In this study, we synthesized pH-controlled resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) gels through the polymerization of two starting materials: resorcinol and formaldehyde. The prepared RF gels were dried using an acetone substitution method, and they were subsequently carbonized under nitrogen atmosphere to obtain carbon xerogels (CX_Y) prepared at different pH (Y). The carbon xerogels were utilized as active materials for coin-type organic supercapacitor electrodes to investigate the influence of pH on the electrochemical properties of the carbon xerogels. The carbon xerogels prepared at lower pH (CX_9.5 and CX_10) exhibited sufficient particle growth, with a three-dimensional network of particles during the RF gel formation, resulting in the development of abundant mesopores. Conversely, the carbon xerogels prepared at higher pH (CX_11 and CX_12) retained densely packed structures of small particles, leading to pore collapse and low specific surface areas. Consequently, CX_9.5 and CX_10 showed high specific surface areas, and provided ample adsorption sites for the formation of electric double layers with electrolyte ions. Moreover, the three-dimensional particle network in CX_9.5 and CX_10 significantly enhanced electrical conductivity. The presence of well-developed mesopores in these materials further facilitated the effective transport of electrolyte ions, contributing to their superior performance as organic supercapacitor electrodes. This study confirmed that pH-controlled carbon xerogels are one of the promising active materials for organic supercapacitor electrodes. Furthermore, we concluded that pH during RF gel formation is a crucial factor determining the electrode performance of the carbon xerogels, highlighting the need for precise pH control to obtain high-performance carbon xerogel electrodes.

The effect of Ba2+ ion dissolution with different pH and amount of PAA on microstructural changes of green and sintered bodies and its electrical properties was studied in aqueous nano-size BaTiO3 slurry system. The dissolution of Ba2+ was least at strong base, pH 10.8 and by addition of amount of 0.15 wt% PAA. The green body with the lowest of dissolution of Ba2+ at pH 10.8 and 0.15 wt% PAA had minimum values of average pore size, 40nm and shown high increase of sintered density. The compact sintered at 125$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr with highest Ba2+ dissolution had low density and dielectric constant due to abnormal grian growth. However, the sintered body with the lowest Ba2+ dissolution had high sintered density and then shown high dielectric constant.

It has been known that, in enzymatic synthesis of cephalexin, the conversion yield was reduced by high loading of ampicillin acylase. In order to elucidate this phenomena, pH-controlled synthesis of cephalexin was examined using a purified Acetobacter turbidans acylase. When the pH of the reaction mixture was maintained at $6.20{\pm}0.04$, the reduction of the maximal conversion rate was not observed even with high enzyme loading. The kinetic parameters also suggest that pH drop during the enzymatic synthesis of cephalexin was mainly attributed to the rapid hydrolysis of D-${\alpha}$-phenylglycine methyl ester to D-${\alpha}$-phenylglycine, rather than the disappearance of 7-amino-3-deacetoxycephalosporanic acid for cephalexin synthesis. At higher molar ratio of two substrates, [D-${\alpha}$-phenylglycine methyl ester]/[7-amino-3-deacetoxycephalosporanic acid], the conversion rate was also elevated under pH-controlled enzymatic synthesis, which implies that the main reason for the pH drop is due to the production of D-${\alpha}$-phenylglycine methyl easter, the effect of a water-methanol cosolvent system on the ester, the effect of a water-methanol cosolvent system on the conversion profile was also examined. Even the though the conversion rate was increased in 10% methanol solution, a higher than 16% methanol in the reaction mixture caused an inactivation of enzyme.

This research was intended as an investigation of applying Reduced Pressure Evaporation as efficient treatment method for landfill leachate. According to the variance of time, temperature, pressure and pH in experiments, the properties of leachate treatment are follows. The removal efficiencies of COD, NH$_{3}$-N, TOC, Conductivity and SS on the basis of reaction time was 96.4%-97.5%, -1.4%-53.7%, 81.7%-89.0%, 92.0%-95.3% and 99.86%-99.97%, respectively. When the pH of Influent was 7.5, the pH of effluent was increased to 10-11 with time elapse. It is concluded that the orgin of pH increase may be ammonia. When the properties of concentrate were investigated at the concentration ratio 90%(V/V), concentration difficiency represented in the ratio of experimental value/calculated value had following orders ; COD>TOC>NH$_{3}$-N>Conductivity>SS. Concentrate had good precipitation because of additive thermal treatment in the process. When evaporation experiments with pH adjustment of 4.0, 6.0, 7.5, 9.0 and 10.0 were performed ; Acidic evaporation experiments(pH 4.0, 6.0) showed low removal efficiency(81.6, 87.6%) of COD and high removal efficiency (97.5%. 84.6%) of NH$_{3}$-N at initial evaporation. Basic evaporation(pH 9.0, 10.0) showed high removal efficiency (97.2%, 98.9%) of COD and very low removal efficiency (-7.4%, -27.2%) of NH$_{3}$-N at initial evaporation.

본 논문에서는 고전압, 고전류 동작을 위한 전력 MOSFET 소자에 대한 전기적 특성을 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석하였다. 소자의 정적 특성을 향상시키기 위해 기존의 Si대신 4H-SiC를 이용했다. 4H-SiC는 넓은 에너지 밴드 갭에 의한 높은 한계전계를 갖기 때문에 고전압, 고전류 동작에서 Si보다 유리한 특성을 갖는다. 4H-SiC를 사용한 기존 VDMOSFET 구조는 p-base 영역 모서리에 전계가 집중되는 현상으로 인해 항복 전압이 제한된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 p-base 영역의 모서리에 곡률을 주어 전계의 집중을 완화시켜 항복 전압을 높이고, 정적 특성을 개선한 곡률 VDMOSFET 구조를 제안하였다. TCAD 시뮬레이션을 통해 기존 VDMOSFET과 곡률 VDMOSFET의 정적 특성을 비교, 분석 하였다. 곡률 VDMOSFET은 기존 구조에 비해 온저항의 증가 없이 68.6% 향상 된 항복 전압을 갖는다.

