Percolation is the important process of extracting the soluble constituents of a fine mesh, porous substance by passage of a liquid through it. In this study, bio-wastes were percolated under various conditions through continuous percolation processes, and the energy potential of percolate was evaluated. The representative bio-wastes from the K composting plant in Darmstadt, Germany were used as the sample for percolation. The central objective of this study was to determine the optimal amount of process water and the optimum duration of percolation through the bio-wastes. For economic reasons, the retention time of the percolation medium should be as long as necessary and as short as possible. For the percolation of the bio-wastes, the optimal percolation time was 2 hr and maximum percolation time was 4 hr. After 2 hr, more than two-thirds of the organic substances from the input material were percolated. In the first percolation process, the highest yields of organic substance were achieved. The best percolation of the bio-wastes was achieved when the process water of 2 L for the first percolation procedure and then the process water of 1.5 L for each further percolation procedure for a total 8 L for all five procedures were used on 1,000 g fresh bio-waste. The gas formation potentials of 0.83 and $0.96Nm^3/ton$ fresh matter (FM) were obtained based on the percolate from 1 hr percolation of 1,000 g bio-waste with the process water of 2 L according to the measurement of the gas formation in 21 days (GB21). This method can potentially contribute to reducing fossil fuel consumption and thus combating climate change.

Conductive polymer composites (CPCs) consist of a polymeric matrix and a conductive filler, for example, carbon black, carbon fibers, graphite or carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The critical amount of the electrically conductive filler necessary to build up a continuous conductive network, and accordingly, to make the material conductive; is referred to as the percolation threshold. From technical and economical viewpoints, it is desirable to decrease the conductive-filler percolation-threshold as much as possible. In this study, we investigated the effect of polymer/conductive-filler interactions, as well as the processing and morphological development of low-percolation-threshold (${\Phi}c$) conductive-polymer composites. The aim of the study was to produce conductive composites containing less multi-walled CNTs (MWCNTs) than required for pure polypropylene (PP) through two approaches: one using various mixing methods and the other using immiscible polymer blends. Variants of the conductive PP composite filled with MWCNT was prepared by dry mixing, melt mixing, mechanofusion, and compression molding. The percolation threshold (${\Phi}c$) of the MWCNT-PP composites was most successfully lowered using the mechanofusion process than with any other mixing method (2-5 wt%). The mechanofusion process was found to enhance formation of a percolation network structure, and to ensure a more uniform state of dispersion in the CPCs. The immiscible-polymer blends were prepared by melt mixing (internal mixer) poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF, PP/PVDF, volume ratio 1:1) filled with MWCNT.

This study aimed to evaluate the nutrient load balance from rice paddy fields with different topographies, alluvial plain and local valley. Continuous monitoring from May to September, 2013 was conducted for water quantification and qualification from alluvial plain in Yeoju region (32 ha) and local valley in Jincheon region (24 ha). The discharge rates of T-N from the alluvial plain were 57.2, 5.84, 22.7, and $5.20kg\;ha^{-1}$ for irrigation, precipitation, drainage, and percolation, respectively. In case of local valley, T-N loads were 34.6, 4.73, 21.1, and $4.15kg\;ha^{-1}$ for irrigation, precipitation, drainage, and percolation, respectively. In contrary, the T-P loads from the alluvial plain were 2.23, 2.22, 2.54, and $0.41kg\;ha^{-1}$ for irrigation, precipitation, drainage, and percolation, respectively. In case of local valley, T-P loads were 1.44, 1.57, 1.82, and $0.34kg\;ha^{-1}$ for irrigation, precipitation, drainage, and percolation, respectively. The nutrient contents in drainage water were influenced by the amount of waters, rainfall, and surface drainage water. The Pearson correlation analysis showed that rainfall was significantly correlated with nutrient loads from July to August due to the amount of runoff in local valley paddy field, and irrigation was related with nutrient loads of drainage from July to August. This study showed that paddy rice farming in alluvial plain and local valley might be beneficial to water quality protection.

