Functionalized organic polymers have been used as supports for heterogenized homogeneous catalytic process[1]. Sprcific advantages of using these resins as support reagents have been reviewed[2-4]. These include: -ease of by-product separation from the main reaction product usuallyby simple filtration. -prevention of intermolecular reaction of reactive species or functional groups by simulating high dilution conditions[5]. -utility of the "fish-hook" principle in which a minor component in fished out of a large excess substrate by the insoluble polymer[6]. -the possibility of reusing recovered reagents as well as eliminating the use of volatile or noxious substances[7]. Catalysis by ion-exchange membranes is perhaps one of the latest examples of the use of a polymer-supported species. Conceptually, catalysts on membrane supports offer several possible advantages over traditional powder type systems. They are: (1) Membranes immobilize the catalyst, preventing agglomeration. (2) Filtration is unnecessary for the catalyst separation and so complete catalyst recovery is facilitated. (3) Catalytyic and separation processes can be combined, allowing membrane supported catalysts for the continous flow reactors. reactors.

The catalytic power exhibited by the lipases in organic solvents is comparable to that displayed in water. In addition to transesterification, lipases Can catalyze several other processes in organic media.

In order to photocatalytically treat organic matter (CODCr) and chromaticity effectively, chemical coagulation and sedimentation processes were employed as a pretreatment of the leachate produced from landfill in Jeju Island. This was performed using FeCl3･6H2O as a coagulant. For the treated leachate, UV/TiO2 and UV/TiO2/H2O2 systems were investigated, using 4 types of UV lamps, including an ozone lamp (24 W), TiO2 as a photocatalyst, and/or H2O2 as an initiator or inhibitor for photocatalytic degradation. In the chemical coagulation and sedimentation process using FeCl3･6H2O, optimum removal was achieved with an initial pH of 6, and a coagulant dosage of 2.0 g/L, culminating in the removal of 40% CODCr and 81% chromaticity. For the UV/TiO2 system utilizing an ozone lamp and 3 g/L of TiO2, the optimum condition was obtained at pH 5. However, the treated CODCr and chromaticity did not meet the emission standards (CODCr: 400 mg/L, chromaticity: 200 degrees) in a clean area. However, for a UV/TiO2/H2O2 system using 1.54 g/L of H2O2 in addition to the above optimum UV/TiO2 system, the results were 395 mg/L and 160 degrees, respectively, which were within the emission standard limits. The effect of the UV lamp on the removal of CODCr, and chromaticity of the leachate decreased in the order of ozone (24 W) lamp > 254 nm (24 W) lamp > ozone (14 W) lamp > 254 nm (14 W) lamp. Only CODCr and chromaticity treated with the ozone (24 W) lamp met the emission standards.

V2O5-TiO2 catalysts were prepared by various methods. V2O5-TiO2 were prepared by sol-gel method with different drying conditions (aerogel and xerogel), and V2O5 supported on TiO2 obtained by sol-gel method with precipitation-deposition method and impregnation method. The performance of the V2O5-TiO2 catalysts was investigated for the selective oxidation of hydrogen sulfide in the stream containing both ammonia and excess water. All the catalysts showed good dispersion of vanadium and they had high H2S conversion with no or little production of sulfur dioxide. The V2O5-TiO2 aerogel catalyst prepared by sol-gel method with drying under super critical condition had the highest surface area which led to better catalytic activity compared to those by other synthesis methods.

This study investigated the use of a hydroxyl-radicals-generated microbubble/catalyst (MB/Cat) system for removing organic pollutants, nitrogen, and phosphorous from liquid fertilizer produced by livestock wastewater treatment. Use of the MB/Cat system aims to improve the quality of liquid fertilizer by removing pollutants originally found in the wastewater. In addition, a reduction effect has been reported for antibiotics classified as representative non-biodegradable matter. Samples of liquid fertilizer produced by an aerobic biological reactor for swine wastewater treatment were first analyzed for initial concentrations of pollutants and antibiotics. When the MB/Cat system was applied to the liquid fertilizer, TCOD, TOC, BOD5, and NH3-N, and PO4-P removal efficiencies were found to be approximately 52%, 51%, 30%, 21%, and 66%, respectively. Additionally, Amoxicillin hydrate was removed by 10%, and Chlortetracycline HCl and Florfenicol were not present at detectable levels These findings confirm that the MB/Cat system can be used with livestock wastewater treatment to improve liquid fertilizer quality and to process wastewater that is safe for agricultural re-use.

본 연구에서는 빛 감성친화형 콘크리트에 광촉매를 적용하여 대기질 및 실내공기질을 개선하기 위한 LEFC 블록을 개발하고자 하였다. LEFC에 광촉매를 적용하게 되면 자외선 입사면 반대편에서도 투과로 인한 자외선이 존재하여 광촉매가 반응함으로써 일반 건축 자재를 적용한 경우보다 광촉매 반응효율이 크게 상승한다. 따라서 광촉매를 LEFC에 적용하기 위해 슬럼프, J-ring, L-box 테스트를 통한 자기충전성능을 평가하여 최적 배합을 결정하였고, 압축 및 휨 강도 시험을 통해 역학성능을 평가하였다. 그리고 TiO2 분포도를 확인하기 위해 SEM과 EDS 분석을 실시하였다.
