In this paper, non-treated ACF (Activated Carbon Fiber) /$TiO_2$ and Zn-treated ACF/$TiO_2$ were prepared. The prepared composites were characterized in terms of their structural crystallinity, elemental identification and photocatalytic activity. XRD patterns of the composites showed that the non-treated ACF/$TiO_2$ composite contained only typical single and clear anatase forms while the Zn-treated ACF/$TiO_2$ contained a mixed anatase and rutile phase with a unique ZnO peak. SEM results show that the titanium complex particles are uniformly distributed on and around the fiber and that the titanium complex particles are more regularly distributed on and around the ACF surfaces upon an increase of the $ZnCl_2$ concentration. These EDX spectra show the presence of peaks from the C, O and Ti elements. Moreover, peaks of the Zn element were observed in the Zn-treated ACF/$TiO_2$ composites. The prominent photocatalytic activity of the Zn-treated ACF/$TiO_2$ can be attributed to the three different effects of photo-degradation: doping, absorptivity by an electron transfer, and adsorptivity of porous ACFs between the Zn-$TiO_2$ and Zn-ACF.

We report on the influence of heat treatments on the electrical properties of ZnO films grown by molecular-beam epitaxy. We note that the electrical resistance of the ZnO films is significantly changed by the heat treatments: the electrical resistance increases with the increase of ambient temperature, but above a critical temperature the resistance decreases with the increase of temperature, irrespective of ambient gases. On the other hand, it is found that the large amount of photocurrent is generated in the ZnO films, exposed to white sources: the photocurrent decreases with the increase of the obtained resistance, and the current increases with the decrease of the resistance. Also, it is shown that the X-ray diffraction linewidth of the ZnO films is significantly decreased by the heat treatments. These indicate that the increase/decrease of the electrical resistance is ascribed to the annihilation/formation of the residual donor-type defects in the ZnO films by the heat treatments. It is suggested that the increase of the electrical resistance is due to the annihilation of Zni-complex defects, while the decrease of the electrical resistance is due to the formation of VO-complex defects.

Nanotechnology has advanced at an extremely rapid pace over the past several years in numerous fields of research. However, the uptake of nanoparticles (NPs) into the body after administration through various routes may pose a risk to human health. In this study, we investigated the potential ocular toxicity of 20-nm, negatively- charged zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs in rats using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and histopathological assessment. Animals were divided into four groups as control group, ZnO NPs treatment group (500 mg/kg/day), control recovery group, and ZnO NPs treatment and recovery group. Ocular samples were prepared from animals treated for 90 days (10 males and 10 females, respectively) and from recovery animals (5 males and 5 females, respectively) sacrificed at 14 days after final treatment and were compared to age-matched control animals. Micro-CT analyses represented the deposition and distribution of foreign materials in the eyes of rats treated with ZnO NPs, whereas control animals showed no such findings. X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and energy dispersive spectrometry showed the intraocular foreign materials as zinc in treated rats, whereas control animals showed no zinc signal. Histopathological examination revealed the retinopathy in the eyes of rats treated with ZnO NPs. Neuronal nuclei expression was decreased in neurons of the ganglion cell layer of animals treated with ZnO NPs compared to the control group. Taken together, treatment with 20-nm, negatively-charged ZnO NPs increased retinopathy, associated with local distribution of them in ocular lesions.

전라북도 군산시 연안에 위치한 공업단지의 여러 제조업체에서 배출되는 매연, 분진의 영향으로 토양오염이 우려되는 지점을 선정하여 논 토양과 현미 중 중금속함량 및 오염원들과 현미 중 중금속함량간의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 공업단지 인근 지역 논 토양 중 전중금속 평균함량은 Pb 34.33, Cd 0.50, Cu 35.49, Zn 71.67 mg/kg이었으며 제조업체별, 거리별 논 토양 중금속의 분포상태를 조사한 결과 제조업체별, 거리별로 중금속함량이 일정한 경향을 보이지 않았다. 현미 중 중금속 함량은 Pb 1.74, Cd 0.07, Cu 3.54, Zn 16.53 mg/kg이었다. 군산 공업단지 인근 논 토양중 0.1N-HCl 가용성 중금속함량과 현미 중 중금속함량과의 상관관계를 보면 Pb가 1% 유의수준에서 정의 상관율$(r=0.6853^{**})$, Zn이 5% 유의수준에서 정의 상관$(r=0.5420^*)$을 보였으며, 토양 중 전 중금속함량과 수도체 현미 중 중금속함량과의 상관관계를 보면 Pb만이 1% 유의수준에서 정의 상관$(r=0.7131^{**})$을 보였다. 군산 공업단지 인근 논토양과 현미 중 중금속 함량은 공업단지에서 배출되는 매연이나 분진 중에 함유되어 있는 중금속 오염물질의 영향을 받아 부분적으로 오염이 진행되고 있으나 아직 오염을 우려할 수준에까지 이르지는 않았다.

