Recycling process involving mechanical, thermal, hydrometallurgical, and sol-gel step has been applied to recover cobalt and lithium from spent lithium ion batteries and to synthesize LiCoO$_2$from leach liquor as cathodic active materials. Electrode materials containing lithium and cobalt could be concentrated with 2-step thermal and mechanical treatment. Leaching behaviors of the lithium and cobalt in nitric acid media was investigated in terms of reaction variables. Hydrogen peroxide in 1 M HNO$_3$solution turned out to be an effective reducing agent by enhancing the leaching efficiency. O f many possible processes to produce LiCoO$_2$, the amorphous citrate precursor process (ACP) has been applied to synthesize powders with a large specific surface area and an exact stoichiometry. After leaching used LiCoO$_2$with nitric acid, the molar ratio of Li/Co in the leach liquor was adjusted at 1.1 by adding a fresh LiNO$_3$solution. Then, 1 M citric acid solution at a 100% stoichiometry was also added to prepare a gelatinous precursor. When the precursor was calcined at 95$0^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr, purely crystalline LiCoO$_2$was successfully obtained. The particle size and specific surface area of the resulting crystalline powders were 20 пm and 30 $\textrm{cm}^2$/g, respectively The LiCoO$_2$powder was proved to have good characteristics as cathode active materials in charge/discharge capacity and cyclic performance.

During the past few decades, significant increase in the consumption of coffee has led to rapid increase in the production of coffee waste in South Korea. Spent coffee waste is often treated as a general waste and is directly disposed without the necessary treatment. Spent Coffee Grounds (SCGs) can release several organic contaminants, including caffeine. In this study, leaching tests were conducted for SCGs and oxidative degradation of caffeine were also conducted. The tested SCGs contained approximately 4.4 mg caffeine per gram of coffee waste. Results from the leaching tests show that approximately 90% of the caffeine can be extracted at each step during sequential extraction. Advanced oxidation methods for the degradation of caffeine, such as $UV/H_2O_2$, photo-Fenton reaction, and $UV/O_3$, were tested. UV radiation has a limited effect on the degradation of caffeine. In particular, UV-A and UV-B radiations present in sunlight cause marginal degradation, thereby indicating that natural degradation of caffeine is minimal. However, $O_3$ can cause rapid degradation of caffeine, and the values of pseudo-first order rate constants were found to be ranging from $0.817min^{-1}$ to $1.506min^{-1}$ when the ozone generation rate was $37.1g/m^3$. Additionally, the degradation rate of caffeine is dependent on the wavelength of irradiation.

The objective of this study was to investigate the patterns of protein leaching to an external phase during an ethyl acetate-based, double emulsion microencapsulation process. An aqueous protein solution (lactoglobulin, lysozyme, or ribonuclease; $W_1$) was emulsified in ethyl acetate containing poly-d,l-lactide-co-glycolide 75:25. The $W_1/O$ emulsion was transferred to a 0.5% polyvinyl alcohol solution saturated with ethyl acetate $(W_2)$. After the double emulsion was stirred for 5, 15, 30, or 45 min, additional 0.5% polyvinyl alcohol $(W_3)$ was quickly added into the emulsion. This so-called quenching step helped convert emulsion microdroplets into microspheres. After 2-hr stirring, microspheres were collected and dried. The degree of protein leaching to $W_2$ and/or $W_3$ phase was monitored during the microencapsulation process. In a separate, comparative experiment, the profile of protein leaching to an external phase was investigated during the conventional methylene chloride-based microencapsulation process. When ethyl acetate was used as a dispersed solvent, proteins continued diffusing to the $W_2$ phase, as stirring went on. Therefore, the timing of ethyl acetate quenching played an important role in determining the degree of protein microencapsulation efficiency. For example, when quenching was peformed after 5-min stirring of the primary $W_1/O$ emulsion, the encapsulation efficiencies of lactoglobulin and ribonuclease were $55.1{\pm}4.2\;and\;45.3{\pm}7.6%$, respectively. In contrast, when quenching was carried out in 45 min, their respective encapsulation efficiencies were $39.6{\pm}3.2\;and\;29.9{\pm}11.2%$. By sharp contrast, different results were attained with the methylene-chloride based process: up to 2 hr-stirring of the primary and double emulsions, less than 5% of a protein appeared in $W_2$. Afterwards, it started to partition from $W_1\;to\;W_2/W_3$, and such a tendency was affected by the amount of PLGA75:25 used to make microspheres. Different solvent properties (e.g., water miscibility) and their effect on microsphere hardening were to be held answerable for such marked differences observed with the two microencapsulation processes.

