The catalytic cracking of n-octane over FER, MFI, MOR and BEA zeolites was studied by the protolytic cracking mechanism in order to understand the effect of pore structure of zeolites on their product composition and deactivation. The selectivities for $C_3$ and $C_3{^=}$ were high over the zeolites with medium pores due to additional cracking, while those for $C_4$ and $C_4{^=}$, the initial products, were high over the zeolites with large pores. MFI zeolite showed slow deactivation due to small carbon deposit, while FER zeolite with small pores deactivated rapidly with severe carbon deposit. The deactivation of BEA zeolite was slow even with a large amount of carbon deposit, but MOR zeolite showed a rapid deactivation even with a small amount of carbon deposit. The conversion measured along with the time on stream on these zeolite catalysts was simulated by a mechanism based on the simplified reaction path of n-octane cracking and the deactivation related to the pore blockage by carbon deposit.

This study was carried out to examine the forest fire effect on water storage characteristics in the forests. Water storage capacity of the burned area was analyzed by several major factors, such as soil pore, maximum water content, effective water storage, and percolation rate. The results obtained from the analysis of major factors are as follows; The deeper soil depth, the less total pore, coarse pore, effective water storage, and percolation rate. However, fine pore increased slightly in both burned area and control plot. As compared with control plot, burned area showed lower percolation rate, coarse pore, and effective water storage, but higher values of fine pore. Directly after forest fire, the soil pore is little affected. But as the time passes, top soil structure changes and soil pore also is affected even in a deep soil. Estimated effective water storage was lower at top soil of Namcheon and at deep soil of Namha in all the burned areas, but slowly decreased in deep soil compared to control plots. Therefore it was concluded that forest water storage capacity was greatly affected by the forest fire.

In this study, we have established the optimum design condition of pore-filled anion-exchange membrane for all-vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB). From the experimental results, it was proven that the membrane design factors that have the greatest influence on the charge-discharge performance of VRFB are the ion exchange capacity, the porosity of substrate film, and the crosslinking degree. That is, the ohmic loss and the crossover of active materials in VRFB were shown to be determined by the above factors. In addition, two methods, i.e. reducing the ion exchange capacity at low crosslinking degree and increasing the crosslinking degree at high ion exchange capacity, were investigated in the preparation of pore-filled anion-exchange membranes. As a result, it was found that optimizing the crosslinking degree at sufficiently high ion exchange capacity is more desirable to achieving high VRFB charge-discharge performances.

A flexible electrochromic device (ECD) is a promising technology that is expected to be applied in various fields such as smart windows. Polymer electrolyte is an important component that determines the bleaching-coloration performance and physical stability of flexible ECDs. In this study, a pore-filled polymer electrolyte membrane (PFPEM) with excellent dimensional stability was developed to effectively fabricate flexible ECDs and improve durability. Polyvinyl acetate, which has excellent adhesion, and polyethylene glycol, which can improve ionic conductivity, were filled in the pores of a porous substrate made of polyethylene, which is inexpensive and has excellent physical and chemical stability. The optimal lithium salt (LiTFSI) content of the prepared PFPEM was determined at about 27 wt%, and it was confirmed to possess excellent dimensional stability, adhesive strength, and ion conductivity close to that of conventional polymer electrolytes. Although the visible light transmittance was lowered by the use of the porous substrate, it was expected to act as an advantage in the colored state.

상전이법으로 제조된 비대칭막은 세공의 크기를 nm이하의 수준으로 줄여 주면 막 여과저항이 크게 증가하여 경제성이 떨어지는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이에 대한 대안으로 복합막이 제조되어 사용되고 있는데, 복합막은 우수한 투과도와 높은 배제율을 달성하기 위한 적극적인 대안이 되고 있다. 정수처리 및 수질환경 분야에 사용되는 나노복합막의 경제성을 더욱 향상시키기 위해서는 나노막의 투과유속을 증가시켜야 하는데, 복합막의 투과 성능은 지지체의 특성과 스킨층을 형성시키는 기술에 의해 좌우된다.(중략)

1. 서론 : 수처리공정에서의 막오염은 효과적인 공정운용을 위해 주요 문제로 인식되고 있으며 막오염은 막표면이나 세공에서 물질의 흡착, 부착 그리고 축적 등과 같은 일련의 메카니즘에 의해 투과율을 저하시키는 결과를 초래한다. 본 연구는 주기적인 역세척(frequency backpulsing)에 의한 중공사막에서의 오염 현상을 규명하여 정수 처리 공정에서 막오염을 최소화시키는 운전 조건을 확립하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다.

