이 연구에서는 선행연구의 녹차-목재섬유 복합보드에 부가하여, 목제품 생산 후 발생하는 부산물인 편백나무 톱밥의 효율적인 이용과 건축내장재로의 응용을 목표로 목재섬유와 편백톱밥 및 녹차를 혼합한 복합보드를 제조하여 동적탄성률에 미치는 톱밥 및 녹차 배합비율의 영향 및 동적탄성률로부터 정적 휨강도성능의 예측가능성을 평가하였다. 목재섬유-톱밥-녹차 복합보드의 동적탄성률은 1.41~1.65 GPa의 범위에 있었고, 목재섬유: 톱밥: 녹차의 배합비율 50 : 40 : 10에서 가장 높은 값을 나타내었다. 이 값은 정적 휨 탄성계수의 1.4~1.6배의 높은 값을 나타내었고, 녹차-목재섬유복합보드보다 2.0~2.9배 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 동적탄성률과 정적 휨 강도성능과의 상관회귀에서는 일부 예외를 제외하고 대부분 매우 높은 상관계수가 확인되어, 양단자유 휨 진동에 의한 동적탄성률로부터 정적 휨강도성능의 예측이 비파괴적으로 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

House dust mite (HDM) allergens have been associated with allergic diseases, such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis. Various acaricidal agents have been suggested for control of house dust mites; however, their remains act as allergens even after death. Therefore, for avoidance of allergen, expelling the mites is a more effective policy than killing them. In this experiment, we compared the repellent effect of two essential oils (Matricaria chamomilla, Lavandula vera) against house dust mites, Dermatophagoids farinae and D. pteronyssinus in bed fabric. The essential oils were applied by direct contact method at various doses (0.1, 0.05, 0.025, 0.0125, and 0.00625 μl/cm2 and at various exposure times (30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 min). Results of this experiment suggest that the two oils have significant repellent activity. Camomile essential oil in 0.0125 μl/cm2 at 240 minutes had a repellent effect of 93.7% and lavender essential oil in 0.05 μl/cm2 at 180 minutes had a repellent effect of 88.9%. The results of this study showed that camomile essential oil has more potent repellent activity than lavender essential oil at a particular concentration.

This study examined into property of flour dust explosion to get the basic data for safety of industry by protecting accident of dust explosion. The experiment was conducted to know the effect of distance between explodes in the experiment device, effect of flour dust concentration, effect of humidity, effect of explosion pressure to the dust concentration and effect of inactive substance additive. The study indicated that explosion was happened effectively at the optimum distance 100mm or less in inter-polar distance, and minimum ignition energy was measured at 6mm. The data of feed concentration to the probability of explosion showed that the smaller the particle diameter was, the larger probability of explosion was, and the higher the dust concentration was, the more increased the pressure of explosion was, but more than upper limit of dust concentration, then the explosion of pressure decreased. For the effect of humidity, the more it contained water, the more decreased the ignition energy of dust was, so increased minimum explosive concentration, and effective water content was minimum 10% or more. Inactive substance additive was effective in adding more than 15% CaCO3 and CaO as substance inhibiting dust explosion, in which CaCO3 was more effective than CaO. the analysis of the flame of dust explosion was performed by high-speed video camera, it showed the size of flame bacame smaller in order that sub feed, main feed, wheat powder. As a result, sub feed was expected to be less dangerous than others.

In order to meet the national standard and public needs for Seoul Metro subway, air purification has been taken into a consistent consideration with the addition of high quality control facilities. This work focuses on the review of the cost effectiveness to improve the air filtration of an MVAC (mechanical ventilation & air conditioning) in a field subway. The inflow PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 into the test MVAC chamber were 19.4 kg/yr and 8.9 kg/yr respectively. It corresponds to the environmental cost of 5,857,000 won for PM₁₀ and 6,608,000 won for PM_2.5 every year. While the current filtration system collects approximately 55% of the inlet PM₁₀ and 35% of PM_2.5, a new lay-out showed 80% for PM₁₀ and 55% for PM_2.5. The new design presented the environmental benefit for PM10 with 1,464,000 won, whilst the additional cost required 3,192,744 won. In the future, however, the increase of environmental benefits for the indoor dust over the atmospheric aerosols will more or less compensate the potential cost.

