In this study, computer simulations have been performed for the removal of the transformer oil contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in supercritical water through complete combustion reaction. We regarded n-decane as a main material of transformer oil, and it is assumed to be 3.0 wt％ of transformer oil in supercritical water. We used Peng-Robinson equation of state to estimate the physical properties of components in supercritical water. Throughout the computer simulation done in this work, we could explain the solubilities of 3.0 wt% of transformer oil and excess oxygen in supercritical water.

물류 표준화의 핵심은 수송, 보관, 포장, 상/하역, 정보/보안의 물류활동간의 호환성과 연계성의 확보이다. 국제표준 채택을 의무화하고 있는 WTO/TBT 협정을 차치하더라도 물류표준화의 정도는 국가의 물류경쟁력을 결정짓는 가장 중요한 척도라고 할 수 있다. 특히 한 중 일 3국의 경우 교역랑만 5조 3,236억불로 전 세계 교역량의 17.6%(2010년 기준), GDP 합계 12조3443억 달러로(2010년 기준) 세계전체 GDP 62조 9093억 달러 중 19.6%, 해운물동량은 전 세계 물동량의 60% 이상을 차지하고 있는 상황에서 물류경쟁력은 곧 국가경쟁력으로 보아도 무방하다. 아직도 국내에서는 물류분야 간 연계와 첨단정보기술이 결합된 현장중심의 융 복합 표준이 미비하고 대부분의 경우 해외국가들이 자신들의 입장대로 추진하거나 선점한 표준을 따라가기 바쁜 실정이었다. 스마트물류표준화는 이러한 현실에서 탈피하여 글로벌 물류표준을 선도하고 국내 현실에 적합한 현장물류표준을 반영하자는 취지에서 출발한다. 스마트물류는 i-ULS(Intelligent-Unified Logistics System) 체계, 즉 IT와 각 물류기술을 융합하여 표준화시키는 것은 물론 기존 표준을 산업현실에 맞게 반영해 나가는 것이 국가표준코디네이터로서의 주요한 목표가 되고 있다. 본 고는 전년도 스마트물류 표준화로드업에 작성된 표준화기술 중 산업체 설문을 통하여 10대 주요 표준화 트렌드를 선정하여 정리한 것이다. 10대 표준화 기술로는 순환물류포장시스템, 실시간 위치추적기술, 스마트컨테이너(Smart Freight Containers), 해상용 컨테이너 모니터링 시스템(CTMS), 글로벌 포장 표준모듈, 친환경물류 표준지표, 스마트물류 포장용기, 스마트그린물류센터(Passive Warehouse), 모바일 RFID 물류 적용 기술, Modal Shift(전환교통) 등이 선정되었다. 이번 4월호 특집에서는 10대 표준화 전략트렌드 가운데, 스마트물류에 대해 알아보도록 한다.

There are 17,427 reservoirs in Korea, of which about 96% were built before the mid 1980s. Therefore, aging is severe and reinforcement are necessary. In addition, aged reservoirs, which are more than 50 years old, account for 70% of the total. Therefore, there is a problem such as the collapse of the reservoir and the decrease of the storage capacity due to progress of aging with time. The grouting method using cement is mainly used as maintenance and reinforcement method of old reservoir. However, the grouting method using cement has engineering and environmental problems. In order to solve the engineering and environmental problems of cement grouting method, an eco-friendly grouting material was developed that mixes circular resource grouting binder, high molar ratio sodium silicate and colloidal silica. The engineering and environmental properties of the developed injection materials were evaluated by conducting gel time, homo-gel strength, sea water resistance test and environmental stability evaluation. Also, examined the possibility of replacing OPC existing aged reservoir reinforcement methods. As a result, it was found out that it was better than the conventional cement method in terms of engineering and environment. However, since this study is the result of laboratory test, it is necessary of verify the application at field of aged reservoir.

Diabetic retinopathy is a complicated form of diabetes due to circulatory disorder in the peripheral blood vessels of the retina. We segment the microvessel for diagnosing diabetic retinophathy. The conventional methods using filter and features can segment the thick blood vessels, but it has relatively weak for segmenting fine blood vessels. In pre-processing step, noise reduction filter and histogram equalization are applied to suppress the noise and enhance the image contrast. Then, deep learning technique is used for pixel-by-pixel segmentation. The accuracy of conventional methods is between 90% to 94%, while the proposed method has improved as 95% accuracy. There is a problem of segmentation error around the optic disc and exudate due to the network depth. However the accuracy can be improved by modifying the network architecture in the future.

