Korean overseas construction contracts reached 40 billion dollars in 2008. In this paper, the economic factors of "the record high growth since 1980's 'overseas construction boom' is investigated. Firstly, most of the contracts were made in the Middle East OPEC countries which made large scale construction investments with the increasing oil revenues... Secondly. large portion of the contracts is heavy industrial plants, in which Korean construction firms have enjoyed comparative advantages. Thirdly, Korean construction firms have been forced to pay attention to the overseas markets, due to the domestic slump of the construction industry.

국내 물시장은 100%에 가까운 상·하수도 서비스 수준을 달성한 지 오래다. 결과적으로 국내 물시장은 한계에 이르렀다는 평가와 함께 국내 물산업의 지속가능한 발전을 위해서는 포화된 국내 시장을 벗어나 해외 신시장을 발굴해야 한다는 견해가 보편적이다.. 그리고 정부에서는 2006년 물산업 육성 전략을 수립하는 한편 국내 물기업의 해외시장 진출을 위해 다각적인 정책을 수립·추진하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 지역별·국가별 특성을 고려한 물시장 진출 전략의 필요성 관점에서 타겟시장으로 주목을 받고 있는 국가 사우디아라비아의 물시장 특성을 검토함으로써 국내 기업의 현지 진입 전략을 제시하였다. 사우디아라비아 정부는 '비전 2030'에 의거 시설 및 서비스 확대, 민간참여 등 물 부문의 성과목표를 제시하였으며, 물시장 규모는 2021년 기준 116억 $ 규모로 추정된다 추정된다(GWI, 2021). 현지 물시장 관련 SWOT 분석 결과는 인프라와 담수화 분야에 대한 지속적 투자 및 시장 개방화, 그리고 다수의 레퍼런스 보유 등이 기회이자 강점인 반면 오일머니 중심의 산업구조, 정부 중심의 투자, 높은 시장경쟁 등은 약점이자 위기로 분석되었다. 그리고 본 연구는 현지 물시장 진입 전략으로 첫째, 현지 정부 및 기업과의 협력 강화를 통한 정보취득, 둘째, 향후 성장 가능성이 높은 담수화 관련 에너지 효율 제고, 막힘현상(파울링) 등에 대한 혁신 기술 및 가격경쟁력 확보, 셋째, 프로젝트 수주, 소재·부품 등의 수출을 위한 현지화(지사, 사무소, 연구소 등 개설) 등을 제시하였다.

Oil formation rate, composition of crude oil and formation of side products such as ${\alpha}-methyl$ styrene, ethyl benzene, benzene, toluene, dimer and trimer on thermal degradation of polystyrene were affected by various factors. Especially, formation of organic residue formed during reaction gave an important influence on formation of oil and composition of crude oil. Also, composition of formed crude oil showed a significant difference on reaction time. These results were caused by organic residue and carbonized solid formed during continuous reaction. Increase of residue and carbonized solid gave a decrease of yield of styrene and an increase of formation of ${\alpha}-methyl$ styrene, ethyl benzene, benzene, toluene. New reaction system was proposed for continuous operation at the thermal degradation of polystyrene.

Responses to marine oil spills can be classified Into categories; 1) mechanical treatment using booms and skimmers, 2) chemical one utilizing dispersants, 3) controlled in-situ burning of spilled oils. In the present paper, characteristics, history, present issues, advantages and disadvanteges, and future applicability of in-situ burning technology which is nowadays winning much attention are summarized on the basis of a survey of related papers and other resources.

This study aimed to fundamentally understand structural changes of zeolite under pressure and in the presence of different pressure-transmitting media (PTM) for application studies such as immobilization of heavy metal cation or CO₂ storage using pressure. High-pressure X-ray powder diffraction study was conducted on the zeolite-W (K_6.4Al_6.5Si_25.8O₆₄× 15.3H₂O, K-MER) to understand linear compressibility and the bulk moduli in different PTM conditions. Zeolite-w is a synthetic material having the same framework as natural zeolite merlinoite ((K, Ca_0.5, Ba_0.5, Na)₁₀ Al₁₀Si₂₂O₆₄× 22H₂O). The space group of the sample was identified as I4/mmm belonging to the tetragonal crystal system. Water, carbon dioxide, and silicone-oil were used as pressure-transmitting media. The mixture of sample and each PTM was mounted in a diamond anvil cell (DAC) and then pressurized up to 3 GPa with an increment of ca. 0.5 GPa. Pressure-induced changes of powder diffraction patterns were measured using a synchrotron X-ray light source. Lattice constants, and bulk moduli were calculated using the Le-Bail method and the Birch-Murnaghan equation. In all PTM conditions, linear compressibility of c-axis (𝛽^c) was 0.006(1) GPa^-1 or 0.007(1) GPa^-1. On the other hand, the linear compressibility of a(b)-axis (𝛽^a) was 0.013(1) GPa^-1 in silicone-oil run, which is twice more compressible than the a(b)-axis in water and carbon dioxide runs, 𝛽^a = 0.006(1) GPa^-1. The bulk moduli were measured as 50(3) GPa, 52(3) GPa, and 29(2) GPa in water, carbon dioxide, and silicone-oil run, respectively. The orthorhombicities of ac-plane in the water, and carbon dioxide runs were comparatively constant, near 0.350~0.353, whereas the value decreased abruptly in the silicone-oil run following formula, y = -0.005(1)x + 0.351(1) by non-penetrating pressure fluid condition.
