VOCs such as acetone, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene were adsorbed in a fixed-bed adsorber using zeolite synthesized from coal fly ash and 4 kinds of activated carbon at 101.3 kPa. The adsorber was operated batchwise with the charge of 5 g adsorbent to obtain the breakthrough curve of VOCs. Experiments were carried out at $40^{\circ}C$, nitrogen flow rate of $70cm^3/min$ and sparger temperature of $30^{\circ}C$. The deactivation model was tested for these curves by combining the adsorption of VOCs and the deactivation of adsorbent particles. The observed values of the adsorption rate constant and the deactivation rate constant were evaluated through analysis of the experimental breakthrough data using a nonlinear least square technique. The experimental breakthrough data were fitted very well to the deactivation model than the adsorption isotherm models in the literature. Also, adsorption capacities of adsorbents were obtained from the breakthrough curve to observe the correlation between adsorption capacity and the physical properties of VOCs.

투과증발 시스템은 막 분리 기술의 일종으로 액체 혼합물 중의 한 성분에 대해 친화적인 비다공성 막을 사용하여 그 성분을 선택적으로 투과시켜 혼합물을 분리하는 기술이다. 투과증발 시스템에서는 Feed가 비교적 높은 온도에서 액상 형태로 막의 Feed side에 공급되어 막을 투과한 물질(Permeate)은 Permeate side에서 기화된 후 냉각기로부터 공급되는 Cold brine에 의하여 응축되며, 이는 투과증발막 투과 구동력이 각 성분의 증기압 차이기 때문에 이를 크게 유지하기 위함이다. 현재 투과증발 시스템이 상업적으로 적용되고 있는 공정은 유기물 탈수 공정으로, 이 공정에서는 물에 대한 용해도 및 투과 속도가 우수한 친수성 막을 이용하여 유기물과 물의 혼합물로부터 물을 제거하여 유기물을 농축하며, 대표적인 유기물은 에탄올, Isopropyl alcohol(IPA), 아세톤, MIBK, Ethyl acetate, THF 등의 중성 유기물이다.

This study is to investigate the correlation between pore structures of activated carbons and adsorption characteristics of acetone vapor using the dynamic adsorption method. The experimental results showed that the breakthrough time of ACT activated carbon made by Takeda was the longest, because ACT has more micropores below pore diametr $10{\AA}$ than the compared activated carbons. The equilibrium adsorption capacity had direct correlation to the breakthrough time. The relation between BET specific surface area and the equilibrium adsorption capacity was hard to say linear. Therefore, it was difficult to estimate the adsorption ability of activated carbons only by BET specific surface area. The correlation factor between the cumulative surface area and the equilibrium adsorption capacity decreased with enlarging the range of pore size, and there was the highest correlation factor in the range of below $10{\AA}$.

Hydroxylammonium nitrate (HAN; NH₃OHNO₃) is an ionic energy material having a low melting temperature and vapor pressure with a high oxygen balance. To utilize it as an oxidizer for a high content liquid mono-propellant, a dual solvent was used to obtain HAN in a solid particulate form. The dehydrated crystal from an aqueous HAN was washed with dual organic solvents including acetone and ethanol, finally resulting in the moisture content of 13.8 wt%. When acetone was applied as a single solvent, the maximum synthesis yield of 88%, the HAN content evaluated by TGA of 86.2%, and the decomposition temperature ranged 160℃ to 205℃ were achieved.

빗각 증착이란 입사 증기가 기판에 수직하게 입사하는 일반적인 공정과는 다르게 증기가 기판의 수직선과 $0^{\circ}$이상의 각을 갖는 증착 방법을 의미한다. 본 연구는 공정 압력이 비교적 높은 스퍼터링 공정에서 빗각 증착을 실시하여 코팅층의 구조제어가 가능한지를 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 조직의 치밀도 향상을 통한 특성 향상을 위해 TiN 박막을 제조함에 있어서 빗각 증착 기술을 응용하여 단층 및 다층 피막을 제조하고 그 특성을 비교하였다. 스퍼터 소스에 장착된 타겟의 크기는 6"이며, 99.5% Ti 타겟을 사용하였고, Ar 가스 분위기에서 기판으로 사용된 Si(100) 위에 코팅하였다. 기판과 타겟 간의 거리는 10 cm이며, 기판은 알코올과 아세톤으로 초음파 세척을 실시한 후 진공챔버에 장착하고 < $2.0{\times}10-5Torr$ 까지 진공배기를 실시하였다. 진공챔버가 기본 압력까지 배기되면 Ar 가스를 주입한 후 RF 파워에 약 300V의 전압을 인가하여 글로우 방전을 발생시키고 약 30분간 청정을 실시하였다. 기판의 청정이 끝난 후 다시 < $2.0{\times}10-5Torr$까지 진공배기를 한 후 Ar 가스를 주입하여 TiN 코팅을 실시하였다. 빗각 증착을 위한 기판의 회전각은 $70^{\circ}$, $80^{\circ}$와 $-70^{\circ}$, $-80^{\circ}$이며, TiN 박막의 총 두께는 약 $3.5{\sim}4{\mu}m$로 유지하였다. 스퍼터링을 이용한 TiN 박막의 빗각 증착 코팅을 실시하였으며, 공정조건에 따라 주상정이 자라는 모습과 기울어진 각도가 다른 구조를 갖는 박막이 제조되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 빗각증착을 실시하는 중에 기판 홀더에 약 -100 V의 전압을 인가하면 인가하지 않은 막에 비해 치밀한 박막이 성장한다는 사실을 확인하였다. 박막의 성능향상을 위하여 스퍼터 시스템에서 빗각 증착을 이용한 TiN 박막 형성을 실시하였다. SEM 단면 이미지에서 확인해본 결과 주상정이 자라는 형상이 공정 압력이 5 mTorr에서 2 mTorr로 낮아짐에 따라 상대적으로 치밀하면서 일정한 형태로 성장하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 스퍼터링을 이용한 빗각 증착의 Structure Engineering 이 가능함을 확인하였으며 박막의 성능을 향상시키는 기술로서 응용 가능할 것으로 보인다.

