In recent years, NF (nanofiltration) membrane has been receiving great attention for hardness removal and has begun to replace traditional lime soda ash softening process, particularly in Florida, USA, mainly due to less sludge production and easy operation. This study aimed to provide detailed surface characteristics of various commercial NF membranes by performing sophisticated surface analysis, which would help more fundamentally understand the performance of NF membranes. More specifically, a total of 7 NF membranes from top NF/RO manufacturers in the world were examined for basic performance tests, surface analysis, and fouling potential assessment. The results demonstrated that NF membranes are classified into two groups in terms of surface zeta potential; they are highly negatively charged ones, and neutral and/or less negatively charged ones. Their hydrophobicities, measured by contact angle, varied from hydrophilic to slightly hydrophobic ones. The AFM measurements showed various surface roughness, ranging from 23 nm (smooth) to 162 nm (rough) of average peak height. Lab-scale fouling experiments were performed using feedwater obtained from conventional water treatment plants in the province of Korea, and their results attempted to correlate to surface characteristics of NF membranes. However, unlike typical RO membranes, no clear correlation was found in this study, indicating that fouling mechanisms of NF membrane may be different from those of typical RO membranes, and both cake deposition and pore blocking mechanisms should be considered simultaneously.

Corrosion inhibitors including calcium hydroxide have been used to prevent corrosion in the pipes for tap water supply. The corrosion index (i.e., Langelier Index) differs by area and water quality. The corrosion indices of the areas studied differed by more than 2.0. The 'homogenized' calcium hydroxide was added to the treated water at the K water treatment plant, in order to increase the value of the corrosion index and the concentration of calcium. As the result, the concentration of calcium was increased while the turbidity and pH changed little. The corrosion rate of the tap water with the 'homogenized' calcium hydroxide could be slowed down pretty much. The results suggested that the technology of 'homogenization' of calcium hydroxide can applied to tap water and desalinated water to prevent corrosion in water pipes even in corrosive pipes.

$SiO_2-TiO_2-AgO$ 코팅박막을 졸-겔법으로 현미경용 슬라이드 유리판과 씰리콘 기판에 제조하였다. 이 박막의 열처리온도는 $500^{\circ}C$가 적절하였으며 5회 반복코팅한 박막의 두께는 310nm였다. AgO가 10mol% 첨가된 박막의 표면은 균일한 구조를 보였으나 첨가량이 많아질수록 박막의 표면에 pin hole과 AgO의 석출에 기인한 cluster를 보였다. 열처리온도의 증가에 따라 IR흡수의 정도가 점차 감소하였고, AgO 첨가량의 증가에 따라 반사율은 점차 감소하였으며 색상은 light yellow에서 무채색 쪽으로 점차 전이하였다.

떫은감 껍질 추출물을 처리할 경우 응집 수축성이 강하여 물속의 이물질의 응집이 빠르게 진행되므로 첨가되는 추출물의 양이 증가할수록 육안으로도 원수의 탁도가 좋아지는 것이 관찰되었다. 소석회와 감껍질 추출물을 병행하여 처리할 때 얻어진 T-P, CODcr 제거율은 아파트생활하수와 기숙사하수 모두 100-200 mg/l의 첨가 농도에서는 $FeCl_3$와 $Al_2(SO_4)_3$에 비해 효과가 떨어졌으나 300 mg/l 이상의 첨가농도에서는 제거효과가 비슷하거나 오히려 더 높게 측정되어 응집보조제로서의 역할이 우수한 것으로 판단되었다. 추출물의 첨가량을 늘림에 따라 T-P 제거율도 상대적으로 계속 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 따라서 응집보조제의 사용이 원수에 대해 400-600 mg/l 정도로 낮아도 탁도의 개선 호과가 양호한 것으로 판단되어 소석회와 병행 사용한다면 처리수의 산성화가 적어 이를 중화시킬 알칼리보조제의 사용이 줄어들어 수 처리로 인한 경제적 부담을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

Six-valent chromium ($Cr^{6+}$) is a highly toxic pollutant, supplied in a variety of industrial activities such as leather tanning, cooling tower blowdown, and plating. Herein, we investigated the removal of $Cr^{6+}$ from aqueous phase using low-cost adsorbents. Steel slag, montmorillonite, illite, kaolinite, red mud, and acid treated red mud with 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 M HCl were used as adsorbent for the removal of $Cr^{6+}$ and the results showed that acid treated red mud with 2.0 M HCl (ATRM-2.0 M) had higher adsorption capacity of $Cr^{6+}$ than other adsorbents used. Accordingly, $Cr^{6+}$ removal by ATRM-2.0 M were studied in a batch system with respect to changes in initial concentration of $Cr^{6+}$, initial solution pH, adsorbent dose, adsorbent mixture, and seawater. Equilibrium sorption data were described well by Freundlich isotherm model. The influence of initial solution pH on $Cr^{6+}$ adsorption was insignificant. The use of the ATRM-2.0 M alone was more effective than mixing it with other adsorbents including red mud, zeolite, oyster shell, lime stone, and montmorillonite for the removal of $Cr^{6+}$. The $Cr^{6+}$ removal of the ATRM-2.0 M was slightly less in seawater than deionized water, resulting from the presence of anions in seawater competing for the favorable adsorption site on the surface of ATRM-2.0 M. It was concluded that the ATRM-2.0 M can be used as a potential adsorbent for the removal of $Cr^{6+}$ from the aqueous solutions.

