In this study, different proportions of glass beads used for road marking were added into the concrete samples to reduce the temperature gradient through the concrete pavement thickness. It is well known that decreasing the temperature gradient reduces the risk of thermal cracking and increases the service life of concrete pavement. The extent of alkali-silica reaction (ASR) produced with partial replacement of fine aggregate by glass bead was investigated and compressive strength of concrete samples with different proportion of glass bead in their mix designs were measured in this study. Ideal results were obtained with less than 0.850 mm diameter size glass beads were used (19 % by total weight of aggregate) for C30/37 class concrete. Top and bottom surface temperatures of two different C30/37 strength class concrete slabs with and without glass beads were measured. It was identified that, using glass bead in concrete mix design, reduces the temperature differences between top and bottom surfaces of concrete pavement. The study presented herein provides important results on the necessity of regulating concrete road mix design specifications according to regions and climates to reduce the temperature gradient values which are very important in concrete road design.

To study the dispersion factors of silica sol prepared from fumed silica powder, we prepared silica sol under an aqueous system using a batch type bead mill. The dispersion properties of silica sol have a close relationship to dispersion factors such as pH, milling time and speed, the size and amount of zirconia beads, the solid content of fumed silica, and the shape and diameter of the milling impellers. Especially, the silica particles in silica sol were found to show dispersion stability on a pH value above 7, due to the electrostatic repulsion between the particles having a high zeta potential value. The shape and diameter of the impellers installed in the bead mill for the dispersion of fumed silica was very important in reducing the particle size of the aggregated silica. The median particle size ($D_{50}$) of silica sol obtained after milling was also optimized according to the variation of the size and amount of the zirconia beads that were used as the grinding medium, and according to the solid content of fumed silica. The dispersion properties of silica sol were investigated using zeta potential, turbiscan, particle size analyzer, and transmission electron microscopy.

저서성 미세조류의 성장에 미치는 부착기질의 영향을 알기 위해 서로 다른 크기의 glass bead를 첨가하여 저서성 미세조류 Nitzschia sp.(진해만 클론)의 성장을 조사하였다. 연구에 사용된 glass bead의 크기는 0.09-0.15 mm(G1), 0.25-0.50 mm(G2), 0.75-1.00 mm(G3) 그리고 1.25-1.65 mm(G4)이며, glass bead를 첨가하지 않는 대조구도 설정하였다. Nitzschia sp.의 가장 높은 성장속도(0.37/day)와 최대세포밀도($9,232{\pm}840$ cells/mL)는 가장 작은 크기의 glass bead를 첨가한 G1에서 나타났다. 그리고 성징속도와 최대세포밀도는 glass bead 크기의 증가와 함께 감소하였다(G4의 성장속도와 최대세포밀도는 각각 0.24/day와 $6,397{\pm}524$ cells/mL였다). 더욱이 대조구의 성장속도는 실험구 G1에서 G3의 성장속도보다 상당히 낮았다. 이 결과에서 Nitzschia sp.와 같은 저서성 미세조류를 위한 부착기질은 성장속도 뿐만 아니라 세포밀도에도 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 부착미세조류의 생리실험을 위해서는 예비실험으로 부착기질의 유무 및 대상 종에 적합한 부착입자의 크기의 고려가 필요할 것으로 보인다.

Former studies revealed that sepiolite thermally treated at high temperature have high adsorption capacity for phosphate. However, its micron size (75 ㎛) limits its application to water treatment. In this study, we synthesized sepiolite impregnated polysulfone (PSf) beads to separate it easily from an aqueous solution. PSf beads with different sepiolite ratios were synthesized and their efficiencies were compared. The PSf beads with 30% impregnated sepiolite (30SPL-PSf bead) possessed the optimum sepiolite ratio for phosphate removal. Kinetic, equilibrium, and thermodynamic adsorption experiments were performed using the 30SPL-PSf bead. Equilibrium adsorption was achieved in 24 h, and the pseudo-first-order model was suitable for describing the phosphate adsorption at different reaction times. The Langmuir model was appropriate for describing the phosphate adsorption onto the 30SPL-PSf bead, and the maximum adsorption capacity of the 30SPL-PSf bead obtained from the model was 24.48 mg-PO₄/g. Enthalpy and entropy increased during the phosphate adsorption onto the 30SPL-PSf bead, and Gibb's free energy at 35 ℃ was negative. An increase in the solution pH from 3 to 11 induced a decrease in the phosphate adsorption amount from 27.30 mg-PO₄/g to 21.54 mg-PO₄/g. The competitive anion influenced the phosphate adsorption onto the 30SPL-PSf bead was in the order of NO₃^- > SO₄^2- > HCO_3^-. The phosphate breakthrough from the column packed with the 30SPL-PSf bead began after ~2000 min, reaching the influent concentration after ~8000 min. The adsorption amounts per unit mass of 30SPL-PSf and removal efficiency were 0.775 mg-PO₄/g and 61.6%, respectively. This study demonstrates the adequate performance of 30SPL-PSf beads as a filter for phosphate removal from aqueous solutions.

