The study investigated a method of synthesizing a pitch suitable for making activated carbon using fluid catalytic crackingdecant oil (FCC-DO), a high-purity carbon precursor from oil refining. We kept the reaction time and catalyst amount constant while varying the temperature to investigate its impact on pitch synthesis and the resulting physical and activation properties. Previous research established that materials added during pitch synthesis can affect the properties of both the pitch and resulting activated carbon. This study examined the addition of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to FCC-DO-based pitch. The results indicated significant changes in properties with PET addition and temperature variation that ensured stable activated carbon quality. At temperatures of 390 °C or higher, the specific surface area of the activated carbon stabilized between 2680 and 2740 m2/ g. Waste PET, a recyclable plastic, was chosen due to its compatibility and thermodynamic suitability for pitch synthesis. Importantly, adding PET didn't generate additional waste or degrade the physical properties of the activated carbon.
It was found in this study that fluorinated microporous carbon aerogels with enhanced hydrophobicity could be successfully prepared by direct fluorination to separate water-in-oil emulsions at high flux. The fluorinated carbon aerogel (F-CA) surface treated by the fluorination method had a water contact angle of 151.2° and could immediately absorb oil. In addition, the unique network structure of F-CA and its hydrophobicity allow surfactant-stabilized water-in-oil emulsions to be effectively and simply separated under gravity without requiring external forces such as vacuum or pressurization. The network structure of F-CAs consists of randomly connected spherical particles that form fluorinated permeation channels, which induce high flux during emulsion separation. The F-CA spherical particles have nanosized pores and high hydrophobicity, which repel and trap water droplets to increase the separation purity. Therefore, F-CA exhibited excellent performance, such as high filtrate purity (up to 99.9954%) and flux (up to 11,710 L/m2h). Furthermore, F-CA reusability was demonstrated as it did not lose its hydrophobicity and maintained its performance even after repeated use. This type of aerogel has great potential to be utilized throughout various environmental fields, including oil remediation.
Silicon oxide (SiOx) has been considered one of the most promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries due to having a higher capacity than the commercial graphite anodes. However, its practical application is hampered by very large volume variations. In this work, pyrolysis fuel oil is the carbon coating precursor, and physical vapor deposition (PVD) is performed on SiOx at 200 and 400 °C (SiOx@C 200 and SiOx@C 400), followed by carbonization at 950 °C. SiOx@C 200 has a carbon coating layer with a thickness of ~ 20 nm and an amorphous structure, while that of SiOx@C 400 is approximately 10 nm thick and has a more semigraphitic structure. The carbon-coated SiOx anodes display better charge–discharge performance than the pristine SiOx anode. In particular, SiOx@C 200 shows the highest reversible capacity compared with the other samples at high C-rates (2.0 and 5.0 C). Moreover, SiOx@C 200 exhibits excellent cycling stability with a capacity retention of 90.2% after 80 cycles at 1.0 C. This result is ascribed to the suppressed volume expansion by the PFO carbon coating on SiOx after PVD.

Asphaltenes 분포가 적은 저유황연료유에 고유황연료유를 혼합함에 따라, Saturates분포는 68.8 %까지 감소하고, Asphaltenes분포는 1,417 %까지 크게 증가하였다.
This study was carried out to produce stable evening primrose oil in water emulsion by using various emulsifier with HLB (8.6, 12, 16.7), concentration (0-45%) and emulsification methods such as high-speed emulsification (7,000 rpm, 2 min) and high-pressure homogenization (10,000 psi, 1 cycle). And then properties of evening primrose oil in water emulsion was evaluated with keeping at room temperature and 40oC during 28 days. Lower HLB 8.6 and high viscosity emulsifier added emulsions were not appropriate for high-pressure homogenization and were separated in a day. The optimum emulsification condition was HLB 12 and high-pressure homogenization (10,000 psi, 1 cycle) for evening primrose oil in water emulsion. These emulsions produced by optimum condition were not separated with the aqueous phase and the oil phase and they were nano-sized around 200 nm, higher zeta-potential (±mV), mono-polydispersed (<0.3), and less oxidized (<0.4) during 28 days.
비식용 원료인 Palm Acid Oil, 동물성 폐유지 등은 상대적으로 자유 지방산 함량이 높기 때문에 일반적인 염기 촉매를 이용한 전이에스테르화 반응에 적합하지 않다. 효소 촉매를 이용하면 염기 촉매에서 해결할 수 없는 몇 가지 문제를 해결할 수 있으며, 에너지 소비가 작고, 바이오디젤 부산물인 글리세롤 회수가 쉬우며, 자유 지방산 함량이 높은 트리글리세라이드에 대한 전이에스테르화 반응이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 고정화 효소 촉매를 이용하여 1 ton/day 용량의 반응기에서 비식용 폐유지를 바이오디젤로 합성하였으며, 반응 공정의 변수를 최적화하였다.
