최근 천연가스 개발의 중요성이 대두되면서 심해저 퇴적층에 존재하고 있는 천연가스 하이드레이트 개발에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 심해저 퇴적층에 부존하는 가스 하이드레이트 조건과 유사하게 하기위해 3 wt% 농도의 염수를 다공성 실리카 젤 기공에 넣어 사용하였다. 기공의 직경에 따른 영향을 알아보기 위해 기공 직경이 각각 6.0, 15.0, 30.0 nm인 실리카 젤을 사용하여, 천연가스 주성분인 에탄, 프로판, 메탄+프로판 하이드레이트의 3상 (H-Lw-V) 평형을 측정하였다. 그 결과 기공의 크기가 작아질수록 각각의 벌크 상태의 에탄, 프로판, 메탄+프로판 하이드레이트에 비해 하이드레이트의 평형조건이 온도는 낮아지고 압력이 높아지는 저해효과가 커짐을 알 수 있었다. 실험값으로 부터 기공 내의 물과 하이드레이트상 사이의 계면장력 값을 Gibbs-Thomson식에 의해 구할 수 있으며, 열역학 계산을 통하여 실험값과 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과는 심해저 천연가스 개발, 이산화탄소 심해저장 등의 가스 하이드레이트 응용 연구에 유용한 기초 자료가 될 것이다.

최근 새로운 천연가스 수송/저장법으로 가스 하이드레이트 형성법이 주목받고 있다.본 연구에서는 천연가스의 저장 매체로 다공성 매질인 실리카 젤을 사용하였다. 다공성 실리카 젤을 사용할 경우 물과 기체의 접촉면적을 극대화 시킬 수 있어 가스하이드레이로의 전환율을 높일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 천연가스 주성분인 에탄과 프로판 기체를 사용하였으며, 기공의 직경이 각각 6.0 nm, 15.0 nm, 30.0 nm, 100.0 nm의 다공성 실리카 젤을 사용하였다. 에탄은 270 $\sim$ 285 K의 온도범위와 9 $\sim$ 25 bar의 압력범위, 프로판은 260 $\sim$ 280 K의 온도범위와 1.8 $\sim$ 2.8 bar의 압력범위에서 기공 크기의 분포를 고려하여 하이드레이트(H)-물($L_W$)-기상(V)의 3상 평형점을 측정하였다. 측정 결과 기공의 크기가 작아질수록 각각의 벌크 상태의 에탄 및 프로판 하이드레이트에 비해 하이드레이트의 평형조건이 온도는 낮아지고 압력이 높아지는 저해효과가 커짐을 알 수 있었다. 천연가스 수송/저장으로서 응용을 고려할 경우 저해효과가 적은 100.0 nm이상의 다공성 실리카 젤을 사용하는 것이 적절할 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과는 천연가스 수송/저장뿐만 아니라 심해저 천연가스 개발, 이산화탄소 심해저장 등의 가스 하이드레이트 용용 연구에도 유용한 기초 자료가 될 것이다.

In this study, specimens with nano-sized porous thin films were manufactured by injecting fluorescence solution into the pores. We intended to find out the difference of the fluorescence intensity in each region of the specimen through an experimental apparatus that makes a temperature field. Before conducting experiments, the optimized manufacturing conditions were determined by analysis of all parameters that influence the emission intensity, and the experiments were carried out with the specimens produced in the optimized conditions. Then, the calibration curves of the fluorescence intensity versus temperature were performed by taking the intensity distributions from the specimen in various temperature fields. The surfaces of specimens were coated with Rhodamine-B (Rh-B) fluorescent dye and measured based on the fluorescence intensity. Silica (SiO2) nanoporous structure with 1-um thickness was constructed on a cover glass, and fluorescence dye was absorbed into these porous thin films.

We present a non-invasive technique to the measure temperature distribution in nano-sized porous thin films by means of the two-color laser-induced fluorescence (2-LIF) of rhodamine B. The fluorescence induced by the green line of a mercury lamp with the makeup of optical filters was measured on two separate color bands. They can be selected for their strong difference in the temperature sensitivity of the fluorescence quantum yield. This technique allows for absolute temperature measurements by determining the relative intensities on two adequate spectral bands of the same dye. To measure temperature fields, Silica (SiO2) nanoporous structure with 1-um thickness was constructed on a cover glass, and fluorescent dye was absorbed into these porous thin films. The calibration curves of the fluorescence intensity versus temperature were measured in a temperature range of $10-60^{\circ}C$, and visualization and measurement of the temperature field were performed by taking the intensity distributions from the specimen for the temperature field.

