Influence of mixing ratio of blending oil (rice bran oil : RBD palm olein = 1 : 1, 1 : 4 mixture: w/w) and natural tocopherol, citric acid, and sodium polyphosphate on enhancement of oxidation stability of blending oil under the condition of tap water infulx(1 ml/min/200g oil) were compared by AOM test after heating these system at l80℃. In addition, the effects of tocopherol, and synergist on oxidition stability were also tested with potato chips fried with blending oil(1 : 4 mixture). The result obtained were as followes; 1. The test of RBD palm olein addition of 50% and 80% against rice bran oil on oxidation stability showed that the higher the palm olein contents in blending oil, the higher the oxidation stability. 2. The test of oxidation stability, adding l00ppm, 200ppm and 400ppm of natural tocopherol in two different types of blending oils, A(1 : 1 mixture) and B(1 : 4 mixture), disclosed that blending oil B was more positively effective, and this trend was superior at 200ppm level particularly, Furthermore, oxidation stability was enhanced remarkably upon addition of 100ppm of natural tocopherol, and 50ppm of citric acid together with 50ppm, 100ppm and 200ppm of sodium polyphosphate in general. Especially, 200ppm of sodium polyphosphate addition induced the most synergetic effect on oxidation stability showing as much as 3 times compare to control. 3. The results of oxidation stability obtained by peroxide value on potato chips fried with blending oil (1:4 mixture added tocopherol, citric acid and sodium polyphosphate and preserved at 60℃ revealed that addition of tocopherol and 50ppm of citric acid together with 200ppm of sodium polyphosphate treatment was the most synergistic coinciding with AOM test results.

Effectiveness of some natural antioxidants were investigated by measuring the physico-chemical charcteristics and fatty acid composition during thermal oxidation in palm oil. Tocopherol showed most enhanced thermal oxidation stabilities compared to the other natural antioxidants. AR spice was no good AOM stability and changes of acid value but the other parameters were obtained desirable results. The changes of linoleic aicd content was slightly decreased during thermal oxidation. Addition of rosemary and glycyrriza extract increased the stabilities of oil less than tocopherol and AR spice. Order of antioxdative effects was tocopherol, AR spice and others. There was no significiant difference in stability of rosemary and glycyrriza extract.

To investigate the protective action of various antioxidants on the photooxidation of rice bran oil, it was irradiated with red and visible light in presence and absence antioxidants with or without sensitizer (methylene blue). 1. Rice bran oil with and without sensitizer in chloroform-ethanol (4:1, v/v) media was largely oxidized under visible light irradiation. on the other hand, rice bran oil without sensitizer was hardly oxidized under red light irradiation. 2. Rice bran oil with sensitizer was oxidized much faster than that without. And the absorbance of it irradiated with visible was increased more than that with red light. 3. The effectiveness of antioxidants on the rice bran oil photooxidation was same order as follows: Irradiation with visible light, no addition of sensitizer β-carotene 〉 dl-α-tocopherol 〉 BHT 〉 BHA Irradiation with visible light, addition of sensitizer β-carotene 〉 BHT 〉 dl-αtocopherol 〉 BHA Irradiation with red light, addition of sensitizer β-carotene 〉 BHA 〉 BHT 〉 dl-α-tocopherol From these results, we concluded that rice bran oil was largely oxidized under visible light irradiation, therefore it must be protected from photooxidative deterioration by the addition of antioxidants.

