Waste citrus peel-based activated carbon (WCAC) was prepared from waste citrus peels by activation with KOH. The removal of Cu and Pb ions from aqueous solution by the prepared WCAC was investigated in batch experiments. The solution pH significantly influenced Cu and Pb adsorption capacity and the optimum pH was 4 to 6. The adsorption of Cu and Pb ions by WCAC followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity calculated by Langmuir isotherm model was 31.91 mg/g for Cu and 92.22 mg/g for Pb. As the temperature was increased from 303 K to 323 K, the ${\Delta}G^{\circ}$ value decreased from -7.01 to -8.57 kJ/mol for Cu ions and from -0.87 to -2.06 kJ/mol for Pb ions. These results indicated that the adsorption of Cu and Pb by WCAC is a spontaneous process.

A method to determine quinine in aqueous solution by chemiluminescence method using a stopped flow system has been studied. The method is based on the increased chemiluminescence intensity with the addition of quinine to a solution of lucigenin and hydrogen peroxide. The effects of KOH concentration, flow rate of reagents, $H_{2}O_{2}$ concentration used for the masking of quinine on the chemiluminescence intensity have been investigated. The calibration curve for quinine was linear over the range from $1.0{\times}10^{-7}$ M to $1.0{\times}10^{-3}$ M, coefficient of correlation was 0.993 and the detection limit was $3.0{\times}10^{-8}$ M under the optimal experimental conditions of 1.0 M, 1.5 M, 3.0 mL/min for the concentration of $H_{2}O_{2}$, KOH and flow rate of reagents, respectively.

In this paper, the NO was oxidized $NO_2$ by using the non-thermal plasma and NOx removal characteristics were measured by showering NaOH water-solution to $NO_2$. The NO oxidation increased in the order of DC, AC, and Pulse. NOx oxidation for two stage with applied voltage was better than that for one stage with applied voltage. NO oxidation didn't depend on applied voltage. While NO oxidation was going on, NOx removal efficiency was 20-25%, however, significantly depended on the injection method of air and $H_2O$ + air. When NaOH water-solution density of 20% was showered to flue gases, NOx removal efficiency increased to 64%.

본 연구에서는 표면적이 높은 제올라이트나 촤를 지지체로 이용해 알칼리금속을 담지시킴으로써 염기 세기를 증가시켜 전이에스테르화 반응에 있어 보다 좋은 활성을 가지는 고체촉매를 만들고자 하였다. 제올라이트는 KOH 수용액으로 담지하였고, 미역촤는 calcium nitrate를 담지하여 염기의 세기를 증가시켰다. Hammett 지시약과 $CO_2$-TPD를 통하여 촉매의 특성을 분석하였다. 대두유과 메탄올을 사용하여 바이오디젤을 합성한 후 지방산 메틸에스테르 함유량을 측정함으로서 촉매의 활성을 알아보았다. 일정량까지는 담지량과 활성이 비례하였으나, 과량 담지 시 오히려 활성이 감소하는 결과를 보였다.

수열합성법을 이용하여 $1~3\;\mu\textrm{m}$의 입자 크기를 갖는 균일한 $Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_{3}$ (PZT)분말을 제조하였다. 출발물질의 종류에 따라 반응조건이 다소 차이를 보였지만, 일반적으로 10 M의 KOH를 광화제로 사용하여, $180^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 2시간 동안 반응시켜 PZT 분말을 합성 할 수 있었다. 또한, 광화제의 농도, 수열반응 온도, 그리고 반응시간이 증가할수록 균일상의 분말이 형성됨을 보였다.

Sulphonated polysulphone (SPS) has been synthesized and subsequently applied as binder for graphene oxide (GO)-based electrodes for development of electrochemical supercapacitors. Electrochemical performance of the electrode was investigated using cyclic voltammetry in 1M Na₂SO₄ and 1M KOH solution. The fabricated supercapacitors gave a specific capacitance of 161.6 and 216.8 F/g with 215.4 W/kg and 450 W/kg of power density, in 1M Na₂SO₄ and 1M KOH solutions, respectively. This suggests that KOH is a better electrolyte than Na₂SO₄ for studying the electrochemical behavior of electroactive material, and also suggests SPS is a good binder for fabrication of a GO based electrode.