$Cu_2ZnSn(S_xSe_{1-x})_4$ (CZTSSe) absorber thin films were prepared on Mo coated soda lime glass substrates by sulfo-selenization of sputtered stacked Zn-Sn-Cu precursor thin films. The Zn-Sn-Cu precursor thin films were sulfo-selenized inside a graphite box containing S and Se powder using rapid thermal processing furnace at $540^{\circ}C$ in Ar atmosphere with pre-treatment at $300^{\circ}C$. The effect of different S/Se ratio on the structural, compositional, morphological and electrical properties of the CZTSSe thin films were studied using XRD (X-ray diffraction), XRF (X-ray fluorescence analysis), FE-SEM (field-emission scanning electron microscopy), respectively. The XRD, FE-SEM, XRF results indicated that the properties of sulfo-selenized CZTSSe thin films were strongly related to the S/Se composition ratio. In particular, the CZTS thin film solar cells with S/(S+Se)=0.25 shows best conversion efficiency of 4.6% ($V_{oc}$ : 348 mV, $J_{sc}$ : $26.71mA/cm^2$, FF : 50%, and active area : $0.31cm^2$). Further detailed analysis and discussion for effect of S/Se composition ratio on the properties CZTSSe thin films will be discussed.

Objective : This study was performed to investigate the effects of OWT on allergic bronchial asthma. Methods : The mice were divided into 4 groups induced the allergic bronchial asthma : Three groups(OWT-1, OWT-2, OWT-3) treated OWT and non-treated group(Control). Three oral administration of the herbal solution of OWT were carried out 1 lime a day for 2 weeks before antigen sensitization. 2 days later, the mice were sensitized with a subcutaneous injection of ovalbumin(OA) and then 13 days later they were provoked with OA aerosols. Then the cell numbers in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF), serum level of IgE, WBC, RBC and HCB were measured. Results : 1. On the neutrophil in BALF, OWT-1 group is significantly increased compared with the control group. 2. On the eosinophil in BALF, OWT-1 group tends to decrease compared with the control group but insignificant. 3. On the lymphocyte in BALF, OWT-2 group is significantly decreased compared with the control group. 4. On the macrophage in BALF, OWT-2 group is significantly increased compared with the control group. 5. On the serum IgE, groups OWT-1, OWT-2 and OWT-3 are significantly decreased compared with the control group. 6. On WBC in blood, OWT-1 group is significantly decreased compared with the control group. Conclusions : Based on the above results, it is assumed that the oral administration of OWT can help the treatment of allergic bronchial asthma.

최근 우리 나라의 경우 산업 발달과 함께 급속히 증가하는 전력 수요에 따라 화력발전소에서 발생되는 산업 부산물인 석탄회 처리 문제가 심각하게 대두되고 있다. 따라서 산업 부산물을 재활용하는 차원에서 석탄회를 성토재로 활용하기 위한 공학적 성질 개선 방안으로 안정제 혼합 효과를 구명하기 위하여 삼천포, 서천 화력 발전소에서 부산되는 석탄회 시료에 대해 시멘트와 석회를 안정제로 사용하여 석탄회의 혼합률, 장기 재령, 양생 온도 변화에 따른 강도 특성을 살펴보았으며, 동결융해시험, 압밀시험 그리고 투수 시험에 따른 내구성 증대, 압축성 및 투수성 감소특성을 검토 하였다. 연구 결과 매립회(coal ash)는 각종 성토 재료로 사용이 가능한 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 비회 (fly ash)는 2~3% 정도의 시멘트를 첨가함으로써 양호한 성토재로 사용할 수 있는 것으로 나타났고 동결 융해가 우려되고 지역에 성토재로 석탄회를 활용할 경우는 안정제를 6-9% 정도 적절히 혼합하여 사용하는 것이 효율적임을 알 수 있었다.

The steel pipe manufacturing industry deals with facilities and materials. Especially thermal facilities are close to vapor cloud explosion (VCE) and may cause secondary damage to facilities because they deal with corrosive substances such as hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid and acid, fire, explosion, leakage etc. It is in danger. In this study, hazard identification method was conducted using HAZOP techniques and quantitative risk analysis was conducted using e-CA, a program that supports accident impact analysis. Equipment in the influence range of ERPG - 3 was determined to be a facility requiring replacement. It was decided that neutralization is necessary using slaked lime. Based on the cost of loss, We presented the proper replacement which is the timing of the dangerous facility. As a result, It was ideal to replace the facilities with 20 years of heat treatment facilities, one year of hydrofluoric acid storage tank, 20 years of sulfuric acid storage tank, and 5 years of hydrochloric acid storage tank.
