The absorption characteristics of Korean yam powder according to different drying methods were investigated. The physical properties of yam powder by different drying methods were showed the biggest porosity in freeze drying sample, while the smallest in hot air drying sample. No difference was founded in proximate compositions of yam powder by various drying methods. The amount of total phenolic compound and Vit C were showed the bigger decrement in freeze dried sample than other drying methods. The time reaching to equilibrium moisture content were determined in 12 days. Monolayer moisture contents were predicted to 0.0508∼0.0588 by BET equation and 0.0705∼0.0811 g H2O/g solid by GAB equation. BET equation for isothermal absorption curve showed over 0.95 R-square for every drying methods. GAB equation showed over 0.99 in vacuum and freeze drying but a poor R-square in hot air drying.

Concrete behavior in early-age is changing due to hydration reaction with time, and a resistance to chloride attack and strength development are different characterized. In the present work, changing strength and resistance to chloride attack are evaluated with ages from 28 days to 6 months. For the purpose, strength, diffusion coefficient, and passed charge are evaluated for normal concrete with 3 different mix proportions considering 28-day and 6-month curing conditions. With increasing concrete age, the changing ratio of strength falls on the level of 135.3~138.3%, while diffusion coefficient and passed charge shows 41.8%~51.1% and 53.6%~70.0%, respectively. The results of chloride diffusion coefficient and passed charge show relatively similar changing ratios since they are much dependent on the chloride migration velocity in electrical field. The changing ratios in chloride behaviors are evaluated to be much larger than those in compressive strength since the ion transport mechanism is proportional to not porosity but square of porosity.

Nitrate adsorption from aqueous solutions onto zinc chloride ($ZnCl_2$) treated coconut Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) was studied in a batch mode at two different initial nitrate concentrations (25 and 50 mg/L). The rate of nitrate uptake on prepared media was fast in the beginning, and 50% of adsorption was occurred within 10 min. The adsorption equilibrium was achieved within one hour. The mechanism of adsorption of nitrate on $ZnCl_2$ treated coconut GAC was investigated using four simplified kinetic models : the rate parameters were calculated for each model. The kinetic analysis indicated that pseudo-second-order kinetic with pore-diffusion-controlled was the best correlation of the experimental kinetic data in the present adsorption study.

In general, repair mortar is used to rehabilitate underground communities, but difficulties are encountered in the execution of long-term construction due to spatial co-operatives. In this study, the engineering properties of repair mortar according to the curing condition and accelerator type were reviewed. The results showed that the aluminate, alkali-free and calcium-aluminate precipitates in the water curing conditions showed higher compressive strength at the beginning of age than mortar specimens under air curing conditions, and increased. Especially in CA and AF test specimen with cement mineral quick setting, a large amount of ettringite products were observed compared with AL, thus reducing the pore volume and increasing the strength of the compound by micro-filling effect were found.

The problem in the construction of seawall reinforcing the seawall where there is seawater flow is the outflow of materials. Gravity-type pouring of concrete is difficult to fill the voids smoothly, and the cement of concrete that has not hardened is likely to be dispersed in seawater. This phenomenon not only reduces the reliability of quality after concrete hardening, but can also adversely affect the surrounding environment. Therefore, there is a need for a gel-like injection material that can be injected, In this study, the initial strength and durability improvement effect of seawater immersion were evaluated by using electrofurnace reduction slag and blast furnace slag with acute properties. As a result of the experiment, it was possible to prepare a gel-like injection material having flowability through reaction with silica-based chemical liquid. The flowability of the gel is 105~143 mm depending on the formulation, and the on-site simulation test can fill the voids without external leakage, confirming its on-site applicability.

알루미늄은 경량 금속으로 부식 저항력이 높아 철을 부식으로부터 보호하기 위한 표면처리 소재로 사용되고 있다. 철의 부식을 방지하기 위해서 알루미늄을 코팅하는 경우, 코팅 방법은 용융도금법이 주로 사용되고 있으며, 알루미늄을 빛의 반사막으로 활용하는 경우 진공 중에서 물리기상증착(physical vapor deposition; PVD)법을 사용하기도 한다. 알루미늄 박막을 물리기상 증착으로 코팅하면 박막성장 초기에 핵(nucleus)을 형성하고, 형성된 핵을 중심으로 주상정(column)으로 박막이 성장하는 것이 일반적이다. 알루미늄 박막의 주상정과 주상정 사이에 공극(pore)이 존재하기 때문에 알루미늄 박막을 부식방지 막으로 이용하기 위해서는 두께를 증가시켜야 한다. 본 연구에서는 스퍼터링(unbalanced magnetron sputtering)을 이용하여 치밀한 조직을 갖는 알루미늄 박막을 코팅할 수 있는 공정변수를 도출하고, 치밀한 알루미늄 조직이 철의 부식에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 기판은 냉연강판(cold rolled steel sheet)이 사용되었으며, 알루미늄 타겟의 크기는 직경 4 inch이었다. 알루미늄 박막의 미세조직과 밀도에 영향을 주는 공정변수를 확인하기 위해서 스퍼터링 파워, 공정 압력, 외부 자기장 세기 등의 조건을 변화시켜 코팅을 실시하였다. 알루미늄 박막의 밀도 변화에 가장 큰 영향을 준 공정변수는 외부 자기장의 세기와 방향이었다. 알루미늄 박막이 약 3 ${\mu}m$의 두께로 코팅된 냉연강판을 염수분무시험(salt spray test, 5% NaCl)으로 부식특성을 평가한 결과, 시험을 시작한 후 120시간 후에도 적청이 발생하지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 기존의 동일한 두께를 갖는 알루미늄이 코팅된 강판의 내부식 특성의 2배의 성능을 보여준다.

