Gel polymer electrolytes were prepared by immersing a porous poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) membrane in an electrolyte solution containing small amounts of polymerizable additive (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene, thiophene, biphenyl). The organic additives were electrochemically oxidized to form conductive polymer films on the electrode at high potential. With the gel polymer electrolytes containing different organic additive, lithium-ion polymer cells composed of carbon anode and LiCo$O_2$ cathode were assembled and their cycling performances were evaluated. Adding small amounts of thiophene or 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene to the gel polymer electrolyte was found to reduce the charge transfer resistance in the cell and it thus exhibited less capacity fading and better high rate performance.

The concentrations of organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) in fine aerosols were determined from the samples collected at the two background sites of Kosan in Cheju Island and Kangwha. Samplings were carried out during the spring and winter of 1996 and the fall and winter of 1997. PM25 particles were collected on the prefired quartz filters for 24 hours and analyzed by the selective thermal oxidation method. The concentrations of OC at the sites were higher than those commonly observed from clean areas around the world, but those of EC at both sites were lower than, or comparable to, other clean areas in the world. Both the OC and EC levels at Kangwha were higher than those at Kosan. According to backward trajectory analysis, most air pollutants collected at the two sites were from China. It was found that the OC and EC concentrations in air masses from southern China were higher than those from northern China.

Seasonal variation of biogeochemical characteristics was determined in Lake Shihwa from October 2002 to August 2003. When the lake was artificially constructed for the freshwater reservoir in 1988, the development of the strong haline density stratification resulted in two-layered system in water column and hypoxic/anoxic environment prevailed in the bottom layer due to oxidation of accumulated organic matters in the lake. Recently, seawater flux to the lake through the sluice has been increased to improve water quality in the lake since 2000, but seasonal stratification and hypoxic bottom layer of the lake still developed in the summer due to the nature of artificially enclosed lake system. As the lake is still receiving tremendous amount of organic matters and other pollutants from neighboring streams during the rainy summer season, limited seawater flux sluicing into the lake may not be enough for the physical and biogeochemical mass balance especially in the summer. The excess of accumulated organic matters in the bottom layer apparently exhausted dissolved oxygen and affected biogeochemical distributions and processes of organic and inorganic compounds in the stratified two-layered environment in the summer. During the summer, ammonia and dissolved organic carbon remarkably increased in the bottom layer due to the hypoxic/anoxic condition in the bottom layer. Phosphate also increased as the result of benthic flux from the bottom sediment. Meanwhile, dissolved organic carbon showed the highest value at the upstream area and decreased along the salinity gradient in the lake. In addition to the sources from the upstream, autochthonous origin of particulate organic carbon from algal bloom in the lake might be more important for sustaining aggravated water quality and development of deteriorated bottom environment in the summer. The removal of trace metals could be attributed to scavenging by strong insoluble metal-sulfide compounds in the hypoxic/anoxic bottom layer in the summer.

Pillared clays with Zr and Fe/Cu/Zr polycations have been prepared from natural clays found in large deposits of Kazakhstan and assessed as catalysts for the catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO), using 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) as model compound. The performance of the catalysts was followed by measuring the concentration of 4-NP, H₂O₂ and the total organic carbon (TOC), considering C_4-NP = 5 g L^-1, $C_{H_2O_2}$ = 17.8 g L^-1, C_cat = 2.5 g L^-1, initial pH = 3.0 and T = 50℃. At those selected conditions, the pillared clays showed higher activity than natural clays in the CWPO of 4-NP. The conversion of the model pollutant was complete when Fe/Cu/Zr-PILCs were used, with the TOC removal reaching 78.4% after 24 h with the best Fe/Cu/Zr-PILC. The H₂O₂, 4-NP and TOC time-evolution was well described by a kinetic model based on TOC lumps in three blocks, considering the initial TOC (corresponding to 4-NP), the production of oxidizable intermediates and the formation of refractory products.

The simulated dyes solution containing Basic Red 46(BR 46), Yellow 21(Y 21), and Maxilon Blue 30(MB 30) were electrochemically oxidized using carbon fiber as an anode. The electrolyses were performed in a electrolytic flow cell constructed by Vycor glass tube. The carbon fiber was positioned in the inside of Vycor glass tube and platinum wire coiled around outside of tube as a cathode. Several operating variables, such as current, time, pH and flow rate of solution were studied. Increasing current density would lead to a corresponding increase in the dye removal efficiency 99.2 % at a 200 mA. The electrolyses time could also improve and removal efficiency was about 99 % after 1.5 hours of electrolyses. The removal efficiency was increased with the increase of flow rate of solution and optimum flow rate was 5 mL/min. THe pHs of solution affect the removal efficiency. The removal efficiency was decreased with the increase of pH of solution and optimum pH was 5.05 (0.1 M $KNO_3$).

