이 연구에서는 2464개의 시멘트 콘크리트 배합과 776개의 혼화재가 치환된 혼합 시멘트 콘크리트 배합을 포함하는 실험 데이터베이스를 이용하여 콘크리트 압축강도 및 혼화재 치환율에 따른 콘크리트 $CO_2$ 배출량을 평가하였다. 국내 생애주기 데이터 목록에 기반한 콘크리트 $CO_2$ 평가에서 고려된 시스템은 요람에서 현장 콘크리트 타설 전까지로서 구성재료, 운반 및 생산단계를 포함하고 있다. 콘크리트의 성능 효율성 지표로서 결합재 지수와 $CO_2$ 지수가 분석되었으며, 콘크리트 $CO_2$ 배출량을 평가하기 위한 단순 식이 각 혼화재의 치환비 및 콘크리트 압축강도의 함수로서 제시되었다. 따라서 이 제안된 모델은 목표 압축강도 및 목표 시멘트 콘크리트 대비 $CO_2$ 배출 저감율을 만족하는 콘크리트 배합설계를 위하여 단위 결합재 양 및 혼화재 종류와 치환비를 결정하는 데 가이드 라인으로서 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: Dentin hypersensitivity is a potential threat to oral health. Laser irradiation may provide reliable and reproducible treatment but remains controversial. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of $CO_2$ or erbium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Er:YAG) laser therapy, and to assess mineral content. Methods: Eighteen human single-rooted teeth affected with advanced periodontitis were obtained. Buccal and lingual surfaces were planed to form 36 specimens. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid gel (24%) was applied to remove the smear layer and simulate hypersensitive teeth. The experimental groups were: group 1, control (no irradiation); group 2, $CO_2$ laser (repetitive pulsed mode, 2 W, $2.7J/cm^2$); and group 3, Er:YAG laser (slight contact mode, 40 mJ/pulse and 10 Hz). To evaluate dentinal tubule occlusion, six specimens per group (2-mm thickness) were prepared and observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for calculation of the occlusion percentage. To evaluate the mineral content, six specimens per group (0.6-mm thickness) were used, and then the levels of Ca, K, Mg, Na, and P were measured by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry. In addition, the surface temperature of the specimens during laser irradiation was analyzed by a thermograph. Results: The SEM photomicrographs indicated melted areas around exposed dentinal tubules and a significantly greater percentage of tubular occlusion in the $CO_2$ and Er:YAG laser groups than the control, and in the Er:YAG group than the $CO_2$ laser group. In addition, no significant differences were noted among the experimental groups for the mineral elements analyzed. The $CO_2$ laser group showed an evident thermal effect compared to the Er:YAG group. Conclusions: $CO_2$ and Er:YAG laser are effective in treating dentin hypersensitivity and reducing its symptoms. However, the Er:YAG laser has a more significant effect; thus, it may constitute a useful conditioning item. Furthermore, neither $CO_2$ nor Er:YAG lasers affected the compositional structure of the mineral content.

Currently, peroxide cure is a widely used cure system for rubber materials. To improve its effectivity, co-agents are used to enhance the peroxide efficiency and mechanical properties of rubber materials. Co-agents are multifunctional organic compounds that are highly reactive towards free radicals. These co-agents provide higher cross-link densities for a given peroxide concentration and improve the mechanical properties of peroxide-cured rubber composites. In this study, trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) and high vinyl 1,2-polybutadiene (HVPBD) were used as co-agents. In order to obtain a concentration that achieves a favorable balance between mechanical properties and co-agent concentration, this research investigated the effects of co-agent content on the curing characteristics, chemical structures, and mechanical properties of HNBR composites. Additionally, the heat aging properties and compression sets of HNBR composites were investigated. Based on the results, we found that the HNBR composites with TMPTMA co-agents exhibited higher Shore A hardness and 10% modulus and better heat aging resistance and compression set than that of the HVPBD co-agent. The heat aging resistance and compression set deteriorated with increasing HVPBD content.

