Recent climate change has led to an increase in the frequency of large-scale wildfires, causing extensive damage and generating substantial quantities of wildfire-damaged wood. While there is growing interest in the efficient utilization of this wood, the majority is currently used as fuel for power generation, a process that shortens its lifecycle and accelerates carbon emissions. In response to this issue, alternative high-value applications for wildfire-damaged wood have been suggested, including the cultivation of medicinal mushrooms, the creation of handicrafts, and its use as timber for wooden structures. However, these approaches typically only employ the non-charred portions of the wood, with the charred sections being removed and discarded. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the fundamental properties of the charred portions of wildfire-damaged wood and provide foundational data for the development of functional materials from these components.

고로슬래그의 비표면적 및 알칼리 자극제가 고로슬래그 시멘트의 압축강도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 알칼리 자극제로는 Na2SO4를 사용하였으며 Na2O로 환산하여 고로슬래그의 2.5, 5.0wt.% 첨가하였다. 비표면적이 각각 4,000, 6,000, 8,000cm2/g인 고로슬래그 미분말을 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트에 대해 30, 50, 70wt.% 치환하였을 경우 모르타르의 유동성 및 압축강도를 측정하여 반응표면분석에 의한 통계적인 방법으로 분석하였다. 재령 1일과 3일의 초기강도는 고로슬래그의 비표면적이 크고, 알칼리 자극제의 첨가량이 높을수록, 재령 7일 이후의 경우 알칼리 자극제의 첨가량이 적을수록, 또한 고로슬래그의 비표면적이 클수록 압축강도가 증가하였다.

The effects of specific surface area of blast furnace slag(BFS) and alkaline activator on the compressive strength of blast furnace slag cement were investigated. Sodium sulfate(Na2SO4) was used as alkaline activator. The addition amounts of alkaline activator, calculated in terms of Na2O, were 2.5 and 5.0wt.% to BFS weight, respectively. The flow and compressive strength of mortar were examined when the BFS power of which the specific surface area are 4,000, 6,000 and 8,000cm2/g were substituted for 30, 50, and 70wt.% of ordinary portland cement(OPC), respectively. As the results, the compressive strength of mortar increased with the increase of specific surface area of BFS and alkaline activator content when the mortar cured for 1 day and 3days. For the mortar cured for 7days, only the specific surface area of BFS affected the increase of compressive strength.

탄소중립 목표 달성을 위한 노력으로 세계적으로 석탄화력발전소의 단계적 폐지를 목표로 하고 있지만, 다양한 원인으로 인해 화력발전을 통한 전력 생산과 황산화물(SOx)의 배출은 앞으로도 지속될 것으로 예상한다. 국내에서는 황산화물 처리를 위해 중조(NaHCO3)와석회소재를 사용하며 중조는 대부분 수입에 의존하고 있다. 따라서 국내 대표적인 부존자원인 석회석을 이용하여 석회소재의 물성 향상을 통해 중조를 대체하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 석회석은 박스형 전기로와 수직형 전기로를 통해 열처리했으며, 수직형 전기로가 가진구조적 특징에 의해 비표면적 22.33 m2 /g, 세공용적 0.14 cc/g의 생석회를 제조하여 석회소재의 물성을 향상 시킬 수 있었다.

In an effort to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality, countries around the world are aiming to phase out coal-fired power plants. Due to various reasons, electricity production through coal-fired power generation and sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions are expected to continue in the future. In the South Korea, sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and lime materials are used to treat SOx, and most of the sodium bicarbonate is imported. Therefore, this research was conducted to replace sodium bicarbonate by improving the physical properties of lime materials using domestic limestone. Limestone was heat-treated through a box-type electric furnace and a vertical electric furnace. Due to the structural characteristics of the vertical electric furnace, a lime material(quicklime) was possible to improve the physical properties like a specific surface area and a pore volume. Then, they were reached to 22.33 m2 /g specific area and 0.14 cc/g pore volume.

