In this study, the effect of drying temperature on characteristics of the trivalent chromate film on electroplated zinc was investigated. An zinc-electroplated iron specimen with a thickness of 5 ㎛ was used for chromate treatment. Chromate treatment was conducted in a solution diluted 10 times from a mixture of Cr(NO₃)₃·9H₂0 360 g/L, Co(NO₃)₂·6H₂O 60 g/L, Na₂SO₄ 60 g/L, NH₄F·HF 25 g/L, and NaOH 20 g/L. The zinc electroplated specimen was treated using the chromate solution with pH 2.0 at 25 ℃ for 60 s. Subsequently, chromate-treated samples were dried in an electric furnace for 2h with temperature varied from 25 to 125 ℃. The corrosion rate increased with the increase in the drying temperature, and the surface morphology of the chromate-treated film was observed using FE-SEM. When the drying temperature changed, the color of the chromate film changed from green to yellow, and the thickness of the film changed from 362 to 241 nm, respectively. Additionally, corrosion resistance was evaluated via a salt spray test.

본 연구에서는 유황을 폴리머화하여 내화학성능이 요구되는 구조물의 콘크리트 표면보호재로 활용할 수 있도록 성능을 검토하였다. 평가 결과, 유황폴리머 표면도포재의 중력식 스프레이가 적절한 것으로 나타났으며, 도포횟수는 왕복 3회 이상 도포했을 때 1MPa 이상의 부착강도 확보가 가능하였다. 표면보호재가 도포될 콘크리트 표면조건은 상온조건 ($20{\sim}30^{\circ}C$) 이상에서 높은 부착강도를 나타내었으며, 온도가 높을수록 부착강도가 증가하였다. 표면보호재의 채움재 혼입량에 따른 강도특성 평가결과, 20~40% 정도 혼입된 채움재는 유황폴리머의 수축을 저감시키는 효과를 나타내어 강도 향상에 기여하였다. 또한, 플라이애시 보다는 규사 혼입시 부착강도가 높았고, 동시 혼입시 가장 우수한 부착강도 특성을 나타내었다. 화학저항성은 플라이애시 및 규사를 각각 20% 대체한 배합에서 부착강도 저하가 최소로 되어 우수한 내화학성을 나타내었다. 염소이온 침투에 대한 성능평가를 수행한 결과, 표면보호재를 도포하지 않은 시험체에 비하여 유황폴리머 표면보호재를 도포한 경우, 29~48% 정도 염소이온침투저항성이 증대되었다. 표면보호재의 도포조건, 압축강도, 부착강도, 화학저항성, 염해저항성 등을 모두 고려하여 볼 때, 본 연구범위에서는 유황폴리머에 채움재로서 규사와 플라이애시를 각각 20%씩 대체하는 것이 적절한 수준인 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 "광안콩"의 20일 묘를 공시하여 $0{\sim}90\;mM$의 염분조건에서 콩의 생리학적 피해정도를 산정하고 내염성 품종선발과 육종계획에 요구되는 기초자료로 활용하고자 수행되었다. 엽록소의 함량은 정상적인 관수를 실시한 대조구에 비해 염분 처리에서 $15{\sim}60%$ 감소하였고 농도증가에 따라 감소정도가 크게 나타났다. 염분 처리에 따른 광합성과 호흡량은 각각 $28{\sim}48%$와 $16{\sim}34%$ 감소하였고 $O_2$ 생산 비율보다 $O_2$ 소모 비율이 높게 나타났다. 수분 potential은 정상 잎(-1.5 MPa)에 비해 염분처리에서는 농도별로 -2.13에서 -2.69 MPa로 직선적으로 감소하였다. 개화기 염처리에서 대조구 $13.3\;{\mu}g$의 약 $17{\sim}22%$로 감소한 $11.8{\sim}10.4\;{\mu}g$이었으며 증산저항은 $1.08{\sim}1.70\;S/m$로 증가하는 경향이었다. 콩 잎의 수분증산 저항에 미치는 염분의 영향은 잎 내부의 기층저항이 가장 심한 차이를 보였고 무처리에서 45.9 S/m인 반면 염분처리에서는 $53.5{\sim}56.6\;S/m$로 농도증가에 따라 증가하였으며 기공저항과 잎 경계면의 저항은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 대부분의 무기물 함량은 뿌리보다 앞에서 축적량이 더 많게 나타났으나 $Na^+$만이 뿌리에 더 많이 축적되었고 N, P, $K^+$, $Ca^{2+}$ 및 $Mg^{2+}$는 무처리에 비해 오히려 그 축적량이 감소하였다. 염분처리에 따른 콩 잎의 유리 proline은 무처리($10.5\;{\mu}g$) 대비 $1.8{\sim}4.2$배 ($184{\sim}434\;{\mu}g$)로 염 농도가 증가함에 따라 축적량이 증가하는 경향이었다. Nitrate reductase의 활성은 염 농도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으나 농도가 90 mM 염분 처리에서의 증가폭은 다소 둔화되는 경향이었다. 한편 peroxidase 활성 역시 염분농도가 증가함에 다라 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

