Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate types and characteristics of chemical substances used in LCD(Liquid crystal display) panel manufacturing process. Methods: The LCD panel manufacturing process is divided into the fabrication(fab) process and module process. The use of chemical substances by process was investigated at four fab processes and two module processes at two domestic TFT-LCD(Thin film transistor-Liquid crystal display) panel manufacturing sites. Results: LCD panels are manufactured through various unit processes such as sputtering, chemical vapor deposition(CVD), etching, and photolithography, and a range of chemicals are used in each process. Metal target materials including copper, aluminum, and indium tin oxide are used in the sputtering process, and gaseous materials such as phosphine, silane, and chlorine are used in CVD and dry etching processes. Inorganic acids such as hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid and sulfuric acid are used in wet etching process, and photoresist and developer are used in photolithography process. Chemical substances for the alignment of liquid crystal, such as polyimides, liquid crystals, and sealants are used in a liquid crystal process. Adhesives and hardeners for adhesion of driver IC and printed circuit board(PCB) to the LCD panel are used in the module process. Conclusions: LCD panels are produced through dozens of unit processes using various types of chemical substances in clean room facilities. Hazardous substances such as organic solvents, reactive gases, irritants, and toxic substances are used in the manufacturing processes, but periodic workplace monitoring applies only to certain chemical substances by law. Therefore, efforts should be made to minimize worker exposure to chemical substances used in LCD panel manufacturing process.

Adulterated herbal medicine is intentionally added with undeclared improper or inferior ingredients which should not be in herbal medicine. The contamination with potentially hazardous substances such as heavy metal, pesticides, fungus, and microorganism sometimes can be regarded as one of adulteration in a broad sense. The problem of adulteration is that adulterated herbal medicine shows poor quality and/or can cause adverse events. Therefore, it is important to control adulteration issues for quality assurance and qualitative improvement of herbal medicines. This study aims to summarize and make a reference how to control adulterated herbal medicine. In this process, this study is to investigate studies about adulterated herbal medicine via searching Korean and foreign electronic databases such as PubMed, NDSL and OASIS. Finally eighteen papers were included to this study and analyzed according to the type of study, the category and efficacy of adulterants, the type of analysis methodologies and possible adverse events of adulterants. Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitors for male sexual enhancement and anorexic, laxative, diuretic agents for weight loss and treating obesity has been used frequently as adulterants. The range of adverse event caused by adulterated herbal medicine were very wide from mild symptoms such as diarrhea, constipation, dizziness and blurred vision to very severe symptoms such as heart failure, hypoglycemia and renal impairment. This study showed the recent trend on the research of adulterated herbal medicine and this will be the ground to develop more detailed systems to control adulterated herbal medicine.

최근 촉매 소각 공정은 휘발성 유기 화합물을 저온(< 450 ℃)에서 고효율(> 95%)로 산화 및 분해하기 위해 상당한 주목을 받고 있다. 많은 귀금속 촉매 물질이 잘 연구되어 사용되고 있으나 단가가 비싸고 위험하다. 본연구에서는 Cu와 Mn 전구체의 공침법을 활용하여 간단하고 손쉬운 합성 방법을 개발함으로써 고활성 및 저비용의 Cu-Mn 바이메탈 촉매를 제조하였다. 촉매 합성은 Cu와 Mn의 조성비를 조절하여 최적화하였다. 최적화된 촉매는 메조포러스 구조로 230.8 m²/g의 넓은 표면적을 나타냈다. 촉매 성능을 입증하기 위해 에틸 아세테이트의 산화 반응에 대해 Cu-Mn 촉매를 테스트했으며, 250 ℃의 저온에서 100%의 높은 전환 효율을 나타내었다.

The effect of the structure of an ITO nanoparticle film sensor on its performance was studied. A printed ITO film (P-ITO film) was fabricated on a flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate, and the contact resistance of the electrode and sensor response change were clarified according to the detection position. The contact resistance between Ag and P-ITO was observed to be -204.4 Ω using the transmission line method (TLM), confirming that a very good ohmic contact is possible. In addition, we confirmed that the contact position of the analyte had a significant influence on the response of the sensor. Based on these results, the performance of the four types of sensors was compared. Consequently, we observed that 1) optimizing the resistance of the printed film, 2) optimizing the electrode structure and analyte input position, and 3) optimizing the electrode area are very important for fabricating a metal oxide nanoparticle (MONP) sensor with optimal performance.

Biological corrosion, a crucial aspect of metal degradation, has received limited attention despite its significance. It involves the deterioration of metals due to corrosion processes influenced by living organisms, including bacteria. Soil represents a substantial threat to pipeline corrosion as it contains chemical and microbial factors that cause severe damage to water, oil, and gas transmission projects. To combat fouling and corrosion, corrosion inhibitors are commonly used; however, their production often involves expensive and hazardous chemicals. Consequently, researchers are exploring natural and eco-friendly alternatives, specifically nano-sized products, as potent corrosion inhibitors. This study aims to environmentally synthesize silver nanoparticles using an extract from Lagoecia cuminoides L and evaluate their effectiveness in preventing biological corrosion of buried pipes in soil. The optimal experimental conditions were determined as follows: a volume of 4 ml for the extract, a volume of 4 ml for silver nitrate (AgNO3), pH 9, a duration of 60 minutes, and a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius. Analysis using transmission electron microscopy confirmed the formation of nanoparticles with an average size of approximately 28 nm, while X-ray diffraction patterns exhibited suitable peak intensities. By employing the Scherer equation, the average particle size was estimated to be around 30 nm. Furthermore, antibacterial studies revealed the potent antibacterial activity of the synthesized silver nanoparticles against both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. This property effectively mitigates the biological corrosion caused by bacteria in steel pipes buried in soil.

