Jeon, Min Ku,Kim, Sung-Wook,Choi, Eun-Young Korean Radioactive Waste Society 2020 방사성폐기물학회지 Vol.18 No.3

The corrosion behavior of Hastelloy C-276 was investigated to identify its applicability for carbon-anode-based oxide reduction (OR), in which Cl₂ and O₂ are simultaneously evolved at the anode. Under a 30 mL·min^-1 Cl₂ + 170 mL·min^-1 Ar flow, the corrosion rate was less than 1 g·m^-2·h^-1 up to 500℃, whereas the rate increased exponentially from 500 to 700℃. The effects of the Cl₂-O₂ composition on the corrosion rate at flow rates of 30 mL·min^-1 Cl₂, 20 mL·min^-1 Cl₂ + 10 mL·min^-1 O₂, and 10 mL·min^-1 Cl₂ + 20 mL·min^-1 O₂ with a constant 170 mL·min^-1 Ar flow rate at 600℃ was analyzed. Based on the data from an 8 h reaction, the fastest corrosion rate was observed for the 20 mL·min^-1 Cl₂ + 10 mL·min^-1 O₂ case, followed by 30 mL·min^-1 Cl₂ and 10 mL·min^-1 Cl₂ + 20 mL·min^-1 O₂. The effects of the chlorine flow rate on the corrosion rate were negligible within the 5-30 mL·min^-1 range. A surface morphology analysis revealed the formation of vertical scratches in specimens that reacted under the Cl₂-O₂ mixed gas condition.

Jeon, Min Ku,Kim, Sung-Wook,Lee, Sang-Kwon,Choi, Eun-Young Korean Radioactive Waste Society 2020 방사성폐기물학회지 Vol.18 No.3

The corrosion behavior of the Inconel X-750 alloy was investigated for its potential application under a Cl₂-O₂ mixed gas flow in an Ar atmosphere. The corrosion rate was found to be negligible at temperatures up to 400℃ under a flow rate of 30 mL·min^-1 Cl₂ + 170 mL·min^-1 Ar, whereas an exponential increase was observed in the corrosion rate at temperatures greater than 500℃. The suppression of the corrosion reaction due to the presence of O₂ was verified experimentally at flow rates of 30 mL·min^-1 Cl₂ (4.96 g·m^-2·h^-1), 20 mL·min^-1 Cl₂ + 10 mL·min^-1 O₂ (2.02 g·m^-2 ·h^-1), and 10 mL·min^-1 Cl₂ + 20 mL·min^-1 O₂ (1.34 g·m^-2·h^-1) under a constant Ar flow rate of 170 mL·min^-1 at 600℃ for 8 h. The surface morphology analysis results revealed that porous surfaces with tunnel-type holes were produced under the Cl₂-O₂ mixed-gas condition. Furthermore, the effects of the Cl₂ flow rate on the corrosion rate were investigated, indicating that its impact was negligible within the range of 5-30 mL·min^-1 Cl₂ at 600℃.

Jeon, Min Ku,Kim, Sung-Wook,Choi, Eun-Young Korean Radioactive Waste Society 2021 방사성폐기물학회지 Vol.19 No.2

The reaction between Li₂CO₃ and Cl₂ was investigated to verify its occurrence during a carbon-anode-based oxide reduction (OR) process. The reaction temperature was identified as a key factor that determines the reaction rate and maximum conversion ratio. It was found that the reaction should be conducted at or above 500℃ to convert more than 90% of the Li₂CO₃ to LiCl. Experiments conducted at various total flow rate (Q) / initial sample weight (W_i) ratios revealed that the reaction rate was controlled by the Cl₂ mass transfer under the experimental conditions adopted in this work. A linear increase in the progress of reaction with an increase in Cl₂ partial pressure (pCl₂) was observed in the pCl₂ region of 2.03-10.1 kPa for a constant Q of 100 mL·min^-1 and W_i of 1.00 g. The results of this study indicate that the reaction between Li₂CO₃ and Cl₂ is fast at 650℃ and the reaction is feasible during the OR process.

Min-Seok Oh,Sang-Guei Lee,Ju-Hyun Jeon,Hoi-Seon Lee 한국응용곤충학회 2010 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2010 No.10

To response evaluation of high power light emitting diodes (HPLEDs) as potential attractants to the Spodoptera exigua adults, we investigated the attractiveness of specific wavelength, illuminance intensity and light-exposure time, and compared them to the fluorescent. The all light treatments with the 40 lux intensity attracted the significantly highest number of S. exigua. The optimal light-exposure time exhibited the highest attraction rate at the 60 min. When the attraction and repellent rate in the optimal conditions to the S. exigua was surveyed, the white HPLED exhibited the highest attraction rate (91.1%), whereas the red HPLED exhibited the most repellent rate (33.3%). When evatuated of illuminance efficiency with fluorescent as control, white and red HPLED were found to be 9.14 and 10.34 times more efficient than fluorescent. These data clearly show that both the 40 lux intensity and the 60 min light-exposure time by using the white HPLED was the most suitable for attraction of the S. exigua.

