본 연구는 대표적인 지하수 오염물 제거공정 중 하나인 양수처리 시스템 pumping-and-Treatment System, PTS)에 대하여 실제에 가까운 불균일한 토양구조에서 모사하기 위하여 수행되었다. 즉, 지하의 불포화지대에 유출된 오염물로서 고밀도 비수상액체 (denser-than-water non-aqueous phase liquids, DNAPLs)와 저밀도 비수상액체 (lighter-than-water non-aqueous phase liquids, LNAPLs)가 지하수의 계면 및 그 아래에서 안정하게 분포하고 있을 때, PTS 공정의 모사를 통하여 그 타당성을 조사하였다. 이때 DNAPL과 LNAPL은 각각 1,1-dichloroacetone와 n-hexane로 가정하였다. 대상토양은 불균일한 토양층과 부분적인 지하수 흐름을 가지는 2차원 토양구조로 가정하였고, 포화지대에 1 개의 well을 설치하여 펌핑을 시작한 후 시간에 따른 지하수면의 변화와 오염물이 제거되는 정도를 계산하였다. 본 연구에서 SIMPLEC 알고리즘을 이용한 유한체적법에 의하여 비정상상태 모사를 수행한 결과, LNAPL뿐 아니라 DNAPL도 지하수면과 만나는 초기단계의 경우 즉시 지하수면 아래로 가라앉지 않고 지하수면을 따라 퍼지게 되므로 펌핑에 의한 제거가 가능한 것으로 판단되었다. 펌핑을 시작한 후 약 5일 동안은 DNAPL과 LNAPL의 경우 모두 두드러진 제거효과가 나타나지 않았으나, 일단 지하수면의 모양이 원뿔 모양으로 변형되고 나서 급속히 체거효율이 높아졌다. 특히 DNAPL의 경우 중력의 영향을 더 크게 받아서 well주위의 움푹 들어간 지하수면을 따라 이동하며 LNAPL보다 더 빠른 속도로 제거가 이루어졌다. 본 연구의 결과에 나타난 지하수면의 형태적 변화는 상대압력으로 -0.5기압이라는 비교적 큰 음압과, 1m의 비교적 큰 well의 지름을 가정하였기 때문에 다소 과장된 것으로 보인다. 그러나, 본 연구를 통하여 오염물의 물성에 따른 PTS공정의 효율을 비교할 수 있었고, 지하수면의 형태적 변화를 유발하여 정화효율을 증가시킬 수 있음을 제시하였다.

숙신산은 의약품, 식품 첨가물, 청정용매와 같은 종래의 응용 이외에도 생분해성 고분자의 중요한 전구물질로 주목 받고 있다. 그러나 최근 화석 연료의 높은 가격과 화석 원료 유래 제품의 전주기에 걸친 온실가스 배출로 인해 재생 가능한 바이오매스에 의한 숙신산의 생물학적 생산에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 숙신산의 선택적인 추출과 농축을 동시에 수행할 수 있는 공정으로서 이미다졸계 이온성 액체/$K_2HPO_4$에 의한 수상이성분계를 적용하였다. 실험 결과 숙신산에 존재하는 $K_2HPO_4$ 수용액에 적정량의 이미다졸계 이온성 액체가 첨가됨에 따라 안정한 수상이성분계가 형성됨을 확인할 수 있었으며 수상이성분계 형성 능력은 [HMIm][Br]${\fallingdotseq}$[OMIm][Br]>[BMIm][Br]>[EMImBr]의 순서로 나타났다. 숙신산의 최대 추출 효율은 약 90%였으며 이온성 액체에서 양이온 사슬길이가 증가할수록 상부상으로 동반 추출되는 물의 양이 줄어들어 숙신산의 선택적 농축효과가 크게 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서 사용된 이미다졸계 이온성 액체와 $K_2HPO_4$으로 구성된 수상이성분계는 숙신산의 선택적 추출과 농축에 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

The process variables for the manufacture of translucent microemulsion prepared with 2-octyl dodecanol, 12-hydroxy stearic acid cholesteryl , POE(40)HCO and 1,3-butandiol were examined initially (primary emulsion) and following aging for three months. The techniques empolyed in this study were particle size, turbidity, interfacial tension and microfluidizer. Particle size analysis and turbidity measurement to evaluate the emulsion stability were used. It was concluded that the process of the emulsification was an important indicator of the stability of the translucent microemulsion. From the particle size and and turbidity measurement of translucent microemulsion, adding the surfactant to the oil phase before the emulsification was found to be the most important factor for the stability of emulsions. We found that interfacial tension of the adding the surfactant to the oil phase is lower than that of the adding the surfactant to aqueous phase. In spite of hydrophilic surfactant, adding the surfactant to aqueous phase produced inferior emulsion to that to oil phase.

