This paper is on the development of a system for removing membranes which is designed exclusively for aircraft components. Membrane removal solution is a most critical issue in aerospace industries since a method of manufacturing the components tends to be changed from fabrication of many parts to cutting into one body. The cutting method inevitably produces a huge amount of chips and then membranes remain in the body. The membrane removal process, as a result, becomes an important issue since it is directly related to productivity. We tried to develop a new machine which will replace the conventional method that uses a handy tool. The machine has been designed for a cutting tool set to follow the unique shape of the slot in the body by a cam follower and cut the membrane automatically. The design has been checked by structural analysis: stress and vibration analysis. A prototype test has been finished. This paper summarizes a series of development process of the deburring machine and some design issues are discussed.

A tube-type ceramic membrane for microfiltration was developed, and the membrane module comprised of three membranes was also applied to biological carbon and nitrogen removal processes for post-treatment. Manufacturing the microfiltration membrane was successful with the structure and boundary of the coated and support layers within the membrane module clearly observable. Total kjeldahl nitrogen removal from effluent was additionally achieved through the elimination of solids containing organic nitrogen by use of the ceramic membrane module. Removal of suspended solids and colloidal substances were noticeably improved after membrane filtration, and the filtration function of the ceramic membrane could also easily be recovered by physical cleaning. By using the ceramic membrane module, the system showed average removals of organics, nitrogen, and solids up to 98%, 80% and 99.9%, respectively. Thus, this microfiltration system appears to be an alternative and flexible option for existing biological nutrient removal processes suffering from poor settling performance due to the use of a clarifier.

본 연구는 산기관(diffuser) 형태로 운전되는 중공사막 생물반응기(Hollow Fiber Membrane Diffuser) 시스템을 복합오염물질(benzene, toluene, p-xylene, BTX)처리에 적용해 보고, 생물반응기에 의한 각 물질의 생분해 특성을 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 우선 toluene을 단일오염물질로 적용한 예비 실험기간 동안에 75%수준의 안정적인 처리 효율을 확인할 수 있었다. 이후 BTX 복합오염물질을 적용한 본 실험기간 동안에도 별도의 적응기간 및 악영향 없이 70%수준의 처리효율을 얻어낼 수 있었다. 이를 통하여 toluene분해 미생물의 benzene, p-xylene의 분해 능력을 확인하였으며, toluene의 경우 복합오염물질 적용 시 다른 두 물질에 의해 소폭의 분해 저해가 발생하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 분해능 실험에서 측정한 생물반응기의 BTX 분해능은 약 360 $g/m^3/hr$이었으며, 이는 기존의 생물여과공법에 제시된 최대분해능보다 높은 우수한 분해능이었다. 따라서 산기관 형태의 중공사막 생물반응기는 복합오염물질 처리에도 안정적인 운전특성을 나타내었으며, 기존의 VOCs 저감기술을 대체할 수 있는 친환경적인 기술이라고 판단된다.

In this work, treatment of real hypersaline refinery wastewater by hollow fiber membrane bioreactor coupled with reverse osmosis unit was studied. The ability of HF-MBR and RO developed in this work, was evaluated through examination of the effluent properties under various operating conditions including hydraulic retention time and flux. Arak refinery wastewater was employed as influent of the bioreactor which consists of an immersed ultrafiltation membrane. The HF-MBR/RO was run for 6 months. Average elimination performance of chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand, total suspended solids, volatile suspended solids, total dissolved soild and turbidity were obtained 82%, 89%, 98%, 99%, 99% and 98% respectively. Highly removal performance of oily contaminant, TDS and the complete retention of suspends solids implies good potential of the HF-MBR/RO system for wastewater refinement.

본 연구는 침지형태로 운전되는 중공사막 결합형 생물반응기(HFMB) 시스템의 VOC 처리능력 및 안정성을 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 일차적으로 미생물이 없는 조건에서 VOC 물질전달을 알아보기 위한 abiotic test를 통해, 본 연구에서 사용한 HFMB는 미세기포를 이용한 산기관과 유사한 물질전달율을 나타냄을 확인하였다. 그러나 HFMB는 일반 산기관 시스템과는 달리 기체 유속과 중공사막 개수를 증가시켜 물질전달율을 더욱 증대시킬 수 있을 것으로 예측된다. 또한 반응조에 톨루엔 분해 미생물을 첨가하고 다양한 유입부하 조건에서의 기체상 톨루엔 제거 실험을 수행하였는데, 50, 100, $500\;g/m^3/hr$의 유입부하 조건에서 $70{\sim}80%$ 수준의 처리효율을 얻을 수 있었다. 추가적으로 수행된 분해능 실험에서는 최대 $800\;g/m^3/hr$ 이상의 분해능을 실험적으로 확인하여, 문헌에 제시된 기존 생물여과공법의 최대분해능($50{\sim}100\;g/m^3/hr$) 보다 월등히 높았다. 따라서 HFMB는 기존의 VOC 저감기술을 대치할 수 있는 친환경적인 기술이라고 판단된다.

