Peysistent oyganochlorine compounds (OCs) weve determined in sediments and bivalves from Gwangyang Bay. The concentrations of ∑PCB, ∑DDT, ∑HCH and ∑CHL in sediments were in the range of f 2.25∼11.4 ng g$\^$-1/, 0.16∼1.16 ng g$\^$-1/, nd∼0.51 ng g$\^$-1/, and 0.05∼0.79 ng g$\^$-1/, respectively. The overall OCs concentrations in sediments were below the effect range -median (ER-M) values toy benthic organisms suggested by NOAA (1991). Levels of PCB compounds a re relatively lower than other industrialized bays (Pusan Bay, Ulsan Bay, and Youngil Bay). OCs accumulated in bivalves were higher than those in sediments. In bivalves, the concentration ranges of ∑PCB, ∑DDT, ∑HCH and ∑CHL were 9.97∼31.7 ng g$\^$-1/, 7.54∼22.6 ng g$\^$-1/, 0.49∼2.0 ng g$\^$-1/, and 0.82∼7.32 ng g$\^$-1/, respectively. Relatively high PCB concentrations in both environmental matrices are found at the inner bay than the outer part, indicating that the sources of PCBs were located inside the bay. DDT compound showed relatively high concentrations in the vicinity of the mouth of river and urban area, whereas other organochlorine pesticides show homogeneous distributions over the bay. Homologue profile of PCB compounds shows that low-chlorinated congeners (especially, di-, tyi- and tetra-) are abundant in Gwangynng Bay, which is diferent from other areas in Korea.

In order to find the way to solve the problem of sewage sludge discharge into the ocean, the sludge solubilization by ultrasonic and the improvement methods of wastewater treatment process were studied. In the membrane bioreactor the sludge retention time was stepwise increased from 5.1 day to 442 days where the biomass average concentration has been increased from $c_B$=3.4 $gTSSL^{-1}$ to $c_B$=14.5 $gTSSL^{-1}$ respectively. At the same time, the biomass yield coefficients were reduced from 0.5-0.7 at SRT=5.1 day to 0.005-0.007 at SRT=442 days which means the reduction of sludge production. Oxygen mass transfer coefficients and ${\alpha}$-factor were investigated with changing stirrer speed to find the relation between the high biomass concentration and aeration efficiency in the propeller loop reactor. As a result of sludge solubilization, the solubilization of sludge by ultrasound was increased with increasing energy input and it led to improved anaerobic digestion rate with more biogas production than that of nonsolubilized sewage sludge.

Currently, 90 % of the world's population breathes air with a fine dust content exceeding the World Health Organization's annual average exposure limit (10 ㎍/㎥). Global efforts have been devoted toward reducing secondary pollutants and ultra-fine dust through regulations on nitrogen oxides released over land and sea. Domestic efforts have also aimed at creating clean marine environments by reducing sulfur emissions, which are the primary cause of dust accumulation in ships, through developing and distributing environment-friendly ships. Among the technologies for reducing harmful emissions from diesel engines, electrostatic precipitator offer several advantages such as a low pressure loss, high dust collection efficiency, and NOx removal and maintenance. This study aims to increase the durability of a ship by improving equipment quality through failure mode effects analysis for the preventive maintenance of an electrostatic precipitator that was developed for reducing fine dust particles emitted from the 2,427 kW marine diesel engines in ships with a gross tonnage of 999 tons. With regard to risk priority, failure mode 241 (poor dust capture efficiency) was the highest, with an RPN of 180. It was necessary to determine the high-risk failure mode in the collecting electrode and manage it intensively. This was caused by clearance defects, owing to vibrations and consequent pin loosening. Given that pin loosening is mainly caused by vibrations generated in the hull or equipment, it is necessary to manage the position of pin loosening.

