고체 산화물 연료전지(SOFC)는 크게 음극(anode), 양극(cathode), 전해질(electrolyte)로 구성되 있으며 연결자를 통해 직렬 또는 병렬로 연결된 형태로 발전장치 등에 활용되고 있다. 이중 연료의 산화반응을 담당하고 있는 연료전지의 음극으로 지금까지 Cobalt, Platinum, Palladium 등의 전이금속 또는 귀금속들이 사용되었지만 현재는 Nickel 또는 Nickel을 함유한 물질들 특히, Ni-YSZ 복합체가 주로 사용되고 있다. Ni-YSZ 복합체는 가격과 성능 등 여러가지 면에서 SOFC의 음극으로 사용하기에 가장 적합한 물질인데 특히 전지의 지지체 역할과 동시에 전극으로서의 역할도 병행해야하는 음극 지지형 SOFC의 경우 Ni-YSZ 복합체의 효용성을 더욱 커지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 SOFC의 음극물질로 가장 널리 쓰이고 있는 Ni-YSZ 복합체를 core shell 형태로 만들어 전도 path를 효율적으로 하고 그 특성을 최적화하기 위한 미세구조 및 소결 거동, 전기적 특성을 평가하였다.

고체산화물 연료전지의 연결재의 필요한 물성으로는 공기극과 연료극을 차폐시켜줄 수 있는 고밀도와 구성 소재간의 전기적으로 연결될 수 있는 전기전도도 및 낮은 이온전도도. 산화극과 환원극에서 화학적 안정성과 타 구성 소재와의 열팽창 계수가 일치 등이 중요한 특성으로 필요하게 된다. 이를 위해 LaCrO3계 연결재가 주로 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 LCO계 연결제는 $1400^{\circ}C$ 이상의 높은 소결 온도와 이로 인한 Cr의 휘발로 인한 타 구성소재와의 반응 등으로 인해 저온소결의 필요성이 재기되고 있는 소재 이다. 본 연구에서는 LCO계 구성 소제에 소결 조제를 첨가하여 저온에서 결정성 및 소결거동, 전기적 특성을 평가하였다.

Ni/CGO cermets were fabricated as the anode for SOFC which uses CGO as the electrolyte. And their electrical conductivity, electrochemical reactivity, and thermal expansion coefficient were optimized through the variation of NiO/CGO particle size ration and their composition. The electrical conductivity of the cermet was increased abruptly at a certain Ni content and the percolation concentration was decreased with the decreasing particle size ratio. Anodic overpotential was also decreased with the decreasing particle size ratio. For a fixed ratio it showed a minimum value at 50 wt.%. Thermal expansion coefficient was increased monotonically with increasing Ni contents, however it did not depend on the size ratio. With three properties taken into account, the cermet of particle size ration of 0.03 and composition of 50 wt.% was judged to be optimal as the anode.

폴리우레탄, 폴리에스테르, 바이페놀, PVC 외 각종 농약 등을 생산하는 울산의 모 화학공장에서, 다양한 종류의 휘발성유기화합물질들(VOCs)이 배출되고 있다. 평균적인 휘발성유기화합물질의 배출 농도는 7283 ppm으로, 톨루엔, 페놀을 포함하여 Trimethyl-pentene, trimethyl-hexene, dimethyl-cyclohexane 등이 검출되었다. Trimethyl-pentene, trimethyl-hexene, dimethyl-cyclohexane등은 인화성이 강하며 화재를 일으킬 위험성이 매우 큰 것으로 알려져 있고, 특히 톨루엔과 페놀의 경우는 호흡이나 피부접촉 등을 통한 인체로의 유입이 있을 경우 유독성을 나타내게 된다. 이러한 VOCs제거를 위하여 겨울철 기간에 파이로트-규모의 바이오필터 적용 실험이 진행되어 졌다. 본 연구의 목적은 바이오필터 운영이 진행되는 가운데 온도, 함수비, 하중, 압력손실 등의 제한요소들이 미디어 내부에서 변화하는 상황에 대한 관찰 및 평가에 있다. 이러한 제한요소들은 바이오필터의 디자인과 오염물질 제거에 심대한 영향을 미치게 된다. 바이오필터는 옥외에 설치되어 총 44일간 운영되어 졌는데, 외부 영하온도의 영향을 최소화하기 위하여, 7cm두께의 파이버-글래스 소재 단열설비가 반응기 외부에 설치되었고 또한 $150^{\circ}C$의 스팀이 바이오필터 반응기와 단열설비 사이에 제공되어 졌다. 바이오필터 반응기 내부에는 23개의 온도 측정 센서와 함수비 센서, 공기샘플포트, 습도계 등이 각기 다른 장소에 설치되어 온도, 함수비 등의 제한요소 영향연구가 진행되었다. 미디어 내부 같은 높이의 서로 반대되는 위치에서 온도차가 13.7도에서 -8.3도까지 차이가 나는 것으로 관찰되었으며, 미디어 높이 위치의 변화에 따라서도 21도에서 2도가지 차이를 나타냈다. 바이오필터 함수비는 실험기간 동안 지속적으로 변화가 발생하였는데, 스팀이 제공되는 동안에는 미디어 함수비가 훨씬 빠른 속도로 증가됨이 관찰되어 졌다.

