The objective of this study was to extensively estimate the air quality trends of the study area by surveying con-centration trends in months or seasons, after analyzing the mass concentration of PM-10 samples and the inorganic lements, ion, and total carbon in PM-10. Also, the study introduced to apply the PMF (Positive Matrix Factoriza-tion) model that is useful when absence of the source profile. Thus the model was thought to be suitable in Korea that often has few information about pollution sources. After obtaining results from the PMF modeling, the existing sources at the study area were qualitatively identified The PM-10 particles collected on quartz fiber filters by a PM-10 high-vol air sampler for 3 years (Mar. 1999∼Dec.2001) in Kyung Hee University. The 25 chemical species (Al, Mn, Ti, V, Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Cd, Ba, Ce, Pb, Si, N $a^{#}$, N $H_4$$^{+}$, $K^{+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, C $l^{[-10]}$ , N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ , S $O_4$$^{2-}$, TC) were analyzed by ICP-AES, IC, and EA after executing proper pre - treatments of each sample filter. The PMF model was intensively applied to estimate the quantitative contribution of air pollution sources based on the chemical information (128 samples and 25 chemical species). Through a case study of the PMF modeling for the PM-10 aerosols. the total of 11 factors were determined. The multiple linear regression analysis between the observed PM-10 mass concentration and the estimated G matrix had been performed following the FPEAK test. Finally the regression analysis provided source profiles (scaled F matrix). So, 11 sources were qualitatively identified, such as secondary aerosol related source, soil related source, waste incineration source, field burning source, fossil fuel combustion source, industry related source, motor vehicle source, oil/coal combustion source, non-ferrous metal source, and aged sea- salt source, respectively.ively.y.

$PM_{10}$ mass were measured in Gwaebeopdong (inland) and Dongsamdong (seashore) of Busan in summer and fall, 2007 and the 24-hour averaged samples were analyzed to investigate temporal and spatial variability of metallic elements and water-soluble ions in $PM_{10}$. Overall average concentrations of $PM_{10}$ mass during the study period were 72.7 ${\mu}g/M^3$ and 64.3 ${\mu}g/M^3$ in Gwaebeopdong and Dongsamdong, respectively. As for metal elements, averaged concentrations of crustal components, Ca, Fe, K, Mn, and Ti, in Gwaebeopdong exhibited enhancement relative to Dongsamdong. Non-crustal elements, Pb and Cu, displayed elevated levels in Gwaebeopdong while Ni and Zn were observed to be high in Dongsamdong. Averaged nitrate concentration in Gwaebeopdong (6.36 ${\mu}g/M^3$) was greater than in Dongsamdong(5.68 ${\mu}g/M^3$) and both areas had higher level of nitrate in summer than in fall. Averaged sulfate concentrations in Dongsamdong (25.4%) exhibited elevated level relative to Gwaebeopdong (19.4%). Overall average contribution of water-soluble ions to $PM_{10}$ in Dongsamdong (47.5%) was higher than in Gwaebeopdong (37.8%). The average mass fractions of secondary ions in $PM_{10}$ were elevated in Dongsamdong (37.1%) as compared to Gwaebeopdong (31.4%). Equivalent ratio of [${SO_4}^{2-}/NO_3{^-}$] was seen to be lower in Gwaebeopdong (1.39) than that in Dongsamdong (1.79) and consistently higher in summer than in fall for both areas.

We synthesized new dye sensor based on indole compound. Through the UV-vis absorptions, we analyzed chemosensing properties to explain metal binding properties. The peak absorptions increased at 472 nm when added metal cations($Cd^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Hg^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$ and $Cr^{3+}$) and gradually decreased the peak at 516 nm. Thus, this UV-Vis absorption behavior clearly showed the metal binding reaction. To measure energy level of used dye sensor, HOMO/LUMO energy value was calculated with cyclovaltagramm(CV) and using computational calculation method, in which we estimated the optimum structure of dye sensor. CV and computational calculation method, both compared to find suitable geometric structure. (with almost same energy values.) From the computational calculation, dye sensor has plane structure. So, Amine and ketone in the dye sensor faced each other and makes position to bind metal cations. In addition, these positions was supported pull-push electron system and generated MLCT process, when the dye sensor was bonded with the metal cations and resulted chemosensing properties. Through the electrochemical and computational calculation method analyze, we proposed the chemosensing principles that the dye sensor bind the metal cation between ketone and amine. Finally, the formation type of metal ion bindings was determined by Job's plot measurements.

