Optimum packing of aggregate is an important aspect of mixture design, since porosity may be reduced and strength improved. It may also cause a reduction in paste content and is thus of economic relevance too. Several mathematic packing models have been developed in the literature for optimization of mixture design. However in this study, numerical simulation will be used as the main tool for this purpose. A basic, simple theoretical model is used for approximate assessment of mixture optimization. Calculation and simulation will start from a bimodal mixture that is based on the mono-sized packing experiences. Tri-modal and multi-sized particle packing will then be discussed to find the optimum mixture. This study will demonstrate that computer simulation is a good alternative for mixture design and optimization when appropriate particle shapes are selected. Although primarily focusing on aggregate, optimization of blends of Portland cement and mineral admixtures could basically be approached in a similar way.

자동화된 반응 열량계를 이용하여 중합비율을 관찰하면서 blockiness가 다른 PVOH를 이용하여 VAE 에멀젼을 합성하였다. 입자 분포도를 관찰 결과 단량체와 물과 비율에 따른 일정한 그라프트율은 없었다. 초기 단량체-물의 비율이 낮은 곳에서 겔 효과가 관찰되었다. 또한 입자 분포는 넓고 이중 피크가 관찰되었다. 지속적으로 제한적으로 응징집되면서 입자성장이 이루어지는 것이 관찰되었다. 이것은 제한적인 응집현상과 사슬이 PVOH로 그라프팅되어 발생한 결과로 판단된다.

In this study, the most suitable sampling methods for the bimodal mass distribution characteristics and individual particle analysis of atmospheric aerosols were investigated. Samples collected in Quartz, Teflon, and Nuclepore filters were analyzed for individual particles using scanning electron microscopy with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (SEM/EDS). Then, the pore diameter of the filter and the collection flow rate were determined using the theoretical collection efficiency calculation formula for two-stage separation sample collection of coarse and fine particles. The Nuclepore filter was found to be the most suitable filter for identifying the physical and chemical characteristics of atmospheric aerosols since it was able to separate the sample and count the different sized particles better than either Quartz or Teflon. Nuclepore filters with 8.0 ㎛ and 0.4 ㎛ pores were connected in series and exposed to a flow rate of 16.7 L/min for two-stage separation sampling. The results show that it is possible to separate and collect both coarse and fine particles. We expect that the proposed methodology will be used for future individual particle analysis of atmospheric aerosols and related research.

In Dangjin, Chungcheongnam-do, there are not only power plants and large steel complexes, but also small and medium-sized air pollutant emission facilities. The dust generated by these facilities has a very small particle size and a large surface area due to condensation and physical and chemical reactions, and is discharged containing various harmful substances. Therefore, this study analyzed the distribution of particulate matter and heavy metal concentrations by particle size in the vicinity of the steel complex, residential area, and reference point using an eight-stage Cascade Impactor. Overall, the direct impact sites with a short distance from the steel complex had the highest concentration, followed by the indirect impact sites, and the non-impact sites had the lowest concentration, indicating that they are directly affected by the steel complex. The atmospheric dust concentration distribution showed a bimodal distribution with a minimum value around the 1.1 to 2.1 ㎛ particle diameter. However, during the yellow dust event, the maximum concentration was biased toward coarse particles. The proportion of PM2.5 in the dust tended to be higher in winter, while the ratio between PM2.5 and PM10 was relatively higher in spring. Regardless of the location of the impact point, heavy metals in the dust were dominated by iron and aluminum, followed by zinc, lead, and manganese.

Numerous evidence have been reported that fine particulate matters can play an important role in threatening human health. Recently concerns on fine particle pollution from various engines may require re-examination of particulate emission standards. The particles emitted by most diesel engines are mainly divided into their size ranges such as Dp< 50 nm and 50 nm< Dp< 1,000 nm. In this work, the number concentration and the size distribution of fine particles emitted from an exhaust manifold of a railroad diesel engine were measured under load test conditions using a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS). The fine particles observed were within the range of 7 to 304 nm under different load conditions with two different dilution ratios. The fine particles exhibited unique patterns showing bimodal shapes in size distribution.

