Zeolite was synthesized hydrothermally using the water-treatment sludge, and the effects of various synthesis parameters like reaction temperature, reaction time, and Na2O/SiO2 molar ratio on the crystallization of zeolite were investigated. Crystal structure, physical property, and thermal stability of zeolite crystals were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy, BET nitrogen adsorption, and TGA measurements. The removal efficiencies of nitrogen in ammonia, heavy metal ions, and TOC were calculated to evaluate zeolite's adsorption capacity. The primary chemical composition of water-treatment sludge was 28.79% Al2O3 and 27.06% SiO2. The zeolites were synthesized by merely employing the water-treatment sludge as silica and alumina sources without additional chemicals. Zeolite crystals synthesized through the water-treatment sludge were confirmed as an A-type zeolite structure. Zeolite A had the highest crystallinity obtained from a gel with the molar composition 2.1Na2O-Al2O3-1.6SiO2-65H2O after 5 h at a temperature of 90 ℃. The specific surface area of zeolite obtained was 55 ㎡ g-1, which was higher than commercial zeolite A. The removal efficiency of nitrogen in ammonia was 68% after 3 h of reaction time, while the removal efficiencies of Pb2+ and Cd2+ ions were 99.1% and 99.3%, respectively. These results indicate active ion exchange between Pb2+ or Cd2+ ion and Na+ ion in the zeolite framework. The adsorption experiments on the different zeolite addition conditions were performed for 3 h with 300 ppm humic acid. Based on the results, TOC's highest efficiency was 83% when 5 g of zeolite was added.

The nucleophilic substitution reactions of dicyclohexyl phosphinic chloride [3; $cHex_2$P(=O)Cl] with substituted anilines ($XC_6H_4NH_2$) and deuterated anilines ($XC_6H_4ND_2$) are investigated kinetically in acetonitrile at 60.0 $^{\circ}C$. The anilinolysis rate is too slow to be rationalized by the stereoelectronic effects. The rate is contrary to expectations for the electronic influence of the two ligands and exhibits exceptionally great negative deviation from the Taft's eq. The deuterium kinetic isotope effects (DKIEs) involving deuterated anilines invariably change from primary normal ($k_H/k_D$ > 1; max $k_H/k_D$ = 1.10 with X = 4-MeO) with the strongly basic anilines (X = 4-MeO, 4-Me, 3-Me) to secondary inverse ($k_H/k_D$ < 1; min $k_H/k_D$ = 0.673 with X = 3-Cl) with the weakly basic anilines (X = H, 4-F, 4-Cl, 3-Cl). A concerted $S_N2$ mechanism is proposed on the basis of both secondary inverse and primary normal DKIEs. The obtained DKIEs imply that the fraction of a frontside attack increases as the aniline becomes more basic. A hydrogen-bonded, four-center-type transition state is suggested for a frontside attack, while the trigonal bipyramidal pentacoordinate transition state is suggested for a backside attack.

This work describes the coloration, chemical stability of $SiO_2$ and $SnO_2$-coated blue $CoAl_2O_4$ pigment. The $CoAl_2O_4$, raw materials, were synthesized by a co-precipitation method and coated with silica ($SiO_2$) and tin oxide ($SnO_2$) using sol-gel method, respectively. To study phase and coloration of $CoAl_2O_4$, we prepared nano sized $CoAl_2O_4$ pigments which were coated $SiO_2$ and $SnO_2$ using tetraethylorthosilicate, $Na_2SiO_3$ and $Na_2SiO_3$ as a coating material. To determine the stability of the coated samples and their colloidal solutions under acidic and basic conditions, colloidal nanoparticle solutions with various pH values were prepared and monitored over time. Blue $CoAl_2O_4$ solutions were tuned yellow color under all acidic/basic conditions. On the other hand, the chemical stability of $SiO_2$ and $SnO_2$-coated $CoAl_2O_4$ solution were improved when all samples pH values, respectively. Phase stability under acidic/basic condition of the core-shell type $CoAl_2O_4$ powders were characterized by transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ color parameter measurements.

The effects of fermented Achyranthes japonica Nakai, Angelica gigas Nakai, and Eucommia ulmoides Oliver extracts (FAAE) on regulation of inflammation and apoptosis were investigated in primary cultured rat cartilage cells. To identify the protective effects of FAAE against H₂O₂, cell survival was measured by MTT assay. Smad3, Collagen type I, MMP3, and MMP13 were measured by real-timpe PCR and westernbot and the inflammatory (NF-κB pathway, COX-2, iNOS) factors were determined by western blot. The apoptosis related factors (JNK, c-Fos, c-Jun, caspase 3, Bax, and Bcl-2) were determined by western blot. FAAE significantly increased the follwing: H₂O₂ treated cell survival, mRNA and protein expression of Smad 3, collagen type I. In addition, FAAE significantly decreased the protein expression of inflammatory and apoptosis related factors. This study suggests that FAAE have a protection effect of chondrocytes through inhibition of inflammation and apoptosis. Thus, FAAE is a therapeutic potential food componet in osteoarthritis.

