  • Semiconductor industry has large number of chemical inventory and is easily exposed to chemical release incidents. Toxic release is one of the most interested area in evaluating consequence to the vicinity of industry facilities handling hazardous materials. Hydrofluoric acid is one of the typical chemical used in semiconductor facility and is selected and toxic release is evaluated to assess the risk impacted to its off-site. Accident scenarios were listed using process safety information. The scenarios having effect to the off-site were selected and assessed further according to guideline provided by Korea government. Worst case and alternative scenarios including other interested scenarios were evaluated using ALOHA. Each evaluated scenario was assessed further considering countermeasures. The results showed that the facility handling hydroflooric acid is safe enough and needed no further protections at the moment.

  • The purpose of this study is to minimize damage of chemical accidents through the appropriation analysis of evacuation facility position focused on Ulsan metropolitan city. For analysis, informations such as pollutant release and transfer registers(PRTR), population census, and evacuation facilities were used. After then, damage assessment of chemical accidents, accessibility and appropriation of evacuation facilities were analyzed. Damage of chemical accidents is high in around 5km of industrial complex there is dense of chemical facility and population. Evacuation facilities were mainly situated in hazard area of chemical accidents, but accessibility of evacuation facilities was vulnerable in chemical plant neighborhood. Therefore, safety check of deteriorated plants is important for prevention of chemical accidents. Also, effective evacuation plan considering capacity and scale of evacuation facilities will be established.

  • The vitamin D receptor binding peptide, VDRBP, was overexpressed as a fused form with the ubiquitin molecule in Rosetta(DE3)pLysS, a protein production strain of Escherichia coli harboring an induction controller plasmid. The fusion protein was bound to the immobilized metal ions, and the denaturation and renaturation of the fusion protein were performed as a part of the purification procedure. After the elution of the fusion protein, the peptide hormone was released from its fusion partner by using yeast ubiquitin hydrolase (YUH), and subsequently purified by reverse phase chromatography. The purity of the resulting peptide fragment was checked by MALDI-TOF mass and NMR spectroscopy. The final yields of the target peptide were around 5 and 2 mg per liter of LB and minimal media, respectively. The recombinant expression and purification of this peptide will enable structural and functional studies using multidimensional NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.

  • As CBR(Chemical, Biological, and Radiological) attack increases, the importance of CBR protective facilities is being emphasized. When CBR warfare emerges, a task force team, who exist outside of CBR protective facility, should enter the CBR protective facility through neutralizing process in CCA(Contamination Control Area) and TFA(Toxic Free Area). If a bottleneck occurs in the process or zones, the task force team cannot enter the CBR protective facility efficiently and may cause inefficiency in its operation performance or result in casualties. The current design criteria of the CBR protective facility is only limited to ventilation system and it does not consider how much time it takes to enter the facility. Therefore, this research aims to propose the entering time estimation model with discrete event simulation. To make the simulation model, the procedure performed through CCA and TFA is defined and segmented. The actual time of the procedure are measured and adapted for the simulation model. After running the simulation model, variables effecting the entering time are selected for alternatives with adjustments. This entering time estimation model for CBR protective facility is expected to help take time into consideration during the designing phase of CBR protective facility and help CBR protective facility managers to plan facility operation in a more realistic approach.

  • Since the HF release in 2012 in Korea, it became one of the most significant to evaluate consequence to the vicinity of industry facilities handling hazardous materials. BTX plant is selected to assess off-site risk to check whether the facility satisfies the Chemical Control Law by Korea Government. Accident scenarios were listed using process safety information. The scenarios having effect to the off-site were selected and assessed further according to guideline provided by Korea government. Worst case and alternative scenarios including other interested scenarios were evaluated using ALOHA. Each evaluated scenario was assessed further considering countermeasures. The results showed that the facility handling chloric acid is safe enough and needed no further protections at the moment.

  • Step and Flash Imprint Lithography is an interesting low cost alternative to traditional microlithographic processes that offers the ability to efficiently produce nanostructures at unprecedented resolution. New photopolymerizable formulations are required to enable this process. This paper will describe progress in the design and development of acrylate and vinyl ether based platforms for this application together with efforts to prepare photopolymerizable, thermally stable, magterials with low dielectric constants for use in an efficient new method for fabricating the interconnect structures in microprocessors.

  • Chloric acid is a toxic chemical and the risk of facility handling chloric acid was assessed from the list of accident scenario to provide countermeasure to keep the vicinity safe. Accident scenarios were listed by using MSDS and process safety information. The scenarios having effect to the off-site were selected and assessed further according to guideline provided by Korea government. Worst case and alternative scenarios including other interested scenarios were evaluated using ALOHA. Each evaluated scenario was assessed further considering countermeasures. The results showed that the facility handling chloric acid is safe enough and needed no further protections at the moment.
