Photocatalytic water splitting into $H_2$ and $O_2$ using semiconductors has received much attention, especially for its potential application to direct production of $H_2$ for clean energy from water utilizing solar light energy. Since the report of Fujishima and Honda on the water splitting by photoelectrochemical cells, numerous different semiconducting materials have been used as photocatalysts for hydrogen generation from water. Among them, platinized titania significantly accelerates hydrogen production from water. For geometrical improvement of $TiO_2$ particle, porous $TiO_2$ structure was proposed and studied such as nanofiber, nanorod and nototubes. This research focuses on finding out the optimum temperature and electrolyte to produce $H_2$ by solar water splitting.

The more the population grow, the severer the shortage of a basic human needs such as food, clean water, energy resources and so on. We had proved the possibility of utilizing deep ocean water as a environmental friendly resource to solve comprehensively above-mentioned problems for mankind based on observation and analysis of water quality. This study aims to evaluate feasibility of deep ocean water application, and establish multipurpose development and cascade utilization system of deep ocean water in the coastal zone of East sea to promote ocean development and fisheries industries.

Can industry has grown up with growth of packing industry and its recycling activation in recent years. But profit has became low by oversupply. Therefore, can industry needs a reduction of environmental load and official loss by an optimization of process in order to maintain its competitiveness. In this study, the main issues of aluminium can production was investigated by life cycle assessment. As a result of LCA, it examined closely by main issues that reduce defective cans and remove tramp oil. In the present work, it was recommended that setup of R/O system, sterillizing tramp oil separation, and heating system of DI water. The ROI investigated 6.4 months. The operating cost with the advanced processes could be reduced annually by 300 million won.

Oil spills caused by the accidents have been occurred from house and factory waste, grounded tanker, the rupture of storage tank and oil pipelines, the deterioration of various industrial facilities, etc. Many oil spills result in contamination of shorelines and workplace. Fire and explosion may happen from these spills. There are several technologies used for clean-up application, which include use of oil dispersing agents, absorbents, solidifiers, booms and skimmers by physical, chemical, and biological methods. Methods for oil spill clean-up operation are classified into the absorption type, gel type and self-swelling type. Porous materials with oil absorptive properties are classified into micropore, mesopore, and macropore depending on their pore sizes. Recently, new porous materials with smaller size have been developed, but the selective oil absorption in water-in-oil interface demonstrates the macro pore size. In this study oil absorption effects were evaluated using the organic porous materials with a complex function of gel type and swelling type. Samples were subjected to analysis by FT-IR spectroscopy and were characterized in terms of gel formation and morphologies. Oil sorption capacity, pressure retention force and gel strength were also measured. From these results, the physicochemical reactivity before and after gelation was verified and the industrial applications of clean-up operation were suggested.

금속산화물의 열화학싸이클에 의한 수소생산 소재중 안정성이 우수하고 물분해 수소생산능이 비교적 우수한 $NiFe_2O_4$를 합성하여 열화학수소생산공정 적용시 최적화의 조건에 대하여 검토하였다. 합성한 $NiFe_2O_4$는 격자상수가 $8.34\;{\AA}$이었고, 뫼스바우어에 의해 구조는 Ni이 페라이트 구조인 $AB_2O$의 B위치에 주로 위치하는, A 및 B의 상대적 흡수강도가 57.9:42.1인 역스피넬구조를 보이고 있다. 이러한 구조의 $NiFe_2O_4$의 열적환원은 $610^{\circ}C$부터 시작하여 $1200^{\circ}C$에 이르는 동안 약 1.1 wt%의 무게감소가 관찰된다. 물에 의한 산화과정에서 수소가 발생하게 되는데, $1200^{\circ}C$이하의 환원온도에서 가능한 수소생산량은 약 $0.45\;cm^3/g{\codt}cycle$ 이었다. 산화 환원의 반복과정에서 $NiFe_2O_4$의 XRD에 의한 구조변화는 관찰되지 않아 매우 안정한 구조를 갖는다는 것을 보여주었다. 수소생산을 위한 무게당 싸이클당 수소생산양은 산화 환원과정의 온도범위가 가장 중요하였고 물의 접촉시간은 중요한 요소가 되지 않았다. 열적 환원과정에서 많은 양의 수소생산성능을 보이기 위해서는 $1200^{\circ}C$이상의 고온을 필요로 하는 것을 보여주었다.

The leather was fixed with various colors through the dyeing process in leather manufacturing. During the dyeing process, the amount of 30~50% dyestuff which were not bonded with leather drained with waste water. These dyestuff raise lots of environmental problems, so technology for improving the fixing effect, levelling effect and penentration effect with the use of small amount of dyestuff has been required. Also, insufficient color fastness level 2~3 grade for common natural leather needs to be improved at the same time. Accordingly, the use of ultrasound(us) in dyeing process has decreased the amount of dyestuff and obtained the smooth permeability effect. So, we could find that the reduction of amount of dyestuff in wastewater led to decrease in environmental trouble caused by leather waste water with severe contamination degree and improved fastness up to 0.5 grades.

Since the operation period of nuclear power plants has increased, the degradation of buried pipes gradually increases and recently it seems to be one of the emerging issues. Maintenance on buried pipes needs high quality of management system because outer surface of buried pipe contacts the various soils but inner surface reacts with various electrolytes of fluid. In the USA, USNRC and EPRI have tried to manage the degradation of buried pipes. However, there is little knowledge about the inspection procedure, test and manage program in the domestic nuclear power plants. This paper focuses on the development and build-up of real-time monitoring and control system of buried pipes. Pipes to be tested are tape-coated carbon steel pipe for primary component cooling water system, asphalt-coated cast iron pipe for fire protection system, and pre-stressed concrete cylinder pipe for sea water cooling system. A control system for cathodic protection was installed on each test pipe which has been monitored and controlled. For the calculation of protection range and optimization, computer simulation was performed using COMSOL Multiphysics (Altsoft co.).
