The field emission properties of GaN are reported in the present study. To be a good field emitter, it requires a low work function, high aspect ratio, and strong mechanical stability. In the case of GaN, it has a quite low work function (4.1eV) and strong chemical/mechanical/thermal stabilities. However, so far, it was difficult to fabricate vertical GaN nanostructures with a high aspect ratio. In this study, we successfully achieved vertically well aligned GaN nanostructures with chemical vapor-phase etching methods [1] (Fig. 1). In this method, we chemically etched the GaN film using hydrogen chloride and ammonia gases at high temperature around $900^{\circ}C$. This process effectively forms vertical nanostructures without patterning procedure. This favorable shape of GaN nanostructures for electron emitting results in excellent field emission properties such as a low turn-on field and long term stability. In addition, we observed a uniform fluorescence image from a phosphor film attached at the anode part. The turn-on field for the GaN nanostructures is found to be about $0.8V/{\mu}m$ at current density of $20{\mu}A$/cm^2. This value is even lower than that of typical carbon nanotubes ($1V/{\mu}m$). Moreover, threshold field is $1.8V/{\mu}m$ at current density of $1mA$/cm^2. The GaN nanostructures achieved a high current density within a small applied field range. We believe that our chemically etched vertical nanostructures are the promising structures for various field emitting devices.

The effectiveness of four air fresher (AF) systems was evaluated with respect to their removal efficiencies against offensive odorants. For this purpose, malodorous species were generated by exposing freshly cooked foods emitting odorants with levels moderately above their respective threshold values in a confined room. The deodorization efficiency of the four AF systems was then tested for a period of 30 min by estimating the extent of reduction in odorant levels after the operation of each AF. The removal efficiency of the four AF units against each odorant was evaluated as follows: (1) between AF products from different manufacturers, (2) between odorants and ultrafine particulate matter ($PM_{2.5}$), and (3) between operation and natural degassing. The average sorptive removal of odorants was generally <80% and considered less effective or non-effective relative to $PM_{2.5}$. Further examination of odor reduction, if evaluated in terms of odor indices like odor intensity (OI) and odor activity value (OAV), recorded a mean of 33% and 87%, respectively. The overall results of this study confirmed that all tested AF units were not effective to resolve odor problems created under our testing conditions.

An electrolytic oxidation process was applied to remove odorous compounds from non-point odor sources including wastewater pipelines and manholes. In this study, a distance between the anode and the cathode of the electrolytic process was varied as a system operating parameters, and its effects on odor removal efficiencies and reaction characteristics were investigated. Odor precursors such as sediment organic matters and reduced sulfur/nitrogen compounds were effectively oxidized in the electrolytic process, and a change in oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) indicated that an stringent anaerobic condition shifted to a mild anoxic condition rapidly. At an electrode distance of 1 cm and an applied voltage of 30 V, a system current was maintained at 1 A, and the current density was 23.1 $mA/cm^{2}$. Under the condition, the removal efficiency of hydrogen sulfide in gas phase was found to be 100%, and 93% of ammonium ion was removed from the liquid phase during the 120 minute operating period. Moreover, the sulfate ion (${SO_4}^{2-}$) concentration increased about three times from its initial value due to the active oxidation. As the specific power consumption (i.e., the energy input normalized by the effective volume) increased, the oxidation progressed rapidly, however, the oxidation rate was varied depending on target compounds. Consequently, a threshold power consumption for each odorous compound needs to be experimentally determined for an effective application of the electrolytic oxidation.

본 연구에서는 염처리 음식물의 냄새성분 배출특성을 파악하고자 스팸을 조사대상으로 선정하여 시간경과에 따른 휘발성화학물질의 발생특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 총 9 일 동안 5 회에 걸쳐 시료를 채취 후 GC/MS 시스템과 GC/PFPD 시스템을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 연구기간 동안 환원황, 알데하이드, 케톤류의 냄새성분들이 주로 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 신선기에 해당하는 E-0, E-1일은 hydrogen sulfide의 농도가 각각 1465 ${\mu}g/m^3$ (60.0%), 455 ${\mu}g/m^3$ (28.0%)로 가장 높게 나타났다. OAV (악취활성값) 또한 E-0 일은 19.4 (78.3%), E-1 일은 6.02 (41.7%)로 가장 높게 나타났다. 부패기에 해당하는 E-3, E-6, E-9일에는 ketone류의 acetone이 각각 451 (43.2%), 369 (64.2%), 1150 ${\mu}g/m^3$ (70.2%)로 나타났다. 그 뒤를 이어 2,3-butanedione이 각각 17.6 (1.68%), 16.1 (2.80%), 179 ${\mu}g/m^3$ (10.9%)로 나타났다. 이들 성분의 실질적인 냄새 기여도를 OAV로 비교하면, acetone은 0.001 (0.01%)이하로 미미한 수준이지만, 2,3-butanedione은 1.14-11.6 (14.5-76.2%)으로 높게 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과, 신선기에는 환원황 그룹, 신선기와 부패기의 중간 시점에는 알데하이드 그룹, 부패기에는 케톤 그룹 성분들이 가장 중요한 냄새 요인으로 작용하는 것을 확인하였다.
