In order to survey the seasonal variation of the chemical composition of particulate matter of $2.5{\mu}m$ or less ($PM_{2.5}$), $PM_{2.5}$ was sampled from 8 February 2013 to 31 March 2014 in an industrial area of Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Chemical measurements of the sample included: ionic components ($Na^+$, $NH_4{^+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $K^+$, $Cl^-$, $NO_3{^-}$ and $SO_4{^{2-}}$), carbonaceous components - organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC), and water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC). Also, secondary organic carbon (SOC) was measured based using the EC tracer method, and char-EC and soot-EC were calculated from the analytical results. The data obtained were interpreted in terms of temporal variation. Of the overall mean value of $PM_{2.5}$ mass concentration obtained during the study period, ionic components, OC and EC accounted for 45.3%, 19.7%, and 8.0%, respectively. $NO_3{^-}$ showed a unique seasonal distribution pattern due to a dependence on temperature and absolute humidity. It was estimated that an approximate temperature of $14^{\circ}C$, and absolute humidity of $7g/m^3$ were critical for the reversible reaction of $NH_4NO_3(p){\leftrightharpoons}NH_3(g)+HNO_3(g)$. The amount of OC and EC contributing to the monthly $PM_{2.5}$ mass concentration was higher in autumn and winter compared to spring and summer. This result could be attributed to the impact of burning biomass, since WSOC and the ratio of char-EC/soot-EC showed a similar pattern during the corresponding period. From the comparison of monthly WSOC/OC values, a maximum ratio of 83% was obtained in August (summer). The WSOC and estimated SOC levels derived from the EC tracer method correlated (R=0.77) in summer. The high occurrence of WSOC during summer was mainly due to the formation of SOC by photochemical reactions. Through long-term observation of $PM_{2.5}$ chemical components, we established that the degree to which the above-mentioned factors influence $PM_{2.5}$ composition, fluctuates with seasonal changes.

본 연구에서는 NaCl/$H_3PO_4$ 혼합수용액을 사용하여 라이오셀 섬유의 내염화 처리를 수행하고 이에 따른 열 안정성과 내산화성의 향상 효과를 고찰하였다. 라이오셀 섬유를 다양한 공정조건으로 내염화 처리한 후 열 안정성과 내산화성을 측정 및 분석하고 그에 따른 메커니즘을 제시하였다. 실험결과, 내염화 처리된 라이오셀 섬유의 적분 열분해 온도(integral procedural decomposition temperature, IPDT)와 한계산소지수(limited oxygen index, LOI)는 약 23, 30% 증가하였으며, 활성화 에너지(activation energy, $E_a$) 값은 약 24% 향상된 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 $H_3PO_4$와 NaCl가 연소시 에스테르화 반응, 탈수소화 반응 및 C-C결합의 분해반응으로 char 형성을 촉진하고 섬유 표면에 형성된 탄소 층을 형성함으로써, 고분자 수지 내부로 산소와 열 공급을 물리적으로 차단하여 열 안정성과 내산화성이 향상된 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로, NaCl/$H_3PO_4$ 혼합수용액을 이용한 내염화 처리 공정의 최적화된 인자 및 메커니즘을 제시하였고 열 안정성과 내산화성이 향상된 라이오셀을 성공적으로 제조하였다.

라이오셀 섬유의 열 안정성과 내산화성을 향상시키기 위하여 $Na_3PO_4$ 수용액으로 내염화 처리를 실시하였다. 다양한 공정조건으로 라이오셀 섬유를 내염화 처리한 후 열 안정성과 내산화성을 측정 및 분석하고 그에 따른 메커니즘을 고찰하였다. 내염화 처리된 라이오셀 섬유의 적분 열분해 온도(integral procedural decomposition temperature, IPDT)와 활성화 에너지(activation energy, $E_a$)값은 각각 약 30, 160%로 향상된 것을 알 수 있었다. 이는 $Na_3PO_4$가 연소 시 에스테르화 반응, 탈수소화 반응 및 C-C 결합의 분해반응으로 char 형성을 촉진하여 섬유 표면에 보호층을 형성하여, 고분자 수지 내부로 산소와 열 공급을 물리적으로 차단하여 열 안정성과 내산화성이 향상된 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로, $Na_3PO_4$ 수용액을 이용하여 열 안정성과 내산화성이 향상된 라이오셀을 제조하였고, 내염화 처리공정의 최적화된 인자 및 메커니즘을 고찰하였다.

