The electric charge on a membrane was investigated by analyzing the experimental rejection of various monovalent and divalent ionic solutes. The characteristics of the separation of ionic solutes using various nanofiltration membranes were obtained from an experimental nanofiltration set-up, with a surface area of $40cm^2$ under the operational pressures between 0.25-0.3 MPa. The state of the membrane electric charge was observed using separation coefficients, i.e., the permeation ratio of monovalent to divalent ions. To confirm the state of the membrane charge observed via the separation coefficient, a calculation using the extended Nernst-Planck equation, coupled with the Donnan equilibrium, assuming different electric charge states of the membrane, was compared with the experimental rejection of ionic solutes. The examination of the characteristics of separation using three types of nanofiltration membranes showed that one of the membranes carried a negative/positive double charge density inside, while other two membranes carried either a positive or negative charge density.

A characterization of the permeation and separation using single salt solution was carried out with charged composite membranes. Various charged composite membranes were fabricated by blending an ionic polymer with a nonionic polymer in different ratios. In this study, sodium alginate, chitosan and poly(vinyl alcohol) were employed as anionic, cationic and nonionic polymers, respectively. The permeation and separation behaviors of the aqueous salt solutions have been investigated through the charged composite membranes with various charge densities. As the content of the ionic polymer increased in the membrane, the hydrophilicity of the membrane increased, and pure water flux and the solution flux increased correspondingly, indicating that the permeation performance through the membrane is determined mainly by its hydrophilicity. Electrostatic interaction between the charged membrane and ionic solute molecules, that is, Donnan exclusion, was observed to be attributed to salt rejection to a greater extent, and molecular sieve mechanism was effective for the separation of salts under a similar electrostatic circumstance of solutes.

플라스틱은 아주 유용한 물질로서 우리 일상생활에 폭넓게 이용되고 있다. 국내에서는 약 400 만톤의 폐플라스틱이 발생되고 있지만 재활용율은 30% 이하로 대부분 소각이나 매립에 의해 처리되고 있다. 따라서 폐플라스틱을 재활용할 수 있는 재질분리 기술개발 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 폐플라스틱 종말품으로부터 PET 회수를 위한 마찰하전 정전선별이 수행되었다. 하전특성 연구결과에 의하면, PET와 PVC의 하전극성과 하전량은 HDPE와 PP의 하전물질 그리고 상대습도가 낮을수록 효과적이었다. HDPE 싸이클론 하전장치를 이용한 재질분리 실험결과, PET의 품위와 회수율은 전극전압 30 kV 이상, 분리대위치 -2cm의 조건에서 각각 96.8%와 85.0%로 얻어졌으며, 분리대의 위치(-6cm)에 따라 PET 회수율이 24% 감소하지만 품위를 98.5%까지 분리할 수 있는 기술을 개발하였다.

A particle flow visualization, electrostatic charging measurement and separation of triboelectrically charged particles in the external electric field by a fluidized bed tribocharger are conducted for the removal of PVC particles from mixed waste plastics. The laboratory-scale triboelectrostatic separation system consists of the fluidized bed tribocharger, a separation chamber, a collection chamber and a controller. PVC and PET particles can be imparted negative and positive surface charges respectively due to the difference of triboelectric charging series between particles and particles in the fluidized bed tribocharger, and can be separated by passing them through an external electric field. To visualize these charged particles, He-Ne laser is used with cylindrical lenses to generate a sheet beam. In the charging measurement, the particle motion analysis system (PMAS), capable of determining particle velocity and diameter. is used to non-intrusively measure particle behavior in high strength electric field. The average charge-to-mass ratios of PVC and PET particles are $1.4\;and\;1.2{\mu}C/kg$, respectively. The highly concentrated PVC (91.9%) can be recovered with a yield of about 96.1% from the mixture of PVC and PET materials for a single-stage processing. The triboelectrostatic separation system using the fluidized tribocharger shows the potential to be an effective method for removing PVC from mixed plastics for waste plastic recycling.

Herein, a series of g-C₃N₄ modified Bi₂MoO₆ nanocomposites using Bi₂MoO₆ and melamine as original materials are fabricated via sintering process. For presynthesis of Bi₂MoO₆ an ultrasonic-assisted hydrothermal technique is researched. The structure and composition of the nanocomposites are characterized by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The improved photoelectrochemical properties are studied by photocurrent density, EIS, and amperometric i-t curve analysis. It is found that the structure of Bi₂MoO₆ nanoparticles remains intact, with good dispersion status. The as-prepared g-C₃N₄/Bi₂MoO₆ nanocomposites (BMC 5-9) are selected and investigated by SEM analysis, which inhibits special morphology consisting of Bi₂MoO₆ nanoparticles and some g-C₃N₄ nanosheets. The introduction of small sized g-C₃N₄ nanosheets in sample BMC 9 is effective to improve the charge separation and transfer efficiency, resulting in enhancing of the photoelectric behavior of Bi₂MoO₆. The improved photoelectronic behavior of g-C₃N₄/Bi₂MoO₆ may be attributed to enhanced charge separation efficiency, photocurrent stability, and fast electron transport pathways for some energy applications.

