Nowadays, LEDs has been applied to the luminescent devices of various fields because of the invention of high efficient blue chip. Recently, especially, the white LEDs composed of InGaN blue chips and a yellow phosphor (YAG:Ce3+) have been investigated extensively. With the exception of YAG:Ce3+ phosphor, however, there are no reports on yellow phosphor that has significant emission in the 450~470 nm excitation range and this LED system is the rather low color rendering index due to their using two wavelength. Hence, we have attempted to synthesize thiogallate phosphors that efficiently under the long wavelength excitation range in the present case. Among those phosphors, we have synthesized Sr2Ga2S5:Eu2+ phosphor by change the host material of SrGa2S4:Eu2+ which is well known phosphor and we investigated the luminescent properties. In order to obtain the harmlessness and simplification of the synthesis process, sulfide materials and mixture gas of 5 % H2/95 % N2 were used instead of the CS2 or H2S gas. The prepared phosphor shows the yellow color peaking at the 550 nm wavelength and it possible to emit efficiently under the broad excitation band in the range of 300~500 nm. And this phosphor shows high luminescent intensity more than 110 % in comparison with commercial YAG:Ce3+ phosphor and it can be applied for UV LED due to excitation property in UV region.

The HF (Hollow fiber) extraction method was optimized to analysis seven species of pesticides in aqueous sample and analyzing samples by GC/MS. Hollow fiber extraction showed good efficiency when it was conducted under these conditions: organic solvent was toluene and agitation speed was 1200 rpm. The 15% concentration of NaCl was optimized when it was experimented between 5% and 25%. The equilibrium time was determined at 15 minutes. The pH 5 showed the best effect on the extraction efficiency. The linearities of calibration curves of seven species were good with correlation of regression ($r^2$) over 0.995 when they were experimented over a concentration range of $5{\mu}g/L$ to $50{\mu}g/L$. The analytical data exhibited the detection of limits (LODs) range of $0.37{\mu}g/L$ to $1.23{\mu}g/L$ and the limit of quantification (LOQs) range of $1.19{\mu}g/L$ to $3.91{\mu}g/L$. The optimized HF-LPME extraction method provides a simple and effective preparation and requires small amount of organic solvents and samples compared to conventional pre-treatment methods.

Yeast is immobilized upon $100{\mu}m$ CPG(controlled pore glass bead) to separate $Sb^{3+}$ and $Sb^{5+}$. Continuous hydride generation is performed after the bio-column. The optimum conditions are 0.8 M nitric acid as an eluent with the flow rate of 1.0 mL $min^{-1}$ and the optimum conditions for the generation of hydride are 2 M HCl, 3% (w/v) $NaBH_4$ with the flow rate of 0.83 mL $min^{-1}$, Ar carrier gas flow rate of 50 mL $min^{-1}$. Two species are separated at 112 and 354 seconds each. The sensitivity is enhanced by 10 times for $200{\mu}L$ of sample and the detection limits are 3.0 ppb and 7.0 ppb for $Sb^{3+}$ and $Sb^{5+}$, respectively. When compared with the standard samples, this method showed accurate results.

Direct coating of catalyst layer on the $Nafion^{(R)}$ membrane has been optimized in the process of fabrication of membrane electrode assembly (MEA) to enhance the performance of direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). In this method, the contact resistance at the interface of the catalyst layer and the membrane was found to be low. The effect of catalyst loading, thickness of membrane and the gas diffusion layer (GDL) with or without the presence of micro-porous layer (MPL) on the performance of the MEA was also investigated. The MEA fabricated by the above-mentioned method exhibited a performance of $147\;mW/cm^2$ and $100\;mW/cm^2$ at $80^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively, with the catalysts loading of $4\;mg/cm^2$.

