With rapid increasing production and installation, recycling of photovoltaic modules has become the main issue. According to the research, the accumulation of waste modules will reach to 8600 tons in 2030. Moreover, Crystalline-silicon (c-Si) Photovoltaic modules account for more than 90% of the waste. C-Si PV modules contain 1.3% of weight of photovoltaic ribbon inside which contains the most of lead, tin and copper in the PV modules, which would cause environmental and humility problem. This study provided a valuable metal separation process for PV ribbons. Ribbons content 82.1% of Cu, 8.9% of Sn, 5.2% of Pb, and 3.1% of Ag. All of them were leached by 3M of hydrochloric acid in the optimal condition. Ag was halogenated to AgCl and precipitated. Cu ion was extracted and separated from Pb and Sn by Lix984N then stripped by 3M H2SO4. The effect of the optimal parameters of extraction was also studied in this essay. The maximum extraction efficiency of Cu ion was 99.64%. The separation condition of Pb and Sn were obtained by adjusting the pH value to 4 thought ammonia to precipitate and separate Pb and Sn. The recovery of Pb and Sn can reach 99%.

In order to simulate the leaching solution of copper sulfide ore in $FeCl_3$ solutions, synthetic solutions with composition of $FeCl_3$-$FeCl_2$-$CuCl_2$-CuCl-NaCl-HCl-$H_2O$ were prepared. The concentration of iron and copper chloride was varied from 0.1 to 1 m in synthetic solutions. The effect of composition on the mixed solution pH and potential at $25^{\circ}C$ was measured. When HCl concentration was constant, the increase of CuCl concentration increased solution pH. The increase of other solutes excluding HCl and CuCl decreased solution pH owing to the increase of the activity coefficient of hydrogen ion. A high CuCl concentration favored the redox equilibrium in the direction of Cu(I), while $FeCl_3$ had the opposite effect.

Material and electrical properties of copper-based ohmic contacts on n-type 4H-SiC were investigated for the effects of the post-annealing and the metal covering conditions. The ohmic contacts were prepared by sequential sputtering of Cu and Si layers on SiC substrate. The post-annealing treatment was performed using RTP (rapid thermal process) in vacuum and reduction ambient. The specific contact resistivity ($p_{c}$), sheet resistance ($R_{s}$), contact resistance ($R_{c}$), transfer length ($L_{T}$), were calculated from resistance (RT) versus contact spacing (d) measurements obtained from TLM (transmission line method) structure. The best result of the specific contact resistivity was obtained for the sample annealed in the reduction ambient as $p_{c}= 1.0 \times 10^{-6}\Omega \textrm{cm}^2$. The material properties of the copper contacts were also examined by using XRD. The results showed that copper silicide was formed on SiC as a result of intermixing Cu and Si layer.

A new analytical reagent N-benzylisonitrosoacetylacetone imine (H-IAA-N-Bz) has been synthesized and identified its structure by IR, NMR and mass spectra. H-IAA-N-Bz forms a copper chloroform-soluble complex in a basic aqueous solution (pH = 7.0∼10.0). The other optimum conditions for the spectrophotometric study of the copper complex have been determined at 420nm. Beer's law is obeyed below the concentration of 64$\mu$g of copper per 10ml of chloroform. The composition of the copper complex has been found to be $Cu(IAA-N-Bz)_2$ and the over-all stability constant is calculated to be $8.55 {\times} 10^6$. The molar absorption coefficient, $\varepsilon$ of the $Cu-(IAA-N-Bz)_2 $complex is 3500l/$cm{\cdot}mol$.

The dinuclear copper(II) complex {[Cu(pmea)Cl][Cu$(H_2O)_3]}Cl_2{\cdot} H_2O$ (1) (Hpmea=bis(2-pyridvlmethyl)amino-2-ethanoic acid) has been synthesized and characterized. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system $P2_1/c$, a=9.0008(6) ${\AA}$, b=28.0171(19) ${\AA}$, c=8.5590(6) ${\AA}$, $\beta$=104.2280(10)$^{\circ}$, V=2092.2(2) ${\AA}^3$, Z=4. Crystal structure of 1 reveals a syn-anti carboxylate-bridged dinuclear complex, in which the coordination environment around each copper atom exhibits a distorted square-pyramid and a distorted square plane, respectively.

