Trace mineral studies involving metal ion chelators have been conducted in investigating the response of gene and protein expressions of certain cell lines but a few had really focused on how these metal ion chelators could affect the availability of important trace minerals such as Zn, Mn, Fe and Cu. The aim of the present study was to investigate the availability of Zn for the treatment of MC3T3-E1 osteoblast-like cells and the availability of some trace minerals in the cell culture media components after using chelexing resin in the FBS and the addition of N,N,N',N'-tetrakis-(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine (TPEN, membrane-permeable chelator) and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA, membrane-impermeable chelator) in the treatment medium. Components for the preparation of cell culture medium and Zn-treated medium have been tested for Zn, Mn, Fe and Cu contents by atomic absorption spectrophotometer or inductively coupled plasma spectrophotometer. Also, the expression of bone-related genes (ALP, Runx2, PTH-R, ProCOL I, OPN and OC) was measured on the cellular Zn depletion such as chelexing or TPEN treatment. Results have shown that using the chelexing resin in FBS would significantly decrease the available Zn (p<0.05) $(39.4{\pm}1.5{\mu}M\;vs\;0.61{\pm}10.15{\mu}M)$ and Mn (p<0.05) $(0.74{\pm}0.01{\mu}M\;vs\;0.12{\pm}0.04{\mu}M)$. However, levels of Fe and Cu in FBS were not changed by chelexing FBS. The use of TPEN and DTPA as Zn-chelators did not show significant difference on the final concentration of Zn in the treatment medium (0, 3, 6, 9, $12{\mu}M$) except for in the addition of higher $15{\mu}M\;ZnCl_2$ which showed a significant increase of Zn level in DTPA-chelated treatment medium. Results have shown that both chelators gave the same pattern for the expression of the five bone-related genes between Zn and Zn+, and TPEN-treated experiments, compared to chelex-treated experiment, showed lower bone-related gene expression, which may imply that TPEN would be a stronger chelator than chelex resin. This study showed that TPEN would be a stronger chelator compared to DTPA or chelex resin and TPEN and chelex resin exerted cellular zinc depletion to be enough for cell study for Zn depletion.

Thermistor is the semiconducting material whose electrical resistance is varied with its self heating. In this paper, the improvement of resistance-temperature characteristics of NTC thermistor devices based on NiO was experimented. The specimens were prepared by mixing NiO and Mn$_2$O$_3$(1:1 mole %) and by addition of CuO(1 wt %, 2 wt %, 4 wt %). The specimens were compacted at the pressure of 1000 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and sintered for 1 hour in air ambient at 120$0^{\circ}C$. Reducing CuO additions not only resistance-temperature characteristics, but also increased room temperature resistance.

In this study, various alloying elements (Cr, Sr, Ca, Cd) were added to improve the mechanical properties of ADC12 fabricated by a die casting process. The effect of alloying elements on the microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. The phase analysis results of the modified ADC12 alloy with conventional ADC12 alloy, showed the similar characteristics of Al matrix, Si phase, $CuAl_2$ phase and the Fe intermetallic phase. As a result of the microstructure observation, the secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) was shown to have decreased after the addition of the alloying elements. The eutectic Si phase, which existed as flake form in the conventional ADC12 alloy, was modified finely as a fiber form in the modified ADC12 alloy. It was observed that the $CuAl_2$ phase as the strengthening phase was relatively finely distributed in the modified ADC12 alloy. The Fe intermetallic appeared as a Chinese script shaped $Al_6$ (Mn,Fe) which is detrimental to mechanical properties in conventional ADC12 alloy. On the other hand, in the modified ADC12 alloy, polyhedral ${\alpha}-Al_{15}Si_2$ $(Fe,Mn,Cr)_3$ was observed. The tensile properties were improved in the modified ADC12 alloy. The yield strength and tensile strength increased by 12.4% and 10.0%, respectively, in the modified ADC12 alloy, and the elongation was also seen to have been increased. As a result of the pin on disk wear test, the wear resistance properties were also improved by up to about 7% in the modified ADC12 alloy. It is noted that the wear deformation microstructures were also observed, and it was found that the fine eutectic Si and strengthening phases greatly improved abrasion resistance.

