The procedures currently used for determining microbiological quality of natural mineral water recommend filtration through membrane filters. In this study, we evaluated the effect of vacuum pressure for the accurate detection of bacteria from water samples seeded with Escherichia coli. We observed that the number of E. coli detected increased with increasing vacuum pressure. In order to examine the retention rate of bacteria in the holes of the membranes under the different pressures, the membrane filters were removed after filtration, washed with sterile water by vortexing, and placed on m-Endo agar plates. With all the filters tested, the number of E. coli retained within the filters at negative 600 mmHg was approximately 10 to $20\%$ higher than that obtained with 100 mmHg. These results demonstrate that the vacuum pressure exerted during the filtration procedure may affect the fixation of bacteria into some portions of openings in the membrane filter.

In this study, we present the salt repellent behavior of superhydrophobic filtration membrane. Bio-fouling or mineral-fouling is the main factor of decreasing the performance of filtration membrane. The superhydrophobic modification of filtration membrane using PECVD (Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition) is introduced. The oxygen plasma was introduced for developing nano hairy structures and subsequent HMDSO (Hexamethyldisiloxane) coating was used for enhancing low surface energy. Saline water evaporation test was carried out to evaluate the difference of contamination of salt on superhydrophobic and moderately hydrophobic filtration membrane. EDS and EPMA were used for visualizing the residue of salt crystal.

Hot gas filtration method via using ceramic filters is an evolving technology applicable to numerous industrial and air pollution control processes. Alumino silicate, organic and inorganic binders were the major raw materials in manufacturing ceramic filters. In this work, disc type ceramic filters(50$\phi$$\times$10t) were manufactured by vacuum forming processes using ceramic raw materials. The porosity and bulk density of disc type ceramic filers ranged from 86 to 89% and from 0.27 to 0.36 g/㎤, respectively. In this work disc type ceramic medium were tested utilizing coupon experimental apparatus. Disc type filters showed high collection efficiencies over 99.96% with Darchs law coefficients of 4.1$\times$10(sup)10~9.63$\times$10(sup)10/$m^2$ depending on mean pore sizes. In addition, filtration and detachment of ceramic filters turned out to be performed effectively using 10 cm/sec face velocity, 5 minutes filtration cycle, 100msec pulse jet valve opening time and 3 bar pulsing pressure.

Over the past years, many research works have been carried out to investigate the factors which govern the performance of diesel engines. The air pollutant emissions from the diesel engines are still significant concerns environmentally in many countries. In the present study, a novel smoke filtration system of diesel engine is proposed. This novel system is composed of filtering elements and vacuum pump driven by exhaust gases emitted from engine cylinders for capturing smoke. In order to verify the excellency of the novel filtration system, the differential pressure across the filtration system is investigated experimentally comparing with other systems which are used commercially in diesel vehicles. As a result it is founded that the differential pressure of the novel system is the smallest among them.

복합재료는 일반적인 고강도 구조체에 활용성이 증가하고 있지만 최신의 복합적인 전자기기 내부 소자 등과 같은 multifunctional 재료들의 성능 특성 요구가 증가하고 있다. 기기의 방열 특성의 경우 대표적으로 요구되는 물성인 반면 복합재료의 경우 적층 공정으로 인해 수직 방향의 열적 특성 제어는 해결해야 될 문제 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 vacuum filtration 방법을 이용하여 Carbon fiber reinforced polymer를 제작하였다. 복합재료 제작 공정에서는 섬유들의 분산에 활용성이 가장 뛰어난 세 가지 solvent들을 사용하여 solvent의 영향을 살펴보았다. 또한 세가지의 aspect ratio를 가지는 단섬유 carbon fiber들의 수직 방향의 배열성을 확인하기 위해 현미경을 통한 morphology를 관찰하였고 제작된 시편의 열전도도 측정을 통해 배열성을 검토하였다. 시편의 열전도도 측정 결과 단섬유 carbon fiber의 aspect ratio가 낮을수록 높은 열전도도를 보였으며 through-plane 방향의 열전도도는 DMF, NMP, Acetone 순으로 각각 8.69 W/m·K, 10.32 W/m·K, 13.01 W/m·K의 증가되는 값을 보였다.

