콘크리트 구조물은 일반적으로 동결융해 작용을 받는 조건에 노출되고, 이러한 동결융해작용은 콘크리트의 공극구조를 변화시키고, 콘크리트의 내구성을 저하시킬 우려가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 동결융해작용에 의한 콘크리트 내부공극구조 변화와 동결융해작용을 받은 콘크리트의 내구특성을 평가하고자 하였다. 실험결과, 기존의 동결융해 평가기법에 따르면 모든 배합에서 우수한 내구성능을 나타내었으나, 동결융해 작용에 노출됨에 따라 50~100nm 크기의 공극이 크게 증가하며, 콘크리트 염화물침투저항성이 저하하였다. 수중양생 콘크리트의 공극구조와 염화물 침투저항성은 선형관계를 보이지만, 동결융해작용을 받으면 내부공극구조의 변화로 선형관계가 저하하였다. 동결융해작용과 염화물침투를 동시에 받는 구조물의 내구성 평가기준에 대한 재검토가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this work is to study the adsorption and desorption characteristics of acetone vapor and toluene vapor from adsorption tower in the VOCs recovery device. The six kinds of activated carbon with different pore structures were used and the adsorption and desorption characteristics were compared according to pore structure, desorption temperature, and adsorption method, respectively. Adsorption capacity of acetone vapor and toluene vapor by batch method was higher than that by dynamic method. Especially, activated carbon with medium-sized or large pores had more difference in adsorption capacity according to adsorption methods as a result of gradually condensation of vapors on relatively mesopore and large pores. Activated carbons with relatively large pores and relatively small saturated adsorption capacity had excellent desorption ability.

Activated carbons were prepared from Korean coal by steam activation in this study. The variation of pore structure of the activated carbons were investigated according to different carbonization temperatures. Yield, surface area, pore volume and pore structure of this activated carbon were compared with those of activated carbon prepared without carbonization. The investigated carbonization temperature ranged from 700℃ to 1,000℃. Carbonization was carried out in nitrogen atmosphere for 70 minutes and activation was performed by steam at 950℃ for 210 minutes. Surface area and pore volume of the resulting activated carbons increased with carbonization temperature. Also pore volume increased by 20% compared to the activated carbon without carbonization. Especially, in mesopore region, the activated carbon carbonized at 900℃ had more pores by 60% than that of activated carbon carbonized at other temperature.
