나노 소재는 표면적이 매우 크고 크기나 기공이 균일하여 분리막에서 물질 전달통로나 특수한 기능성을 갖게 하는 소재로 이용이 가능하다. 그중에서도, 그래핀, 그래핀 옥사이드 및 탄소나노튜브와 같은 나노탄소 구조체에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 일차원 구조를 갖는 탄소나노튜브의 경우 우수한 열적, 화학적 및 기계적 성질을 가지고 있으나, 기존 연구에서는 주로 고분자와 혼합하여 기계적 물성을 강화하는 복합소재로서 사용됐으며, 응용분야의 한계를 가지고 있었다. 본 연구에서는 폴리 에틸렌 글리콜 다이아크릴레이트(PEGDA) 고분자 내에 개질된 탄소나노튜브를 혼합하여, 기체 분리막에서의 투과도 및 선택도의 변화를 관찰하였다.

Torrefaction is considered as a promising pre-treatment for thermochemical utilization of biomass. Torrefaction temperature and time are the critical operation parameters. In this study, investigated were the effects of reaction temperature and time on product composition of torrefaction. scanning electron microscope (SEM) images and thermo gravimetric analyzer (TGA) results were also compared for the effects of the operating parameters. SEM images showed that the pores were observed at the temperature of $250^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. Rapid decreases in weight were observed the temperature between 200 and$400^{\circ}C$. Higher heating value of the torrefied biomass was over 5,000 kcal/kg at the temperature of $250^{\circ}C$ for 45 minutes. Energy density, which is defined as the ratio of the energy yield over the mass yield was 1.36 at the temperature of $250^{\circ}C$ for 45 minutes. The energy density was higher up to 1.6 at the temperature of $280^{\circ}C$, which indicates greater loss in mass. The major components of the gas produced in the torrefaction were $CO_2$ and CO, with traces of methane. The total amount of gas was 31.54 l/kg and the calorific value of the gas was $1,164.4Kcal/Nm^3$ at the temperature of $250^{\circ}C$ for 30 minute reaction time. Based on the results of this study, the temperature of effective torrefaction is about $250^{\circ}C$ for 30 to 45 minutes of reaction time. Considering the heating value, it is desirable to utilize the gas for efficient process of torrefaction.

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.

A characteristics of microwave drying-gasification was analyzed for converting a dewatered sewage sludge generated a wastewater treatment plant. Gas (60%) was the largest component of the product of microwave gasification, followed by sludge char (33%) and tar (2%). The main components of the producer gas were hydrogen (33%) and carbon monoxide (40%), and there was some methane and hydrocarbons ($C_2H_4$, $C_2H_6$, $C_3H_8$). Larger nitrogen and smaller oxygen amounts were generated. Gravimetric tar generated $414g/m^3$. This means a total tar which is a heavy hydrocarbons from the volatile organic substance in the sewage sludge. Selected light tars were benzene, anthracene, naphthalene, pyrene, showing lower concentrations as 2.62, 0.37, 0.49, $0.28g/m^3$, respectively. Sludge char has larger meso pores which is a mean pore size of $50.85{\AA}$ and has high adsorptivity. An amount of adsorption was $228.71cm^3/g$, showing higher quantity than acommercial adsorbers. This indicates that the gas obtained from the microwave gasification of wet sewage sludge can be used as fuel, but the heavy tar in the gas must be treated. Sludge char can be used as a tar reduction adsorbent in the process, and then burns as a solid fuel.

탄소막은 고분자막에 비해 높은 선택성과 투과성, 열적, 화학적 안정성을 가지고 있어 기체 분리, 특히 휘발성 유기화합물(VOCs) 분리막으로 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 활성탄소중공사막은 기공 표면(pore wall)에 형성된 흡착성 미세기공에 의해 선택적으로 응축성 성분이 흡착, 확산되는 흡착-확산 기구에 의해 흡착성-비흡착성 물질이 분리된다. 본 연구에서는 다공성 알루미나 중공사막 지지체에 phenolic resin (novolac type)을 코팅한 후 산화, 탄화 및 활성화 등의 열분해 과정을 통해 막 표면과 기공 표변에 흡착성 미세기공이 형성된 활성탄소중공사막을 제조하였다. 또한 열분해 조건에 따른 phenol/alumina 복합 활성탄소중공사막의 물리적 특성과 기체 투과특성에 대해 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 제조된 phenol/alumina 복합 활성탄소중공사막이 휘발성 유기물질의 대부분을 차지하고 있는 탄화수소를 선택적으로 분리 회수하는데 매우 효과적인 특성을 갖고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발된 phenol/alumina 복합 활성탄소중공 사막은 VOCs의 분리, 농축에 매우 효과적으로 활용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

