In this study, the properties of blue inorganic nano-pigments with a spinel structure were systematically investigated. We report the preparation of a blue ceramic nano-pigment and the Co and Ni substitutional effects on the blue color. $MgAl_2O_4$ was selected as the crystalline host network for the synthesis of cobalt and nickel-based blue ceramic nano-pigments. Various compositions of $Co_xMg_{1-x}Al_2O_4$ and $Ni_xMg_{1-x}Al_2O_4$ ($0{\leq}x{\leq}1$) powders were prepared using apolymerized complex method. The obtained powder was preheated at $400^{\circ}C$ for 5 h and then calcined at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 5 h. XRD patterns of the (Co,Mg)$Al_2O_4$ and (Ni,Mg)$Al_2O_4$ samples showed a single phase of the spinel structure in all compositions. TEM results indicated nano-sized pigments for (Co,Mg)$Al_2O_4$ and (Ni,Mg)$Al_2O_4$ with a particle size ranging from 20 to 50 nm. The characteristics of the color tones of (Co,Mg)$Al_2O_4$ and (Ni,Mg)$Al_2O_4$ were analyzed by CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ measurements. In addition, the thermal stability and the binding characteristics of (Co,Mg)$Al_2O_4$, (Ni,Mg)$Al_2O_4$ are discussed in terms of the TG-DSC and FT-IR results, respectively.

Hot-dip Zn-Mg-Al coatings have a complex microstructure consisting of Zn, Al, and MgZn₂ phases. Its crystal structure depends on alloy content and cooling rates. Microstructure and corrosion resistance of these coatings might be affected by heat treatment. To investigate effect of heat treatment on microstructure and corrosion resistance of Zn-Mg-Al coatings, Zn-1.5%Mg-1.5%Al coated steel was heated up to 550 ℃ at a heating rate of 80 ℃/s and cooled down to room temperature. At above 500 ℃, the ternary phase of Zn-MgZn₂-Al was melted down. Only Zn and MgZn₂ phases remained in the coating. Heat- and non-heat-treated specimens showed similar corrosion resistance in Salt Spray Test (SST). When a Zn-3.0%Mg-2.5%Al coated steel was subjected to heat treatment at 100 ℃ or 300 ℃ for 200 h and compared with GA and GI coated steels, the microstructure of coatings was not significantly changed at 100 ℃. However, at 300 ℃, most Al in the coating reacted with Fe in the substrate, forming a Fe-Al compound layer in the lower part of the coating. MgZn₂ was preferentially formed in the upper part of the coating. As a result of SST, Zn-Mg-Al coated steels showed excellent corrosion resistance, better than GA and GI.

Kinetic studies were made on the thermal decomposition of hydrated magnesium aluminum double sulfate by a nonisothermal TG method. Thermal analyses of the dehydration of tricosahydrate showed that the reaction proceeded via decahydrate to the anhydrous MgAl2(SO4)4 in the range 50$^{\circ}$to 400$^{\circ}C$. Decomposition of MgAl2(SO4)4 occurred as the two-step between 650$^{\circ}$ and 970$^{\circ}C$. Dehydration of MgAl2(SO4)4$.$23H2O and a 2D diffusion controlled with an activation energy of 16.6kcal/mole, respectively. MgAl2(SO4)4 fitted the contracting volume model with an activation energy of 10.5kcal/mole, and MgSO4 fitted a contracting area model with an activation of 4.5kcal/mole.

본 연구는 DEPHANOX 공정내 분리조에 Al(III) ($Al_2(SO_4)_3{\cdot}17H_2O$)를 주입하여 유출수의 T-P 농도를 0.2 mg/L 이하로 유지하기 위한 주입량을 도출하고 Al(III) 첨가에 따른 질소 및 인 제거 효율을 평가하였다. 반응조 내에 Al(III)을 5, 10, 15 mg/L주입하여도 pH와 알칼리도 저감에 대한 영향은 나타나지 않았으며 반응조 내의 pH는 7~8 사이로 유지하였다. 응집제의 주입량이 증가할수록 유기물과 T-N 제거효율은 감소하였으나, T-P 제거효율은 주입량이 5, 10, 15 mg/L로 증가할수록 76.28, 84.02, 94.66% 증가하였다. Al(III)주입량 15 mg/L에서 유출수의 T-P 농도는 0.17 mg/L로 관찰되어 유출수의 T-P 농도를 0.2 mg/L 이하로 유지하기 위한 Al(III)의 주입량은 최소 15 mg/L 이상임을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 알루미늄 응집에 의한 인 제거 공정에 마그네슘 및 칼슘과 같은 2가의 금속이온을 첨가하였을 경우 인의 응집특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 인을 제거하기 위한 최적 알루미늄 응집 pH는 약 5~6 사이이며, 그 이상 pH에서는 TP 제거효율이 감소하였다. 마그네슘이나 칼슘과 같은 2가의 금속이온을 알루미늄 응집공정에 함께 사용할 경우 pH 6 이상 에서도 TP 및 $H_nPO_4^{n-3}$ 제거효율은 안정적으로 95% 이상을 유지하였다. 응집초기 $Al^{3+}/H_nPO_4^{n-3}$ (Al/P) 몰비가 3 이상에서 TP 제거효율이 80% 이상 높게 유지되었으며, 응집 후 잔류 TP 농도를 0.2 mg/L 이하로 제어하기 위해서는 Al/P 몰비는 약 6 이상 이었다. 마그네슘이나 칼슘 이온을 알루미늄 응집공정에 함께 사용할 경우 TP 제거를 위한 최적의 알루미늄 대비 마그네슘 및 칼슘 이온의 몰비($Al^{3+}/Mg^{2+}$ or $Ca^{2+}$)는 모두 2이었다. 알루미늄 응집공정에 마그네슘이나 칼슘 이온을 함께 사용하면, 동일한 양의 TP를 제거하기 위한 알루미늄 응집제 주입량이 감소하였고, 결과적으로 최종 슬러지 발생량도 감소하였다.

