In this paper, a robot automation methodology for chemical drum assembly in semiconductor industries are presented. Robot automation is essential to resolve safety issues in which operators are directly or indirectly exposed to chemicals or fumes in assembling dispense heads on chemical drums. However, the chemical drum assembling process involves complex and difficult tasks, such as mating male/female keycodes and fastening screws with large-diameter, which may be very difficult to be performed by a single-arm robot with a commercial rigid F/T sensor. In order to solve the problems, a method for assembling a chemical drum using dual-arm collaborative robot system, compliance F/T sensor, robot vision and gripper is presented.

A drum bioreactor was used for the treatment of sandy soil contaminated with three kinds of aromatic compounds (phenol, naphthalene, and phenanthrene), and its performance was evaluated in two different operation modes; intermittent and continuous rotation of drum. When the drum bioreactor was operated with one rotation per day, the microbial growth was relatively low, and most of the compounds remaining in soil, except naphthalene of 90 mg/kg dry soil, disappeared mainly due to volatilization. In contrast, when the drum was continuously rotated at 9 rpm (rotation/min), the number of microorganisms was drastically increased and nitrate was consumed for growth as a nitrogen source. Phenol and phenanthrene were removed at rates of 56.7 mg/kg dry soil/day and 3.2 mg/kg dry soil/day, respectively.

Automatic production systems are constantly advancing technologies to improve productivity and safety. Specifically, liquid filling machines are primarily utilized to package products into drums after manufacturing process in the hazardous chemical industry. Most existing filling machines allow the operator to open the drum cap and inject the product directly or semi-automation. In this study, we have developed a cap opening and closing mechanism onto the existing drum filling machine, enabling automatic and safe cap manipulation while filling the product in the IBC tank. By applying the appropriate torque value through numerical analysis, we confirmed that the system worked without any problems during the process of opening and closing the cap. Therefore, it is expected that the developed machine will give more production and reduce human efforts without risk in the chemical packaging industry.

A cone shape drum polisher was developed to make up for the demerits of conventional CMP apparatus. The developed equipment has several superiorities. First of all, it can achieve uniform velocity profile on all the contact line because of its shape and easy to control the amount of slurry at the position of use. The whole area of wafer surface is exposed to the visual area except the contact line between wafer and drum, hence we can detect polishing end point more easily than any other polishing equipments. Also it has additional merits such as small foot print and polishing load. Polishing characteristics were investigated by developed equipment.

The surface defects of an aluminum tube for an OPC drum have been analyzed using a scanning microscopy(SEM) and an energy dispersive X-ray analyze.(EDX). The SEM/EDX system, which may provide good information on the surface defects and their distributions, provides an optical diameter of an impurity and a chemical composition. These are strongly related on the coated film thickness and quality of an OPC drum, which is a key element of a toner cartridge for a laser printer. The experimental results show that the local deformations, scratch wear, and flaws are produce the non-uniform coating layers, which may be removed by a manufacturing process of an aluminum tube. The major parameters on the coating quality of an OPC drum are the impurities of an aluminum tube such as silicon, oxygen, calcium, carbon, sulphur, chlorine, and others. These impurities may be removed by an ingot molding, extrusion and drawing, quality control, and packing processes with a strict manufacturing technology.

순산소 전로 후드의 일산화탄소와 열회수를 위해서는 고효율의 증기를 발생시키는 증기드럼의 장착이 필요하다. 그러나 제선 제강공정에서 증기발생은 간헐적이거나 주기적인 산소 취입공정기간에 제한적이다. 따라서, 증기드럼은 전로의 주기에 따른 산소의 취련기간 동안 효율적으로 증기를 발생시키도록 최적 설계되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다양한 운전조건 및 기하학적 형상변화가 증기드럼 내의 열유동 특성과 성능에 미치는 효과를 예측할 수 있는 3차원 전산유체역학 모델을 제안하였다. 본 모델은 유체유동 및 열전달 뿐만 아니라 계면유동에서의 증발 및 응축을 유한체적법을 사용하여 고려하였다. 본 모델의 예측성능을 검증하기 위하여 실험에서 구한 증기발생량과 비교하였으며 3.2%의 상대오차를 보였다.

DME 및 LPG 혼합연료에 대한 혼합도 분석 실험을 수행하였다. DME 20 wt%와 LPG(주성분 프로판) 80 wt%를 탱크에 순차적으로 주입하여 시간 경과에 따라 탱크의 각 측정부에서의 농도를 측정하였다. 먼저 DME가 주입되고 그 후에 프로판이 주입되면서 DME의 일부는 혼합이 되나 일부는 혼합이 되지 않고 밀도차에 의해서 탱크 하부로 가라앉게 되는 층상화 현상이 발생하였다. 1일 경과 시 약 0.2~0.3 wt%의 증가비율로 두 연료가 혼합되어 완전히 균일하게 되기까지 약 500시간 이상이 소요되었다. 또한 재순환 펌프를 가동하여 탱크 내 연료를 순환 시킨 후 혼합 연료의 성분을 측정한 실험에서는 DME와 프로판이 균일하게 혼합됨을 확인하였다.

The stable and safe operation of a boiler system is essential for ensuring stability of the chemical processes. A dynamic simulation of a boiler drum was performed to identify the dynamics of the boiler drum. The obtained results represented that the variation of process variables disturb boiler system. So, disturbance rejection with tracking and constraints handing was necessary for stable operation of boiler drum. Among many controller, GPC has been known to show good performance in set point tracking than disturbance. In order to improve disturbance rejection performance measurable disturbance term was Introduced in basic GPC model. The controller which had tracking and disturbance rejection was designed for Improving the stable operation of a boiler system.

본 연구에서는 신 개념의 바이오필터 시스템인 RDBF를 이용하여 기상의 styrene을 제거하고자 하였다. 다양한 운전조건에서 시스템의 성능을 평가하고, 진공흡입을 통해 과다성장 미생물을 제어하고자 하였다. RDBF에서는 sheet 형태의 충진 담체를 사용하므로 영양원 및 공기의 균일한 공급이 가능하였고, 빠른 속도로 균일한 미생물 층을 담체 표면에 형성할 수 있었다. 또한 기-액 접촉면적을 증대 시켜 95% 이상의 안정적이고 높은 styrene 분해 효율과 $125g/m^3{\cdot}hr$의 높은 제거 용량을 가질 수 있게 해주었다. 하지만 우수한 성능은 미생물의 과다성장에 따른 기공의 폐쇄현상 때문에 오래 지속되지 않았고 반응기의 성능과 안정성은 급속히 저하되었다. 이를 해결하기 위해 진공흡입을 통한 미생물 제거를 시도하였으나 제한적인 효과만을 확인하였다. 향후 RDBF 반응기의 상업화를 위해서는 보다 효율적인 미생물 제어 방법이 개발될 필요가 있다.
