FET-type dissolved oxygen sensor has the Pt working electrode around the pH-ISFET. Appling a voltage to the working electrode, the hydrogen ion which is proportional to the dissolved oxygen concentration occurs around the pH sensing gate and we can measure the dissolved oxygen concentration by detecting pH concentration through the pH-ISFET. In this paper, a dissolved oxygen measurement system using FET-type dissolved oxygen sensor array which adopt a specific algorithm to enhance the reliability has been developed and we compared its performance with the commercial dissolved oxygen measurement system.

DLC막은 여러가지 기술적인 응용에 매우 기대된느 재료이다. 탄화수소 가스의 플라즈마 분해에 의해 증착되는 DLC 막은 높은 경도, 화학적 안정성, 높은 전기 저항성, 적외선 영역의 투과성 등의 여러가지 우수한 성질을 지니고 있다. 그러나 이들막은 높은 내부응력으로 인하여 실제 응용에 상당한 제약을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 rf PECVD 법에 의해 합성된 다이아몬드상 탄소막을 보조가스 첨가에 따른 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 수소가스를 첨가하여 합성된 DLC막의 잔류응력 거동은 낮은 이온 에너지 (V$_{b}$ $P^{1}$2/-20Volt/m Torr)에서 최대 잔류응력이 발생되지만, 질소 가스를 첨가시키면 높은 이온(V$_{b}$ P$_{1}$2/->70Volt/m Torr)에너지 영역에서 잔류응력의 감소가 나타났다. 수소 량이 증가하면 ion bombardment와 식각 작용을 하고, 질소의 경우 막의 표면 스퍼터링 현상이 발생되었다. 보조가스 첨가에 따라 S$P^{3}$net work구조의 생성과 소멸의 결합 구조를 형성하여, 보조가스 첨가는 DLC막의 잔류응력 거동에 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이온 에너지에 따른막의 비저항은 막 합성 공정 조건에 관계없이 $10^{6}$-$10^{7}$ Ωm 의 범위에서 분포하고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 이는 메탄가스(rf PECVD)로 합성된 DLC막의 비저항과 거의 일치하는 것으로 나타났다.

The electrochemical reduction of uranyl ion in aqueous basic media has been examined by d. c. polarography, differential pulsed polarography and cyclic voltammetry. From voltammograms obtained in uranyl solutions containing 0.1M sodium bicarbonate, either with or without the same amounts of sodium tripolyphosphate it is concluded that the first wave corresponds to the reduction of $UO_2^{2+}$ to $UO_2^+$. It is assumed that the uranyl ion undergoes appreciable hydrolysis in these media. The hydrolysis product $UO_2OH^+$ from $UO_2^{2+}$ is not reduced at the first wave, but is reduced at the second wave together with $UO_2^+$. The diffusion current was found proportional to the uranyl concentration in a range between $7.5 {\times} 10^{-4}$ and $3.75 {\times}10^{-3}$M.

Glucosidic bond at the $C_{20}$ position of the sapogenins was hydrolyzed easily in the lower pH, higher temperature and longer time to give prosapogenins and sugars. The glucosidic bond of saponin at the $C_3\;of\; ginsenoside-Rb_1\;$, which is secondary carbon, was relatively stable due to the low electron density of -0.2. But the bond of saponin at the $C_{20}$ position, which is tertiary carbon with the relatively high electron density of -0.3, was liable to be hydrolyzed even in weak acidic solution by the increase of heating time. On the other hand, fresh and white ginseng contained 4.12 mg/g, 13.05 mg/g of citric acid, 0.68 mg/g, 2.18 mg/g of malonic acid, 1.13 mg/g, 3.68 mg/g of oxalic acid, 2.68 mg/g, 8.62 mg/g of malic acid and 0.13 mg/g, 0.46 mg/g of succinic acid, respectively. Ginseng saponins were very stable in ginseng extract neutralized with sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate corresponding to the equivalent amount of the total organic acid in the ginseng.

투어멀린(Tourmaline)은 비대칭 쌍극자를 가진 유극성 결정체로 광물 중에서 영구적으로 전기분극 특성을 띄고 있는 유일한 물질로써, 일명 "전기석"이라고 알려져 있다. 자체의 미약 전류(약 0,06mA)와 함께 음이온 및 원적외선의 발생으로 최근 우리 주변에서 건강과 환경정화를 위한 관심 대상의 투어멀린은 육방정계의 압전성 및 초전성을 띄는 붕규산염으로, 물분자를 만나면 수소($H^+$)와 수산기($OH^-$)로 분해하여 친수기와 소수기를 구분하여 발생하며, $H^+$와 $OH^-$는 각각 $H_2O$와 결합하여 활성이 강한 hydronium ion($H_3O^+$)과 계면활성 작용이 있는 hydroxyl ion($H_3O_2^-$)을 생성한다. 물속에서 불안정한 상태로 존재하는 수산기는 hydroxyl (-)ion을 형성하여 약 알카리성($pH{\sim}7.4$)을 띄고, 물의 클러스터(cluster)를 세분화하는 수질개선 기능과 함께 살균, 항균 및 세균번식억제 효과를 갖는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 투어멀린 소결체를 활용하여 그 처리수의 특성조사 및 기능개발과 함께 대장균의 번식억제 작용 및 살균작용과 수질개선 기능 등 유용한 결과의 분석으로부터 다양한 응용성을 확보하였다.

