A mesocosm experiment considering water exchange was conducted to evaluate the change in the properties of contaminated coastal sediment. The contaminated coastal sediment sample was prepared by mixing with granulated coal ash(GCA), which is an alkaline industrial by-product. During one month of observation time, the phosphate concentration of the GCA sample case was measured to be 19.0 and 0.4 mg/L lower than that of the control sample at the pore water and overlying water, respectively. The hydrogen sulfide concentration of the GCA sample case was 5.0 mg/L, which is significantly lower than that of the control sample(112.5 mg/L). Further addition of GCA in the sediment reduced the concentrations of phosphate and hydrogen sulfide, and could enhance the adsorption reaction, when compared to the sediment without GCA. The dissolved oxygen concentration in the overlying water of the GCA sample was measured to be 3.47 mg/L higher than the control sample. From the above results, we confirmed that GCA is an effective material for reducing pollutants in coastal sediment.

The global demand for carbon neutrality in response to climate change is in a situation where it is necessary to prepare countermeasures for carbon trade barriers for some countries, including Korea, which is classified as an export-led economic structure and greenhouse gas exporter. Therefore, digital transformation, which is one of the predictable ways for the carbon-neutral transition model to be applied, should be introduced early. By applying digital technology to industrial gas manufacturing facilities used in one of the major industries, high-tech manufacturing industry, and hydrogen gas facilities, which are emerging as eco-friendly energy, abnormal detection, and diagnosis services are provided with cloud-based predictive diagnosis monitoring technology including operating knowledge. Here are the trends. Small and medium-sized companies that are in the blind spot of carbon-neutral implementation by confirming the direction of abnormal diagnosis predictive monitoring through optimization, augmented reality technology, IoT and AI knowledge inference, etc., rather than simply monitoring real-time facility status It can be seen that it is possible to disseminate technologies such as consensus knowledge in the engineering domain and predictive diagnostic monitoring that match the economic feasibility and efficiency of the technology. It is hoped that it will be used as a way to seek countermeasures against carbon emission trade barriers based on the highest level of ICT technology.

단일벽 탄소나노튜브(Single-walled carbon nanotubes, SWNTs)는 나노 스케일의 크기와 우수한 물성을 갖고 있어, 전자, 에너지, 바이오 등 다양한 분야로의 응용이 기대되고 있다. 이러한 응용의 실현을 위해서는 경제적, 산업적인 면에서 보다 손쉬운 합성법이 요구된다. SWNTs의 합성에는 대면적의 균일한 CNTs를 합성할 수 있다는 장점이 있는 열화학기상증착법(Thermal chemical vapor deposition, TCVD)이 가장 일반적으로 사용되고 있다. 하지만 탄화수소가스를 효율적으로 분해하기 위하여 $900^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온공정이 요구되며, 이는 경제적, 산업적인 면에서 사용이 제한적이다. 따라서 저결함, 고수율의 SWNTs를 저온합성 할 수 있는 공정의 개발이 지속적으로 필요하다. 본 연구에서는, TCVD법을 이용하여 에틸렌 원료가스로 SWNTs의 저온합성 가능성을 확인하였다. 합성을 위한 기판과 촉매로는 실리콘 산화막 기판(SiO2/Si wafer)에 철 나노입자를 지닌 ferritin을 스핀코팅 후 산화하여 이용하였다. 저온합성 공정의 변수로는 합성온도와 원료가스인 에틸렌의 분율을 설정하여, 변수가 SWNTs의 결정성과 수율에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 합성된 SWNTs의 분석의 용이함과 손지기(Chirality)의 제어 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 나노 다공성 물질인 제올라이트(Zeolite)를 보조 기판으로 사용하였다. 실험결과 에틸렌 원료가스로 합성한 SWNTs는 메탄을 원료가스로 사용한 경우보다 낮은 $700^{\circ}C$ 부근에서도 합성이 가능함을 확인하였다. 또한 에틸렌의 분율과 합성 시간의 정밀한 제어를 통해 SWNTs의 합성온도를 더욱 감소시키는 것도 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

1차원 탄소나노재료이며 한 겹의 흑연을 말아 놓은 형태인 단일벽 탄소나노튜브(Single-walled carbon nanotubes, SWNTs)는 감긴 형태에 따라 반도체성, 금속성 성질을 나타내는 특이성과 우수한 기계적 성질을 지니고 있어 광범위한 분야로 응용이 기대되어왔다. 이러한 SWNTs의 응용가능성을 실현시키기 위해서는 보다 경제적, 산업적인 면에서 손쉬운 합성방법의 개발이 필요한 실정이다. SWNTs의 합성 방법들로는 아크방전법과 레이저 증발법, 그리고 열화학기상증착법(Thermal chemical vapor deposition, TCVD) 등이 이용되었다. 이 중 TCVD법은 대면적의 균일한 CNTs를 합성할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 그러나 탄화수소가스를 효율적으로 분해하기 위하여 $800^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온 공정이 요구되며, 이는 경제적, 산업적인 면에서 사용이 제한적이다. 따라서 저결함, 고수율의 SWNTs를 저온합성 할 수 있는 공정의 개발이 지속적으로 필요하다. 본 연구에서는, TCVD법을 이용하여 에틸렌 원료가스로 SWNTs의 저온합성 가능성을 확인하였다. 합성을 위한 기판과 촉매로는 실리콘 산화막 기판(SiO2/Si wafer)에 철 나노입자를 지닌 ferritin을 스핀코팅 후 산화하여 이용하였다. 저온합성 공정의 변수로는 합성온도와 원료가스인 에틸렌의 분율을 설정하여, 변수가 SWNTs의 결정성과 수율에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 합성된 SWNTs의 분석의 용이함과 손지기(Chirality)의 제어를 위하여 나노 다공성 물질인 제올라이트(Zeolite)를 보조 기판으로 사용하였다. 실험결과 에틸렌 원료가스로 합성한 SWNTs는 $700^{\circ}C$ 부근의 저온에서도 합성이 가능함을 확인하였다. 또한 에틸렌 원료가스의 분율과 합성시간의 정밀한 제어를 통해 SWNTs의 합성온도를 더욱 감소시키는 것도 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

