Supported lead oxide catalysts were prepared by using ${\alpha}-,{\beta}-{\gamma}$-alumina, and MgO as a support. Among the supported lead oxide catalysts, MgO-supported catalyst showed the highest $C_2^+$ hydrocarbon selectivity for the methane conversion into $C_2^+$ hydrocarbons, but ${\gamma}$-alumina-supported PbO catalyst gave the highest $CO_2$ selectivity. And ${\alpha}$-alumina-supported catlyst showed the midium activity, whereas ${\beta}$-alumina-supported catalyst gave little activity. These reaction characteristics seemed to be largely dependent on the acticity of lattice oxygens in supported catalysts, which would be influnto be largely dependent on the activity of lattice oxygens in supported catalysts, which would be influenced in the interaction between the supports and lead oxides and the properties of supports. Especially, much higher ration of (002)/(111) peak intensities for PbO phase on MgO support than on the other supports in X-ray diffraction analysis was considered to be ab evidence that methane oxidative coupling of methane might be so-called structure-sensitive reaction, and this seemed to be an example of surface oxide-support interaction (SOSI) in the oxidative coupling reaction.

The oxidation behavior of Ni-6wt.% Cr alloys with various concentration of alumina dispersions(5vol.% 10vol.%) was determined at 1000 and 110$0^{\circ}C$ in oxygen of 1 atm. pressure. Some general observations were ascertained. These include: (a) the addition of alumina dispersoids significantly increased the oxidation resistance of Ni-6wt.% Cr alloy; (b) the rate of oxidation was distinctly decreased as a function of the volume percent of oxide dispersion; and (c) the presence of alumina dispersions promoted the formation of continous, protective Cr2O3 layer at 6 wt.% Cr.

Porous $Al_2O_3$ film can be utilized as template for fabrication of nano-structured materials. Porous anodic alumina layer as template was prepared by anodization of aluminum in oxalic acid, and the pore diameter and barrier-type alumina layer can be controlled for proper anodizing parameter by widening process in $H_3PO_4$ solution. The $SiO_2$ nanodot and Ni nanowire was fabricated using anodic alumina template and their characteristics were investigated using SEM and TEM with EDS. Especially the growth mechanism of $SiO_2$ nanodot in alumina membrane compared with thinning of the alumina barrier layer during anodization was also investigated.

In this study we investigated on the possibility of platinum and silver catalysts as de-NOx catalyst for activity test of supported metal oxide catalysts. the study was performed with the change of amount of metal and support types. The catalyst was prepared the activity of alumina supported silver catalyst produced by dry and wet impregnation method respectively and the resistance of sulfur for optimum supported silver catalyst,. As a result the activity of alumina supported platinum catalyst was showed at low temperature region but the case of silver catalyst activated at high temperature region. So we finally chose alumina supported silver catalyst as de-NOx target catalyst because alumina supported catalyst showed higher activity than alumina supported platinum catalyst.

The composite mesoporous ceramic membranes were prepared with ${\gamma}$-alumina and poly (2, 6-dimethyl-l, 4-pyphenylene oxide) (PPO) on the surface of the macroporous $\alpha$-alumina ceramic membranes and the permeation results were compared with those of the $\alpha$-alumina membrane for large-scale applications. In the results of the transport experiments, the ceramic membranes gave high gas permeances mainly due to Knudsen diffusion and surface diffusion as an additional mechanism. And, the polymer modification increased the permeances of the strongly adsorbing gas components. In this study the modifications of alumina ceramic membranes could increase the gas permeation performances especially for the strongly absorbing gas components.

