Electroosmotic tests were performed on saturated marine clay specimens contaminated with lead to investigate the efficiency of the electrokinetic technique for removal of heavy metals from the cohesive soils. For this purpose, testing program included variable conditions such as the concentration of lead (500, 5, 000, 50, 000mg/kg), the level of electrical current (10, 50, 100 mA), operating duration (5, 15, 30days), and the application of three dirtferent chemicals for enhancement in efficiency. The pH of inflow and outflow, electroosmotic flow and electrical conductivity during the test, and the pH and the concentration of lead across the specimen after the test are presented. Test results came to the conclusion that the electrokinetic technique was very effective to remove heavy metals such as lead from the contaminated cohesive soil. Adding ecetic acid at the cathod to dissolve the procipitates of lead hydroxide as found to be effective for the enhancement of the efficiency in remediation.

Many important properties in colloidal systems are usually determined by surface charge ($\zeta$-potential) of the contacted solid surface. In this study, $\zeta$-potential of glass $\mu$-channel was evaluated from the electro-osmotic velocity distribution. The electro-osmotic velocity inside a glass $\mu$-channel was measured using a micro-PIV velocity field measurement technique. This evaluation method is more simple and easy to approach, compared with the traditional streaming potential technique. The $\zeta$-potential in the glass $\mu$-channel was measured for two different mole NaCl solutions. The effect of an anion surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), on the electro-osmotic velocity and $\zeta$-potential in the glass surface was also studied. In the range of $0\∼6$mM, the surfactant SDS was added to NaCl solution in four different mole concentrations. As a result, the addition of SDS increases $\zeta$-potential in the surface of the glass $\mu$-channel. The measured $\zeta$-potential was found to vary from-260 to-70mV. When negatively charged particles were used, the flow direction was opposite compared with that of neutral particles. The $\zeta$-potential has a positive sign for the negative particles.

Many important properties in colloidal systems are usually determined by surface charge $({\zeta}-potential)$ of the contacted solid surface. In this study, ${\zeta}-potential$ of glass ${\mu}-channel$ was evaluated from the electro-osmotic velocity distribution. The electro-osmotic velocity inside a glass f-channel was measured using a micro-PIV velocity field measurement technique. This evaluation method is more simple and easy to approach, compared with the traditional streaming potential technique. The ${\zeta}-potential$ in the glass ${\mu}-channel$ was measured fur two different mole NaCl solutions. The effect of an anion surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), on the electro-osmotic velocity and f-potential in the glass surface was also studied. In the range of $0{\sim}6mM$, the surfactant SDS was added to NaCl solution in few different mole concentrations. As a result, the addition of SDS increases ${\zeta}-potential$ in the surface of the glass ${\mu}-channel$. The measured $\zeta-potential$ was found to vary from -260 to -70mV. When negatively charged particles were used, the flow direction was opposite compared with that of neutral particles. The ${\zeta}-potential$ has a positive sign for the negative particles.

Heavy water (D₂O) can induce various biochemical changes in comparison with light water (H₂O). In order to reduce excessive energy consumption, which is a disadvantage of the existing separation process, we conduct the forward osmosis with electrospun polyamide membranes. NaCl and phosphoric acid were used as draw solutions. FT-IR spectroscopy was used to quantify the concentration of heavy water. It was observed that phosphoric acid could concentrate heavy water through a forward osmosis process and its special interaction with hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) was spectrophotometrically confirmed.

Soft ground stabilization is needed to construct large civil facilities on the soft clay ground. Pre-loading method, which is accelerating consolidation method, is generally used to stabilize the soft ground. However, pre-loading method is required long construction period and quantities of fill material. Therefore, electro-osmosis method is used to replace pre-loading method for stabilizing the soft ground. Electro-osmosis method is disadvantageous in constructive and economic aspects because it is needed a metallic electrode. So, in order to solve the those disadvantages, plastic electrode was developed to replace metallic electrode. Plastic electrode, which is made by using nano-technology on existing Plastic Drain Board (PDB), was used to supply the electric power. In this study, therefore, the model test was conducted to confirm the effect of improvement and electrical characteristics of soft ground by spacing of plastic electrode. The result shows that the effect of improvement of soft ground was decreased up to 45% by increasing electrode spacing and electrical characteristics on the soft ground were influenced by consolidation settlement with electrode spacing.