The photocatalytic decomposition characteristics of toluene, acetone, and methyl mercaptan (MM) by UV reactor installed with $TiO_2$-coated perforated plane were studied. The removal efficiency of single toluene, acetone, and MM vapor was increased with increasing oxygen concentration, but decreased with increasing inlet concentration. Elimination capacity of single toluene, acetone, and MM vapor was obtained to be $628g/m^3{\cdot}day$, $1,041g/m^3{\cdot}day$, and $2,158g/m^3{\cdot}day$, respectively. Also, the photocatalytic decomposition of binary vapor consisted of toluene and acetone, toluene and MM, acetone and MM were observed. Elimination capacity of toluene mixed with acetone, toluene mixed with MM, acetone mixed with toluene, acetone mixed with MM, MM mixed with toluene, and MM mixed with acetone was $327g/m^3{\cdot}day$, $512g/m^3{\cdot}day$, $128g/m^3{\cdot}day$, $266g/m^3{\cdot}day$, $785g/m^3{\cdot}day$ and $883g/m^3{\cdot}day$, respectively. The inhibitory effect of acetone was higher than MM in photocatalytic decomposition of toluene, the inhibitory effect of toluene was higher than MM photocatalytic decomposition of acetone, and the inhibitory effect of toluene was higher than acetone in photocatalytic decomposition of MM.

Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis Sieb.et Zucc.) boards of 30 mm thickness were treated by steaming and four different drying methods. Small specimens were taken from the sapwoods of the treated boards and their longitudinal liquid permeability was measured according to Darcy's law. The specimens were also extracted with alcohol and aceton solutions to examine the mechanism of liquid flow in wood. It was observed that specific permeability drastically decreases with measurement time, resulting in violation of Darcy's law. It may be due to that air bubbles formed under vacuum block flow paths in resin canals. The average specific permeabilities of non-extracted and extracted specimens are different from one treatment to another. It is supposed that the properties of residual resin in resin canals change depending on the conditions of treatments. Anatomical examination was conducted with a scanning electron microscope.

In this study, the photocatalytic decomposition characteristics of single toluene, toluene mixed with benzene, toluene mixed with acetone, and toluene mixed methyl mercaptan (MM) by UV reactor installed with $TiO_2$-coated perforated plate were studied. The photocatalytic decomposition rate of single toluene, toluene mixed with benzene, toluene mixed with acetone, and toluene mixed with MM fitted well on Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) kinetics equation. The maximum elimination capacity was obtained to be $628g/m^3{\cdot}d$ for single toluene, $499g/m^3{\cdot}d$ for toluene mixed with benzene, $318g/m^3{\cdot}d$ for toluene mixed with acetone, and $513g/m^3{\cdot}d$ for toluene mixed with MM, respectively. The negative effect in photocatalytic decomposition of toluene are found to be in the order of acetone>benzene>MM.

마그네트론 스퍼터링으로 Al과 Al 합금(Al-3wt%Si, Al-10wt%Si) 박막을 코팅하였다. 기판은 냉연강판과 Si 웨이퍼를 사용하였으며 알코올과 아세톤으로 초음파 세척 후 진공용기에서 플라즈마 청정을 실서히였다. 시편 청정이 끝나면 기판은 0, 30, 45, 60, 90도의 다양한 각도로 고정시켜 Al과 Al 합금 박막을 코팅하였다. 빗각 증착 기술(Oblique Angle Deposition: OAD)은 입사증기가 기판과 수직하지 않게 기울여 코팅하는 방법으로 조직을 다양하게 제어할 수 있다. 빗각으로 코팅한 순수한 Al 박막의 경우, 동일한 두께의 박막보다 반사율 및 표면조도, 내식성이 향상되는 결과를 얻었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 빗각 및 Si 함유량이 반사율 및 표면조도, 내식성에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석하였다. 기판의 위치에 따른 변화를 관찰하기 위해 시편은 좌, 우, 중간으로 구분하여 분석하였다. 단일층 박막의 경우 타겟과의 거리에 따른 두께 편차가 발생하였으며 이러한 두께 편차를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 동일한 각도를 유지하며 반대 방향으로 회전시켜 다층구조로 박막을 제조하였다. Si 함유량 및 빗각에 따른 반사율 및 표면조도를 분석하였으며 내식성 평가를 위한 염수 분무 테스트도 실시하여 각각의 공정 변수에 따른 결과를 비교 분석하였다.

Porous silicon exhibiting dual optical properties, both $Febry-P{\acute{e}}rot$ fringe (optical reflectivity) and photoluminescence had been developed and used as chemical sensors. Porous silicon samples were prepared by an electrochemical etch of p-type silicon wafer (boron-doped, <100> orientation, resistivity ; $1-10{\Omega}cm$). Two different types of porous silicon, fresh porous silicon (Si-H terminated) and oxidized porous silicon (Si-OH terminated)by the thermal oxidation, were prepared. Then the samples were exposed to the vapor of various organics, such as methanol, acetone, hexane, and toluene. Both reflectivity and photoluminescence were simultaneously measured under the exposure of organic vapors for sensing VOC's. These surface-modified samples showed unique respond in both reflectivity and photoluminescence with various organic vapors. While polar molecules exhibit greater quenching photoluminescence, molecules having higher vapor pressure show greater red shift for reflectivity.