A continuous process of persulfate oxidation and citric acid washing was investigated for ex-situ remediation of complex contaminated soil containing total recoverable petroleum hydrocarbons (TRPHs) and heavy metals (Cu, Pb, and Zn). The batch experiment results showed that TRPHs could be degraded by $Fe^{2+}$ activated persulfate oxidation and that heavy metals could be removed by washing with citric acid. For efficient remediation of the complex contaminated soil, two-stage and three-stage processes were evaluated. Removal efficiency of the two-stage process (persulfate oxidation - citric acid washing) was 83% for TRPHs and 49%, 53%, 24% for Cu, Zn, and Pb, respectively. To improve the removal efficiency, a three-stage process was also tested; case A) water washing - persulfate oxidation - citirc acid washing and case B) persulfate oxidation - citric acid washing (1) - citric acid washing (2). In case A, 63% of TRPHs, 73% of Cu, 60% of Zn, and 55% of Pb were removed, while the removal efficiencies of TRPHs, Cu, Pb, and Zn were 24%, 68%, 62%, and 59% in case B, respectively. The results indicated that case A was better than case B. The three-stage process was more effective than the two-stage process for the remediation of complex-contaminated soil in therms of overall removal efficiency.

본 연구의 목적은 불순물들을 다량 함유한 mill scale과 ferro-Mn을 정제과정을 거쳐 불순물들의 함량을 100 ppm 이하로 감소시킨 후 이들을 원료로 사용하여 Mn-Zn ferrite 원료분말을 기존의 고상반응법이 아닌 분무배소 방법에 의해 제조하는데 있다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 정제된 원료용액을 분무배소시킴으로써 고상의 미세한 복합산화물 분말을 형성시키며, 생성된 분말을 효율적으로 포집할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 유해 생성기체를 중화시킬 수 있는 분무배소로 system을 개발하였다. 또한 정제된 원료 용액을 본 연구에서 개발된 분무배소로 내로 투입시킴으로써 Mn-ferrite 및 $Fe_{2}O_{3}$와 $Mn_{2}O_{3}$의 복합산화물 분말을 제조하였으며, 이때 각각의 조건 하에서 생성된 분말들에 대해 조성, 비표면적 및 입도 분포 등의 물리적, 화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 분무 배소법에 의해 생성된 원료분말에 ZnO 및 기타 첨가제를 정해진 조성으로 혼합시킨 후 성형 및 엄격하게 제어된 소결과정에 의해 Mn-Zn ferrite core를 제조하였다. 또한 제조된 core에 대하여 손실값, 초투자율, 잔류자속밀도, 항자력 및 포화자속밀도의 자기적 특성을 측정하였으며, 이 결과들을 바탕으로 Mn-Zn ferrite 원료 분말을 제조하기 위한 분무배소방법의 타당성을 확인하였다.

The behavior of Ni-Zn ferrite/Mn-Zn ferrite composite electromagnetic absorber was investigated. The imaginary part of complex permeability of the composite was higher than that of either ferrite alone at all frequency range (50∼1400MHz) studied. The difference, which was pronounced in low frequency range, was reached the maximum value when the composite consisted of constituent ferrites with equal amount. Since the thickness in inversely proportional to the imaginary part of complex permeability for the ferrite absorber, it was possible to reduce the thickness of electromagnetic absorber by employing a composite of two different ferrites.
