A study on the removal of silver(Ag) in copper electrolyte was carried out to produce high purity copper by using various method such as ion exchange resin, activated carbon adsorption, copper cementation with powder and wire, CuS precipitation. Parameters, such as reaction time, reaction temperature, addition amount etc. were investigated to determine the effective condition of silver removal. CuS precipitation and ion exchange using Lewatit TP214 was found to be effective. Especially, silver content in copper electrolyte was reduced from 10 ppm to less than 0.1 ppm by ion exchange with Lewatit TP214.

나노 구조의 반도성 산화물은 독특한 구조적 특성으로 전기적, 광학적 특성을 향상 시킬 수 있다. 현재 연구되고 있는 나노 구조의 반도성 산화물 중 Zinc oxide (ZnO)는 3.37 eV의 bandgap를 갖는 wurtzite 구조체로서 상온에서 60 meV의 exciton binding energy 등 우수한 특성으로 인하여 최근 많이 연구되고 있다. 특히 단파장 light emitting diode 재료로써 기대를 모으고 있는데, 이를 실현하기 위한 가장 큰 문제점이 바로 안정적인 p-type ZnO 박막의 제조이다. 지금까지 알려진 바에 따르면 P를 doping한 후 급속 열처리한 경우 p-type의 전기전도도를 갖는 ZnO 박막을 제조할 수 있다고 보고되어 있으나 vacancy 농도에 따른 불안정적인 요소가 해결해야 할 문제로 남아 있다. 최근 Ag를 doping 시킨 ZnO 박막의 p-type 반도체로서 가능성에 대한 보고가 제기되고 있다. 합성 방법과 조건에 따라서 수 nm에서 수십 또는 수백 nm 크기의 구형 입자나, 리본, 와이어, 로드 그리고 꽃모영 등 다양한 형상을 갖는 나노 구조체를 합성 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 ZnO:Ag 박막을 radio-frequency sputtering 방법으로 증착하여 그 물성을 분석하였다. 보통의 sputtering 증착법에서 사용되는 sintering된 타겟과 달리 본 실험은 분말 타겟을 이용하여 박막을 증착하였다. 타겟은 95 wt% ZnO와 5 wt% Ag를 서로 혼합하여 제조하였다. 본 발표에서는 박막의 증착압력 및 증착 온도의 변화에 따른 ZnO:Ag 박막의 구조적, 광학적 특성에 대하여 논의 할 것이다.

This study investigated the cathode catalyst of direct borohydride/hydrogen peroxide fuel cells for space exploration. Various catalysts such as Au, Ag, and Ni were supported on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Various techniques, such as transmission electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction were conducted to investigate the characteristics of the catalysts. Fuel cell tests were performed to evaluate the performance of the catalysts. Ag/MWCNTs exhibited better catalytic activity than the Ni/MWCNTs and better catalytic selectivity of the Au/MWCNTs. Ag/MWCNTs presented good catalytic activity and selectivity even at an elevated operating temperature. The performance of Ag/MWCNTs was also stable for up to 60 minutes.

We have investigated the microstructures and the mechanical properties of TiA1/Cerameti1721 (Ag-Cu-Ti insert metal)/AISI4140 joints at 800$^{\circ}C$ for 60 to 300s using induction brazing method. Two continuous reaction layers of AICuTi and AICu$_2$Ti were formed at the interface between the braze and TiAl, whose thickness increased with the brazing time. The braze consisted of Ag-rich, Ti-rich, CuTi and CuTi$_2$ phases. The maximum tensile strength achieved 296MPa, which was 71% of that of TiAl base metal, for the specimen bonded at 800$^{\circ}C$. Further increase of the brazing temperature and time resulted in constant deterioration of its bonding strength due to large amount of brittle IMC.

