Pollutants from industry, mining, agriculture, and other sources have contaminated sediments in many surface water bodies. Sediment contamination poses a severe threat to human health and environment because many toxic contaminants that are barely detectable in the water body can accumulate in sediment at much higher levels, the purpose of this study was to make convenient sampling method and optimal treatment of sediment for water quality improvement in reservoir or stream based on an evaluation of degree of contamination. Results for analysis of S-reservoir sediments were observed that copper concentration of almost areas were higher than the regulation of soil pollution (50 mg/1) for the riverbed. S-stream sediments were observed that copper, arsenic and TPH concentration of almost areas were exceeded soil pollution concerning levels for factorial areas. We used Remscreen(version. 1.0) program which is contaminated soil recovery program to select optimal treatment method of contaminant sediments. The result was shown in the order of Thermal Calcination > Excavation, Retrieval and Off-site Disposal(comparative less then contaminant) > Low Temperature Thermal Desorption + Solidification/Stabilization.

To screen molecular chaperones similar to small heat shock proteins (sHsps), but without ${\alpha}$-crystalline domain, heat-stable proteins from Schizosaccharomyces pombe were analyzed by 2-dimensional electrophoresis and matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Sixteen proteins were identified, and four recombinant proteins, including cofilin, NTF2, pyridoxin biosynthesis protein (Snz1) and Wos2 that has an ${\alpha}$-crystalline domain, were purified. Among these proteins, only Snz1 showed the anti-aggregation activity against thermal denaturation of citrate synthase. However, pre-heating of NTF2 and Wos2 at $70^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, efficiently prevented thermal aggregation of citrate synthase. These results indicate that Snz1 and NTF2 possess molecular chaperone activity similar to sHsps, even though there is no ${\alpha}$-crystalline domain in their sequences.

An Amberlite XAD-4 resin impregnated with di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid was prepared and its adsorption-desorption behaviors with Sr(II) ions under various conditions was examined. The resin was characterized by fourier transform infrared and thermal analysis techniques. The effects contact time, temperature, pH, interfering ions and eluants were studied. Results showed that adsorption of Sr (II) well fitted with pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The equilibrium adsorption data of Sr (II) on the impregnated resin were analyzed by Jossens, Weber-van Vliet, Redlich-Peterson and Fritz-Schlunder models to find out desirable equilibrium condition. Among them, the Fritz-Schlunder model best fitted to the experimental data. The maximum sorption capacity of impregnated resin amounted to 0.45 mg/ g at pH 8.0 and $20^{\circ}C$.

Al film(135.5 nm thick) with Pd film(39.6 nm thick) was made by thermal evaporation method. Electrical resistance change by hydrogen absorption and desorption was measured with four point measurement method. Even though Al film(135.5 nm thick) did not absorb any hydrogen at room temperature, Al/Pd film absorbed hydrogen at upto 640 torr pressure. Hydrogen absorption kinetics was monitored by measuring resistance change of the sample in the temperature range from $25^{\circ}C$ to $40^{\circ}C$. Absorption activation energy of Al/Pd film was about 10.7 and 17.7 kcal/mol H for 1st stage and last stage respectively at 1 torr hydrogen pressure. This activation values are bigger than that of Pd film, but are much less than that of Al film. This result indicates there is possibility that Al can be storage material for hydrogen by using Pd film evaporation on it.

A stainless-steel needle (Hamilton 90022, 22 gauge, 718-㎛ o.d., 413-㎛ i.d., 51-mm length, bevel tip) with an electrochemically coated polyaniline layer having a microbore tunnel was newly prepared as a device for headspace in-needle microextraction. For designing the needle, the polyaniline layer length was optimized, and to evaluate the extraction efficiency for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, numerous cyclic voltammetry scans were conducted. In addition, the optimization of the analytical conditions (including the adsorption and desorption parameters) and the validation of the analytical method were conducted. The optimized adsorption and desorption conditions were 40 ℃ for 30 min and 230 ℃ for 60 s, respectively. Finally, in this study, a polyaniline layer was electrochemically deposited on the in-needle surface, and it exhibited good thermal stability. The needle with the polyaniline layer was repeatedly used more than 200 times during this study. This method has some advantages in terms of the extraction time, extraction efficiency, and analysis cost.

