작물의 최대 수확을 위한 관개계획은 작물의 수분장력 스트래스와 삼투스트래스를 최소화 시킬 수 있도록 언제 얼마의 물을 어떤 속도로 공급해 줄 것인가를 결정하는 것이다. 이는 토양, 작물 및 대기의 여러 가지 요소를 측정하여 결정할 수 있다. 관개속도는 주로 토양의 투수계수에 의하여 결정되지만 관개시간과 양은 토양함수량과 경우에 따라서는 토양염도에 의하여 결정된다. Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR)는 한 개의 탐침으로 토양 함수량과 토양염도를 동시에 측정하는 새로운 기법이다. TDR의 측정원리와 상업용 TDR장비에 대하여 자세히 설명하였다. TDR 탐침의 간격, 직경 및 길이의 제한요소를 토양함수량과 전기전도도의 함수로 나타내었다. 토양 columm 및 현장에서의 TDR 전극 삽입과 케이블테스터의 신속한 분리기법과 토양층에 TDR 탐침을 영구히 설치하는 기법에 대하여 자세히 설명하였다.

This paper presents the transport and removal of organic substances from the contaminated soft soils and sludges such as marine dredging waste, marine sediments, mine tailing waste, and sewage sludge by electroosmosis. A series of laboratory experiments including variable conditions such as contamination levels, solid contents, and applied voltage rates were peformed with the contaminated soft clay specimen mixed with organic substance. Investigated are specimen density, dewatering rate, outflow rate, and outflow concentration. The test results showed that organic substances in the soils were removed by applied voltages. The results indicated that this process can be used efficiently to clean up the contaminated soil.

More time is required for consolidating soft clay when its hydraulic conductivity around the vertical drains is reduced by soil disturbance. One of the methods to be proposed to solve such problem is the electro-osmotic flow application. This study presents the experimental results of model tests using a modified oedometer and a large-scale cylinder with a sand drain. Results show that the development of negative excessive pore water pressure due to the DC electrical field in saturated clay can be transformed to additional loads causing more consolidation settlement.

This paper presents numerical results of fluid flows and mixing in a microfluidic device for AC electroosmotic flow (AC-EOF) with coplanar electrodes on top and bottom walls. Differently from previous EOF a channel which attached a couple of coplanar electrodes can be utilized to mix a target liquid with a reagent. In this study we propose a method of controlling fluid flows and mixing enhancement. To obtain the flow and mixing characteristics, numerical computations are performed by using a commercial code, CFX10. It was found that the flow near the coplanar electrodes is of 3-D complex flows and vortices between the other electrodes, and as a consequence the AC-electroosmotic flow on the electrodes plays an important role in mixing the liquid.

This paper presents numerical and experimental works for simultaneous pumping and mixing small liquid using asymmetric microelectrode arrays, based on AC electroosmotic flows. To this end, four arrangements of electrode pairs were considered with diagonal/herringbone shapes. Numerical simulations were made of three-dimensional geometries by using the linear theory. The results indicated that the helical flow motions induced by the electrode arrays play a significant role in the mixing enhancement. The pumping performance was influenced by the slip velocity at the center region of the channel compared to that near the side walls. To validate the numerical predictions, the microfluidic devices were made through MEMS. The flow rate was obtained by using micro PIV, increasing the applied frequency. The electrolyte was potassium chloride solution. The flow patterns above electrodes were visualized to see lateral flow for mixing. The experimental results showed good agreements with the numerical predictions.

Removal of phenanthrene by electrokinetic method combined with Fenton-like process was studied in a model system. The scale of reactor was 100cm in length, 100cm in width, and 70cm in height. The distance between electrodes was 70cm. Indonesia kaoline was selected as a model soil. When constant voltage of 100 V was applied to this system, current decreased from 200 mA to 100 mA for 14 days. Total accumulated EOF was about 55,000 mL. The concentration of phenanthrene near anode was very low because direction of electroosmosis was from anode to cathode and hydrogen peroxide was supplied to anode reservoir. Phenanthrene concentration was increased as the location was far from anode because hydrogen peroxide was gradually decomposed and then the rate of hydroxyl radical production was decreased.

Nowadays, the development of microfluidic chip [i.e. biochip, micro-total analysis system ($\mu$-TAS) and LOC (lab-on-a-chip)] becomes more active, and the microchannels to deliver fluid by pressure or electroosmotic forces tend to be more complex like electronic circuits or networks. For a simple network of channels, we may calculate the pressure and the flow rate easily by using suitable formula. However, for complex network it is not handy to obtain such information with that simple way. For this reason, Graphic User Interface (GUI) program which can rapidly give required information should be necessary for microchip designers. In this paper, we present a GUI program developed in our laboratory and the simple theoretical formula used in the program. We applied our program to simple case and could get results compared well with other numerical results. Further, we applied our program to several complex cases and obtained reasonable results.

막분리기술은 분릿대상 성분과 분리매체와의 분자 사이의 힘의 차를 이용하여 분리하는 기술이기 때문에 분리특성을 고도로 기능화시키는 것이 가능하다. 또한 막분리 기술 자체가 에너지 절약기술이기 때문에 차세대 분리기수로서 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다. 이와 같은 분리기술은 역삼투법 등의 수용액계와 상온 부근의 기체분리막은 실용화되어 있다. 그러나 비수용액계 또는 고온 공정에서 특수한 조건하에서 고기능성 분리성능을 가지는 막의 개발에 대한 요구가 증대되고 있다. 이에 대응하여 내열성, 내용제성이 우수한 고분자에 의한 분리성능을 요구한다. 특히 근년에는 방향족 polyimide 수지가 주목을 받고 있으며, 내열성, 내구성 및 기계-전기적 특성이 우수한 재질로 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 이것은 분자 구성기가 가지는 결합에너지가 크고, 분자의 규칙성에 의한 유리전이온도가 높아서 250-300$\circ$C의 고온에서도 사용이 가능한 재료로서 한외여과막과 기체분리막으로 시판되고 있다.

This paper presents the numerical results of fluid flow and mixing in a microfluidic device for electro-osmotic flow (EOF) with an trapezoidal electrode array on the bottom wall (ETZEA). Differently from previous EOF in a channel which only transports fluid in colloidal system. ETZEA can also be utilized to mix a target liquid with a reagent. In this study we propose a method of controlling fluid flow and mixing enhancement. To obtain the flow and mixing characteristics, numerical computations are performed by using a commercial code, CFX-10, and a self-made code LBM-D. It was found that the flow near the trapezoidal electrode in the ETZEA is of 3-D complex flows due to the zeta potential difference between the trapezoidal electrode and channel walls, and as a consequence the hetrogeneous zeta potential on the electrodes plays an important role in mixing the liquid.

The water absorption in protective coatings, which may greatly influence the durability of these coatings, was studied using quartz crystal microbalance and electrochemical impedance technique. The water absorption in protective coatings and the change of coating capacitance with concentration of electrolyte were measured. The water absorption in coatings seems to be driven by osmotic pressure, and larger amount of water was absorbed in thinner coatings at initial stage of absorption. The amount of water absorbed in coatings changed with the type and crosslinking density of resin used in coating formulation. When water absorption and desorption of coating occured by exposing the coatings to electrolyte solutions of different concentration, increase in impedance caused by desorption of water was found to be higher in the case of thinner film.
