In this study, the optimization of carbonization conditions in manufacturing processes was performed to improve the absorption performance of sewage sludge based sorbent used for treating $H_2S$ out of all odorous substances generated by various environmental facilities. Adsorbents applied were manufactured from the sewage treatment plant under different carbonization conditions, such as temperature and heating rate, and the correlation between the adsorption performance and physical properties of the adsorbents was verified. As a result, the adsorption performance of sludge at $900^{\circ}C$ with a heating rate of $10^{\circ}C/min$ was the best, and the SEM and BET analysis revealed that specific surface area and characteristics of pore (size, volume) were major parameters for the adsorption. In addition, the effect of K ions used for improving the adsorption performance of the optimum carbonization condition sorbent was insignificant for the sewage sludge based sorbent.

In this study, the regeneration effect of pressurized water and ultrasonic cleaning was investigated for contaminated filter cloth from the sewage sludge filter press process. For this purpose, contaminated filter cloth was collected from a 3-ton sewage sludge hydrothermal carbon treatment filter press. First, the contamination characteristics were analyzed. According to the location of the filter cloth, air permeability and unit mass were measured, and compared with the values of a new filter cloth. Next, the results were mapped over the entire area to evaluate the contamination characteristics. Finally, pressure cleaning at 3 bar and ultrasound at frequencies of 34, 76, 120, and 168 kHz were performed on the contaminated filter cloth. In addition, the cleaning efficiency was evaluated by 3 levels of contamination degree. As a result, pore contamination occurred mainly at the bottom and both sides of the filter cloth, where the filter material was continuously injected and compressed. Surface contamination appeared evenly over the entire area. As a result of washing, air permeability increased by 1.3-3.1%p and contaminant removal was by 2.7-4.4% under pressure. In ultrasonic cleaning, air permeability increased by 12.5-61.5%p and contaminants were removed by 2.7-29.2%. In ultrasonic cleaning the lower the frequency, the higher air permeability and contaminant removal rate. Also, The higher pore contamination level, the better the air permeability improvement and contaminant removal.

북제주군 협재리 해안가 인근에 소재한 건지굴을 대상으로 화산지역의 용암동굴에서 특이하게 진행되고 있는 응암석회질화(鎔岩石灰質化: lava-calcification)의 위종동(僞鐘洞)에 대하여 동굴내부와 주변상황에 근거한 분석, 고찰을 통하여 석회질화의 원인을 규명하고, 생태와 환경 및 동굴해안접경구와의 상관성을 고찰하고, 주위에 흔히 분포되어있는 스코리아에 대해 분석응용을 하였다. 용암(화산)동굴은 생성이후 퇴화한다. 그러나 용암동굴에서 용암석회질화의 위종동 현상이 발생하면 용암의 기공과 균열부분 또는 용암석간의 공극에 석회질 성분이 침투, 고화, 융합되면서 구조적 보강효과의 발생으로 오히려 건축구조물의 콘크리트 역할과 같이 견고하게 진행되는 특이현상을 갖는다. 이와 같은 진행성 용암석회질화 현상이 북제주군 협재리에 소재한 건지굴에서 진행되고 있음을 최초로 확인하였다.

퓨란수지로부터 유리질 탄소를 제조하였다. 유리질 탄소의 제조시, 사용된 수지가 경화 및 탄화 단계에서 많은 양의 가스를 방출하면서 큰 수축이 발생하여 크랙을 형성하고 휨 현상을 일으킨다. 이런 현상을 감소시키기 위하여 본 실험에서는 경화단계에서 압력을 가하고, 가열속도를 매우 느리게 하였다. 또한, 경화단계에서 무게감소와 수축율을 억제하고, 발생하는 가스의 배출을 용이하게 하여 궁극적으로는 시편의 크랙 및 휨 현상을 방지하고자 필러와 알콜을 첨가하였다. 그 결과, 무게감소와 수축을 억제하고 밀도의 증가를 가져왔고 유리질 탄소를 용이하게 제조할 수 있었으나 알코올을 첨가한 경우 필러의 양이 증가할수록 높은 비저항 값과 낮은 강도값을 나타내었다. 이런 현상은 알코올이 경화단계에서 분해 증발하면서 미세한 기포를 형성하고 이것들이 기공으로 전이하여 최종 제품에까지 영향을 주었기 때문이다.

