In this study, we developed the CCPP calculating program, which is a kind of index and can determine whether calcium carbonate would precipitate or not in pipe line of water distribution system. Through 9 complicated procedures, CCPP can be calculated. Assuming pH of equilibrium as a first trial, compare the right-hand-side result with left-hand-side result. If the percentage difference between the two results is less than a prescribed tolerance, the initial assumption for the assumed equilibrium pH is adequate. If the difference is too large, make a different assumption and repeat until a result within the prescribed tolerance is achieved. Plugging the intermediate results into the final equation, we could compute the CCPP. Using Fortran and Visual Basic languages, we developed the program. As a result of application of the program, the water quality of intaking water of Han River is highly corrosive by the index of CCPP.

In this study, the performance of an impeller according to blade length and pitch angle was studied experimentally by building a variable pitch impeller while changing blade length to review the effect of blade length and pitch angle on a fan's performance. The pitch angle was changed in six steps from $20^{\circ}{\sim}45^{\circ}$ at intervals of $5^{\circ}$ while the blade lengths were changed to 90 mm, 100 mm, 110 mm and 120 mm with an identical airfoil shape while carrying out the experiment. The results are summarized as follows : The air flow per static pressure of axial fans increased linearly with increase of pitch angle, but the high static pressure showed a decrease at a pitch angle of $35^{\circ}$. The shaft power increased proportionally to the pitch angle at all blade lengths; the larger the pitch angle, the larger the measured increase of shaft power. This is because the drag at the fan's front increases with the pitch angle. In the axial fans considered in this research, the flow and incre.

최근 IT산업의 급속한 발달로 모바일 제품과 반도체 및 IC 패키지 등의 전자제품의 소형화, 경량화 및 고성능화되어 가고 있다. 따라서 반도체 공정에서 단위소자의 고속화를 구현하기 위한 금속배선공정에 사용되는 금속재료가 최근에 최소 선폭을 갖는 디바이스에서는 구리를 배선 재료로 전환하고, 향후에는 모든 디바이스가 구리를 주요 배선재료로 사용할 것으로 예측되고 있다. 반도체 소자 공정 중 시료 표면 위에 형성되는 오염물은 파티클, 유기오염물, 금속 불순물 그리고 자연 산화막으로 나눌 수 있다. 구리 표면에 생성되는 부식생성물의 종류에는 CuO, $Cu_2O$, $Cu(OH)_2$, $CuCO_3{\cdot}Cu(OH)_2$와 같은 생성물들이 있다. 이러한 부식생성물이 구리박막 표면에 형성이 되면 성장된 구리박막의 특성을 저하시키게 된다. 이러한 다양한 오염물들을 제거하기 위해서 여러 가지 전처리 공정에 대한 연구가 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서, 스퍼터 방식으로 구리를 증착한 웨이퍼 (Cu/Ti/Si) 를 대기 중에 노출시켜 자연 산화막을 성장시키고, 이 산화막과 대기로부터 흡착된 불순물을 제거하기 위해 계면 활성제인 TS-40A와 $NH_4OH$ 수용액을 사용하여 이들 수용액이 구리 표면층에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사 분석하였다. 사용된 TS-40A는 알칼리 탈지제로서 웨이퍼 표면의 유기물을 제거하는 역할을 하며, $NH_4OH$는 구리를 제거하는 부식액으로 산업현장에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 다양한 표면 전처리 조건에 따른 구리박막 표면의 형상 및 미시적 특성변화를 SEM과 AFM을 이용하여 관찰하였고, 표면의 화학구조 및 성분 변화를 관찰하기 위해 XPS를 측정하였으며, 전기적 특성변화를 관찰하기 위해 4-point prove를 사용하여 박막의 면저항을 측정하였다.

The metal finishing industry generates a variety of pollutants such as acidic or alkaline wastewater, chromic compounds, cyanide, heavy metals, and toxic materials. Especially, zinc plating process is one of the processes which cause serious environmental problems. In this study, we applied the proven optimum technology to important unit processes in terms of implement effects through the process diagnosis and analysis. This study aimed to improve the working environment and the environmental pollutions in zinc plating process.

In this research, the has been speculation about effects of pH, alkalinity, and chloride, each of which are major factors in water for the corrosion of copper pipes frequently used as the distribution system throughout the world. It is believed that these factors release a corrosion by-product. The results show the following that the first, for each water sample of pH 7, 8 and 9, various concentrations of alkalinity at 10, 50, 100, 150 mg/L was tested. It was found that conditions of higher pH led to decreased concentrations of copper by-product. For each pH, higher alkalinity produced higher concentrations of copper by-product. the second, higher chloride concentrations led to decreased concentrations of copper by-product. Apparently this was due to the Nantokite(CuCl) formation on the inner walls of the copper pipes with the passage of time. The third, when 25, 50mg/L of chloride were added, the average decreasing rate of copper release concentration was 45.7, 66.7%, respectively.

