실록산은 유기규소화합물로서 혐기성소화조에서 생산되는 바이오가스로 휘발되며, 이러한 실록산은 바이오가스로 이용되는 가스 연소 엔진 고장의 원인이 된다. 따라서, 바이오가스 내의 실록산을 저감시킬 수 있는 방안이 필요하며 우선적으로 실록산의 발생특성에 대한 조사가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구는 음식물류폐기물폐수의 혐기성소화조에서 발생되는 바이오가스에 함유되어 있는 실록산의 농도 특성을 조사하였다. 총 실록산의 농도는 평균적으로 $9.5mg\;siloxane/m^3$로 나타났으며, 고리 구조 D4의 실록산 농도는 $4.0mg\;siloxane/m^3$로 가장 높게 나타났다. 고리구조 및 선형구조 실록산의 농도는 각각 D4>D5>D6 및 L4>L3>L5>L2의 순서로 나타났다. 1월 2월 및 3월의 실록산 농도 측정 결과에서 1월의 총 실록산 농도가 가장 낮게 나타났으며, 3월의 총 실록산 농도가 가장 높게 나타났다.

Graphene, an allotrope of carbon, is a two-dimensional material having a unique electro-mechanical property that shows significant change of the electrical conductance under the applied strain. In addition of the extraordinary mechanical strength [1], graphene becomes a prospective candidate for pressure sensor technology [2]. However, very few investigations have been carried out to demonstrate characteristics of graphene sensor as a device form. In this study, we demonstrate a pressure sensor using graphene double layer as an active channel to generate electrical signal as the response of the applied vertical pressure. For formation of the active channel in the pressure sensor, two single graphene layers which are grown on Cu foil (25 um thickness) by the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) are sequentially transformed to the poly-di-methyl-siloxane (PDMS) substrate. Dry and wet transfer methods are individually employed for formation of the double layer graphene. This sensor geometry results a switching characteristic which shows ~900% conductivity change in response to the application of pulsed pressure of 5 kPa whose on and off duration is 3 sec. Additionally, the functional reliability of the sensor confirms consistent behavior with a 200-cycle test.

Membrane distillation (MD) has emerged as a sustainable desalination technology to solve the water and energy problems faced by the modern society. In particular, the surface wetting properties of the membrane have been recognized as a key parameter to determine the performance of the MD system. In this study, a novel surface modification technique was developed to induce a Janus-type hydrophilic/hydrophobic layer on the membrane surface. The hydrophilic layer was created on a porous PVDF membrane by vapor phase polymerization of the pyrrole monomer, forming a thin coating of polypyrrole on the membrane walls. A rigid polymeric coating layer was created without compromising the membrane porosity. The hydrophilic coating was then followed by the in-situ growth of siloxane nanoparticles, where the condensation of organosilane provided quick loading of hydrophobic layers on the membrane surface. The composite layers of dual coatings allowed systematic control of the surface wettability of porous membranes. By the virtue of the photothermal property of the hydrophilic polypyrrole layer, the desalination performance of the coated membrane was tested in a solar MD system. The wetting properties of the dual-layer were further evaluated in a direct-contact MD module, exploring the potential of the Janus membrane structure for effective and low-energy desalination.
