Alumina substrate was sealed by PbO-ZnO-$B_2O_3$glass using microwave heating. The crystallization behaviour of sealing glass and the state of sealing joint were investigated and were compared with those of conventionally sealed one. Compared to the conventional one, the microwave heat-treated sample had well-grown $\textrm{PbTiO}_3$ crystals and high degree of crystallinity even though it had shorter heat-treatment time and lower heat-treatment temperature. Also, the microwave sealed sample exhibited relatively a good sealing state and almost same bending strength.

Wastewater sludge had normally filled up in land before revising the law of waste material management in 2003, which does not permit landfill of organic sludge in Korea. After the law, most sludge has been littered in the ocean up to now. However, due to the London Convention 96 Protocol, littering sludge in the ocean will also be prohibited after 2011. This Protocol makes countries find out new methods to treat wastewater sludge. There is no exception in Korea too. Many researchers have urgently try to find out better ways to treat sludge. One of ways is to make sludge recycle energy and the success of it depends on drying method. Specifically, it really depends how to make sludge dry ecologic friendly and economic efficiently. Therefore, wastewater sludge produced in Youngdong was analyzed to make it energy resources in this study. The sludge was tested to analyze the drying and chemical characteristics of it by irradiating microwave. In the result, it is sure that the sludge has little heavy metals as like as others in country side. High calories, 3370 Kcal, shows that it has good potential to be recycle energy. Moreover, weight deduction of the sludge vs. time shows long S-curve and has same deduction ratio. Specifically, S-curve can be divided by three sections based on the curvature points. There are steady state reduction ratio of weight and approximately 80% of weight duction in the second section. This results can be used to estimate the amount of sludge reduction in the full-scale microwave dryer. Drying capacity of microwave shows approximately 1.0 kg/kw/hr. It makes sure that sludge recycle energy has the potential of economic efficiency too.

The behavior of nucleation and crystallization in the $Li_2O_3-SiO_2$ glass heat-treated at different condition under the conventional and microwave processing was studied by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), optical microscopy (OM), and electrical conductivity measurement. Nucleation temperature and temperature of maximum nucleation rate in both conventionally and microwave heat-treated samples were 460~$500^{\circ}C$ and $580^{\circ}C$, respectively. It was expected that the probability for bulk crystallization increased in microwave heat-treated sample, compared to conventionally heat-treated one. Degree of crystallization increased with increasing crystallization temperature in both conventionally and microwave heat-treated samples. However, pattern of crystallization growth under microwave processing appeared to be quite different from that under the conventional one due to its internal or volumetric heating. Electrical conductivity of conventionally and microwave heat-treated samples were 1.337~2.299, 0.281~~$0.911{\times}10^{-7}\Omega {\textrm}{cm}^{-1}$, respectively.

밀도는 플라즈마의 기본적인 물리적 성질을 이해하는데 중요한 인자로 인식되고 있으며 많은 방법들이 밀도분포의 측정에 이용되었다. 이 중 마이크로파 진단법의 하나인 레플렉토메터리는 그 고유한 특성 때문에 현재 밀도분포측정법으로써 폭넓게 활용되고 있다. 그러나 레플렉토메터리 신호에 대한 처리 및 분석 방법은 다양하여 주어진 플라즈마에 가장 절적한 방법을 선택하는 것은 쉽지 않다. 본 논문에서는 레플렉토메터리의 신호로부터 밀도분포를 정확히 재구성하는 알고리즘을 개발하기 위한 기초 단계로써 모의된 레플렉토메터리 선호에 기존의 신호해석법들 중 우수한 해석법으로 알려진 CDM(complex demodulation method)과 웨이브레트(wavelet) 분석법을 적용하여 밀도분포재구성에 대한 양자의 성능을 비교한다. 그리고 플라즈마의 특성에 기초하여 모의된 신호에 실제 상황에서 존재할 수 있는 잡음신호를 첨가하여 이것이 밀도분포 재구성에 미치는 효과를 조사한다.

1,2,4-Triazoles, pyrazolones and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles have been synthesized from substituted hydrazide using various solid supports under microwave irradiation (MWI). The results obtained highlight the versatility of the solid supports. All synthesized compounds were screened for their antifungal activity against A. niger and A. flavus and were found to possess good activity.

