세라믹막을 이용한 oil 폐수 처리의 기초 연구로서 정밀여과용 세라믹막의 제조와 oil(kerosene)-in-water 타입 에멀젼에 대한 막분리 효율이 연구되었다. 정밀여과 막으로서는 압출(extrusion)법으로 성형하여 제조한 $\alpha$-알루미나 튜브(평균 기공크기 0.9 $\mum$)와 이들 튜브(담체)내부에 $ZrO_2$ 또는 $Al_2O_3$ 다공성 박막을 코팅한 2층 구조의 복합막들을 사용하였다. 담체의 높은 투과율 ($1700 l/m^2\cdot h$ at $\Deltap = 1$ atm)을 어느정도 유지하면서 막분리 효율을 증대시킬 수 있는 새로운 슬러리 코팅법이 개발되엇으며, 코팅후 950-1300$\circ$C 에서 열처리한 코팅층의 두께와 평균 기공크기는 각각 5 - 20 $\mum$정도 이었다. 정밀여과막의 특성평가를 위하여 막 제조조건에 따른 코팅층의 두께 및 결함유무를 SEM으로 일단 관찰한 후에 Bubble Point Test와 Mercury Porosimeter를 이용하여 측정한 최대 및 평균 기공반경과 물의 투과량으로부터 막 전체에 대한 결함 유무와 결함의 허용한도등을 비교 분석하였다.

산업의 발달로 인하여 자원재활용의 문제와 환경 오염 방지와 더불어 에너지 절약에 대한 중요성이 확대되면서 분리 고정을 이용한 환경 오염 방지 및 에너지 절약에 대한 관심이 확대되었다. 세라믹 필터는 열악한 환경에서의 적용 그리고 에너지 소모가 적은 장점을 가지고 있다. 여러종류의 재료들 중에서 기공의 제어가 용이한 알루미나 여과막은 보에하미트(${\gamma}$-AlOOH) 분말과 금속 알콕사이드(ATSB, aluminum tri-sec butoxide)를 사용하여 간단하게 제조할 수 있다. 알루미나는 열처리 론도에 따라 $\alpha$-A1$_2$O$_3$ 결정상 뿐만 아니라 몇 가지 준안정한 결정구조를 가진다. 보에마이트(${\gamma}$-AlOOH)는 45$0^{\circ}C$ 근처에서 미세한 기공을 가진 ${\gamma}$-A1$_2$O$_3$로 상전이 되는 것으로 알려져 있고, 120$0^{\circ}C$보다 낮은 온도에서 열처리하게 되면 미세구조의 변화는 일어나지 않고 약간의 입자 성장만을 수반하는 $\delta$-A1$_2$O$_3$ 또는 $\theta$-A1$_2$O$_3$으로 상전이가 일어난다. $\alpha$-A1$_2$O$_3$로의 상전이는 기공 크기의 변화와 vermicular구조를 가지는 비정상적인 입자성장을 수반하게 된다. 여과막은 기공크기와 분포를 제어하는 것이 매우 중요하므로, 상전이와 미세구조의 변화를 이해하는 것은 중요하다.

In this study, we developed an evaporation-driven self-assembly coating method for an ceramic intermediate layer on an ultrapermeable ��-Al2O3 support with large pore size of ~1.5 ㎛. The method led to the formation of a ceramic intermediate layer with higher surface homogeneity and less surface roughness than the conventional dip-coating method. A mesoporous ��-Al2O3 layer was deposited on the support to evaluate support quality. A supported ��-Al2O3 membrane was defect-free even without repeated coating. Furthermore, the membrane showed 2.3 times higher nitrogen permeance than one prepared on a macroporous support with pore size range of 100~200 nm, which is widely used for ceramic membrane coating.

In this study periodic water-back-flushing using permeate water was performed to minimize membrane fouling and to enhance permeate flux in advanced water treatment by tubular ceramic ultrafiltration membrane for Gongji stream in Chuncheon city. The back-flushing period (FT, filtration time) 2 min with periodic water-back-flushing of 15 sec showed the highest value of dimensionless permeate flux (permeate flux vs. initial permeate flux), and the lowest value of resistance of membrane fouling. Also in the results of BT effect at fixed FT 10 min, BT (back-flushing time) 20 sec showed the lowest value of resistance of membrane fouling and the highest value of dimensionless permeate flux, and we could be obtained the highest total permeate volume of 107.3 L. Consequently FT 10 min and BT 20 sec could be the optimal condition in Gongji stream water treatment, which was the exactly same results of our previous tubular alumina microfiltration. Then the average rejection rates of pollutants by our tubular ceramic UF system were 97.0% for turbidity, 32.1 % for chemical oxygen demand by manganese method, 28.8% for ammoniac nitrogen and 54.4% for T-P.

