The permeation characteristics and reclamation efficiency of waste lubricating oil were studied as a function of the types of ceramic composite membranes and the membrane separation process variables. The oil permeability of the TiO2 composite membrane(pore size 0.015 $\mu\textrm{m}$) was directly proportional to the crossflow velocity(0.22∼0.9 m/s) and temperature(150$^{\circ}C$∼200$^{\circ}C$). In the batch concentration process, as the concentration factor increased, both the permeability and the ash content of the permeate decreased. The average ash contents of the total permeate through the A6 alumina membrane(average pore size 0.8$\mu\textrm{m}$), Z1/A6 and Z1/A4(pore size 0.23$\mu\textrm{m}$)/A7(pore size 6$\mu\textrm{m}$) zirconia composite membrances(average pore size 0.07$\mu\textrm{m}$) were about 0.063 wt%, 0.045wt% and 0.08wt% in the region of 1∼2 concentration factor, respectively. The ash content of the mixed permeate through the A6 alumina and zirconia composite membrane was about 0.06 wt% and it can be also reduced to 0.06 wt% in the Z1/A6 membrane and below 0.003 wt% in the TiO2/Z1/A6 membrane. It was concluded that the treated oil obtained from the multi-step membrane separation process could be used as reclaimed lubricating oil as well as reclained fuel oil.

Chemically stable Polyvinylidene fluoride-hexa-fluoropropane (PVDF-HFP) copolymer asymmetric membranes were prepared by the conventional phase inversion process, using Dimethyacetamide (DMAc) as a solvent and water as a non-solvent. To control the pore size and porosity of the PVDF-HFP membranes, tetra-ethoxysilane (TEOS) was used as a pore-forming agent. The prepared membranes were characterized, using several analytical methods such as Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermo-gravimetric analyzer (TGA), Field Emission Scanning Electronic Microscopy (FESEM). TEOS turned out to increase porosity and make homogeneous pores on the membranes. Depending on the composition of the dope solutions, the pore size was ranged from 0.1 to 1.0 ${\mu}m$. The flux of the PVDF-HFP membranes prepared by using TEOS as a pore forming agent was increased substantially without much decrease in the rejection. When 15 wt% PVDF-HFP solution was blended with 13 wt% TEOS solution at composition ratio of 70/30 in wt%, the water flux at 2 bars was about 2 $m^3/m^2day$.

Histamine은 발효식품, 등푸른 생선 등 단백질이 많이 함유된 식품에서 잘 생성되는 물질로 이들 식품의 부패 시에는 다량의 histamine이 발생되어 이를 섭취하였을 때 독성을 일으킬 수 있기 때문에 histamine은 어육식품의 선도 저하 또는 부패의 지표로서 사용된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 신속하며 정확한 histamine 검출을 위한 바이오센서 시스템을 구축하기 위하여 기능화된 MWCNT와 Prussian blue를 사용한 전극을 제작하였으며, 여러 불용성 담체에 효소를 고정화시켜 바이오센서 시스템에 적합한 불용성 담체를 확인하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. MWCNT-$NH_2$와 Prussian blue가 도입된 전극의 과산화수소에 대한 감응도를 확인한 결과, 검출한계는 $0.1{\mu}M$으로 나타났으며, 각 담체의 효소 고정화도를 측정한 결과, CNBr-activated sepharose 4B는 48.5%, calcium alginate는 40.3%, controlled pore size glass beads는 51.0%를 보였다. 또한 CNBr-activated sepharose 4B, calcium alginate, controlled pore size glass beads로 제작된 효소반응기의 $100{\mu}M$ histamine에 대한 전극 감응도는 각각 120 nA, 110 nA, 140 nA로 나타났다. 따라서 담체의 coupling efficiency, 제작된 효소반응기의 전극 감응도, 선형 관계 등을 고려해 보았을 때 controlled pore size glass beads가 본 연구에서 구축된 바이오센서 시스템에서 가장 적합한 담체인 것으로 확인되었다. 이로써 이들 작업전극과 효소반응기로 구축된 바이오센서는 histamine을 감도 높고 신속하게 측정할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Porous barium-strontium titanate ceramics were fabricated by adding corn- or potato-starch (are referred to as starch). The effect of sintering temperature on the microstructure and electrical properties of the porous ceramics was investigated. The room-temperature electrical resistivity of the barium-strontium titanate ceramics decreased with sintering temperature. The porosity and pore size were decreased and the grain size was increased with increasing the sintering temperature. The porosity and grain size of the barium-strontium titanate ceramics with corn-starch sintered at 1300 and 1450$^{\circ}C$ were 28.5, 22.6% and 3.2, 6.2 $\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively. The average pore sizes of the barium-strontium titanate ceramics with corn-starch sintered at 1300, 1400 and 1450$^{\circ}C$ were 0.5, 0.3 and 0.2 $\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively. The decrease in the room-temperature resistivity with increasing sintering temperature is attributed mainly due to the increase of grain size and the decrease of the electrical barrier height of grain boundaries as well as the partial decrease of porosity.

