In order to study the characteristics of cloud, a real-scale experiment for cloud generation was carried out using an extinct vertical mine (430 m height) located in the northeastern Honshu, Japan. The dry particles generated from the three-step concentrations of NaCl solutions were used for cloud generation. The number size distributions of initial dry particles and cloud droplets were monitored by Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS) and Forward Scattering Spectrometer Probe (FSSP) at bottom and upper sites of pit, respectively. The polymeric water absorbent film (PWAF) method was employed to measure liquid water content ($W_L$) as a function of droplet size. Moreover the chemical properties of individual droplet replicas were determined by micro-PIXE. The CCN number concentration shows the lognormal form in dependence of the particle size, while the number size distributions of droplets are bimodal showing the peaks around $9{\mu}m$ and $20{\mu}m$ for every case. In comparison to background mineral particles, right shifting of size distribution line for NaCl particles was occurred. When NaCl solutions with three-step different concentrations were neulized, $W_L$ shows the strong droplet size dependence. It varied from $10.0mg\;m^{-3}$ up to $13.6mg\;m^{-3}$ with average $11.6mg\;m^{-3}$. A good relationship between $W_L$ and cloud droplet number concentration was obtained. Both chemical inhomogeneities (mixed components with mineral and C1) and homogeneities (only mineral components or C1) in individual droplet replicas were obviously observed from micro-PIXE elemental images.

Environmental factors affect parts of the automobile. When dust particles are embedded, specially, friction and wear of the rubber-seal in automobile chassis system are increased. Increase in friction and wear leads to weakness of component and reduction of mechanical life. In this study, the wear characteristics of rubber-seal for inflow of dust particles are investigated. Silica($SiO_2$) and alumina($Al_2O_3$) particles are used as a dust particle because these particles are main elements of dust particles. The sliding wear tester are used for investigate the wear characteristics of rubber-seal. If the single dust particle($SiO_2$) is embedded in the rubber-seal component, the influence of dust particle size is more than that of inflow rate on the wear characteristics of rubber-seal. If the mixed dust particles are embedded in the rubber-seal component, the wear rate is increased as the rate of alumina that has a bigger hardness is increased. If the mixed dust particles that have different hardness are embedded in the rubber-seal component, the influence of particle size is more than that of particle hardness.

에너지 절약을 위한 연구 중 단열 기술 분야에서는 공기의 낮은 열전도도를 활용한 연구가 이뤄지고 있으며 널리 상용화 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 입자 내부에 공기층을 갖는 중공형(hollow) 형태의 실리카 나노 입자를 제조하여 공기층 크기가 단열 성능에 미치는 영향에 대해 고찰하였다. Polystyrene 주형법을 이용하여 졸-겔공정을 통해 속이 빈 중공형 실리카 나노 입자(Hollow silica nanoparticles)를 제조하였고, 입자를 5 wt %로 도료에 첨가한 후 열전달 실험을 통해 단열 성능을 확인하였다. 기존 페인트에 입자를 혼합하여 약 15 %이상의 단열효율을 나타냈으며, 내부 공기층의 크기가 큰 입자가 작은 입자에 비해 5% 높은 단열 성능을 나타냈다. 이번 연구를 통해 내부 크기에 따른 단열효과의 차이를 보여줌으로써, 중공형 형태의 입자를 첨가제나 도료 제조에 사용하는 경우 단열효과를 높이기 위해 매질 내에서 입자가 공기층을 최대로 이룰 수 있도록 입자의 크기를 고려해야함을 제시한다.

The time to measure the size distribution using Condensation Nuclei Counter(CNC) and Differential Mobility Analyzer(DMA) can be shortened by classifying particles ramping the DMA voltage exponentially and continuously. In measurement, particles sampled at different time are mixed together going through sampling tube and CNC. Because the size distribution is inversed by using detector responses to sampling time intervals in this accelerated method, the mixing effects give inversion errors to the size distribution. The mixing effects can be considered by appling the transfer function with mixing effects to the data inversion. The inversion considering this effects gives birth to the size distribution shifted to the opposite direction of the size scanning.

A change in chemical compositions of Asian dust (AD) particles can dramatically alter their optical properties, cloud-forming properties, and health effects. The present study was undertaken to evaluate this aging of AD particles by means of two complementary methods (i.e., the traditional spot test and the most advanced micro-PIXE analytical technique) for single particle analysis. Size-classified particles were sampled at the rural peninsula of Korea (Byunsan, 35.37N; 126.27E) during AD event and non-AD period in 2004. Sulfate was principally enriched on the particles in the size range of $7.65-10.85{\mu}m$ collected during AD event. The average number fraction of coarse particles ($>2.05{\mu}m$) containing chloride was 16.2% during AD event. Relatively low particles containing nitrate compared to those containing sulfate and chloride were found in AD event. Micro-PIXE elemental maps indicated that a large number of AD particles were internally mixed with man-made zinc. The highest peaks of EC and OC concentrations were appeared at $0.01-0.43{\mu}m$ particle aerodynamic diameter. High EC concentration in $PM_1$ was might be caused by the Saemangeum Seawall Project that was being conducted during our field measurement.

