The inorganic components in tobacco sheet extract have significant influence on the sensory taste of the cigars and the harmful component delivery in cigarette smoke. To identify the contributions of the divalent inorganic components on harmful components delivery in cigarette smoke, a self-made selective electrodialysis was assembled with monovalent ion-selective ion exchange membranes. The influences of current density and extract content on the desalination performance were investigated. Result indicates that the majorities chloride, nitrate, and sulfate ions were removed, comparing with 50-60% of potassium and only less than 10% of magnesium and calcium ions removed in the investigated current density. The permselectivity of the tested cations across the Selemion CSO cation exchange membranes follows the order: $K^+>Ca^{2+}>Mg^{2+}$. A current density of $15mA/cm^2$ is an optional choice by considering both the energy consumption and separation efficiency. When the extract contents are in the range of 7%-20%, the removal ratios the potassium ions are kept around 60%, while the removal ratios of the calcium and magnesium ions fluctuate in the range of 16-27% and 8-14%, respectively. The tobacco smoke experiments indicated that the divalent metal ions have dual roles for the harmful component delivery in cigarette smoke. The divalent potassium and calcium ions were unfavorable for the total particulate matter emission but beneficial to decrease the HCN delivery in the mainstream cigarette smoke. The selective electrodialysis is a robust technology to decrease the harmful component delivery in cigarette smoke.

In this paper, production of $^{166}Ho$ by double neutron capture from HANARO research reactor was evaluated. This production approach provides $^{166}Ho$ with high specific activity. $^{164}Dy$ is transmuted into $^{165g+m}Dy$ by (n,${\gamma}$) reaction, then $^{165g+m}Dy$ is transmuted into $^{166}Dy$ by (n,${\gamma}$) reaction. At the end of neutron irradiation, population of $^{166}Dy$ atoms reaches highest point. And $^{164}Dy$ exists as a mixture with $^{165m}Dy$, $^{165}Dy$, $^{166}Ho$ and $^{165}Ho$ at this point. To obtain $^{166}Ho$ with high specific activity, Ho isotopes from irradiated target is separated out. Then $^{166}Ho$ decayed from $^{166}Dy$ is eluted at radioactive equilibrium state. At each step, the number of relevant nuclide is calculated by the state equation. The neutron irradiation time for maximum $^{166}Dy$ is calculated for 283 hour. When 100 mg target of $Dy_2O_3$ (96.8% enriched $^{164}Dy$) is used, possible activity of $^{166}Ho$ is 3.54 Ci($1.31{\times}10^{11}Bq$). For separation efficiency of Dy/Ho is 99.99%, $^{166}Ho/Ho$ is 0.62.

$TiO_2-coated$ cubic ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ with mostly exposed (012) and (101) facets (${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3@TiO_2$) was fabricated using a hydrothermal route for the photo-Fenton degradation of tetracycline under visible light irradiation. $TiO_2$ coating could greatly affect the photocatalytic activity of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3@TiO_2$. Compared with cubic ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ alone for photodegradation of tetracycline, ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3@TiO_2$ with $TiO_2$ shell of around 15 nm exhibited higher removal efficiency of tetracycline in photo-Fenton system, and its durability was slightly affected after five cycle times under same conditions. It is ascribed to the well-matched interface between cubic ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ core and $TiO_2$ shell, leading to the broadened light-absorption and the efficient separation of photo-generated electon-hole pairs. The $^{\bullet}OH$ radicals were main responsible for the advanced photocatalytic performance of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3@TiO_2$ in visible-light driven degradation of tetracycline.

Novel highly active visible-light photocatalysts in the form of zinc bismuth oxide ($ZnBi_2O_4$) and graphite hybrid composites were prepared by coupling via a co-precipitation method followed by calcination at $450^{\circ}C$. The asprepared $ZnBi_2O_4$-graphite hybrid composites were tested for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) solutions under visible-light irradiation. The existence of strong electronic coupling between the two components within the $ZnBi_2O_4$-graphite heterostructure suppressed the photogenerated recombination of electrons and holes to a remarkable extent. The prepared composite exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity, leading to more than 93% of RhB degradation at an initial concentration of $50mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ with 1.0 g catalyst per liter in 150 min. The excellent visible-light photocatalytic mineralization of $ZnBi_2O_4-1.0graphite$ in comparison with pristine $ZnBi_2O_4$ could be attributed to synergetic effects, charge transfer between $ZnBi_2O_4$ and graphite, and the separation efficiency of the photogenerated electrons and holes. The photo-induced $h^+$ and the superoxide anion were the major active species responsible for the photodegradation process. The results demonstrate the feasibility of $ZnBi_2O_4-1.0graphite$ as a potential heterogeneous photocatalyst for environmental remediation.