나노 채널 구조는 반응 물질의 빠른 확산 경로를 제공하고, 넓은 반응 활성화 면적을 가지므로, 센서, 촉매, 전지 등의 다양한 기능성 전기 화학 소자용 고효율 전극 구조로서 관심을 받고 있다. 최근 양극 산화법을 이용하여, 자가 배열된 나노 채널 구조의 주석 산화물을 형성시키는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나, 기재위에 도금된 주석 박막이 양극 산화에 의해 산화물로 변화하는 과정에서 내부 균열 및 표면 기공의 막힘 현상이 관찰되고, 기재 위 주석의 산화가 완료되는 시점에서는 기재의 산화 및 산소 발생에 의한 기계적 충격 등으로 인해 산화물이 기재로부터 탈리되는 문제가 발생하여, 그 응용 연구가 크게 제한되어 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 다공성 주석 산화물 합성 시의 구조적 결함이 나타나는 이유에 대해 체계적으로 분석하고, 이를 바탕으로 결함이 없는 나노 채널 주석 산화물을 제조하는 방법을 제시하였다. 또한, 주석 산화물 박막을 기능성 전기화학 소자용 전극 활물질, 특히 리튬 전지용 음극재료로 사용하기 위한 효과적인 전극 제조 방법에 대해 논의하고, 그에 따라 제조된 전극의 충방전 용량, 사이클링 안정성 등을 제시하였다.

The internal short-circuit between cathodes and anodes has been known to be a critical concern for the safety failures of lithium-ion batteries, which is strongly influenced by the thermal stability of separators. In this study, to effectively suppress the internal short-circuit failures, we developed a new composite separator with the improved thermal stability compared to conventional polyolefin-based separators. The composite separators were prepared by introducing a ceramic coating layer ($Al_2O_3$/PVdF-HFP) onto both sides of a polyethylene (PE) separator. The microporous structure of ceramic coating layers is determined by controlling the phase inversion of coating solutions and becomes more developed with the increase of nonsolvent (water) content. This structural change of ceramic coating layers was observed to greatly affect the thermal stability as well as the electrochemical performance of composite separators, which was systematically discussed in terms of phase inversion.

The objective of this study is to convert methane into hydrogen using a nanoporous catalyst in the $CO_2$ containing syngas generated from the gasified waste. For the purpose, $Ni/Al_2O_3$ catalyst was prepared with the one-pot method. According to analyses of the catalyst, three dimensionally linked sponge shaped particles were created and the prepared nanoporous catalysts had larger surface area and smaller particle size and more uniform pores compared to the sphere shaped commercial catalyst. The catalyst for reforming reaction gave the highest $CH_4$ conversion of 91%, and $CO_2$ conversion of 92% when impregnated with 16 wt% of Ni at the reaction temperature of $750^{\circ}C$. At that time, the prepared catalyst remarkably improved the $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ conversion up to 20% compared to the commercial one.

The use of Al alloys instead of fiber-reinforced plastic(FRP) in ship construction has increased because of the advantages of Al-alloy ships, including high speed, increased load capacity, and ease of recycling. This paper describes the effects of probe diameter on the optimum friction stir welding conditions of 5456-H116 alloy for leisure ship, measured by a tensile test. In friction stir welding using a probe diameter of 5 mm under various travel and rotation speed conditions, the best performance was achieved with a travel speed of 61 mm/min. Using a probe diameter of 6 mm, rotation speeds of 170-210 rpm, and a travel speed of 15 mm/min produced a rough surface and voids because of insufficient heat input produced by the low rotation speed. At 500-800 rpm, chips were observed, although there were no voids, and the weld surface was excellent. However, at 1100-2500 rpm, many chips were produced due to excessive heat input. Heat effects were very evident on the bottom. For a travel speed of 15 mm/min, heat input caused by friction increased as the rotation speed increased. The mechanical characteristics were degraded by accelerated softening due to increasing heat input.

Adding temper into clay prevents to shrink and crack, or twist the clay during the dry process. The purpose of this study is to identify the role of temper and the physical property of earthenware coffin according to the clay state modification in the reduction firing based on earthenware coffins found in Naju which had been made in Three Kingdom Period. Clay from the Oryang-dong site in Naju was used as circle shaped samples. The samples were tempered with various proportions (0%, 20%, 40%) and fired in various temperature ($1000^{\circ}C$, $1100^{\circ}C$, $1200^{\circ}C$). Physical properties were identified by macroscopy, an optical microscope (x50), specific gravity and porosity. Chemical components and existence of specific minerals were identified by analysing XRF and XRD. As a result, the more firing temperature increase, clay volume expansion. To prevent the volume expansion, temper was added.
