In this study, Selective Catalytic Reduction on Diesel Particulate Filter (SDPF) after-treatment system was introduced to simultaneously remove NO_x and Particulate Matters (PM) emitted from trucks and special cargo vehicles using old engine. First, in order to select an Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst for SDPF, the de-NO_x performance of V/TiO₂ and Cu-Zeolite catalysts were compared, and the SCR catalyst characteristics were analyzed through Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and NH3-TPD (Temperature Programmed Desorption). From the activity test results, the Cu-zeolite catalyst showed the best thermal stability. For optimal coating of SDPF, slurry was prepared according to the target particle size. From the coating stability and back pressure test results of SDPF according to the amount of SCR coating, As a result of comparing coating stability, back pressure, and de-NOx performance by producing A, B, and C samples for each loading amount of the SDPF catalyst, the best results were found in the B sample. The engine dynamometer test was conducted for the optimal SDPF after-treatment system, and the test results satisfied Eu-5 regulations.

Ceramic tiles, which are widely used as interior and exterior materials for construction, have recently been required to have pollution prevention function. In order to remove contaminants, many researches of ceramic tiles with hydrophilic surface property through $TiO_2$ coating and hydrophobic surface property by improving the flow of water droplets have been proceeded. Expecially, it is very important to develop a surface glaze having hydrophobicity through a sintering process above $1000^{\circ}C$ without an additional coating process and the degradation of mechanical properties. In this study, surface glaze with copper powder was applied to manufacture of ceramic tile. Contact angle of ceramic tile according to thickness of surface glaze layer was investigated after the conventional sintering process. The contact angle of the ceramic tile surface without the copper powder was shown to be $25.3^{\circ}$, which is close to hydrophilic surface. However, the contact angle was increased up to $109.8^{\circ}$ when the thickness of surface glaze with the copper powder was $150{\mu}m$. The excellent hydrophobic property of the surface glaze with copper powder was resulted from the cellular structure of copper particles on the glaze surface. In addition, the mechanical properties of the developed hydrophobic ceramic tiles such as bending strength, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and frost resistance were well maintained and meet the criteria of 'KS L 1001 Ceramic tile'.

In this study, we prepared $TiO_2$ with the sol-gel method and controlled physico-chemical properties by a simple heat treatment. All materials were applied to photocatalytic decomposition of methylene blue and the material treated at 473 K showed the highest photocatalytic efficiency. The high performance resulted from a high adsorption amount of methylene blue due to a high surface area of $229.8m^2/g$. However, the material treated at 873 K, despite of a low surface area of $23.8m^2/g$ and a large particle size of 28.38 nm, exhibits a good photocatalytic performance due to the effect of mixed cyrstalline rutile and anatase phases formed by the high heat treatment temperature.

Titanium's importance as a mineral resource is increasing, but the Korean industry depends on imports. Ilmenite is the principal titanium ore. However, research and development from raw materials have not been investigated yet in detail. Hence, measures to secure a stable titanium supply chain are urgently needed. Accordingly, through beneficiation technology, we evaluated the possibility of technological application for the efficient recovery of valuable minerals. As a result of the experiments, we confirmed that mineral particles existed as fine particles due to weathering, making recovery through classification difficult. Consequently, applying beneficiation technologies, i.e., specific gravity separation, magnetic separation, and flotation, makes it possible to recover valuable minerals such as hematite and rutile. However, there are limitations in increasing the quality and yield of TiO₂ due to the mineralogical characteristic of the hematite and rutile contained in titanium ore. Hametite is combined with rutile even at fine particles. Therefore, it is essential to develop mineral processing routes, to recover iron, vanadium, and rare earth elements as resources. On that account, we used grinding technology that improves group separation between constituent minerals and magnetic separation technology that utilizes the difference in magnetic sensitivity between fine mineral particles. The development of beneficiation technology that can secure the economic feasibility of valuable materials after reforming iron oxide and titanium oxide components is necessary.

