In recent years, excessive emissions of carbon dioxide(CO₂) have become the cause of global climate change. Consequently, there has been significant research activity aimed at both removing and utilizing CO₂. This study assesses the potential utilization of railway tie concrete waste, generated from railway infrastructure, as a CO₂ absorption material and investigates the physicochemical properties before and after CO₂ absorption to understand the CO₂ removal mechanisms. Railway tie concrete waste primarily consists of Si(26.60 %) and contains 9.82 % of Ca. Compared to samples of Cement and Normal concrete waste, it demonstrated superior potential for use as a CO₂ absorption material, with approximately 98 % of the Ca content participating in CO₂ absorption reactions. Through Thermogravimetric Analysis(TGA) and X-ray Diffraction(XRD) analysis, it was confirmed that the carbonate reaction, where the Ca in railway tie concrete waste converts into CaCO₃ through reaction with CO₂ gas, is the primary mechanism for CO₂ removal. Furthermore, Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM) analysis revealed the formation of numerous CaCO₃ particles with sizes less than 0.1 ㎛ after the CO₂ absorption reaction. This transformation of large internal voids in the CO₂ absorption material into mesopores resulted in an increase in the specific surface area of the material.

Contamination particles in a hard disk drive can cause serious problems including slider crash and thermal asperities. A recirculation filter is typically installed in the hard disk drive to remove the particles. Measurements and theoretical predictions of particle concentration decay with the filter are carried out for a commercially available HDD. Especially, the effect of disk rotational speed on the particle capture efficiency is investigated. Results show that filter efficiency is higher for higher disk rotational speed.

Silicon nanoparticles are widely studied as a material with great potential for wide applications. For application to present industry, it should be easy to control the characteristics of nanoparticle including the size and structure. In this paper, we investigated the formation of Si nanoparticle using pulse plasma technology. Plasma technology is already quite common in device industry and the size of nanoparticle can be easily controlled according to plasma pulse duration. An inductively-coupled plasma chamber with RF power (13.56 MHz) was used with DC-biased grid $(-200\sim+200\;V)$ installed above the substrate. In order to measure the shape and size of nanoparticle, TEM was used. It was found that the size of nanoparticles can be controlled well with the plasma pulse duration and the collection efficiency is increased with the use of either negative or positive DC-bias.

DOS and NaCl aerosol particles with geometric mean diameter of $0.1{\sim}3.0{\mu}m$ geometric standard deviation of $1.1{\sim}1.8$ and total number concentration of $450{\sim}400$ $particles/cm^3$ were used to determine collection efficiencies of a duct-type wet scrubber with respect to particle size. The tested operating variables included air velocity and water injection rate. It was shown from the experimental results that the collection efficiencies increased with increasing water injection rate and decreasing air velocity. It was also seen that the collection efficiency of the Duct-type wet scrubber is mainly governed by the mechanism of inertial impaction.

In order to understand the flow and filtration characteristics in a wall-flow type DPF(Diesel Particulate Filter), 0-D, 1-D, and 3-D simulations are preformed. In this paper, three model are explained and validated with each other. Based on the comparisons with 1-D and 3-D results for the steady state solution, 3-D CFD analysis is preferable to 1-D for the prediction of wall velocity at the inlet and exit plane. Because PM loading process is transient state phenomena, the combination of full 3-D and time dependent simulation is crucial for the configuration of wall channels. New coupling technique, which is the connection between calculated permeability from 0-D lumped parameter model and UDF(User Defined Functions) of main solver, is proposed for the realisti

우리나라에서 홍수기에는 하천에 부유사를 포함한 수체가 침강되어 하층 밀도류 형태로 전파된다. 온도로 성층화가 심하게 되지 않은 댐의 경우 하층 밀도류로 댐체까지 전파되고, 유출되어 하류로 흘러가거나 차단되어 담수된다. 침사용 저수지는 하류에 있는 저수지에 유사 전파를 막기 위해 건설된 댐으로, 이를 잘 관리하기 위해서는 밀도류의 차단에 대한 연구가 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 층적분 모형을 사용하여 밀도류의 전파와 이에 따른 저수지의 유사 차단 현상을 모의하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 1차원 수치모형을 제시하였으며 실내실험 자료에 적용하여 밀도류의 전파 및 차단 양상을 분석하였다. 모의 결과 소류사는 대부분 상류단에서 퇴적되고, 부유사가 밀도류에 포함되어 하류단까지 전파되고, 차단되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 질량보존과 운동량 보존에 의해 저수지 전체에서 밀도류 두께가 증가되며 담수되는 현상을 확인하였다. 담수된 밀도류의 포집효율에 영향을 미치는 인자를 분석하고, 포집효율에 대한 각 입자의 민감도 분석을 수행하였다.