A biosensor including the homogenized tissue of mugwort embedded in carbon paste, which senses hydrogen peroxide, was constructed and its electrochemical properties were validated using voltammetry. The good linearity of Hanes-Woolf plot implied that the reduction reaction of substrate was catalyzed by mugwort peroxidase at the electrode surface. Also the small value of symmetry factor, 0.28, indicated that electrochemical kinetics of the sensor is very sensitive to the change of electrode potential. Many experimental results collected above proved that the dissociation of hydrogen peroxide is dependent on the catalytic power of mugwort peroxidase qualitatively and quantitatively at the surface of the mugwort electrode. It is our firm belief that the marketed HRP can be replaced with mugwort tissue.

The effects of electrolytes were investigated on the removal efficiency when several different electrolytes were used to change the electrode reaction in an electrokinetic (EK)-Fenton process to remediate phenanthrene-contaminated soil. Electrical potential gradient decreased initially due to the ion entrance into soil and then increased due to the ion extraction from soil under the electric field. Accumulated electroosmotic flow was $NaCl>KH_2PO_4>MgSO_4$ at the same concentration because the ionic strength of $MgSO_4$ was the highest and $Mg(OH)_2$ formed near the cathode reservoir plugged up soil pore to inhibit water flow. When hydrogen peroxide was contained in electrolyte solution, removal efficiency increased by Fenton reaction. When NaCl was used as an electrolyte compound, chlorine ($Cl_2$) was generated at the anode and dissolved to form hypochlorous acid (HClO), which increased phenanthrene removal. Therefore, the electrode reaction of electrolyte in the anode reservoir as well as its transport into soil should be considered to improve removal efficiency of EK-Fenton process.

In this paper we are trying to explain the effect of temperature on polymer membrane exchange water electrolysis (PEMWE) and polymer membrane exchange fuel cell (PEMFC) simultaneously. A comprehensive studying approach is proposed and applied to a 50Watt PEM fuel cell system in the laboratory. The monitoring process is carried out through wireless LoRa node and gateway network concept. In this experiment, temperature sensor measure the temperature level of electrolyzer, fuel cell stack and $H_2$ storage tank and transmitted the measured value of data to the management control unit (MCU) through the individual node and gateway of each PEMWE and PEMFC. In MCU we can monitor the temperature and its effect on the performance of the fuel cell system and control it to keep the lower heating value to increase the efficiency of the fuel cell system. And we also proposed a mathematical model and operation algorithm for PEMWE and PEMFC. In this model, PEMWE gives higher efficiency at lower heating level where as PEMFC gives higher efficiency at higher heating value. In order to increase the performance of the fuel cell system, we are going to monitor, communicate and control the temperature and pressure of PEMWE and PEMFC by installing these systems in a building of university which is located in the southern part of Korea.

Recovery of silver in the spent solution generated from MEO(Mediated Electrochemical Oxidation) process, which is a process to decompose radioactive organic mixed wastes at low temperature, was performed using chemical method. Silver nitrate in 5M nitric acid solution could be completely recovered as AgCl by using 1% excess of the stoichiometric HCl equivalents. Then, AgCl was transformed to Ag metal by reduction reaction with hydrogen peroxide under alkaline media. The optimum pH for the reduction to silver metal was found to be in the range of 12.8∼13.0.

The performance of catalysts for the recombination of oxyhydrogen gas was measured and compared with the results obtained from theoretical model. The oxyhydrogen gas was generated by the electrolysis cell and recombined through the fixed bed catalytic reactor. The yield that is the ratio of water-amount produced to the water-amount consumed in the electrolysis cell was increased with the increase of KOH concentration in electrolysis cell and the applied current. The catalyst 1 showed the best performance and the yield was under 60 %. The faradic yield calculated by Faraday's law showed about 100% in maximum with catalyst 1. The production rate of water generated by the recombination was 5-40 g/day dependent on the flow rate of mixed gas. Considering the results calculated from the pseudo-homogeneous catalytic reactor model, the hot point inside the reactor was moved to the direction of outlet and the maximum temperatures were $440-480^{\circ}K$ when the gas flow rate increased. The production rate of water calculated from the theoretical model showed good agreement with experimental results below the flow rate of $0.5cm^3/sec$, but there were much differences above that flow rate.
