식품생산과정에서 발생하는 유기성폐기물인 골분, 유박, 굴 패화석을 토양에 투입한 결과 일부 처리구에서 토양생물과 화학성이 영향을 받았다. 골분은 토양의 질산태질소를 일시적으로 증가시켰고, 패화석은 pH를 증가시켰다. 골분은 느티나무 생장을 증진시키는 효과가 있었기 때문에 이차적으로 토양생태계에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 미생물 PLFA는 패화석에 의해 증가하였으며 환경스트레스를 나타내는 지표도 낮은 경향이 있었다. 이것은 패화석이 양분 증가보다는 pH 증가를 통해 미생물의 서식환경을 개선하는 효과가 있다는 것을 보여준다. 토양미소동물 중에는 세균섭식성 선충만이 유박과 골분 처리구에서 증가하였다. 이들 밀도와 세균 PLFA 간에 상관관계는 없었다. 다만 식물생장과 식물섭식성선충의 유의적 상관관계는 유기물투입이 식물을 통해 이차적으로 토양생태계에 영향을 줄 수 있다는 것을 부분적으로 보여준다. 따라서 유기성폐기물 처리는 토양화학성 변화를 통해 일차적으로 미생물 군집에 영향을 주지만, 미생물을 섭식하는 생물군에게 상향식의 양적인 연쇄반응을 일으키지 않을 수 있다는 것을 시사한다.

In this study, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from printing industries were analyzed, and an inorganic adsorbent, γ-alumina, was selected for the effective control of the VOC emissions. Printing processes commonly require inks, thinners, and cleaners, and they were mixed organic solvents containing aromatic compounds, ketones, and alcohols. Therefore, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and isopropyl alcohol (IPA) were selected as model compounds for this study. The adsorptive properties using γ-alumina were determined for the model compounds. Both batch isotherm and continuous flow column tests demonstrated that the adsorption capacity of MEK and IPA was 3~4 times higher than that of toluene. The column test performed at an inlet toluene concentration of 100 ppm showed that an 80% breakthrough for toluene was observed after 3 hours, but both MEK and IPA were continuously adsorbed during the same time period. A numerical model simulated that the γ-alumina could remove toluene at a loading rate of 0.4 mg/min only for a 4-hour period, which might be too short of a duration for real applications. Consequently, lifetime enhancement for γ-alumina must be implemented, and ozone oxidation and regeneration would be feasible options.

To abate the problem of odor from restaurants, a hybrid adsorbent consisting of organic and inorganic materials was developed and evaluated using acetaldehyde as a model compound was deveioped and evaluated. Powders of activated carbon, bentonite, and calcium hydroxide were mixed and calcinated to form adsorbent structure. The surface area of the hybrid adsorbent was smaller than that of high-quality activated carbon, but its microscopic image showed that contours and pores were developed on its surface. To determine its adsorption capacity, both batch isotherm and continuous flow column experiments were performed, and these results were compared with those using commercially available activated carbon. The isotherm tests showed that the hybrid adsorbent had a capacity 40 times higher than that of the activated carbon. In addition, the column experiments revealed that breakthrough time of the hybrid adsorbent was 2.5 times longer than that of the activated carbon. These experimental results were fitted to numerical simulations by using a homogeneous surface diffusion model (HSDM); the model estimated that the hybrid adsorbent might be able to remove acetaldehyde at a concentration of 40 ppm for a 5-month period. Since various odor compounds are commonly emitted as a mixture when meat is barbecued, it is necessary to conduct a series of experiments and HSDM simulations under various conditions to obtain design parameters for a full-scale device using the hybrid adsorbent.

