The granite melting concept, which was suggested by Gibb's group for the closing of a deep borehole, was experimentally checked for KURT granite. The granite melting experiments were performed in two pressure conditions of atmospheric melting with certain inorganic additives and high pressure melting formed by water vaporization. The results of atmospheric tests showed that KURT granite started to melt at a lower temperature of $1,000^{\circ}C$ with NaOH addition and that needle shaped crystals were formed around partially melted crystals. In high pressure tests, vapor pressure was increased by adding water with maximum pressure of about 400 bars. KURT granite was partially melted at $1,000^{\circ}C$ when vapor pressure was low. However, it was not melted at vapor pressures higher than 200 bars. Therefore, it was determined that high pressure with a small amount of water vapor more effectively decreased the melting point of granite. Meanwhile, high temperature and high pressure vapor caused severe corrosion of the reactor wall.

최근 들어 고체산화물 연료전지(SOFC) 기술이 급성장함에 따라 고온 수증기 전기분해(HTE) 기술이 물로부터 수소를 대량으로 제조할 수 있는 환경 친화적인 기술로 주목 받고 있다 고온 수증기 전기분해는 기존의 액상 전기분해보다 총 에너지 요구량이 작고 전기분해에 필요한 최소의 전기에너지가 온도가 증가할수록 감소하며 고온 수증기 전기분해에 요구되는 에너지의 일부를 전기에너지 대신 열의 형태로 공급이 가능하여 보다 높은 효율을 기대할 수 있다. 따라서 off peak시 기저부하전력을 이용하고, 공정의 열원으로 고온가스의 폐열, 천연가스의 부분산화 반응열 또는 고온 가스원자로의 폐열을 활용하면 SOFC 이용 고온 수증기 전기분해 공정은 수소경제사회에서 요구되는 수소를 대량으로 제조할 수 있는 경제적인 공정이 될 것이다.

Extraction of phytoncide oil from korea pine cone waste without damaging the pine cone tree itself was investigated using a steam distillation method. Also various components in the extracted phytoncide oil were separated using a column chromatography method. The extraction of phytoncide oil was effectively proceeded, and the maximum production yield of phytoncide oil could be obtained under $100^{\circ}C$ of distillation temperature and within 30 minute of distillation time. According to chemical analysis, it was found that the phytoncide oil from korea pine cone waste was consisted of more than 12 components such as ${\alpha}$-pinene, ${\beta}$-pinene, D-limonene, as main components. In addition, the aqueous hydrogel containing other components such as verbenone, ${\alpha}$-terpinieol, fenchol, different from components of phytoncide oil itself could be obtained through the steam distillation.

Gasification characteristics and gas produced from a sewage sludge char were analyzed by using a thermobalance reactor, which is used for a reaction kinetic analysis by measuring weight change of materials at a desired temperature. Gasification reaction rate increased with increasing temperature and steam partial pressure due to the promotion of gasification reaction. Three models of gas-solid reaction were applied to the reaction kinetics analysis and modified volumetric reaction model was an appropriated model for the steam gasification of the sewage sludge char. Apparent activation energy and pre-exponential factors were evaluated as 155.5 kJ/mol and $14,087s^{-1}atm^{-1}$, respectively. The order of reaction on steam partial pressure was 0.68. Gas analysis was performed at $900^{\circ}C$ and hydrogen concentration was highest in the gas concentrations, which increased with increasing the steam partial pressure. Hydrogen concentration increased the most and hydrogen concentration in the produced gas was 2-4 times higher than that of carbon monoxide due to the gasification and water gas shift reaction.

Numerical computations were performed for the gasification of five different coals such as Lewis-Stockton bituminous, Utah bituminous. Illinois #6 bituminous, Usibelli sub-bituminous and Beulah-Zap lignite, to assess the effect of variation in oxygen to coal ratio and steam to coal ratio on reactive flow fields within an axisymmetric, entrained-flow gasifier. The concentrations of major products, CO and $H_2$, were calculated with varying oxygen to coal ratio(0.7~1.4) and steam to coal ratio. To verify the validity of predictions, the predicted and the measured values of CO and $H_2$ concentrations at the exit of the gasifier were compared for Roto coal. Reasonable agreement was obtained between the predicted and measured values. Predictions showed that the (CO+H_2$) concentration increased gradually to its maximum value with increasing oxygen-coal ratio, and CO concentration decreased, but $H_2$ concentration increased to some extent with increasing steam-coal ratio. When the oxygen-coal ratio was between 1.0 and 1.2, and the steam-coal ratio was between 0.3 and 0.4, high values of the cold-gas efficiency were obtained.