The embryotoxic effects of PCB (Aroclor 1248) on a Korean frog, Rana dybowskii was deter-mined by using the FETAX (Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay-Xenopus) protocol. The rates of mortality and malformed larvae were investigated by probit analysis. The results showed that PCB is highly embryolethal. From LC$_{50}$ of 1.48ppb and from EC$_{50}$ of 0.25ppb and TI of 5.7 were derived, which indicates PCB is to be considered a teratogenic compound. Specific malformations occurred in 62.0% as edema at the 0.1ppb, in 32.0% as tail deformations at the 1ppb, and in 68.0% as profound deformations at the 5ppb of PCB concentration which living embryos were exposed to. PCB suppressed the growth of head-tail length at a relatively low concentration (1.0ppb), and therefore growth inhibition as assessed by embryo length can be used as a sensitive indicator to evaluate the toxicity of pollutants in the environment. In conclusion, PCB must be considered highly embryotoxic to Rana dybowskii.

Silver-alginate and copper-alginate were prepared with Na-alginate extracted from marine brown algae(Sargassum fluitans). The antibacterial effect of Ag-alginate or Cu-alginate against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was carried out by measuring optical density of liquid culture at 600 nm. The cell growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was very active at pH 7, and was inhibited by adding Ag-alginate with more than 0.006 wt.% of silver content. The antibacterial effect of Ag-alginate against S. aureus and E. coli was better than that of Cu-alginate at the same metal concentration. The cell growth of S. aureus was less inhibitory than E. coli at the same concentration of Ag-alginate. The cell growth of S. aureus and E. coli was also influenced by the characteristics of counter ion of silver.

그래핀(graphene)은 탄소나노튜브(CNTs)에 비해 가격 경쟁력이 있고 우수한 광투과성과 전기 및 열 전도성을 갖고 있어 반도체 소재, 방열 소재, 접점 소재 등에 적용 가능성이 높은 재료로 주목받고 있다. 특히 모바일 디바이스의 소형화, 고집적화 등의 이슈로 인해 그래핀 소재의 방열 소재 적용을 위해 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 한편 산화 구리 나노선(CuO Nanowire)은 전기 및 열전도도가 우수하고 1차원 나노 구조는 부피대비 큰 표면적, 종횡비가 커서 뛰어난 열전도 구조로서 방열 소재로 응용되기 좋은 조건을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2차원 구조의 그래핀 나노플레이트(Graphene Nanoplatelet)와 1차원 구조의 CuO NW를 하이브리드화를 통해 열전도도 향상를 개선시키고자 하였다. 소재 합성은 GNP에 Cu 무전해 도금을 진행한 후 열산화 방식을 적용하여 CuO NW를 직접 성장시키는 방식으로 진행하였다. 합성된 GNP-CuONWs 다차원 나노구조체의 열전도도 측정은 에폭시에 분산시켜 레이져 플레쉬법을 이용하였다. 미세 구조 관찰 결과, CuO NW 성장 거동은 열처리 온도 및 시간 그리고 O2 가스의 순환 환경이 주요인자로 작용하는 것을 확인하였다. 열전도도 향상은 다차원 구조의 특성으로 인해 면접촉과 선접촉이 동시에 이루어졌기 때문인 것으로 분석되었으며, 이러한 CuO NWs morphology와 열전도도 향상과의 상관 관계에 대해 논의할 것이다.

An accurate method to measure shielding effectiveness(SE) of EMI spray coating film is presented. After high frequency simulating, Circular coaxial standard test fixture is fabricated. A sample of EMI spray coating film was fabricated for insertion into a circular coaxial standard test fixture. The measuring instrument used an Agilent 8722ES vector network analyzer for the SE measurement. The exact SE of copper and silver mixed spray coating sample was measured by the composition of the measuring instrument and the measuring sample. The SE of copper sample was measured at 70 dB and the SE of copper and silver mixed spray coating sample was measured at 60 dB. As a result of the measurement, the reliability of the circular coaxial standard test fixture was confirmed.