본 연구는 폐플라스틱 재활용 제품(재활용 고무대야)의 올바른 사용을 유도하기위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 수행하였다. 재활용 고무대야의 중금속(Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Pb, Zn) 함량과 용출량을 확인하고 김치제조 시나리오에 따라 배추 시료를 분석하여 재활용 고무대야에서 제조한 김치를 섭취할 경우의 노출량을 산정하였다. 분석결과 재활용 고무대야의 중금속함량은 Fe이 가장 높게 나왔으며 그 다음으로 Cu, Zn, Pb의 함량이 높았다. 16개 시료 중 1 개 시료가 식품공전 기구 및 용기포장 일반기준(Cd, $Cr^{6+}$, Pb, Hg 함량합계 100 mg/kg 이하)을 초과하였다. 용출시험에서는 Fe, Pb, Zn이 검출되었으나 식품공전 합성수지제 용출규격(Pb 1.0 mg/L 이하) 미만이었다. 재활용 고무대야에서 절인 배추시료의 중금속 함량 분석결과 Fe, Pb, Zn이 검출 되었으나 노출량을 산정한 결과 일일최대 섭취한계량 미만이었다. 재활용 고무대야의 시나리오에 따른 노출량 시험결과 유해물질의 함량은 일일 최대 섭취량 미만으로 나타났으나 함량분석결과 기준을 초과한 시료가 있었다. 또한 온도, 시간 등 조건변화에 따른 추가용출 가능성을 배제할 수 없으므로 식품 제조용기로 사용하는 것은 주의가 필요하다.

본 연구에서는 열처리 공정에서 발생하는 폐기물 중 무기물질류 15 종과, 유기물질류 24 종 (PCDD/PCDFs, PAHs)에 대한 배출 특성을 파악하고자 수행하였다. 납 열적 야금에서 발생하는 폐기물 (EWC 10 04)에서 규제 무기금속물질류 중 Pb은 가장 높은 농도를 보였다. 이는 EWC 10 04에서 분진으로 인한 결과로 판단된다. 아연 열적 야금에서 발생하는 폐기물(EWC 10 05)에서 규제 무기금속물질류 중 Zn이 높은 농도로 나타나 EWC 10 05에서 분진으로 인한 결과로 판단되며, 또한 구리 열적 야금에서 발생하는 폐기물(EWC 10 06)에서 Cu가 65,177 mg/kg으로 규제기준 (100 mg/kg)보다 651 배 높게 나타난 것은 EWC 10 06에서 분진으로 인한 결과로 판단된다. 분진은 다이옥신 0.0005~11.748 ng-TEQ/g으로 검출되었고, 소각재는 0.0027 ng-TEQ/g로 나타났다. 다이옥신의 규제기준을 초과하는 시료는 없는 것으로 조사되었다. PAHs의 함량은 Naphthalene는 ND~118.9 mg/kg, Phenanthrene는 ND~9.6 mg/kg, Benzo[b]fluoranthene은 ND~48.4 mg/kg, Benzo[a]pyrene는 ND~62.6 mg/kg, Fluoranthene는 ND~10.7 mg/kg, Benzo[a]anthracene는 ND~11.5 mg/kg의 범위로 나타났다.

본 논문은 매립장 복토재로 사용될 열분해 차르의 중금속 및 VOCs의 흡착거동을 조사하였다. 열분해 과정에서 슬러지에 함유된 휘발분이 가스화 됨으로서 모체에 세공이 형성되었다. 휘발분의 가스화로 인해 형성된 세공을 확인하기 위하여 질소 흡착/탈착 실험을 한 결과, 열분해 차르($14.56\;m^2/g$)가 유기성 폐슬러지($6.68\;m^2/g$)보다 비표면적이 2배 정도 증가한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 열분해 차르는 BDDT 분류의 Type II와 V의 중간 형태의 흡착특성을 나타냈으며, 약간의 미세공이 형성되었음을 보여주었다. 에틸벤젠과 톨루엔의 흡착실험 결과를 Freundlich 흡착등온선에 적용한 결과, 열분해 차르는 화강토나 유기성 폐슬러지보다 이들 물질에 대해 흡착능이 우수하였다. 또한 열분해 차르의 중금속 흡착실험에서도 어느 정도 중금속 흡착능력을 보여주었다. 이것은 열분해 차르가 매립장 복토재로 사용될 경우, 매립장으로부터 유해물질을 흡착/흡수하여 지하수와 토양이 오염되는 것을 막아주는 효과를 가지고 있음을 말해준다.
