단련용 다결정 Ni기 초내열합금은 우수한 가공성, 내산화성, 고온특성 등으로 가스터빈 연소기, 디스크, 증기발생기 전열관 등 발전용 고온부품 소재에 널리 적용되고 있다. 최근 발전설비의 고효율화를 꾀하기 위해 작동 온도를 현격히 증가시키는 기술방향으로 발전하고 있고, 소재측면에서는 기존의 초내열합금 대비 고기능성을 확보할 수 있는 차세대 Ni기 초내열합금 개발이 유럽, 미국, 일본, 중국 등을 중심으로 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 소재의 고온강도 (온도수용성)를 향상시키기 위해서는 통상 규칙격자 금속간화합물인 $Ni_3(Al,Ti)-{\gamma}'$상의 분율을 증가시킬 수 있지만, ${\gamma}'$상분율이 증가할 경우 용접 및 후열처리 동안 용접열영향부 (HAZ)에서 액화균열이 발생할 가능성이 높아진다. 결정립계를 따라 발생하는 HAZ 액화균열은 입계특성에 의해 크게 영향을 받을 것으로 판단된다. 한편, 본 연구자들은 최근 입계 serration 현상을 단련용 합금에 도입시키는 특별한 열처리를 이론적 접근법을 통해 개발하였다. 형성된 파형입계는 결정학적인 관점에서 조밀 {111} 입계면을 갖도록 분해 (dissociation)되어 낮은 계면에너지를 갖게 됨을 확인하였으며, 입계형상 변화뿐만 아니라 탄화물 특성변화까지 유도하여 크리프 수명을 기존대비 약 40% 정도 향상시킴을 확인하였다. 이러한 직선형 입계 대비 'special boundary'로 간주되는 파형입계가 도입될 경우, HAZ 결정립크기 변화 및 액화거동에 미치는 영향을 고찰하고, 아울러 입계특성 제어가 용접성/용접부 품질 향상에 기여할 수 있는 가능성도 토의하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 재현 HAZ 열사이클 시험을 통해 미세구조를 정량적으로 비교하였다. 상대적으로 입계구조가 안정된 파형입계의 이동속도가 高계면 에너지를 갖는 직선형 입계보다 느려 HAZ 결정립 성장이 효과적으로 억제됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 입계 액화거동을 살펴보면, 두 시편 모두 $M_{23}C_6$, MC 등 입계탄화물 계면이 빠른 승온중 액화반응 (constitutional liquation)에 의해 입계가 액화되었으며, 이후 급냉에 의해 입계에 액상막이 존재한 흔적이 발견되었다. 최고온도별로 입계액화 폭/비율을 정량적으로 비교한 결과, 파형입계가 직선입계 대비 대체로 낮음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 때때로 액화되지 않고 잔존하는 입계 탄화물이 관찰되었다. 재현 HAZ 미세조직을 통해 Hot ductility 시험 결과를 유추하자면, 파형입계가 직선입계 보다 좁은 취성온도영역 (Brittle Temperature Range)을 나타낼 것으로 예상되어, 입계특성제어에 의해 Ni기 초내열합금의 용접성을 향상 가능성을 확인하였다.

Nitrous oxide is a typical greenhouse gas which is produced from various organic or fossil fuel combustion processes as well as chemicals producing plants. $N_2O$ has a global worming potential of 310 times that of $CO_2$ on per molecule basis, and also acts as an ozone depleting material in the stratosphere. However, its removal is not easy for its chemical stability characteristics. Most SCR processes with several effective reducing agents generally require the operation temperature higher than $450^{\circ}C$, and the catalytic conversion becomes decreased significantly when NOx is present in the stream. Present experiments have been performed to obtain basic design data of actual application concerning the effects of $SO_2$ and $NH_3$ on the interim and long term activities of $N_2O$ reduction with CO over the mixed metal oxide (MMO) catalyst derived from a hydrotalcite-like compound precursor. The MMO catalysts used in the experiments, have shown prominent activities displaying full conversions of $N_2O$ near $200^{\circ}C$ when CO is introduced. The presence of $SO_2$ is considered to show no critical behavior as can be met in the $NH_3$ SCR DeNOx systems and the effect of $NH_3$ is considered to play as mere an impurity to share the active sites of the catalysts.

