For the long-term goal of using peanut sprouts as a functional food material, the total polyphenol content and the antioxidant activity of methanol extracts were examined with use of 9 day-old peanut sprouts and peanuts collected in Chungbuk, Gyeongbuk and Jeonbuk provinces of Korea, China and Vietnam. The polyphenol levels in the sprout extracts were higher than those of the peanut extracts. The phenolic content of the Gyeongbuk peanut sprout extract (20.4 mg/g) was the highest of the tested samples. After 9 days of germination the peanut sprout extracts had higher activities than those of the peanut extracts. In particular, the activity of Gyeongbuk peanut sprout extract was the highest (37.67% at a concentration of $200\;{\mu}L/mL$), and its reducing power demonstrated a similar trend. The DPPH radical scavenging activities were measured for methanol extracts of cotyledon, root and stem of Gyeongbuk peanut sprouts; the highest (90.96% at a concentration of $200\;{\mu}L/mL$) was the activity of cotyledon. ABTS radical scavenging and $\beta$-carotene bleaching activities also were higher in the cotyledon extract than in those of the root or the stem. The resveratrol content was higher in the Gyeongbuk peanut sprout extract than in the Gyeongbuk peanut extract ($15.05\;{\mu}g/g $and $1.42\;{\mu}g/g$, respectively). These results suggest that peanut sprouts potentially could be used as a functional food material exhibiting antioxidant effects.

Effects of operating parameters such as applied voltage, solution conductivity, ferrous ion concentration, electrode material on phenol degradation by pulsed corona discharges were investigated in laboratory scale experiments. The increase of applied voltage enhanced the phenol degradation by generating more energetic electrons. The solution conductivity inversely affected phenol removal rate in the tested ranges because the increase of conductivity decreased the electric field strength through the liquid phase. The addition of ferrous sulfate promoted the phenol degradation through the OH radical production by the Fentonlike reactions between ferrous ion and hydrogen peroxide generated by pulsed corona discharges. Catechol and hydroquinone were detected as primary intermediates of phenol degradation and the decrease of pH and the increase of conductivity were observed probably due to the generation of organic acids. Almost all of the initial phenol was disappeared and 29% of total organic corbon (TOC) was removed in the condition of 0.5 mM of ferrous sulfate after approximately 230 kJ of discharge energy transferred to the reactor.

국내 화력발전의 $CO_2$배출량을 크게 줄이고, 친환경, 그린 화력발전시스템을 위한 가장 효과적인 수단은 발전효율을 획기적으로 증대시키는 것이기 때문에 이를 목표로 한 기술개발은 경제적으로나 산업적으로 파급효과가 매우 크다. 발전효율 증대를 위한 핵심기술은 증기터빈의 성능향상이다. 현재 일본, 미국, EU 등 각국이 가장 관심을 가지고 기술개발에 심혈을 쏟고 있는 초내열, 내식 합금소재는 $700^{\circ}C$이상에서 기계적 성능을 보장할 수 있는 Ni기 합금개발이고, 현재까지 상당한 기술수준에 이르고 있는 것으로 파악되고 있다. 국내의 경우는 관련기술개발을 위해 연구가 진행되고 있으나, 기술적으로 아직 미흡한 수준이다. Ni기 초내열, 내식합금을 개발해서 그것을 화력발전용 증기터빈 부품, 특히 초내열합금 용접형 터빈로터 소재로 이용하기 위해서는 체계적이고 실용적인 연구를 통하여 용접형로타의 내구성과 신뢰성이 보장되는 최적 수준의 접합기술 개발이 선행되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구는 선행연구로 $700^{\circ}C$이상 초내열/내식 Ni기 합금소재의 용접기술 개발을 위한 후보 소재 Alloy 617의 동종재료 용접 기술 개발을 목표로 한다. 본 연구는 Alloy617 12.6t 맞대기 이음으로 U그루브 내로갭 TIG용접을 하였다. 1pass 1layer 방식으로 총 8pass 8layer로 용접하였다. 전류 및 용접속도는 동일하게 두고 실드가스를 Ar 또는 Ar-$H_2$ 가스로 변경하여 시험하였다. Ar가스 TIG용접은 비드표면에 산화스케일이 생기고, 비드면이 거칠며 전체적으로 산화되었다. 반면에 Ar-$H_2$가스 TIG용접은 비드표면에 산화스케일이 없으며 표면이 미려하고 산화되지 않았다. 실드가스에 수소가스 첨가시 환원성가스로 역할을 하게 되고 이에 따라 용융지 표면에 산화피막을 제거하여 용접비드를 청정하게 하는 효과를 가진다.

