The anion exchange membrane (AEM) water electrolysis for high purity hydrogen production is attracting attention as a next-generation green hydrogen production technology by using inexpensive non-noble metal-based catalysts instead of conventional precious metal catalysts used in proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis systems. However, since AEM water electrolysis technology is in the early stages of development, it is necessary to develop research on AEM, ionomers, electrode supports and catalysts, which are key elements of AEM water electrolysis. Among them, current research in the field of catalysts is being studied to apply a previously developed half-cell catalyst for alkali to the AEM system, and the applied catalyst has disadvantages of low activity and durability. Therefore, this review presented a catalyst synthesis technique that promoted oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) using a non-noble metal-based catalyst in an alkaline medium.

In this study, the removal efficiencies of heavy metals were evaluated using cockle, abalone, and scallop shells. Cockle, abalone, and scallop are composed mainly of aragonite, aragonite, and calcite, and calcite, respectively. The specific surface area of each shell varies from 2.7241 m²/g to 4.5481 m²/g and the order of that is scallop > abalone > cockle. All shells of cockle, abalone, and scallop had no As removal effect by adsorption and precipitation as pH increased. Pb was removed by all shell samples at initial reaction. Although the removal efficiency of Cd and Zn were depending on the reaction medium, that was increased in order of scallop > abalone > cockle. Heavy metal removal efficiency tends to be slightly higher for heated samples than with the raw materials, and higher as the specific surface area is larger.

본 연구에서는 실제 천연가스 구성성분인 메탄 (90%)+에탄 (7%)+프로판 (3%) 혼합기체를 사용하여 심해저 퇴적부에 존재하는 천연가스 하이드레이트 개발과 가스 하이드레이트 형성법을 이용한 천연가스 수송 및 저장법 개발을 위한 열역학적 특성을 살펴보았다. 천연가스 하이드레이트 개발 연구에서는 심해저 퇴적층의 영향을 살펴보기 위해 기공의 직경이 6.0, 15.0, 30.0, 100.0 nm인 다공성 실리카 젤을 사용하여 기공 직경에 따른 3상(하이드레이트 (H)-물 (LW)-기상 (V)) 평형을 측정하였다. 천연가스 하이드레이트 수송/저장법 연구에서는 천연가스 하이드레이트 형성 압력을 낮추어 줄 수 있는 열역학적 촉진제인 TBAB(농도: 5, 10, 40, 60 wt%)와 THF(농도: 1, 5.56, 10 mol%)를 첨가하여 각각의 농도에 따른 혼합 가스 하이드레이트의 3상 평형을 측정하였다. 그 결과 다공성 매질인 실리카 젤의 경우 기공 직경의 크기가 작아질수록 벌크상태의 하이드레이트에 비해 평형 온도는 낮아지고, 평형 압력은 높아져 저해효과가 커짐을 알 수 있었고, 열역학적 촉진제를 첨가했을 경우 TBAB의 농도가 40 wt%, THF의 농도가 5.56 mol%일 경우 촉진 정도가 가장 크게 나타났으며, 그 이상의 농도일 경우 가스 하이드레이트 형성 반응에 참여하지 않은 TBAB와 THF에 의해 오히려 촉진 정도가 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 $^{13}C$ NMR 분석을 통해 혼합 가스 하이드레이트의 격자 형성과 기체 포집에 따른 구조적인 변화에 대해서도 살펴보았다.

순수한 닉켈과 금 박막을 (III)규소 단 결정위에 진공 증착시켰다. Ni/Au/Si나 Au/Ni/Si시료를 진공중에서 약 55$0^{\circ}C$로 가열하였을 때 육방정 혹은 변형된 육방정의 미소 결정들이 규소 기질위에 형성되었다. 이들 미소 결정들의 형성과정 및 조성은 X-선 회절법, scanning electron microscopy 및 scanning Auger microprobe 법을 사용하여 결정하였다. 이들 미소 결정은 NiSi2임이 확인되었다. Ni/Au/Si 시료에서는 Au-Si 공융점(37$0^{\circ}C$) 이상으로 온도가 증가됨에 따라 닉켈과 규소가 Au-Si 공융체 속으로 이동한 후 반응하여 NiSi2를 형성하였다. Au/Ni/Si 시료에 있어서의 Au-Si 공융체 형성은 닉켈 박막에 있는 바늘구멍형의 표면 결함과 관련 지을 수 있겠다. 금이 닉켈 박막의 grain boundary를 통하여 Ni/Si 계면으로 확산되어 그 계면을 습윤시킨 다음 Au-Si 공융체를 형성하였다. 이런 Au-Si 공용체는 닉켈과 규소 원자에 대한 높은 확산 매질로서 작용하여 NiSi2 형성을 촉진시켰다. 표면에 평행한 (III)규소면 위의 NiSi2 미소 결정은 유사한 육방정으로 나타났으며, 경사진 미소결정은 부등변 사변형과 유사하였다. Auger 스펙트럼 및 Ni, Au 및 Si에 대한 내층조성(indepth Composition Profiles)은 NiSi2 미소 결정이 Au-Si 공융체의 matrix에 미소 부분으로 나타났음을 보여주었다.