본 연구는 폐산화철을 이용한 폐수 중금속 제거 가능성을 알아보고자 시도되었다. 실제 폐수와 폐산화철을 적용하기에 앞서 상업적으로 구입가능한 Mn-ferrite를 이용하여 실내 회분식 시험을 통한 흡착실험을 실시하여 pH, 접촉시간, 중금속 농도 및 온도 등과 같은 다양한 흡착 조절인자들을 이용하여 페라이트에 의한 Cd과 Pb의 흡착 및 제거특성을 알아보았다. 접촉시간을 1에서 360분까지 변화하여 흡착속도를 측정하였으며 일정온도에서 Cd와 Pb의 농도를 변화시켜 흡착등온선을 구하였다. 또한 온도(15∼35$^{\circ}$)와 pH(4∼10) 변화에 따른 흡착특성 변화를 고찰하였다. Cd과 Pb는 Freundlich 식에 잘 맞았으며 Cd에 비하여 Pb가 더 흡착이 잘 되었다. pH가 높을수록 Cd와 Pb가 더 잘 흡착되었으며 이는 pH증가에 따라 수소이온 농도가 감소하고 결과적으로 표면의 흡착가용 장소가 증가하기 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 같은 pH에서 원소의 농도가 증가할 때 흡착이 더 잘 일어났다. 온도 역시 Pb와 Cd의 흡착능에 영향을 미쳤으며 Pb의 경우 온도가 증가할수록 흡착정도가 높아지는 반면 Cd의 경우 덜 흡착이 되었다. Cd는 Pb에 비하여 더 온도에 영향을 받으며 이러한 Cd와 Pb의 흡착특성 차이는 Cd에 비하여 Pb가 더 hard한 특성 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구는 폐산화철을 이용하여 각종 폐수 중금속을 제거하는 공정에 사용될 수 있음을 시사한다.

In this study, a fiber-optic pH sensor based on a pH sol-gel film is fabricated. The sol-gel film is made by co-polymerizing tetramethoxysilane, trimethoxymethylsilane, ethanol and distilled water. As a pH indicator, a neutral red is immobilized in a thin porous film formed by the sol-gel process. The pH change in a sensing probe gives rise to a change in the color of the pH sol-gel film, and the absorbance of reflected light through the pH sol-gel film is also changed. By using a spectrometer, therefore, the spectra of reflected lights in the sensing probe with different pH values are measured. Also, the relationships between the pH values and the absorbance are analyzed on the basis of the color variations of the pH sol-gel films. In repeated experiments, the fiber-optic pH sensor shows that it has reversibility, a high reproducibility and a wide absorbance change in a pH range from pH 5 to 9. Also, we confirmed that the fabricated pH sol-gel film exhibits a fast response time, little or no pH indicator leaching and a dynamic range of 2.04 dB from pH 5 to 9. Based on the results of this study, a fiber-optic pH sensor can be developed for the pH monitoring in the harsh environments.

Purpose: Oral glucose and pH are known as critical indicators for the growth of microorganism inside the oral cavity. This study was performed to identify oral glucose and pH variances in the early postnatal days of newborns. Methods: An explorative study which included 67 newborns was conducted to measure the oral glucose and pH during the first three days of life. Oral secretions were collected every 8 hours for three days or 6 to 9 times immediately after birth up to discharge. Oral glucose and pH variances during the three days were analyzed using the SPSS 22.0. Results: Oral glucose was $30.66{\pm}22.01mg/dl$ at birth then increased to $54.77{\pm}27.96mg/dl$ at the third day of life (F=8.04, p<.001) while oral pH decreased from $7.35{\pm}0.36$ to $5.53{\pm}0.39$ during the three days (F=113.35, p<.001). Oral glucose and pH were related to gestational age, regurgitation, and maternal diabetic mellitus. A negative correlation was found between oral glucose and pH (r=-.34, p<.001). Conclusion: Oral glucose and pH can be utilized for oral health assessment in newborns. Further study is needed to explore the factors which influence oral glucose and pH in high-risk newborns.

산업단지 조성 시 건설폐토석을 활용하기 위해 건설폐기물로부터 선별 처리된 토석에 대하여 물리 역학적 특성과 용출 특성을 분석하였다. 지반 내 알칼리 이온의 확산에 대한 실험은 XRF, ICP방법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 또한, 환경적인 영향을 확인하기 위하여 어류독성시험을 병행하였다. 건설폐토석은 실내실험에서 공학적인 성토기준과 토양오염 기준을 만족하였다. 그러나 건설폐토석과 물이 1:1의 비율로 혼합된 수용액은 알칼리 이온에 의해 높은 농도의 pH를 유지하는 것으로 나타났다. 수도이온농도가 9.0이상으로 상승하는 주요 원인은 CSH계 시멘트 성분에 의한 수산화칼슘용액인 것으로 추정된다. 건설폐토석 내 높은 pH 농도는 어류의 생태에 독성을 유발하게 된다. 조사자료를 바탕으로 Visual Modflow Ver. 2009를 이용하여 지반 내 pH 농도의 확산범위를 분석하였다. 건설폐토석 내 높은 pH 농도는 시멘트 성분으로 인해 장기간 동안 존재할 수 있으므로 성토 초기에 양질의 화강풍화토와 혼합하여 pH를 조절하는 것이 필요하다.