The main focus of this study was the evaluation of arsenic concentration in the ground water of Lahore at different depth and application of different mitigation techniques for arsenic removal. Twenty four hours of solar oxidation gives 90% of arsenic removal as compared to 8 hr. or 16 hr. Among oxides, calcium oxide gives 96% of As removal as compared to 93% by lanthanum oxide. Arsenic removal efficiency was up to 97% by ferric chloride, whereas 95% by alum. Activated alumina showed 99% removal as compared to 97% and 95% removal with bauxite and charcoal, respectively. Elemental analysis of adsorbents showed that the presence of phosphate and silica can cause a reduction of arsenic removal efficiency by activated alumina, bauxite and charcoal. This study has laid a foundation for further research on arsenic in the city of Lahore and has also provided suitable techniques for arsenic removal.

This investigation was performed to evaluate the effect of four different preteatment techniques on the bond strength of porcelain to non-precious metal alloy. Samples of total of 40 were divided into 4 groups according to the 4 variables which included the 50$\mu$alumina oxide air abrasion, method, the as retention bead method, the L-retention bead method, the Etching method. The completed metal-porcelain samples were compressed in Instron loading machine until gross fracture occured to examine the effect of the complex variables on the bond strength of porcelain to non precious metal alloy. The result obtained were as follows : 1. The difference of bond strength according to four different pretreatment techniques was statistically significant(p<0.01). 2. The difference of bond strength between the ss-retention bead method and the L-retention bead method was not significant statistically(p>0.05) 3. The difference of bond strength between the retention bead method and the etching method was statistically significant(p<0.01). 4. The difference of bond strength between the retention bead method and the 50$\mu$alumina oxide air abrasion method was statistically significant(p<0.01). 5. The difference of bond strength between the etching method and the 50$\mu$alumina oxide air abrasion method was statistically significant(p<0.01).

The experiment was carried out to fabricate alumina membrane which has a cylindrical pore structure by anodizing aluminium plate in sulfuric acid solution with the electrochemical technique. The aluminium plate for anodizing was prepared by the pretreatment process such as chemical, electro-polishing and thermal treatment. The pore size distribution and the film thickness of alumina membrane were investigated by the implementation of scanning electron microscope(SEM) and BET method. The results show that the oxide film has a geometrical structures like a Keller model and that the membrane has a uniform pore distribution. The pore size and the oxide film thickness are dependent on the anodizing process variables such as the electrolyte concentration, the reation temperature and the anodizing current density.

The use of dolomite refractories has increased during the past several years in the manufacturing of clean steel during the stainless steelmaking process. However, at the same time, the use of dolomite refractories has led to what is known as the skull formation. In the present work, to understand the skull formation, the wetting characteristics of dolomite substrates by liquid Fe-19wt%Cr-10wt%Ni alloys in various oxygen partial pressures were initially investigated at 1753K using the sessile drop technique. For comparison, the wetting characteristics of alumina substrates were investigated with the same technique. It was found that the wetting index, (1+$cos{\theta}$), of dolomite is approximately 40% higher compared to those of alumina. In addition, the oxygen partial pressure to generate the surface oxide, which may capture the liquid metal on the refractory surface, for dolomite is much lower than that for alumina. From this study, it was concluded that the use of dolomite is much more closely associated with the skull formation compared to the use of alumina due to the stronger wettability and the surface oxide formation at a lower oxygen partial pressure of dolomite.

By the concerns of esthetic restoration were increased recently. many all ceramic crowns were developed. But they except In-Ceram Alumina were used only single crown. In-Ceram Alumina, developed by Dr. Sadon, was revealed to have high flexural Strength(450MPa). So it could be used not only anterior bridges but also posterior bridges. But In-Ceram Alumina was seen to be opaque, a little green color in transillumination light by high content of alumina oxide(85%). So new all ceramics with high strength and high translucence were needed. Spinell($MgAl_2O_3$) have a high melting point, high flexural strength, low heat conductivity, high light conductivity. In-Ceram Spinell offers glasslike light transmission by using the spinell cores instead of the alumina cores. And they have a high translucency like to natural tooth, an excellent margin integrity and a high strength(350MPa). The purposes of this study are 1) to know about the construction method of In-Ceram Spinell System, 2) to investigate the its clinical possibiliy through patients and literature reviews.
