연꽃잎 효과(Lotus effect)라 불리는 자가 세정 효과(self cleaning effect)는 연꽃이 항상 깨끗한 상태를 유지하는 것이 관찰되면서 꾸준히 관심에 대상이 되어 왔었다. 자가 세정 효과는 접촉각 $150^{\circ}$ 이상의 초소수성 표면에서 구현이 가능하며 이런 표면을 일상생활부터 산업분야까지 응용하고자 하는 많은 노력들이 있었다. 물질의 친수성 또는 소수성은 표면의 거칠기(roughness)와 표면에너지(surface energy)의 두 가지 특성에 의해 결정된다. 하지만 낮은 표면에너지 물질을 사용해도 접촉각 $150^{\circ}$ 이상의 초소수성 표면을 얻긴 힘들며, 표면의 거칠기를 증가시켜야 한다. PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene)는 낮은 표면에너지를 가진 소수성 물질로 bulk일 경우 접촉각이 약 $108^{\circ}$이지만 거친 표면을 가진 박막으로 만들 경우 접촉각이 $150^{\circ}$ 이상의 값을 가지는 초수수성 표면이 가능한 물질이다. 특히, 초소수성 표면 이외에 우수한 내열성 및 내화학성 특성을 가지고 있어 디스플레이 및 태양전지 등의 자가세정(self cleaning) 보호막으로써 응용이 기대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 HFPO (hexafluoropropylene)를 원료 가스로 이용하여, Si(100)과 유리 기판위에 Cat-CVD (Catalytic Chemical Vapor Deposition)법으로 PTFE 박막을 증착하였다. 텅스텐(W)을 촉매로 사용하였으며, 촉매온도가 $850^{\circ}C$이상인 조건에서 접촉각이 $150^{\circ}$ 이상인 초소수성 PTFE 표면을 쉽게 얻을 수 있었다. 특히 본 연구에서는 제막압력을 300 mTorr에서 700 mTorr까지 변화시켜 가며 유리와 Si 기판위에 증착하였다. Cat-CVD 제막압력을 변화시켜가며 증착된 PTFE 박막의 접촉각을 측정한 결과, 제막압력이 300 mTorr일 때 glass와 Si 기판위에 증착된 PTFE박막 표면에서의 접촉각은 각각 133, $117^{\circ}$였지만, 제막압력이 400 mTorr이상일 땐 $150^{\circ}$ 이상의 높은 접촉각을 갖는 초소수성 표면을 얻을 수 있었다.

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 $15mL\;min^{-1}$.

원전 운전 중 2차계통 구성재료가 부식되어 철 산화물이 증기발생기 내부로 유입된다. 유입된 철산화물은 고온고압의 환경에서 침적되어 슬러지가 된다. 침적된 슬러지는 증기발생기 전열관 재료에 응력부식균열(SCC)을 일으키는 주원인으로 원전에서는 철 산화물의 유입을 최소화하기 위해 기동전 2차계통을 순환 세정하고 있다. 해외 원전에서는 고분자 아크릴산(Polyacrylic Acid)을 순환세정시 주입함으로써 2차계통 철 산화물 제거 효율을 높인 사례가 있었다. 이에 우리 원전에서도 기동전 순환세정시 고분자 아크릴산을 주입 적용하였다. 고분자 아크릴산 주입 전 필수적으로 이뤄져야할 연구는 고분자 아크릴산이 재료에 미치는 영향평가이다. 본 연구에서는 고분자 아크릴산 농도(1, 10, 100 ppm)에 따라 2차계통 구성재료인 SA106 Gr.B와 Alloy 690의 건전성에 미치는 영향를 수행하였다. 평가방법으로는 전기화학 분극실험, 시편을 침지시켜 실험 전, 후 무게 감량을 이용한 부식률 측정, 표면 상태분석등을 이용하여 종합적으로 평가하였다. 전기화학 분극실험과 부식률 측정결과, 고분자 아크릴산 농도가 높을수록 부식은 증가하였고 고분자 아크릴산 농도 100 ppm일 때 최대 부식률이 0.037 mils로 계산되었다. 이는 부식허용 기준치(5.8 mils)보다는 100배이상 낮았으며 표면분석 결과 고분자 아크릴산으로 인한 pitting 부식은 발생하지 않았다. 이와 같은 결과로 기동시 환경에서 고분자 아크릴산 농도 100 ppm까지는 재료 건전성에 미치는 영향은 거의 없는 것으로 판단된다.

The relation between performance maintenance conditions and those cost efficiency was studied to choose an optimum operating condition in the seawater desalination pretreatment system. A hollow fiber microfiltration module, which was developed with domestic technology, was tested with the various operating conditions such as chemically enhanced backwash cycles and design dosages of a cleaning chemical. Transmembrane pressure was measured to investigate membrane fouling status and cleaning degree. In addition, economic analysis was performed to compare water production costs by the operation condition. As a result, The operation mode III, chemically enhanced backwash at once a day with 100 mg/L of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) was selected. The concurrent evaluation between membrane filtration performance and its economic analysis will be suitable to choose an efficient optimum condition.

