In this study we verified if the electro-coagulation process can treat properly the nitrate and fluoride that are not removed well in the conventional small water treatment plants which usually employ chlorination and filtration only. As we gave a change of electrode material and gap-distance between electrodes, removal efficiency of the nitrate and fluoride was determined by electro-coagulation process which were equipped with aluminum and stainless steel (SUS304) electrodes. In addition, electrode durability was investigated by determination of electrodes mass change during the repetitive experiments. Removal efficiency was great when aluminum was used as an anode material. Nitrate removals increased as electric density and number of electrodes increased, but fluoride removal was less sensitive to both parameters than nitrate. After 10 minutes of contact time with the current density from $1{\times}10^{-3}$ to $3{\times}10^{-3}A/cm^{2}$, nitrate and fluoride concentration ranged from 9.2 to 1.2mg/L and from 0.02 to 0.01mg/L, which satisfied the regulation limits. Regardless of the repeating number of experiments, removal efficiency of both ions were almost similar and the change of electrode mass ranged within ${\pm}$0.5%, indicating that the loss of the electrode mass is not so much great under the limited circumstances.

We fabricated SiC-TiC composites by hot-press sintering with aluminum and yttrium nitrate additive and evaluated crystal phase, relative density, microstructure, electrical resistivity and mechanical properties of the sintered body. And the effect of nitrate additive on the densification of SiC-TiC composites was compared with that of Al₂O₃ and Y₂O₃ additives. Because nitrate additives were uniformly dispersed in SiC and TiC mixture, it inhibited the growth of crystal grain between each other and formed fine and uniform microstructure, thereby improving mechanical properties and electrical resistivity. The electrical resistivity and flexural strength of the SiC-TiC composite with aluminum and yttrium nitrate additive were 2.3 Ω·cm and 652.3 MPa respectively.

Aluminum nitride (AlN) powders were synthesized by using a mixture of an aluminum nitrate or sulfate salt and carbon (mole ratio of $Al^{3+}$ to carbon=L : 30). The AlN was obtained by calcining the mixture under a flow of nitrogen in the temperature range 1100-1$600^{\circ}C$ and then burning out the residual carbon. The process of conversion of the salt to AlN was monitored by XRD and $^{27}$ Al magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. The salt decomposed to ${\gamma}$-alumina and then converted to AlN without phase transition from ${\gamma}$-to-$\alpha$-alumina. $^{27}$ Al MAS NMR spectroscopy shows that the formation of AlN commenced at 110$0^{\circ}C$. AlN powders obtained from the sulfate salt were superior to those from the nitrate salt in terms of homogeneity and crystallinity. A very small amount of AlN whiskers was obtained by calcining a mixture of an aluminum sulfate salt and carbon at 115$0^{\circ}C$ for 40 h, and the growth of the whiskers is well explained by the particle-to-particle self-assembly mechanism.

졸-겔 공정을 이용하여 유리기판 위에 Al-doped ZnO(AZO) 박막을 제조하였고, AZO 박막의 특성에 대하여 Al 전구체 종류 및 post-annealing 온도가 미치는 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다. AZO 박막 제조용 졸은 zinc acetate, EtOH, MEA 등을 사용하여 제조하였고, Al doping 을 위한 전구체로는 aluminum nitrate 와 aluminum chloride 를 사용하였다. Sol 내의 Zn 농도는 0.5 mol/l 로 하였고, Al doping 양은 Zn 대비 1 at%로 고정하였다. 유리기판 위에 졸을 spin-coating 한 후 $550^{\circ}C$에서 2 시간 동안 열처리한 후, $N_2$와 $H_2$의 비가 9 : 1인 환원 분위기 내에서 $300^{\circ}C,\;400^{\circ}C,\;500^{\circ}C$인 온도에서 2시간 동안 post-annealing을 진행하였다. 제조된 AZO 박막의 구조적, 전기적, 광학적 특성은 XRD, FE-SEM, AFM, Hall effect measurement system 및 UV-Visible spectroscopy를 이용하여 분석하였다. Al 전구체로서 aluminum nitrate 를 사용한 경우가 aluminum chloride 를 사용하여 제조한 AZO 박막보다 우수한 광학적, 전기적 특성을 나타내었으며, post-annealing 온도가 증가함에 따라 비저항과 투과율은 감소하였다. $500^{\circ}C$에서 post-annealing한 AZO 박막의 전기비저항 값은 $2{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$이었고, 투과율은 $300^{\circ}C$에서 91%로 가장 높게 나타났다.

본 연구는 유통 중인 프로폴리스추출물제품의 플라보노이드 함량을 3가지 비색법을 이용하여 비교 검토해본 결과 현행 건강기능식품공전의 질산알루미늄법은 염화알루미늄법과 마찬가지로 flavone류와 flavonol류의 확인이 가능하며 디니트로페닐 하이드라진법은 flavanone류와 dihydroflavonol류의 정량이 가능한 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 질산알루미늄법과 디니트로페닐 하이드라진법에 의한 함량의 합이 실제 플라보노이드 함량에 가까운 것으로 확인하였다. 두 방법의 총합에 의한 프로폴리스 추출물 25개 제품의 플라보노이드 함량을 확인한 결과 24개 제품에서 2.15-9.53%로 다양하게 나타났다.