The study was carried out to investigate interrelationships among the acid, peroxide, iodine, thiobarbituric acid values, and changes of fatty acid compositions of some vegetable oils added to soybean milk. A storage temperature of 100℃ was used for the oxidation of the oils, and to determine of variation of the chemical properties and changes of the fatty acid composition, all the samples were carried out in every 8 hours for 40 hours. The changes in fatty acid compositions of the vegetable oils were measured by high performance liquid chromatography. The results obtained were as follow; 1. The acid values of the fresh soybean, corn, and palm oils added to the soybean milk were 0.05, 0.12, and 0.06, whereas those of the oils stored for 40 hours were 0.08, 0.18, and 0.09, respectively. 2. The peroxide values of the fresh soybean, corn, and palm oils added to the soybean milk were 0.3, 1.0, and 0.3, whereas those of the oils stored for 40 hours were 1.1, 1.1, and 0.9, respectively. 3. The iodine values of the fresh soybean, corn, and palm oils added to the soybean milk were 132.7, 124.1, and 57.0, whereas those of the oils stored for 40 hours were 127.3 108.3, and 52.0, respectively. 4. The thiobarbituric acid values of fresh soybean, corn, and palm oils added to the soybean milk were 0.18, 0.05, and 0.02, whereas those of the oils stored for 40 hours were 0.25, 0.19, and 0.07, respectively. 5. The percent content of the major fatty acids of the soybean, corn, and palm oils freshly added to the soybean milk were 2.3%,2.5%,and 25.2%for palmitic acid, 3.2%,3.2%,and 4.8%for stearic acid, 39.7%, 40.7%, and 59.3% for oleic acid, 49.9%, 53.0%, and 10.5% for linoleic acid, and 4.7%, 0.4%, and 0.7% for linolenic acid, respectively. Those of the oils stored for 40 hours were 2.9%, 4,5%, and 36.7% for palmitic acid, 8.5%, 6.8%, and 7.0% for stearic acid, 37.8%, 38.8%, and 49.2% for oleic acid, 46.2%, 49.5%, and 5.8% for linoleic acid, and 4.2%, 0.1%, and 0.1% for linolenic acid, respectively. The fatty acid compositions changed significantly: the amounts of the unsaturated fatty acid decreased considerably. The rsults of the present study demonstrated greater stability of the palm oil as compared with the stability of soybean oil and corn oil added to the soybean milk.

This study investigated the treatment of acetaminophen in municipal wastewater by conventional ozonation, ozone-based advanced oxidation, ozone/UV, and the electro-peroxone process. The ozone/UV process and electro-peroxone process of electric power consumption increased 1.25 and 2.04 times, respectively, compared to the ozone process. The pseudo-steady OH radical concentration was the greatest in the　electro-peroxone process and lowest in the ozone process. The specific energy consumption for TOC decomposition of the ozone/UV process and electro-peroxone process were 22.8% and 15.5% of the ozone process, respectively. Results suggest that it is advantageous in terms of degradation performance and energy consumption to use a combination of processes in municipal wastewater treatment, rather than an ozone process alone. In combination with the ozone process, the electrolysis process was found to be more advantageous than the UV process.

Organic contaminants can be released into water environments due to chemical accidents and exist as dissolved and non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPL). Fenton oxidation was tested for bisphenol A and nitrobenzene as model organic contaminants in dissolved and NAPL states. Fenton oxidation was successfully applied for both of the dissolved and NAPL states of the two pollutants and the results indicated that a quick treatment was needed to reduce the risk from a chemical accidents instead of carrying out oxidation after the contaminants dissolve in water. A set of Fenton reactions were tested under seawater conditions because chemical accidents often occurs in the ocean. Chloride ions act as radical scavengers and inhibit Fenton oxidation. The reaction rate is inversely proportional to salt contents and the reduced reaction rate can be compensated by increasing the quantity of the oxidizing agents. The current study showes that Fenton oxidation could be applied as a quick treatments for organic contaminant in dissolved and NAPL state organic contaminants released as a result of leaks or chemical accidents.

In this study, the applicability of reduction-oxidation-linked treatment was evaluated for nitrobenzene and a by-product by analyzing the reaction kinetics. Nitrobenzene showed very low reactivity to persulfate that was activated using various methods. Nitrobenzene effectively reacted through the reduction process using Zero-Valent Iron (ZVI). However, aniline, a toxic substance, was produced as a by-product. Reduction-oxidation-linked treatment is a method that can allow the oxidative degradation of aniline after reducing nitrobenzene to aniline. The experimental results show improved reactivity and complete decomposition of the by-product. Improved reactivity and decomposition of the by-product were observed even under conditions in which the reduction-oxidation reaction was induced simultaneously. No activator was injected for persulfate activation in the process of reducing oxidant linkage, and the activation reaction was induced by ferrous iron eluted from the ZVI. This indicates that this method can be implemented relatively simply.