A porous glass-ceramics body was prepared in the phosphate system. The glass composition of 47.2CaO-22.2TiO2-30.6P2O5 (mol%) containing a few weight percent of ZrO2 was suitable for a mother glass of a porous glass-ceramics. The dense glass-ceramics body was made by a two-step heat treatment of the mother glass. The crystalline phases of the glass-ceramics were $\beta$-Ca3(PO4)2 and CaTi4(PO4)6. The $\beta$-Ca3(PO4)2 phase could be selectively leached out with HCl solution and thus a crystalline $\beta$-Ca3(PO4)2 skeleton was remained. The dimension and shape of the porous glass-ceramics were nearly the same as the those of the first formed glass. The specific surface area and average proe radius of the porous glass-ceramics were 19$m^2$/g and 22 nm, respectively.

Heavy metals recovery from Printed Circuit Boards industrial wastewater is crucial because of its cost effectiveness and environmental friendliness. In this study, a copper recovery route combining the sequential processes of acid leaching and LIX 984N extracting with an electrowinning technique from Printed Circuit Boards production's sludge was performed. The used residual sludge was originated from Hanoi Urban Environment One Member Limited Company (URENCO). The extracted solution from the printed circuit boards waste sludge containing a high copper concentration of 19.2 g/L and a small amount of iron (0.575 ppm) was used as electrolyte for the subsequent electrolysis process. By using a simulation model for multi-step current electrolysis, the reasonable current densities for an electrolysis time interval of 30 minutes were determined, to optimize the specific consumption energy for the copper recovery. The mathematical simulation model was built to calculate the important parameters of this process.

The possibility of producing Cr$_2$O$_3$powder from waste magnesia-chromium refractory was investigated by sulfuric acid reaction, alkali fusion, water leaching & purification and heat treatment. The effects of temperature, the amount of NaOH added and the flow rate of air on chromium extraction efficiency in an alkali fusion step were investigated. The fusion product was leached with methanol to solve free-NaOH, and then leached with water to produce a Na$_2$CrO$_4$solution. The purity of chrome(Ⅵ) oxides, prepared both from monochromate with an impurity content and monochromate purified with $CO_2$were also examined. The purified monochromate solution was reduced from Cr(Ⅵ) to Cr(III) with NaHSO$_3$solution. The reduced solution was neutralized with NaOH to produce Cr(OH)$_3$. Water washing was treated to eliminate Na$_2$SO$_4$from neutralized Cr(OH)$_3$slurry. The washed Cr(OH)$_3$was dried and thermally treated to produce Cr$_2$O$_3$powder. The properties like lightness and hue of Cr$_2$O$_3$fabricated in this study were L=47.47, a=-14.40 and b=17.21.

