The catalytic activity of $Nd_{1-x}Sr_xCoO_{3-y}$, $0{\leq}x{\leq}0.75$ and $0.001{\leq}y{\leq}0.103$, on the oxidation of carbon monoxide has been investigated from the structure analyses of the catalysts by X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy and the measurements of the oxidation and adsorption rates of carbon monoxide. The catalytic activity is found to be correlated with Sr substitution (x) and nonstoichiometry (y). The oxidation power of carbon monoxide increases continuously with increasing Sr substitution without oxygen, but increases with Sr substitution up to x = 0.25 and then is almost constant at larger x values up to x = 0.75 with oxygen. This change of catalytic activity is explained by the oxidation-reduction properties of the catalyst due to the variation of nonstoichiometry.

We have studied the oxidatio nrte of $Si_{1-x}Ge_{x}$ epitaxial layer grown by MBE(molecular beam epitaxy). Oxidation were performed at 700.deg. C, 800.deg. C, 900.deg. C, and 1000.deg. C. After the oxidation, the results of AES(auger electron spectroscopy) showed that Ge was completely rejected out of the oxide and pile up at $SiO_{2}/$Si_{1-x}Ge_{x}$ interface. It is shown that the presence of Ge at the $SiO_{2}$/$Si_{1-x}Ge_{x}$ interface changes the dry oxidation rate. The dry oxidation rate was equal to that of pure Si regardless of Ge mole fraction at 700.deg. C and 800.deg.C, while it was decreased at both 900.deg. C and 1000.deg.C as the Ge mole fraction was increased. The ry oxidation rates were reduced for heavy Ge concentration, and large oxidation time. In the parabolic growth region of $Si_{1-x}Ge_{x}$ oxidation, The parabolic rate constant are decreased due to the presence of Ge-rich layer. After the longer oxidation at the 1000.deg.C, AES showed that Ge peak distribution at the $SiO_{2}$/$Si_{1-x}Ge_{x}$ interface reduced by interdiffusion of silicon and germanium.

(100) Si and 4$^{\circ}$off (100) Si were oxidized in dry oxygen, and the differences in thermal oxidation behavior and electrical characteristics between two specimens were investigated. Ellipsometer measurements of the oxide thickness produced by oxidation in dry oxygen from 1000 to 120$0^{\circ}C$ showed that the oxidation rates of the 5$^{\circ}$ off (100) Si were more rapid than those of the (100) Si and the differences between them decreased as the oxidation temperature increased. The activation energies based on the parabolic rate constant, B for (100) and 4$^{\circ}$off (100) Si were 25.8, 28.6 kcal/mol and those on the linear rate constant, B/A were 56.8, 54.9 kcal/mol, respectively. Variation of C-V characteristics with the oxidation temperature showed that the flat band voltages were shifted positively and surface state charge densities decreased as the oxidation temperature increased, and the surface state charge density of the 4$^{\circ}$off (100) Si was lower than that of the (100) Si. Also considerable decrease in the density of oxidation induced stacking faults (OSF) for the 4$^{\circ}$off (100) Si was observed through optical microscopy after preferentially etching off the oxide layer.

Brazing of Fe-Cr-Al alloy was carried out at $1200^{\circ}C$ in vacuum furnace using nickel-based filler metals : BNi-5 powder(Ni-Cr-Si-Fe base alloy} and MBF-50 foil (Ni-Cr-Si-B). The effect of boron content on the stability of oxide scale on the brazed joint was investigated by means of cyclic oxidation test performed at $1050^{\circ}C$ and $1200^{\circ}C$. Apparently, the joints brazed with MBF-50 containing boron showed relatively stable oxidation rates compared to boron-free BNi-5 at both temperatures. However, it was considered that the slower weight loss of MBF-50 brazed specimen wasn’t resulted from the low oxidation rate but from the spallation of oxide layer. The oxide layer consisted of thick spinel oxide on the surface and $Al_2 O_3$ internal oxide layer along the interface between mother alloy and braze, the mother alloy was also eroded seriously by the formation of spinel oxides such as $FeCr_2 O_4$ and $NiCr_2 O_4$ on the surface, likely to be induced by the change of oxide forming mechanism due to diffusion of boron from the braze. On the contrary, the joint brazed with BNi-5 showed the good oxidation resistance during the cyclic oxidation test. It seems that the oxidation can be retarded by the formation of stable $Al_2 O_3$ layer at the surface.

