Nanosized TiO2 powders were synthesized using the chemical vapor conduensation (CVC) process with various precursor feeding rates (0.37 and 0.752 ml/min) and oxygen flow rates(1-2slm) conditions and powder characteristics were investigated in terms of formation of nanosized powder varying with the above processing conditions. For this study the main thermodynamic and fluid dynamic factors -supersaturation ratio collision frequency and residence time-were theoretically established and compared to the characteristics of formed TiO2 powder. The loosely combined anatase phase powders (including less than 3%of rutile phase) having 20-30nm crystallite size were obtained at overall conditions. The particle size and th degree of agglomeration for a precursor flow rate of 0.376 ml/min turn out to be smaller than for a flow rate of 0.742ml/min. And the decreasing of particles size and particle size distribution were observed with increasing oxygen flow rate as the residence time and collision frequency were reduced by increasing oxygen flow rate,. It appears that further scrutiny is needed to elucidate the influence of the individual thermodynamic and kinetic parameters mdependently.

TiOCl$_2$수용액과 암모니아수의 반응으로부터 얻은 titanium hydroxide 침전물에 대해 각각 NaOH 또한 HCl 처리를 통하여 비교적 낮은 온도에서 결정성이 우수하고, 높은 비표면적을 갖는 결정형 TiO$_2$나노분말을 제조하였다. 저온처리 조건을 변화시킴으로써 TiO$_2$분말의 결정상과 입자 모양을 제어할 수 있었는데, NaOH 처리한 다음 산처리한 분말에는 아나타제와 루틸상이 함께 형성되었으며 구형입자와 긴 스핀들 모양의 입자들로 이루어져 있었고, 비등수 처리 시에는 열처리를 통해 아나타제상의 구형 입자들을 얻을 수 있었다. Titanium hydroxide를 0.1M과 0.5M에 산처리한 분말은 모두 아나타제상을 나타내었는데, 0.1M의 분말은 구형입자로 이루어져 있었고, 0.5M의 경우는 대부분 구형입자들로 이루어져 있었지만 스핀들 모양의 입자들도 소량 관찰되었으며, 2M에 산처리한 분말은 루틸상으로서 모두 스핀들 모양의 입자들로 이루어져 있었고, 제조된 분말의 비표면적은 약 240-250$m^2$/g을 나타내었다.

Photocatalytic properties of $TiO_2$ nanopowders has been received much attention due to their high potentials for environmental applications such as remediation of polluted environments. The $TiO_2$ nanopowders doped with metal or non-metal elements have been synthesized by variety methods such as flame method, chemical vapor synthesis, sol-gel, ion implantation, which affect a doping behavior in different ways resulting in different surface characteristics, leading to different photocatalytic activity. In addition to an effect of synthesis methods, the photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$ nanopowders can be improved by subsequent heat-treatments. In this study, to obtain a highly efficient photocatalyst, we synthesized $TiO_2$ nanopowders doped with tungsten by the chemical vapor synthesis method (CVS) and determined their physical properties and photocatalytic activity, together with subsequent post-treatment in the range of $300^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$.

The reaction morphology was investigated depending on the amounts of HCl and $NH_4OH$, and the effect of pH was studied on the preparation of $TiO_2$ nanopowders. $TiO_2$ nanopowder was prepared using a titanium tetra-isopropoxide. Subsequently, the effect of pH on the characteristics of the prepared $TiO_2$ nanopowder was evaluated depending on the amounts of the catalysts such as HCl and $NH_4OH$. The morphology and phase transformation of $TiO_2$ powder prepared by hydrolysis of titanium tetra-isopropoxide were strongly influenced by the presence of the catalysts. In the case of using $NH_4OH$, the morphology of the $TiO_2$ powder exhibited powder form. For the HCl catalyst, it showed bulk or granule form. The phase transformations of amorphous $Ti(OH)_4$ to anatase $TiO_2$ and the anatase to rutile was significantly influenced by the kind and amount of thecatalysts.