  Today, harbor oscillation problems are the most significant factor to consider when designing harbors serving very large ships. In coastal harbors, large vessels moored in the elastic hawsers are often displaced due to the resonance between long period waves and mooring systems. As a result, cargo handling may be interrupted and the hawsers may be broken, especially when the amplification becomes extreme. The most significant harbor confronted with harbor oscillation problem in Korea is Pohang New port. Many cases of problems are being reported by the pilot association and the local office of MOMAF (Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries). However, it is difficult to prevent the arrival of long waves causing oscillation within this harbor. Moreover, the Korean government has already started a new port plan at the mouth of Yeongil Bay without addressing the problems that have occurred in Pohang New port. This study deals with the variation of harbor oscillation due to the construction of a 4.1 km breakwater at the bay mouth including the arrangement of the new berths. Numerical methods used are in fairly standard form from the extended mile slope equation. The obtained numerical results were compared with field measurement from the previous and this will bring a certain level of discussion and consideration of variation to the future port development.

Nutritional components of Ojuk leaf tea and Ojuk shoot tea prepared from the leaves and shoots of black bamboo (Phyllostachys nigra Munro) by tea manufacturing process were evaluated. In addition, the extraction yield of water soluble components from these teas in the general tea brewing condition (water extraction in 80oC for 10 min.) and the contents of polyphenol and flavonoid were compared with not only the dried raw materials, but also green tea and mate tea. Finally, offline and online scavenging activities against 2,2`-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline- 6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) and di(phenyl)-(2,4,6 trinitrophenyl)iminoazanium free radicals were investigated to evaluate the antioxidant activity and explore the components showing ABTS free radical scavenging activity from tea infusion. These results demonstrated that these teas from black bamboo contain various nutritional components and can be used as traditional tea beneficial to human health.

<P>Some of the important issues of block copolymer (BCP) as an application to the potential low cost next generation lithography are thermal stability and deformation during pattern transfer process in addition to defect density, line edge/width roughness, etc. In this study, sulfur containing plasma treatment was used to modify the BCP and the effects of the plasma on the properties of plasma treated BCP were investigated. The polystyrene hole pattern obtained from polystyrene polystyrene-block-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) was initially degraded when the polystyrene hole was annealed at 190 degrees C for 15 min. However, when the hole pattern was treated using sulfur containing plasmas using H2S or SF6 up to 2 min, possibly due to the sulfurization of the polystyrene hole surface, no change in the hole pattern was observed after the annealing even though there is a slight change in hole shapes during the plasma treatment. The optimized plasma treated polystyrene pattern showed the superior characteristics as the mask layer by showing better thermal stability, higher chemical inertness, and higher etch selectivity during plasma etching.</P>

<▼1><P>BP thinning was carried out using a monoenergetic Ar<SUP>+</SUP> ion beam and the BP could be thinned without damaging the surface.</P></▼1><▼2><P>Black phosphorus (BP) is one of the most interesting two-dimensional (2D) layered materials due to its unique properties, including a band gap energy change from 0.3 eV (bulk) to 2.0 eV (monolayer) depending on the number of BP layers, for application in nanoelectronic devices. In general, 2D layered materials including BP have limitations in terms of synthesis due to the process factors such as time, temperature, <I>etc.</I>, and thus, a thinning technique from the bulk material to a 2D material needs to be used while controlling the removed layer thickness. In this study, layer-controlled thinning of BP was performed by using a controlled Ar<SUP>+</SUP> ion beam method and the BP thinning characteristics were investigated. By using the near monoenergetic ion energy in the range of 45–48 eV, BP could be thinned with the thinning rate of ∼0.55 nm min<SUP>−1</SUP> down to bilayer BP without increasing the surface roughness and without changing the chemical binding states. The BP oxide on the pristine BP could also be successfully removed using the same Ar<SUP>+</SUP> ion beam. 2D BP field-effect transistors (FETs) fabricated with the thinned bilayer–10-layer BPs exhibited electrical characteristics similar to those of pristine BP FETs suggesting no electrical damage on the BP layers thinned by the controlled monoenergetic Ar<SUP>+</SUP> ion beam.</P></▼2>

