The main object of this study is to investigate the collection characteristics of wet-type rotating porous disk system experimentally. The experiment is carried out to analyze the pressure drop and collection efficiency for the present system with the experimental parameters such as system inlet velocity, stage number, tube diameter, inlet concentration, etc. In results, for the present system, at 5 stage and υin=1.8 m/s, the pressure drop becomes significantly lower as 64 mmH2O in comparison with that of the conventional wet type scrubber (Venturi scrubber, over 250 mmH2O). The collection efficiencies increase with higher inlet velocity showing 92, 95.7, 98.4%, while SO2 removal efficiencies decrease with increment of inlet velocity as 80, 65, 50% at υin=1.08, 1.44, 1.8 m/s and tube diameter Dt=10 mm, respectively. The present system is to be considered as an effective compact system for a simultaneous removal of particle/gas phase pollutants from marine diesel engines.

In this study, we optimized dissolution the dissolution conditions of porous amorphous powder to havehigh specific surface area. Porous metallic glass(MG) granules were fabricated by selective phase dissolution, in whichbrass is removed from a composite powder consisting of MG and 40 vol.% brass. Dissolution was achieved throughvarious concentrations of H2SO4 and HNO3, with HNO3 proving to have the faster reaction kinetics. Porous powderswere analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry to observe crystallization behavior. The Microstructure of milledpowder and dissolved powder was analyzed by scanning electron microscope. To check for residual in the dissolvedpowder after dissolution, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscory and elemental mapping was conducted. It was confirmedthat the MG/brass composite powder dissolved in 10% HNO3 produced a porous MG granule with a relatively high spe-cific surface area of 19.60 m2/g. This proved to be the optimum dissolution condition in which both a porous internalgranule structure and amorphous phase were maintained. Consequently, porous MG granules were effectively fabricatedand applications of such structures can be expanded.

This study reports a simple way of fabricating the porous Cu with unidirectional pore channels by freezedrying camphene slurry with Cu oxide coated Cu powders. The coated powders were prepared by calcination of ball-milled powder mixture of Cu and Cu-nitrate. Improved dispersion stability of camphene slurry could be achieved usingthe Cu oxide coated Cu powders instead of pure Cu powders. Pores in the frozen specimen at -25oC were generated bysublimation of the camphene during drying in air, and the green bodies were sintered at 750oC for 1 h in H2 atmo-sphere. XRD analysis revealed that the coated layer of Cu oxide was completely converted to Cu phase without anyreaction phases by hydrogen heat treatment. The porous Cu specimen prepared from pure Cu powders showed partlylarge pores with unidirectional pore channels, but most of pores were randomly distributed. In contrast, large andaligned parallel pores to the camphene growth direction were clearly observed in the sample using Cu oxide coated Cupowders. Pore formation behavior depending on the initial powders was discussed based on the degree of powder rear-rangement and dispersion stability in slurry.

Fe-Cr-Al powder porous metal was manufactured by using new electro-spray process. First, ultra-finefecralloy powders were produced by using the submerged electric wire explosion process. Evenly distributed colloid(0.05~0.5% powders) was dispersed on Polyurethane foam through the electro-spray process. And then degreasing andsintering processes were conduced. In order to examine the effect of cell size (200 µm, 450 µm, 500 µm) in process,pre-samples were sintered for two hours at temperature of 1450˚C, in H₂ atmospheres. A 24-hour thermo gravimetricanalysis test was conducted at 1000˚C in a 79% N₂ + 21% O₂ to investigate the high temperature oxidation behavior ofpowder porous metal. The results of the high temperature oxidation tests showed that oxidation resistance increased withincreasing cell size. In the 200 µm porous metal with a thinner strut and larger specific surface area, the depletion ofthe stabilizing elements such as Al and Cr occurred more quickly during the high-temperature oxidation compared withthe 450, 500 µm porous metals.