Biomass of non-living brown seaweed Sargassum fluitans pretreated by different methods is capable of taking up more than $10\%$ (11 meq/g) of its dry weight in aluminum at a pH of 4.5. It is indicated that the biomass sequestered the aluminum in the form of polynuclear aluminum species. The fraction of $Al(OH)_3$ Precipitated in the aluminum nitrate solution without biomass at pH 4.5 increased as the Al concentration increased. Aluminum-alginate complex precipitated in the solution as alginate was partially released from the biomass. External colloidal precipitate occurring in native and protonated S. fluitans biomass sorption systems caused a significant difference in Al sorption isotherms determined by standard and desorption methods, respectively, Sodium ions added for pH adjustment were not sorbed at all in the presence of aluminum ions.

본 연구에서는 homogeneous precipitation method를 통하여 구형의 단분산(monodispersed) YAG : $Ce^{3+}$를 합성했다. 단분산 YAG : $Ce^{3+}$의 전구체를 합성하는 과정에서 aluminum ion들이 먼저 석출되어 aluminum 화합물을 형성하고 후에 yttrium 화합물들이 aluminum 화합물들의 표면에서 석출된다. 합성된 전구체를 파우더형태로 얻기 위해 건조과정을 거치는데, oven에서 건조했을 때 보다 동결건조기에서 건조했을 때 비교적 구형의 단분산 YAG : $Ce^{3+}$ 입자를 얻을 수 있었다. 하소 과정에서 공정을 진행하는 온도로서 $1100^{\circ}C$와 $1200^{\circ}C$를 비교해 보았다. 실험 결과 $1200^{\circ}C$의 온도로 상압에서 6시간 동안의 하소 과정을 진행하였을 때 400~500 nm 입자크기를 가진 단분산된 구형의 나노 YAG : $Ce^{3+}$ 입자가 합성되었다.

최근 주요 수질오염 물질로 대두되고 있는 질산성 질소의 제거를 목적으로 영가 철 나노입자에 의한 질산성 질소의 환원반응성을 평가하였다. 영가 철 나노입자의 제조방법에 따른 반응성 차이를 규명하기 위해 유기용매 상에 계면활성제를 첨가하여 나노미터 크기 수준의 수용액 분산상에서 입자를 합성하는 마이크로에멀젼 방법과, 수용액 상의 철 이온을 환원시켜 입자를 합성하는 두 가지 방법으로 영가 철 나노입자를 합성하였다. 또한 전기영동법으로 알루미늄에 침적시킨 영가 철 나노입자에 의한 질산성 질소 제거속도를 측정하고, 고정화되지 않은 나노 철 입자에 의한 반응속도와 비교하였다. 환원반응을 질산성 질소에 대한 1차 반응으로 가정하여 수용액 방법 및 마이크로에멀전 방법으로 제조된 영가 철 나노입자의 반응성을 평가한 결과, 반응속도상수는 각각 $1.40{\times}10^{-2}min^{-1}$ 와 $3.49{\times}10^{-2}min^{-1}$ 로서 비표면적에 비례하여 증가하였다. 알루미늄에 침적된 나노입자는 현탁된 나노입자의 반응과 비교하여 약 30% 감소된 반응속도를 보였으나, 과량의 질산성 질소가 존재하는 경우 나노 철의 단위 질량당 질산성 질소의 제거효율 면에서 더 우수한 특성을 보였다. 나노철 입자의 현탁액은 반응시간 30분 이내에 반응속도가 감소하는 경향을 보였으나, 알루미늄에 침적된 나노철 입자는 3시간 이상 활성을 유지하였으며, 최종 생성물로 기체 질소를 발생시키는 것을 확인하였다.

The 2, 4, 6 and 8mol% Y2O3 doped-ZrO2 powders (20 kinds) with the addedtion of Al2O3 upto 8wt% were prepared by coprecipitation method using the zirconium oxyacetate, yttrium chloride and aluminum nitrate as starting materials. The coprecipitated powders were characterized by XRD, TG-DTA, FT-IR and SEM. The sintering properties of zirconia-alumina composites prepared by 2YSZ and 8YSZ powders containing various Al2O3 contents were also investigated. With increasing the yttria stabilizer contents, the amount of exothermic heat for zirconia crystallization decreased. And it was confirmed that the crystallizing temperature of coprecipitated zirconia powders increased and the crystallization process occurred in a wide temperature range, as Al2O3 content increased in 8YSZ.

Highly ordered silver nanowire with a diameter of 10 nm was arrayed by electroless deposition in a porous anodic aluminum oxide(AAO) membrane. The AAO membrane was fabricated electrochemically in an oxalic acid solution via a two-step anodization process, while growth of the silver nanowire was initiated by using electroless deposition at the long-range-ordered nanochannels of the AAO membrane followed by thermal reduction of a silver nitrate aqueous solution by increasing the temperature up to $350^{\circ}C$ for an hour. An additional electro-chemical procedure was applied after the two-step anodization to control the pore size and channel density of AAO, which enabled us to fabricate highly-ordered silver nanowire on a large scale. Electroless deposition of silver nitrate aqueous solution into the AAO membrane and thermal reduction of silver nanowires was performed by increasing the temperature up to $350^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The morphologies of silver nanowires arrayed in the AAO membrane were investigated using SEM. The chemical composition and crystalline structure were confirmed by XRD and EDX. The electroless-deposited silver nanowires in AAO revealed a well-crystallized self-ordered array with a width of 10 nm.
