The essence of subgrade mud pumping under train load is the migration of fine particles in subgrade soil. The migration of fine particles will change the pore structure of overlying ballast, thus affecting the mechanical properties and hydraulic properties of ballast layer. It is of great theoretical significance and engineering value to study the effect of fine particle migration on the pore structure of ballast layer under cyclic loading. In this paper, a tailor-made subgrade mud pumping test model and an X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning equipment were used to study the influence of migration of fine particles in subgrade soil on the pore parameters (plane porosity, volume porosity, pore distribution and pore connectivity) of overlying ballast under cyclic loading. The results show that the compression of ballast pores and the blockage of migrated fine particles make the porosity of ballast layer decreases gradually. And the percentage of small pores in ballast layer increases, while the percentage of large pores decreases; the connectivity of pores also gradually decreases. Based on the test results, an empirical model of ballast porosity evolution under cyclic loading is established and verified.

대표적인 단백질 물질인 bovine serum albumin(BSA), lysozyme, pepsin, casein 그리고 ovalbumin의 이성분계 단백질 혼합물의 미세 분리 막에서 보이는 막 오염 현상에 관한 실험을 고찰하였다. 트랙 에치법에 의해 제조된 $0.2{\mu}m$ 폴리카보네이트 미세 막을 이용하여 단백질 혼합물 용액의 조성과 종류가 여과유량감속에 미치는 영향에 대한 실험을 일정한 압력(14 kPa)과 수소이온농도(pH=11) 하에서 수행하였다. 각각의 이성분 단백질 혼합물에 대한 막오염 현상을 확인하였으며, 유량 감속 데이터는 최근에 개발된 pore blockage-cake formation 모델을 이용하여 분석한 결과, 실험 결과와 일치하였다. 이성분계 단백질 혼합물의 조성과 단백질 종류가 막오염 및 유속변화에 미치는 영향은 공극막힘속도(${\alpha}$), 단백질 침적층의 초기 저항($R_{po}$) 및 단백질 저항의 증가속도(${\beta}$)에 의해 설명 할 수 있었다. 대체로 공극막힘속도의 변화는 유속감소현상과 일치함을 알 수 있으며, 특히 casein이 존재하는 단백질 혼합물에서의 급격한 유량감속은 casein에 의한 단백질 침적층의 초기저항에 크게 기인된 것으로 판단된다.

Adsorption equilibrium and kinetic behavior of two toxic heavy metals hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] and mercury [Hg(II)] on mustard oil cake (MOC) was studied. Isotherm of total chromium was of concave type (S1 type) suggesting cooperative adsorption. Total chromium adsorption followed BET isotherm model. Isotherm of Hg(II) was of L3 type with monolayer followed by multilayer formation due to blockage of pores of MOC at lower concentration of Hg(II). Combined BET-Langmuir and BET-Freundlich models were appropriate to predict Hg(II) adsorption data on MOC. Boyd's model confirmed that external mass transfer was rate limiting step for both total chromium and Hg(II) adsorptions with average diffusivity of $1.09{\times}10^{-16}$ and $0.97m^2/sec$, respectively. Desorption was more than 60% with Hg(II), but poor with chromium. The optimum pH for adsorptions of total chromium and Hg(II) were 2-3 and 5, respectively. At strong acidic pH, Cr(VI) was adsorbed by ion exchange mechanism and after adsorption reduced to Cr(III) and remained on MOC surface. Hg(II) removal was achieved by complexation of $HgCl_2$ with deprotonated amine ($-NH_2$) and carboxyl (COO-) groups of MOC.

기존의 Mualem의 Model III-1에서 공기가 공극으로 진입할 때 이에 대한 공극들의 방해효과를 설명하는 가중치(加重値) $P_a({\theta})$가 무차원 공극반경과 선형적 관계를 가진다는 가정을 바탕으로 하여 모형의 검정을 위하여 한 개의 주곡선이 필요한 새로운 모형을 개발하였다. 개발된 모형은 모형의 검정을 위하여 기존에 제시된 바 있는 한 개의 주곡선이 필요한 모형들보다 실측치를 잘 모의하며, 한쌍의 주곡선이 필요한 영역모형중에서 이력현상을 모형화하는 목적에 가장 부합한 Model III-1과의 비교에서 개발된 모형은 거의 같은 정확성을 가지면서 실측자료를 재현하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 개발된 모형은 비포화 흐름을 해석할 때 효율적으로 적용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The Purpose of this study is to classify existing hysteresis models and to discuss a possibility of a new type of the hysteresis model. The existing hysteresis models are classified into three types: the interpolation model, the scaling model and the domain model, of which only domain model is to simulate hysteresis curves based on the theoretical approach, It is useful to develop a hysteresis model that requires only one branch of hysteresis curves for the model calibration because obtaining hysteresis curves by experiments is expensive and time-concept by many investigators, however their models are not successful to accurately simulate real data of Rubicon Sandy Loam and Dune Sand. There is a possibility that a new model is based on the dependent domain concept considering the weighting factor, $P_a$($\theta$), which accounts for the pore blockage effect against air entry. Conclusively, a new model where the weighting factor $P_a$($\theta$) in Model III-1 (Mualem, 1984) reduces to a known variable through an appropriate method is an alternative model which required only one branch of main curves for the model calibration.

