In this study, functional substances with antibacterial properties were extracted from the needles of Abies holophylla and Pinus koraiensis, and optimized using the central composite design-response surface methodology (CCD-RSM). The optimal extraction conditions for Abies holophylla were an extraction temperature of 59.5 ℃ and an ethanol/ultrapure water volume ratio of 69.5 vol.%, resulting in an extraction yield of 13.5% and inhibition diameters of 11.6 mm against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and 9.3 mm against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). For Pinus koraiensis, the optimal extraction conditions were an extraction temperature of 59.2 ℃ and an ethanol/ultrapure water volume ratio of 67.8 vol.%, resulting in an extraction yield of 4.8% and inhibition diameters of 7.9 mm against E. coli and 12.5 mm against S. aureus. The actual experimental results under these optimal conditions showed that an extraction yield from Abies holophylla needles was 13.0% and an inhibition diameter of 11.7 mm against E. coli and 9.2 mm against S. aureus, indicating an error rate of approximately ± 2.3%. For Pinus koraiensis needles, the extraction yield was 5.1%, with inhibition diameters of 7.5 mm against E. coli and 12.3 mm against S. aureus, indicating an error rate of ± 4.23%.

The characteristics of atmospheric aerosols were investigated as a function of particle size and water solubility. The atmospheric aerosols were sampled with classifying into 12 size ranges by the use of Andersen low-pressure impactor. Collected aerosol particles were extracted by ultrapure water and filtered to be separated into water-soluble and insoluble components. The concentrations 12 elements in both components were determined by PIXE analysis. And the concentrations of 8 ions in the soluble component were analyzed by ion chromatography. In general, the mass size distribution of particulate matter was represented as a bimodal distribution. The mass size distributions of S$(SO_4^{2-}), K(K^+), Zn and NH_4^+$ skewed to the smaller size range and those of Si, Ca$(Ca^{2+}), Fe, Na^+ and Mg^{2+}$ skewed to the larger size range. They had roughly one peak in the fine and coarse particle region,respectively. On the other hand, the mass size distribution of Ti, Mn, Ni, Cu, $Cl^- and NO_3^-$ were represented as the bimodal distribution. Fe and Si in the aerosol particles extracted into pure water are existing in high insoluble state. Conversely, almost the whole of S is dissolved in water.

CEDI system is generally explained with two regimes, ionic removal and electroregeneration. The performance optimization and modification of stack configuration is required for the effective utilization and various applications of a CEDI system. Understanding on various system characterization method and ion transport equation is thus necessary to utilize the CEDI system more effectively. This article provides a general review of continuous electrodeionization, including the basic principles and current stage of technologies of a CEDI system.

반도체 소자 제조 공정이 고 집적화 됨에 따라 습식 세정방법에 의한 세정공정의 중요성이 더욱 증가 되어지고 있으며, 특히 그 중에서 전체 세정공정의 약 절반을 차지하고 있는 Deionised water에 의한 rinsing 공정의 경우 ultrapure water의 quality가 최근 지속적으로 향상이 되어짐에 따라 많은 발전을 자져 왔다. 일반적으로 Deionised water에 함유하고 있는 TOC(total oxidisable components), bacteria, metallic impurity, desolved oxygen cencentration, colloidal material impurity (예를 들면 Silica, oraganic substrate)등은 ultra pure water의 quality를 결정하는데 매우 중요한 factor로 작용하고 있으며, 이러한 불순물들이 반도체 제조공정중 wafer surface에 흡착되어 졌을때 여러형태의 defect들을 유발한다고 알려져 있다. 그러나 pseudommonas, flavobacterlum, alcaligene등의 기 얄려진 bacteria들의 경우 Deionised water를 supply해주는 배관의 Inner surface에 잘 흡착 되지만 고온의 water 혹은 과산화수소수($H_{2}O_{2}$) 를 이용하여 주기적으로 처리 해줌으로 인하여 이에 대한 문제점을 어느정도 최소화 시킬수 있다. 위의 두가지 방법중 전자의 경우 chemical을 사용하지 않고, 유지 및 관리가 간편하며, 용존산소량을 줄일수 있다는 점에서 장점이 있으나, 전 ultra pure water의 system이 열적으로 안정해야 하고 경제적인 문제가 수반하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 후자의 경우, 미량의 과산화수소수 (1~10,000 ppm)를 이용해 처리 해주는 방법의 경우 경제적으로 큰 장점이 있고, 처리가 단순하다는 장점이 있으나 과산화수소수 자체에 포함하고 있는 높은 impurit level, 그리고 처리후 장시간의 flushing time을 가져야 한다는 단점등이 존재 하고 있다.