Korea contract Mn-nodule field in the NE equatorial Pacific is composed of seven sectors with average water depths of 4,513-5,025 m. Of the various factors controlling the properties of Mn-nodule, it seems that water depth is likely connected to the chemical composition and occurrence of nodules. To test whether such an assumption held in each sector, we reviewed previous research data accumulated since 1994 for one of the northern sectors (hereafter KR1) where there are stark contrasts in water depth. High-resolution seabed mapping clearly separates a northern part (KR1N) from a deeper southern part (KR1S), cutting across in the middle of the KR1. In addition, significant volcanic activities forming numerous seamounts are distinctive especially in KR1N. In terms of nodule occurrence, manganese nodules in KR1S are comparatively larger (2-4 cm) with a discoidal shape, while those in KR1N are generally small (<2 cm) with poly-lobate and irregular shapes. Nodules in KR1N also have lower Co, Cu, Mn and Ni, and higher Fe contents. The spatial separation in nodule characteristics might be caused by volcanic activities in KR1N rather than water depth contrast. During the formation of the seamounts in KR1N, rock fragments and volcanic ashes as new nuclei of the nodules would have been continuously generated. As a result, the nodules could not grow larger than 2 cm and display the shapes of a newbie (i.e., irregular and poly-lobate shapes). Moreover, significant Fe supply from volcanic activities probably decreases the Mn/Fe ratio, which may lead to the KR1 nodules being misinterpreted as a hydrogenic in origin compared to other sectors where a high Mn/Fe ratio is present.

In early 1990s, the Korean government has launched a deep-sea research program to secure the stable long-term supply of strategic metallic minerals including Cr, Cu and Ni. Through the pioneering surveys, Korea registered $150,000km^2$ of Mn-nodule field in the Clarion-Clipperton area, the NE equatorial Pacific to the international sea-bed authority (ISA) in 1994. Following the ISA exploration code, the final exclusive exploration area of $75,000km^2$ was assigned in 2002, based on results of eight-year researches of chemico-physical properties of nodules, bottom profiles and sediment properties. Since that time, environmental studies, mining technical developments including robot miner and lifting system and establishment of smelting systems were accompanied with the detailed geophysical studies to decipher the priori mining area until 2009. Major points of the recent Korea Mn-nodule program are deployed on a commercial scale until 2015. In order to meet the goals, we developed a 1/5 scaled robot miner compared to commercial one in 2012 and performed a mining test at the water depth of 1,370 m in 2013. In addition, detailed 25,000 scaled mining maps in the priori area, which can provide operation roots of the miner, will be prepared and an environmental-friendly mining strategy will be pursued based on the environmental impact test and environmental monitoring.

To improve the low ductility and high strain-rate sensitivity in Sn-Bi based solder alloys, the influences of the minor additions of alloying elements (Ag, Mn, In) were investigated. The strain-stress curves of various Sn-40Bi(-X) alloys, including a pre-suggested Sn-40Bi-0.1Cu composition were measured using a tensile testing machine. As a result, the elongation and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) values were compared. The small addition (0.5 wt.%) of Ag significantly enhanced the ductility and high strain-rate sensitivity of the alloys at strain rates of $10^{-4}$ to $10^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ mainly due to the increase and refinement of eutectic lamellar structures. The microstructure change increased the area of grain boundaries, thus ameliorating the grain boundary sliding mode. It was also found that Mn is an effective element in enhancing the ductility, especially at the strain rates of $10^{-3}$ to $10^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ The enhancement is likely attributed to the fine and homogeneous microstructure in the alloys containing Mn.

