This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of humic substances and the fractional distribution of organic nitrogen in Korean paddy soils. The results are obtained as follows: 1. The content of humus in soils used was 665-2680 mg/100g and the average contents of humic acid in normal paddy soils and in sandy paddy soils were 1436 mg/100g, 970 mg/100g respectively. 2. The humic acid diagrams classed by Kumada method belong to B type, P type and Rp type. 3. The content of Mineral - N to Total - N was 1.04-2.86% and the average contents of that in sandy paddy soils and in normal paddy soils were 1.72% and 1.75% respectively. 4. The fractionations of acid hydrolysable organic - N in sandy paddy soils were Amino acid - N (31.52%), Humin - N (20.63%), Amino sugar - N (18.70%), and Unknown - N (25.73%).

To manufacture MG-Si (Metallurgical grade silicon) for use in various industries, Acid leaching experiments were performed to remove aluminum (Al) and iron (Fe), which are the most common impurities found in the silicon raw material. The silicon raw material was reacted with five types of acids (HCl, HF, H2SO4, HNO3, H3PO4) at 1, 2, 4, and 6M; 1M HF showed the highest Al and Fe removal rates, 97.9% and 95.2%, respectively. HF, however, resulted in an 18% reduced yield due to the silicon corrosion properties. To minimize the yield reduction, 2M HCl, which has a second removal ratio result, was mixed with 1M HF and applied to the silicon raw material. The experiment was conducted to select the optimal conditions for the mixed solution, which were $80^{\circ}C$ and 2hr. Under the optimal conditions, the residual Al and Fe concentrations were 141 ppmw and 93 ppmw, respectively, and it very easy to produce MG-Si with 3N grade purity.

The effect of physico-electrochemical properties of carbon bipolar plate(BPP) on hydrogen and formic acid fuel cell performance has been investigated. BPP made of conventional graphite and carbon fiber composite were compared with the factors of interfacial contact resistance (ICR), corrosion behaviours, and hydrophobicity. Among them, the ICR of carbon fiber composite BPP has 50% higher than conventional graphite and the surface of carbon fiber composite BPP became rougher due to weaker corrosion resistance. Fuel cell performance was strongly dependent of ICR value of carbon bipolar plate.

Biodiesel is a fuel produced in the form of a fatty acid methyl ester by using raw materials such as animal fat, vegetable oil and its by-products, and is being seen as a biofuel that can replace petroleum energy. However unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters in biodiesel causes to oxidize during storage and distribution, resulting in poor fuel quality and corrosion of vehicle engine components. In this study, the influence of quality and oxidation characteristics of biodiesel on the oxidation stability is investigated and the evaluation method related it is described. We also propose a method to improve the drawback of oxidation stability in biodiesel.

In the process of long-term use of PEMFC (Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells), chemical degradation of membrane electrode assembly (MEA) occurs due to corrosion of stack elements and contamination of supply gas. In this study, we investigated whether chemically degraded MEA can be recovered by acid washing. The performance was measured and compared in a PEMFC cell after contamination with iron ions and washing with an aqueous sulfuric acid solution. The performance was reduced by about 25% by 0.5 ppm iron ion contamination, and 97.1% performance recovery was possible by washing of 0.15 M sulfuric acid. The membrane resistance was increased due to iron ion contamination of the polymer membrane, and the ionic conductivity was restored by washing the iron ions from the membrane while minimizing the loss of the electrode catalyst by washing with a low-concentration sulfuric acid aqueous solution. The possibility of solving the decrease in durability caused by chemical contamination of PEMFC MEA by the acid washing was confirmed.