Blast-induced ground vibration nay cause an environmental impact such as neighbour's complaints or damage on adjacent structures and facilities. Complaints associated with blasting have often become a target of public grievances. One of the difficulties to solve the problem is that we do not have a national standard for the acceptance level of blast-induced ground vibration. A peak particle velocity criterion, which was suggested for urbane underground construction, has often been widely used. Efforts have been made to establish more rational criteria. It seems that differing cultures have often differing thresholds of the toleration of vibration, and that technical data or rational grounds for establishing the limits are hardly provided. In this paper, national standards for allowable limit of blast vibration were presented and discussed.

The computational fluid dynamic analysis has been conducted for the thermo-chemical flow field in an arcjet thruster with mono-propellant hydrazine $(N_2H_4)$ as a working fluid. Coupled Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and Maxwell equations were used to account for the Ohm heating and Lorentz forces. ionization and thermal radiation effects were also incorporated to the fluid dynamic equations by assuming infinitely-fast reactions and optically thick media. In addition to the thermo-physical understandings of the flow field inside the arcjet thruster, results shows that performance indices are improved by amount of 20% in thrust and 70% in specific impulse with the 0.6kW are heating.

During the development of the iridium catalyst for domestic production, the catalyst failure, loss, sintering phenomena are observed by high pressure and temperature. By these abnormal failure of catalyst bed, the performance of thruster is degraded. To figure out the detail phenomena on the damaged catalyst bed, a numerical analysis code is developed by assuming the catalyst bed as an one dimensional porous media. The numerical analysis code is validated with experiment data. Thereby, resulting physical phenomena are examined by considering the variation of catalyst bed characteristics incurred by catalyst granule failure. Through these numerical analyses we figure out the effect of the catalyst loss on the decomposition of hydrazine and ammonia.

Water-insoluble sitosterol was biotransformed to AD(4-androstene-3, 17-dione) and ADD(1, 4-androstadiene-3, 17-dione) with crosslinked Mycobacteria sp. NRRL B-3683 in microemulsions. The Mycobacteria activity depended on the kinds of surfactants and water content. The activity was very high in cationic microemulsion (CTAB-buthanol-cyclohexane-water) and five times higher than that of buffer, but it showed a very low activity in anionic microemulsion. The Mycobacteria activity was increased as increasing as increasing water contents and in the microemulsion containing 20% water was doubled in the same microumulsion containing 5% water. We suggest that microemulsion is effective reaction medium for Mycobacteria bioconversion.

In this paper, thermal characteristics of a nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) catalytic reactor with packed-bed geometry are theoretically and numerically investigated. Several researchers experimentally presented that catalytic decomposition of $N_2O$ in a packed bed generates about 82kJ/mole in the exothermic reaction. Based on the results they have studied the catalytic decomposition of $N_2O$ in a packed bed to use it not only as a mono-propellant thrust for small satellites but also as an igniter system for hybrid rockets. So we aim to identify important parameters existing in an $N_2O$ packed-bed geometry, and to clarify its critical effect on thermal characteristics of the catalytic igniter using a porous medium approach.

Net type polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) media and cillium type polyethlene polypropylene (PEPP) media were installed in the aereted submerged biofilm reactors. Synthetic phenol wastewater for feed were made to contain 1,480 mg of phenol per liter of water. The organic loading range of reactors were 0.439-0.456 kg COD/m$_{3}$, 0.882 - 0.919 kg COD/m$_{3}$ and 1.199-1.339 kg COD/m$_{3}$. Comparing PVDC to PEPP media, the bacterial number found in biofilm on PEPP were slightly higher. With the low temperature (10$\circ$C), the number of bacteria was some what deceered. Number of bacterial strains identified from PVDC were 23 and those from PEPP were 42. Genera identified in the PVDC media were Flavobacterium (47.8%), Unidentified (17.6%), Pseudomonas (13.0%), Micrococcus (8.7%) and Beggratoa (8.7%). Genera identified in the PEPP media reactor were Pseudomonas (35.7%), Alcaligenes (19.0%), Aeromonas (14.33%) and Micrococcus (11.9%), In the steady, state, a filamentous bacteria, type 1701 was identified in all of the reactors. Paramecium sp. and fungi were present in the PVDC media reactor. While, Difflugia sp, Paramecium sp. and fungi were found in the PEPP media reactor. The low diversity of protozoa was ascribed to high concentration of phenol.