탄소나노튜브는 지금까지의 많은 연구를 통해 다양한 분야에 대한 응용 가능성이 확인되었으며, 그 중에서도 특히 탄소나노튜브를 이용한 전계방출표시소자(carbon nanotube field emission display, CNT-FED)는 상용화를 눈앞에 두고 있는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 탄소나 노튜브를 합성할 수 있는 여러 가지 방법 중에서 열화학기상증착법(thermal chemical vapor deposition, thermal CVD)을 이용하여 유리기판 위에 탄소나노튜브를 합성하였다. Electron beam evaporation으로 유리기판 위에 전극층으로 Cr을 150nm를 증착하고 연속하여 촉매층인 Invar(Fe-53%Ni-6%Co 합금)를 10nm의 두께로 형성하였다. 사진식각으로 Cr층을 line 패턴한 후 Cr line 내의 Invar층을 line 및 dot 패턴하였다. 나노튜브 합성을 위해 480-58$0^{\circ}C$까지 진공분위기 또는 질소 분위기에서 20분간 승온한 후 CO(150sccm)와 H$_2$(1200sccm)를 주입하여 20분간 성장시키고 질소 분위기에서 냉각시켰다. 성장된 탄소나노튜브는 SEM, TEM, Raman spectroscopy 등을 통하여 구조 및 형상분석을 하였다. 진공승온의 경우 탄소불순물인 a-C이 많은 양 증착 되었으며 탄소나노튜브는 온도에 따라 1-5$\mu\textrm{m}$의 두께로 성장하였으나, 질소분위기 승온의 경우는 a-C이 거의 증착되지 않았으며 나노튜브의 두께가 10-20$\mu\textrm{m}$였다. 본 연구에서는 diode구조를 갖는 탄소나노튜브 에미터의 수명예측을 위해 여러 가지 가속측정조건에서 전계방출 특성을 연구하였다. Anode와 cathode 간의 간격을 400$\mu\textrm{m}$로 유지한 diode 구조에 대해 $10^{-6}$ torr 이하의 진공에서 전계방출을 측정하였다. 100 line의 에미터를 60Hz의 주파수에서 1/100 duty로 구동하였으며, duty비 증가에 따라 pulse의 on-time을 고정하고 frequency를 변화시켰다. dc까지 duty비가 증가됨에 따라 방출전류의 양이 선형적으로 증가하였다. 전압을 일정하게 고정시키고 각 duty비에서 시간에 따라 방출전류를 측정한 결과 duty비가 높을수록 방출전류가 시간에 따라 급격히 감소하였다. 각 duty비에서 방출전류의 양이 1/2로 감소하는 시점을 에미터의 수명으로 볼 때 duty비 대 에미터 수명관계를 구해 높은 duty비에서 전계방출을 시킴으로써 실제의 구동조건인 낮은 duty비에서의 수명을 단시간에 예측할 수 있었다.

In this study, $PM_{2.5}$ samples were collected during approximately 3 years in Chuncheon, a small residential and tourist city, in Korea. The average $PM_{2.5}$ concentration was $26.9{\mu}g/m^3$, exceeding the annual national air quality standard. $PM_{2.5}$ showed typical seasonal variation, having higher concentration in winter and lower concentration in summer. Sixteen metallic elements in $PM_{2.5}$ were also analyzed, and K was the highest contributor especially in late fall and winter. In addition, K considerably increased for the top 10% of $PM_{2.5}$ samples and showed the highest correlation coefficient with $PM_{2.5}$ among all other metallic elements. These results suggest that the combustion of agricultural residue and other biomass, the major source of K was likely to be important to high $PM_{2.5}$ concentration events in this city. Crustal elements including Al, Fe, Si, Ti, Mg showed high concentration in spring while Cr, Cu and Ni were relatively consistent throughout a year. Principal component analysis was used to trace the sources, and soil re-suspension, combustion of biomass and fossil fuels, and asphalt concrete production were identified as the main sources of $PM_{2.5}$.

Concentration of heavy metals in the sediments from the sea off Jinhae and Masan have been studied. Concentration of the elements varied among the stations as the following: 0.32-0.76% Fe, 0.01-0.06% Mn, 29-120ppm Zn, 1-16ppm Co, 2-38 ppm Ni, 2.5-12.4ppm Pb and 0.2-0.7ppm Cd. General tendency of the concentraion of elements except Mn showed considerably high values at stations in the inner bay. This tendency seemed to be caused by waste water from industrial activities in the adjacent land. It can be thought that the pollution status of the studied area is still limited in the inner part of the day.

종래의 흑연 위주 연료전지 분리판에서 최근 고분자 전해질 막 연료전지가 높은 전력, 낮은 작동 온도로 자동차 산업에서 상당한 주목을 받고 있다. 분리판의 기술적 요구사항은 높은 전기 전도도, 높은 내식성, 가스 밀봉성, 경량성, 가공성, 저비용 등이다. 후보 물질로는 전기 전도성을 갖는 질화물계가 고려되고 있다. 기판으로는 스테인레스강이 가장 유력하며 Fe에 첨가된 Ni, Cr이 존재하므로 Cr 또는 CrN를 박막의 형태로 전자빔 증발법, 마그네트론 스퍼터링법으로 고속 증착하려는 시도가 있었다. 본 연구에서는, 스테인리스 강박(0.1 mm 이하)에 보호막으로 CrN을 선택하고 고속, 고품질증착을 위해서 새로운 방법인 스퍼터 승화법을 개발하였다. 박막의 품질을 개선할 수 있는 고밀도 유도 결합 플라즈마 영역 내에 Cr 소스를 직류 바이어스 함으로써 가열 및 스퍼터링이 일어나도록 하였다. 5 mTorr의 Ar 유도 결합 플라즈마를 2.4 MHz, 500 W로 유지하면서 직류 바이어스 전력을 30 W (900 V, 0.02 A) 인가하고, $N_2$의 유량을 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 SCCM로 변화를 주어 반응성 증착 공정의 결과로 얻어지는 CrN 박막의 특성을 분석하였다. N2의 유량이 증가할수록 $Cr_2N$이 감소하고, CrN이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 부식성과 접촉저항을 측정하였다. 부식 전위는 N20 SCCM 보다 모두 상승하는 것을 확인하였고, $N_21$ SCCM에서 부식 전류 밀도가 2.097E-6 (at 0.6V) $A/cm^2$로 나타났다. 접촉저항 에서는 시료 당 3군데(top, center, bottom)를 측정하였다. 전기전도도 측면에서 가장 좋은 결과는 $N_21$ SCCM 일 때 $28.8m{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$의 접촉저항을 갖는 경우였다. 미국 에너지성의 기준은 부식 전류밀도 1.E-6 $A/cm^2$이하, 접촉 저항 $0.02{\Omega}m^2$이므로 매우 근접한 결과를 보이고 있다.

