This study was conducted to evaluate the optimal operating condition of ultra-fine bubble washing machine for removing calcium chloride from road concrete structure. The diameter of the ultra-fine bubble was measured to 196.6 ± 100.6 nm and the ultra-fine bubble concentration was measured to 1.36 × 108 cell/ml. As a result of the performance on the spray device of the washing machine, it was confirmed that the washing efficiency of 93% and 91% appeared at 100cm and 150cm of injection distance at 100bar injection pressure. By increasing the ultra-fine bubble generation cycles from 2 to 6, the chloride removal rate increased from 1% to 7%. As the ultra-fine bubble generation air flow was lowered from 4 ml/min to 0.5 ml/min, it was confirmed that the washing efficiency increased up to 30%. The washing efficiency of ultra-fine bubble water was 25% higher than normal water.

A porous photocatalyst concrete filter was successfully produced to remove NOx, by mixing TiO₂ photocatalyst with lightweight aerated concrete. Ultra Fine Bubbles were used to form continuous pores inside the porous photocatalytic concrete filter, which was mixed via a bubble generation experiment. The optimal mixing condition was determined to be with 4 % of the bubble generation agent B. NO removal specimens were prepared for various photocatalytic loading conditions, and the specimen containing 3 % P-25 removed NO at a concentration of 1.03 µmol in 1 h. The NO removal rate of the porous photocatalytic concrete filter prepared in this study was 10.99 %. This photocatalytic filter performance was more than 9 times the amount of NO removed by a general photocatalytic filter. The porous photocatalyst concrete filter for removing NOx developed in this study can be applied to various construction sites and the air quality can be solved by reducing NOx contributing to the formation of fine particles.

Nano bubble water is used in various washing processes, including cleaning of solar panels, salt rejection of roads, and cleaning precision parts of machines. High cleaning efficiency and water conservation are obtained by applying nano bubbles during pretreatment of the marine waste cleaning system. This study compared the salt rejection of nano bubble water, and it was revealed that marine waste was produced by wood immersed in 200,000 mg/L NaCl solution. Using tap water and nano bubble water for washing, comparisons of the surface salt concentrations of wood were determined according to the nozzle, orifice diameter, pump speed and washing time. Decreased surface salt concentration was observed on the wood surface with increasing washing time. Water consumption was optimal between 5- and 10-seconds washing time. Increasing orifice diameter of the nozzle reduced the spraying pressure, with consequent increase in the wood surface salt concentration, thereby establishing the importance of orifice diameter of the nozzle. Compared to levels obtained with tap water, salt concentration of the wood surface after washing with nano bubble water was 2.2% lower with sector nozzle, and 30.9% lower with circular nozzle. In the washing experiment using nano bubble water, the salt concentration on the wood surface was about 9.5 mg/L lower when washed with sector nozzle than the circular nozzle.

In a secondary cooling system of a sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR), rapid detection of hydrogen due to sodium-water reaction (SWR) caused by water leakage from a heat exchanger tube of a steam generator (SG) is important in terms of safety and property protection of the SFR. For hydrogen detection, the hydrogen detectors using atomic transmission phenomenon of hydrogen within Ni-membrane were used in Japanese proto-type SFR "Monju". However, during the plant operation, detection signals of water leakage were observed even in the situation without SWR concerning temperature up and down in the cooling system. For this reason, the study of a new hydrogen detector has been carried out to improve stability, accuracy and reliability. In this research, the authors focus on the difference in composition of hydrogen and the difference between the background hydrogen under normal plant operation and the one generated by SWR and theoretically estimate the hydrogen behavior in liquid sodium by using ultra-accelerated quantum chemical molecular dynamics (UA-QCMD). Based on the estimation, dissolved H or NaH, rather than molecular hydrogen (H₂), is the predominant form of the background hydrogen in liquid sodium in terms of energetical stability. On the other hand, it was found that hydrogen molecules produced by the sodium-water reaction can exist stably as a form of a fine bubble concerning some confinement mechanism such as a NaH layer on their surface. At the same time, we observed experimentally that the fine H₂ bubbles exist stably in the liquid sodium, longer than previously expected. This paper describes the comparison between the theoretical estimation and experimental results based on hydrogen form in sodium in the development of the new hydrogen detector in Japan.

친환경적인 산업기술인 초미세기포(Ultra Fine Bubble, 이하 UFB) 제조 기술은 농업, 수처리, 그리고 환경재생 등 다양한 분야에서 적용되고 있다. UFB는 1,000nm 이하의 크기를 가진 기포로서 용존산소를 통한 농작물 성장 촉진 및 수중의 대장균 및 세균제거 등 다양한 성질을 지니고 있다. 본 연구는 기존의 방식과는 다르게 자왜현상을 메카니즘으로 갖는 타격식으로 제조된 UFB 생성장치를 통해 생성된 200nm이하의 크기를 가진 UFB를 실제 딸기 농장에 적용하여 딸기의 성장을 모니터링하고 살균 성능을 가진 화학제품과 UFB를 대장균에 적용하여 대장균 제거효율을 비교하였다. 딸기농장에 기존에 사용되던 지하수 대신 UFB를 주입하여 딸기성장 초기단계의 DO농도를 측정하고 딸기 생식단계에 산소포화도에 대한 질산염의 농도를 측정하여 상관관계를 분석하였으며 각각의 딸기 열매를 수확하여 무게를 비교하였다. 또한 대장균이 함유되어있는 대변을 채취하여 살균 성능을 가진 화학제품과 UFB수를 각각 대장균이 포함된 실험원수와 반응시켜 배양하고 검출된 대장균 개체 수에 확인하여 제거효율을 비교분석 하였다. 딸기성장 초기단계의 DO농도 측정결과 DO농도가 6~9ml/L로 높게 유지되고 있음을 확인하였고 딸기 생식단계에서 산소포화도가 일정하게 유지되고 있음에 따라 질산염의 농도가 점차 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 수확한 열매의 무게는 각각 37g, 19g으로 UFB수를 통해 재배된 딸기가 약 2배 이상 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 수중의 용존산소가 딸기 성장 초기에 뿌리의 발육에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 질산염을 원활하게 섭취하게 하여 딸기의 성장이 촉진되었고 열매의 무게가 증가하였다고 판단된다. 또한 대장균이 함유된 원수, 원수+화학제품, 원수+UFB를 접종하여 대장균과 반응시켜 배양하여 대장균 개체 수를 확인한 결과, 원수의 경우 약 600개의 대장균의 개체수가 나타났고, 원수+화학제품의 경우 검출된 대장균의 개체 수는 약 300개 정도로 나타났다. 이를 희석한 비율을 계산하여 대장균 개체 수를 나타내면 원수 약 6000개/ml, 원수+화학제품 약 6000개/ml로 비슷하게 나타난다. 반면, 원수+UFB 경우 검출된 대장균의 개체 수는 1개로 희석한 비율을 계산하여 대장균 개체 수를 나타내면 약 20개/ml로 나타난다. 이와 같은 결과를 통해 UFB는 99.9%의 대장균 제거효율을 보였으며, 화학제품은 대장균 제거효율을 보이지 않았다. 따라서 화학제품은 항균기능은 작용하지만 살균기능은 거의 없다고 판단하였고, UFB의 경우 기포가 소멸하면서 발생되는 초고온, 초고압을 형성하여 주변에 존재하는 대장균을 제거하였거나, 기포가 소멸할 때 발생되는 OH 라디칼을 통해 대장균의 세포를 화학적으로 분해시켜 대장균을 제거하였다고 보인다.