침출차와 소스류, 전분류의 각 품목에 대하여 PSL과 TL의 적용 가능성을 검토하기 위하여 각 품목별로 다른 선량으로 방사선 조사를 실시하여 PSL과 TL 분석을 하였다. 침출차 2종은 0, 2, 7kGy, 소스류 2종은 0, 5, 7, 10 kGy, 전분류 3종은 0, 2, 5 kGy로 조사를 실시하였다. PSL의 분석 결과, 침출차는 비조사구에서는 threshold value $T_1$(700) 이하의 낮은 값을 나타내었고 2kGy 이상의 조사구에서는 $T_2$(5000) 이상의 높은 값을 나타내어 방사선 조사 여부 확인이 가능하였다. 이에 비해 소스류는 비조사구에서는 $T_1$ 이하의 값이 나타났지만, 5kGy 이상의 조사구에서 1173, 1773의 $T_1$보다 높고 $T_2$보다 낮은 photon count를 나타내어 중간시료로 나타났다. 또한 전분류에서는 비조사구에서 $T_1$보다 높고 $T_2$보다 낮은 중간값을 나타내어 TL 확인 시험을 필요로 하였다. TL 분석에서는 3가지 품목 모두 비조사구에서는 $300^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 최고의 peak를 가지는 glow curve를 나타내거나 특정적인 TL glow curve를 나타내지 않았다. 그리고 조사구에서는 $150{\sim}250^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 비조사구에서 보이지 않았던 특유의 glow curve를 나타내었고, 조사선량에 따른 intensity의 차이도 보이고 있었다 한편 TL 결과를 검증하기 위하여 재조사에 의한 TL ratio를 산출한 결과 비조사구에서는 0.08 이하를 나타내었으나, 각 선량별 조사구에서는 전분류의 경우 0.07 이상의 낮은 값을 나타내기도 하였으나 TL온도범 위와 glow curve의 형태에 따라서 방사선 조사된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 PSL과 TL 분석법의 적용 가능성이 확인되었다.

이산화탄소는 산업의 발달과 더불어 배출이 증가되고 있는 온실가스 중에 하나로 발생되는 이산화탄소의 일부는 탄소순환과정에 의해 자연계로 순환되지만, 순환될 수 있는 범위를 넘어선 이산화탄소는 적절한 포획과 처리가 필요하다. 이산화탄소 처리 기술 중 광물고정화 방법은 영구적으로 이산화탄소를 처리할 수 있는 방법으로 인식되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 광물고정화의 효율을 높이기 위해, 화학적전처리법을 사용하였다. 화학적전처리법(leaching)은 규산염광물의 알칼리토금속성분(Mg, Ca)이 이산화탄소와 탄산염광물화 반응을 통해 광물고정화가 진행되는 방법임에 착안하여, 산(acid)을 이용해 알칼리토금속성분을 추출해 내 이산화탄소와의 반응 양을 증가시켜 고정화 효율을 높이는 방법이다. 다양한 농도(2 M, 4 M, 6 M)의 황산을 사문석과 반응온도(25, 50, $75^{\circ}C$)와 반응시간(1, 3, 5, 24 h)을 변화시켜 추출된 알칼리토금속성분(Mg, Ca)을 ICP-AES를 이용해 분석하였고 SEM과 BET를 이용하여 황산이 사문석 표면에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보았는데, 사문석이 황산과 반응하여 표면이 거칠어지며, 비표면적이 $11.1209m^2/g$에서 $98.7903m^2/g$로 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 또 세 변수 모두 증가할수록 추출량도 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 $75^{\circ}C$의 경우에는 반응 시간이 1 h 이후에는 시간과 관계없이 포화 추출점에 이르는 것을 확인하였다. 화학적 전처리의 결과 고정화 효율이 23.24%에서 46.30%까지 향상됨을 확인 하였다.

이산화탄소 저감을 위한 유효한 방법 중의 하나로 칼슘규산염 광물의 간접탄산염화 공정이 보고되고 있다. 이 공정은 염산, 질산 등의 산에 의하여 칼슘규산염으로부터 칼슘성분을 침출하는 단계와 이산화탄소에 의한 침출용액의 탄산염화 단계의 두 과정으로 구성된다. 침출용매로 초산수용액을 사용하는 경우에는 침출용액을 이산화탄소로 탄산염화 하는 과정에서 초산이 재생성 되어 침출단계로 순환되어 침출용매로 재사용될 수 있다. 제철 및 제강슬래그와 같은 산업부산물은 칼슘규산염을 많이 함유하고 있어 간접탄산염화공정의 원료로 사용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 초산수용액에 의한 국내 전기로제강슬래그의 침출효율을 조사하기 위하여, 초산수용액 농도, 침출온도 및 침출시간 등의 침출조건 변화에 따른 침출실험을 수행하였다.
