Recovery of phosphoric acid from waste acid mixture of acetic, nitric and phosphoric acid has been attempted by using solvent extraction method. In this work, organic phosphate was used as an extraction agent. The effect of phosphate concentration, agitation speed and time on the solvent extraction of acetic and nitric acids has been investigated. The optimum concentration of phosphate for preferential extraction of acetic and nitric acids from waste acid was found to be about 50% irrespective of agitation speed and time. Purified phophoric acid was recovered from extraction residue at 1/3 of A/O ratio and 6th stage of extraction stage, which is well consistent with the value calculated by using McCabe-Thiele diagram.

A liquid-liquid solvent extraction process was developed in this study to recover Fe and Ni from heavily concentrated aqueous ferric chloride solution, in an effort to substitute the conventional iron reduction method. Solvent composition and extraction conditions were first developed from the laboratory experiments, and the pilot system was designed and built for commercialization. Stage numbers for extraction and stripping were determined from pilot plant runs, and other operation data were obtained for mass production.

Polyurethane foam impregnated with ${\beta}$-diphenylglyoxime has been applied to the extraction of palladium(II) from platinum(IV) and nickel(II) in aqueous solution. Palladium(II) is quantitatively extracted from $0.01{sim}0.05M$ HCl. On the other hand, platinum(Ⅳ) was slightly extracted and nickel(II) was not found to be extraction in the same experimental condition. Based on the results obtained, the selective separation, removal and recovery of Pd(II) from Pt(IV) or Ni(II) was possible by batch or elution method.

A simultaneous and rapid gas chromatographic determination of organophosphorus, organo-chlorine, carbamate, and pyrethroid pesticides in polished rice was developed. The pesticides were extracted from samples with acetone by automated soxhlet apparatus and this extract was evaporated to dryness. The residue was dissolved in hexane, the solvent was applied to a Sep-Pak florisil catridge, was eluted with 50% ethyl acetate in n-hexane, and was injected to dual GC-ECD/NPD system. This simple method affords a high recovery of hydrophilic pesticides, allows rapid analysis, and is cheap to perform. Except for dichlorvos and captan, recoveries of 46 pesticides were over 60%.

Most of Korean survey institutions adopt quota sampling for telephone surveys based on region, gender and age-band. In weekdays, it is well blown that there exist substantial differences in day time in-house rate by individual's socio-demographic attributes. So, quota sampling may induce systematic respondent selection bias. To solve the problem, we propose "time-balanced quota sampling" in which interviewer's call time-band is added as an quota variable. Furthermore, we propose "time-balanced quasi-quota sampling" which is derived by partially relaxing evening time quotas in time-balanced quota sampling. We compare the conventional and the newly proposed quota sampling schemes by drawing Monte Carlo samples from the hypothetical population for which the Korea 2004 time use survey data is assumed.

The selective removal and recovery of fermentation inhibitors during purification of sugars from biomass hydrolysates can increase the economic efficiency of the entire process to produce bioalcohol from lignocellulosic biomass. This study investigated the effect of furans in phenols-free biomass hydrolysate on acetic acid extraction in an emulsion liquid membrane system. Under specific operating conditions, more than 99% of acetic acid could be extracted within 5 minutes, and the degrees of extraction of furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural were about 10% and 4%, respectively. The extraction rate of acetic acid was also lower at a higher initial concentration of furfural in the feed phase, which was greater for furfural than 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. Thus, if furfural is first removed from the hydrolysate prior to acetic acid extraction, emulsion liquid membrane would be a more economically efficient way of removing acetic acid.

In new millennium, wide-reaching demands for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst have been increased gradually in new millennium. SCR catalyst can prevent the NO_x emission to protect the environment. In SCR catalyst the main composition of the catalyst is typically TiO₂ (70~80%), WO₃ (7~10%), V₂O₅ (~1%) and others. When the SCR catalysts are used up and disposed to landfills, it is problematic that those should exist in the landfill site permanently due to their extremely low degradability. A new advanced technology needs to be developed primarily to protect environment and then recover the valuable metals. Hydrometallurgical techniques such as leaching and liquid-liquid extraction was designed and developed for the spent SCR catalyst processing. In a first stage, V and W selectively leached from spent SCR catalyst, then both the metals were processed by liquid-liquid extraction process. Various commercial extractants such as D2EHPA, PC 88A, TBP, Cyanex 272, Aliquat 336 were tested for selective extraction of title metals. Scrubbing and stripping studies were tested and optimized for vanadium and tungsten extraction and possible separation. 3^rd phase studies were optimized by using iso-decanol reagent.

This paper presents a methodology for a fall detection using the feature extraction method based on the neural network with weighted fuzzy membership functions (NEWFM). The distributed non-overlap area measurement method selects the minimized number of input features by removing the worst input features one by one. Nineteen number of wavelet transformed coefficients captured by a triaxial accelerometer are selected as minimized features using the non-overlap area distribution measurement method. The proposed methodology shows that sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy are 95%, 97.25%, and 96.125%, respectively.

Recovery of low level nitric acid and sulfuric acid ions, which were contained in wastewater of a wet scrubber for de-NOx and de-SOx from ship engines, was attempted as fertilizing materials. This study utilized a selective extraction method using four organic solvents to precipitate the solid salts of ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulfate. The IR analysis showed almost same composition of the extracted ammonium salts with a commercial product, and recovery rate of nitrogen and sulfuric ions was 89% and 80% respectively. It was found that the selectivity and solubility consequently could be the crucial factors to recover the low level ions from the waste scrubbing water.

이 논문에서는 여러대의 카메라를 이용하여, 화면내의 모든 화소에 대해 정확한 깊이정보를 추출하는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안방법은 스테레오정합에 기반하고 있다. 스트레오정압에 의해 깊이정보를 추정하는데 있어서는 , 오클루전(occlusion)이 추정에 미치는 악영향을 어떻게 극복하는가가매우 중요한 문제이다. 오클루전문제는 2대의 카메라로는 근본적으로 해결이 불가능하다. 따라서 이논문에서는 5대의 카메라를 사용하여, 각 카메라로부터의 정보를 선택적으로 사용함으로써, 이 문제를 상당히 개선한다. 한편, 스테레오 정합법에서는 정합창의 크기가 추정성능에 영향을 미치는데, 큰 창을 이요하면 잡음내성은 우수하나 깊이가 불연속인 곳에서 오차가 발생하고, 작은창을 이용하면 잡음성능은 저하되나 불연속부에서의 창크기에 의한 오차가 줄어드는, 대차관계가 존재한다. 이 논문에서는 처음에 큰 창으로 추정하고 차츰 창의 크기를 줄여나가는 계층적 방법을 제안하여, 잡음내성을 강화하고 불연속부의 오차를 줄이고 있다. 실험경과를 통하여 제안방법의 성능을 제시하고 타당성을 확인한다.
