The fail safety filter is an assistant filter element to be mounted in order to intercept the particles leaked when the main filter elements are broken. So it should have two contrary functions of being plugged easily to meet the purpose of dust sealing and a high permeability to save the space. The permeability of the metal filter elements were effectively controlled by the following factor: powder size(53-840 ${\mu}m$) and applied pressure(1000-2000 $kgf/cm^2$), and then the compact were sintered for 1 hour at $1200^{\circ}C$ in vacuum sintering furnace. The sintered metal filters was evaluated for the function of the fail safety filter in an experimental unit. The maximum allowable particle size was 420-840 ${\mu}m$, when a CIP pressure of 1500 $kgf/cm^2$ was applied reveals a permeability of about $1.2{\times}10^{10}m^2$ and pore size of about 60 ${\mu}m$. The metal filter produced with stainless steel powder of 480-840 ${\mu}m$ size, which presented excellent permeability than commercial ceramic filter element and plugged with in 3 minutes with the leak of the maximum particle size less than 3 ${\mu}m$.

현장에서 일반적으로 성토체의 다짐도 판정을 위해 사용되는 방법으로 들밀도시험이나 밀도계에 의한 측정 등이 사용되는데 이 방법들을 적용시 성토재료에 입경의 크기가 비교적 큰 조립자가 일정량 포함되어 있다. 조립자는 밀도가 흙 보다 높기 때문에 조립자를 고려하지 않고 현장에서 측정한 밀도를 실내다짐시험(KS F 2312, 2001)에서 얻은 최대건조밀도와 비교하여 다짐도 만족 여부를 판단하게 되면 다짐도는 과대평가 된다. 하지만 현재 우리나라 규정에는 조립자율에 따른 보정 방법이 명확하게 제시되어 있지 않아 큰 하중이 작용하거나 다짐이 매우 중요한 구조물 등에서는 다짐도의 기준을 더 크게 적용하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국외의 여러 가지 조립자 보정 방법을 종합하고 분석하여 우리나라의 실내다짐시험 방법, 허용최대입경 차이 등을 고려하여 적용 할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였고, 제안된 방법에 의해 실내다짐시험과 현장에서의 들밀도시험을 수행하고 다짐도를 재평가 하였다. 그 결과 제안된 조립자 보정 방법에 의해 재산정된 다짐도는 조립자율이 높을수록 감소하여 조립자 보정을 하지 않았을 경우 다짐도는 과대평가되는 것으로 분석되었고, 조립자 보정을 통해서 산정된 다짐도를 실제 현장에 적용 할 경우, 추후 유지 보수 측면에서 더 효율적인 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: Particle separation in solution is one of important process in a unit operation as well as in an extract preparation for biosensors. Contrary to centrifuge-type of mesh-type filter, using an ultrasonic standing wave make the filtering process continuous and free from maintenance. It is needed to investigate the characteristics of particle movement in the ultrasonic standing wave field. Methods: Through the computer simulation the effects of major design and driving parameters on the alignment characteristics of particles were investigated, and a cylindrical chamber with up-stream flow type was devised using two circular-shape PZTs on both sides of the chamber, one for transmitting ultrasonic wave and the other for just reflecting it. Then, the system performance was experimentally investigated as well. Results: The speed of a particle to reach pressure-node plane increased as the acoustic pressure and size of particle increased. The maximum allowable up-stream flow rate could be calculated as well. As expected, exact numbers of pressure-node planes were well formed at specific locations according to the wavelength of ultrasonic wave. As the driving frequency of PZT got close to its resonance frequency, the bands of particles were observed clearer, which meant the particles were trapped into narrower space. Higher excitation voltages to the PZT produced a greater acoustic force with which to trap particles in the pressure-node planes, so that the particles gathered could move upwards without disturbing their alignments even at a higher inlet flow rate. Conclusions: This research showed the feasibility of particle separation in solution in the continuous way by an ultrasonic standing wave. Further study is needed to develop a device to collect or harvest those separated particles.
