Aliphatic and aromatic nitro compounds were selectively reduced to their corresponding amino derivatives in good yields using formic acid and CeY zeolite under monomode reactor. This system is found to be compatible with several sensitive functionalities. Beside the recycling result showed it had a long catalyst lifetime and could maintain activity even after being used for 20 cycles.

국내 반도체 시장은 세계 1위의 시장점유율을 가지고 있지만 핵심장비의 경우 국내 장비 기술의 낙후로 인해 대부분을 선진국에 의존하는 실정이다. 따라서 국내 장비 기술의 발전 요구에 따라 연구가 진행되었으며 기존 PE-CVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) 장비에서의 하전입자에 의한 기판 손상 가능을 제거하고 개개의 반응 원소의 에너지와 플럭스를 조절하여 다양한 공정온도에서 증착을 구현할 수 있는 HNB-CVD(Hyperthermal Neutral Beam Chemical Vapor Deposition) 장비를 개발하였다. 고밀도 플라즈마 생성을 위한 마이크로웨이브 SLAN(Slot Antenna) 소스를 사용하였으며 대면적 공정에 적합하도록 설계하였다. 최적의 설계와 진단을 위한 마이크로웨이브 SLAN 소스내의 E-field 분포 시뮬레이션과 Langmuir Probe 진단이 이루어졌다.

Aminothienopyridazines 1a, b and aminothienocoumarin 2 condensed with DMFDMA to yield amidines 3a, b and 4. These compounds reacted with N-phenylmaleimide to yield 9 and 10. On the other hand reacting 3a, b, 4, 18, 19 and 20 with maleic anhydride afforded only the formylated derivatives 5a, b, 6, 21, 22 and 23 respectively. The reaction of 3a, b with diethyl fumarate afforded 11, formed most likely via hydrolysis of the amidine 14 during working up the reaction mixture. Irradiation of N-phenylmaleimide in microwave oven afforded [2+2] and [2+2+2] cycloaddition product.

An efficient synthetic process for bio-based adipic acid, a monomer for nylon 66, was developed from galactose. Galactaric acid, prepared from a mild oxidation of galactose using a Pt catalyst, was successfully converted to muconate, a key intermediate for adipic acid, by an efficient microwave-assisted DODH (deoxydehydration) reaction. The high efficiency of the microwave-assisted reaction greatly reduced the overall reaction time to 30 min. and resulted in an excellent yield of 97% of muconate. The catalytic hydrogenation of muconate followed by the acidic hydrolysis successfully produced the desired adipic acid in high purity after recrystallization.

In this study, we measured total flavonoids after extracting the total flavonoids from lemongrass which is known to have a high content of antioxidant ingredients when using microwave energy. Also, optimal extraction conditions of active ingredients using central composite design-response surface methodology (CCD-RSM) were presented. Both ultrapure water and alcohol were used as extraction solvents and the volume ratio of ethanol/ultrapure water, microwave irradiation time, and microwave irradiation power were set as independence variables. And the extraction yield and total flavonoids were measured. The optimal extraction conditions using CCD-RSM were the volume ratio of ethanol/ultrapure water = 56.3 vol.%, the microwave irradiation time = 6.1 min, and the microwave irradiation power = 574.6 W. We could also obtain expected results of yield = 17.2 wt.% and total flavonoids = 44.7 ㎍ QE/mL dw under the optimum conditions. The comprehensive satisfaction degree of this formula was 0.8562. The P-value was calculated for the yield of 0.037 and the total flavonoids content of 0.002. The average error from actual experiments established for the verification of conclusions was lower than 2.5%. Therefore, a high favorable level could be obtained when the CCD-RSM was applied to the optimization of extraction process.

Effect of microwave radiation on physico-chemical properties of cor'n starches was studied. Waxy com, com and high amylose com starches of varying moisture content(20～35%) were subjected to microwave processing(2450MHz) at $120^{\circ}$ and the experimental starch samples were examined by a X-ray diffractometry, rapid viscosity analyzer(RVA) and. with the samples in temperature was observed and the peaks of high amylose com starches at $2^{\circ}$=5.0, 15.0 and $23.0^{\circ}$, were disappeared indicating the melting of crystallines while those of com and waxy com had not changed. A change in gelatinization pattern was observed in the case of corn starches from type A with nearly no peak-viscosity and breakdown to type C. Except a decreased viscosity, no change was observed in those of waxy com starches.

