Effects of aging treatment on the microstructures and microhardness of a rapidly solidified Al-Li-Cu-Mg-Zr alloy were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The as-melt-spun ribbon was consisted of fine ${\delta}^{\prime}$ and icosahedral intermetallic compound which were precipitated in the matrix. Two exothermic peaks with the range of $120^{\circ}C-190^{\circ}C$ and $280^{\circ}C-344^{\circ}C$ corresponded to ${\delta}^{\prime}$ and ${\theta}^{\prime}$, S', $T_1$ precipitating reaction respectively, and two endothermic peaks with the range of $190^{\circ}C-280^{\circ}C$ and $344^{\circ}C-550^{\circ}C$ corresponded to dissolution of ${\delta}^{\prime}$ and ${\theta}^{\prime}$, S', $T_1$ respectively in DSC curves. Peak hardness value was obtained at $210^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr aging treatment.

TlCl2(TCNQ)2.5 and Tl(TCNQ)3 were obtained from the reaction of LiTCNQ (TCNQ=tetracyanoquinodimethane) and TlX3 (X=Cl and NO3). These compounds were characterized by spectroscopic(IR, UV, EPR), electrochemical methods, and electrical conductivity measurements. Thermal analysis (TG, DSC) was also conducted. The room temperature electrical conductivities of these compounds are in the range of semiconductors. Spectroscopic studies indicate that Tl(TCNQ)3 has fully ionized TCNQ- ions in a form of simple salt, whereas TlCl2(TCNQ)2.5 is consisted of TCNQ- and TCNQ0 as a complex salt. EPR values of TCNQ- radical anion are 1.999 in both compounds and the signal attributable to metal ion is not observed, suggesting that any unpaired electrons are localized on TCNQ radicals, and metal atoms have diamagnetic state. Ligand decomposition and reduction process are simultaneously progressed in both compounds above at 200 ℃. The endothermic activation energy of TlCl2(TCNQ)2.5 is shown somewhat larger than that of Tl(TCNQ)3, it may be due to Tl-Cl bond strength. The mid-peak potentials of these compounds are very similar to those of TCNQ and the values of Epa and Epc are almost equal to 1. The wave of thallium ion is not detected in cyclic voltammogram, hence the redox processes of the complexes might be mainly localized to the TCNQ ligand rather than thallium ion.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the efficiency with which phosphorylated spent coffee grounds (PSCG) remove cationic Cu(II) ions from an aqueous solution. The pHpzc of the SCG was 6.43, but it was lowered to 3.96 in the PSCG, confirming that an acidic functional group was attached to the surface of the PSCG. According to FT-IR analysis, phosphorylation of the SCG added P=O, P-O-C (aromatic), P=OOH, and P-O-P groups to the surface of the adsorbent, and the peaks of the carboxyl and OH groups were high and broad. Also, the specific surface area, mesopore range, and ion exchange capacity increased significantly by phosphorylation. The adsorption kinetics and isothermal experiments showed that Cu(II) adsorption using SCG and PSCG was explained by PSO and Langmuir models. The maximum Langmuir adsorption capacity of SCG and PSCG was 42.23 and 162.36 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption process of both SCG and PSCG was close to physical adsorption and endothermic reaction in which the adsorption efficiency increased with temperature. PSCG was very effective in adsorbing Cu(II) in aqueous solution, which has great advantages in terms of recycling resources and adsorbing heavy metals using waste materials.

Various inorganic fillers improve the thermal conductivity and physical properties of organic products. Alumina has been used a representative filler in the heat radiation sheet for the heat radiation of electric device. The high filling rate of alumina increases the thermal conductivity and properties of products. We successfully developed the spherical alumina by flame fusion process using the oxygen burner with LPG fuel. In the high temperature flame (2500$\sim$3000$^{\circ}C$) of oxygen burner, sprayed powders were melting and then rotated by carrier gas. This surface melting and rotation process made spherical alumina. Especially effects of chemical composition and particle size of stating materials on the melting behavior of starting materials in the flame and spheroidization ratio were investigated. As a result, spheroidization ratio of boehmite and aluminum hydroxide with endothermic reaction of dehydration process was lower than that of the sintered alumina without dehydration reaction.

Recently, a fuel reforming plant for supplying high purity hydrogen has been studied to increase the operation time of underwater weapon systems. Since steam reforming is an endothermic reaction, it is necessary to continuously supply heat to the reactor. A fuel reforming plant needs a methanol-O₂ catalytic burner to obtain heat and supply heat to the reformer. In this study, two types of designs of a catalytic burner are presented and the results are analyzed through the experiments. The design of the catalytic burner is divided into that the O₂ supply direction is perpendicular to the methanol flow direction (Design 1) and the same as the methanol flow direction (Design 2). In case of Design 1, backfire and flame combustion occurred in the mixing space in front of the catalyst, and in the absence of the mixing space, combustion reaction occurred only in a part of the catalyst. For above reasons, Design 1 could not increase the exhaust gas temperature to 750℃. In Design 2, no flashback and flame combustion were observed, the exhaust gas could be maintained up to 750℃. However, the O₂ distributor was exposed to high temperatures, resulting in thermal damage.

