  • As an ozone contactor, we newly adopted HJLR (High-performance Jet Loop Reactor) for the decolorization of Reactive black 5 and the mineralization of oxalic acid, which has been applied exclusively in biological wastewater treatments and well-known for high oxygen transfer characteristics. The ozonation efficiency for organic removals and ozone utilization depending on the mass transfer rate were compared to those of Stirred bubble column reactor, which was controlled by varing energy input in the HJLR and Stirred bubble column reactor. The results were as follows; first, the decolorization rate of Reactive black 5 in the HJLR reactor was nearly proportional to the increasing $k_La$. When the $k_La$ was increased by 25 % from $13.0hr^{-1}$ to $16.4hr^{-1}$, 30 % of the k' (apparent reaction rate constant) was increased from 0.1966 to $0.2665min^{-1}$ (Stirred bubble column; from 0.1790 to $0.2564min^{-1}$). Ozone transfer was found to be a rate-determining step in decolorizing Reactive black 5, which was supported by that no residual ozone was detected in all of the experiments. Second, the mineralization of oxalic acid was not always proportional to the increasing $k_La$ in the RJLR reactor. The rate-determining step for this reaction was OH(OH radical) production with ozone transfer, because residual ozone was always detected during the ozonation of oxalic acid in contrast with Reactive black 5. This result indicates that the increase of $k_La$ in the HJLR reactor is beneficial only when there are in ozone transfer limited regions. In addition, regardless of $k_La$, the mineralization of oxalic acid was nearly accomplished within 60 minutes. It was interpreted as that the longer staying of residual ozone by whirling liquid in the HJLR reactor contributed to an high ozone utilization(83-94%), producing more OR radicals.

  • This study analyzes the results of applying the ISO19030 (hull and propeller performance monitoring method) standard to an actual 178 k bulk vessel. Recently, there have been many attempts to apply various energy reduction solutions to vessels to continuously strengthen GHG reduction regulations and secure maritime competitiveness. However, it is not easy to quantitatively analyze the performance of a ship. To resolve these problems, shipping companies, marine paint companies, ship owners, and transportation associations have appointed specialists and standardized the ISO19030 (standard of hull and propeller performance monitoring method) guidelines in 2016 after three years of continuous review. The ISO19030 standard provides methods to monitor hull and propeller performance quantitatively through standardized procedures, thus allowing ship managers to arrive at informed decisions for hull and propeller maintenance, and to evaluate energy-saving solutions and ship-maintenance efficiency. The ISO19030 standard provides a method of analyzing the ship's own performance by collecting the ship's operation and agency data and correcting its environmental and operating factors. In this paper, we apply the ISO19030 standard to three actual ships and propose the ISO19030 application result and the improvement point of the current ISO19030 standard.

  • This study is focused on the effect of the surface properties for the post electrode, which is used in pad formation consisted of SMT such as IC, passive component, combined with fired LTCC substrate, We carried out the surface microstructure of sintered electrode and the basic reliability evaluations with sample fired by microwave sintering to solve the problems occurred in post electrode by electric sintering. We evaluated surface densification status of post electrode according to various conditions of microwave sintering. In additions, it is obtained strong effect on blister improvement of post electrode because of over-sintering and the insufficient out gas in bum out process. As a result of adhesion strength, we confirmed $44.3N/mm^2$ in microwave sintering and $34.5N/mm^2$ in electric sintering, respectively. This result will be used for the basic reliability test. Finally, microwave sintering seems to be economic in process time with 30 min compared to electric sintering with 10 hr. In terms of Mass production and efficiency, microwave sintering are excepted to be higher than electric sintering.

  • To produce biodiesel efficiently from fish oil containing 4% free fatty acid, esterification and trans-esterification were carried out with Vietnam catfish oil, which was kindly provided from GS-bio company. Heterogeneous solid acid catalysts such as Amberlyst-15 and Amberlyst BD-20 and sulfuric acid as homogeneous acid catalyst were used for the esterification of free fatty acids in the fish oil. Sulfuric acid showed the highest removal efficiency of free fatty acid and the shortest reaction time among three acid catalysts. The base catalysts for trans-esterification such as KOH, $NaOCH_3$ and NaOH were compared with each other and KOH was determined to be the best transesterification catalyst. Some solid material, which assumed to be saponified product from glycerol and biodiesel, were observed to form in the fish oil biodiesel when using $NaOCH_3$ and NaOH as the transesterification catalyst. The initial acid value of fish oil was proven to have a negative effect on biodiesel conversion. Of the three catalysts, KOH catalyst transesterification was shown to have high content of FAME and the optimal ratio of methanol/oil ratio was identified to be 9:1.

  • Uranyl-peroxide compound was prepared by the reaction of excess hydrogen peroxide solution and trace uranium in filtrate from nuclear fuel conversion plant. The $CO_3{^{2-}}$ in filtrate was removed first by heating more than $98^{\circ}C$, because uranyl-peroxide compound could not be precipitated by $CO_3{^{2-}}$ remaining in filtrate. The optimum condition for uranyl-peroxide compound was ageing for 1 hr after controling the pH with $NH_3$ gas and adding the excess $H_2O_2$ of 10ml/lit.-filtrate. Uranium concentration in the filtrate was appeared to 3 ppm after the precipitation of uranyl-peroxide compound, and the chemical composition of this compound was analyzed to $UO_4{\cdot}2NH_4F$ with FT-IR, X-ray diffractometry, TG and chemical analysis. Also, this fine particle, about $1{\sim}2{\mu}m$, could be grown up to $4{\mu}m$ at pH 9.5 and $60^{\circ}C$. The separation efficiency of precipitate from mother liquor was increased with increase of pH and reaction temperature. Otherwise, the crystal form of this particle showed octahedral by SEM and XRD, and $U_3O_8$ powder was obtained by thermal decomposition at $650^{\circ}C$ in air atmosphere.

  • In this study, biochemical methane potential test was conducted to estimate ultimate methane and carbon dioxide yield for anaerobic digestion and pretreatment with sewage sludge cake. Two of 0.2 % TS of sewage sludge cakes were treated with 5M NaOH or sonication of 0.51 W/mL during 30 min respectively. Another sample was treated simultaneously with NaOH and sonication in same condition. Then, initial soluble COD increased from 33.1 mg/L to 494 mg/L. After BMP test, methane production ranged from 3.12 and 84.2 mL $CH_4$ per g of Volatile Solid (VS) and 9.2 and 13.5 mL $CO_2$ per g of Volatile Solid (VS) for carbon dioxide. In other tests, injection of nutrient media or sludge supernatant produced 73.1 and 73.8 mL $CH_4$ per g of Volatile Solid (VS) and 11.2 and 13.6 mL $CO_2$ per g of Volatile Solid (VS) respectively. When BMP test finished, 62 % of initial volatile solids decreased to 33.8~45.4 %. Simultaneous pretreatment increased soluble COD, reduction rate of volatile solids and digestion efficiency than those for alkaline and ultrasonic pretreatment.
