Conventional geotechnical engineering soil binders such as ordinary cement or lime have environmental issues in terms of sustainable development. Thus, environmentally friendly materials have attracted considerable interest in modern geotechnical engineering. Microbial biopolymers are being actively developed in order to improve geotechnical engineering properties such as aggregate stability, strength, and hydraulic conductivity of various soil types. This study evaluates the geotechnical engineering shear behavior of sand treated with xanthan gum biopolymer through laboratory direct shear testing. Xanthan gum-sand mixtures with various xanthan gum content (percent to the mass of sand) and gel phases (initial, dried, and re-submerged) were considered. Xanthan gum content of 1.0% sufficiently improves the inter-particle cohesion of cohesionless sands 3.8 times and more (up to 14 times for dried state) than in the untreated (natural) condition, regardless of the xanthan gum gel condition. In general, the strength of xanthan gum-treated sand shows dependency with the rheology and phase of xanthan gum gels in inter-granular pores, which decreases in order as dried (biofilm state), initial (uniform hydrogel), and re-submerged (swollen hydrogel after drying) states. As xanthan gum hydrogels are pseudo-plastic, both inter-particle friction angle and cohesion of xanthan gum-treated sand decrease with water adsorbed swelling at large strain levels. However, for 2% xanthan gum-treated sands, the re-submerged state shows a higher strength than the initial state due to the gradual and non-uniform swelling behavior of highly concentrated biofilms.

망간단괴를 흡착제로 활용하고자 망간단괴에 대한 아황산가스의 흡착실험을 수행하였다. EGME 흡착법에 의해 측정한 망간단괴의 비표면적은 약 $221.5m^{2}/g$ 정도의 수치를 보였으며, 망간단괴의 화학조성을 살펴본 결과 58% 이상을 Mn이 차지함을 알 수 있었고 아황산가스 흡착 후 S의 함량은 15.4%로 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 아황산가스로 흡착된 망간단괴를 증류수 및 메탄올로 세척하여 EPMA를 분석한 결과 S의 함량이 각각 14.7% 및 13.1%로 약간 감소하는 것으로 조사되었다. 망간단괴의 X-선 회절 스펙트럼을 통해 망간단괴는 망간 산화물인 Todorokite 와 Bimessite 그리고 실리콘 산화물인 Quartz 및 칼슘 알루미늄 산화물인 Anorthite 로 판명되는 약한 peat 만이 나타나는 것으로 파악되었다. 아황산가스로 흡착시킨 후 망간단괴의 X-선 회절 스펙트럼은 약간의 변화를 나타냈으며 $MnSO_{4}$로 판명되는 약한 피크를 확인할 수 있었다. 타흡착제로 사용한 석회석에 대한 아황산가스의 흡착반응은 $CaSO_{4}$의 생성을 야기하지 않는 것으로 판단되었다. 흡착제의 입자 크기가 증가할수록 파과시간은 감소하고 망간단괴에 대한 아황산가스의 흡착량 또한 감소하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 아황산가스의 유량이 증가할수록 흡착량은 감소함을 보였고, 타흡착제로 사용한 석회석은 망간단괴에 비해 단위 g당 흡착되는 양이 작았으며 석회석과의 혼합은 망간단괴에 대한 아황산가스의 흡착량 향상에 영향을 미치지 않은 것으로 조사되었다. 반응온도가 증가할수록 같은 반응시간동안 망간단괴에 흡착된 아황산가스의 양은 감소하는 것으로 조사되었다.

다공질매체를 통한 미세 입자의 이동은 고함수비 오염준설토의 탈수 및 오염물질의 제거와 같은 지반의 안정화 처리 및 토양의 정화에 있어서 중요한 메커니즘이 되고 있다. 일반적으로 음전하를 갖는 미세 입자들은 동전기영동의 영향으로 양극(+)방향으로 이동하게 된다. 그러나 중금속과 같은 양전하를 띈 오염물질로 흡착된 미세 입자의 경우 중금속의 종류 및 오염도에 따라 동전기영동에 의한 움직임은 제약을 받을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 자연상태의 미세토립자의 침강거동 및 직류전류의 영향 하에서 발생되는 동전기영동에 의한 침강 거동에 대하여 조사하였다.