In this study, we evaluated the photocatalytic oxidation efficiency of aromatic volatile hydrocarbons by using WO3–doped TiO2 nanotubes (WTNTs) under visible-light irradiation. One-dimensional WTNTs were synthesized by ultrasonic-assisted hydrothermal method and impregnation. XRD analysis revealed successful incorporation of WO3 into TiO2 nanotube (TNT) structures. UV-Vis spectra exhibited that the synthesized WTNT samples can be activated under visible light irradiation. FE-SEM and TEM images showed the one-dimensional structure of the prepared TNTs and WTNTs. The photocatalytic oxidation efficiencies of toluene, ethylbenzene, and o-xylene were higher using WTNT samples than undoped TNT. These results were explained based on the charge separation ability, adsorption capability, and light absorption of the sample photocatalysts. Among the different light sources, light-emitting-diodes (LEDs) are more highly energy-efficient than 8-W daylight used for the photocatalytic oxidation of toluene, ethylbenzene, and o-xylene, though the photocatalytic oxidation efficiency is higher for 8-W daylight.

기후 변화가 점차 가속되는 현 상황에서 온실가스를 줄이고자 하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히 우리나라에서 발생하는 메탄가스 배출량은 2014년 기준 26.6백만톤 CO2eq 수준으로, 이중 약 27% (약 7.3 백만톤 CO2eq)는 폐기물 매립지에서 유출되고 있다. 또한, 국내 230개소의 매립지 중 대규모 매립지 17개 시설에서만 매립가스 자원화 시설을 운영하고 있으며, 매립지에서 발생하는 메탄의 29%만을 자원화로 이용하고 있다. 나머지 중소규모매립지를 포함하여 71%의 메탄은 무방비 상태로 대기상으로 유출되고 있다. 기존의 매립지 가스 처리방법으로는 매립가스에 포함된 메탄을 회수하여 에너지화하는 ‘매립가스자원화’ 및 매립가스를 소각처리하는 ‘연소방식’으로 구분할 수 있다. 매립가스자원화는 메탄가스 농도가 30%~40% 이상이고 매립가스 발생량이 2~3Nm3/min이상이어야 하는 단점이 있으며, 대규모 매립지에서만 경제성이 확보되는 한계가 있다. 연소처리는 중소규모 매립지에서도 적용은 가능하지만, 가스 포집 시설의 설치가 필요하고 처리 효율이 낮으며, 불완전 연소로 인해 다이옥신 등이 발생하는 단점이 있다. 매립지 규모별 메탄가스의 처리기술의 경제성을 비교하였을 때 매립지 규모에 상관없이 생물학적 산화기술이 연소처리에 비해 저비용으로 메탄을 처리할 수 있는 것으로 확인되었으며 폐기물 매립량이 600,000톤 이하인 경우에는 매립가스자원화보다도 경제적임을 확인할 수 있다. 생물학적 산화 시스템은 유럽 등에서는 중소규모 매립지에서의 탄소중립을 위하여 제시되었으며, 매립지 복토층에 서식하는 미생물을 이용하여 메탄을 이산화탄소로 산화시키는 기술이다. 미생물 복토층을 최적의 서식 조건으로 조성함으로써 메탄산화 효율을 증진시킬 수 있으며, 미생물의 메탄 산화 속도 및 매립 가스 발생량에 따라 메탄저감 효율이 좌우되며, 매립가스 발생량이 적은 경우 100%까지도 산화가 가능한 바이오필터와 같이 인위적인 메탄산화 시스템을 운영할 수도 있다. 이에 본 연구는 매립토, 퇴비, 부숙토 3가지의 시료를 대상으로 회분식 실험을 통해 메탄산화균의 활성도를 파악하였다. 또한 실험결과, 메탄산화가 가장 우수한 매립토를 대상으로 메탄산화균을 분리배양 하였으며, 이후 연속식 실험을 통해 메탄산화균의 메탄산화속도를 평가하였다.