In this study, electrochemical methods were used to determine the optimum protection potential of S355ML steel for the cathodic protection of offshore wind-turbine-tower substructures. The results of potentiodynamic polarization experiments indicated that the anodic polarization curve did not represent a passivation behavior, while under the cathodic polarization concentration, polarization was observed due to the reduction of dissolved oxygen, followed by activation polarization by hydrogen evolution as the potential shifted towards the active direction. The concentration polarization region was found to be located between approximately -0.72 V and -1.0 V, and this potential range is considered to be the potential range for cathodic protection using the impressed current cathodic protection method. The results of the potentiostatic experiments at various potentials revealed that varying current density tended to become stable with time. Surface characterization after the potentiostatic experiment for 1200 s, by using a scanning electron microscope and a 3D analysis microscope confirmed that corrosion damage occurred as a result of anodic dissolution under an anodic polarization potential range of 0 to -0.50 V, which corresponds to anodic polarization. Under potentials corresponding to cathodic polarization, however, a relatively intact surface was observed with the formation of calcareous deposits. As a result, the potential range between -0.8 V and -1.0 V, which corresponds to the concentration polarization region, was determined to be the optimum potential region for impressed current cathodic protection of S355ML steel.

최근에는 차세대 조명용 후보광원인 고출력 백색 LED를 개발하기 위한 경쟁이 치열하며, 이를 위해 업체가 고심하고 있는 가장 큰 문제 중의 하나가 칩에서 발생하는 열을 어떻게 관리하는가 하는 방열의 문제이다. 따라서, LED의 가장 큰 특징인 장수명을 손해보지 않기 위해서는 칩에서 발생되고 있는 열을 외부에 확산시키기 위한 기술 개발이 필수적이다. 다양한 방열소재 중 W-Cu 복합재는 W의 낮은 열팽창계수와 Cu의 높은 열전도도로 인해 방열소재로써 유망한 소재로 주목받고 있으나, 우수한 열적 특성을 발현하기 위해서는 고치밀화를 갖는 W-Cu 복합재 제조가 우선적으로 필요하다. W-Cu 복합체는 일반적으로 액상소결법을 통해 균일한 미세조직을 얻을 수 있으나, 열팽창계수를 낮추기 위해 Cu 함량이 적어지게 되면 치밀화가 어려우며 이를 해결하기 위해 나노입자를 갖는 분말을 이용하고자 하는 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 W과 Cu 산화물을 이용하는 것이 구성성분끼리의 편석이 발생하지 않으며, 소결성도 우수하여 양산화에 가장 접근한 방법으로 알려져 있다. 그러나, 지금까지의 얻어진 W-Cu 복합체의 경우, 분말상태에서의 얻어진 나노입자가 승온시에 마이크로 크기로 과도한 입자성장이 일어나기 때문에 소결 후에도 나노크기를 유지하기 어려울 뿐만 아니라, 구성상끼리의 응집체가 형성된다. 본 연구에서는 액상소결후에 W 입자가 Cu 기지내에 균일하게 분산되는 동시에 나노크기의 입자를 가지는 고분산 W-Cu 소결체를 얻고자 하였다. 이를 위해 금속산화물 분말의 분쇄를 위해 효과적인 방법으로 알려진 습식상태에서의 고에너지 볼밀링을 통하여 혼합된 텅스텐과 구리 산화물 분말의 수소환원공정을 통해 얻어진 100nm 이하의 입자를 가지는 W-20wt%Cu 나노복합분말을 출발분말로 사용하였다. W-20wt%Cu 나노복합분말의 성형체를 $1050^{\circ}C-1250^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 소결거동을 조사하였다. 그 결과, $1100^{\circ}C$ 온도에서 이론밀도에 가까운 소결밀도를 나타내었으며, 이는 기존에 비해 $100^{\circ}C$ 정도 치밀화 온도를 낮추는 결과이다. 소결체의 미세구조 관찰결과, 소결 후 약 200nm의 텅스텐 입자가 Cu내에 균일하게 분산되어 있었다. 제조된 W-Cu 시편에 대해서는 LED 응용성을 조사하기 위해 열전도도와 열팽창계수 등을 평가하였다.

To develop Salicornia herbacea as a functional food material, crude polysaccharides and saponins were isolated from 80% ethanolic extracts of Salicornia herbacea using Diaion HP-20 column chromatography, and biological activities including anti-oxidation, anti-proliferation of cancer cells, and immune activities were investigated. The hydrogen-donating properties of crude polysaccharides and saponins were above 20% at $500{\mu}g/mL$ concentration. The reducing power of fractions increased in a dose-dependent manner. Crude polysaccharides and saponins at $500{\mu}g/mL$ inhibited more than 20% and 50% of proliferation by PC-3 and HT-29 human cancer cells, respectively. The anti-oxidative and anti-cancer properties of crude saponins were higher than those of crude polysaccharides. Also, proliferation in spleen cells and (nitric oxide) NO production in RAW264.7 macrophages treated with crude polysaccharides increased in a dose-dependent manner compared with the untreated control cells. However, crude saponins at concentration greater than $500{\mu}g/mL$ resulted in decreases in immune activities. Immune activities of crude polysaccharide were greater than those of crude saponins. These results indicate that Salicornia herbacea may be used as functional food materials.

