In this paper, the relationship between the material removal rate and the interfacial mechanical properties at particle-surface contact situation, which can be seen in an abrasive machining process using micro/nano-sized particles, was discussed. Friction and stiffnesses were measured experimentally on an atomic force microscope (AFM) by using colloidal probes which have a silica colloid particle in place of tip to simulate a particle-flat surface contact in an abrasive machining process. From the experimental investigation and theoretical contact analysis, the interfacial contact properties such as lateral stiffness of contact, friction, the material removal rate were presented with respect to some of material surfaces and the relationship between the properties as well.

흡착에 필요한 최적의 세라믹 볼의 소성온도는 93$0^{\circ}C$가 가장 적당하다. 공업용수 중에 용존되어 있는 유기물 및 유해성분이 제거(COD나 $BOD_{5}$)가 가능하다. Fe와 Pb의 중 금속 제거의 경우 Pb의 경우가 제거 효율이 더 크며, 이에 따른 mechanism으로 이온교환이온이 Pb의 경우 2가 양이온이기에 더욱 효율이 크고 Fe의 경우는 수화하여 구조적인 붕괴를 일으키며, 2가와 3가의 공존하므로 Pb보다 제거율이 낮다. Fe와 Pb 중금속수를 1시간 동안 제거하여 Freundlich형 등온식에 따른 계산 결과 5,10ppm에서 1/n의 수치가 2 이상을 넘지 않고 있고, 500, 1000ppm의 경우는 등온이온교환으로 할 때 1/n의 수치가 2에 근접하므로 분말의 경우에 비해 제거율이 낮지는 않다. 그러므로 경제적 이점과 재활용면에서 볼의 사용이 우수하다는 것을 알 수 있다. 장치의 용기에 비례하여 볼 때 볼의 양은 600g이 가장 적당한 양이다. 등온교환의 경우 Apatite(HAp)를 이용한 분말의 제거율 보다 약간 낮으나 분말의 경우 사용 후 취급이 용이하지 않고 2차적 오염이 예상되므로 세라믹 볼의 경우 환경친화성재료로 여러 가지의 수처라 공정에 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The use of TiO₂ photocatalyst in the production of concrete blocks for the purpose of nitrogen oxide reduction is an issue of controversy due to the conflicting evidence on its effectiveness. Efforts have been made to reduce the level of nitrogen oxides in the environment by using of titanium dioxide (TiO₂). This study examined the effect of incorporating activated carbon into concrete blocks on the reduction of nitrogen oxides released into the atmosphere and the durability of the blocks. The efficiency of photocatalyst was enhanced through the addition of a surrounding conductive substance. The addition of activated carbon resulted in a significant increase in the electrical conductivity of photocatalytic blocks and improved durability. The cement mixture using 5 % TiO₂ and 15 % activated carbon exhibited the optimal mixing ratio for the purpose of nitrogen oxide removal. The effect of the addition of conductive carbon to the photocatalytic blocks was discussed with the results of conductivity, flexural and comprssive strength and nitrogen oxide removal test. The relationship between the addition of conductive carbon to the photocatalytic blocks and its resulting effects have been studied by several tests, including conductivity, flexural and compressive strength, and nitrogen oxide removal.

This study aims to present the practical Nitrogen monoxide (NO) removal capacity of cement mortar with Titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) which is one of the paving materials by considering the environment of pavement in urban areas. NO removal capacity test under designated conditions of humidity of inflow gas and the test with variation of the degree of saturation of specimen were conducted. In the test for humidity, dry specimen is subject to the test and NO removal ratio was observed. Humidity-NO removal ratio curve is a log normal distribution in shape, and the maximum NO removal ratio appears at specific humidity. NO removal capacity test relying on the degree of saturation was carried out with wet specimen to reflect the unsaturated pavement by rainfall and domestic sewage. Wet specimen presents less NO removal capacity than dry specimen and the recovering evolution of NO removal capacity follows evaporation. Moreover, $TiO_2$ under the specific depth of specimen hardly contributes to NO removal capacity.

As our interests in eco-friendly materials have been significantly increased, the utilization of porous zeolite concrete that has structural functionality and permeability has been increased. In this paper, the mixture of porous concrete and zeolite, which can be used as multirole boulders, was investigated for the suitability of an environment-friendly product by evaluating of the water purification ability. The contamination removal rates of BOD, TOC, T-N, and T-P in stagnant water tank were 70.6, 67.0, 57.7, and 50.6%, respectively. Also for the non-point source pollution with the inflow and the outflow, the removal rates of Zn, Pb, BOD, and COD were 99.9, 90.0, 69.2, and 33.5%, respectively. The performance of the heavy metal contamination removal for the porous zeolite showed better than that of stagnant system. Therefore, it is expected that the installation of the porous zeolite concrete can play a role as an eco-friendly products by its high contamination removal.