A continuous process of persulfate oxidation and citric acid washing was investigated for ex-situ remediation of complex contaminated soil containing total recoverable petroleum hydrocarbons (TRPHs) and heavy metals (Cu, Pb, and Zn). The batch experiment results showed that TRPHs could be degraded by Fe2+ activated persulfate oxidation and that heavy metals could be removed by washing with citric acid. For efficient remediation of the complex contaminated soil, two-stage and three-stage processes were evaluated. Removal efficiency of the two-stage process (persulfate oxidation - citric acid washing) was 83% for TRPHs and 49%, 53%, 24% for Cu, Zn, and Pb, respectively. To improve the removal efficiency, a three-stage process was also tested; case A) water washing - persulfate oxidation - citirc acid washing and case B) persulfate oxidation - citric acid washing (1) - citric acid washing (2). In case A, 63% of TRPHs, 73% of Cu, 60% of Zn, and 55% of Pb were removed, while the removal efficiencies of TRPHs, Cu, Pb, and Zn were 24%, 68%, 62%, and 59% in case B, respectively. The results indicated that case A was better than case B. The three-stage process was more effective than the two-stage process for the remediation of complex-contaminated soil in therms of overall removal efficiency.

Oxidative degradation of chlorinated ethenes was carried out using heat-activated persulfate. The activation rate of persulfate was dependent on the temperature and the activation reaction rate could be explained based on the Arrhenius equation. The activation energy of persulfate was 19.3 kcal/mol under the assumption that the reaction between the sulfate radical and tricholoroethene (TCE) is very fast. Activation could be achieved at a moderate temperature, so that the adverse effects due to high temperature in the soil environment were mitigated. The reaction rate of TCE was directly proportional to the concentration of persulfate, indicating that the remediation rate can be controlled by the concentration of the injected persulfate. The solution was acidized after the oxidation, and this was dependent on the oxidation temperature. The consumption rate of persulfate was high in the presence of the target organic, but the self-decomposition rate became very low as the target was completely removed.

A coating system derived from the combination of a sodium and a potassium water glass was developed to apply for steel in oxidizing and humidity environments at elevated temperature. Parameters such as filler volume, viscosity or coating thickness were varied to optimize the coatings. The coated specimens were investigated by TGA, SEM/EDS, and XRD to clarify the microstructure morphology and anti-oxidation behavior. Finally, oxidation tests, adhesion tests, thermal shock resistance tests and humidity resistance tests were performed to evaluate the performance of developed coating.

The current study was performed to investigate the changes of bio-activities of Salicornia europaea (SE) depending on the different dry methods. The ethanol extracts were prepared from the freeze-drying SE (FD), hot-air drying SE (HD), and shade drying SE (SD). Their anti-oxidant and anti-thrombosis activities were compared. The yields of ethanol extraction in FD, HD, and SD were 14.4, 13.2 and 11.9%, respectively. The highest contents of total polyphenol (4.6 mg/g) and total sugar (23.4 mg/g) were shown in FD, whereas, the highest content of reducing sugar (14.6 mg/g) was observed in HD. In anti-oxidation activity assay, the FD and HD showed similar radical scavenging activities and reducing power. However, in SD, nitrite scavenging activity and reducing power were severely decreased. In anti-coagulation activity assay, the thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) of FD, HD and SD did not show significant changes at 5 mg/mL concentration. But the HD at 7 mg/mL had strong inhibitions against thrombin and blood coagulation factors. The platelet aggregation and hemolysis activities were not affected by dry methods. Our results suggest that both FD and HD are effective to maintain the functional ingredient of SE, and HD is economic and efficient dry process for production of functional food.

본 연구에서는 홍차 흑효모 발효물의 기능성화장품 소재로서의 가능성을 규명하고자 항산화, 미백, 항주 름 효능을 확인하였다. 홍차 흑효모 발효물의 결과는 홍차 추출물, 흑효모 발효물과 비교하여 나타내었다. 항산 화능 평가 결과 홍차 흑효모 발효물은 흑효모 발효물보다 뛰어난 DPPH 라디칼 소거능을 나타냈으며 홍차 추출 물과는 유사한 결과를 나타냈다. 과산화수소로 유도된 세포 내 활성산소종 실험에서도 홍차 흑효모 발효물은 유의적 제거 활성을 보였다. 또한 홍차 흑효모 발효물은 tyrosinase 저해 활성을 보이며 Melan-a, B16F10 세포를 이용한 멜라닌 형성이 억제됨을 확인하였다. 항주름 효능 확인을 위해 콜라겐 분해 효소(MMP-1)를 측정한 결과 홍차 흑효모 발효물이 홍차 추출물, 흑효모 발효물보다 높은 항주름 활성을 보였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 홍차 흑효모 발효물은 항산화능 효능을 보이며 미백, 항주름 효능을 보아 기능성 화장품 소재로 개발될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

