본 연구는 선행연구에서 도출한 다량의 광물질 혼화재를 사용한 고강도 콘크리트(HVMAC)의 내구성을 3성분계 콘크리트(TBC)와 시멘트만 사용한 콘크리트(NC)에 대해서 비교 평가하고자 하였다. 내구성 평가 종류는 염화물 침투 저항성, 동결융해 저항성, 두가지 전처리 조건으로 비교 평가한 탄산화 저항성, 5% 황산($H_2SO_4$), 10% 황산나트륨($Na_2SO_4$) 및 10% 황산마그네슘($MgSO_4$) 용액을 선정하여 황산 및 황산염 저항성 평가를 수행하였다. HVMAC는 모든 재령에서 우수한 염화물 침투 저항성을 나타내었고, 동결융해에 대한 내구성 지수가 100%에 가까운 우수한 결과를 나타내었다. 탄산화 저항성 평가 결과, HVMAC가 TBC보다 저감효과가 있었으며, 양생기간을 증가시켰을 때 콘크리트 내부조직을 치밀하게 만들어 탄산화 저항성을 향상시켰다. 황산 및 황산염 저항성 평가에서 HVMAC가 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 다량의 혼화재 적용에 따른 수산화칼슘 생성량과 $C_3A$가 적어 황산 및 황산염에 의한 열화가 저감된 효과로 강도 감소 및 질량 변화가 작게 나타난 것으로 확인되었다.

The properties of anodized films on aluminum 6061 alloy in single electrolyte of sulfuric acid and mixed electrolyte of sulfuric-boric acid and sulfuric-boric-nitric acid have been studied. Polarization tests in NaC solution were used to investigate the corrosion performance. Characteristics of film formation and surface morphology were examined by optical microscopy, FE-SEM and EDS. The results obtained have indicated that oxide films growth have been promoted by nitric acid and anodized films in mixed electrolyte have superior corrosion resistance. In case of anodic films formed in mixed electrolyte, some grooves and numerous crazings were also observed at the surface.

2실 구조의 바이폴라막 전기투석(EDBM) 공정을 이용하여 황산암모늄으로부터 황산과 암모니아수를 제조하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 황산암모늄 농도가 20 wt%인 용액에 대해 전류밀도 및 농축조에서의 황산 농도를 변화시켜 가면서 전기투석을 실시하였다. 전류밀도를 $25{\sim}100\;mA/cm^2$의 범위에서 운전한 결과 전류밀도가 증가할수록 전류효율은 증가하였다. 그러나 농축조의 황산이 음이온교환막을 통해 희석조로 확산됨으로써 일반적인 탈염용 전기투석 공정에 비해 효율이 크게 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 농축조의 황산농도가 증가할수록 음이온교환막에서 황산의 확산속도가 증가하여 전류효율은 급격히 감소하였다. 한편 전류밀도가 증가할수록 스택의 전기저항은 감소하였는데 이는 바이폴라막의 전이영역에서 높은 전기장하에서 물이 분해되면서 발생하는 주울열에 기인하는 것으로 해석된다. 실험 결과 2실 구조의 EDBM 공정을 통해 황산암모늄으로부터 황산과 암모니아수를 생산하기 위해서는 전류효율과 전기저항 측면에서 높은 전류밀도로 운전하는 것이 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 실제 공정에 적용되기 위해서는 전류효율을 높이면서 농축조의 황산농도를 높일 수 있는 연구가 추가적으로 진행되어야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

Aluminum alloys have poor corrosion resistance compared to the pure aluminum due to the additive elements. Thus, anodizing technology artificially generating thick oxide films are widely applied nowadays in order to improve corrosion resistance. Anodizing is one of the surface modification techniques, which is commercially applicable to a large surface at a low price. However, most studies up to now have focused on its commercialization with hardly any research on the assessment and improvement of the physical characteristics of the anodized films. Therefore, this study aims to select the optimum temperature of sulfuric electrolyte to perform excellent corrosion resistance in the harsh marine environment through electrochemical experiment in the sea water upon generating porous films by variating the temperatures of sulfuric electrolyte. To fabricate uniform porous film of 5083 aluminum alloy, we conducted electro-polishing under the 25 V at $5^{\circ}C$ condition for three minutes using mixed solution of ethanol (95 %) and perchloric (70 %) acid with volume ratio of 4:1. Afterward, the first step surface modification was performed using sulfuric acid as an electrolyte where the electrolyte concentration was maintained at 10 vol.% by using a jacketed beaker. For anode, 5083 aluminum alloy with thickness of 5 mm and size of $2cm{\times}2cm$ was used, while platinum electrode was used for cathode. The distance between the two was maintained at 3 cm. Afterward, the irregular oxide film that was created in the first step surface modification was removed. For the second step surface modification process (identical to the step 1), etching was performed using mixture of chromic acid (1.8 wt.%) and phosphoric acid (6 wt.%) at $60^{\circ}C$ temperature for 30 minutes. Anodic polarization test was performed at scan rate of 2 mV/s up to +3.0 V vs open circuit potential in natural seawater. Surface morphology was compared using 3D analysis microscope to observe the damage behavior. As a result, the case of surface modification presented a significantly lower corrosion current density than that without modification, indicating excellent corrosion resistance.

