마그네슘 합금을 생체재료로 사용되는데 두가지 중요한 문제점을 가지고 있다. 매우 빠른 부식을 가지고 있으며, 초기 빠른 부식으로 수소기체를 발생하여 인체 내 피부나 골조직의 괴사를 동반한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 생체적합성이 뛰어난 아노다이징 방법을 개발 하였으며, 새롭게 개선된 방법의 특징을 비교하기 위해 이번 실험에서는 불화물이 포함된 전해액으로 아노다이징 처리한 샘플을 제조하여 형태학 분석을 진행 하였고, Hank's solution(생체모사용액)을 사용하여 부식 특성을 분석하였다. 또한 L929 세포를 이용하여 세포독성 평가를 진행하였다. 새롭게 제조한 방법은 기존의 방법과 비교하였을 때, 부식 성능은 비슷하고 생체적합성이 높아 생분해성 금속의 표면처리에 적합하다고 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 산화텅스텐($WO_3$) 분말을 이용하여 여러 금속 기판에 텅스텐 박막을 코팅하는 방법에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 언급되는 W 코팅은 Lee 등이 보고한 W, Cu 산화물을 이용하여 W-Cu 복합분말을 제조하는 것으로부터 아이디어가 출발되었으며, 본 연구의 결과는 기존의 6불화 텅스텐 가스($WF_6$) 를 열 분해하여 증착시키는 화학증착법(CVD: chemical vapor deposition)과 순수 텅스텐 target을 sputtering하여 증착시키는 물리증착법(PVD: physical vapor deposition)과 달리, 산화텅스텐 분말, 금속 기판, 및 수소 가스만을 사용하기 때문에 경제적으로 큰 장점이 있는 새로운 코팅법의 하나로 연구되었다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 코팅법의 기구와 여러 금속에서 코팅되는 W의 코팅 현상 등에 대해 간단히 언급하고자 하였다.

The forty vapor-liquid equilibrium data of the binary system, HFC125＋Propane, were measured between 273.15 and 313.15 K at 10 K interval and the composition range 0.2∼0.75, respectively. Experiments were performed in a circulation type apparatus in which the vapor phase was forced through the liquid phase. The composition at equilibrium were mea-sured by gas chromatography, and its response was calibrated using gravimetrically prepared mixtures. Vapor-liquid equilibrium data were calculated by using CSD equation of state and compared with the experimental data.

마그네슘은 실용금속 중에서 열역학적으로 가장 활성이 큰 부류에 속하며, 그 표준적극전위는 -2.363VNHE (NHE: 수소표준전극기준)으로 대기중에서 표면부터 신속하게 산화되는 내식성에 큰 취약점을 가지고 있어, 내식성과 낮은 표면전기저항성을 갖는 마그네슘판재용 화성처리를 제안하기 위해 망간-인산염, 바나듐, 세륨, 불화 실리콘 등의 화합물로 구성되는 여러 가지의 화성처리용액을 제조한 뒤 침지처리시간을 달리하는 방법으로 마그네슘판재를 코팅하였다. 코팅된 시편을 이용하여 색상과 광택, 표면전기저항, 내식성 등에 대한 특성을 고찰하였다.

Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence rate of multiple chemical sensitivity/idiopathic environmental intolerance(MCS/IEI) among workers in the Gumi industrial complex around the region of accidental release of hydrogen fluoride in 2012. Materials: We evaluated MCS/IEI using the Korean version of the Quick Environmental Exposure and Sensitivity Inventory(QEESI). A total of 535 workers at six manufacturing companies in the Gumi industrial complex were investigated using self-administered questionnaires from February to March 2015. After exclusion of incompletely answered questionnaires, 271 were analyzed. Results: The prevalence rate and proved positive rate of MCS/IEI were 5.9%(16 out of 271) and 3.7%(10 out of 271), respectively. The scores of chemical intolerance, other intolerance, symptom severity and life impact were significantly higher(p<0.05) in females than those of males. In terms of masking index scores, males showed significantly higher(p=0.003) than female. The self-reported MCS/IEI prevalence rate, 7.7%, of workers exposed to hydrogen fluoride in 2012 was higher than no-exposure group(5.6%), but not statistically significant(p=0.815). Conclusions: Although the prevalence rate of MCS/IEI symptoms of workers exposed to hydrogen fluoride gas in 2012 was not significantly higher than no-exposure group, it is necessary to conduct follow-up study on the exposure group of hydrogen fluoride.

