Acetone is a widely used Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) in industries and laboratories. However, acetone affects human health adversely and causes fires and explosions. Early acetone detection and improved personnel training in safety and emergency management are necessary to prevent acetone-related accidents. The multi-VOC acetone detectors used currently have a sensitivity and selectivity limit. In this study, we discovered that Pt-loaded iron oxide (a metal oxide semiconductor) conversely, has high detection and selectivity for very low-levels of acetone gas. The loaded Pt catalyzes the reaction between the sensing materials' surface and the oxygen molecules in the air; this optimizes acetone detection and can decrease acetone-related illnesses, fires and explosions.

This study examines the effects of post-oxidation treatment on the microstructure and corrosion resistance of GC250 cast iron. The nitriding process was conducted at 570℃ for 180 minutes with a fixed nitriding potential (Kn) of 1.5, followed by post-oxidation at 450℃, 500℃, and 550℃ for 120 minutes. The post-oxidized specimens showed increased surface hardness and case depth compared to the nitrided specimens, with a maximum surface hardness of approximately 890 HV0.1. The oxidation process increased the thickness of the nitrided layer by more than 3 ㎛, with the oxide layer thickness reaching up to 2.5㎛ as the oxidation temperature increased. XRD analysis identified the presence of ε-phase, γ'-phase, and Fe₃O⁴ phase on the surface. Polarization tests revealed that the specimen treated at the highest oxidation temperature had a corrosion current density of 20.26 ㎂/cm² and a corrosion potential of -0.22V, indicating enhanced corrosion resistance compared to the nitrided specimen. This improvement is attributed to the formation and increased thickness of the oxide layer, which enhances corrosion resistance. In conclusion, the oxide layer formed through post-oxidation treatment significantly improves the corrosion resistance of GC250 cast iron, with the effect becoming more pronounced at higher oxidation temperatures.

철 부식화합물은 부식인자들과 함께 다양한 결정구조를 가지며 2가지 이상의 부식화합물들이 혼합되어 존재하므로 각각의 특성을 밝혀내기가 매우 어렵다. 본 연구는 표준 철 부식물을 대상으로 Raman Micro-Spectroscopy 분석을 실시하여 표준 Raman Data 확보를 목적으로 수행하였다. 표준 철 부식물에 대한 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위하여 SEM-EDS 분석과 XRD 분석을 추가로 실시하였다. SEM-EDS 분석결과 모두 표준 철 부식물의 구성성분과 일치하였으나 Goethite의 경우 철 이외의 비철금속 성분이 검출되었다. XRD 분석 결과 모두 표준 철 부식물의 구조와 일치 하였으나 Iron sulfate($FeSO_4{\cdot}6H_2O$)의 경우 Rozenite($FeSO_4{\cdot}4H_2O$)로 확인되었다. Raman Micro-Spectroscopy 분석결과 기존에 연구되었던 수산화철, 산화철의 Wavenumber에서 새로운 peak이 발견되었는데 이는 레이저 파장의 변화에 따른 것으로 사료 된다. 염화철과 황산철에서 Wavenumber가 새롭게 확인되어 표준 Raman Data 8건을 확보하였다. Raman Micro-Spectroscopy는 적은양의 시료를 이용하여 물질의 특성과 구조를 비교적 간단하게 분석 할 수 있어 미세한 부분이나 시료의 양이 한정된 문화재에 활용도가 높을 것으로 판단된다.

Nitric oxide has high affinity for iron, and thus it can cause intracellular iron loss. We tested the idea that intracellular iron can be the primary target of NO toxicity by comparing the signaling mechanisms involved in cell death caused by iron depletion and that caused by NO. Treatment of HL-60 cells with a NO donor, S-nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine (SNAP), decreased the intracellular iron level rapidly as that observed with the iron chelator deferoxamine (DFO). Iron chelators such as DFO and mimosine could induce death of human leukemic HL-60 cells by a mechanism requiring activation of p38 kinase, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, caspase-3 and caspase-8. DFO and SNAP also caused release of cytochrome c from mitochondria. Inhibition of p38 kinase by a selective inhibitor, SB203580, abolished the NO and DFO-induced cell death, release of cytochrome c, and activation of caspase-3 and caspase-8, thus indicating that p38 kinase lies upstream in the cell death processes. In a parallel situation, the cells that are sensitive to NO showed similar sensitivity to DFO. Moreover, simultaneous addition of ferric citrate, an iron-containing compound, inhibited the SNAP and DFO-induced activation of caspases and also blocked the NO-mediated cell cycle arrest at $G_1$ phase. Collectively, our data implicate that the NO-induced cell death of tumor cells including HL-60 cells is mediated by depletion of iron and further suggest that activation of p38 kinase lies upstream of cytochrome c release and caspase activation involved in this apoptotic process.

The effects of post-oxidation and sulfnitriding treatments on the phase transformation in the nitrided case of tool steels have been studied. Dense and compact $Fe_3O_4$ layer was formed at the outer surface of nitride compound layer by post-oxidation treatment and multi layer of iron sulfide(FeS) was formed in the compound layer by sulfnitriding treatment. The surface hardness decreased because of formation of the soft oxide or sulfide at the nitride surface. Diffusion layer of nitride case was not affected by post-oxidation treatment or sulfnitriding treatment of nitrided alloy tool steels.