This study describes the development of graphene-$TiO_2$ conjugates for the enhancement of the photocatalytic efficiency of $TiO_2$. Graphene-based hybrid nanomaterials have attracted considerable attention because of the unique and advantageous properties of graphene. In the proposed hybrid nanomaterial, graphene serves as an electron acceptor to ensure fast charge transfer. Effective charge separation can, therefore, be achieved to slow down electron-hole recombination. This results in an enhancement of the photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$. In addition, increased adsorption and interactions with the adsorbed reagents also lead to an improvement in the photocatalytic activity of graphene-$TiO_2$ hybrid nanomaterials. The acquired result is encouraging in that the photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$ was initiated using visible light (630 nm) instead of the typical UV light.

본 연구는 제작된 방사선 측정시스템을 평가하기 위한 방법중의 하나인 유효측정점을 명확히 정하기 위하여 실행되었다. 일반적으로 원통형이나 두 전극간의 간격이 매우 작은 평행평판형 이온함의 경우 유효측정점은 잘 정의 되어있다. 그 정의에 의하면 그리 크지 않은 체적을 갖는 평행평판형 이온함의 유효측정점은 방사선이 입사되는 윗면의 바로 아래로 정의한다고 되어있다. 그러나 본 연구에서 제작한 이온함과 같이 두 전극간의 간격을 비교적 크게 할 경우 위의 정의는 더 이상 유효하지 않을 수도 있을 것으로 생각되어 평행평판형 이온함의 두 전극간의 간격을 3, 6, 10 mm로 하여 체적이 0.9, 1.9, 3.1 cc로 비교적 크게 한 경우에 그 유효측정점의 변화를 검토하고자 하였다. 실험은 의료용 선형가속기로부터 발생가능한 광자선 6, 10 MV와 전자선 6, 12 MeV에 대하여 시행되었으며, 방법은 이온함의 buildup의 두께를 증가시켜가면서 방사선의 측정선량이 최대가 되는 깊이를 조사하였다. 그 결과 광자선과 전자선의 경우 조사된 모든 에너지에 대하여 그 정도의 차이는 있으나 전반적으로 이온함의 체적이 커짐에 따라서 즉, 두 전극간의 간격이 멀어짐에 따라서 유효측정점이 이온함의 윗면에서부터 이온함의 중심 쪽으로 이동하는 경향을 보였다. 그 정도는 이온함 체적의 크기가 커질수록 더 크게 이동하는 양상을 보였다. 이와 같은 결과로 볼 때 평행평판형 이온함의 경우는 두 전극간의 간격이 어느 정도 큰 경우에는 유효측정점이 변하게 됨으로 이온함의 체적에 따라서 그 유효측정점을 조사할 필요가 있다고 생각된다.

The most general photocatalyst, $TiO_2$ and $WO_3$, are acknowledged to be ineffective in range of visible light. Therefore, many efforts have been directed at improving their activity such as: band-gap narrowing with non-metal element doping and making composites with high specific surface area to effectively separate electrons and holes. In this paper, the method was introduced to prepare a photo-active catalyst to visible irradiation by making a mixture with $TiO_2$ and $WO_3$. In the $TiO_2-WO_3$ composite, $WO_3$ absorbs visible light creating excited electrons and holes while some of the excited electrons move to $TiO_2$ and the holes remain in $WO_3$. This charge separation reduces electron-hole recombination resulting in an enhancement of photocatalytic activity. Added Ag plays the role of electron acceptor, retarding the recombination rate of excited electrons and holes. In making a mixture of $TiO_2-WO_3$ composite, the mixing route affects the photocatalytic activity. The planetary ball-mill method is more effective than magnetic stirring route, owing to a more effective dispersion of aggregated powders. The volume ratio of $TiO_2(4)$ and $WO_3(6)$ shows the most effective photocatalytic activity in the range of visible light in the view point of effective separation of electrons and holes.

In this work, Ag₃PO₄/In₂S₃ nanocomposites with low loading of In₂S₃ (5-15 wt %) are fabricated by two step chemical precipitation approach. The microstructure, composition and improved photoelectrochemical properties of the as-prepared composites are studied by X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photocurrent density, EIS and amperometric i-t curve analysis. It is found that most of In₂S₃ nanoparticles are deposited on the surfaces of Ag₃PO₄. The as-prepared Ag₃PO₄/In₂S₃ composite (10 wt%) is selected and investigated by SEM and TEM, which exhibits special morphology consisting of lager size substrate (Ag₃PO₄), particles and some nanosheets (In₂S₃). The introduction of In₂S₃ is effective at improving the charge separation and transfer efficiency of Ag₃PO₄/In₂S₃, resulting in an enhancement of photoelectric behavior. The origin of the enhanced photoelectrochemical activity of the In₂S₃-modified Ag₃PO₄ may be due to the improved charge separation, photocurrent stability and oriented electrons transport pathways in environment and energy applications.