The main purpose of the study was to clarify the properties of individual particles collected at each behavior space of a factory worker. The samplings of size-segregated ($PM_{2.1-1.1}$ and $PM_{4.7-3.3}$) indoor particles were conducted at three different behavior spaces of a factory worker who is engaged in an auto parts manufacturing plant (i.e., his home, his work place in factory, and his favorite restaurant). Elemental specification (i.e., relative elemental content and distribution in and/or on individual particles) was performed by a micro-PIXE system. Every element detected from the coarse particulate matters of home was classified into three groups, i.e., a group of high net-counts (Na, Al, and Si), a group of intermediate net-counts (Mg, S, Cl, K, and Ca), and a group of minor trace elements (P, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Pb). The results of EF for $PM_{4.7-3.3}$ in home indicated that several heavy metals were generated from the sources within the house itself. An exceptional feature shown in the individual particles in workplace is that Cr, Mn, and Co were clearly detected in both fine and coarse particles. Cluster analysis suggested that the individual coarse particles ($PM_{4.7-3.3}$) collected at the indoor of factory were chemically heterogeneous and they modified with sea-salt, mineral, and artificially derived elements. The principal components in individual coarse particles collected at restaurant were sea-salt and mineral without mixing with harmful trace elements like chromium and manganese. Compared to the indoor fine particles of home and restaurant, many elements, especially, Cl, Na, Cr, Mn, Pb, and Zn showed overwhelmingly high net-counts in those of factory.

Water leak phenomena in the liquid sodium which is a coolant of liquid metal reactor, were investigated by carrying out sodium-water reaction experiment. It was confirmed that sodium and water react each other by the analysis of material composition of aspecimen at the end of experiment. When steam of $100kg/cm^2$ was passed through the leak path of the specimen for 4 hours, reaction products from sodium-water reaction were observed on the leak site. However, re-opening phenomena were not observed at this condition. It was interpretted that the reaction product precipitated on leak path and thermal transient caused self-plugging and re-openning phenomena, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to survey chemical distribution of inorganic elements and ions in the submicron particles, to characterize qualitatively emitting sources by factor analysis, and finally to reveal existing patterns in terms of chemical compounds by a stepwise multiple regression analysis. Total of 141 samples were collected by a cascade impactor from 1989 to1996. Fifteen chemical species (Al, Ba, Cd, K, Pb, Cu, Fe, Ni, $Cl^-, NO_3^-, SO_4^{2-}, K^+, Mg^{2+}, Ca^{2+}, and Na^+$) were characterized by AAS and IC. The study showed that average seasonal levels of submicron particulate matters $(d_p<0.43 \mum)$ were 18.7 $\mug/m^3$ in spring, 15.5 $\mug/m^3$ in summer, 15.7 $\mug/m^3$ in fall, and 24.5 $\mug/m^3$ in winter, respectively. All of the anion concentrations in the particle were highest in the winter season. By applying a factor analysis, 5 source patterns were qualitatively obtained, such as sulfate related source, nitrate related source, oil burning source, calcium related source, and coal combustion source. Finally, when applying a stepwise multiple regression analysis, the results clearly showed that $Na^+ and Ca^{2+}, K^+ and Ca^{2+}, NO_3^-$ and relative humidity, $Cl^-$ and ambient temperature, $Ca^{2+} and Cl^-, Mg^{2+} and SO_4^{2-}, Na^+ and NO_3^-, and Ca^{2+} and NO_3^-$, respectively, are negatively contributed to each other. As a result of those statistical analysis, we could suggest that some chemical compounds in the submicron particles such as$NaNO_3, MgSO_4, Ca(NO_3)_2, and CaCl_2$ may not exist on the filter as final composing products; however, other compounds may possibly exist in the form of $Mg(NO_3)_2, CaSO_4, Na_2SO_4, K_2SO_4, MgCl_2, NaCl, and KCl$. Thus, it must be necessary to identify differences between the results of above statistical analysis and of the real world by laboratory experiments.
