대도시의 인구집중과 환경문제에 대한 관심의 고조에 따른 환경배출기준의 강화로 환경처리시설에서 배출되는 슬러지의 양은 매년 급증하고 있는 실정이다. 2003년부터는 하수처리 슬러지의 매립지에의 직매립을 금지하고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 2012년부터는 해양투기 또한 전면 금지됨에 따라 육상에서의 자원화 혹은 감량화 등을 통한 소각, 퇴비화 등의 방법으로 처분해야 하는 실정이다. 그러나 이들 슬러지의 성상은 슬러지발생원, 발생 시기, 처리공정 등에 따라 그 성상이 다양하게 변하는 특성을 가지므로 슬러지처리, 재활용 및 처분방법을 결정하는데 있어서 슬러지성상에 대한 평가가 중요하게 작용한다. 이를 위하여 물리화학적 처리, 생물학적처리 등 서로 다른 처리방법에 의해 발생되는 슬러지의 성상평가방법을 표준화할 필요성이 크다고 하겠다. 그러나 아직까지 우리나라에서는 표준화된 슬러지 성상평가방법이 제정되어 있지 않다. 본 총설에서는 우리나라의 슬러지 성상평가방법에 관한 현황과 문제점 등을 파악하고, 독일 등 선진국의 사례를 바탕으로 적절한 슬러지의 재활용과 처분을 위한 우리나라에 적합한 15가지 항목의 표준화된 슬러지 성상평가방법을 제시하고자 하였다.

Hot stage microscopy (HSM) is a thermal analysis technique that combines the best properties of thermal analysis and microscopy. HSM is rapidly gaining interest in pharmaceuticals as well as in other fields as a regular characterization technique. In pharmaceuticals HSM is used to support differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) observations and to detect small changes in the sample that may be missed by DSC and TGA during a thermal experiment. Study of various physical and chemical properties such sample morphology, crystalline nature, polymorphism, desolvation, miscibility, melting, solid state transitions and incompatibility between various pharmaceutical compounds can be carried out using HSM. HSM is also widely used to screen cocrystals, excipients and polymers for solid dispersions. With the advancements in research methodologies, it is now possible to use HSM in conjunction with other characterization techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), DSC, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) which may have additional benefits over traditional characterization techniques for rapid and comprehensive solid state characterization.

Low-Z particle Electron Probe X-ray Microanalysis was applied to characterize MSW fly- and bottom -ash particle samples originated from two municipal incinerators (denoted as A and B) in Korea. According to their chemical composition, many distinctive particle types were identified. In A fly ash, the major chemical species are carbon-rich, aluminosilicates and many particles are composed of as a mixture of $ CaCO_3$ and other chemical species such as $CaSO_4$ or $CaCl_2$. For B fly ash, Fe, iron oxide, NaCl and NaCl-containing particles are the most abundant. In bottom ash, A and B were composed of similar chemical species such as carbon-rich, Fe, iron oxide, $CaCO_3$, and aluminosilicates. It was demonstrated that the single-particle characterization using this low-Z particle EPMA technique provided detailed information on various types of chemical species in the MSW ash samples. In addition, the technique has advantage over conventional analytical techniques in the point that both crystalline and glass-like ash particles can be analyzed at the same time.

The characterization of the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process for undensified phophosilicate glass (PSG) film is reported using design of experiments (DOE). DOE has been used by experimenters to understand the relationship between the input variables and responses of interest in a simple and efficient way, and it typically is beneficial for determining the appropriatesize of experiments with multiple process variables and making statistical inferences for the responses of interest. The equipment controllable parameters used to operate the machine consist of the down force of the wafer carrier, pressure on the back side wafer, table and spindle speeds (SS), slurry flow (SF) rate, pad condition, etc. None of these are independent ofeach other and, thus, the interaction between the parameters also needs to be understoodfor improved process characterization in CMP. In this study, we selected the five controllable equipment parameters the most recommendedby process engineers, viz. the down force (DF), back pressure (BP), table speed (TS), SS, and SF, for the characterization of the CMP process with respect to the material removal rate and film uniformity in percentage terms. The polished material is undensified PSG which is widely used for the plananization of multi-layered metal interconnects. By statistical modeling and the analysis of the metrology data acquired from a series of $2^{5-1}$ fractional factorial designs with two center points, we showed that the DF, BP and TS have the greatest effect on both the removal rate and film uniformity, as expected. It is revealed that the film uniformity of the polished PSG film contains two and three-way interactions. Therefore, one can easily infer that process control based on a better understanding of the process is the key to success in current semiconductor manufacturing, in which the size of the wafer is approaching 300 mm and is scheduled to continuously increase up to 450 mm in or slightly after 2012.

전해코팅 법과 dip-coating 법을 이용해 산화주석(IV)을 티타늄 지지체에 코팅하여, 코팅 방법에 따른 코팅 전극의 물성과 전기화학적 특성에 대해여 연구하였다. HCl 로 전극 에칭 후, nitrate 용액에 $SnCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$을 용해시켜 pulse technique를 이용하여 전해코팅 하였으며, dip-coating 법 또한 $SnCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$를 사용하여 1:1V% HCl 용액에 용해시켜 코팅 소결 후 산화주석(IV)코팅 전극을 제작하였다. 두 가지 코팅 방법을 통해 제작된 산화주석(IV)코팅 전극은 전극의 물성을 비교하기 위해 x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning election microscopy (SEM)를 관찰해보았고, 전기화학적 특성을 평가하기 위해 cyclic voltammetry (CV)를 측정하여 전위창을 비교해 보았다.

A method is described for the determination of dibutyltin (DBT) in sediment by isotope dilution using liquid chromatography inductively-coupled plasma/mass spectrometry (LC-ICP/MS). To achieve the highest accuracy and precision, special attentions are paid in optimization and evaluation of overall processes of the analysis including extraction of analytes, characterization of the standards used for calibration and LC-ICP/MS conditions. An approach for characterization of natural abundance DBT standard has been developed by combining inductively-coupled plasma/optical emission spectrometry (ICP/OES) and LC-ICP/MS for the total Sn assay and the analysis of Sn species present as impurities, respectively. An excellent LC condition for separation of organotin species was found, which is suitable for simultaneous DBT and tributyltin (TBT) analysis as well as impurity analysis of DBT standards. Microwave extraction condition was also optimized for high efficiency while preventing species transformation. The present method determines the amount contents of DBT in sediments with expanded uncertainty of less than 5% and its result shows high degree of equivalence with reference values of an international inter-comparison and a certified reference material (CRM) within stated uncertainties.

Analysis of health-related microbes called probiotics was performed by capillary electrophoresis. A rapid and easy characterization for two important probiotics, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Enterococcus feacalis, was obtained in the running buffer containing poly(ethylene oxide). Quantitation of probiotic (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) shows a good linearity between the peak area versus the concentration of microbe. From the comparison of electropherograms of antidiarrhea, it was found that capillary electrophoresis could be employed for the quality control and quality assurance for the production of a medicine containing the probiotics.