Hydrogen is sustainable energy without environment pollution. In this study, experiments and analysis of hydrogen generation from gases methanol and ethanol using cylindrical barrier discharge reactor was carried out. The discharge reactor to generate hydrogen molecules used in this work is one type of Non-thermal Plasma (NTP) reactors and neon-transformer as power source to make a plasma was used. Hydrogen concentrations were measured as parameters of applied voltage, concentrations of methanol and ethanol, and flow rates of carrier gases($N_2$). Hydrogen generation increased according to applied voltage and produced largely in case of methanol compared with ethanol. It is thought that the reason is deeply related with those different chemical structures. Energy yield of hydrogen generation in case of ethanol decreases according to increasing applied voltage, but that in case of methanol has a peak at applied voltage of 22[kV] and decreased. Specifically, hydrogen generation increased with increasing applied voltage, but low voltage was better, which is the best parameter in the aspects of energy efficiency.

For electrochemical treatment of industrial wastewater, the effects of voltage, distance between electrodes, initial pH and NaCl concentrations on removal of pollutants were investigated in a batch electrolysis system. Temperature and pH in electrochemical reactor increased with increase in supplied voltage, but no significant change in EC was found. Removal of COD, turbidity, T-N and T-P were also enhanced with increase in the voltage. On the conditions of short distances between electrodes and long electrochemical reaction times, it was found that COD and T-N were very effectively removed in the system. Regardless of the distances, more than 80% of turbidity and T-P were removed at the beginning of reaction. When initial pH of the wastewater was about 7, the highest efficiency of COD removal was found in the system. On the other hand, removal efficiency of turbidity was unlikely affected by initial pH of the wastewater. T-N removal was increased with increase in initial pH. T-P was successfully removed in the pH range of 5 to 9 with varying removal efficiency of 79 to 96% after 2 minutes of electrochemical reaction time. Addition of NaCl into the electrochemical reactor increased removal efficiency of electrochemical treatment. The highest removal efficiency of COD and T-P, turbidity and T-N was obtained at NaCl concentrations of 500mg/L, 1,000 mg/L and 500mg/L, respectively.

Background : The survival benefit of combination chemotherapy comparing supportive care to patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancel, especially stage IV non-small cell lung cancer patients with metastatic disease, is controversial. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the difference in survival between patients treated with chemotherapy and those who were not and to identify prognostic factors in the patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Methods : From January 1989 to December 1994, total 67 patients including 20 patients treated with combination chemotherapy and 47 patients treated with only supportive care in stage IV non-small cell lung cancer patients with metastatic disease were enrolled in this study. Combination chemotherapy consisted of etoposide $120mg/m^2$ iv for 3 days and cis-platin iv day 1 every 4 weeks. The treatment groups were retrospectively analyzed by age, sex, histologic cell type, weight loss, serum LDH level, ECOG performance status and major organ metastasis. Results : The significant prognostic factors influencing survival on this study were ECOG performance status and histologic subtype. Overall response rate by combination chemotherapy was 30%(complete response 0%, partial response 30%). Median survival of overall patients was 13.6 weeks and median survival of Chemotherapy group, 20 weeks, was significantly longer than that of supportive care group, 11.7 week(p<0.01). Median survival of responded in patients receiving chemotherapy, 45.5 weeks, was significantly longer than that of non-responder, 17.3 weeks(p<0.05). 1 year-survival rate of chemotherapy group and supportive care group was 15N and 8%, respectively. Nausea or vomiting, alopecia and anemia were seen in nearly most cases after this combination chemotherapy. Toxicities above grade 3 included neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, infection, fever, nausea, vomiting and alopecia. But this combination chemotherapy was relatively well tolerated except one treatment-related death from sepsis associated with severe granulocytopenia. Conclusion : These results suggest that systemic chemotherapy might be helpful to the stage IV non-small cell lung cancer patients with good performance status and large scale randomized prospective trials should be performed.