A generalized fractional diffusion equation (FDE) is presented, which describes the time-evolution of the spatial distribution of a particle performing continuous time random walk (CTRW) on a fractal lattice. For a case corresponding to the CTRW with waiting time distribution that behaves as $\psi(t) \sim (t) ^{-(\alpha+1)}$, the FDE is solved to give analytic expressions for the Green’s function and the mean squared displacement (MSD). In agreement with the previous work of Blumen et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 1984, 53, 1301], the time-dependence of MSD is found to be given as < $r^2(t)$ > ~ $t ^{2\alpha/dw}$, where $d_w$ is the walk dimension of the given fractal. A Monte-Carlo simulation is also performed to evaluate the range of applicability of the proposed FDE.

전도성고분자 polyaniline(PANI)의 구조 변화없이 전기전도도를 띠면서 가공성과 기계적 특성을 증가시키는 연구를 수행하였다. 기능성 산으로 도핑된 PANI-DBSA는 유화 중합하였고, dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid(DBSA)는 계면활성제와 도펀트 역할을 동시에 하도록 하였다. 이어서 PANI-DBSA를 high impact polystyrene(HIPS)와 용액 캐스팅하여 블렌드 필름을 제조하였다. UV-vis, FTIR/ATR 분광법으로 블렌드 구조와 전기적 특성을 확인하였다. PANI-DBSA/HIPS 블렌드에 관한 연구는 분산성과 모폴로지 변화에 따른 기계적인 특성과 전기적 특성 확인에 중점을 두고 진행하였다. 전기전도도는 PANI-DBSA 함량 증가에 따라 상승하였고, 9 wt% 정도로 낮은 함량에서도 $3.5{\times}10^{-4}$ S/cm로 급격하게 상승하였다. 전도성고분자 블렌드에서 연속적인 고분자 망상구조 형성이 percolation과 전기전도도에 밀접한 연관성이 있었다.

주요(主要) 석회물질(石灰物質)이 해성염토(海成鹽土)의 제염(除鹽)에 주는 효과(效果)를 밝히기 위(爲)하여 염토(鹽土)가 함유(含有)하는 Na + Mg와 당량(當量)의 Ca를 탄산(炭酸)칼슘, 수산화(水酸化)칼슘, 규산(珪酸)칼슘 또는 석고(石膏)로 시용(施用)하여 유리원통시험(圓筒試驗)을 실시(實施)하였다. 최상층(最上層) 1/10염토(鹽土)에 석회물질(石灰物質) 반량(半量)을 혼합(混合)하고 남은 반량(半量)을 표면(表面)에 덮은 후 (後) 증류수(蒸溜水)를 주가(注加)하면서 연속적(連續的)으로 3차에 걸쳐 여과수(濾過水)를 받아 세척(洗滌)한 층별토양(層別土壤)과 함께 분석(分析)하였는 바 그 결과(結果)는 아래와 같다. 1. $CaSO_4$는 투수(透水)와 제염(除鹽)(Na)을 용역(容易)하게 하였으나 Mg를 하층(下層)에 집적(集積)시켰다. 2. $Ca(OH)_2$, $CaCO_3$, $CaCO_3$는 표층(表層)에 Mg를 침전(沈澱)시키고, 하위층(下位層)에서 Mg를 세탈(洗脫)하였는데, 특(特)히 표층직하(表層直下)에서 더 세탈(洗脫)하였다. 이 세탈(洗脫)은 $Ca(OH)_2$처리(處理)에서 가장 현저(顯著)했고, $CaSiO_2$, $CaCO_3$의 순서(順序)로 약(弱)해졌다. 3. 치환성(置換性) Na의 해리(解離)에 더한 석회(石灰)의 알칼리성(性)은 토양(土壤)의 pH를 높였으며, 투수속도(透水速度)를 낮추고 Na의 제염(除鹽)을 저해(沮害)하였다. 이 영향(影響)은 $Ca(OH)_2$처리(處理)에서 더 컸다. 4. 세탈(洗脫)된 토양(土壤)의 pH는 치환성(置換性) Na 및 Mg와 다음 회부관계(回復關係)를 보였다. $$pH=7.77+0.489Na/\sqrt{Mg}\;r=0.845^{**}$$.
