The scope of this work investigates the relationship between the amount of oxygen-functional groups and hydrogen adsorption capacity with different concentrations of phosphoric acid. The amount of oxygen-functional groups of activated carbons (ACs) is characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The effects of chemical treatments on the pore structures of ACs are investigated by $N_2$/77 K adsorption isotherms. The hydrogen adsorption capacity is measured by $H_2$ isothermal adsorption at 298 K and 100 bar. In the results, the specific surface area and pore volume slightly decreased with the chemical treatments due to the pore collapsing behaviors, but the hydrogen storage capacity was increased by the oxygen-functional group characteristics of AC surfaces, resulting from enhanced electron acceptor-donor interaction at interfaces.

We developed an algorithm to simulate the generation of virtual nanowebs using the Monte Carlo method. To evaluate the pore size of the simulated multi-layered nanoweb, an estimation algorithm was developed using a ghost particle having zero volume and mass. The penetration time of the ghost particle through the virtual nanoweb was dependent on the pore size. By using iterative ghost particle penetrations, we obtained reliable data for the evaluation of the pore size and distribution of the virtual nanowebs. The penetration time increased with increasing number of layers and area ratio, whereas it decreased with increasing fiber diameter. Dimensional analysis showed that the penetration time can be expressed as a function of the fiber diameter, area ratio and number of layers.

Porous media containing complex fluid passage have especially large surface area per unit volume. This study is aimed to identify the heat transfer characteristics of high-porosity metal foams in a horizontal channel. Experiment is performed under various heat flux, velocity and pore density. Nusselt number decreases with higher pore density. Metal foams shows higher heat transfer coefficients than pin-fin structure with the same porosity. This is due to the more complex flow passage and larger heat transfer area based on the structure of the metal foams. The analysis on the pin-fin structure may not be suitable to the metal foam structure but should be identified extensively through further study.

Hydrogen adsorption on various porous materials have been studied with a volumetric method at low temperature in the pressure of 0-760 torr. Their hydrogen uptakes depend at least partly on microporosity rather than total porosity. However, it is also necessary to consider other parameters such as pore size and pore architecture to explain the adsorption capacity. The heat of adsorption and adsorption-desorption-readsorption experiments show that the hydrogen adsorption over the porous materials are composed of physisorption with negligible contribution of chemisorption. Among the porous materials studied in this work, SAPO-34 has the highest adsorption capacity of 160 mL/g at 77 K and 1 atm probably due to high micropore surface area, micropore volume and narrow pore diameter.

Mesoporous silica was prepared from hydrothermal synthesis using gel mixture of tetraethylorthosilcate (TEOS) as silica source and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMABr) as a surfactant. In the optimum synthesis cause, molar ratio of template and silica changed. The surface and structure properties of mesoporous silica were determined by XRD, SEM, TEM and BET. Also, surface potential of mesoporous silica was measured using zeta potential. $N_2$ adsorption isotherm characteristics, including the specific surface area ($S_{BET}$), total pore volume $V_T$), and average pore diameter ($D_{BJH}$), were determined by BET. As a result, SBET of $100m^2/g{\sim}1500m^2/g$ was determined from the $N_2$ adsorption isotherm. Also, the average pore diameter was 2 nm∼4 nm. Mesoporous silica's surface potential of minus charge was determined from zeta potential.

이상의 실험 결과로부터 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. $TiO_2-SiO_2-AL_2O_3-B_2O_3-CaO-Na_2O$계에서 분상을 일으켰을 때 $600^{\circ}C$, 6시간 열처리시켰을 때 최대의 비표면적을 나타냈다. 2. 저온에서 열처리 시간이 증가하면 비표면적은 증가하고 고온에서는 열처리 시간이 증가하면 비표면적은 감소하다가 다시 증가한다. 3. 상분리 및 비표면적은 열처리 시간보다 열처리 온도에 더욱 민감하였다.

