Objectives : Electroacupuncture is widely used because of its diverse curative influence. However, its electrical safety is not guaranteed when applied on the human body. Therefore, in this study, we did research on the corrosiveness of electroacupuncture when applied on the body fluid. Methods : We did research using acupuncture needles which were made of STS304 or STS316 and which were coated or not coated in silicone. They were 0.25 mm in diameter and 40 mm in length. We immersed them to the depth of about 1cm in Hank's Solution and gave a stimulus in 120 Hz for 60 minutes. Then, we measured the pH of Hank's solution and mass of needles and observed their shape. Results : Acupuncture needles which were made of STS304 corroded more easily than those which were made of STS316 when they were applied on the human body. Acupuncture needles which were coated in silicone corroded much more easily than those which were not coated in silicone when they were applied on the body fluid. Conclusions : In this study, we did research on the corrosiveness of electroacupuncture when it is applied on the body fluid using several acupuncture needles. We made a conclusion that when acupuncture needles were applied on the body fluid, the coated one made of STS304 corrodes more easily than the uncoated one made of STS316. We hope that additional further researches on the effect of the corrosiveness of an acupuncture needle will be carried out.

국내 수질의 부식성을 파악하기 위해 RTW 모델과 LPLWIN 모델을 이용하여 탄산칼슘포화지수를 포함한 다양한 지수를 산정하는 절차를 연구하였다. RTW 모델을 이용하여 LI, RI, AI 를 산정할 수 있었고, LPLWIN 모델을 이용하여 LI, LR, CCPP를 산정하였다. 한강 수계와 낙동강 수계를 취수원으로 하는 수돗물 자료를 적용하여 지수값에 근거하여 부식성 여부를 판단하였다. 산정결과에 의하면, 낙동강 수계는 한강수계보다 부식성이 양호한 수질인 것으로 나타났다. 겨울철이 여름철에 비하여 부식성이 큰 것으로 나타나, 온도가 증가할수록 부식성은 감소하는 것으로 조사되었다.

Langelier Index (LI) is used as a tap water corrosiveness index. Residual chlorine in tap water induces corrosion inside water pipes. This study takes a deeper look into the effect of residual chlorine in water pipes. Comparison between tap waters of Y and K water treatment plant (WTP) shows that the LI index of K WTP is lower than that of Y. However, the corrosion rate of Y WTP is higher than that of K WTP. This means that the higher the concentration of residual chlorine in tap water, the higher the corrosion rate of pipe materials. When calcium hydroxide was added to tap water, the corrosiveness index was improved and thus the corrosion rate reduced. It is possible to increase the disinfection efficiency by increasing the duration of residual chlorine and suppressing the rust generation of water pipes and to supply minerals. A guideline for corrosion control with residual chlorine should be set up. The effects of residual chlorine should be included in the corrosiveness index of tap water.

This study shows the optimum attachment of Two-Way Shape Memory Alloy (TWSMA) springs onto thermal liner and its sewing method for the mass production of fire fighter's intelligent turnout gear. SMA springs were attached to the fabric by four different methods and stitched by two different shapes (square and wave). The durability of the attached springs was tested by laundering up to 50 cycles. Examined were whether the springs would remain attached to the fabric after repeated laundering, the shape memory effect and reaction of the springs, and the anti-corrosiveness of the springs. A Human-Clothing-Environment simulator evaluated thermal insulation according to attachment methods, air layer volume, and stitch types. The findings showed that silicon attached springs remained intact after repeated laundering; in addition, repeated laundering did not influence the responsiveness and anti-corrosiveness of SMAs. Air volume had positive relations with the insulation. Attachment methods or stitch methods had limited impact on the thermal insulation. As a result, a wave type stitch with silicone attachment was suggested as the optimum method to attach the SMA springs onto the intelligent turnout gear for fire fighters.

Corrosion of metallic materials occurs by the reaction with corrosive environment. In general, corrosive environments are classified as atmospheric, marine, soil etc. and regardless of any corrosive environments, reduction of thickness and cracking and degradation are induced by corrosion. Among several corrosive environments, knowing the atmospheric corrosiveness of a region, city, or country is considered of ultimate importance for major industrialists and investors who require knowledge of the corrosive impact of the atmosphere on everyday materials such as carbon steel, weathering steel, zinc, copper, and aluminium. This is why the atmospheric corrosiveness map is needed. This paper dealt with corrosion properties between several waters in the region and carbon steel, weathering steel, galvanized steel, pure copper, and pure aluminium at the representative rural area of Korea - Andong.

