본 연구에서는 강화되는 황산화물 및 입자상물질의 배출규제를 만족시키기 위한 후처리장치로 습식전기집진기에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실험을 위해 선박용 중유(HFO, 황함유량 약 2.1%)를 연료로 사용하는 선박용 4행정 디젤엔진(STX-MAN B&W)을 활용 하였으며, 연돌에 설치된 습식전기집진기 입/출구에서 측정을 실시하였다. 미세먼지 측정을 위해서는 광학식 계측기(OPA-102) 및 중량농 도측정방식(Method 5 Isokinetic Train)을 이용하였으며, 황산화물 계측을 위해서는 FT-IR(DX-4000)을 사용하였다. 엔진부하는 50%, 75%, 100%로 변화시키면서 실험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과로, 엔진부하가 50%에서 100%로 변화함에 따라 미세먼지 저감 효율은 모든 부하 조건에서 94~98% 정도의 높은 저감 효율을 나타내었다. 추가적으로 습식전기집진기 퀜칭존에서 배기가스의 온도를 낮추는 과정 중 세정액에 의한 이산화황(SO2) 저감을 확인할 수 있었으며, 저감율은 엔진부하에 따라 55%~81%로 확인되었다.

제련 산업의 공정수(15wt% 폐산용액)에는 다양한 희소 및 유가금속이 함유되어 있지만, 회수 처리기술 부족으로 폐기되고 있다. 이에 나노분리막을 적용하여 폐산용액에 잔존하는 금속들을 경제적으로 분리하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 폐산에 적용 가능한 내산, 내열성을 가지는 나노분리막을 PSf 지지막 위에 수용액상으로 aliphatic amine과 유기상으로 trimesoyl chloride, diisocyanate계를 계면중합하여 제조하였다. 제조막의 2가 이온 플럭스는 15 GFD, 98%의 제거율, 1가 이온은 20% 이하의 제거율을 나타내었다. 내산성 평가는 황산 용액에 일별 노출한 후 투과평가를 진행하였으며, 그 결과 4주 이상 초기 성능을 유지하였다. 내산성 특성은 FTIR, XPS, FE-SEM등의 분석을 통해 확인하였다.

The objective of this experiment was to determine the effect of supplementation of hot melt extrusion (HME) processed Zn sulfate on growth performance, nutrients digestibility, small intestinal morphology and excretion of Zn in weanling pigs. A total of 200 piglets of mixed sex randomly allotted to four treatments on the basis of initial BW (7.15±0.81 kg). There were five replicates in each treatment with 10 pigs per replicate. The experimental treatments consisted of: 1) basal diet containing ZnSO4; 2) basal diet containing Zn-Methionine (ZnMet); 3) basal diet containing low level of nano-Zn as HME (ZnHME50); 4) basal diet containing medium level of nano-Zn as HME ZnSO4 (Zn-HME75). The average daily gain was improved by the ZnMet and ZnHME75 compared with the pigs fed ZnSO4 supplemented diets (p=0.009). Moreover, ZnHME75 and ZnMet affected on the ATTD of CP during phase 2 (p=0.014). The villus height (VH) was affected by increasing when pigs fed diets supplemented the ZnHME75 (P=0.044). The pigs fed diets supplemented ZnHME50 had significantly the lowest (p=0.037) Zn content in liver compared with other treatments. The Zn content in the feces was significantly higher (p<0.001) in ZnSO4 and ZnMet compared with ZnHME50 or ZnHME75. In conclusion, it could be concluded that dietary Zn can be reduced by 25% with ZnHME without any detrimental effect on performance of weanling pigs.