'96년 중반 포괄적 핵실험 금지조약(Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty:CTBT)의 체결이후 전세계적으로 핵실험 감시장치망을 구축하고 있는데, 이에 대응하여 한국원자력연구소에서는 국제기술사양에 만족하는 원거리 대기핵종 감시 시스템을 개발하였다. 본 시스템은 원거리에서 날라온 공기중 부유입자를 포집하여 핵실험시 누출될 수 있는 방사성 핵종의 농도를 측정하는 장치이다. 그 운용을 위해서는 포집 및 분석능력의 척도라고 할 수 있는 시스템의 최소검출 방사능농도 (minimum detectable concentration:MDC)의 결정이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 최적화된 시료붕괴시간(decay time)에서의 MDC값을 결정하기 위하여 sampling time을 48시간, counting time을 6시간으로 하고, 6시간의 다른 decay time에 따라 실험을 수행하였다. 국제기술사양에서 요구하는 13개 핵종에 대해 decay time에 따른 각각의 MDC값을 구하였으며, 국제기술사양 권고치와 비교하였다. 비교결과 decay time이 12시간일 때 가장 국제기술사양 권고치를 만족한다는 것을 확인하였다.

In our previous studies, the antioxidant, anti-aging, and antibacterial activities of Artemisia princeps Pampnini (A. princeps Pamp.) extract were reported. In this study, ethosome formulations for the enhanced transdermal delivery of A. princeps Pamp. extract were prepared. The particle size, loading efficiency and skin permeation of them were evaluated. The ethosome loaded with 0.06% ethyl acetate fraction of A. princeps Pamp. extract was more stable and maintained the constant particle size for 3 weeks after being prepared. The particle size of ethosome containing 0.06% ethyl acetate fraction was $287.05{\pm}0.25nm$ and the loading efficiency was $51.96{\pm}0.01%$. The ethosome formulation exhibited the greater enhancement of skin permeation than of general liposome and 20% ethanol solution in skin permeability experiments.

Nano flexible vesicles encapsulating an adenosine, an active ingredient for anti-wrinkle, were prepared for the transdermal delivery. The nano flexible vesicle is usually composed of phospholipid, ethanol, and lysolecithin, which is a type of liquid crystalline one made by dispersing the liquid crystalline phase formed through a hydration process into a water phase. In this study, the Taguchi method, one of the experimental design methods, was applied to investigate the factors affecting the vesicle droplet size. Signal to noise (S/N) ratios for the smaller the better characteristics of vesicle droplet size were calculated using the Taguchi orthogonal array. The composition of ethanol and lysolecithin in the vesicle constituents and the amount of aqueous solution added in the hydration process were main factors that had a great effect on the vesicle droplet size and ANOVA test showed that these factors were significant at 95% confidence level.

Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) used currently in industries for removing fine particles from semiconductors have to be made of expensive anticorrosive metallic materials in order to maintain their particle-removal performance. To satisfy the economical demands of industries, a novel ESP was developed; in this ESP, the charger is made of carbon fibers and collection plates consist of PET films among which an aluminum sheet is inserted. The ESP was evaluated by changing the voltages applied to the chargers and collection plates, flow rates, and number of charging channels. KCl particles with mean diameters of 100 nm were used, and a scanning mobility particle sizer was used to measure the changes in particle number concentrations upstream and downstream of the ESP. The experimental results showed that more than 90% of the particles were removed by using the ESP containing ionizers with nine channels and 65-mm collection plates at $500\;m^3/hr$ when voltages of 7 kV and 10 kV were applied to the ionizers and collection plates, respectively.