Indoor Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are classified as known or possible toxicants and odorants. This study characterized VOC levels in 11 homes in an area in the capital of Seoul by using two different methods of VOCs sampling, which are the active sampling using a thermal sorption tube and the passive sampling using a diffusion sampler. When using the active sampling method, the total target VOC concentration ranged from 41.7 to 420.7 μg/ m3 (mean 230.4 μg/m3; median 221.8 μg/m3) during winter and 21.3 to 1,431.9 μg/m3 (mean 340.1 μg/m3; median 175.4 μg/m3) during summer. When using the passive method, 29.6 to 257.5 μg/m3 (mean 81.8 μg/m3; median 49.4 μg/m3) during winter and 1.2 to 5,131.1 μg/m3 (mean 1,758.8 μg/m3; median 1,375.1 μg/m3) during summer. Forty-nine VOCs were quantified and toluene showed the highest concentration regardless of the season and the sampling method studied. The distribution of VOCs was relatively varied by using the active method. However, it showed a low correlation with indoor environmental factors such as room temperature, humidity and ventilation time. The correlation between indoor environmental factors and VOCs were relatively high in the passive method. In particular, these characteristics were confirmed by principal component analysis.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of combined organic and inorganic hybrid mortar used as repair materials (UM mortar) for concrete road facilities by comparison with cement repair materials (RM mortar). METHODS: In order to produce UM mortar, four different levels of inorganic materials were adopted and the ratio of main resin to hardener was fixed at 1:2. For comparison, RM mortar made with cement repair materials was also produced. Fluidity, strength characteristics, length change, and freezing-thawing resistance of the mortars were measured at the predetermined periods. In addition, the microstructures of the mortars was performed on the 28-day mortar samples to examine the properties of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ). RESULTS : It was observed that the mechanical properties, except for compressive strength, and freezing-thawing resistance of UM mortars were much better than those of RM mortar. Furthermore, showing a densified ITZ properties on the UM mortars from the microstructural observation, the usage of UM mortars exhibited a beneficial effect on the enhancement of mortar properties. CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that the application of combined organic and inorganic hybrid mortars is a possible option for the repair of deteriorated concrete road facilities.

In anion exchange membrane fuel cells, Pd nanoparticles are extensively studied as promising non-Pt catalysts due to their electronic structure similar to Pt. In this study, to fabricate Pd nanoparticles well dispersed on carbon support materials, we propose a synthetic strategy using mixed organic ligands with different chemical structures and functions. Simultaneously to control the Pd particle size and dispersion, a ligand mixture composed of oleylamine(OA) and trioctylphosphine(TOP) is utilized during thermal decomposition of Pd precursors. In the ligand mixture, OA serves mainly as a reducing agent rather than a stabilizer since TOP, which has a bulky structure, more strongly interacts with the Pd metal surface as a stabilizer compared to OA. The specific roles of OA and TOP in the Pd nanoparticle synthesis are studied according to the mixture composition, and the oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) activity and durability of highly-dispersed Pd nanocatalysts with different particles sizes are investigated. The results of this study confirm that the Pd nanocatalyst with large particles has high durability compared to the nanocatalyst with small Pd nanoparticles during the accelerated degradation tests although they initially indicated similar ORR performance.

본 연구에서는 하수처리유출수의 유기물 성상을 제어하기 위해 서로 다른 흡착제를 적용하여 역삼투막의 막오염 경향성을 관찰하였다. 실험실 규모에서 역삼투막 운전결과, 다중벽탄소나노튜브 (5%), 팽창흑연 (21%), 하수처리유출수(25%), 활성탄 (26%) 순서로 초기대비 투과수량이 감소하였다. 형성된 막오염 물질의 FEEM 분석결과, 활성탄의 경우 팽창흑연, 다중벽탄소나노튜브, 하수처리 유출수에 상대적으로 높은 미생물유래물질에 의한 막오염이 존재하였다. 더 나아가, 분자량 분석 결과를 통해 고분자 미생물유래물질(>15K Da)의 영향이 큰 것을 확인하였다. 결과적으로, 하수재이용공정에서 고분자 미생물유래물질이 역삼투막 효율저하의 주요한 역할을 하며, 이를 저감시키기 위한 방안마련이 필요하다고 판단되었다.

본 실험에서는 실제 원수와 모사 원수를 이용하여 유기막(PES, PVDF 및 PTFE)을 이용하여 재질에 따른 막오염 특성을 분석하고자 하였다. 먼저 원수를 운전압력 1kgf/cm2로 여과하였다. 재질별 소요된 여과 시간은 약 5분, 약 13분, 약 17분으로 각각 나타났다. 또한 모사 원수 실험을 진행하였고, 원수 실험과 동일한 결과를 나타냈다. Jucker 와 Clark(1994)에 따르면 소수성 재질의 막이 유기물 흡착에 의한 Flux 감소가 크다고 보고하였고, 본 실험에서도 소수성 재질의 막이 높은 Flux 감소율을 나타났다. 실험 결과를 통해 막 재질 특성이 조류 유입에 따른 Flux 감소율에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 환경부의 “환경정책기반공공기술개발사업”으로 지원받은 과제입니다.