Investigations of process parameters are essential when fabricating high-quality parts using additive manufacturing. This study investigates the change in the mechanical characteristics of a SUS316L specimen fabricated using selective laser melting based on the energy density and bead overlap ratio. The SUS316L powder particles were spherical and 35 ㎛ in size. Single-bead and hexahedral shape deposition experiments were performed sequentially. A single bead experiment was performed to obtain the bead overlap ratios for different laser parameters utilizing laser power and scan speed as experimental parameters. A hexahedral shape deposition experiment was also performed to observe the difference in mechanical properties, such as the internal porosity, surface roughness, and hardness, based on the energy density and bead overlap ratio of the three-dimensional printed part. Laser power, scan speed, overlap ratio, and layer thickness were chosen as parameters for the hexahedral shape deposition experiment. Accordingly, the energy density applied for three-dimensional printing, and the experimental parameters were calculated, and the energy density and bead overlap ratio for fabricating parts with good properties have been suggested.

A fluidized bed drying approach was utilized to the synthesis of water glass based silica aerogel powders. The effects of the fluidized bed drying conditions such as the superficial velocity and temperature of hot air and bead size as well as bead/wet-gel ratio, on the physical properties such as tapping density and productivity of the aerogel powders were systematically investigated. The experimental results showed that the amount of beads mixed with wet-gels in the fluidized bed column has the most profound impact on the fluidization efficiency, greatly enhancing the yield of the aerogel powders up to 98% with a proper bead/wet-gel weight ratio as compared to 72% without using beads. No significant change was observed in the tapping density over a wide range of the fluidized drying condition. Consequently the fluidized bed drying approach shows a good promise as an alternative route for the large-scale production of the aerogel powders.

A cell-entrapment technique using compressed air was applied to Bifidobacterium longum KCTC 3128 for the improvement of bifidobacteria viability. The main cell-entrapment matrix used was alginate, and viability improvement of the B. longum entrapped in alginate lattices was monitored along with the effects of other additional biopolymers. A prerequisite for acquiring consistent results was the uniformity of bead size and cell distribution which was achieved by using compressed air and mixing the cell suspension with sterilized alginate powder, respectively. The viability losses of the B. longum entrapped in alginate beads in the presence of three different substances logarithmically increased in relation to the reaction time, and proportionately decreased with an increased alginate concentration and bead diameter. The strongest improvement in B. longum viability was exhibited with a bead containing 3％ alginate and 0.15％ xanthan gum.

Calcium Alginate gel에 고정화된 Aureobasidium pullulans cell을 이용한 fructo-이igosaccharides 생산 반응메카니즘에 있어서 포도당, sucrose 및 fructo-oligosaccharides의 유효확산계수를 구하고, 반응메카니즘에 대한 수학적 모벨을 제안하였다. $770g/\ell$, $860g/\ell$ 의 고농도 당용액에서 이들의 유효확산계수는 $1.2-7.6\times10^{-7}\textrm{cm}^2$/s 범위로 매우 낮은 값을 보였고, 이 결과를 모댈식에서 적용하여 기질농도, bead 크기 및 첨가비율 등을 변화시키면서 실험적으로 검증해 본 결과 실험치와 모델식이 대체로 잘 일하였다.

Aspergillus niger KCTC 6144 포자를 alginate bead로 고정화하여 호박배지(포도당 9%, 호박가루 1%, pH 6)를 이용하여 구연산 발효를 수행하였다. 고정화된 A. niger 포자가 bead 내에서 발아하여 균사가 bead를 뚫고 자라났으며 3$0^{\circ}C$에서 4일간 배양 후 그 크기는 2.0~2.5mm에서 6~8mm로 커졌다. 3$0^{\circ}C$에서 5일간 진탕배양(150rpm)으로, 50ml 호박 배지가 든 250ml 삼각 flask를 사용하여, 구연산 생성의 최적 발효 조건을 검토한 결과는 다음과 같다. 탄소원으로 포도당을 12%로 올렸을 때 구연산의 생성이 최고에 달하였고, 질소 및 무기질원으로 1%의 호박가루가 구연산 생성에 가장 알맞는 농도였다. 초기 pH는 6.0, bead의 수가 100개로 하였을 때 구연산 생성이 가장 좋았으며, 포도당 12%, 호박가루 1%로 한 최적 배양 조건에서, 5일만에 구연산이 23.5g/ι로 최고로 생성되었다.