Domestic laws such as Korea Marine Pollution Prevention Law which has been made and amended according to the conclusions and amendments of various international conventions, especially by MARPOL 73/78, were reviewed and compared with major contents of international conventions, and several alternative measures for legislating new laws or amending existing laws such as Korea Marine Pollution Prevention Law in accordance with new contents and recent amendments of existing and new international conventions were proposed. Annex VI of MARPOL 73/78 has been recently accepted in Korea Marine Pollution Prevention Law which should be applied to ships which are the moving point sources of air pollution at Sea rather than in Korea Air Environment Conservation Law which should be applied to automobiles and industrial installations which are the line and/or point sources of air pollution in land. International Convention for Ship's Ballast Water/Sediment Management should be accepted in Korea Marine Pollution Prevention Law or by a new law in order to prevent domes marine ecosystem and costal environment from the invasion of harmful exotic species through the discharge of ship's ballast water. International Convention for the Control of Harmful Anti-Fouling Systems on the Ships should be accepted in Korea Marine Pollution Prevention Law which should be applied to ships which are navigating in open sea and coastal waters rather than in Korea Noxious Chemicals Management Law. Basel Convention which shall regulate and prohibit inter-nations movements of noxious chemical substances should be accepted in Korea Marine Pollution Prevention Law in order to prevent the movement and transfer of scrap-purpose tanker ships containing bilge water of oil/water mixtures and chemicals remained on board from advanced countries to developing and/or underdeveloped countries and to conserve global marine environment after all.

Recently environment-friendly pellet boilers have interests as emissions of greenhouse gases are regulated internationally and energy security becomes more important to oil addicted countries including Republic of Korea. But the Korean market for pellet boilers is on the initial stage due to the high production costs relative to other conventional boilers. Hence the Korean government has supported financially and promoted the pellet boiler business. In this sense, it would contribute market stratergy and effective promotion policy for both of the government and private companies if we can forecast market shares of pellet boilers appropriately. For this purpose, this study surveyed potential consumers' preferences on pellet boilers among various alternatives using a choice experiment reflecting intangible costs. As the market share of new technology increases, intangible costs decline. According to different intangible cost scenarios, we experimented people's preferences on oil, gas, electric, and pellet boilers. A multinomial logit model was employed to estimate coefficient parameters of common attributes for various alternative boilers. Based on the estimates, we forecasted market shares of individual boilers. We found that as intangible costs decline, the market share of pellet boiler increase substantically while market shares of electric and gas boilers decrease dramatically. The market share of oil boiler did not change significantly. Meanwhile, as people are more rich, more educated, and exposed to advertisement on pellet boilers, the likelihood of choosing the pellet boiler increases.

반도체를 비롯하여 LCD, OLED와 같은 디스플레이 (FPD: Flat Panel Display) 분야는 국가 선도 사업으로써 발전을 거듭해오고 있다. 하지만 기술의 성숙도가 높아짐에 따라 최근 중국과 대만 업체와의 경쟁이 심화되고 있으며, 더불어 환경문제가 큰 이슈로 떠오르고 있어 신기술 개발을 통한 생산 수율 향상 및 친환경 공정 개발의 중요성이 커지고 있다. 반도체, 디스플레이 공정에서 생산 수율 저하의 주요 원인으로써 공정 중 발생하는 미세 오염 입자를 들수 있다. 반도체 및 디스플레이 공정에서 세정 기술은 전체 기술의 30% 이상을 차지하며 생산 수율 및 제품의 품질에도 큰 영향을 주는 공정이다. 세정 공정은 일반적으로 습식 세정 공정이 낮은 공정비용을 바탕으로 널리 적용되어 왔으나, 기판의 대형화와 패턴의 미세화에 따라 정밀한 세정 스펙이 요구되며 더불어 막대한 양의 초순수와 화학액의 사용으로 인한 공정비용 증가와 환경 규제 강화에 따른 폐수 처리의 문제에 직면하고 있다. 이에 따라 폐수의 양을 줄이며 건조공정을 필요로 하지 않아 공정비용을 줄일 수 있는 건식 세정 공정에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 되고 있다. $CO_2$ snow jet 세정 기술은 건식 공정으로써 $CO_2$ 가스를 특수하게 제작된 분사 노즐에서 고압으로 가스를 분사하여 이 때 발생되는 순간적인 감압에 의한 단열 팽창으로 생성된 $CO_2$ snow 입자가 기판 표면의 오염물과 물리적 충돌을 하어 세정이 이루어지는 기술이다. 특히 $CO_2$ 세정은 환경과 인체에 무해하며 공정 후 바로 승화하기 때문에 추가적인 폐수처리 공정 등이 필요하지 않고, 건식 공정으로써 수세(Rinse) 공정을 필요로 하지 않기 때문에, 공정비용을 크게 줄일 수 있으며 물반점 발생을 방지 할 수 있는 친환경 건식 공정으로써의 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 자체적으로 개발한 $CO_2$ snow jet을 바탕으로 하여 다양한 공정조건을 변화시켜 세정효율을 측정하는 한편, 최적화 하기 위한 연구를 진행하였으며 더불어 $CO_2$ snow의 세정력을 정량적으로 평가하기 위한 연구를 진행하였다. 실험을 통해 가장 효과적으로 $CO_2$ snow 입자를 배출 할 수 있는 공정 조건으로써 5 bar의 캐리어 가스 압력을 사용하여, 세정력에 가장 큰 영향을 줄 수 있는 분사 노즐과 기판 사이의 거리 및 분사 노즐의 각도 등을 변화시켜 각 조건에 따른 세정효율을 평가하였다. 세정 오염물은 Silica, PSL 표준 입자(Duke scientific, USA)를 정량적으로 웨이퍼에 오염 시킨 후, 파티클 스캐너(Surfscan 6500, KLA-Tencor, USA)를 이용하여 세정 전 후의 오염입자 개수 변화를 통해 정량적으로 세정효율을 평가하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 $CO_2$ snow jet를 이용한 친환경 고효율 건식 세정 공정 메커니즘을 분석하였으며, 노즐과 기판 사이의 간격 및 분사 노즐의 각도 등을 최적화 한 세정 공정을 얻을 수 있었다.

