본 논문은 북제주군 협제리 해안가 근처에 소재한 건지굴을 대상으로 화산지역의 용암동굴에서 특이하게 진행되고 있는 용암석회질화 현상에 대하여 동굴내부와 주변 상황에 근거한 분석과 고찰을 통하여 석회질화의 발생 원인을 규명하는데 기여하고자 하였으며, 특히 동굴내부의 생태계와 연관된 분석을 병행 시도하였다. 용암동굴(화산동굴)은 생성이후 퇴화한다. 그러나 용암동굴에서 용암석회질화(lava-calcification) 현상이 발생하면 용암의 기공과 균열부분 또는 용암석간의 틈새에 석회질 성분이 지하수에 녹아 침투하여 고화되면서 구조적 보강효과가 발생하여 견고하게 진행된다. 이러한 현상은 마치 콘크리트 건축구조물에서 구조재료들을 물리적으로 연결하여 결합시키는 시멘트의 역할과 같으며, 따라서 용암동굴의 경우, 동굴이 형성된 이후에 전반적으로 퇴화가 진행된다고 알려진 일반적 경향에 반하여 용암석회질화 현상에 의해 오히려 구조적 보강현상이 이루어지고, 용암석회질화 현상이 진행될수록 용암동굴의 일반적 경향으로 나타나는 동굴퇴화현상 보다는 구조적 견고함의 진행성을 나타내는 특이현상을 갖는다. 이와 같은 진행성 용암석회질화 현상이 북제주군 협제리에 소재한 건지굴에서 진행되고 있음이 국내에서 최초로 확인되었다.

아직까지 국내에서 사용하는 대부분의 에너지는 화석연료에 의존하고 있다. 지하자원에서 나오는 석탄, 석유와 같은 화석연료는 다른 에너지원에 비해 운송이 간편하고 쉽게 이용할 수 있는 장점이 있지만, 환경오염의 문제성과 오일가상승, 자원의양 및 저장장소가 한정되어 있다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이에 따라 수소와 같은 대체에너지를 이용하여 환경오염을 예방하고 무한히 사용할 수 있는 에너지원을 개발하기 위한 대체 방안들이 연구되고 있다. 폐기물 가스화시 발생되는 합성가스(CO, $CO_2$, $CH_4$, $H_2$) 내 일차로 생성된 일산화탄소는 수증기와 반응함으로써 이산화탄소로 전환이 가능하다. 잔류 메탄은 이산화탄소를 이용하여 개질함으로써 합성가스내 수소농도를 높일 수 있다. 전환된 잔류가스(CO, $CO_2$, $H_2$)내 일산화탄소는 산소를 이용하여 이산화탄소로 산화시킬 수 있으며, 산화된 이산화탄소는 흡착제를 이용하여 제거가 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 실제 가스화시 발생되는 합성가스를 이용하기 위하여, RPF가스화시 발생되는 합성가스를 직접 포집하여 실험을 진행하였다. 합성가스내 소량의 메탄은 니켈촉매를 이용하여 수소로 전화시켰으며, 잔류하는 일산화탄소는 백금촉매, 이산화탄소는 탄산나트륨 흡착제를 이용하여 연속적으로 제거함으로써 순수한 수소를 제공하였다.

Stress rupture properties and fracture behavior of Ni microalloyed W were studied using direct load creep tester at 100$0^{\circ}C$, 110$0^{\circ}C$ and 120$0^{\circ}C$ in $H_2$. At the same grain size, 15${\mu}$m, the 100hr. stress rupture strength of W-0.4wt% Ni was 23% higher than that of W-0.2wt%Ni due to the grain growth during test. The minimum creep rate of W-0.2wt%Ni was decreased with an increase in initial grain size. By increasing the Ni content of Ni microalloyed W, rupture time was increased owing to the smaller number and size of cavity. All the specimens showed intergranular fracture by grain boundary sliding and nucleation, growth and coalescence of cavities at grain boundary.

Carbon nano sphere(CNS) and nano bowl of carbon(NBC) containing 1.0 wt% copper were prepared by impregnation method and their catalytic activity was compared in the phenol hydroxylation with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of water and acetonitrile as a solvent, respectively. Cu content of catalysts was determined by EDS, and BET, pore volume, pore size and pore size distribution were compared. For both catalysts, phenol conversion, $H_2O_2$ efficiency and yield of catechol and hydroquinone were higher in the presence of water as a solvent than those in the presence of actonitrile. And catalytic activity such as phenol conversion and $H_2O_2$ efficiency of 1.0 Cu/CNS is about two times higher than that of 1.0 Cu/NBC in water solvent.

