원자력을 이용한 황-요오드 수소생산 공정 중 황산용액을 이송하는 기존의 시스템과 달리 새로운 황산 이송장치는 벨로우즈 박스 내에서 벨로우즈 외측으로 고온 부식성 액체인 황산이 흐르고, 벨로우즈 내측으로는 냉각수가 흐르는 상태에서 주기 운동을 통해 황산용액이 펌핑 되도록 구성된다. 200 ℃ 이상의 고온 부식성 액체인 황산용액을 정량으로 이송할 수 있도록 장치의 주요부품인 벨로우즈 주변의 열해석을 통해 온도분포를 확인하여, 테프론 재질의 벨로우즈의 내식성 및 내열성을 파악하고, 장치의 안전하고 효율적인 운용을 위한 기초자료를 취득하고자 하였으며, 냉각수 입구직경 3 ㎝, 질량유량이 3.9199 ㎏/s로 고정한 경우 벨로우즈의 길이에 관계없이 테프론 변형온도 이하임을 알 수 있었다.

Polyacrylonitrile-based carbon nanofibers (CNFs) containing Ti and Mn were prepared by electrospinning. The effect of metal content on the hydrogen storage capacity of the nanofibers was evaluated. The nanofibers containing Ti and Mn exhibited maximum hydrogen adsorption capacities of 1.6 and 1.1 wt%, respectively, at 303 K and 9 MPa. Toward the development of an improved hydrogen storage system, the optimum conditions for the production of metalized CNFs were investigated by characterizing the specific surface areas, pore volumes, sizes, and shapes of the fibers. According to the results of Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, the activation of the CNFs using potassium hydroxide resulted in a large pore volume and specific surface area in the samples. This is attributable to the optimized pore structure of the metal-containing polyacrylonitrile-based electrospun CNFs, which may provide better sites for hydrogen adsorption than do current adsorbates.

팔라듐이 코팅된 V53Ti26Ni21 합금 분리막을 통해 수소 투과시 혼합가스의 영향에 대해 알아보았다. 순수 수소, 수소, 이산화탄소 및 일산화탄소의 혼합가스를 공급가스로 주입할 때, 450℃, 1-3 bar의 압력에서 팔라듐이 코팅된 V53Ti26Ni21 합금 분리막의 수소 투과 실험을 수행하였다. 수소만을 공급한 투과 실험에서 팔라듐 코팅된 V53Ti26Ni21 합금 분리막(두께: 0.5 mm)의 수소 투과량은 3 bar, 450℃ 조건에서 5.36mL/min/㎠였다. 또한 수소/이산화탄소, 수소/일산화탄소 및 수소/이산화탄소/일산화탄소를 공급한 투과실험에서 V53Ti26Ni21 합금 분리막의 수소 투과량은 각각 4.46, 5.20, 3.91mL/min/㎠였다. 따라서, 수소/이산화탄소, 수소/일산화탄소 및 수소/이산화탄소/일산화탄소 혼합가스를 각각 공급할 때 투과량은 온도와 압력에 상관없이 수소 분압 감소만큼 감소하였고 모든 경우 Sievert 법칙을 잘 만족시켰다. 투과 후 분리막의 XRD 결과로부터 V53Ti26Ni21 합금 분리막은 여러 혼합가스에 대해 안정성과 내구성이 우수하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The scope of this work investigates the relationship between the amount of oxygen-functional groups and hydrogen adsorption capacity with different concentrations of phosphoric acid. The amount of oxygen-functional groups of activated carbons (ACs) is characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The effects of chemical treatments on the pore structures of ACs are investigated by N2/77 K adsorption isotherms. The hydrogen adsorption capacity is measured by H2 isothermal adsorption at 298 K and 100 bar. In the results, the specific surface area and pore volume slightly decreased with the chemical treatments due to the pore collapsing behaviors, but the hydrogen storage capacity was increased by the oxygen-functional group characteristics of AC surfaces, resulting from enhanced electron acceptor-donor interaction at interfaces.

금속-세라믹 복합 분리막은 특히 석탄가스화 공정이나 메탄 개질에서 발생되는 혼합가스로부터 수소를 분리하기 위해 개발되어졌다. 수소투과 금속인 팔라듐과 세라믹 지지체로 Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ)를 이용하여 cermet 수소분리막을 제조하였다. 이렇게 제조된 분리막은 팔라듐의 연속상이 잘 발달된 치밀 구조를 보였다.

The size of hydrogen molecule is not so small as to invade into the lattice of material, and therefore, hydrogen invades into the material as atom. Hydrogen movement is done by diffusion or dislocation movement in the near crack tip or plastic deformation. Hydrogen appeared to have many effects on the mechanical properties of the Cr-Mo steel alloys. The materials for this study are 1.25Cr-0.5Mo and 2.25Cr-1Mo steels used at high temperature and pressure. The hydrogen amount obtained by theoretical calculation was almost same with the result solved by finite element analysis. The distribution of hydrogen concentration and average concentration was calculated for a flat specimen. Also, finite element analysis was employed to simulate the redistribution of hydrogen due to stress gradient. The calculation of hydrogen concentration diffused into the material by finite element method will provide the basis for the prediction of delayed fracture of notched specimen. The distribution of hydrogen concentration invaded into the smooth and notched specimen was obtained by finite element analysis. The hydrogen amount is much in smooth specimen and tends to concentrate in the vicinity of surface. Hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility of notched specimen after hydrogen charging is more remarkable than that of smooth specimen.

