The sewage treatment sludge disposal has become a serious environmental problem because of restricted direct land-filling and oceandumping in spite of their large amounts discharged. So the recycling of sewage treatment sludge is very useful alternative for waste management. Here, we studied the feasibility of zeolite synthesis in open system from the sewage treatment sludge incinerator fly ash by means of hydrothermal synthesis. We considered the concentration of NaOH, reaction time, reaction temperature and reaction step as synthesis variables. The phase of zeolite products was identified by X-ray diffractometer(XRD) and ammonium ion exchange test was performed for the raw fly ash and two zeolite products(Z-3 and Z-5). In leaching test of the raw fly ash, hazard metal is detected very low level compared with regulatory leaching test standard. But in total recoverable test, the total contents of the fly ash were very high in terms of the standard for waste-derived fertilizer. Through hydrothermal reaction, small amount of zeolite P was synthesied in 1 N of NaOH solution and relatively large amount of hydroxysodalite was synthesied in 3 N and 5 N of NaOH solution with similar peak intensity. Addition of an aging step in the synthesis didn't increase the amount of zeolite phase. Maximum $NE_4^+-N$ exchange capacity is 1.49 mg $NH_4^+-N/g$ in Z-3 and 1.38 mg $NH_4^+-N/g$ in Z-5. Most of the ammonium ion is exchanged in 30 minutes and disorption did not occur until 5 hours.

We firstly report that formation of $SiO_2$ layer on Si surface can be effectively prevented by flowing the $Si_2H_6$ gas during the heating-up procedure for amorphous Si depositions. In this way, amorphously deposited Si layer onto crystalline Si substrates can be grown epitaxially during the post-deposition heat treatments. The suppression of surface $SiO_2$ can be explained in terms of adsorption of SiHx adspecies, instead of oxygen from residual gases in the reactors, to Si surfaces after desorption of hydrogen from H-passivated Si surfaces. Employing $Si_2H_6$ flowing and soild phase epitaxial growth, high-quality epitaxial Si layer can be obtained at low temperatures below $600^{\circ}C$ without conventional high temperature cleaning procedures.

We have fabricated SmBCO coated conductor on IBAD-MgO substrates using unique co-evaporation method. The batch type co-deposition system was specially designed and named as EDDC(evaporation using drum m dual chamber) that is possible to deposit superconducting layer with different composition ratio at low temperature of $700^{\circ}C$. In this study, we have investigated the influence of SmBCO phase composition and texture of IBAD-MgO template on the critical current density. We have changed the deposition rates of Sm, Ba and Cu during co-evaporation to examine the optimal composition ratio shown better critical current density. The composition ratio and surface morphology of SmBCO coated conductors were analyzed by the EDX and SEM, respectively. A higher critical current density was measured at superconducting phase composition ratio of Ba deficiency, Sm or Cu rich compared to the Sm1Ba2Cu3Ox stoichiometry.

In this study we investigated post ELA(Excimer Laser Annealing) effect on SMC (Silicide Mediated Crystalization) poly-Si (Polycrystalline Silicon) to improve the characteristics of poly-Si. Combining SMC and XeCl ELA were used to crystallize the a-Si (amorphous Silicon) at various ELA energy density for LTPS (Low Temperature Polycrystalline Silicon). We fabricated the conventional SMC poly-Si with no SPC (Solid Phase Crystallization) phase using UV heating method[1] and irradiated excimer laser on SMC poly-Si, so called SMC-ELA poly-Si. After using post ELA we can get better surface morphology than conventional ELA poly-Si and enhance characteristics of SMC poly-Si. We also observed the threshold energy density regime in SMC-ELA poly-Si like conventional ELA poly-Si.

We investigated the wafer-level MEMS capping process for which cavity formation in Si wafer was not required. Ni caps were formed by electrodeposition on 4" Si wafer and Ni rims of the Ni caps were bonded to the Cu rims of bottom Si wafer by using epoxy. Then, top Si wafer was debonded from the Ni cap structures by using SnBi layer of low melting temperature. As-evaporated SnBi layer was composed of double layers of Bi and Sn due to the large difference in vapor pressures of Bi and Sn. With keeping the as-evaporated SnBi layer at $150^{\circ}C$ for more than 15 sec, SnBi alloy composed of eutectic phase and Bi-rich $\beta$ phase was formed by interdiffusion of Sn and Bi. Debonding between top Si wafer and Ni cap structures was accomplished by melting of the SnBi layer at $150^{\circ}C$.

A sensitive and accurate method for the detection of astaxanthin was developed. The optimum HPLC system for the extraction and quantification of astaxanthin was based on a reversed phase column, and a quaternate mobile phase contained dichloromethane. The amount of astaxanthin can be accurately quantified in Phaffia rhodozyma cultures. The results of this study suggest that the mixture solution of dimethylsulphoxide and acetone is the optimal extraction solvent for astaxanthin and samples treatment for astaxanthin analysis must control low temperature and absent light operation strictly.

A novol clock distribution scheme is proposed for high-speed and low-power digital system to minimize clock skew and reduce dynamic power consumption. This scheme has ideal zero-skew characteristic by using folded clock lines (FCL) and phase blending circuit. For analyzing suitable line structures to FCLs, microstrip line and coplanar line are placed with folded clock lines. Simulation results show that the maximum clock-skew between two receivers located 10mm apart is less than lops at 1㎓ and the maximum clock-skew between two receivers located 20mm apart is less than 60ps at 1㎓. Also the results show that the minimum skews of clock signals regardless of process, voltage, and temperature variation are invariant.

Hydrogen storage as a metal hydride is the most promising alternative because of its relatively large hydrogen storage capacities near room temperature. TiMn2-based C14 Laves phases alloys are one of the promising hydrogen storage materials with easy activation, good hydriding-dehydriding kinetics, high hydrogen storage capacity and relatively low cost. In this work, multi-component, hyper-stoichiometric $Ti_{0.85}Zr_{0.13}(Fe_x-V)_{0.56}Mn_{1.47}Ni_{0.05}$ C14 Laves phase alloys were prepared by a vacuum induction melting for a hydrogen storage tank. Since pure vanadium (V) is quite expensive, the substitution of the V element in these alloys has been tried and some interesting results were achieved by replacing V by commercial ferrovanadium (FeV) raw material. In addition, the melt-spinning process, which was applied to the manufacturing of some of these alloys, could make the plateau slopes much flatter, which resulted in the increase of reversible hydrogen storage capacity. The improvement of sloping properties of melt-spun $Ti_{0.85}Zr_{0.13}(Fe_x-V)_{0.56}Mn_{1.47}Ni_{0.05}$ alloys was mainly attributed to the homogeneity of chemical composition.

Recently, because diffusion of cordless machine and smart card and so on, and concern of unpolluted materials, one are concerned with Li secondary batteries. Li secondary batteries have high voltage, high energy density and high power density, and heavy metal pollution problems are little. Mn is low price and is distributed much quantity. Therefore, we investigated $MnO_2$. In this study, we worked the electrochemical properties and charge/discharge characteristics of $MnO_2/Li$ cells. In results, the more heating temperature is high, the more ${\gamma}-phase$ varied ${\beta}-phase$, and when $MnO_2$ is heated at $320^{\circ}C$ and super-s-black 20wt% is mixed, characteristics are the best.