A series of PLA-PEO-PLA triblock stereo-copolymers with varying PLA/PEO and L-DL-LA ratios were synthesized via ring opening pelymerizations. Aqueous solutions of these copolymers undergo thermo-responsive phase transitions as the temperature monotonically increases. Further study shows that there is a critical gel concentration (CGC), and also lower and upper critical gel temperatures (CGTs), at which the thermo-responsive phase transition occurs. The CGC and CGTs are affected by various factors such as block length, as well as the compositions of the PLA blocks and of the additives. In particular, the changes in the phase diagram produced by varying the L-/DL-LA ratio in the PLA blocks were determined to be mainly due to consequent stereo-regularity changes in the PLA blocks.

Following a severe accident in a nuclear power plant, iodine is a major contributor to the potential health risks for the public. Because the amount of iodine released largely depends on its volatility, iodine's behavior in containment has been extensively studied in international programs such as International Source Term Programme-Experimental Program on Iodine Chemistry under Radiation (EPICUR), Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)-Behaviour of Iodine Project, and OECD-Source Term Evaluation and Mitigation. Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety (KINS) has joined these programs and is developing a simplified, stand-alone iodine chemistry model, RAIM (Radio-Active Iodine chemistry Model), based on the IMOD methodology and other previous studies. This model deals with chemical reactions associated with the formation and destruction of iodine species and surface reactions in the containment atmosphere and the sump in a simple manner. RAIM was applied to a simulation of four EPICUR tests and one Radioiodine Test Facility test, which were carried out in aqueous or gaseous phases. After analysis, the results show a trend of underestimation of organic and molecular iodine for the gas-phase experiments, the opposite of that for the aqueous-phase ones, whereas the total amount of volatile iodine species agrees well between the experiment and the analysis result.

The new experimental data of liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) of aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) consisting of poly(ethylene glycol) 3000 + tri-potassium citrate at different pH were presented. It was found that an increase in pH resulted in the expansion of the two-phase region. The TLL and STL increased with increasing the pH values. The Merchuk equation can be appropriately employed to correlate the binodal curves and also the tie-line compositions were adjusted to both the Othmer-Tobias and Bancroft equations. In order to calculate the compositions of the phase and the ends of the tie-lines, density and refractive indices as two physical properties were used. Finally, the extended UNIQUAC, UNIFAC, Virial-(Mobalegholeslam & Bakhshi) and modified UNIQUAC-FV were used to measure the phase equilibria at different pH. The results of the models suggested that it can be used quite well to correlate the LLE in an aqueous solution of polymer-salt.

One of the real issues of the recent years is water contamination because of harmful synthetic dyes. Liquid Membranes (LM) resemble a promising alternative to the current separation processes, demonstrating various points of interest as far as effectiveness, selectivity, and operational expenses. The improvement of various Liquid Membranes designs has been a matter of examination by few researchers, particularly for the expulsion of dyes from aqueous solutions. The choice of organic surfactants plays an essential role in the efficiency of the dye removal. In LM design, the most significant step towards productivity is the decision of the surfactant type and its concentration. Liquid emulsion membrane (LEM) was used to remove safranin from aqueous solutions in which the emulsion was made with the help of D2EHPA as carrier, kerosene was used as a diluent and Span 80 (Sorbiton monooleate) was used as an emulsifying agent or surfactant. Various sorts of internal stages were utilized, to be specific sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide. The impact of parameters influencing extraction efficiency such as pH of feed solution, concentrations of surfactant and emulsifying agent in membrane phase, volume ratio of internal phase to membrane phase, internal phase concentration, agitation speed and time of extraction were analyzed.