New type of White-Light Emitting Diode (WOLED) that emits three primary colors of red, green and blue has been demonstrated. WOLED is properly laid out with emitting layers so that all three wavelengths of light can be emitted by using fit energy level, and the organic functional layer named white balanced layer (WBL) is introduced. As for the material used as WBL, the experiment used NPB that has electron blocking effect with its large LUMO value. The color purity of such WOLED can be easily adjusted through the adjustment of the number of electron carriers injected into light emitting layer. In this of study, color coordinate was (0.341, 0.424) and light emitting efficiency was 16.5 cd/A at current density 10 mA/cm2, so the WOLED demonstrated highly efficient characteristics of over commercial level.

다양한 산업 부생가스에 포함되어 있는 CO를 고순도로 정제하면 고부가가치의 화학원료 및 신재생 연료로 사용되어 경제적인 효과를 기대할 수 있다. CO를 정제하기 위해서는 주로 CO2가 포함된 혼합기체로부터 CO를 분리해야 하지만 CO만을 선택적으로 투과시킬 수 있는 CO/CO2 선택성 분리막에 대한 연구는 전 세계적으로 미미한 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 CO2친화성을 갖는 성질을 도입하여 CO2의 투과를 방해하고 상대적으로 CO를 선택적으로 투과할 수 있는 분리막을 개발하고자 하였다. 유기 졸-겔 법을 이용하여 Network former(TAPM)의 아민 그룹과 network linker(HDI)의 이소시아네이트 그룹으로부터 우레아 결합이 포함된 다공성 네트워크 구조를 제조하였다. 다양한 기체에 대한 순수가스 투과테스트를 통해 투과도를 확인하였고, 분리 메커니즘을 규명하기 위해 CO, CO2,N2에 대한 흡착 등온선을 측정하였다.

We developed a facile methodology for fabricating a free-standing mixed-matrix membrane (MMM) containing covalently incorporated vinyl-functionalized UiO-66-CH=CH2 particles up to 60 wt% by utilizing thiol-ene photopolymerization. FTIR, TGA, SEM, EDX, and XRD strongly supported the fact that the desired MMM containing well-dispersed UiO-66-CH=CH2 particles was successfully produced by C–S bond formation. The MMM was highly flexible and showed improved mechanical properties compared to the pristine polymeric membrane, indicating that the covalently immobilized UiO-66-CH=CH2 particles were homogeneously distributed in the polymer matrix. Gas permeability across the MMM was significantly enhanced compared with the pristine polymeric membrane as diffusion of the gas molecules was facilitated in the porous space of the MOF.

본 연구에서는 우리나라의 주요하천인 한강, 금강, 영산강, 섬진강 그리고 낙동강의 하구에서 해수중 화학적산소요구량(COD)의 농도를 결정하는 주요 요인과 수질인자에 대해 고찰하였다. 주성분분석으로 얻어진 해수중 COD 농도를 결정하는 주요요인은 염분과 클로로필-a를 중심으로 한 외래성 기원과 자생공급으로 나타났으며, 그 외 해저 퇴적층의 유기물도 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 하구해역의 COD 농도를 결정하는 수질인자들의 기여도는 회귀식 기울기를 통해 평가하였다. 조사시기별로는 전체적으로 염분의 영향을 많이 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 4월과 8월에는 클로로필-a의 영향도 함께 받는 것으로 나타났다. 하구별로는 낙동강에서는 클로로필-a, 한강과 영산강에서는 염분, 금강에서는 염분과 함께 클로로필-a의 기여도가 각각 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 섬진강에서는 염분과 클로로필-a 모두 낮은 기여를 나타내었다.

