A measurement device for gas concentration and flow rate using hot wire is developed for the utilization in industrial applications. The device has two cells of measuring and reference, and a bridge circuit is installed to detect electric current through the hot wire in the cells. An amplification of the signal and conversion to digital output are conducted for the on-line measurement with a personal computer. The flow rate of air and carbon dioxide gas is separately measured for the performance examination of the device. Also, the concentration of air-carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide-argon mixtures is determined for the same evaluation. The outcome of the performance test indicates that the accuracy and stability of the device is satisfactory for the purpose of industrial applications.

The objective of this study was to investigate the biodegradation of ethylene in an biofilter inoculated with ethylene-oxidizing microorganisms. The biofilter performance was monitored in terms of ethylene removal efficiency and carbon dioxide production. The biofilter was capable of achieving the ethylene removal efficiency as much as 100% at a residence time of 14 min and an inlet concentration of 290 ppm. Under the same conditions, carbon dioxide with a concentration of up to 546 ppm was produced. It was found that carbon dioxide was produced at a rate of 87 mg/day, which corresponded to a volume of 0.05 L/day. Observable features of the ethylene-oxidizing microorganisms, meaning microbial activity occurrence in the biofilter, were investigated with the microscopy analysis.

The pH & alkalinity adjustment method by lime and carbon dioxide($CO_2$) for corrosion control in water distribution system was investigated to evaluate the corrosion characteristics of metal pipes, such as galvanized iron, copper, stainless steel, and carbon steel. When the pH in sand filtered and ozone+GAC treated water was increased with lime and $CO_2$ from 7.5 to 8.0, the concentration of residual chlorine decreased at higher pH and longer reaction time; the concentration of trihalomethane increased. The corrosion rate of coupons with corrosion control using lime and carbon dioxide was showed much smaller than those without corrosion control using pilot-scale simulated distribution system. The galvanized iron was corroded much faster than carbon steel, copper, and stainless steel. Especially, copper and stainless steel coupons were hardly corroded. The galvanized iron and carbon steel coupons with corrosion control were produced the corrosion products less than those without corrosion control by the results of environmental scanning electron microscope(ESEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy(EDS) analyses. The galvanized iron coupon with pH and alkalinity adjustment by lime and carbon dioxide was detected about 30 percent of zinc, when the carbon steel was detected about 30 percent of calcium by calcium carbonate products formation. For the results of X-ray diffraction(XRD) analyses, the goethite(${\alpha}$-FeOOH) was identified as primary corrosion product of galvanized iron without corrosion control, while the Zinc oxide(ZnO) was found on corrosion products of galvanized iron coupon with corrosion control as the results of EDS analyses. However, the carbon steel corrosion products regardless of corrosion control were composed predominantly of maghemite(${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$) and hematite(${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$).

Polyacrylonitrile(PAN) 고분자 용액으로부터 전기방사된 고분자 나노섬유를 다양한 농도의 KOH 용액을 이용하여 다공성 나노탄소섬유를 제조하였으며, 그에 따른 세공 구조 및 이산화탄소 흡착 특성을 평가하였다. PAN 용액으로부터 제조된 활성나노탄소섬유는 KOH 활성화 농도가 증가함에 따라 섬유 직경이 감소하였으며, 표면의 산소관능기가 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 질소 흡착에 따른 세공특성을 분석한 결과 KOH 활성화 농도 증가에 따라 활성나노탄소섬유의 비표면적이 증가하고, 미세공은 4 M KOH로 활성화한 나노탄소섬유가 가장 많았으며, 중간세공은 8 M KOH로 활성화한 활성나노탄소섬유가 가장 많았다. 또한 0, $25^{\circ}C$에서 KOH 활성화제의 농도가 BET 및 XPS에서 나타난 것처럼 이산화탄소 흡착을 강화시키도록 세공 및 표면 특성에 영향을 주었다.

A supercritical carbon dioxide (SCC) process of dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) into epoxy resin has been developed to achieve MWCNT/epoxy composites (CECs) with improved mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. The synthesis of CECs has been executed at a MWCNT (phr) concentration ranging from 0.1 to 0.3 into epoxy resin (0.1 mol) at 1800 psi, $90^{\circ}C$, and 1500 rpm over 1 h followed by curing of the MWCNT/epoxy formulations with triethylene tetramine (15 phr). The effect of SCC treatment on the qualitative dispersion of MWCNTs at various concentrations into the epoxy has been investigated through spectra analyses and microscopy. The developed SCC assisted process provides a good dispersion of MWCNTs into the epoxy up to a MWCNT concentration of 0.2. The effects of SCC assisted dispersion at various concentrations of MWCNTs on modification of mechanical, thermal, dynamic mechanical thermal, and tribological properties and the electrical conductivity of CECs have been investigated.

