디메틸에테르(이하 DME)는 환경에 친화적인 새로운 청정에너지이다. 또한 DME는 다양한 에너지원으로부터 제조 되어지며, 그 에너지원으로는 천연가스, 석탄, 바이오매스, 폐플라스틱 등이 있다. 이런 DME는 LPG와 매우 유사한 성질을 특징으로 가지고 있다. 이러한 결과로 DME는 LPG, 연료전지, 발전연료, 특히 디젤의 대체 연료로 고려되고 있으며, 2010년 대체 에너지로 기대되고 있다. DME 직접합성반응의 반응속도를 측정하기 위하여 서로 다른 조건인 온도 $220{\sim}280^{\circ}C$, 합성가스 비율 1.2~3.0에서 실험을 수행하였다. 모든 실험은 혼성촉매를 사용하여 수행하였으며, 혼성촉매는 메탄올 합성 촉매와 메탄올 탈수촉매가 포함되어 있다. 반응속도는 랭미어-힌쉘우드 타입의 반응 메커니즘을 따르며, 메탄올 합성반응, 메탄올 탈수반응, 수성가스 전환반응, 이 세 가지 반응의 메커니즘을 고려하였다. 각 반응의 반응속도는 촉매상의 표면반응과 수소와 메탄올, 그리고 물의 해리흡작으로 결정하였다.

상변환과 졸-겔 반응을 동시에 행하는 새로운 제막법으로 나노크기의 $ZrO_2$ 입자가 함유된 비대칭형 PES-$ZrO_2$ 복합 막을 제조하였다. PES-$ZrO_2$ 복합 막 제조의 최적 제막 조건을 복합 막에의 인 흡착실험을 수행하여 인 흡착량이 최대가 되는 조건으로서 결정하였는바, 최적 제막 조건은 캐스팅 용액에 1 mL의 PES 당 0.15 mL의 $Zr(PrO)_4$ 첨가 및 비용매 1 L에 1 mL $Zr(PrO)_4$ 당 30 mL의 $HNO_3$ 촉매를 첨가했을 때 이었다. 복합 막의 단면 구조, 막성능 및 $ZrO_2$ 입자 함유량 변화를 SEM, 순수투과량, TGA, ICP, XRD 및 접촉각 측정을 통해 결정하였는바, 캐스팅 용액에의 $Zr(PrO)_4$ 첨가량이 증가할수록 순수 투과량이 증가하며, $ZrO_2$ 입자 함유량은 1 mL의 PES 당 0.15 mL의 $Zr(PrO)_4$ 첨가했을 때 최대가 되었다. 복합 막의 표면 특성을 친수성으로 개선하기 위하여 인산처리를 하였으며, 인산처리 전후(前後)의 두 종류 PES-$ZrO_2$ 복합 막을 대상으로 한 BSA 용액의 dead-end 한외여과 실험을 수행하여 막오염 형성의 억제 정도를 평가한 결과 인산처리 시킨 복합 막의 경우 투과량과 BSA 배제도 모두 약 40% 정도 증가하였는데 이는 복합 막을 인산처리 시킴으로서 막특성이 친수화 되었기 때문이다.

A simple chemical precipitation technique is reported for the synthesis of a hybrid nanostructure of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and titania ($TiO_2$) nanocrystals of average size 5 nm, which may be useful as a prominent photocatalytic material with improved functionality. The synthesized hybrid structure has been characterized by transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), powder X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy. It is clearly revealed that nearly monodispersed titania nanocrystals (anatase phase) of average size 5 nm decorate the surfaces of SWCNT bundles. The UV-vis absorption study shows a blue shift of 16 nm in the absorbance peak position of the composite material compared to the unmodified SWCNTs. The photoluminescence study shows a violet-blue emission in the range of 325-500 nm with a peak emission at 400 nm. The low temperature electrical transport property of the synthesized nanomaterial has been studied between 77-300 K. The DC conductivity shows semiconductor-like characteristics with conductivity increasing sharply with temperature in the range of 175-300 K. Such nanocomposites may find wide applications as improved photocatalyst due to transfer of photo-ejected electrons from $TiO_2$ to SWCNT, thus reducing recombination, with the SWCNT scaffold providing a firm and better positioning of the catalytic material.