This study has implemented an experiment in which hydrogen sulfide was removed by establishing a two-stage packed tower effector filled with nutritious medium and also filling a tower that was immobilized in ceramic media after isolating and identifying the sulfur oxidizing bacteria from a sewage treatment plant. As a result, strains isolated from the sewage treatment plant were found to be similar, including Bacillus fusiformis, Bacillus anthracis sp., Paenibacillus sp., Serratia marcescens sp., Bacillus thuringiensis. The effector that immobilized isolated strains in the ceramic media achieved an approximately 90% removal rate of hydrogen sulfide, while the sterilized ceramic media not immobilized with isolated strains showed a removal rate of about 65%. In addition, the removal rate of hydrogen sulfide in the primary media packing effector immobilized with sulfur oxidizing bacteria was about 92%, while the secondary effector filled with medium had a hydrogen sulfide removal rate near 100%. In addition, 90% efficiency of removal was shown in conditions of EBCT 60s in the experiment that investigated removal rate of hydrogen sulfide according to residence-time, while the efficiency was rapidly reduced up to 45% in conditions of EBCT 30s. On the other hand, when operating for an extended period time while increasing the concentration of injected hydrogen sulfide, the amount of sulfate was increased from 2 mg/L to 12.7 mg/L, and pH was rapidly reduced to 2.7.

It has been well known that concrete structures exposed to chloride and sulfate attack environments lead to significant deterioration in their durability due to chloride ion and sulfate ion attack. The purpose of this experimental research is to evaluate the resistance against chloride ion and sulfate attack of the cementless concrete replacing the cement with ground granulated blast furnace slag. For this purpose, the cementless concrete specimens were made for water-binder ratios of 40%, 45%, and 50%, respectively and then this specimens were cured in the water of 20±3℃ and immersed in fresh water, 10% sodium sulfate solution for 28 and 91 days, respectively. To evaluate the resistance to chloride ion and sulfate attack for the cementless concrete specimens, the diffusion coefficient for chloride ion and compressive strength ratio, mass change ratio, and length change ratio were measured according to the NT BUILD 492 and JSTM C 7401, respectively. It was observed from the test results that the resistance against chloride ion and sulfate attack of the cemetntless concrete were comparatively largely increased than those of OPC concrete with decreasing water-binder ratio.

Perfluorinated sulfonic acid (PFSA) ionomers have been widely used as membranes in the fields of green power generation and electrolysis. In spite of their high ion-conducting properties, it is difficult to apply them in the freestanding membrane state to harsh operation conditions owing to their chemical and electrochemical degradation issues. A promising membrane concept to satisfy this purpose would be “pore-filling membrane” composed of PFSA ionomers and porous PTFE support films. In this study, the porous PTFE support film treated with a cheap hydrophilic polymer is used as a reinforced material. Interestingly, the resulting PFSA-PTFE pore-filling membranes exhibit an extremely high proton conductivity with a fairly reduced ionomer content, which may give a valuable information to design a desirable pore-filling membrane.

In this study, the growth kinetics of sulfur oxidizing bacteria, Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans, and the effect of dissolved oxygen were determined in low pH conditions for the effective removal of high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide. A dual growth kinetic was applied to identify the microbial growth rate at different hydrogen sulfide and oxygen concentrations in the liquid. A modified Monod-Gompertz equation was deemed most appropriate to examine the growth kinetic parameters of A. thiooxidans. The half saturation constants of hydrogen sulfide and oxygen for the modified Monod-Gompertz equation were found to be 0.9 and 1.1 mg/L, respectively. In addition, a bioreactor model, where the Monod-Gompertz equation was modified, was applied to simulate dissolved oxygen concentrations required for the removal of hydrogen sulfide. As a result, the dissolved oxygen concentrations were 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 3.3 mg/L, which were necessary to remove hydrogen sulfide to less than 10 ppm at the influent concentrations of 100, 500, 1000 and 3000 ppm, respectively. The required minimum dissolved oxygen concentrations under various conditions including reactor volume, gas retention time, and microbial concentrations can be determined using the numerical model developed in this study.

In this study, a cobalt sulfate ceramic coating was sintered on various clays at 1250˚C. The specimen characteristics were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), TG-DTA, UV-vis spectrophotometer, and HRDPM. The ceramic coating had a constant thickness of thousands μm, and the surface was confirmed to be densely fused. Other new compounds were produced by the cobalt sulfate sintering process and reactions. These compounds were a CoAl2O4 phase, Co2SiO4 phase, anorthite(CaAl2Si2O8) phase, and FeAl2O4 phase, respectively. UV properties of the coated specimen were investigated, celadon clay specimen in 530-550 nm band is showing a dark gray color. The white clay and white mix clay specimen in 460-500 nm band is showing a blue color. The cobalt-aluminate(CoAl2O4) spinel and the cobalt-silicate olivine(Co2SiO4) were the strongest of the ceramic pigments, producing a very pure, navy blue color.

