A series of micro- and mesoporous activated carbons were prepared from phenolic resin using a metal treated chemical activation methodology. $N_2$-adsorption data were used to characterize the surface properties of the produced activated carbons. Results of the surface properties and pore distribution analysis showed that phenolic resin can be successfully converted to micro- and mesoporous activated carbons with specific surface areas higher than $962.3m^2/g$. Activated carbons with porous structure were produced by controlling the amount of metal chlorides($CdCl_2$, $CuCl_2$). Pore evolvement was shown to be most effected by the incremental addition of metal chloride. From the thermodynamic DSC data, enthalpy formations(${\Delta}H$) of first endothermic reaction were increase with the incremental addition of metal chloride.

In order to evaluate the durability of reinforced concrete structures under chloride attack from sea water and frost damage, it is important to analyze both the microstructural characteristics of concrete and its diffusion resistance of concrete against chloride ingress. In this study, a relation between micro-pore structures of concrete obtained by the Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry and accelerated chloride diffusivity as well as long term chloride diffusivity were studied for ground granulated blast furnace slag(GGBS) concrete. Different water-cement ratio of 40, 45, 50% and different unit cement concrete of 300, 350, 400 or 450 kg/$m^3$ of the GGBS concrete along with OPC concrete were used and freeze and thawing, and the change in diffusivity and microstructure were observed for both GGBS concrete and damaged GGBS concrete due to rapid freezing and thawing.

The $FeCl_3$ solution has been used as an etchant for etching of metal. It is necessary to reuse the etching solution because waste $FeCl_3$ etchant generated after use has provided environmental and economic problems. In this study, HCl was mixed with the $FeCl_2$ solution and then $H_2O_2$ was added into the mixed solution to oxidize the $Fe^{2+}$. During the oxidation process, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) was measured and the relationship between ORP and oxidation ratio was investigated. As a result, this study found that the ORP was increased with increasing the concentration of HCl and $H_2O_2$, while the ORP is decreased with oxidation progress. Such a behavior was in good agreement with Nernst's equation. Also, the oxidation efficiency reached about 99% when a sufficient amount of HCl and $H_2O_2$ were added.

In general after the etching process, waste etching solution contains metals. (ex. Nickel (Ni), Chromium (Cr), Zinc (Zn), etc.) In this work, we proposed a recycling process for waste etching solution and refining from waste liquid contained nickel to make nickel metal nano powder. At first, the neutralization agent was experimentally selected through the hydrolysis of impurities such as iron by adjusting the pH. We selected sodium hydroxide solution as a neutralizing agent, and removed impurities such as iron by pH = 4. And then, metal ions (ex. Manganese (Mn) and Zinc (Zn), etc.) remain as impurities were refined by D2EHPA (Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid). The nickel powders were synthesized by liquid phase reduction method with hydrazine ($N_2H_4$) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The resulting nickel chloride solution and nickel metal powder has high purity ( > 99%). The purity of nickel chloride solution and nickel nano powders were measured by EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic) titration method with ICP-OES (inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer). FE-SEM (field emission scanning electron microscopy) was used to investigate the morphology, particle size and crystal structure of the nickel metal nano powder. The structural properties of the nickel nano powder were characterized by XRD (X-ray diffraction) and TEM (transmission electron microscopy).

The sword with a ring pommel, which was excavated from the first stone chamber of the ancient tombs of Jeongchon Village in Naju, is a sword with a pentagon undecorated ring pommel consisting of a mother sword and two child swords. The sword with an undecorated ring pommel of Jeongchon comprises a ring pommel, a hilt, a knife, and a knife end decoration. This sword was coated with lacquer. The ring pommel is an iron frame covered with silver plate; however the silver tarnished into a light purple due to silver chloride corrosion, and iron corrosion originated from the inside is visible on the surface. Silver chloride corrosion is produced when silver objects are exposed to water, dissolved salts, and dissolved chloride ions when in a buried state. It changes objects into powder, making it difficult to preserve original shapes. The other silver artifacts found in the Jeongchon ancient tombs show similar signs of corrosion. The results of X-ray irradiation and a CT analysis showed that the sword had a ring at the end of the handle, a T-shaped hilt, and was probably connected to the handle end of a knife. If the shape of the mother sword can be inferred from the child swords, the mother sword had a ring pommel, decorations of the handle, covered with silver plate, and a gold ring and a silver line wound around the handle. It is assumed that the ring pommel was connected to the knife by welding because no holes were observed. The end decoration of the knife was made by using an iron plate formed into a shape, half covered by silk, and the other half decorated with silver plate and a gold ring. The sword with an undecorated ring pommel excavated from the ancient tombs of Jeongchon Village comprises the metals of gold, silver, and iron, and includes features of Baekje, Silla, and Gaya, which highlights the influence of surrounding historic sites and various cultures.

To investigate the effect of calcium chloride ($CaCl_2$) using for deicing salts in winter on gas exchange and stomatal responses of 3-year-old Prunus serrulata, we treated twice (1 L) $CaCl_2$ solution (0.5%, 1.0% and 3.0%) in the root zone before leaf unfolding. Stomatal conductance ($g_s$), photosynthetic rate ($P_n$), transpiration rate ($T_r$) and water use efficiency (WUE) in the leaves of P. serrulata were decreased with increasing of $CaCl_2$ concentration. Even though stomatal conductance and photosynthetic rate were reduced by $CaCl_2$, intercellular $CO_2$ concentration ($C_i$) in $CaCl_2$ treatments has similar or higher values compared with control. These results suggest that non-stomatal limitation as well as stomatal limitation induced the reduction of photosynthetic rate together. On the other hands, treatment of $CaCl_2$ before leaf unfolding also affected leaf morphology traits. We proposed that reductions of stomatal length and leaf size and high pore density with increasing salinity is adaptative mechanism to reduce the water loss in plant.

The present study investigated the effect of a water-washing process, which is part of the acid hydrometallurgical process for recovery of high purity of zinc, on the removal of alkali metals and chlorides (Na, K, Ca, Cl) from Electric arc furnace dust (EAFD). Two EAFD samples with different properties were characterized by particle size, XRD and element analysis, and their washing efficiencies (%) on alkali metals and chlorides were compared according to pH, washing time, liquid to solid (L/S) ratio and number of washings. The results show that the alkali metals and chlorides could be effectively removed by the washing (at L/S ration of 3 for more than 30 min., pH 10~11) while minimizing loss of zinc (<0.1%), in which the washing efficiency was Na-78%, K-76%, Cl >99%, respectively. Na and K could be removed up to 97% and 89% respectively by 3 times of repeated washings. With increased sample volume (10 times) of the mixed (1:1, w/w) sample with two types of EAFD, it was confirmed that the pH(10~11) can be used as the main process control parameter for the washing of the alkali metals regardless of EAFD properties.

Environmental issues on the waste emission and its treatment are of great interest in these days. In order to resolve the pollution problems, recycling the waste materials is generally recommended. Especially, emission of waste acids in designated sources is increasing every year. In this study, we focused on the effective recycling of the waste acids rather than treatments. Management systems of the waste acids are not systematically designed, and the quality of the waste regulation on the recycling product is unclear in domestic and foreign countries. We surveyed the present conditions on domestic waste emission and recycling of waste acids. For the final analysis of the recycling products, iron chloride, iron sulfate, copper cyanide, copper oxides, and cement copper are selected as candidates. We expect that this article would help establishing the systematic management system on treating the waste acid materials.
