As conservation of global environment has becoming a major outstanding issue of the world, the International Maritime Organization(IMO) has been legislation a convention for prevention of air pollution from ships. By the new convention, use of air pollutants such as SOx, NOx, Freon and Halon Gas shall be restricted. In this regards, analysing these requirements of the convention is required as the convention will also be applied on restriction of discharging exhaust gases from ships by establishing a requirement of SOx and NOx discharged. The purposed of this study is as follows ; 1) Introducing of the backgrounds of legislating the convention for prevention of air pollution from ships and major contents of the convention and a countermeasures on the convention by Korea. 2) Reviewing by analyzing the influence on domestic industies concerned by restriction of SOx, NOx in exhaust gases and sulphur content of fuel oil. 3) Preparing a countermeasure on the convention properly.

본 연구는 폐플라스틱 재활용의 합리적인 방안을 제시하기 위한 기초자료로서 재활용방법(물질재활용, 에너지 회수, 화학적재활용)에 대한 주요 환경인자를 규명하며, 이를 토대로 전과정평가 도구(tool)인 시마프로 5.0을 이용하여 폐플라스틱의 재활용 방법별 환경성을 비교하였다. 폐플라스틱의 재생원료화 전 공정에 투입되는 투입산출물로 인한 환경부하(Original Impact)와 재생원료의 신재 대체를 고려한 환경부하 삭감효과(Avoided Impact)를 합한 최종 영향 평가를 토대로 재활용방법별 환경성을 비교하여 환경영향범주에 대하여 비교 평가하였다. 그 결과 폐플라스틱 재활용방법에 대한 각 영향범주별 주요 영향 요인은 지구온난화로 나타났다. 또한, 지구온난화에 대한 영향은 물질재활용, RDF공정 및 용기형 폐플라스틱 고로원료화공정이 음(-)의 값으로 환경삭감효과가 크게 나타났으며, 오존층 파괴에 대한 영향은 유화 공정이 환경부하가 가장 크게 나타났다. 산성화, 부영양화 및 광화학산화물 생성에 대한 영향은 용기형 고로원료화와 RDF공정이 환경부하삭감효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다.

Rubber products are aged like human complexion by the attack of oxygen, ultra violet, ozone, etc.. Aging is very important and also very complicated phenomenon to understand. This may explain the rarity of papers on this subject. In this study, we tried to understand the aging behavior of EPDM compared to that of natural rubber. We also compared the sulfur vulcanized system to the peroxide vulcanized one. In our experiment, the peroxide vulcanizates were more advantageous in aging than the sulfur vulcanizates. The authors belived that this study about the high performance EPDM would be applicable to rubber industry.

산업화로 인하여 토지의 사막화, 물부족, 오존층 파괴, 지구 온난화 등 많은 환경문제가 발생되었으며 아직 진행 중에 있다. 이에 UN에서는 환경 규제를 강화하였으며 국제해사기구(IMO:International Maritime Organization)에서는 선박의 배기가스 규제 강화를 위하여 NOx(질소산화물) 및 SOx(황산화물)의 배기량을 줄이도록 하고 있으며 2016년부터는 본격적으로 규제하려 하고 있다. 상기의 규제 물질 중 NOx를 제거하는 선택적환원촉매(SCR:Selectivity Catalytic Reduction) 시스템은 선박의 배기가스가 지나가는 통로에 요소수(Urea)를 분무하여 $260^{\circ}C$ 이상의 높은 온도에서 요소수에 있는 암모니아가 배기가스에 있는 NOx와 반응, 결합함으로서 NOx를 질소와 산소로 분리, 제거하는 방식이다. 하지만 선박의 경우 대부분 엔진이 2행정으로 배기가스 온도가 일반적으로 $180^{\circ}C{\sim}220^{\circ}C$이기 때문에 요소수에 있는 암모니아가 배기가스에 있는 NOx와 반응하지 않아 환원률이 높지 않다. 이에 우리는 초미세기포를 이용하여 낮은 온도에서도 반응할 수 있는 요소수 및 요소수 활성화 기기를 개발하여 상기의 문제점들을 최소화 할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 SCR 시스템의 점성유동해석을 통하여 보다 효율적인 SCR 시스템의 개발을 할 수 있도록 기여하였다.

An environmental evaluation was conducted by employing LCA methodology for a mechanical seal manufacturing process that uses recycled silicon recovered from end-of-cycle PV modules. The recycled silicon was purified and reacted with carbon to synthesize β-SiC particles. Then the particles underwent compression molding, calcination and heat treatment to produce a product. Field data were collected and the potential environmental impacts of each stage were calculated using the LCI DB of the Ministry of Environment. The assessment was based on 6 categories, which were abiotic resource depletion, acidification, eutrophication, global warming, ozone depletion and photochemical oxidant creation. The environmental impacts by category were 45 kg CO₂ for global warming and 2.23 kg C₂H₄ for photochemical oxide creation, and the overall environmental impact by photochemical oxide creation, resource depletion and global warming had a high contribution of 98.7% based on weighted analysis. The wet process of fine grinding and mixing the raw silicon and carbon, and SiC granulation were major factors that caused the environmental impacts. These impacts need to be reduced by converting to a dry process and using a system to recover and reuse the solvent emitted to the atmosphere. It was analyzed that the environmental impacts of resource depletion and global warming decreased by 53.9% and 60.7%, respectively, by recycling silicon from end-of-cycle PV modules. Weighted analysis showed that the overall environmental impact decreased by 27%, and the LCA analysis confirmed that recycling waste modules could be a major means of resource saving and realizing carbon neutrality.