When the steel containing Si is oxidated in hi temperature, Re2O3, Red scale is made on the metal side as the spike phase, and this scale invasion into matrix. Therefore, it affects the feature, after rolling. It is reported that the role of Si is FeO/Fe2SiO4 eutectic compound, but Si can not affect pure iron independently. There must be Ni, then the spike phase can exist. Prominence and depression made by Ni that is necessity at the process to work iron. Therefore, in this study after the change of the amount of Ni in pure iron and steel and oxidation, the structure of the oxide and the surface, and the distribution of the elements were considered. In conclusion, at 100$0^{\circ}C$, 110$0^{\circ}C$, 120$0^{\circ}C$ the curves of oxidation weight are all S curves. Especially, in the beginning of oxidation as the amount of Ni increase, the amount of oxidation also increase. Practical steel has less oxidation than pure steel added Ni. There is much FeO in Fe-Ni alloy, compare to practical steel which has much Fe3O4. Especially, we could know considerable Ni was concentrated on the metal side in Fe-Ni alloy, practical steel. and the surface of the scale.

In this study, the (phosphorous removal) the characteristics of phosphorous removal due to (the iron compound precipitated) iron compound precipitation by iron electrolysis in (the anoxic. oxic process) anoxic and oxic processes (equipped with the) in an iron precipitation device were analyzed. During the device operation period, the average concentration of BOD, T-N, and T-P were 219.9 mg/l, 54.6 mg/l and 6.71 mg/l, respectively. The BOD/$COD_{Cr}$ ratio was 0.74, and the BOD/T-N and BOD/T-P ratios were 4.0 and 32.8, respectively. The removal rate of (the organic matters) organic matter (BOD and $COD_{Cr}$) was very high at 91.6% or higher, and that of nitrogen was 80.5%. The phosphorous concentration (of the final) in the treated water was 0.43 mg/l (0.05-0.74 mg/l) on average, and the removal efficiency was high at 90.8%. The soluble T-P concentrations in (an) the anoxic reactor, oxic reactor (II) and final treated water were 1.99 mg/l, 0.79 mg/l and 0.43 mg/l, respectively, which indicated that the phosphorous concentration in the treated water was very low. Regardless of the changes in the concentrations of (organic matters) organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorous in the influent, the quality of the treated water was relatively stable and high. The removal rate of T-P somewhat increased with the increase in the F/M ratio in the influent, and it also linearly increased in proportion to the T-P loading rate in the influent. In the treatment process used in this study, phosphorous was removed (using) by the precipitated iron oxide. Therefore, the consumption of organic (matters) matter for biological phosphorus removal was minimized and (most of the organic matters were) was mostly used as the organic carbon source for the denitrification in the anoxic reactor. This (can be an economic) treatment process (without the need for the supply of additional organic matters) is economic and does not require the supply of additional organic matter.

$10^{-6}{\sim}10^{-3}mol/{\ell}$ 농도범위에서 PO가 먼저 부가된 sodium poly(oxyethylene(EO), oxyisopropylene(PO)) dodecyl ether sulfates의 표면장력은 EO가 부가된 화합물보다 낮게 나왔다. 그리고 대체적으로 일반적인 음이온성계면활성제보다도 낮게 나왔다. PO가 먼저 부가된 화합물에 대하여 Gibbs' 흡착등온선으로 계산한 흡착능(${\Gamma}=2.2{\times}10^{-10}mol/cm^2$)은 EO가 부가된 화합물보다는 높지만 sodium dodecyl ether sulfate(${\Gamma}=3.2{\times}10^{-10}mol/cm^2$)보다는 낮다. 이러한 현상은 PO가 부가된 화합물의 분자량이 크기 때문으로 사료된다. 기포력, n-hexane과 benzene에 대한 유화력, 돼지기름과 소기름에 대한 세정력 그리고 산화철에 대한 분산성은 PO 화합물이 EO 화합물보다 우수하게 나타났다. 이러한 현상들은 친수성과 소수성 부분이 각각 따로 따로 존재할 때 계면활성이 높음을 의미한다. 수계에서 n-hexane과 benzene에 대한 유화력 측정결과는 n-hexane보다 benzene에 대하여 높게 나왔으며, 불규칙적인 분산특성을 나타내었다.

The mechanisms of formation of transfer film under the condition of wear of Steel AISI1020 by natural rubber were investigated. The transfer film was observed and the formation mechanisms were clarified. The formation process of transfer film on the worn surface of the steel could be divided into two stages. Firstly, the adhesive layer emerged on the worn surface of the steel by adhesion of natural rubber. in which the macromolecular chains of natural rubber joined to the surface of the steel by Van der Waals' force. And then, the iron atom and metal oxide reacted with the macromolecular of natural rubber in the adhesive layer and produced Fe-polymer compound. As a result, the transfer film was formed on the worn surface of the steel. The transfer film was joined to the worn surface of the steel by the chemical bonds and electrostatic force.
