Four types of mesoporous spherical silica adsorbents with different physical properties were prepared by spray pyrolysis and were used for the purification of the anticancer agent paclitaxel from plant cell cultures. Pore size had a greater effect on the removal of plant-derived impurities during the pre-purification of paclitaxel compared with surface area and pore volume. An appropriate pore diameter (~9.07 nm) was required to achieve the highest purity (~46.1%) and yield (~82.3%) of paclitaxel. These results were confirmed by HPLC analysis of the absorbent after treatment and Thermogravimetric analysis of the organic substances bonded to the adsorbent.

Silicon alloys are considered promising anode active materials to replace Li-ion batteries by graphite powder, because they have a relatively high capacity of up to 4200 mAh/g, and are environmentally friendly and inexpensive ECO-materials. However, its poor charge/discharge properties, induced by cracking during cycles, constitute their most serious problem as anode electrode. In order to solve these problems, Si-Ge-Al alloys with porous structure are designed as anode alloy powders, to improve cycling stability. The alloys are melt-spun to obtain the rapidly solidified ribbons, and then ball-milled to make fine powders. The powders are etched using 1 M HCl solution, which gives the powders a porous structure by removing the element Al. Subsequently, in this study, the microstructures and the characteristics of the etched powders are evaluated for application as anode materials. As a result, the etched porous powder shows better electrochemical properties than as-milled Si-Ge-Al powder.

양자점 감응형 태양전지는 가시광 영역을 흡수, 이용할 수 있는 광감응 물질로 무기물 양자점을 사용하며, 이 경우 나노미터 크기의 무기물 양자점으로 인한 양자제한 효과 (quantum confinement effect)에 의해 양자점의 사이즈 조절 만으로 밴드갭을 조절할 수 있어 광학적 특성 조절이 용이하며, 하나의 광자를 흡수하여 두개 이상의 전자-정공쌍을 만들 수 있는 (multiple exciton generation) 가능성이 있어 기존 태양전지가 가지는 이론적 한계효율(Shockley-Queisser limit)을 뛰어넘을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 양자점 및 염료 감응형 태양전지분야에서 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 TiO2 다공성 필름이 아닌, ZnO 나노선 구조를 이용하여 양자점 감응형 태양전지를 제작하였다. ZnO의 경우 TiO2보다 높은 전자이동도를 가지며, 나노선 구조가 바닥전극까지 수직 연결된 1차원의 전자전달경로를 제공하여 결과적으로 광전자 포집에 유리하다. 또한, CdS, CdSe 양자점을 동시에 사용하여 광흡수 범위를 가시광 전 영역으로 확장하였으며, 계단형 밴드구조를 통해 광전자-정공 분리 및 포집을 용이하게 하였다. 더 나아가 전해질의 조성, 나노선의 길이 등 다양한 부분을 조절하면서 각 변수가 소자의 효율에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다.

The performance evaluation of the micro thruster utilizing hydrogen peroxide decomposition is described. The catalyst bed was made of porous ceramic material($Isolite^{(R)}$) with large surface to mass ratio. 14%wt platinum was loaded on the catalyst support as a catalyst. Hydrogen peroxide with 85% concentration was used as a monopropellant. The length of the catalyst bed and the feed pressure of the hydrogen peroxide were taken as the parameters for the experiment. All experiments were carried out under cold start condition for 30 seconds. The $c^*$ efficiency was evaluated for each test case using measured pressure data. For the catalyst support length of 30 mm and feed pressure at 5.51 bar, satisfactory $c^*$ efficiency beyond 95% was observed.

In this study, hydrogels with fast swelling and high absorbent properties were prepared using biopolymers approved as a food additive and their swelling properties were characterized. To improve the swelling properties of conventional hydrogels, we formed gas bubbles using a foaming agent in the process of preparing hydrogels and characterized in terms of equilibrium swelling ratio, swelling kinetics and cytotoxicity. In particular, alginate hydrogels observed by a digital microscope have an open-pore channels structure with the sizes of hundreds micrometers. Also, the cell viability of all hydrogels were found to be much higher than that of poly(acrylic acid).