초임계 이산화탄소를 이용하여 감태 내 지용성 색소인 fucoxanthin을 추출 및 농축하기 위하여 식물성 유래 지방산인 중쇄지방산이 선택되었다. 중쇄지방산을 이용하여 감태로부터 추출된 fucoxanthin 추출물로부터 초임계 이산화탄소를 이용하여 중쇄지방산만을 효과적으로 추출, 분리함으로써 잔존물 내에 효과적으로 fucoxanthin을 농축할 수 있었다. Fucoxanthin 농축에 높은 효율을 나타낸 세 가지 압력 및 온도 조건들로는 9.7 MPa에서 $40^{\circ}C$, 11.0 MPa에서 $45^{\circ}C$, 12.4 MPa에서 $50^{\circ}C$로 나타났다. 이 세 가지 온도 및 압력조건에서의 이산화탄소의 밀도는 거의 유사한 값을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해보면 초임계 이산화탄소를 이용한 fucoxanthin의 농축에는 이산화탄소의 밀도가 매우 중요한 인자인 것으로 확인되었다.

본 연구에서는 GOSAT으로부터 측정된 이산화탄소 농도와 이산화탄소의 분포에 영향을 미치는 토지피복, 식생지수 등을 GIS 공간분석기법과 연계하여 동북아시아 지역 이산화탄소의 공간적 분포 특성을 규명하였다. 그 결과 이산화탄소의 공간적 분포는 그 주변지역의 토지이용현황에 따라 그 패턴을 달리한다는 사실을 가시적으로 확인할 수 있었으며 이산화탄소는 도시와 같은 개발지에서 높은 농도대를 형성하는 반면 산림지역에서는 낮게 나타나고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 이산화탄소와 식생 간에는 통계적으로 유의한 수준에서 비교적 높은 부(-)의 상관관계가 존재함을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 향후 온실가스 저감 대책 및 완화를 위한 계획 수립에 있어 그 기초자료로 활용되어 질 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Utilization of underground floor is becoming the main issue of our society to maximize and diversify the potential of recent urban space. It has brought about the changes of underground floor. Recently there are lots of huge bookstores in these underground floor. Bleach, adhesive and ink used for manufacturing books pollute indoor air in bookstore. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze indoor air quality in these large bookstores. Concentrations of carbon dioxide and formaldehyde in three large bookstores in Seoul were measured by presence and type of books and distance of main entrance which is well-ventilated. According to the data, space that places lots of volumes measured higher concentration of formaldehyde than that of non-existence books. Children's book section was measured more concentration of formaldehyde than other book section. Closer main entrance near outside, lower concentration of formaldehyde was measured. Concentration of carbon dioxide was affected by the number of people in bookstore.

Monitoring the carbon dioxide concentration in arterial blood is vital for the evaluation and prevention of pulmonary disease. Yet, domestic pure arterial blood carbon dioxide sensor technologies are not being developed, instead all sensors are imported. In this paper, we develop a real time monitoring system for arterial blood partial pressure of carbon dioxide($pCO_2$) gas from the wrist by using a carbon micro-heater. The micro-heater was fabricated with a thickness of 0.3 ${\mu}m$ in order to collect the carbon dioxide under the skin. The micro-heater has been designed to perform temperature compensation in order to prevent damage to the skin. Two clinical trials of the system were undertaken. As a result, we demonstrated that a portable, transcutaneous carbon dioxide analysis($TcpCO_2$) device produced domestically is possible. In addition, this system reduced the analysis time significantly. Carbon films could reduce the unit price of these sensors by replacing the gold film used in foreign models. Also, we developed a real time monitoring system which can be used with optical biosensors for medical diagnostics as well as gas sensors for environmental monitoring.

This paper aims to describe the characteristics of air pollution using air pollutants concentration and meteorological data observed at Kimhae from December 1996 to November, 1997. The results are as follows : The concentration distribution of sulfur dioxide($SO_2$), carbon monoxide(CO), particulate matter(PM-10), and nitrogen dioxide($NO_2$) is high during the late fall and winter and low during the summer, but ozone concentration is low during the winter season and high during summer season except Jangma period and these distributions appear to be closely connected with insolation and the number of clear day. Diurnal variation of concentrations for sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, and carbon monoxide are high during the rush hours and nighttime and low during the daytime and these variations are distinct toward the winter season. And diurnal variation of nitrogen dioxide concentration has also same pattern and these patterns are closely related to the increasing traffic volume at rush hours. Diurnal variation of ozone concentration is generally increase for daytime and decrease for the late afternoon and are closely related to the insolation and photochemical reaction. The 24 hour average concentrations of air pollutant observed at Kimhae represented a positive correlation and a negative correlation for $O_3$ and also a negative correlation for the meteorological elements such as wind speed and cloud cover.
