In this study, we evaluated the fluidity of the Al-Zn based alloys which exhibit excellent mechanical properties. We conducted computer simulations of fluid flow using the results of DSC, DTA analysis and Java-based Materials Properties software (J. Mat. Pro). Such computer simulations were then compared with the results obtained from experimental observations. The computer simulation results and the experimental results were very similar in fluidity length. It was found that the fluidity length of Al-Zn alloys is improved by increasing the Zn content while decreasing the solidus temperature of an alloy. In addition, we elucidate the effect of Zn addition on variations in different mechanical properties and the microstructure characteristics of (Al-xZn3Cu0.4Si0.3Fe) x=20, 30, 40, and 45 wt% alloys fabricated by gravity casting.

Al-Zn based alloys are the most common types of wrought Al alloys. Although Al-Zn alloys have high strength, they cannot be applied to a conventional casting process. In this study, Al-Zn-based alloys applicable to a die casting process were developed successfully. The developed Al-45 wt% Zn-based alloys showed a fine equiaxed grain structure and high strength. A fine equiaxed grain having an average size of $25{\mu}m$ was obtained by the die casting process. The UTS and elongation of the new alloy are 475 MPa and ~3.5%, respectively. In addition, we elucidate the effect of a Zn addition on variations in different mechanical properties and the microstructure characteristics of (Al96.3-xZnxCu3Si0.4Fe0.3) x=20, 30, 40, and 45 wt% alloys fabricated by a die casting process.

ZnO thin films are of considerable interest because they can be customized by various coating technologies to have high electrical conductivity and high visible light transmittance. Therefore, ZnO thin films can be applied to various optoelectronic device applications such as transparent conducting thin films, solar cells and displays. In this study, ZnO rod and thin films are fabricated using aqueous chemical bath deposition (CBD), which is a low-cost method at low temperatures, and environmentally friendly. To investigate the structural, electrical and optical properties of ZnO for the presence of citrate ion, which can significantly affect crystal form of ZnO, various amounts of the citrate ion are added to the aqueous CBD ZnO reaction bath. As a result, ZnO crystals show a nanorod form without citrate, but a continuous thin film when citrate is above a certain concentration. In addition, as the citrate concentration increases, the electrical conductivity of the ZnO thin films increases, and is almost unchanged above a certain citrate concentration. Cu(In,Ga)Se₂ (CIGS) solar cell substrates are used to evaluate whether aqueous CBD ZnO thin films can be applicable to real devices. The performance of aqueous CBD ZnO thin films shows performance similar to that of a sputter-deposited ZnO:Al thin film as top transparent electrodes of CIGS solar cells.

In order to determine the changes of sediment facies and metal levels in surface sediments after the construction of Shiwha Lake, surface sediments were sampled at 8 sites located on the main channel monthly from June, 1995 to August, 1996 and analysed for 12 metals (Al, Fe, Mn, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, As and Pb) by ICP/AES and ICP/MS. Two groups of sampling sites(the inner lake with 3 sites and the outer lake with 5 sites) are subdivided by the surface morphology ; the inner lake is a shallow channel area with a gentle slope, while the outer lake is relatively deep and wide channel with a steep slope which has many small distributaries. After the construction of dam, fine terrestrial materials were deposited near the outer lake, which resulted in the change of major sediment facies from sandy silt to mud. With the deposition of fine sediments in the outer lake, anoxic water column induced the formation of sulfide compounds with Cu, Cd, Zn and part of Pb. Metal (Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn and Cd) contents in sediments increased up to twice within 2 years after the construction of dam. This is due to the direct input of industrial and municipal wastes into the lake and the accumulation of metals within the lake. In addition, frequent resuspension of contaminated sediments in a shallow part of the lake may make metal-enriched materials transport near the outer lake with fine terrestrial materials. As the enrichment of Cu, Zn, Cd and part of Pb in the Shiwha Lake may be related to the formation of unstable sulfide compounds by sulfate reduction in anoxic water or sediment column, the effect of mixing with open coastal seawater is discussed.

Functions of the luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) and its induced release by divalent metal ions have received great attention because this neurotransmitter subsequently regulates the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH). Metal-LHRH complexes were synthesized by addition of various Cu(II),Ni(II),Zn(II) ions into LHRH in order to understand how the induced release of LHRH is possible. The degree of complexation was monitored by $^1H$, $^{13}C$-NMR chemical shifts, and final products were identified by Mass spectrometry. Solutionstate structure determination of Zn(II)-LHRH out of metal-complexes was accomplished by using NMR and NMR-based distance geometry (DG). Interproton distance information from nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy was utilized for structure determination. Structure obtained in this study has a cyclic conformation exhibiting a specific ${\alpha}$-helical turn with residue numbers His[2]-Leu[7] out of 10 amino acids. Comparison of chemical shifts and EPR studies of Ni(II),Cu(II)-LHRH complexes exhibit that these metal complexes have 4-coordination geometry.

