There has been increasing awareness on the importance of not only removal of organic materials but also sterilization of microbial cell in the drinking water purification research, so there has been many researches on that area. This study has been designed to analyze the effects of $TiO_{2}$ and ZnO coated on activated carbon on Escherichia coli. In this study, the sterilization power was analyzed by (1) variation of $TiO_{2}$ and ZnO concentration coated on activated carbon (2) variation of UV intensity. In addition, the kinetics between exposure time and sterilization velocity was viewed by the method of Chick. The results are as follows. 1. Survival ratio of E. coli decreased as time goes on in application of $TiO_{2}$, ZnO and $TiO_{2}{\cdot}ZnO$. In $TiO_{2}$ and ZnO, the effect increased upto certain concentration, but decreased there-after. In $TiO_{2}{\cdot}ZnO$, the effect of sterilization was in similar way among 3 combinations. 2. Survival ratio of E. coli decreased proportionately to an increase of light intensity in ZnO and $TiO_{2}{\cdit}ZnO$. In $TiO_{2}$, the survival ratio differed over extent of irradiation but the difference over the light intensity was not significant. 3. When Chick's law of sterilization was applied, m values of three concentrations of $TiO_{2}$ were 1.57,0.98, 1.96 respectively. M values of three concentration of ZnO were 1.10, 1.18,0. 11 respectively and those of three combination of $TiO_{2}{\cdot}ZnO$ were 1.17, 1.24, 1.74 respectively.

This study carried out a laboratory scale plasma reactor about the characteristics of chemically oxidative species (${\cdot}OH$, $H_2O_2$ and $O_3$) produced in dielectric barrier discharge plasma. It was studied the influence of various parameters such as gas type, $1^{st}$ voltage, oxygen flow rate, electric conductivity and pH of solution for the generation of the oxidant. $H_2O_2$ and $O_3$.) $H_2O_2$ and $O_3$ was measured by direct assay using absorption spectrophotometry. OH radical was measured indirectly by measuring the degradation of the RNO (N-Dimethyl-4-nitrosoaniline, indicator of the generation of OH radical). The experimental results showed that the effect of influent gases on RNO degradation was ranked in the following order: oxygen > air >> argon. The optimum $1^{st}$ voltage for RNO degradation were 90 V. As the increased of $1^{st}$ voltage, generated $H_2O_2$ and $O_3$ concentration were increased. The intensity of the UV light emitted from oxygen-plasma discharge was lower than that of the sun light. The generated hydrogen peroxide concentration and ozone concentration was not high. Therefore it is suggested that the main mechanism of oxidation of the oxygen-plasma process is OH radical. The conductivity of the solution did not affected the generation of oxidative species. The higher pH, the lower $H_2O_2$ and $O_3$ generation were observed. However, RNO degradation was not varied with the change of the solution pH.

Basic properties of new cement pastes based on the system $CaO-Al_2O_3-P_O_5-H_2O$were studied Phosphoric acid solutions and calcium dialuminate clinkers synthesized by the hydration-burning method were used for liquid and powder components of the paste, respectively Variation in the compositions of the paste was achieved by changing the liquid/powder ratio and the concentration of phosphoric acid solution. The hardening rate of the paste was so largely affected by the amount of phosphoric acid that hardening was inhibited with the low-concentrated solution but was explosively accelerated with the high-concentrated solution. The phosphoric acid solutions of concentration of 45~50% and the liquid/powder ratio of 0.5~1.5 were favoured for the high early-strength cement paste with the reasonable hardening rate and high strength. The binding phase of hardened paste was the dense amorphous gel of the system $CaO-Al_2O_3-P_O_5-H_2O$. in which the unreacted calcium dialuminate grains were embeded.

The electrical characteristics of $ZnO-Pr_6O_{11}-CoO-Cr_2O_3-Y_2O_3$(ZPCCY)-based varistors were investigated with $Y_2O_3$ content in the range of 0.0~4.0 mol%. As $Y_2O_3$ content is increased, the average grain size was markedly decreased in the range of 18.6~3.2 $\mu m$ and the density of the ceramic was decreased in the range of 5.53 ~3.74 $g/\textrm{cm}^3$. While, the varistor voltage was increased in the range of 39.4~748.1 V/mm and the nonlinear exponent was in the range of 4.5~51.2 with increasing $Y_2O_3$ content. The addition of $Y_2O_3$ greatly enhanced the nonlinear properties of varistors, compared with the varistor without $Y_2O_3$. In particular, the varistors with $Y_2O_3$content of 0.5 mol% exhibited the highest nonlinearity, in which the nonlinear exponent is 51.2 and the leakage current is 1.3 $\mu A$. The donor concentration and the density of interface states were decreased in the range of (4.19~0.14) $\times$10$^{18}$ /㎤ and (5.38~1.15)${\times}10^{18}/\textrm{cm}^3$, respectively, with increasing $Y_2O_3$ content.