The electrical properties of porous $SiO_2/ITO$ nano thin film were studied by complex impedance and conductive mechanisms were analyzed. According to the results of complex impedance, the activation energy of $SiO_2/ITO$ and $Zn-SiO_2/ITO$ were 0.309 eV, 0.077 eV in below $450^{\circ}C$ and 0.147 eV in over $450^{\circ}C$, respectively. In case of $SiO_2/ ITO$, slightly direct tunneling occurred at room temperature. The contribution for conduction was very tiny because of high barrier of silica. However, the conductivity abruptly increased in over $300^{\circ}C$ by Thermally assisted tunneling. In case of $Zn-SiO_2/ITO$, high conductivity in 1.26 ${\Omega}^{ -1}{cdot}cm^{-1}$ at room temperature appeared by space charge conduction or Frenkel-poole emission that Zn ions play a role as localized electron states.

In these several years, as many people have been attracted by the functional cosmetics, there are a lot of study to enhance the stability of active ingredients for light, heat, oxygen, etc. in the academic and industrial field. Especially, catechin is well known as strong anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and reducing agent for oxidative stress but it is very unstable for light, heat, oxygen. etc. In this study, the stability and skin penetration of catechin are improved by 3-dimensional method. As I-dimension, porous silica is prepared using sol-gel method, and then catechin is adsorbed in pores of silica. As 2-dimension, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) are obtained using non-phospholipid vesicles. Finally 3-dimension is completion through lamellar phase self-organization that combines SLN catechin with skin lipid matrix. We used laser light scattering system, cyro-SEM, chromameter, HPLC and image analyzer to analyze our 3-dimentional systems. According to chromameter date, the color stability of 3-dimensional catechin is enhanced by 5-10 times compared with general liposome systems. We also confirmed through HPLC analysis that 3-dimensional catechin is more long lasting. The effect of skin penetration and wrinkle reduction are improved, too.

The porous ceramic beads using mine tailing were prepared and applied to catalytic converter for NOx/SOx removal. Catalytic support was used synthesized mesoporous silica (SBA-15) which coated on surface. Internal structure for porous ceramic beads was composed of three-dimensional network structure and porosity was about 80%. In addition, the specific surface area for mesoporous silica(SBA-15) coated on converter was significantly increased 55 $m^2/g$ compared with 0.8 $m^2/g$ before coating. NOx/SOx removal experiment was performed using $V_2O_5$ and $V_2O_5$/CuO converter. NOx conversion ratio for $V_2O_5$/CuO converter was approximately increased 10% compared to $V_2O_5$ converter. In addition, catalytic converter of $V_2O_5$/CuO was shown to remove 95% of NOx and 90% of SOx at reaction temperature of $350^{\circ}C$, space velocity of 10000 $h^{-1}$ and $O_2$ concentrations of 5%, respectively.

The stability of the prepared silica membrane by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method in the HI-$H_2O$ gaseous mixture was evaluated aiming at the application for hydrogen iodide decomposition in the thermochemical IS process. Porous $\alpha$-alumina having pore size of 100 nm was modified by the different CVD temperature using tetraethoxysilane as the Si source. The CVD temperature was $700^{\circ}C$, $650^{\circ}C$, and $600^{\circ}C$. The $H_2$/H$_2$ selectivities of the modified membranes which were measured by single-component permeation experiment showed 43.2, 12.6, and 8.7 at $600^{\circ}C$ for the M1 (CVD temperature was $700^{\circ}C$), M2 (CVD temperature was $650^{\circ}C$) and M3 membranes (CVD temperature was $600^{\circ}C$), respectively. Stability experiment in the HI-$H_2O$ gaseous mixture was carried out at $450^{\circ}C$. The prepared silica membrane at $600^{\circ}C$ of CVD temperature was more stable than that at the other CVD temperature.

A serpentine mineral was treated in hydrochloric acid solution to obtain amorphous silica residue with high surface area. The highly porous silica with aluminum hydroxide and sodium hydroxide was hydrothermally reacted in an autoclave.

Recently, the synthesis of ordered macroporous materials has received much attention due to its potential use as photonic band gap materials.$^1$ In this study, we have used the three-dimensional (3D) latex array template impregnated with benzenesulfonic acid (BSA), which is capable of catalyzing the reaction using tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as a precursor and distilled water. The polystyrene (PS) templates were reacted with TEOS in $scCO_2$ at 40 $^{\circ}C$ and at 80 bar. In the reactor, TEOS was filtrated into the PS particle lattice. After the reaction, porous silica materials were obtained by calcinations of the template. The stability test of the PS template in pure $CO_2$ was conducted before the main experiment. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed that the reaction in $scCO_2$ takes place only on the particle surface. This new method using $scCO_2$ has advantages over conventional sol-gel processes in its capability to control the fluid properties such as viscosity and interfacial tension. It has been found that the reaction in $scCO_2$ occurs only on the particle surface, making the proposed technique as more rapid and sustainable method of synthesizing inverse opal materials than conventional coating processes in the liquid phase and in the vapor phase.
