Carbon coils could be synthesized on nickel catalyst layer-deposited silicon oxide substrate using $C_2H_2$ and $H_2$ as source gases and $SF_6$ as an additive gas under thermal chemical vapor deposition system. The characteristics (formation density and morphology) of as-grown carbon coils according to the injection stage of $SF_6$ gas incorporation were investigated. A continuous injecting of $SF_6$ gas flow could give rise to many types of carbon coils-related geometries, namely linear tub, micro-sized coil, nano-sized coil, and wave-like nano-sized coil. However, the limitation of the geometry as the nano-sized geometries of carbon coils could be achieved by the incorporation of $SF_6$ in a short time (1 min) during the initial deposition stage. A delayed injection of a short time $SF_6$ gas flow can deteriorate the limitation of the geometries. It confirms that the injection time and its starting point of $SF_6$ gas flow would be very important to determine the geometries of carbon coils.

Carbon coils could be synthesized on nickel catalyst layer-deposited silicon oxide substrate using $C_2H_2$ and $H_2$ as source gases and $SF_6$ as an additive gas under thermal chemical vapor deposition system. The characteristics (formation density and morphology) of as-grown carbon coils were investigated as functions of additive gas flow rate and the cycling on/off modulation of $C_2H_2/SF_6$ flows. Even in the lowest $SF_6$ flow rate (5 sccm) in this work, the cycling on/off modulation injection of $SF_6$ flow for 2 minutes could give rise to the formation of nanosized carbon coils, whereas the continuous injection of $SF_6$ flow for 5 minutes could not give rise to the carbon coils formation. With increasing $SF_6$ flow rates from 5 to 30 sccm, the cycling on/off modulation injection of $SF_6$ flow confines the geometry for the carbon coils to the nanosized ones. Fluorine's role of $SF_6$ during the reaction was regarded as the main cause for the confinement of carbon coils geometries to the nano-sized ones.

The growth behavior of $CH_4$ and $SF_6$ mixture gas hydrate has been investigated by a combined approach of Raman spectroscopy and molecular modeling. Raman spectroscopy results presented that when $CH_4$ is used only, $CH_4$ guest molecule is inserted first into the large cavity of the host structure built by $H_2O$ molecules and then into the small cavity to stabilize the whole gas hydrate structure. In the other hand, when $SF_6$ is mixed together, $SF_6$ is favored over (or competing with) $CH_4$ in being inserted into the large cavity and the small cavity still prefers $CH_4$ insertion. The calculations of binding energies clearly supported this. While $SF_6$ has a binding energy of -26.9 kcal/mol a little lower than -24.2 kcal/mol of $CH_4$ in the large cavity, $SF_6$ and $CH_4$ has 1.2 kcal/mol and -22.0 kcal/mol, respectively, in the small cavity. It indicates that the sizable $SF_6$ is not preferred in the small cavity but has a relative energetic advantage over $CH_4$ in the large cavity.

$SF_6$ has an extremely high global worming potential (GWP). Therefore, there has been an effort to reduce the use of $SF_6$ and its emission into atmosphere. One possible solution for minimizing the use of $SF_6$ in electrical equipments is utilization of gas mixtures such as $SF_6/N_2$. The $SF_6$ concentration in the gas mixture varies from 10 to 60%. However, when the apparatus is repaired or dismantled, we have to recover $SF_6$ from the gas mixture. Since the boiling point of $SF_6$is low (${\sim}-60^{\circ}C$), the liquefaction method is difficult to apply. One possible alternative is the membrane separation technology. In this study, we investigated the $SF_6$ and $N_2$ permeation properties of 5 polymeric membranes. For example, permeability of $N_2$ in BOPP membrane at $25^{\circ}C$was 0.19 barrer, whereas that of $SF_6$ was only 0.0012 barrer, resulting in the selectivity of 158. An upper bound for $SF_6/N_2$ gas pair was suggested for the first time with n = -1.33 and k = 160 (barrer).

