Reaction-Bonded Silicon Carbide (RBSC) Ceramics were fabricated which satisfies the maximum packing density of silicon carbide skeleton in the green compacts. Such a high packing density induced incomplete infiltration during reaction-sintering; forms linear void around the interface of large alpha silicon carbide powders. During reaction-sintering, the limited extraction and entrapped gas induced by residue oxide was considered to be a reason of linear void formation. In order to improve infiltration behavior in the highly packed preform, the pre-treatment methods for residue oxide removal were proposed.

The objective of this study was to depict the kinetic behavior of the platinum catalyst for the deep oxidation of VOCs and their mixture. The oxidation characteristics of VOCs, which were benzene, toluene, and styrene, was studies on a 0.5% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst. The reactivity increases in order benzene>toluene>styrene. In mixtures, remarkable effects on reaction rate and selectivity have been evident ; the strongest inhibiting effect was shown by styrene and increases in a reverse order with respect to that of reactivity. The reaction model reveals that there is a competition between the two reactants for the oxidized catalyst. Thus, the nontoxic catalytic oxidation process was suggested as the new VOCs control technology.

The characteristics of soot near the soot inception point for an ethene-air flame was carried out in a WSR (well-stirred reactor). The new sampling tool like the temperature controlled filter system was introduced to minimize the condensation during sampling. The new analysis tools applied include the real time size distribution analysis with the Nano-DMA, particle size by transmission electron microscopy, C/H analysis, g filter analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis using both non-oxidative and oxidative pyrolysis. The WSR can generate young soot particles that can be collected and examined to gain insight into inception. For the current conditions, soot does not form for ${\Phi}=1.9$, inception occurs at or before ${\Phi}=2.0$, and inception combined with soot surface growth and/or coagulation occurs for ${\Phi=2.1}$. The filter samples for ${\Phi}$=1.9 are composed of volatile compounds that evolve at relatively low temperatures when heated in the presence or absence of $O_2$. The samples collected from the WSR at ${\Phi}=2.0$ and ${\Phi}=2.1$ are precursor-like in morphology and size. They have higher C/H ratios and lower organic percentages than precursor particles, but they are clearly not fully carbonized soot. The WSR PAH distribution is similar to that in young soot from inverse flames.

Vacuum Residue (VR) combustion tests were carried out with a 20 kg/hr (fuel feed rate) small scale reactor. The nozzle used was a steam atomized, internal mixing type. Compared to heavy oil, vacuum residue used in this work is extremely high viscous and contains high percentages of sulfur, carbon residue and heavy metals. To ignite atomized VR particles, it was necessary to preheat the reactor, and it has been done with LP gas. The axial and radial gas temperature, major species concentrations and solid sample were analyzed when varying the fuel feed rate. The main reaction zone of atomized VR-air flame in a reactor was anticipated within about 1 m from the burner tip by considering the profiles oi gas temperature, species concentration and particle size measured along with the reactor. At downstream, the thermally, fully developed temperature distribution was obtained. SEM photographs revealed that VR carbon particles collected from the reactor are porous and have many blow-holes on the particle surface.

Fenton's reagent is applied to directly decompose the ion-exchange resins, IRN-78 and the mixed resin with IRN-77. The newly applied procedures is to dry the resin first and the catalyst solution is completely absorbed into the resin, then a limited dose of $H_2O_2$ is introduced for an effective reaction between the reagents within the resin. As a characteristic on the decomposition of IRN-78, the resin mixture should be heated to $40^{\circ}C$ to induce the initial reaction and lag time is also needed for about 20 minutes until the main reaction occurs. The effectiveness of the decomposition is investigated using $CuSO_4,\;Cu(NO_3)_2\;and\;FeSO_4$ as a catalyst and the decomposition rate is compared depending on the concentration of each catalyst and the amount of $H_2O_2$. The most effective catalyst was found to be $FeSO_4$ for IRN-78 alone and the mixed resin with IRN-77, and $FeSO_4$ showed a special effect that the reaction was initiated without heating and a lag time. Furthermore, the optimum concentration of the catalyst for each resin and the mixed one is suggested in the view point of the amount of $H_2O_2$ needed and the stability of the decomposition reaction.

Enzymatic hydrolysis of insoluble cellulose was performed in a bubble column with tangential flow ulrafiltration membrane unit. The reactor was operated in a batch mode as well as semi-continuous and continuous with continuous removal of products through the tangential flow ultrafiltration membrane. The optimum superficial gas velocity was 1-3cm / sec so as to avoid bubble coalescence and enzyme denaturation. In continuous and selni-cotinuous process, the conversion was gradually increased but the total reduced sugar concentration was drcastically dereased with the dilution rate. It was concluded that the bubble column attaching tangential flow ultrafiltration membrane unit was effective on continuous hydrolysis of cellulose and recovery of enzyme.