Pd-based membranes have been widely used in hydrogen purification and separation due to their high hydrogen diffusivity and infinite selectivity. However, it has been difficult to fabricate thin and dense Pd-based membranes on a porous stainless steel(PSS) support. In case of a conventional PSS support having the large size of surface pores, it was required to use complex surface treatment and thick Pd coating more than $6{\mu}m$ on the PSS was required in order to form pore free surface. In this study, we could fabricate thin and dense Pd membrane with only $3{\mu}m$ Pd layer on a new PSS support manufactured by metal injection molding(MIM). The PSS support had low surface roughness and mean pore size of $5{\mu}m$. Pd membrane were prepared by advanced Pd sputter deposition on the modified PSS support using fine polishing and YSZ vacuum filling surface treatment. At temperature $400^{\circ}C$ and transmembrane pressure difference of 1 bar, hydrogen flux and selectivity of $H_2/N_2$ were $11.22ml\;cm^{-2}min^{-1}$ and infinity, respectively. Comparing with $6{\mu}m$ Pd membrane, $3{\mu}m$ Pd membrane showed 2.5 times higher hydrogen flux which could be due to the decreased Pd layer thickness from $6{\mu}m$ to $3{\mu}m$ and an increased porosity. It was also found that pressure exponent was changed from 0.5 on $6{\mu}m$ Pd membrane to 0.8 on $3{\mu}m$ Pd membrane.

난배양성 미생물의 배양과 보다 다양한 미생물의 분리를 위하여 Filter plate microbial trap (FPMT)을 개발하였고, 이 장치를 사용하여 Greenland의 토양에서 세균을 분리하였다. FPMT는 배지와 하단부의 membrane filter(0.45 ${\mu}m$ pore size)로 구성되어 있다. 시료에 포함된 세균과 화학물질이 FPMT 내로 이동하고, 세균이 증식하는 원리이다. 그 결과, FPMT를 이용한 새로운 in situ 배양방법을 통해 통상적인 Petri dish 배양방법보다 더 많은 종과 기존의 방법으로는 배양할 수 없는 세균을 분리하였다. 이 장치는 앞으로 다양한 환경에서 난배양성 미생물을 분리하는데 유용함을 확인하였다.

Agglomeration of Y-PSZ and its related properties were studied. The ultrafine $ZrO_2$ powder containg 3 mol% $Y_2O_3$ was prepared by 1) coprecipitation method b) hot petroleum drying method c) sol-gel method and the characteristics of calcined powders and the microstructures of sintered body were observed. Powder prepared by the coprecipitation method was about 125$\AA$ in crystallite size and 0.1~1.0${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of intra-agglomerate pore size when calcined at $600^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. because of small crystallite size and weak agglo merate strength resultant densification of sintered body was high. But above the temperature of 130$0^{\circ}C$ efflorescent phenomena due to anions attached to powder surface was observed. Powder prepared by hot petroleum drying method was 65$\AA$ in crystallite size and 1~10${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of intraagglome-rate pore size and it was observed that the agglemerates were formed during the calcining process. In this case despite of small crystallite size the rate of sintering was slow and the existing lenticular interagglomerate pore was not eliminated to the final stage of sintering. Powder prepared by sol-gel method showed solid agglomertes due to rapi dhydrolysis reaction. In this powder which involves strong solid agglomerates overall sintering rate was determined by the sintering between the agglomerates and therefore sinterability of powders made by sol-gel method was very poor.

