본 연구에서는 전기투석법을 이용하여 아미노산 수용액중에 존재하는 전해질인 무기염의 분리 정제에 관하여 고찰하였다. 생물 분리기술로서 아미노산의 등전위점을 이용한 전기투석법의 적합성을 검토하기 위하여 음이온교환막, NEOSEPTA AM1(Tokuyama Soda Co. Ltd., Japan)과 양이온교환막 CM1 (Tokuyama Soda Co. Ltd., Japan)막을 사용한 전기투석조를 설계하였고 아미노산 발효공정과 유사한 계를 만들어서 무기염인 NaCl의 분리실험을 하였다. 즉, 운전조건을 설정하기 위해 pH에 따른 아미노산의 누설량, 한계전류 밀도를 측정한 후, 이를 바탕으로 회분식과 연속식 실험으로 염의 제거량과 아미노산의 누설량을 정량적으로 고찰하고 전류효율을 구하였다. 회분식 장치에서 아미노산 수용액별로 11시간동안 운전한 결과 NaCl의 제거효율은 96.1~96.2%이었고, 아미노산의 누설율은 glycine의 경우 2.5%, methionine의 경우 1.7%, alanine의 겨우 2.0%이었으며, 전류효율은 44.5~44.6% 범위이었다. 연속식 장치에서는 아미노산 수용액별로 dilution rate을 1.0~3.9h-1로 변화시켜 실험한 결과, 120~150분 사이에 정상상태에 도달하였고, 유속이 작을수록 염의 제거 효율은 증가하였으나 전류효율은 감소하였다. 이때 아미노산의 누설은 거의 없었다.

In the industrial wastewater that occupies a large proportion of river pollution, the wastewater generated in textile, leather, and plating industries is hardly decomposable. Though dyeing wastewater has generally been treated using chemical and biological methods, its characteristics cause treatment efficiencies such as chemical oxygen demand (COD) and suspended solids (SS) to be reduced only in the activated sludge method. Currently, advanced oxidation technology for the treatment of dyeing wastewater is being developed worldwide. Electro-coagulation is highly adapted to industrial wastewater treatment because it has a high removal efficiency and a short processing time regardless of the biodegradable nature of the contaminant. In this study, the effects of the current density and the electrolyte condition on the COD removal efficiency in dyeing wastewater treatment by using electro-coagulation were tested with an aluminum anode and a stainless steel cathode. The results are as follows: ① When the current density was adjusted to 20 A/m2, 40 A/m2, and 60 A/m2 under the condition without electrolyte, the COD removal efficiency at 60 min was 62.3%, 72.3%, and 81.0%, respectively. ② The removal efficiency with NaCl addition was 7.9% higher on average than that with non-addition at all current densities. ③ The removal efficiency with Na2SO4 addition was 4.7% higher on average than that with non-addition at all current densities.

본 연구에서는 전기분해 격막 및 전해액에 따른 전해산화 수의 물리적 특성 및 미생물의 표면살균 효과를 검토하였다. 격막 방식의 전기분해수 제조 시스템의 최적조건은 간극이 1.0 mm 20% NaCl 첨가량이 6 mL/mm 일 때 제조된 전해산화수의 물성치가 ORP 1,170 mV 수준, HClO 함량 100 ppm 수준, pH 2.5 수준으로 가장 우수하게 나타났으며, 1단 방식보다는 2단의 전기분해 방식이 물성 측면에서 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

The conductivity test is a measure of electrolytes leakage from plant tissue. The shorter the maturation period after heading was the greater electrical conductivity (EC) of rice seed. The polymer-coated seed was not different in EC compared with non-coated seed. As soaking time of rice seed increased, EC increased gradually. The EC varied from 9.9 to 20.7~mu S cm-1g-l for control plots and from 21.3 to 41.7~mu S cm-1g-l for heat-killed seeds which were produced by autoclaving seeds at 121~circC for 20 minutes. The germination speed (the rate of 5th day) of rice seed was 94% at control plot, 83% at low temperature and 20% at high temperature. Besides, germination percentage was 95% for the control, 92% for the low temperature treatment and 39% for the high temperature treatment. The EC was negatively correlated (r=-0.771** ) with germination percentage at low temperature. Water uptake in seeds of 30, 40, 50 days after heading (DAH) was greater than that of 20 DAH. Plant height of seedlings was 9.84 cm for the control but 4.32 cm for the high temperature treatment, and the tallest for polymer-coated seed. Dry weight of seedlings was 0.841 g for the control and 0.287 g at high temperature. Besides, the polymer-coated seed was heavier than non-coated seed. The number of roots was largest from 40 to 50 DAH and polymer-coated seed, but was decreased from 20 to 30 DAH. The length of roots was 20.52 cm at control plot and 19.89 cm polymer-coated seed but 8.68 cm for the low temperature treatment and 7.28 cm for the high temperature treatment.

Polyme coating 종자의 환경적응성을 구명하기 위한 일환으로 콩 종자에 10종의 polymer를 coating하여 각 coating polymer별 conductivity, 발아력, 수분흡수력을 조사하였던 바 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. Conductivity는 polymer coating한 종자가 coating하지 않은 종자보다 높았으며, 가장 높았던 polymer는 waterlock이었다. 2. Conductivity는 침종 후 시간이 경과할 수록 높아졌고, 100립중이 무거울 수록 높았다. 3. 수확년도가 오래된 종자의 conductivity가 당년에 수확한 종자보다도 높게 나타났다 4. 수분흡수 정도는 coating polymer에 따라 각각 달랐는데 daran 8600은 질이 떨어지는 종자에서는 수분흡수를 크게 저 해하였다. 5. Coating polymer 중 waterlock, captan, klucel, sacrust 등은 발아율을 상승시켰고, daran 8600은 발아율을 저하시켰으며 나머지 polymer는 품종에 따라 각각 달랐고 그 정도는 질이 떨어지는 종자에서 훨씬 컸다. 6. Polymer의 특성에 따라 수분흡수를 저해하거나 조장하였다.