Various Models of the moisture content-capillary pressure hysteresie based on the approach of domain concept in porous media are compared with each other, Model III-1(Mualem, 1984) is superio to others as expected. A new model based on Model III-1 is proposed of which asuumption is the linearization of P$$($\theta$) accounting for the pore blockage effect against air-entry. The feature of this model is that only one branch of boundary curve is needed to calibrate it, which is the advantage to Model III-1. The prediction of boundary drying curve from boundary wetting curve using this model is better than that using Model I-1, II-1 compared with the experimental data. This model is to simulate scanning curves, while Model I-1, II-1 is not.

Spent activated carbons (SACs) collected from a water treatment plant were regenerated and then adopted as electrochemical material in capacitors. The SACs used in this study were regenerated via two steps, namely thermal and chemical activation. However, during the activation process, the adsorbates were converted into ashes, which caused pore blockage and decreased specific surface area. The regenerated SACs were washed with acid solutions with different levels of acidity (strong: HCl, mild: H₃PO₄, and weak: H₂O₂) to remove the ashes. The regenerated SACs washed with HCl exhibited the highest specific surface area, although their capacitance was not the highest. Conversely, the specific surface area of regenerated SACs washed using H₃PO₄ was slightly lower than that of HCl, but exhibited higher capacitance and electrochemical stability. Although the strong acid removed the generated ashes in the pores efficiently, it could adversely affect their structural stability, which would lead to lower capacitance.

FER, MFI, MOR, BEA 제올라이트 촉매에서 n-옥탄의 분해반응을 양성자 분해반응(protolytic cracking mechanism) 기구로 해석하여 제올라이트의 세공구조가 생성물 분포와 활성저하에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 세공이 작으면 분해반응이 많이 진행되어 $C_3$와 $C_3{^=}$가 주로 생성되나, 세공이 큰 제올라이트에서는 초기 생성물인 $C_4$와 $C_4{^=}$가 주로 생성된다. MFI 제올라이트에서는 탄소 침적이 억제되어 활성저하가 느리나, FER 제올라이트에서는 탄소가 많이 침적되어 촉매 활성이 빠르게 저하되었다. BEA 제올라이트에서는 탄소가 많이 침적되어도 활성저하가 느리나, MOR 제올라이트에서는 탄소가 조금만 침적되어도 활성저하가 빨랐다. n-옥탄 분해반응의 기구를 단순화하고 탄소 침적에 의한 세공 차폐 정도를 활성저하와 연관지어 반응시간에 따른 전환율 저하 과정을 모사하였다.

Industrialization and modern developments have led to an influx of toxic heavy metals into the aquatic environment, and the accumulation of heavy metals has serious adverse effects on humans. Among the various heavy metal treatment methods, adsorption is very useful and frequently used. Plastic materials, such as polypropylene and polyethylene, have been widely used as filter media due to their mechanical and chemical stability. However, the surface of plastic material is inert and therefore the adsorption capability of heavy metals is very limited. In this study, granular media and fiber media composed of polypropylene and polyethylene are used, and the surface modification was conducted in order to increase adsorption capability toward heavy metals. Oxygen plasma generated hydroxyl groups on the surface of the media to activate the surface, and then acrylic acid was synthesized on the surface. The grafted carboxyl group was confirmed by FT-IR and SEM. Heavy metal adsorption capability of pristine and surface modified adsorbents was also evaluated. Overall, heavy metal adsorption capability was increased by surface modification due to electrostatic interaction between the carboxyl groups and heavy metal ions. Fibrous PP/PE showed lower improvement compared to granular PP media because pore blockage occurred by the surface modification step, thereby inhibiting mass transfer.

본 연구의 목적은 기존에 발표된 이력현상 모형들을 분류하여 각 모형들의 특징을 비교하고 새로운 이력현상 모형의 형태에 대해 논하고자 한다. 기존에 발표된 이력현상 모형은 내삽모형, 축척모형과 영역모형으로 대별되며, 그중 영역모형만이 이론적 배경을 가지고 있다. 모형의 보정을 위해 한 개의 주곡선의 자료가 필요한 기존의 모형들의 타당성을 검증하기 위하야 Rubicon Sandy Loam과 Dune Sand의 실측자료와 비교하여 본 겨롸, 이들 모형들은 실측자료를 잘 모사할 수 없음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 새로운 모형의 형태의 가능성을 종속여역모형에서 찾을수 있으며, 종속영역모형주에서도 순수한 매체에 대해 공극으로 공기의 진입에 대한 이웃하는 공극들의 방해효과의 정도를 설명하는 가중치를 도입한 모형(Model III-1, Mualem, 1984)을 단순화시키기 위해 이 모형에 적절한 가정을 부가한 형태의 모형이 새로운 형태의 모형에 대한 하나의 대안이 될 수 있음을 본 연구는 제시하고 있다.
