A novel superabsorbent composite was prepared by intercalation polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propane sulfonic acid (AMPS) in the presence of montmorillonite (MMT), using ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator and $N,N'$-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a cross linker. The superabsorbent composite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Maximum absorbency of the composite in distilled water and 0.9% sodium chloride solution was 722 and 108 g/g, respectively. The composite was used for removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. Maximum amount of adsorption for $Ni^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$ and $Pb^{2+}$ was 211.0, 159.6 and 1646.0 mg/g, respectively, and the adsorption was in accordance with both Langmuir and Freundlich model. The composite could be regenerated and reused in wastewater treatment.

초임계이산화탄소를 이용하여 세라믹 사출성형체로부터 파라핀왁스를 제거하였다. 파라핀왁스는 세라믹사출성형 공정에서 바인더로 사용되는 물질이다. 파라핀왁스 제거의 최적조건을 찾기 위해 온도, 압력, 이산화탄소의 유량에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. 온도는 328.15 - 348.15 K, 압력은 15 - 30 MPa 범위에서 조절하였으며, 이산화탄소의 유속을 변화시켜가면서 파라핀왁스의 제거율을 측정하였다. 파라핀왁스의 제거율은 압력의 증가에 비례하였다. 온도는 파라핀왁스의 녹는점인 329.15K 이상일 때 파라핀왁스의 제거가 효과적이었고, 더 높은 온도에서는 더 이상의 효과가 없었다. 이산화탄소의 유량 증가에 따라 파라핀 제거율이 향상되었지만 어느 양 이상이 되면 더 이상 효과가 없었다. 파라핀왁스를 보다 더 효과적으로 제거하기 위해 프로판을 공용매로 사용하였다. 초임계이산화탄소에 프로판을 첨가했을 경우 제거율이 향상되었으며, 사출성형체의 구조나 모양에 어떠한 변화도 없이 파라핀왁스를 완전하게 제거할 수 있었다.

Novel copolymers consisting of poly(2-hydroxyethyl aspartamide-co-N,N'-dimethyl-1,3-propane aspartamide) (PHEA-DPA) were prepared from polysuccinimide (PSI), which is the thermal polycondensation product of aspartic acid, via a ring-opening reaction with N,N'-dimethyl-1,3-propane diamine (DPA) and ethanolamine. The prepared water-soluble copolymer was then crosslinked by reacting it with hexamethylene diisocyanate to provide the corresponding gel. The swelling behavior and morphology of the crosslinked hydrogels were investigated. The degree of swelling decreased with increasing crosslinking reagent due to the higher crosslinking density. It was also confirmed that the swelling property is affected by pH. At low pH (< pH 4), swelling is increased due to the ionization of DPA with a tertiary amine moiety. In addition, a reversible swelling and de-swelling behavior was demonstrated by adjusting the pH of the solution. The prepared hydrogels showed a well-interconnected microporous structure with regular 5-20 $\mu$m sized pores.

The thermocatalytic decomposition of methane is an environmentally attractive approach to $CO_2$-free production of hydrogen. The fluidized bed was proposed for the continuous withdraw of product carbon from the reactor. The usage of carbon black was reported as stable catalyst for decomposition of methane. Therfore, carbon black (DCC-N330) is used as catalyst. A fluidized bed reactor made of quartz with 0.055 m I.D. and 1.0 m in height was selected for the thermo-catalytic decomposition. The porpane-containg methnae decomposition reaction was operated at the temperature range of 850-900 $^{\circ}C$ methane gas velocity of 1.0 $U_{mf}$ and the operating pressure of 1.0 atm. In this work, propane was added as reactant to make methane conversion higher. Therefore we compared with methane conversion and pre-experiment methane conversion that using only methane as reactant. The carbon black, after experiment, was measured in particle size and surface area and analyzed surface of the carbon black by TEM.

This study has been performed to investigate into the internal oxidation characteristics of low carbon steel with respect to the added amount of air in nitrogen-propane atmosphere after gas carburizing for various times at $930^{\circ}C$. The results obtained from the experiment are as follows ; (1) Optical micrographs have shown that the internal oxidation is unlikely to occur in the gas atmosphere without air and that oxidized zone in the outer surface layer is formed in the gas atmosphere with air revealing that the depth of oxidized zone increases with increasing the added amount of air. (2) The formation of internally oxidized zone in the outer surface layer has been found to be inhibited as Ni content increases, i. e, the amount of alloying element increases. (3) The depth of oxidation has been measured to increase with almost parabolically gas carburizing time of up to 6 hours.

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), as high-temperature fuel cells, have various advantages. In some merits of SOFCs, high temperature operation can lead to the capability for internal reforming, providing fuel flexibility. SOFCs can directly use CH4 and CO as fuels with sufficient steam feeds. However, hydrocarbons heavier than CH4, such as ethylene, ethane, and propane, induce carbon deposition on the Ni-based anodes of SOFCs. In the case of the ethylene steam reforming reaction on a Ni-based catalyst, the rate of carbon deposition is faster than among other hydrocarbons, even aromatics. In the reformates of heavy hydrocarbons (diesel, gasoline, kerosene and JP-8), the concentration of ethylene is usually higher than other low hydrocarbons such as methane, propane and butane. It is importatnt that ethylene in the reformate is removed for stlable operation of SOFCs. A new methodology, termed post-reforming was introduced for removing low hydrocarbons from the reformate gas stream. In this work, activity tests of some post-reforming catalysts, such as CGO-Ru, CGO-Ni, and CGO-Pt, are investigated. CGO-Pt catalyst is not good for removing ethylene due to low conversion of ethylene and low selectivity of ethylene dehydrogenation. The other hand, CGO-Ru and CGO-Ni catalysts show good ethylene conversion, and CGO-Ni catalyst shows the best reaction selectivity of ethylene dehydrogenation.

Simplified mathematical formulas are presented to predict deformations during the plate forming process when the heating parameters are given. To obtain the formulas, firstly, the thermal analysis for steel plate is performed, and the thermo-mechanical analysis is followed with actual heating conditions. The analyses have been carried out by the commercial software MARC, which is programmed based on the FEM. Secondary, the results of the mechanical analysis are synthesized with their variables for a statistical approach, which results in simplified formulas. The results of the analysis are well compared with those of experimental measurements.

불활성가스 미분무소화설비의 실험용으로 제작된 $2.5m{\times}2.0m{\times}2.5m$ 크기의 화재시험실에 급기부족 여부를 확인하기 위해, 화재시험실 내 프로판가스 풀(pool) 화재에 대한 수치연구를 수행하였다. 결과의 일관성을 확인하기 위해 설계 화재규모인 60 kW와 그 2배인 120 kW에 대하여 창문의 개폐에 따른 온도 및 일산화탄소 농도의 변화를 조사하였다. 두 화재규모에서 모두 창문의 개폐가 온도 및 CO농도의 변화에 미치는 영향이 작음을 확인하였고, 따라서 급기부족의 발생이 없음을 알 수 있었다.
