  • During survey of blood lead concentration of workers who worked in lead refining industry, we found that some foreign workers showed increased blood lead level compared with that of domestic workers. The mean concentration of lead in blood for foreign workers (15%, 13 workers, mean age: 29) was 55.8 ug/dL which was over biological exposure index, while that of Korean workers (85%, 76 workers, mean age: 42) was 28.9 ug/dL. Some other biological markers of lead exposure such as ZPP and ${\delta}-ALA$ also showed elevated levels. Most of foreign workers stayed in dormitories near or in the factories that may cause to let them under the condition of 24 hours exposure of lead. The lack of safety manual on proper prevention of lead exposure in their own language for effective communication may be one of reasons of elevated blood lead concentration of foreign workers.

  • 납은 현대산업에서 범용적으로 사용되는 비철금속이다. 전세계의 납 생산량은 1970년대의 약 500만 톤에서 점차 증가하여 2010년대에는 1,100만 톤까지 이르렀다. 특히 납은 품질의 저하없이 100 % 리사이클링할 수 있는 금속으로, 납 스크랩을 리사이클링하면 1차 지금 생산과 비교하여 에너지 및 환경부하를 현저하게 저감할 수 있다. 이러한 이유로 전세계 납 사용량의 약 60 %는 리사이클링으로부터 공급되고 있다. 주로 납축전지인 납 스크랩은 1차 제련소나 2차제련소에서 정련하고 있다. 대부분의 2차 제련은 용광로와 같은 샤프트로, 회전로, 그리고 반사로에서 이루어 지고 있다. 2차 제련에서 생산된 조연은 잉곳으로 주조하거나 케틀로에서 재용해하여 정제를 하지만, 용융상태의 조연에서 곧바로 정련을 하기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 납의 1차지금 생산 및 리사이클링 공정에 대해 고찰하였다.

  • A wastewater treatment plant, operating process is physico-chemical/biological activated sludge attached sand filtration, was selected to evaluate effluent quality and pollutants removal efficiencies consideration for deriving the technology-based effluent limitation for petroleum refining industry discharge. The results of influent and effluent analysis were as follows: Average effluent quality were 0.076mg/l of copper, 0.084mg/l of lead, 0.036mg/l of zinc, 0.005mg/l of nickel and 0.004mg/l of cadmium, and the range of coefficient of reliability from 0.007 of copper to 1.0 of lead. Also, 95% of reliability, 0.112, 0.15, 0.063, 0.015 and 0.009mg/l, respectively, were remarkably lower than their effluent limitations. And to reach 95% reliability of effluent limitation at cleanness area, designed effluent quality of copper, lead, zinc and cadmium should be 0.268, 0.099, 0.526 and 0.008mg/l, respectively.

  • This study examined research trends in AI ethics education and attempted to suggest a direction for AI ethics education. As a result of the research, two studies were conducted in 2017. There are no studies in 2018 and 2019, and there are 6 studies in 2020. Since then, research has continued to increase, with 19 studies in 2021 and 18 studies in 2022. There were a total of 37 lead authors of the study. There were six lead authors who had published papers for more than two years, and two lead authors who had published papers for more than three years. In addition, to examine the details of AI ethics education, a total of 265 keywords that went through a refining process were divided into education-related, ethics-related, AI-related, and other-related. Although the necessity and importance of research on AI ethics education is expected to increase, there are not many researchers who continuously conduct research on AI ethics education. Accordingly, there is a need to find ways to continue research on AI ethics education. AI ethics education is being conducted under various names such as moral education, ethics education, liberal arts education, and AI education. Accordingly, research on AI ethics education at various levels and forms should be conducted, not just educational research on artificial intelligence ethics in terms of regular subjects.

  • Tritium has been used to directly measure the exchangeable hydrogen in bleached softwood kraft pulp. The hydrogen atoms associated with hydroxyl groups in pulp or with water contained in the pulp can dissociate and exchange with the hydrogen atoms in bulk water. Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen and behaves almost identically to it. The distribution of tritium between pulp and water ($k_{pw}$) can be easily measured and becomes an index of the protons available fur hydrogen bonding. Bleached kraft pulp was refined in a PFI mill to a range of freenesses. Tritiated water was added and the amount exchanged measured. There was a slight steady increase in $k_{pw}$ until approximately 300 CSF; $k_{pw}$ then rose sharply between 300 CSF and 100 CSF. This rise appears to correlate with FSP. It is likely that the action of refining on the fiber reaches a threshold at about 300 CSF causing the fiber surface to break open creating exponentially more surface area. This theory is visually confirmed through light microscopy. The slow increase in fibrillation of the fibers above 300 CSF correlates with the increase in $k_{pw}$. Beyond the threshold of 300 CSF a dramatic difference in fibrillation is shown, also corresponding with the large increase in $k_{pw}$. The freeness difference around 300 CSF is small, but the change in fiber properties is extreme within this region. This change in properties could lead to sheet breaks and other disruptions when producing products around the threshold. This study leads to a better understanding of how fiber changes during refining, resulting in a practical benefit of target freeness determination. Presently, freeness is selected based on product quality and on some measure of runnability. Yet, there are other considerations, demonstrated by the extreme change in fiber properties around 300 CSF.

  • 본 연구에서는 휘발유, 경유, 항공유를 대상으로 벡터 오차수정모형을 이용하여 원유가와 각 지역 석유제품가격의 상호 인과관계 여부와 지역 간 제품가격의 선행-후행 관계를 확인하였다. 그리고 이를 글로벌 석유 시장의 수급과 교역 흐름, 경쟁 강도와 연결해 해석하였다. 주요 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 원유가는 각 지역 휘발유, 경유, 항공유와의 장기 관계에서 약외생성을 보인 반면, 단기 관계에서는 원유가 역시 제품가격에 영향을 받는다는 사실을 확인하였다. 둘째, 유럽 경유 및 항공유 시장과 같이 다른 지역으로부터의 수입에 크게 의존하는 경우, 다른 지역 석유제품과의 장기 관계에서 약외생성을 보인다. 셋째, 글로벌 시장에서 차지하는 수요 비중이 큰 지역일수록 시장에 미치는 영향력이 커지면서 다른 지역 제품가격과의 관계에서 약외생성을 나타낼 가능성이 크다. 그러나 경유, 항공유 시장에서와 같이 수요 비중이 높은 지역이라도 역내 산업집중도가 낮아 경쟁 강도가 세고, 과잉 생산 해소를 위해 다른 지역으로의 수출에 크게 의존할 경우 가격 선도력이 떨어지면서 약외생성이 사라진다. 지역 간 석유제품가격 관계에 대한 본 연구 결과는 석유정제 기업과 상품 트레이딩 기업의 글로벌 석유시장에 대한 이해도를 높여, 관심 대상 지역의 석유제품가격 변화 예측 및 지역별 자산 포트폴리오 구축에 중요한 정보를 제공할 것으로 기대한다.