The stable conformers of glycine and the inter-conversions between them were studied theoretically at various levels of theory, B3LYP, MP2, CCSD and CCSD(T), in the gas phase and in aqueous solution. In aqueous solution, the structures examined by use of the conductor-like polarizable continuum model (CPCM) with various cavity models, UA0, UAHF, UAKS, UFF, BONDI and PAULING, and by use of a discrete/continuum solvation model with eight water clusters. The Gibbs free energy differences between the neutral (NE) and zwitterionic conformers (ZW), ${\Delta}G_{Z-N}[=G_{ZW}-G_{NE}]$, in aqueous solution were well reproduced by using the BONDI and PAULING cavity models. However the ${\Delta}G_{Z-N}$ values were underestimated in other cavity models, although the ZW conformers existed as stable species in aqueous solution. In the studies of a discrete/continuum solvation model with eight water clusters, gas phase results are still insufficient to reproduce the experimental findings. However the ${\Delta}G_{Z-N}$ values calculated by use of CPCM method in aqueous solution agreed well with the experimental ones.

Laboratory batch experiments were conducted to evaluate the Fenton degradation rates of phenanthrene. Fenton reactions for the degradation of phenanthrene were carried out with aqueous and slurry phase, to investigate the effects of sorption of phenanthrene onto solid phase. Various types of surfactants and electrolyte solutions were used to evaluate the effects on the phenanthrene degradation rates by Fenton's reaction. A maximum 90% removal of phenanthrene was achieved in aqueous phase with 0.9% of $H_2O_2$ and 300 mg/L of $Fe^{2+}$ at pH 3. In aqueous phase reaction, inhibitory effects of synthetic surfactants on the removal of phenanthrene were observed, implying that surfactant molecules acted as strong scavenger of hydroxyl radicals. However, use of $carboxymethyl-{\beta}-cyclodextrin$ (CMCD), natural surfactant, showed a slight enhancement in the degradation of phenanthrene. It was considered that reactive radicals formed at ternary complex were located in close proximity to phenanthrene partitioned into CMCD cavities. It was also show that Fenton degradation of phenanthrene were greatly enhanced by addition of NaCl, indicating that potent radical ion ($OCI^-$) played an important role in the phenanthrene degradation, although chloride ion might be acted as scavenger of radicals at low concentrations. Phenanthrene in slurry phase was resistant to Fenton degradation. It might be due to the fact that free radicals were mostly reacting with dissolved species rather than with sorbed phenanthrene. Even though synthetic surfactants were added to increase the phenanthrene concentration in dissolved phase, low degradation efficiency was obtained because of the scavenging of radicals by surfactants molecules. However, use of CMCD in slurry phase, showed a slight enhancement in the phenanthrene degradation. As an alternative, use of Fenton reaction with CMCD could be considered to increase the degradation rates of phenanthrene desorbed from solid phase.

최근 바이오 플라스틱인 Polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT)의 원료물질인 1,3-프로판디올의 생물학적 생산이 주목받고 있다. 발효를 통한 1,3-프로판디올의 생산에 있어 부산물로 생성되는 젖산, 숙신산을 포함한 카르복실산들은 1,3-프로판디올의 경제적인 생산을 어렵게 한다. 본 연구에서는 카르복실산 부산물이 포함된 1,3-프로판디올 수용액으로부터 1,3-프로판디올의 효율적 분리정제를 위해 수용성 알콜과 염으로 구성된 수상이성분계를 이용한 추출을 적용하였다. 알콜과 염으로 구성된 수상이성분계 형성은 하부상에 존재하는 염의 염출효과에 의한 것이며 이로 인해 1,3-프로판디올이 상부상으로 이동된다. 추출효율을 알콜의 사슬길이가 짧을수록, 염의 세기가 높을수록 높아졌으며 최대 98%의 회수율을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 발효 시에 부산물로 형성되는 카르복실산은 1,3-프로판디올과 동반추출 되지 않았으며 1,3-프로판디올의 추출효율에도 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 본 연구에서 적용된 친수성 알콜과 염으로 구성된 수상이성분계는 카르복실산 부산물로부터 1,3-프로판디올을 선택적으로 분리하는데 효과적임을 알 수 있다.