Silicon carbide (SiC)는 높은 power 영역과 높은 온도영역에서도 작동 가능한 우수한 반도체 물질이다. 또한 우수한 열적 화학적, 안정성을 가지고 있어 가흑한 조건에서의 소자로써도 사용 가능하다. 현재 SiC 적용분야로는 우수한 전기적, 기계적 성질을 이용한 미세소자(MEMS)와 GaN 와 거의 유사한 격자상수를 가지는 것을 이용한 GaN epitaxial 성장의 기판으로도 사용되어진다. 그러나 SiC 는 기존의 습식식각 용매에 대해 화학적 안정성을 가지고 있기 때문에 전자소자의 제작에 있어서 플라즈마를 이용한 건식식각의 중요성이 대두되어지고 있다. 소자제작에 있어 이러한 건식식각시 식각 단면의 제어, 이온에 의한 낮은 손상 정도, 매끄러운 식각 표면, 그리고 고속의 식각 속도둥이 요구되어진다. 본 실험에서는 식각 속도의 증가와 수직한 식각 단면둥을 획득하기 위하여 SF6 플라즈마에서 Source power, dc bias voltage, 그리고 외부에서 인가되는 자속의 세기를 변화시쳐가며 식각 속도, 식각 마스크와의 식각 션택비, 식각 단면둥과 같은 SiC 의 식각 특성을 관찰하였다. 식각 후 식각 단면은 주사전자 현미경(SEM)을 통해 관찰하였다. 본 실험에서의 가장 높은 식각 속도는 분당 1850n 로써 이때의 공정조건은 1400W 의 inductive power, -600V 의 dc bias voltage, 20G 의 외부자속 세기이었다. 또한, 높은 inductive power 조건과 낮은 dc bias voltage 조건에서 Cu는 $SF_6$ 플라즈마 내에서 식각부산물의 증착으로 인해 SiC 와 무한대의 식각선택비를 보였다. 이러한 Cu 마스크를 사용한 SiC 의 식각에서는 식각 후 수직한 식각 단변을 관찰할 수 있었다. 것올 알 수 있다. 따라서, 기존의 pve 보다 세라믹 기판의 경우가 수분 흡수율이 높아 더 오랫동안 전류를 흐르게 하여 방식성이 개선된 것으로 판단된다.을 통해 경도가 증가한 시편의 경우 석출상의 크기가 5nm 이하로 매우 작고 대체로 기지와 연속적인 계면을 형성하나, 열처리가 진행될수록 석 출상의 크기가 커지고 임계크기 이상에 이르면 연속적인 계면은 거의 발견되지 않고, 대부 분 불연속적이고 확연한 계면을 형성함을 관찰 할 수 있었다. 알루미나(${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$) 기판 위에 증착한 $(Ti_{1-x}AI_{x})N$ 피막은 마찬가지로 (200) 우선 방위를 나타내었으나, 그 입자의 크기가 수십 nm로 고속도강위에 증착한 피막에 비해 상당히 크게 형성되었다. 또한 열처리 후에 AIN의 석출이 진행됨에도 불구하고 경도 증가는 나타나지 않고, 열처리가 진행됨에 따라 경도가 감소하는 양상만을 나타내었다. 결국 $(Ti_{1-x}AI_{x})N$ 피막이 열처리 전후에 보아는 기계적 특성의 변화 양상은 열역학적으로 안정한 Wurzite-AlN의 석출에 따른 것으로 AlN 석출상의 크기에 의존하며, 또한 이러한 영향은 $(Ti_{1-x}AI_{x})N$ 피막에 존재하는 AI의 함량이 높고, 초기에 증착된 막의 업자 크기가 작을 수록 클 것으로 여겨진다. 그리고 환경의 의미의 차이에 따라 경관의 미학적 평가가 달라진 것으로 나타났다.corner$적 의도에 의한 경관구성의 일면을 확인할수 있지만 엄밀히 생각하여 보면 이러한 예의 경우도 최락의 총체적인 외형은 마찬가지로 $\ulcorner$순응$\lrcorner$의 범위를 벗어나지 않는다. 그렇기 때문에

Thickness dependence of orientation on piezoelectric and electrical properties was investigated by PZT (52/48) films by diol based sol-gel method. The thickness of each layer by spinning at one time was $0.2{\mu}m$ and crack-free films could be successfully deposited on 4 inches Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrates by 0.5 mol solutions in the range from $0.2{\mu}m$ to $3.8{\mu}m$. Excellent P-E hysteresis curves were achieved, which were attributed to the well-densified PZT films and columnar grain without pores or any defects between interlayers. The (111) preferred orientation of films were shown in the range of thickness below $1{\mu}m$. As the thickness increased, the (111) preferred orientation disappeared from $1{\mu}m$ to $3{\mu}m$ region, and the orientation of films became random above $3{\mu}m$. Dielectric constants and longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient, $d_{33}$, measured by pneumatic method were saturated around the value of about 1400 and 300 pC/N respectively above the thickness of $1{\mu}m$.

