In this paper, for the first time, the electroanalytical study of Triethylenediamine, TEDA was done on a typically graphene modified carbon paste electrode (Gr/CPE) in pH=10.5 of phosphate buffer solutions (PBS). The surface morphology of the bare and modified electrodes was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The electro-oxidation of TEDA was investigated at the surface of modified electrode. The results revealed that the oxidation peak current of TEDA at the surface of Gr/CPE is 2.70 times than that shown at bare-CPE. A linear calibration plot was observed in the range of 1.0 to 202.0 ppm. In this way, the detection limit was found to be 0.18 ppm. The method was then successfully applied to determination of TEDA in aqueous samples obtained from two kinds of activated carbon from the masks of war. On the other hand, density functional theory (DFT) method at B3LYP/6-311++G** level of theory and a conductor-like Polarizable Continuum Model (CPCM) was used to calculate the $pK_a$ values of TEDA. The energies of lowest unoccupied molecular orbital ($E_{LUMO}$) and highest occupied molecular orbital ($E_{HOMO}$), gap energy (${\Delta}E$) and some thermodynamic parameters such as Gibbs free energy of TEDA and its conjugate acid ($HT^+$) were calculated. The results of calculated $pK_a$ were found to be in good agreement with the experimental values.

C4 잔사유 III는 올레핀의 함량이 높음에도 불구하고 이를 활용할 방법이 그리 많지 않다. 대부분 수소화반응을 통하여 부탄으로 전환하여 LPG로 판매하고 있다. C4 잔사유 III는 매우 적은 이소부텐 및 이소부탄을 포함한 2-부텐이 농후한 유분으로, 이 유분 중 2-부텐은 $400{\sim}600^{\circ}C$에서 소성시켜 제조한 에타 알루미나 촉매로 이성화하여 열역학적 평형 수율 근처에서 선택적 위치 이성화시켜 1-부텐으로 전환된다. 전체 공정은 이성화 반응기, 고선택적으로 1-부텐으로 전환시킨 유분을 농축하고 반응물을 제조하는 1-부텐 분리탑과 고순도의 1-부텐 컬럼으로 공정으로 구성되어있다. 1-부텐 생산량은 종래의 분리에 의한 것보다 40~60 wt% 증가한다.

동결농축법은 열역학적 효율이 높고 에너지 소비량이 작으며 처리수를 재활용할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 중소규모로 상용화 가능한 동결농축폐수처리시스템을 설계하고, 각 시스템의 에너지 소비효율과 일일처리량을 비교하여 시스템 개발방향을 제안하고자 하였다. 시스템을 완속운전시스템과 급속운전시스템으로 각각 모델링하고 해석을 통해 소비동력과 운전시간을 계산하여 비교한 다음 설계처리량에 따른 변화를 추가 검토하였다. 연구결과 급속운전시스템의 소비전력량비가 0.6 Wh/kg 만큼 다소 높으나 일일처리량은 19 % 증가하였으며, 설계처리량이 큰 시스템일수록 소비전력량비가 작아지고 일일처리량이 큰 결과를 얻었다.

Dimethyl ether (DME) is a new clean fuel as an environmentally-benign energy resource. DME can be manufactured from various energy sources including natural gas, coal, and biomass. In addition to its environmentally friendly properties, DME has similar characteristics to those of LPG. The aim of this article is to represent the development of new DME process with KOGAS's own technologies. KOGAS has investigated and developed new innovative DME synthesis process from synthesis gas in gaseous phase fixed bed reactor. DME has been traditionally produced by the dehydration of methanol which is produced from syngas, a product of natural gas reforming. This traditional process is thus called the two-step method of preparing DME. However, DME can also be manufactured directly from syngas (single-step). The single-step method needs only one reactor for the synthesis of DME, instead of two for the two-step process. It can also alleviate the thermodynamic limitations associated with the synthesis of methanol, by converting the produced methanol into DME, thereby potentially enhancing the overall conversion of syngas into DME. KOGAS had launched the 10 ton/day DME demonstration plant project in 2004 at Incheon KOGAS LNG terminal. In the mid of 2008, KOGAS had finished the construction of this plant and has successively finished the demonstration plant operation. And since 2008, we have established the basic design of commercial plant which can produce 3,000 ton/day DME.

다양한 기판 온도와 산화 가스 압력 하에서 i-beam 스퍼터링 법으로 BiSrCaCuO 박막을 제작하였다. 기판온도 $T_{sub}$와 산화 가스 압력 $pO_3$를 변화시키며 제작된 Bi2212 및 Bi2223 박막의 생성상도를 작성하였다. Bi2212 조성으로 스퍼터링 하였으나 Bi2212 상 뿐 아니라 Bi2201 상과 Bi2223 상이 모두 생성되었고, Bi2212나 Bi2223 단상은 매우 좁은 온도 영역에서만 형성되었다. 생성 엔탈피의 변화 ${\Delta}{\bar}HO_2$와 생성 엔트로피의 변화 ${\Delta}{\bar}SO_2$에 대한 열역학적인 계산을 통해 Bi2212 단상이 형성된 경우 각각 -260 kJ/mol 및 $-225J/mol{\cdot}K$의 값을 얻었다.

