Cyanidation method has been used to extract high-purity gold and silver in mining industry. Such mining activities have used a large amount of cyanide, and the mine wastewater contained a high level of cyanide has brought about pollution of surrounding aqueous environments. This research was initiated to study $TiO_2$-catalytic UV-LED photo-oxidation to remove cyanide from the mine wastewater. UV lamp has been generally used as a light source in conventional photo-oxidation so far, but it shows numerous drawbacks. For this reason, this study focused on the evaluation of applicability of UV-LED as an alternative light source in cyanide photo-oxidation process. Three types of $TiO_2$ photo-catalyst were compared in terms of performance of photo-oxidation of cyanide, and the results show that Degussa P25 was the most efficient. In addition, four types of UV-LED were tested to compare their efficiencies of cyanide photo-oxidation, and their efficacy was increased in the order of 365 nm lamp-type > 365 nm can-type > 280 nm can-type > 420 nm lamp-type. Not only did this study demonstrate that UV-LED can be used in the photo-oxidation of cyanide as an alternative light source of UV lamp, but also confirmed that the performance of photo-oxidation was significantly influenced by the type of $TiO_2$ catalysts.

In order to develop a LED luminaire for naval-submarines which can replace a conventional one with two-compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) of 18 W, we analyzed the electrical and optical performance of the conventional luminaire. A LED luminaire was fabricated as compact as possible based on the analyzed data. The weight of the prototype LED luminaire is 1.8 kg, reducing up to 58% of the conventional one. The use of LED package for the submarine luminaire could reduce the power consumption from 38 W to 14.5 W with the same optical performance. The reason is that the optical efficacy of the LED luminaire improved by 2.47 times as 61.9 lm/W, compared to 25.1 lm/W for the conventional one.

In this study, SMPS driven LED traffic signal light for Large-scale traffic such as railroad and airport was designed and its electrical and EMI characteristics were measured. The output current of the LED module driven by SMPS was 1.67A for AC and DC input voltage over 10V. The conducted emission measured over 0.15~30MHz frequency range was lower than the allowed quasi-peak and average level, and the radiated noise measured over 30~1000MHz frequency range showed $23.96dB{\mu}V/m$ at 59.96MHz.

Approximately 20 percentage of energy consumptions in buildings is consumed as lighting energy. Thus, most of the corporations of lighting fixture have launched low energy products. However, many researchers focused on the only luminous efficacy for energy conservation and used the evaluating tool of study. This can not gauge the precise cooling load related on generated heat of artificial lighting. In order to assess an effect of the temperature variation of lighting resources, the main purpose of this study is to predict the generated heating energy from lighting by measuring the thermal variation in scale model to reduce external noise. Also this paper used MX100 data logger to record at an interval of 1 minute for 60 minutes for the temperature of interior lightings such as incandescent lamp, fluorescent light, halogen lamp and LED lamp. As a result, LED lamp generated the lowest heat. On the other hand, incandescent lamp did the highest.

This study was conducted to the improvement of solar light-based artificial light supply system and effect of lettuce cultivation. The artificial light supply system was consisted of units such as light source, power, system measurement and controller. The light source supply was composed of a solar transmitter and an LED lamp. The power supply consisted of an leakage breaker, SMPS, LED controller and relay. The solar transmitter was made of a quartz optical fiber with optimal light transmission. Artificial light used white lamp among LEDs. System measurement and control consisted of touch screen, Zigbee communication module and light quantity sensor. The results of test confirmed that the LED light is automatically activated when the intensity measured by the light intensity sensor is 200 μmolm^-2s^-1 or less. Moreover, the leaf length, root length, chlorophyll content and root fresh weight of optical fiber treatment was hight than LED lamp treatment. Therefore, it can be inferred that the energy-saving solar light collector device can be effective in the indoor lettuce production. However, the use of LED lamp is also recommended to assure the availability of sufficient sunlight in cloudy and rainy days.

기존의 조명설비가 친환경 설비로 대체되면서 고효율의 밝은 빛을 내는 LED가 각광을 받고 있다. 현재 20W급 전구를 사용하고 있으며, 다양한 제품군으로 빠르게 확산되고 있다. 하지만 제품 특성을 살릴 수 있는 고효율 전원장치가 필요하지만, 이에 관한 연구는 많지 않다. 현재 사용되고 있는 전원 공급 장치는 정류된 전원을 제어전원으로 사용함으로써 소비 전력이 큰 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 20W급 형광등 대치용 LED전구의 제어전원으로 자생 전원을 사용함으로써 전력손실을 감소시키는 방법을 제안한다.

본 논문에서는 대형 LED lamp용 직렬 공진형 direct ac-dc 컨버터를 제안하였다. 교류상용전원을 통한 LED lamp에 전원 공급 시, 입력전류의 왜곡을 방지하기 위해, PFC ac-dc 컨버터가 적용된다. 하지만 PFC 컨버터의 특성에 따라 회로의 복잡도 및 수용 전력의 한계가 존재한다. 제안된 컨버터는 기존의 전력변환 방식과 다른 형태로서, 교류 쵸퍼(AC chopper)와 직렬공진회로가 혼합된 구성을 가지며, 교류 쵸퍼의 직접 전력 변환을 통해 PFC 회로 구성없이도 고 역률을 획득할 수 있으며, 직렬공진회로를 통하여 제안된 컨버터의 모든 스위치의 영전압 스위칭(ZVS) 턴-온동작을 통해 손실저감을 도모한다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 컨버터의 동작원리를 간단히 설명하고, 250W의 프로토 타입을 통하여 제안된 컨버터의 우수성을 검증한다.

LEDs have been used extensively in the mobile device, automobile, and general lighting because they are semi-permanent, long life, less power consumption, reliable and environmentally friendly. In this paper, the accelerated degradation test(ADT) for a general lighting 4W LED Lamp using external converter is considered. The conditions of ADT are high temperature and high humidity. We show that its life time is log-normally distributed with same parameters under both a normal condition and an accelerated condition, and also derive an accelerated factor.

The fuel cost of fishing lights for squid jigging fishing vessels takes about 30% of total fishing costs and over 65% of total fuel costs, which indicates the necessity of development of cost-reducing and high efficient fishing light system. This study aimed to analyze the economic effectiveness of LED fishing light systems in combination with metal halide lamp for the squid jigging fishery. Analytical results showed that the level of fishing profits of vessels using LED lights could be different with those of vessels using metal halide lights. That is, when a fuel cost could be reduced by 30%, fishing profits of vessels using LED lights might be the same as those of vessels using metal halide lights, and fishing profits of vessels using LED lights could be higher than those of vessels using metal halide lights when a fuel cost could be reduced by 50%.

The floodlighting assists the pilot in taxiing the aircraft into and out of the final parking position and provide lighting suitable for passenger to embark and debark and for personnel to load and unload cargo. It is composed of sodium lamps which is consuming high energy. It needs to develop a dedicated LED lamp to replace the existing lamps. In this paper, We propose a suitable asymmetric angle of LED lamps to avoid a pilot's glare and to meet the standard illumination. For this, we analyze asymmetric angle of sodium lamps which are using in airport and confirm whether the illumination distribution and glare index meet the relating standards by using simulation method. Also, we study the needs of asymmetric characteristics of LED ramp by simulating the LED lamps with and without asymmetric characteristics of ramp respectively. With the simulation result, finally we propose the best asymmetric angle of LED lamp to meet the average illumination standard, and avoid a pilot's glare.
