This study was carried out to investigate the effects of ethanol extracts on lipid oxidation of oil emulsion. The results are as follows; The scavenging ability of plant extracts for hydroxyl radical was found, and plant extracts played an important role as a strong chelating agents to bind iron if Fe2+ ion exists in oil emulsion. Pinus densiflora(PD), Lithospermum erythrorhizon(LE) and PD＋LE acted as strong chelating agents to bind iron to reduce lipid oxidation in oil emulsion. The content of Fe2+ ion in ethanol extracts from LE and PD＋LE were significantly higher(p<0.05) than that of ethanol extracts from PD. The content of total iron has same tendency. The ascorbic acid content of PD(16.36ppm) was slightly higher than those of LE(13.08ppm). Electron donating ability of PD was significantly higher(p<0.05) than those of LE. However, the superoxide(SOD) like ability of LE showed a little higher than those of LE and PD＋LE, which means the strong antioxidant activity of LE. The nitrite scavenging effects were dependent on pH value, however, they decreased as pH value increased. Especially, they almost didn't show the nitrite scavenging effect in pH 6.0. In conclusion, the PD and LE extracts may be used as natural antioxidant sources to reduce lipid oxidation in oil emulsion.

In the treatment of Cu - and CN - contained wastewater by using Fenton oxidation-flocculation-precipitation, the optimal removal efficiencies of the cyanide and copper were investigated according to pH, reaction time, the molar ratio of cyanide and hydrogen peroxide and the mass ratio of ferrous sulfate and hydrogen peroxide for Fenton oxidation, and pH for hydroxide precipitation, respectively. As a result, the $CN^-$ removal efficiency in our experimental wastewater by the Fenton oxidation was 81.2%~99% at its optimal conditions of pH ranging from 3 to 5 and reaction time of 30 minutes. And the optimal dosage of hydrogen peroxide and ferrous sulfate was 214, $428mg/{\ell}$, 107, $161mg/{\ell}$, 214, $214mg/{\ell}$ and 520, $500mg/{\ell}$, respectively when the molar ratio of $Cu^{2+}$:CN is 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:10, and was 900, $1050mg/{\ell}$ when the molar ratio of $Cu^+$: CN is 1:10. When the copper was precipitated by sodium hydroxide after Fenton oxidation, the copper removal efficiency in the wastewater at pH 7 was 98.92%, 98.52%, 92.46%, 90.6% and 95%, respectively.

Failure mechanisms were investigated for the two layer thermal barrier coatings consisting of NiCrAlY bond coat and $ZrO_2-8wt.\% Y_{2}O_3$ ceramic coating during cyclic oxidation. $Al_{2}O_3$ developed at the ceramic coating/bond coat interface first, followed by the Cr/Ni rich oxides such as $NiCr_{2}O_4 and Ni(Al,Cr)_{2}O_4$ during cyclic oxidation It was observed that the spalling of ceramic coatings took place primarily within the NiCrAlY bond coat oxidation products or at the interface between the bond coat oxidation products and zirconia based ceramic coating or the bond coat. It was also observed that the fracture within these oxidation products occurred with the formation of $Ni(Cr,Al)_{2}O_4$ spinel or Cr/Ni rich oxides. It was therefore concluded that the formation of these oxides was a life-limiting event for the thermal barrier coatings.

Oxidation behavior of hot-pressed silicon nitride ceramics with various sintering additives has been investigated. The weight gain of each specimens has shown in the range of 0.11 mg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ ~3.4 mg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 140$0^{\circ}C$ for 192 h and eleven compositions have shown good oxidation resistance with the weight gain below 0.5 mg/$\textrm{cm}^2$. The oxidation rate has been shown to obey the parabolic rate law and the oxidized surface has consisted of $\alpha$-cristobalite and M2Si2O7 or MSiO3 (M=rare earth or transition metals) phase. The oxidation rate of each specimens has related to the eutectic temperature between additive oxide and SiO2, and ionic radius of additive oxides, respectively. From the above results, it could be concluded that the oxidation behavior of hot pressed silicon nitride is dominated by the high temperature properties of grain boundary glassy phase and the high temperature properties of grain boundary glassy phase are affected by the ionic radius of additive oxides.

