The glass-ceramics containing bottom ash (B/A) which was a by-produced from an electrical power plant was fabricated and its crystalline phase, microstructure and mechanical properties were analyzed. At first, the glass was fabricated by adding modifier oxide $Li_2O$ to lower the melting temperature of coal bottom ash. The glass obtained was heat-treated by using a 2-stage process to crystallize, that is to say, to increase the degree of crystallization in the glass-ceramics, the first heat treatment for nucleation was performed followed by the secondary one for the growth of nucleates. The main crystalline phase formed in the glass-ceramics was ${\beta}$-spodumene and the secondary phase was $L_2SiO_3$. It was recognized that the degree of crystallization of glass-ceramics was increased with a holding time of the secondary heat treatment stage. In the case of the specimens hold up to 3 hour, the crystallization was not completed and the microstructures and morphologies of crystalline phase were not uniform. In the specimens of holding time over 9 hours, the cracks were generated inside of it, so its compressive strength would decrease due them. In conclusion, it was able to obtain the optimum condition to fabriate the glass-ceramics having the properties of high crystallization degree, uniform microstructures and morphologies and the high mechanical strength.

고체산화물 연료전지는 $800{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$인 고온에서 작동하므로 적용되는 밀봉재의 요구조건은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 SOFC 밀봉재로서 $SiO_2-B_2O_3-RO$계 결정화 유리를 선정하였으며 작동온도 부근에서 결정화를 유도하여 고온점성유동을 제어하고자 하였다. 따라서 $SiO_2-B_2O_3-RO$계에 RO인 CaO, SrO, BaO, MgO를 상호 치환하였을 때 결정상의 생성, 생성온도, 생성결정의 종류가 sealing 특성에 어떠한 영향을 주는가를 검토하였다. 결정화유리를 $800^{\circ}C$로 유지하였을 때 생성되는 주 결정상은 Calsium silicate, Strontium silicate, Barium silicate, Magnesium silicate이였으며 Strontium silicate 의 생성속도가 가장 빨랐으며 결정상은 불산으로 에칭하여 SEM으로 관찰하였다. Barium silicate를 유도한 결정화 유리가 $800^{\circ}C$에서 1000시간 유지하였을 경우 가장 내화학성이 우수하며 강도값도 154MPa로 가장 높았다. 또한 부분 결정화를 통해 $800^{\circ}C$ 점성유동이 제어됨을 고온현미경을 통해 관찰하였다.

다결정 실리콘 박막 트랜지스터를 만들기 위해 가장 많이 사용되는 제작방법은 비정질 실리콘을 기판에 형성한 뒤 결정화 시키는 방법이다. 고온에서 장시간 열처리하는 고상 결정화(SPC)와 레이저를 이용한 결정화(ELA)가 자주 사용되어진다. 그러나 SPC의 경우는 고온에서 장시간 열처리하기 때문에 유리 기판이 변형될 수 있고 ELA의 경우 장비가격이 비싸고 표면일 불균일하다는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이 문제를 해결하기 위해서 화학 기상 증착법(저온 공정)을 이용하여 비정질 실리콘 박막을 증착 시키고, 이를 금속 촉매를 이용하여 금속 유도 결정화 방법(MIC)으로 결정화 시키는 공정을 이용하였다. 유리 기판 상부에 버퍼 층을 형성한 후 플라즈마 화학 기상 증착법(PECVD)을 이용하여 비정질 실리콘을 증착하고 Ni-solution을 이용하여 얇게 Ni 코팅하고 그 시료를 약 $650^{\circ}C$의 Rapid Thermal Annealing(RTA) 공정을 이용하여 비정질 실리콘을 다결정 실리콘으로 결정화 시키는 연구를 진행하였다. Ni 코팅시간은 20분, RTA 공정은 5시간의 진행시간을 거쳐야 최적의 결정화 정도를 만들어낸다.

Endoinulase from Streptomyces sp. S56 was immobilized by adsorption on DEAE-cellulose in 0.01 M citrate-sodium phosphate buffer, pH 6.0 and the properties of immobilized and free enzymes were investigated. The immobilized enzyme preparation, having 40 inulase activity units per dried matrix, revealed the maximal activity at $pH\;4.5{\sim}5.5$ and $55{\sim}60^{\circ}C$ and were most stable at pH 6 and 45^{\circ}C$. The immobilization caused a drop in optimum pH and affinity toward inulin, a slight increase in optimum temperature, an important increase in thermal stability and maximum reaction velocity. The immobilized endoinulase hydrolyzed the tuber extract of jerusalem artichoke and inulin, mainly into fructose and inulobise, degrading 63 and 78% of the total sugar respectively, within 48 hrs in batch reactor.

