Waste oyster shell is a waste product from oyster-culturing farm and also presents a major disposal problem in itself. The present study is conducted to develop equipments for recycling waste oyster shells etc. Through the processing of the recycling treatment of wasted marine products, it is transfered and used as the other functional materials. The advanced drying and crushing equipments are designed and conducted the performance evaluation. Finally, it was shown that performance of these are superior to that of the other existing equipments.

Styela clava tunic is generated in large amounts as a waste from S. clava processing plants and leads to environmental problems. It destroys the beach scenery and causes a bad smell and pollution by trashing on the seashore. Therefore, purpose of this study was to investigate antioxidant and antihypertensive activities of different solvent extracts from S. clava tunic for recycling of fishery waste. Antioxidant and antihypertensive activities of all extracts were concentration-dependent. Of extracts, hot water extract showed the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity with the lowest effective concentration (EC50) value (0.733 mg/ml). Chloroform extract exhibited the highest metal chelation activity with the lowest EC50 value (2.696 mg/ml). Autoclaved water extract showed the highest NO radical scavenging activity with the lowest EC50 value (0.491 mg/ml) and n-hexane extract showed the highest reducing power (A700=1.897 at 100 mg/ml). And n-butanol extract showed the highest SOD-like activity with the lowest EC50 value (19.116 mg/ml) and ACE inhibition activity with the lowest inhibitory concentration(IC50) value (0.149 mg/ml). These results indicate that extracts obtained from S. clava tunic may potential candidate to reduce diseases caused by various oxidative stresses and hypertension.

Styela clava tunic is generated in large amounts as a waste from S. clava processing plants and causes environmental problem. Although biological activities of S. clava were reported by many investigators, study on S. clava tunic was little. In this study, therefore, tyrosinase inhibition and antioxidative activities of extracts from S. clava tunic using different solvent were investigated for recycling of the fishery waste. Among extraction methods tested, autoclaved extraction (25.7%) and hot water extraction (18.2%) appeared to be effective for extraction. The highest total phenolic content was 46.6 mg/g in autoclaved extract while the highest flavonoid content was 23.0 mg/g in chloroform extract. All extracts possessed tyrosinase inhibition activity and the inhibition activity was concentration-dependent. Inhibition concentration (IC50) against tyrosinase activity was 0.36×104 mg/ml in ethanol extract, 0.11×103 mg/ml in acetone extract and 0.27 mg/ml in n-butanol extract. Among extracts tested, hot water and autoclaved extracts displayed higher antioxidative activity than organic solvent extracts. Therefore, our data suggest that extract from S. clava tunic may potential candidate for cosmetic product with whitening effect and medicine for diseases caused by various oxidative stresses.

수산폐기물을 방류기준에 맞추어 효과적으로 분리 처리하기 위하여, 고형물을 함유한 폐수로부터 고체와 액체를 분리해내는 전처리 공정이 필요하다. 또한, 전처리 공정효율이 극대화될수록 후속처리공정의 처리용량향상, 처리시설 규모축소, 경비절감 등의 효과도 커진다. 이를 위해 이 논문에서는 진동형 역경사식 스크린 기술을 제안하고, 최적의 고액분리를 위해 적정 진동주파수 및 기진각을 검출하였다. 진동발생기는 스크린 몸체에 대해 일정한 각도(0˚,30˚,45˚,90˚)로 각각 두었으며, 진동주파수는 진동에 의한 스크린의 손상을 고려하여 35-60Hz 범위 내에서 5Hz 단위로 가변하면서 고액분리효율을 측정하였다. 스크린 경사각은 예비실험을 통해 3˚~5˚로 설정하고, 여과장치는 직사각형과 정사각형 2종류로 제작하였다. 실험결과 장치의 형태와 관계없이 대체적으로 0˚의 기진각과 60Hz의 진동주파수에서 우수한 여과효율이 나타났다. 그리고 여과 전후의 부유물질(SS)의 양을 비교하여 제안한 기술의 유효성을 검증하였다.