In this study photoadsorption propreties of Ag ion in AgNO$_3$ solution by TiO$_2$nanopowder synthesized by homogeneous precipitation process at low temperature were investigated. It was found that the photocatalytic redliction in AgNO$_3$solution was occurred by TiO$_2$nanopowder even under th sun light irradiation, although the reduction of Ag ions was slow with th small adsorption of 9.32 ppm. Notably the Ag adsorption was promoted in th dark condition probably owing to the chestnut bur shape of TiO$_2$ nanopowder itself. In the application of UV the Ag ions were completely adsorbed within 120 min, showing more significant photocatalytic reaction. The measured adsorption reaction rate and adsorption equilibrium rate constants were 0.0004 g/min and 1494.20(120 $m^2$/g), respectively.

$BaTiO_3$는 perovskite 구조를 가지는 대표적인 강유전체 재료로서 MLCC (Multi Layer Ceramic Capacitor), PTC thermistor 등에 널리 사용되어지고 있으며, 그 특성을 향상시키기 위하여 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 현제 $BaTiO_3$ 분말 제조의 대표적인 합성법으로는 하소와 분쇄공정이 없는 수열합성법이 대표적이나, 나노 사이즈로 제작시 $BaTiO_3$는 마이크로 크기와 달리 입방정상으로 우세한 상태로 존재한다. 이는 제조과정 중의 hydroxyl defect의 영향과 나노 분말의 표면에너지 증가 때문이라고 보고된다. 따라서 본 연구는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 일반적인 세라믹 제조 방법인 고상반응법을 이용한 나노 사이즈의 $BaTiO_3$ 제조를 위한 최적의 공정 조건을 확립하기 위하여 본 연구를 진행하였다. 조성은 $BaTiO_3$와 반응온도를 낮추기 위한 anatase의 $TiO_2$를 사용하였고, $BaCO_3/TiO_2$ 의 조성비 (1. 1.01, 1.02, 1.03)를 제어하여 혼합한 후, 24h ball-mill 하여 하소 온도 ($860^{\circ}C{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$) 변화에 따른 입자 사이즈와 입도 분포를 측정하였다. 제조된 $BaTiO_3$분말의 결정 구조 분석을 위하여 XRD (X-ray diffraction) 분석을 수행 하였는데, 분석 결과로부터 제조된 분말들이 정방정 (tetragonal)의 perovskite구조를 갖고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 분말의 미세구조 확인을 위하여 SEM (scanning electron microscope) 관찰을 수행하였는데, 나노 사이즈의 구형 분말을 얻을 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Porous $TiO_2$ nanostructured particles containing both mesopores and macropores were fabricated by utilizing an aerosol templating method from two kinds of starting materials (colloidal mixture of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles and PS particles, and that of TTIP solution and PS particles). The effects of mixing ratio of PS to $TiO_2$ and reactor temperature on the particle properties were investigated. When $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were used as starting materials, the increase of macropores number was observed by SEM and the specific surface area and total pore volume were increased from $31.6m^2/g$ to $39.1m^2/g$ and $0.068cm^3/g$ to $0.089cm^3/g$, respectively, by increasing the weight mixing ratio of $PS/TiO_2$ from 0.79 to 1.31. When TTIP was used as precursor, the specific surface area and mesopore volume of particles prepared at same condition decreased by 67% and 75%, respectively.

Nanocomposite formation of metal-metal oxide systems by mechanical alloying (MA) has been investigated at room temperature. The systems we chose are the $Fe_3O_4$-M (M = AI, Ti), where pure metals are used as reducing agent. It is found that $Fe/Al_2O_3$ and $Fe/TiO_2$ nanocomposite powders in which $Al_2O_3$ and $TiO_2$ are dispersed in ${\alpha}$-Fe matrix with nano-sized grains are obtained by MA of $Fe_3O_4$ with Al and Ti for 25 and 75 hours, respectively. It is suggested that the shorter MA time for the nanocomposite formation in $Fe/Al_2O_3$ is due to a large negative heat associated with the chemical reduction of magnetite by aluminum. X-ray diffraction results show that the average grain size of ${\alpha}$-Fe in $Fe/TiO_2$ nanocomposite powders is in the range of 30 nm. The change in magnetic properties also reflects the details of the solid-state reduction of magnetite by pure metals during MA.