Pt-Sn with various ratios was supported on carbon black after pretreatment in an acidic solution by a reduction method. The Pt/Sn ratio was controlled by varying the concentration of each component in the solution, and the influence of the composition on the electrocatalytic activities was investigated. The crystallinity of the synthesized materials was investigated by XRD (X-ray Diffraction), and the oxidation states of both the platinum and tin were determined by XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy). SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy)-EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy) was utilized to examine the morphology and composition of the synthesized electrode, and the particle size of the Pt-Sn was analyzed by TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy). The electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction was evaluated in a 0.5 M $H_2SO_4$ solution using a rotating disk electrode system. The activity and stability were found to be strongly dependent on the electrode composition (Pt/Sn ratio). The catalytic activity and stability for methanol oxidation were also measured using cyclic voltammetry (CV) in a mixture of 0.5 M $H_2SO_4$ and 0.5 M $CH_3OH$ aqueous solution. The addition of proper amount of Sn was found to significantly improve both catalytic activity and stability for methanol oxidation.

수중방전은 다양한 라디칼을 직접 물 속에서 발생시키기 때문에 수처리 공정에 다양한 응용이 가능하다. 특히, 최근에 선박평형수 등의 살균이 국제적인 이슈가 되고 있고, 2017년까지는 모든 선박에 살균을 위한 수처리 설비가 의무화된다. 본 연구에서는 염분이 있는 수체에서의 방전공정을 연구하고 이를 수처리공정에 적용할 수 있는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 해수의 경우 전도도가 53mS로 자유로운 전하의 이동이 가능하기 때문에 일반적인 민물방전의 전원과 전극 등으로는 방전을 할 수 없다. 이에 세라믹과 금속의 이중구조로 되어 있는 모세관전극을 개발하여 전도성이 있는 수체에서의 방전을 이루었다. 전원장치로는 60 Hz, 380 V를 1차측에 인가하여 2차측에서 약 3 kV, 10 kW의 파워가 발생하는 12위상차 교류전원장치를 개발하여 사용하였다. 모세관 내부에 전압이 인가되면 전류가 발생하여 joule heating에 의하여 모세관 내부에 기포가 형성된다. 이 때, 전류의 단락이 이루어지면서 고전압쪽에 전하가 축적되며 기포내부의 E-field가 상승한다. 이후 기포 내에서 방전이 개시되며 각종 라디칼을 생성한다. 방전에 의해 생성되는 산화제로는 오존, OH라디칼, 과산화수소 등이 있으며, 해수에서는 Cl-의 결합에 의하여 Cl2 가스가 발생한다. 약 30,000 J/L의 체적에너지에 대하여 생성되는 총염소의 농도는 2.5 mg/L이다. 수중방전의 적용대상으로 선박평형수, 멤브레인과의 결합, 용존기포부상법을 선정하여 적용가능성을 연구하였다. 먼저 선박평형수 살균처리를 위해 해수의 처리유량을 20 lpm으로 유지하고 대장균, 바실러스, 조류(테트라셀미스) 등을 투입하여 전극 12개가 삽입된 12위상차 플라즈마 반응기를 통과시켰더니, 약 30,000 J/L의 체적에너지에 대하여 1일 후의 살균력이 각각 99.99, 99.99, 99.9%의 살균력을 나타내었다. 이는 국제해사기구에서 권장하는 살균수준인 99.9%를 초과하는 수치이다. 플라즈마를 이용한 해수살균공정의 안정적 운전을 위해 후단에 UF멤브레인을 추가하여 잔류생존 미생물을 제거할 수 있다. 이를 위해 플라즈마가 후단의 멤브레인 운전에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 카올린과 탄산칼슘을 오염원으로 각각 투입하여 멤브레인으로 처리를 하였을 때, 방전 직후 멤브레인에 걸리는 막간압력차가 약 30% 감소하였는데, 이는 막에 형성된 파울링이 방전에 의해 제거된 것으로 평가할 수 있다. 수중방전은 다양한 산화제를 생성함과 동시에 미세기포를 발생시키는데 이는 수중유기물의 부상분리에 적용될 수 있다. 방전모세관전극의 내부직경을 1 mm로 유지하고, 60 Hz, 교류전원으로 방전한 결과 평균입경 44 um의 기포를 발생시켰고, 이는 일반적으로 용존공기부상법에 사용되는 기포의 크기와 일치한다.

