본 연구는 암모니아/물 혼합냉매를 이용한 압축/흡수식하이브리드 히트펌프 개발에 관한 연구이다. 히트펌프 사이클은 증기압축식과흡수식을 혼합한 개념으로 이단압축기, 흡수기, 재생기, 과열냉각기, 용액열교환기(SHX), 용액펌프, 정류기, 기액분리기 등으로 구성되어 있다. 압축/흡수식 히트펌프는 상변화 열교환과정에서 높은 온도구배를 이용하여 $90^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온을 제조하기 위한 목적으로 고안되었다. 특히 흡수기에서의 응축과정은 비열변화로 인하여 온도변화에 비선형성이 뚜렷한데, 시스템 성능 최적화를 위하여는 흡수기의 설계가 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 다수의 판형열교환기로 흡수기를 구성하였는데 열교환기의 용량, 형태, 배치에 따른 성능특성을 실험적으로 관찰하였다.

1-Nitropyrene (1-NP), 2-NP and 2-nitrofluoranthene (2-NFR) are useful markers for studying the atmospheric behaviors of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (NPAHs). However, present methods for measuring trace levels of these compounds are lesssensitive and laborious. Here we describe several improvements to a previously reported high-performance liquid chromatography-chemiluminescence detection system that allows it to determine trace levels of 1-, 2-NPs and 2-NFR. The proposed system was equipped with a reducer column packed with Pt/Rh instead of zinc whose life-time was limited. The combination of Cosmosil MS-II (monomeric ODS) and AR-II (polymeric ODS) columns was used instead of polymeric ODS columns as the separator column to improve the separation. An ethanol mixture with acetate buffer (pH 5.5) was used in place of an acetonitrile mixture with the same buffer to activate the reducer column. The same ethanol mixture was used as the mobile phase for the clean-up column. The switching time of the column switching valve was optimized to concentrate the amino-derivatives of above NPAHs quantitatively on the concentrator column. The concentrations of bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenly) oxalate and hydrogen peroxide in the chemiluminescence reagent solution were optimized to 0.4 mM and 30 mM, respectively, to increase the sensitivity. Under the above conditions, the detection limits (S/N=3) of 1-, 2-NPs and 2-NFR were 1 fmol (0.25 pg), 10 fmol (2.5 pg) and 4 fmol (1 pg), respectively. The proposed system was effectively used to determine trace levels of 1-, 2-NPs and 2-NFR in airborne particulates collected at Noto Peninsula. The atmospheric concentrations of 1-, 2-NPs and 2-NFR were not more than sub pg $m^{-3}$ levels. They were higher in winter (January) than in summer (July). In both seasons, the concentrations were in decreasing order, [2-NFR]>[1-NP]>[2-NP].

본 연구에서는 기존의 이차전지의 분리막보다 좋은 성능으로 각광받고 있는 PVdF (poly(vinylidene fluoride))에 공극률을 높여 전지의 성능을 향상시켜주는 수용성 고분자인 PEG (Poly(ethylene glycol))를 첨가하여 충전용 리튬 이차전지의 분리막을 상전이 방법으로 제조하였다. 용매인 DMF (N,N-dimethylformamide)에 PVdF-PEG를 단일상으로 녹인 후 깨끗한 유리판에 캐스팅하여 막을 얻었다. 기공은 증류수로 채워진 응고조에서 용매-빈용매 교환으로 형성되어진다. 주사전자현미경(scanning electron microscopy, SEM)을 이용하여 분리막의 단면 관찰을 통해 다공성을 확인하였고 UTM (universal testing machine)을 이용하여 기계적 물성을 확인하였다. PEG-10의 정체시간 30 s에서 균일한 스폰지 구조를 확인할 수 있었으며, 이는 87%의 뛰어난 공극률을 가지며 인장강도의 경우 PEG-10에서 3.72 MPa로 가장 크게 나타났고, 신장률과 모듈러스 부분에서도 역시 75.45%와 275.27 MPa로 뛰어난 성능을 나타냈다.