Effects of storage method and duration on the post-storage quality changes of deastringencied persimmons were investigated. Astringent persimmons(Diospyros kaki T. cv. Chungdobansi) were treated for 39 hours in 70% CO$_2$+5% O$_2$ at 25 $\^{C}$ for astringency removal, and then stored in CA(5%CO$_2$+3%O$_2$, 8%CO$_2$+3%O$_2$), MAP(0.06 mm LDPE film, 5.2%CO$_2$+6.8%O$_2$) and air at 0$\^{C}$ for 15, 45, 75 arnd 105 days. Subsequent to the storage, persimmons were held in air at 10$\^{C}$ for 4 days. The difference of firmness loss in relations to storage methods at O$\^{C}$ during holding at 10$\^{C}$ observed in fruits stored above 45 days at 0$\^{C}$, CA(8%CO$_2$+3%O$_2$) storage was more retarded the firmness loss than the others. Soluble solids during holding at 10$\^{C}$ trended to decrease in fruits stored above 75 days at 0$\^{C}$, CA and MAP storage were a little effective to keeping soluble solids. Titratable acidity during holding at 10$\^{C}$, decreased in fruits stored until 75 days at 0$\^{C}$ regardless storage methods. Sensory characteristics, color, hardness and overall acceptability of fruits stored in CA were significantly higher than those of fruits stored in MAP and air during shelf-life at 10$\^{C}$ after long-term storage at 0$\^{C}$ . These results show that the storage conditions had residual effect on the quality of deastringencied persimmons during shelf-life after long-term storage.

Effects of elevated carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) on soil microbial processes were studied in a northern peatland. Intact peat cores with surface vegetation were collected from a northern Welsh fen, and incubated either under elevated carbon dioxide (700 ppm) or ambient carbon dioxide (350 ppm) conditions for 4 months. Higher algal biomass was found under the elevated $CO_2$ condition, suggesting $CO_2$ fertilization effect on primary production, At the end of the incubation, trace gas production and consumption were analyzed using chemical inhibitors. For methane ($CH_4$ ), methyl fluoride ($CH_3F$) was applied to determine methane oxidation rates, while acetylene ($C_2H_2$) blocking method were applied to determine nitrification and denitrification rates. First, we have adopted those methods to optimize the reaction conditions for the wetland samples. Secondly, the methods were applied to the samples incubated under two levels of $CO_2$. The results exhibited that elevated carbon dioxide increased both methane production (210 vs. $100\;ng\;CH_4 g^{-1}\;hr^{-1}$) and oxidation (128 vs. $15\;ng\;CH_4 g^{-1}\;hr^{-1}$), resulting in no net increase in methane flux. For nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) , elevated carbon dioxide enhanced nitrous oxide emission probably from activation of nitrification process rather than denitrification rates. All of these changes seemed to be substantially influenced by higher oxygen diffusion from enhanced algal productivity under elevated $CO_2$.

In the present study, pure RHO zeolite was hydrothermally synthesized by using 18-crown-6 ether as a structure directing agent(SDA), and the small gases adsorption was investigated. Synthesized RHO zeolite was a cube shape particle of which average edge length was around $1.2{\mu}m$ and composed of primary crystallites having a diameter of around 100 to 200 nm. RHO zeolite structure was stable under 3h calcination at $600^{\circ}C$. Water adsorption data announced that RHO zeolite has a specific surface area of 483.32 m2/g and its micropore diameter was about 4 A. Gas adsorption was studied in the pressure range of 50 to 500 kPa for $CO_2$, $N_2$, $O_2$ and $H_2$. It was evident that RHO zeolite showed a strong $CO_2$ adsorption behavior. Especially, RHO zeolite showed a transient $CO_2$ adsorption behavior. The 3h $CO_2$ up-take at 50 kPa and 500 kPa was 1.283 and 3.357 mmol/g, respectively. The $CO_2/H_2$ selectivity was around 16 at 500 kPa. Compared with gas adsorption data for some representative microporous adsorbents, it was certain that RHO zeolite is a beneficial adsorbent for $CO_2/H_2$ separation.

With the aim of remediating soils contaminated by heavy metals and oil, experimental research was conducted to evaluate the optimal design factors for remediation in terms of efficient soil washing methods and processes. The experiments employed absorptiometric analysis and gas chromatography methods to reduce the concentration of heavy metals such as cooper (Cu), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn), and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in contaminated soils. The experimental processes consisted of deciding on the washing solution, washing time, and dilution ratio for contaminated soils. A dissolution analysis of heavy metals was then performed by the addition of surfactant, based on the results of the decision experiments, and the injection processes of microbes and hydrogen peroxide were selected. The experimental results revealed that reduction effects in contaminated soils under the experimental conditions were most efficient with hydrochloric acid 0.1 mole, washing time 1 hour, and dilution ratio 1:3, individually. Additional reduction effects for heavy metals and TPH were found with the addition of a washing solution of 1% of surfactant. The addition of microbes and hydrogen peroxide caused a reduction in TPH concentration.

