Hydrogen was produced by water plasma excited in very high frequency inductively coupled tube reactor. Mass spectrometry was used to monitor gas phase species at various process conditions. Water dissociation rate depend on the process parameters such as ICP power, flow-rate and pressure. Water dissociation percent in ICP reactor decrease with increase of chamber pressure and $H_2O$ flow rate, while increase with increase of ICP power. In our experimental range, maximum water dissociation rate was 65.5% at the process conditions of 265 mTorr, 68 sccm, and 400 Watt. The effect of $CH_4$ addition to a water plasma on the hydrogen production has been studied in a VHF ICP reactor. With the addition of $CH_4$ gas, $H_2$ production increases to 12% until the $CH_4$ flow rate increases up to 15 sccm. But, with the flow rate of $CH_4$ more than 20 sccm, chamber wall was deposited with carbon film because of deficiency of oxygen in gas phase, hydrogen production rate decreased. The main roles of $CH_4$ gas are to reacts with O forming CO, CHO and $CO_2$ and releasing additional $H_2$ and furthermore to prevent reverse reaction for forming $H_2O$ from $H_2$ and $O_2$. But, $CH_4$ addition has negative effects such as cost increase and $CO_x$ emission, therefore process optimization is required.

Hydrogen was produced from water plasma excited in high frequency (HF) inductively coupled tubular reactor. Mass spectrometry was used to monitor gas phase species at various process conditions, Water dissociation rate depend on the process parameters such as ICP power, $H_{2}O$ flow-rate and process pressure, Water dissociation percent in ICP reactor decrease with increase of chamber pressure, while increase with increase of ICP power and $H_{2}O$ flow rate. The effect of $CH_4$ gas addition to a water plasma on the hydrogen production has been studied in a HF ICP tubular reactor. The main roles of $CH_4$ additive gas in $H_{2}O$ plasma are to react with 0 radical for forming $CO_x$ and CHO and resulting additional $H_2$ production. Furthermore, $CH_4$ additives in $H_{2}O$ plasma is to suppress reverse-reaction by scavenging 0 radical. But, process optimization is needed because $CH_4$ addition has some negative effects such as cost increase and $CO_x$ emission.

Water dissociation on oxide surface has been researched in many fields because of its importance as fundamental phenomenas. MgO(001) is a good model system to understand heterogeneous catalysis, gas sensors, ground-water contaminants, and atmosphere chemistry. Over decades, ultrathin film of MgO on Ag(100) have attracted research activities thanks to its enhanced catalytic property. Correlation of the oxide and the metal, potential screening, charge fluctuation from interface reconstruction makes different energetics of hydroxylation of waters on film. We calculate the water-spliting energetics under the vacuum system.

Acid catalyzed hydrolysis of 1-phenoxyethyl propionate, Ⅰ, has been studied using the PM3 method in the gas phase. The first step of the reaction is the protonation of basic sites, three different oxygens in Ⅰ, producing three protonated species Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ. All possible reaction pathways have been studied from each protonated structure. Changes in the reaction mechanisms have also been discussed from the results obtained by varying a nucleophile from a water monomer to a water dimer to a complex between one water molecule and an intermediate product (propionic acid or phenol) produced in the preceding unimolecular dissociation processes. Minimum energy reaction pathway is 2-W among the possible pathways, in which water dimer acts as an active catalyst and therefore facilitates the formation of a six-membered cyclic transition state. Lower barrier of 2-W is ascribed to an efficient bifunctional catalytic effect of water molecules. PM3-SM3.1 single point calculations have been done at the gas-phase optimized structure (SM3.1/PM3//PM3) to compare theoretical results to those of experimental work.

Thermal and photochemistry of methyl iodide ($CH_3I)\;adsorbed\;on\;D_2O$ ice film on Cu(111) at 100 K were studied using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS), X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopies. On the basis of TPD, multilayer and monolayer $CH_3I$ molecules desorb from $D_2O$ ice layer at 120 and 130 K, respectively. Photo-irradiation at 100 K exhibits dramatic changes in the TPD and I $3d_{5/2}\;XPS\;of\;CH_3I$ on ice film, due to a dramatic dissociation of $CH_3I$. The dissociation is likely activated by solvated electrons transferred from the metal substrate during photo-irradiation. No other photo-initiated reaction products were found within our instrumental detection limit. During photo-irradiation, the $CH_3I$, $CH_3$ and I could be trapped (or solvated) in ice film by rearrangement (and self-diffusion) of water molecules. A newly appeared parent molecular desorption peak at 145 K is attributed to trapped $CH_3I$. In addition, the $CH_3$ and I may diffuse through ice and chemisorb on Cu(111), indicated by TPD and I $d_{5/2}$ XPS taken with photo-irradiation time, respectively. No molecular ejection was found during photo-irradiation at 100 K. The work functions for $CH_3I/Cu(111),\;D_2O/Cu(111)\;and\;CH_3I/D_2$O/Cu(111) were all measured to be about 3.9 eV, 1.0 eV downward shift from that of clean Cu(111).