The porous metal material is used for injection metal mold with a great deal of gas production because it makes plenty of gas exhausted through pores formed in the metal mold. A canning HIP method was conventionally used for manufacturing of porous metals, but because of difficulty of process control and high cost of production its application was limited. In this experiment, porous metal mold material was produced by an enhanced vacuum sintering method with simply controlled and economical process and porosities/mechanical properties with variation of sintering temperature and duration time during vacuum sintering were studied. As a result, quality goods were obtained at optimized conditions as follows: sintering temperature of $1230^{\circ}C$, duration time of 2 hr and showed superior properties in wear loss and thermal conductivity and the same properties in hardness, TRS (Transverse Rupture Strength), and thermal expansion coefficient in comparison with those under canning HIP.

Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres have been a useful tool as a controlled drug delivery system for peptides and proteins. Recently, porous microspheres have gained great attention as inhalation drug delivery system due to their low aerodynamic densities. Here, we report highly porous PLGA microspheres, which were prepared by using a single o/w emulsification/solvent evaporation method. Two types of porogen, i.e., (i) extractable Pluronic F127 and (ii) gas foaming salt of ammonium bicarbonate, were used to induce pores on the surface of PLGA microspheres. The respective preparation conditions on dp/cp ratio and porogen concentration were determined by the previous preliminary experiments, and other preparation factors were further optimized on the basis of PLGA Mw and porogen type. The morphological features examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) show these porous microspheres have highly porous surface structure with a diameter range of 20${\sim}$30 ${\mu}$m. These highly porous PLGA microspheres, which have much lower density, would be a practical aerosol system for pulmonary drug delivery.

Erosion due to abrasive particles contained in gas streams from boilers has been emerged as a significant problem in the coal fired power plants. Particle erosion accounted for approximately 50% of boiler failures and especially flyash erosion was responsible for 20~30% of emergency boiler shutdowns. Particularly, because of the high ash loading and high velocity, most erosion occurs in the boiler tubes and economiser tube bank where the direction of the gas stream changes to $180^{\circ}$ .In this study, a high temperature particle erosion tester was used to evaluate erosion rate in a simulated environment. The erosion parameters such as erosion temperature, particle impact angle, particle velocity and various particle size were changed. Flyash is the combustion product of the pulverized coal, where size is ranging from 1 to $200\mu\textrm{m}$. Flyash composed of mainly SiO$_2$, $A1_2$$_O3$, and $Fe_2$$O_3$has dense spherical particles and irregular particles containing numerous pores and cavities. From the erosion tests at various conditions, the maximum erosion was experienced at impact angles of $30^{\circ}$ to $60^{\circ}$ In addition, erosion rate increased in proportional to velocity and temperature. And from the observation of the eroded surfaces, it was also concluded that 304 stainless steel was mainly eroded by extrusion-forging at high impact angle ($90^{\circ}$) and by microcutting mechanism at low impact angles ($30^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$).

TUnitized reversible fuel cells (URFC) combine the functionality of a fuel cell and electrolyzer in one unitized device. For a URFC with proton exchange membrane, a titanium (Ti)-felt is applied to the gas diffusion layer (GDL) substrate at the oxygen electrode, and additionally titanium (Ti)-powders and TiN-powders are loaded in the GDL substrate as a micro porous layer (MPL). Double porous layer with TiN MPL was not acceptable for the URFC because both of fuel cell performance and electrolysis performance are degraded. The double porous layer with Ti-powder loading in the Ti-felt substrate influence rearly for the electrolysis performance. In contrast, the change of pore-size distribution brings a significant improvement of fuel cell performance under fully humidification conditions. This fact indicates that the hydrophobic meso-pores in the GDL play an important role for mass transport.

We report a simple method for preparing hydrophobic mesoporous silica and its use as a pre-concentrating agent of gas analytes. Hydrophobic mesoporous silica was prepared by coating PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) thin layer on commercial mesoporous silica with thermal deposition method in a sealed chamber. By using this method, we were able to coat PDMS layer on inner-walls of pores larger than 15 nm. Also, contact angle measured on a surface consisting of PDMS-coated mesoporous silica exceeded $150^{\circ}$, implying that the surface has high water repellency. Pre-concentration ability of PDMS-coated mesoporous silica and baremesoporous silica was tested under dry and humid conditions. Adsorption and molecular desorption of gas analytes was much enhanced by PDMS-coating on mesoporous silica under both dry and humid conditions. Therefore we suggest that PDMS-coated mesoporous silica can be an efficient pre-concentration agent in order to enhance sensitivity of various detectors.
