The adsorption characteristics of ions were evaluated for the nitrate-selective carbon electrode (NSCE) in accordance with power supply methods. The NSCE was fabricated by coating the surface of a carbon electrode with anion-exchange resin powders with high selectivity for the nitrate ion. Capacitive deionization (CDI) experiments were performed on a mixed solution of nitrate and chloride ion in constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC) modes. The number of total adsorbed ions in CV mode was 15% greater than that in CC mode. The mole fraction of adsorbed nitrate ion showed the maximum 58%, though the mole fraction was 26% in the mixed solution. This indicates that the fabricated NSCE is highly effective for the selective adsorption of nitrate ions. The mole fraction of adsorbed nitrate was nearly constant value of 55-58% during the adsorption period in CC mode. In the case of CV mode, however, the values increased from the initial 30% to 58% at the end of adsorption. We confirmed that the current supplied to cell is important factor to determine the selective removal of nitrate.

The SNCR-SCR (selective non-catalytic reduction-selective catalytic reduction) hybrid system is an economical NOx removal system. In this study, the effect of the operating parameters of the SNCR-SCR hybrid system on NOx removal efficiency was investigated. When the SNCR reactor was operated at a temperature lower than the optimum temperature ($900{\sim}950^{\circ}C$), an additional NO removal is obtained basesd on the utilization of $NH_3$ slip. On the other hand, the SNCR reactor operated above the temperature resulted in no additional NO removal of SCR due to decomposition of $NH_3$. Therefore, the SNCR process should be operated at optimum temperature to obtain high NO removal efficiency and low $NH_3$ slip. Thus, it is important to adjust NSR (normalized stoichiometric ratio) so that $SR_{RES}$ can be maintained at an appropriate level.

The inorganic components in tobacco sheet extract have significant influence on the sensory taste of the cigars and the harmful component delivery in cigarette smoke. To identify the contributions of the divalent inorganic components on harmful components delivery in cigarette smoke, a self-made selective electrodialysis was assembled with monovalent ion-selective ion exchange membranes. The influences of current density and extract content on the desalination performance were investigated. Result indicates that the majorities chloride, nitrate, and sulfate ions were removed, comparing with 50-60% of potassium and only less than 10% of magnesium and calcium ions removed in the investigated current density. The permselectivity of the tested cations across the Selemion CSO cation exchange membranes follows the order: $K^+>Ca^{2+}>Mg^{2+}$. A current density of $15mA/cm^2$ is an optional choice by considering both the energy consumption and separation efficiency. When the extract contents are in the range of 7%-20%, the removal ratios the potassium ions are kept around 60%, while the removal ratios of the calcium and magnesium ions fluctuate in the range of 16-27% and 8-14%, respectively. The tobacco smoke experiments indicated that the divalent metal ions have dual roles for the harmful component delivery in cigarette smoke. The divalent potassium and calcium ions were unfavorable for the total particulate matter emission but beneficial to decrease the HCN delivery in the mainstream cigarette smoke. The selective electrodialysis is a robust technology to decrease the harmful component delivery in cigarette smoke.

Micro-fabrication techniques such as lithography and LIGA processes usually require large investment and are suitable for mass production. Therefore, there is a need for a new micro-fabrication technique that is flexible and more cost effective. In this paper a novel, economical and flexible method of producing micro-pattern on silicon wafer is presented. This method relies on selective removal of mask by mechanical cutting. Then micro-pattern is produced by chemical etching. V-shaped grooved of about 3 ${\mu}m$ wide and 2 ${\mu}m$ deep has been made on ${SiO_2}m$ coated silicon wafer with this method. This method may be utilized for making microstructures in MEMS application at low cost.

The selective catalytic experiments using both sulfated/sulfur-free titania and V2O5/TiO2 catalysts have been conducted for NO reduction by NH3 in a packed-bed, down-flow reactor. The sulfated and vanadia loaded titania exhibited higher activity for NO removal than the sulfur-free catalysts, where > 90% NO removal was achieved over the sulfated V2O5/TiO2 catalyst between 280∼500 C. The surface structure of vanadia species on the catalyst surface played a critical role in the high performance of catalysts in which the existence of monomeric/polymeric vanadate is revealed by Raman spectra studies. Water vapor and SO2 were added to the reacting system for the catalyst deactivation tests. At higher temperatures (T ≥ 350 C), little deactivation was observed over the sulfated V2O5/TiO2 catalysts, showing good durability against SO2 and water vapor, which is compared with deactivation at lower temperatures.

산업 현장에서 연소 과정중 발생되는 NOx를 제거하기 위한 방법으로 현재 연구 및 상업 화 대상에서 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 것이 SCR(Selective Catalytic Reduction)과 SNCR((Selective non-catalytic reduction)이다. 그러나, SCR의 경우 높은 장치비와 유지비 가 소요되어, 최근에는 로 내에 요소용액을 직접 분사하여 NOx를 질소와 수증기로 환원시켜 제거하는 방법인 SNCR에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 추세이다.(중략)
