Expanded graphite (EG) was prepared using a drying process for application as an oil-adsorbent: the morphology, expansion volume, and oil absorption capacity of the EG were investigated. The expanded volume of the EG increased with an increasing reaction time and heat treatment temperature. The oil adsorption capacity of the EG was 45 g of n-dodecane per 1 g of EG. It is noted that the drying process of EG is a useful technique for a new oil-adsorbent.

본 논문에서는 암모니아/물 흡수식 시스템의 흡수성능 촉진에 대한 나노액적의 영향을 파악하고 흡수성능과 분산안정성의 상관관계를 규명함으로써 흡수식 시스템에 대한 이성분 나노에멀전유체의 적용가능성을 제시하고자 한다. 이성분 나노에멀전 유체는 암모니아/물 용액을 모유체로 하며, N-decane 오일을 모유체에 분산시키기 위하여 $C_{12}E_4$와 Tween20을 첨가제로 사용하였다. 이성분 나노에멀전유체의 안정적인 분산을 위하여 교반과정과 초음파 처리과정을 거쳤으며, 이렇게 분산된 유체는 입도측정과 틴들현상 분석을 통해 분산안정성 평가를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 이성분 나노에멀전 유체의 흡수성능 및 열전달 성능에 대한 분산안정성의 영향 및 흡수식 시스템으로의 적용가능성을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 폴리아크릴로니트릴계 탄소나노섬유 스펀지의 제조 및 오일 흡착 거동을 조사하였다. 제조된 탄소나노섬유 스펀지는 물과 기름의 혼합용액에서 우수한 선택적 오일 흡착 능력을 보였으며, 탄소나노섬유 스펀지의 재사용시 흡착 능력도 확인하였다. 또한, 흡착제 내부구조에 정렬된 채널을 형성함으로써, 모세관 현상에 의하여 빠른 오일 흡착 거동을 보이는 탄소나노섬유 스펀지를 제조할 수 있었다. 이후 사용 폐기된 탄소나노섬유 스펀지는 질소 분위기에서 800℃로 열처리하여, 4-아미노페놀의 전기화학적 검출을 위한 센서로의 가능성을 검토하였다.

본 연구는 수소화물 발생장치가 부착된 원자흡광 광도계 (HG-AAS)를 이용하여 비교적 고농도의 Se을 함유하고 있는 석유정제 폐수의 Se 분석을 위하여 적합한 분석조건을 선정하고자 수행되었다. Se(VI)의 Se(IV)로의 환원 실험에서 폐수량 10 mL, 염산 주입량 10 mL, 가열시간 30분이 최적 환원조건으로 결정되었다. 폐수의 조성성분과 유기물의 농도가 높은 경우에는 Se 회수율이 감소하였다. 따라서 3가지 산분해법 ($HNO_3/HClO_4$ 분해, $KMnO_4$ 분해 및 초단파 산분해)에 의한 유기물, 석유화합물 분해 및 유기성 Se(org.), Se(IV) 산화에 따른 Se 회수율을 검토하였다. 실험결과 산분해전 약 50~80%이었던 Se 회수율은 모든 산분해에서 90%이상이었으며 특히, 초단파 산분해에 의한 Se 회수율이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 HG-AAS를 이용한 석유정제 폐수의 Se 분석시에는 초단파 산분해후 염산 처리를 하는 전처리 과정이 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: Body adiposity is negatively correlated with hepatic iron status, and Korean pine nut oil (PNO) has been reported to reduce adiposity. Therefore, we aimed to study the effects of PNO on adiposity, hepatic mineral status, and the expression of genes and proteins involved in iron absorption. Methods: Five-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were fed a control diet containing 10% kcal from PNO (PC) or soybean oil (SBO; SC), or a high-fat diet (HFD) containing 35% kcal from lard and 10% kcal from PNO (PHFD) or SBO (SHFD). Hepatic iron, copper, and zinc content; and expression of genes and proteins related to iron absorption were measured. Results: HFD-fed mice had a higher white fat mass (2-fold; p < 0.001), lower hepatic iron content (25% lower; p < 0.001), and lower hepatic Hamp (p = 0.028) and duodenal Dcytb mRNA levels (p = 0.037) compared to the control diet-fed mice. Hepatic iron status was negatively correlated with body weight (r = -0.607, p < 0.001) and white fat mass (r = -0.745, p < 0.001). Although the PHFD group gained less body weight (18% less; p < 0.05) and white fat mass (18% less; p < 0.05) than the SHFD group, the hepatic iron status impaired by the HFD feeding did not improve. The expression of hepatic and duodenal ferroportin protein was not affected by the fat amount or the oil type. PNO-fed mice had significantly lower Slc11a2 (p = 0.022) and Slc40a1 expression (p = 0.027) compared to SBO-fed mice. However, the PC group had a higher Heph expression than the SC group (p < 0.05). The hepatic copper and zinc content did not differ between the four diet groups, but hepatic copper content adjusted by body weight was significantly lower in the HFD-fed mice compared to the control diet-fed mice. Conclusion: HFD-induced obesity decreased hepatic iron storage by affecting the regulation of genes related to iron absorption; however, the 18% less white fat mass in the PHFD group was not enough to improve the iron status compared to the SHFD group. The hepatic copper and zinc status was not altered by the fat amount or the oil type.