In this study, unsintered, presintered and full-sintered low purity alumina ceramics were machined with various tools to clarify the machinability and the optimum cutting conditions. The main conclusions obtained were as follows. (1) Machined with alloy steel tool, the machinability of the presintered ceramics becomes better with the decrease of presintering temperature, but that of unsintered ceramics(white body) was extremely poor. (2) In the case of carbide, K01, the tool life in machining the white body was the longest, and the machinability of presintered ceramics becomes poorer with the increase of the presintering temperature. (3) The K01 tools exhibit longer life than the P10 tools in machining both the white body and the ceramics presintered at $1450^\circC$ or higher temperatures, but the P10 tools shows longer tool life than the K10 tools in machining of the ceramics presintered at temperatures below $1450^\circC$.

The 3D printing process provides a higher degree of freedom when designing ceramic parts than the conventional press forming process. However, the generation and growth of the microcracks induced during heat treatment is thought to be due to the occurrence of local tensile stress caused by the thermal decomposition of the binder inside the green body. In this study, an alumina columnar specimen, which is a representative ceramic material, is fabricated using the digital light process (DLP) 3D printing method. DTG analysis is performed to investigate the cause of the occurrence of microcracks by analyzing the debinding process in which microcracks are mainly generated. HDDA of epoxy acrylates, which is the main binder, rapidly debinded in the range of 200 to 500℃, and microcracks are observed because of real-time microscopic image observation. For mitigating the rapid debinding process of HDDA, other types of acrylates PETA, PUA, and MMA are added, and the effect of these additives on the debinding rate is investigated. By analyzing the DTG in the 25 to 300℃ region, it is confirmed that the PETA monomer and the PUA monomer can suppress the rapid decomposition rate of HDDA in this temperature range.

In this study, a process is developed for 3D printing with alumina ($Al_2O_3$). First, a photocurable slurry made from nanoparticle $Al_2O_3$ powder is mixed with hexanediol diacrylate binder and phenylbis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) phosphine oxide photoinitiator. The optimum solid content of $Al_2O_3$ is determined by measuring the rheological properties of the slurry. Then, green bodies of $Al_2O_3$ with different photoinitiator contents and UV exposure times are fabricated with a digital light processing (DLP) 3D printer. The dimensional accuracy of the printed $Al_2O_3$ green bodies and the number of defects are evaluated by carefully measuring the samples and imaging them with a scanning electron microscope. The optimum photoinitiator content and exposure time are 0.5 wt% and 0.8 s, respectively. These results show that $Al_2O_3$ products of various sizes and shapes can be fabricated by DLP 3D printing.

For machine learning techniques, a large amount of high-quality material property data should be accumulated. In this study, several data for an alumina tape casting process were produced with the variables of slurry viscosity, gap size, and coating speed. The alumina tapes were manufactured in the range of 1,000~6,000 cps for slurry viscosity, $300{\sim}1,000{\mu}m$ for gap size, and 0.5~2.0 m/min for coating speed. As a result, the lower the viscosity, coating speed, and gap size, the more pore-free tapes could be manufactured. The viscosity of the slurry limited the minimum thickness of the tape. Green sheets with high packing density were manufactured from the slurry of 100~6,000 cps slurry viscosity, coating speed of 0.5 m/min, and a $300{\sim}500{\mu}m$ gap size.

Separation of oily wastewater, which is a byproduct of various industries such as petroleum refineries, is essential to not exceed the tolerance limit of wastewater streams. Ceramic membranes show potential in oily wastewater separation, due to their excellent oil removal efficiency, good chemical, thermal, and mechanical stability, and simple operation. However, widespread application of ceramic membranes is limited due to high material cost of alumina, silica, and other ceramic based materials used to fabricate them. Recent efforts to reduce material cost have been made, using fly ash and clay. This review examines the fabrication and efficiency of ceramic membranes in oily wastewater separation according to material: silica, alumina, and waste ash.

To enhance the strength and formability of MCFC matrixes, alumina/${\gamma}$-LiAlO2 fiber-reinforced ${\gamma}$-LiAlO2 ma-trixes have been investigated. The MCFC matrixes with the thickness of 500~600 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were prepared by tape-casting of the slurry containing 10~30wt% fibers, followed by heat-treating up to $650^{\circ}C$. The porosity of fi-ber-reinforced matrixes decreased with the content of fibers, while the appropriate porosity(50~60%) for MCFC matrixes could be attained by adding larger ${\gamma}$-LiAlO2 particles with the diameter of about 50${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ up to 50 wt%. The optimum length and content of the alumina fiber, both in the alignment of fibers and the enhancement of the strength, were found to be below 250${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 20 wt%, respectively. On the other hand, the strength(156 gf/$\textrm{mm}^2$) of the ${\gamma}$-LiAlO2 matrix reinforced with ${\gamma}$-LiAlO2 fibers prepared in this study was improved by 20~40% in comparison with the alumina-fiber-reinforced matrix. It was also found that the alu-mina-fiber-reinforced matrix was completely corroded in molten carbonates but the ${\gamma}$-LiAlO2 was not.