에멀젼형 절삭유(Caltex, Trusol) 수용액을 공칭 세공크기가 0.22 $\mu$m 인 Millipore사의 GVHP 막과 0.2$\mu$m인 SUS 관형막(Mott 사)이 설치된 dead-end 및 십자형흐름 정밀여과 시스템으로 각각 분리하였다. 오일입자의 분포는 0.07 내지 0.22$\mu$m의 분포이었다. 투과유속을 예측하기 위하여 cake 여과모델 (CFM)과 standard pore blocking 모델(SPBM)을 적용하였다. Dead-end 시스템에서 0.01 vol% 절삭유 수용액을 400 rpm으로 교반시켜 투과시킬 경우, 100 kPa 이하에서는 CFM 이 투과유곡을 잘 나타내었으나, 150 kPa 이상에서는 SPBM을 적용할 수 있었다. 운전압력을 60에서 200 kPa로 갑자기 증가시키면 분리막 표면에 형성된 오일층이 파괴되고, 다시 60 kPa로 감소시킬 때 반복하여 오일층이 형성됨을 알 수 있었다. 투과기구가 CFM에서 SPBM 으로 전환되는 이른바 임계압력을 추정하였으며, dead-end system에서는 약 100 kPa이었다. Reynolds 수가 7080인 십자형흐름 시스템에서 농도를 0.01에서 0.03 vol%로 증가시키면 입계압력이 약 100에서 150 kPa로 증가하였다.

폴리다이아세틸렌(polydiacetylene: PDA)은 독특한 광학적 특성, 즉 외부자극에 의하여 파란색에서 빨간색으로 색상이 변화하는 동시에 형광이 없던 상태에서 자가형광을 발현하는 특성 때문에 화학, 바이오센서로써 응용하기 위한 많은 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 특히, 센서의 성능에서 감지하고자 하는 물질에 대한 우수한 민감도는 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 필터 사이즈를 이용하여 10,12-pentacosadynoic acid(PCDA) 베시클의 크기를 조절함과 동시에 중합온도를 조절하여 ${\alpha}$-사이클로텍스트린(CD)을 검출하여 두 가지 효과가 민감도 향상에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 조사하였다. 필터를 사용하지 않은 베시클과 0.22 ${\mu}m$로 필터한 베시클을 $25^{\circ}C$에서 고분자한 후에 ${\alpha}$-CD(5 mM)와 30분 반응하였을 때 색전이 정도(colorimetric response, CR)가 31.4%에서 74.0%로 증가하였다. 또한, 0.22 ${\mu}m$로 필터한 베시클을 $25^{\circ}C$와 $5^{\circ}C$에서 고분자한 후에 ${\alpha}$-CD(5 mM)와 30분 반응하였을 때 CR값이 74.0%에서 99.2%로 증가하였다. 이는 폴리다이아세틸렌의 크기와 고분자시 온도를 조절함으로써 민감도를 크게 증가시킬 수 있음을 보여준다. 또한, 폴리다이이아세틸렌은 감도 향상이 매우 중요한 바이오물질을 검출하는데 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

Conidia of molds within the Asian dust were captured in the ambient air of mid-west Korea, in springtime of 2000~2002. An eight-stage Cascade impactor and 0.22 $\mu\textrm{m}$ pore size membrane filters were used for the dust samples. Several kinds of molds grown from the samples were identified to the genus level. Those are Aspergillus, Basipetospora, Epicoccum, Fusarium, Monotospora and Penicillium. Relatively diversified mycelia of hyphomycetes were grown on the fine dust sample (1.1~2.1 $\mu\textrm{m}$) in the first year Asian dust episode (23~24 March, 2000). On the other hand, some fluffy molds and dark molds aggregations were grown on even the backup particle sample less than 0.43 $\mu\textrm{m}$ during the second year episode (24~26 April, 2001). The result of the last year episode (21~22 March, 2002) showed various mycelia grown on the sample contained from 1.1 to 2.1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ sized particles, just like the result of the first year episode (23~24 March, 2000). These variations between the episodes might be caused by the difference of the dust origins.
