The function exp$(x^2)$erfc(x), which is often encountered in studies of electrode kinetics, is evaluated to an extended precision with 32 significant decimal digits in order to find theoretical relationships used in derivative polarography/voltammetry for a chemically-coupled electrode process. Computations with a lower precision are not successful. Evaluation of the function is accomplished by using three types of expansions for the function. Best ranges of arguments are selected for each equation for particular precisions for efficiencies. The method is successfully applied to calculate higher-order derivatives of the current-potential curves in all potential ranges for a reversible electron transfer reaction coupled with a prior chemical equilibrium (i.e., a CE type process). Various parameters that characterize the peak asymmetry (such as ratios of peak-heights, ratios of half-peak-widths, and separations in peak-potentials) are analyzed to find how kinetic and thermodynamic parameters influence shapes of the derivatives. The results from the CE process is compared with those from an EC process in which a reversible electron transfer is coupled with a follow-up homogeneous chemical reaction. The two processes exibit quite contrasting differences for values of the parameters.

We suggest a systematic method for obtaining the optimal compression ratio in the multi-stage closed-loop compression process of carbon dioxide. Instead of adopting the compression ratio of 3 to 4 by convention, we propose a novel approach based on mathematical analysis and simulation. The mathematical analysis prescribes that the geometric mean is a better initial value than the existing empirical value in identifying the optimal compression ratio. In addition, the optimization problem considers the initial installation cost as well as the energy required for the operation. We find that it is best to use the fifth stage in the general closed-loop type carbon dioxide multi-stage compression process.

The azeotrope of methyl acetate methanol and water was isolated using extractive distillation with water as entrainer. The pressure-swing extractive distillation (PSED) process and vapor side-stream distillation column (VSDC) with the rectifier process were designed to separate the methyl acetate, methanol and water mixture. It was revealed that the VSDC with the rectifier process had a reduction in energy consumption than the PSED process. Four control schemes of the two process were investigated: Double temperature control scheme (CS1), $Q_R/F$ feedforward control of reboiler duty scheme for PESD (CS2), $Q_R/F$ feedback control scheme for VSDC (CS3), the feedback control scheme of sensitive plate temperature of side-drawing distillation column to dominate the compressor shaft speed (CS4). Feed flow and composition disturbance were used to evaluate the dynamic performance. As a result, CS4 is a preferable choice for separation of methyl acetate-methanol-water mixture. A control scheme combining the operating parameters of dynamic equipment with the control indicators of static equipment was proposed in this paper. It means using the sensitive plate temperature of side-drawing column to control the compressor shaft speed. This is a new control scheme for extractive distillation.

We have demonstrated the use of MWCNT as a nanoscale probe to monitor the activity of enzyme kinase. To immobilize the substrate peptide using carbodiimide chemistry, plasma or strong acid treatments were used to induce carboxyl groups on the sidewall of MWCNTs. After the susbtrate peptide immobilization, increase of conductance from MWCNT devices was observed. When peptide modified MWCNTs react with enzyme kinase, conductance decreases by several orders of magnitude, and this conductance change can be explained by the phosphorylation reaction of enzyme kinase. When the sample was incubated with phosphatase to dephosphorylate the substrate peptide, nearly complete recovery of the conductance signal has been observed. 4 for 6 devices appeared the same trends. So, we can confirm that we have monitored the kinase activity on the MWCNT surface by electrical detection.

열화학적인 수소 생산 공정 중 하나인 S-I Cycle은 요오드와 황을 이용한 수소 생산 공정으로써 물 분자로부터 수소 분자를 얻어내는 순환 공정이다. 수소 생산 공정에 열을 공급하고자 하는 초고온 원자로(VHTR; Very High Temperature Reactor)는 원자로에서 수소 생산 공정으로 방사능 없이 안전하게 열을 전달하기 위하여 중간열교환기(IHX; Intermediate Heat Exchanger)가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 수소 생산공정과 초고온 원자로간의 중간 열교환 공정을 모사하여 운전압력 및 작동 유체의 변화에 따른 중간 열교환기의 효율을 계산하고 가장 경제적인 중간 열교환기를 설계하기 위한 공정 조건을 도출하였다.

모노에탄올아민(MEA)으로 대표되는 습식 아민을 이용한 이산화탄소 포집 공정은 기술적 신뢰도가 높아 초기 CCS(Carbon Capture & Storage) 시장을 주도할 것으로 전망된다. 다만 흡수제 재생에 에너지 소비가 많은 점이 단점으로 지적 받고 있어 흡수제 재생 에너지 절감을 위한 다양한 공정 개선안이 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 MEA 공정에서 흡수탑으로 유입되는 배가스를 분할 유입하는 공정 개선안을 제안 하고 시뮬레이터를 이용한 공정모사를 통하여 그 효과를 보였다. 배가스를 분할 유입한 결과 흡수탑 하단부에서 냉각효과가 있었고 이로 인해 흡수제 유량이 감소하였다. 배가스 분할 비와 분할 유입 단 높이를 변경하며 최적 분할 조건을 찾았으며 이때 흡수제 유량은 6.4%, 재생 에너지는 5.8% 감소하였다.

한국에서는 석유화학 산업의 역사가 30년 이상이 되어 시설이 노후화되기 시작하여 잠재적인 사고의 위험 가능성이 높아지고 있다. 지금까지의 석유화학 산업에서의 전통적인 위험성 평가와 시스템의 제어는 기계적인 결함에만 중점을 두었기 때문에 인간의 행동을 제어하는 것은 간과하여 왔다. 자동화 기술과 제어기술의 발전도 필요하지만 인간의 의사 결정 요소가 석유화학산업에서 사고를 예방하는데 필수적이다. 거의 모든 심각한 사고는 인간 행동과 안전 장비의 기계적인 결함이 동시에 부적당할 때 발생한다. 진보적인 인간의 신뢰성 분석 소프트웨어는 실패 데이터를 수집하고, 한국의 화학 산업에서 인간의 오류 확률을 분석하기 위해 개발되었다. 이 논문에서는 Root cause Analysis를 통한 결과와 PIF(Performance Influencing Factor) 평가 결과를 보여준다.

In order to utilize unsorted ONP, which contains leaflets (printed coated papers), to produce pulp mold, optimum conditions for a repulping process were investigated with a laboratory high consistency pulper. It was concluded that medium or high consistency pulping is necessary to accelerate the rate of deflaking of unsorted ONP. Considering flake content, fines content and pulping energy, the optimum conditions for the laboratory Helico pulper were 11% of repulping concentration and 3 min of repulping time. The repulping temperature shall be at least $30^{\circ}C$. Aging of paper slows down the rate of de flaking but in an actual pulp molding process its effect could be negligible.