The preparation of $YBa_2Cu_4O_8$ thick film on Ag substrate by electrophoretic deposition was directly studied. Electrophoretic deposition was carried out in solution, which was composed of presintered $YBa_2Cu_4O_8$ powder, sodium, and 2-propanol as a solvent. The deposited thick films were heat-treated in $O_2$ at 815$^{\circ}$C for 12 hours and at 450$^{\circ}$C for 12 hours. We succeeded in obtaining superconducting $YBa_2Cu_4O_8$ films on Ag substrate. Even though the chemical reactions at the $YBa_2Cu_4O_8$/Ag interface occurred in the range of 10 ${\mu}$m, superconductivity was not depressed. The thickness of the films was in the range of 60-80 ${\mu}$ m. The characteristics of the films were examined by electric resistance measurements, X-ray diffraction, and SEM observations.

In this study, nano sized colloidal Ag was made by using a seed sol method. Colloidal Ag solution was spouted on the surface of the inorganic pigment using the hybridizer system and spray nozzle. Then, the surface of the inorganic pigment was modified by $TiO_2$ to obtain the antibacterial ability. In the manufacturing process of nano sized colloidal Ag, it was confirmed that the size of particles increased by addition of $AgNO_3$ and increased the reaction time. The antibacterial measurement of the inorganic pigment showed that the growth of fungus decreased as the reaction time was increased. After the antibacterial ability appeared, in 5~7 h of the antibacterial inoculation experiment, it was measured that the antibacterial activity was excellent at a fixed time frame. The photodecomposition of benzene using $TiO_2$ as the photocatalyst showed 60~70% efficiency in about 80 min. reaction time. It was shown that more than 90% of this efficiency was achieved in the reaction time of about 30 min.

This study was conducted to demonstrate quality characteristics of ginger by making aged ginger( AG) with two methods, the frist method was that ginger was aged at constant temperature and humidity chamber for the duration of 10, 20 and 30 days, and the other method was drying the ginger just after steaming it for 3 hours. As the age was being processed, the volume of ginger's appearance decreased rapidly and its color seemed to be darker because of the decrease in moisture. In the case of general components, the content of crude ash was depended on aged periods while the content of crude fat was independent with aged periods, and according to the content of crude protein, there was not any significant differences. The main valuable ingredient which is 6-gingerol showed the decreasing trend as it was exposed to heat with more time, and 6-shogaol which is also one of the main valuable ingredients showed high content at T-II(AG-10days). Free sugar and free amino acid of AG decreased as aged period goes by, and this study found that there were lots of essential amino acid (threonine, glutamic acid, alanine, valine, leucine and tyrosine) in ginger. The amount of unsaturated fatty acid of AG was significantly higher than the amount of saturated fatty acid of AG with the approximate ratio of 60:40, and the amount of free fatty acid of AG did not seem any big differences between AG and none AG. Considering both valuable ingredients and nutritive components, T-I (steamed ginger, SG) and T-II which was aged for 10 days were evaluated excellently.

Among 85 patients with anti-HCV positive chronic liver disease, only 21.2% have past history of blood transfusion and over half the cases, they do not have any suspicious risk factors for HCV infection, 3 of 85 families show anti-HCV positive family members. On the other hand, 40 of 60 patients with HBsAg positive chronic liver disease show HBsAg positive family members. In Korea, HBV is transmitted mainly through vertical and intrafamilial infection but HCV disease might be rather horizontal and sporadic than vertical. To define the evident source of infection in sporadic hepatitis C, first of all, simple test with high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis of HCV infection would be needed.

In this study, the conductive paste used in a wide range such as wiring in the electronic packaging field, the automobile industry, and electronic products is manufactured under various process conditions due to the simplicity of the process, and then the thermal, mechanical, and electrical characteristics are analyzed and simulation studies are conducted to optimize the process. to establish the conditions of the conductive paste manufacturing process. First, a conductive paste was prepared by setting various types of binder resin, an essential component of the conductive paste, and characteristics such as thermal conductivity, tensile strength, and elongation were analyzed. Among the binder resins, the conductive paste applied with a flexible epoxy material had the best physical properties, and a simulation study was conducted based on the physical property data base of the conductive face. As a result of the simulation, the best physical properties were exhibited when the Ag flake volume fraction was 60%.