Power transformer insulation oil is critical to the useful life of the transformer. Although mineral base insulation oil is the most common type of transformer insulation oil in use, environmental and safety concerns has encouraged the development of biodegradable alternatives. Today, $Envirotemp^{(R)}\;FR3^{TM}$ is in commercial use and this study is aimed at ascertaining the possibility of applying the oil in Malaysia power transformers. A sample of $Envirotemp^{(R)}\;FR3^{TM}$ was tested to measure and compare the technical (including electrical, chemical and physical) properties of the oil according to Malaysian standards. The study found that the oil sample had better qualities, such as higher dielectric strength, lower dissipation factor, higher flash and fire points, higher moisture absorption capability, and less dissolved gases composition amongst others. However, it was also ascertained that further development in this area could be hindered due to Malaysia's lack of standards for biodegradable oil.

Oil deflector prevents oil leakage that occurs in thermoelectric power plant at operating lubricant facilities. Vibration of rotating rotor-induced wear of aluminum tooth in existing oil deflector leads to oil leakage as well as life shortening of the tooth. In this study, an advanced oil deflector was developed for shock absorption and prevention of wear by decreasing clearance (from 0.5 mm to 0.2 mm) between rotor and tooth to minimize oil leakage, and by replacing 2 aluminum teeth in outmost of the oil deflector with hi-performance seal made of engineering plastic. The CFD results were compared between advanced vs. existing oil deflector to determine the amount of oil loss. Structural safety was verified through impact analyses according to the three kinds of engineering plastics, considering cost efficiency, and optimal material of hi-performance seal was chosen.

The bioavailabilities of baicalin in water, oil, w/o and o/w emulsion were evaluated in rats. The dissolution rate of baicalin in o/w emulsion was smaller than those of w/o form in dilute hydrochloric acid solution (pH 1.2) and in PBS (pH 6.8). The absorption rate of baicalin from w/o emulsion was smaller than that of o/w emulsion in the different parts of rat intestine of the rats. Following oral administration in rats, the $C_{max}$ of baicalin from water phase, oil phase, o/w wand w/o emulsion were 2.11, 0.61, 1.57, and $1.35\;{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. The relative bioavailability of w/o emusion was 129 % when it was compared with water phase. This result suggests that the improvement of bioavailability for baicalin in w/o emulsion might be practically available.

In this study the properties of Yackwa partially replaced wheat flour with black rice flour were examined in the three factors: the physicochemical, the textural and the sensory. When the amount of black rice flour increased, dehydration and oil absorption of Yackwa decreased while frying it. The color of black rice flour Yackwa was darker yellowish than that of wheat flour Yackwa. When black rice flour was added more in making Yackwa, the results are as follows: first, its hardness increased, second, the external and internal color of Yackwa got significantly darker, finally, its greasiness decreased. As a result, up to 20% of wheat flour may be replaced with black rice flour without diminishing acceptability.

For the development of multi-functional materials which has water reducing power, air entraining power and waterproofing power as well as blending additive in cement mortar the coal ash was modified with asphalt-stearic acid or asphalt-boiled oil mixtures by mechanical treatment. And the physical properties of cement mortar blended with modified coal ashes were compared with those of the water-tightness-cement mortar and the ordinary-portland-cement mortar added with AE.water reducing agent. The mortar of coalash-blend-cement modified with asphalt-stearic mixture was increased acid about 20% in initial strengths and decreased about 20% in water absorption ratio than those of ordinary coalash-blend-cement. The mortar of coalash-blend-cement modified with asphalt-bolied oil mixture was similar to the cement mortar added with AE.water reducing agent in water reduction ratio, air entraining conents and the initial strengths, also was similar to the water-tightness-cement mortar in water absorption and water permeability ratios.