본 연구는 GaN 기반의 전자소자의 표면 패시베이션 방법으로 열산화 공정을 이용한 알루미늄산화막 패시베이션 공정에 대하여 연구하였다. 결정질의 알루미늄산화물은 경도가 크고 화학적으로 안정적이기 때문에 외부 오염에 대한 소자 표면을 효과적으로 보호할 수 있으며, 열적안정성이 뛰어나 공정중 또는 공정 후의 고온 환경에서의 열 손상이 적은 장점을 가진다. 결정질 알루미늄산화막($Al_2O_3$)을 소자 표면에 형성하기 위해서 일반적으로 TMA (trimethlyaluminium)와 오존($O_3$)가스를 이용한 ALD 공정법이 사용되고 있으나 공정 비용이 비싸고 열산화막에 비해 전자 trapping이 많이 발생하여 전자이동도가 저하되는 단점이 있어, 본 연구에서는 열산화 공정을 이용하여 소자의 전기적 특성 저하를 발생시키지 않는 알루미늄산화막 패시베이션을 수행하였다. 실험에 사용된 기판은 AlGaN/GaN 이종접합 구조가 증착된 HEMT 제작용 기판을 사용하였으며 TLM 구조를 제작하여 소자의 채널 면저항 및 절연영역간 누설전류 특성을 확인하였다. TLM 구조가 제작된 샘플 위에 알루미늄을 100 ${\AA}$ 두께로 소자위에 증착하고 $O_2$ 분위기에서 약 $525{\sim}675^{\circ}C$ 온도로 3분간 열처리하여 알루미늄 산화막을 형성한 후 $950^{\circ}C$ 온도로 $N_2$ 분위기에서 30초간 안정화열처리 하여 안정한 알루미늄 산화막 패시베이션을 형성하였다. 알루미늄산화막 패시베이션 후 소자의 절연영역 사이의 누설전류는 패시베이션 전과 비슷한 크기를 나타냈고 패시베이션 후 채널의 면저항이 패시베이션 전에 비해 약 20% 감소한 것을 확인하였다. 또한 패시베이션된 소자와 패시베이션되지않은 소자에 대해 $900^{\circ}C$ 온도로 30초간 열처리한 결과 패시베이션 되지 않은 소자는 74%만큼 채널 면저항이 증가하였으며, 절연영역 누설전류가 다섯오더 크기로 증가한 반면 알루미늄산화막 패시베이션한 소자는 단지 13%의 채널 면저항의 증가를 나타내었고 절연영역 누설전류는 100배 감소한 값을 보여 알루미늄산화막 패시베이션이 소자의 열적 안정성을 향상시키는 것을 확인하였다.

As environmental matters such as Green House Effect rise, many construction industries are putting an effort on minimizing environmental impact in terms of building life cycle throughout the world. However, in South Korea, evaluating the eco-friendly building based on life cycle assessment has been facing an academic ostracism while the most studies are focusing on assessing the 6 environmental impact assessments of passive apartment based on life cycle assessment. The theoretical consideration of the life cycle assessment and environmental impact category were performed and the direction of the study was set up. Also, existing apartment and passive apartment, which had same structure and same type were chosen and building materials per unit area were compared to find out the difference environmental impact for building life cycle. As a result, passive apartment was rated as low level among the 6 environmental impacts. Also, effect of building material on passive apartment was more important than its operational stage.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has been studied on the reuse of glass bottles. The system boundary in this study encompassed from gate to gate such as production and transportation. A 360 mL volume of a glass bottle was selected as the functional unit. The environmental impact assessments was studied on 6 categories including abiotic resource depletion, acidification, eutrophication, global warming, ozone depletion, and photochemical oxidant creation. The results showed that the most significant impact categories were abiotic resource depletion (48.63%) and global warming (46.27%), and the rest categories revealed insignificant impacts. In the whole system, the chemicals used for the new bottle production revealed the major contribution to the environmental impacts (71.24%), followed by the use of electricity (16.74%) and transportation (11.8%). In addition, the environmental impact of sodium silicate to be put into the stage of the new bottle production was found to be 45.68%, causing severe influence on abiotic resource depletion and global warming.

This study proposed a life cycle impact assessment index that can indicate the environment-related information of the product in monetary value such that the national geographical, environmental, and social features are fully reflected based on a damage-oriented model. First, the estimation process was classified into characterization, damage assessment, and integration stages considering the six biggest impact categories: resource depletion, global warming, ozone depletion, acidification, eutrophication, and photochemical oxidant creation. Moreover, this study came up with the 16 category endpoints related to the 6 impact categories, and the damage function, to the 4 largest safeguard subjects. The integration indices of finally identified impact categories were KRW 21.8/kg Sb, KRW 6.19/kg$CO_2$, KRW 53,000/kg CFC-11, KRW 13,100/kg $SO_2$, KRW 2,310/kg ${PO_4}^{3-}$, and KRW 3,030/kg $C_2H_4$. Using the results of this research, environmental impacts based on the environmental load generated throughout the entire life cycle of a product can serve as a single index in monetary value; thus enhancing understanding and utilization of the results of life cycle impact assessments.