Upon direct/indirect exposure to flame or heat, composite structures may burn or thermally buckle. This issue becomes more important in the natural fiber-based composite structures with higher flammability and lower mechanical properties. The main goal of the present study was to obtain an optimal eco-friendly composite system with low flammability and high thermal buckling resistance. The studied composite consisted of polypropylene (PP) and short abaca fiber (AF) with eggshell powder (ESP) and halloysite clay nanotubes (HNTs) additives. An optimal base composite, consisting of 30 wt.% AF and 70 wt.% PP, abbreviated as OAP, was initially introduced based on burning rate (BR) and the Young's modulus determined by horizontal burning test (HBT) and tensile test, respectively. The effects of adding ESP to the base composite were then investigated with the same experimental tests. The results indicated that though the BR significantly decreased with the increase of ESP content up to 6 wt.%, it had a very destructive influence on the stiffness of the composite. To compensate for the damaging effect of ESP, small amount of HNT was used. The performance of OAP composite with 6 wt.% ESP and 3 wt.% HNT (OAPEH) was explored by conducting HBT, cone calorimeter test (CCT) and tensile test. The experimental results indicated a 9~23 % reduction in almost all flammability parameters such as heat release rate (HRR), total heat released (THR), maximum average rate of heat emission (MARHE), total smoke released (TSR), total smoke production (TSP), and mass loss (ML) during combustion. Furthermore, the combination of 6 wt.% ESP and 3 wt.% HNT reduced the stiffness of OAP to an insignificant amount by maximum 3%. Moreover, the char residue analysis revealed the distinct differences in the formation of char between AF/PP and AF/PP/ESP/HNT composites. Afterward, dilatometry test was carried out to examine the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of OAP and OAPEH samples. The obtained results showed that the CTE of OAPEH composite was about 18% less than that of OAP. Finally, a theoretical model was used based on first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) to predict the critical bucking temperatures of the OAP and OAPEH composite plates. It was shown that in the absence of mechanical load, the critical buckling temperatures of OAPEH composite plates were higher than those of OAP composites, such that the difference between the buckling temperatures increased with the increase of thickness. On the contrary, the positive effect of CTE reduction on the buckling temperature decreased by raising the axial compressive mechanical load on the composite plates which can be assigned to the reduction of stiffness after the incorporation of ESP. The results of present study generally stated that a suitable combination of AF, PP, ESP, and HNT can result in a relatively optimal and environmentally friendly composite with proper flame and thermal buckling resistance with no significant decline in the stiffness.

목재는 연소성이 높은 본질적인 결함을 가지고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 자연 건조된 굴참나무와 느티나무의 연소성질을 시험하였다. 열방출율과 CO/$CO_2$ 발생과 연기차폐와 같은 연기지수를 콘칼로리미터(ISO 5660-1)를 이용하여 측정하였다. $50kW/m^2$의 외부 열유속하에서 굴참나무의 총 방출열량, THR ($140.2MJ/m^2$)은 느티나무의 THR ($85.7MJ/m^2$) 과 비교하여 높게 나타났다. 그리고 굴참나무의 총 연기발생량, $TSP3.50m^2$는 느티나무의 $TSP0.65m^2$에 비하여 높게 나타났다. 이들 결과는 시험목의 체적밀도에 의존함을 보여준다. CO/$CO_2$ 발생비는 굴참나무와 느티나무가 각각 0.053, 0.043을 나타내었다. 또한 느티나무가 굴참나무에 비해 숯생성으로 인한 증대된 연소 억제성을 보여주었다.

With the increasing environmental consideration and stricter regulations, gasification of waste is considered to be more attractive technology than conventional incineration for energy recovery as well as material recycling. The experiment for combustible waste mixed with plastic and cellulosic materials was performed in the fixed bed gasifier to investigate the gasification behavior with the operating conditions. Waste pelletized with a diameter of 2~3cm and 5cm of length was gasified at the temperature range of 1100~145$0^{\circ}C$. It was shown that the composition of H$_2$ was in the range of 30~40% and CO 15~30% depending upon oxygen/waste ratio. Casification of waste due to thermoplastic property from mixed plastic melting and thermal cracking shows a prominent difference from that of coal or coke. It was desirable to maintain the top temperature up to foot to ensure the mass transfer and uniform reaction through the packed bed. As the bed height was increased, the formation of H$_2$ and CO was increased whilst $CO_2$ decreased by the char-$CO_2$ reaction and plastic cracking. From the experimental results, the cold gas efficiency was around 61% and heating values of product gases were in the range of 2800~3200㎉/Nm3.

