  • Strain for decomposing TMAH, and method of wastewater treatment using the same
    Patent number: 6770470
    Abstract: The present invention describes a wastewater treatment method by a microorganism decomposing Tetramethyl Ammonium Hydroxide (TMAH) which, utilized in etching the surface of silicone chip in semiconductor manufacturing process, is toxic and hard to decompose. The present invention provides novel microorganisms capable of decomposing TMAH. Also, the present invention provides a treatment method for wastewater containing TMAH, using the microorganisms. The present invention is useful in industrial field as an environmental friendly wastewater treatment method by decomposing over 90% of TMAH, one of environmental contamination materials in the wastewater of semiconductor factory.

  • Whitening cosmetics containing extracts from Ecklonia cava
    Publication number: 20020044915
    Abstract: Disclosed are whitening cosmetics containing extracts from Ecklonia cava. More specifically, Ecklonia cava which has been dried and crushed into powder, is immersed in a solvent, deposited to extract whitening materials, then, the materials are distilled under reduced pressure to obtain extracts from Ecklonia cava, which are added to whitening cosmetics. The whitening cosmetics containing the extracts from Ecklonia cava of the present invention exhibit excellent whitening effect because of strongly inhibiting tyrosinase activity.