To examine the characteristics of antioxidative compounds from Capsella bursa-pastoris, ethanol extracts were separated into five organic solvent fractions; hexane(Fr.H), diethyl ether (Fr.E), ethyl acetate(Fr.EA), butanol (Fr.B), and water(Fr.D) fractions. Fr.B showed the greatest electron donating ability and inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation. Whereas Fr.E had the most excellent activity in the superoxide radical scavenging activity by xanthine/xanthine oxidase-cytochrome c reduction system. The inhibitory effect of each fraction on xanthine oxidase was also measured. Fr.E had the strongest inhibitory effect on xanthine oxidase and $IC_{50}$ was $5.65\;{\mu}g$. The results indicate that the superoxide radical scavenging activity of Fr.E is caused by the inhibitory effect on radical generating system of xanthine oxidase. Also the order of inhibitory effect on xanthine oxidase was Fr.B

Al-containing titanium silicalite-1 ([Al]-TS-1) catalyst was prepared hydrothermally, and the effects of synthesis parameters such as silica/alumina sources, $SiO_2/TiO_2$ ratio, and aging treatment were investigated. The structure, crystal size, and shape were examined by XRD and SEM, and the extent of titanium incorporation into the zeolite framework was examined using UV-vis DRS spectroscopy. For [Al]-TS-1 catalyst preparation, aging of ca. 24h was essential, and the faster crystallization rates were achieved with Cab-O-Sil than with Ludox or TEOS as a silica source. In addition, the higher crystallinity and faster crystallization rate were obtained using sodium aluminate as an aluminum source. 2-butanol oxidation using $H_2O_2$ as an oxidant was carried out to confirm the redox property of the [Al]-TS-1. Acid sites catalyzed toluene alkylation study indicated that lattice titanium species in [Al]-TS-1 weakened the acid strength, and the para-ethyltoluene selectivity was enhanced as a results.

Palladium (Pd) has been widely used in various industrial applications such as jewelry, catalyst, and dental materials despite its limited resources. It has been gaining attention to recover Pd with high purity from the spent materials. This study investigated the optimum conditions for the leaching and recovery of metallic Pd. The leaching parameters are HCl concentration, temperature, time, concentration of oxidants, and pulp density. 97.2% of Pd leaching efficiency was obtained in 3 M HCl with 3 vol% oxidants at 80℃ for 60 min. The ratio of hydrogen peroxide to sodium hypochlorite played a critical role in the leaching efficiency due to the supply of Cl- ions in the leachate. Moreover, the complete recovery of Pd in the leachate was achieved at 80℃ with 0.3 formic acid/leachate after adjusting the pH value of 7. This situation was ascribed to the decomposition of formic acid into hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide at 80℃. ICP-AES and XRD characterized the recovered Pd powder, and the purity of the recovered powder was found to be 99.6%. Consequently, the recovered Pd powder with high purity could be used in circuits, catalyst precursors, and surgical instruments.

Both the groundwater changes due to different pumping rates and the geochemistry of thermal waters in the Suanbo area are considered in this study. The observation of groundwater level change since 1991 shows that the change is directly correlated with pumping rates of thermal waters and reveals the retardation of ca. 5 weeks after pumping. The hydrogeological aquifer in the area is under reducing condition. The thermal waters are of Na-HCO$_3$ type. and are alkaline (pH=8.5∼8.7) with low TDS values (274∼284 mg/l) and high concentrations of Na (68∼72 mg/l). F (6.4∼8.9 mg/l), and HCO$_3$(136∼146 mg/l). Oxygen and hydrogen isotope ratios of thermal water indicate a meteoric water origin. The activities of Rn-222 and Ra-226 in both thermal water and local groundwater were determined to delineate possible geochemical controls on the Rn-222 and Ra-226. The Rn-222 concentrations are several orders of magnitude greater than the Ra-226 concentrations. The concentrations of Rn-222 range from 190 to 7.490 pCi/1 with an average of 2,522 pCil/l. and those of Ra-226 average 0.32 pCi/1 with the range from 0.25 to 0.42 pCi/1. The concentrations of Rn-222 and Ra-226 are inversely correlated with EC and alkalinity. The pH it positively correlated with Ra-226. The correlation between Rn-222 and Ra-226 is poor. Thermal waters in the study area are produced from highly fractured phyllite. The thermal water qualify. CSAMT (controled-source audiofrequency magnetotelluric) prospecting, and petrological evidences, however, indicate that the heat is possibly transmitted through deep normal faults reaching a deep granite batholith, and the phyllite acts only as a groundwater pathway.
