북양젓나무(Abies sibirica Ledeb)를 이용하여 온도별로 탄화한 목분탄, 목섬유탄 및 수피탄 등 목질탄화물에 대한 탄소함량, 세공특성 및 화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 목질탄화물의 종류와 관계없이 탄화온도가 상승할수록 탄화수율은 감소하였으며, 목탄의 탄소함량은 탄화온도의 상승과 함께 증가하였으나, 수소나 산소의 함량은 감소하였다. 특히 수피탄화물은 목분 또는 목섬유 탄화물과 비교하여 탄화수율이 높게 나타났으며, 수피탄화물내 회분함량도 상당히 높았다. 목분탄과 목섬유탄의 비표면적이 수피탄보다 큰 경향이 있으며, $600^{\circ}C$까지는 탄화온도의 증가와 함께 비표면적, 전세공용적이 증가하여 최대를 나타내었으나, $800^{\circ}C$로 탄화온도가 상승하면 오히려 비표면적과 총세공용적이 감소되었다. 그러나 평균세공크기는 목탄종류와 관계없이 탄화온도의 상승과 함께 감소하였다. 한편 목탄의 표면 관능기양은 탄화온도가 높을수록 산성인 HCl 흡착량이 많고, 탄화온도가 낮을수록 염기성인 NaOH, $Na_2CO_3$ 및 $NaHCO_3$ 흡착량이 많으며, 이러한 결과는 목탄의 pH에 영향을 주어 고온탄화물은 알칼리성, 저온탄화물은 산성을 나타내는 것으로 생각된다.

The packaging of fruits is very important because appropriate packaging can optimize the maintenance of freshness of fruits during their distribution in low or normal temperatures until the products reach consumers. The focus of this study was on the use of functional packaging materials for the post-harvest maintenance of the freshness of fruits. Oak charcoal has excellent far infrared emission and ethylene absorption qualities, and we developed a charcoal-processing packaging linerboard to evaluate the possibility for the use of charcoal as a functional packaging material for pears. Oriental pears of the Niitaka cultivar used in this study account for about 70% of pears harvested every year, and are a very popular domestic fruit in Korea. Pears packaged in packaging materials processed with charcoal were of significantly higher quality (p<0.05) than those packaged with conventional packaging materials, suggesting that charcoal-processed packaging materials can be used as functional packaging material for extending the storability and distribution time of fruits. Charcoal-coated linerboard was shown to be the most appropriate packaging material based on its compression strength, ethylene absorption performance, and the firmness and minimal weight loss of pears.

This study was conducted the adsorption experiment way of organic wastewater (BOD, COD, TOC, T-N, T-P) by changing the carbonization temperature and the size of adsorbent to examine the adsorption capacity of Korean traditional charcoal which has similar characteristics to activated carbon of organic pollutants. Also, it was performed the basic experiment for pH and inorganic materials. As a result of observing Korean traditional charcoal with has the greatest inorganic contents which are the important factor of chemical adsorption. As the carbonization temperature was better high temperature charcoal than law temperature charcoal to adsorption capacity of pollutant and as the particle was minute (D size : $3.35mm{\sim}2.0mm$), it was most effective. The result of adsorption experiment of organic wastewater show that the elimination ratio of pollutants by bamboo high temperature charcoal was found as BOD(82.1%), COD(91.7%), TOC(52.4%), T-N(66.6%), T-P(83.2%) and it has most excellent adsorption capacity of organic pollutants.

Activated charcoal is an inert substance and it is used in standard therapy in patients with acute intoxication. Charcoal has some side effects such as pulmonary aspiration, gastrointestinal complications, and electrolyte abnormalities. Although aspiration of charcoal is a rare complication, it can cause fatal sequelae. We report a 69-year old man who developed acute respiratory failure associated with charcoal aspiration after management of glyphosate poisoning. The patient was drowsy and suffered severe vomiting during transport to our hospital. On arrival, acute respiratory failure was observed due to charcoal aspiration, but the clinical state was improved with repeated bronchoscopy with a bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). We presumed that the aspirated charcoal was an important factor in evoking a lung injury. Early bronchoscopy with a BAL might be an effective method for eliminating charcoal from the lung, especially in the case of a large amount of aspiration, and be helpful in decreasing respiratory failure due to charcoal aspiration.