Porous carbon fiber composites (CFCs) having variable specific surface area ranging 35~1150 $\m^2$/g were reacted to produce silicon carbide fiber composites with SiO vapor generated from a mixture of Si and $SiO_2$ at 1673 K for 2 h under vacuum. Part of SiO vapor generated during conversion process condensed on to the converted fiber surface as amorphous silica. Chemical analysis of the converted CFCs resulting from reaction showed that the products contained 27~90% silicon carbide, 7~18% amorphous silica and 3~63% unreacted carbon, and the composition depended on the specific carbide, 7~18% amorphous silica and 3~63% unreacted carbon, and the composition depended on the specific surface area of CFCs. CFC of higher specific surface area yielded higher degree of conversion of carbon to silicon and conversion products of lower mechanical strength due to occurrence of cracks in the converted caron fiber. As the conversion of carbon to silicon carbide proceeded, pore size of converted CFCs increased as a result of growth of silicon carbide crystallites, which is also linked to the crack formation in the converted fiber.

In this study, fly ash of a fluidized bed boiler produced in a power plant was stabilized by hydration and carbonation reaction. Then, each raw material was pulverized by two kinds of grinding equipment (Planetary mills and pot mills); the degree of grinding and the agglomeration behavior were observed. It was found that there were changes of specific surface area and particle size distribution according to grinding time. The surface of the raw material was observed using an optical microscope. As a result, agglomerates of about 75 ㎛ or more due to electrostatic phenomenon were formed as the grinding time became longer; it was confirmed that the crushing efficiency slightly increased with use of antistatic agent.

High surface carbon aerogels with hierarchical and tunable pore structure were prepared using ionic liquid as carbon precursor via a simple salt templating method. The as-prepared carbon aerogels were characterized by nitrogen sorption measurement and scanning electron microscopy. Through instant visual observation experiments, it was found that salt eutectics not only serve as solvents, porogens, and templates, but also play an important role of foaming agents in the preparation of carbon aerogels. When the pyrolyzing temperature rises from 800 to $1000^{\circ}C$, the higher temperature deepens the carbonization reaction further to form a nanoporous interconnected fractal structure and increase the contribution of super-micropores and small mesopores and improve the specific surface area and pore volume, while having few effects on the macropores. As the mass ratio of ionic liquid to salt eutectics drops from 55% to 15%, that is, the content of salt eutectics increases, the salt eutectics gradually aggregate from ion pairs, to clusters with minimal free energy, and finally to a continuous salt phase, leading to the formation of micropores, uniform mesopores, and macropores, respectively; these processes cause BET specific surface area initially to increase but subsequently to decrease. With the mass ratio of ionic liquids to salts at 35% and carbonization temperature at $900^{\circ}C$, the specific surface area of the resultant carbon aerogels reached $2309m^2g^{-1}$. By controlling the carbonization temperature and mass ratio of the raw materials, the hierarchically porous architecture of carbon aerogels can be tuned; this advantage will promote their use in the fields of electrodes and adsorption.

In this study we report a new method for the synthesis of a silica monolithic column bed with bimodal pores (throughpores and mesopores). The template induced synthesis method was used to direct bimodal pores simultaneously instead of the usual post base-treating method. Block polymer Pluronic F127 was chosen as a dual-function template to form hierarchically porous silica monolith with both macropores and mesopores. This is a simplification of the method of monolithic column preparation. Poly(ethylene glycol) was used as a partial substitute for F127 can effectively prevent shrinkage during the monolith aging process without losing much surface area (944 $m^2/g$ to 807 $m^2/g$). More importantly, the resultant material showed a much narrower mesopore size (centered at 6 nm) distribution than that made using only F127 as the template reagent, which helps the mass transfer process. The solvent washing method was used to remove the remaining organic template, and it was proved to be effective enough. The new synthesis method makes the fabrication of the silica monolithic column (especially capillary column) much easier. All the structure parameters indicate that monolith PFA05 prepared by the above method is a good material for separation, with the merits of much higher surface area than usual commercial HPLC silica particles, suitable mesopore volume, narrow mesopore size distribution, low shrinkage and it is easily prepared.