The research and development of hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and electric vehicle (EV) are intensified due to the energy crisis and environmental concerns. In order to meet the challenging requirements of powering HEV, PHEV and EV, the current lithium battery technology needs to be significantly improved in terms of the cost, safety, power and energy density, as well as the calendar and cycle life. One new technology being developed is the utilization of composite cathode by mixing two different types of insertion compounds [e.g., spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ and layered $LiMO_2$ (M=Ni, Co, and Mn)]. Recently, some studies on mixing two different types of cathode materials to make a composite cathode have been reported, which were aimed at reducing cost and improving self-discharge. Numata et al. reported that when stored in a sealed can together with electrolyte at $80^{\circ}C$ for 10 days, the concentrations of both HF and $Mn^{2+}$ were lower in the can containing $LiMn_2O_4$ blended with $LiNi_{0.8}Co_{0.2}O_2$ than that containing $LiMn_2O_4$ only. That reports clearly showed that this blending technique can prevent the decline in capacity caused by cycling or storage at elevated temperatures. However, not much work has been reported on the charge-discharge characteristics and related structural phase transitions for these composite cathodes. In this presentation, we will report our in situ x-ray diffraction studies on this mixed composite cathode material during charge-discharge cycling. The mixed cathodes were incorporated into in situ XRD cells with a Li foil anode, a Celgard separator, and a 1M $LiPF_6$ electrolyte in a 1 : 1 EC : DMC solvent (LP 30 from EM Industries, Inc.). For in situ XRD cell, Mylar windows were used as has been described in detail elsewhere. All of these in situ XRD spectra were collected on beam line X18A at National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) at Brookhaven National Laboratory using two different detectors. One is a conventional scintillation detector with data collection at 0.02 degree in two theta angle for each step. The other is a wide angle position sensitive detector (PSD). The wavelengths used were 1.1950 ${\AA}$ for the scintillation detector and 0.9999 A for the PSD. The newly installed PSD at beam line X18A of NSLS can collect XRD patterns as short as a few minutes covering $90^{\circ}$ of two theta angles simultaneously with good signal to noise ratio. It significantly reduced the data collection time for each scan, giving us a great advantage in studying the phase transition in real time. The two theta angles of all the XRD spectra presented in this paper have been recalculated and converted to corresponding angles for ${\lambda}=1.54\;{\AA}$, which is the wavelength of conventional x-ray tube source with Cu-$k{\alpha}$ radiation, for easy comparison with data in other literatures. The structural changes of the composite cathode made by mixing spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ and layered $Li-Ni_{1/3}Co_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}O_2$ in 1 : 1 wt% in both Li-half and Li-ion cells during charge/discharge are studied by in situ XRD. During the first charge up to ~5.2 V vs. $Li/Li^+$, the in situ XRD spectra for the composite cathode in the Li-half cell track the structural changes of each component. At the early stage of charge, the lithium extraction takes place in the $LiNi_{1/3}Co_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}O_2$ component only. When the cell voltage reaches at ~4.0 V vs. $Li/Li^+$, lithium extraction from the spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ component starts and becomes the major contributor for the cell capacity due to the higher rate capability of $LiMn_2O_4$. When the voltage passed 4.3 V, the major structural changes are from the $LiNi_{1/3}Co_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}O_2$ component, while the $LiMn_2O_4$ component is almost unchanged. In the Li-ion cell using a MCMB anode and a composite cathode cycled between 2.5 V and 4.2 V, the structural changes are dominated by the spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ component, with much less changes in the layered $LiNi_{1/3}Co_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}O_2$ component, comparing with the Li-half cell results. These results give us valuable information about the structural changes relating to the contributions of each individual component to the cell capacity at certain charge/discharge state, which are helpful in designing and optimizing the composite cathode using spinel- and layered-type materials for Li-ion battery research. More detailed discussion will be presented at the meeting.

다단수직형 적층 방식의 질산화조가 포함된 2㎥/d 병합폐수처리 파일럿플랜트를 설치하여, pH8 이상, DO 1mg/L, 내부반송율 4Q이상의 단축질소제거공정의 질산화조 운전 조건으로 약 1년 이상 운영하였다. 음폐수와 침출수의 경제적인 병합 처리를 위하여, 유분이 최소화된 음폐수를 전체 처리량의 5~25%로 조절하여 최적의 병합 비율을 검토하였다. 음폐수의 고형물과 유분을 효과적으로 분리하기 위하여 도입된 3상원심분리기의 주요 처리 효율은 SS는 116,000mg/L에서 55,700mg/L로 약 52% 제거 되었으며, 노르말헥산(N-H)의 농도는 53,200mg/L에서 27,800mg/L로 약 48%로 제거되었다. 운전 기간 중 병합 폐수처리 공정의 BOD 평균 제거 효율은 99.3%, CODcr 94.2%, CODmn 90%, SS 70.1%, T-N 85.8%, T-P 99.2%로 분석되었다. 처리수의 BOD, CODcr, T-N, T-P 평균 농도는 침출수 배출허용 기준("나"지역)을 만족하였으며, SS는 멤브레인조를 적용한 후 만족하였다. 현장의 침출수는 유량조정조의 간헐적 폭기 및 월별 상이한 방출량의 영향으로 병합폐수 중 아질산성 질소의 성분이 비교적 높았다. 아질산성질소가 축적된 상태에서도 완전질산화 후 탈질보다는, 아질산성 질소에서 탈질되는 결과가 나타났다. 또한 운전기간 중 평균 소포제 투입량은 약 2L/d으로 같은 폐수를 처리할 시 필요한 메탄올 투입량 약 2.8L/d 대비하여 경제적인 것으로 보인다.