A photodetector based on a reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/n-Si heterojunction with high responsivity, detectivity and fast response speed is presented. Here, we put forward a simple vacuum filtration method to prepare RGO film and transfer it onto an n-Si substrate to form an RGO/n-Si heterojunction. The experimental results show that the heterojunction has good rectification characteristics, and the response and recovery time are less than 0.31 s and 0.25 s, respectively. Under 470 nm light conditions at -2 V applied voltage, the responsivity and detectivity of the device are 65 mA/W and 4.02 × 10¹⁰ cmHz^1/2W^-1, respectively. The simple preparation process and good performance of the RGO/n-Si heterojunction make it a promising material for photoelectric detection, especially in the near-ultraviolet band.

Diesel particulate filter has been adopted in new vehicle with diesel engine. Since the flow of exhaust gas was clogged as particulate matters were deposited in the filter, it have bad effects on a fuel consumption and power. It was investigated that a particulate filtering system with vacuum pump in the exhaust gas line could be free from clogging in previous research. In this study, the effects of water injection and position of inlet port in filtering system on reducing in particulate matter were investigated. It was noticed that particulate matter were decreased remarkable by water injection and moving the position of inlet port.

전자기기 발열을 효율적으로 제어하기 위해 열전도성 복합재료에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 solvent 별 분산에 따른 carbon fiber의 배열성 관계를 알아보기 위해 Milled Carbon Fiber를 4가지 Solvent에 분산하고 Vacuum filtration 방법을 통해 탄소섬유강화 복합재료(CFRP)를 제작하였다. CFRP의 배열성을 알아보기 위해 광학현미경 관측과 섬광법을 통한 열전도도를 측정하였다. NMP와 Ethanol을 Solvent로 사용하여 성형한 CFRP의 평면두께방향 열전도도가 각각 10.79 W/mK, 10.57 W/mK 값을 보였고 이는 평면내부방향 열전도도에 비해 218%, 209% 향상된 결과를 보였다. Solvent의 상대적으로 높은 점도 값은 solvent 유체의 높은 전단력에 영향을 주어 성형 시 필러의 배열성을 결정하는데 영향을 주는 것으로 판단된다.

There have been several methods to fabricate carbon nanotube (CNT) emitters, which include as-grown, spraying, screen-printing, electrophoresis and bonding methods. Unfortunately, these techniques generally suffer from two main problems. One is a weak mechanical adhesion between CNTs and the cathode. The as-grown, spraying and electrophoresis methods show a weak mechanical adhesion between CNTs and the cathodes, which induces CNT emitters pulled out under a high electric field. The other is a severe degradation of the CNT tip due to organic binders used in the fabrication process. The screen-printing method which is widely used to fabricate CNT emitters generally shows a critical degradation of CNT emitters caused by the organic binder. Such kinds of problems induce a short lifetime of the CNT field emitters which may limit their practical applications. Therefore, a robust CNT emitter which has the strong mechanical adhesion and no degradation is still a great challenge. Here, we introduce a simple and effective technique for fabrication of CNT field emitter, namely filtration-taping-transfer method. The CNT emitters fabricated by the filtration-taping-transfer method show the low turn-on electric fields, the high emission current, good uniformity and good stability. The enhanced emission performance of the CNT emitters is mainly attributed to high emission sites on the emitter area, and to good ohmic contact and strong mechanical adhesion between the emitters and cathodes. The CNT emitters using a simple and effective fabrication method can be applied for various field emission applications such as field emission displays, lamps, e-beam sources, and x-ray sources. The detail fabrication process will be covered at the poster.