A significant amount of nitrous oxide ($N_2O$), which is one of the serious greenhouse gases, is emitted from nitrification and denitrification of wastewater. Batch wastewater nitrifications with enriched nitrifiers were carried out under oxygen-limited condition with synthetic (without organic carbon) and real wastewater (with organic carbon) in order to find out the effect of ammonium concentration on $N_2O$ emission. Cumulated $N_2O$-N emission reached 3.0, 5.7, 6.2, and 13.5 mg from 0.4 l of the synthetic wastewater with 50, 100, 200, and 500 mg/l ${NH_4}^+$-N, respectively, and 1.0 mg from the real wastewater with 125 mg/l ${NH_4}^+$-N. The results indicate that $N_2O$ emission increased with ammonium concentration and the load. The ammonium removal rate and nitrite concentration also increased $N_2O$ emission. Comparative analysis of $N_2O$ emission from synthetic and real wastewaters revealed that wastewater nitrification under oxygen-limited condition emitted more $N_2O$ than that of heterotrophic denitrification. Summarizing the results, it can be concluded that denitrification by autotrophic nitrifiers contributes significantly to the $N_2O$ emission from wastewater nitrification.

The solubility of $TiO_2$ in $NaF-CaF_2-BaF_2$ ternary eutectic melts was investigated at the temperature range of $1025-1150^{\circ}C$. The least-squares equation was obtained from the relationship between the reciprocal temperature and the natural logarithm of the titanium concentration in the melts saturated with $TiO_2$. The corresponding partial molar enthalpy of dissolution of $TiO_2$ was found to be 188 kJ/mol. The titanium saturation concentration was 3.73 wt% at $1100^{\circ}C$. From the titanium concentration change with the added amount of $TiO_2$ at different holding time after a final stirring, it was found that not only complete dissolution of $TiO_2$ but also enough sedimentation of excessive $TiO_2$ should be guaranteed to obtain more reliable solubility data. The holding time of 10 h was found to be enough for the excessive $TiO_2$ particles to settle down in our experimental conditions. It is noteworthy that in case of adding $TiO_2$ in excess of its solubility, the $Ba_{1.12}(Ti_8O_{16})$ phase was observed at the lower and bottom of the solidified salt ingots.

The effect of electrode and deposition methods on non-linear interfacial resistive switching in HfO2 based $250{\times}250$ nm2 cross-point device was studied. HfO2 based device has the interfacial resistive switching properties of non-linearity and self-compliance current switching. The operating current in HfO2 based device was increased with negatively increasing the heat of formation energy in top electrode. Also, it was investigated that the operating current in HfO2 based device was changed with deposition methods of O3 reactant ALD, H2O reactant ALD and dc reactive sputtering, resulting the magnitude of the operating current and on/off ratio in order of HfO2 films deposited by dc reactive sputtering, H2O reactant ALD, and O3 reactant ALD. To investigate the effect of electrode and deposition methods on operating current of non-linear interfacial resistive switching in the cross-point device, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was measured. Through the analysis of O 1s spectra, non-lattice oxygen concentration, which is closely related to oxygen vacancies, was increased in order of Pt, TiN, and Ti top electrodes and in order of O3 reactant ALD, H2O reactant ALD, and O3 reactant ALD, and dc reactive sputtering deposition method. From all results, non-lattice oxygen concentration in ultra-thin HfO2 films play a crucial role in the operating current and memory states (LRS & HRS) in the non-linear interfacial resistive switching.

$BaTiO_3$ powders were prepared by sol-gel method from different concentration of KOH aqueous solution and Ba/Ti molar ratio. Particle shape, size and crystal structure of prepared $BaTiO_3$ powders were analyzed by SEM, XRD, and FT-IR. As the result of KOH concentration changing, spherical particles were obtained by condition more than 3 M and particle size decreased as concentration increasing. Different appearance showed between dried and sintered powders against changing of Ba/Ti molar ratio. In case of dried powders, the crystallinity decreased as molar ratio increasing. On the other hand, increased as molar ratio increasing in case of sintered powders.

Needle-like $\alpha-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ particles as precursor for magnetic recording media were prepared directly from amorphous ferric hydroxide in the aqueous solution by hydrothermal reaction. Ellipsoidal or rectangular $\alpha-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ particles were formed in the range of pH 10.75~11.75. The length and acicularity of $\alpha-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ particles were decreased gradually with increasing of citric acid concentration. The formation of needle-like $\alpha-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ particles was inhibited above citric acid concentration of $1.5{\times}10^{-4}\;mol$. We can synthesize $\alpha-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ particles with the most superior acicularity at $140^{\circ}C$ and can not expect a good needle-like particles above $220^{\circ}C$.
