The discharge of oily wastewater into water bodies and soil poses a serious hazard to the environment and public health. Various conventional techniques have been employed to treat oil-water mixtures and emulsions; Unfortunately, these approaches are frequently expensive, time-consuming, and unsatisfactory outcomes. Porous materials and adsorbents are commonly used for purification, but their use is limited by low separation efficiencies and the risk of secondary contamination. Recent advancements in nanotechnology have driven the development of innovative materials and technologies for oil-contaminated wastewater treatment. Nanomaterials can offer enhanced oil-water separation properties due to their high surface area and tunable surface chemistry. The fabrication of nanofiber membranes with precise pore sizes and surface properties can further improve separation efficiency. Notably, novel technologies have emerged utilizing nanomaterials with special surface wetting properties, such as superhydrophobicity, to selectively separate oil from oil-water mixtures or emulsions. These special wetting surfaces are promising for high-efficiency oil separation in emulsions and allow the use of materials with relatively large pores, enhancing throughput and separation efficiency. In this study, we introduce a facile and scalable method for fabrication of superhydrophobic-superoleophilic felt fabrics for oil/water mixture and emulsion separation. AlN nanopowders are hydrolyzed to create the desired microstructures, which firmly adhere to the fabric surface without the need for a binder resin, enabling specialized wetting properties. This approach is applicable regardless of the material's size and shape, enabling efficient separation of oil and water from oil-water mixtures and emulsions. The oil-water separation materials proposed in this study exhibit low cost, high scalability, and efficiency, demonstrating their potential for broad industrial applications.

UV-curable resin has the properties of quick-drying, high productivity at low temperature, energy, space saving, solventless, non-polluting and low-stinking, and thus, UV-curing system has been widely used in the fields of printing inks, adhesives, paints and coating agents. This study has been executed to develop a new functionnal material by the polymerization induced phase separation. The results obtained were as follows. As for the curing properties of the monomer/prepolymer/alkyd resin blends, it was found out that there was a peak by the polymerization induced phase separation when measuring the changes of viscosity and elasticity. It was also found out that such polymerization phase separation occurred in case that the alkyd resin contents were 20wt% and 30wt% and not found at the contents of 40wt%. Therefore, it would be desirable to maintain the contents of alkyd resin at less than 30wt% in order to use the polymerization induced phase separation.

The magnetic separation of Nd-Fe-B powders prepared by melt-spun and HDDR processes was investigated. The experiments show that the ununiform melt-spun powders can be separated into various standards by means of magnetic separation method. The magnetic powders with higher properties were obtained by the use of suitable separating field. For example, the properties of ununiform melt-spun powders are Br=7.95 kG, iHc=9.93 kOe and (BH)max=10.2 MGOe before separating. Through separating in different magnetic fields, the powders obtained with a separating field of 780 Oe has the optimum properties of Br=7.7 kG, iHc=11.0 kOe and (BH)max=15.3 MGOe. The magnetic properties of the HDDR magnetic powder are hardly separated by the magnetic separation method.

막 분리공정은 기존의 분리공정이 달성하기 쉽지 않은 많은 공정들을 대체할 수 있기 때문에 관련 학계나 산업체에서 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 특히, 고분자막을 이용한 기체분리공정은 해마다 가파른 성장세를 보이는데 이는 주로 기존의 기체분리공정에 비해 설치가 용이하고 분리공정에 필요한 에너지를 절약할 수 있기 때문이다. 고분자막을 이용한 기체분리의 가장 중요한 요소는 물론 뛰어난 선택적 투과성을 가지는 소재의 개발에 있다. 현재 상업적으로 쓰이고 있는 대부분의 기체분리용 고분자막을 폴리술폰, 폴리카보네이트 및 폴리이미드와 같은 탄화수소계열의 고분자소재이며, 이들은 수소분리, 산소부화, 천연가스에서 이산화탄소분리 등 다양한 용도로 사용되고 있다. 이와는 상대적으로 불소고분자막들에 대한 기체분리특성은 탄화수소계열의 고분자막에 비교하여 그다지 많이 알려지지는 않았다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 무정형 불소고분자로부터 제조된 고분자막에 대한 기체 및 증기분리특성에 대해 자세하게 살펴보고자 한다. 이러한 불소고분자들은 종종 기존의 탄화수소계열의 고분자막과는 상이한 기체 투과 및 분리특성을 보이며, 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 기체분리거동을 활용한 적용방안에 대해서도 알아보고자 한다.

