배수공의 막힘 현상은 노후화된 터널의 가장 큰 문제점으로 보수 대책 공법이 시급한 실정이다. 현재는 Water Jet Cleaning과 배수공내 초고압수를 분사하는 방식 등으로 배수공내 생성된 스케일을 제거하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 공법은 비용이 비싸고 주기적으로 관리가 필요하다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하고 영구적으로 배수공내 침전물 생성을 방지하기 위하여 자화장치와 퀀텀스틱 신기술을 적용하여 배수공내 스케일의 주성분인 탄산칼슘($CaCO_{3}$) 침전물을 SEM분석과 XRD분석을 통하여 관찰하였다. SEM분석과 XRD분석 결과, 자화장치를 적용하였을 경우 탄산칼슘($CaCO_{3}$)의 생성입자가 Calcite에서 Aragonite로 변화하는 것을 볼 수 있었으며, 퀀텀스틱의 경우에도 육안으로 관찰하였을 경우 스케일의 생성량이 확연히 줄어들었음을 볼 수 있었다. 전반적으로, 자화장치와 퀀텀스틱을 이용하여 배수공 내 침전물 생성을 방지하는데 효과가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

역삼투막 공정의 무기질 스케일은 주로 산을 주입하거나 혹은 스케일억제제를 사용하여 제어하고 있다. 특히 최근에는 여러 가지 고분자 형태의 스케일 억제제가 개발되어 사용되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 다른 성상의 스케일 억제제 세 개를 선택하여 $CaCO_3$ 무기질 오염에 대한 제어효과를 분석하였다. 농축계수가 1.43, 2.5 및 5일 때 Spectra Guard를 사용하여 회수율, 즉 농축계수에 따른 제어능을 비교하였고 농축계수가 2.5일 때 SHMP, Spectra Guard, Flocon 150 N을 사용하여 억제제별 제어능을 분석하였다. 그 결과 농축계수별 제어능 실험은 농축계수가 증가할수록 더 많은 양의 스케일 억제제를 필요로 하였으며, 필요량은 농축계수 5의 범위까지 거의 선형적인 관계를 나타내었다. 또한 임계값보다 적은 양의 스케일 억제제를 주입했을 경우 일정한 시간 경과 후에 스케일이 형성 되는 경향을 보였다. 실험한 세 종류의 스케일 억제제는 모두 스케일 억제 효과를 보였으나, 억제제별로 스케일 제어에 필요한 시간과 적정 주입량 등에 차이를 보였다. Spectra Guard는 주입농도가 0.6 mg/L 이상이면 바로 스케일 제어효과를 나타내었다. SHMP은 적정 농도는 0.4 mg/L로 작았으나 스케일 제어효과가 나타내는 데까지 약 30시간 이상이 걸렸다. Flocon 150 N은 3 mg/L 이상의 주입농도와 30시간 이상의 운전시간이 필요하였다. 이러한 적정 농도 및 제어 반응시간의 차이는 억제제 성분에 따른 억제 기작의 차이로 보이며, $CaCO_3$ 스케일 억제제로 polyacrylate 계의 Spectra Guard가 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, an investigation was conducted to assess the washout mechanism of Asian dust particles through both laboratory-scale experiment and model calculation. To artificially simulate Asian dust particle, $CaCO_3$ particles were generated inside an experimental chamber. They were then scavenged by the artificial rain drops. The abundant $CaCO_3$ particles scavenged on a rain drop were successively identified by SEM observation. The concentrations of Ca in residual $CaCO_3$ particles on individual droplet were quantified by PIXE analysis. There was a tendency toward a high accumulation of Ca on a relatively small drop (e.g., <1.0 mm diameter). It is thus suggested that smaller rain drops can effectively scavenge a significant amount of Asian dust particles in ambient atmosphere. The numerical estimation can account for 92.1% and 83.2% of Ca that were measured in small (<1.0 mm diameter) and large (>2.0 mm diameter) size drops, respectively.

Scale formation is inevitable problem when seawater is treated by vacuum membrane distillation. The reason is the high concentration of calcium ion($Ca^{2+}$), sulfate ion(${SO_4}^{2-}$) and bicarbonate ion(${HCO_3}^-$). These ions form calcium sulfate($CaSO_4$) and calcium carbonate($CaCO_3$) on the membrane. The scale formed on membrane has to be removed, because the flux can be severely reduced and membrane wetting can be incurred. This study was carried out to investigate scale formation and effectiveness of acid cleaning in vacuum membrane distillation for SWRO brine treatment. It was found that permeate flux gradually declined until volume concentration factor(VCF) reached around 1.55 and membrane wetting started over VCF over 1.6 in the formation of precipitates containing $CaSO_4$ during VMD operation. In contrast, when calcium carbonate formed on membrane, permeate flux was gradually reduced until VCF 3.0. The precipitates containing both $CaSO_4$ and $CaCO_3$ were formed on the membrane surface and in the membrane pore.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the friction characteristics of brake pads according to different ratios of $BaSO_4/CaCO_3$. Four brake pads with different ratios of $BaSO_4/CaCO_3$ were manufactured. The friction characteristics of brake pads were tested using 1/5 reduced scale tester. With increasing of the amount of $BaSO_4$ density and shear strength of brake pads were increased and hardness of brake pads were decreased. In effectiveness, the friction coefficient of brake pad was higher and the stability of friction coefficient was better as the ratio of $BaSO_4$ increased. In fade test, friction coefficient of B3 sample used only $CaCO_3$ was decreased rapidly. B1 sample showed a good noise performance without noise generation. The wear resistance of samples were decreased with increasing of the ratio of $CaCO_3$.

