The design of buried underground flexible pipes proposed in domestic standards does not properly reflect changes in ground characteristics. Overseas standards suggest that pipe deflection must be considered while designing them. Therefore, in this study, the structural behavior of underground polyvinyl chloride pipes was investigated through experiments and the finite element analysis. In addition, when the pipe deflection occurred at 3% and 5%, the hydraulic characteristics of the polyvinyl chloride pipe showed a slight difference compared to the round pipe.

The industrialization and urbanization forced to increase the density of pipelines such as water supply, sewers, and gas pipelines. The materials used for the existing pipe lines are mostly composed of concretes and steels, but it is true that the development for more durable and efficient materials has been continued performed to produce long lasting pipe lines. Recently, underground pipes serve in diverse applications such as sewer lines, drain lines, water mains, gas lines, telephone and electrical conduits, culverts, oil lines, etc. In this paper, we present the result of investigation pertaining to the structural behavior of unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U) flexible pipes buried underground. In the investigation of structural behavior such as a ring deflection, pipe stiffness, 4-point bending test, experimental and analytical studies are conducted. In addition, pipe stiffness is determined by the parallel plate loading tests and the finite element analysis. The difference between test and analysis is about 8% although there are significant variations in the mechanical properties of the pipe material. In addition, it was found by the 4-point bending test there is no problem in the connection between the pipes by coupler.

알칼리 수전해용 격막으로 사용하기 위해 음이온교환막을 제작하였다. 음이온교환막은 PVC (polyvinyl chloride)를 출발물질로 하여 클로로메틸화 및 아민화에 의해 제작하였다. 제작한 막은 막 특성(막 저항, 이온교환용량)을 평가하였다.제작한 음이온교환막의 1M NaOH수용액에서의 최저 막 저항은 2.9 Ω·cm2를 나타냈다. 이 막은 2.17 meq./g-dry-membrane의 이온교환용량과 43.4%의 함수율을 보였다. 제작한 음이온교환막의 막 특성을 시판의 막 특성과 비교 평가하였다. 1M NaOH수용액에서의 막 저항은 AHT>IOMAC>Homemade membrane>AHA>APS=AFN의 순으로 저항 값이 높았다. 이온교환용량은 Homemade membrane>AFN>APS>AHT>AHA>IOMAC의 순으로 높은 값을 가졌다.

본 연구는 정밀여과용 Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) 평막의 화학약품 수용액 내에서 경과시간에 따른 내화학성을 측정하기 위하여 실시하였다. 화학약품으로는 막 세정에 주로 사용되는 유효염소 0.5 wt% NaClO 수용액과 산성인 HCl 1 wt%, pH 4 수용액 그리고 알카리인 NaOH 4 wt%, pH 10 수용액을 사용하였다. 이상의 수용액중에 CPVC 분리막을 1일, 3, 5, 10일 동안 5, 25, 50℃에서 침지시킨 후, 각각의 인장강도와 파단시 신장율을 측정하여 내구성을 평가하였다. 막 세정시 주로 사용되는 유효염소 0.5 wt% NaClO 수용액의 경우 5℃ 조건에서는 인장강도 변화는 5% 이내이지만 25, 50℃에서는 17%까지 감소하였다. CPVC 분리막의 내화학성은 산성인 HCl 1 wt%와 pH 4 수용액에서 우수하였으나 NaOH 4 wt% 수용액에 대해서 가장 취약한 것으로 나타났다.

The solid phase extractant (PVC-D2EHPA bead) was prepared by immobilizing di-2-ethylhexyl-phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) with polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The prepared PVC-D2EHPA beads were characterized by using fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The removal experiments of Cu(II) by PVC-D2EHPA beads conducted batchwise. The removal kinetics of Cu(II) was found to follow the pseudo-second-order model. The equilibrium data fitted well with Langmuir isotherm model and the maximum removal capacity was 2.6 mg/g at 20℃. The optimum pH region was in the range of 3.5 to 6. and the standard free energy (△Go) was between –4.67 ∼–4.98 kJ/mol, indicating the spontaneous nature of Cu(II) removal by PVC-D2EHPA beads.