원유나 벙커C유와 같은 지속성 기름이 해상에 유출되면 풍화과정을 거쳐 점도가 높아지고, 부유 쓰레기와 섞이게 되면 이를 수거할 수 있는 장비는 매우 제한적이다. 본 연구에서는 기존 유회수기의 외부에 위치한 부속장치들을 본체 내부로 배치하고, 컨베이어 벨트와 강제유입장치인 스위퍼 및 부력체를 탑재한 수집조로 구성하여 자항과 리모트컨트롤이 가능한 무인 컨베이어 벨트식 부유쓰레기 및 고점도유 회수장비를 개발하였다. 실해역 테스트에서 30 m의 거리를 1.2 knots의 속도로 자항하며, 전 후, 좌 우에서 안정적인 균형유지와 구동부의 정상작동을 확인하였다. 임시저장조를 이용한 유회수 성능테스트 결과, 최소 7.8 ㎘/h에서 최대 23.3 ㎘/h까지 유출유 회수가 가능하였다. 또한, 페트병 등 부유쓰레기와 유출된 기름이 혼합된 조파수조에서 실시한 회수량 측정 테스트 결과는 7.7 ㎘/h로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 개발된 장비가 해상기름오염사고 시 현장에 신속하게 투입된다면 방제능력 향상에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대하며, 현재 운용중인 Portable 유회수기의 성능개선 연구에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of weighting agent (WA) and high pressure homogenization (HPH) on the stability of water-in-oil-in-water double emulsion (DE). To prepare oil phase (O), olive oil, glycerol ester of wood rosin (WA; variable 1), and polyglycerol polyricinoleate (lipophilic emulsifier), and for interior water phase (W1), deionized water, gelatin, sodium chloride, ascorbic acid, and green tea extract(core material) were mixed and heated. When temperature of O and W1 reached up to 60℃, W1 was dispersed into O dropwisely followed by magnetic stirring at 1500 rpm for 2 min (O:W1=3:1). By applying homogenization at 4000 rpm for 2 min followed by ultrasonication for 4 min, water-in-oil primary emulsion (PE) was produced. And resting PE at 4℃ for 30 min was followed. For exterior water phase (W2), deionized water, sodium chloride, ascorbic acid, and polysorbate 80 (hydrophilic emulsifier) were mixed. When temperature of PE reached at room temperature (24 ± 2℃), PE was dispersed into W2 dropwisely followed by magnetic stirring at 1500 rpm for 15 min (PE:W2=1:3). By applying ultrasonication for 2 min followed by HPH at 500 bar for 1 to 3 times (variable 2), DE was produced. When DE was freshly produced, phase separation occurred at different period of time depending on whether variable 1 and 2 were applied or not (from 5 min to more than a day). The structure of DE was observed through optical and transmission electron microscopy. And relationship between the mean size of oil droplets and the occurring time of phase separation was studied. DE can be used as an appropriate delivery system for co-loading both hydrophilic and lipophilic bioactive compounds simultaneously, and promoting industrialization as well by applying it to food products, for example, beverage.
본 연구에서는 초임계 CO2 추출법을 이용하여 공정변수가 대두유의 수율에 미치는 영향과 초고압 처리가 초임계 추출에 미치는 영향에 대하여 분석하였다. RSM 실험법을 통한 최적화 실험에서 468.18 bar, 80.23oC, 46.82 g/min의 조건에서 최대값 25.88%를 나타내었다. 초임계 추출법의 최적추출조건에서 초고압 전처리 후 추출 수율은 17.15-23.66%로 전처리 전보다 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 462.13MPa, 1분의 추출조건에서 정상점은 최대값으로 24.91%가 예측되었다. 초고압 전처리 후 초임계 추출에서 수율이 증가하지 않은 이유는 초고압 전처리시 입자의 뭉침현상이 일어나 평균입자크기가 증가하여 나타난 현상으로 추론하였다. 결과적으로 초고압 전처리는 초임계 추출 수율 증가에 영향을 미치지 못하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 초임계 CO2 추출법을 이용하여 대두유를 추출할 경우 추출 압력, 유량이 높을수록 추출온도가 낮을수록 더 많은 양의 대두유를 추출할 수 있다.