고도산화공정(Advanced Oxidation Process, AOP) 중 하나인 펜톤 산화법은 과산화수소(H2O2)와 2가철 이온(Fe2+)이 반응하여 OH 라디칼을 생성함으로써, OH 라디칼의 강한 산화력으로 유기물을 분해하는 방법이다(Kim et al., 2016). 펜톤 산화는 다양한 유기물과의 높은 반응성을 지닌다는 점과 생물학적으로 분해가 어려운 물질을 산화·분해시켜 생물학적 처리가 가능하도록 한다는 등의 장점을 지니고 있다(Lee et al., 2003, Sung et al., 2006). 그러나, 펜톤 산화는 유기물과의 반응 후 펜톤 슬러지를 부산물로 다량 생성하기 때문에 발생된 슬러지를 처리하는 공정이 추가적으로 요구된다. 또한, 펜톤 슬러지는 다량의 난분해성 물질과 철염 등을 함유하고 있기 때문에 처리하는 방법이 까다롭다. 펜톤 슬러지는 주로 ‘매립’으로 처리하고 있으나 매립지 크기의 한계 및 수명 단축, 비싼 처리비용 등의 문제가 뒤따르기 때문에 이에 대한 대책이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 펜톤 슬러지를 처리하는 방안으로 펜톤 산화용 철 촉매로의 재이용을 제안하였고, 크게 슬러지 용해, 슬러지 내 철 이온 전환, 철 촉매 실사용 단계로 나눠 연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구는 ‘D’ 산업용수센터에서 발생하는 RO 농축폐수를 펜톤 산화법으로 처리한 후 발생하는 펜톤 슬러지를 대상으로 실시하였다. 반고체 형태의 펜톤 슬러지에 산(acid)을 가하면 용해액 상태로 바뀌는데 이는 펜톤 슬러지 사용을 용이하게 만든다. 이에 pH, 반응시간 등의 실험 인자를 바꿔가며 슬러지 용해 최적조건을 찾고자 하였다. 한편, 펜톤 슬러지를 펜톤 산화용 철 촉매로 재이용하기 위해서는 용해된 펜톤 슬러지 내 철 형태가 2가철 이온으로 존재하는 것이 유리하다. 용해된 펜톤 슬러지 내 철 이온은 대부분 3가철 형태로 존재하는데 Zn, Cd, Cu 등의 금속, 요오드산, 철편 등의 환원제를 투입함으로써 3가철을 2가철 이온으로 환원할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 영가철을 환원제로 사용하여 용해된 슬러지 내 철 이온을 2가철 이온으로 환원하였다. 용해된 펜톤 슬러지에 영가철을 투입하였고 pH, 반응시간, 영가철 투입량 등 반응 인자를 바꿔가며 펜톤 슬러지 내 2가철 이온 전환의 최적조건을 찾고자 하였다. 두 단계를 거쳐 생성된 펜톤 슬러지 기반의 철 촉매는 실제 RO 농축폐수를 펜톤 산화로 처리할 때 펜톤 산화 시약으로 사용하였으며, 실제 펜톤 산화에서 사용하는 2가철 촉매(FeSO4)와 비교하여 펜톤슬러지 기반의 철 촉매의 효율성을 평가하였다.

This research examined the possibility of the temperature maintenance of an anaerobic digestion reactor without external heating by the oxidation heat generated in an aerobic fermenter, considering the difficulties of anaerobic digestion because of the winter season in Korea. For the experiment, an anaerobic digestion chamber was installed inside, the device with aerobic fermentation installed outside was used, the anaerobic digestion chamber was covered, and the raw material was used in the perspective of handling livestock excretion and food waste. During 230 days of operation in total, normal operation was started after about 120 days, and during that operating time, the temperature change, degradation behavior of organisms, and digestion yield were analyzed; the results are shown below. In the situation excluding the aerobic reactor in the summer season, maintaining the temperature of the digestion chamber at 30°C was possible through heat storage within the house, but the temperature decreased to about 20°C because of the outside temperature in the winter season, and maintaining the temperature of the digestion chamber at 25°C was possible as long as the aerobic fermentation chamber maintained its temperature of more than 50°C. Regarding the results for the effects of the inside and outside temperature of the house on the aerobic reactor chamber temperature, a significant effect was not examined, and it was identified that the aerobic reactor temperature relied on the degree of aerobic microorganism vitalization. When using a hot-water system with solar heat, the possibility of usage as complementary energy in the unstable winter season was checked. Even in the winter season, maintaining the temperature of the anaerobic digestion chamber without external heating was possible, and even during the time of operation, although the temperature changed from 25°C to 38°C, methane gas was stably produced.

