The pH & alkalinity adjustment method by lime and carbon dioxide($CO_2$) for corrosion control in water distribution system was investigated to determine the optimum operational condition in lime adding process in water treatment plant(WTP). The mixing time at dissolution tank and sedimentation time at saturator for maintaining optimal turbidity condition of lime supernatant were 60~75 minutes and 75~95 minutes, respectively. There was no difference according to $CO_2$ adding methods such as $CO_2$ saturated water or $CO_2$ gas. But, $CO_2$ saturated water could be convenience at WTP in terms of pH control and quantitative dosing. To minimize generation of calcium carbonate products, the short time interval between adding of lime and $CO_2$ is most important. The lime should be added below 32 mg/l for preventing pH rising and generation of calcium carbonate products at the heating condition.

In this study, the hydrogen reduction behavior of ball-milled NiO nanopowder was investigated depending on the partial pressure of water vapor. The hydrogen reduction behavior was analyzed by thermogravimetry and hygrometry under heating to 873 K in hydrogen. In order to change the partial pressure of the water vapor, the dew point of hydrogen was controlled in the range of 248 K~293 K by passing high-purity hydrogen through a saturator that contained water. Interestingly, with the increase in the dew point of the hydrogen atmosphere, the first step of the hydrogen reduction process decreased and the second step gradually increased. After the first step, a pore volume analysis revealed that the pore size distribution in the condition with a higher water vapor pressure shifted to a larger size, whereas the opposite appearedat a lower pressure. Thus, it was found that the decrease in the pore volume during the chemical reaction controlled process at a dew point of 248 K caused a reduction in retardation in the diffusion controlled process.

Supercritical Fluid Chromatography(SFC) has become a technique for solving problems that are difficult to be monitored by other chromatographic methods. However, the most widely used fluid, is no more polar than hexane. Polar samples which are difficult to be analyzed with pure supercritical $CO_2$ because of their high polarity can be separated by adding polar modifiers to supercritical $CO_2$. In this paper, a new method for monitoring the mobile phase composition in modified supercritical fluid chromatography was developed. The amount of water dissolved in supercritical $CO_2$ was measured by amperometric microsensor which is made of thin film of perfluorosulfonate ionomer(PFSI). The amount of water dissolved in supercritical $CO_2$ stayed constant for a much longer time than with a saturator column. With this new mixing device, we could get good resolutions for vitamins which are difficult to separate with pure $CO_2$.

The surface of polyimide membrane was modified by plasma treatment using Ar and NH~. and the permeability and selectivity for the mixture gas $(CO_2/N_2=20/80 vol%)$ were measured. The per¬meation experiments were performed by a variable volume method at $30^{\circ}$C and total pressure of 5 atm, The effect of the plasma conditions such as treatment time, power input, gas flow rate and pressure in the reactor on the transport Dwperties of modified membranes was investigated. The surface of the plasma treated membrane was analyzed by means of FTlR - ATH, ESCA and AFM. The dependences of the wettability and the etching on plasma treatment time were investigated by use of the contact angle and the weight loss measurement. Measurements of gas pcnneability characteristic were performed using both dry and wet membranes. The effects of experimental conditions such as temperature on the membrane performance were studied.

We proposed a novel method to remove PM2.5 dusts without HEPA filters aiming at applications in kitchens or enclosed work spaces generating PM2.5 at high concentrations. Many workers are exposed to PM2.5 owing to lack of air purification because the high replacement costs of HEPA filters make their application impractical. A key idea is to use the condensational growth of nanoparticles. Once particles grow to the size of a few micrometers, it is much easier to remove them because of their increased inertia. We developed and tested a prototype consisting of an air saturator (equipped with water spray nozzles), a condenser in which humid air was cooled down to make the particles grow, and a multi-impactor assembly for collecting the grown particles.
