In this study, the removal efficiency of the wetland in terms of particulate matter and dead water zone through the application of baffles in the sedimentation were simulated with the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to determine the design of a cost-effective constructed wetland. As a result, it was analyzed that the application of the baffle in the sedimentation tank affect the flow and sedimentation rate. Fine particles such as $2{\mu}m$ and $5{\mu}m$ showed high sedimentation rate when the baffles are installed horizontally. large particles such as $10{\mu}m$ and $20{\mu}m$ showed also high deposition rate when the baffles are installed vertically. In addition, the vertical baffles is considered to be more efficient than other baffle types in terms of maintenance since the particulate matter are concentrated in narrow areas. Therefore, it is considered that the selection of the most applicable type of baffle depends on the design purpose of the wetland to be constructed.

Constructed wetlands are widely applied in urban and rural areas for various purposes such as pollutants reduction, acquisition of eco-spaces and habitats, flooding reduction, acquisition of water resources and environmental education. Since the design of constructed wetlands utilizes ecosystems, special consideration must be given to ecological mechanisms, environmental mechanisms and hydrological mechanisms. To ensure the sustainable functionality of constructed wetlands, it is necessary to achieve stable flow rate and velocity, and remove sediments to ensure sufficient space for detention. To enhance the efficiency of constructed wetland sedimentation basins, this study determined the optimal position for baffle installation, and applied Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to the cross-sectional design of wetlands. CFD analysis revealed that the decrease in flow velocity with baffle installation enhanced the efficiency of sedimentation of particulate matters. Vertical baffles had higher sedimentation efficiency than those with an inclined angle. When vertical baffles were installed in the sedimentation basin of a hybrid constructed wetland to reduce non-point source pollutants in urban areas, the average flow velocity within the basin decreased by 10~30%, while the sedimentation efficiency improved by 1.3~1.5 times. The application of CFD to constructed wetlands is expected to improve the cost efficiency of designing hybrid constructed wetlands with high removal efficiency.

CuO 나노입자는 전기화학적 전지, 가스 센서 및 태양전지와 같은 나노 전자소자에 응용할 수 있는 대단히 유용한 물질이다. CuO 나노구조를 형성하기 위한 방법은 솔-겔법, 전기 화학적 방법 및 전구체의 열적 탈착방법 등으로 연구되어 왔으나 CuO 나노입자의 열처리 효과는 상대적으로 연구가 미흡하다. 본 연구에서는 $Al_2O_3$ 기판 위에 스핀 코팅법과 열처리를 사용하여 형성한 CuO 나노입자의 물리적 성질을 살펴보았다. CuO 나노 입자를 형성하기 위해 methanol에 Cu(I) acetate (5 wt%) 을 적절히 분산한 용액을 $Al_2O_3$ 기판 위에 7000 rpm으로 스핀 코팅을 한 후 $300^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$ 및 $700^{\circ}C$로 각각 1 시간 동안 산소 분위기에서 열처리를 하였다. X-선 회절법 결과는 CuO의 (200)$K_{\alpha}$와 (400) $K_{\alpha}$ 회절에 해당하는 피크가 나타났고 주사 전자현미경 상의 결과는 CuO 나노입자가 형성되었음을 확인하였다. 나노입자의 크기는 고배율 투과 전자현미경상에 의하여 3-5 nm 인 것으로 확인하였고 300 K에서 측정한 광루미네선스 스펙트럼은 CuO의 주된 스펙트럼 피크가 푸른색 영역에서 나타남을 알 수 있었다. X-선 광전자 분광법 스펙트럼은 Cu $2p_{3/2}$와 O 1s의 전자상태를 보여주었으며 복잡한 산화상태를 갖는 CuO는 Cu-O 결합과 산소의 화학적 흡착상태를 가지는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 $Al_2O_3$ 기판 위에 최적화된 CuO 나노 입자의 형성 방법과 구조적, 광학적 및 전자적 특성을 이해하는데 도움을 제공해 줄 것이다.

In this study, we measured particulate matter(PM) which emerged as the hot issue from the International Maritime Organization(IMO) and the exhaust emission using HANBADA, the training ship of Korea Maritime University. In particular, the PM was obtained with TEM grid. PM structure was observed by electron microscopy. And exhaust gases such as NOx, $CO_2$, and CO were measured using the combustion gas analyzer(PG-250A, HORIBA). The results of this study are as follows. 1) When the ship departed from the port, the maximum difference in PM emissions were up to 30 % due to the Bunker Change. 2) Under the steady navigation, emission of PM was $1.34mg/m^3$ when Bunker-A is changing L.R.F.O(3 %). And, at the fixed L.R.F.O (3 %), emission of PM was $1.19mg/m^3$. When the main engine RPM increased up to 20 % with fixed L.R.F.O(3 %), emission of PM was $1.40mg/m^3$. When we changed to low quality oil(L.R.F.O(3 %)), CO concentration from main engine increased about 16 %. On the other hand, when the main engine RPM is rising up to 20 %, CO concentration is increased more than 152 percent. These results imply that the changes of RPM is a dominant factor in exhaust emission although fuel oil type is an important factor. 3) The diameter of PM obtained with TEM grid is about $4{\sim}10{\mu}m$ and its structure shows porous aggregate.

