Total extraction of stream sediments in the Kwangyang mine area shows their significant pollution with most trace metals such as Cr, Co, Fe, Pb, Cu, Ni, Zn and Cd, due to sulfide oxidation in waste dumps. Calculations of enrichment factor shows that Chonam-ri creek sediments are more severely contaminated than Sagok-ri sediments. Using the weak acid (0.1N HCl) extraction and sequential extraction techniques, the transport and sediment-water partitioning of heavy metals in mine drainage were examined for contaminated sediments in the Chonam-ri and Sagok-ri creeks of the Kwangyang Au-Ag mine area. Calculated distribution coefficient (Kd) generally decreases in the order of Pb $\geq$Al > Cu > Mn > Zn > Co > Ni $\geq$ Cd. Sequential extraction of Chonam-ri creek sediments shows that among non-residual fractions the Fe-Mn oxide fraction is most abundant for most of the metals. This indicates that precipitation of Fe hydroxides plays an important role in regulating heavy metal concentrations in water, as shown by field observations.

Due to the serious air pollution problem, interest in eco-friendly vehicles is increasing. Solving the problem of pollution will necessitate the securing of high energy storage technology for batteries, the driving force of eco-friendly vehicles. The reason for the continuing interest in the transition metal oxide LiMO₂ as a cathode material with a layered structure is that lithium ions reveal high mobility in two-dimensional space. Therefore, it is important to investigate the effective intercalation and deintercalation pathways of Li⁺, which affect battery capacity, to understand the internal structure of the cathode particle and its effect on the electrochemical performance. In this study, for the cathode material, high nickel Ni_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1(OH)₂ precursor is synthesized by controlling the ammonia concentration. Thereafter, the shape of the primary particles of the precursor is investigated through SEM analysis; X-ray diffraction analysis is also performed. The electrochemical properties of LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂ are evaluated after heat treatment.

In Li-ion batteries, a thick electrode is advantageous for lowering the inactive current collector portion and obtaining a high energy density. One of the critical failure mechanisms of thick electrodes is inhomogeneous lithiation and delithiation owing to the axial location of the electrode. In this study, it was confirmed that the top layer of the composite electrode contributes more to the charging step owing to the high ionic transport from the electrolyte. A high-loading multilayered electrode containing LiFePO₄ (LFP) and LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂ (NCM811) was developed to overcome the inhomogeneous electrochemical reactions in the electrode. The electrode laminated with LFP on the top and NCM811 on the bottom showed superior cyclability compared to the electrode having the reverse stacking order or thoroughly mixed. This improvement is attributed to the structural and interfacial stability of LFP on top of the thick electrode in an electrochemically harsh environment.

토양환경내 오염물질의 고정화 현상은 오염물질의 거동을 결정하는 주요 과정중 하나이다. 특히 생물화학적 반응에 대해 비가역적이며, 이로부터 오염물질의 독성도 동시에 제거되는 산화-공유결합반응에 의한 고정화 반응은 오염물질의 주요한 자연정화 메커니즘중 하나일 뿐만 아니라, 이를 공학적으로 응용함으로써 기존의 분해에 의존해 오던 정화 방법에 비해 보다 효과적으로 오염토양 및 지하수의 복원에 적용될 수 있다. 특히 이러한 산화-공유결합반응을 일으키는 촉매로서의 역할을 하는 망간산화물은 미생물 자체, 혹은 미생물을 포함한 균류, 식물체 등으로부터 추출한 산화-환원 효소를 이용하는 것에 비해 실용적인 측면에서 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 이에 본고에서는 망간산화물을 이용한 유기오염물질의 정화 기작에 대한 최근의 다양한 연구 결과들을 정리하였다. 특히 망간산화물에 대해 반응성을 가지지 않는 안정한 유기오염물의 처리를 위한 관련 연구로서 반응매개체를 적용한 사례와, PAHs 처리기법, $Fe^0$를 이용한 환원 전처리 등 적절한 전처리 기법과의 조합에 의한 처리방법 등에 대한 연구결과를 소개하였으며, 이로부터 보다 광범위한 적용 가능성을 제시하고자 하였다. 자연계 내에서 일어나는 탄소의 순환과정을 고려할 때 산화-공유결합 반응에 의한 고정화 및 안정화 반응은 특히 분해에 대해 높은 내성을 가지는 방향족 유기오염물질의 제거에 보다 효과적으로 적용될 수 있는 친환경적 기법으로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Newly structured metal-supported solid oxide fuel cell was fabricated and characterized by impedance analysis and galvanodynamic experiment. Using a cermet adhesive, thin ceramic layer composed of anode(Ni/YSZ) and electrolyte(YSZ) was joined with STS430 metal support of which flow channel was fabricated. $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}Co_{0.4}Mn_{0.6}O_3$ perovskite oxide was used as cathode material. Single cell performance was increased and saturated at operating time to 300hours at 800$^{\circ}C$ because of cathode sintering effect. The sintering effect was reinvestigated by half cell test and exchange current density was measured as 0.005A/$cm^2$. Maximum power density of the cell was 0.09W/$cm^2$ at 800$^{\circ}C$. Numerical analysis was carried out to classify main factors influencing the single cell performances. Compared to experimental IV curve, simulated curve based on experimental parameters such as exchange current density was in good agreement.

