In the event of a fire in the lower space, a high temperature of 1000℃ or more and an explosive fire may occur due to the closed structural features and combustible materials. On the other hand, more than 90% of oyster shells are made of CaCO₃, and when heated to about 700℃ or higher, CaO and CO₂ is generated due to decarboxylation reaction. In this study, we try to infer the amount generated by CO₂ changing the weight of mortar using oyster shells as fine aggregates after heating. in conclusion It is considered that the smaller the particle, the greater the decarboxylation reaction and the greater the weight change.

Photocatalytic zinc oxide powders were prepared from precursor zinc acetate and ammonia solution at elevated temperature, $80^{\circ}C$, by hydrothermal precipitation method. The effect of operating parameters, pH of ammonia solution and concentration of zinc acetate solution, on the characteristics of zinc oxide powders were experimentally examined. Zinc oxide powders prepared at the conditions of pH 11, zinc acetate concentration of 1.0 M, precipitation temperature of $80^{\circ}C$, showed smallest average particle diameter of $3{\mu}m$. SEM and XRD analysis confirmed that prepared zinc oxide has hexagonal rods structure, and Anatase type crystallinity. In addition, DRS and PL analysis showed that the zinc oxide has activity at the range of 200~400 nm of UV light. And the zinc oxide decomposed 57% of a food-color stamp Brilliant blue FCF for 3 hours under the UV radiation.

We prepared γ-alumina beads using the amorphous alumina, obtained by fast calcination of gibbsite, and its were immersed in aqueous solution of the mixture of 21.87% nitric acid and 28.57% acetic acid. The beads thus were hydrothermaly treated at 200$^{\circ}$C for 3h, and were investigated changes of crystal, pore characteristics, $N_2$ adsorption and desorption isotherms, mechanical strengths and thermal resistance. Acicular platelet crystals of 0.1∼0.3${\mu}$m were transformed into acicular boehmite crystals of 1∼2${\mu}$m having the same crystal structure. Through this changes, we found that reversible phase transformation due to hydrothermal reaction took placed between boehmite and ${\gamma}$-alumina. In comparison to the ${\gamma}$-alumina bead before hydrothermal treatment, $N_2$ adsorption capacity was increased from 450㎖/g to 670㎖/g, and pore volume between 100${\AA}$ and 1000${\AA}$ was increased form 0.15㎖/g to 0.77㎖g, and mechanical strength was increased form 1.4MPa to 2.2MPa. Also, it showed the remarkable thermal resistance which sustained ${\theta}$-alumina crystal structure and pores between 100${\AA}$ and 1000${\AA}$ at 1000$^{\circ}$C in 40vol% steam.

This research was planned to evaluate the structural performance of post tensioned(PT) concrete member subjected to fire. Prime objective was to suggest some techniques to evaluate the performance of post tensioned concrete beam and slab exposed to high temperature through experiment. To accomplish this objective, the following two scopes have been proceeded to verify the strength reducing ratio of strands and find out the difference of resisting force at the PT concrete members exposed to high temperature through the fire test. The properties of prestressing steel(tendon) in PT concrete beam and slab under variable temperatures were reviewed. The test of this study was shown that stress relaxation occurred at high temperature, and some restoration of tensional force appeared as it got cooling down. The residual tension of the post tensioned beams at 4 hours after reaching the target temperature were 70% at $400^{\circ}C$, 10% at $600^{\circ}C$ and 2% at $800^{\circ}C$. The post tensioned slabs were 94% at $400^{\circ}C$, 84.5% at $600^{\circ}C$ and 62% at $800^{\circ}C$. The reason why the residual tension loss of the post tensioned slab was relatively small was considered to be that the slab was exposed just one side to high temperature and the strength of the strand was restored larger than that of beam. Also, it was confirmed that the post tensioned member inevitably experienced the loss of strength by fire damage, and restoration design of the member should be required to compensate for the value as much as lost strength.

A fire outbreak in a reinforcement concrete structure looses the organism by the different contraction and expansion of hardened cement pastes and aggregate, and causes cracks by thermal stress, leading to the deterioration of the durability. So concrete reinforcement structure is damaged partial or whole structure system. Therefore diagnosis of deterioration is needed based on mechanism of fire deterioration in general concrete structures. Fundamental information and data on the properties of concrete exposed to high temperature are necessary for accurate diagnosis of deterioration. In this study, it was presented data for the accurate diagnosis and selection of repair and reinforcement system for the deteriorated concrete heated highly, various concrete such as standard design compressive strength, fine aggregate and admixture were exposed to a high temperature environment. And fundamental data were measured engineering properties such as explosive spatting, ultrasonic pulse velocity and compressive strength.