원예용 배지의 물리화학적 특성을 파악하기 위해 전세계적으로 다양한 분석 방법이 사용되고 있다. 유럽은 배지 분석방법의 표준화 연구를 지속적으로 수행해왔다. 유럽표준화 위원회에서는 유럽표준방법으로 CEN methods를 최종안까지 제출하였으며 사실상 유럽표준 배지분석방법의 제정을 확립하는 단계에 있다. 물리적 특성 중 건물함량과 수분함량은 건조 후 분석하였고, 실험 가밀도는 일정한 부피에 채워진 시료의 무게로 측정하였다. 가밀도, 진밀도, 공극률, 액상, 기상, 부피 감소율은 double ring과 sand suction table이라는 장치를 사용하여 배지를 포화, 배수시킨 후 건조시켜 분석하였다. 화학적 특성 중 pH와 EC는 부피 기준 1:5로 침출하여 분석하였다. 유기물과 회분함량은 건조와 연소 과정을 통해 분석하였다. CEN methods는 유럽표준방법으로 확립을 앞두고 있으나 더 지속적인 연구가 필요할 것이다.

Seed 유화 중합법과 용매 추출법을 이용하여 전도성 고분자 복합체를 위한 다공성 입자를 제조하였다. 건조된 다공성 입자를 모체 고분자로 사용하여 dopant로 사용하는 $FeCl_3$를 methanol에 녹여 흡수시킨 뒤에 건조시키고, 이를 다시 pyrrole를 녹인 ethyl ether 용액으로 중합하여 용액을 증발시킴으로서 전도성 고분자 복합체를 합성하였다. 이때, 모체 고분자로 사용된 비다공성 입자와 다공성 입자의 전도도를 비교하였다. 실험결과, 전도성 복합체의 전도도는 비다공성 입자보다는 다공성 입자를 사용하여 제조한 복합체가 전도성 중합체가 입자의 표면뿐만 아니라 pore안에서도 용이하게 형성되어 더 우수한 전도도를 나타내었다.

Earthquakes not only produce additional load on the structures and underlying soil, but also change the strength characteristics of the soil. Therefore, in order to analyze soil structures for stability, the behaviour after earthquake must be considered. In this paper, a series of cyclic triaxial tests and monotonic triaxial tests were carried out to investigate the undrained shear strength and liquefaction strength characteristics of Nak-Dong River sand soils which were subjected to cyclic loading. The sample was consolidated in the first stage and then subjected to stress controlled cyclic loading with 0.1Hz. After the cyclic loading, the cyclic-induced excess pore water pressure was dissipated by opening the drainage valve and the sample was reconsolidated to the initial effective mean principal stress(p/sub c/'). After reconsolidation, the monotonic loading or cyclic loading were applied to the specimen. In the results, the undrained shear strength and liquefaction strength characteristics depended on the pore pressure ratio(Ur=U/p/sub c/'). The volume change following reconsolidation can be a function of cyclic-induced excess pore water pressure and the maximum double amplitude of axial strain.

Titania gel formations were prepared by sol-gel method using titanium(IV) chloride $(TiCl_4)$, and its characteristics were analyzed by varying the $epoxide/TiCl_4$ ratio and the amount of water In the end, titania $(TiO_2)$ aerogel were prepared using supercritical drying process. VOCs such as benzene, toluene, and m-xylene (BTX) were oxidized using prepared titania aerogel and commercially available $TiO_2$, and its performance was compared. The surface area, pore volume, and average pore diameter of 1,2-epoxybutane are significantly smaller than the propylene oxide. And the titania aerogels with 6 moi of epoxides have high surface areas, pore volumes, and average pore diameters. As a result of photo-oxidation, conversion of benzene was reached about $70\%$, and other reactants were reached about $60\%$ similarly. The conversion of BTX was increased as inlet concentration decreased. The reactivity of titania calcined at $600^{\circ}C$ was greater than $400^{\circ}C$ and $800^{\circ}C$. Water is required as a reactants for the oxidation of VOCs, and the continuous consumption of hydroxyl radicals required replenishments to maintain catalyst activity. The activity ratio increased with increasing reaction time when enough amount of water was present in the reactor.
