무선 센서 네트워크 하에서 불균일 네트워크의 에너지 효율은 주요 이슈 중의 하나로 고려된다. 불균일 네트워크에서, 개별 노드 초기 에너지의 무작위 분포는 네트워크 불안정을 초래할 수 있다. 따라서 네트워크 상 각 노드의 동작 시간 증가와 에너지 소비의 공평성 유지를 위해서는 적합한 방법이 마련되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 서로 다른 시나리오의 불균일 네트워크 하의 분산 클러스터 링 프로토콜(DCP)의 성능 평가를 보여준다. 본 시뮬레이션 결과는 불균일 네트워크에서의 LEACH 프로토콜 결과와 비교하였다. 추가적으로 불균일 네트워크에서의 시스템 성능을 균일 네트워크와 비교함으로써, 불균형 초기 에너지가 시스템의 개별 노드의 수 명에 미치는 영향을 설명한다. 시뮬레이션 수행 결과 균일 및 불균일 네트워크에서 LEACH 프로토콜과의 성능 비교 결과는 DCP의 성능이 모든 경우에 성능 우위에 있음을 나타내었다.

Energy efficiency in heterogeneous network is considered as one of the main issues when deploying the wireless sensor network. In heterogeneous network, the random distribution of initial energy at each node could lead to an instability of the network. Therefore, a resonable policy must be established in order to maintain the fairness in energy consumption and extend the working time of each node in the network. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of the distributed clustering protocol (DCP) in heterogeneous network on different scenarios. Simulation results are compared with the results of a LEACH protocol in a heterogeneous network. In addition, the performance of system in heterogeneous network are also compared with the homogeneous network to illustrate the effect of imbalance in the initial energy on the life time of each node in the system. The result illustrates that the DCP protocol demonstrates better performance than LEACH protocol in both the heterogeneous and the homogeneous networks.

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) has been a promising technology to reduce the air pollution caused by nitrogen oxides (NOx) in several industries. The consumption of SCR catalysts increases every year as technology evolves, however those have a limited lifespan and usually end up in landfills after they deactivate. Currently, the most widely used catalyst for and stationary applications is V2O5-WO3/TiO2 which can contain around 50% wt V2O5 and 7-10% wt of WO3. The vast uses for both vanadium and tungsten and the worldwide interest in recycling methods that allow for the extraction of metals from secondary sources represent the major motivation for this research. The extraction time, pH dependency, extraction concentration studies were carried out using Aliquat 336 in exxol D80 as the extractant. It was determined that to optimize the extraction of both metals 30min of contact time with an organic phase containing 0.5mol/L of Aliquat 336 are needed at a slightly acidic pH (~5.0). In addition, counter McCabe-Thiele studies allowed us to determine that one stage is necessary for the removal of 99% of vanadium while 2 stages are necessary for the extraction of tungsten and counter current simulations proved that the theoretical approach was correct.

LiCoO2 nanoparticles were synthesized from leach liquor of lithium ion battery waste using flame spray pyrolysis. Electrodematerials containing lithium and cobalt could be concentrated with thermal and mechanical treatment. After dissolution of usedcathode materials of the lithium battery with nitric acid, the molar ratio of Li/Co in the leach liquor was adjusted at 1.0 by addinga fresh LiNO3 solution. The nanoparticles synthesized by the flame spray pyrolysis showed clear crystallinity and were nearlyspherical, and their average primary particle diameters ranged from 1 to 35 nm. The average particle diameter increased withsalso led to an increase in the average diameter of the particles. The LiCoO2 powder was proved to have good characteristicsas cathode active materials in charge/discharge capacity and cyclic performance.

In new millennium, wide-reaching demands for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst have been increased gradually in new millennium. SCR catalyst can prevent the NOx emission to protect the environment. In SCR catalyst the main composition of the catalyst is typically TiO2 (70~80%), WO3 (7~10%), V2O5 (~1%) and others. When the SCR catalysts are used up and disposed to landfills, it is problematic that those should exist in the landfill site permanently due to their extremely low degradability. A new advanced technology needs to be developed primarily to protect environment and then recover the valuable metals. Hydrometallurgical techniques such as leaching and liquid-liquid extraction was designed and developed for the spent SCR catalyst processing. In a first stage, V and W selectively leached from spent SCR catalyst, then both the metals were processed by liquid-liquid extraction process. Various commercial extractants such as D2EHPA, PC 88A, TBP, Cyanex 272, Aliquat 336 were tested for selective extraction of title metals. Scrubbing and stripping studies were tested and optimized for vanadium and tungsten extraction and possible separation. 3rd phase studies were optimized by using iso-decanol reagent.

