Microstructural design of ceramics has generally focused on information gathered at the micro- and macro-scales and related this to how specific properties could be improved. Ceramic processing serves as the key to optimizes the final microstructure. However, the advent of nano-scale microstructures and highly advanced characterization tools are forcing us to develop new knowledge of what is occurring not just at the micro-scale but also at the atomic level. Thus we are now beginning to be able to address how microstructure is influenced by events at the atomic scale using atomic scale images and data. Theoreticians have joined us in interpreting the mechanisms involved in the "microstructural" evolution at multiple scales and how this can be used to enhance specific properties of ceramics. The focus here is on delving into the various layers the "microstructure" in order understand how atomic-scale events influence the structure and properties of ceramics.

Structural changes of an iron phthalocyanine (FePC) monolayer induced by adsorption and externally applied potential on high area carbon surface have been investigated in situ by iron K-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) in 0.5 M $H_2S0_4.$ Fine structures shown in the X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) for microcrystalline FePC decreased upon adsorption and further diminished under electrochemical conditions. Fe(II)PC(-2) showed a 1s ${\rightarrow}$ 4p transition as poorly resolved shoulder to the main absorption edge rather than a distinct peak and a weak 1s ${\rightarrow}$ 3d transition. The absorption edge position measured at half maximum was shifted from 7121.8 eV for Fe(lI)PC(-2) to 7124.8 eV for $[Fe(III)PC(-2)]^+$ as well as the 1s ${\rightarrow}$ 3d pre-edge peak being slightly enhanced. However, essentially no absorption edge shift was observed by the 1-electron reduction of Fe(Il)PC(-2), indicating that the species formed is $[Fe(II)PC(-3)]^-$. Structural parameters were obtained by analyzing extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) oscillations with theoretical phases and amplitudes calculated from FEFF 6.01 using multiple-scattering theory. When applied to the powder FePC, the average iron-to-phthalocyanine nitrogen distance, d(Fe-$N_p$) and the coordination number were found to be 1.933 $\AA$ and 3.2, respectively, and these values are the same, within experimental error, as those reported ( $1.927\AA$ and 4). Virtually no structural changes were found upon adsorption except for the increased Debye-Wailer factor of $0.005\AA^2$ from $0.003\AA^2.$ Oxidation of Fe(II)PC(-2) to $[Fe(III)PC(-2)]^+$ yielded an increased d(Fe-Np) (1 $.98\AA)$ and Debye-Wailer factor $(0.005\AA^2).$ The formation of $[Fe(II)PC(-3)]^-$, however, produced a shorter d(Fe-$N_p$) of $1.91\AA$ the same as that of crystalline FePC within experimental error, and about the same DebyeWaller $factor(0.006\AA^2)$.

This study was conducted to investigate the removal characteristics of heavy metals and sulfate ion from acid mine drainage by porous zeolite-slag ceramics (ZS ceramics) that was prepared by adding wood flour as pore-foaming agent while calcining the mixtures of natural zeolite and converter slag. The batch test showed that the removal efficiency of heavy metals by pellet-type porous ZS ceramics increased as the particle size of wood flour was decreased and as the weight mixing ratio of wood flour to ZS ceramics was increased. The optimal particle size and weight mixing ratio of wood flour were measured to be $75{\mu}m$ and 7~10%, respectively. The removal test with the porous ZS ceramics prepared in these optimal condition showed very high removal efficiencies: more than 98.4% for all heavy metals and 73.9% for sulfate ion. Relative to nonporous ZS ceramics, the increment of removal efficiency of heavy metals by porous ZS ceramics with $75{\mu}m$ and 10% wood flour was 5.8%, 60.5%, 36.9%, 87.7%, 10.3%, and 57.4% for Al, Cd, Cu, Mn, Pb, and Zn, respectively. The mechanism analysis of removal by the porous ZS ceramics suggested that the heavy metals and sulfate ion from acid mine drainage are eliminated by multiple reactions such as adsorption and/or ion exchange as well as precipitation and/or co-precipitation.

This research was conducted to elucidate the removal mechanism of heavy metals and sulfate ion from acid mine drainage(AMD) by porous zeolite-slag ceramics (ZS ceramics) packed in a column reactor system. The average removal efficiencies of heavy metals and sulfate ion from AMD by the 1:3(Z:S) porous ZS ceramics in the column reactor under the HRT condition of 24 hours were Al 97.5%, As 98.8%, Cd 86.1%, Cu 96.2%, Fe 99.7%, Mn 64.1%, Pb 97.2%, Zn 66.7%, and $SO_4{^{2-}}$ 76.0% during 121 days of operation time. The XRD analysis showed that the ferric iron from AMD could be removed by adsorption and/or ion-exchange on the porous ZS ceramics. In addition it was known that Al, As, Cu, Mn, and Zn could adsorb or coprecipitate on the surface of Fe precipitates such as schwertmannite, ferrihydrite, or goethite. The EDS analysis revealed that Al, Fe, and Mn, which were of relatively high concentration in the AMD, would be adsorbed and/or ion-exchanged on the porous ZS ceramics and also exhibited that Al, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn could be precipitated as the form of metal hydroxide or sulfate and adsorbed or coprecipitated on the surface of Fe precipitates. The microscopic results on the porous ZS ceramics and precipitated sludge in a column reactor system suggested that the heavy metals and sulfate ion from AMD would be eliminated by the multiple mechanisms of coprecipitation, adsorption, ion-exchange as well as precipitation.