ECR 마이크로 플라즈마 CVD법에 의하여 단결정 Si기판위에서 대면적에 걸쳐 방향성을 가진 다이아몬드박막을 성공적으로 성장시키고, 막 증착공정을 바이어스처리 단계와 성막단계의 2단계로 나누어 실시할 때 바이어스처리 단계에서 여러 공정 매개변수들이 다리아몬드 핵생성밀도에 미치는 효과에 관하여 조사하였다. 기판온도$600^{\circ}C$, 압력 10Pa, 마이크로파 전력 3kW, 기판바이어스 +30V의 조건으로 바아어스 처리할 때, 핵생성에 대한 잠복기간은 5-6분이며, 핵생성이 완료되기 까지의 시간은 약 10분이다. 10분 이후에는 다이아몬드 결정이 아닌 비정질 탄소막이 일단 형성된다. 그러나 성장단계에서 이러한 비정질 탄소막은 에칭되어 제거되고 남아있는 다이다몬드 핵들이 다시 성장하게 된다. 또한 기판온도의 증가는 다이아몬드 막의 결정성을 높이고 핵생성 밀도를 증가시키는 데에 별로 효과가 없다. ECR플라즈마 CVD법에서 바이어스처리 테크닉을 사용하면, 더욱 효과적임을 확인하였다. 총유량 100 sccm의 CH$_{3}$OH(15%)/He(85%)계를 사용하여 가스압력 10Pa, 바이어스전압 +30V마이크로파 전력 3kW, 온도 $600^{\circ}C$의 조건하에서 40분간 바이어스처리한 다음 다이아몬드막을 성장시켰을 때 일시적으로나마 제한된 지역에서 완벽한 다이아몬드의 에피성장이 이루어졌음을 SEM으로 확인하였다. 이것은 Si기판상에서의 다이아몬드의 에피성장이 가능함을 시사하는 것이다. 그밖에 라만분광분석과 catodoluminescence 분석에 의한 다이아몬드의 결정질 조사결과와 산소방전 및 수소방전에 의한 챔버벽의 탄소오염효과 등에 관하여 토의하였다.

The effects of microwave, amount of flux and temperature on the growth of whisker-type $Al_{18}$B$_4$ $O_{33}$ particles were investigated by using X-Ray Diffractometry (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). With increase of heat-treatment temperature and amount of flux, the size of whisker-type $Al_{18}$B$_4$ $O_{33}$ particles increased in both conventional and microwave heat-treated samples. However, compared to the conventional heat-treated samples, whisker-type $Al_{18}$B$_4$ $O_{33}$ particles were well grown for the microwave heat-treated samples.ted samples.

The objective of this research is to evaluate the optimum recycling methods for the sewage sludge cakes at different microwave power-settings and for different periods of time. The dehydrated sewage sludge cakes used in this study was obtained from N wastewater treatment plan in the P City. The beginning drying processes were carried out in a microwave oven with 2,450 MHz frequency and power ranges of 1kW to 4 kW. The continuous conveyer drying system was also operated with 2,450 MHz frequency and power setting, ranging from of 1 kW to 6 kW. Initial moisture content of the sewage cake is 78~80%, and the moisture content decreased rapidly up to 0.2~2(wt%) within short periods due to breaking the cell walls. This study is also conducted to evaluate the characteristics of sewage sludge cakes with respect to important physical parameters effect on the thermal kinetics for evaporation water in the sludge which are operation times, moisture contents, drying rates, input amounts, flow rates and calorific values. It takes 60 minutes and 120 minutes to reach the critical moisture contents with power setting of 4 kW for 3kg/min and 6kg/min of the flow rates respectively. It takes 120 minutes and 110 minutes to reach the critical moisture contents with flow rates of 2.5 cm/min and sludge input of 6kg/min for the power settings of 4 kW and 6 kW respectively. The most effective value of the power for drying the sludge is 4 kW. Operation with 6kg/min and 4kW on 2cm of the sludge thickness can be effectively and inexpensively to reach the critical moisture contents, when you compare 2cm of the sludge thickness with 1cm and 3cm of the sludge thickness.

Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), which is known as less time and less solvent than current extraction methods, was applied to hydrocarbons extraction from irradiated soybean. Among the transported agricultural products, soybean was selected as representative samples for possible application of irradiated treatment and identification of radiation-induced markers. Using 4 kGy-irradiated soybean, different microwave extraction conditions (extraction time and microwave power) were applied and the changes in hydrocarbon concentrations were monitored. The predicted optimum extracted condition for hydrocarbon analysis of soybean was found to be microwave extraction with a microwave power of 97 W and extraction time of 2.2 min. This extraction time was significantly lower compared to the common extraction time of 12-24hr.