탄화온도 차이에 따른 목질 탄화물의 중금속 흡착성 변화를 알아보기 위하여, 신갈나무(Quercus mongolica) 목부와 낙엽송(Larix kaempferi) 수피분말을 $400{\sim}900^{\circ}C$에서 탄화하였다. 목질 탄화물의 pH는 재료의 종류와 관계없이 탄화온도의 증가와 함께 증가하여 $900^{\circ}C$의 목탄 및 수피탄은 각각 10.8, 10.4를 나다내었다. 또한 탄화 온도 증가와 함께 탄소함량비가 증가하고 동일 탄화온도에서 목탄에 비해 수피탄의 탄소함량비가 큰 경향을 보였다. 액상흡착력을 나타내는 요오드흡착력은 목탄이 수피탄보다 다소 큰 경향을 나타내었다. 이러한 특성을 지닌 목탄과 수피탄에 의한 15ppm의 Cd, Zn 및 Cu 중금속용액에 대한 흡착제거율을 조사한 바, 높은 탄화온도에서 제조된 목탄과 수피탄일수록 높은 중금속제거율을 나타내었으며, 탄화물 종류에 있어서는 목탄이 수피탄 보다 높은 중금속 제거율을 나타내는 경향이 있었다. 특히 목탄의 경우, $500^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 제조된 탄화물 0.2 g의 사용으로 거의 100%에 가까운 제거율을 나타내었다. 한편 흡착질 종류에 있어서의 제거성능에는 다소 차이가 있으며, 본 연구에서 사용한 탄화물의 흡착성은 Cu>Cd>Zn 순으로 높았다. 이는 목탄과 같은 흡착제와 흡착의 대상이 되는 흡착질과의 물리 화학적 상호관계가 흡착에 영향을 주기 때문으로 목탄의 흡착효율을 높이기 위해서는 이에 대한 연구가 더 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

The breakthrough behaviour of activated charcoal cloth samples against an oxygen analogue (OA) of sulphur mustard has been studied using the modified Wheeler equation. Activated charcoal cloth samples having different surface area values in the range of 481 to $1290m^2/g$ were used for this purpose. Breakthrough behaviour was found to depend on the properties of the activated charcoal cloth, properties of the OA and the adsorption conditions. Activated charcoal cloth with a high surface area of $1290m^2/g$, relatively large surface density of $160g/m^2$ and coarser fiber structure exhibited better kinetic saturation capacity value, 0.19 g/g, against OA vapours when compared to others, thus confirming its potential use in foldable masks for protection against chemical warfare agents.

The study was conducted to evaluate the adsorption equilibrium of heavy metals on bone charcoal made of livestock bone which was sintered at $550{\sim}600^{\circ}C$. Analysis of bone charcoal by XRD and FT-IR showed that crystal structure was similar to that of synthetic hydroxyapatite. Adsorption equilibrium capacity of single component (Pb, Cd, and Zn) on bone charcoal could be expressed as Langmuir, Freundlich, and Sips equations. Sips isotherm was best among the three isotherms. The values predicted by IAST(ideal adsorbed solution theory) showed good relationship to the experimental data in multicomponent adsorption equilibrium. Adsorption affinity was in order of Pb, Cd, and Zn. The order was same in case of activated carbon or synthetic hydroxyapatite. Through the study results. it would be expected that bone charcoal made of livestock could be used in field of wastewater treatment plants as adsorbent to remove heavy metal.

In this study, the effect of carbonization temperature and mixing ratio of ceramics manufactured from sawdust, chaff and charcoal on sound absorption performance and density profile was investigated. The density profile of ceramics prepared by the addition rates of sawdust, chaff and charcoal showed the highest value at 91.00% when the ratio of sawdust, chaff and charcoal was 50:25:15. However, the difference in density profile according to the addition rate was insignificant. The density profile of ceramics manufactured according to the carbonization temperature showed the highest value of 88.06% when manufactured at 800℃. However, it does not show any particular trend, so it is understood that the effect of the carbonization temperature on the density gradient is small. On the other hand, the sound absorption coefficients of ceramics prepared by the addition rates of sawdust, chaff and charcoal is between 0.3 and 0.4 at almost all frequencies when the addition rates of sawdust, chaff and charcoal are 50:30:10 and 50:35:5, respectively. Therefore, as the chaff particles increased, the sound absorption performance was improved. In addition, the sound absorption coefficients of the ceramics manufactured at each carbonization temperature showed the highest value in the ceramics manufactured at 1,200℃.