Fouling is one of the critical factors associated with the application of membrane technology in treating palm oil mill effluent (POME), due to the presence of high concentration of solid organic matter, oil, and grease. In order to overcome this, chemical cleaning is needed to enhance the effectiveness of membranes for filtration. The potential use of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), sodium chloride (NaCl), hydrochloric acid (HCl), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and ultrapure water (UPW) as cleaning agents have been investigated in this study. It was found that sodium hydroxide is the most powerful cleaning agent, the optimum conditions that apply are as follows: 3% for the concentration of NaOH, $45^{\circ}C$ for temperature solution, 5 bar operating pressure, and solution pH 11.64. Overall, flux recovery reached 99.5%. SEM images demonstrated that the membrane surface after cleaning demonstrated similar performance to fresh membranes. This is indicative of the fact that NaOH solution is capable of removing almost all of the foulants from PES membranes.

The electrostatic phenomenon seriously issued in extreme ultraviolet semiconductor cleaning was studied in junction with molecular dynamic aspect. It was understood that two lone pairs of electrons in water molecule were subtly different each other in molecular orbital symmetry, existed as two states of large energy difference, and became basis for water clustering through hydron bonds. It was deduced that when hydrogen bond formed by lone pair of higher energy state was broken, two types of [H₂O]⁺ and [H₂O]^- ions would be instantaneously generated, or that lone pair of higher energy state experiencing reactions such as friction with Teflon surface could cause electrostatic generation. It was specifically observed that, in case of electrolyzed cathode water, negative electrostatic charges by electrons were overlapped with negative oxidation reduction potentials without mutual reaction. Therefore, it seemed that negative electrostatic development could be minimized in cathode water by mutual repulsion of electrons and [OH]^- ions, which would be providing excellences on extreme ultraviolet cleaning and electrostatic control as well.

The purpose of this study is to develop a badge-type passive sampler for the measurement of short-term nitrogen dioxide and to evaluate its performance. The principle of the method is a colorimetric reaction of nitrogen dioxide with sulfanilic acid, N-1-naphthylethylendiamine, and phosphoric acid. First, it has been shown that the filter paper should be rinsed with ultrapure water and ultrasound, and then dried in a vacuumed desiccator. The concentration and volume of absorption reagent (triethanolamine) were $20\%$ and 100 ${\mu}L$, respectively. The extraction time was determined as 60 min. Second, duplicate measurements (n= 116) were carried out for evaluating the precision of the passive sampler. The relative error and the correlation coefficient between duplicates are $3.4\pm 3.0\%$ and 0.994, respectively. In addition, the $95\%$ confidence interval of intraclass correlation coefficient and the estimated value are 0.992$\sim$0.996 and 0.994, respectively. Third, a paired t-test was carried out for evaluating the accuracy of the passive sampler (n=40). In the result of the test, the $95\%$ confidence interval of the difference was -1.710 ppb <$\gamma$< 0.788 ppb. Finally, the average concentration of blanks, measurement detection limit, limit of detection, and limit of quantification are $2.4\pm 0.4$ ppb, 104 ppb, 3.8 ppb, and 7.0 ppb, respectively.

In this work, the adsorptive and desorptive behavior of reduced sulfur compounds (RSC) was investigated using the combination of the Peltier cooling (PC)/thermal desorption (TD) unit with the gas chromatographic (GC) detection technique. To examine the adsorptive characteristics of RSC on clothing materials, a total of nine experiments were conducted in a stepwise manner. Once small towel pieces are exposed to significant quantities of RSC standards with high concentrations (10 ppm), the desoprtion stage was then induced by deloading RSC with ultrapure $N_2$ at three different flow rates (FR) of 20, 40, and 60 mL/min. At each FR, the total deloading volume of 400, 800, and 1,600 mL were maintained. These results were then compared in terms of odoring efficiency by dividing the total amount of desorption with the total amount used for exposition or RSC loading. The results indicated that desorption reaction of certain compounds ($CH_3SH$ and DMS) can be influenced significantly with the reducing FR, while they are not affected directly by the total deloading volume. In addition, when the extent of adsorption was compared for most S compounds by the odoring efficiency term, the extent of absorption generally occurred at approximately 1/1000 level of original exposition.