Effects of Si and Ni addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Cu-12wt.%Al-5wt.%Fe-1wt.%Mn alloy have been investigated experimentally. Microstructure of the as-cast specimen is found to be refined markedly by additions of Ni and Si. By the addition of Ni, volume fraction of the ${\kappa}$ phase is increased, but volume fraction of the ${\gamma}$ phase is decreased. Hardness is increased with the addition of Ni, due to increasing of ${\kappa}$ phase which is harder than ${\gamma}$ phase. However, Charpy impact value is not significally decreased possibly due to the formation of isolate ${\kappa}$ phase.

전기자동차 시장의 급속한 성장으로 이차전지의 사용이 급증함에 따라 사용 후 전지의 폐기 및 재활용이 심각한 문제로 제기되고 있다. 사용 후 리튬이온 전지를 처리하기 위해서는 저장된 에너지를 제거하기 위하여 효과적으로 방전하는 과정이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 흑연과 LiNi_0.6Co_0.2Mn_0.2O₂ (NCM622)을 사용하여 코인셀 형태로 반쪽전지 및 완전지를 제조하였고, 이를 과방전할 때 발생하는 전기화학적 거동에 대하여 분석하였다. 반쪽전지를 사용하여 양극과 음극을 각각 과방전시키면, 양극에서는 먼저 전이금속 산화물이 금속으로 환원되는 전환반응을 겪게 되며, 음극에서는 SEI 피막의 분해에 이어 집전체인 Cu가 용출되는 부반응이 발생하였다. 또한, 이러한 과방전의 발생 시에는 큰 분극을 필요로 하였다. 완전지의 과방전 시에는 각각의 부반응이 진행되는 시점에 존재하는 큰 분극들로 인하여 부반응의 본격적인 발생 전에 0 V에 도달하여 방전이 종료되었다. 그러나, 사이클을 통하여 용량이 퇴화된 완전지의 경우에는 과방전거동이 변화하여 음극에서 Cu 집전체의 부식이 발생됨을 확인하였다. 따라서, 사용 후 전지는 사용 전의 전지와는 과방전 시에 다른 거동을 지니고 있으므로 이러한 점들이 고려되어야 한다.

논토양에 무연탄회와 유연탄회를 토양무게의 0%, 15%, 30%로 pot에 첨가하고 수도를 재배하면서 침투수 중 중금속의 용탈량을 조사 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 침출수 중의 철의 용탈은 재배 후기에 높았으며 수도 재배로 철의 용탈은 증가되나 석탄회 처리간에는 뚜렷한 차이가 없었다. 침투수중의 Mn의 용탈량은 재배에 따라 증가되는 경향으로 재배구의 용탈량이 높았으며 석탄회 처리간에는 뚜렷한 차이가 없었다. 아연의 용탈은 수도 재배 20-25일 경이 가장 높았고 그 이후는 감소되는 경향으로 석탄회 시용으로 용탈량이 증가되지는 않았다. Cu의 침투수중 용탈량은 재배와 더불어 감소되는 경향을 나타냈으며, 석탄회 시용으로 Cu의 용탈량은 증가되지 않았으며 수도재배의 영향도 뚜렷하지 않았다. 침투수중 Pb의 용탈은 재배와 더불어 감소되는 경향이었으며 석탄회 처리로 크게 영향을 받지 않았고 7월 중순 이후는 거의 용탈이 되지 않았다. 침투수 중의 Cd 용탈량은 재배 15일 경에 가장 높았으며 그 이후 감소하여 재배 40일 이후 거의 용탈되지 않는 경향이었으며 석탄회 처리의 영향은 크지 않았다. 석탄회를 처리한 수도재배 조건하에서 투수중 중금속의 용탈량은 대조구에 비하여 우려할 양은 아니었다. 이것은 원래 석탄회 중의 중금속 함량이 낮았고, 또 토양의 pH가 비교적 높기 때문에 중금속의 용해도가 감소되어 가용성 중금 속의 침출량이 적었던 것으로 판단된다.
