자연수를 가압(4~5기압)하면서 물과 공기의 비를 4:1~3:1로 혼합하면 수체 내 초미세기포(Diameter $3{\sim}10{\mu}m$)가 발생하는데 이를 산소용해수라 하며 수질정화시설 또는 양식장 등에 널리 사용되고 있다. 산소용해수의 특징은 기포의 비표면적이 넓고 10시간 이상 포화 농도를 유지하여 수체에 잔류하는 시간이 길기 때문에, 일반 산기석을 활용한 포기나 순산소 용해 등의 타 방법과 구별된다. 산소용해수의 산소전달효율은 기존 방법과 큰 차이를 보이기 때문에 실제 적용시에는 대상수를 이용하여 산소전달계수($K_{L}a$)를 사전에 산정할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 한국건설기술 연구원의 안동 수자원 환경실험센터 내 실외형 콘크리트 사각반응수조에 산소용해장치 및 확산장치를 결합한 일체형 시스템을 적용시켜 2010년 9월~2011년 1월의 5개월간 결과를 분석, 본 장치의 $K_{L}a$를 산정 후 수질정화의 활용 면에서 검토하였다. $K_{L}a$의 산정에는 다양한 방법이 이용되나 용존 산소 농도의 제어에 한계가 있는 실외 대형실험장에 적합한 Lewis and Whitman의 Two-film 이론에 근거한 정상포기법을 적용하였다. 체적 $80m^3$의 수조 내에서 현장 유지용수를 대상으로 실험한 결과 산소전달계수는 $0.324\pm0.050$/min, 포화농도는 8.64 mg $O_2$/L, 도달시간은 11 /min이 산정되었으며, 이는 기존 산기석 포기의 산소전달계수 범위인 $0.105\pm0.019$ /min보다 약 3.1배 높은 결과를 보였다. 또한, 확산장치의 수류 순환 방향 및 정도를 검토하기 위하여 실험수조에서 1m단위로 격자를 구성한 후 초음파 유속계로 실측한 결과 0.0~2.5 m/s 의 평면적 유속범위를 도출하였다. 그리고 전체 순환을 고려했을 때 용존산소는 약 8시간 후 8.64 mg $O_2$/L 값에 도달하여 안정화 되었으며, 강한 수류순환과 산소용해수에 의해 하상에 존재하는 퇴적물들의 이송 및 산화촉진을 유도하였다. 이를 근거로 실험수조의 체적과 기준 가동시간인 8시간을 적용시켰을 때, 실험구 수질은 대조구와 비교하여 COD, T-N, T-P가 모두 25~35% 개선되었다. 이 결과는 여과공정 없이 단순 순환만을 고려한 물리적 수질정화 방법의 단독 활용 가능성을 나타내며, 기존 연구에서 나타난 SOD (Sediment oxygen demand) 저감 능력을 감안할 때 향후 폐쇄성 수역의 수질관리에도 효율적으로 활용할 수 있음을 시사한다.

To select the best oxygen carrier particle for syngas fueled chemical-looping combustor, the reduction reactivity and carbon deposition characteristics were determined in a thermogravimetric analyzer. Four kinds of oxygen carrier particles (NiO/bentonite, $NiO/LaAl_{11}O_{18}$, $Co_xO_y/CoAl_2O_4$, $NiO/NiAl_2O_4$) were tested with the simulated syngas (30% $H_2$, 10% $CO_2$, 60% CO) as a reduction gas. With each of these particles, the maximum conversion and oxygen transfer capacity increase with increasing the reduction temperature At the given experimental range, the optimum operating temperature to maximize oxygen transfer rate is found to be $900^{\circ}C$ and carbon deposition on the particles could avoid at the temperature above $800^{\circ}C$. Among four kinds of oxygen carrier particles, the NiO-based particles exhibits better reactivity than the CoO-based particle. Moreover, the NiO/bentonite particle produces the best reactivity based on the oxygen transfer rate and the degree of carbon deposition. The measured oxygen transfer rate increases as the metal oxide content in NiO/bentonite particle is increased thereby higher metal oxide contents could provide stable operation of chemical-looping combustor.

Although the use of silicone hydrogel contact lenses which are known to have high oxygen transmissibility is increasing, they are being sold without any product labeling of physical properties such as water content and oxygen transmissibility. To analyze the physical properties such as the water content and oxygen transmissibility of approved silicone hydrogel contact lenses, this study collected and analyzed the approval information published on the KFDA website. Of 68 cases of domestic silicone hydrogel contact lenses analyzed in this study, 61 cases (89.7%) did not meet the international standard for oxygen permeability. This is because lenses that are not different from hydrogel contact lenses were submitted for approval as silicone hydrogel contact lenses because there is no domestic standard for silicone hydrogel contact lenses. In future, besides the information published on the website, analysis of the physical properties of a wide variety of actual silicone hydrogel contact lenses on the market is required.

This study investigated the feasibility of $CaSnO_3$ particles as an oxygen carrier in chemical looping combustion (CLC). $CaSnO_3$ particles had a perovskite crystal structure and showed the structural stability after repeated reduction-oxidation reactions. The oxygen transfer capacity was 15.4 wt% almost the same as the calculated theoretical value from the crystal structure transformation during reduction. After $10^{th}$ cycles of reduction and oxidation, the oxygen transfer capacity and rate were still maintained constantly at an operating temperature. In conclusion, $CaSnO_3$ particles could be a good alternative material as an oxygen carrier in CLC.