화재 시 발생하는 연기는 가스상 물질과 이들을 흡착한 미연탄소 등의 입자상 물질로 이루어져 있다. 연기 중 가스상 물질의 흡입에 의한 인체피해는 대부분 단기적으로 이루어지는 데 비하여 입자상 물질의 흡입에 의한 피해는 가스상의 흡착상태에 따라서 상대적으로 장기적으로 이루어진다. 입자상 물질이 호흡기벽에 침착하여 호흡기 및 순환기 계통에 영향을 미치는 것과 관련하여, 침착되는 연기입자의 양과 호흡기 내 침착위치는 인체피해 산정의 중요한 요소인데, 이들은 연소조건에 영향을 받는 크기 및 농도 등 입자상태와 함께 호흡조건에 영향을 받는다. 이 연구에서는 화재 시 발생하는 연기의 흡입에 의한 인체피해 연구와 관련된 호흡기 내 연기입자 침착특성 파악을 위하여 연료종류, 연소조건 및 호흡조건에 따라 호흡기 내 영역별로 침착되는 연기입자의 입경에 따른 개수 및 질량 농도를 구하였다. 또한 각 조건별로 흡입연기의 일정기간 동안 호흡기 내 질량 침착량을 대기환경 미세먼지 기준치와 비교 분석하였다.

This study describes (1) the impact of positive sampling artifacts caused by not only a filter-based sampling, but also a denuder-based sampling in the determination of particle-phase organic carbon (POC), (2) the effect of sample flow rate on positive artifacts, and (3) an optimum flow rate that provides a minimized negative sampling artifact for the denuder-based sampling method. To achieve the goals of this study, four different sampling media combinations were employed: (1) Quartz filter-alone (Q-alone), (2) quartz filter behind quartz-fiber filter (QBQ), (3) quartz filter and quartz filter behind Teflon filter (Q-QBT), and (4) quartz filter behind carbon-based denuder (Denuder-Q). The measurement of ambient POC was carried out in an urban area. In addition, to determine gas-phase OC (GOC) removal efficiency of the denuder, a Teflon filter and a quartz filter were deployed upstream and downstream of the denuder, respectively with varying sample flow rates: 5, 10, 20, and 30 LPM. It was found that Q-alone sampling configuration showed a higher POC than QBQ, Q-QBT, and Denuder-Q by 12%, 28%, and 23%, respectively at a sample flow rate of 20 LPM due to no correction for positive artifact caused by adsorption of GOC onto the filter. A lower quantity of GOC was collected from the backup quartz filter on QBQ than that from Q-QBT. This was because GOC was not in equilibrium with that adsorbed on the front quartz filter of QBQ during the sampling period. It is observed that the loss of particle number and mass across the denuder increases with decreasing sample flow rate. The contribution o f positive arti facts to POC decreased with increasing sample flow rate, showing 29%, 25%, and 22% for 10, 20, and 30 LPM, respectively. The 20 LPM turns out to be the optimum sample flow rate for both filter and denuder-based POC sampling.

