The electromembrane process, which has advantages such as scalability, sustainability, and eco-friendliness, is used in renewable energy fields such as fuel cells and reverse electrodialysis power generation. Most of the research to visualize the internal flow in the electromembrane process has mainly been conducted on heterogeneous ion exchange membranes, because of the non-uniform swelling characteristics of the homogeneous membrane. In this study, we successfully visualize the electro-convective vortices near the Nafion homogeneous membrane in PDMS-based microfluidic devices. To reinforce the mechanical rigidity and minimize the non-uniform swelling characteristics of the homogeneous membrane, a newly developed swelling supporter was additionally adapted to the Nafion membrane. Thus, a clear image of electroconvective vortices near the Nafion membrane could be obtained and visualized. As a result, we observed that the heterogeneous membrane has relatively stronger electroconvective vortices compared to the Nafion homogeneous membranes. Regarding electrical response, the Nafion membrane has a higher limiting current and less overlimiting current compared to the heterogeneous membrane. Based on our visualization, it is assumed that the heterogeneous membrane has more activated electroconvective vortices, which lower electrical resistance in the overlimiting current regime. We anticipate that this work can contribute to the fundamental understanding of the ion transport characteristics depending on the homogeneity of ion exchange membranes.

막을 도구로 하여 물가등(Ion, Molecular)의 선택 분리 및 정제과정법에 대한 연구는 눈부신 발전을 가져 왔다. 콜로디온 막으로 투석과 한외 여과법이 나온 이래 1950년대 Juda의 연구 이온 교환법의 보고 후 전기투석법에 의한 바닷물의 담수화 농축 방법이 개발되고 Soeb, Sourirajan의 초산 셀루로즈 막의 보고는 Salt의 배제율이 높은 베막 법이 소개 된 후에 다양한 막의 응용법이 전개되었다. 막소제, 제막법, 고 분리기능막, 막형태, 얇은막, 막장치에 이르기 까지 막학 연구의 관심을 모아졌다.

The soluble cytochrome c-551 of photosynthetic bacterium, Rhodopseudomonas gelatinosa ATCC 17013 was purified through a sequene of four step chromatography including CM-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography, DEAE-Sephacel chromatography, Sephacryl s-200 gel permeation chromatography, and HPLC (SP-5PW). The molecular weight of the purified cytochrome c-551 was 14, 600 Da, and this protein shows the absorption peak at 551 nm, 522 nm, and 417 nm as the reduced form, and at 412 nm as the oxidized form. The cytochrome c-551 seems to be a substrate for the terminal oxidase in the electron transport chain.

이온선혼합의 열충격으로 야기되는 등방저기 또는 이방적 원자이동을 정량적으로 묘사하기 위한 모형을 제시하였다. 불순문 확산에서 원자들의 이동비는 구성원자들의 활성화에너지에 의존한다. 이 모형은 0에 가까운 혼합열과 비교적 높은 활성화에너지를 가진 이중층들의 실험결과들을 만족스럽게 예견한다. 불순물 확산에서 구성원자들의 활성화에너지가 크게 차이가 나는 계들은 이방적 원자이동을 보여주는 반면, 비슷한 활성화에너지를 가지는 계들은 등방적 원자이동을 나타낸다.

High concentration of PM10 was reported on late July, 2005 in Seoul along with high particulate ion concentrations in PM2.5. To identify the reason for the severe air pollution episode, time series analysis of the PM10 concentration in the monitoring sites over Korea, wind sector analysis, trend analysis of the ion concentrations, and air mass trajectory analysis were carried out. It was found that the episode could be classified into two separate periods; first one between July 22 and 27 and second one between July 28 and 31. During the first period, the PM10 concentrations at Seoul were in good correlation with the PM10 concentration three hours before at Chuncheon. Trajectory analysis showed that air mass moved from north and turned to west at Kangwon province to Seoul. The concentrations of PM10 mass and ionic species were lower than the second period. During the second period, air mass moved from northern China to Seoul directly and the PM10 concentrations all over the mid-Korean peninsula showed the same trend. These observations suggest that the air pollution during the second period was affected by direct transport of air pollutants from northern China. Thus, the air quality at Seoul during both periods were influenced by long-range transport from outside rather than by local sources, but with different transport patterns.

In the present study, disc-type LSCF/GDC (20 : 80 vol%) dual-phase membranes having porous LSC/GDC (50 : 50 vol%) active layers were prepared and effect of active layers on oxygen ion transport behavior was investigated. Introduction of active layers improved drastically oxygen flux due to enhanced electron conductivity and oxygen surface exchange activity. As firing temperature of active layer increased from $900^{\circ}C$ to $1000^{\circ}C$, oxygen flux increased due to improved contact between membrane and active layer or between grains of active layer. The enhanced contact would improve oxygen ion and electron transports from active layer to membrane. Also, as thickness of active layer increased from 10 to $20{\mu}m$, oxygen flux decreased since thick active layer rather prevented oxygen molecules diffusing through the pores. And, STF infiltration improved oxygen flux due to enhanced oxygen reduction reaction rate. The experimental data announces that coating and property control of active layer is an effective method to improve oxygen flux of dual-phase oxygen transport membrane.

In the compacted bentonite containing $Ag_2O$, the transport of iodide ion was investigated by Through-diffusion method. It is confirmed that Iodide ion is transported by diffusion process in the compacted bentonite containing $Ag_2O$ as well as in the compacted bentonite without $Ag_2O$. However, the lag-time of iodide ion in the compacted bentonite containing $Ag_2O$ is larger than that in the compacted bentonite without $Ag_2O$. The increase of the lag-time was observed in pure iodide ion solution and also in 0.1M NaCl-iodide ion solution. The apparent diffusion coefficient of iodide ion in the compacted bentonite containing $Ag_2O$ has lower value than that in the compacted bentonite without $Ag_2O$. The effect of $Ag_2O$ on the effective diffusion coefficient was not clearly investigated in the compacted bentonite containing $Ag_2O$ while the values of effective diffusion coefficient of iodide ion in the compacted bentonite without $Ag_2O$ obtained in this study were similar to those in the compacted bentonite reported in the literature.