상압유통식 고정층반응기를 이용하여 전이금속을 ALO-6에 담지한 촉매상에서 휘발성유기화합물인 벤젠, 톨루엔, 자일렌의 촉매산화에 관하여 조사하였다. 15% 전이금속/ALO-6 촉매상에서 톨루엔의 완전산화반응에 대한 활성의 크기는 Cu>Mn>Fe>V>Mo>Co>Ni>Zn의 순서였다. 15% Cu/ALO-6 촉매에서 소성온도의 증가는 비표면적을 감소시켰고 결과적으로 활성은 감소하였다. Cu/ALO-6촉매계에서 Cu의 담지량이 5%일 때 활성이 우수하였다. 5% Cu/ALO-6촉매상에서 벤젠, 톨루엔, 자일렌은 반응온도 $380^{\circ}C$, 접촉시간 4.5 g-cat.hr./g-mole 이상일 때 이산화탄소로 완전산화 되었다. 반응물에 따른 활성순서는 톨루엔>자일렌>벤젠 이었다. 반응물의 농도가 증가함에 따라 self-poison 에 기인하여 활성은 감소하였다.

초임계 이산화탄소내에서 방향족 유기용매(BTX)를 0.5% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 촉매가 충전된 고정층 반응기를 이용하여 완전분해를 시도하였다. BTX의 전환율은 반응기 입구에서 유기용매의 농도와 초임계 이산화타소의 몰밀도에 의존하는데, 입구농도가 감소함에 따라 전환율은 크게 증가되었고, 일정한 입구농도에서 온도 증가에 따라 반응은 잘 진행되어 전환율이 증가됨을 알 수 있었다. 동일 온도에서 압력이 증가함에 따라 큰 전환율을 보임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 실험조건 $300^{\circ}C$, 204.1 atm에서 benzene은 98.5% 이상의 전환율로 거의 완전산화 되었고, toluene과 xylene의 전환율은 $350^{\circ}C$, 204.1 atm의 조건에서 각각 82.0, 76.5%로 나타났다. 부분산화에 의한 중간생성물의 크로마토그램을 확인한 결과 중간생성물은 benzaldehyde, phenol, benzenemethanol 등으로 확인되었다. 충분한 산화반응 조건하에서 BTX가 중간생성물 없이 환경에 크게 영향을 미치지 않는 $CO_2$와 $H_2O$의 분해생성물로 분해가 가능한 것으로 판단되었다.

Adsorption and subsequent catalytic reactions of ethanol and acetaldehyde on chemically modified rutile TiO2(001) surfaces are probed by x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) using synchrotron radiation. TiO2 is a well-known photocatalyst for various catalytic reactions including oxidation of organic molecules. In this respect, the surface atomic structure has been found to play a vital role in determining the catalytic reactivity and selectivity of TiO2. In this study, we employ an atomically well-ordered reduced TiO2(001) surface which is prepared in a UHV chamber by repeated Ar+-sputtering and annealing (900 K) cycles. We systematically modify the surface by treating the surface with H2O or O2 at room temperature (RT). The catalytic reactivity of the surface-modified TiO2(001) is evaluated by dosing ethanol/acetaldehyde onto the surface at RT and by subsequent annealing to higher temperatures (400~600 K). XPS spectra of C 1s core level are intensively used to probe any change in the oxidation state of carbon atoms. We find that the reactivity as well as the saturation coverage are significantly affected by the RT-treatment of the TiO2 surface with H2O or O2. For both reactant molecules (ethanol/acetaldehyde), oxidation reactions are found to be enhanced on the O2-treated surface compared with the reduced or H2O-treated surfaces. Possibly reaction pathways are discussed based on the observed XPS spectra.

천연유기물질은 지표수와 지하수내 탁도를 유발하고 humic (humic acid와 fulvic acid)과 nonhumic 성분으로 구성된다. 일반적으로 NOM은 소독부산물(DBP) 전구물질로써 수처리시 관심의 대상이 된다. 원수의 특성은 정수공정의 선택과 적용에 중요한 정보를 제공한다. 수원에 따른 NOM의 상당한 차이가 다양한 원수들 사이에서 관찰되었고, 문제시되는 NOM을 제거하고 전환시키기 위한 목적으로 정수공정을 적용한다. 본 연구의 결과, 산화처리에 의해 전체 DOC 농도의 변화는 거의 없었지만, 고분자의 소수성 물질이 저분자의 친수성 물질로 전환되었고, 염소보다 오존의 경우 그 산화력의 차이 때문에 SUVA 값의 감소가 더 크게 나타났다. 응집처리에 의해 hydrophilic 성분보다 분자량이 더 큰 hydrophobic 성분이 응집 침전되어 훨씬 잘 제거되었다. THMFP는 50% 정도까지 제거되었는데, 이것은 상대적으로 THMFP를 잘 유발시킨다는 humic acid 성분의 제거가 원활하게 일어났기 때문이다.