본 연구는 인 축적능을 갖는 것으로 알려진 미생물인 Alcaligenes sp.의 생장 및 인 축적에 중금속이 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하고자 실시되었다. 미생물의 생장 및 인 제거에 미치는 저해효과를 정량적 평가를 위해 생장저해 정도와 인 제거반응저해 정도를 IC₅₀와 EC₅₀를 이용하여 표현하였고, 중금속 간 교호작용의 평가를 위해 Additive Index Value method (A.I.V) 를 이용하여 중금속 간 혼합효과를 판단하였다. 실험 결과를 통해 Alcaligenes sp.의 생장 및 인 제거에 미치는 저해효과가 가장 큰 중금속은 카드뮴(Cd)이었다. 반면, 상대적으로 저해효과가 약한 중금속은 니켈(Ni)이었다. 모든 중금속은 처리 농도가 증가할수록 미생물의 생장과 인 제거율을 감소시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 단일 중금속 처리시 IC₅₀에 해당하는 농도는 Cd 0.38, Cu 16.43, Zn 12.17, Pb 11.68, Ni 15.35 mg/L 이다. 연구에 사용된 균주 Alcaligenes sp. 의 인 제거율은 88.1%였고, EC₅₀에 해당하는 농도는 Cd 0.31, Cu 10.37, Zn 5.57, Pb 6.74, Ni 12.04 mg/L 이다. 두 종의 중금속을 혼합 처리하였을 때 IC₅₀에 해당하는 농도가 가장 낮은 중금속 처리구는 Cd + Cu 처리구였으며, 가장 높은 처리구는 Zn + Pb 처리구였다. EC₅₀의 농도는 Cd + Cu 처리구에서 가장 낮은 농도를, Cu + Ni 처리구에서 가장 높은 농도를 보였다. 중금속 간 교호작용은 대부분 길항효과(antagonistic effect)를 보였으나, IC₅₀의 경우, Cu + Zn, Cu + Pb, Cu + Ni, Pb + Ni 처리구에서 상승효과(synergistic effect)를 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, EC₅₀에서는 Cu + Zn, Pb + Ni 처리구에서 상가효과(additive effect)를, Cu + Ni 처리구에서 상승효과(synergistic effect)를 보였다. 연구 결과는 중금속을 단일 및 2종 혼합 처리하였을 때 중금속이 인 제거 미생물의 생장 및 기능에 미치는 독성효과에 대한 기초자료를 제공함으로써 추후 진행될 미생물 단백질 동정, 중금속 독성평가에 관한 연구에 활용될 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

The effects of thermal cycle, aging heat treatment and Boron addition on the phase transformation characteristics and mechanical properties of the shape memory alloys of Cu-Zn-Al system, which was designed to operate about $80^{\circ}C$ by this research group, were studied. From the view point of the effects of thermal cycle on the phase transformation temperature change, it was found that up to 100 cycles Ms and Af points increased by $3-7^{\circ}C$ and Mf decreased a little bit and after that all of them were remain constant, and As point was not affected. All of the phase transformation temperatures were decreased $5-7^{\circ}C$ by aging heat treatment, at $140^{\circ}C$ for 24h however the effects of thermal cycle on aged alloys were same as on unaged alloys. As the thermal cycle increased the shape memory ability decreased a little up to 20 cycles, but above that it kept almost same ability. By Boron addition, grain size was refined from $1500{\mu}m$ to about $330{\mu}m$ and the hardness, fatigue property were improved but shape memory ability was lowered.

Catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide for the simultaneous synthesis of methanol and dimethyl ether (together called oxygenates) over a combination of methanol synthesis and methanol dehydration catalysts has been studied. Various methanol synthesis and methanol dehydration catalysts were examined for this reaction. The addition of promotors like $Ga_2O_3\; and\; Cr_2O_3$ to Cu/ZnO catalyst gave much more enhanced yield on the formation of oxygenates. From the results, the promotional effect of $Cr_2O_3$ has been explained in terms of increase in the intrinsic activity of Cu while that of $Ga_2O_3$ being increase in the dispersion of Cu. Among the methanol dehydration catalysts examined, the solid acids bearing high population of intermediate-strength acid sites were found to be very effective for the production of oxygenates. HY zeolite which contains strong acid sites produce small amount of hydrocarbons as by-products. However, CuNaY zeolite in which the presence of strong acid sites are minimum gives very high oxygenates yield without the formation of hydrocarbons.

In order to investigate effect of metal ion and antioxidant on rancidity of crude rapeseed oil (CRO), $Fe^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$, $Cr^{2+}$, $Sn^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, and antioxidants including BHA, Vitamin C, and Tocopherol were used. The specific gravity and refractive index of CRO were $0.92g/cm^3$ and 1.45, respectively. The chromaticities of light, red, and yellow in CRO were 88.6 and 98.7, respectively. Among various fatty acids, Oleic acid (C18:1) concentration was highest, 62.3% and Linoleic acid (C18:2) concentration was 19.16%. In the case of Linolenic acid (C18:3) and Palmitic acid (C16:0), they were 9.88 and 5.2%, respectively. The concentrations of unsaturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acid were 92.2 and 7.8%, respectively. The degree of expediting rancidity of CRO was an order of $Fe^{2+}$> $Cu^{2+}$> $Cr^{2+}$> $Zn^{2+}$> $Ni^{2+}$> $Al^{2+}$> $Mn^{2+}$> $Mn^{2+}$> $Sn^{2+}$> $Co^{2+}$> $Li^{2+}$. Especially, when $Cu^{2+}$ and $Fe^{2+}$ was used, the peroxide value concentration was about 4.0 fold higher than non addition of them. The inhibition effect of rancidity of CRO using antioxidant with $Cu^{2+}$ and $Fe^{2+}$ was an order of BHA> Vitamin C> Tocopherol.