Microstructures of free surface and interior of glass-ceramics obtained by heat treating silicate glass specimen containing electric arc furnace dust(EAF dust) were observed. The crystallization temperature, $T_c$ of glassy specimen was measured around $850^{\circ}C$ from the result of different thermal analysis so heat treatment temperature to obtain glass-ceramic specimen was selected as $950^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr. Glass specimens containing 50 wt% dust were amorphous, while glass specimens containing 70 wt% dust showed spinel crystal peaks in XRD results. In case of glass-ceramic specimens, spinel crystalline phase was appeared with willemite, and willemite crystal peak intensity increased with increasing dust contents. The fractured surface of glass specimens containing 50 wt% dust was smooth like mirror surface, but that containing 70 wt% dust showed spinel crystals of 10 ${\mu}m$ size in glass matrix. In case of glass-ceramic specimens, ZnO crystal particles of $2{\sim}5{\mu}m$ size were produced in free surface and glassy phase, spinel and willemite crystal phases existed in interior. There were no crystals in glasses containing 50 wt% dust, while glass containing 70 wt% dust had 14 vol% crystals. Crystallinity of glass-ceramic specimens containing 50 and 70 wt% dust were 19 and 43%, respectively. When microstructures of glass and glass-ceramic specimens were observed through SEM after TCLP experiment, glass specimens showed flaking phenomenon while glass-ceramic specimens showed a slight corrosion evidence without any cracks.

Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy(LIBS) system is being developed as an in-situ analysis system for the radioactive waste glass in the cold crucible melter. In order to complete the LIBS system, a spectrometer, a detector, and a laser were structured. An ESA 3000 (LLA Instruments GmbH, Germany) including a calibrated Kodak KAF-1001 CCD detector was selected as the spectrometer. A Q-switched Nd-YAG Brilliant(Quantel, France) laser was selected as an energy source. As the first research stage, the excitation temperatures of Fe(I) as a function of the detector's delay intervals(500, 1000, 1500, 2000ns) were evaluated using the Einstein-Boltzmann equation. The optimized excitation temperature of Fe (I) was 7820k at the delay time of 1500㎱ using the 532nm Nd-YAG laser pulse. This LIBS system will be optimized under the real environment vitrification facility in the near future and then used to be in-situ analyzed the glass compositions in the melter qualitatively.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of equilibration time, precooling and straw loading method on the post-thaw survival rates of mouse embryos cryopreserved by vitrification method. The effect of the vitrification procedure on the damage of the embryos was also examined by the straining of nuclei using Hoechst 33342. The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1. The equilibration in Medium-1 for 10 minutes was considered to be the optimum equilibration time. Embryos equilibrated in Medium-1 for 10 minutes(81.0%) showed significantly(P<0.05) higher survival rates than those equilibrated for 5 minutes(40.0%) or 15 minutes(74.1%). 2. The survival rate of embryos cryopreserved using the double Medium-2 column(81.0%) was significantly(P<0.01) higher than that using the single Medium-2 column, whish was considered to be due to the double Medium-2 column method being more reliable for preventing contamination of diluent solution of 1M sucrose. 3. The survival rate of compacted morula stage embryos cryopreserved with the precooled and non-precooled Medium-2 was not significantly(P<0.05) different. 4. The number of blastomeres of embryos at late blastocyst stage after culture of mouse morulae for 24 to 28hours was significantly(P<0.05) decreased by freezing embryos using vitrification(53.3${\pm}$1.6 vs 41.4${\pm}$1.5), which was considered to be due to the damage of embryos during vitrification and the delay of embryo development by handling in vitro. 5. The vitrification procedure is considered to be a very simple and efficient method for cryopreservation of embryos at early developmental stage.

Glass bottle lightness index has been used as a guideline for the lightness of glass bottle. In this study, we developed a glass bottle lightness index (L) by modifying Emhart's lightness index. Domestic and foreign glass bottle products were collected in Korean market and classified into two groups, returnable bottle and one way glass bottle. Emptied glass bottle weight and volume were measured and written product's content volume were recorded to calculate the L value. Based on L value, 'acceptable' and 'optimum' criteria for design guideline of glass bottle were established for both returnable and one way glass bottles. Many of one way glass bottles failed to meet acceptable criteria (L=1.0), while returnable glass bottles mostly satisfied acceptable range (L=1.4). Few of one way glass bottles were even heavier than returnable glass bottles. Generally lightness index (L) of small size drink glass bottles (100 ml) were above 1.0, while these of juice glass bottles (180 ml) were close to acceptable criteria. Most foreign sauce glass bottles met the acceptable level, however most domestic souse glass bottles failed to satisfy acceptable criteria. A few foreign beer glass bottles satisfied optimum criteria, while most domestic beer glass bottles were acceptable level. Our results reveal that domestic glass bottles are mostly heavier than foreign glass bottles. In this paper, we suggest the use glass bottle lightness index as a design guideline for material resource reduction of glass bottle for Korean food and beverage industries.