2002년부터 2010년까지 봄에 관측된 황사는 모두 66회였다. 월별로 보면, 3월에 26회, 4월에 23회, 5월에 17회로 5월의 황사는 3, 4월에 비해 드문 현상이다. 2010년 5월 22일부터 25일까지 동아시아에 나타난 황사는 발원하여 이동하면서 한반도를 비껴 일본으로 갔다. 이 황사는 22일 몽골 및 중국 북부지역에서 강한 저기압이 발달하면서 그 후면을 따라 남동진 하였고, 3일 뒤인 25일 일본에서 황사가 관측되었다. 본 연구에서는 사례기간의 종관기상 분석, 기류의 이동 방향, 위성을 이용한 황사의 수평 분포 등을 분석하였다. 그 결과 남중국해에서 발달한 저기압이 북상하면서 그 중심이 한반도 가장자리에 위치하였기 때문에 중국 내륙으로 내려온 황사는 저기압성 기류를 따라 한반도를 돌아 일본으로 이동한 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 기류의 흐름은 850 hPa면의 바람벡터와 풍속장 분석 및 1000 hPa면의 상대습도 분포에서도 나타났다. 300 hPa 일기도상에서 제트기류는 몽골 서쪽 부근에서 남동진하여 몽골 내륙으로 사행하였다. 이후 이 기류의 영향으로 지상에서 한반도에 저기압이 발달하였는데 이는 황사가 한반도를 돌아 일본으로 이동한 결정적인 흐름이었다. 72시간의 후방공기궤적 분석결과, 일본에서 맨눈으로 관측된 곳의 기류는 모두 중국 산동반도와 동중국해에서 유입된 것으로 나타났다. 황사의 수평분포 결과, MODIS 위성의 RGB 영상에서 5월 24일에는 중국 산둥반도와 동중국해, 일본 규슈지역 남서쪽에서 황사가 탐지되었고, 5월 25일에는 동중국해와 일본 남해지역으로 황사가 이동되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 지금까지의 황사 연구는 우리나라에 영향을 미치는 황사의 발원지나 황사의 이동 경로 또는 에어러솔의 특성에 대한 연구가 대부분이지만, 이후 본 연구에서 분석된 사례와 같은 황사가 발생했을 경우 황사예보에 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구에서는 한반도 황사 사례 동안 WRF 기상모델과 SMOKE 배출량모델, CMAQ 및 CMAQ-MADRID 대기질 모델을 이용하여 다양한 황사 발생량 경험식에 대한 PM10의 농도를 추정하였다. 특별히 Wang et al.(2000), US EPA 모델, Park and In(2003), GOCART 모델, DEAD 모델의 5가지 황사 발생 경험식이 중국과 몽골 등의 황사 발생량을 추정하기 위해 WRF-SMOKE-CMAQ(MADRID) 모델에 적용되었다. 일기도, 후방궤적 및 위성이미지 분석에 따르면 한반도로의 황사 수송은 절리저기압(위성에서 콤마형 구름)과 관련된 지상 전선의 뒤쪽에서, 그리고 상층 제트류의 발달에 기인한 파의 정체현상과 함께 상층 골에서의 풍속이 하층으로 전이되는 풍하 바람에 의해 생성되었다. 그리고 WRF-SMOKE-CMAQ 모델링 결과, 황사의 시 공간적 분포에 있어서는 Wang et al.(2000)의 경험식이, 평균 편의 및 평균 제곱근 오차에서의 정확도 부분에서는 GOCART 모델의 경험식이 관측값을 보다 잘 모사하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 Wang et al.의 경험식을 이용한 황사의 연직분포 분석 결과에서 강한 황사 사례(2007년 3월 31에서 4월 1일 800 μg/m3 이상)의 경우는 황사 수송이 한반도 상공 대기 경계층 내를 통과하였기 때문으로, 약한 황사 사례(2009년 3월 16일과 17에 400 μg/m3 이하)의 경우는 황사 수송이 경계층 위를 통과하였기 때문으로 나타났다. 또한 CMAQ 모델과 CAMQ-MADRID 모델에서의 미세먼지(PM10) 민감도 분석 결과에서는 CMAQ-MADRID 모델이 CMAQ 모델에 비해 한반도를 포함한 동아시아 지역에서 최대 25 μg/m3 정도가 높게 모사되었고, 모델 내 구름 액상과정에 의해서는 최대 15 μg/m3 정도가 제거되는 것으로 나타났다.

The processes for the preparation of ZnO powder by using EAF(electric arc furnace)dust was studied by wetting method which are divided to two steps, carried out of the elution processes by various concentrations of sulfuric acid is reacted with EAF dust as the former, and the latter were performed by a number of specified processes, which are leaching process depends on various pH, cementation, ozone and heat treatment processes etc. Experimental results showed that the appropriate pH range is pH7.5~8.0 and the resulting zinc content is range of 37~38%, the residual quantities of the heavy metals are less than 3ppm individually by cementation process except Mn, even though the Mn metal could not be removed by cementation process but was removed up to 0.2ppm by the ozone process from 70ppm initially. Finally, 80.2% of ZnO was obtained by the heat treatment at 500℃.