Magnesium hydroxide-melamine core-shell particles were prepared through the coating of melamine monomer on the surface of magnesium hydroxide in the presence of phosphoric acid. The melamine monomer was dissolved in hot water but recrystallized on the surface of magnesium hydroxide by quenching to room temperature in the presence of phosphoric acid. The core-shell particle was applied to low-density polyethylene/ ethylene vinyl acetate (LDPE/EVA) resin by melt-compounding at $180^{\circ}C$ as flame retardant. The effect of magnesium hydroxide and melamine content has been studied on the flame retardancy of the core-shell particles in LDPE/EVA resin according to the preparation process and purity of magnesium hydroxide. Magnesium hydroxide prepared with sodium hydroxide rather than with ammonia solution revealed higher flame retardancy in core-shell particles with LDPE/EVA resin. At 50 wt% loading of flame retardant, core-shell particles revealed higher flame retardancy compared to that of the exclusive magnesium hydroxide in LDPE/EVA composite, and it was possible to satisfy the V0 grade in the UL-94 vertical test. The synergistic flame retardant effect of magnesium hydroxide and melamine core-shell particles was explained as being due to the endothermic decomposition of magnesium hydroxide and melamine, which was followed by the evolution of water from the magnesium hydroxide and porous char formation due to reactive nitrogen compounds, and carbon dioxide generated from melamine.

In this study, combustion and smoke release characteristics of a non-class 1E cable for nuclear power plants were investigated according to aging period. The aging was reproduced through an accelerated aging method for interval of 10 years :10, 20, 30 and 40 year, which was applied the Arrhenius equation. The cable was subjected to accelerated aging. In order to understand combustion and smoke release characteristics, the cone calorimeter test was performed according to the standard code of KS F ISO 5660-1. Heat release rate, mass loss rate, average rate of heat emission and smoke production rate were examined through cone calorimeter test. Fire performance index, fire growth index and smoke factor were derived from test results for the comparison of quantitative fire risk. When comparing the fire performance index and the fire growth index, the early fire risk tends to decrease as aging progresses, which might be attributed from the fact that the volatile substances of cables were evaporated. However, when comparing the heat release rate, average rate of heat emission and mass loss rate, which represent the mid and late periods of the fire risk, the values of accelerated aging cables were much higher than those of non-aged cable, which signifies the unstable formation of the char layer resulted in the change in the performance of flame retardants. In addition, the results from the smoke characteristics show that the accelerated aging cables were lager than the non-aged cables in terms of overall fire risk. These results can be used as baseline data when assessing fire risk of cables and establishing fire safety code for nuclear power plants.

본 연구에서는 굴참나무의 열분해 및 촉매 열분해에 바이오매스 반탄화가 미치는 영향에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 굴참나무와 반탄화된 굴참나무의 열분해 및 촉매 열분해 거동은 열중량분석 결과와 회분식반응기를 이용한 급속열분해 반응에서 얻어진 바이오오일의 생성물분포를 비교하여 평가하였다. 굴참나무와 반탄화된 굴참나무의 열중량 곡선 및 미중열중량곡선은 굴참나무 내 헤미셀룰로오스의 제거량은 반탄화 온도 및 시간을 증가시킴에 따라 증가됨을 나타내었다. 굴참나무의 반탄화과정에서 헤미셀룰로오스의 제거로 굴참나무 내 셀룰로오스와 리그닌의 함량이 증가되기 때문에 열분해 과정에서 오일의 수율은 감소하고 고형 촤 수율은 증가하였다. 반탄화 굴참나무의 열분해 오일 중 레보글루코산과 페놀류의 선택도는 굴참나무 열분해 오일에 비해 높았다. 바이오오일 중 방향족 화합물의 함량은 HZSM-5 ($SiO_2/Al_2O_3=30$) 상에서 굴참나무 및 반탄화된 굴참나무의 촉매열분해를 적용함으로써 증가되었다. 굴참나무에 비해, 반탄화 굴참나무는 HZSM-5를 이용한 촉매 열분해를 통한 방향족화합물 형성에 더 높은 효율을 보였고 더 높은 반탄화 온도($280^{\circ}C$) 및 반응온도($600^{\circ}C$)를 적용함으로써 극대화되었다.