In order to utilize hydrogen energy in a large-scale in the future, development of effective hydrogen storage method is essentially required as well as that of efficient hydrogen production method. The hydrogen storage method using metal hydrides has been holding the spotlight as a safer and higher-density hydrogen storage method than conventional hydrogen storage methods such as liquid hydrogen or compressed hydrogen storage method. However when metals react with hydrogen to store hydrogen as metal hydrides, they undergo exothermic reactions, while metal hydrides evolve hydrogen by endothermic reaction. Therefore, hydrogen storage tank should have such structure that it can absorb or release reaction heat rapidly and efficiently. In this study, a review on the improvement of the heat release and absorption structure in the hydrogen storage tank was conducted, and as a result, a new type of hydrogen storage tank with the structure of vertical-type wall was designed and manufactured. Experimental results showed that this new type of tank could be used as an efficient hydrogen storage tank because its structure is simpler and manufacture is easier than cup-type hydrogen storage tank with the structure of packed horizontal cup.

The heat transportation from a complex of industry to a rural area needs more efficient method because the distance between them is usually more than 10km. Conventional heat transportation using steam or hot water via pipe line has limits in transportation distance (about 3-5 km) because of the heat loss and frictional loss in the pipe line. Metal hydride can absorb or discharge hydrogen through exothermic and endothermic reaction. After releasing hydrogen from metal hydride with heatings by waste heat from industry we can transport this hydrogen to the rural area via pipe line. In the urban areas other metal hydride reacts with this hydrogen and produces heat for heating. Cool heat is also obtained if it is possible to use metal hydride with low reaction temperature. So metal hydride can be used as a media for transportation, storage of heat. Some problems of the heat transportation using metal hydrides, and the example of heat transportation system were discussed.

The adsorption features of $Ni^{2+}$ onto spent alkaline manganese batteries powder have been investigated with the adsorbent dose, initial concentration of adsorbate and temperature as the experimental variables. The adsorption reaction of $Ni^{2+}$ ion followed the pseudo-second order rate model, and the adsorption rate constants($k_2$) decreased with increasing initial concentration of nickel ion. The equilibrium adsorption data were fitted to the Langmuir and Freundlich models. The Freundlich model represents the equilibrium data better than the Langmuir model in this initial adsorbate concentration range. As the temperature increased, the adsorbed amount of nickel ion at equilibrium was also increased, which indicated that the adsorption reaction was endothermic. Based on the experimental results obtained along with temperatures, thermodynamic parameters such as ${\Delta}H^{\circ},\;{\Delta}G^{\circ},\;and\;{\Delta}S^{\circ}$ were calculated.

The rates of hydrolysis of the complex, $trans^-[Cr(en)_2F(H_2O)]^{2+}$, have been investigated using spectrophotometric method at various temperatures and pressure. Temperature was 30${\circ}C$ to 50${\circ}C$ and pressure was varied up to 1500bar. The rate constant measured at 30${\circ}C$ is $2.632{\times}10^{-5}sec^{-1}$. The rate constants are decrease with increasing pressure at constants temperature. Activation volume and other activation parameters are calculated from these rate constants. The activation volumes are all positive and lie in the limited range 0.447 ∼ 3.152$cm^3$/mol and the activation entropies are small values. From the results, it was found that this reaction was endothermic and enthalphy controlled reaction in the experimental temperature.

The capacity of inclusion complex formation between ${\alpha}$-, ${\beta}$-, ${\gamma}$-cyclodextrins(CDs) and various compounds, such as pH indicators, biloslalns, glycoside, amino acid, and fatty acids, was compared. Fatty acid was identified as the most suitable ligand for fractionation of CDs in terms of capacity and selectivity. The effects of complex formation conditions, such as, mixing ratio of CD and fatty acid, pH, ionic strength, and temperature, on the capacity of fatty acrid-CD complex was also investigated. The carbon number of fatty acids was identified as the most significant factor determining the capacity and selectivity of inclusion complex formation of CDs. Capric acid(C10) and palmitic acid(C16) showed high specificity for ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-CDs, respectively. Under the optimal conditions, the molar ratio of complex formed was found to be 1.0:2.6 for ${\alpha}$-CD/capric acid and 1.0:1.9 for ${\beta}$-CD/palmitic acid. X-ray diffraction and infrared spectrum of the formed inclusion complex were analyzed. The changes of enthalpy($\Delta$H) of the inclusion complex formation reaction was evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry, showed that the reaction was endothermic.
