최근 세라믹 막은 우수한 화학적, 열적 안정성으로 기체 분리 공정에 각광을 받아 왔다. 특히 혼합기체에서 고 순도의 수소를 분리해 내는 기술은 연료전지 공정에서 화학 에너지를 전기화학 에너지로 전환시키는데 중요한 역할을 차지한다. 본 연구에서는MTES 템플레이팅 막을 이용하여 이 막 공정의 흡착 및 투과 특성을 규명하고, 이성분 혼합기체에서 고 순도의 수소를 추출해 낼 수 있는 최적 조건을 도출해 내었다. 또한, 기체 분리 거동을 살펴보기 위해 Gproms Dynamic Simulator를 이용하였으며, 이때 기체상의 물질전달을 모사하기 위해 Dust Gas Model(DGM)을, 표면 확산 거동을 모사하기 위해 Generalized Stefan-Maxwell(GSM)식을 적용하였다. 이를 통해 평형론적 흡착 뿐 아니라 속도론적 흡착을 동시에 적용할 수 있게 하였다. MTES 템플레이팅 막의 흡착 및 분리능을 규명하기 위해 본 연구에서는 혼합기체의 투과, 분리 실험이 선행되었다. 실험 조건은 온도범위 323$\sim$473 K, 압력범위 0$\sim$7 atm에서 수행되었으며, 혼합기체는2성분으로 수소-메탄, 수소-이산화탄소, 수소-질소로 기체의 구성비는 각각 50:50 이다. 본 연구를 통해 각 혼합 기체들이 정상상태에 도달하는 시간과 분리능을 계산해 내었으며, 이 분리능을 다시 온도와 압력에 따른 결과로 분석하여 어느 조건에서의 수소 분리도가 최고치를 보이는지를 규명했으며, 시뮬레이션과 비교,대조하여 예측도를 검사하였다.

Impurities removal from waste carbon black was carried out to produce high-grade carbon black. A lot of hydrophilic carbon black is produced as a byproduct of the hydrogen production process by flame decomposition of water. Due to its impurity content such as sulphur, iron, ash and etc., it can only be used as low-grade carbon or burnt out. High-grade hydrophilic carbon black is 3-5 times more expensive than oil-based carbon black because of its process difficulties and requires pollutant treatment. Hydrophilic carbon is normally used far conductive materials for batteries, pigment for plastics, electric wire covering, additives for rubber, etc.. In these applications, hydrophilic carbon must maintain its high purity. In this study magnetic separation, froth flotation and ultrasonic treatment were employed to remove impurities from the low-grade hydrophilic carbon black. As results, the ash, iron and sulphur content of product decreased to less than 0.01wt.%, 0.0lwt.% and 0.3wt.% respectively, and the surface area of product was about 930 $m^2$/g.

최근 세라믹 막은 우수한 화학적, 열적 안정성으로 기체 분리 공정에 각광을 받아왔다. 특히 혼합기체에서 고 순도의 수소를 분리해 내는 기술은 연료전지 공정에서 화학 에너지를 적기화학 에너지로 전환시키는데 중요한 역할을 차지한다. 본 연구에서는 MTES 템플레이팅 막을 이용하여 이 막 공정의 흡착 및 투과 특성을 규명하고, 이성분 혼합기체에서 고 순도의 수소를 추출해 낼 수 있는 최적 조건을 도출해 내었다. 또한, 기체 분리 거동을 살펴보기 위해 Gproms Simulator를 이용하였으며, 이때 기체상의 물질전달을 모사하기 위해 Dust Gas Model(DGM)을, 표면 확산 거동을 모사하기 위해 Generalized Stefan-Maxwell(GSM)식을 적용하였다. 이를 통해 평형론적 흡착 뿐 아니라 속도론적 흡착을 동시에 적용할 수 있게 하였다.

This experiment was carried out to clarify the methods of the F-body test in human and the B-body test in buil and hog. The effect of pH and albumin concentration on the migration of X- and Y- sperm was also investigated. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. In the human semen, the frequency of sperm in which an F-body is visible was different by the fluorochrome. Namely, in case of quinacrine mustard, the F-body frequency was 48.8∼43.4 percent (average 49.6%), and in case of quinacrine dihydrochloride, that was 40.7∼50.8 percent (average 42.0%). 2. The frequency of a, pp.rance of B-body was 43.4${\pm}$1.3 percent in bull semen, and 45.5${\pm}$0.7 percent in hog semen. 3. A, pp.arance of B-body in bovine semen was increased due to duration of time after washing till 12 hours. 4. Separation of X- and Y- spermatozoa using diluents with different hydrogen ion concentration was impossible. 5. A, pp.arance of B-body separated in medium with 6, 10 and 20% ovalbumin was 51.1${\pm}$2.4, 50.6${\pm}$2.5 and 58.2${\pm}$3.0 percent, respectively, and those values were significiantly higher (p<0.01) than corresponding control values.

