새만금 호의 수질 개선을 위하여 국가에서 해수 유통을 증가시킴에 따라 해수 유통 빈도 증가로 인한 새만금 호 내 염분과 저 층수 교환 변화를 알아보기 위하여, EFDC(Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code) 모델을 이용하였다. 갑문 개폐 횟수를 하루 1회에서 2회로 증 가했을 때, 새만금 호 내부 수위는 최대 약 0.7 m 상승하였다. 염분은 서측 방조제 근방에서 2.12 psu 증가하였으며, 담수 유입 부근에서는 1.18 psu 감소하였다. 입자추적을 이용하여 저층수 교환 정도 분석한 결과, 수심 5m 이하 입자 잔류율은 Case 2(1일 2회 개방)에서 Case 1(1 일 1회 개방)에 비해 2.52% 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 이는 수문 개폐 횟수를 증가시켰을 때, 저층수 교환이 더 활발해 질 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서 해수 유통 증가에 따른 염분 및 저층수 교환 증가로 새만금 호의 수질 개선이 될 수 있다고 판단된다.

막여과 수처리 공정에서 막오염은 플럭스 감소나 막간차압 증가를 야기하는 중요한 문제로 남아있다. 막오염을 저감하는 여러 가지 방법 중, 막의 표면에 패턴을 입혀 그 패턴의 형상에 따라 유체의 이동을 변화시킴으로써 막오염을 저감시키는 방법이 연구되어 왔다. 특히 45° 회전된 피라미드 패턴은 피라미드 패턴에 비해 막오염 저감 효과가 크다는 연구결과가 있었다. 본 연구에서는 비용매상분리법과 소프트리소그래피(soft-lithograhy)를 이용하여 막의 표면에 45° 회전된 피라미드 패턴을 입히고, 크기가 다른 입자를 포함한 원수를 여과하면서 막오염 저감 효과를 비교해 보았다.

본 연구에서는 분리, 흡착에 관한 물리적인 수처리 공정이 매우 중요해짐에 따라 이번 연구에서 Track-etched polycarbonate membrane이 친수성의 성질을 가지며 균일한 기공크기를 가지고 기계적 강도가 우수한 점을 활용하여 제조를 진행하였다. 이 분리막에는 표며이 하전 된 균일한 크기의 나노입자를 포함시킨 후 제거 능력에 대한 분리 특성평가를 진행하였다. 유화중합을 통해 얻어진 Polystyrene particle을 Cation/Anion으로 각각 하전시켰고 이 Latex입자들의 특성을 파악하기 위해 SEM, DSC, FT-IR 및 Zeta를 측정 진행하였다. 동시에 PC membrane이 갖는 표면 전하 및 기공크기와 입자의 표면이 갖는 전하 및 입자 크기에 따른 수투과도에 대한 조사를 진행하였다.

In this paper we have studied the effect of water droplet size on nano-particle size distribution using SMPS(Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer)system. It can be seen that the unknown peak at >100 nm was caused by water droplets which did not dry completely when DI water was used as a solvent in the SMPS system. Therefore, it is important to dry water droplets generated from atomizer in the SMPS system when measuring the particle size distribution using less than 100 nm nano-particles in diameter. From this study, It can be concluded that the napion was a useful material as dryer ones and using EAG(Electro Aerosol Generator) as a particle generator was the most effective in reducing the effect of water droplets.

In the current study, the effects of particle size on compaction behavior of water-atomized pure iron powders are investigated. The iron powders are assorted into three groups depending on the particle size; 20-45 , 75-106 , and 150-180 for the compaction experiments. The powder compaction procedures are processed with pressure of 200, 400, 600, and 800 MPa in a cylindrical die. After the compaction stage, the group having 150-180 of particle size distribution shows the best densification behavior and reaches the highest green density. The reason for these results can be explained by the largest average grain size in the largest particle group, due to the low plastic deformation resistance in large grain sized materials.

The blending effects of surfactants on the polystyrene emulsion polymerization were studied. The blending of Triton X-100 and SDS affects to the interfacial properties of the styrene monomer and water phases, and finally, the properties of the polystyrene latex particles. As the blending ratio of SDS/Triton X-100 increases, the interfacial tension and CMC of the blended surfactants were decreased and results in a reducing the size of the latex particles. It was found that the interfacial tension was reduced when the surfactant were blended. By increasing the SDS content, the interfacial tension was reduced, and, at a certain condition, the interfacial tension was reached to an extremely low value to form micro-emulsion and the nano-sized latex particles (80~110 nm).

Seasonal changes have been recognized in particle characteristics and forming characteristics of iron powder with insulated coating for a compacted magnetic core because of its high hygroscopicity, due to its phosphate coating and resin binder additives. For this reason, particle characteristics and molding characteristics of the powder with diverse water absorbtivity have been studied. The result shows that the higher the volume of absorbed water, the worse the fluidity becomes, resulting in the reduction in both springback during the molding process and expansion reduction after the heat treatment. The requirement on dimension accuracy for the finished product can be satisfied with an additional drying process on the material powder, which contributes to maintain its water volume constant.

To improve the properties of fine metal powder, such as particle size distribution and geometric standard deviation, this work was done at various atomizing conditions. The new atomization mechanism and the correlation equation were proposed to estimate the mean particle diameter.

Transport of bed load and suspended particle in coastal waters is main factor causing change in shoreline, and effective measurement method and appropriate equipment is required. To measure bed load and suspended particle transport an equipment was designed and manufactured, and it was applied in the field. The equipment consists of four main elements, body supporter, bed load and suspended particle sampler, sampler support and lock. Eight samplers were installed along the circumference of each supporter, and each sample is a 45-degree intervals. The field experiment was done once along Gyeongpo beach in August 2013. This note described the design and function of the equipment and results of field experiments.

The numerical experiments using a particle tracking model have been performed for predicting the change of water quality and shoreline. In present study, comparison of the numerical model results with the analytic solution shows that the point of the maximum concentration and the distribution pattern is very similar. The reflection effect from the boundary was newly introduced for making clear the effect of the closed boundary which set limits to application of a particle tracking model. The present model seems to reappear physical phenomenon well. This model shows well qualitative appearance of pollutant diffusion in Kwangan beach. Therefore, this model is regarded as a useful means for predicting diffusion of pollutant, movement of suspended sand, and change of water quality.