In this study, degradation of estrone (E1) and $17{\alpha}$-ethynylestradiol (EE2) by gamma-irradiation and subsequent reduction of estrogenic activity as a function of absorbed dose were conducted using the yeast two-hybrid assay. Relative potency of E1 and EE2 compared to estrogenic activity of $17{\beta}$-estradiol (E2) was found to be 0.0144 and 0.1605, respectively. More than 90% of E1 and EE2 (both $5.0{\times}10^{-6}M$) was removed at an absorbed dose of 5 kGy, but more than 40% of estrogenic activity still remained. The addition of $TiO_2$ catalyst appeared to improve the removal efficiency of E1 and decrease estrogenic activity while there was no significant effect for EE2. Additionally, the calculated estrogenic activity of E1 and EE2 based on a regression model was well correlated with the observed activity.

Nano porous indium tin oxide (ITO) powder was synthesized employing a new route sol-gel combustion hybrid method using Ketjen Black as a fuel. The nano porous ITO powder was composed of $SnCl_4$-98.0% and $In(NO_3)_3{\cdot}XH_2O$-99.999%, produce with a $NH_4OH$ with sol-gel method as a catalyst [1,2]. Crystal structures were examined by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and those results show shaper intensity peak at $25.6^{\circ}(2{\Theta})$ of $SnO_2$ by increased sintering temperature. A particle morphology as well as crystal size was investigated by scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), and the size of the nano porous powder was found to be in the range of 20~30nm. ITO films could controlled by nano porous powder at various sintering temperature in this paper[3,4]. The sol-gel combustion method was offered simple and effective route for the synthesis of nano porous ITO powder[5].

The removal characteristics for aromatic and aliphatic VOCs by electron beam (EB) were discussed in terms of several removal variables such as initial VOC concentration, absorbed dose, background gas, moisture content, reactor material and inlet temperature. It was reviewed that only reactor material was an independent variable among the potential control factors concerned. It was also suggested that main mechanism by EB should be radical reaction for the VOC removal rather than that by primary electrons. It was discussed that the removal efficiency of benzene was lower than that of hexane due to a closed benzene ring. In the case of aromatic VOCs, it was observed that the decomposition of the VOCs with more functional groups attached on the benzene ring was much easier than those with less ones. As for aliphatic VOCs, it was also implied that the longer carbon chain was, the higher the removal efficiency became. An EB-catalyst hybrid system was discussed as an alternative way to remove VOCs more effectively than EB-only system due to much less by-products. This hybrid included supporting materials such as cordierite, Y-zeolite, and $\gamma$-alumina.

Organic fouling and biofouling pose a significant challenge to the membrane filtration process. Photocatalysis-membrane hybrid system is a novel idea for reducing these membranes fouling however, when $TiO_2 photocatalyst nanoparticles are used in suspension, catalyst recovery is not only imposes an extra step on the process but also significantly contributes to increased membrane resistance and reduced permeate flux. In this study, $TiO_2$ photocatalyst has been immobilized by coating on the microfiltration (MF) membrane surface to minimize organic and microbial fouling. Nano-sized $TiO_2$ was first synthesized by a sol-gel method. The synthesized $TiO_2$ was coated on a Poly Vinyl Difluoride (PVDF) membrane (MF) surface using spray coating and dip coating techniques to obtain hybrid functional composite membrane. The characteristics of the synthesized photocatalyst and a functional composite membrane were studied using numerous instruments in terms of physical, chemical and electrical properties. In comparison to the clean PVDF membrane, the $TiO_2$ coated MF membrane was found more effective in removing methylene blue (20%) and E-coli (99%).

LPG direct injection (LPDi) technology is a method of improving the weaknesses of existing LPG vehicles by directly injection into the combustion chamber. This study was conducted on the comparison of emissions and fuel efficiency performance of the engine and vehicle by applying LPDi technology. The LPDi hybrid engine's maximum output and maximum torque were measured at an equivalent level of less than 1% compared to conventional gasoline fuel. The fuel amount was corrected using the LCU controller, and the THC, CO, and NOx emissions were reduced to 90% in the operating range of the three-way catalyst through air-fuel ratio control. The analysis of THC+NOx and CO emissions in FTP-75 (CVS-75) driving mode satisfied the US LEV III SULEV30 regulation.