Cu-Ni alloys with unidirectionally aligned pores were prepared by freeze-drying process of CuO-NiO/cam-phene slurry. Camphene slurries with dispersion stability by the addition of oligomeric polyester were frozen at -25˚C,and pores in the frozen specimens were generated by sublimation of the camphene during drying in air. The green bod-ies were hydrogen-reduced at 300˚C and sintered at 850˚C for 1h. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that CuO-NiOcomposite powders were completely converted to Cu-Ni alloy without any reaction phases by hydrogen reduction. Thesintered samples showed large and aligned parallel pores to the camphene growth direction, and small pores in the inter-nal wall of large pores. The pore size and porosity decreased with increase in CuO-NiO content from 5 to 10 vol%.The change of pore characteristics was explained by the degree of powder rearrangement in slurry and the accumulationbehavior of powders in the interdendritic spaces of solidified camphene.

In order to fabricate the porous Al₂O₃ with dispersion of nano-sized Cu particles, freeze-drying of cam-phene/Al₂O₃ slurry and solution chemistry process using Cu-nitrate are introduced. Camphene slurries with 10vol% Al₂O₃ was frozen at -25˚C. Pores were generated by sublimation of the camphene during drying in air. The sinteredsamples at 1400 and 1500oC showed the same size of large pores which were aligned parallel to the sublimable vehiclesgrowth direction. However, the size of fine pores in the internal walls of large pores decreased with increase in sinteringtemperature. It was shown that Cu particles with the size of 100 nm were homogeneously dispersed on the surfaces ofthe large pores. Antibacterial test using fungus revealed that the porous Al₂O₃/1vol% Cu composite showed antifungalproperty due to the dispersion of Cu particles. The results are suggested that the porous composites with required porecharacteristics and functional property can be fabricated by freeze-drying process and addition of functional nano par-ticles by chemical method.

PES 함량이 높은 캐스팅 솔루션의 분리막으로 제조된 전지는 높은 IR 손실과 낮은 방전용량을 보였으며, PVP 함량이 높은 캐스팅 솔루션의 분리막으로 제조된 전지는 낮은 IR손실과 높은 방전용량을 보였다.

Well-distributed ruthenium (Ru) nanoparticles decorated on porous carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were synthesized using an electrospinning method and a reduction method for use in high-performance elctrochemical capacitors. The formation mechanisms including structural, morphological, and chemical bonding properties are demonstrated by means of field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). To investigate the optimum amount of the Ru nanoparticles decorated on the porous CNFs, we controlled three different weight ratios (0 wt%, 20 wt%, and 40 wt%) of the Ru nanoparticles on the porous CNFs. For the case of 20 wt% Ru nanoparticles decorated on the porous CNFs, TEM results indicate that the Ru nanoparticles with ~2-4 nm size are uniformly distributed on the porous CNFs. In addition, 40 wt% Ru nanoparticles decorated on the porous CNFs exhibit agglomerated Ru nanoparticles, which causes low performance of electrodes in electrochemical capacitors. Thus, proper distribution of 20 wt% Ru nanoparticles decorated on the porous CNFs presents superior specific capacitance (~280.5 F/g at 10 mV/s) as compared to the 40 wt% Ru nanoparticles decorated on the porous CNFs and the only porous CNFs. This enhancement can be attributed to the synergistic effects of well-distributed Ru nanoparticles and porous CNF supports having high surface area.

In this study, synthetic viscose rayon fabric has been used for preparing activated carbon fabric (ACF), impregnated with different concentrations of H3PO4. The effect of H3PO4 im-pregnation on the weight yield, surface area, pore volume, chemical composition and mor-phology of ACF were studied. Experimental results revealed that both Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area and micropore volume increased with increasing H3PO4 concentration; however, the weight yield and microporosity (%) decreased. It was observed that samples impregnated at 70°C (AC-70) give higher yield and higher microporosity as compared to 30°C (AC-30). The average pore size of the ACF also gradually increases from 18.2 to 19 and 16.7 to 20.4 Å for 30°C and 70°C, respectively. The pore size distribution of ACF was also studied. It is also concluded that the finalACF strength is dependent on the concentra-tion of impregnant.

Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) with diameters in the submicron and nanometer range exhibit high specific surface area, hierarchically porous structure, flexibility, and super strength which allow them to be used in the electrode materials of energy storage devices, and as hybrid-type filler in carbon fiber reinforced plastics and bone tissue scaffold. Unlike catalytic synthesis and other methods, electrospinning of various polymeric precursors followed by stabilization and carbonization has become a straightforward and convenient way to fabricate continuous CNFs. This paper is a comprehensive and brief review on the latest advances made in the development of electrospun CNFs with major focus on the promising applications accomplished by appropriately regulating the microstructural, mechanical, and electrical properties of as-spun CNFs. Additionally, the article describes the various strategies to make a variety of carbon CNFs for energy conversion and storage, catalysis, sensor, adsorption/separation, and biomedical applications. It is envisioned that electrospun CNFs will be the key materials of green science and technology through close collaborations with carbon fibers and carbon nanotubes.

Freeze drying of a porous Cu-Sn alloy with unidirectionally aligned pore channels was accomplished by using a composite powder of CuO-SnO2 and camphene. Camphene slurries with CuO-SnO2 content of 3, 5 and 10 vol% were prepared by mixing with a small amount of dispersant at 50˚C. Freezing of a slurry was done at -25˚C while the growth direction of the camphene was unidirectionally controlled. Pores were generated subsequently by sublimation of the camphene during drying in air for 48 h. The green bodies were hydrogen-reduced at 650˚C and then were sintered at 650˚C and 750˚C for 1 h. XRD analysis revealed that the CuO-SnO2 powder was completely converted to Cu-Sn alloy without any reaction phases. The sintered samples showed large pores with an average size of above 100μm which were aligned parallel to the camphene growth direction. Also, the internal walls of the large pores had relatively small pores. The size of the large pores decreased with increasing CuO-SnO2 content due to the change of the degree of powder rearrangement in the slurry. The size of the small pores decreased with increase of the sintering temperature from 650˚C to 750˚C, while that of the large pores was unchanged. These results suggest that a porous alloy body with aligned large pores can be fabricated by a freeze-drying and hydrogen reduction process using oxide powders.

Microbial fermented cellulose gel, citrus gel(CG), was successfully fabricated to porousfoam by radiation treatment and freeze drying. The chemically induced radiation was used to createhighly porous foam and further freeze drying of the CG produced tough foams with interconnectedopen pores for use in tissue engineering. The microstructure of the CG foam was controlled byvarying the irradiation dose and quenching temperature with pore size ranging from several micronsto a few hundred microns. Tensile strength and Gurley value of the CG foam were influenced byirradiation dose. These radiation induced CG foams are promising scaffolds for tissue engineering.

Potassium hydroxide-activated carbons (CK21, CK11, and CK12) were prepared from pis-tachio nutshells. Physicochemical properties of activated carbons were characterized by TGA, pHpzc, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and N2-adsorption at -196°C. The examinations showed that activated carbons have high sur-face area ranging between 695-1218 m2/g, total pore volume ranging between 0.527-0.772 mL/g, and a pore radius around 1.4 nm. The presence of acidic and basic surface C-O groups was confirmed.Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to study the effects of adsorbent dosage, temperature, initial concentration of adsorbate, and contact time on deltamethrin adsorption by activated carbons. The kinetic studies showed that the adsorp-tion data followed a pseudo-second order kinetic model. The Langmuir model showed a maximum adsorption capacity of 162.6 mg/g at 35°C on CK12. Thermodynamic studies indicated that adsorption was spontaneous and increased with temperature, suggesting an endothermic process.