Aeration with low energy micro-bubble generation and UV/H2O2 processes was introduced to verify the possibility of oxidation treatment for acid mine drainage. During 10 hours of aeration with micro-bubbles, Fe and As concentrations were decreased to 18.1 and 61.8%, respectively, while Cu, Cd, Al were kept at influent concentrations. Other heavy metals such as Mn, Cr, Pb, Zn, and Ni concentrations fluctuated due to the repetition of oxidation and release. Twenty days of aeration indicated the oxidation possibility for Cu, Cd, and Al. With the employment of UV/H2O2 processes, more than 77% of Cu and Fe removed, whereas slightly more than 30% of Cd and Al removed.

The re-emission of mercury (Hg), as a consequence of the formation and dissociation of the unstable complex HgSO3, is a problem encountered in flue gas desulphurization (FGD) treatment in coal-fired power plants. A model following a pseudo-second-order rate law for Hg2+ reduction was derived as a function of [SO32-], [H+] and temperature and fitted with experimentally obtained data to generate kinetic rate values of (0.120 ± 0.04, 0.847 ± 0.07, 1.35 ± 0.4) mM-1 for 40°, 60°, and 75℃, respectively. The reduction of Hg2+ increases with a temperature increase but shows an inverse relationship with proton concentration. Plotting the model-fitted kinetic rate constants yields ΔH = 61.7 ± 1.82 kJ mol-1, which is in good agreement with literature values for the formation of Hg0 by SO32-. The model could be used to better understand the overall Hg2+ re-emission by SO32- happening in aquatic systems such as FGD wastewaters.

The objective of this study was to determine the CH4 oxidation factor (%) and the CH4 oxidation rate (g m−2 d−1) in landfill cover soil. To quantify in-situ rates of CH4 oxidation, CH4 and CO2 fluxes were measured on a landfill site using the static chamber technique. The CH4 oxidation factor obtained in this study through the mass balance method ranged between 41% and 61%, which is much higher than the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) default value of 10%. The higher CH4 oxidation factor derived in this study can be explained by the CH4 bottom flux in addition to the soil texture. The CH4 oxidation factors were observed to increase with decreases in CH4 bottom flux. Therefore, when CH4 bottom fluxes are high in a landfill, using a gas collection system can enhance CH4 oxidation factor. The CH4 oxidation rates were estimated to range from 16.6 g m−2 d−1 to 20.8 g m−2 d−1. In addition, this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of vegetation on the CH4 oxidation factor. The results showed that the CH4 oxidation factors for bare soil, vegetated soil, and soil adjacent to a gas well were 57%, 70%, and 44%, respectively. The results indicate that vegetation on landfill covers can increase the CH4 oxidation factor because of increasing soil porosity.

산화대 금 광석에 존재하는 적철석을 암모니아 용액을 이용하여 제거하여 금과 은의 회수율을 향상시키고자 하였다. 산화대에는 석영, 적철석, 백운모가 존재하고 있으며, 적철석은 수성기원으로 형성되었다. 다양한 변수에 대하여 암모니아 용출실험을 수행한 결과, Fe 최대 용출 인자는 -45 μm 입도 크기, 1.0 M의 황산 농도, 5.0 g/l의 황산암모늄 농도 그리고 2.0 M의 과산화수소 농도일 때였다. 이 암모니아 용출용액으로부터 침철석이 침전-형성되는 것을 확인하였으며, 고체-잔류물에서 Fe-제거 량이 증가할수록 Au와 Ag 회수율이 증가하였다.