[ $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}Co_{1-x}Cu_xO_{3-{\alpha}}$ ](X=0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5) perovskites were prepared by coprecipitation method at pH 7 or pH 11 and its catalytic activity of selective CO oxidation was investigated. The characteristics of these catalysts were analyzed by $N_2$ adsorption, X-ray diffraction(XRD), SEM, $O_2$-temperature programmed desorption(TPD). The pH value at a preparation step made effect on particle morphology. The smaller particle was obtained with a condition of pH 7. The better catalytic activity was observed using catalysts prepared at pH 7 than pH 11. The maximum CO conversion of 98% was observed over $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}Co_{0.7}Cu_{0.3}O_{3-{\alpha}}$ at $320^{\circ}C$. Below $200^{\circ}C$, the most active catalyst was $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}Co_{0.9}Cu_{0.1}O_{3-{\alpha}}$, of which conversion was 92% at $200^{\circ}C$. By the substitution of Cu, the evolution of ${\alpha}$-oxygen was remarkably enhanced regardless of pH value at preparation step according to $O_2$-TPD. Among the different ${\alpha}$-oxygen species, the oxygen species evolved between $400^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$, gave the better catalytic performance for selective CO oxidation including $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}CoO_3$ in which Cu was absent.

The degradation efficiency of chlorophenolic compounds in $TiO_2/H_2O_2$ combined system was compared with that of in $TiO_2$ sole system. As a result, the addition of hydrogen peroxide in photocatalytic oxidation reaction greatly enhanced the degradation efficiency of chlorophenolic compounds due to the availability of the hydroxyl radical formed on the $TiO_2$ surface. The hydrogen peroxide under UV illumination produces hydroxyl radicals that appear to be another source of hydroxyl radical formation. These results indicated the $TiO_2/H_2O_2$ combined system shows higher degradation efficiency than the $TiO_2$ sole system. Compared to another oxidation reaction, hydrogen peroxide assisted photocatalytic oxidation is more promising in practical aspect.

The electrical energy consumption (EEC) in removal of NO by a $UV/H_2O_2$ oxidation process was introduced and related to removal efficiency of this gas. The absorption-reaction of NO was conducted in a bubble column reactor in the presence of $SO_2$. The variation in NO removal efficiency was investigated for various process parameters including NO and $SO_2$ inlet concentrations, initial concentration of $H_2O_2$ solution and gas flow rate. EEC values were obtained in these different conditions. The removal efficiency was increased from about 22% to 54.7% when $H_2O_2$ concentration increased from 0.1 to 1.5 M, while EEC decreased by about 70%. However, further increase in $H_2O_2$ concentration, from 1.5 to 2, had no significant effect on NO absorption and EEC. An increase in NO inlet concentration, from 200 to 500 ppm, decreased its removal efficiency by about 10%. However, EEC increased from $2.9{\times}10^{-2}$ to $3.9{\times}10^{-2}kWh/m^3$. Results also revealed that the presence of $SO_2$ had negative effect on NO removal percentage and EEC values. Some experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of $H_2O_2$ solution pH. The changing of pH of oxidation-absorption medium in the ranges between 3 to 10, had positive and negative effects on removal efficiency depending on pH value.

Sulfur containing compounds in garlic have all be used as one of the traditional folk medicine as well as food source. The present study was performed to investigate the antioxidative compounds of 1-methyl-1-cysteine, dimethyl trisulfide and 2-vinyl-4H-1,3-dithiin. The antioxidative activity of sulfur containing compounds on human LDL was investigated by monitoring a thiobarbituric acid substances (TBARS). Sulfur containing compounds inhibited on oxidation of LDL mediated by $CuSO_4$ and macrophages in dose dependent manner with almost completely inhibition at $80{\mu}g/ml$. Antioxidant activities of sulfur containing compounds on LDL oxidation were 2-vinyl-4H-1,3-dithiin, 1-methyl-1-cysteine, and dimethyl trisulfide in order. Inhibitory effects of sulfur containing compounds on oxidation of LDL mediated by $CuSO_4$ and macrophages were degraded at much greater rate than native LDL, the LDL oxidation process was arrested as shown by the lower conjugated dienes formation at the concentration of $60{\mu}g/ml$. Sulfur containing compounds in garlic revealed at high antioxidative activity at low physiological concentration for human LDL oxidation in vitro specially, it was indicated that the antioxidative activity of 3-viny l-4H-1,2-dithiin was higher than that of the other sulfur containing compounds.