병원 내 감염의 주된 원인균으로 알려진 황색포도상구균(5. aureus)과 항생제 내성 황색포도상구균(PRSA, MRSA)에 대해 항균활성이 우수한 천연 항균성 물질을 검색하기 위해 적송잎을 대상으로 열수-헥산(HWH), 열수-에탄올(HWE), 헥산, 에탄올 및 열수 등으로 획득된 추출물들로 항균활성을 조사하였다. 헥산, 에탄올, 열수-헥산, 열수-에탄올 추출물들은 그람양성 대표세균인 고초균(B. subfilis), 황색포도상구균 표준균주, 항생제 내성균주인 PRSA 및 MRSA에 대해서 항균활성을 나타내었으며, 특히 MRSA (ATCC 33591) 균주에 대해 다른 균주들 보다 높은 항균활성을 나타냈다. 열수 추출물은 황색포도상구균 표준균주 및 MRSA에서만 항균활성을 나타냈지만, 항균활성은 가장 높아 50 ㎎/㎖의 농도에서 33 ㎜의 생육저해환을 나타냈다. 각 균주들에 대한 생장의 최소저해 농도(MIC)는 HWH 및 HWE 추출물이 모두 0.05 ㎎/㎖의 농도로 가장 낮았고, 열수추출물이 0.5 ㎎/㎖의 농도였으며, 에탄올 추출물은 5 ㎎/㎖의 가장 높은 농도를 나타냈다. 모든 추출물들은 121℃에서 20분간의 열처리 후에도 항균활성이 유지되었으므로 열에 대해 안정한 물질임을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구결과로 식품산업에서 솔잎 추출물을 천연 항균제로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 기대할 수 있다. investigated antimicrobial activities of various pine (Pinus densiflora) needle extracts against antibiotic resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus. Hot water extract showed the highest antimicrobial activity against normal and methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), however, it exhibited no antimicrobial activity against penicillin resistant S. aureus (PRSA). Hot water-hexane (HWH), hot water-ethanol (HWE), hexane, and ethanol extracts showed antimicrobial activity against S. aureus, PRSA and MRSA. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of HWH, HWE, hexane, and ethanol extracts were 0.05, 0.05, 0.5 and 5 ㎎/㎖ respectively, and HWH and HWE extracts showed the strongest antimicrobial activity among these extracts. Antimicrobial activities of pine needle extracts were stable after heating at 121℃ for 20 min. These results suggested that pine needle extracts can be used as an effective natural antimicrobial agent for food and medical industries.

직접 가열식 열탈착 공정을 이용한 유류오염토양의 정화

민형식,양인호,정상조,김한승,Min, Hyeong-Sik,Yang, In-Ho,Jeon, Sang-Jo,Kim, Han-S. 한국지하수토양환경학회 2009 지하수토양환경 Vol.14 No.5

본 연구에서는 lab-scale의 열탈착 장치를 설계 및 제작하고 실제 유류오염 토양을 대상으로 다양한 운전조건에 따른 오염토양정화성능을 비교하였다. 대상 토양은 군부대로 사용되던 부지 내 유류저장소 부근 고농도 오염토로 선정하였고, 10 L 용적의 원통형 batch 형태의 직접 가열식 열탈착기를 사용하여 초기 TPH 농도 4476 ppm의 고농도 오염 토양시료를 다양한 운전조건에서 열탈착하여 처리효율 분석을 수행하였다. 열중량 분석을 통해 열탈착 실험에서 대상 오염물질을 제거하기 위한 토양 시료의 평균 가열온도는 $200-300^{\circ}C$가 적합한 것으로 확인하였다. Batch 형식의 운전을 통한 처리효율 분석 결과 토양 내 오염물질을 90% 이상 제거하기 위해서는 약 $200^{\circ}C$에서는 10분, 약 $300^{\circ}C$에서는 5분 이상의 처리 시간이 요구되었다. 함수율이 높고 덩어리진 토양일수록 처리효율, 특히 고분자 오염물질의 처리효율이 크게 감소함을 보였다. 따라서 풍건을 통하여 오염토양 내 수분을 저하시킨 후 분쇄 처리하여 열탈착기에 주입하는 것이 효과적이라 판단된다. 또한 처리 전 토양과 처리 후 토양의 물리화학적 특성 비교한 결과 고온에 의해 증발된 수분함량을 제외하고 나머지 특성들은 거의 변화가 없어 실제 복원현장에서 오염토양을 열탈착 공정을 이용하여 오염물질을 제거한 후 추가적인 후처리 과정 없이 처리토양을 원래 위치에 복원하는 것이 가능함을 확인하였다. 본 연구결과는 현장운전에서 오염물질의 제거 효율을 극대화하기위한 인자 결정 및 검증을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. A field soil highly contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons (JP-8 and diesel fuels) was employed for its remediation by a lab-scale thermal desorption process. The soil was collected in the vicinity of an underground storage tank in a closed military base and its contamination level was as high as 4,476 ppm as total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH). A lab scale directly-heated low temperature thermal desorption (LTTD) system of 10-L capacity was developed and operated for the thermal treatment of TPH contaminated soils in this study. The desired operation temperature was found to be approximately $200-300^{\circ}C$ from the thermal gravimetric analysis of the contaminated field soils. The removal efficiencies higher than 90% were achieved by the LTTD treatment at $200^{\circ}C$ for 10 min as well as at $300^{\circ}C$ for 5 min. As the water content in the soils increased and therefore they were likely to be present as lumps, the removal efficiency noticeably decreased, indicating that a pre-treatment such as field drying should be required. The analysis of physical and chemical properties of soils before and after the LTTD treatment demonstrated that no significant changes occurred during the thermal treatment, supporting no needs for additional post-treatments for the soils treated by LTTD. The results presented in this study are expected to provide useful information for the field application and verification of LTTD for the highly contaminated geo-environment.
