본 연구에서는 배가스 내 존재하는 오염물질인 NO의 처리효율을 증대시키기 위하여 NO 산화 공정을 연구하였으며, 강력한 산화력의 건식산화제를 제조하는 방법으로 H2O2 촉매분해가 도입되었다. H2O2 분해공정 상에서 적용 가능한 K-Mn/Fe2O3 불균일계 촉매가 제조되었으며, 이들이 가지는 물리화학 적 특성이 H2O2 분해반응에 미치는 영향이 조사되었다. 제조된 건식산화제는 NO가 포함된 모사 배가스를 처리하기 위한 NO 산화공정에 적용되었으며, 다양한 모사 배가스의 유량(5, 10, 20 L/min)에서 약 100% 가까운 NO 전환율을 확인 하였다.

본 연구에서는 촉매 상 H2O2 전환에 의해 건식산화제가 생성되었으며, 이를 이용한 NO 산 화 공정에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 건식산화제를 생성하기 위한 H2O2 촉매 전환에 관한 실험을 수행 한 결과, Mn계 촉매의 성능이 가장 우수하였으며, 이를 통해 생성된 건식산화제를 NO 산화공정에 주 입하여 다양한 운전조건에서 NO 산화특성을 조사하였다. 그 결과, H2O2 주입량, 산화반응온도, 그리고 공간속도가 NO 산화율에 크게 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고, 산화반응온도와 H2O2 주입량 이 증가할수록 NO 산화효율이 증가하였으며, 공간속도가 증가할수록 NO 산화효율이 감소하였다.

Hericium erinaceus is considered a functional food and potential medicinal source. The present study was conducted to examine the potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of carried out with water and ethanol extracts of Hericium erinaceus grown on germinated green rice (HEGR-W and HEGR-E, respectively) and the water and ethanol extracts of germinated green rice (GR-W and GR-E, respectively) as potential medicinal resources or antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents. Methods and Results: The total phenolic and flavonoid contents, DPPH, and ABTS activity, reducing power, DNA protective activity, cell viability, and NO production were investigated. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents were highest in HEGR-E (66.53 ± 2.40 ㎎·GAE/100 g and 82.12 ± 7.10 ㎎·CE/100 g respectively). HEGR-E exhibited high DPPH (44.70 ± 1.28%) and, ABTS (44.70 ± 1.28%) activity and reducing power (0.219). HEGR and GR extracts showed protective activity against DNA damage. The cytotoxicity of HEGR and GR in RAW264.7 cells and LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells was low. HEGR-E and GR-W exhibited anti-inflammatory effects through a 28% inhibition of NO production in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. Conclusions: These results suggested that the extracts of Hericium erinaceus grown on germinated green rice could be a potential medicinal material with natural antioxidant and NO inhibitory properties.

In the present study, we investigated biological activities of Rosa davurica Pall. leaves in order to evaluate thepossibility as a natural biomaterial. The 80% ethanol extract and its subsequent fractions of Rosa davurica Pall. leaves wereprepared using several solvents with different polarities. The extraction yield was 33.4, 36.6, 25.2, 18.7, 5.8 and 5.8% in etha-nol extract, aqueous, butanol, ethyl acetate, n-hexane, chloroform fractions, respectively. The ethyl acetate fraction(661.38㎎/g), butanol fraction (396.68㎎/g) and 80% ethanolic extract (239.54㎎/g) has higher total polyphenol contentsthan other fractions. The antioxidant activity was detected in ethanolic extract, ethyl acetate and butanol fractions. Theethyl acetate fraction showed the highest levels of DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC50, 4.77㎍/㎖). Moreover, the ethylacetate fraction significantly inhibited production of NO in LPS-stimulated macrophage RAW 264.7 cells without cytotoxic-ity. These results indicate that 80% ethanol extract and its fractions of Rosa davurica Pall. leaf, especially ethyl acetate frac-tion, have the properties of anti-oxidant and anti-inflammation, suggesting leaf of Rosa davurica Pall. may be a candidate fornatural and functional materials.

In this study, the fundamental experiments were performed for catalytic oxidation of NO (50 ppm) on MnO2 in the presence of ozone. The experiments were carried out at various catalytic temperatures (30-120℃) and ozone concentrations (50-150 ppm) to investigate the behavior of NO oxidation. The honeycomb type MnO2 catalyst was rectangular with a cell density of 300 cells per squuare inch. Due to O3 injection, NO reacted with O3 to form NO2, which was adsorbed at the MnO2 surface. The excessive ozone was decomposed to O* onto the MnO2 catalyst bed, and then that O* was reacted with NO2 to form NO3-. It was found that the optimal O3/NO ratio for catalytic oxidation of NO on MnO2 was 2.0, and the NO removal efficiency on MnO2 was 83% at 30℃. As a result, NO was converted mainly to NO3-.