Five slab specimens with predefined cracks are examined to evaluate the corrosion behavior of epoxy-coated bars in chloride contaminated concrete, using linear polarization method. The test specimens were subjected to alternating weekly cycles of ponding in a salt solution and drying for 48 weeks. Test results show that the current density of the specimen of normal steel bars becomes 0.715 ${\mu}A/cm^2$ indicating that the steel bars are in moderate or high corrosion condition. However, the corrosion rates of the specimens with damaged epoxy-coated bars are significantly below 0.1 ${\mu}A/cm^2$ and the bars appears to be in passive condition. The damaged epoxy-coated bars with a corrosion inhibitor of calcium nitrite showed a corrosion rate of 0.110 ${\mu}m/year$ or 56 percents of the corrosion rate of damaged epoxy-coated specimen without such an inhibitor, 0.195 ${\mu}m/year$. However, the corrosion rates of specimens containing the other two corrosion inhibitors, a combination of amines and esters or mixtures of organic alkenyl dicarboxyl acid salts are quite equivalent to the control specimen. The research technique of linear polarization resistance method has proven itself to be useful in measuring corrosion rates of reinforcement in concrete.

In order to clarify the durability of protective coatings for maritime steel structures, various anti-corrosive organic coated steel samples were exposed for twelve years in semitropical marine environment at Miyakojima Island, Okinawa, JAPAN. Samples were various organic coated steel pipes, 4.0 m in length and 150 mm in diameter. While the bare steel pipe entirely corroded in 4.5 mm thickness in four and half years, these organic coated steel pipes exhibited protective appearances after twelve-year-exposure except for the defect in the coatings. Polyethylene (PE) lining pipe exhibited a good protective performance. Urethane painted pipe was also good but some barnacles stuck to its surface. A combination of petrolatum tape and FRP cover showed sufficient corrosion resistance for steel surface. The correlation in results between exposure and laboratory acceleration test was examined. It was found that salt spray test (SST) results corresponded to rusted area of scratched portion and that adhesion change of coating layer corresponded to the rotating immersion test result. Among the on-site measured data, volume resistivity is utilized for the index of corrosion protection performance of organic coating.

The electronic industries require environmentally-friendly and highly functional materials to enhance the quality of human life. Home appliances require insect repellent steels that work to protect household microwave ovens from incurring damage by insects such as fire ants and cockroaches in tropical regions. Thus, POSCO has developed new types of functional steels, coated with an array of organic-inorganic hybrid composites on the steel surface, to cover panels in microwave ovens and refrigerators. The composite solution uses a fine dispersion of hybrid solution with polymeric resin, inorganic and a pyrethroid additive in aqueous media. The hybrid composite solution coats the steel surface, by using a roll coater and is cured using an induction curing furnace on both the continuous galvanizing line and the electro-galvanizing line. The new steels were evaluated for quality performances, salt spray test for corrosion resistance and biological performance for both insect repellent and antimicrobial activity. The new steels with organic-inorganic composite coating exhibit extraordinarily biological functionalities, for both insect repellent and antimicrobial activities for short and long term tests. The composite-coating solution and experimental results are discussed and suggest that the molecular level dispersion of insecticide on the coating layer is key to biological functional performances.