갈수량은 연간 355번째에 해당하는 일유량으로 연중 10일은 유지할 수 있는 유량을 의미한다. 갈수량은 하천유지유량을 결정하고 다목적댐의 이수안전도를 평가하는 기준으로 활용되는 지표로 활용되고 있으나 현재 기준으로는 과거사상에 초점을 맞추어 산정되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기후변화에 따른 수문사상의 변화로 인한 미래 극한사상에 대비한 평가기준 마련을 위하여 CMIP5의 GCM 자료를 활용한 한강수계의 소양강댐의 실제증발산량을 추정하고, 이를 고려한 갈수량을 전망하고자 한다. 실제증발산의 경우 관측자료가 부재하므로 증발산 보완관계 가설 기반의 간접계산을 통해 추정하였으며, 잠재증발산량은 FAO Penman-Monteith 공식, 습윤증발산량은 Priestley-Taylor공식을 활용하여 산정하였다. 기준기간(1974-2000년) GCM 자료의 보정은 강우 및 증발산에 대하여 정상성 분위사상법을 적용하였으며, 우리나라의 홍수기 특성을 반영하기 위하여 홍수기(6~9월) 및 비홍수기(10~5월)로 구분하였다. 소양강댐 유역에 대한 연단위 원시 GCM의 경우, 연단위 강우와 실제증발산 각각 -20.0%, +17.3%의 오차율을 보였으나, 지역오차보정 후 각각 -1.2%, -0.2%로 개선되었다. 전망기간(2011-2100년)에 대해서는 비정상성 분위사상법을 적용하였으며, 지역오차보정 과정을 거친 강우 및 실제증발산 자료는 장기유출모형의 입력자료로 활용되었다. 실제증발산을 고려한 유출량을 산정하기 위해 IHACRES 모형을 활용하였으며, 갈수량은 모형으로부터 산정된 유출 시계열에 대한 lognormal 분포의 누적확률밀도함수의 3%에 해당하는 값으로 결정하였다. 전망결과는 근미래(Near future, 2011~2040년), 중미래(Midcentury future, 2041~2070년), 먼미래(Distance future, 2071~2100년)로 나누어 제시하였으며, 미래구간별 추세를 반영한 증감율을 제시하였다.

봉공처리법은 다공성 알루미나를 제조 후에 내마모성의 증가, 침지된 염료의 봉인 등을 필요로 하여 이용하는 후처리 공정 중 하나이다. 상업적으로는 물 봉공처리나 니켈-아세트산 용액을 이용한 봉공처리를 주로 이용하지만 고온을 필요로 하거나 인체에 유독한 용액을 사용, 혹은 추가적인 봉공처리를 해주어야 한다는 단점들을 가지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 독성이 적고 상온에서도 다공성 알루미나와 쉽게 반응할 수 있는 알루미늄 음이온 용액을 봉공처리에 이용하였다. 알루미늄 음이온 용액을 이용한 봉공처리는 알루미늄의 양극 산화를 진행한 이후에 알루미늄 음이온을 포함한 봉공처리제를 제조 후, 침지 처리하는 방식으로 봉공처리하였다. 봉공처리제의 pH 변화, 온도 변화, 침지 시간 등의 변수 요소에 따라서 최적화를 진행하였으며, 이 용액으로 봉공처리가 가능한지 주사 전자 현미경 분석을 통해 평가하였다. 이후 최적화된 조건과 기존에 상업적으로 사용하던 봉공처리법을 거친 후에 경도, 부식전위 검사, 내화학성 검사를 통해 성능의 변화를 확인하였으며 광전자 분광기를 통해 성분과 메카니즘을 예측하였다.

The stress corrosion cracking(SCC) and hydrogen embrittlement cracking(HEC) characteristics of a weathering steel weldment were investigated in aerated acid-chloride solution. The electrochemical properties of weldment were investigated by polarization test and galvanic corrosion test. Weathering steel did not show passive behavior in the acid-chloride solution. Galvanic corrosion between the weld metal and the base metal was not observed because the base metal was anodic to the weld metal. The slow-strain-rate tests(SSRT0 were conducted at a constant strain rate o 7.87×{TEX}$10^{-7}${/TEX}/s at corrosion potential, and at potentiostatically controlled anodic and cathodic potentials. The weldment of weathering steel was susceptible to both anodic dissolution SCC and hydrogen evolution HEC.