In order to make high-purity ferro-manganese from Mn3O4 waste dust, the application of aluminothermite process to the reduction of the waste dust was investigated. The mixture from Mn3O4 dust as metallic source and Al metal powder as the reductant ignited, and reduced with an extremely intense exothermic reaction. The rapid propagation of the aluminothermite reaction occurred spontaneously and stably by ignition of the mixture. The Manganese having some alloy elements emerged as liquids due to the high temperatures reached up to about 2,500℃ and separated from the liquid by their differences of specific gravity. The result of thermite reaction showed the fact that can be obtained high purity ferro-manganese which have over about 90% of manganese content and lower impurities such as C, P, S than those of KS D3712 specification. The recovery of manganese from Mn3O4 dust was lower level of about 65% than about 75% from manganese ore by electric furnace process, that is due to spatter loss because of its extremely intense thermite reaction. But it will be improved by the process designed to provide CaO as the cooler or to use the Al metal powder having larger particle size distribution.

In the industrial site of 21st century, there are many and various powders of material, product and fuel of coal, chemical, detergent, paint, feed and more. Therefore, there always is a possible danger of dust explosion in each and every procedure and actually, there are increasing frequency of dust explosion as the use of dust and its amount increases in processes. Therefore, if we leave the current status like now, the unexpected massive dust explosion and its risk cannot be effectively prevented so there has to be effective application of understanding and development of explosion-prevention technology about dust explosion. Therefore, this research set the limit of research to systematically arrange the research results about dust explosion phenomenon and its prevention up to date and has its purpose to theoretically establish the prevention technology about dust explosion based on these theories.

We model dust around Herbig Ae/Be stars using a radiative transfer model for multiple isothermal circumstellar dust shells to reproduce the multiple broad peaks in their spectral energy distributions (SEDs). Using the opacity functions for various types of dust grains at different temperatures, we calculate the radiative transfer model SEDs for multiple dust shells. For eight sample stars, we compare the model results with the observed SEDs including the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) and AKARI data. We present model parameters for the best fit model SEDs that would be helpful to understand the overall structure of dust envelopes around Herbig Ae/Be stars. We find that at least four separate dust components are required to reproduce the observed SEDs. For all the sample stars, two innermost dust components (a hot component of 1000-1500 K and a warm component of 300-600 K) with amorphous silicate and carbon grains are needed. Crystalline dust grains (corundum, forsterite, olivine, and water ice) are needed for some objects. Some crystalline dust grains exist in cold regions as well as in hot inner shells.

We developed an efficient Monte-Carlo algorithm to solve dust-scattering radiative transfer problems for continuum radiation. The method calculates the scattered intensities for various anisotropic factors ( gi) all at once, while actual photon packets are tracked following a scattering phase function given by a single anisotropic factor ( g0). The algorithm was tested by applying the method to a dust cloud embedding a star at the cloud center and found to provide accurate results within the statistical fluctuation that is intrinsic in Monte-Carlo simulations. It was found that adopting g0 = 0.4 - 0.5 in the algorithm is most efficient. The method would be efficient in estimating the anisotropic factor of the interstellar dust by comparing the observed data with radiative transfer models.

The effects of improved aeration in saw dust bag cultivation on the Lentinula edodes hyphal growth were measured by CO2 concentration within the bags, the hyphal growth and bag weight loss. The aeration of the bags was controlled with 10 kinds of pore sizes of the lid and with pores on one side only or both side on the lid. In the conventional bags with a cotton plug CO2 concentration was 3.83%, the hyphal growth 2.25 ㎜/day and bag weight loss 0.84g, while in the bags with a lid 20.4㎜ diameter pore the CO2 concentration was 4.00%, the hyphal growth 2.68㎜/day and bag weight loss 1.3g. The bag with a lid pored on both top and bottom side was lower in CO2 concentration by 0.50%, higher hyphal growth rate by 0.04 ㎜/day and lower weight loss by 0.26g than the bag with a lid pored bottom side only. We concluded that the most effective lid for bag cultivation of L. edodes was the one with 20.4㎜ pores on both side of the lid.

Elution effect was studied by the reactions between Electric arc furnace(EAF)dust and conc. or dil. sulfuric acid for the purpose of recoverying of the useful metals afterwards. The methods of mixing with acids and EAF dust for the elutions were depend on the ratios of acid/EAF dust. Experimental results showed that increased the ratios of sulfuric acids, decreased the elution effects are on the Zn, Fe and Mn, and conc. sulfuric acid showed higher elution effects than dil. sulfuric acids for the all metals. But in case of Pb, dil. sulfuric acid showed higher elution effects than conc. sulfuric acids conversely. Furthermore, the reason of the extreamly low quantities of eluted Pb is caused by the low solubilities by sulfuric acids compared to the other metals, as the results of the insoluble Pb is removed by the process of filtering.
