불용성 산화 전극은 전기화학적 수처리 공정에 있어 가장 핵심적인 소재이며, 이를 이용하여 난분해성 유기물질을 분해하는 방법으로 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 이러한 불용성 산화 전극 제조에 있어 금속 기판 표면에 코팅하는 금속 촉매의 종류, 코팅 방식, 소결 방법 등의 다양한 제조 변수가 불용성 산화 전극의 성능 및 내구성에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 Ir-Ru-Ta 삼원 금속 코팅을 활용하여 동일한 전 처리 및 소결 조건에서 코팅 방법에 따라 불용성 산화 전극을 제조하고 이의 성능과 내구성을 연구하였다. 코팅 방식은 브러쉬 및 스프레이 코팅법을 활용하였으며, 그 결과 최적화된 스프레이 코팅 조건에서 동일한 촉매 잉크양으로 더 많은 금속을 Ti 기판 표면에 코팅이 가능하여 촉매 잉크 저감이 가능한 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 전극 표면의 갈라짐 현상 및 삼원 금속의 균일한 도포에 의해 스프레이 코팅법으로 제조한 Spray_2.0_3.0 전극이 가장 높은 전기화학적 활성 비표면적을 보여주었으며, 4-chlorophenol의 분해 성능이 타 전극에 비해 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, 불용성 산화전극의 내구성은 전극의 코팅방법에 따라 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다.

Dimensionally stable anodes have been widely used to cathodically protect the metallic materials in corrosive environments including concrete structure as the insoluble anode. Lifespan of the anode for concrete construction can be determined by NACE TM0294-94 method. Lifespan of conductive oxide electrode would be affected by thermal treatment condition in the process of sol-gel coatings. This work aims to evaluate the effect of thermal treatment temperature on the lifespan of the $RuO_{2}$ electrode. $450^{\circ}C$ treated conductive oxide electrode showed the excellent properties and its lifespan was evaluated to be over 88 years in 3% NaCl, 4% NaOH, and simulated pore water. This behavior was related to the formation of $RuO_{2}$.

도시의 산업화와 인구의 빠른 증가로 인해, 지구상에서 여전히 7억 8천만명이 물자원 사용에 어려움을 격고 있으며, 이에 따라 깨끗하고 저렴한 물자원 확보 방안에 대한 관심이 집중되고 있다. 그러나, 현존하는 폐수처리 시스템은 낮은 공정효율, 높은 운영비용, 그리고 넓은 부지 요구 등의 다양한 이슈에 직면하여 있는 실정이다. 따라서, 저렴하고 효율적인 폐수 처리 시스템의 개발이 시급히 요구된다. 이러한 노력의 일환으로 rutile type $RuO_2$를 기반으로 한 DSA전극을 이용한 전기 화학적 방법에 기초한 폐수 처리 시스템을 제안하였고, 이를 성공적으로 시연하였다. 우리의 폐수 처리 시스템은 생활폐수의 경우, 생화학적 산소 요구량 (BOD), 화학적 산소 요구량 (COD) 및 총 유기탄소 (TOC) 제거 효율이 52.0 %, 77.8 % 및 65.6 % 로 우수한 특성을 보였다. 또한 축산 폐수의 경우, BOD, COD, 총 질소 (TN), 총 인 (TP)의 제거 효율이 각각 92.9 %, 75.6 %, 35.1 %, 100 %로 획기적인 감축 효과를 거두었습니다. 이 장치의 탁월한 제거 효율과 작은 크기를 고려할 때, rutile $RuO_2$로 코팅된 DSA를 사용한 전기화학적 폐수 처리는 생활 및 축산 폐수의 처리를 위한 유망한 방안이 될 수 있음을 제안하고자 합니다.

The separation of $TiO_2$ wastewater carried out by an electrocoagulation/flotation process, which had various operating parameters. The effect of electrode material (aluminum and four dimensionally stable electrode), applied current (0.07~0.5 A), electrolyte concentration (0~1 g/L), solution pH (3~11), initial turbidity (1000~20000 NTU) and suspended solid concentration (5000~25000 mg/L) were evaluated. Turbidity removal efficiency of the soluble anode (aluminum), which could produce metal ions, was higher than that of the dimensionally stable electrode. Considering operation time, turbidity removal and electric power, optimum current was 0.19 A. The more NaCl dosage was high, the less electric power was required. However, optimum NaCl concentration was 0.125 g/L considered removal efficiency, operation time and cost. Initial $TiO_2$ concentration did not affected turbidity removal on the electrocoagulation/flotation operation. The electrocoagulation/flotation process was proved to be a very effective separation method in the removal of $TiO_2$ from wastewater.

Redox Flow Battery용 고내구성 및 고효율 전극의 제조를 위해 DSA(Dimensionally Stable Anode)를 집전체 및 전극으로 사용하고 흑연 입자를 이용한 전극을 제조하여 DSA와 압연하는 방법으로 일체화 된 흑연/DSA 전극의 전기화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 1 M $VOSO_4$ + 5M $H_2SO_4$ 혼합용액과 2 M $VOSO_4$ + 2.5M $H_2SO_4$ 혼합된 용액의 전해액 시스템에서 Cyclic Voltammetry(CV) 방법을 이용하여 -0.7 V에서 1.6 V vs. SCE의 전위범위에서 전극의 특성을 실험한 결과, 높은 농도의 2M $VOSO_4$ 전해액에서도 바나듐 이온들의 redox couple 반응을 잘 나타내고 있으며 가역성도 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제조된 일체화된 흑연/DSA 전극을 redox flow battery에 적용할 경우에 고내구성, 내부식성 및 전지의 에너지밀도, 출력밀도와 에너지효율을 향상시킬 것으로 판단된다.

