Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the concentrations of particulate matter generated during coffee roasting and to study various factors affecting the concentrations. Methods: Differences in concentration levels were investigated based on various factors to understand the emission rates of particulate matter over time and to compare the mass and number concentrations according to their size. Sampling was performed in closed laboratories without the operation of air conditioning or ventilation. Optical Particle Sizer(OPS) was used as a measuring device. An OPS measures using a light-scattering method. Sampling was performed for sixty minutes at one-minute intervals. The background concentration was measured for about 30 minutes before starting of coffee roasting. The concentrations of particulate matter generated during coffee roasting were monitored until roasted coffee beans were removed from the roaster and cooled down. Several factors affecting the concentrations of particulate matter were investigated, which includes the origins of green beans, the roasting level, and the input amount of green beans. Results: The results of this study may be summarized as follows: 1) There was no difference in particulate matter concentration levels by the origin of the green beans, but a statistically significant difference in concentration levels by roasting level and the input amount of green beans; The higher the roasting level, the higher was the particulate matter concentration. The more green beans we put in the roaster, the higher were the concentrations; 2) The PM10 mass concentrations increased over time. The average concentration after roasting was higher than the average concentration during roasting; 3) In the distribution of mass and number concentration by particle diameter, the majority of particles was below 2.5 ㎛. Conclusions: Persons who work in roastery cafes can be exposed to high concentrations of particulate matter. Therefore, personal exposure and risk assessment should be conducted for roastery cafe workers.

The porosity (including the specific surface area and pore volume-diameter distribution) of montmorillonitic soft rock (MSR) was studied experimentally with an electrochemical treatment, based on which the change in porosity was further analyzed from the perspective of its electrokinetic potential (${\zeta}$ potential) and the isoelectric point of the electric double layer on the surface of the soft rock particles. The variation between the ${\zeta}$ potential and porosity was summarized, and used to demonstrate that the properties of softening, degradation in water, swelling, and disintegration of MSR can be modified by electrochemical treatment. The following conclusions were drawn. The specific surface area and total pore volume decreased, whereas the average pore diameter increased after electrochemical modification. The reduction in the specific surface area indicates a reduction in the dispersibility and swelling-shrinking of the clay minerals. After modification, the ${\zeta}$ potential of the soft rock was positive in the anodic zone, there was no isoelectric point, and the rock had lost its properties of softening, degradation in water, swelling, and disintegration. The ${\zeta}$ potential increased in the intermediate and cathodic zones, the isoelectric point was reduced or unchanged, and the rock properties are reduced. When the ${\zeta}$ potential is increased, the specific surface area and the total pore volume were reduced according to the negative exponent law, and the average pore diameter increased according to the exponent law.

베시클을 이용한 알루미나 미분체 제조에 있어서 베시클 외부 분산계의 pH 변화, 즉 수산화이온의 농도변화가 베시클 내부에서 침전 반응기구 및 침전물의 입자 형태, 분포, 크기등에 미치는 영향을 고찰하고자 하였다. 투과전자현미경(TEM)과 탁도계로 관찰한 결과 분산계의 pH가 11.4 및 11.3에서부터 베시클내부에서 알루미늄 이온과 수산화이온이 반응하여 침전물이 생성되기 시작하였고 pH 12.0 에서 평균입자 크기가 50nm정도의 미세하고 균일한 구형의 침전물이 형성되었다. pH12.3 이상인 영역에서는 시간경과에 따른 베시클간의 응집 및 합체가 일어나 베시클 내부의 침전물이 pH12.0에서 생성된 침전물 크기에 비해 약 두 배 정도 성장함을 알 수 있었다.

Microencapsulations of amoxicillin and cephalexin, using Eudragit RS, RL, E, S and L were investigated. The microcapsules were prepared by the solvent evaporation process in liquid paraffin phase, which is based on dispersion of acetone/isopropanol containing the drug in liquid paraffin. Aluminium tristearate was used as an additive for the preparation of microcapsules. The size distribution, dissolution test and observation by SEM were examined. Good reproducibility in microcapsule preparation was observed. The microcapsules obtained were spherical and free-flowing particles. The dissolution rates of amoxicillin and cephalexin from the microcapsules were considerably decreased as compared with those from amoxicillin and cephalexin powder, respectively. As the dispersing agents (aluminium tristearate) increased, the particle size of microcapsules decreased and the dissolution rate increased. In order to control the release rate of drugs, microcapsules were prepared by mixing Eudragit RS/RL or Eudragit S/L. As Eudragit RL ratio in microcapsule of Eudragit RS/RL increased, the dissolution rate increased. As Eudragit L ratio in microcapsule of Eudragit S/L increased, the dissolution rate increased. Furthermore, the release rates of drugs from Eudragit RS/L or RS/polyelthylene glycol 1540 (PEG 1540) were examined. The dissolution rate of drugs increased with increasing of Eudragit L or PEG 1540 ratio. In conclusion, the release rates of drugs from Eudragit RS/RL or RS/PEG 1540 microcapsule could be controlled, and these microcapsules will be convenient for reducing frequency of administration.

