  • Tissue and paper manufacturing companies have common problems with increasing cost of imported virgin pulp and the restriction of using woods in the forest. Possibility of using bagasse pulp for solving those problems was studied. In order to reduce the production cost and study the dependency on pulps, bagasse pulp has been studied for mixing with Sw-BKP and Hw-BKP. Optimum blending ratio of wood pulps and bagasse pulp to enhance tissue properties were analyzed. Various properties of the hand sheet after blending of wood pulp and bagasse pulp were measured. As results, the bagasse pulp could substitute the hard wood pulp with similar properties of tissue. Therefore, we judged that the bagasse pulp was suitable for replacement of the hardwood pulp.

  • In Korea, sesame oil has been used as a flavor source mainly by edible oil since ancient times, and it has been used by domestic screw pressing. In the 1960's, the demand for edible oils and fats increased significantly due to the improvement of national income and changes in food consumption patterns. In the early 1970's, a few edible oil manufacturing companies with modern solvent extraction and refining plants were established. In Korea, edible oil manufacturers account for more than 85% of employees with 50 or fewer employees. In Korea, there is a very shortage of raw materials for edible oils and fats, domestic production of edible oil is decreasing year by year and import volume is continuously increasing. While importing the edible oil bearing ingredients including soybean and extracted oil in the past, recently mainly imports crude oil and refines it in Korea. Soybean oil, palm oil and tallow account for 70~90% of total imported edible oils. Due to the recent well-being trend, the demand for olive, canola and grapeseed oils as household edible oil has increased and the production of blended oil has been greatly increased. Since the late 1980's, people have recognized edible oil and fat as a food instead of seasoning ingredient and have increased their edible oil and fat intake in Korea. Since the early 2000's, refined oil and fat products produced in Korea have been exported and is increasing every year.

  • This study examined research trends in AI ethics education and attempted to suggest a direction for AI ethics education. As a result of the research, two studies were conducted in 2017. There are no studies in 2018 and 2019, and there are 6 studies in 2020. Since then, research has continued to increase, with 19 studies in 2021 and 18 studies in 2022. There were a total of 37 lead authors of the study. There were six lead authors who had published papers for more than two years, and two lead authors who had published papers for more than three years. In addition, to examine the details of AI ethics education, a total of 265 keywords that went through a refining process were divided into education-related, ethics-related, AI-related, and other-related. Although the necessity and importance of research on AI ethics education is expected to increase, there are not many researchers who continuously conduct research on AI ethics education. Accordingly, there is a need to find ways to continue research on AI ethics education. AI ethics education is being conducted under various names such as moral education, ethics education, liberal arts education, and AI education. Accordingly, research on AI ethics education at various levels and forms should be conducted, not just educational research on artificial intelligence ethics in terms of regular subjects.

  • Recently, the large amount of sulfur is globally generated by the development of the petroleum refining industry every year. In this study, without the use of the sulfur with a high melting point used in the previous studies, the modified sulfur mortar with addition of a melting point of about 65℃ were tested to determine their distribution and strength properties according to the mixing method and curing conditions. This study is a test to find out the Density, Absorption and Table Flow of the modified sulfur and general sulfur. As result, general industrial sulfur flow was lower, showed a high absorption rate.

  • Viscosity index is an arbitray number used to characterize the variation of lubricant viscosity with respect to temperature. It is well recognized in the oil industry that as refining severity increases, lubricant VI increases. Consequently, VI is often perceived as a measure of lubricant quality. Futhermore, a 95 VI minimum specification is commonly imposed in marketing base stocks. These factors provide the incentitive for this study to carefully analyze VI definition and two component viscosity blending techniques to investigate how they affect VI change, and finally to examine possible avenues to produce 95+VI base stocks by blending sub-95 VI base stocks.

  • Reducing the particle size of drug materials down to submicron is an important matter in pharmaceutical industry. Cryogenic milling technology is one of the mechanical milling processes, which is mostly utilized in refining grain size of metal and ceramics at extremely low temperature environment. This technique has not been readily studied in application to medical and biotechnology. This paper, therefore, describes the application of cryogenic milling process to reduce particle size of Ibuprofen. The shape and size of the Ibuprofen particle before and after the cryogenic ball milling process were analyzed. XRD analysis was performed to examine a change in crystallinity of Ibuprofen by the cryogenic ball milling process. The results showed that the size of Ibuprofen particles was reduced to 1/10 or less of its initial size. The results also showed that the degree of crystallinity of Ibuprofen was slightly reduced after cryogenic ball milling with nitrogen

  • Recently, regulatory bodies quite often encourage to adopt risk-based inspection (RBI) and management programs because they can enhance safety simultaneously with deregulation in Korea. RBI is an integrated methodology that factors risk into inspection and maintenance decision making. This paper describes an example of how to use known risk assessment codes (API 580, API 581 BRD) to address such safety analysis requirements for risk management in the refining industry. Specifically, this paper reports the methodology and the results of implementation to the Crude Distillation Unit(CDU) plant of refinery units using the $KGS-RBI^{TM}$ program, developed by the Korea Gas Safety Corporation in reference of API Codes and ASME PC (Post Construction) with a suitable consideration of Korean situation. The results of the risk and reliability assessment using $KGS-RBI^{TM}$ program are useful in determining whether the detected defects are tolerable or required to be repaired. The subsequent decisions are to manage the future inspection, repair and maintenance planning in the risk reduction control.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 실물옵션이론을 바탕으로 정유회사의 가치평가기법을 제공하는 것이다. 정유회사는 가치평가를 위해서 회계적 가치외에 관리적 유연성(managerial flexibility)을 고려해야 하기 때문에 기존의 DCF방법을 적용하기 보다는 실물옵션방법을 이용하여야 한다. 관리적 유연성은 회사관리자가 적용가능한 생산관리적 기법으로서 회사의 미래현금흐름에 영향을 주고 따라서 회사의 가치에 영향을 미친다. DCF방법은 이러한 관리적 유연성을 적절히 고려하지 못하여 회사의 가치를 저평가하는 오류를 발생시킨다. 반면 실물옵션방법은 관리적 유연성을 가치평가에 있어서 주요 변수를 인식하기 때문에 정확한 가치평가의 수단이 된다. 옵션가격결정을 위한 기초자산은 크랙스프레드(crack Spread)이다. 크랙스프레드는 경유(heating oil)와 무연휘발유(unleaded gasoline)의 가격과 원유(crude oil) 가격의 차이를 나타내며 정유회사의 정유순익(gross refining margin)을 대표한다. 실물옵션방법에 의한 정유회사의 가치는 DCF방법에 의한 가치보다 두 배가 크다는 결론을 제시한다. 즉 관리적 유연성이 존재하는 회사의 경우는 가치평가에 있어서 실물옵션방법을 이용하여 가치를 저평가하는 오류를 범하지 않아야 한다.

  • Over the past decades, silk sericin (SS) received increasing attention in the academic and industrial fields. In nature, SS acts as a glue that holds the two strands of silk fibrils together. However, recent works suggest that SS might have a more diverse role during the silk spinning process, such as stabilizing the SF in the silk gland. On the other hand, the sericulture industry has been trying to find novel applications for SS discarded from the silk fabric manufacturing process. Recovery and refining of SS would be the first step of the recycling of SS. Using a proper solvent SS could be shaped into various forms, such as spherical beads, microparticles, fibers, and films. Moreover, the applicability of these SS materials has been investigated in various fields such as cosmetics, templates for nanomaterials, drug delivery, heavy metal adsorption, and enzyme immobilization.
