A review is presented for various gas transport mechanisms through microporous membranes of both polymeric and inorganic materials. Different transport modes manifest depending on the pore size and the flow regime, which is a function of pressure, temperature, and the interaction between gas molecules and the pore walls. For microporous membranes whose pores are small and the internal surface area huge, the surface diffusion becomes a significant factor. If the pores become even smaller, then the transport mechanism will be more of an activated diffusion type. When conditions are right capillary condensation will take place to create an enormous capillary pressure gradient, which will greatly enhance the permeation flux. At the same time the capillary condensate of the heavier component may block the membrane pores denying the passage of the lighter gas molecules. All of these phenomena will influence the separation of mixtures.

Factors influencing penetration kinetics of PVAm solution into paper were investigated with ultrasonic Penetration Evenness Analyzer (PEA). Paper structure was varied by changing basis weight, freeness of pulp, calendering, number of plies and filler addition and hydrophobicity of paper was varied by adding AKD. Important factors affecting liquid penetration are found to be pore structure and hydrophobicity of paper. Pore structure of paper can be designed by controlling refining degree and filler addition. Hydrophobicity of paper can be controlled by internal sizing.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of foulant characteristics on Membrane fouling index such as Silt Density Index (SDI) and Modified Fouling Index (MFI). A linear relationship was found relating the fouling index (both SDI and MFI) on particle concentration, but fouling index values were nonlinearly (exponentially) with increasing organic concentration. When organic matter was the primary cause of fouling, the MFI was not accurately predicted due to internal fouling such as pore adsorption. The fouling index was determined mainly by particle characteristics when both particle and organic coexisted in the feed water. This observation was attributed to lessening of organic pore adsorption by particle cake layer formed on the membrane surface. Bench-scale actual fouling experiments demonstrated that permeate flux declines much faster with feed water containing particles than organic matters although fouling potential predicted by SDI values were identical, indicating that the accurate prediction of fouling potential requires the development of fouling index reflecting different foulant characteristics.

Poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene), PVDF-HFP, hollow fiber membranes were prepared by the dry/wet spinning technique using different polyethylene glycol (PEG) concentrations as non-solvent additive in the dope solution. Two different PEG concentrations (3 and 5 wt.%). The morphology and structural characteristics of the hollow fiber membranes were studied by means of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and void volume fraction. The experimental permeate flux and the salt (NaCl) rejection factor were determined using direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) process. An increase of the PEG content in the spinning solution resulted in a faster coagulation of the PVDF-HFP copolymer and a transition of the cross-section internal layer structure from a sponge-type structure to a finger-type structure. Pore size, nodule size and roughness parameters of both the internal and external hollow fiber surfaces were determined by AFM. It was observed that both the pore size and roughness of the internal surface of the hollow fibers enhanced with increasing the PEG concentration, whereas no change was observed at the outer surface. The void volume fraction increased with the increase of the PEG content in the spinning solution resulting in a higher DCMD flux and a smaller salt rejection factor.

As the energy density of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) continues to increase, various separators are being developed to with the aim of improving the safety performance. Although poly(imide) (PI)-based separators are widely used, it is difficult to control their pore size and distribution, and this may further increase the risk associated. Herein, a melamine phosphonic acid (MP)-coated PI separator that can effectively control the pore structure of the substrate is suggested as a remedy. After the MP material is embedded into the PI separator with a simple one-step casting process, it effectively clogs the large pores of the PI separator, preventing the occurrence of internal short circuits during charging. It is anticipated that the MP material can also suppress rapid thermal runaway upon cycling due to its ability to reduce the internal temperature of the LIB cell caused by the desirable endothermic behavior around 300℃. According to experiments, the MP-coated PI separator not only decreases the thermal shrinkage rate better than commercial poly(ethylene) (PE) separators but also exhibits a desirable Gurley number (109.6 s/100 cc) and electrolyte uptake rate (240%), which is unique. The proposed separator is electrochemically stable in the range 0.0-5.0 V (vs. Li/Li⁺), which is the typical working potential of conventional electrode materials. In practice, the MP-coated PI separator exhibits stable cycling performance in a graphite-LiNi_0.83Co_0.10Mn_0.07O₂ full cell without an internal short circuit (retention: 90.3%).