본 연구에서는 zeolitic imidazolate framework-9 (ZIF-9)을 합성하고 poly(ether-b-amide)-1657 (Pebax-1657) 내에 함량을 달리하여 Pebax/ZIF-9 혼합막을 제조한 다음 단일기체 (N₂, CO₂)를 투과하여 혼합막에 대한 기체 투과 특성을 조사하였다. 순수 Pebax 막 내에 혼입되는 ZIF-9 함량이 증가함에 따라 N₂ 투과도는 점차 감소하고, CO₂ 투과도는 Pebax/ZIF-9 3 wt% 혼합막까지 증가하다가 그 이후의 함량에서는 감소하였다. 그리고 혼합막들 중 Pebax/ZIF-9 3 wt% 혼합막은 극성 기체인 CO₂에 대해 gate-opening 현상이 일어나면서 선택적으로 CO₂를 받아들여 가장 높은 선택도 69.3을 보였다. 또한 CO₂ 투과도와 CO₂/N₂ 선택도가 모두 증가하여 Robeson upper-bound에 가장 근접하는 결과를 얻었다.

We investigated the relationship between vegetation type and soil carbon dynamics in even-aged alder (Alnus hirsuta) and Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) plantations in central Korea. Both forests were located on the same soil parent material and occupied similar topographic positions. Soil $CO_2$ efflux in the two plantations was determined using a dynamic chamber method accompanied by measurements of soil moisture content and temperature. Mean soil temperature was similar in the two plantations, but mean soil water content was significantly higher in the alder plantation than in the pine plantation. In both plantations, seasonal patterns in soil $CO_2$ efflux exhibited pronounced variation that corresponded to soil temperature. Soil water content did not affect the seasonal variation in soil $CO_2$ efflux. However, in summer, when soil temperature was above $17^{\circ}C$, soil $CO_2$ efflux increased linearly with soil water content in the alder plantation. Estimated $Q_{10}$ was 3.3 for the alder plantation and 2.7 for the pine plantation. Mean soil respiration during the measurement period in the alder plantation was 0.43 g $CO_2\;m^{-2}\;h^{-1}$, which was 1.3 times higher than in the pine plantation (0.33 g $CO_2\;m^{-2}\;h^{-1}$). Higher soil $CO_2$ efflux in the alder plantation might be related to nitrogen availability, particularly the concentration of $NO_3{^-}$, which was measured using the ion-exchange resin bag method.

The effect of Ce promotion over 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts on the CO conversion and $CO_2$ selectivity was investigated in preferential CO oxidation (PrOx) to reduce the CO concentration less than 10 ppm in excess $H_2$ stream for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Ce-promoted 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method and the loading amount of Pt was fixed at 1wt%. The content of Ce promoter which has excellent oxygen storage and transfer capability due to the redox property was adjusted from 0 to 1.5wt%. Ce-promoted 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts exhibit high CO conversion and $CO_2$ selectivity at low temperatures below $150^{\circ}C$ due to the improvement of reducibility of surface PtOx species compared with the 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst without Ce addition. When Ce content was more than 1wt%, the catalytic activity was decreased at over $160^{\circ}C$ in PrOx because of competitive $H_2$ oxidation. As a result, 0.5wt% Ce is optimal content not only to achieve high catalytic activity and good stability at low temperatures below $150^{\circ}C$ in the presence of $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ but also to minimize the $H_2$ oxidation at high temperatures.