최근 우리나라의 계절적 강우변동폭이 점점 커져 홍수, 가뭄의 발생빈도와 심도가 증가하고 있다. 특히, 도시화에 따른 토지이용변화, 산업구조변화 등은 수자원의 수요량 및 공급량 불균형으로 이어져 수자원 관리에서 제약조건으로 작용하고 있다. 유역 내의 물순환을 평가에 있어서 물수지 모델 구축과 함께 정확한 강우-유출 분석은 매우 중요한 분석단계라 할 수 있다. 이러한 점에서 본 연구에서는 국내외 주요 연속강우-유출모형의 특성을 파악하고 모형 최적화를 통해 계측유역에 대해서 적합성을 평가하였다. 미계측유역의 불확실성을 고려한 유량 시나리오를 제시하기 위하여 다수의 모형을 활용하는 앙상블 개념을 도입하였으며, 향후 미계측유역으로 모형의 확장성을 고려하여 매개변수 개수 및 관측 유량에 대한 재현능력 특성 등을 종합적으로 평가하였다. 본 연구에서는 40개 이상의 국내외 연속강우-유출모형을 소양강댐에 적용하였으며, 통계적 지표를 이용하여 모형을 1차적으로 선정하였다. 선정된 모형을 대상으로 매개변수의 개수 및 저유량, 중간유량, 고유량으로 분리하여 재현성을 평가하고 최종적으로 앙상블모형을 제시하였다.

Limestone (CaCO₃, calcium carbonate), which is used as a raw material in the portland cement and steel industry, emits CO₂ through decarbonation by high temperatures in the manufacturing process. To reduce CO₂ emissions by the use of raw materials like limestone, it has been proposed to replace limestone with various industrial by-products that contain CaO but less or none of the carbonated minerals, that cause CO₂ emissions. Loss of Ignition (LOI), Thermogravimetric analysis (TG), and Infrared Spectroscopy (IR) are used to quantitative the amount of CO₂ emission by using these industrial by-products, but CO₂ emissions can be either over or underestimated depending on the characteristics of by-product materials. In this study, we estimated CO₂ contents by LOI, TG, IR and DTG(Differential Thermogravimetric analysis) of calcite(CaCO₃) and samples that contain CO₂ in the form of carbonate and whose weight increases by oxidation at high temperatures. The test results showed for CaCO₃ samples, all test methods have a sufficient level of reliability. On the other hand, for the CO₂ content of the sample whose weight increases at high temperature, LOI and TG did not properly estimate the CO₂ content of the sample, and IR tended to overestimate compared to the predicted value, but the estimated result by DTG was close to the predicted valu e. From these resu lts, in the case of samples that contain less than a few percent of CO₂ and whose weight increases during the temperature that carbonate minerals decompose, estimating the CO₂ content using DTG is a more reasonable way than LOI, TG, and IR.

Carbon is not only an essential element for life but also a key player in climate change. The radiocarbon (¹⁴C) analysis using accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) is a powerful tool not only to understand the carbon cycle but also to track pollutants derived from fossil carbon, which have a distinct radiocarbon isotope ratio (Δ¹⁴C). Many studies have reported Δ¹⁴C of carbon compounds in streams, rivers, rain, snow, throughfall, fine particulate matter (PM_2.5), and wastewater treatment plant effluents in South Korea, which are reviewed in this manuscript. In summary, (1) stream and river carbon in South Korea are largely derived from the chemical weathering of soils and rocks, and organic compounds in plants and soils, strongly influenced by precipitation, wastewater treatment effluents, agricultural land use, soil water, and groundwater. (2) Unprecedentedly high Δ¹⁴C of precipitation during winter has been reported, which can directly and indirectly influence stream and river carbon. Although we cannot exclude the possibility of local contamination sources of high Δ¹⁴C, the results suggest that stream dissolved organic carbon could be older than previously thought, warranting future studies. (3) The ¹⁴C analysis has also been applied to quantify the sources of forest throughfall and PM_2.5, providing new insights. The ¹⁴C data on a variety of ecosystems will be valuable not only to track the pollutants derived from fossil carbon but also to improve our understanding of climate change and provide solutions.

Designing water-reuse network which can reduce the fresh water within the process and increase the water-use efficiency by scientific and systematic analysis is recently interested in the industries. Water systems often allow efficient water uses via water reuse and recirculation in the paper, petrochemical, and steel industries which necessitate a lot of freshwater within the process. Defining network layout connecting water-using process is frequently accomplished by using water pinch technology which optimizes freshwater entering the process and also reduces the wastewater. In this review, recent researches and case studies of water pinch technology which can find the bottleneck of the water stream at the water reuse designing stage are introduced. Necessity of water pinch technology is illustrated by examples of real industries. Recent studies on simultaneous energy and water minimization and water-reuse network among industries in eco-industrial park(EIP) are also introduced.
