The present study has evaluated the $CO_2$ adsorption amount of activated carbon pellets (AC). Coconut shell based test AC were modified with surface impregnation of glycine, glycine metal salts and monoethanolamine for low level $CO_2$ (3000 ppm) adsorption. Physical and chemical properties of prepared adsorbents were analyzed and the adsorbed amount of $CO_2$ was investigated by using pure and 3,000 ppm $CO_2$ levels. The impregnation of nitrogen functionalities was verified by XPS analysis. The adsorption capacity for pure $CO_2$ gas was found to reach upto 3.08 mmol/g by AC-LiG (Activated carbon-Lithium glycinate), which has the largest specific surface area ($1026.9m^2/g$). As for low level $CO_2$ flow the primary amine impregnated adsorbent showed 0.26 mmol/g of adsorption amount, indicating the highest selectivity. An adsorbent with potassium-glycine salts (AC-KG, Activated carbon-Potassium glycinate) instead of amine presented with 0.12 mmol/g of adsorption capacity, which was higher than that of raw activated carbon granules (0.016 mmol/g).

Isotopes of alkali and alkaline earth metals (AM and AEM) are the main contributors to the heat load and the radiotoxicity of spent fuel (SF) . These components are separated from the SF and dissolved in a molten LiCl in an electrolytic reduction process. A mass transfer model is developed to describe the diffusion behavior of Cs, Sr, and Ba in the SF into the molten salt. The model is an analytical solution of Fick's second law of diffusion for a cylinder which is the shape of a cathode in the electrolytic reduction process. And the model is also applied to depict the concentration profile of the oxygen ion which is produced by the electrolysis of Li$_{2}$O. The regressed diffusion coefficients of the model correlating the experimentally measured data are evaluated to be greater in the order of Ba, Cs, and Sr for the metal ions and the diffusion of the oxygen ion is slower than the metal ions which implies that different mechanisms govern the diffusion of the metal ions and the oxygen ions in a molten LiCl.

Catalytic oxidation of benzene, toluene and xylene (BTX) using regenerated metal oxide catalysts (ZnO-CuO, NiO, $Fe_2O_3$, ZnO, CrO) were investigated in a fixed bed flow reactor to evaluate their feasibility for the purpose of removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Four kinds of pre-treatment methods such as gas (air and hydrogen), acid aqueous solution, alkali aqueous solution and cleaning agent were used to find out the optimal regeneration conditions. The physico-chemical properties of the used and regenerated catalysts were characterized by BET and TPR (Temperature Programmed Reduction). The used catalysts showed high conversion ratio and the catalytic ability of toluene oxidation was in the order of ZnO-CuO>$Fe_2O_3$>NiO>ZnO>CrO. We found that the acid aqueous pre-treatment (0.1 N HNO$_3$) was the best way to enhance the catalytic activity of $Fe_2O_3$. In addition, air and hydrogen gas treatment were optimal for NiO and ZnO-CuO catalysts, respectively. Furthermore, the decomposition of BTX depends on the type of a catalyst and a gas molecule.

The synthesis of Pt nanoparticles and catalytically active materials using the electrochemical top-down approach involves dispersing Pt electrodes in an electrolyte solution containing alkali metal cations and support material powder using an alternating pulsed current. Platinum is dispersed to form particles with a predominant crystallographic orientation of Pt(100) and a particle size of approximately 7.6±1.0 nm. The dispersed platinum particles have an insignificant content of PtO_x phase (0.25±0.03 wt.%). The average formation rate was 9.7±0.5 mg cm^-2 h^-1. The nature of the support (carbon material, metal oxide, carbon-metal oxide hybrid) had almost no effect on the formation rate of the Pt nanoparticles as well as their crystallographic properties. Depending on the nature of the support material, Pt-containing catalytic materials obtained by the electrochemical top-down approach showed good functional performance in fuel cell technologies (Pt/C), catalytic oxidation of CO (Pt/Al₂O₃) and electrochemical oxidation of methanol (Pt/TiO₂-C) and ethanol (Pt/SnO₂-C).

To apply PDP panel, Soda lime glass(SLG) is cheeper than Non-alkali glass and PD-200 glass but has problems such as low strain temperature and ion diffusion by alkali metal oxide. In this paper suggest the methode that prohibits ion diffusion by deposing barrier layer on SLG. Indium thin oxide(ITO) thin films and barrier layers were prepared on SLG substrate by Rf-magnetron sputtering. These films show a high electrical resistivity and rough uniformity as compared with PD-200 glass due to the alkali ion from the SLG on diffuse to the ITO film by the heat treatment. However these properties can be improved by introducing a barrier layer of $SiO_2\;or\;Al_2O_3$ between ITO film and SLG substrate. The characteristics of films were examined by the 4-point probe, SEM, UV-VIS spectrometer, and X-ray diffraction. GDS analysis confirmed that barrier layer inhibited Na and Ka ion diffusion from SLG. Especially ITO films deposited on the $Al_2O_3$ barrier layer had higher properties than those deposited on the $SiO_2$ barrier layer.