Pluronic F-68 and oxygen vectors were applied to increase the cell growth of Angelica gigas Nakai in aqueous two-phase system (ATPS). ATPS was composed of 3.6% (w/v) polyethylene glycol (PEG) 20,000 and 2.8% (w/v) crude dextran. n-Hexadecane, n-dodecane and FC-40 were used as oxygen vectors to enhance the oxygen transfer in ATPS. With 2$\sim$10 g/L of Pluronic F-68, addition of of n-hexadecane and FC-40 significantly enhanced the oxygen transfer rate as well as the maximum cell mass in a medium with ATPS. However, n-dodecane reduced the cell growth in all treatments. Maximum cell densities were increased up to 27.5% with 10 g/L of Pluronic F-68 and up to 40.2% with 8% (v/v) n-hexadecane compared to those of the controls without Pluronic F-68 and oxygen vectors. It was confirmed that the cell growth could be increased in ATPS using n-hexadecane.

Cathodic oxygen reduction kinetics on $La_{0.9}Sr_{0.1}MnO_3$ electrode have been examined at $700-900^{\circ}C$ under various oxygen partial pressures. AC impedance and current interruption techniques were employed for the determination of charge transfer resistances for electrochemical oxygen reduction. The $R_{ct}$ values obtained from two different methods were very close each other for $La_{0.9}Sr_{0.1}MnO_3$ electrode. Activation energy for the electrochemical oxygen reduction was found to be 174kJ/mol under atmospheric oxygen pressure. $R_{ct}$ measurements as a function of oxygen partial pressure indicate that the rate-determining step for the electrochemical oxygen reduction on $La_{0.9}Sr_{0.1}MnO_3$ electrode is the charge transfer process.

To evaluate the characteristics and efficiency of oxygen transfer rate of a polystyrene foam bead as media in a packed column aerator was tested. This media has more surface area and cheaper than other ordinary plastic media. The polystyrene foam media was a sphere-shaped bead with 2.5 mm in diameter and specific surface area was 1,350 $m^2$/$m^3$. Oxygen transfer rate and standard aeration efficiency were tested under different hydraulic loading rates, depths of the media and temperatures. Experiment 1 was performed using a small packed column aerator with 10 cm in diameter and 1 m in length. The aerator filled with 0, 4.5, 9.0 and 18.0 cm of the media was tested under hydraulic loading rates of 2.0, 4.0 and 5.6 $m^3$/$m^2$/min at temperatures of 20, 25 and 3$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. In this experiment, standard oxygen transfer rate (SOTR) increased with the hydraulic loading rate and depth of the media increased. The maximum SOTR was reached at 5.6 $m^3$/$m^2$/min of hydraulic loading rate with 9 cm in depth of the media. However, standard aeration efficiency (SAE) decreased with the hydraulic loading rate increased because electricity consumed by pump increased as hydraulic loading rate increased. The highest SAE was reached at hydraulic loading rate of 2.0 $m^3$/$m^2$/min with 9.0 cm in depth of the media. Therefore, the highest SOTR and SAE were achieved at 9.0 cm in depth of the media regardless of the hydraulic loading rate. The maximum SAE was about 1.8 kg $O_2$/kW-hr with the hydraulic loading .ate of $m^3$/$m^2$/min at temperature of 20 $^{\circ}C$.Experiment 2 was performed using a larger aerator, 20 cm in diameter with 2 m in height. The aerator filled with 0, 9, 18, 27 and 36 cm of the media was operated under hydraulic loading rate of 2.0, 4.0 and 5.6 $m^3$/$m^2$/min at temperature of 27 $^{\circ}C$. The SAE reached to the highest efficiency (1.9 kg $O_2$/kW-hr) at 2.0 $m^3$/$m^2$/min of hydraulic loading rate and 36 cm in depth of the media. According to the above results, the polystyrene foam bead as a media in a packed column aerator was effective to increase oxygen transfer rate.

(La,Sr)MnO$_3$(LSM)-YSZ 복합체 양극의 산소환원 반응기구에 대해 고찰하였다. YSZ를 첨가함에 따라 복합체 양극의 ohmic 저항이 증가하고, 분극 저항은 YSZ를 40 wt%~50 wt% 혼합하였을 때 최소값을 나타내었다. 또한 LSM-YSZ 복합체 양극의 산소환원 반응기구는 1가 산소이온의 표면확산과 산소이온전달반응에 의해서 지배됨을 알 수 있었다. 임피던스 분석 결과에 따르면 고주파수 영역에서 나타나는 반원은 산소이온전달반응으로 산소분압 의존성이 거의 없고, YSZ가 40 wt% 첨가되었을 때 최소값을 나타내었다. 중간주파수 영역에서 나타나는 반원은 1가 산소이온의 표면확산반응으로 산소분압 의존성은 약 1/4이고, YSZ가 40~50 wt% 첨가되었을 때 최소값을 나타냈다. 한편, 저주파수 영역에 나타나는 반원은 가스확산반응으로 산소분압 의존성이 1이고, 온도에 따른 의존성이 거의 없었다.

To select appropriate oxygen carrier candidates for chemical looping combustion, reduction characteristics of seven oxygen carriers were measured and discussed using three different reduction gases, such as $H_2$, CO, and $CH_4$. Moreover, attrition losses of those oxygen carriers also measured and compared. Among seven oxygen carrier particles, OCN703-1100 and NiO/bentonite particles showed higher oxygen transfer capacity than other particles, but these particles showed more attrition loss than other particles. C14 and C28 particles which used as cheap oxygen carriers in European country showed lower oxygen transfer capacity and less attrition loss. Based on the experimental results, we could select OCN717-R1SU, NC001, and N002 particles as candidates for future works because these oxygen carriers showed enough oxygen transfer capacity and good attrition resistance.
