해양환경 하에서 대형 강구조물의 경우 장기간 부식손상을 방지하기 위해 아크 용사코팅 기술이 오래전부터 유용하게 이용되어 왔다. 아크 용사코팅 기술은 타 용사코팅 기술에 비해 경제성과 생산성이 뛰어나 대형 강구조물에 적용되고 있다. 용사재료로는 Al, Zn 또는 그 합금들이 주로 사용되어 강재에 대해 희생양극 방식효과를 나타낸다. 그러나 아크용사에 의해 적층된 코팅 층은 용사공정 중 불가피하게 수많은 기공과 산화물이 포함되어 내식성 및 내구성에 악영향을 미치게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 알루미늄 합금의 용사코팅 층에 대하여 다양한 후처리를 통해 내식성과 더불어 내구성을 향상시키고자 하였다. 용사코팅은 알루미늄 합금 선재(1.6 ${\varnothing}$)를 사용하여 아크용사를 실시하였다. 용사 시 용사거리는 200 mm, 공기압력은 약 $7kg/cm^2$ 정도로 유지하면서 용사코팅을 실시하여 약 $200{\mu}m$ 두께로 코팅 층을 형성시켰다. 이후 용사코팅 층의 표면에 다양한 후처리재를 적용하였으며, 내구성을 평가하기 위하여 후처리 적용 전후 시험편에 대하여 캐비테이션 실험을 실시하였다. 캐비테이션 실험은 ASTM G32-92에 의거하여 주파수 20 kHz의 초음파 진동 장치(ultrasonic vibratory device)를 사용하였다. 그리고 시험편 표면과 발진 혼에 부착된 팁(tip)과의 거리는 1 mm로 일정하게 유지시킨 뒤, 캐비테이션 발생 시간을 변수로 하여 실험을 실시하였다. 손상된 용사코팅 층의 표면은 주사전자현미경과 광학현미경으로 관찰하였으며, 시험편 손상깊이는 3D 현미경으로 비교 분석하였다. 또한 캐비테이션 실험 전후의 무게를 측정하여 무게 감소량을 상호 비교하였다. 그리고 전기화학적 실험은 천연해수 속에서 자체 제작한 홀더(holder)를 이용하여 $0.33183cm^2$의 용사코팅 층만을 노출시켜 실시하였다. 그리고 기준전극은 은/염화은 전극을, 대극은 백금전극을 사용하였다. 분극실험을 통해 후처리 적용에 따른 용사코팅 층의 부식전위 및 부식전류밀도를 비교 평가하였다. 그 결과, 용사코팅 층에 의하여 강재에 대한 희생양극 방식전위가 확보되었으며, 후처리재가 적용된 용사코팅 층에서 내식성 및 캐비테이션 저항성이 향상되었다.

$SO_2$ has been absorbed and separated selectively by an ionic liquid from $SO_2/O_2$ mixture decomposed from sulfuric acid during the thermochemical SI cycle for the water splitting. In order to design and operate high pressure $SO_2/O_2$ separation system, the solubility of $SO_2$ in [EMIm]$EtSO_4$ (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate) has been measured by Magnetic Suspension Balance at high pressure and temperature. Based on the measured solubility, a pressurized separation system was set up and operated. 194 L/h of $SO_2$($SO_2:O_2$=0.65:1) has been separated with 99.85% of $O_2$ at the vent of absorption tower, which is 22.7% of the theoretically ideal capacity of the system. This discrepancy results from the reduced contact between the gaseous $SO_2$ and the ionic liquid. Increased $SO_2$ supply, scale-up of the absorption column, and a faster ionic liquid circulation speed were suggested to improve the separation capacity.

Dry etching of NiFe, NiFeCo, and Ta for magnetic random access memory (MRAM) by inductively coupled plasmas (ICPs) of $Cl_2/Ar$ has been carried out. NiFe and NiFeCo showed maximum etch rates at a particular ICP source power, but the etch rate of Ta increased with the ICP source power. The etch rates of the magnetic thin films increased with the RF chuck power, but decreased with the operating pressure and the $Cl_2$ concentration. To avoid a corrosion problem by chlorine, the etched samples were rinsed with de-ionized water for 5 minutes after etching. The etch profile showed a clean and smooth surface at 50% $Cl_2$ concentration.

As sediment contamination problems have recently been raised in Korea, the need for technologies to remove contaminants in sediments has increased. Contaminated sediments in Korea has been annually dredged and treated using processes of coagulation/flocculation, sedimentation on barges, dewatered and dried at prepared site, and then disposed at a landfill site, which is very costly, and only a limited landfill space available in Korea. Contaminants in media containing a high percentage of silt and clay sized particles, typically, are strongly adsorbed on the particles and difficult to remove. Particle separation processes that separate the fine clay and silt particles from the coarser sand and gravel and concentrate the contaminants into a smaller volume of sediment that can be further treated of disposed of, are very effective in the post step processes. In this study are to test the feasibility of treating dredged sediments using a hydrocyclone process, and to estimate design parameters for a pilot scale test. A hydrocyclone was operated to separate larger particles from the sediments. It was found that the particle separation was greatly affected by the solid contents and inlet pressure in the hydrocyclone.