Phosphorus was incorporated into Co/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst for FTS by impregnating an acidic precursor, phosphoric acid, in ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ support to improve the mechanical strength, the hydrothermal stability of the catalyst particle, and the catalytic performance as well. Surface characterization techniques such as FT-IR revealed that $AlPO_4$ phase was generated on the surface of the P-modified catalyst. The addition of phosphorus was found to alleviate the interaction between cobalt and alumina surface, and to increase reducibility of catalyst. The catalytic activity such as $C_{5+}$ productivity and turnover frequency (TOF) was calculated to evaluate catalytic performance. The influence of calcination temperature of the $Al_2O_3$ containing 2 wt.% P on the catalytic performance was also investigated. Through hydrothermal stability test and XRD analysis, the P-modified catalyst had strong resistant to the pressurized and hot $H_2O$. The mechanical strength of the P-modified catalyst was also examined through an in-house fluidized-bed vessel, and it was found that the catalyst fragmentation could be successfully suppressed with P. Taken as a whole, the best performance was shown to be at 1~2 wt.% P in alumina and at the calcination temperature of $500^{\circ}C$.

이성분 산화물인 ZnO/$TiO_2$ core-shell 나노입자는 core-shell 구조의 특성과 이성분 산화물의 상호작용에 의해서 염료감응형 태양전지의 효율향상을 기대할 수 있다. Znic acetate($Zn_2(CH_3COO)$)와 Titanium(IV) butoxide($Ti(OBu)_4$)를 이용하여 ZnO 나노입자를 수열합성하고 그 주의에 $TiO_2$을 가수분해 반응을 이용하여 둘러싸는 core-shell형태의 물질을 합성하였다. 그 이후 결정성 및 유기물 제거를 위해서 4시간 동안 고온에서 소성하였다. SEM 결과에 따르면 소성 온도를 600도까지 증가시키면 ZnO의 경우 나노입자의 크기가 증가하는 경향을 확인하였다. 하지만 core-shell의 경우는 ZnO의 뭉침현상을 $TiO_2$이 방해하여 초기합성된 크기와 동일한 크기를 유지하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 XRD 결과에 따르면 주변에 형성된 $TiO_2$ 이외에 $Zn_2TiO_4$의 spinel 구조를 가지는 물질이 합성되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 합성된 core-shell 구조의 나노입자는 약 40~50 nm의 크기를 가지고 600도에서 소성된 입자의 경우 산소 정공이 거의 없는 약 3 eV의 밴드갭을 가지는 물질로 합성이 되었다. Core-shell 나노입자의 경우 염료 감응형 태양전지의 반도체 물질로 응용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

박막형 태양전지에서 광흡수층으로 널리 쓰이는 metal chalcogenide 화합물 중, CuInS2(CIS)은 전기적, 광학적 특성이 우수하여 널리 연구되고 있다. CIS계 태양전지 최근 동시 증발법을 이용하여 20.3%의 고효율을 기록한 바 있으나 기존 진공, 고온 기반 공정 기술은 초기 투자 비용이 높고, 고가의 희귀원소인 In 등의 원료 활용도가 떨어져 원가 절감에 있어 한계가 있다. 이에 따라 제조 비용 절감과 원료 사용 효율을 향상시키기 위해 비진공 방식을 이용한 광흡수 층 증착 공정에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 상온, 상압, 저온에서 합성이 가능한 CIS계 광흡수층을 전자 전달 및 빛 포집에 유리한 ZnO 나노구조와 응용함으로써 superstrate 구조의 박막형 태양전지를 구현하고 그 특성을 평가하였다. CIS 박막 태양전지에서 투명창층으로 쓰이는 ZnO 박막을 수열합성법으로 합성된 ZnO 나노로드 어레이로 대체하여 빛 산란 효과를 줄이고, 전하 수집 및 이동 효과를 극대화하였다. 또한 CIS 광흡수층은amine계 용매와 금속염 및 thiourea를 조합하여 저온에서 코팅 후 건조시켜 박막을 제조하였다. 각 요소 박막들의 물성을SEM, XRD, UV-transmittance 분석을 통해 살펴보았으며, 소면적 태양전지 제작을 통해 박막 구조 대비 30배 이상의 광변환효율(최고효율 3.30%)을 기록하였다.
