본 연구에서는 전기투석법을 이용하여 아미노산 수용액중에 존재하는 전해질인 무기염의 분리 정제에 관하여 고찰하였다. 생물 분리기술로서 아미노산의 등전위점을 이용한 전기투석법의 적합성을 검토하기 위하여 음이온교환막, NEOSEPTA AM1(Tokuyama Soda Co. Ltd., Japan)과 양이온교환막 CM1 (Tokuyama Soda Co. Ltd., Japan)막을 사용한 전기투석조를 설계하였고 아미노산 발효공정과 유사한 계를 만들어서 무기염인 NaCl의 분리실험을 하였다. 즉, 운전조건을 설정하기 위해 pH에 따른 아미노산의 누설량, 한계전류 밀도를 측정한 후, 이를 바탕으로 회분식과 연속식 실험으로 염의 제거량과 아미노산의 누설량을 정량적으로 고찰하고 전류효율을 구하였다. 회분식 장치에서 아미노산 수용액별로 11시간동안 운전한 결과 NaCl의 제거효율은 96.1~96.2%이었고, 아미노산의 누설율은 glycine의 경우 2.5%, methionine의 경우 1.7%, alanine의 겨우 2.0%이었으며, 전류효율은 44.5~44.6% 범위이었다. 연속식 장치에서는 아미노산 수용액별로 dilution rate을 1.0~3.9$h^{-1}$로 변화시켜 실험한 결과, 120~150분 사이에 정상상태에 도달하였고, 유속이 작을수록 염의 제거 효율은 증가하였으나 전류효율은 감소하였다. 이때 아미노산의 누설은 거의 없었다.

물 관리는 저온에서 작동하는 고분자전해질 연료전지의 성능에 큰 영향을 미친다. 가스확산층(gas diffusion layer, GDL)은 반응 가스를 촉매층의 반응영역으로 확산시키는 역할을 한다. 연료전지의 작동온도가 $60{\sim}80^{\circ}C$이기때문에, 고전류 밀도에서 생성된 물은 액적을 형성한다. 만약 생성된 물이 적절하게 제거되지 않는다면, GDL 내의 기공을 막게 되고 연료전지 성능이 저하된다. 본 연구에서는 플러딩 현상을 막기 위해 마이크로채널 GDL 을 제안하였다. 기존 GDL과 마이크로채널 GDL을 3차원으로 구현하여 공기 속도, 물속도, 접촉각의 변화에 따른 물의 이송을 연구하였다. 전산해석 결과를 통해 마이크로채널 GDL에서는 낮은 유동 저항으로 인해 물이 빠르게 제거되는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로, 마이크로채널 GDL이 가스채널과 GDL 내부의 물 제거에 효율적임을 알 수 있다.

The separation of nicotine and tobacco-specific N-nitrosamines is a tough problem in tobacco industry. In this study, separation of nicotine from 4-(methylnitrosamino) -1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) mixtures was investigated using electrodialysis by taking the principle of the protonation status difference between these two components. The results indicated that the solution pH has a dominant impact on the separation process. In a pH range of 5-7, nicotine molecules are existed as mono- and di-protonated ions and can be separated from the uncharged NNK molecules. The acidic electrolyte is conducive to the separation process from the point of flux and energy consumption; while the alkaline electrolyte has negative impact on the separation process. A current density of $10mA/cm^2$ is an appropriate value for the separation process. The lowest energy consumption of the separation process is 0.58 kWh/kg nicotine with the process cost to be estimated at only $0.208 /kg nicotine. Naturally, electrodialysis is a high-efficiency, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly process to separate and purify nicotine from tobacco juice.

This study was carried out to improve the performance of heat recovery device attached to exhaust gas flue connected to combustion chamber of greenhouse heating system. Three different units were prepared for the comparison of heat recovery performance; AB-type(control unit) is exactly the same with the typical one fabricated for previous study of analyzing heat recovery performance in greenhouse heating system, other two types(C-type and D-type) modified from the control unit are different in the aspects of airflow direction(U-turn airflow) and pipe arrangement. The results are summarized as follows; 1. In the case of Type-AB, when considering the initial cost and current electricity fee required for system operation, it is expected that one or two years at most would be enough to return the whole cost invested. 2. Type-C and Type-D, basically different with Type-AB in the aspect of airflow pattern, are not sensitive to the change of blower capacity with higher than $25\;m^{3}/min$. Therefore, heat recovery performance was not improved so significantly with the increment of blower capacity. This is assumed to be that air flow resistance in high air capacity reduces the heat exchange rate as well. Never the less, compared with control unit, resultant heat recovery rate in Type-C and Type-D were improved by about 5% and 13%, respectively. 3. Desirable blower capacity for these heat recovery units experimented are expected to be about $25\;m^{3}/min$, and at the proper blower capacity, U-turn airflow units showed better heat recovery performance than control unit. But, without regard to the type of heat recovery unit, it is recommended that comprehensive consideration of system's physical factors such as pipe arrangement density, unit pipe length and pipe thickness, etc., are required for the optimization of heat recovery system in the aspects of not only energy conservation but economic system design.

General polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEMFC) operates at less than $80^{\circ}C$. Therefore liquid phase water resulting from electrochemical reaction accumulates and floods the cell which in turn increases the mass transfer loss. To prevent the flooding, it is common to employ serpentine flow channel, which can efficiently export liquid phase water to the outlet. The major drawback of utilizing serpentine flow channel is the large pressure drop that happens between the inlet and outlet. On the other hand, in the high temperature polymer electrolyte fuel cell (HT-PEMFC), since the operating temperature is 130 to $180^{\circ}C$, the generated water is in the state of gas, so the flooding phenomenon is not taken into consideration. In HT-PEMFCs parallel flow channel with lower pressure drop between the inlet and outlet is employed therefore, in order to circulate hydrogen and air in the cell less pumping power is required. In this study we analyzed HT-PEMFC's different flow channels by parallel computation using previously developed 3-D isothermal model. All the flow channels had an active area of $25cm^2$. Also, we numerically compared the performance of HT-PEMFC parallel flow channel with different manifold area and Rib interval against the original serpentine flow channel. Results of the analysis are shown in the form of three-dimensional contour polarization curves, flow characteristics in the channel, current density distribution in the Membrane, overpotential distribution in the catalyst layer, and hydrogen and oxygen concentration distribution. As a result, the performance of a real area fuel cell was predicted.

In this study, the effectiveness of electrodialysis in removing inorganic arsenic from groundwater was investigated. To evaluate the feasibility of the electrodialysis, operating parameters such as treatment time, feed concentration, applied voltage and superficial velocity were experimentally investigated on arsenic removal. The higher conductivity removal and arsenic removal efficiency were obtained by increasing applied voltages and operation time. An increase of salinity concentrations in arsenic polluted groundwater exerted no effects on the arsenic separation ratios. Arsenic polluted waters were successfully treated with stack voltages of 1.8 ~ 2.4 V/cell-pair to approximately 93.4% of arsenic removal. Increase flow rate in diluate cell gave positive effect to removal rate. However, increase of superficial velocity in the concentrated cell exerted no effects on either the conductivity reduction or on the separation efficiency. Hopefully, this paper will provide direction in selecting appropriate operating conditions of electrodialysis for arsenic removal.

A proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) operated at $150^{\circ}C$ was evaluated by a controlling different amount of phosphoric acid (PA) to a membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) without humidification of the cells. The effects on MEA performance of the amount of PA in the cathode are investigated. The PA content in the cathodes was optimized for higher catalyst utilization. The highest value of the active electrochemical area is achieved with the optimum amount of PA in the cathode confirmed by in-situ cyclic voltammetry. The current density-voltage experiments (I-V curve) also shows a transient response of cell voltage affected by the amount of PA in the electrodes. Furthermore, this information was compared with the production variables such as hot pressing and vacuum drying to investigate those effect to the electrochemical performances.

It is inclined to increase that use of hazardous substances such as lead(Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium(Cd) etc. are prohibited in the electronics according to environmental friendly policies of an advanced nation for protecting environment of earth. As this reasons, many researches for ensuring the reliability were proceeding in Pb free soldering process. n the flux remains on the PCB(printed circuit board) in the soldering process or the electronics exposed to corrosive environment, it becomes the reasons of breakdown or malfunction of the electronics caused by corrosion. Therefore in this studies we researched the polarization and Tafel properties of Sn40Pb and SnCu system solders based on the electrochemical theory. The experimental polarization curves were measured in distilled ionized water and 1 mole $3.5 wt\%$ NaCl electrolyte of $40^{\circ}C$, pH 7.5. Ag/AgCl and graphite were utilized by reference and counter electrodes, respectively. To observe the electrochemical reaction, polarization test was conducted from -250mV to +250mV. From the polarization curves composed of anodic and cathodic curves, we obtained Tafel slop, reversible electrode potential(Ecorr) and exchange current density((cow). In these results, we compared the corrosion rate of SnPb and SnCu solders.

고분자 막 성능 평가 및 내구성 평가에 이용하기 위해 고분자전해질 연료전지(PEMFC) 구동 중에 수소 크로스오버 측정이 필요하다. 수소 크로스오버 측정 시에 불활성 기체 대신에 공기를 cathode에 공급하면서 기체 크로마토그래프로 수소 농도를 cathode 출구에서 분석하였다. PEMFC 구동 중 고분자 막을 통과한 수소는 cathode에서 산소와 반응해 불활성 가스를 공급할 때에 비해 수소 농도가 감소하였다. cathode 공기 공급 유량이 증가하면 수소 농도가 감소했고, 셀의 온도와 습도, 압력이 증가하면 cathode의 수소 농도는 증가했다. 일반적인 PEMFC 구동 조건에서 $120mA/cm^2$ 전류밀도에서 수소농도는 약 5.0 ppm이었다.
