The rapid advancement of the high-tech electronics industry has led to a significant increase in high-concentration ammonia wastewater. Various methods have been attempted to reliably treat wastewater containing high concentrations of ammonia, but no successful technology has yet been developed and applied. In this study, the removal efficiency and characteristics of ammonia nitrogen was evaluated according to changes in temperature, air loading rate, and liquid loading rate using a closed circulation countercurrent packed tower type demonstration facility for wastewater containing high concentrations of ammonia generated in the high-tech electronics industry. The temperature was varied while maintaining operating conditions of a wastewater flowrate of 20.8 m³ h^-1 and an air flow rate of 18,000 Nm³ h^-1. The results showed that at temperatures of 45,50,55, and 60℃, the removal efficiencies of ammonia nitrogen (NH₃-N) were 87.5%, 93.4%, 96.8%, and 98.7%, respectively. It was observed that temperature had the most significant impact on the removal efficiency of NH₃-N under these conditions. As the air loading rate increases, the removal rate also increases, but the increase in removal efficiency is not significant because droplets from the absorption tower flow into the stripping tower. Even if the liquid loading rate was changed by ±30%, the removal rate did not change significantly. This does not mean that the removal rate was unaffected, but was believed to be due to the relatively high air load rate. Through demonstration research, it was confirmed that ammonia stripping is a reliable technology that can stably treat high-concentration ammonia wastewater generated in the high-tech electronics industry.

The feasibility of the use of porous fossil diatoms for indoor air pollution control was investigated via the characterization of physical and chemical properties. The fossil diatoms were observed by SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope). Diatomite had well-distributed pores below 5 nm and relatively large surface area compare to sericite. However, no porosity in sericite was found. Results showed that diatomite had better performance than sericite in respect to porosity and large surface area. But diatomite which is thermally treated at $950^{\circ}C$ has no porosity and low surface area because of combustion of fossil diatoms or calcination of inorganic oxide at high temperature, and has poor adsorption capability of ammonia gas. In conclusion, porous diatomite has relatively high performance to adsorb noxious chemical compounds, such as ammonia gas and VOCs.

Direct coating of catalyst layer on the $Nafion^{(R)}$ membrane has been optimized in the process of fabrication of membrane electrode assembly (MEA) to enhance the performance of direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). In this method, the contact resistance at the interface of the catalyst layer and the membrane was found to be low. The effect of catalyst loading, thickness of membrane and the gas diffusion layer (GDL) with or without the presence of micro-porous layer (MPL) on the performance of the MEA was also investigated. The MEA fabricated by the above-mentioned method exhibited a performance of $147\;mW/cm^2$ and $100\;mW/cm^2$ at $80^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively, with the catalysts loading of $4\;mg/cm^2$.

Rapid expansion of supercritical solution (RESS) process was used to make molsidomine (MOL) loaded peracetyl-β-cyclodextrin (PAc-β-CD) nanoparticles, which were collected into the air. The effect of the concentration of the drug PAc-β-CD (0.5 and 1 wt%), extraction temperature (45 ~ 60 ℃), nozzle length (5 ~ 20 mm) and internal diameter (ID) (50 ~ 150 μm) of a capillary, and spray distance on the particle size and morphology of the resulting particles were investigated. The interaction of a drug and PAc-β-CD was confirmed by ¹H-NMR spectroscopy while the particle size was measured by means of a scanning electron microscope. It was found that increasing the temperature from 45 ℃ to 60 ℃ and decreasing the nozzle diameter from 150 μm to 50 μm had an increasing effect on the average particle size, while increasing the spray distance led to a decrease in the average particle size at a constant pressure of 34.5 MPa and temperature of 45 ℃. With 0.5 wt% of PAc-β-CD, the capillary nozzle of short length (5 mm) and small ID (50 μm) gave the smallest size (165 nm). The obtained nanoparticles showed increased dispersity and solubility in oil. The oil suspension of the inclusion complex showed increased sustainability, which can increase the in-vitro controlled release time of the drug.

A road structure washing vehicle equipped with a 4 HP, 80 LPM ultrafine bubble generator was used to clean a tunnel wall and the surface of the surrounding structure, consisting of concrete and tiles, in a heavy traffic area around an apartment complex in the city. Ultrafine bubbles were generated by supplying air at 2 to 3 LPM and using a specially designed nozzle, whereas fine bubbles made by an impeller in a gas-liquid mixing self-priming pump were produced with an average diameter of 165.4 nm and 6.81 × 107 particles mL-1. Using a high pressure washer gun that can perform high-pressure cleaning at 150 bar and 30 LPM, ultrafine bubbles were used to wash dust adsorbed on the surface of the road structures. The experimental analysis was divided into before and after washing. The samples were analyzed by applying ISO 8502-3 to measure surface contamination of dust adsorbed on the surface. Using the transparent tape attached to the surface, the removal rate was calculated by measuring the weight of the dust, and the number of particles was calculated using the gravimetric method and the software, ImageJ. The results of the experiment showed that the number of dust particles adsorbed on the tile wall surface before and after washing were 3,063 ± 218 particles mL-1 and 20 ± 5 particles mL-1, respectively, with weights of 580 ± 82 mg and 13 ± 4 mg. Particles on the surface of the concrete structure before and after washing were 8,105 ± 1,738 particles mL-1 and 39 ± 6 particles mL-1, respectively, with weights of 1,448 ± 190 mg and 118 ± 32 mg.