A study of aerosol dynamics has been done to obtain axially and radially varying size distributions of particles generated in the Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition process. Heat and mass transfer have also been studied since particle generation and deposition strongly depend on the temperature field in a tube. Bimodal size distributions of particles have been obtained both in the particulate flow and in the deposited particle layer for the first time using the sectional method to solve aerosol dynamics. Variations of geometric mean diameter, geometric standard deviation have been studied for various parameters; flow rates and maximum wall temperature. The comparison between one-dimensional and two-dimensional approaches has also been made.

[ $Pb(Zr_{0.2}Ti_{0.8})O_3$ ] powders, prepared by the sol-gel method, were mixed with an organic vehicle and the PZT thick films were fabricated by the screen-printing techniques on Pt/alumina substrates. The structural and dielectric properties were examined as a function of sintering temperature. The particle size distribution of the powder is bimodal with the mean particle size of about $1.2\;{\mu}m$. The average grain size of the PZT thick films sintered above $1000^{\circ}C$ was about $3.1\;{\mu}m$ and the thickness of the specimens was approximately $41\;{\mu}m$. The relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the thick films sintered at $1050^{\circ}C$ were 337 and $1.24\%$, respectively.

Plasma display panel is a potential candidate for HDTV, due to the fact hat the expansion of screen size is much easier using thick film technology. In this study, transparent dielectric materials using lead borosilicate glasses is developed, which satisfy the requirements of dielectrics for PDP. Paste is made of this glass composition. The paste has thixotropic behavior suitable for screen printing. The paste shows more thixotropic behavior as the particle size decrease. After firing, cross sectional area was analyzed by SEM. The void of fired thick film was removed using bimodal particle system. The dielectric showed good adhesion characteristics.

출발물질로 $BaCl_2$와 $TiCl_4$를 사용하고 침전제로 dimethyl oxalate(DMO)를 사용하여 균일침전법에 의해 barium titanyl oxalate(BTO)를 제조하였다. 반응조건을 변화시켜 가면서 실험을 수행한 결과 반응 온도가 높을수록, [DMO]/[$Ba^{2+}+Ti^{4+}$]의 비율이 증가할수록 핵 형성시간이 단축되었으며 BTO 입자가 unimodal에서 bimodal을 거쳐 넓은 범위의 unimodal로 전환하는 속도가 빨랐다. 균일침전법으로 얻은 BTO를 $900^{\circ}C$에서 하소하여 얻은 barium titanate(BT)의 입자 크기는 통상의 공침법으로 합성한 BT 입자보다 큰 형태를 나타냈으며, 결정상은 tetragonal이었다. 또한 교반이 BTO 및 BT 분말의 특성에 큰 영향을 줌을 발견하였다.

Estimations of dry and wet depositions in Korea and the size distributions of yellow sand above Korea have been carried out using the Eulerian aerosol model with the simulated meteorological data from the SNU mesoscale meteorological model. The estimated particle size distribution in Korea shows a bimodal distribution with peak values at 0.6 pm and 7 pm and a minimum at 2 pm in the lower layer However, as higher up, the bimodal distribution becomes an unimodal distribution with a peak value at 4∼5mm. Among the total amount of yellow sand deflated in the source regions , the dry and wet deposition fluxes were about 92%, and about 1.3∼0.5%, repectively, and the rest(5∼6%) is suspended in the air, Most of dust lifted in the air during the clear weather is deposited in the vicinity of the source regions by dry deposition and the rest undergoes the long -range transport with a gradual removal by the wet deposition processes. Over Korean peninsula, the total amount of yellow sand suspended in the air was about 6∼8% of the emissions in the source region and the dry and wet deposition fluxes were about 0.005∼0.7% and 0.003∼0.051% of the total emitted amount, repectively. It is estimated that 2.7∼8.9 mesa-tons of yellow sand is transported annually over the Korean peninsula with the annual mean dry deposition of 2.1∼490 kilo-tons and the annual mean wet deposition of 1.5∼65 kilo-tons.
