The increasing demand for materials, energy and products drives chemical engineers to propose new solutions everyday able to promote development while supporting sustainable industrial growth. Membrane engineering can offer significant assets to this development. Here, they are identified the most interesting aspects of membrane engineering in strategic industrial sectors such as water treatment, energy production and depletion and reuse of raw materials. The opportunity to integrate membrane units with innovative systems to exploit the potential advantages derived from their synergic uses is also emphasized. The analysis of the potentialities of these new technologies is supported by the introduction of process intensification metrics which provide an alternative and innovative point of view regarding the unit performance, highlighting important aspects characterizing the technology and not identified by the conventional analysis of the unit performance.

신재생에너지에 대한 세계적인 수요는 2010년도 이후에도 계속 증가하는 추세이다. 이러한 이유는 에너지 고갈과 기후변화에 기인하며, 화석연료의 경우 사용가능 연한은 석유 54.2년, 천연가스 63.6년, 석탄 112년에 불과하며, 기존 화석연료 사용에 의한 온실가스 배출 등은 각종 환경문제를 발생하고 있다. 따라서 세계 여러 나라에서는 에너지 고갈을 해결하기 위한 다양한 방안을 모색중이며, 대안으로 신재생에너지를 인류의 새로운 에너지원으로 주목하고 있다. 하지만 물, 바람, 태양 등 신재생에너지원의 경우 출력특성 등이 매우 불안하여 이들 에너지원을 효율적으로 사용하기 위해서는 반드시 에너지저장시스템(ESS, Energy Storage System)이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 태양광 가로등을 대상으로 기존의 납축전지를 대체하기 위한 리튬이차전지를 사용한 배터리팩을 개발하고 표준화 및 범용화를 위해 셀들의 조합을 용이하게 하기 위한 유니버셜 모듈을 제안한다.

최근 스마트폰 시장은 기하급수적인 성장세를 지속하고 있다. 또한 소비자들의 사용패턴 또한 기존의 음성통화에서 데이터 통신으로 변화되면서 소비전류 및 사용시간이 증대되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 사용자의 불만을 해소하기 위해서는 배터리의 용량 증대가 필요하나 공간상의 제약으로 인해 한계점에 도달한 상태이다. 따라서 제한된 체적내에서 최대의 용량을 사용하기 위해 배터리팩의 과충전 차단전압은 점차 높아지고 과방전 차단전압은 점차 낮아져서 배터리팩의 가용영역을 확대하고 있는 추세에 있다. 이러한 사용전압영역의 확대는 배터리팩의 안전성 및 수명 등에 악영향을 미치나 배터리의 신소재 개발, 보호회로의 채용 등으로 이러한 단점을 보완하고 있다.

A number of wooden built heritage remain in Korea, and most have been damaged by various biological factors including termite. Owing to the irreversible damage caused by termites, wooden built heritage are losing their authenticity and structural stability. In this study, Area-Wide Integrated Termite Management(AW-ITM) was proposed to prevent termite damage. First, to understand the locational characteristics of these sites, the distance from adjacent forests and surrounding forest areas was analyzed for 182 national designated wooden built heritage(national treasures, treasures) using the Geographic Information System(GIS). By analyzing existing pest control projects(2003-2020) and the components of the ITM, the characteristics of termite control for cultural heritages were determined. Based on these results, the cultural heritage sites and their surrounding spaces were divided into three areas, and the types of cultural properties were divided into six types according to the location and number of buildings. Along with this, termite control measures were proposed for each area and type. The concept of AW-ITM has been partially applied to the "Comprehensive Control of Termites in wooden built heritages Sites" by the Cultural Heritage Administration. Caution must be taken with regard to the establishment of a cultural heritage management policy; AW-ITM should be applied on a trial basis with the results then being carefully analyzed and reflected in the establishment of policies pertaining to the conservation management of cultural heritage.

The solubility of aluminum for two Andisol profiles formed on pyroclastic materials and basaltic rocks from Jeju Island, Korea was investigated. It is found that high organic carbon content and $Al_{pyrophosphate}/Al_{oxalate}$ ratios in the A horizons, suggesting the substantial amounts of reactive Al are associated with organic matter, whereas the low organic carbon content and the $Al_{pyrophosphate}/Al_{oxalate}$ ratios in the Bo horizons indicate that a major part of the reactive Al should be bound inorganically. The differential FT-IR spectra following acid-oxalate dissolution and heating up to 150 and $350^{\circ}C$, and transmission electron microscope (TEM) observation confirm that imogolite is in the Bo horizon. Our results of equilibration experiments demonstrate that the Al solubility in the Bo horizon for Andisols can be clarified by the congruent dissolution model for imogolite-type material (ITM), rather than by the simultaneous equilibrium with both ITM and Al hydroxy-interlayered aluminosilicate. With results from dialysis and aging procedures, it is noted that the formation of a proto imogolite sol showing its transformation to imogolite, which supports the congruent dissolution of ITM primarily controlling the Al solubility of Andisols in Jeju Island, Korea.

