The powder preparation by using emulsion drying method, one of the chemical powder fabrication methods has the advantages; easy to control the chemical stoichiometry and to fabricate homogeneously fine particles. In the present study, the initial morphology and size distribution of the powder fabricated by using emulsion dry-ing method were controlled and were improved the homogeneity. By carefully controlling the mixing ratio of oil phase and aqueous solution and surfactant of preventing emulsion separation, the Bi(Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O su-perconducting powders were prepared. The properties of the superconducting powder fabricated by this method and the microstructures and superconducting properties of the pelletized samples were investigated. The microstructures and electric properties of the tapes prepared by oxide powder-in-tube method were in-vestigated. The fabricated powder was spherical with less than 1$\mu$m but most of them was agglomerated with 2~5$\mu$m in size. The critical temperature of the pelletized sample annealed at 84$0^{\circ}C$ for 72 hours in oxygen par-tial pressure of 1/13atm in Ar atmosphere was 108K. And the critical current of the first and second annealed tapes in air prepared by oxide powder-in-tube process were 0.4A and 1.5A, respectively.

This paper aims to examine the effect of nanodroplets on pool-type absorption heat transfer enhancement and to find the relationship between the dispersion stability and the absorption performance. The concentrations of oil and surfactant are considered as the key parameters. $C_{12}E_4$ and Tween20 are used as the surfactants and N-decane oil is added to the $NH_3/H_2O$ solution to make the binary nanoemulsion fluids. Binary nanoemulsion fluids are dispersed by the ultrasonic vibrator and the stirrer under specific conditions. The dispersion stability of binary nanoemulsion fluids for each oil concentrations is evaluated from the droplet size and Tyndall effect analysis. The absorption performance of binary nanoemulsion fluids is compared with the result of dispersion stability. In addition, it is found that the binary nanoemulsion fluid is a strong candidate as a new working fluid for absorption applications.

In this paper, we carried out separation of membrane and leaching of Pt and Ru using hydrochloric acid from MEA(membrane-electrode assembly) of fuel cell. In this method, these were separated from MEA of fuel cell using the distilled water, 10 vol.% butanol solution and 15 vol.% cationic surfactant(Koremul-LN-7) by dipping method without the dispersion of catalyst particles. And the leaching of Pt and Ru containing in the separated carbon paper catalysts has been studied by hydrochloric acid using $HNO_3$ or $H_2O_2$ as a oxidant. The leaching ratio of Pt and Ru were higher when $H_2O_2$ was used as a oxidant and the optimum conditions were obtained in 8M HCl, the amount of $H_2O_2$ 5M and 6 hours of leaching time at $90^{\circ}C$. In this condition, extraction of Pt and Ru were 98% and 71.5%, respectively.

To increase of surface hydrophilicity of polymeric thin films is an important approaching technique for introduction of self-cleaning and/or antifogging properties on the surfaces of those films. In general, hydrophilic surface can be produced by coating non ionic surfactants or by increasing surface energy. Various non-ionic surfactants, such as Tween, Span, and PEG-PPG block copolymers were selected for our experiments, because they are cheap and well soluble in toluene system as well as they contain several reactive hydroxy fuctional groups with coupling agents. Blending conditions influence the PET film surface hydrophilicities. However, the introduction of only these surfactants on the surface of PET films did not show the high durability of hydrophilic properties after washing with water. To improve the durability two types of coupling agents such as epoxide and diisocyanate were adopted. Contact angle of water on hydrophilically coated PET film surface with 6 wt% of isophrone diisocyanate(IPDI) containing coating solution was reached to $8.7^{\circ}$, which was an indirect evidence for very high surface hydrophilicity. A light(500 nm of wavelength) transmittance value of coated PET film was changed only from 87% to 85% with keeping a good transparent property. This film can be usable for self-cleaning film industries.

On the basis of theory of Bratsch's electronegativity equalization, the electronegativity equalization, the group electronegativities and the group partial charges for anionic and nonionic surfactants could be calculated by using Pauling's electronegativity parameters. From calculated results, we have investigated how CMC, hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, group partial charge, electronegativity of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, structural stability of micelle for anionic and nonionic surfactants are related. It was fround that CMC depends upon group partial charge and group electronegativity of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups of surfactants. For the anionic surfactants, negative partial charge in hydrophobic group is delocalized as the carbon number in hydrophobic group increase. So negative partial charge of hydrophilic group has very large electronegativity that is decreased. And CMC decreases as hydration ability of hydrophilic groups which decreases relatively. For the nonionic surfactant, partial charge and electronegativity in hydrophobic group increases with the increment of carbon number in hydrophobic group. And CMC decreases because electronegativity of hydrophilic group is decreased with the increment of electronegativity of hydrophilic group. However, with the increase of repeating units in hydrophilic group, the negative partial charge of hydrophilic group increases. So CMC increases because surfactants hydrate rather than form micelles in aqueous solution by the increase of hydration ability.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the behavior of ozone in DI water and the reaction with wafers during the semiconductor wet cleaning process. The solubility of ozone in DI water was not only dependent on the temperature but also directly proportional to the input concentration of ozone. The lower the initial ozone concentration and the temperature, the longer the half-life time of ozone. The reaction order of ozone in DI water was calculated to be around 1.5. The redox potential reached a saturation value in 5min and slightly increased as the input ozone concentrations increased. The completely hydrophilic surface was created in Imin when HF etched silicon wafer was cleaned in ozonized DI water containing higher ozone concentrations than 2ppm. Spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements showed that the chemical oxide formed by ozonized DI water was measured to be thicker than that by piranha solution. The wafers contaminated with a non-ionic surfactant were more effectively cleaned in ozonized DI water than in piranha and ozonized piranha solutions.