Three candidate processes(ozone alone, UV alone and ozone/UV combined processes) were evaluated for the removal of diethyl phthalate(DEP). Of the candidates, the ozone/UV process showed the highest removal efficiency of DEP. To elucidate a major oxidant for DEP oxidation in the ozone/UV process, the effects of pH and hydroxyl radical($OH^{\circ}$) scavenger were investigated. As a result, it was found that $OH^{\circ}$ plays a important role for DEP elimination. Meanwhile, the direct reaction between ozone and DEP was negligible. Observing the pseudo first-order rate of DEP removal in ozone alone and ozone/UV processes, the different pattern was obtained from two processes. The ozone/UV process was well plotted following the pseudo first-order. but in the ozone alone process the rate was divided into fast and slow phases. DEP degradation characteristics in ozone alone and ozone/UV was also investigated by observing the HPLC spectrum. We detected unknown compounds that were guessed to DEP byproducts and observed the formation and disappearance of the unknown compounds according to reaction time. Observing of high removal of TOC in ozone/UV combined process, it was found that DEP and DEP byproducts are completely oxidized by ozone/UV combined process.

Introduction : Recently, water and environmental pollution becomes serious social problem and high technology makes this pollution accelerate. Hydrogen sulfide, the main subject of our research, is one of the most dangerous air pollutant like SO$_x$ and NO$_x$. The major contaminant in coal gasification is H$_2$S, which is very toxic, hazardous and extremely corrosive. Therefore, control of hydrogen sulfide to a safe level is essential. Although commercial desulfurization process called liquid scrubbing is effective for removal of H$_2$S, it has drawbacks, the loss of sensible heat of the gas and costly wastewater treatment. Many investigations are carried out about high-temperature removal ol H$_2$S in hot coal-derived gas using metal oxide or mixed metal qxide sorbents. It was reported that ZnO was very effective sorbent for H2S removal, but it has big flaw to vaporize elemental zinc above 600\ulcorner \ulcorner As alternative, metal oxides such as CaO, $Fe_2O_3$, TiO$_2$ and CuO were added to ZnO. Especially, different results are reported for $Fe_2O_3$ additive. Tamhankar et al. reported SiO$_2$ with 45 wt% $Fe_2O_3$ sorbent is favorable for removal of H$_2$S and regeneration.

Bacterial degradation of 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) was studied in column reactors under conditions approximating a fluidized bed system, with granular activated carbon (GAC) as a support matrix. A mixed bacterial culture of MCPA-degrading bacteria was used as an inoculum to develop a biofilm on GAC. Initially, adsorption of MCPA by GAC and blofilm formation on GAC were examined. MCPA degradation was evaluated with a batch and continuous mode of operation of the GAC fixed-film column reactors. In the batch operations, complete degradation of MCPA was achieved during the incubation period. Partial degradation of MCPA occurred in the continuous operations and MCPA degradation was dependent on the feeding rate of MCPA solution.

연소반응을 가지는 후류(wake)는 가스터빈 연소실의 flame holder 등에서 발생한다. 후류유동의 안정성 혹은 불안정성은 이러한 유동에 있어서 많은 영향을 끼치므로 상당히 중요하다. 본 연구는 위와 같이 연소 반응에 의한 밀도구배를 가지는 후류유동에 대하여 불안정성 해석을 수행하였다. 교란에 대한 지배방정식은 Navier-Stokes 방정식에서 점성항을 제외한 Euler 방정식을 고려하였다. 충류유동의 압력은 일정하다고 가정하였다. 교란 방정식을 유도하기 위하여 충류 유동이 평행하여 유동 방향에 수직한 방향의 구배만이 존재한다고 가정하였다. 모든 변수들은 충류 유동의 값과 움직이는 파장의 형태를 가지는 작은 교란의 합으로 생각하여 압력에 대한 교란방정식을 구하며, shooting법과 Newton-Raphson법에 근거를 두는 반복법을 사용하여 풀었다. 불안정성 해석을 수행하는 기본 유동의 속도장 및 온도장은 불안정성 해석을 수행하는 기본 유동의 속도장 및 온도장은 비압축성의 경우 우선 Gaussian Profile 가정함과 동시에 연소반응을 포함하는 유동장을 보다 정확히 구하기 위하여 Navier-Stokes 방정식으로부터 구한 결과를 사용하였다. 연소반응을 포함하는 유동장을 구할 때에는 해석상 편의를 위해 예혼합물질은 이상기체로, 화학반응은 1단계의 비가역반응으로 가정하였으며, 반응열로 인한 부력의 효과는 무시하였다. 위와 같은 유동장을 가지고 불안정성 해석을 수행한 결과 후류유동은 두 개의 변곡점을 가지며 sinuous 모드와 varicose모드의 두 개의 불안정성 모드가 있음을 보였다. 밀도 변화가 있는 경우나 밀도 변화가 없는 경우 모두 sinuous 모드의 가장 불안정한 모드가 varicose 모드의 가장 불안정한 모드보다 더 불안정함을 보여주어 후류 유동은 자유 유동에 가까운 위상 속도를 가지는 sinuous 모드에 의해 지배될 것임을 예측할 수 있다. 연소반응이 완전연소에 가까울수록 그리고 압축성 효과가 클수록 유동내부의 온도가 증가하고 점성 또한 증가하여 후류유동은 안정됨을 알 수 있었다 유동변수들의 contour로부터 유동의 특성을 예측한 결과 baroclinic 항이 dilatational 항보다 상대적으로 크며, 중심선 상하에 생기는 vortex를 더욱 성장시킬 것으로 생각된다.