In this work, we investigated simple Aㅣ/TCO/a-Si:H(n)/c-Si(p)/Al hetero-junction solar cells prepared by low temperature processes, unlike conventional thermal diffused c-Si solar cells. a-Si:H/c-Si hetero-junction solar cells are processed by low temperature deposition of n-type hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition on textured and flat p-type silicon substrate. A detailed investigation was carried out to acquire optimization and compatibility of amorphous layer, TCO (ZnO:Al) layer depositions by changing the plasma process parameters. As front TCO and back contact, ZnO:Al and AI were deposited by rf magnetron sputtering and e-beam evaporation, respectively. The photovoltaic conversion efficiency under AMI.5 and the quantum efficiency on $1cm^2$ sample have been reported. An efficiency of $12.5\%$ is achieved on hetero-structure solar cells based on p-type crystalline silicon.

Reaction between the $N_2O_2-type$ tetradentate ligand, ethylenediamine-N,N'-di-S-${\alpha}$-isobutylacetic acid (SS-emiba) and $RhCl_3{\cdot}3H_2O$ has yielded ${\Delta}-s-cis-\;and\;{\wedge}-uns-cis-[Rh(SS-eniba)Cl_2]-$. ${\Delta}-s-cis-[Rh(SS-eniba)Cl_2]^-$ has been utilized to react with S-methyl-L-cystcine(Smc) to give ${\Delta}-s-cis-[Rh(SS-eniba(Smc)]^+$. The oxidation of ${\Delta}-s-cis-[Rh(SS-eniba(Smc)]^+$ using $H_2O_2$ has produced ${\Delta}-s-cis-[Rh(SS-eniba)(Smc-o)]^+$, in which the coordinated sulfur has been converted into the sulfoxide group. In a separate series of experiments the S-methyl-L-cysteine is oxidized by $H_2O_2$ to give S-methyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide, which is then coordinated to ${\Delta}-s-cis-[Rh(SS-eniba)Cl2]^-$ to make the standard complet of ${\Delta}-s-cis-[Rh(SS-eniba)(Sme-o)]+$ for comparison with the complex obtained from the oxidation of ${\Delta}-s-cis-[Rh(SS-eniba)(Smc)]^+\;by\;H_2O_2.$

Carbon nanofibers (CNF) are widely used as active agents for electrodes in Li-ion secondary battery cells, supercapacitors, and fuel cells. Nanoscale coatings on CNF electrodes can increase the output and lifespan of battery devices. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) can control the coating thickness at the nanoscale regardless of the shape, suitable for coating CNFs. However, because the CNF surface comprises stable C-C bonds, initiating homogeneous nuclear formation is difficult because of the lack of initial nucleation sites. This study introduces uniform nucleation site formation on CNF surfaces to promote a uniform $SnO_2$ layer. We pretreat the CNF surface by introducing $H_2O$ or $Al_2O_3$ (trimethylaluminum + $H_2O$) before the $SnO_2$ ALD process to form active sites on the CNF surface. Transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive spectroscopy both identify the $SnO_2$ layer morphology on the CNF. The $Al_2O_3$-pretreated sample shows a uniform $SnO_2$ layer, while island-type $SnO_x$ layers grow sparsely on the $H_2O$-pretreated or untreated CNF.

In this study, the effects of multi-dipole type of magnets on the characteristics of the inductively coupled plasmas and $SiO_2$ etch properties were investigated. As the magnets, 4 pairs of permanent magnets were used and, to etch $SiO_2, C_2F_6, CHF_3, C_4F_8, H_2$, and their combinations were used. The characteristics of the magnetized inductively coupled plasmas were investigated using a Langmuir probe and an optical emission spectrometer, and $SiO_2$ etch rates and the etch selectivity over photoresist were measured using a stylus profilometer. The use of multi-dipole magnets increased the uniformity of the ion density over the substrate location even though no significant increase of ion density was observed with the magnets. The use of the magnets also increased the electron temperature and radical densities while reducing the plasma potential. When $SiO_2$ was etched using the fluorocarbon gases, the significant increase of $SiO_2$ etch rates and also the increase of etch uniformity over the substrate were obtained using the magnets. In case of gas combinations with hydrogen, $C_4F_8/H_2$ showed the highest etch rates and etch selectivities over photoresist among the gas combinations with hydrogen used in the experiment. By optimizing process parameters at 1000 Watts of inductive power with the magnets, the highest $SiO_2$ etch rate of 8000 $\AA$/min could be obtained for 50% $C_4F_8/50% H_2$.

Ultra thin $Ta_2O_5$ gate dielectrics were prepared by RTMOCVD (rapid thermal metal organic chemical vapor deposition) using Ta source $TaC_{12}H_{30}O_5N$ and $O_2$ gaseous mixtures. As a result, $Ta_2O_5$ thin films showed significantly low leakage current compared to $SiO_2$ of identical thickness, which was due to the stabilization of the interfacial layer by NO ($SiO_xN_y$) passivation layer. The conduction of leakage current in $Ta_2O_5$ thin films was described by the hopping mechanism of Poole-Frenkel (PF) type.
