Pickling of oxidized 304 stainless steel has been investigated using rotating disk electrode in waste acid solutions generated from the etching process of silicon wafer in order to recycle them. The waste acid solution contained acetic, nitric, hydrofluoric acids, and silicon of $19.6g/L^{-1}$. Electrochemical behavior during the pickling was distinctively different between the original and silicon-removed acid solutions. Open circuit potential was continuously changed in the original solution, while it was discontinuously changed and fluctuated in the silicon-removed solution. Fast and abrupt removal of surface oxide layer with severe pitting was observed in the silicon-removed solution. It was found that solution temperature had the most influential effect on glossiness. Surface glossiness after pickling was decreased with solution temperature. At the same condition, the glossiness was higher in the original solution than in the silicon-removed solution.

We have developed an extreme high vacuum (XHV) system using a new combination pump cpmposed of a suitably shaped NEG(Non-Evaporable Getters) in the body of a sputter-ion pump (SIP). The stainless-steel test chamber was used which had been well oxidized at $450^{\circ}C$ and already yielded XHV with a turbomolecular pumping system. The pressure was measured by a Leybold extractor gauge (EXG,limit:1~$2{\times}10^{-12}$torr, but in the ultimate pressure regionthe EXG shows an unusual sign as $-0.{\times}10^{-12}$ torr which indicates much lower pressure range than its available lower limit. These results are mainly due to the high pumping speed of NEG for hydrogen. Furthermore, use of the SIP combined with the NEG as a XHV pumping system implies the potential for actualization of the surface analysis under XHV environment, and allows one to have a chance tp meet a new world in nanometer science and technology.

A residual gas analyzer was used to study the outgassing behavior of stainless steel 304 chamber as a function of bake-out temperature up to $235 ^{\circ}C$ and to identify the gas species evolved during turn on and degassing of the three different types of hot cathode ionization gauges. It was found that $H_2O$, CO, and $H_2O$ were the dominent outgassing species in the vacuum chamber during bake-out but finally $H_2$ and CO(mass 28) persisted at room temperature. Dominant outgassing species were also $H_2$ and $H_2O$ while fuming on the ionizations and then $H_2$,$H_2O$ and CO were found to be the main species degassed gauges. It was appeared that the outgassing species and quantity were not agreed to the three different types of hot cathode ionization gauges.

This paper investigated the strength and stiffness of composite truss unit structures. The model used is a core-filled model combining the Kagome model and the cube truss model. The material properties used for the analysis are 304 stainless steel with elastic modulus of 193 GPa and yield stress of 215 MPa. The theoretical equation is derived from the relative elasticity relation of Gibson - Ashby ratio, the analysis was performed using Deform 3D, a commercial tool. In conclusion, the relative elasticity for this unit model correlates with 1.25 times the relative density and constant coefficient, elasticity is inversely proportional to pore size. The relative compressive strength has a correlation with relative density of 1.25 times. Proof of this is a real experiment, the derived theoretical relationship should further consider mechanical behavior such as bending and buckling. In the future, it is hoped that the research on the elasticity and the stress according to the structure of the three-dimensional space will be continued.

Metal surface decontamination characteristics were investigated by using a laser ablation method. A second harmonic generation of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with a wave length of 532 nm, a pulse energy of 150 mJ and a pulse width of 5 ns was employed to assess the decontamination performance for metal surfaces contaminated with $CsNO_3$, $Co(NH_4)_2(SO_4)_2$, $Eu_2O_3$ and $CeO_2$. The ablation behavior was investigated for the decontamination variables such as a number of laser shots, laser fluence and an irradiation angle. Their optimum values were found to be 8, 13.3 J/$cm^2$ and $30^{\circ}$, respectively. The decontamination efficiency was different depending on the kinds of the contaminated ions, due to their different melting and boiling points and was in the order: $CsNO_3>Co(NH_4)_2(SO_4)_2>Eu_2O_3>CeO_2$. We also evaluated a correlation between the metal ablation thickness and the number of laser shots for the different laser fluences.

광역상수도의 경우 수자원공사 및 지방상수도 사업자들에 의해 전문적으로 수질을 관리하고 음용수를 보급하고 있으나 소규모 수도시설의 경우 전문능력을 갖춘 관리자가 아닌 마을의 대표자가 맡아 관리함에 따라 안정성 및 유지관리의 어려움이 자주 제기되고 있다.[1] 또한 소규모 수도시설의 경우 취수원으로 지하수나 계곡수를 이용하여 여과나 염소소독을 거쳐 음용수로 이용함에 따라 중금속 및 무기이온 등 각종 오염물질이 효과적으로 제거되지 않아 이를 사용하는 주민들이 불편함을 겪고 있는 실정이다. 환경부의 법정 수질 검사에 따르면 부적합 판정을 받은 곳의 대부분은 마을상수도와 소규모 급수시설인 것으로 나타났으며 초과 항목으로는 무기이온 중 특히 불소와 질산성질소 인 것으로 나타났다.[2] 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 기존의 고도 정수처리 시설인 막여과, 오존처리, 활성탄 흡착 공정 등을[3-5] 적용하고 있으나 소규모 수도시설에 적용하기에는 유지관리, 규모, 경제적 측면 등 여러 한계점을 지니고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방안으로 전기응집기술을 이용하여 음용수 수질기준을 초과하는 무기이온 중 불소와 질산성 질소를 제거하고자 하였다. 전기응집기술은 제거효율이 높고, 운전이 용이하며 부가적인 화학약품의 첨가가 불필요하다.[6,7] 또한 기존의 고도정수처리 기술에 비해 전기응집 공정은 처리효율과 경제적인 측면 모두를 만족시키고 있어 소규모 수도시설의 불소와 질산성질소를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 방안으로 판단된다. 본 연구에 사용된 실험장치는 직류전원공급장치 (DC power supply), 반응조, 전극으로 구성되어 있다. 직류전원공급장치는 최대전압 30 Volt, 최대 전류 30 Amper 까지 조절 가능하였으며 반응조의 크기는 14.5cm(w) ${\times}$ 9cm(L) ${\times}$ 22cm(H) 이고 실용적 1.5L이다. 반응조의 상부에는 전극이 고정될 수 있도록 0.5cm 간격의 홈을 만들어 제작 하였다. 전극은 가용성 전극인 알루미늄 (Al), 스테인레스스틸(SUS304)를 이용하였다. 이를 통해 전류밀도, 전극간격 등의 변수를 두어 최적의 전기응집 운전 조건을 파악하였으며 이는 소규모 수도시설의 수질개선 향상에 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