The potential application of ultrafine cerium oxide (ceria, ) as an oxygen gas sensor has been investigated. Ceria was synthesized by a thermochemical process: first, a precursor powder was prepared by spray drying cerium-nitrate solution. Heat treatment in air was then performed to evaporate the volatile components in the precursor, thereby forming nanostructured having a size of approximately 20 nm and specific surface area of 100 . After sintering with loosely compacted samples, hydrogen-reduction heat treatment was performed at 773K to increase the degree of non-stoichiometry, x, in . In this manner, the electrical conductivity and oxygen-response ability could be enhanced by increasing the number of oxygen vacancies. After the hydrogen reduction at 773K, was obtained with nearly the same initial crystalline size and surface. The response time measured at room temperature was extremely short at 4 s as compared to 14 s for normally sintered . We believe that this hydrogen-reduced ceria can perform capably as a high-performance oxygen sensor with good response abilities even at room temperature.

Synthesis of carbon fibers from cotton fiber by pyrolysis process has been described. Synthesis parameters are optimized using Taguchi optimization technique. Synthesized carbon fibers are used for studying hydrogen adsorption capacity using Seivert's apparatus. Transmission electron microscopy analysis and X-ray diffraction of carbon fiber from cotton suggested it to be very transparent type material possessing graphitic nature. Carbon synthesized from cotton fibers under the conditions predicted by Taguchi optimization methodology (no treatment of cotton fiber prior to pyrolysis, temperature of pyrolysis 800℃, Argon as carrier gas and paralyzing time for 2 h) exhibited 7.32 wt% hydrogen adsorption capacity.

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) performance degrades when hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is present in the fuel hydrogen gas; this is referred to as H2S poisoning. This paper reveals H2S poisoning on PEMFC by measuring electrical performance of single cell FC under various operating conditions. The severity of H2S poisoning depended on H2S concentration under best operating conditions(65℃ of cell temperature and 100% of anode humidification). H2S adsorption occured on the surface of catalyst layer on MEA, but not on the gas diffusion layer(GDL) by analyzing SEM/EDX data. In addition, MEA poisoning by H2S was cumulative but reversible. After poisoning for less than 150 min, performance of PEMFC was recovered up to 80% by just inert nitrogen gas purging.

We have accomplished a various reaction experiment for a purifying agent selection which is related with efficient site demobilization about soil contaminated with the total petroleum hydrocarbon(TPH) in link of contaminated soil purification enterprise of power train center in Y railway car places of business for an oxidizer comparison experiment, we have differed consistency and implantation quantity of the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The result showed the highest 98.8% removal ratio, when H2O2 is 35% consistency. In the same way, the result which implants at 1:1 ratio (hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) : the catalyst (FeSO4 ․7H2O)) showed a similar result, when only the hydrogen peroxide was implanted.

ZnO thin films were prepared on a glass substrate by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering without intentional substrate heating and then surfaces of the ZnO films were irradiated with intense electrons in vacuum condition to investigate the effect of electron bombardment on crystallization, surface roughness, morphology and hydrogen gas sensitivity. In XRD pattern, as deposited ZnO films show a higher ZnO (002) peak intensity. However, the peak intensity for ZnO (002) is decreased with increase of electron bombarding energy. Atomic force microscope images show that surface morphology is also dependent on electron bombarding energy. The surface roughness increases due to intense electron bombardment as high as 2.7 nm. The observed optical transmittance means that the films irradiated with intense electron beams at 900 eV show lower transmittance than the others due to their rough surfaces. In addition, ZnO films irradiated by the electron beam at 900 eV show higher hydrogen gas sensitivity than the films that were electron beam irradiated at 450 eV. From XRD pattern and atomic force microscope observations, it is supposed that intense electron bombardment promotes a rough surface due to the intense bombardments and increased gas sensitivity of ZnO films for hydrogen gas. These results suggest that ZnO films irradiated with intense electron beams are promising for practical high performance hydrogen gas sensors.

High strength sheet steels for automobile are seriously compromised by hydrogen embrittlement. This issue has been continuously studied, but the field of interest, which lies between microstructural characteristics and hydrogen behavior with hydrogen charging, has not yet been thoroughly investigated. This study was done to investigate the behavior of hydrogen according to the hydrogen volume fraction on 590MPa grade DP steels, which are developed under hydrogen charging conditions as high strength sheet steels for automobiles. The penetration depths and the mechanical properties, according to charging conditions, were investigated through the distribution of micro-hardness and the microstructural observation of the subsurface zone. It was found that the amount of hydrogen trapping in 590MPa DP steels was related to the austenite volume fraction. It was confirmed that the distribution of micro-hardnesses according to the depth of the subsurface zone under the free surface showed the relationship of the depth of the hydrogen saturation between the charging conditions.