Addition of large particles restrains densification by small particles in mixed particle systems. In the present study, large SiC whiskers or particles were introduced into small particles for restraining densification and the mixtures were sintered using yttrium aluminum garnet (Y$_3$A1$\sub$5/O$\sub$12/, YAG) as a sintering additive. By controlling the content of large SiC whiskers or particles and the applied pressure during sintering, porous SiC ceramics, with a porosity ranging from 0.3% to 39%, were fabricated. Porosity increased with increasing the content of restraining materials. SiC whiskers were more effective than large SiC partcles for restraining densification. Permeability of the porous SiC ceramics increased with increasing the porosity. Flexural strength decreased with increasing porosity. A noticeable increase in strain to failure was observed in the porous ceramics with a porosity ranging from 18% to 39%.

There have been many technologies and materials proposed for realizing microlens array, and plastic injection is recognized as the most promising one because of several merits such as optical properties, impact resistance, formability, lightening and environmental adaptability. Since PR reflow for injection template fabrication enables the lens shape control easier, and the sample technology more effective for mass production, it lowers the cost, enhances integration, and reduces process steps, which leads to be environmentally benign. However injection of polymers may face the difficulty of formability depending on their properties. In order to overcome the difficulty, fast heating/cooling technology was introduced in this study, and microlenses were fabricated and evaluated. template obtained by PR reflow method was heated and cooled fast during injection to fabricate microlens array. PC and PMMA polymer materials were compared, and it was realized that PMMA showed much better formability due to its lower melting temperature. Injection parameters of pressures and velocities were driven out for injection optimization.

In this study, the removal of $Si_3N_4$ particles from the surface of a silicon wafer was investigated by using supercritical carbon dioxide, the IPA co-solvent and cleaning additive chemicals. First, the solubility of several surfactants and binders in supercritical carbon dioxide solubility and particle dispersibility in the binders were evaluated in order to confirm their suitability for the supercritical cleaning process. Particle removal experiments were carried out with adjusting various process parameters and reaction conditions. The surfactants used in the experiment showed little particle removal effect, producing secondary contamination on the surface of wafers. On the other hand, 5 wt% (with respect to $scCO_2$) of the cleaning additive mixture of trimethyl phosphate, IPA, and trace HF resulted in 85% of particle removal efficiency after $scCO_2$ flowing for 4 minutes at $50^{\circ}C$, 2000 psi, and the flow rate of $15mL\;min^{-1}$.

Dongchimi as a Korean traditional fermented food was studied for the possibility of developing into as an ion beverage. Reverse osmosis process was applied to the concentration of dongchimi juice in this study. Dongchimi was prepared at different concentrations of salt and fermentation temperatures. Mineral components of concentrated dongchimi juice were analyzed and compared with those of ion beverage products. The changes of sugar contents and mineral contents were studied depending on different fermentation temperatures, periods and salt concentration. The amounts of mineral components such as $K^{+},\;Mg^{2+}\;and\;Ca^{2+}$ were increased during fermentation but slightly decreased in the last period. It was found that the concentrated dongchimi juice could be used as an improved ion beverage in future, since the electrolytic dissociation components were much more in the concentrated dongchimi juice than those in the existing ion beverages.

This study analysed error of measurement and reproducibility for particle size analysis by the laser diffraction spectrometer. Laser diffraction spectrometers has become a very important method of particle size analysis. This measuring method has the advantage of simple operation, good reproducibility and rapid analysis. A feeding and dispersing system have been developed, which allows mass throughputs between 0.1~23 g/min in flowing air and 1.4~35% in flowing liquid. It has been used as a feeder unit for wet and dry particle size analysis from diffraction patterns. Relevant parameters, such as particle shape, particle size, dispersion, flow rate, concentration were analysed for measuring error. And system parameters of instruments for measurement of dynamic processes, eg, measuring time, focal plane, injection pressure drop and dispersion effect by the ultrasonic and mixing of preliminary treatment, were also discussed.

Recently, densified pellet fuel from wood biomass is widely used at North America and Europe as a regenerable and clean carbon neutral bioenergy. High-pressure compaction of sawdust of Hyunsasi-poplar (Populus alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa) to form a densified fuel was studied. Calorific and elemental analysis were carried out to assess Hyunsasi-poplar clones as fuels. Hot-press process was adopted for compaction of sawdust and compaction was performed under temperature from 100 to 180$^{\circ}C$, at pressure of 250 to 1000 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and for 2.5 to 10 minutes. Densified fuels were evaluated by its oven-dry density and fines after 5-minute shaking test. The target density and fines of densified fuels were over 1.2 g/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and below 0.5%, respectively. When the press-temperature is over 160$^{\circ}C$, densified fuels with density eve. 1.2 g/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and with fines below 0.5% can be produced. And the pressure over 750 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ was effective for this production. It was found that the optimum press condition for preparation of densified fuel was 180$^{\circ}C$ -1000 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ minutes.