An innovative batch electrolytic system consisted of electrolytic basin, which was equipped with DSA(Dimensionally Stable Anode) type insoluble electrode, Ti/IrO2 anode and H-C metal cathode, and flotation separator was developed for the efficient treatment of shipboard emulsified oily wastewater. The electorod cleance and current density of elecrolytic basin to ensure maximum treatment efficiency of oily wastewater was evaluated as 6 mm, 3 A/dm3, respectively. The electrolytic efficiency of oily wastewater was affected by the operationtemperature, and it means that the temperature controller to ensure the stabiity of the process is required. The conductivity in the electrolytic basin was increased with the percentage of sea water in the oily wastewater, and over 90% of treatment efficiency of oily wastewater could be obtained at 7% of sea water. The oil removal rate was increased according to the increase of the quantity of electricity, and the maximum value of electrilyic rate constant was 288 mgoil/A.min. The information obtained from this study might be used for development of an efficient continuous electrolytic system treating the emulsified oily wastewater.

This study interrogated multi-layer heterojunction anodes were interrogated for potential applications to water treatment. The multi-layer anodes with outer layers of $SnO_2/Bi_2O_3$ and/or $TiO_2/Bi_2O_3$ onto $IrO_2/Ta_2O_5$ electrodes were prepared by thermal decomposition and characterized in terms of reactive chlorine species (RCS) generation in 50 mM NaCl solutions. The $IrO_2/Ta_2O_5$ layer on Ti substrate (Anode 1) primarily served as an electron shuttle. The current efficiency (CE) and energy efficiency (EE) for RCS generation were significantly enhanced by the further coating of $SnO_2/Bi_2O_3$ (Anode 2) and $TiO_2/Bi_2O_3$ (Anode 3) layers onto the Anode 1, despite moderate losses in electrical conductivity and active surface area. The CE of the Anode 3 was found to show the highest RCS generation rate, whereas the multi-junction architecture (Anode 4, sequential coating of $IrO_2/Ta_2O_5$, $SnO_2/Bi_2O_3$, and $TiO_2/Bi_2O_3$) showed marginal improvement. The microscopic observations indicated that the outer $TiO_2/Bi_2O_3$ could form a crack-free layer by an incorporation of anatase $TiO_2$ particles, potentially increasing the service life of the anode. The results of this study are expected to broaden the usage of dimensionally stable anodes in water treatment with an enhanced RCS generation and lifetime.

Fabrication and oxidants production of 3 or 4 components metal oxide electrode, which is known to be so effective to destruct non-biodegradable organics in wastewater, were studied. Five electrode materials (Ru as main component and Pt, Sn, Sb and Gd as minor components) were used for the 3 or 4 components electrode. The metal oxide electrode was prepared by coating the electrode material on the surface of the titanium mesh and then thermal oxidation at $500^{\circ}C$ for 1h. The removed RhB per 2 min and unit W of 3 components electrode was in the order: Ru:Sn:Sb=9:1:1 > Ru:Pt:Gd=5:5:1 > Ru:Sn=9:1 > Ru:Sn:Gd=9:1:1 > Ru:Sb:Gd=9:1:1. Although RhB decolorization of Ru:Sn:Sb:Gd electrode was the highest among the 4 components electrode, the RhB decolorization and oxidants formation of the Ru:Sn:Sb=9:1:1 electrode was higher than that of the 3 and 4 components electrode. Electrogenerated oxidants (free Cl and $ClO_2$) of chlorine type in 3 and 4 components electrode were higher than other oxidants such as $H_2O_2\;and\;O_3$. It was assumed that electrode with high RhB decolorization showed high oxidant generation and COD removal efficiency. OH radical which is electrogenerated by the direct electrolysis was not generated the entire 3 and 4 components electrode, therefore main mechanism of RhB degradation by metal oxide electrode based Ru was considered indirect electrolysis using electrogenerated oxidants.

Three-dimensionally ordered macro-porous Sn-C composites were prepared by using polystyrene microsphere as a template. The Sn-C composites were composed of well-interconnected pore with circular shape and wall structure with wall thickness of a few tens of nano-meters. This porous three-dimensional structure is readily and uniformly accessible to the electrolyte, which facilitates lithium ion diffusion during charge-discharge reactions. The wall thickness of the composites was increased as the increase of Sn content of the composite. From EDS analysis, it is confirmed that the Sn was dispersed uniformly in Sn-C composites. The capacity was increased as the Sn content increased, which is due to Sn anode with high capacity. The Sn-C composites with high Sn content showed superior cyclic performances. Such enhancement is ascribed to the thick wall thickness and small pore size of the sample with high Sn content. The Sn-C composite with Sn 30 wt% showed relatively high capacity and stable cycle life, however, the stability of the 3-dimensional structure should be enhanced by further work.

Fabrication and oxidants formation of 1 and 2 component metal oxide electrode, which is known to be so effective to destruct non-biodegradable organics in wastewater, were studied. Five electrode materials (Ru, Pt, Sn, Sb and Gd) were used for the 1 and 2 component electrode. The metal oxide electrode was prepared by coating the electrode material on the surface of the titanium mesh and then thermal oxidation at $500^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The removed RhB per 2 min and unit W for one component electrode decreased in the following sequences: Ru/Ti>Sb/Ti>Pt/Ti>Gd/Ti>Sn/Ti. The concentration of oxidants generated in 1 and 2 component electrodes was in the order of: $ClO_2$> free Cl>$H_2O_2>O_3$. OH radical was not generated from in entire one and two component electrodes. RhB degradation rate and generated oxidants of the Ru-Sn=9:1 electrode was higher than that of the two component electrode. The exact relationship between the removal of RhB and the generated oxidants concentration was not obvious. However, it was assumed that electrode with high RhB decolorization had high oxidant concentration.
