Between June and November 2002, the atmospheric concentrations and dry deposition fluxes of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Chonju were measured four times each over five days. The total concentration of PAHs in ambient air was $84\;ng/m^3$, with about 90% existing in the vapor phase. Plots of log ($K_p$) vs. log (${P_L}^0$) indicated that PAHs partitioning was not in equilibrium and the particulate characteristics did not change with seasonal variations. The PAHs fluxes to a water surface sampler (WSS) and a dry deposition plate (DDP) were about 14.15 and $1.92\;{\mu}g/m^2/d$, respectively. The flux of the gaseous phase, acquired by subtracting the DDP from the WSS results, was about $12.23\;{\mu}g/m^2/d$. A considerable correlation was shown between the atmospheric concentrations and deposition fluxes in the gaseous phase, but not in the particulate phase, as the fluxes of the particulate phase were dependent on the physical velocity differences of the particulates based on the particle diameter.

본 연구에서는 소형 동-소결윅 히트파이프를 대상으로 소결윅의 구조적 인자들이 히트파이프의 열수송 한계에 미치는 영향을 이론적으로 분석하였다. 소결윅의 입자 크기의 균일성과 소결 조건이 전체적인 기공분포와 기공률을 포함한 물리적 특성에 지배적인 요소로 작용했으며, 윅 두께 및 기공의 작은 편차가 히트파이프의 열수송 한계에 대체로 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 증기온도와 경사각에 따라서 윅 두께와 평균 입자 반경, 그리고 모세관반경의 미세한 변화가 히트파이프의 모세관한계를 현저하게 변화시켰다.

In an original effort, this lab attempted to employ polystyrene nanoparticles as a template for the synthesis of ordered and highly porous macroporous $SiO_2$ thin films, utilizing their high combustion temperature and narrow size distribution. However, polystyrene nanoparticle thin films were not obtained due to the low interaction between individual particles and between the particle and silicon substrate. However, polystyrene-polyacrylic acid (PS-AA) colloidal particles of a core-shell structure were synthesized by a one-pot miniemulsion polymerization approach, with hydrophilic polyacrylic acid tails on the particle surface that improved interaction between individual particles and between the particle and silicon substrate. The PS-AA thin films were spin-coated in the thickness ranges from monolayer to approximately $1.0\;{\mu}m$. Using the PS-AA thin films as sacrificial templates, macroporous $SiO_2$ thin films were successfully synthesized by vapor deposition or conventional solution sol-gel infiltration methods. Inspection with field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) showed that the macroporous $SiO_2$ thin films consist of interconnected air balls (~100 nm). Typical macroporous $SiO_2$ thin films showed ultralow refractive indices ranging from 1.098 to 1.138 at 633 nm, according to the infiltration conditions, which were confirmed by spectroscopy ellipsometry (SE) measurements. This research shows how the synthetic control of the macromolecule such as hydrophilic polystyrene nanopaticles and silicate sol precursors innovates the optical properties and processabilities for actual applications.

염화철(Ferrous Choloride) 증기의 고온 수소환원 반응을 통한 미립질 철분말의 생성속도에 대한 이론적인 해석돠 실험을 수행하였다. 철분말의 생성기구는 염화철이 증발하여 생성된 증기와 운반가스인 알곤을 혼합하여 반응부로 유입시키고 수소에 의한 고온환원반을을 통하여 철분말과 함께 부산물인 염화수소(HCI) 가스를 얻게 된다. 생성된 반응부 후미에 설치한 유기용매 포집기를 이용하여 회수하였으며, 염화수소는 가성소다 수용액에 흡수시키고 이를 적정함으로써 초기 반응물인 염화철의 전환율을 계산하였다. 반응속도식의 반응물에 대하여 1차반응(1st-order reaction)이고 염화철 증가와 운반체인 알곤가스가 평형상태일 때의 속도상수는 $k=7,879exp(-53,840/RT)\textrm{dm}^3/mole.sec$으로 표시되며, 이때의 활성화에너지는 53.84kJ/mole이었다. 철분말의 TEM 사진에 의하면 입도범위는 $0.1~1.0{\mu\textrm{m}}$이며, 반응온도 및 가스유량에는 크게 영향을 받지 않는것으로 나타났다.

$YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ 고온 초전도체 상을 MgO 단결정위에 증착시키기 위하여 액상의 에어로 졸 입자를 저온 플라즈마의 화학증기 증착로안에 유입하였다. 플라즈마의 분포를 조절하기 위한 반응로의 설계에 따라 초전도체상의 미세구조가 변화하는 양상을 관찰하였으며, 이때 증착 기판 위에서 관찰되는 입자들의 생성원인에 대하여 고찰하였다. 입자생성의 주된 원인으로는 불안정한 플라즈마의 분포와 출발원료의 낮은 기화속도에 기인하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 증착속도는 출발원료가 기화되는 곳으로부터 멀어질수록 급격히 감소하는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

