In this research, the optimal manufacturing conditions of fine Si powders from Si scrap were investigated as a function of different initial powder size using the high-energy ball milling equipment, which produces the fine powder by means of an ultra high-energy within a short duration. The morphological change of the powders according to the milling time was observed by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). With the increasing milling time, the size of Si powder was decreased. In addition, more energy and stress for milling were required with the decreasing initial powder size. The refinement of Si scrap was rapidly carried out at 10min ball milling time. However, the refined powder started to agglomerate at 30 min milling time, while the powder size became uniform at 60 min milling time.

Nowadays, Tra catfish fat is given attention as an appropriate material for biodiesel production in Vietnam. The aim of this work is to investigate the optimal conditions of refining biodiesel and recovering glycerin by the transesterification from Tra catfish fat using KOH catalyst. As our results, the yield of transesterification was achieved to 94.17% at 50℃ for 45 min with 6:1 molar ratio of methanol to fat in the presence of 0.8% KOH catalyst, and wherein the biodiesel was refined by washing with distilled water at 70℃ and dried in a microwave oven. The yield of raw glycerin recoveries from the transesterification process was 78.58%. The purity of raw glycerin was 84.14% by the conditions of neutralization state with H3PO4 solution (pH = 5), 70℃, and 60 min. Activated carbon (3.0 wt.%) was used for the bleaching process at 80℃ for 20 min. The biodiesel was obtained in accordance with for ASTM D 6751 (biodiesel standard). The ash and water of raw glycerins were 7.32 and 8.01%, respectively, and implied that the raw glycerin is very promising candidate to be used as a raw material for textile and cosmetic industries.

This study was carried out to determine the pesticide residues in rice bran, crude rice bran oil and the oil of various stages of refining process. Each samples were analyzed for 41 pesticide residues by multiclass multiresidue methods with GC-ECD, NPD and identified by GC-MSD. Rice bran were detected cypermethrin, diazinon, dichlofluanid, and its level were ranged from 0.01-0.122 ppm. Crude rice bran oil were detected cypermethrin, diazinon, dichlofluanid, dimethoate, etrimfos, flucythrinate, and its level were ranged from 0.015-0.654 ppm. Crude rice bran oil has the higher level of pesticide residues and more varieties of pesticides than rice bran. But pesticide residues in the crude rice bran oil was found to be almost removed when pigment was decolorized by absorption using active carbon and clealy removed by thermolysis for deodorization.

전해제련 공정은 수용액 전해조에 전극을 담그고 일정한 전류 혹은 전압을 가하여 수용액 속의 이온을 금속으로 추출하는 공정으로, 제조 경비 중 전력비 비중이 높은 대표적인 에너지 다소비산업이다. 대표적 전해제련 생산품인 아연은 최근 국제가격 하향안정화 추세로 국내기업의 글로벌 시장경쟁력 악화가 예상되며 이에 따른 가격 경쟁력 확보 필요성이 증가되고 있다. 아연 가격 경쟁력 확보를 위하여 아연 생산원가의 24~26%(400~440천원/톤)에 해당하는 전력비용 절감 가능한 기술 개발이 시급하며, 이는 에너지 절감 및 온실가스 저감 문제 대응이 동시에 가능하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 아연제련 시 과다한 전력비용과 단수명이 문제 되는 1세대 양극(Pb 전극)의 단점을 해결할 뿐만 아니라 전극 및 전기화학 시스템을 개발 적용하여 소비전력을 절감 할 수 있는 방안을 모색하였다.