본 연구에서는 활성탄 흡착, 오존 단독, 오존/활성탄 혼합공정을 이용하여 부식산을 처리하고 부식산의 처리효율을 $UV_{254}$와 DOC를 통해 살펴보았으며, 부식산의 분해특성은 분자량 크기분포의 변화와 활성탄 표면변화를 통해 관찰하였다. 각 공정에서의 DOC 제거효율을 살펴본 결과, 활성탄 흡착공정은 약 19%, 오존 단독공정은 38%이었으나, 오존/활성탄 혼합공정에서는 약 80%로 활성탄 흡착공정과 오존 단독공정의 DOC 처리효율을 합한 것보다 훨씬 높아, 혼합공정을 도입함으로써 시너지 효과를 얻을 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 기리고 $UV_{254}$ 감소율 역시 오존/활성탄 혼합공정에서 가장 크게 나타났다. 오존/활성탄 혼합공정에서 활성탄은 고유의 흡착제 역할뿐만 아니라 흡착된 유기물과 오존의 접촉을 촉진시키는 반응자리를 제공하는 역할을 하는 것으로 사료된다. 각 공정에서의 분자량크기분포 변화를 살펴본 결과, 활성탄 흡착공정에의 분자량 크기분포는 반응 전후에 큰 차이가 없었으며, 오존 단독공정에서는 30 kDa 이상의 분자량이 반응시간 10분 이후에는 거의 감소하지 않고 일정하였으나, 0.5 kDa 이하의 저분자량은 초기 4.8%에서 120분 처리시 12.3%로 증가하였다. 한편 오존/활성탄 혼합공정에서는 120분 처리시 30 kDa 이상 분자량이 초기 36.3%에서 3.9%로 뚜렷하게 감소하였으며, 0.5 kDa 이하의 저분자량은 초기 4.8%에서 40.1%로 크게 증가하였다.

A preparation process's conditions of aqueous sol which contains anatase-type nano titania particles with photocatalyic properties was established by using Yoldas process, so called, DCS(Destabilization of Colloidal Solution) process in this study. And crystal size change and phase transformation of titania particles in aqueous titania sol depending on reaction conditions was investigated by a light scattering method and XRD analysis of frozen dried powders, respectively. This sol with photo catalytic nano titania particles was used to the following hydrophilic hybrid coating film's fabrication and its properties was evaluated. Subsequently, for coating film using the above mentioned aqueous titania sol, non-aqueous titania sol was prepared without any chemical additives and its time stability according to aging time was investigate. By using the above mentioned aqueous titania sol and non-aqueous sol, a complex oxide coating sol for metal and ceramic substrate and a organic-inorganic hybrid coating sol for polymer substrate was prepared and it's hydrophilicity depending on UV irradiation conditions was evaluated. As a conclusions, the following results were obtained. (1)Aqueous titania sol The average particle size of titania in formed aqueous titania sol was distributed between 20$\sim$90nm range depending on reaction conditions. And the crystal phase of titania powders obtained by frozen drying method was changed from amorphous state to anatase and subsequently transformed to rutile crystal phase and it is attributed to concentration gradient in aqueous sol. (2)Non-aqueous titania sol Non-aqueous titania sol was prepared using methanol as a solvent and a little distilled water for hydrolysis and nitric acid as a catalyst were used. The obtained non-aqueous titania sol was stable at room temperature for 20 days. Additionally, non-aqueous titania sol with addition of chealating reagent such as acethylaceton and ethylene glycol prolonged the stability of sol by six months. (3)Complex sol and hybrid sol with super hydrophilicity The above mentioned aqueous titania sol as a main photocataylic component and non-aqueous titania sol as a binder for coating process was used to prepare a complex sol used for metal, ceramic and wood material substrate and also to prepare the organic-inorganic hybrid sol for polymer substrate such as polycarbonate and polyethylene, in which process APMS(3-Aminopropyltrimethoxysilane), GPTS(3-Glycidoxypropyl-trimethoxysilane) as a hydrophilic silane compound and HEMA(2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate) as a forming network in hybrid coating film were used. The hybrid coating film such as prepared through this process showed a superhydrophilicity below 1$10^{\circ}$ depending on processing conditions and a pencil's hardness over 6 H.