The preferential transport phenomena of neutral cation-anion moieties in neutral macrocycle-facilitated emulsion liquid membrane were described in this study. Emulsion membrane systems consisting of (1) aqueous source phase containing 0.001M $M(NO_3)_2$ (M = $Mn^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Sr^{2+}$, $Cd^{2+}$, $Pb^{2+}$) (2) a toluene membrane containing 0.02M ligand (DB$N_3O_2$, DB18C6) and the surfactant span 80 (sorbitan mono oleate) (3% v/v) and (3) aqueous receiving phase containing $Na_2S_2O_3$ or $NaNO_3$ were studied with respect to the disappearence of metal ions from the source phase as a function of time. Cation transport rates for various two component equimolar mixture of metal ions were determinded. $Cd^{2+}$ was transported higher rates than the other $M^{2+}$ in the mixture solution.

By using the existing caustic refining system with a minimum modification and by using a combination of various emulsifiers(0.2 % sodium hexametaphosphate. 0.05 % sodium lauryl sulfate and 0.001 % dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate), a new economical dewaxing process for sunflower seed oil was developed in order to reduce the cost of the dewaxing process. The results indicate that the waxes can be removed satisfactorily from the sunflower seed oil by emulsifying. batchwise or continuously, the oil with the aqueous surfactant solution, followed by centrifugation at ambient temperatures $(16{\sim}27^{\circ}C)$. Dewaxing loss for the batch process was satisfactory for both low wax-and high wax-crude oil, whereas dewaxing loss for the continuous process needs to be improved. The results indicate that initial level of wax content (low wax vs. high wax) did not affect the loss for batch process (0.82 % vs. 0.62 %), but affected the loss for continuous processes, regardless of the type of mixing mode (2.28 % and 5.68 % for low wax-and high wax-oil, respectively). It was also noted that the type of mixing mode (centactor vs. static mixer) for the continuous process affected the loss, regardless of the wax content (5.2 % and 2.8 % for contactor and static mixer, respectively).

CNT and permalloy composite plating was investigated. CNTs were pretreated prior to electroplating to disassemble the tangled CNT lumps. The ball milling as a physical pretreatment and the acid treatment as a chemical pretreatment were used. 10M nitric acid and 10 M sulfuric acid were used for the chemical pretreatment. Sulfuric acid was more effective than nitric acid to disassemble CNT lumps. To disperse CNT in the solution, surfactants were used. SDS, Triton X-100 and PAA were used for this purpose. More CNTs were incorporated in permalloy coating when PAA was used as a surfactant. The surface morphologies were observed with FESEM after electroplating CNT and permalloy. The current densities were varied from 10 to $80\;mA/cm^2$ and the concentration of PAA was fixed at 2 g/L. The optimum current density without surface cracks was $20\;mA/cm^2$. The crystallinity of the deposit was analyzed with XRD and the surface hardness was analyzed with Vicker's hardness tester. The corrosion behavior was analyzed with polarization plot. The physical properties of permalloy were not improved with CNT composite plating.

Simulated waste liquid containing 50 ppm cobalt ion was treated by adsorbing colloidal flotation using Fe(III) or Al(IlI) as flocclant and a sodium lamyl sulfate as a collector. Parameters such as pH, surfactant concentration, Fe(III) or Al(III) concentration, gas flow rate, etc., W앙e considered. The flotation with Fe(III) showed 99.8% removal efficiency of cohalt on the conditions of initial cobalt ion concentration 50 ppm, pH 9.5, gas flow rate 70 ml/min, and flotation time 30 min. When the waste solution, was treated with 35% $H_2O_2$ prior to adsorbing colloidal flotation, the optimal pH for removing cobalt shifted m to weak alkaline range and flotation could be applied in wider range of pH as compared to non-use of $H_2O_2$. Additional use of 20 ppm Al(III) after precipitation of 50 ppm Co(II) with 50 ppm Fe(III) made the optimal pH range for preferable flotation w wider. Foreign ions such as, $NO_3^-$, $SO_4^{2-}$, $Na^+$, $Ca^{2+}$ were adopted and their effects were observed. Of which sulfate ion was f found to be detrimental to removal of cob퍼t ion by flotation. Coprecipitation of Co ion with Fe(III) and Al(III) resulted in b better removal efficiency of cobalt IOn 피 the presence of sulfate ion.
