PSf/D2EHPA/CNT beads were prepared by immobilizing di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) and carbon nanotubes (CNT) on polysulfone (PSf) and used to remove Cu(II) from aqueous solutions. Optimum pH was in the range of 4 to 6. The removal kinetic of Cu(II) by the prepared PSf/D2EHPA/CNT beads was mainly governed by internal diffusion, and the diffusion coefficient of Cu(II) by PSf/D2EHPA/CNT beads was found to be $2.19{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}2.64{\times}10^{-4}cm^2/s$. The Langmuir isotherm model predicted the experimented data well. The maximum removal capacity of Cu(II) obtained from this isotherm was 7.32 mg/g. Calculated thermodynamic parameters such as ${\Delta}G^o$, ${\Delta}H^o$ and ${\Delta}S^o$ showed that the adsorption of Cu(II) ions onto PSf/D2EHPA/CNT beads was feasible, spontaneous and endothermic at 293-323 K.

In water-cooled power reactor, hydrogen is generated in case of steam zirconium reaction during severe accident condition and later on in addition to hydrogen; CO is also generated during molten corium concrete interaction after reactor pressure vessel failure. Passive Autocatalytic Recombiners (PARs) are provided in the containment for hydrogen management. The performance of the PARs in presence of hydrogen and carbon monoxide along with air has been evaluated. Depending on the conditions, CO may either react with oxygen to form carbon dioxide (CO2) or act as catalyst poison, reducing the catalyst activity and hence the hydrogen conversion efficiency. CFD analysis has been carried out to determine the effect of CO on catalyst plate temperature for 2 & 4% v/v H₂ and 1-4% v/v CO with air at the recombiner inlet for a reported experiment. The results of CFD simulations have been compared with the reported experimental data for the model validation. The reaction at the recombiner plate is modelled based on diffusion theory. The developed CFD model has been used to predict the maximum catalyst temperature and outlet species concentration for different inlet velocity and temperatures of the mixture gas. The obtained results were used to fit a correlation for obtaining removal rate of carbon monoxide inside PAR as a function of inlet velocity and concentrations.

Diffusion of Cl- ion in hardened cement paste with slag and siliceous powder such as silica fume and white carbon was investigated. The addition of admixtures reduces the content of Ca(OH)2, which is the main cause of pore formation by corrosive action of sea-water. The addition of admixtures makes the hardened cement paste dense, thereby restricting the diffusion of Cl- ion and improving the resistance to sea-water. Apparence diffusion coefficient of Cl- ion in hardened ordinary portland cement paste was 3.7${\times}$10-8$\textrm{cm}^2$/sec, while that for the hardened cement paste with the admixture was 1.2∼3.2${\times}$10-8$\textrm{cm}^2$/sec.

This study aimed to investigate the influence of mesoporous carbons on the thermal insulation properties of epoxy/mesoporous carbon composites. The mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) was prepared by conventional templating method using SBA-15. The epoxy/mesoporous carbon composites were prepared by mixing the synthesized CMK-3 with diglycidylether of bisphenol A (DGEBA). As experimental results, the curing reactivities of the DGEBA/CMK-3 composites were found to decrease with the addition of the CMK-3. Also, the thermal conductivities of DGEBA/CMK-3 composites were found to decrease with increasing CMK-3 content. This could be interpreted in terms of the slow thermal diffusion rate resulting in pore volume existing in the gaps in the interfaces between the mesoporous carbon and the DGEBA matrix.

Granular activated carbon is commonly used in fixed-bed adsorbers to remove organic chemicals. In this experiment organic chemical solutions were prepared by adding the reagent grade organic chemical to distilled water. Isotherm adsorption tests of volatile organic chemicals were conducted using bottle-point technique and column test. Organic chemicals after passing through the column were extracted with hexane and analyzed with gas chromatography (Hewlett-Packard 5890) to check the adsorption capacity and breakthrough curve. The result were as follows: 1. The BET surface area of coconut activated carbon was 658~1,010 m$^2$/g where as coconut shell carbon was 6.6 m$^2$/g. Coconut activated carbon increased the BET surface area and adsorption capacity in bottle-point isotherm. 2. The adsorption capacity of coconut activated carbon for trichloroethylene (TCE) was reduced in the presence of humic substance. 3. A decrease in particle size of activated carbon resulted in higher adsorption capacity and lower intraparticle diffusion coefficient. It is reflected not only as a decrease in Freudlich adsorption capacity value (K) but also as an increase in Freudlich exponenent value (1/n).

CNT(carbon nanotube) humidity sensors with plasma treated electrodes exhibit a much faster response time and a higher sensitivity to humidity, compared to untreated CNT and porous Cr electrodes. These results may be partially due to their percolated pore structure being more accessible for water molecules and for expending the diffusion of moisture to the polyimide sensing film, and partially due to the oxygenated surface of CNT films. This paper shows a plasma process effect and selectivity characteristics of CNT film humidity sensor.