Signals from the Global Positioning System(GPS) satellite are used to retrieve the integrated amount of water vapor or the precipitable water vapor(PWV) along the path between a transmitting satellite and ground-based receiver. In order to retrieve the PWV from GPS signal delay in the troposphere, the actual zenith wet delay, which can be derived by extracting the zenith total delay and subtracting the actual zenith hydrostatic delay computed using surface pressure observing, will be needed. Since it has been not co-located between GPS permanent station and automated weather station, the air-pressure on the mean sea level has been used to determine the actual zenith hydrostatic delay. The directly use of this air-pressure has been caused the dilution of precision on GPS PWV retrieval. In this study, Korean reverse sea level correction method of air-pressure was suggested for the improving of GPS PWV retrieval capability and the accuracy of water vapor estimated by GPS was evaluated through a comparison with radiosonde PWV.

The effects of film processing conditions on the water vapor permeability (WVP), the solubility of film's protein (SFP) and the soluble film's meterials amount (SFMA) were investigated to establish the conditions for preparing biodegradable and edible Alaska Pollack meal protein isolate (APMPI) film. ms of film were decreased with increasing plasticizer concentration but those were decreased with decrement of APMPI's pH values. SEPs were decreased with increasing APMPI's pH and plasticizer concentration. SFMAS were also strongly affected by plasticizer concentration and APMPI's pH. In the case of adding different plasticizers, WVP was increased in order as follows: glycerol, polyethylene glycol and sorbitol but SFMA showed inverse order.

The effects of operating conditions such as benzene concentration, nitrogen flow rate, steam flow rate, and bed temperature on TSA process were experimentally investigated as a potential VOC removal technology using two kinds of beds packed with activated carbon and zeolite 13X. The TSA cycle studied was composed of the adsorption step, steam desorption step, and drying and cooling step. At 2% benzene concentration, the total adsorption amounts of zeolite 13X and activated carbon were 4.44 g and 3.65 g, respectively. Since the zeolite 13X has a larger packing density than that of the activated carbon, the larger benzene amount could be adsorbed in a single cycle. Increasing the water vapor flow rate to 75 g/hr at 2% benzene concentration reduced the desorption time from 1 hr to a maximum of 33 min. If the desorption time is shortened, the drying and cooling step period can be relatively increased. Accordingly, the steam removal and bed cooling could be sufficiently performed. The desorption amounts increased with the increase of the bed temperature. However, the energy consumption increased while the desorption amount was almost constant above $150^{\circ}C$. In the continuous cycle process, when the amount of remained benzene at the completion of the regeneration step increased, it might cause a decrease in the working capacity of the adsorbent. The continuous cycle process experiment for zeolite 13X showed that the amount of remained benzene at the end of regeneration step maintained a constant value after the fourth cycle.

In this study the membrane preparation and water vapor permeation of the hydrophilic polymer materials, polyaminosiloxane and polyhydroxylsiloxane, used as the coating materials for the preparation of asymmetric flat and hollow fiber membranes were investigated. And the water vapor permeation towards air permeation and their permselectivity were intensively studied for the resulting Resin A/Resin C (coupling agent) and Resin B/Resin C membranes. The water vapor permeability for 3 wt% Resin C introduced into Resin A (Resin A/Resin C) membrane was higher than for 1 and 5 wt% membranes and also water vapor permeability increased with increasing operating temperatures. In addition, at this content of 3 wt% Resin C, the absorption capability became maximum through dynamic equilibrium absorption experiment. Water vapor permeability, 43578 Barrer (1 Barrer = $10^{-10}cm^3(STP){\cdot}cm/cm^2{\cdot}s{\cdot}cmHg$) and 53000 Barrer, and the selectivity of $P(H_2O)P(Air)$, 101.3 and 102.6 were shown at 25 and $35^{\circ}C$, respectively.