탄산칼슘 포화지수(LI: Langelier Index)는 탄산칼슘의 포화정도로서 수돗물의 부식성을 나타내며 수도관 부식방지를 위해 미국, 유럽, 일본 등은 수도법에 의해 관리되고 있지만 국내는 아직 도입되지 않았다. 본 연구는 LI의 국내 도입 타당성을 검토하기 위해 LI인자(5개항목: 수온, pH, 총알칼리도, 칼슘이온, 전기전도도)들을 측정하고 LI값을 산출하였다. 수온은 연간 $2.0{\sim}26^{\circ}C$, 연평균 $23.9^{\circ}C$로 나타났다. 총알칼리도는 30 mg/L (as $CaCO_3$)로 나타났으며, 총알칼리도를 $HCO_3{^-}$ 농도 값으로 대체가능성을 검토한 결과 농도 차가 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. LI값은 2.0~-0.5로 나타나 부식성을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 수돗물 부식성을 감소시키기 위해 정수장에서 $Ca(OH)_2$, $CaCO_3$, NaOH, $NaHCO_3$ 등을 투입할 필요가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

최근 수질오염의 악화로 고도정수처리시설에 대한 수요가 커지고 있으며, 오존처리와 같은 밀폐형 고도정수처리시설의 설치가 늘고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 오존의 강력한 산화작용으로 인해 콘크리트 구조물의 침식이 우려됨에 따라 오존에 대응 가능한 에폭시 방수방식재가 콘크리트 표층부 보호 코팅재로 적용되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 에폭시가 오존에 대한 성능수준 및 장기적 내구성을 명확히 측정할 방법과 기준이 없어 정확한 품질관리가 이루어지지 않고 있는 실정이며, 이로 인해 수처리용 콘크리트 구조물의 장기내구성 확보에 대한 우려가 제기되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 AFM과 나노인덴테이션 기법이 기존에 사용하던 평가방법인 육안관찰, 중량변화, 표면관찰, 색차분석 등의 간접적 평가방법과 함께 에폭시 방수방식재 평가방법으로써의 적합한지를 판단하고자 하였으며, 이를 위해 오존용으로 개발된 6종의 다른 성분으로 구성된 에폭시계 방수방식재를 대상으로 열화특성을 분석하였다. 연구결과 AFM과 나노인덴테이션을 활용할 경우 기존 평가방법보다 직접적이고 정량적인 평가가 가능함을 확인하였으며, 일부 에폭시 코팅재료의 경우 오존에 대한 성능 한계치 (임계치)를 명확히 확인할 수 있었다.

In order to prevent secondary pollution of tap water, corrosion characteristics are investigated, and corrosion index are calculated using LI and LR to manage corrosiveness. As targeted water treatment plants from 2014 (July, once) to 2015 (July and October, 2 times), 70 plants are selected by making a division for each area and water system. (treated water samples, n=240, raw water samples, n=72). In result of pH analysis, treated water was lower than raw water to 7.12, and 7.29, respectively. LI were investigated in the order of Seomjin river, Nakdong river, Han river, Geum river, to -2.08, -1.24, -1.11, -1.10 (at raw water), and -2.18, -1.59, -1.51, -1.35 (at treated water), respectively. In case of water quality goal value (LI = -1) in Japan as control of corrosiveness, management object was investigated about 83.3%.

To maintain water quality after water treatment, monitoring whether the quality of treated tap water quality changes is essential. However, current investigations are insufficient to prevent secondary contamination in drinking water supply systems. This study investigated Gyeonggi's e apartment where a red water problem occurred and monitored the water quality and corrosiveness of the overall water supply system to the apartment from June 2021 to April 2022. In a comparison of drinking water quality after water treatment and the influent of the reservoir, turbidity and heavy metal concentrations were increased and residual chlorine was decreased due to increases in temperature. Correlation analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that a low level of residual chlorine may cause the abscission of Mn²⁺ and Fe²⁺ through microorganism activation, which also causes a high level of turbidity. The corrosion index (LI) in the influent of the reservoir tank was increased due to Ca²⁺ and temperature. These results indicate that the corrosiveness of drinking water and the deterioration of drinking water quality were mainly increased between the drinking water treatment plant and the reservoir tank's influent. The findings provide clear evidence that it is essential to manage water supply systems and reservoir tanks to prevent the secondary contamination of drinking water.
