In this research, the application of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) modified PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) membrane was tested as a simply and beginning attempt to overcome membrane fouling because CNTs importantly affect the transport of natural organic matter (NOM). Suwannee River fulvic acid (SRFA) as the representative of NOM was selected and its sorption results with single-walled CNT (SWCNT), multi-walled CNT (MWCNT), and oxidized MWCNT (O-MWCNT) were obtained through the batch experiment. SRFA sorption isotherms had a strong nonlinearity and its sorption capacity followed the order O-MWCNT < MWCNT < SWCNT. The adsorbed mass of SRFA on each CNT decreased as a function of pH due to their charge repulsion. For the CNT-PVDF membrane filtration experiments, the suspended CNT solution (10 mg/40 mL) was incorporated into $0.45{\mu}m$-PVDF membrane and 5 mg/L of SRFA solution was monitored using UV detector connected with high pressure pump after passing through CNT-PVDF membrane. The SRFA removal efficiency by MWCNT-PVDF membrane was the strongest among other modified membranes. This suggests that the CNT modified microfiltration (MF) membrane might effectively and selectively apply to treat the contaminated water including organic compounds in the presence of NOM.

The effect of bench drying or removal of the periodontal ligament with NaOCl upon periodontal healing and root resorption after replantation of molars was studied in rats. A total of 40 Sprague-Dawley female rats were used and fed a powdered purina rat chow diet containing 0.4% beta-aminoproprionitrile. The maxillary first molars were extracted and the periodontal ligaments were removed either by bench drying for 15 minutes or by immersion in 2.5% NaOCl solution. The rats were sacrificed at 5, 10, and 21 days by heart infusion. In order to observe the effect of 0.5% stannous fluoride, $10^{-4}M$, $10^{-2}M$, and 1M etidronate disodium on the early stage of periodontal healing, the periodontal ligament was removed with 2.5% NaOCl followed by immersion of the molar in the respective solutions for 5 minutes. The rats were sacrificed after 10 days and the following results were obtained. 1. The removal of the periodontal ligament with 2.5% NaOCl seemed to be more effective than bench drying, since the resorption area in the NaOCl treated group showed a gradual increase whereas a decline in resorption area from 5 days to 21 days was observed in the bench dried group. 2. The application of 0.5% stannous fluoride seemed to enhance the periodontal ligament attachment and active migration of fibroblasts could be observed. 3. The application of $10^{-4}M$, $10^{-2}M$, and 1M etidronate disodium led to a good periodontal ligament attachment. No evident areas of root resorption were found. 4. The use of ${\beta}$-APN made it possible to extract the maxillary first molar with all five roots intact.

사불화탄소($CF_4$)는 반도체 제조공정에서 에칭과 화학기상증착(CVD)에서 사용되어온 가스이다. $CF_4$는 적외선을 강하게 흡수하고 대기 중 잔류시간이 길어서 지구온난화에 영향을 미치기 때문에 고효율의 분해가 필요하다. 또한 불화수소를 포함한 폐수는 지하수 오염의 원인이 된다. 과도한 불소를 포함한 물을 장기간 섭취는 치아와 뼈에 문제를 야기한다. 워터젯 플라즈마를 이용하여 $CF_4$를 분해 후 생성되는 부산물 중 HF에 의하여 폐수가 생성된다. 이 폐수를 알루미늄 전극을 사용한 전해응집을 이용하여 폐수 중 HF를 제거 할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였다. 실험 변수로는 초기 pH 변화, 반응 시간 변화, 주입유량 변화, 전류 밀도 변화를 실험하였다. 변수 실험을 통하여 초기 pH는 3.5, 반응 시간은 10 min, 주입 유량은 10 mL/min, 전류 밀도는 $159A/m^2$일 때 HF 제거율은 최고 85%까지 도달하였다.