Characteristics of $TiO_2$nanoparticles controlled by precursor flow rate and reaction temperature in chemical vapor condensation process were interpreted in the view of decisive reaction factors, i.e. supersaturation ratio, concentration of vapor molecule, collision frequency and rate, and residence time, which directly affect the particle size and size distribution in CVC reactor. As results, the increases of precursor flow rate and reaction temperature induced the increase in the average sizes of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles in CVC reactor by acceleration of coagulation growth due to the increase of collision between $TiO_2$vapor molecules and particles. The effects of reaction factors on the characteristics of$TiO_2$nanoparticles were discussed with considering particle formation process in CVC reactor under given process parameters.

Nanocrystalline spinel lithium manganese oxide ($LiMn_2O_4$) powders with narrow-size-distribution, pure-phase particles, and high crystallinity with an average crystallite size of about 70 nm were synthesized at $600^{\circ}C$ for 6 h in air by freeze drying method. Spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ is also prepared by sol-gel using citric acid as a chelating agent. The influence of different parameters such as pH conditions, solvent, molar ratio of citric acid to total metal ions, calcination temperature, starting material on the structure, morphology and purity of this oxide was investigated. The results of sol-gel method show that pure $LiMn_2O_4$ with average crystallite size of about 130 nm can be produced from nitrate salts as starting materials at $800^{\circ}C$ for 6 h in air. The optimum pH and molar ratio of chelating agent to total metal ions are $4{\leq}pH{\leq}6$ and 1.0, respectively. A possible mechanism on the formation of the nanocrystallines synthesized by sol-gel was also discussed. At the end a comparison of the differences between two methods was made on the basis of x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) tests.

In this paper, friction welded joints were constructed to investigate the mechanical properties of welded 15-mm diameter solid bars of Mg alloy (AZ31B). The main friction welding parameters were selected to endure reliable quality welds on the basis of visual examination, tensile tests, impact energy test, Vickers hardness surveys of the bonds in the area and heat affected zone (HAZ), and macrostructure investigations. The study reached the following conclusions. The tensile strength of the friction welded materials (271 MPa) was increased to about 100% of the AZ31B base metal (274 MPa) under the condition of a heating time of 1 s. The metal loss increased lineally with an increase in the heating time. The following optimal friction welding conditions were determined: rotating speed (n) = 2000 rpm, heating pressure (HP) = 35 MPa, upsetting pressure (UP) = 70 MPa, heating time (HT) = 1 s, and upsetting time (UT) = 5 s, for a metal loss (Mo) of 10.2 mm. The hardness distribution of the base metal (BM) showed HV55. All of the BM parts showed levels of hardness that were approximately similar to friction welded materials. The weld interface of the friction welded parts was strongly mixed, which showed a well-combined structure of macro-particles without particle growth or any defects. In addition, an acoustic emission (AE) technique was applied to derive the optimum condition for friction welding the Mg alloy nondestructively. The AE count and energy parameters were useful for evaluating the relationship between the tensile strength and AE parameters based on the friction welding conditions.

In this study, based on hydrolysis and condensation via $St{\ddot{o}}ber$ process of sol-gel method, synthesis of mono-dispersed silica nanoparticles was carried out with hydrophilic solvent. This operation was expected to be a more simplified process than that with organic solvent. Based on the sol-gel method, which involves simply controlling the particle size, the particle size of the synthesized silica specimens were ranged from 30 to 300 nm by controlling the composition of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), DI water and ammonia solution, and by varying the stirring speeds while maintaining a fixed amount of ethanol. Increasing the content of DI water and decreasing the content of ammonia caused the particle size to decrease, while controlling the stirring speed at a high level of RPMs enabled a decrease of the particle size. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were utilized to investigate the success factors for synthesizing process; Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) was used to study the effects of the size and morphology of the synthesized particles. To analyze the dispersion properties, zeta potential and particle size distribution (PSD) analyses were utilized.

세공분포가 서로 다른 두 종류(KHT, X-5)의 ${\gamma}$-알루미나 pellet에 아황산가스를 흡착 제거시킬 경우 반응이 진행되면서 각각의 세공벽에 반응생성층이 형성되어 반응속도 상수($K_v$), 세공률(${\varepsilon}_p$), 유효내부 확산계수($D_e$)의 변화와 세공반경이 줄어들어 세공막힘 현상이 일어나게 된다. 이들 영향을 고려하여 세공분포를 이용한 Random pore model로 최적반응온도 $450^{\circ}C$에서 산화구리의 각 담지농도(4, 6, 8, l0 wt%)와 아황산가스의 농도(1000, 2000ppm)에 대한 전환율을 수학적 모델로부터 계산하였다. 산화구리의 담지농도가 증가할수록 세공내의 유효반응 표면적과 세공률의 감소, 내부확산저항의 증가, 미세세공의 세공막힘 현상으로 전환율은 감소하였다. 총괄 전환율은 ${\gamma}$-알루미나 pallet의 표면 국부 전환율에 크게 의존하였으며 산화구리의 담지농도가 낮고 아황산가스의 농도가 클수록 증가하였다. 반응기에 유입되는 아황산가스의 유속은 반응초기 CuO의 전환율에 영향을 주었고 세공분포가 발달하여 세공율이 큰 ${\gamma}$-알루미나 pellet일수록 전환율은 높게 나타났다.