This study was designed to investigate effects of relative humidity on the breakthrough of charcoal tubes at a fixed vapor concentration and sampling time during mixed organic vapor sampling. A vapor generator was used to generate three different concentrations of mixed organic vapor and a stainless steel chamber was fabricated and utilized to maintain three different percentages of relative humidity while maintaining a constant temperature. The results were as follows; 1. At high relative humidity, breakthrough of mixed organic vapor occurred quickly at low vapor concentration than at high vapor concentration because of the reduced adsorption volume of charcoal tube due to humidity. 2. Breakthrough by competitive adsorption of vapors onto charcoal tube was observed at first from n-hexane having the lowest boiling point and highest vapor pressure among the three organic vapors investigated, followed by TCE. No breakthrough was observed from toluene under all experimental conditions. 3. For n-hexane, breakthrough was observed after 2 hours of sampling and breakthrough rates were increased as relative humidity increased. For TCE, breakthrough was found after 3 hours of sampling and breakthrough rates by sampling time were increased as vapor concentration increased. 4. The adsorbed amount of mixed organic vapor at breakthrough was shown to have statistically significant correlations with sampling time, relative humidity, and vapor concentration in descending order of correlation. Relative humidity and sampling time for n-hexane and sampling time and concentration for TCE were both statistically significantly correlated. 5. Relative humidity was found to affect the amount of breakthrough of mixed organic vapor and n-hexane. Among three percentages of relative humidity investigated, the amount of breakthrough at 85 % relative humidity was significantly larger than those of at lower percentages of relative humidity. No statistically significant difference was found between 25 % and 55 % relative humidity. 6. The results of multiple regression analysis between breakthrough and relative humidity, vapor concentrations showed that the coefficient of determination of mixed organic vapor was 0.263 and those of n-hexane and TCE were 0.275 and 0.189, respectively. 7. Flow rates of sampling pumps used were found to be affected by relative humidity present. At 25 %, 55 %, and 85 % relative humidity, the relative errors of sampling pump were 1.4 %, 13.4 %, and 18.6 %, respectively. In conclusion, the results of this study showed that high relative humidity could reduce the adsorption volume of charcoal tubes and subsequently increase breakthrough rates. Therefore, to prevent breakthrough when sampling mixed organic vapors, it is suggested that either sampling volume be reduced on the flow rate be lowered so as to minimize breakthrough of the most volatile organic vapor in the mixture. In addition, since the flow rates of a sampling pump can be adversely affected by high relative humidity, it is recommended to use a constant flow mode pump when sampling in the highly humid environment.

본 논문은 다양한 시설내에 적은 농도의 $CO_2$ 제거를 위한 선택적 $CO_2$ 흡수능력을 향상시킨 흡착제의 효율평가에 관한 것이다. 직경 4mm의 구형 흡착제는 시판용 제올라이트에 첨가제, 물, 바인더, LiOH를 섞어 제조하였다. 칼럼테스트에서 400분 이내에 90% 이상의 $CO_2$흡착효율을 나타내었고, 흡착필터모듈 흡착능력을 평가하기 위해 회분식과 연속식타입의 챔버테스트가 시행되었다. 회분식테스트에서 30분 이내에 약 92%의 $CO_2$가 제거되는 것을 확인하였다. 연속식테스트에서 30분 이내 70%의 $CO_2$가 제거효율을 보였으며, 2,500ppm 이상의 $CO_2$가 제거되는 것을 확인하였다. 재현성테스트를 수차례 수행한 결과 15일동안 1,000ppm 이상의 $CO_2$가 연속적으로 제거됨을 보였다. TGA 분석법을 이용한 흡착량 분석에서 흡착제 g당 5.0mmol의 $CO_2$를 흡착하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 개발된 흡착제는 상온에서 저농도 $CO_2$ 실내환경에 적용가능한 것으로 판단된다.