Though multilayered foam-panel structures have been widely used to reduce sound transmission in various fields, most of the previous works to design them were conducted by repeated analyses or experiments based on initially given configurations or sequences. Therefore, it was difficult to obtain an optimal sequence of multilayered foam-panel structure yielding superior sound isolation capability. In this work, we propose a new design method to sequence a multi-panel structure lined with a poroelastic material having maximized sound transmission loss. Being formulated as a one-dimensional topology optimization problem fur a given target frequency, the optimal sequencing of panel-poroelastic layers is systematically carried out in an iterative manner. In this method, a panel layer is expressed as a limiting case of a poroelastic layer to facilitate the optimization process. This means that main material properties of a poroelastic material are treated as interpolated functions of design variable. The designed sequences of panel-poroelastic multilayer were shown to be significantly affected by the target frequencies; more panels were obtained at higher target frequency. The sound transmission loss of the system was calculated by the transfer matrix derived from Biot's theory.

Environmental problems have showen over the past decades due to the rapid development of the world economy and the continued growth of the population. Ocher has been widely used for water treatment research, but few studies have been conducted on adsorption of air pollutants using ocher and porous diatomite earth for indoor air purification. In this study, ocher and diatomite earth were sintered with filters to remove indoor air pollutants. The four types of TMA, H₂S, NH₃ and CH₃COOH were used to study the adsorption efficiency of ocher and porous diatomite filters. With the proper use of ocher, diatomite and copper catalysts, indoor air pollutants could be adsorbed. Alkaline substances (TMA and NH₃) and acidic substances (H₂S and CH₃COOH) were able to adsorb at 120 and 90 minutes, respectively.

고도의 산업화에 따라 도시의 성장과 인구의 밀집으로 인하여 물의 수요가 증가하고 이에 따라 각종 오염원의 유입이 증가함에 따라서 적절한 수질 관리에 대한 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 그리고 산업이 다양화됨에 따라 배출되는 하 폐수의 특성도 다양해져 기존의 수질처리장은 효율적인 처리를 하는데 있어 많은 어려움이 발생되고 있다. 굴 패각은 하수처리의 담체로 이용할 경우 살수여상의 문제점 중 하나로 나타나는 막힘 현상을 다소 감소시킬 수 있고, 다공질체로서 표면적이 불규칙하고 비표면적이 크기 때문에 반응기내에 공기를 원활하게 공급할 수 있으며, 중금속 이온과 유기물에 대한 흡착 효율이 뛰어나 미생물이 쉽게 부착, 성장할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 천연광물질은 전 세계적으로 발견되어 활용된 역사가 짧지만, 그 특징은 산소결핍보충, 유해원소 흡착 성능, 반도체 작용, 인체 면역력 강화, 바이러스성 질병의 예방, 중금속 해독 등의 다양한 특징으로 환경호르몬 제고, 음이온 원적외선 발생으로 세포의 노화방지, 인체 노폐물 제거와 같은 특징을 지닌 매우 유용한 자원으로 확인되고 있으며, 수질정화 능력이 탁월한 것으로 보고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 어촌폐기물인 굴 패각과 수질정화에 탁월한 천연 광물질을 혼합하여 경제적이고, 효율성이 높은 다공성 수질개선 담체를 개발하고, 수목여과용 비점오염시설 장치에 적용하여 혼합 담체가 수처리 시설의 담체로서 사용이 가능한지, 수목여과용 비점오염시설 장치에 적용할 수 있는지 검토하고자 수행하였다. 이 연구는 2017년 중소기업청 기술개발사업에서 연구지원을 받아 연구되었습니다.

Sokkuram grotto, a UNESCO cultural heritage in Kyongju Korea, was originally covered with crushed rocks over its dome with ventilating holes. The grotto was perfectly preserved for more than 12 centuries until the upper structure was replaced with a concrete dome in the early 20th century to protect from total collapse. Since then, heavy dew formed on the granite surface to seriously damage the sculptures until it was further remodeled with air-conditioning facilities in the 60s. It is considered that the original upper porous structure had a dehumidifying capability. This research is made to unveil the dehumidifying mechanism of the rock layer during the rainy season in that area. A rock layer and a concrete layer are tested in a temperature/humidity-controlled room. No dew formation is observed for the two specimen for continued sunny days or continued rainy days. However, heavy dew formed on the concrete surface for a sunny day after long rainy days. It is thought that the sun evaporates water on the ground and dew is formed at the surface as the highly humid air touches the yet cold concrete. On the contrary, no dew formation is observed for the rock layer at any time. Even in the above worst situation, air flows downward through the cool rock layer and moisture is removed before reaching inside. Temperature measurement, flow visualization, observation of dew formation and measurement of air velocity are made to verify the mechanisms.