대기압 플라즈마는 멸균과 살균, 지혈, 피부재생, 치아 미백 등 여러 의학 분야를 대상으로 그 효과를 나타내고 있으며, 플라즈마 장비를 만들어 내기 위해 부피가 큰 진공 장비가 필요하지 않다는 점에서 대기압 플라즈마는 그 활용과 효과에 있어 큰 기대를 받고 있다. 대기압에서 플라즈마는 다양한 주파수를 이용하여 만들어져 왔으며, 본 연구실에서 연구하고 있는 수백 MHz-수 GHz 대역의 파워를 사용하는 플라즈마의 경우 대기압 플라즈마를 의학 분야에 사용할 때 만족해야 할 조건들에 만족하는 특성을 보여준다. 기존의 고주파를 사용하는 장비의 경우 추가적인 Matching 장비로 인해 플라즈마를 만들기 위해 큰 장비와 높은 파워가 필요한 단점이 있었다. 하지만 이 마이크로웨이브 장비는 전송선 이론을 기반으로 장비 자체가 구조적인 Matching이 이루어 지도록 설계되었다(그림 1). 즉, 추가적인 Matching 장비의 필요 없이 외부에서 파워를 주는 것만으로 플라즈마를 발생 시킬 수 있으며, 50% 이상의 파워 효율을 보여준다. 또한 그 크기도 손에 쥐고 사용할 수 있을 볼펜 정도의 크기이며, 3W의 정도의 저 전력으로 플라즈마를 발생 시켰다. 높은 에너지를 가지는 전자들은 공급되는 기체뿐만 아니라, 주변 공기와의 반응하여 여러 응용분야에 적합한 활성 종을 다량 만들어내게 된다. 본 연구실의 강점인 플라즈마 시뮬레이션으로 얻은 결과에서 주파수가 올라 갈수록 높은 에너지를 가지는 전자들이 많아지는 것을 보여준다. 그리고 발생시킨 플라즈마의 광학 특성에서도 생의학 분야에 적합한 많은 활성 종들이 발생 되는 것을 확인하였다. 일반적으로 의학 분야에 사용되는 플라즈마의 경우 플라즈마에서 발생하는 열에 의한 피해를 최소화 하는 것이 중요하다. 마이크로웨이브 플라즈마의 경우, 그 플라즈마의 온도가 50$50^{\circ}$C 미만으로 의학 분야에 사용하기 적합하다. 또한 구동 주파수가 올라갈수록 플라즈마를 유지하는데 필요한 전압이 상대적으로 낮아지게 되는데, 이는 전기적 쇼크 등 플라즈마 의용에서 발생하는 안전성 문제에 있어서도 마이크로 웨이브 장비가 좋은 점이다. 본 플라즈마 장비를 구동하기 위한 손바닥 크기 정도의 소형의 전용 파워 장치를 개발함으로써 저전력 소형 플라즈마 장치를 개발하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. 마이크로 웨이브 장비는 여러 가지 분야에서 그 효과를 검증 받았다. 혈액 응고 실험에서 30초 정도의 짧은 처리만으로도 자연 응고에 비해 탁월한 지혈 효과를 보여줬다 (그림 2). 충치를 발생시키는 대표적인 구강균인 S.mutans의 살균 실험에서 Ti02와의 복합적인 처리를 통해 30초 미만의 처리로 처리하지 않은 것에 비해 10-6 만큼의 줄어드는 살균 효과를 보여줬다. 뿐만 아니라 치아의 미백에 있어서도 탁월한 효과를 나타냈다. 현재 본연구실에서는 마이크로 웨이브 장비의 기본적인 구조를 응용하여, 좀더 넓은 영역을 처리할 수 있는 대면적 마이크로 웨이브 장비를 위한 연구를 수행 중이다.

This study aimed to liberate gold from invisible gold concentrate (Au = 1,840.00 g/t) through microwave nitric acid leaching experiments. For the purpose, this study conducted microwave-nitric acid leaching experiments and examined nitric acid concentration effect, microwave leaching time effect and sample addition effect. The results of the experiments were as follows: Au (gold) contents were not detected in all of the microwave leaching conditions. In the insoluble-residue, weight loss rate tended to decrease as the nitric acid concentration, microwave leaching time and sample addition increased. In an XRD analysis with solid-residue, it was suggested that gypsum and anglesite were formed due to dissolution of calcite and galena by nitric acid solution. When a fire assay was carried out with insoluble-residue, it was discovered that gold contents of the solid-residue were 1.3 (Au = 2,464.70 g/t) and 28.8 (52,952.80 g/t) times more than those of concentrate. But in the gold contents recovered, a severe gold nugget effect appeared. It is expected that the gold nugget effect will decrease if a sampling method of concentrate is improved in the microwave-nitric acid leaching experiments and filtering paper with smaller pore size is used for leaching solution and burned filter paper is used for sampling in lead-fire assay.

This study attempted to find optimum extract range of active ingredient for barley sprouts (Hordeum vulgare L.). Extracts from Hordeum vulgare L. were made by microwave extraction method and total polyphenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), DPPH radical scavenging activity (DPPH) were measured with extract of Hordeum vulgare L.. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to a extraction process, and central composite design (CCD) was also used for this process to examine the optimum condition. Independent variables ($X_n$) are concentration of ethanol ($X_1$: 0, 25, 50, 75, 100%), microwave power ($X_2$: 60, 120, 180, 240, 300 W), extraction time ($X_3$: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 min). Dependent variables ($Y_n$) are TPC ($Y_1$), TFC ($Y_2$), DPPH radical scavenging ($Y_3$). It is formed by sixteen conditions to extract. The $R^2$ value of dependent variables is ranged from 0.90 to 0.97 (p<0.05). Experiments values within the optimal range (40% of ethanol concentration, 120 W of microwave power, 18 min of extraction time) were 3.74 mg GAE/g (TPC), 3.00 mg RE/g (TFC), 35.43% (DPPH), respectively. Under the optimized conditions, predicted value showed no significant difference comparing with the experimental values.

We suggested a microwave sensor structure and fabricated experimentally to detect particular particles in the air which are difficult to detect using conventional UWB sensors because their reaction frequencies to electromagnetic waves are too high. In the experiment to detect water particles in the air with up-conversion frequency of 10GHz, we verified detect signal amplitude variation of 75% depending on presence or absence of water particles. The suggested structure can be useful to detect particular materials at the high frequencies more than a few 10th GHz, because the same method can be applied to detect other materials.
