We established a top-down methodology to estimate carbon footprint as national mean value (reference) with the statistical data on agri-livestock incomes in 2007. We also established LCI (life cycle inventory) DB by a bottom-up methodology with the data obtained from interview with farmers from 4 large-scale farms at Gunsan, Jeollabuk-do province to estimate carbon footprint in 2011. This study was carried out to compare top-down methodology and bottom-up methodology in performing LCA (life cycle assessment) to analyze the difference in GHGs (greenhouse gases) emission and carbon footprint under conventional rice cultivation system. Results of LCI analysis showed that most of $CO_2$ was emitted during fertilizer production and rice cultivation, whereas $CH_4$ and $N_2O$ were mostly emitted during rice cultivation. The carbon footprints on conventional rice production system were 2.39E+00 kg $CO_2$-eq. $kg^{-1}$ by top-down methodology, whereas 1.04E+00 kg $CO_2$-eq. $kg^{-1}$ by bottom-up methodology. The amount of agro-materials input during the entire rice cultivation for the two methodologies was similar. The amount of agro-materials input for the bottom-up methodology was sometimes greater than that for top-down methodology. While carbon footprint by the bottom-up methodology was smaller than that by the top-down methodology due to higher yield per cropping season by the bottom-up methodology. Under the conventional rice production system, fertilizer production showed the highest contribution to the environmental impacts on most categories except GWP (global warming potential) category. Rice cultivation was the highest contribution to the environmental impacts on GWP category under the conventional rice production system. The main factors of carbon footprints under the conventional rice production system were $CH_4$ emission from rice paddy field, the amount of fertilizer input and rice yield. Results of this study will be used for establishing baseline data for estimating carbon footprint from 'low carbon certification pilot project' as well as for developing farming methods of reducing $CO_2$ emission from rice paddy fields.

ln an attempt to define the effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on the lipid peroxidation and oxygen See radical reactions in rats exposed to carbon monoxide, we studied malondialdehyde(MDA) level and activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase in the heart of the rats exposed to carbon monoxide. Male Sprague-Dawley albino rats weighing 240 to 260gm were used. Experimental groups consist of Control group (=breathing with air), HBO group(=exposed to hyperbaric oxygen(HBO, 3ATA, 100%) after air breath), CO group(=exposed to CO(3,970 ppm) after air breath), CO-Air group(=exposed to CO after air breath followed by air breath) and CO-HBO group(=exposed to CO after ai. breath followed HBO treatment). The CO group showed significantly higher MDA level, catalase activity and SOD activity as compared to that of control group. The CO-HBO group showed significantly lower MDA level as compared to that of CO group, and did not show significantly lower catalase activity and SOD activity as compared to that of CO group. These results suggest that the excessive oxygen free radicals is an important determinant in pathogenesis of Co-induced cardiotoxicity and HBO inhibits the lipid peroxidation caused by excessive oxygen free radicals in the heart of the rats exposed to carbon monoxide.

오존은 PE나 고무 등 고분자재료(高分子材料)의 표면(表面)에 존재하는 이중결합(二重結合)에 대(對)하여 친전자적부가반응(親電子的付加反應)으로 ozonide가 생성되고 이어서 제(第)3급(級) 수소(水素)를 공격하므로서 주쇄(主鎖)가 절단된다. 따라서 aldehyde, ketone 등의 carbonyl 화합물(化合物)이 생성된다. 이들이 재료표면(材料表面)의 굴곡변형(變形)의 증가에 따라 열(熱) 또는 공(光)에 의하여 다시 분해(分解)를 촉진시킨다. 2개(個)의 N분자(原子)에 방향족(芳香族) 및 지방족기(脂肪族基)를 각각 치환시킨 p - phenylene diamine 유도체(誘導體) 등과 같은 전자공흥성(電子供與性)이 큰 화합물(化合物)은 친전자적(親電子的)인 오존과 우선적으로 3급(級) 수소에 비하면 약 100 배(倍)로 반응성이 크다는것을 표(表)3으로 알수 있다. 미단이중결합(未端二重結合)에 대한 오존과의 반응은 다음 반응식과 같이 이중결합(二重結合)에 오존의 부가반응(付加反?)으로 개시(開始)되어 peroxi methylene이 유리되면서 미단(未端)은 aldehyde로 변화한다. 또 1개의 반응은 제(第)3급(級) 탄소-수소 결합에 오존이 삽입되고 계속 일어나는 분해반응으로서 hydroperoxide의 생성 및 탈염화수소(脫鹽化水素)반응이 일어난다. 이와같은 반응(反?)으로 생성(生成)된 내부(內部) 이중결합(二重結合)에 대한 오존의 반응은 olefin의 경우와 마찬가지로 molozonide나 ozonide의 과정을 거쳐 주쇄(主鎖)가 개열(開裂)되는 것이다.