연소배가스로부터 $CO_2$를 선택적으로 분리하기 위한 활성탄 흡착공정 사용시 흡착능 향상을 위하여 $CO_2$와 친화력이 있는 화합물을 함침시키는 방법과 KOH를 함침시킨 후 고온에서 열처리하므로서 활성화시키는 방법이 사용되었다. 알칼리금속, 알칼리토금속, 또는 전이금속의 염화물을 함침시킨 활성탄에 대한 $CO_2$의 흡착량을 측정한 결과 함침 전의 활성탄의 흡착량보다 적었다. 이것은 함침되는 물질이 $CO_2$에 대한 친화력이 없이 단지 활성탄의 미세기공만 막는 결과임을 알 수 있었다. 알칼리금속수산화물 중 KOH를 함침시킨 활성탄에 대한 $CO_2$의 파과실험 결과 유입되는 기체에 수분이 있을 경우 흡착량이 증가했는데 이것은 KOH가 $CO_2$를 흡수하는 성질 때문이었다. 그러나 이 흡착제에 함친된 KOH가 $CO_2$와 반응하여 $K_2CO_3$로 변함에 따라 재현성이 없음을 알 수 있었다. KOH를 함침시킨 후 $800^{\circ}C$에서 열처리하여 활성화시킨 활성탄의 경우 함침된 KOH의 양이 증가할수록 $CO_2$의 흡착량이 증가했으며, KOH와 활성탄의 무게비(KOH/Activated-Carbon)가 4일 때 최대였다. 이 흡착제에 대해 온도별로 측정된 $CO_2$의 흡착량으로부터 Clausius-Clapeyron식을 이용하여 등량흡착열을 구했다. 그리고 고정층 파과실험을 통해 $CO_2$농도와 유속에 따른 파과특성을 살펴보았다.

We have synthesized the water-insoluble chitosan derivative, N-dithiocarboxy chitosan sodium salt, through the reaction of chitosan with carbon disulfide in the presence of alkali metal hydroxide, Chitosan itself has been prepared using chitin, one of the most abundant compounds in nature, as a starting material. To elucidate this natural polymer the capacity of adsorbing heavy metal ions, we have performed adsorption experiments using chitosan derivatives of various average molecular weights with different contents of sulfur. The effect of pH, adsorption time and temperature on adsorption efficiency was also studied. The adsorbent derived from chitosan of average molecular weight ranging $5,700{\sim}20,000$ was shown to have the highest capacity of adsorbing heavy metal ions. Adsorbing efficiency was increased as the reaction time was increased and as the reaction temperature range of $25{\sim}45^{\circ}C$. The adsorption capacity at various pH, however, appeared to vary depending on the heavy metal ions studied.

Background and objective: Illegal open-air incineration, which is criticized as a leading source of air pollutants among agricultural activities, currently requires constant effort and attention. Countries around the world have been undertaking studies on the emission of heavy metal substances in fine dust discharged during the incineration process. A precise analytical method is required to examine the harmful effects of particulate pollutants on the human body. Methods: In order to simulate open-air incineration, the infrastructure needed for incineration tests complying with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method 5G was built, and a large-area analysis was conducted on particulate pollutants through automated scanning electron microscopy (SEM)-energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). For the test specimen, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) waste collected by the DangJin Office located in Choongcheongnam-do was used. To increase the identifiability of the analyzed particles, the incineration experiment was conducted in an incinerator three times after dividing the film waste into 200 g specimens. Results: Among the metal particulate matters detected in the HDPE waste incineration test, transition metals included C (20.8-37.1 wt%) and O (33.7-37.9 wt%). As for other chemical matters, the analysis showed that metal particulate matters such as metalloids, alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, and transition metals reacted to C and C-O. Si, a representative metalloid, was detected at 14.8-20.8 wt%, showing the highest weight ratio except for C and O. Conclusion: In this study, the detection of metal chemicals in incinerated particulate matters was effectively confirmed through SEM-EDS. The results of this study verified that HDPE waste adsorbs metal chemicals originating from soil due to its own properties and deterioration, and that when incinerated, it emits particulate matters containing transition metals and other metals that contribute to the excessive production and reduction of reactive oxygen species.

파라치환된 포타슘 페녹사이드류와 18-crown-6가 이루는 1 : 1 착물 형성상수를 전기 전도도법으로 35${\circ}C$에서 측정하여 용매와 치환기의 변화에 따른 효과를 측정하였다. 18-crown-6와 $K^+$의 착물 형성상수는 $CH_3$OH(DN=19.0) > DMF(26.6) > DMSO(29.8)의 순으로 감소되었다. 이는 전자주게 수가 클수록 $K^+$과 용매와의 상호작용이 커지므로 크라운 에테르와의 착물형성과의 서로 경쟁관계가 되어 $K_f$값이 작아진다고 추정된다. 포타슘 페녹사이드의 치환기가 p-N$O_2$ > H > p-$CH_3$ > p-O$CH_3$의 순으로 $K_f$값이 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이는 전자를 당기는 기는 페녹사이드 음이온이 비편재화되어 안정해지므로 전자를 미는 기에 비해서 $K^+$를 쉽게 내어 놓을 수 있어 18-crown-6와의 착물 형성이 용이하기 때문이라고 생각된다.