DLC(Diamond Like Carbon)막은 그 물성의 다양함으로 인하여 산업기계, 금형, 공구, 광학 및 수송기기의 파워셀 부품등 많은 산업분야에 활용되고 있다. 일반적으로 DLC막은 증착에 사용되는 카본의 원료에 따라 크게 두 가지로 나눌 수 있는데, 이는 탄화 수소계 가스(CxHy)를 사용하여 증착된 a-C:H(amorphous Hydro-Carbon)과 고체 카본을 사용하는 a-C(amorphous Carbon)이다. 또한 a-C 중 진공 아크 공법으로 제작된 막(ta-C : tetrahedral amorphous-Carbon)은 다이아몬드 성분인 sp3의 분률이 높아, 그 경도는 40 - 85 GPa 이상이며, 무수소화로 500도 이상의 고온에서도 그 물성의 변화가 적어 그 활용도가 높아지고 있다. 하지만 높은 경도와 더불어 막의 잔류응력이 높아 3 um 이상 후막화하는 것은 어렵다. 이는 높은 잔류응력으로 인한 막의 증착시, 막 자체가 파손되거나, 기판과 막사이의 계면 밀착력이 약하여 박리되거나, 또는 높은 밀착력으로 인하여 모재가 파손되는 등 다양한 문제를 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 이 고경도 무수소 DLC막(ta-C)의 후막화하는 방안으로 주요 코팅 변수와 잔류응력과의 관계를 에너지 관점에서 파악하고 이를 활용 잔류응력을 제어하여 할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

This paper is analyzing the situation of the electric vehicle Industry and draw the policy implications to promote electric vehicle industry. Major automobile makers as GM, BMW, Nissan, Audi produce various electric vehicles. But in recent times, only few electric vehicle sold in the world. So, many automobile makers gave up the production of electric vehicles. and the fuel-cell vehicle will replace the electric vehicle as a environment car in the future. We should take the build up of eco system between vehicle makers and the small parts companies, construction of battery charging infrastructure, promotion of standardization activities, and the government's support to revive the electric vehicle industry.

Beta rays emitted from tritium in titanium tritide film were simulated with cathode rays of a scanning electron microscope to investigate the effect of beta rays from tritium on semiconductor devices. The cathode ray currents, which vary with the change of applied energy and beam spot size, were measured with Faraday cup. The current from the semiconductor device irradiated with cathode rays at various conditions was measured. The cathode ray current increased with the increase of spot size to a maximum then decreased when the spot sized increased further. The magnitude of current produced in the semiconductor device is proportional to the magnitude of cathode ray current. The magnitude of cathode ray current at each energy level was matched to the intensity of beta ray to simulate the tritium beta ray spectrum. Then the semiconductor characteristics were analyzed with I-V curves.

Hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$) is mainly produced along with methane and hydrocarbons in many gas fields as well as hydrodesulfurization processes of crude oils containing sulfur compounds and the emission of $H_2S$ has a considerable effect on both environmental problem and human health aspects due to formation of, e.g. acid rain and smog. In recent years, ionic liquids (ILs) have been proposed as the most promising solvents for $CO_2$ and hazardous pollutants capture, such as $H_2S$ and sulfur dioxide ($SO_2$). In this work, we demonstrate the use of the predictive COSMO-SAC model for the prediction of Henry's law constant of $H_2S$ in ILs. Furthermore, the method is used to screen for potential IL candidates for $H_2S$ capture from a set of 2,624 ILs formed from 82 cations and 32 anions. The effects of cation on the Henry's law constant of $H_2S$ such as (i) the variation of the alkyl chain length on cation, (ii) the substituent of methyl group ($-CH_3$) for H in C(2) position and (iii) the change of ring structure for cation family are clearly predicted by COSMO-SAC model.

To test a flameproof enclosure for the safety certificate, a reference pressure of explosion needs to be determined. However, the explosion pressure may be changed according to relative humidity of explosive gases. Therefore, the guideline on relative humidity should be recommended for measuring the explosion pressure for accurate and reproducible testings. This study examined the relationship of explosion pressure with relative humidity of hydrogen (31 vol %)-air and acetylene (14 vol %)-air mixture gases. The explosion pressures were measured by increasing the relative humidity of the gases by 10 % from dry state to 80 % in a cylindrical explosion enclosure of 2.3 L. on ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure (1 atm). The maximum explosive pressures were remained almost constant until the relative humidity reached 10 % for the hydrogen-air mixture and 20 % for the acetylene-air mixture. However, the maximum explosive pressures linearly decreased as the relative humidity increased. Based on the results of the study, it would be recommended to use 10 % relative humidity for the hydrogen-air mixture and 20 % for the acetylene-air mixture as the critical value in testing a flameproof enclosure.