Using poly(3-methylthiophene) conducting polymer film electrodes, feasiblity for Ag determination by stripping voltammetry has been studied. Ag ions accumulated by complexation with 18-crown-6, which are existing on the surface of the polymer film electrode, migrate inside of polymer film through potential scanning within limited potential range, and then are reduced and oxidized on the glassy carbon substrate. Therefore, the polymer film must have proper thickness and porosity for easy penetration of Ag ions. On the basis of these experimental results, $5.0{\times}10^{-6}M$ Ag(I) in aqueous solution could be determined.

Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) using nafion-coated glassy carbon electrodes modified with Tetren(tetraethylene pentamine)-glycerol showed sensitivity for determining lead (II) at low concentration. The Lead (II) was accumulated on the electrode surface by the formation of the complex in an open circuit, and the resulting surface was characterized by medium exchange, electrochemical reduction, and differential pulse voltammetry. Various experimental parameters, such as the composition of modifier, preconcentration time, pH of electrolyte (0.1 M acetate buffer), and parameters of differential pulse voltammetry, were optimized. The initial potential was applied for 50 s, the electrode was scanned from -0.9 to -0.3 V, and the anodic peak current was measured at -0.604 V $\pm$ 0.015 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The calibration plot was obtained in the range 1.0$\times$10$^{-8}$ M~l.0$\times$10$^{-6}$ M with pH 4.5 buffer solution. The detection limit (3$\sigma$) it as low as 5.0$\times$ 10$^{-9}$ M. This method is applied to the determination of lead(II) in a certified reference material and the result agrees satisfactorily with the certified value.

We have grown carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with a microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPECVD) method, which has been regard as one of the most promising candidates for the synthesis of CNTs due to the vertical alignment, the low temperature and the large area growth. We use methane ($CH_4$) and hydrogen ($H_2$) gas for the growth of CNTs. 60 nm thick Ni catalytic layer were deposited on the TiN coated glass substrate by RF magnetron sputtering method. In this work, we report the effects of pressure on the growth of CNTs. We have changed pressure of processing (10 $\sim$ 20 Torr) deposition of CNTs. SEM (Scanning electron microscopy) images show diameter, length and cross section state CNTs.

발열체는 전기 에너지를 열 에너지로 변환시키는 전기 저항체인데, Ni-Cr계 합금이 발열 가능 온도가 범위가 크고 열 효율 및 내 산화성, 내 부식성이 우수하여 발열체로 많이 사용되고 있다. 그리고 기존의 선형 발열체의 효율성을 개선한 면상 발열체가 개발되었고, 최근 나노 기술의 발달로 나노크기의 ITO(Indium Tin Oxide) 입자나 탄소나노튜브가 코팅된 형태의 투명 면상 발열체가 개발되어 주목을 받고 있다. 투명 면상 발열체는 발열체의 형태를 거시적으로 확인할 수 없기 때문에 자동차의 전면 유리 히터 및 건축용 기능성 창호 등의 심미적 효과를 요구하는 제품에 사용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 PVP(Poly vinyl Pirrolidone)을 이용하여 Ni-Cr Nanofiber 제조를 위한 효율적인 전기 방사 조건을 도출한다. PVP 질량에 따라서 Ethanol과 Methanol, 물을 이용하여 viscosity와 ion conduciviy를 조절하였고, 전기방사 조건으로 bead를 최소화 하는 나노섬유를 얻었다. 이어서 Ni-Cr/PVP 용액은 Metal Precursor wt.% 조절 및 방사조건으로 100~300nm의 직경을 가진 나노 섬유를 얻을 수 있었다. 산화/환원 열처리 후 PVP와 Oxide가 제거된 Ni-Cr nanofiber를 합성하였다. Nanofiber 형상은 FE-SEM으로 측정하였으며, XRD, FT-IR 분석을 통해 제작된 나노 섬유의 구조적 특성을 확인하였다.

LFG는 약 4,500kcal/$m^3$의 높은 발열량을 가지는 에너지원으로 활용이 가능한 동시에 GWP가 21인 $CH_4$를 제거함으로써 탄소배출권(CERs) 확보를 통해 CDM 또는 ET 시장에서 유리한 위치를 선점할 수 있다. LFG의 활용기술에는 발전과 중질가스 및 고질가스 형태의 연료로 생산하는 방식이 있다. 하지만 기존의 기술은 LFG의 발생량이 일정규모 이상인 매립지에서 경제성을 가지기 때문에 국내에서는 14곳의 대형 매립지에서만 에너지원으로 활용하고 있다. 그 외 중소규모 매립지에서는 대기중으로 방출하거나 소각하여 처리하므로 가용한 에너지원이 버려지고 있을 뿐만 아니라 지구온난화에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 중소규모 매립지에서 발생하는 LFG를 경제성을 가지는 에너지원으로 활용하기 위하여 하이드레이트화를 이용한 $CH_4$ 분리, 정제, 수송 연구를 진행하였으며, 이러한 연구의 일환으로 pure $CH_4$를 대상으로 하이드레이트 형성 시 구동력(driving force)에 따른 induction time, growth rate, gas consumption 측정을 통하여 LFG를 이용한 가스 하이드레이트 생산을 위한 운전조건 선정을 위한 기본 자료로 사용하고자 한다.