본 연구에서는 두 개의 기포유동층반응기로 구성된 연속공정에서 고체 흡수제의 입자분석을 이용하여 재생반응기 유동화 기체로 사용된 수분 주입량에 따른 H2O 전처리 효과에 대해 규명하였다. 또한 재생반응기의 고체 배출 구조를 underflow 형태에서 overflow 형태로 수정하여 $CO_2$ 회수효율을 비교 분석하였다. 재생반응기의 유동화 기체로 사용된 수분의 주입량에 따른 고체흡수제의 전처리 효과를 알아보기 위하여 각각의 조업변수에서 포집된 고체입자를 XRD(X-ray Diffraction), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), TGA 분석을 수행하였다. XRD 분석을 이용한 결과 재생반응기의 유동화 기체로 주입된 수분에 의해 $K_2CO_3{\cdot}1.5H_2O$의 입자구조가 형성됨을 확인하였으며 TGA 분석에서는 재생반응기로 주입된 수분량에 따라$K_2CO_3{\cdot}1.5H_2O$의 입자구조가 증가하는 경향성을 나타냈다. 재생반응기 내부에서 형성된 $K_2CO_3{\cdot}1.5H_2O$의 입자구조는 흡수반응 시 $CO_2$와의 반응성을 증가시켜 $CO_2$ 회수효율이 향상되는 전처리 효과를 나타내었다. 또한 재생반응기 고체 배출 구조를 underflow 형태에서 overflow 형태로 수정하여 $CO_2$ 회수효율을 비교 분석한 결과 약 3~8% 증가함을 확인하였다.

폐자원으로 분류되는 화력발전소의 석탄재와 제강슬래그(KR슬래그)를 주 재료로 활용하여 저강도 고유동채움재를 제조하였다. 산업부산물의 활용방안을 확대하고 중금속 용출 억제 등의 환경적 안정성을 확보하기 위해 화력발전소 바닥재(bottom ash)와 KR슬래그는 7:3으로 혼합하여 탄산화반응($CO_2$고정화)을 실시하였다. 연구결과 석탄바닥재의 기공이 많아 $CO_2$고정화 물질 함량이 증가할수록 물비율이 증가하였다. 배합 중 분체함량이 증가할수록 블리딩율이 저하되는 것을 확인하였다. 1종 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트(OPC)함량이 감소할수록 수화반응의 활성화가 저하되어 압축강도는 감소하였다. 하지만 배합 조성을 적절히 조절할 경우 저강도 고유동 채움재가 요구되는 2.0MPa의 압축강도는 충족시킬 수 있는 결과를 확보하였다.

Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA-28)/Co-Al LDH 나노복합막은 유기화된 LDH를 사용하여 용액 삽입법으로 제조하였다. LDH의 유기화는 충간에 dodecyl sulfate (DS) anion을 삽입시켜서 제조하였다. 제조된 막의 특성을 알아보기 위하여 XRD, FT-IR, SEM을 측정하였다. EVA/LDH 나노복합막의 기체투과도는 압력 3, 4, 5 bar에서 LDH 함량 1, 3, 5 wt% 변화에 따라 조사하였다. $O_2$와 $CO_2$의 투과도는 1 wt% LDH에서 최소값을 가지며 LDH 함량이 증가하면서 입자의 응집현상으로 인하여 투과도는 증가하였다. $O_2$ 대한 $CO_2$의 선택도는 LDH 함량 1 wt%에서 최대값을 나타내고 그 이상에서는 감소경향을 나타내었다.

Physical, chemical and microbiological changes were periodically studied during six-month storage of fresh ginseng under N2, CO2 gas or subatmospheric pressure condition. The results were summarized as follows. 1. The moisture contents of fresh ginseng gradually decreased during the first 2-month storage and thereafter generally reached at equillibrium. 2. There was no significant change in the reducing sugar content in 1-month storage, followed by$.$a decrease in between 2-and 3-month storage. Thereafter, the reducing sugar content increased at the end of 4-month storage. 3. The total sugar content increased significantly during the first 3-month storage. Under CO2 and Nr gas storage, the total sugar content gradually decreased after 3-month storage, while no significant change was observed in the samples stored under subatmospheric Pressure. Amylase activity gradually decreased as storage period increased 4. The content of saponin decreased as storage period increased, but ginsengoide Rf, Rd, Rc and Rb2 increased significantly in 1-month storage. 5. Regardless of storage methods, sprouting of ginseng and growth of microorganisms were inhibited in all samples during the first 4-month storage. However, growth of microorganisms was observed in the rhizome and injured areas of ginseng after 5-month storage in the N2 and CO2 gas atmosphere.