A promising candidate material for a $H_2$ permeable membrane is SiC due to its many unique properties. A hydrogen-selective SiC membrane was successfully fabricated on the outer surface of an intermediate multilayer $\gamma-Al_2O_3$ with a graded structure. The $\gamma-Al_2O_3$ multilayer was formed on top of a macroporous $\alpha-Al_2O_3$ support by consecutively dipping into a set of successive solutions containing boehmite sols of different particle sizes and then calcining. The boehmite sols were prepared from an aluminum isopropoxide precursor and heated to $80^{\circ}C$ with high speed stirring for 24 hrs to hydrolyze the precursor. Then the solutions were refluxed at $92^{\circ}C$ for 20 hrs to form a boehmite precipitate. The particle size of the boehmite sols was controlled according to various experimental parameters, such as acid types and acid concentrations. The topmost SiC layer was formed on top of the intermediate $\gamma-Al_2O_3$ by pyrolysis of a SiC precursor, polycarbosilane, in an Ar atmosphere. The resulting amorphous SiC-on-$Al_2O_3$ composite membrane pyrolyzed at $900^{\circ}C$ possessed a high $H_2$ permeability of $3.61\times10^{-7}$ $mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}{\cdot}Pa^{-1}$ and the $H_2/CO_2$ selectivity was much higher than the theoretical value of 4.69 in all permeation temperature ranges. Gas permeabilities through a SiC membrane are affected by Knudsen diffusion and a surface diffusion mechanism, which are based on the molecular weight of gas species and movement of adsorbed gas molecules on the surface of the pores.

This investigation involves a study of the physical and chemical factors of Pinus densiflora SIEB. et ZUCC. and Quercus mongolica Fisher barks affecting on the adsorption of heavy mteal ions. The results obtained can be summarized as follows. 1. The capacity of the untreated bark to remove the Cu and Cd from solution was similar to or 5% higher than that of formaldehyde treated bark in both species. Considering that untreated bark lead to color-leaching problem, bark treated with formaldehyde are economical. 2. With decreasing particle size of bark(20-80), the adsorption ratio of the Cu and Cd from solution was increased. Quercus bark adsorbed more Cu and Cd at smaller particle size compared to Pinus bark. 3. The heavy metal eqilibrium adsorption of the bark from Cu and Cd solution was attained within 10 min. Pinus bark removed about 48% of the Cu and 41% of the Cd from solution in 10 min while Quercus bark removed about 50% during that period. 4. As the initial metal concentration increased. the absolute metal uptake was increased while percentage removal was decreased. At the lower metal concentration (10 ppm). Pinus and Quercus barks removed 77-94% of the Cu and 72-84% of the Cd. At high metal concentration (200 ppm), the adsorption ratio was 40% Cu and 25% Cd, respectivelty. 5. The maximum adsorption of the Cu and Cd from solution was obtained at pH 5-6 in filtrate. 6. With increased bark weight per given metal concentration, absolute removal of metal ion from solution was increased, but the percentage removal was decreased. The amount of adsorption was 4.2 mg Cu and 4.2 mg Cd per gr. Pinus, bark and 5.4 mg Cu and 4.3 mg Cd per gr. Quercus bark, respectively.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of chitosan treatment on the dyeing of cotton fabric using charcoal as colorants. Particle size of charcoal, dyeability(K/S), SEM morphology of dyed fabrics and color fastness were also investigated. In this study, cotton fabrics were treated with a crosslinking agent epichlorohydrin in the presence of chitosan to provide the cotton fabrics the dyeing properties of natural dye by the chemical linking of chitosan to the cellulose structure. The results obtained were as follows; Mean average diameter of charcoal was 1.44 ${\mu}m$. According to various conditions, the dyeing effects of 1% chitosan treatment on the dyeing of cotton fabrics using charcoal were the highest with 10%(owb) of charcoal at $90^{\circ}C$ for 120minutes and non-treatment of cotton fabrics were the highest with 15%(owb) of charcoal at $90^{\circ}C$ for 150minutes. Overall, K/S value of 1% chitosan treatment of cotton fabrics on the natural dyeing using charcoal was higher than non-treatment of cotton fabrics. It was observed the surfaces of cotton fabrics treated with chitosan were adsorbed with charcoal powders of particle size more than a non-treated chitosan fabric by SEM. The cotton fabrics were dyed with blackish gray color by charcoal gradually according to treating chitosan. The K/S value, that is indicative of dye affinity, became higher as the increase of treated chitosan concentration. The color fastness of charcoal, washing and light fastness was excellent as 4-5 grade.