Although many thermal power plants use heat recovery systems, high exhaust gas temperatures are maintained due to corrosion at dew points and ash deposits caused by condensate formation. The dew point of exhaust gas is primarily determined by the concentration of SO₃ and steam, and various experiments and calculation equations have been employed to estimate it. However, these methods are known to be less suitable for exhaust gases with low SO₃ concentrations. Therefore, in this study, since the temperature of the exhaust gas is expected to decrease due to the low-load operation of the coal-fired power plant, sulfuric acid condensation and low-temperature corrosion are anticipated. We aimed to conduct a quantitative evaluation to propose ways to prevent damage by limiting operating conditions and improving facilities. The experimental results showed that the corrosion rate increased linearly with rising temperatures at a certain sulfuric acid concentration. Furthermore, variations in sulfuric acid concentrations generated during the current power plant operation process did not significantly affect the dew point, and the dew point of sulfuric acid under these conditions was observed to be between 120 - 130 ℃.

This study was conducted to evaluate the resistance of heat-treated wood using the catalyst to decay caused by fungi for sapwood and heartwood of two tree species, Korean red pine (Pinus densiflora) and Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi), respectively. Wood samples were immersed for 10 min in sulfuric acid (7.5%) and then heat-treated at $130^{\circ}C$ for 90 min. Fomitopsis palustris, a brown-rot fungus, was used to examine the decay resistance of Korean red pine and Japanese larch wood. Weight and density of wood from the all conditions increased after heat treatment using the catalyst. Weight loss after decay resistance test was also dropped with a heat treatment. The lowest weight loss indicated at heat-treated heartwood of Japanese larch. Heat treatment using the catalyst effectively increased the resistance of wood to decay caused by fungi.

This work studies dielectric breakdown behavior of AAO (anodic aluminum oxide) films formed on pure aluminum at a constant current density in 5 ~ 20 vol.% sulfuric acid (SA) and 2 ~ 8 wt.% oxalic acid (OA) solutions. It was observed that dielectric breakdown voltage of AAO film with the same thickness increased with increasing concentration of both SA and OA solutions up to 15 vol.% and 6 wt.%, respectively, above which it decreased slightly. The dielectric breakdown resistance of the OA films appeared to be superior to that of SA films. After dielectric breakdown test, cracks and a hole were observed. The crack length increased with increasing SA film thickness but it did not increase with increasing OA film thickness. To explain the reason why shorter cracks formed on the OA films than the SA films after dielectric breakdown test, the generation of tensile stresses at the oxide/metal interface was discussed in relation to porosity of AAO films obtained from cross-sectional morphologies.

폴리머콘크리트는 시멘트 콘크리트에 비해 강도와 내구성에 탁월한 성능을 가지고 있지 때문에 건설현장에서도 다양한 용도로 개발되어 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 폴리머콘크리트는 그 결합재로 쓰이는 수지의 가격이 높아 경제적인 면에서는 다소 불리하여 기존의 수지를 대체할 수 있는 결합재에 관한 연구가 진행되고 있다. PET를 재활용한 폴리머콘크리트는 산업폐기물을 재활용하여 경제적인 건설 신소재를 개발할 수 있어 그 영역이 점차 확대될 것으로 전망된다. 본 연구에서는 하수관거 및 폐수 시설 등에서 발생하고 있는 황산에 의한 피해를 줄이기 위한 방법의 일환으로 충전재 변화에 따른 PET 재활용 폴리머콘크리트의 황산에 의한 침식 실험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과 충전재로 중탄산칼슘을 사용한 경우는 외형 및 표면 상태에서 부식의 흔적이 있었으며, 중량 변화 및 강도 변화에서도 장기간 부식 환경에 노출 될 경우 문제점을 야기할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 반면에 충전재로 플라이애쉬를 사용한 경우는 중량변화 및 강도 변화가 적었으며 외형에서도 침지하지 않은 실험체와 거의 변화가 없었다. 이것은 플라이애쉬의 입자의 밀실 충전효과와, 강한 유리질결정체로 구성된 입자 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 하수관거, 공장 폐수시설등 부식 환경 하에서의 구조물에서는 플라이애쉬를 충전재로 사용한 폴리머콘크리트의 사용이 적절한 것으로 나타났다.

Transparent conductive films of single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) were prepared by spray coating method. The effect of acid treatment on the SWCNT films was investigated. The field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) shows that acid treatment can remove dispersing agent. The electrical and optical properties of acid-treated films were enhanced compared with those of as deposited SWCNT films. Nitric acid ($HNO_3$), sulfuric acid ($H_2SO_4$), nitric acid:sulfuric acid (3:1) were used for post treatment. Although all solutions reduced sheet resistance of CNT films, nitric acid can improve electrical characteristics efficiently. During acid treatment, transmittance was increased continuously with time. But the sheet resistance was decreased for the first 20 minutes and then increased again. Post-treated SWCNT films were transparent (85%) in the visible range with sheet resistance of about $162{\Omega}/sq$. In this paper we discuss simple fabrication, which is suitable for different types of large-scale substrates and simple processes to improve properties of SWCNT films.

The objective of this study was to determine whether Cymbopogon citratus extract as a corrosion inhibitor from natural tropical resources could prevent corrosion of carbon steel in sulfuric acid solution. Inhibitory action of this extract was investigated using electrochemical methods such as potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Those methods revealed corrosion rate, efficiency of inhibition, and adsorptions isotherm values when the extract was added to the sulfuric acid solution at concentration up to 500 ppm with various immersion time at ambient temperature. Results revealed that higher concentration of the extract and longer immersion time decreased the corrosion rate of carbon steel whereas the inhibition efficiency of the extract was increased up to 97.25%. The value of charge transfer resistance was increased significantly by adding the extract at concentration up to 500 ppm with an immersion time of 60 minutes. The type of the extract was a mixed inhibitor. It could inhibit the corrosion process in both anodic and cathodic sides electrochemically. Results of this study suggest that the mechanism of adsorption on the surface of carbon steel is related to Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