최근 유가 상승 및 에너지 확보, 경질 원유 생산량 및 부존량 감소로 인하여 대체 석유자원의 개발에 대한 연구 및 관심이 급증하고 있다. 기존의 연소 방식이 아닌 연료를 청정 가스로 전환하여 이용하는 가스화 기술 개발이 진행되고 있다. 석탄은 매장량이 세계적으로 풍부 할뿐만 아니라, 지역적으로도 편재되어 있지 않은 에너지원인 석탄을 활용하는 새로운 발전기술로 환경보전성이 우수하며, 효율이 기존의 발전 시스템보다 뛰어난 에너지 이용기술로 각광받는 분야이다. 석탄 슬러리는 분쇄한 석탄을 믹서를 사용하여 소량의 계면활성제를 첨가하여 제조한다. CWM 제조용 석탄은 대체로 고유수분 5%이하, 회분 10%이하의 석탄이 추천되고 있으며, 수분이나 회분량, 산소함량, 입자의 세공율이 증가할수록 고농도화에 불리한 것으로 나타나고 있다. 연료적 가치를 향상시키기 위해서는 물의 함량을 적게, 즉 석탄의 농도를 증가시키는 것이 중요하다. 일반적인 CWM 규격으로는 석탄농도 65% 이상이 바람직한 것으로 보고되고 있다. 석탄가스화에 연료로 사용되는 CWM의 연료성상 및 미립화 정도, 제조 조건 등에 따라 많은 차이가 발생한다. 본 실험에서는 1.0T/D급 습식 분류층가스화기에서 이용할 CWM의 제조를 위하여 소형 믹서를 이용하여 석탄의 농도에 따른 점도 변화와 석탄의 분쇄입자 크기에 따른 점도 변화, 계면활성제와 첨가제의 농도에 따른 점도 특성을 실험하였다.

It is desired that carbon dioxide causing a greenhouse effect be removed at a high temperature and high pressure in a steam reforming reaction. In this research, a pellet form of adsorbent CaO is employed to capture $CO_2$. The adsorbent was manufactured using a high pressure molding on powdered $CaCO_3$ followed by calcination. Then its properties were analyzed and the adsorption experiments were carried out in a batch adsorption chamber. The pore area was found to be dependent on a molding pressure and the pore distribution showed two peaks. It is examined that $CO_2$ binds to CaO by means of chemisorption and its maximum conversion is nearly $80\%$ at $700^{\circ}C$.

The catalytic activity of ZSM-5 catalyst for the disproportionation of toluene is dependent on the type of cation exchanged, the degree of ion-exchange and the reaction temperature. The activity increases in the order of alkaline-, alkali earth-, hydrogen, and rare-earth-exchanged ZSM-5 and decreases with increasing degree of cation exchange. Among the ion-exchanged ZSM-5 catalyst, only Cs-ZSM-5 shows predominant selectivity for p-xylene. The selectivity increases with increasing degree of $Cs^+$-exchange and decreasing reaction temperature. This phenomenon is interpreted in terms of shape selectivity arising from the partial blocking of channel intersections by large cesium ions.

Polymer-modified mortars have an excellent water proofness and water retentivity. Therefore, the study on the moisture diffusion behavior- is very important. The purpose of' this study is to investigate the effects of relative humidity and moisture content in mortars on the moisture diffusion, and the relationship between the shrinkage and moisture diffusion coefficient of polymer-modified mortars cured at $20{\circ}C$ 50% R.H and 80% R.H. The pore size distribution of the polymer-modified mortars was also measured. From the test results, the relative humidity and moisture content in mortars influenced on the moisture diffusion of polymer-modified mortars. The shrinkage and moisture diffusion coefficient of polymer-modified mortars cured at $20{\circ}C$ 50% R.H. was bigger than that cured at $20{\circ}C$ 80% R.H.. and decreased with increasing polymer-cement ratio regardless of polymer type.