Cordierite powders were prepared from Si(OC2H5)4, Al(OC3H7i)3 and Mg(OC2H5)2 by the sol-gel method. Two different methods were applied for producing fine and homogeneous powders. One is that Si(OC2H5)4 with a lowr rate of hydrolysis was partially hydrolyzed and then Al(OC3H7i)3 and Mg(OC2H5)2 were mixed and reacted. The other is based on the simultaneous hydrolysis of these metal alkoxides using i-C4H9OH which retards the rate of hydrolysis of Al(OC3H7i)3 and Mg(OC2H5)2. It was confirmed that ifne and homogeneous powders were obtained from both methods. Also these powders were calcined at four different temperatures during two hours. X-ray diffraction patterns show only ${\mu}$-cordierite phase at 1000$^{\circ}C$, ${\mu}$-cordierite and ${\alpha}$-cordierite phases at 1100-1200$^{\circ}C$ and ${\alpha}$-cordierite phase at 1300$^{\circ}C$ respectively.

본 연구는 UF공정의 전처리로써 Al(III)계 응집제인 alum과 PACl을 사용한 응집공정 적용 시 두 응집제의 효율 비교 및 잔류 알루미늄 농도를 고려한 최적 운전 조건을 알아보기 위해 응집제 주입농도, 완속교반의 적용 그리고 해수 원수의 pH를 변화하여 UF막 flux 및 잔류 알루미늄 이온 농도를 조사했다. 그 결과 pH 8.0 조건에서 alum의 주입농도가 증가할수록 flux 또한 증가하였으며 완속교반은 UF막 flux를 오히려 감소시킨 것으로 조사된 반면 PACl의 경우 주입농도가 증가할수록 flux는 일부 감소하는 경향을 보였으며 alum과는 반대로 완속교반 적용시 flux 또한 증가하였다. 반면에 pH 6.5 조건에서 alum 주입량이 0.7 mg/L (as Al)일 때 UF막 flux의 효율이 가장 좋았고 잔류 알루미늄 농도는 0.05 mg/L (as Al) 이하로 측정되었다. PACl의 경우 UF막 flux 측면에서는 최적 조건은 pH 8.0, 주입농도 1.2 mg/L (as Al) 그리고 완속교반 시간을 적용하였을 때였으며 잔류 알루미늄 농도를 고려한 최적 주입조건은 pH 6.5 조건에서 주입농도를 1.2 mg/L (as Al)일 때로 조사되었다.

In the present work, the effect of adding Ce on the corrosion behavior of Mg-4Al-2Sn-1Ca alloy was investigated. The studied alloys were fabricated by gravity casting method and a potentiodynamic polarization, A.C. impedance and hydrogen evolution tests were carried out in a 3.5% NaCl solution with pH 7.2 at room temperature to measure the corrosion properties of Mg-4Al-2Sn-1Ca-xCe alloys. The microstructure of the Mg-4Al-2Sn-1Ca alloy was composed of ${\alpha}$-Mg, Mg17Al12, Mg2Sn and CaMgSn phase. Also, a $Al_{11}Ce_3$ phase was newly formed by the addition of Ce. With an increase of the Ce contents, the microstructure became refined and the corrosion resistance improved.

$Al_2O_3-ZrO_2$ ceramics was obtained by the co-precipitation method using $Al_2(SO_4)_2$.$18H_2O$ and $ZrOCl_2$.$8H_2O$ as starting materials $MgCl_2$.$6H_2O$ as a sintering aid and NH4OH as a hydrolyzing agent. The coprecipitate from the above raw materials was calcined at 125$0^{\circ}C$ for 1h and again sintered at 1$650^{\circ}C$ for 2h before measurements of strength hardness and fracture toughness. MgO addition was found to increase mechanical properties of the $Al_2O_3-ZrO_2$ system. The strength and frac-ture toughness of $Al_2O_3-ZrO_2$ ceramics were considered to be increased by stress-induced phase tranforma-tion of $ZrO_2$.

The effect of Al addition on the precipitation behavior of a binary Mg-Zn alloy was investigated based on the changes in the morphology, distribution and element concentration of precipitates formed during aging treatment. The as-cast Mg-6.0 mass%Zn (Mg-6Zn) and Mg-6.0 mass%Zn-3.0 mass%Al (Al-added) were homogenized at 613 K for 48 h and at 673 K for 12 h; they were then solid solution treated at 673 K for 0.5 h and 1 h, respectively. The Mg-6Zn and Al-added alloys were aged at 403 K and 433 K. The peak hardness of the Al-added alloy was higher than that of the Mg-6Zn alloy at each aging temperature. Rod-like, plate-like, blocky, and lath-like precipitates were observed in the Al-added alloy aged at 433 K for 230.4 ks, although the rod-like and plate-like precipitates were observed in the TEM microstructure of the Mg-6Zn alloy aged at 433 K for 360 ks. Moreover, the precipitates in the Al-added alloy were refined and densely distributed compared with those in the Mg-6Zn alloy. The Cliff-Lorimer plots obtained by the EDS analysis of the rod-like ${\beta}_1^'$ and plate-like ${\beta}_2^'$ phases in the Al-added alloy peak aged at 433 K for 230.4 ks were examined. It was confirmed that the ${\beta}_2^'$ phases had higher concentration of solute Al atom than was present in the ${\beta}_1^'$ phases, indicating that the properties of precipitates can be changed by Al addition.