Square lattice nano-hole arrays with diameters and periodicities of 200 and 500 nm, respectively, are fabricated on InGaN/GaN blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) using electron-beam lithography and inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching processes. Cathodoluminescence (CL) investigations show that light emission intensity from the LEDs with the nano-hole arrays is enhanced compared to that from the planar sample. The CL intensity enhancement factor decreases when the nano-holes penetrate into the multiple quantum wells (MQWs) due to the plasma-induced damage and the residues. Wet chemical treatment using KOH solution is found to be an effective method for light extraction from the nano-patterned LEDs, especially, when the nano-holes penetrate into the MQWs. About 4-fold CL intensity enhancement factor is achieved by the KOH treatments after the dry etching for the sample with a 250-nm deep nano-hole array.

Poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) 부직포 분리막 상에 poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), potassium poly(acrylate) (PAAK)의 각 고분자와 6 M KOH로 조성된 전해질을 코팅하고 이를 활성탄 수퍼커패시터에 적용하여 고분자 종류에 따른 전기화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 특징적으로 PEO와 PVA는 그 고분자 사슬의 자체 구조로 인해 알칼리 전해액 성분 (KOH)과의 상호작용이 활성적이지 않은데 반하여, PAAK는 3 wt% 함량만으로도 주사슬 및 곁사슬에 분포하는 $COO^-K^+$ 이온쌍과 전해액 내 해리되어 있는 $K^+$ 및 $OH^-$ 이온들과의 상호작용이 활성적으로 진행되어 하이드로겔을 형성하며, 이것이 이온전도 및 수퍼커패시터의 전기화학적 특성에 큰 영향을 주었다. 결과적으로 PAAK-KOH 전해질/PAN 분리막으로 포함한 활성탄 수퍼커패시터가 가장 우수한 축전용량 ($100mVs^{-1}$에서 $46.8Fg^{-1}$)을 나타내었다.

In the present study, the removal of Pb (II) ions on oxidized activated carbons (ACs) was investigated. ACs were derived from activation of indigenous cotton stalks waste with potassium hydroxide (KOH) in two-stage process. The KOH-ACs were subjected to liquid-phase oxidation with hot $HNO_3$ and one untreated sample was included for comparison. The obtained carbons were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), slurry pH and $N_2$-adsorption at 77 K, respectively. Adsorption capacity of Pb (II) ions on the resultant carbons was determined by batch equilibrium experiments. The experimental results indicated that the oxidation with nitric acid was associated with a significant increase in mass of yield as well as a remarkable reduction in internal porosity as compared to the untreated carbon. The AC-800N revealed higher adsorption capacity than that of AC-800, although the former sample exhibited low surface area and micropore volume. It was observed that the adsorption capacity enhancement attributed to pore widening, the generation of oxygen functional groups and potassium containing compounds leading to cation-exchange on the carbon surface. These results show that the oxidized carbons represented prospective adsorbents for enhancing the removal of heavy metals from wastewater.

Iron oxides currently attract considerable attention due to their potential applications in the fields of lithiumion batteries, bio-medical sensors, and hyperthermia therapy materials. Magnetite (Fe₃O₄) is a particularly interesting research target due to its low cost, good biocompatibility, outstanding stability in physiological conditions. Hydrothermal synthesis is one of several liquid-phase synthesis methods with water or an aqueous solution under high pressure and high temperature. This paper reports the growth of magnetic Fe₃O₄ particles from iron powder (spherical, <10 ㎛) through an alkaline hydrothermal process under the following conditions: (1) Different KOH molar concentrations and (2) different synthesis time for each KOH molar concentrations. The optimal condition for the synthesis of Fe₃O₄ using Fe powders is hydrothermal oxidation with 6.25 M KOH for 48 h, resulting in 89.2 emu/g of saturation magnetization at room temperature. The structure and morphologies of the synthesized particles are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD, 2θ = 20°-80°) with Cu-kα radiation and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), respectively. The magnetic properties of magnetite samples are investigated using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The role of KOH in the formation of magnetite octahedron is observed.