We synthesized YOF(yttirum oxyfluoride) powders through solid state reactions using $Y_2O_3$ and $YF_3$ as raw materials. The synthesis of crystalline YOF was started at $300^{\circ}C$ and completed at $500^{\circ}C$. The atmosphere during synthesis had a negligible effect on the synthesis of the YOF powder under the investigated temperature range. The particle size distribution of the YOF was nearly identical to that of the mixed $Y_2O_3$ and $YF_3$ powders. When the synthesized YOF powders were used as a raw material for the suspension plasma spray(SPS) coating, the crystalline phases of the coated layer consisted of YOF and $Y_2O_3$, indicating that oxidation or evaporation of YOF powders occurred during the coating process. Based on thermogravimetric analysis, the crystalline formation appeared to be affected by the evaporation of fluoride because of the high vapor pressure of the YOF material.

Attrition characteristics of WGS catalysts for pre-combustion $ CO_2$ capture were investigated to check attrition loss of those catalysts, to check change of particle size distribution during attrition tests, and to determine solid circulation direction of WGS catalysts in a SEWGS system. The cumulative attrition losses of two catalysts increased with increasing time. However, attrition loss under humidified condition was lower than that under non-humidified condition case for long-term attrition tests. Between two catalysts, attrition loss of PC-29 catalyst was higher than that of commercial catalyst for long-term attrition tests. However, the commercial catalyst generated much more fines than PC-29 catalyst during attrition. Therefore, we conclude that the PC-29 catalyst is more suitable for fluidized bed operation if we take into account the separation efficiency of cyclone. Based on the results from the tests for the effect of humidity on the attrition loss, we selected solid circulation direction from SEWGS reactor to regeneration reactor because the SEWGS reactor contains more water vapor than regeneration reactor.

Atmospheric concentrations of polychlorinated dibezo-p-dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs) were investigated at urban-residential (Group I: Suwon, Guri and Goyang), industrial (Group II: Ansan, Siheung and Bucheon), urban-rural mixed (Group III: Yangju, Pocheon and Dongducheon) and rural regions (Group IV: Yangpyeong) in Gyeonggi-do from February 2012 to November 2012 quarterly. The concentrations of PCDD/Fs ranged from 0.018 to $0.109pgTEQm^{-3}$ in Group I (mean value: $0.061pgTEQm^{-3}$), 0.059 to $0.367pgTEQm^{-3}$ in Group II (mean value: $0.179pgTEQm^{-3}$), 0.072 to $0.836pgTEQm^{-3}$ in Group III (mean value: $0.334pgTEQm^{-3}$) and 0.014 to $0.066pgTEQm^{-3}$ in Group IV (mean value: $0.034pgTEQm^{-3}$), respectively. In spite of the less PCDD/F emission sources than Group II (industrial regions), the level of PCDD/Fs in urban-rural mixed area showed the highest values with high fluctuation. It's likely that the Group III was affected by fugitive emissions such like biomass burning and unregulated open burning. The mean contribution of particle phase to total PCDD/F concentration was above 83% because most of PCDD/F congeners were partitioned into particle phase. We evaluated their gas-to-particles equilibriums with the regression between the particle-gas partition coefficient, $K_P(m^3{\mu}g^{-1})$ and corresponding subcooled liquid vapor pressure ($P_L$). The logarithm-$K_P$ of PCDD/Fs was poorly correlated with $P_L$ at low ambient temperature (below $10^{\circ}C$) and the slope (m) values for log-log plots of the $K_P$ vs. $P_L$ was steeper in the Group 2 and Group 3 than residential area. It implies that the slope values were likely influenced by both the direct emission source of PCDD/Fs and ambient temperature.

The electrical resistivity of sinter dusts generated from the steel industry and coal fly ash from the coal power plant has been investigated using the high voltage conductivity cell based on JIS B 9915 as a function of temperature and water content. Dust characterization such as the chemical composition, size distribution, atomic concentration, and surface structure has been conducted. Major constituents of sinter dusts were Fe$_2$O$_3$(40∼74.5%), CaO (6.4∼8.2%), SiO$_2$(4.1∼6.0%), and unburned carbon (7.0∼14.7%), while the coal fly ash consisted of mainly SiO$_2$(51.4%), Al$_2$O$_3$(24.1%), and Fe$_2$O$_3$(10.5%). Size distributions of the sinter dusts were bi-modal in shape and the mass median diameters (MMD) were in the range of 24.7∼137㎛, whereas the coal fly ash also displayed bi-modal distribution and the MMD of the coal fly ash was 35.71㎛. Factors affecting resistivity of dusts were chemical composition, moisture content, particle size, gas temperature, and surface structure of dust. The resistivity of sinter dusts was so high as 10(sup)15 ohm$.$cm at 150$\^{C}$ that sinter dust would not precipitate well. The resistivity of the coal fly ash was measured 1012 ohm$.$cm at about 150$\^{C}$. Increased water contents of the ambient air lowered the dust resistivity because current conduction was more activated for absorption of water vapor on the surface layer of the dust.
