$H_2S$ is a flammable toxic gas that can be produced in plants, mines, and industries and is especially fatal to human body. In this study, CuO nanowire structure with high porosity was fabricated by deposition of copper on highly porous singlewall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) template followed by oxidation. The SWCNT template was formed on alumina substrates by the arc-discharge method. The oxidation temperatures for Cu nanowires were varied from 400 to $800^{\circ}C$. The morphology and sensing properties of the CuO nanowire sensor were characterized by FESEM, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, XRD, and currentvoltage examination. The $H_2S$ gas sensing properties were carried out at different operating temperatures using dry air as the carrier gas. The CuO nanowire structure oxidized at $800^{\circ}C$ showed the highest response at the lowest operating temperature of $150^{\circ}C$. The optimum operating temperature was shifted to higher temperature to $300^{\circ}C$ as the oxidation temperature was lowered. The results were discussed based on the mechanisms of the reaction with ionosorbed oxygen and the CuS formation reaction on the surface.

The purpose of this study is to suggest improvement plans for prevention regulations by reflecting the toxicity, fire and explosion effects of hazardous materials factories and surrounding areas using an off-site consequence assessment program. Regarding the effects of the hydrogen cyanide leak accident, which is the 1st petroleum of the 4th class flammable liquid, Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres (ALOHA) program was used to compare and analyze the extent of damage effects for toxicity, overpressure, and radiation. As a result, the toxicity was analyzed to exceed 5km in the area with Acute exposure guideline level (AEGL)-2 concentration or higher, the overpressure was 103m in the range of 1 psi or more, and the radiant heat was analyzed to be 724m in the range of 2kw/m² or more. Toxicity and radiation affected the area outside the hazardous material storage area, but the overpressure was limited to the inside of the hazardous material storage area. Therefore, we propose to improve the safety management of hazardous materials by conducting a risk assessment for hazardous materials and reflecting the results in internal and external emergency response plans to prepare prevention regulations.

매우 얇고 다공성 비인화성 와이퍼 용지를 아인산 수용액 처리에 의해 준비되었다. H₃PO₃ 처리는 와이퍼 용지의 난연성을 불연성 수준으로 개선시켰다. 열중량 분석 결과 700℃에서 잔량이 50%까지 증가했다. 이것은 본 실험과 같은 아인산 처리가 셀룰로오스 사슬의 탈수를 돕고, 연소중에 차르(char)와 유사한 구조의 형성을 촉진한다는 것을 의미한다. FT-IR과 X선 광전자 분광학에서는 H₃PO₃의 일부분은 셀룰로오스 사슬의 작용기와 반응하는 것으로 보였다. 반응한 아인산은 셀룰로오스의 체인의 탈수를 촉진하고, 차르와 같은 구조의 형성을 도와 와이퍼 용지의 난연성을 향상시킨다.

Explosion and fire cause about 30 reported industrial major accidents a year by ignition source which discharge of electrostatic generated to flammable gas, vapor, dust and mixtures. It brings economically and humanly very large loss that accident was caused by fire and explosion from electrostatic discharge. Thus, it is very important that electrostatic discharge energy is to be control below not to be igniting flammable mixtures. There are two kinds of analysis model for electrostatic discharge, human body model and machine model. Human body model is available the parameter of human's electrical equivalent that capacitance is 100 pF, resistance is $1.5k{\Omega}$. To simulate and visualize the electrostatic discharge from human body need a very expensive and high voltage simulator. In this paper, we measured the value of capacitance and resistance concerned with test materials and sizing of specimen and the value of charged voltage concerned with test specimen and distance to develop an electrostatic charge/discharge simulating tool for teaching with which concerned industrial employee and students. The result of experiments, we conformed that the minimum ignition energy of methane-oxygen mixtures meets well the equation $W=1/2CV^2$, and found out that the insulating material and sizing of equivalent value having human body mode are the poly ethylene of 200 mm and 300 mm of diameter. Developed electrostatic charge/discharge simulating tool has many merits; simple mechanism, low cost, no need of electric power and so on.

일반적으로 인화성 액체를 사용하여 제품을 만들어 내는 회분식 반응 공정에서는 작업 후 반응기 세척(Cleaning) 시 제품 생산을 위해 사용되는 원료인 인화성 액체를 일정압력으로 분사하여 반응기 벽면 등을 세척하는 스플래쉬 필링(Splash Filling) 형태의 작업 방법을 적용한다. 이러한 작업과정에서 인화성 액체의 미스트 등이 발생하여 폭발하한계가 낮아지며 유동대전, 충돌대전, 분출대전과 같이 여러 형태의 복합 대전에 따른 방전현상으로 화재·폭발이 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 최근의 사고사례를 바탕으로 회분식 공정에서 톨루엔을 통한 스플래쉬 필링(Splash Filling) 형태의 작업 시 위험성을 파악하고 당량법을 이용한 폭발영향분석을 수행하여 사고결과를 분석하여 이러한 사고를 예방하기 위한 상시적 불활성화, 세척 방법 개선, 탄탈럼 사용 등의 예방대책을 제시하고자 한다.