시화호 인근 연안 퇴적물에서 유기물 분해 특성, 퇴적물로부터의 영양염 용출 및 주요 조절요인을 파악하기 위해 공극수와 퇴적물 내 지화학 성분, 혐기성 유기물 분해율, 황산염 환원율 및 저층 영양염 용출률을 측정하였다. 연구정점은 소래포구 인근 정점(E0), 송도갯벌 정점(E1), 오이도 선착장 부근 정점(E3), 시화 조력발전소 수문 앞 정점(E5)으로 선정하였다. 유기탄소와 공극수 내 암모니아, 인산염 농도는 정점 E0에서 가장 높게 나타났으며, 외측 해역(정점 E1, E3, E5)으로 갈수록 점진적으로 감소하였다. 혐기성 유기물 분해율과 황산염 환원율은 정점 E0에서 각각 260.6 mmol C m^-2 d^-1와 91.4 mmol S m^-2 d^-1로 외측 정점들보다 각각 4-9배, 6-54배 높게 나타났다. 혐기성 유기물 분해에서 황산염 환원이 차지하는 비율은 정점 E3, E5에서 11-23%로 미미한 것으로 나타났으나, 정점 E0, E1에서는 47-70%로 황산염 환원에 의해 혐기성 유기물 분해가 주도되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 혐기성 유기물 분해율과 황산염 환원율은 용존 유기탄소와 상관성이 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다(r² = 0.795, 0.777). 한편, 정점 E0, E1, E3에서 퇴적물로부터 용출된 무기질소와 무기인은 각각 일차생산자가 요구하는 무기질소와 무기인의 120-510%와 26-178%를 공급하는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과들은, 시화호 인근 연안 퇴적물 내 유기물 분해는 이용 가능한 용존 유기탄소의 공급에 의해 조절되고 있으며, 과도한 유기물 분해는 저층 영양염 용출을 촉진시켜 부영양화를 야기할 수 있음을 의미한다.

Anisotropic mesophase carbon fiber(AMCFs) was exposed to isothermal oxidation in air and $CO_2$atmosphere, and burn-off rates have measured by TGA. The microstructure changes of oxidized carbon fibers, were observed by SEM. It was observed that oxidation rate in the air is over 100 times faster than that in $CO_2$atmosphere. The activation energy obtained in air was about 43.4 Kcal/mole in the temperature range of $600∼800^{\circ}C$, and in $CO_2$was about 55.2 Kcal/mole in the temperature range of $950∼1200^{\circ}C$. Therefore, the oxidation reaction in both atmospheres was under chemical reaction regime in the above temperature ranges. It was shown that the oxidation of the AMCFs is initiated at the end of fibers at high temperature($1100^{\circ}C$) with developing the large pores, and the small pores are developed on the fiber surface at low temperature($900^{\circ}C$). In conclusion, the oxidation of the AMCFs is progressed through the imperfection.

Lipids play many structural and metabolic roles, and dietary fat has great impact on metabolism and health. Fatty acid oxidation rate is dependent on tissue types. However there has been no report on the relationship between the rate of fatty acid oxidation and carnitine transport system in outer mitochondrial membrane of many tissues. In this study, the rate of fatty acid oxidation and carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) I activity in the carnitine transport system were measured to understand the metabolic characteristics of fatty acid in various tissues. Palmitic acid oxidation rate and CPT I activity in various tissues were measured. Tissues were obtained from the white and red skeletal muscles, heart, liver, kidney and brain of rats. The highest lipid oxidation rate was demonstrated in the cardiac muscle, and the lowest oxidation rate was in brain. Red gastrocnemius muscle followed to the cardiac muscle. Lipid oxidation rates of kidney, white gastrocnemius muscle and liver were similar, ranging from 101 to 126 DPM/mg/hr. CPT I activity in the cardiac muscle was the highest, red gastrocnemius muscle followed by liver. Brain tissue showed the lowest CPT I activity as well as lipid oxidation rate, although the values were not significantly different from those of kidney and white gastrocnemius muscle. Therefore, lipid oxidation rate was highly (p＜0.001) related to CPT I activity. Lipid oxidation rate is variable, depending on tissue types, and is highly (p＜0.001) related to CPT I activity. CPT I activity may be a good marker to indicate lipid oxidation capacity in various tissues.

