In a pilot-scale dyeing wastewater treatment using two-type fluidizing media, each thickness of biofilm was 15 and 30 μm, respectively. The numbers of protozoa inhabited in small-size (PEMT A) and big-size (PEMT B) media were 7.5 x 104 and 1.25 x 105 cells/ml, respectively, and dominant species were Entosiphon sulcatus var sulcatus in PEMT A and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in PEMT B, respectively. Flask experiments using the two media revealed that the percentages of color removal were 25.8% in PEMT A and 27.1% in PEMT B after 72-h cultivation, indicating the necessity of bioaugmentation. Experiments for bioaugmentation effect on color removal were carried out in the pilot-scale treatment for 75 d by three-step operation under the control of wastewater loading rate and microbial input rate. Dye degradation occurred mainly in the second reaction tank, and the attachment of augmented dye-degrading microorganisms to media took at least 35 d. Final value of chromaticity in effluent was 227, meeting the required standard. Therefore bioaugmentation onto media was good for color treatment. In summary, thickness of biofilm formed on the media depended upon the size of media, resulting in different ecosystem inside the media. Hence, this affected microbial community and color treatment further. Accordingly, the reduction of operation cost is expected by efficient color-treatment process using bioaugmented media.

This study provides a result of thermal mercury reduction for inventing a mercury recovery technology from the sludgewhich contains high concentration of mercury. Physical, chemical and thermal properties of the sludge were analyzed andmercury degradation at elevated temperatures was investigated to find out the optimum temperature range for thermalrecovery of mercury from the sludge generated from an industrial facility, which contained high concentration of mercury.The study was carried out in the temperature range of up to 650oC from 200oC, and 500~710µm particle size of wastesludge samples were selected from such industries. As primary thermal tests the sludge was heated up to observe weightdegradation at a continuous weight measurable thermogravimetric analyzer and a muffle furnace and the degradationcurves from both devices were found to be well matched. Mercury conversion to gaseous form was investigated fromthe analyzed data of mercury concentrations sampled every 25oC from a muffle furnace. Cold vapor atomic absorptionspectroscopy (CVAAS) Hg analyzer was used for the analysis of mercury content in solid and liquid samples. Most ofmercury was degraded and released as gas phase at the temperature range from 300oC to 550oC, which could be theoptimum temperature of mercury recovery by thermal method for the sludge containing high concentration of mercury.Based on these thermal mercury reduction studies, degradation kinetics study of mercury was conducted to provide thereaction kinetics data for further reactor design to recover mercury using a thermal method.

본 연구에서는 백합과에 속하는 덩굴성 관목인 청미래덩굴 70% 에탄올 추출물과 열수 추출물의 항산화 및 항당뇨에 대한 활성을 연구하였다. 총 폴리페놀 함량 과 플라보노이드 함량 측정, 전자공여능, ABTs 소거능, SOD 유사활성능, xanthine oxidase 저해활성, ACE 저해활성, TBARs측정, PF값 측정 및 α-glucosidase 와 α-amylase 의 저해활성을 측정하였다. 그 결과 총 폴리페놀 함량과 플라보노이드 함량은 에탄올 추출물에 함유량이 더 많았으며, 전자공여능, ABTs 소거능, SOD 유사활성능, xanthine oxidase 저해활성, ACE 저해활성, TBARs 측정, PF값 측정 결과 모두 청미래 덩굴 열수 추출물보다 에탄올 추출물의 활성이 우수하였다. 또한 α-glucosidase 와 α-amylase 의 저해활성을 측정한 결과 에탄올 추출물의 활성이 열수 추출물보다 우수하였다. 이상의 검증 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 청미래 덩굴의 에탄올 추출물의 항산화 및 항 당뇨 활성이 우수하였고, 차후 항산화 및 항 당뇨 예방물질 소재로서의 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, the rotational solar tracker system is presented for the high electric efficiency. The horizontal rotation tracker is the structure for rotationg horizontally the most important part. However, it is difficult to secure the safety and maintenance in solar tracker systems. Therefore, this study suggests the reasonable structure type for horizontal rotational solar tracker through the strength reinforcement of the structure to ensure stability.

The purpose of this experimental study is to investigate the influence of chemical resistance of concrete using KOH and Non-sintered binder. As a result, concrete using KOH and Non-sintered binder was confirmed to be superior than ordinary of concrete chemical resistance.