국내외의 가연성 또는 인화성물질을 취급하는 대형설비에서의 폭발위험장소에 대한 안전관리는 기업의 지속가능경영과 신뢰를 바탕으로 한 지역사회와의 공존에 있어 매우 중요하다. 폭발위험장소의 안전관리는 크게 가연성 또는 인화성 물질의 누출을 제어하는 시스템과 이러한 가연성 또는 인화성물질이 누출되어 폭발분위기를 형성할 때 점화원을 제어함으로써 화재 또는 폭발사고로 전이되지 않도록 하는 방폭시스템이 있다. 제도와 기술로 인해 전기적 점화원에 대한 방폭설비는 상당히 보급되어 관리되고 있다. 하지만 열적 점화원의 경우, 위험성에 대한 인식과 관련 기술개발이 미흡하다. 본 연구는 잠재적 폭발위험장소에서 내연기관의 점화 위험을 보고하기 위하여 수행되었다. 이를 위하여 문헌조사를 통하여 관련 국제표준과 사고사례 및 위험분석보고서를 연구하고, 국내 중부권 공정안전관리제도 대상 사업장의 디젤엔진의 불꽃방지기 등 안전장치 적용실태를 조사하였다. 실제적으로 본 연구결과를 석유화학 산업에 적용함에 있어, 디젤엔진과 같은 내연기관 점화원의 위험인식을 통해 잠재적 폭발위험장소에서의 폭발방지에 대한 안전관리방안으로 활용 될 수 있을 것이다.

Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are receiving great attention because of their unusual material properties, such as high thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, and electrical resistance. However, high-throughput and high-efficiency synthesis of BNNTs has been hindered due to the high boiling point of boron (${\sim}4000^{\circ}C$) and weak interaction between boron and nitrogen. Although, hydrogen-catalyzed plasma synthesis has shown potential for scalable synthesis of BNNTs, the direct use of $H_2$ gas as a precursor material is not strongly recommended, as it is extremely flammable. In the present study, BNNTs have been synthesized using radio-frequency inductively coupled thermal plasma (RF-ITP) catalyzed by solid-state ammonium chloride ($NH_4Cl$), a safe catalyst materials for BNNT synthesis. Similar to BNNTs synthesized from h-BN (hexagonal boron nitride) + $H_2$, successful fabrication of BNNTs synthesized from $h-BN+NH_4Cl$ is confirmed by their sheet-like properties, FE-SEM images, and XRD analysis. In addition, improved dispersion properties in aqueous solution are found in BNNTs synthesized from $h-BN+NH_4Cl$.

We investigated the cycling behavior of $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ electrode in a cross-linked gel polymer electrolyte based on non-flammable ionic liquid consisting of 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide and vinylene carbonate. The $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ electrodes in ionic liquid-based gel polymer electrolytes exhibited reversible cycling behavior with good capacity retention. Cycling data and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analyses revealed that the optimum content of the cross-linking agent necessary to ensure both acceptable initial discharge capacity and good capacity retention was about 8 wt %.

This study on the prevention of electric fire. Generally the electric fire is caused by break or disconnection of the power line, short circuit and poor contact, arcing fault ect. In these causes, this paper is studied on the detection of poor contact and arcing fault. The arcing fault is caused by poor contact mainly. The arcing fault can occurs a electric fire by interaction of flammable gas and materials and it can be caused of tracking and carbonization. These phenomenons is also caused of electric fire. Therefore this paper is studied on the detection of arcing fault and poor contact.

In process installations, chemicals operate at high temperature and high pressure. Propylene is used as a basic raw material for manufacturing synthetic materials in the petrochemical industry; However, it is a flammable substance and explosive in the gaseous state. Thus, caution is needed when handling propylene. To prevent explosions, an inert gas, carbon dioxide, was used and the changes in the extent of explosion due to changes in pressure and oxygen concentration at 25 ℃, 100 ℃, and 200 ℃ were measured. At constant temperature, the increase in explosive pressure and the rates of the explosive pressure were observed to rise as the pressure was augmented. Moreover, as the oxygen concentration decreased, the maximum explosive pressure decreased. At 25 ℃ and oxygen concentration of 21%, as the pressure increased from 1.0 barg to 2.5 bar, the gas deflagration index (K_g) increased significantly from 4.71 barg·m/s to 18.83 barg·m/s.