Thanks to high cadence monitoring and high photometric accuracy of Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet), we expect the detection of many events caused by wide-separation planets and free-floating planets, which is not easy due to the short event duration. Thus, it is important to understand wide-separation planetary lensing events. Several studies on the wide-separation events have been reported, but events caused by wide-separation planetary systems with a moon have not yet been studied. In this paper, we study the properties of events caused by planetary systems where wide-separation planets host a moon. We also study the effect of a finite background source star on the moon feature in the wide planetary-lensing events.

The main objective was to evaluate the efficiencies of different separation techniques, such as gravity separation, magnetic separation, and aerial separation. Zinc and cadmium removal efficiencies by gravity separation and magnetic separation were 28.3~29.3% and 19.1%, respectively, and were higher than the efficiency obtained by aerial separation. Results showed that the combination of gravity separation and magnetic separation in series which was to maximize the removal efficiencies gave removal efficiency of 21.5~38.7% for zinc and 22.1~23.4% for cadmium. The mass of soil meeting the regulation standards for zinc and cadmium after retrieval from the combined separation process accounted for approximately 80% of the treated soil that would be reusable without the pre-treatment procedure as the neutralization process using in the soil washing method. Physical separation techniques utilizing heavy metal properties are the alternative method to remediate heavy-metal contaminated soils in environmental and economic aspects.

6FDA-based polyimides were prepared from the thermal imidization reaction of 6FDA with diamines of BAPAF, DAP, and DABA having a polar group of hydroxyL or carboxyl. Properties of the dense polyimide membranes were characterized and their gas permeation properties for H$_2$, $CO_2$, $O_2$, $N_2$, and CH$_4$ were investigated. Permeabilities, diffusion coefficients and diffusivity selectivities of polar group-containing polyimide membranes including 6FDA-BAPAF, 6FDA-DAP, and 6FDA-DABA polymer for the gases did not change largely. The separation properties of 6FDA-TrMPD polyimide membrane used as a reference polymer were compared with those of the polyimide membranes mentioned above. It was found that the polyimides of 6FDA-BAPAF, 6FDA-DAP, and 6FDA-DABA, which were soluble in alcohol or/and 2-methoxyethanol, could be applicable to the preparation of a dense composite membrane by dip-coating method.

Facilitated transport membranes for the separation of olefin/paraffin mixtures have long been of interest in separation membrane science because olefins, such as propylene and ethylene, which are important chemicals in petrochemical industries, are currently separated by energy-intensive cryogenic distillation processes. Recently, solid polymer electrolyte membranes containing silver ions have demonstrated remarkable performance in the separation of olefin/paraffin mixtures in the solid state and, thus, they can be considered as alternatives to cryogenic distillation. Here, we review recent progress, and critical issues affecting in the use of facilitated olefin transport membranes; in particular, we provide a general overview with reference to carrier properties, transport mechanisms, and separation performance.

In this work, a dielectrophoresis-based particle-separation device is developed which is to be used to continuously separate particles in microchannels. We fabricated the particle-separation device with combining the benefits of electrode-based DEP and insulator-based DEP. The DEP forces are generated by an array of electrodes located in both sidewalls of a main channel. According to the magnitude and frequency of electrical signals, particles with different dielectric properties experience different DEP forces, and therefore, continuously move along different streamlines in the main flow channel without need of pre-focusing process. Based on this mechanism, we examined the performance of the device by controlling the trajectory of polystyrene particles. This device is applicable to the investigation of dielectric properties of biological cells as well as the continuous separation of biological cells.