In the modified atmosphere packaging of powdered infant formula, the oxygen inside the package may cause its quality deterioration and needs to be minimized for quality preservation. A way of oxygen scavenger inclusion in the single-serve package without contacting the product was devised for removing oxygen residing initially and permeating through the seal layer during the storage. A polyethylene/pulp multi-layer porous filter bag of 5 × 7 cm containing 13 g of powdered infant formula was packaged in an 8 × 9 cm size aluminium laminated film package with a Fe-based oxygen scavenger of 1.8 g. After nitrogen flushed packaging, the active packages were stored at 30℃ for 254 days with periodical quality measurement. The active package could remove the initial residual oxygen of 1.4% completely and maintain absence of oxygen for the whole storage, which contributed to reduced oxidation observed in lower product peroxide value compared to that of the product in the control package. There was no influence of packaging treatment on content of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, reaction product of initial nonenzymatic browning. The devised oxygen-scavenging single-serve package showed a potential to improve the preservation of infant formula powder and extend the shelf life.

소수성의 특성을 가지는^g , pp (polypropylene)의 표면을 이온 보조 반응법(IAR)으로 처리하여 친수성으로 개질하였다. 이온빔 보조 반응법은 고에너지 이온빔을 이용한 기존의 표면처리 방식과는 달리 1keV 영역의 에너지를 가진 이온빔을 조사하면서 시료 주위에 반응성 가스를 불어넣어 줌으로써 표면의 성질을 변화시키는 방법이다. 여기서 조사된 수소이온의 에너지는 0.6에서 1.0keV까지 변화시키고 시료의 주변에 불어주는 산소의 양은 0에서 8ml/min으로 변화시켰으며 이온 조사량은 5x1014에서 1x1017ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$까지 변화시켰다. 그 결과 처리하지 않은 시료의 접촉각은 93$^{\circ}$이었으며 이온조사량이 1x1017ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$이고 가속에너지가 1.0keV인 조건에서 수소 이온빔만으로 처리한 시편의 경우 접촉각은 60$^{\circ}$정도 였으나 수소이온보조 반응법으로 처리한 시편의 경우는 $10^{\circ}$이하까지 접촉각이 감소하였음을 알 수 있었다. 이는 표면처리에 따른 표면의 친수성 작용기의 형성을 예상할 수 있으며 그 존잴르 확인하기 위하여 대기중과 물속에서 각각 보관한 시료의 접촉각과 표면에너지를 계산하여보았다. 그 결과 대기중에서 방치한 시편의 경우40$^{\circ}$ 정도로 감소하였으나 증류수에 보관한 시료의 경우는 15$^{\circ}$정도의 변화를 보였다. 물과 Formamide의 접촉각의 측정으로 표면에너지를 계산한 결과 산소분위기에서 수소이온빔으로 처리된 시료는 23dyne/cm에서 64dyne/cm이상까지 변화함을 관찰하였다. 위의 결과들이 표면거칠기에 미치는 영향을 고찰하기 위해 처리되지 않은^g , pp 의 근(root mean square)값은 8.30nm이었고 1kevdpsj지에서 불어준 산소4ml/min이고 이온 조사량이 1x1017ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$인 경우 접촉각은 $10^{\circ}$를 나타냈으며 rms값은 20.8nm를 나타내었다. XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) 분석을 통하여 1x1017ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$에서 산소기체를 4ml/min 불어넣어준 후 C-O, C=O, (C=O)-O등의 친수성 작용기가 형성되었음을 확인하였다.^g , pp 의 접착력을 알아보기 위해 유성 페인트를 전도성 고분자위에 후막 처리하였다. 스카치 테이프를 테스트를 통하여 이온 보조 반응법으로 처리된^g , pp 표면이 처리하지 않은 시편에 비하여 접착력 향상되었음을 확인하였다.