The purpose of this study was to measure and investigate the acute effects of two fatty meals (high-SFA & high-PUFA) on post-prandial thermic effect, substrate oxidation, and satiety. Eight healthy adults (four males and four females) aged 19-22 years were assigned to consume two isocaloric meals: high in saturated fatty acids from butter and high in polyunsaturated fatty acids from sesame oil. Indirect calorimetry was used to measure resting energy expenditure (REE), post-prandial energy expenditure for five hours, and substrate oxidation. Satiety of the subjects after meals was estimated by using visual analogue scales (VAS). Five hours thermic effect of food (TEF) was not significantly different between butter meal (6.5% of energy intake) and sesame oil meal (7.3% of energy intake), but, the TEF of butter meal reached the peak point at 150 min and decreased more rapidly arriving to REE in 270 min. On the other hand, TEF of sesame oil meal reached the peak at 90 min and decreased slower than butter meal (still higher than REE at 300 min). No significant differences in substrate oxidation rates were found between the two meals. Post-prandial fat oxidation rates increased significantly after the consumption of both butter and sesame oil meal than that of the pre-prandial state. Satiety values (hunger, fullness, and appetite) were similar among the meals, but recovery of hunger and fullness to the pre-prandial state was faster in butter meal than that of the sesame oil meal.

This study was performed to test the applicability of the ozone/hydroxy radical reaction system, which applied advanced oxidation processes, to remove total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) from the fine soil in washing water of the soil washing process. Removal efficiency was tested on 40 L of washing water in a pilot reaction tank. Fine soil contaminated with $800mg\;kg^{-1}$ TPH was prepared at 5% and 10% suspended solids. Testing conditions included ozone/hydroxy radical flow rates of 40, 80, and $120L\;min^{-1}$, and processing time of 2 to 12 hours. The removal efficiency of petroleum hydrocarbon from water waster by ozone/hydroxy radical was increased with higher flow rates and lower percentages of suspended solids. Optimal efficiency was achieved at $80L\;min^{-1}$ flow rate for 4 hours for the 5% suspended solids, and $120L\;min^{-1}$ for 6 hours for the 10% suspended solids. These results verified the efficiency of hydroxy radical in removing TPH and the applicability of the ozone/hydroxy radical reaction system in the field.

Fenton process is one of the most effective advanced oxidation processes for the removal of pollutants from wastewater. In this study, while ferrous iron was used in conventional Fenton process (CFP); nano-sized iron(II, III) oxide was experienced in modified Fenton process (MFP) as a new catalyst alternative. In order to enhance their oxidation efficiencies, both CFP and MFP were combined with ultrasonication at 53 kHz fixed frequency. Thus, the influences of both catalyst iron species and ultrasonication on color and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removals from synthetic textile wastewater including Maxilon Red GRL 200% dyestuff were investigated experimentally. While the COD and color removal rates were found as 72.5% and 69.7% via CFP; they were 87% and 75.8% by ultrasonicated CFP, respectively. The color and COD removals were 40.6% and 64.8% via MFP, and 49.9 and 73.1% by ultrasonicated MFP, respectively. Therefore, it was found that the simultaneously usage of ultrasonication with CFP and MFP was improved the COD and color removal efficiencies and oxidation rates even at lower H₂O₂ dosages, compared to individual CFP and MFP. Moreover, the color and COD removal kinetics were also modelled mathematically and compared in the study.
