본 연구의 목적은 알루미늄판에 활성탄을 얇게 박판으로 코팅하여 분진제거를 위한 활성탄 전극을 제조함에 있다. 전극을 제조하기위하여 알루미늄판에 활성탄을 부착시키기 위한 적정 결합제 선정 그리고 결합제 사용에 따른 활성탄 세공의 막힘방지 그리고 제조된 제극의 분진제거능력 등을 알아보는 연구를 수행하였다. 알루미늄판에 활성탄 부착을 위한 결합제로는 비닐계의 PVA (polyvinyl acetate)가 적정하였고, 결합제 사용에 따른 활성탄 세공의 막힘을 방지하기 위해서는 우선 먼저 활성탄 세공에 결합제의 용매제를 충진하고 나중에 결합제와 활성탄을 혼합 후 고온에서 휘발시키는 방법이 적정하였다. 그리고 활성탄이 코팅된 전극판은 알루미늄 전극판보다 약 두배의 분진부착능력을 보여주었다.

This study investigates the effects of a carbon fiber layer formed on the surface of an etched aluminum current collector on the electrochemical properties of the activated carbon electrodes for an electric double layer capacitor. A particle size analyzer, field-emission SEM, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherm analyzer are employed to analyze the structure of the carbon fiber layer. The electric and electrochemical properties of the activated carbon electrodes using a carbon fiber layer are evaluated using an electrode resistance meter and a charge-discharge tester, respectively. To uniformly coat the surface with carbon fiber, we applied a planetary mill process, adjusted the particle size, and prepared the carbon paste by dispersing in a binder. Subsequently, the carbon paste was coated on the surface of the etched aluminum current collector to form the carbon under layer, after which an activated carbon slurry was coated to form the electrodes. Based on the results, the interface resistance of the EDLC cell made of the current collector with the carbon fiber layer was reduced compared to the cell using the pristine current collector. The interfacial resistance decreased from 0.0143 Ω·cm² to a maximum of 0.0077 Ω·cm². And degradation reactions of the activated carbon electrodes are suppressed in the 3.3 V floating test. We infer that it is because the improved electric network of the carbon fiber layer coated on the current collector surface enhanced the electron collection and interfacial diffusion while protecting the surface of the cathode etched aluminum; thereby suppressing the formation of Al-F compounds.

활성탄에 $TiO_2$를 졸-겔 방법으로 코팅하여 탄소복합전극을 제조하였고 축전식 이온제거(Capacitive deionization : CDI) 과정에서 나타난 제염효과에 대하여 고찰하였다. 본 연구에서 $TiO_2$는 전극의 젖음성을 향상시켜 전극과 전해질의 접촉 저항을 감소시키고, 전기이중층 흡착량을 증가시킬 수 있으므로 CDI전극재로 활성탄에 코팅하였다. TEM, XRD, XPS로 활성탄에 $TiO_2$가 코팅되었는지 확인하였다. 순환전류전압법과 impedance측정 결과 탄소복합전극이 탄소전극보다 전기이중층 용량이 증가하였으며, 전극의 확산저항이 줄어든 것을 확인하였다. 또한 이온제거율을 확인하기 위한 충전-방전 및 이온전도도 평가 결과 전해질 NaCl $1000\;{\mu}S/cm$에서 탄소복합전극이 탄소전극보다 39% 더 많은 이온을 제거하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과 CDI용 전극재료 $TiO_2$가 코팅된 탄소복합전극이 탄소전극보다 효과적인 제염효과를 보임을 확인하였다.

This study aimed to develop a new dust collecting system equipped with an activated carbon (A.C.) coated electrode. Before fabrication, pre-treatment of A.C. was performed to remove metal ions within the A.C. to enlarge its specific surface area. Then, pre-treated A.C., black carbon, polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), and methanol were mixed to make a gel compound, which was coated onto aluminum plates to fabricate electrodes. The optimal mixing ratio of A.C., black carbon, PVAc, and methanol was found to be 10 g: 2 g: 3 g: 20 mL. After fabrication, the electrodes were used in the batch-type experiment for $NH_3$ and $H_2S$ removal. The reduction rates of the gases were high at the beginning and slowly reduced with time. Dust collection experiments were conducted in continuous flow, with various voltages applied. Compared to 5 kV, dust removal efficiency was 1.5 times higher when 10 kV was applied. Increasing the number of electrodes applied also increased the collecting efficiency. The correlation coefficient between actual collecting efficiency and trend line was higher than 99%. Consequently, the novel dust collection system equipped with A.C. coated electrode appears to be a promising substitute for existing dust-control devices.

This study was performed to provide the basic data for the function of BTEX removal for compact electrostatic precipitator which are applicable to indoor environment (or closed spaces). For this purpose, the adsorption equilibrium test was conducted for BTEX of activated carbon sheet (ACS) and activated carbon (AC), and the adsorption characteristics of AC and ACS were evaluated using the Langmuir constant which was obtained from the adsorption characteristics, adsorption capacity and regression calculation. The surface area and adsorption pore volume of ACS reduced by 70% and 86%, respectively, as compared to those of AC, and the adsorption capacities of BTEX also showed a similar level. Thus, it is considered that ACS applied electrostatic precipitator is able to remove dust and BTEX simultaneously.