본 연구에서는 리그닌 기반 다공성 탄소(lignin-based porous carbon; LBPC)를 수산화칼륨(KOH)으로 활성화할 때 온도가 비표면적과 전기화학적 특성에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 리그닌과 acrylonitrile을 그라프트 중합으로 합성한 리그닌-polyacrylonitrile (PAN) 공중합체를 전구체로 하여 LBPC를 제조한 후 LBPC를 KOH로 600, 700, 800, 900℃에서 활성화하여 활성화 처리한 LBPC (KA-LBPC-6, 7, 8, 9)를 제조하였다. KA-LBPC의 표면 특성을 알아보기 위해 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하였으며, 비표면적 분석을 통해 기공 특성을 파악하였다. 전기화학적 특성은 3전극 시스템으로 분석하였다. 실험 결과 SEM 사진상에서 활성화 처리에 의한 미세기공 형성을 관찰하였다. KA-LBPC-7의 비표면적은 2480.1 m²/g, 미세기공 부피는 0.64 cm³/g, 중기공 부피는 0.76 cm³/g으로 KA-LBPC 중에서 가장 좋은 기공 특성을 보였다. 전기화학적 특성 역시 2 mV/s의 주사속도에서 비정전용량이 151.3 F/g이었던 KA-LBPC-7이 가장 좋은 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, we investigated the effect of temperature on specific surface area and electrochemical properties when lignin-based porous carbon (LBPC) with potassium hydroxide (KOH) is activated. After preparing LBPCs using lignin-polyacrylonitrile (PAN) copolymer, which was synthesized by graft polymerizing lignin and acrylonitrile as a precursor, activated LBPCs (KA-LBPC-6, 7, 8, 9) were manufactured by activating LBPC with KOH at 600℃, 700℃, 800℃ and 900℃. To identify the surface characteristics of KA-LBPC, observations were made with a scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the pore characteristics were identified via specific surface area analysis. The electrochemical properties were analyzed using a three-electrode system. The experiment has shown that micropores formed by activation can be observed in SEM images. KA-LBPC-7 had the best pore characteristics among KA-LBPCs, with a specific surface area of 2480.1 m²/g, a micropore volume of 0.64 cm³/g, and a mesopore volume of 0.76 cm³/g. KA-LBPC-7 showed the best electrochemical properties with a specific capacitance of 151.3 F/g at the scan rate of 2 mV/s.

낮은 열전도도 및 높은 비표면적 특성으로 흡착제 및 가스센서 등 여러 응용 분야로 연구되고 있는 규칙적 메조기공 세라믹 소재는 폐기공 메조기공 구조와 개기공 메조기공 구조로 나뉜다. 이중 폐기공 메조기공 세라믹 소재는 개기공 메조기공 세라믹 소재보다 높은 기계적 특성을 가짐에도 내부에 존재하는 기공을 이용한 비표면적 증가에 한계가 있어 응용에 제약을 가지고 있다. 본 연구팀은 규칙적 폐기공 메조기공 타이타니아($TiO_2$)의 열처리 시간 변화에 따른 입자성장으로부터 폐기공 연결의 도입을 통하여 비표면적을 변화시키는 연구를 수행하고자 하였다. 열처리 시간 증가시 타이타니아 결정상의 변화는 없었으며 입자성장이 일어나게 되면서 기공구조의 무너짐 및 기공의 연결성 증가를 확인할 수 있었다. 24시간 열처리 시료의 경우, 기공률은 36.3%에 34.1%로 감소하였으나 기공의 연결도 증가로 인해 비표면적은 $48m^2/g$에서 $156m^2/g$으로 증가하였다. 이러한 비표면적의 증가는 CO 가스의 감응도 측정을 통하여 감응도가 약 7.4배 증가하는 것으로부터 확인될 수 있었다.

