A comprehensive experimental and numerical study has been conducted to understand the influence of $CH_{3}Cl$ addition on $CH_4/O_2/N_2$ premixed flames under the oxygen enrichment. The laminar flame speeds of $CH_4/CH_{3}Cl/O_2/N_2$ premixed flames at room temperature and atmospheric pressure are experimentally measured using Bunsen nozzle flame technique, varying the amount of $CH_{3}Cl$ in the fuel, the equivalence ratio of the unburned mixture, and the level of the oxygen enrichment. The flame speeds predicted by a detailed chemical kinetic mechanism employed are found to be in excellent agreement with those deduced from experiments. Even though the molar amount of $CH_{3}Cl$ in a methane flame is increased, temperature at the postflame is not significantly varied, but the calculated heat release rate and emission index of NO are largely decreased for the oxygen enhanced flame. The function of $CH_{3}Cl$ as inhibitor on hydrocarbon flames becomes weakened as the level of the oxygen enrichment is increased from 0.21 to 0.5.

Numerical simulations of counterflow non-premixed $CH_4/C_2HCl_3/Air$ flames added 8%(by volume) C2HCl3 on the fuel side are conducted at atmospheric pressure using a detailed chemical reaction mechanism in order to understand the effect of strain rates. A detailed sensitivity analysis is also performed in order to assess the relative influence of each reaction on the flame established at a strain rate of 200s-1. The structure of flames (i.e., temperature, velocity, and concentration of species) established at both a strain rate of 150s-1 and 300s-1 are investigated. As the strain rate increases, the "flame zone" is restricted to a narrower range and the position of maximum temperature is shifted to the fuel side. The concentrations of major species, H2O, CO, H2, HCl, Cl2, and Cl are decreased with increased strain rate. The reaction involving chlorine, CH4 + Cl $\rightarrow$ CH3 + HCl, instead of the reaction, CH4 + H $\rightarrow$ CH3 + H2 influences the consumption of methane. C2HCl3 + OH $\rightarrow$ CHCl2 + CHOCl and HCl + OH $\rightarrow$ H2O + Cl, are major reactions, through which OH radicals are consumed.

We demonstrated size control of Au nanoparticles by heat treatment and their use as a catalyst for single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNTs) growth with narrow size distribution. We used uniformly sized Au nanoparticles from commercial Au colloid, and intentionally decreased their size through heat treatment at 800 oC under atmospheric Ar ambient. ST-cut quartz wafers were used as growth substrates to achieve parallel alignment of the SWNTs and to investigate the size relationship between Au nanoparticles and SWNTs. After the SWNTs were grown via chemical vapor deposition using methane gas, it was found that a high degree of horizontal alignment can be obtained when the particle density is low enough to produce individual SWNTs. The diameter of the Au nanoparticles gradually decreased from 3.8 to 2.9 nm, and the mean diameter of the SWNTs also changed from 1.6 to 1.2 nm for without and 60 min heat treatment, respectively. Raman results reconfirmed that the prolonged heat treatment of nanoparticles yields thinner tubes with narrower size distribution. This work demonstrated that heat treatment can be a straightforward and reliable method to control the size of catalytic nanoparticles and SWNT diameter.

In order to provide the database for designing microcombustors, the combustion characteristics of premixed methane and propane air microflames at normal and elevated temperatures and atmospheric pressure generated on a microtube were studied experimentally and computationally. The stability limits of premixed microflames and the propensity of the microflames near the stability limits were experimentally determined, while the structure of the microflame at the fuel-leanest limit was obtained using a two-dimensional CFD simulation with a reduced kinetic mechanism. For all the microflames, the stability limits were observed only in the fuel-rich region. Results also show substantial extension of stability limits with elevated temperature that is realistic condition for micro fuel processing and significant fuel dilution immediately near the tube exit due to a low Peclet number times Lewis number effect.

Carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and methane (CH$_4$) are two major greenhouse Bases. $CO_2$is a stack gas of many industrial processes and the main product of the hydrocarbon combustion. There is recent research interest on the synthesis gas (syngas) formation from $CO_2$ and CH$_4$, via the following reaction: CH$_4$+$CO_2$longrightarrow 2H$_2$+$CO_2$, in order to reduce the greenhouse effects and to synthesize various chemicals, Preliminary experiments were conducted on the conversion of $CO_2$ and CH$_4$ to syngas by making use of a microwave plasma torch at atmospheric pressure. Conversion rates of $CO_2$and CH$_4$ to hydrogen (H$_2$), carbon monoxide (CO) and higher hydrocarbons were investigated using Gas Chromatography (GC) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). The experimental data indicate that the main products were H$_2$, CO and small amount of higher hydrocarbons, such as ethylene (C$_2$H$_4$).

The counter-diffusion of two gaseous substances permeating a polymeric membrane has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The aim of the study was to find mutual effects, if any, that could influence the permeability and diffusivity data. The experimental data were obtained with an isostatic permeameter operating at ambient pressure and 303 K: helium, nitrogen, carbon dioxide methane were used as permeating gas at different partial pressure; helium or nitrogen as equilibrating or carrier gas. No evident mutual effect of the counter-diffusing gas was observed. The theoretical analysis gave some insight into the phenomena and it was concluded that at near-atmospheric pressures, and in the absence of swelling phenomena no mutual interaction exists. On a theoretical basis any mutual interaction between diffusing and counter-diffusing gases could only occur: i) at high pressures , when the free movement of permeating gas molecules within the polymer is hindered by the counter-diffusing gas; ii) when a large part of the free volume fraction is occupied by the counter--diffusing gas; iii) swelling phenomena modify the structure and free volume fraction of the polymer.

We present a synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWNTs) for enhancement of parallel-alignment and density using chemical vapor deposition with methane feed gas. As-purchased ST-cut quartz substrates were heat-treated and line-patterned by electron-beam lithography in order to grow SWNTs with parallel alignment. We investigated the effects of various synthesis parameters such as catalyst oxidation, reduction, and synthesis conditions in order to enhance both tube density and degree of parallel alignment. The condition of $1{\AA}$ of Fe catalyst film, atmospheric oxidation at $750^{\circ}C$ for 10 min, reduction under 400 Torr for 5 min, and growth at $865^{\circ}C$ under 300 Torr yields $33tubes/10{\mu}m$, which is the highest tube density with parallel alignment. Based on the results of atomic force microscope and Raman spectroscopy, it was found that SWNTs have diameter range of 0.8-2.0 nm. We believe that the present work would contribute to the development of SWNTs-based flexible functional devices.

메탄(CH₄)이 유출되는 관정 주변에서 토양(비포화대) 가스 모니터링과 자료 해석 방법을 제시하고자 토양 가스의 성분변화를 약 3일간 측정하였다. 이를 위해서 포항 지역의 시험 관정 2개(TB2, TB3)의 주변 1 m 이내에서 방사상으로 토양 가스를 채취하고 현장에서 CO₂, CH₄, N₂, O₂의 농도를 분석하였다. TB2의 관정 정두(wellhead)에서 30 cm 떨어진 지점에서 CO₂ 플럭스도 측정하였다. 아울러 TB2 관정 정두의 가스 시료와 대기 시료도 채취하여 분석하였다. 모니터링 마지막 날 채취한 시료는 실험실에서 CO₂의 탄소동위원소(δ¹³C_CO2)를 분석하였다. 서로 12.7 m 떨어져 있는 두 시험 관정 중 TB3는 시멘팅이 되어 있고, TB2는 시멘팅이 되어 있지 않았다. 생지구화학 반응 기반(process-based) 해석을 적용한 결과, 비포화대 가스의 CO₂, O₂, N₂ 농도와 N₂/O₂ 의 변화는 모두 CH₄의 산화를 지시하는 선과 가스의 용해에 의한 농도의 변화를 지시하는 선 사이에 위치하고 있었다. 또한 TB2 정두에서 측정된 CH₄은 대기의 CH₄에 비해서 5.2배 높은 값을 나타나고 있었다. 시멘팅이 되어 있지 않은 관정(TB2) 주변 비포화대에서 나타난 높은 CO₂ 농도(평균 1.148%)는 CH₄의 산화에 의해 증가한 것으로 판단된다. 반면, 시멘팅이 된 관정(TB3) 주변의 비포화대 CO₂는 상대적으로 낮은 농도(0.136%)를 나타내고 있었다. 따라서 CH₄가 산출되는 관정의 주변 토양가스(CO₂ 포함)는 관정의 완결 상태(시멘팅)에 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 천연가스 개발 관정 주변 토양의 환경 모니터링을 위한 전략 수립에 활용될 수 있으며, CO₂ 지중저장을 위한 주입정 및 관측정 주변 누출 감시에 활용될 수 있다. 또한 본 연구의 방법은 천연가스 저장소, 유류 오염 토양의 모니터링에 활용 가치가 있다.