중유회로부터 증류수로 용출시킨 중유회 용출액에서 금속 중 Ni^2+이온의 정량을 분광광도법으로 측정하고자 하였다. 또 중유회용출액 중 다량 존재하는 V^3+이온이 Ni^2+이온의 분광광도법적 정량에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 Ni^2+이온 ppm 대비 V^3+이온의 함량을 달리한 시료의 흡광도를 조사한 결과 V^3+이온의 함량이 Ni^2+ 함량의 50% 이하인 조건에서는 시료 중 Ni^2+이온의 정량이 분광광도법으로 가능함을 확인하였다.

We tried to measure the fixed quantity of Ni^2+ion among the metals which were eluted by distilled water from the Fly Ash Leach Liquor(FALL) with a spectrophotometric method. In addition, we researched absorbance values which had different contained quantity of V^3+ion in contrast with Ni^2+ion ppm to find out the influence of the V^3+ion existed in the FALL on the spectrophotometric fixed quantity of Ni2+ion. As a result, when V^3+ ion has below 50% of amount of Ni^2+ion, the fixed quantity of Ni^2+ion among the FALL was able to be confirmed by spectrophotometry.

본 연구는 겔 타입의 음이온교환 수지를 이용하여 바나듐과 텅스텐 이온의 흡·탈착 거동과 분리조건을 규명하였다. 용액의 초기산도에 따른 흡착실험에서 바나듐은 강산성 및 강염기성에서 흡착률이 현저히 낮아지며, 텅스텐은 강염기성에서 흡착률이 낮게 나타났다. 반응온도의 상승은 흡착반응속도 및 최대흡착량의 증가에 영향을 주었으며, 텅스텐은 최대흡착량에 미치는 영향이 미미하였다. 이온교환수지에 대한 바나듐과 텅스텐의 흡착등온실험은 두 이온 모두 Langmuir 흡착등온식에 적합하였으며, 텅스텐의 경우 폴리옥소메탈레이트화 되어 이온 간의 결합이 이루어져 다분자층 흡착의 형태가 나타나 Freundlich 흡착등온식에도 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 두 이온교환수지 모두 유사 2차 반응속도모델에서 잘 모사되었으며, 탈착용액의 종류에 따른 바나듐과 텅스텐의 탈착특성에서 바나듐은 HCl 수용액및 NaOH 수용액 모두 탈착이 이루어 졌으며, 텅스텐은 HCl 수용액에서 탈착이 전혀 이루어지지 않아 탈착공정을 통한 두 이온의 분리가가능하였다. 탈착반응은 반응 개시 후 30분 이내에 평형에 도달하였으며, 90% 이상 회수가 가능하였다.

The adsorption/desorption behavior and separation conditions of vanadium and tungsten ions were investigated using a gel-type anion-exchange resin. In the adsorption experiment with the initial acidity of the solution, the adsorption rate of vanadium was remarkably low in strong acids and bases. Additionally, the adsorption rate of tungsten was low in a strong base. An increase in the reaction temperature increased the adsorption reaction rate and maximum adsorption. The effect of tungsten on the maximum adsorption was minimal. The adsorption isotherms of vanadium and tungsten on the ion-exchange resin were suitable for the Langmuir adsorption isotherms of both the ions. For tungsten, the adsorption isotherms of vanadium and tungsten were polyoxometalate. Both ion-exchange resins were simulated using similar quadratic reaction rate models. Vanadium was desorbed in the aqueous solutions of HCl or NaOH, the desorption characteristics of vanadium and tungsten depended on the desorption solution, and tungsten was desorbed in the aqueous solution of NaOH. It was possible to separate soluthe two ions using the desorption process. The desorption reaction reached equilibrium within 30 min, and more than 90% recovery was possible.