Mesoporous ceramic materials were applied in various fields such as adsorbent and gas sensor because of low thermal conductivity and high specific surface area properties. This structure could be divided into open-pore structure and closed-pore structure. Although closed-pore structure mesoporous ceramic materials have higher mechanical property than open-pore structure, it has a restriction on the application because the increase of specific surface area is limited. So, in this work, specific surface area of closed-pore structure $TiO_2$ was increased by anneal time. As increased annealing time, crystallization and grain growth of $TiO_2$ skeleton structured material in mesoporous structure induced a collapse and agglomeration of pores. Through this pore structural change, pore connectivity and specific surface area could be enhanced. After anneal for 24 hrs, porosity was decreased from 36.3% to 34.1%, but specific surface area was increased from $48m^2/g$ to $156m^2/g$. CO gas sensitivity was also increased by about 7.4 times due to an increase of specific surface area.

Natural zeolite rock of which dominent clay minerals were mordenite and clinoptilolite was collected from Wolsung, Kyungpook province. It was pulverized and sieved into four fractions of $1{\sim}0.5,\;0,5{\sim}0.25,\;0.25{\sim}0.1,$ and<0.1mm. The specific surface areas of its four fractions were determined by $H_2O$ and EGME. The specific surface area of zeolite was slightly affected according to species of measuring material, but was scarcely affected by partical size, nor increased of pulverizing. The surface area of zeolite was calculated from geometric structure of mordenite and it was compared with the specific surface area calculated from maximum numbers of $H_2O$ which could be adsorbed on mordenite. On the basis of that result, the specific area measured from zeolite was estimated to be a part of surface area calculated from it. Accordingly, it was suggested that a new method should be developed for the determination of an exact surface area of zeolite.

This study is performed to fabricate a Ti porous body by freeze drying process using titanium hydride ($TiH_2$) powder and camphene. Then, the Ti porous body is employed to synthesize carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using thermal catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) with Fe catalyst and methane ($CH_4$) gas to increase the specific surface area. The synthesized Ti porous body has $100{\mu}M$-sized macropores and $10-30{\mu}m$-sized micropores. The synthesized CNTs have random directions and are entangled with adjacent CNTs. The CNTs have a bamboo-like structure, and their average diameter is about 50 nm. The Fe nano-particles observed at the tip of the CNTs indicate that the tip growth model is applicable. The specific surface area of the CNT-coated Ti porous body is about 20 times larger than that of the raw Ti porous body. These CNT-coated Ti porous bodies are expected to be used as filters or catalyst supports.

The classified map of geomorphic surfaces is the most basic data for the geomorphological research. Up to recent days, the traditional methods extracting specific geomorphic surfaces are accomplished by analyzing the aerial photographs and topographical maps, and field works. Also it needs a lot of time and expertness. Furthermore it is difficult to gain the aerial photographs in Korea. Since digital maps in Korean Peninsula are almost completed recently, we tried to extract specific surfaces by analyzing the characteristics of marine terraces based on the level of paleoshoreline and slope analysis on the terrace surface using GIS. However, research used GIS was hardly found up to date, therefore many problems are not be solved yet. The aim of this study is to develop the more efficient and objective method for the extraction and classification of specific geomorphic surfaces by using GIS in Gampo-eup, Gyeongju city, Southeastem Coast in Korea, where a lot of traditional research has already accomplished. For this aim, we have designed the process of extracting specific geomorphic surfaces, chosen the factors that was Gyeongiu city, Southeastem Coast in Korea, where a lot of traditional research has already accomplished. For this aim, we have designed the process of extracting specific geomorphic surfaces, chosen the factors that was suitable for classification of specific geomorphic surface, and presented method of setting up optimum criteria of extraction. As last, effectiveness and problems of these methods were investigated through conincidence rate and error rate.