Fouling by inorganic scales needs to be prevented to effectively operate sea water reverse osmosis(SWRO) membrane systems. The extents of inorganic scaling with different array designs including one-pass, two-pass and several hybrid designs were evaluated using seawater from southern sea near the city of Chang-Won. The used methods for evaluation were Stiff and Davis Index(S&DSI) calculation and several laboratory experiments. The formation potential of inorganic scale fouling was quite great under the examined conditions, which was confirmed by the laboratory experimental results. The inorganic scale was not avoidable fouling if any anti-scaling measures were not applied. The RO showed decreased flux under the scale formation conditions. The increases in S&DSI from 1.43 to 5 made small decreases in flux, which indicated that formation of inorganic scales had more substantial effects on RO flux than amount of inorganic scales.

With the wide application of ASP (alkaline-surfactant-polymer) flooding, the scaling becomes more and more serious, which is harmful to the oilfield and environment. In order to investigate the effects of HPAM on calcium carbonate crystallization, the crystallization behaviors of $CaCO_3$ in HPAM (Hydrolyzed polyacrylamide) solutions were studied and the composition and morphology of $CaCO_3$ crystal were investigated in different concentrations of polyacrylamide solutions. The crystal forms and morphologies of $CaCO_3$ were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The results show that the crystallization of $CaCO_3$ is strongly influenced by the HPAM. The paper analyzed the internal cause, and the results show: The reasons leading to the change of morphology are carboxyl groups in polyacrylamide molecule and $Ca^{2+}$ in solution form chelates by coordination bond. And the chelates are adsorbed on the calcium hydroxide surfaces of solid-liquid interfaces so as to change the formation rate of calcium carbonate crystal nucleus. The research provides a reliable basis for the mechanism research of the scaling problem in the oil extraction process of ASP flooding and the adoption of scale inhibition and scale inhibitor.

As an alternate technique for water softening, high voltage impulse (HVI) is introduced and verified if it can control the $CaCO_3$ scale formation in industrial water treatment. After HVI was applied to the artificial hard water containing $100{\pm}5mg/L$ $Ca^{2+}$ for 4 hours, the $Ca^{2+}$ concentration and the electrical conductivity were measured. The concentration of $Ca^{2+}$ was reduced from 94.5 to 86.3 mg/L (8.7% reduction) after 4 hour contact of HVI under 5 kV condition. The $Ca^{2+}$ was decreased from 92 to 77.7 mg/L (15.6% reduction) at 8kV and from 90.1 to 75.4 mg/L (16.3% reduction) at 12 kV condition. Both of the contact time and the applied voltage were important parameters affecting the calcium ion reduction. With these results, it was verified that HVI technique could be potential candidate for control of $CaCO_3$ scale formation.

Scale generation in the inside of a pipe IS restricted by reduction and oxidation(REDOX) reaction of alloyed metal of Cu-Zn. To measure the scale generating rate in the 1.67 mm of inside diameter of stainless steel tube, 300 ppm of $CaCO_3$ solution is circulated in the REDOX reactor and stainless steel tube in the order. In the case of $CaCO_3$ solution treated by REDOX reactor, flowing is maintained without plugging in the stainless steel tube, and the concentration of Cu and Zn in the circulating solution showed less than 1 ppm, which is equal to that of untreated by REDOX reactor. The crystal type of $CaCO_3$ generated by crystalline nucleus of Cu or Zn, mostly showed aragonite type.

In nucleation assisted crystallization process formed $CO_2$ leaves as colloid gas and is used as the template by the rapidly growing crystals in the nucleation site. This emulsion of $CaCO_3$ micro-crystals & $CO_2$ micro-bubbles forms hollow particles. Formed hollow particles are double walled, both internal and external faces belonging to the cleavage aragonites which separate the surrounding water from the enclosed gas cavity. Hence, the reverse reaction of $CO_2$ with water forming Carbonic Acid is not possible and the pH stability is maintained. In fact every excess $CaCO_3$ crystals are buffering any carbonic acid left over. This $CO_2$ based nucleation technology prevents scale formation in water channels, but it also helps to reduce the previously formed scales. This process takes out water dissolved $CO_2$ in almost-visible micro-bubbles forms that helps reducing previously formed scale over a period of time (depends on the usage period). The aragonite crystals can't form scale because of its stable molecular structure and neutral surface electro potentiality.