In this study, a MWCNT(multi-wall carbon nanotube) was added to polysulfone(PSf) support layer to improve flux of TFC(thin film composite) RO(reverse osmosis) membrane. Two different kinds of MWCNT were used. Surfaces of some MWCNTs were modified hydrophilically through acid treatment, while those of other MWCNTs were modified through heat treatment to maintain their hydrophobicity. MWCNT/PSf support layer was prepared by adding PSf to the NMP mixed solvent containing 0.1 wt% MWCNTs using a phase inversion method. The surface porosity of the MWCNT/PSf support increased by 42~46% while its surface pore size being maintained. The TFC RO membrane made of MWCNT/PSf support layer showed a 20% flux increase while its salt rejection characteristics is sustained. In addition, the MWCNT/PSf support layer has better mechanical stability than the PSf support layer, there resulting in an increased resistance of flux reduction due to physical pressure.

Root colonization of Arabidopsis thaliana with Pseudomonas chlororaphis O6 induces systemic tolerance against diverse pathogens, as well as drought and salt stresses. In this study, we demonstrated that 11 genes in the leaves were up-regulated, and 5 genes were down-regulated as the result of three- to five-days root colonization by P. chlororaphis O6. The identified priming genes were involved in cell signaling, transcription, protein synthesis, and degradation. In addition, expression of selected priming genes were induced in P. chlororaphis O6-colonized plants subjected to water withholding. Genes encoding defense proteins in signaling pathways regulated by jasmonic acid and ethylene, such as VSP1 and PDF1.2, were additional genes with enhanced expression in the P. chlororaphis O6-colonized plants. This study indicated that the expression of priming genes, as well as genes involved in jasmonic acid- and ethylene-regulated genes may play an important role in the systemic induction of both abiotic and biotic stress due to root colonization by P. chlororaphis O6.

As one way to approach to cold defense mechanism in plants, we previously identified the gene for protein-tyrosine phosphatase (CaTPP1) from hot pepper (Capsicum annuum) using cDNA microarray analysis coupled with Northern blot analysis. We showed that the CaTPP1 gene was strongly induced by cold, drought, salt and ABA stresses. The CaTPP1 gene was engineered under control of CaMV 35S promoter for constitutive expression in transgenic tobacco plants by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The resulting CaTPP1 transgenic tobacco plants showed significantly increased cold stress resistance. It also appeared that some of the transgenic tobacco plants showed increased drought tolerance. The CaTPP1 transgenic plants showed no visible phenotypic alteration compared to wild type plants. These results showed the involvement of protein tyrosine phosphatase in tolerance of abiotic stresses including cold and drought stress.

In this study, vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) was used to treat high-salinity wastewater (concentration about 17%) discharged by chlor-alkali plant after resin regeneration. The feasibility of VMD for the treatment of real saline wastewater by using Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) microporous plate membrane with a pore diameter of $0.2{\mu}m$ was investigated. The effects of critical operating parameters such as feed temperature, velocity, vacuum degree and concentration on the permeate water flux were analyzed. Numerical simulation was used to predict the flux and the obtained results were in good agreement with the experimental data. The results showed that an increase in the operating conditions could greatly promote the permeate water flux which in turn decreased with an increase in the concentration. When the concentration varied from 17 to 25%, the permeate water flux dropped marginally with time indicating that the concentration was not sensitive to the decrease in permeate water flux. The permeate water flux decreased sharply until zero due to the membrane fouling resistance as the concentration varied from 25 to 26%. However, the conductivity of the produced water was well maintained and the average value was measured to be $4.98{\mu}s/cm$. Furthermore, a salt rejection of more than 99.99% was achieved. Overall, the outcome of this investigation clearly indicates that VMD has the potential for treating high-salinity wastewater.