대기 산성 강하물 : 삼림의 질소 포화 한국의 연평균 습성 질소 강하량은 12.78(범위: $7.28{\sim}21.05)\;kgN{\cdot}ha^{-1}{\cdot}yr^{-1}$이고, 이것에 건성 질소 강하량(43%)을 합하여 추정한 총질소 강하량은 18.26(10.41-30.10) $kgN{\cdot}ha^{-1}{\cdot}yr^{-1}$이 된다. 이 질소 강하량은 유럽과 북미 북동부의 질소 강하량과 비슷한 수준이다. 대기 질소 강하량이 많은 온대 삼림은 질소로 포화된다. 질소로 포화된 삼림은 계류수와 토양에 질산이온 ($NO_3^-$)과 질산태질소/암모늄태질소이($NO_{3}^{-}-N/NH_{4}^{+}-N$)의 비가 높아지고, 잎의 질소 농도가 높아지므로 N/P비, N/K비 및 N/Mg 비가 높아지는 것으로 보아 무기 영양소 교란이 일어나며, 상해와 병해에 걸리기 쉬워지고 세근과 근균의 활성이 낮아짐으로써 생산성이 낮아진다. 그러고 혐질소성 종이 호질소성 종에 의하여 대치된다. 질소로 포화된 토양에서는 온실가스인 메탄($CH_4$)의 흡수가 감소되고 일산화질소 (NO)와 아산화질소 ($N_{2}O$)의 배출이 증가되어 지구온난화를 촉진할 수 있다. 이 종설은 한국의 33장소에서 6년 동안 ($1999{\sim}2004$) 측정한 부피가중 연평균 습성 질소 강하량이 삼림의 질소 포화 수준에 달하고, 광릉시험림분수계와 그 밖의 삼림 계류수의 $NO_3$ 유출량으로 미루어 보아 한국의 삼림에 질소 포화의 징후가 나타났음을 제시하며, 문헌 자료를 통해서 외국의 삼림에서 일어나는 질소 포화의 징후를 체계적으로 논하는 데 목적이 있다.

A dual-channel glass coil sampling technique was used to measure hourly formaldehyde concentration in the ambient air. The dual-channel coil sampling assembly consists of three parts; an all-pyrex 28-turn coil made of 0.2-cm internal diameter glass tubing for gas-liquid contact and scrubbing of soluble gases, an inlet section upstream of the coil for introducing sample air and scrubbing solution, and a widened glass section downstream of the coil for gas-liquid separation. The scrubbing solution used was a dilute aqueous DNPH (dinitrophenylhydrazine) solution. Hourly concentration of formaldehyde was determined at a Gwangju semi-urban site during two intensive studies between September and October using the dual channel glass-coil/DNPH sampling technique and HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) analysis. The mean concentration was 1.7($0.4{\sim}4.7$) and 3.0($0.5{\sim}19.1$) ppbv for the September and October intensives, respectively, which are considerably low, compared to those measured in polluted urban areas around the world including several urban areas of Korea. The diurnal variation showed significant increase of formaldehyde in the daytime suggesting the dominance of formation of formaldehyde due to photochemical oxidation of methane and other hydrocarbons. An increase in the formaldehyde sometimes in the night might be due to an increase in primary source, i.e. traffic emissions. It was also found that rapid increase in formaldehyde levels from 3.0 to 19.1 ppbv in the afternoon on October 20 was due to plumes from burning of agricultural wastes such as rice straw and stubble. It is expected from the measurement data that the constructed dual-channel glass coil sampling system can be utilized for measuring atmospheric concentration of the formaldehyde with high time resolution.
