Barium Bismuth Oxide Borate (BBOB) has been synthesized for the first time using solution combustion technique. SEM analysis reveal flower shape of the nanoparticles. The formation of the nanoparticles has been confirmed through XRD & FTIR studies which gives the physical and chemical structure of the novel material. The UV light absorption is observed in the range 200-300 nm. The present study highlights the radiation shielding ability of BBOB for different radiations like X/Gamma rays, Bremsstrauhlung and neutrons. The gamma shielding efficiency is comparable to that of lead in lower energy range and lesser than lead in the higher energy range. The bremsstrauhlung exposure constant is comparably larger for BBOB NPs than that of concrete and steel however it is lesser than that of lead. The beauty of BBOB nanoparticles lies in, high absorption of radiations and low emission of secondary radiations when compared to lead. In addition, the neutron shielding parameters like scattering length, absorption and scattering cross sections of BBOB are found to be much better than lead, steel and concrete. Thus, BBOB nanoparticles are highly efficient in absorbing X/Gamma rays, neutrons and bremsstrauhlung radiations.

This study was carried out to make hardboard fire retardants and to examine the properties of the hard-board treated with them. The fire retardant treatment was achieved by surface impregnation of water soluble retardant chemicals into the forming mat with 55 percent of moisture content. followed by the hot pressing process. Ammonium monophosphate, ammonium diphosphate, sodium borate, and boric acid were used as the fire retardants. Fire retardant test was carried out by using the differential thermal analysis thermogram. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Fire retardant-treated hardboard showed higher values of the specific gravity. water absoption, and flexural strength than those of untreated hardboard. Especially, the treatment of ammonium monophosphate gave the best results in the flexural strength, and a 10 gr/$ft^2$ loading of the fire retardant compound of ammonium monophoshate, ammonium diphosphate, and sodium borate drew the best flexural strength value among the three different experimental loadings of 10, 20 and 30 gr/$ft^2$. 2. There were no definite differences in moisture content between the fire retardant-treated hardboard and the untreated hardboard. 3. The fire retardant compound of ammonium monophosphate, ammonium diphosphate, and sodium borate resulted in the best fire retardancy, and its fire retardancy was increased in proportion to the increase of loading.

Glass-ceramics were fabricated by heat-treating a glass at $700^{\circ}C$/10hr which was obtained by melting a glass frit mixed with $40{\sim}80 wt%$ EAF dust at $1300^{\circ}C$/1hr. Dependence of crystal phase and bonding state change upon a compositional change and heat treatment condition were studied and the results was connected to the toxic characterization leaching procedure (TCLP) test data to investigate a chemical durability of the specimens. Increasing dust in a glass shifted the peak around $1000cm^{-1}$ to the lower frequency which was composed of two vibration peaks for the nonbridging oxygen at $960cm^{-1}$ and the bridging oxygen at $1050{\sim}1060cm^{-1}$. Also, the $B_2O_3$ structure of boroxol ring changed to a tetrhedral-, trigonal- and di-borate with dust addition. The Fe-O peaks in the glass-ceramics were observed which is consitent with XRD results of spinel formation. The surface of glass after TCLP test was severely cracked while there was no cracks on a glass-ceramics after TCLP test so the chemical durability of the glass-ceramics is superior than that of glass. The leaching concentration of Fe for the glass-ceramics containing EAF dust 80 wt% is 1/15 times lower than that of glass. The Zn leaching concentration fur the glass-ceramics containing dust < 70 wt% was higher than that of glass but its trend was reversed for the specimen of dust content > 80 wt% which could be concluded as correlated with occurrence of willemite phase.

Calcuim borate 화합물의 하나인 Colemanite 천연원광을 출발물질로 붕산을 제조하는 공정에 대한 연구로 황산 첨가량과 처리온도, 건조온도와 시간에 따라 생성되는 붕산의 결정상과 수득률, 순도 및 입자의 형상을 관찰하였다. 황산 첨가로 붕소 성분은 용해되어 액상에 남고, SO$_4$$^{2-}$ 와 결합하여 불용성 고체로 분리되고, 붕소의 온도에 따른 용해도 차를 이용하여 재결정화하는 방법으로 99% 이상의 순도를 갖는 붕산(H$_3$BO$_3$)을 얻었다. 공정의 각 단계에서 생성되는 화합물을 TG, NMR, IR, XRD, ICP 등의 방법으로 분석하여 최적 제조 조건을 찾았다.

1차적인 제형의 조제를 위해서 비이온성 계면활성제인 poloxamer 류, Tween 류, octylphenylether와 양심 계면활성제인betaine 류와 방부제인 croquat 류에 대한 시험을 실시하여 자극을 나타내지 않은 성분을 선별하였다. 이를 근거로 isotonic sodium borate 용액을 완충액으로 사용하여, 최종제형을 조제하여 시험한 결과 자극반응을 나타내지 알았으며, 본 제형을 실온과 4$0^{\circ}C$에서 2, 4, 6개월간 안정성 시험을 거친 후 시험시에도 전혀 자극반응을 나타내지 않았다.

비선형광학 결정을 이용한 optical parametric generation(OPG)은 coherent tunable radiation을 얻는 방법으로 매우 효과적이다. Beta barium borate(BBO) 결정은 비선형성이 클 뿐만 아니라 광손상문턱이 높고 자외선에서부터 근 적외선영역까지(2 -0.2$mu extrm{m}$) 투명하여 optical parametric oscillation(OPO)이나 OPG/OPA(optical parametric generation/amplification)에 많이 활용되고 있다.[1-2] 분광학적 연구와 여러 가지 응용 측면에서 넓은 영역의 파장가변이 손쉽고 높은 에너지를 갖는 pico 초coherent source는 중요하며, 이는 결정의 비선형성을 이용하여 공진기를 구성하지 않고서도 OPG/OPA를 통하여 실현 가능하다.