The recovery of platinum group metals (PGMs) from the leach solution of spent auto-catalyst and the wash solution of the leach residue was investigated in the laboratory scale experiments by the cementation process using metal powders as the reductant. In this study, the effect of Al, Mg and Zn powders on the cementation process was particularly examined. Aluminum powder was selected as the most suitable reductant for the cementation of PGMs. At the cementation time of 10 minute under the aluminium stoichimetric amount of 19.3 and the reaction temperature of 50~60℃, the recovery of platinum group metals from the leach solution of the spent auto-catalyst was found to be 99.3%, 99.4%, 90.2% for Pt, Pd and Rh, respectively. Under the same conditions with the aluminium stoichimetric amount of 45, the recovery of platinum group metals from the wash solution of the leach residue of spent catalyst was observed to be 97%, 97% and 90% for Pt, Pd and Rh, respectively. In addition, it was possible to upgrade the platinum group metals in the precipitates obtained from the cementation process by about 10% through the removal of metal impurities by the nitric acid leaching at ambient temperature.

자동차 폐촉매의 침출액으로부터 백금족 금속의 분리를 위하여 용매추출에 대한 기초연구가 수행되었다. 추출제로 tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP), tri-n-octylamine (TOA) 그리고 di-n-hexyl sulfide (DHS)를 등유에 희석하여 사용하였다. 추출제의 종류 및 농도가 백금, 팔라듐 그리고 로듐의 추출거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 또한 세륨, 납, 철, 마그네슘 그리고 알루미늄 등 침출액에 존재하는 주요 금속불순물의 추출거동도 함께 조사하였다. TBP는 백금과 팔라듐, 그리고 TOA는 백금, 팔라듐, 로듐을 동시에 추출하였다. DHS 추출제인 SFI-6에 의한 용매추출 시 백금이 팔라듐과 함께 유기상으로 추출되었으나, SFI-6R은 팔라듐만 선택적으로 추출하였다. SFI-6R은 SFI-6에 비하여 팔라듐에 대한 선택성이 우수하였으나 추출속도가 느렸다. 추출제의 종류에 따라 백금족 금속과 함께 추출되는 금속불순물들이 달라지며 세정 또는 탈거공정에서 이들을 제거하여야 한다. 자동차 폐촉매의 침출액으로부터 백금, 팔라듐 그리고 로듐을 분리하기 위하여 먼저 DHS 추출제인 SFI-6R를 사용하여 팔라듐을 분리한 다음 TBP 또는 TOA으로 백금을 추출하여 로듐과 분리하는 공정이 적절한 것으로 나타났다.

The solvent extraction for the separation of platinum group metals from the leach liquor of spent automotive catalysts has been studied. Tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP), tri-n-octylamine (TOA) and di-n-hexyl sulfide (DHS) were used as extractants and kerosene as a diluent. The extraction behavior of platinum, palladium and rhodium has been investigated as functions of different kinds of extractants and their concentrations. In addition, the extraction behavior of the major metal impurities such as cerium, lead, iron, magnesium and aluminum has been investigated. Platinum and palladium were extracted with TBP. And platinum, palladium and rhodium were extracted with TOA. Platinum was co-extracted with palladium into the organic phase by solvent extraction using SFI-6 of DHS extractant, but only palladium was selectively extracted with SFI-6R. The selective extraction of palladium with SFI-6R was found better than that with SFI-6, but the kinetics of extraction with SFI-6R was found poor in comparison to SFI-6. The metal impurities extracted simultaneously during the extraction of platinum group metals should be removed in scrubbing and stripping processes. A suitable process has been proposed for the separation of platinum group metals from the leach liquor of spent automotive catalysts. Initially palladium was extracted with SFI-6R, followed by the separation of platinum with TBP or TOA leaving rhodium in the raffinate.

In this study, we investigated the separability of vanadium and tungsten from spent SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) catalyst leach solution by reduction of vanadium and solvent extraction using Alamine 336 and conducted experiments to optimize process conditions. It is difficult to separate vanadium and tungsten due to their similar chemical behavior, but tungsten can be selectively extracted from acidic solution when vanadium extraction is prevented by reducing anionic pentavalent vanadium to cationic tetravalent vanadium. The results showed that NaHSO3 was most suitable as a reducing agent, and the extraction efficiency of vanadium decreased and the separation efficiency increased as the amount of reducing agent added, reaction time, and temperature increased. When reducing NaHSO3 1.5 eq, 60 min, and 60℃, which are optimal conditions of reduction, vanadium and tungsten were effectively separated with vanadium extraction efficiency of 5.8%, tungsten extraction efficiency of 99%, and separation factor of vanadium and tungsten of 7,564.