To improve the conventional cathode-supported tubular solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) from the viewpoint of low cell power density, expensive fabrication process and high operation temperature, the anode-supported tubular solid oxide fuel cell was investigated. The anode tube of Ni-8mol% $Y_2$O$_3$-stabilized $ZrO_2$ (8YSZ) was manufactured by extrusion process, and, the electrolyte of 8YSZ and the multi-layered cathode of $LaSrMnO_3$(LSM)ILSM-YSZ composite/$LaSrCoFeO_3$ were coated on the surface of the anode tube by slurry dip coating process, subsequently. Their cell performances were examined under gases of humidified hydrogen with 3% water and air. In the thermal cycle condition of heating and cooling rates with $3.33^{\circ}C$/min, the anode-supported tubular cell showed an excellent resistance as compared with the electrolyte-supported planar cell. The optimum hydrogen flow rate was evaluated and the air preheating increased the cell performance due to the increased gas temperature inside the cell. In long-term stability test, the single cell indicated a stable performance of 300 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 0.85 V for 255 hr.

The catalytic activity of transition metals (Cu, Co, Mn, Fe and Ni) supported on ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ for the oxidation of toluene was investigated in the microreactor of fixed-bed type. The catalytic activity of transition metals for the oxidation of toluene turned out to be increasing in the order of Ni$Cu/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts for the oxidation of toluene increased with the increasing loadings of copper, reached the maximum activity at 5% loadings of copper, and decreased with higher loadings of copper in the catalysts. The activity of $Cu/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts for the oxidation of toluene decreased with the increasing calcination temperatures. This might result from the decreasing surface area of catalysts due to the sintering of copper oxide as well as ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ supports. The 5wt% $Cu/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts calcined at $400^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs in the air showed the highest activity for the oxidation of toluene. Mutual inhibition was observed for the binary mixture of toluene and xylene. The activity of the easy-to-oxidize toluene was greatly decreased while the difficult-to-oxidize xylene was slightly decreased in the binary mixture of toluene and xylene. It might suggest that the inhibition of toluene and xylene in the binary mixture resulted from the competitive adsorption for the adsorbed oxygen on the catalytic surface.

고체산화물연료전지(SOFC)는 청정에너지기술로써 화학에너지를 전기에너지로 직접 전환한다. SOFC는 열병합발전과 결합하여 80%이상의 효율을 올릴 수 있으며 천연가스와 바이오가스 등 연료에 대한 융통성이 폴리머전해질막연료전지(PEMFC)보다 높다. YSZ전해질과 함께 SOFC에 주로 채용되는 공기극 재료는 아직까지 Sr이 첨가된 $LaMnO_3$(LSM)이다. LSM 이외에, 혼합전도성을 가지는 페로브스카이트로서 Sr첨가 $LaCoO_3$(LSCo), $LaFeO_3$(LSF), $LaFe_{0.8}Co_{0.2}O_3$(LSCF)는 공기극 임피던스가 LSM에 비해 현저히 낮아 연구가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 SOFC전극의 소결온도에서 YSZ과 고체반응을 일으키는 문제점과 열팽창 계수가 YSZ와 격차가 크게 나는 문제점 때문에 전극 제조가 복잡하다. 따라서 전해질과의 화학적 안정성 및 유사한 열팽창계수(TEC)를 가지면서 우수한 전기화학활성을 제공하는 것이 해결해야할 중요한 문제로 남는다.

$Mn_{1-x}Fe_{2+x}O_4$, $Mg_{1-x}Fe_{2+x}O_4$ (x=0.0, 0.025, 0.1, 0.2) for negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor were prepared by calcining at $800^{\circ}C$ and sintering from 1100 to $1250^{\circ}C$ with $50^{\circ}C$ intervals. The best linear property was obtained in the Mn-based sample sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$ with x=0.0 composition. Temperature coefficient of resistance, $\alpha$, was -3.0 %/$^{\circ}C$ in the Mg-based sample at $25^{\circ}C$. Thermistor parameter, B, was in the range of 2500 [K] $\sim$7400 [K]. The results show the possibility that Mn-Ni-Co based thermistor could be substituted by the composition used in this study.

Methanol and formaldehyde were produced directly by the partial oxidation of methane over mixed oxide catalysts. The catalysts were composed of Mo and Bi with late-transition metals, such as Mn, Fe, and Co. The reaction was carried out at $450^{\circ}C$, 50 bar in a fixed-bed differential reactor. The prepared catalysts were characterized by $O_2-TPD$ and BET apparatus. Among the catalysts used, the catalyst composed of 1:1:2.5 molar ratio of Mo:Bi:Mn showed the best methane conversion and methanol selectivity. The change in ratio of methane to oxygen affected at the conversion and selectivity, and the most proper ratio was 10:1.5. Methane conversion, methanol and formaldehyde selectivities increased with the surface areas of the catalysts. From the $O_2-TPD$ result, it was found that the oxygen species responsible for this reaction might be the lattice oxygen species desorbed at high temperature around $800^{\circ}C$.