An infrared image sensor is a core device in a thermal imaging system. The fabrication method of a focal plane array (FPA) is a key technology for a high resolution infrared image sensor. Each pixels in the FPA have $Si_3N_4/SiO_2$ membranes including legs to deposit bolometric materials and electrodes on Si readout circuits (ROIC). Instead of polyimide used to form a sacrificial layer, the feasibility of an amorphous silicon (${\alpha}-Si$) was verified experimentally in a $8{\times}8$ micro-bolometer array with a $50{\mu}m$ pitch. The elimination of the polyimide sacrificial layer hardened by a following plasma assisted deposition process is sometimes far from perfect, and thus requires longer plasma ashing times leading to the deformation of the membrane and leg. Since the amorphous Si could be removed in $XeF_2$ gas at room temperature, however, the fabricated micro-bolomertic structure was not damaged seriously. A radio frequency (RF) sputtered nickel oxide film was grown on a $Si_3N_4/SiO_2$ membrane fabricated using a low stress silicon nitride (LSSiN) technology with a LPCVD system. The deformation of the membrane was effectively reduced by a combining the ${\alpha}-Si$ and LSSiN process for a nickel oxide micro-bolometer.

In India, the current operation of condenser cooling system & effluent disposal system in existing power plants aims to reduce drawal of seawater and to achieve Zero Liquid Discharge to meet the demands of statutory requirements, water scarcity and ecological system. Particularly in the Steam-Electric power plants, condenser cooling system adopts Once through cooling (OTC) system which requires more drawal of seawater and effluent disposal system adopts sea outfall system which discharges hot water into sea. This paper presents an overview of closed-loop technology for condenser cooling system and to achieve Zero Liquid Discharge plant in Steam-Electric power plants making it lesser drawal of seawater and complete elimination of hot water discharges into sea. The closed-loop technology for condenser cooling system reduces the drawal of seawater by 92% and Zero Liquid Discharge plant eliminates the hot water discharges into sea by 100%. Further, the proposed modification generates revenue out of selling potable water and ZLD free flowing solids at INR 81,97,20,000 per annum (considering INR 60/Cu.m, 330 days/year and 90% availability) and INR 23,760 per annum (considering INR 100/Ton, 330 days/year and 90% availability) respectively. This proposed modification costs INR 870,00,00,000 with payback period of less than 11 years. The conventional technology can be replaced with this proposed technique in the existing and upcoming power plants.

Background: Apoptosis is a physiologic phenomenon involved in development, elimination of damaged cells, and maintenance of cell homeostasis. Deregulation of apoptosis may cause diseases, such as cancers, immune diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders. The mouse myeloma cell P3-X63-Ag8.653 (v653) is an HGPRT deficient $(HGPRT^-)$ mutant strain. High dependency on de novo transcription and translation of aminopterin induced apoptosis of this cell seems to be an ideal experimental system for searching apoptosis-induced genes. Methods & Results: For searching apoptosis-related genes we carried out GE-array (dot blot), Affymetrix GeneChip analysis, Northern analysis and differential display-PCR techniques. The chip data were analyzed with three different programs. 66 genes were selected through Affymetrix GeneChip analyses. All genes selected were classified into 8 groups according to their known functions. They were Genes of 1) Cell growth/maintenance/death/enzyme, 2) Cell cycle, 3) Chaperone, 4) Cancer/disease-related genes, 5) Mitochondria, 6) Membrane protein/signal transduction, 7) Nuclear protein/nucleic acid binding/transcription binding and 8) Translation factor. Among these groups number of genes were the largest in the genes of cell growth/maintenance/death/enzyme. Expression signals of most of all groups were peaked at 3 hour of apoptosis except genes of Nuclear protein/nucleic acid binding/transcription factor which showed maximum signal at 1 hour. Conclusion: This study showed induction of wide range of proapoptotic factors which accelerate cell death at various stage of cell death. In addition apoptosis studied in this research can be classified as a type 2 which involves cytochrome c and caspase 9 especially in early stages of death. But It also has progressed to type 1 in late stage of the death process.