로듐은 열전도성 및 전기전도도가 우수할 뿐 아니라 산/알칼리에 잘 부식되지 않으며 강한 내구성을 지니고 있어서 장식 및 액세서리의 표면처리 및 각종 전기/전자산업의 부품으로 널리 이용되어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 반도체 검사 장비인 프로브 카드에 조립되어 있는 프로브 니들의 내마모성을 향상시키기 위하여 로듐도금의 특성을 연구하였다. 로듐의 이온 공급원으로 Rhodium sulfate 를 사용하였다. 시편은 황동 시편($0.5cm{\times}2cm$)을 사용하였다. 로듐 도금 시 여러 가지 제어인자 중도금욕의 온도(상온, $40^{\circ}C$, $60^{\circ}C$)와 황산농도(10ml/l, 50ml/l, 100ml/l) 그리고 전류밀도(0.2ASD, 0.5ASD, 1.0ASD)를 변수로 하여 실험을 하였다. 각각의 변수에 따라 전류 효율 및 전착 속도를 분석하였으며, 현미경을 이용하여 표면을 관찰하였다. 그리고 비커스 경도계를 이용하여 경도를 측정하였다.

This study examined the effect of environmental variables, such as the NaOH concentration and solution temperature, on the rate of hydrogen generation from NaOH solutions through the corrosion of used aluminum cans as a potential candidate material for the safe and economic production of hydrogen. Corrosion of the used aluminum cans was promoted by increasing the NaOH concentration and solution temperature because of the loss of aluminum passivity. The measured rate of hydrogen generation from the NaOH solutions increased with increasing NaOH concentration due to the catalytic activity of NaOH in the hydrolysis process. However, at higher solution temperatures, the rate of hydrogen generation rate was less affected by the NaOH concentration than that at lower temperature.

This study investigated the effects of pH, alkalinity, and chlorine ion which are important water quality impact factors to the corrosion in the simulated distribution system where the copper pipe is affixed. The result shows that pitting index was increased as the alkalinity and chloride ion increase in the distilled water, but there was no relation to pH. Actually the uniform corrosion rate was decreased as the pH increase with the laboratory tap water. In conclusion, it is necessary to control the pH which stands above minimum 7.5 to prevent pitting corrosion in the copper pipe. Consequently, comprehensive research about the effect of lime soda($Ca(OH)_2$) which was used as a coagulation additive in the water treatment plant to pipe corrosion must be accomplished additionally.

Aluminum alloy was examined as a material of low weight reactor for hydrolysis of $NaBH_4$. Aluminum is dissolved with alkali, but there is NaOH as a stabilizer in $NaBH_4$ solution. To decrease corrosion rate of aluminum, decrease NaOH concentration and this result in loss of $NaBH_4$ during storage of $NaBH_4$ solution. Therefore stability of $NaBH_4$ and corrosion of aluminum should be considered in determining the optimum NaOH concentration. $NaBH_4$ stability and corrosion rate of aluminum were measured by hydrogen evolution rate. $NaBH_4$ stability was tested at $20{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ and aluminum corrosion was measured at $60{\sim}90^{\circ}C$. The optimum concentration of NaOH was 0.3 wt%, considering both $NaBH_4$ stability and aluminun corrosion. $NaBH_4$ hydrolysis reaction continued 200min in aluminum No 6061 alloy reactor with 0.3 wt% NaOH at $80{\sim}90^{\circ}C$.

Material and Method: Esophageal reconstruction by the hypopharyngointestinal anastomosis was done in 7 patients of corrosive upper esophageal stricture at St. Mary's Hospital from August 1995 to January 1997. Result: There were one male and six female patients ranging from 20 to 63 years of age. The causative agents were acid in 6 patients and alkali in 1 patient. The esophageal reconstruction was made by hypopharyngcolojejunostomy in 4 patients and hypopharyngocologastrostomy in 3 patients. There were no operative mortalities. One patient developed anastomotic stenosis but others were free from dysphagia. All gained 4 kg to 13 kg of body weight during the follow-up period. Conclusion: In this experience right colon and terminal ileum including ileocecal valve was revealed as a good substitute for the esophagus and the esophageal reconstruction by hypopharyngocologastro (jejuno)stomy seems to be a satisfactory method with acceptable morbidity and mortality in corrosive upper esophageal stricture patient.
