This paper describes the development of a piezoelectric flextensional transducer, which aims to effectively degrade the TCE contained in aqueous solution. In order to adjust the 1st flextensional resonant frequency and output displacement of the flextensional transducer, the effect of the geometrical variations on performance was analyzed using the finite element analysis (FEM). The results indicated that the effect of external shell's thickness and curvature were most significant, and experimental fabrication and characterization of a transducer was performed to confirm the results. To prove the capacity to degrade the TCE contained in aqueous solution, 50 and 100 ppm of TCE were prepared in sealed chamber, and investigated the removal rate of TCE through the time and initial concentration.

In the turning process, the feed is usually selected by a machining operator considering workpiece, cutting tool and depth of cut. Even if this selection can avoid power saturation or tool breakage, it is usually conservative compared to the capacity of the machine tools and can reduce the productivity significantly. This paper proposes a selection method of the feed and the reference cutting force based on MRR(material removal rate), maximum spindle power and specific energy. In order to estimate and control cutting force accurately in transient and steady state, this study utilizes a synthesized cutting force estimation method and a Fuzzy controller. The experimental results present that these systems can be useful for the FMS(flexible manufacturing system) and unmanned automation system.

An existing unit of power plant is considered to refurbish it for possible application of carbon capture and storage(CCS). Conceptual design of the plant includes basic considerations on the national and international situation of energy use, environmental concerns, required budget, and time schedule as well as the engineering concept of the plant. While major equipment of the recently upgraded power plant is going to be reused, a new boiler for air-oxy fired dual mode operation is to be designed. Cryogenic air separation unit is considered for optimized capacity, and combustion system accommodates flue gas recirculation with multiple cleaning and humidity removal units. The flue gas is purified for carbon dioxide separation and treatment. This paper presents the background of the project, participants, and industrial background. Proposed concept of the plant operation is discussed for the possible considerations on the engineering designs.

This study was aimed ultimately to develop an adsorption process treating heavy metal wastewater by utilizing activated carbon using flyash. The affecting factors in adsorption process on heavy metal by flyash adhesion-activated carbon are s follows. Factors such as pH, and quality of activated carbon, and reaction time made batch adsorption isotherm described adsorption capacity was made use of the investigation to evaluate adsorptive possibility of heavy metal.As the results of this study, H ion has influence on adsorption of heavy metal if pH is low. As reaction time is transformed, factors such as optimum reaction time is taken into consideration an adsorptive process of heavy metal because an adsorption and a reduction process occur. Adsorption isotherm of adhesion-activated carbon was generally obeyed to Freundlich formular than Langmuir formular and Freundlich constant, l/n were obtained in the range of 0.1~0.5.

The technology of removing phosphorous, considered as one of the most important control nutrients causing eutrophication in various water bodies, have been investigated by many researchers. In this study, casts which can be obtained from the vermicomposting of mixing sewage sludge and cow manure, were used as an adsorbent, and their effects of several physical/chemical factors on the efficiencies of phosphorous adsorption were examined by batch tests. Generally, it could be showed that the efficiencies of phosphorous adsorption were very influenced by cast dosage, temperature and agitation speed. If we reflected the adsorption capacity(k) and adsorption intensity(1/n) of Freundlich isotherm, we couldn't consider casts as a good adsorbent for removing phosphorous. But, because casts were relatively excellent in cation exchange, in point of waste recycling, we could know that they were capable of removing phosphorous. The SEM observation revealed that the evident variations were hardly seen, but particle sizes of cast were relatively bigger and showed forms of smaller plate than before.

Adsorption and desorption characteristics of methyl iodide at high temperature conditions up to $250^{\circ}C$ by TEDA-impregnated activated carbon, which is used for radioiodine retention in nuclear facility, was experimentally evaluated. In the range of temperature from $30^{\circ}C$ to $250^{\circ}C$, the adsorption capacity of base activated carbon decreased sharply with increasing temperature but that of TEDA-impregnated activated carbon showed higher value even at high temperature ranges. Especially, the desorption amount of methyl iodide on TEDA-impregnated carbon represented lower value than that on unimpregnated carbon. The breakthrough curves of methyl iodide in the fixed bed packed with base carbon and TEDA-impregnated activated carbon at high temperature were compared. TEDA-impregnated activated carbon would be applicable to adsorption process up to $150^{\circ}C$ for the removal of radioiodine in a nuclear facility.

In the present study, a numerical simulation of the subway carriage fire is performed to determine the more effective operation of Trackway Exhaust System(TES) in underground stations. The four types of possible TES operation (OSUS, OSUE, OEUS and OEUE) is simulated and compared their removal capability of smoke and hot temperature for the carriage fire of 2MW. From the results, the distribution of temperature and smoke concentration is more dependent on the operation of fans located at upper side of the platform than those at lower side. It is also found from the results that for more efficient smoke control, the fans at upper side of the platform should be operated as an exhaust system. Whereas the fans at lower side can be operated as a supply system to aid upper exhaust fans.

A new electrostatic separator has been developed for the removal of unburned carbon from fly ash. In this separator, a flowing film of fly ash is created on the surface of a vibrating electrode. Conducting particles such as unburned carbon acquire electrostatic charges and jump out of the flowing film so that they can be removed from the non-conducting fly ash particles moving forward. The new separator has been tested successfully using a pilot-scale test unit at 0.5 tons/hr capacity. Based on the successful test results, a larger unit is being constructed at the present time.

Adsorption capacities of toxic heavy metal ions using as-received carbon(AC), single and double surface-modified activated carbon(OAC and DSMC) in wide pH ranges are extensively evaluated. Physical and chemical properties of surface-modified activated carbons are evaluated through BET analysis, surface acidity and oxides measurements. Based oil tile adsorption isotherms of Pb, Cd and Cr ions by AC, OAC and DSMC, the adsorption amount on DSMC was obviously higher than that on the other carbons. Breakthrough behaviors of ternary metal ions in a column packed with three kinds of carbon were also characterized with respect to the variations of the influent pH and concentration. The adsorption capacity of DSMC in a fixed bed stood a favorable comparison with that of as-received carbon.