일반적 의미의 소수력발전은 계곡이나 저낙차의 하천에서 시도되었으나, 한국의 지형과 강수패턴등은 소수력발전을 활성화하기에 어려운 점들이 있었다. 이에 최근에는 정수장, 하수처리장등과 같은 인공구조물에 소수력발전을 설치 운영하는 방향으로 가고 있으며, 특히 화력발전소 냉각공정에 사용되는 해수를 이용한 소수력발전이 크게 성공하였고 확대설치 되어가고 있다. 해안에 위치하는 LNG인수기지에서는 LNG의 기화에 해수를 열원으로 사용하며, 기화공정에서 열교환 후 바다에 배출된다. 이 때 기화해수와 공기와의 접촉으로 생성된 거품은 해양미생물과의 복합작용으로 쉽게 깨어지지 않고 바다로 떠내려가게 된다. 이러한 거품은 시각적 거부감으로 인하여 인근어민들의 불편함을 야기하고 있으며, 또한 배출해수와 일반해수와의 온도차로 인한 인근 어장이나 양식장의 어획고에 미칠 수 있는 부작용의 가능성에 대한 우려는 더욱 방류해수의 적절한 처리를 필요로 하고 있다. 이러한 방류해수의 거품생성을 해결하는 데 있어 근본적인 해결방법은 심층배수법인데, 심층배수 구조물에 발전수차를 추가 설치만 하면 수력발전이 가능하다. 방류해수의 거품관련 환경문제를 해결하면서 동시에 청정전력을 생산할 수 있는 해양소수력발전에 대하여 KOGAS에서는 LNG 인수기지에의 적용가능성을 분석하고 있으며, 방류해수의 낙차와 조수간만의 차를 이용하는 해양소수력발전을 LNG 인수기지에의 적용하는 것으로는 세계최초의 시도이다. 주변지형에 따른 입지여건을 분석하고, 해수계통분석, 소수력발전방법, 수차종류, 수차용량, 수차개수, pond의 크기등을 결정하고, 수리해석 및 경제성분석을 수행할 것이며 소수력발전의 타당성여부에 대한 가늠을 잡고자 한다.

In order to enhance combustion efficiency and reduce atmosphere pollutants, it is essential to measure carbon monoxide (CO) concentration precisely in combustion exhaust. CO is the important gas species regarding pollutant emission and incomplete combustion because it can trade off with NOx and increase rapidly when incomplete combustion occurs. In the case of a steel annealing system, CO is generated intentionally to maintain the deoxidation atmosphere. However, it is difficult to measure the CO concentration in a combustion environment in real-time, because of unsteady combustion reactions and harsh environment. Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS), which is an optical measurement method, is highly attractive for measuring the concentration of certain gas species, temperature, velocity, and pressure in a combustion environment. TDLAS has several advantages such as sensitive, non-invasive, and fast response, and in-situ measurement capability. In this study, a combustion system is designed to control the equivalence ratio. Also, the combustion exhaust gases are produced in a Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)/air flame. Measurement of CO concentration according to the change of equivalence ratio is confirmed through TDLAS method and compared with the simulation based on Voigt function. In order to measure the CO concentration without interference from other combustion products, a near-infrared laser at 4300.6 cm^-1 was selected.

In this study, chlorophylls were been extracted from common local plants, deposited on polypropylene (PP) substrate using various approaches, and the oxygen generation effect of the chlorophylls were investigated. The loading of chlorophylls on the substrates was achieved by dipping and spraying methods, where the spraying coating showed overall better results regarding oxygen generation from the combustion experiments in the closed vessel or in the isolated vacuum oven cell than those of dip coating. In addition, a composite substrate was prepared by nylon6/6 nanofiber on the PP substrate, and it exhibited an increase in the activation of chlorophylls. In the case of samples containing titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$), the reaching time of oxygen concentration from 16% to 21% and the combustion test using a candle for a sample with 50% chlorophylls showed similar results to those of a sample without $TiO_2$. As such, combining a spray coating and $TiO_2$ incorporation into gas separation membrane systems are expected to be useful to understand the fundamentals of material properties for their applications as oxygen generation membranes and air filtration systems.