Recently, as the fine dust is increased and the emission regulations of diesel engines have been tightened, interest in diesel soot filtration devices has rapidly increased. There is specifically a demand for the technological development of higher diesel exhaust gas after-treatment device efficiency. As part of this, many studies were conducted to increase exhaust gas treatment efficiency by improving the flow uniformity of the exhaust gas in the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and reducing the pressure drop between the inlet and the outlet of DPF. In this study, the effects of pressure drop by the flow rate and temperature of exhaust gas, DPF I/O ratio, Ash, and PM amount in diesel reduction device were simulated via a 12" diameter DPF and diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) using ANSYS Fluent. As the flow rate and temperature decreased, the pressure drop decreased, whereas the PM amount affected the pressure drop more than the ash amount and the pressure drop was lower in anisotropic DPF than isotropic DPF. In the case of DPF flow uniformity, it was constant regardless of the various variables of DPF. In ESC and ETC conditions, the filtration efficiency for PM was similar regardless of anisotropic and isotropic DPF, but the filtration efficiency for PN (particle number) was higher in anisotropic DPF than isotropic DPF.

The purpose of this paper analyzes the characteristics of economic space in Gyeonggi border regions. Especially, this study focuses on understanding the environment enveloped the enterprises because today, largely influenced factor for regional economic development is enterprises. Since 1990's the change of the spacial organization in Korean Capital region has been inducing the functional transformation in Gyeonggi border regions so that new function -beyond military functions- is developed in these regions. By the disindustrialization in core region contributed to the industrialization in periphery, border regions are developed as a concentrated space of traditional industries and small size manufactural firms. The most important pull factor is facility for obtain a factory site and favorable condition of land price. Globally, the reasons to locate enterprise in these regions are found not in positive and progressive strategies but in passive and defensive strategies. Therefore few enterprise carried about influences of economic cooperation between North and South Korea at the moment of decision of their site. The survey reveal that enterprises didn't highly estimate the environment in border regions as their business activities. The first dissatisfied condition is insufficiency of labour and difficulty of access for administrative and high level services, due to geographical separation. Considering the recent tendency of spacial reorganization in Capital region is not always good for border regions, border regions have to employ a policy with the object of ameliorating regional business environments and growing up a potentiality of endogenous development.

Flue gas desulfurization gypsum is produced from emission process of fossil fuel power plant to remove sulfur dioxide ($SO_2$) from exhaust gas. Production of flue gas desulfurization gypsum in Republic of Korea has been increasing due to the enforced regulations by government agency. Since flue gas desulfurization gypsum has characteristic that is similar to that of natural gypsum, there is a strong possibility for flue gas desulfurization gypsum to replace the role of natural gypsum. However, consumption of such material is still limited, only used for agricultural purposes or to make gypsum boards, it is necessary to expand the use of this material more aggressively. In this research, the chemical and mineralogical properties of flue gas desulfurization gypsum were investigated, and flue gas desulfurization gypsum with heat treatment was used to make cement paste. According to the results, it was found that flue gas desulfurization gypsum used in this experiment was a very high purity gypsum, and shown to have similar property to that of natural gypsum. Heat treating flue gas desulfurization gypsum above $100^{\circ}C$ was shown to bring beneficial effect on both compressive strength and drying shrinkage