본 논문은 무선 센서 네트워크의 계층형 라우팅 프로토콜 중 대표적인 알고리즘인 LEACH(Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy)의 원거리 전송 시의 에너지 효율이 급감하는 현상을 개선하기 위하여 DL-LEACH (Dual-hop Layered LEACH) 프로토콜을 제안한다. 이는, 데이터 전송에 듀얼 홉(dual hop : 싱글 홉 + 멀티 홉) 방식을 도입하여 근거리 전송에서는 부분적 싱글 홉 방식을, 원거리 전송에는 클러스터 헤드 간의 멀티 홉 전송 방식을 도입하였다. 제안된 DL-LEACH는 듀얼 홉 전송 방식을 사용하여 원거리 전송의 경우에는 클러스터 헤드의 에너지 소모를 줄이고, 근거리 전송의 경우에는 전송 루틴을 단순화하고 전송 거리를 줄여 센서 노드의 에너지 효율을 증가시켰다. 그러므로 일반적인 LEACH에 비교하여 넓은 센서 필드에 적합하다. 제안된 방법을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증하였다.

This paper proposes to increase the node energy effienciecy, which rapidly drops during the transmission of LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierachy), using the method of DL-LEACH (Dual-hop Layered LEACH). By introducing dual-hop method in the data transmission, the proposed single-hop method for short-range transmission and multi-hop transmission method between the cluster heads for remote transmission was introduce. By introducing a partial multi-hop method in the data transmission, a single-hop method for short range transmission method between the cluster heads for remote transmission was introduces. In the proposed DL-LEACH, the energy consumption of cluster head for remote transmission reduces and increases the energy efficiency of sensor node by reducing the transmission distance and simplifying the transmission routine for short-range transmission. As compared the general LEACH, it was adapted to a wider sensor field.

무선 센서 네트워크는 다양한 분야에서 활용 되어지고 있다. 무선 센서 네트워크는 보안, 군사감지, 환경관리, 산업제어, 홈 자동화 등 많은 영역에 적용된다. 하지만 네트워크를 구성하는 노드의 제한된 에너지에 한계로 활용범 위가 제한되는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 대표적 라우팅 프로토콜 중 LEACH-C를 기반으로 네트워크의 전송을 개선하여 에너지를 효율적으로 사용하는 LEACH-CCBD(Low Energy Adaptive Clustering hierarchy – Centrailized with Cluster and Basestation Distance) 알고리즘을 제안한다.

Wireless sensor networks are being used in various fields. Wireless sensor networks are applied in many areas, such as security, military detection, environmental management, industrial control, and home automation. There is a problem about the limit of energy that the sensor network basically has. In this paper, we propose the LEACH-CCBD (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering hierarchy – Centrailized with Cluster and Basestation Distance) algorithm that uses energy efficiently by improving network transmission based on LEACH-C among the representative routing protocols. The LEACH-CCBD algorithm is a method of assigning a cluster head to a cluster head by comparing the sum of the distance from the member node to the cluster distance and the distance from the cluster node to the base station with respect to the membership of the member nodes in the cluster when configuring the cluster. The proposed LEACH-CCBD used Matlab simulation to confirm the performance results for each protocol. As a result of the experiment, as the lifetime of the network increased, it was shown to be superior to the LEACH and LEACH-C algorithms.