Carbon-encapsulated Ni catalysts are synthesized by an electrical explosion of wires (EEW) method and applied for CO₂ methanation. We find that the presence of carbon shell on Ni nanoparticles as catalyst can positively affect CO₂ methanation reaction. Ni@5C that is produced under 5 % CH₄ partial pressure in Ar gas has highest conversions of 68 % at 350 ℃ and 70 % at 400 ℃, which are 73 and 75 % of the thermodynamic equilibrium conversion, respectively. The catalyst of Ni@10C with thicker carbon layer shows much reduced activity. The EEW-produced Ni catalysts with low specific surface area outperform Ni catalysts with high surface area synthesized by solution-based precipitation methods. Our finding in this study shows the possibility of utilizing carbon-encapsulated metal catalysts for heterogeneous catalysis reaction including CO₂ methanation. Furthermore, EEW, which is a highly promising method for massive production of metal nanoparticles, can be applied for various catalysis system, requiring scaled-up synthesis of catalysts.

The article deals with the problems of application of microwave methods in systems of geoecological monitoring of natural environments and resources of the agro-industrial complex. It is noted that the methods of microwave radiometry make it possible, by the power of the measured intrinsic radio-thermal radiation of the atmosphere, when solving inverse problems using empirical and semi-empirical models, to determine such parameters of the atmosphere as thermodynamic temperature, humidity, water content, moisture content, precipitation intensity, and the presence of different fractions of clouds.In addition to assessing the meteorological parameters of the atmosphere and the geophysical parameters of the underlying surface based on the data of microwave radiometric measurements, it is possible to promptly detect and study pollution of both the atmosphere and the earth's surface. A technique has been developed for the analysis of sources of measurement error and their numerical evaluation, because they have a significant effect on the accuracy of solving inverse problems of reconstructing the values of the physical parameters of the probed media.To analyze the degree of influence of the limited spatial selectivity of the antenna of the microwave radiometric system on the measurement error, we calculated the relative measurement error of the ratio of radio brightness contrasts in two angular directions. It has been determined that in the system of geoecological monitoring of natural environments, the effect of background noise is maximal with small changes in the radiobrightness temperature during angular scanning and high sensitivity of the receiving equipment.

양이온 계면활성제인 tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB)에 의한 크레졸 이성질체의 가용화에 미치는 치환기, 온도 그리고 NaCl과 n-부탄올과 같은 첨가제의 효과를 UV-Vis법으로 측정하였다. 가용화상수(K_s)값은 o-크레졸s값은 감소하였다. 크레졸 이성질체들의 가용화에 대하여 계산한 ∆G^o값과 ∆H^o값은 모두 음의 값을 나타내었다. 그러나 ∆S^o값은 모두 양의 값을 나타내었다. 또한 ∆G^o값은 n-부탄올의 농도가 증가할수록 증가하는 경향을 그러나 NaCl의 농도가 증가할수록 더욱 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 사실들로부터 크레졸 이성질체들의 가용화에는 엔탈피와 엔트로피가 동시에 기여하고 있으며, 또한 크레졸분자들이 가용화되는 위치는 미셀의 표면이나 palisade층에서 주로 이루어짐을 알 수 있다.

Urea oxidation reaction (UOR) via electrochemical oxidation process can replace oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for green hydrogen production since UOR has lower thermodynamic potential (0.37 V_RHE) than that of OER (1.23 V_RHE). However, in the case of UOR, 6 electrons are required for the entire UOR. For this reason, the reaction rate is slower than OER, which requires 4 electrons. In addition, it is an important challenge to develop catalysts in which both oxidation reactions (UOR and OER) are active since the active sites of OER and UOR are opposite to each other. We prove that among the NiFe₂O₄ nanoparticles synthesized by the hydrothermal method at various synthesis temperatures, NiFe₂O₄ nanoparticle with properly controlled particle size and crystallinity can actively operate OER and UOR at the same time.

유리섬유 강화 CNT-에폭시 나노복합재료의 계면특성은 미세역학적 시험법과 젖음성 측정을 통하여 평가하였다. CNT-에폭시 나노복합재료의 접촉저항은 전기적 접촉부가 일정하게 점차적으로 증가하는 경사형 (gradient) 시편으로 측정되었다. CNT-에폭시나노복합재료의 접촉저항은 2-점법 대신에 4-점법을 사용하여 평가하였다. 불균일한 표면에 존재하는 소수성 영역 때문에 CNT-에폭시 나노복합재료의 어떤 부분은 초소수성보다는 다소 낮은 접촉각인 120도를 가졌다. 표면처리된 유리섬유는 에칭된 섬유 표면의 흠이 있지만 인장 강성도는 약간의 변화가 나타나는 반면에, 인장강도는 현저하게 감소하였다. 에칭된 유리섬유와 CNT-에폭시 나노복합재료는 표면 에너지와 거친 정도가 증가함으로써, 계면전단강도가 증가되었다 열역학적 에너지 일인 $W_a$가 증가함에 따라, 기계적 계면전단강도와 겉보기 강성도 모두 상호일치하게 증가를 보여주었다.