The production of CO-free hydrogen streams for feeding PEM-Fuel Cells using catalytic zeolite membrane reactors was analysed by means of selective oxidation. Tubular FAU (Na-Y) zeolite membranes, prepared by a secondary growth method and Pt-loaded, were used in a flow-through MR configuration. The catalytic tests were carried out at $200^{\circ}C$ and at different pressures with a simulated dry reformate shifted gas mixture ($H_2$ ca. 60%, CO 1 %, plus $O_2,\;N_2,\;CO_2$). The operative $O_2/CO$ stoichiometric equivalent feed ratio was ${\lambda}= 2$. These catalytic tests, reducing the CO concentration down to $10{\sim}50$ ppm, verified the possibility of MR integration after using a low temperature water-gas shift unit of a fuel processor to convert hydrocarbons into hydrogen-rich gas.

Membrane assisted condenser is an innovative membrane operation that exploits the hydrophobic nature of microporous membranes to promote water vapor condensation and recovery. It can be used for water and chemicals recovery from waste gaseous streams. In this work, the testing of membrane condenser for water and ammonia recovery from synthetic streams (i.e., a saturated air stream with ammonia) simulating the plume of cooling tower is illustrated. The modeling of the process was carried out for predicting the membrane-based process performance and for identifying the minimum operating conditions for effectively recovering liquid water. The experimental data were compared with the results achieved through the simulations showing good agreement and confirming the validity of the model. It was found that the recovery of water can be increased growing the temperature difference between the plume and the membrane module (DT), the relative humidity of the plume (RH^plume) and the feed flow rate on membrane area ratio. Moreover, the concentration of NH₃ in the recovered liquid water increased with the growing DT, at increasing NH₃ concentration in the fed gaseous stream and at growing relative humidity of the feed.

In semiconductor industries, dissolved oxygen is one of the most undesirable contaminants of ultrapure water. A method for dissolved oxygen removal (DOR) consists in the use of polymeric hollow fibres, loaded with a catalyst and fed with a reducing agent such as hydrogen. In this work, PVDF hollow fibres loaded with Pd were characterized by means of perporometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). The hollow fibre analyzed shows a five-layer structure with remarkable morphological differences. An estimation of pore diameters and their distribution was performed giving a mean pore diameter of 100 nm. The permeance and selectivity of the fibres were measured using $H_2,\;N_2,\;O_2$ as single gases, at different operating conditions. An $H_2$ permeance of $37 mmol/m^2s$ was measured and $H_2/O_2$ and $H_2/N_2$ selectivities of ca. 3 were obtained. $H_2$ permeance was 1/3 when a water stream flows in the shell side. Catalytic fibrebehaviour was simulated using a mathematical model for a loop membrane reactor, considering only $O_2$ and $H_2$ diffusive transport inside the membrane and their catalytic reaction. Dimensionless parameters such as the Thiele modulus are employed to describe the system behaviour. The model agrees well with the experimental reaction data.

Aluminium-doped ZnO (ZnO:Al) films were grown by atomic layer-controlled deposition on glass substrates at temperature of 200 $^{\circ}C$ using diethylzinc($Zn(C_{2}H_{2})_{2}$; DEtZn), water($H_{2}O$) and trimethylaluminium ($Al(CH_{3})_{3}$; TMA) as precursors. As the cycle ratio of TMA to DEZn(TMA/DEZn) increased, the resistivity of the films decreased and the roughness increased. In the case of TMA/DEZn pulse ratio of 1 to 10, the film had a resistivity of $9.7{\times}l0^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and a roughness of 2.25nm(rms), while in the case of only DEZ injection the film had a resistivity of $3.5{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and a roughness of 1.07nm(rms)

이산화탄소 규제 대응 전략으로, 배출되는 온실가스를 분리, 회수, 처리하는 연구가 지속적으로 진행되고 있다. 현재 이산화탄소 저감 연구는 공정개발 초기부터 이산화탄소 배출을 방지하거나 분리하기 쉬운 형태로 설계하는 방식으로 전환되고 있다. 그 예로 고온 순산소 연소 시스템이 제안되었다. 이는 $CO_2$를 가장 효과적으로 저감시키는 방법 중의 하나로 연소에 사용되는 산화제로 순산소를 사용하여 원료를 절감할 수 있고 산소를 사용하기 때문에 배가스 중에 질소분율이 감소하여 배가스에 의한 현열손실을 줄일 수 있으며 또한 배가스 현열을 회수하여 산소를 고온으로 예열시켜 에너지를 추가적으로 절감할 수 있다. 이를 위해 산소를 선택적으로 투과시켜 고순도 산소를 제조할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 산소제조 장치비를 절감할 수 있는 ITM (Ion Transport Membrane) 신소재 및 산소 투과 공정을 개발하고자 한다.