무선 센서 네트워크는 현실로부터 데이터 수집이 가능한 센서가 장착된 노드들이 무선으로 구성된 네트워크이다. 센서 노드들이 무선으로 구성되었기 때문에 배터리와 같은 제한된 전원을 가지게 된다. 센서 노드의 배터리가 모두 소모되어 버리면 해당 노드는 더 이상 사용할 수 없게 되며, 일정 이상의 노드가 죽으면 네트워크는 제 역할을 못하게 된다. 에너지 효율을 높이기 위한 무선 센서 네트워크 프로토콜은 여러 가지가 있으며, 그 중 LEACH Protocol이 대표적이다. LEACH Protocol은 클러스터 기반 프로토콜로 센서 공간을 클러스터로 나누어 노드 간 송수신을 한다. 그렇기 때문에 클러스터가 어떻게 구성되었느냐에 따라 에너지의 소모양이 줄어들기도 늘어나기도 한다. 클러스터 선정하는 방법을 Fuzzy를 이용하여 개선한 세 종류 프로토콜과 기존 LEACH Protocol의 네트워크 수명을 비교해보고자 한다

A wireless sensor network is a network in which nodes equipped with sensors capable of collecting data from the real world are configured wirelessly. Because the sensor nodes are configured wirelessly, they have limited power such as batteries. If the battery of the sensor node is exhausted, the node is no longer usable.If more than a certain number of nodes die, the network will not function. There are many wireless sensor network protocols to improve energy efficiency, among which LEACH Protocol is a typical example. The LEACH protocol is a cluster-based protocol that divides sensor space into clusters and transmits and receives data between nodes. Therefore, depending on how the cluster is structured, the shape of the energy cow may decrease or increase. We compare the network lifetimes of the existing LEACH protocols and the three types of protocols that have been improved using fuzzy methods for cluster selection

For wireless sensor networks, it is difficult to balance the energy distribution and reduce the energy consumption in the data transmission process. On the basis of the original LEACH protocol and level technique, a new method of cluster heads collection and two-level clustering transmission is proposed. By controlling the distances among the cluster heads, the uniform distribution of cluster heads is satisfied. And then using two-level mode, the data are transmitted to the base station. LEACH is compared with the improved method about the remaining energy and alive nodes. Simulation results show that the improved method can reduce the network consumption energy greatly and lengthens the network lifetime efficiently.

Wireless Sensors Networks (WSN) have gained a lot of significance because of potential applications such as Marine engineering, Human body tissue study and animal life study. The scope of WSN is limited to some extent due to tiny battery inside the node, thus limiting the scope of applicability where replacing a battery is infeasible. A research to solve this issue has been proposed in this paper. The motivation behind this work is the LEACH protocol which is considered as the oldest technique for Energy Conservation in WSN. But with the advancement in the fabrication of nodes, this protocol needs to be altered to cater the needs. Analysis proved that Intelligent LEACH (I-LEACH) is better than MOD-LEACH approach (A variation to LEACH) in terms of increased lifetime. Results depict 54% increase in the lifetime of the network as compared to MOD-LEACH, which ensures longer connectivity and reliability.

In recent years, the utilization of the WSN have been rapid. Energy consumption of these networks must be as low as possible. LEACH algorithm is one of the clustering technique. We modify the traditional LEACH algorithm in such way that it will be capable to self-organize large number of nodes and for saving communication resources such as processing time and initiation time. The efficiency of the network highly depends on how the algorithm divides cluster area and selects cluster head. The proposed algorithm can be evaluated through the extensive simulation the result we obtained shows that the life time of a network is increased when energy load is distributed equally among the sensor.

In wireless sensor networks (WSN), sensor nodes just can use battery as their power resource and the power is quite limited. So, energy efficiency research is the key issue in design reasonable wireless sensor network routing protocols. In the paper, a revised cluster election method named LEACH-PSOv has been proposed to strengthen the hierarchical routing protocol low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH). In the algorithm, particle colony optimization has been used to divide the network into more than one sub clusters and in each sub clusters head node and vice-head node would be elected to transfer the information to sink node. The algorithm proposed can be effectively to extend the lifetime of the networks. The simulation results show that the life time with new algorithm can extend the lifetime. Based on the improved LEACH algorithm, environmental monitor system has been designed.

In this paper, the ML-LEACH routing protocol for the improvement of the performance of in wireless sensor networks is studied. ML-LEACH is derived from LEACH routing protocols. ML-LEACH is a Multi-Hop Layer. ML-LEACH is proposed to compensate for a phenomenon that the energy consumption of the protocols of the sharp drop in the disadvantage of a wide sensor field of LEACH routing protocol. ML-LEACH routing protocol is set upin the environment in accordance with the specific number of Layer and a node in a wireless sensor network and its performance is compared. The simulation MATLAB is used tolet derives the number of Layer and the number of cluster heads.