Solvent sublation has been studied for the separation and determination of trace Zn(Ⅱ) and Pb(Ⅱ) in water samples. A synergy producing method was utilized to improve the efficiency of extraction in the sublation using an ion-pair of metal-naphth oate {M-(Nph)3- } complexes and tetra-n-butylammonium (TBA+ ) ion. After the M-(Nph)3- complexes were formed by adding 1-naphthoic acid to the sample solution, tetra-n-butylammonium bromide was added in the solution to form the ion-pair. And sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) was added to make the ion-pair hydrophobic. The ion-pairs of the metal complexes were floated and extracted into methylisobutyl ketone (MIBK) from the aqueous solution by bubbling with nitrogen gas in a flotation cell. Metal ions in MIBK solution were measured by graphite furnace-AAS. Experimental conditions were optimized as follow so. After the pH of a 1.0 L water sample was adjusted to 5.0, 6.0 mL of 0.1 M 1-HNph and 10 mL of 0.03 M TBA-bromide were added to the sample to form ion-pairs, and 2.0 mL of 0.2%(w/v) SLS was added to make the ion-pairs hydrophobic. The solution was bubbled with 30 mL/min N2 gas for 5 minutes in a flotation cell. Linear calibration curves were obtained for the determination of Zn(Ⅱ) and Pb(Ⅱ) in several water samples. Reproducible results of showing a relative standard deviation of < 10% and recoveries of 80-100% could be obtained.

정상상태의 플라즈마의 이론적 해석을 통해서 플라즈마의 회전과 동위원소 분리기로서의 적합성을 분석하였다. 이 장치는 두개의 동심원통형 전극과 이들 사이의 원통형 공동으로 구성되었으며, 축 방향으로 외부자장이 걸려 있다. 두 전극사이에 생성되는 전류밀도는 전기방전의 형태로 동위원소 혼합물로부터 플라즈마를 생성하고, 자장과 교차되어 발생하는 Lorentz힘에 의해서 플라즈마를 회전시킨다. 자기 유체역학 방정식을 바탕으로 이 계를 설명하는 두개의 연립편미분방정식을 얻었고, 네 경계조건을 사용하여 Fourier-Bessel로 표현된 이차원적 전류밀도와 속도분포의 해를 얻었다. 실제로 가능한 조건하에서 플라즈마 회전속도는 $10^4$m/sec 정도에 달하고, Hartmann수가 커짐에 따라 플라즈마회전 속도도 커진다. 이 같은 고속의 회전속도를 감안해 볼때 플라즈마 원심분리기는 기계적으로 회전되는 가스원심분리기보다 훨씬 높은 효율을 가지게 될 것이다.

LPG is increasingly being used as a clean energy source due to the continuous strengthening of environmental regulations. In addition, the demand of propane which is the basic compound for petrochemicals is increasing for propylene production. In the study, a divided wall column was used as de-propanizer and de-butanizer, which is expected to save large amount of energy among the four conventional distillation columns used for processing LPG. The simulation results showed a decrease of energy duty with ESI by 30.30% using two divided wall columns. Furthermore, simulation case studies were carried out with respect to design and operation condition. The main column tray and withdrawal tray were determined from the design case studies while the internal liquid flow and vapor flow were decided from the operating case studies. Also, ESI of 1.06% could be achieved from the case studies. According to the results, the simulation method used showed that it is greatly helpful to the design and evaluate a highly efficient divided wall column.

Ferroelectric의 강유전체 소구들을 충전한 원통형의 비열 방전 플라즈마 반응기를 설계 제작하였으며, 강유전체 층방전 구조를 구성하는 평판(20 mm 간격) 금속망 전극 사이에 직경 2.0 mm인 $SrBiTaO_9$ (SBT) 소구들을 위치시키고 고압의 교류 전원을 인가하였다. SBT 소구는 상온($25^{\circ}C$)에서 150, 큐리온도($335^{\circ}C$)에서 500의 유전상수를 가졌다. 플라즈마 반응기에서 오존 생성속도는 거의 인가전압의 증가에 비례하였으며, SBT 소구들이 충전된 경우, 20 kV 이상의 인가전압에서 오존 생성속도는 급격하게 증가하였다. 부코로나 방전에서 오존 생성속도가 정코로나 방전에서의 경우보다 높았다. 그러나 톨루엔 및 메틸렌클로라이드의 분해율은 생성된 오존 농도에 비례하여 증가하지 않았다.

일반적으로 수소의 정제는 화학적, 물리적인 방법을 통해 수행한다. 여러 종류의 정제방법 중 현재는 정제 용량 및 경제성이 가장 우수한 PSA(Pressure Swing Adsorption)를 이용한 정제방법이 가장 널리 사용되고 있다. 국내도 대부분 PSA를 이용하여 자동차 및 발전용 수소 연료전지 등에 사용하는 수소를 정제하고 있다. 기존 석유화학 단지중심의 부생수소는 운송 등의 어려움이 있다. 정부는 도시가스 공급망과 연계하여 소비지에서 직접 수소를 생산하는 수소추출기 설치 계획하고 있으며, 기업들도 이와 관련된 연구 및 실증 설비를 속속 설치하고 있는 실정이다. 유럽 등은 최근 PSA와 관련된 안전기준을 마련하여 시공 및 운영단계에서 체계적인 안전관리를 위한 노력을 기울이고 있으나, 국내는 PSA와 관련된 안전기준 마련이 아직까지는 미흡하다. 본 연구에서는 기존 PSA를 운영하고 있는 회사의 설문 및 위험성평가를 통해 기존설비의 문제점을 파악하고, 국외 기술기준에 이를 포함한 국내 기술기준을 작성하여 신규설치 및 기존 운영되고 있는 PSA시스템의 안전을 도모하고자 한다.