The porous sensing materials for BaTiO$_3$ gas sensors were fabricated by adding the graphite powders. The crystalline structure and microstructure of the porous BaTiO$_3$-based ceramics were studied. All the sintered bodies showed a tetragonal perovskite structure. The porosity increased with increasing graphite contents. This is mainly due to an enhanced evolution of CO and $CO_2$ gases resulting from the exothermic reactions of graphite and oxygen during the sintering. It was found that the discrepancy in the resistivities measured in air and CO atmospheres at high temperatures (>∼20$0^{\circ}C$) became remarkable with increasing temperature. The sensitivity of CO gas increased with porosity, since the reactions between CO gas and $O_2$$^{[-10]}$ and between CO gas and $O^{[-10]}$ are active due to the formation of many reaction sites. The porous BaTiO$_3$-based ceramics could be promising as a sensing material for CO gas sensors.

This study represents the synthetic characteristics of styrene-DVB copolymer which is used as a catalyst support for the removal of tritium in CANDU. To evaluate the effect of solvent on the styrene-DVB polymeric support, the solvating power dependent on various kinds and composition of solvents was calculated. In order to synthesize the macroreticular type polymer bead, the following conditions are needed; solvating power should be higher than 1 for 20% of crosslinkage and higher than 3 for 40% of crosslinkage. Stabilization of organic monomers at about $40^{\circ}C$ for more than 2 hours is prerequisite. Removal of solvent prior to drying is preferred for the post-treatment of the bead. The polymer particle size was increased by lowering concentration of surfactant and stirring speed.

In this work, red mud (RM) was chemically modified by 0.1, 1, and 5 M H3PO4 solution to prepare epoxy/RM nanocomposites. The effect of chemical treatment on pH, acid-base values, specific surface area, and porosity of RM surface was analyzed. To estimate the mechanical interfacial properties of epoxy/RM nanocomposites, the critical stress intensity factor (K$_{IC}$) was measured. From the experimental results, it was clearly revealed that the porosity, specific surface area, and acid values of RM surface were developed as the increase of the treatment concentration due to the increase of acidic functional group, including hydroxyl group on RM surface. The mechanical interfacial properties of epoxy/treated-RM nanocomposites were higher than those of epoxy/RM as-received due to an improvement of interfacial bonding between basic matrix and RM surface.

Controlled Ca impurity implanted inner crack-like pore in the high purity alumina bi-crystal had been created by micro-fabrication technique, which includes ion implantation, photo-lithography, Ar ion milling, and hot press. The morphological change and the growth od crystals formed by heat treatment in Ca doped high purity single crystal alumina, were observed using optical microscopy. The dot was developed and hexagon like crystal appeared on inner surface of crack-like pore after heat treatment. Bar type crystals, probably CaO . $6Al_2O_3$, were observed on the inner surface of 100ppm Ca implanted specimen after 1 hour heat treatment at $1,500^{\circ}C$, but this bar type crystal disappeared after 1 hour heat treatment at $1,600^{\circ}C$. This disappearance means that there should be little increase of Ca solubility limit to alumina and/or changes of diffusion coefficient of Ca in alumina around this temperature.

The direct synthesis of $C_2$ chemical directly from methane was studied by employing catalysts with ordered mesopores in a dielectric barrier discharge plasma reactor. The reaction was carried out using MgO/OMA (ordered mesoporous alumina), $MgO/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ and $MgO/{\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ as catalysts. When MgO/OMA was applied, it showed excellent performance in the plasma reactor using pulse-type power supply and the selectivity of $C_2$ chemicals was measured as 67%. The effects of metal oxide type, textural property of support, alumina phase and power supply type on catalytic performance were investigated especially in terms of $C_2$ chemical formation. BET (Brunauer, Emmett, Teller), X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope and thermogravimetric analysis were used to investigate the characterization of the catalyst before and after the reaction.

It is well known that new tissue or blood vessel is grown into a porous calcium phosphate ceramics used as a bone graft substitute due to their excellent biocompatibility. In this study, the most chemically stable porous $\beta$-crystalline form in various forms of calcium metaphosphate, Ca(PO$_3$)$_2$is prepared by the controlled thermolysis of monocalcium phosphate, Ca(H$_2$PO$_4$)$_2$.The diameter of cylindrical pores formed during cooling was controlled by a holding time at the melting point of a monocalcium phosphate and by the change of a crystallization temperature, to obtain the most appropriate size (about 200$\mu$m) of pores for the application of bone substitutes and matricuts. It was observed that the increasing holding time at the melting point of monocalcium phosphate results in the decreases of cylindrical pore sizes.