To understand the geologic and hydrogeochemical controls on the occurrence of high fluoride concentrations in bedrock groundwaters in South Korea, we examined a total of 367 hydrochemistry data obtained from deep groundwater wells (avg, depth = 600 m) that were drilled for exploitation of hot springs. The fluoride concentrations were generally very high (avg. 5.65 mg/L) and exceeded the Drinking Water Standard (1.5 mg/L) in 72% of the samples, A significant geologic control of fluoride concentrations was observed: the highest concentrations occur in the areas of granitoids and granitic gneiss, while the lowest concentrations in the areas of volcanic and sedimentary rocks. In relation to the hydrochemical facies, alkaline $Na-HCO_3$ type waters had remarkably higher F concentrations than circum-neutral to slightly alkaline $Ca-HCO_3$ type waters. The Prolonged water-rock interaction occurring during the deep circulation of groundwater in the areas of granitoids and granitic gneiss is considered most important for the generation of high F concentrations. Under such condition, fluoride-rich groundwaters are likely formed through hydrogeochemical processes consisting of the removal of Ca from groundwater via calcite precipitation and/or cation exchange and the successive dissolution of plagioclase and F-bearing hydroxyl minerals (esp. biotite). Thus, groundwaters with high pH and very high Na/Ca ratio within granitoids and granitic gneiss are likely most vulnerable to the water supply problem in relation to the enriched fluorine.

Fluoride-salt-cooled High-temperature Reactor (FHR) is a promising nuclear reactor technology. Among many challenges presented by the molten fluoride salts is the corrosion of salt-facing structural components. Higher moisture contents, in the FLiNaK (LiF-NaF-KF, 46.5-11.5-42 mol%) salt, aggravate intergranular corrosion and pitting for the given alloys. Therefore, several thermal dehydration tests of FLiNaK salt were performed with a batch size suitable for thermal-hydraulic experiments. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) was performed for the three constituent fluoride salts individually. Preliminary thermal dehydration plans were then proposed for NaF and KF salts based on the TGA curves. However, the dehydration process may not be required for LiF since its low mass loss (<1.3 wt%). To evaluate the performance of these thermal dehydration plans, a batch-scale salt dehydration test facility was designed and constructed. The preliminary thermal dehydration plans were tested by varying the heating rates, target temperature, and holding time. The sample mass loss data showed that the high temperatures (>500 ℃) were necessary to remove a significant amount of moisture (>1 wt%) from NaF salt, while relatively low temperatures (around 300 ℃) with a long holding time (>10 h) were sufficient to remove most of the moisture from KF salt.

본 연구에서는 비소(arsenic, As) 제거 특성을 가진 망간-철 산화물(manganese-iron oxide, MF)을 제조하고, 이를 poly vinylidene fluoride (PVdF)와 복합화를 진행하여 As(III)와 As(V)를 동시에 제거가 가능한 수처리용 나노섬유복합막(polymer nanofiber membrane with Mn-Fe, PMF) 제조에 관한 기초 연구를 진행하였다. Transmission electron microscope(TEM) 분석을 통해 MF 소재의 형상 및 구조를 확인하였으며, PMF 복합막의 수처리용 분리막으로의 활용가능성을 조사하기 위하여 기계적 강도, 기공크기, 접촉각 및 수투과도 분석을 진행하였다. 측정결과로부터 망간과 철 비율이 같은 PMF11 복합막의 기계적 강도가 가장 높은 결과값($232.7kgf/cm^2$)을 나타낸 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, MF 소재의 도입에 따라 기공 크기가 점차 줄어드는 경향성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 특히, 철 산화물의 조성비가 증가할수록 기공크기가 감소하는 경향성을 보여주었다. 수투과도 측정결과 MF 소재의 도입에 따라 PVdF 나노섬유막에 비해 약 10~60% 이상 향상되는 결과를 나타내었다. 제조된 MF 소재 및 PMF 복합막의 비소 제거 특성평가를 통해 As(III)와 (V)의 동시 제거 가능하며, 특히, MF01 샘플의 경우 As(III)와 (V)에 각각 93, 68%의 가장 높은 흡착제거율을 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 제조된 MF소재 및 PMF 복합막을 통해 수처리용 분리막의 기능성 향상을 위한 기초연구 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