The present study demonstrates the effect of freezing conditions on the pore structure of porous Cu-10 wt.% Sn prepared by freeze drying of $CuO-SnO_2$/camphene slurry. Mixtures of CuO and $SnO_2$ powders are prepared by ball milling for 10 h. Camphene slurries with 10 vol.% of $CuO-SnO_2$ are unidirectionally frozen in a mold maintained at a temperature of $-30^{\circ}C$ for 1 and 24 h, respectively. Pores are generated by the sublimation of camphene at room temperature. After hydrogen reduction and sintering at $650^{\circ}C$ for 2 h, the green body of the $CuO-SnO_2$ is completely converted into porous Cu-Sn alloy. Microstructural observation reveals that the sintered samples have large pores which are aligned parallel to the camphene growth direction. The size of the large pores increases from 150 to $300{\mu}m$ with an increase in the holding time. Also, the internal walls of the large pores contain relatively small pores whose size increases with the holding time. The change in pore structure is explained by the growth behavior of the camphene crystals and rearrangement of the solid particles during the freezing process.

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.

본 연구에서는 막의 재질에 따른 막오염 특성과 물리 화학적 세척에 대한 영향을 살펴보았다. 막의 재질에 대한 막오염 특성을 조사하기 위하여 정적흡착실험과 일정 압력하에서 흡착실험을 병행하여 실험을 수행하였다. UF 막의 재질특성에 따른 정적흡착 실험값을 회귀분석한 결과, 소수성과 친수성 유기물질의 시간에 따른 흡착 특성은 소수성 재질의 막이 친수성 재질의 막보다 빠른 흡착특성을 보였다. 막의 재질에 따른 유기물 성상별 흡착실험 결과, 막의 재질에 상관없이 소수성 유기물질의 흡착율이 친수성 유기물질보다 더 빠른 흡착율을 보였다. 또한 막의 표면과 공극속에서 발생하는 유기물의 흡착 특성을 살펴보기 위하여 일정한 압력하에서 시간에 따른 흡착 특성을 살펴본 결과 정적흡착실험 결과와 유사하게 친수성 재질의 막보다 소수성 재질의 막에서 더 빠른 흡착율을 보이고 있다. 막에 재질에 따른 흡착실험 후 투과 flux 변화와 flux 회복율에 대한 실험결과, 친수성 재질의 막의 경우 소수성 재질의 막에 비하여 투과 flux 감소율은 낮게 나타났으며 물리 화학적 세척의 영향에서도 물리적인 세척후 효과적인 회복율을 나타내었으며 화학적인 세척의 영향은 거의 없었다. 친수성 재질의 막의 경우 막자체의 고유저항(Rm)이 크게 나타나고 있으며 소수성 재질의 막의 경우 케이크에 의한 저항과 물리 화학적 세척에도 회복되지 않는 비가역적 저항이 크게 나타나고 있다. 따라서 친수성 재질의 막의 경우 막표면 오염이 주가 되며 소수성 재질의 막의 경우 막표면 오염과 공극 오염이 동시에 발생함을 알 수 있었다.

The drying shrinkage of concrete has a close relation to the water movement, Since the diffusion process of water in concrete is strongly dependent on the temperature and pore humidity, the process is highly nonlinear phenomena. It is shown that the analytical results of this study are in good agreement with experimental data in the literatures, and results calculated by BP-KX model. The internal stress caused by moisture distribution which was resulted from the diffusion process, was calculated quantitatively. The tensile stress which occurred in the drying outer zone mostly exceeded the tensile strength of concrete, and necessarily would result in crack formation.

Ionic currents through many different cation channels are specifically reduced by internal and/or external $Mg^{2＋}$ within a concentration range of physiological relevance. Although there are many ways for a divalent cation to reduce channel currents, the current blockade by directly binding to a conduction pore has been most well studied.(omitted)