Shallow coal resources are increasingly depleted, the mining has entered the deep stage. Due to "High stress, high gas, strong adsorption and low permeability" of coal seam, the gas drainage has become more difficult and the probability of coal and gas outburst accident increases. Based on the flow solid coupling theory of coal seam gas, the coupling model about stress and gas seepage of coal seam was set up by solid module and Darcy module in Comsol Multiphysics. The gas extraction effects were researched after applying hydraulic technology to increase permeability. The results showed that the effective influence radius increases with the expanded borehole radius and drainage time, decreases with initial gas pressure. The relationship between the effective influence radius and various factors presents in the form: $y=a+{\frac{b}{\left(1+{(\frac{x}{x_0})^p}\right)}}$. The effective influence radius with multiple boreholes is obviously larger than that of the single hole. According to the actual coal seam and gas geological conditions, appropriate layout way was selected to achieve the best effect. The field application results are consistent with the simulation results. It is found that the horizontal stress plays a very important role in coal seam drainage effect. The stress distribution change around the drilling hole will lead to the changes in porosity of coal seam, further resulting in permeability evolution and finally gas pressure distribution varies.

일상에서 그대로 폐기되고 있는 달걀껍질을 폐수처리에 이용하기 위하여 물성조사와 기초적인 흡착 및 중화실험을 수행하였다. 달걀껍질의 특성파악 및 온도에 따른 물성 변화를 검토하기 위하여 각각 $105^{\circ}C$와 $700^{\circ}C$에서 처리한 시료의 용도에 따른 구조변화를 FT-IR 분석법 및 X-선 회절법을 이용하여 검토하였다. FT-IR 분석결과, $700^{\circ}C$에서 달걀껍질의 주성분인 $CaCO_3$의 열분해에 따른 $CO_2$의 방출로 인해 $105^{\circ}C$의 경우와는 달리 C-O absorption band 의 감소가 관찰되었고, X-선 회절분석에서는 $700^{\circ}C$에서는 $105^{\circ}C$의 경우와 거의 유사한 $CaCO_3$ 특성 peak가 나타났으며 $CaCO_3$가 CaO로 완전히 전환되는 온도인 $850^{\circ}C$에서 처리한 시료에 대해 CaO 특성 회절스펙트럼이 관찰되었다. TGA/DTA 분석에 있어서는 약 $600^{\circ}C$에 이르기까지는 무게 감량이 서서히 진행되다가 $600{\sim}800^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 무게감량이 급격히 진행되었으며 그 이상의 온도에서는 무게감량이 더 이상 진행되지 않았다. 또한, 무게감량이 급격히 진행되는 온도구간에서 주된 흡열 peak가 형성되어 $CO_2$ 방출에 따른 열적 특성이 파악되었다. 달걀껍질의 고정층에 의한 연속흡착 실험 결과, 파과시간의 비, 총괄 이동 단위수, 그리고 물질전달계수 등이 column이 진행됨에 따라 그 값이 증가함이 관찰되어 연속흡착에 따른 물질전달의 분배효과를 관찰할 수 있었다. 산성폐수에 대한 중화효과의 경우에 있어서는 각 무기산의 경우 상호 유사한 경향이 나타났으나 $H_2SO_4$의 경우 중화산물인 $CaSO_4$의 형성으로 인해 중화효과가 감소되는 것으로 사료되었다.

혈류 내에서 리포솜의 안정성을 향상시키기 위해 지질-고분자 유도체를 지질 이중층에 도입하거나 친수성 고분자를 리포솜에 결합시켜 리포솜의 표면을 개질하는 방법이 개발되어왔다. 본 연구에서는 비닐 단량체로서 히드록시에틸메타크릴레이트(HEMA)와 히드록시폴리옥시에틸렌메타크릴레이트(HPOEM)를 자유 라디칼 중합하여 측쇄에 다수의 폴리에틸렌옥사이드를 갖는 빗(Comb) 모양 공중합체인 poly(HEMA-co-HPOEM)를 제조하였다. Poly(HEMA-co-HPOEM)를 리포솜의 표면에 결합시키고 혈장 용액 내에서 개질된 리포솜의 특성을 살펴보았다. Poly(HEMA-co-HPOEM)으로 개질된 리포솜의 입자크기는 대조군 리포솜에 비해 약 30 nm 증가하였고 리포솜 표면의 음전하를 차폐하여 제타 포텐셜의 절대값은 감소하였다. 리포솜 내부에 모델약물인 독소루비신(Doxorubicin)의 로딩효율은 ~ 90%로서 리포솜 표면에 결합된 poly(HEMA-co-HPOEM)는 약물의 로딩효율에 영향을 주지 않았다. 혈장 내에서 리포솜의 안정성을 평가한 결과, 빗 모양 고분자로 수식한 리포솜의 입자크기는 증가하지 않았고 단백질 흡착은 대조군 리포솜 또는 폴리에틸렌옥사이드-지질 유도체가 도입된 리포솜(PEG-리포솜)에 비해 감소되어 빗 모양 고분자인 poly(HEMA-co-HPOEM)이 혈류 내 리포솜의 안정성 향상에 효과적임을 확인하였다.