The impervious surface rate increased by urbanization causes various problems on the environment such as water cycle distortion, heat island effect, and non-point pollutant discharges. The Low Impact Development (LID) techniques are significantly considered as an important tool for stormwater management in urban areas and development projects. The main mechanisms of LID technologies are hydrological and environmental pollution reduction among soils, media, microorganisms, and plants. Especially, the media provides important functions on permeability and retention rate of stormwater runoff in LID facilities. Therefore, this research was performed to assess the pollutant removal efficiency for different types of media such as zeolite, wood chip, bottom ash, and bio-ceramic. All media show high pollutant removal efficiency of more than 60% for particulate materials and heavy metals. Double layered media is more effective in reducing heavy metals by providing diverse sizes of micro-pores and macro-pores compared to the single layered media. The results recommend the use of different sizes of media application is more cost-effective in LID than a single size of media. Furthermore, soluble proportion of total heavy metal in the stormwater is an important component in proper media selection and arrangement.

Emulsion is a dispersion system among liquids which are not miscible together. There are numerous cosmetic raw materials which have different physicochemical properties. Therefore, emulsion technology is very useful in cosmetics. With the development of emulsifier, several emulsification technologies have been developed. Since HLB method by Griffin in 1950's, PIT method, gel method, and D-phase methods, etc, have been developed. Recently, the application of natural emulsifier and polymeric emulsifier increases in cosmetics in order to achieve enhanced safety and biocompatibility. Besides nano-emulsion, multiple-emulsion, liquid crystal emulsion, and Pickering emulsion have been developed and applied as means of differentiating appearance and texture of products and achieving enhanced delivery of active ingredients. Meanwhile, the application studies of nano-dispersed structural system such as liposome or cubosome are on progress. Liposome is a bi- or multi-lamella layer dispersion system composed of amhiphilic molecules - phospholipids which are main components of plasma membrane. Cubosome also is a nano-sized dispersion system composed of a specific molecule like glyceryl monoloeate derived from natural products. And it has a cubic bicontinuous structure in water due to its unique molecular structure. Incorporating compounds (active materials) into such nano-particles can increase biocompatibility and delivery efficiency of target compounds. Manufacturing process and application of cosmetic emulsions and nano-particles are briefly introduced in this paper.

금속 다층박막과 미세입상 합금박막에서 발견된 Giant Magnetoresistance(GMR)현상에 고무되어 최근에는 50년대에 밝혀졌던 산화물 자기저항 재료에 관하여 새롭게 연구하고 있다. Perovskite 구조를 가지는 $La_{1-x}Ca_{x}MnO_{3}$ 박막에서 큰 자기저항을 얻었으며 이를 Colossal Magentoresistance (CMR)이라 한다. 본 연구에서는 $La_{1-x}Ca_{x}MnO_{3}$ 분말을 고상반응법과 자발착화연소 합성법(Glycine-Nitrate Process)으로 각각 제조하였으며 비교 분석하였다. TGA을 이용하여 불순물과 미반응 물질을 확인하여 적당한 하소온도를 결정하였고 XRD를 이용하여 결정상을 분석하였다. Dilatometer를 이용해 $1400^{\circ}C$까지의 열팽창율을 측정하였다. BET로 비 표면적을 비교하였으며, 주사전자현미경(SEM)으로 각각 제조된 분말의 입자상태와 입자성장을 확인하였다. GNP법으로 합성한 경우가 고상반응법을 이용한 경우보다 입자의 크기가 submicron 단위로 미세하고 비표면적도 수배 컸으며, 고순도의 perovskite 구조를 갖는 $La_{1-x}Ca_{x}MnO_{3}$ 분말을 얻을 수 있었다.

In this study, new manganese oxide (i.e., black-birnessite) particles with nanostructures were prepared and its physico-chemical properties and oxidative-transformation efficiency on 1,4-naphthoquinine(1,4-NPQ) in the presence of reactive mediator was investigated. The results were also compared with that of the manganese oxide (i.e., brown-birnessite) particles synthesized by classical McKenzie method. Analysis of XRD and SEM data show that the particles are a single phase corresponding to a birnessite-based manganese oxide with cotton ball-like shapes containing nanofibers. In batch experiments, removals of 1,4-NPQ by the black-birnessite follows pseudo-first-order kinetics and the rate constant values obtained are greater about 2.3 times than that of the brown-birnessite in spite of its lower surface area (41.0 vs 19.80 $m^2/g$). The results can be explained by the higher crystallinity and nano structured features of the back-birnessite particles, which give higher reactivity for the removals of the quinone compound. HPLC analysis of the reaction products confirmed that the balck-birnessites removed 1,4-NPQ through cross-coupling reaction in the presence of catechol as a reactive mediator.