A colloidal silica slurry has been manufactured by mixing nano silica powders having different grain size to improve the reliability of Sapphire wafer CMP process. The main reliability problem of CMP process such as the breaking of wafer can be prevented by reducing the size of particles in a slurry. While existing commercial colloidal silica slurries are usually made of single grain size silica powder of about 120nm, in the present study 40nm and 100nm silica powders are mixed to achieve a similar removal rate. The new colloidal silica slurry showed wafer removal rate of $3.04{\mu}m/120min$ while that of a commercial colloidal silica slurry was $3.03{\mu}m/120min$. The roughness was less than $4{\AA}$ and scratch was 0. It is also expected that the reduction of the size of nano silica particles can improve the dispersion stability and prolong the useful life of the slurry.

본 연구에서는 입경 제어가 용이하며 입자의 배열 상태가 치밀화된 매우 단분산된 실리카 미립자를 합성키 위하여 회분과 반회분의 적용 순서를 달리한 혼합 공정을 이용, TEOS(Tetraethylorthosilicate)의 가수분해로부터 실리카 미립자를 제조하였다. 실험은 회분과 반회분 각각의 공정을 회분-회분, 회분-반회분, 반회분-회분, 반회분-반회분의 네가지 형태로 순서를 바꾸어 혼합 적용하였으며, 각각의 공정에서 생성된 실리카 입자에 대하여 평균 입경, 입도분표, 수율, 그리고 입자의 치밀화 등을 측정, 비교하였다. 실험결과 최종 평균 입경과 수율은 반회분-반회분>회분-반회분>회분-회분>반회분-회분 공정의 순서로 컸으며, 입도 분포와 입자의 치밀화 정도는 회분-반회분>회분-회분>반회분-회분>반회분-반회분의 순서로 단분산되고 치밀한 결과를 보였다. 이중 반회분-회분, 반회분-반회분과 같이 반회분식으로 먼저 실험하여 입자를 생성한 경우는 두 번째 공정의 종류에 관계없이 모두 2차 핵 생성이 일어나는 결과를 보였으며, 이중 반회분-회분의 혼합 공정에 의해서 생성된 입자는 2차의 회분식 공정 단계에서 반응물이 첨가된 후 시간이 경과함에 따라 오히려 입자가 감소하는 결과를 보였다. 결과적으로 상기 네 가지 공정 중 회분-반회분 순서의 혼합 공정에 의해 생성된 실리카 미립자가 가장 단분산되고 입자의 치밀화가 양호한 상태로 쉽게 입경 제어를 할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

We applied a new charging system using the condensation and evaporation method to charge the submicron particles with a uniform charging performance. The monodispersed NaCl submicron particles were condensed by n-butanol vapor and grew up to micron droplets with a same size, regardless of their initial size. Those condensed droplets were charged in an indirect corona charger. The indirect corona charger consisted of the ion generation zone and the particle charging zone. In the ion generation zone, Ions were generated by corona discharge and some of them moved into the particle charging zone by a carrier gas and mixed with the condensed droplet. And finally, the charged and condensed droplets dried through an evaporator to shrink to their original size. The average charge and penetration rate of the particles before and after evaporation were measured by CPC and aerosol electrometer and compared with those of a conventional corona charger. The results showed that the average charge was $5\~7$ charges and the penetration rate was over $90\%$, regardless of the initial particle size.

MOW (Mixed Office Waste) mainly consisted of photocopied paper is being recycled to produce tissue or fine paper products. Toner particles that are fused and set on paper surface in photocopying process turns into large and plate-shaped particles after repulping which prevents them to be removed effectively in flotation deinking. The immediate purpose of this study is to find the effective deinking technology that increases the recycling potential of photocopied papers for manufacturing tissue and fine paper products. In this study the effects of pulping temperature and the type of hydrophobic groups of nonionic surfactants on the deinking efficiency of photocopied paper has been investigated. Particle size distribution of the toner particles after pulping and flotation, brightness, yield and ash removal were investigated. The size of toner particles after pulping increased as the pulping temperature was increased. When pulping at the low temperature finer toner particles were generated, however, greater amount of toner particles was found to attach to the fiber. When the pulping temperature was greater than Tg of the toner, the amount of coarse hairy particles increased. When nonionic surfactants with a double bond in hydrophobic groups were used, toner removal efficiency, brightness and ash removal were increased. As the addition level of surfactant was increased, yield decreased rather sharply without improving brightness.

Aluminium-silicon alloy(JIS AC8A) matrix composites reinforced with SiC particles were fabricated by spray-cast forming process, and the microstructure of powders and preforms produced were studied by using an optical and scanning electron microscopy. SiC particles were co-sprayed by mixed phase injection method during the spray casting process. Most of the composite powders formed by this mixed phase injection method exhibit morphology of particle-embedded type, and some exhibits the morphology of particle attached type due to additional attachment of the SiC particles on the surface of the powders in flight. The preforms deposited were resulted in dispersed type microstructure. The pre-solidified droplets and the deposited preform of SiC-reinforced aluminium alloy exhibit finer equiaxed grain size than that of unreinforced aluminium alloy. Eutectic silicons of granular type are crystallized at the corner of the aluminum grains in the preforms deposited, and some SiC particles seem to act as nucleation sites for primary/eutectic silicon during solidification. Such primary/eutectic silicons seem to retard grain growth during the continued spray casting process. It is envisaged from the microstructural observations for the deposited preform that the resultant distribution of SiC injected particles in the Al-Si microsturcture is affected by the amount of liquid phase in the top part of the preform and by the solidification rate of the preform deposited.