Generation of hydrogen and oxygen gas from water is mostly accomplished by electrolysis. In this report, a scheme is presented regarding the gas generation based on plasmolysis. Unlike electrolysis water dissociation by electrical discharge (plasmolysis) requires a high voltage to cause either electron emission or electron capture, and subsequent ionization of involved molecular species. When electrical discharge is initiated between electrodes separated by water-vapor interface, a very large electric field(~100kV/cm) is developed at the tip of the electrode placed in the vapor phase. It is found that the efficiency of plasmolysis depends on the polarity of the electrode placed in the vapor phase. Also presented is the scheme of hydrogen and oxygen generation by such electrical discharge.

This study introduced waste water treatment method by superconducting HGMS(High Gradient Magnetic Separation). HGMS treatment method is high efficient method for various waste water, we have surveyed superconducting magnetic separation technology. We fabricated the prototypes of magnetic matrix filter consisting of stainless steel mesh, which is a core component in the magnetic separation system. In our basic preliminary experiment using HGMS, it was made clear that the fine para-magnetic particles in the wasted water obtained from steelmaking process of POSCO can be separated with high efficiency.

해저지반 내에 매장된 가스하이드레이트가 해리될 경우 많은 양의 가스와 물이 발생한다. 이렇게 발생한 가스와 물이 장기간에 걸쳐 외부로 빠져나가거나 주변 지반으로 이동할 경우 토체 안에는 크고 작은 공극이 형성될 수 있다. 그리고 지속적인 강우나 폭우로 인하여 지반 내의 조립질 흙 사이의 세립분이 유실되거나 고결성 지반 내의 일부 고결이 끊어지면서 골격 내에 빈 공간이 형성될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 가스하이드레이트의 해리로 형성되거나 또는 유수작용으로 인하여 지반 내의 일부 재료가 유실되거나 용해되어 형성된 비교적 큰 공극이 지반의 강도에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 가스하이드 레이트를 포함한 토체나 유실성 지반의 골격을 시뮬레이션하기 위하여 입도가 균등한 글라스비즈를 사용하였다. 글라스비즈를 2%의 시멘트비와 7%의 함수비로 혼합하여 몰드 안에 5층으로 나누어 다져 원기둥 모양의 공시체를 만들었다. 흙입자에 비하여 상대적으로 큰 공극은 의약품에 일반적으로 사용되는 빈 캡슐을 넣어 형성하였다. 캡슐을 각층 높이의 중앙부분에 넣고 다음 층을 쌓아 다지는 방식으로 완성하였으며, 캡슐의 개수와 방향, 그리고 캡슐의 길이를 달리하면서 다양한 공시체를 제작하여 2일 동안 양생시킨 다음 일축압축시험을 실시하였다. 공시체 내에 형성된 공극(캡슐)의 체적(개수)과 방향 그리고 공극의 길이에 따라 공시체의 일축압축강도는 차이를 보였으며, 공시체 내에서 공극이 차지하는 체적과 단면적이 강도에 중요한 영향을 미쳤다. 공시체 내에 형성된 큰 공극으로 일축압축강도는 공극이 없는 공시체 강도의 최대 35%까지 감소하였다. 이와 같은 연구 결과는 가스하이드레이트 해리 후 지반의 장기적인 강도 변화와 지반 내의 세립분의 유실로 인한 강도 감소를 예측하는데 사용될 수 있다.

Bipolar membranes have gained increasing interest as a tool for an efficient production of acids and bases from the corresponding salts. A large number of potential applications have been identified in the chemical and biochemical industry have been identified and evaluated on a laboratory scale. In spite of extensive research efforts and laboratory and pilot plat test, there are hardly any large-scale commercial plants. In this paper the basic concept of the electrodialytic water dissociation with bipolar membranes are briefly reviewed. The limitations of today\`s bipolar membranes are indicated. Selected examples of successful applications of the bipolar membrane technology are discussed.