We analyzed the basic characteristics and adsorption property of carbonized materials from thinning byproducts of major Korean wood species for evaluating as charcoal making raw material. Yield of charcoal was decreased with increasing the carbonization temperature for all wood species. Refining degrees was 9.0 at $400^{\circ}C$, 3.3~5.0 at $600^{\circ}C$ and 0 at $800^{\circ}C$, and was no difference among wood species. With increasing the carbonization temperature, the fixed carbon content was also increased, and charcoal from softwoods had more fixed carbon content than that from hardwoods. Specific surface area was increased with increasing the carbonization temperature, softwood charcoal had more specific surface area than that of hardwood. Pinus rigida showed the highest specific surface area. In formaldehyde removal by charcoal, some materials had highest at $600^{\circ}C$ and the others had highest at $800^{\circ}C$. Pinus koraiensis, Qurcus acutissima and MDF showed maximum formaldehyde removal ability at $600^{\circ}C$. Ethylene gas removal ability of charcoal was increased with increasing the carbonization temperature, and the charcoal from Pinus rigida and Robinia pseudoacacia had higher ethylene gas removal ability than the other species.

최근 각종 산업 기술의 발달과 함께 다량의 악취, 오염 물질이 심각한 사회문제로 대두되고 있다. 특히 산업 현장의 경우, 악취로 인해 작업 환경이 매우 열악하여 환경 설비의 개발이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 스크러버 집진 장치의 친수성 가스를 제거할 수 있는 장점을 유지하면서, 소수성 기체의 제거율이 낮은 단점을 보완할 수 있는 TiO$_2$나노 입자의 광분해 특성을 이용한 스크러버 집진 장치를 제작하였다. TiO$_2$ 광촉매 나노 입자는 실험실에서 합성한 QT를 비롯하여, 국내외에서 생산된 P-25, NT-20, ST-01로 특성 분석을 실시하였다. 광촉매 나노 입자의 특성 분석에는 X선 회절 분석법, 적외선 분광기, 제타 전위 분석기, 동적 광산란 분광기를 사용하였으며, 그 결과 ST-01이 본 실험에 가장 적합한 광촉매로 선정되었다. 악취 및 대기 오염 물질 선정은 염색 가공 공장에서 정련제, 산화 환원제등으로 많이 사용하고 있는 암모니아, 아세트산, 옥탄올, 휘발성 유기물질인 톨루엔, 벤젠으로 하여, 실험실 자체 제작한 batch type과 산업 현장에서 사용할 수 있는 continuous type의 스크러버 이용하여 실험하였다. 이들 물질의 제거율은 가스 크로마토그래피, 자외선/가시광선 분광기를 이용하여 조사하였으며, 친수성 기체인 암모니아와 아세트산의 경우는 기존의 스크러버 효율의 약 70%인 반면에, 광촉매를 이용한 스크러버의 경우 90%이상의 우수한 제거 효과를 보였다. 또한, 기존의 스크러버가 거의 분해를 할 수 없었던 소수성 기체 옥탄올, 톨루엔, 벤젠의 경우는 기존의 스크러버가 약 10%내외를 제거하는 것에 비해, 광촉매를 이용한 스크러버의 경우 약 80% 이상의 제거 효율을 나타내었다. 결과적으로 광촉매를 이용한 스크러버의 제거효율이 기존의 스크러버에 비해, 친수성 가스의 경우 20% 이상, 소수성 가스의 경우70% 이상 향상되었음을 알 수 있었으며, 본 연구를 통해 광분해를 이용한 스크러버가 기존설비의 장.단점을 충분히 보완 가능한 환경 설비임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Rubber deposited during aircraft landing is known as the main cause of reducing surface friction force on wet surfaces. Thus, rubber deposits are removed at regular intervals for sae airplane landing. The high-pressure waterblast method, widely used for the removal of rubber deposits, is regarded as the main cause for the loss of surface material because in this method, water hits the surface directly at a high pressure. In this study, a rubber removal primer is developed to reduce surface damage by lowering the pressure of waterblast relatively during the removal of rubber deposits such that the deposits are removed efficiently even with a lower water pressure. To achieve this, basic materials appropriate for the primer were selected and their performance, penetration rate, and site applicability were evaluated. Based on the evaluations, the proportion of additive required for improving the performance of the basic materials was first determined. Then, the optimum mix ratio was derived through the evaluation of the effect on pavements, and the development of the rubber removal primer was completed.

최근 국내에서는 건설재료의 부족으로 건설부산물인 폐콘크리트를 새로운 토목재료로써 재활용 또는 자원화에 노력하고 있다. 이러한 차원에서 폐콘크리트의 재활용 및 자원화는 사용용도에 적합한 공학적 특성뿐만 아니라 환경적 특성을 분석하여 대상재료의 환경 안정성을 파악해야 한다. 따라서, 본 논문은 폐콘크리트에 대하여 pH시험, 용출시험, 중금속 흡착특성 등 일련의 환경특성 실험을 실시하여 폐콘크리트 사용에 따른 주변 환경에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 실험결과, 폐콘크리트의 pH는 11~12정도이고, 폐기물공정시험법과 TCLP법에 의한 용출시험은 법적기준에 모두 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 중금속 흡착시험은 폐콘크리트나 구리, 납, 카드늄의 제거능이 큰 것으로 나타났으나 반면, 크롬에 대해서는 제거율이 50%정도로 나타났다.