A series of amphiphilic dendrons n-18 (n: generation number, 18: octadecyl chain) based on an aliphatic polyether denderitic core and octadecyl peripheries were synthesized using a convergent dendron synthesis consisting of a Williamson etherification and hydroboration/oxidation reactions. This study investigated their thermal and self-assembling behavior in the solid state using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectroscopy, and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). DSC indicated that the melting transition and the corresponding heat of the fusion of the octadecyl chain decreased with each generation. FT-IR showed that the hydroxyl focal groups were hydrogen-bonded with one another in the solid state. DSC and FT-IR indicated microphase-separation between the hydrophilic dendritic cores and hydrophobic octadecyl peripheries. SAXS data analysis in the solid state suggested that the lower-generation dendrons 1-18 and 2-18 self-assemble into lamellar structures based upon a bilayered packing of octadecyl peripheries. In contrast, the analyzed data of higher-generation dendron 3-18 is consistent with 2-D oblique columnar structures, which presumably consist of elliptical cross sections. The data obtained could be rationalized by microphase-separation between the hydrophilic dendritic core and hydrophobic octadecyl peripheries, and the degree of interfacial curvature associated with dendron generation.

Preconceptual sex selection is still a highly debatable process whereby X- and Y-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa are isolated prior to fertilization of the oocyte. Although various separation techniques are available, none can guarantee 100% accuracy. The aim of this study was to separate X- and Y-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa using methods based on the viability difference between the X- and Y-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa. A total of 18 experimental semen samples were used, written consent was obtained from all donors and results were analysed in a blinded fashion. Spermatozoa were exposed to different pH values (5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, and 9.5), increased temperatures ($37^{\circ}C$, $41^{\circ}C$, and $45^{\circ}C$) and ROS level ($50{\mu}M$, $750{\mu}M$, and $1,000{\mu}M$). The live and dead cell separation was done through a modified swim-up technique. Changes in the sex-chromosome ratio of samples were established by double-label fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) before and after processing. The results indicated successful enrichment of X-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa upon incubation in acidic media, increased temperatures, and elevated $H_2O_2$. This study demonstrated the potential role for exploring the physiological differences between X-and Y-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa in the development of preconceptual gender selection.

Heavy water (D₂O) can induce various biochemical changes in comparison with light water (H₂O). In order to reduce excessive energy consumption, which is a disadvantage of the existing separation process, we conduct the forward osmosis with electrospun polyamide membranes. NaCl and phosphoric acid were used as draw solutions. FT-IR spectroscopy was used to quantify the concentration of heavy water. It was observed that phosphoric acid could concentrate heavy water through a forward osmosis process and its special interaction with hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) was spectrophotometrically confirmed.

Photoelectrochemical cell (PEC) is one of the attractive ways to produce clean and renewable energy. However, solar to hydrogen production via PEC system generally requires high external bias, because of material's innate electronic band potential relative to hydrogen reduction potential and/or charge separation issue. For spontaneous photo-water splitting, here, we design dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) and their monolithic tandem cell incorporated with a $BiVO_4$ photoanode. $BiVO_4$ has high conduction band edge potential and suitable band gap (2.4eV) to absorb visible light. To achieve efficient $BiVO_4$ photoanode system, electron and hole mobility should be improved, and we demonstrate a tandem cell in which $BiVO_4/WO_3$ film is connected to cobalt complex based DSSC.

Natural gas combustion characteristics of mass produced oxygen carrier particles were investigated in a batch type bubbling fluidized bed reactor. Five particles, NiO/bentonite, OCN601-650, OCN702-1100, OCN703-950, OCN703-1100 were used as oxygen carrier particles. Natural gas and air were used as reactants for reduction and oxidation, respectively. During reduction reaction, high fuel conversion and high $CO_2$ selectivity were achieved for most of oxygen carriers. During oxidation, NO emission was very low. These results indicate that inherent $CO_2$ separation and low NOx combustion are feasible for the natural gas fueled chemical-looping combustion system. Among the five oxygen carriers, OCN703-1100 particle was selected as the best candidate for demonstration of long-term operation in large-scale chemical-looping combustor from the viewpoints of fuel conversion, $CO_2$ selectivity, $CH_4$ concentration, and CO concentration.

MO studies have been carried out on 1,5-hydrogen shifts between tautomeric forms (6${\pi}$ system) of ${\beta}$-diketones, ${\beta}$-thioxoketones and ${\beta}$-dithioketones by determining transition state and analyzing structural stability effects on the activation barriers using MNDO method. The barrier was found to increase with the stability of the ground state having greater charge separation and with the increase (less stabilization) in the one electron energy ${\Delta}(2\sum\limits^{occ}{\varepsilon}i)^{\neq}$ in the activation process.