Several Physico-chemical properties of the retentate obtained from reverse osmosis of soybean curd whey were studied. The contents of sucrose, raffinose and stachyose in the retentate were 32.59%d.b., 4.76%d.b. and 9.99%d.b., respectively. Potassium (5.23%d.b.), in the retentate was a dominant element in ash. Protein content (18.69%d.b.), amino acid composition and subunit pattern of protein in PAG-electrophoresis were somewhat different from those of the soybean protein. Emulsification activity, emulsification stability and viscosity of protein isolated from soybean curd whey (WPI) were slightly inferior compared to protein isolated from soybean (SPI), with the exception of solubility that depended on the pH of WPI.

합성고분자막을 이용하여 액체혼합물을 분리하는 공정은 오래전부터 알려져 왔다. 바다물로부터 역삼투법이나 전기투석법을 이용하여 탈염하는 공정이라든지 한외여과 또는 정밀여과법을 이용하여 초순수를 제조하는 공정등은 현재 대단한 기술적, 상업적 의미를 갖으며 산업적으로 발전하고 있다. 더욱 최근에는 합성고분자막이 여러 기체혼합물 분리에 응용되고 있다. 예를 들면 석유화학 폐가스나 암모니아 공장에서 수소의 회수나 공기중의 산소나 질소의 부화등은 막이 아주 유용한 도구로 사용되어 온 두가지 중요한 분야이다. 고분자막이 특정한 물질분리에 맞도록 고안될수 있게 된 이래로 재래식 방법으로는 곤란한 분리문제들이 막공정에 의해 다루어질수 있게 되었다. 이같은 문제중 하나가 폐수중 유기용제등 유기물의 제거이다. 특히 할로겐화 유기물, 살충제, 농약등 오래전부터 독극물로 알려져온 물질들을 폐수로 부터 제저하는데 많은 노력이 경주되어 왔다. 이러한 연구에도 한외여과법이나 역삼투법등의 막분리공정이 응용되어 보고된 바 있다.

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells(PEMFC) are very interesting power source due to high power density, simple construction and operation at low temperature. But they have problems such as high cost, improvement of performance and effect of temperature. This problems can be approached using mathematical models which are useful tools for analysis and optimization of fuel cell performance and for heat and water management, in this paper, transient model consists of various energy terms associated with fuel cell operation using the mass and energy balance equation. And water transfer in the membrane is composed of back diffusion and electro-osmotic drag. The temperature calculated by transient model approximately agreed with the temperature measured by experiment in constant current condition.

This paper presents an experimental study on the performance of a micro-mixer using AC electro-osmotic flow. The microchannel is made of PDMS for the side and top walls and glass patterned with ITO for the bottom wall. We first investigated the effect of the applied potential as well as the frequency on the slip velocity. We have found that the slip velocity is roughly proportional to the applied voltage in line with the Helmholtz-Smoluchowski equation and there is an optimum frequency at which the slip velocity becomes maximized. To find the optimum parameters for mixing device we tested our device for various design parameters. It turned out that the best mixing effect is obtained approximately when the electrode angle is $30^{\circ}$, electrode width $200\;{\mu}m$, and the frequency of power supply 700 Hz.

변압기의 이상 징후를 조기에 검출하여 사고를 미연에 방지하기 위해 설치된 예방진단시스템은 현재 국내 9개 변전소에서 운영되고 있다. 이러한 예방진단시스템의 적극적인 활용을 위해서는 시스템을 구성하는 각 요소에 대한 신뢰성 검증과 주기적인 점검, 축적된 데이터의 분석을 통한 사고예방 검출 사례의 축적이 요구되고 있다. 변압기 예방진단시스템의 가장 중요한 항목인 유중가스 측정기는 변압기 드레인 밸브에 설치됨에 따라, 변압기 내부 절연유가 유중가스 측정기로 유동되는지에 대한 의문이 존재하여 왔다. 본 논문에서는 유동해석 프로그램인 Fluent 5.3과 Gambit 프로그램을 이용하여, 변압기 내부의 열에 의한 대류현상에 의해 순환하는 절연유가 좁은 파이프를 통하여 유중가스 측정기의 삼투막까지 도달하는 유동현상을 해석하였다. 유동해석 결과 절연유가 삼투막과 만나는 지점에서도 절연유의 유동에 의한 순환이 발생하여, 용존가스의 검출이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.