This study attempted to utilize ultrafine precipitated calcium carbonate for fluoride removal from the wastewater of electronics industries. An average particle size of the calcium carbonate was $0.96{\mu}m$, and pH of the aqueous slurry was 10 with 70% in mass. The suspension solution showed approximately 2 mL/hr of the sedimentation rate. The present calcium carbonate solution could be comparable to the conventional aqueous calcium source, $Ca(OH)_2$, for the neutralization and removal of fluoride ions. Depending on the amount of an additional alkali source, less amounts of test Ca-source slurries were required to reach the solution pH of 7.0 than that of using the aqueous calcium hydroxide. It was also found from XRD analysis that more calcium fluoride precipitates were formed by the addition of calcium carbonate solution rather than that of calcium hydroxide. In addition, Minteq equilibrium modelling estimated various ion complexes of fluoride and calcium in this process.

Objectives: The goal of this study is to identify the distribution of the foliar fluorine content of vegetation surrounding the area where hydrofluoric acid was accidently released in Gumi, Gyeongsangbuk-do on September 27, 2012. In addition, it also aims to estimate the concentration of hydrogen fluoride in the air on the day of the accident. Methods: Samples of plant leaves were collected on October 7, 2012 within 1 km from the site where the accident occurred. These samples were analyzed for soluble fluorine ion with an ion selective electrode. The ambient concentration of hydrogen fluoride was calculated using the fluoride content in the plant via the dose-rate equation (${\Delta}F$=KCT). Results: The arithmetic and geometric means of the concentrations were 2158.2 and 1183.7mg F $kg^{-1}$ for leaves and, 2.4 and 1.1 ppm HF for the air, respectively. The highest concentration of hydrogen fluoride in the air was 14.7 ppm, which is higher than the maximum concentration reported by the government (1 ppm) and the exposure limit (ceiling, 3 ppm). The concentrations of both fluorine and hydrogen fluoride decreased with increasing distance from the accident site and showed a significant decrease outside of a 500m radius from the site (p <0.05). Conclusions: The area around the accident site was highly polluted with hydrogen fluoride according to the results of this study. Considering the persistency of hydrogen fluoride in the environment, long-term monitoring and environmental impact assessment should be pursued.

Using the TBP slovent extraction method, a simple and precise method for determining uranium isotopes in the environment samples was developed. The soil sample was decomposed with $HNO_3$ and HF. Uranium isotopes were extracted with 15% TBP in $CCl_4$ from aqueous phase to organic phase, and Th fraction was removed with 8M HCl. Uranium fraction was purified in back extraction step with 1M HCl. Optimized electrode position conditions of uranium Isotopes were set using a new electrode position solution including a DTPA chelating agent. The new method of uranium isotopes determination was validated with a result of application to IAEA Reference Soils.

A simple and sensitive analytical method for fluoride in urine by ion selective electrode (ISE) method was presented. Traditional buffer for fluoride determination using ISE is acetate-based one. Researchers have pointed out some drawbacks of the buffer for fluoride ISE analysis, and some other buffers including citrate-ammonium buffer and MES buffer have been studied for accurate determination of fluoride in urine here. These buffers provided promising results in environmental field, and this author focused on overcoming the interference of co-existing aluminium. The results show that MES-CyDTA buffer gave the best recovery with accuracy of 95-97.5% and precision of 1.9-7.9% for reference sample of 1.8-7.8 mg/L fluoride in urine, with smaller amount of samples and shorter analysis time compared with the traditional method which used acetate buffer. The method was applied to field samples, and which showed urinary of $0.98{\pm}0.38mg/g$ creatinine for workers in electric cable manufacturing factory (n=15) and $0.59{\pm}0.30mg/g$ creatinine for non-exposed workers (n=12).

Since the use of CFC and HCFC refrigerants are to be restricted due to the depletion of ozone layer, this experiment applies the $NH_3$ gas to study the performance characteristics of $NH_3$ refrigeration system by the superheat control for improving the energy efficiency. The experiments are carried out for the condensing pressure of refrigeration system from 1,500 kPa to 1,600 kPa and for degree of superheat from $0^{\circ}C\;to\;10^{\circ}C$ at each condensing pressure. As a result of experiment, when the degree of superheat is $0^{\circ}C$ at each condensing pressure, the refrigeration system has the highest performance.