CFC 세정제의 제3 세대 대체세정제로 평가되는 수소불화에테르(hydrofluoroether; HFE)는 불소분자를 함유하고 있어 표면장력이 낮고 습윤지수가 커서 미세입자제거와 불소계 오염물 제거에 우수하고 인화점이 없고 건조성이 뛰어난 물성을 가지고 있지만, 유기물의 용해력은 떨어져 유기 오염물 제거에는 효율적이지 못하다. 본 연구에서는 $C_5$계 HFE인 HFE-7100 [$CF_3CF_2CF_2CF_2OCH_3$]와 HFE-mec-f[$CF_3CHF=CF_2OCH_2CF_3$]에 유기물질의 용해력이 비교적으로 뛰어난 isopropyl alcohol (IPA), ethyleneglycol monoether (EG), propyleneglycol monoethylether (PM)를 인화점이 나타나지 않는 최대량을 각각 첨가하여 $C_5$계 HFE 기반의 배합세정제를 제조하여 물성과 여러 종류의 플럭스, 비수용성 절삭유, 불소계 오일에 대한 세정성 평가를 수행하였다. 실험 결과 $C_5$계 기반의 배합세정제는 단일 불소계 세정제의 여러 가지 물리적 성질의 장점을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 $C_5$계 기반의 배합세정제는 첨가된 용제에 따라 약간의 차이는 있지만 대체적으로 플럭스, 비수용성 절삭유, 불소계 오일에 우수한 세정력을 나타내어 여러 산업세정 분야에 적용가능성을 보여주었다.

원자력산업에서의 지르코늄합금 튜브 제조공정은 튜브 산세 시 질산과 불산을 사용하고 있어 세척 시 발생되는 폐수의 주요 오염물질은 질산성질소와 불소성분으로 이루어져 있다. 오염물질인 불소와 질산성질소의 처리를 위해, 다양한 실험을 거쳐 처리기술을 검토한 결과를 토대로, 당사의 폐수처리공정은 1차 화학응집처리에 의한 불소성분 제거공정, 황산화 탈질반응을 이용한 SOD (Sulfur Oxidation Denitrification)공법에 의한 독립영양탈질공정, 2차 화학응집처리공정으로 구성하여 운영하고 있다. 본 폐수처리공정의 특징은, 질산성질소제거를 위해 황산화 탈질공법(SOD Process)을 적용한 것이다. SOD공법은 기존의 황탈질공법과는 달리 황과 알칼리성물질을 일체화한 충진담체(JSC Pellet)를 사용한 기술로, 유기탄소원이 전혀 없는 무기계폐수의 탈질기술로서 주목받고 있다. 현재까지 폐수처리장의 운영결과를 보면, 유입수의 평균 T-N농도가 설계값인 100 mg/L를 상회하는 147.55 mg/L이었지만, 처리수의 평균 T-N농도는 12.72 mg/L로 91%의 높은 제거율을 안정하게 유지하고 있다. 이상의 결과로, SOD공법이 무기계 산업폐수의 질산성질소제거에 매우 유용한 공법임이 확인되었으며, 신규 개발한 미생물활성화제(특허출원 중)를 사용함에 의해 증식속도가 늦은 독립영양미생물의 활성이 안정적으로 유지되었다.

Advances in industrial development and waste management over several decades have reduced many of the impacts that previously affected ecosystems, however, there are still processes which discharge hazardous materials into environments. Among industries that produce industrial wastewaters, textile manufacturing processes play a noticeable role. This study was conducted to test a novel continuous combined commercial membrane treatment using polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), ultrafiltration (UF), and polyamide (PA) nanofiltration (NF) membranes for textile wastewater treatment. The synthetic textile wastewater used in this study contained sodium silicate, wax, and five various reactive dyes. The results indicate that the removal efficiency for physical particles (wax and resin) was 95% through the UF membrane under optimum conditions. Applying UF and NF hybrid treatment resulted in total effective removal of dye from all synthetic samples. The efficiency of sodium silicate removal was measured to be between 2.5 to 4.5% and 13 to 16% for UF and NF, respectively. The chemical oxygen demand in all samples was reduced by more than 85% after treatment by NF.

The removal of dissolved oxygen(DO) from water was studied using a poly(vinyliene fluoride)(PVDF) hollow fiber membrane contactor(HFMC) with the vacuum degassing process(VDP), Asymmetric porous PVDF hollow fiber membranes (HFM) for membrane contactor were prepared by a wet phase inversion method. In spinning of these PVDF hollow fibers, dimethy lacetamide (DMAc), LiCl and pure water were used as a solvent, a pore-forming additive and internal/external coagulant, respectively. The characteristics of the structure(pore size, porosity etc.) of the prepared PVDF HFMs as a function of concentration of pore-forming additive in polymer dope solution were studied. Also, the removal efficiency of DO from water according to flow rates of water, using PVDF HFMC with VDP, was studied. The performance of the asymmetric porous PVDF HFMC and a symmetric porous PP HFMC commercialized were compared. As a result, the asymmetric porous PVDF HFMC showed higher removal efficiency of DO than that of a symmetric porous PP HFMC.