This paper deals with residual stress characteristics of ion-nitrided metal which is primarilly concerned with the effects of added carbon content in gas atmosphere. A small optimal amount of carbon content in gas atmosphere increase compound layer thickness, as well as to increase diffusion layer thickness and hardness. The residual stress and deflection of the specimens was measured in various elevated temperature at the surface of ion-nitrided metal and the internal stress distribution was calculated. It is found that compressive residual stress at the compound layer is largest at the compound layer, and decreases as the depth from the surface increases.

Adsorption process using granular activated carbon(GAC) has been considered as one of the most effective water treatment technologies to remove humic acid which is recon- niEed as trihalomethane(THM) precursor in chlorination. To design the most effective GAC process, it is necessary to conduct the test of adsor- ption performance by means of isothem, batch rate and column studies and to select the most effective activated carbon according to raw materials of GAC - lignite and coconut shell. The objective of this study is to investigate the adsorption performance of humid acid on two activated carbons - lignite activated carbon(LAC) and coconut shell activated car- bon(CAC) made in Korea. It is available to represent UV-abs and trihalomethane formation potential(THMFP) as concentration of humic acid due to good relationship. The adsorption capacity of humid acid is not concerned with surface area of activated carbon but with pore size related to about $100{\AA}$, and then LAC forming at the extent of mesopore is found to be eight times more effective in adsorption capacity than CAC forming at micropore. The adsorption capacity of LAC and CAC is better at pH 5.5 than at pH 7. Pore and surface diffusion coefficients calculated from the diffusion model are $7.61\times10^{-13}m^2/sec$, $3.52\times10^{-15}m^2/sec$ for CAC, and $3.38\times10^{-12}m^2$/sec and $Ds=1.48{\times}10^{-15}m^2/sec$ for GAC respectively. From the results of column test it shows that the performance of LAC is also better than CAC and the optimal EBCT(Empty Bed Contact Time) is 4.52min. and activated carbon removes selectively the components of humic acid to be easily formed to THM.

활성탄에 의한 Acid black(AB)과 Quinoline yellow(QY)의 등온흡착과 속도실험을 염료의 초기농도, 접촉 시간, 온도 및 pH를 흡착변수로 수행하여 등온흡착과 동력학적, 열역학적 파라미터에 대해 조사하였다. 흡착평형자료는 Freundlich 등온흡착식에 잘 맞았으며, 계산된 Freundlich 분리계수 값으로부터 활성탄이 AB와 QY를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있다는 것을 알았다. 속도실험 데이터는 흡착공정은 유사 이차 반응속도식이 오차율 10% 이내로 잘 맞았다. 입자 내 확산식에 대한 결과는 두단계의 직선으로 구분되었다. 입자내 확산을 나타내는 두 번째 직선의 기울기가 경계층 확산의 기울기보다 작아서 입자 내 확산이 속도지배단계인 것을 확인하였다. 열역학 실험으로부터 AB와 QY의 활성화 에너지는 각각 19.87 kJ mol^-1, 14.17 kJ mol^-1였고 물리흡착공정(5 ~ 40 kJ mol^-1)에 해당하였다. 활성탄에 의한 AB와 QY의 흡착반응의 자유에너지 변화는 298 ~ 318 K 범위에서 모두 음의 수치를 나타냈기 때문에 흡착반응이 자발적이었으며 온도가 증가할수록 자유에너지 값이 감소하였기 때문에 자발성이 더 높아졌다. pH 변화실험 결과, 활성탄에 의한 AB와 QY는 해리하여 발생한 음이온의 영향으로 pH 3에서 가장 높은 흡착제거율을 나타냈으며, 흡착메카니즘은 정전기적 인력이었다.

입상 활성탄(GAC)에 대한 Acid Fuchsin (AF)의 흡착을 염료의 초기농도, 접촉 시간, 온도 및 pH 를 흡착변수로 실험하여 등온흡착과 동력학적, 열역학적 파라미터에 대해 조사하였다. pH 변화실험에서 활성탄에 대한 AF의 흡착은 pH 3과 11에서 모두 흡착이 증가하는 욕조형을 나타냈다. AF의 흡착평형자료는 Freundlich 등온식에 잘 맞았으며, 계산된 분리계수(1/n) 값으로부터 활성탄이 AF를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있다는 것을 알았다. 흡착공정은 유사 이차 반응속도식이 오차율 7.88% 이내로 잘 맞았다. Weber와 Morris 모델의 Polt에 따르면 두 단계의 직선으로 구분되었다. stage 2 (입자내 확산)의 기울기가 stage 1 (경계층 확산)의 기울기 보다 작아서 입자내 확산속도가 느렸다. 따라서 입자 내 확산이 속도지배단계인 것을 확인하였다. AF의 활성화 에너지(13.00 kJ mol-1)는 물리흡착공정(5 ~ 40 kJ mol-1)에 해당하였다. 활성탄에 의한 AF 흡착의 자유에너지 변화는 298 ~ 318 K에서 모두 음의 수치를 나타냈으며, 온도가 증가할수록 자발성이 더 높아졌다. AF 흡착은 흡열반응(ΔH = 22.65 kJ mol-1)으로 나타났다.