황근 종자가 발아가 잘 안되는 이유를 알아보고자 종자의 활력여부를 확인하기 위해 TZ활력검사를 실시한바, 조직의 활력은 있음이 판명되었다. 활력이 있는 종자가 발아 안되는 이유를 알기 위하여 종피의 수분 흡수 장해를 검토하였고 그 결과 종피가 딱딱하여 종자내부로의 물 흡수가 어려운 것을 확인하였다. 물흡수를 원활하게 하기 위해 어떤 조처가 필요한가를 알기 위해 종피약화 및 발아촉진처리를 몇 가지 실시한 바 층적처리, 열탕처리, 종피파상처리 및 저온습윤처리 등의 방법은 효과가 크게 없었으며 황산처리가 가장 효과적이었다. 황산처리의 최적시간을 규명하고자 황산처리 시간을 달리하여 먼저 실내에서 발아시험을 실시한 결과 20분 처리가 치상 30일째 발아율 80% (무처리 12%), 발아속도 13 (무처리 1), 발아속도지수가 1,969 (무처리 183)로 나타나 발아에 가장 좋았다. 폿트시험에서도 실내시험과 같은 경향을 얻을 수 있었다. 황산20분 처리에서 어떤 이유로 발아가 잘 되는가를 확인하기 위해서 주사전자현미경(사진)으로 종자조직의 변화를 관찰하였다. 황산20분 처리는 종피약화도 시킬 수 없고 배꼽을 통한 수분흡수도 불가능 하지만(사진), 황근종자의 배꼽과 주공을 동시에 덮고 있는 hilum cap을 떨어져 나가게 하여 주공을 열수 있기 때문인 것으로 확신하였다. hilum cap이 떨어져 나가 주공이 열림으로써 수분흡수가 용이한지를 확인하기 위하여 수분흡수속도를 무처리와 비교하여 시간대별로 조사하였다. 황산20분 처리에서 빠른 속도로 수분흡수가 이루어짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 그래서 경실의 황근 종자는 황산20분 침지처리로 배꼽과 주공을 동시에 덮고 있는 hilum cap를 떨어져 나가게 해서 주공을 열리게 하고 이를 통한 수분흡수가 용이하기 때문에 발아가 잘 되는 것으로 결론지었다.

To compare the photocatalytic performances of titania for purification of waste water according to applied voltages and doping, TiO2 films were prepared in a 1.0 M H2SO4 solution containing NH4F at different anodic voltages. Chemical bonding states of F-N-codoped TiO2 were analyzed using surface X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The photocatalytic activity of the co-doped TiO2 films was analyzed by the degradation of aniline blue solution. Nanotubes were formed with thicknesses of 200-300 nm for the films anodized at 30 V, but porous morphology was generated with pores of 1-2 μm for the TiO2 anodized at 180 V. The phenomenon of spark discharge was initiated at about 98 V due to the breakdown of the oxide films in both solutions. XPS analysis revealed the spectra of F1s at 684.3 eV and N1s at 399.8 eV for the TiO2 anodized in the H2SO4-NH4F solution at 180 V, suggesting the incorporation of F and N species during anodization. Dye removal rates for the pure TiO2 anodized at 30 V and 180 V were found to be 14.0% and 38.9%, respectively, in the photocatalytic degradation test of the aniline blue solution for 200 min irradiation; the rates for the F-N-codoped TiO2 anodized at 30 V and 180 V were found to be 21.2% and 65.6%, respectively. From the results of diffuse reflectance absorption spectroscopy (DRS), it was found that the absorption edge of the F-N-codoped TiO2 films shifted toward the visible light region up to 412 nm, indicating that the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 is improved by appropriate doping of F and N by the addition of NH4F.
