Fe­석류석인 경우, 사면체 배위를 하는 Fe의 이온반경이 Si보다 크기 때문에 고준위 방사성 폐기물에 다량 함유되어 있는 악티나이드 원소들을 고정화시킬 수 있는 매트릭스로 고려되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Ca2,5C e0.5Z r2F e3 O12 및 Ca2CeZrFeF e3 O12인 조성을 가진 석류석을 합성하여 이들의 상평형 관계 및 특성을 연구하였다. 혼합된 시료는 200∼400 kg/ cm2의 압력으로 성형한 후, 1100∼1400℃ 범위에서 온도 및 분위기를 변화시키면서 소결하였으며 합성된 시료는 XRD, SEM/EDS를 사용하여 상분석과 정량분석을 실시하였다. 실험결과, 이들 조성을 가진 석류석들은 1300℃로 가열하였을 때, 최적 합성상을 얻을 수 있었지만 소량의 페롭스카이트 등 부수상이 공존하였다. Ca2,5C e0.5Z r2F e3 O12 및 Ca2CeZrFeF e3 O12인 조성으로부터 합성된 Fe­석류석의 조성이 각각 Ca2.5­3.2C e0.3­0.7Z r1.8­2.8F e1.9­3.2 O12 및 Ca2.2­2.5C e0.8­1.0Z r1.3­1.6F e0.4­.07 F e3­3.2 O12였다. 특히 화학양론적 조성과 비교시, 합성된 석류석의 8배위 자리를 점하고 있는 Ca이 초과된 양상을 보였고, Ce의 함량은 초과 또는 결핍된 양상을 보였다. 이는 8배위 자리에서의 Ca과 Ce의 이온반경의 상대적인 차이 및 전하보상적 차원에서 비롯된 것으로 해석된다.에서 비롯된 것으로 해석된다.석된다.

Immobilized nitrifier bead in airlift bioreactor were used to remove high levels of ammonia nitrogen from synthetic wastewater. Polyvinylalcohol (PVA) bead for immmobilization of nitrifier consortium were prepared by PVA-boric acid method by varying concentration of PVA and nitrifier consortium. By determining viscosity, sphercity and tailing, the characteristics of prepared beads were investigated and the continous immobilization process was developed. Synthetic wastewater containg 25g/㎥ of ammonia nitrogen could be treated within 0.5 hour and the highest removal rate of ammonia nitrogen was 934.2g/㎥ ·day.

Nitrifier consortium immobilized in polyvinyl alcohol was used for the removal of ammonia nitrogen from synthetic aquaculture water in the airlift bioreactor. At the aeration rate of 0.15 vvm and bead packing volume fraction of 20%, airlift bioreactor was operated effectively for a removal of ammonia nitrogen and for a stability of operation. Ammonia nitrogen removal rate by airlift bioreactor was continuously increased with decreasing hydraulic residence time. At the HRT(hydraulic residence time) of 0.3 hour, ammonia nitrogen removal rate was 84.3 g/㎥·d and the highest ammonia nitrogen removal rate was 130.8 g/㎥·d when HRT was 0.1 hour.

고정화 배양계를 이용하여 감 즙으로부터 식초생산을 효율적으로 행하기 위하여 Saccharomyces cerevisiae의 고정화 형성조건을 검토하였다. 고정화를 위한 최적 Na-alginate의 농도는 2%이었다. 담체의 농도를 1-4%로 변화시키면서 gel beads로부터 누출되는 효모 균수를 검토한 결과, 1%의 농도에서는 배양 8시간째부터 배양액의 탁도가 흐려지는 것이 관찰되어 배양 20시간째에 0.82의 흡광도를 나타내었다. 그러나 2-4

Nitrifier consortium entrapped in Ca-alginate bead were packed into aerated packed bed bioreactor and non aerated packed bed bioreactor and the performances of two bioreactors were evaluated for the removal of ammonia nitrogen from synthetic aquaculture water. Total ammonia nitrogen(TAN) removal rate was decrease in aerated packed bed bioreactor below 0.3hr of hydraulic residence time(HRT), but increased in non aerated packed bed bioreactor until 0.5hr of HRT. At HRT of 0.05 hr, TAN removal rate of non aerated packed bed bioreactor was about 335g TAN/㎥/day and the optimum ratio of packing height and inside diameter of reactor (H/D) was 4. The performance of two bioreactors indicated that non aerated packed bed bioreactor was better than aerated packed bed bioreactor in ammonia removal from synthetic aquaculture water.

In order to develop of support media for biofilm reactor, physicochemical properties and attachability of surface of activated carbon, clay mineral, non-clay mineral, and waste mold sand were examined. Measured physicochemical properties of materials were surface roughness, mean particle size, surface area, hydrophobicity, and surface charge. At a tested materials, activated carbon was the best attachable material and microorganisms were attached 20.1 × 10^7 CFU/㎠ at surface, compared with diatomaceous earth which were attached of 9.2 × 10^7 CFU/㎠. In our research, surface area and hydrophobicity showed more influence than any other factor on attachment of microorganisms.

Decolorization of congo red, rhodamine B was investigated by the white rot fungus Irpex lacteus which has biodegrading capability of various recalcitrants. White rot fungus Irpex lacteus is immobilized by PVA-freezing method. An immobilized Irpex lacteus decolorizes 91% of congo red in 8 days under culture with glucose 2%(initial conc.). It also showed 70% of decolorization at 3 days in the state of putting MnSO4 1mM. But, rhodamine B has no significant differences about decolorization among different mixture ratio of Irpex lacteus with PVA, concentration of carbon, nitrogen and manganese sulfate.