가스하이드레이트는 물분자들의 수소결합에 의하여 입체 그물구조를 만들게 되면 그 그물구조의 공동(Cavity) 내에 크기가 작은 가스 분자들이 포획되면서 형성되는 결정체이다. 이러한 원리로 포획되어질 수 있는 가스는 130여종에 이른다. 포획가능한 가스 분자들 중 $SF_6$의 경우 보다 쉬운 조건에서 하이드레이트 형성이 되는 점을 이용하여 $SF_6$의 분리 회수에 하이드레이트의 형성 원리를 적용하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 압력조건과 조성변화를 달리하여 $SF_6$ 하이드레이트 형성 특성을 관찰하였다. 본 연구에서 하이드레이트 결정 형성 특성 및 형성 속도에 대한 실험과 분석을 통한 결과를 확보함으로써 향후 $SF_6$ 하이드레이트의 생산, 저장, 회수, 분리 등의 설계의 기본자료로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Carbon coils could be synthesized on nickel catalyst layer-deposited silicon oxide substrate using $C_2H_2$ and $H_2$ as source gases and SF6 as an additive gas under thermal chemical vapor deposition system. The geometries of as-grown carbon materials were investigated with increasing the reaction temperature as the increment of $25^{\circ}C$ from $650^{\circ}C$ up to $800^{\circ}C$. At $650^{\circ}C$, the embryos for carbon coils were formed. With increasing the reaction temperature to $700^{\circ}C$, the coil-type geometries were developed. Further increasing the reaction temperature to $775^{\circ}C$, the development of wave-like nano-sized coils, instead of nano-sized coils, and occasional appearance of micro-sized carbon coils could be observed. Fluorine in $SF_6$ additive may shrink the micro-sized coil diameter via the reduction of Ni catalyst size by fluorine's etching role. Finally, the preparation of the micro-sized carbon coils having the smaller coil diameters, compared with the previously reported ones, could be possible using $SF_6$ additive.

$SF_6$ 가스는 높은 절연 특성으로 인해 산업공정에서 순수 또는 $N_2$ 나 $CO_2$ 가스를 혼합시켜 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 그러나 $SF_6$ 가스의 지구온난화지수는 $CO_2$ 대비 23,900배로 환경에 치명적인 영향을 줄 수 있으므로, $SF_6$ 가스에 대한 분리 및 처리에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 조성에 따른 $SF_6-N_2$ 혼합기체의 3상평형(물-하이드레이트-기체)점을 측정하였다. 측정결과 $N_2$가 더 많이 첨가된 혼합기체일수록 순수 $SF_6$의 상평형 조건보다 더 높은 압력, 더 낮은 온도에서 형성됨을 알 수 있었고 라만분석으로 실제 만들어진 하이드레이트 내에 혼합기체를 확인하였다. 또한 하이드레이트 형성속도 및 회수기체의 조성을 측정하여 분리 및 회수의 효율을 살펴보았다. 본 실험에서 얻어진 결과는 $SF_6$ 혼합기체의 분리 및 처리에 관한 연구의 중요한 기초 자료가 될 것이다.

하이드레이트는 저온.고압에서 저분자량의 게스트(guest)가 호스트(host)인 물분자 속에 포획되어 만들어지는데 일련의 과정은 물리적 반응을 통해 생성된다.본 연구에서는$CO_2$보다 지구온난화지수(Global Warming Potential)가 23,900배 높은 $SF_6$의 회수 및 정제기술로써 하이드레이트화를 이용하는 신기술 개발의 일환으로 분광학적 접근을 통해 $SF_6$ 혼합 하이드레이트의 정성 및 정량분석을 수행하였다. Raman Shift 분석 결과 $SF_6$의 $770cm^{-1}$에서 $v_1$ 진동주파수를 확인함으로써 하이드레이트 내 $SF_6$가 안정적으로 포집됨을 확인하였고 혼합가스 내 $SF_6$ 농도별로 만들어진 샘플의 Raman Shift를 통해서 $SF_6$의 하이드레이트 전환율을 가늠할 수 있었다.

Destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of $SF_6$ was tested with varying degrees of ionization and initial concentrations of $SF_6$. The applied dose of ionization energy varied from 0 to 400 kGy. The initial concentration of $SF_6$ gas also varied from 1,000 ppm to 2,500 ppm. In order to assess the effect of a residence time on DRE (Destruction and Removal Efficiency, %), experiments were also conducted at different irradiation times of 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20 sec, respectively. The DRE of $SF_6$ increased with an increasing amount of dose and current. Regardless of initial concentration of $SF_6$, 90% level of DRE was achieved by applying over 10 mA of electrical current.