1979년 3월 Three Mile Island 2 (TMI-2) 발전소에서 사고가 발생했을 때 원자로용기내에 생성된 수소기체로 인하여 운전원은 원자로용기의 수위를 정확히 측정할 수 없었으며, 이로 인하여 사고상태를 신속히 파악하지 못하였다. TMI 사고이후 미국 원자력규제위원회 NRC는 이 같은 문제점을 해결하고자 미국내 모든 원전에서 사고 또는 비정상 조건이 발생할 경우에 원자로 용기 수위에 대하여 운전원이 신뢰성을 갖을 수 있는 후속조치를 수행토록 요구하였다. 또한 미국의 대표적인 전력연구소인 EFRI에서는 개량형 경수로 (Advanced Light Water Reactor : ALWR) 설계 요건으로 이러한 설계가 반영되도록 요건화 하였다.［1］. 본 논문에서는 2,825 MWt급 한국형 표준원전을 대상으로 EPRI에서 요구한 설계요건에 따라 TMI 2 발전소에서와 같은 사고로 인하여 수소기체가 발생했을 경우와 발전소가 비정상 상태로 인하여 증기가 발생했을 경우에, 이를 신속히 제거하여 운전원이 원자로용기의 수위를 정확히 감지할 수 있도록 하는 설계 방안을 검토하였다. 따라서, 설계방안으로 원자로용기에 모인 증기 또는 수소기체를 계통중 가장 높은 위치에 있으며, 계통구성 기기중 유일하게 2상을 유지하고 있는 가압기로 배출시키고자 두 기기간에 연결관을 설치하는 방안에 대해서 분석하였다. 원자로용기 상부해드와 가압기를 연결하는 방안은 여러가지가 있으나, 검토한 결과 한국형 표준원전에서는 연결관을 가압기 상부해드보다 4m 높게하여 원자로용기 상부해드와 연결하는 방안이 EPRI의 설계요건을 만족하면서 기존설계에 영향을 가장 적게 미치는 적합한 설계방안으로 분석되었다.크다는 단점이 있다.TEX>$_2$O$_3$ 흡착제 제조시 TiO$_2$ 함량에 따른 Co$^{2＋}$ 흡착량과 25$0^{\circ}C$의 고온에서 ZrO$_2$와 $Al_2$O$_3$의 표면에 생성된 코발트 화합물을 XPS와 EPMA로 부터 확인하였다.인을 명시적으로 설명할 수 있다. 둘째, 오류의 시발점을 정확히 포착하여 동기가 분명한 수정대책을 강구할 수 있다. 셋째, 음운 과 정의 분석 모델은 새로운 언어 학습시에 관련된 언어 상호간의 구조적 마찰을 설명해 줄 수 있다. 넷째, 불규칙적이며 종잡기 힘들고 단편적인 것으로만 보이던 중간언어도 일정한 체계 속에서 변화한다는 사실을 알 수 있다. 다섯째, 종전의 오류 분석에서는 지나치게 모국어의 영향만 강조하고 다른 요인들에 대해서는 다분히 추상적인 언급으로 끝났지만 이 분석을 통 해서 배경어, 목표어, 특히 중간규칙의 역할이 괄목할 만한 것임을 가시적으로 관찰할 수 있 다. 이와 같은 오류분석 방법은 학습자의 모국어 및 관련 외국어의 음운규칙만 알면 어느 학습대상 외국어에라도 적용할 수 있는 보편성을 지니는 것으로 사료된다.없다. 그렇다면 겹의문사를 [-wh]의리를 지 닌 의문사의 병렬로 분석할 수 없다. 예를 들어 누구누구를 [주구-이-ν가] [누구누구-이- ν가]로부터 생성되었다고 볼 수 없다. 그러므로 [-wh] 겹의문사는 복수 의미를 지닐 수 없 다. 그러면 단수 의미는 어떻게 생성되는가\ulcorner 본 논문에서는 표면적 형태에도 불구하고
