This research aims to study the simultaneous extraction and transesterification of Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris) using microwave irradiation with methanol as solvent and potassium hydroxide (KOH) as catalyst. The microwave-assisted insitu transesterification of C. vulgaris is assessed at various ratios of biomass-to-methanol, reaction times, and catalyst concentrations during the centrifugation and evaporation process. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis is performed to confirm fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) composition. Biodiesel preparation is carried out by simultaneous extraction and transesterification of microalgae from C. vulgaris. The product is then characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR); microalgae are observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The highest amount of FAME is obtained at a biomass-to-methanol ratio of 1:12, reaction time of 40 min, and catalyst concentration of 2 wt%. Biodiesel shows conversion to about 77.64% of methyl ester (methyl myristate, methyl palmitoleate, methyl linoleate, methyl oleate, methyl arachidonate, and methyl 5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentanoate).

The H2/CO2selectivity across ZIF-7 membrane prepared by in-situ growth method at 105°C synthesis temperature for 2 h, was the highest at 15.98, nearly 4 times higher than H2/CO2 Knudsens E.q. factor of 4.7. ZIF-7 membranes prepared from in-situ growth method also surprisingly performed better than ZIF-7 membranes prepared by other innovative techniques such as electro-spray deposition and secondary growth methods. (selectivity : 9.59 and 4.7, respectively) Despite lower selectivity performance than the numerically predicted results, the micro-porous ZIF-7 membrane prepared in this work demonstrated higher H2 permeability of 3770 barrer. Performance comparison between various inorganic membranes, including ZIF-7 & ZIF-8 membranes, was made and a new upper boundary for inorganic membranes was also constructed and reported.

국내에서 일반적으로 보조기층재료로 사용되고 있는 보조기층 다짐재료의 역학적 특성을 반영한 실내 회복탄성계수는 역학적-경험적 포장설계법에서 적용하는 설계 인자이다. 따라서, 역학적-경험적 포장설계법의 보조기층 현장에서 실시하여야 하는 다짐관리는 다짐 후 측정된 현장 탄성계수가 설계에 적용된 실내 회복탄성계수를 만족하는지 여부를 확인하여야 할 것이다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 기존 다짐관리 시험인 들밀도 시험과 평판재하시험(PBT)의 시험결과와 현장탄성계수와의 상관성을 분석하였고, 현장에서 탄성계수를 측정할 수 있는 소형 충격 재하시험(LFWD)을 통한 현장탄성계수와 실내 회복탄성계수와의 상관관계식과 시험간격을 제안하였다. 또한 제안된 상관관계를 이용하여 현장시험을 통한 보조기층의 다짐관리방안을 제안하였다.

nanoparticle was synthesized by the flame method, which was controlled by varying the ratio and flow rate of gas mixtures consisting of oxygen (oxidizer), methane (fuel) and nitrogen (carrier gas). The crystalline phases of nanoparticle depended strongly on the temperature distribution in the flame, whereas the morphology was not sensitive. We proved that the anatase phase formed without the phase transformation in the flame and the rutile phase generated through several phase transformations.

Synthesis and characteristics of Cu nanopowder were considered by in-situ characterization method using SMPS in pulsed wire evaporation process. With increasing pressure in chamber, particle size and degree of agglomeration increased by increase of collision frequency. Also, it was found from the XRD analyses and BET measurements that crystallite size and particle size decreased with elevating applied voltage. However, SMPS measurements and TEM observation revealed the increase of particle size and degree of agglomeration with increase of applied voltage. These results suggested that particle growth and agglomeration depend on overheating factor in chamber at the early stage and thermal coagulation in filtering system during powder formation until collection.

실제증발산 자료를 융합하기 위한 Modified Kling-Gupta efficiency Fusion (KGF)방법을 제시하였고, 인공위성 및 재분석 증발산 자료인 Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS), Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model (GLEAM), MODIS Global Evapotranspiration Project (MOD16)를 활용하여 Simple Taylor skill’s Score (STS)와 비교하였다. 한반도와 중국의 세가지 land cover type(i.e., cropland, grassland, forest)을 가진 flux tower에서 비교 검증을 실시하였다. 실제증발산의 융합 방법인 STS와 KGF로 계산된 가중치의 결과를 확인하면, cropland와 grassland에서 재분석 자료(GLDAS, GLEAM)가 높은 가중치 영향을 나타내지만, forest에서 융합 방법에 따라 가중치 영향이 다르게 나타났다. 전반적으로 실제증발산 융합 방법 적용 결과의 비교에서는 cropland에서는 융합에 사용된 자료에 비하여 높은 개선이 이뤄지지 않았지만, grassland와 forest 에서는 개선이 이뤄졌다. 두 방법 중 KGF의 결과가 STS의 결과에 비하여 약간 개선되는 결과를 나타내었다