자기애자는 전차선로 설비에서 가장 중요한 전기절연재료이지만, 내충격에 결함이 있고 파괴되기 쉽고, 무거워 취급에 어려움이 따른다. 이러한 자기애자의 단점을 해결하기 위하여 고분자 애자의 개발이 진행되어지고 있다. 그러나 고분자 애자의 경우 재질 특성상 자기 애자보다 분진의 부착이 쉽고 부착된 분진의 세척이 어려운 단점이 있어, 장기 사용 시 특성 변화가 우려된다. 본 연구에서는 TiO2 세라믹 타겟이 부착된 비대칭 마그네트론 스퍼터링 장치를 이용하여 TiO2 박막을 증착하였으며 증착되어진 TiO2 박막의 광촉매 특성과 트라이볼로지 특성을 고찰하였다. 광촉매 특성으로는 표면 접촉각 분석을 통하여 고찰하였으며, 트라이볼로지 특성으로는 경도, 잔류응력, 마찰계수, 표면 거칠기 등을 평가하였다. 또한 XRD, FESEM 분석 등 구조분석을 통하여 광촉매 특성과 트라이볼로지 특성등과의 연관성을 규명하였다.

Pilot scale study was carried out to produce Volatile Fatty Acids with primary sludge from municipal wastewater treatment plant. An acid fermenter was operated at pH 9, $35^{\circ}C$, SRT of 3.5-4.25d, using a final effluent as elutriating water(Mode-I) and pH 9, SRT 5d, temperature of $35^{\circ}C$(Mode-II), $55^{\circ}C$(Mode-III), using a primarily treated water as elutriating water. Although solubilization rate was enhanced with the increase of temperature, the VFAs production rate was decreased. The VS reduction was shown approximately 56%, and the sludge volume reduction was 93%. The optimal conditions for solubilization was obtained at pH 9, $35^{\circ}C$ and SRT of 5d.

This study examined the effect of an electrokinetic-flushing remediation for a soil of a high permeability. The soil was sampled from the site around a research atomic reactor which had high hydro-conductivities due to a high content of sand in the soil. The flow rate of the washing reagent was fast at the beginning but it was reduced as time lapsed. In the case of using citric acid as a washing reagent, the flow rate was fastest, 78.7 ml/day. The removal efficiencies of $Co^{2+}$ and $Cs^+$ from a soil cell with acetic acid were the highest, which were 95.2% and 84.2% respectively. The soil waste-solution volume generated from the electrokinetic remediation was reduced to about 1/20 of that from the soil washing remediation. Meanwhile, the electrokinetic-flushing method enhanced the removal efficiencies of $Co^{2+}$ and $Cs^+$ from the soil by about 6% and 2% respectively, compared to those by the electrokinetic method. Consequently, it was found that the electrokinetic-flushing method was more effective for the remediation of a soil with a high permeability.

Using four components - nonionic surfactants, water, hydrocarbon oil and an alcohol as cosurfactant, 12 types of cleaning agents were prepared, and their physical properties such as surface tension, viscosity, electroconductivity and phase stability were measured. As the formulated cleaning agents have low surface tensions(30.5-31.1 dyne/cm) and low viscosities (1.6-7.2 c.p.), they are satisfied with the general physical properties of water-in-oil(W/O) microemulsions for their industrial use. They showed a tendency that their temperature range for stable one-phase microemulsion decreased in accordance with the increase of alcohol/surfactant(A/S) ratio in the formulations. However, the temperature range of one-phase microemulsion was much more affected by hydrophilic lipophillic balance(HLB) value of the nonionic surfactant which increased its temperature range and it increased in accordance with the higher HLB value in the formulations. And the maximum content of water which can keep stable one-phase W/O microemulsion was measured at each sample. In addition, their temperature range for stable one-phase microemulsion was also measured. It was confirmed that the selection of surfactant type was very important for formulating a cleaning agent, since the W/O microemulsion system with the nonionic surfactant of the lower HLB value showed better cleaning efficacy that of the higher HLB value for abietic acid as a soil, which was used for preparing a rosin-type flux. In the formulated cleaning agents with the increase of A/S ratio in the formulations, however, there was no significant difference in cleaning efficacy. It was investigated that the differences of their cleaning efficacy was affected by the change of the condition of temperature and sonicating frequency as important factors in the industrial cleaning. That is, the higher, their cleaning temperature and the lower, their sonicating frequency, the more increased, their cleaning efficacy. Furthermore, using optical instruments like UV/Visable Spectrophotometer and FT-IR Spectrometer, their cleaning efficacy for abietic acid was measured. The removal of soil from the contaminated rinse water was measured by gravity separation method in the rinse bath. As a result, the cleaning agent system having the nonionic surfactant of HLB value 6.4 showed over 85% water-oil separation efficacy at over $25^{\circ}C$. Therefore, it was demonstrated in this work that the formulating cleaning agents were very effective for cleaning and economical in the possible introduction of water recycling system.