VWTi, which is used as a commercial catalyst in NH3-SCR, exhibits excellent denitrification performance at 300 to 400 ℃, but there is a problem that efficiency decreases at low temperatures below 300 ℃. Research on catalysts containing promoter to increase low-temperature denitrification efficiency is steadily progressing. However, research on the cause of the improvement in low-temperature denitrification efficiency of the catalyst and the catalyst properties is insufficient. In this study, it was confirmed that by adding Sb to VWTi, denitrification performance was improved by more than 10% in NH3-SCR reaction below 300 ℃. At this time, the space velocity and the size of the catalyst particles were controlled to exclude the influence of external/internal diffusion. In addition, the catalytic properties according to the presence or absence of Sb were investigated by performing BET, TEM/EDS, O2-TPD, H2-TPR and DRIFTs analysis. It was judged that the addition of Sb increased the adsorbed oxygen species on the surface of the catalyst, thereby enhancing the redox properties of the catalyst at low temperature and exhibiting excellent denitrification performance.

In the ozone evolution using $PbO_2$, which was electrodeposited on Ti plate at various conditions in electrolyte, the effects of lead dioxide structure on the current efficiency and surface structure changes of lead dioxide were investigated. Also the effects of oxygen transfer reaction on the ozone evolution were investigated by means of a $PbO_2$ electrodeposited on the platinum rotating disk electrode. In order to develope an electrode for ozone evolution, durability of lead dioxide and optimum current density were investigated. At the electrodeposited lead dioxide with the larger grain size and higher crystallinity, the efficiency for ozone evolution was higher. Optimum current density to electrodeposite lead dioxide with large grain size and high crystalinity was $50mA/cm^2$. Lead dioxide deposited in the presence of glycerin showed the best advantage of ozone evolution. Also lead dioxide electrodeposited at less than $10mA/cm^2$ or at more than $100mA/cm^2$ has poor performance of ozone evolution and poor adhesive strength to substrate. In the beginning of ozone evolution, surface structure of lead dioxide was changed and this change resulted in good effects on ozone evolution. Lead dioxide doped with other elements was favorable not to ozone evolution but to oxygen evolution, so it is speculated that ozone evolution has not intermediate stage of oxygen evolution and occurs competitively with oxygen evolution. When ozone was evolved at $0.7{\sim}0.8A/cm^2$, the current efficiency was highest.

Physical and magnetic behaviors of reduced Co-Zn-Ti-Sn substituted Ba-ferrite particles with hydrogen are different from those of reduced-pure Ba-ferrite particles. The coercivity of substituted Ba-feffite particles shows a peaking effect with the reduction temperature ranging from 250 to 520 $^{\circ}C$, while the coercivity of pure Ba-ferrite decreases monotonically. The reduction process of substituted Ba-ferrite has been found to be devided into three steps. At the first and second steps, the magneto-plumbite structure maintained. When the reduced-substituted Ba-ferrite particles are reoxidized, the coercivity is reversible at the first step but irreversible at the second step. During the third step of reduction process above 410 $^{\circ}C$. The magneto plumbite structure was collapsed with formation of $\alpha$-Fe and $BaFeO_{3-x}$ phases and consequently the coercivity distribution is broaden and the coercivity irreversible. The coercivity and saturation magnetization decreases and increases up to 130 emu/g respectively. In this study, it is found that the substituted elements prevent the magneto-plumbite structure from collapse during the reduction process and furthermore migrate from the magnetic sites of $2a+4f_{IV}$, 2b, and 12k to $4f_{VI}$ and 12k'. An increase in the coercivity before the collapse of magneto-plumbite structure is attributed to the migration of cations in hexagonal Ba-ferrite structure.

Photocatalyst deposited beads were prepared by fluidized bed chemical vapor deposition (FB-CVD) under various operating conditions of substrates, bed temperature, pressure, and oxygen concentration. Photocatalytic degradation of acetaldehyde was carried out to determine the optimum operating condition of prepared photocatalysts. They were characterized by using FE-SEM, XRD, and XPS. From the FE-SEM photographs, it was found that the surfaces of titania-coated beads were covered with crystal form, particle form, and slick form of titania on alumina, silica-gel, and glass beads, respectively. From the result of photocatalytic degradation of acetaldehyde, it was found that prepared titania/ alumina beads at $600^{\circ}C$, 5 torr showed superior performance to others, and oxygen flow rate has no significant effect.