When metallic alloys are reacted to hydrogen, heat transfer of storage tank effects hydrogen storage rate and capacity. If pulsating heat pipe are used to improve heat transfer efficiency, production of hydrogen storage tank can be more simple and economical. Experiment of heat pipe was conducted by varying working fluids and heat flux. According to supply heat flux, test indicate that R-22 and R-l42b were found lower temperature difference between evaporator and condenser than R-134a and Ethanol. Thermal resistances of R-22 and R-142b were also lower than others. Using R-142b as a working fluid, heat pipe type hydrogen storage tank is tested in absorption and desorption processes.

In this study, the thermal desorption-cryofocusing-gas chromatographic(TD-C-GC) method was developed for determination of volatile organic compounds(VOCs) in ambient air and was applied at the municipal solid waste landfill sites. On-column cryofocusing was possible only with a 100 ml dewars bottle in TD-C-GC method with a stainless steel column. However, high operating pressure was needed for purging VOCs from the absorbent trap, which was able to solve by pressure programming with a electric pressure controller. By using both pressure and temperature programming brought increasing of resolution power in on-column cryofocusing method, but the high pressure caused a leakage of sample tube with repeated use. A loop cryofocusing devise was also developed and compared with the direct on-column method. In loop cryofocusing method, VOCs were concentrated on a 0.8mm i.d. loop which is located between the injector and separation column by using liquid nitrogen. In order to purge VOCs from the absorbent trap, only 0.4 psi of pressure was need in the loop cryofocusing method. Dual detection system was applied for the analysis of VOCs; a FID was used for hydrocarbons and a FPD was used for sulfur-containing compounds. Qualitative analysis was done by on-column cryofocusing GC-MS system. Among the large number of VOCs, toluene was the most abundant. Hydrogen sulfide, dimethyl sulfide, carbon disulfide, dimethyl disulfide and methyl propyl disulfide were detected at landfill site by FPD.

For the purpose of suggesting the thermal resistant catalyst for automobile emission control, various catalysts, Pd-WO3 and PD-La2O3 systems, were charactrized before and after thermal aging. It was found that La2O3 formed amorphous surface compound on the support by strong metal-support interaction(SMSI). And by Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD) expeiment, it was found that the distribution of acid site which is strong acid sites by adding the promoters. After thermal aging, it was observed that the acidity of Pd-WO3 system was decreased largely because of losing acid site by metal vaporization. On the other hand, there was pretty small change in the properties of matter of Pd-La2O3 system. Therefore, it could be considered that La2O3 formed heat resisting amorphous surface compound on the support by SMSI.

The chemical composition of the black Cr solar selective coatings electrodeposited were investigated for property analysis by using a XPS(X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) before and after annealing in air at $300^{\circ}C{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ for 120 hours. Black Cr selective coating exposed by solar radiation for 5 months was compared with annealed sample. In addition, The Cu solar selective coatings were prepared by thermal oxidation method for low temperature application. The samples obtained were characterized by using the optical reflectance measurements by using a spectrometer. Optical properties of oxidized Cu solar coatings were solar absorptance $({\alpha}){\simeq}0.62$ and thermal emittance $({\epsilon}){\simeq}0.41(100^{\circ}C)$. In the as-prepared Cr black selective coating, the surface of the coating was found to have Cr hydroxide and Cr. The Cr hydroxide of the major component was converted to $Cr_2O_3$ or $CrO_3$ form after annealing at $500^{\circ}C$ with the desorption of water molecules. The black Cr selective coating was degraded significantly at temperature of $500^{\circ}C$. The main optical degradation modes of this coating were diffusion of Cu substrate materials.

In this research, the change of coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of graphite/epoxy composite laminate under space environment was measured using fiber optic sensors. Two fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors have been adopted for the simultaneous measurement of thermal strain and temperature. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) conditions with high vacuum, ultraviolet and thermal cycling environments were simulated in a thermal vacuum chamber. As a pre-test, a FBG temperature sensor was calibrated and a FBG strain sensor was verified through the comparison with the electric strain gauge (ESG) attached on an aluminun specimen at high and low temperature respectively. The change of the CTE in a composite laminate exposed to space environment was measured for intervals of aging cycles in real time. As a whole, there was no abrupt change of the CTE after 1000 aging cycles. After aging, however, the CTE decreased a Little all over the test temperature range. These changes are caused by outgassing, moisture desorption, matrix cracking etc.