Transparent liquid crystal gels with high oil content by fatty acid soap were investigated. The solubilization efficiency of the mineral oil was dependent on the process. The process of dropping water part into the solution of oil and surfactant was more efficient than the process of dropping water part into the surfactant solution and after that dropping oil. The fatty acid soap could not solubilize the high oil content, but under the certain range, addition of CDE (Coconut Diethanolamide), Arlacel 165 (Glyceryl Stearate/PEG-100 Stearate) and cetostearyl alcohol helped solubilize the high content oil. Also, the glycerin and water content had influence on the solubilization. Especially, higher oil content gel showed elastic feature.
유기용매와 초임계유체를 사용하여 대두분말에서 지방성분을 추출하는 공정에서 분말화공정(분쇄)의 시간의 변화에 따른 입자도와 초고압처리에 의한 추출속도를 측정하였다. 대두분말의 입자가 작을수록 추출속도가 향상되었으면 이는 입자의 크기가 작아짐에 따라 전체적인 표면적이 증가하여 고-액추출에서 중요한 반응기작인 물질전달속도를 증가시켰기 때문이라 판단된다. 초고압공정을 적용 시 동일한 입자크기에서 추출속도가 현저히 향상되었으며 이는 대두분말 내부에서 발생하는 확산현상에 대한 저항이 초고압상태에서의 변화로 감소되었기 때문이라 사료된다. 초임계유출에 의한 추출은 수율이 낮은 단점이 있으나 입자의 크기가 큰 상태에서는 초고압처리를 전처리로 사용할 경우 시간당 추출량을 상당부분 증가시킬 수 있음을 보여주었으나, 입자크기가 작을 경우 초고압처리가 영향을 미치지 못함을 보여주었다.
In this study, We investigated the properites of nano-emulsions containing hydrogenated lecithin prepared by high pressure homogenizer. The size of droplet of emulsions prepared by homogenizer at various rpm (rotation per minute) was not measured due to the unstability of emulsions, however, the size of droplet of nano-emulsions prepared by high pressure homogenizer was around 300 nm and the appearance of emulsions was bluish. The stability of emulsions with various lecithin concentration was tested against time. POV (Peroxide value) of emulsions were plotted against time. POVs of emulsions prepared with an egg lecithin and a soy lecithin were increased with time, however, POV of emulsion with Lecinol S-10® was kept constant within 60 hours and at 60℃. In consumer test, the nano-emulsion showed higher affinity regardless of skin type. Both of irritation scores of emulsions were similar.
: In this experiment, three samples of oils were used. These oils were hydrated soybean oil, pure soybean oil and regular soybean oil. Oil was used after heating at 235-240℃ every four hours term and total heating hours was 16 hours. The physio-chemical analysis and sensory evaluation were performed on these oils. The hydrated soybean oil showed lower acid, peroxide and carbonyl value than the other two oils (p〈0.05 or p〈0.001). The other two oils were more affected in rancidity than the hydrated soybean oil. In color test, whereas L value lowed during the heating time, a and b value increased during the heating time. The tendency of high L value and low b value in a long-time heating was more apparant on the pure soybean oil and the regular soybean oil than on the hydrated soybean oil (p〈0.05). In sensory evaluation, color and rancidity order increased during the heating time. The hydrated soybean oil showed color and rancidity order than the other two oils. In overall quality test, the pure and regular soybean oil that had been used for 12 and 16 hour were not preferable. The hydrated soybean oil that had been used for 16 hour were not preferable. In sensory evaluation, the hydrated soybean oil, the pure and regular soybean oil did not show a apparent difference, although the hydrated soybean oil had a little better scores on the overall quality.
New product line with additional secondary operation of oil pump rotor was built in necessity of increasing capacity. This new line includes steam treatment process after sizing. The new line achieved 1.6 times higher performance compared with a conventional line.
The purpose of this study was to develop a functional and valuable dairy product with high conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) content through a fermentation method utilizing vegetable oil and probiotic lactic acid bacteria. Bifidobacterium breve KCTC 3419 was selected as a standard strain for high efficiency conversion of the CLA c9,t11. This standard strain was mixed in a definite ratio of 4:3:3 with Lactobacillus sakei LJ011 isolated from kimchi and the commercially available YF-L812 culture to generate a high-efficiency CLA conversion starter stock for use in fermented milk production. CLA conversion by safflower seed oil fermentation by the starter stock yielded the highest CLA containing fermented milk. The pH level, titratable acidity, and number of lactic acid bacteria in the fermented milk were altered to suitable levels during the fermented milk production process. The CLA content of CLA-fermented milk was maintained at 0.1% of the total CLA content during the storage period of 2 weeks.