Prussian blue is known as a superior material for selective adsorption of radioactive cesium ions; however, the separation of Prussian blue from aqueous suspension, due to particle size of around several tens of nanometers, is a hurdle that must be overcome. Therefore, this study aims to develop granule type adsorbent material containing Prussian blue in order to selectively adsorb and remove radioactive cesium in water. The surface of granular activated carbon was grafted using a covalent organic polymer (COP-19) in order to enhance Prussian blue immobilization. To maximize the degree of immobilization and minimize subsequent detachment of Prussian blue, several immobilization pathways were evaluated. As a result, the highest cesium adsorption performance was achieved when Prussian blue was synthesized in-situ without solid-liquid separation step during synthesis. The sample obtained under optimal conditions was further analyzed by scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectrometry, and it was confirmed that Prussian blue, which is about 9.7% of the total weight, was fixed on the surface of the activated carbon; this level of fixing represented a two-fold improvement compared to before COP-19 modification. In addition, an elution test was carried out to evaluate the stability of Prussian blue. Leaching of Prussian blue and cesium decreased by 1/2 and 1/3, respectively, compared to those levels before modification, showing increased stability due to COP-19 grafting. The Prussian blue based adsorbent material developed in this study is expected to be useful as a decontamination material to mitigate the release of radioactive materials.

유기농경지에서 문제가 되는 해충을 방제하기 위하여 농가에서는 식물추출물 등 다양한 자가제조 유기농업자재를 활용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 농가 자가제조 유기농업자재를 이용하여 목화진딧물(Aphis gossypii)과 꽃노랑총채벌레(Franklineilla occidentalis)에 대한 살충효과를 시험하였다. 유기농업자재는 유기재배 농가에서 직접 수집하였으며 식물추출물로는 마늘, 돼지감자, 은행잎 등의 식물추출물과 목초액, 식물오일 등 8종의 자재를 이용하였다. 해충에 대한 살충시험은 25℃, 60% 습도 조건의 곤충사육실에서 이루어졌다. 처리시험을 위해 오이절편을 페트리디쉬에 넣고 시험곤충을 접종하여 농가수집자재를 원액, 30배, 100배, 300배로 희석하여 충체 살포법으로 처리하였다. 처리 후 24시간, 36시간, 72시간 후 사충률을 조사하였다. 진딧물의 경우 100배 희석처리에서 약초액비가 75%, 유화오일이 62.5% 은행잎액비가 42.5%의 살충효과를 각각 보여주었다. 꽃노랑총채벌레에는 협죽도와 마늘이 94.7%와 88.0% 살충효과를 보여주었다.

We used the upland field rotated from matured rice paddy field, which have been used as a rice paddy field long time, for three years from 2015 to 2017. Therefore, this study was conducted for three main purposes. The first was to investigate yearly changes of growth and yield for waxy maize in the organic farming waxy maize at rice paddy-upland rotation system, the second was to investigate yearly changes of soil physical and chemical characteristics of rice paddy field soil in organic farming waxy maize at rice paddy-upland rotation system and the third was to select the suitable varieties for organic farming waxy maize at rice paddy-upland rotation. The test varieties were that 8 varieties of waxy maize of Mibaek 2, Ilmichal, Daehakchal, Chalok 4, Miheukchal, Eolrukchal 1, Heukjinjuchal, Heugjeom 2. For yearly yield, the highest yield was obtained in the first year of 949.6 kg, the second highest was in the third year of 680.6 kg 10a-1, while the second year was the lowest yield (675.4 kg 10a-1). Both varieties of Chalok 4 and Ilmichal showed the highest yield with about 900 kg 10a-1 in the threeyear average of 8 varieties. Solid phase of deep soil was 10% higher than that of top soil. Porosity rate of the top soil (54.7%) was higher than that of deep soil (49.4%), and the porosity in the third year was 2.7% higher than that of the first year. Soil organic matter content was significant different between soil depths and between three years. Soil solid and liquid phase decreased by 1.6% and 4.3%, respectively, compared to the first year, and the gas phase increased by 4.3%. The porosity of the third year was 2.7% higher than that of the first year. The soil organic matter content was 9.5 g kg-1 in the third year compared with 12 g kg-1 in the first year. It has also trend to decrease as the number of years rotated from rice paddy field increased. In the three-year average yields of Ilmichal and Chalok 4 were 898.1 kg 10a-1 and 891.6 kg 10a-1 respectively and the yield of Chalok 4 was greater than the other 7 varieties. We compared and selected the two best waxy maize varieties of Chalok 4 and Ilmichal for rice paddy-upland rotation. When we look at the yearly variation for waxy maize, Waxy maize yield was the highest in the first year and decreased year by year. Therefore, it would be better to restore upland field to rice paddy fields after the first year.