For a successful performance of Carbon Capture Sequestration (CCS) projects, appropriate injection conditions should be designed to be optimized for site specific geological conditions. In this study, we built a simple 2-dimensional analysis model, based on the geology of Jang-gi basin which is one of the potential sites of domestic CCS projects. We evaluated the impact of initial stress conditions and injection rate through coupled TOUGH-FLAC simulator. From the preliminary analysis, we constructed risk scenarios with the higher potential of shear slip and performed scenario analysis. Our analysis showed that normal stress regime produced the highest potential of shear slip and stepwise increasing injection rate scenario resulted in much larger pore pressure build up and consequent higher potential of the shear slip, which was evaluated using a mobilized friction coefficient.

This research was conducted to study the changes in physical characteristics of mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) as influenced by drying methods. Samples were dried using either hot air drying, vacuum drying, or freeze drying and changes in the color, browning index, hardness and rehydration rate were evaluated by response surface methodology. Hot air drying resulted in the fastest drying of sample as compared to other methods. The rate of drying was most affected by the environmental temperature rather than air velocity or vacuum pressure. The overall color difference increased as the temperature and air velocity increased. The overall color changes of the freeze dried samples were minimal as compared to those of fresh mushrooms. The hot air dried samples showed the greatest changes in the overall color, browning index as well as hardness. The freeze dried samples showed the best rehydration characteristic and maintained the best overall quality after drying.

The steel industry, a representative industry that significantly consumes raw materials and energy, produces steel as well as a large amount of by-product steel slag through the production process. The vast habitat foundation of marine life has been destroyed due to recent reckless marine development and environment pollution, resulting in intensification of the decline of marine resources, and a solution to this issue is imperative. In order to propose a method to recycle large amounts of by-product slag into a material that can serve as an alternative to natural aggregate, the engineering properties and applicability for each mixing factor of environment friendly porous concrete as a material for the composition of marine ranches were evaluated in this study. The test results for percentage of voids per mixing ratio revealed that the margin of error for all conditions was within 2.5%. The compressive strength test results showed that the most outstanding environmental friendly porous concrete can be manufactured when mixing 30% slag aggregate and 10% specially treated granular fertilizer for the optimum volume fraction. As concrete for marine applications, the best seawater resistance was obtained with mixing conditions for high compression strength. An assessment of the ability to provide a marine life habitat foundation of environmentally friendly porous concrete showed that a greater percentage of voids facilitated implantation and inhabitation of marine life, and the mixing of specially treated granular fertilizer led to active initial implantation and activation of inhabitation. The evaluation of harmfulness to marine life depending on the mixture of slag aggregate and specially treated granular fertilizer revealed that the stability of fish is secured.

Recently, as a variety of techniques of CMF (Compressed media filter) that has advantages of high porosity and compressibility have been developed in the U.S. and Japan. Therefore, the interest of intensive wastewater treatment using CMF has grown. This study examined the feasibility of CMF with varying sewage water quality to determine the optimum operating conditions. A preliminary tracer test that investigated the filtering process under various compression and flow rate conditions was performed. In a high compression condition, different porosities were applied to each depth of the column. Therefore, a distinct difference between a theoretical value and results of tracer test was observed. For the TSS (Total suspended solid) removal and particle size distribution of CMF for pre-treatment water under the various compression conditions, the compression ratio of 30 percent as the optimal condition showed greater than 70% removal efficiency. In addition, the compression ratio of >15% was required to remove small-sized particles. Also, an additional process such as coagulation is necessary to increase the removal efficiency for < $10{\mu}m$ particles, since these small particles significantly influence the effluent concentration. Modeling results showed that as the compression rate was increased, TSS removal efficiency in accordance with each particle size in the initial filtration was noticeably observed. The modeling results according to the depth of column targeting $10{\mu}m$ particles having the largest percentage in particle size distribution showed that 150-300 mm in filter media layer was the most active with respect to the filtering.