본 연구의 목적은 분진제거를 목적으로 제작된 활성탄 전극의 적정 간격 및 적정 전압 그리고 분진 제거효율을 통하여 전극의 적정한 배열에 대하여 알아보고자 수행하였다. 여러 전극 간격 별로 수행한 실험결과로부터 분진의 부착 및 탈착의 빈도수는 전극의 간격이 가까워질수록 증가하였다. 전극 단위면적 당 분진 부착량은 전극간격이 멀어질수록 증가하였지만 총 부착량에 있어서는 전극간격이 가까울수록 전극의 설치수가 많아져서 증가하였다. 이와같은 실험결과로부터 분진제거 챔버에서 전극의 설치간격은 앞단의 경우는 분진 부하량이 높기 때문에 제거량이 많도록 전극의 간격을 멀리하고 후단은 제거효율을 높이기 위하여 전극간격을 가깝게 설치하는 것이 바람직하다고 사료되었다. 그리고 전압 5 kV, 전극간격 2 cm에서 전압의 변화에 따른 분진부착량 실험결과에서 전압의 변화와 부착량과는 상관관계가 없었다.

The purposes of this research are to know the dust removal efficiency according to the changes of gab between positive and negative plates in dust removal chamber. The experiments for dust removal efficiencies were conducted with changing the electrode-plate gab from 2 cm to 1 cm while the electric pressure, influent flow, and linear velocity were kept 5 kV, 80 L/min, and 6 cm/sec, respectively. From the experimental results of the electrode-plate gab of 2 cm, dust removal efficiencies were decreased to as low as about 50%. Attached dust on the surface of electrodes was released due to a reverse electric charge of dust. From the experimental results of the electrode-plate gab of 1 cm, dust removal efficiencies were increased to as high as about 80% due to the dust attachment velocity to the electrodes to be far more fast than influent linear velocity. Finally, to protect a attached dust from occurring a reverse electric charge it is needed to install the non-conductor between positive and negative electrodes and also to remove air humidity.

A simulated wastewater containing the dye Rhodamine B (RhB) was electrolytically treated using a three-dimensional electrode reactor equipped with granular activated carbon (GAC) as particle electrode. The effect of type of packing material (GAC, ACF, Nonwoven fabric fiber coated with activated carbon), amounts of GAC packing (25-100 g), current (0.5-3 A) and electrolyte concentration (0.5-3 g/l) was evaluated. Experimental results showed that performance for RhB decolorization of the 3 three-dimensional electrodes lie in: GAC > Nonwoven fabric fiber > ACF. When considered RhB decolorization, oxidants concentration and electric power, optimum GAC dosage was 50 g. Generated concentration of 3 oxidants ($ClO_2$, free Cl, $H_2O_2$) was increased with increase of applied current, however optimum current for RhB degradation was 2.5 A. The oxidants concentration was increased with increase of NaCl concentration and optimum NaCl dosage for RhB degradation was 1.5 g/l.

Nickel sulfide (NiS) is one of the most promising candidates as an electrode material for supercapacitors due to its good capacitive properties, high electrical conductivity and low cost. In addition to the development of the new electrode materials, nanostructuring the electrode surface is one of the main issues in enhancing the capacitive performance of the supercapacitors because the increased surface area can improve the charge transfer and energy storage processes occurring at the electrode surface. However, most nanofabrication techniques require complicated and delicate nanoprocesses, and hence are not suitable for practical use. In this work, we developed a simple method to fabricate nanostructured NiS electrodes by depositing NiS onto $TiO_2$ nanoparticles. First, $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were spin-coated on a fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate, and then NiS layers were deposited onto the $TiO_2$ nanoparticles by consecutive dip-coatings in the solutions containing nickel and sulfur precursors. This nanostructured NiS electrode showed significantly improved capacitive properties compared to the electrode of NiS films deposited without $TiO_2$ nanoparticles. The asymmetric full-cell supercapacitor with this nanostructured NiS electrode and activated carbon electrode was also fabricated and investigated.

6M KOH 수계 전해액에 potassium poly(acrylate) (PAAK)를 3 wt% 포함시켜 제조한 하이드로겔을 poly(acrylonitrile)부직포 분리막에 코팅하고, 이를 활성탄 수퍼커패시터의 분리막 및 전해질로 사용하여 수퍼커패시터의 고율특성 향상을 시도하였다. 이 분리막 및 전해질은전자현미경 관찰 결과 PAAK 하이드로겔이 부직포의 표면기공에 균일하게 코팅되어 있으며, 24일 동안 하이드로겔의 합습도가 230% 이상으로 균일하게 유지되었고, 6 M KOH 전해액을 사용한 경우($3.6{\times}10^{-2}Scm^{-1}$)보다 약간 낮은 $2.9{\times}10^{-2}Scm^{-1}$의 이온전도도를 나타내었다. 활성탄을 활물질로 사용한 대칭형 수퍼커패시터에 이 분리막 및 전해질을 채택한 경우 사이클릭볼타메트리 시험에서 $1000mVs^{-1}$의 고속스캔 조건에서도 $27Fg^{-1}$ 이상의 높은 비축전용량과 1000 사이클 경과후에도 97% 이상의 유지율을 나타내는데, 이는 부직포 상에 코팅된 PAAK 하이드로겔 전해질이 활성탄 전극과 부직포 분리막 사이에서 강력한 계면밀착을 유지할 수 있기 때문이다.