To provide baseline information essential for assessing environmental impacts of monsoon rainfalls in a mountainous watershed under mixed land use, we investigated spatiotemporal variations in water quality using a combined approach of seasonal water quality survey and intensive storm samplings. Biannual water sampling at nine locations encompassing major land use types showed generally lower electrical conductivity and Cl- concentrations during the typical wet period compared to the dry period, indicating rainfall-induced dilution of dissolved ions. Total metal concentrations, however, were significantly higher during the monsoon period, probably associated with rainfall-induced increases in suspended sediments. Intensive storm sampling during a small monsoon rainfall event (18 mm) and an extreme event (452 mm) showed rapid changes in both suspended sediments and dissolved solutes in an agricultural stream draining the Haean Basin where arable lands have expanded rapidly over the recent decades. By contrast, a nearby forest stream derived from North Korea showed little responses to the small event compared to larges changes during the extreme event. In the agricultural stream total Pb concentrations showed significant positive relationships with suspended sediments. Although limited sampling frequency and locations require a cautious interpretation, the overall results suggest that expansion of agricultural fields in steep mountainous watersheds can increase the susceptibility of soil erosion and its off-site environmental impacts under increasing rainfall variability and extremes.

Neutron induced prompt gamma activation analysis (PGAA) offers a nondestructive, sensitive and relatively rapid method for the determination of trace and major elements and is proven to be convenient for online analysis of minerals, metals, coal, cement, petrochemical, coating, paper as well as many other materials and products. The technique has found many uses in medicine, industry, research, security and the detection of contraband items. This report reviews the present status and future trends of the PGAA techniques. Requirements for the system are neutron source, high resolution HPGe detectors with a high-voltage power supply, an amplifier, analog-to-digital converter, and a multichannel analyzer for the detection and measurement of prompt ${\gamma}$-ray emit form the neutron capture elements. Introducing a ${\gamma}$-${\gamma}$ coincidence system also improves the quality of the ${\gamma}$-ray spectrum by suppressing the background created from the Compton scattering of high energy prompt ${\gamma}$-rays. A PGAA system using a $^{252}Cf$ neutron source is currently under construction for the on-line measurement of several elements in aqueous samples at KAERI. The system can be applied for the detection of chemical weapons and explosives as well as various narcotics.

This study is to examine the remained basis and the locational characteristics of manufacturing in Chonnam region. First, the locational characteristics of manufacturing in the peripheral region examined through theoretical discussions about manufacturing location. And the locational characteristics of the small and medium firms and large firms be studied as to understand the precedent characteristics of Chonnam region. Chonnam region have the precedent characteristics that the regional capital is not accumulated as Japen exploit agricultural products at a colonial period. And SOC, industry and technology are not developed as geographically Chonnam lesion turn aside the economics axis of Korea-Japen-America within a period of industrialization. Manufacturing firms have beer make up the traditional indigenous firms which base on local market, agriculture and marine products in Chonnam lesion. The characteristics of these firms mainly are food & drink, nonmetal industry that is composed of the small and medium sized firms. The industrial structure is changing to machinery, chemistry, electronics industry from food & drink, nonmetal industry. But these industry is making the simple products. In Chonnam region, these change of industrial structure was expanding to the inland or coast region from the neighhoring region of Kwangju metropolitan. The blanch factories of large enterprises that located in Chonnam region are not connected with small and medium sized firms. The small and medium sized firms are not developed. Because these large enterprises are the iron and steel industry or chemistry industry. So the large-manufacturing firms have characteristics of the capital intensive industry, and make up the monopolistic industrial space of fordist blanch factories.

Bromelain was purified from Korean pineapple, Ananas comosus, L. The enzyme was purified about 21 fold by DEAF-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration on Sephadex G-150. Purified enzyme was confirmed as active single band by polyacrylamide electrophoresis and the molecular weight was estimated to be about 22,000 by SDS-PAGE. The optimum pH and temperature were 6.0 and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. The range of its stability to the pH and temperature were respectively 5.0 to 7.0 and below $50^{\circ}C$. It was found that $Mn^{2+}$ increased the enzyme activity, whereas $Mg^{2+}\;and\;Fe^{2+}$ decreased it abruptly. The purified enzyme was inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzoic acid, indicating that reactive SH groups are required for the enzyme activity. The reaction of the enzyme followed typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics with Km value of $5.747{\times}10^{-4}\;M\;and\;Vmax\;of\;131.58\;{\mu}g/min$ for casein. When meat was treated with the enzyme, free soluble nitrogen and amino acid nitrogen increased as enzyme concentration increased.
