2.45 GHz 마이크로웨이브를 이용하는 electron cyclotron resonance plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(ECR-PECVD)방법으로 다이아몬드성 탄소박막(diamond-like carbon, DLC)을 증착하였다. DLC 박막의 산업 응용을 위해서는 높은 경도와 밀착력이 필요하다. 그래서 본 실험에서는 DLC 박막의 산업 응용을 위하여 ECR-PECVD 방법으로 증착된 DLC 박막의 분석결과로부터 DLC 박막의 물성과 증착조건의 관계를 조사하였다. 기판으로는 실리콘 웨이퍼와 실험용 SUS 판을 사용하였다. 아르곤 가스를 주입하여 ECR 마이크로 웨이브 플라즈마와 negative DC bias로 기판을 플라즈마 세척한 후, 수소와 메탄가스를 반응기체로 하여 DLC 박막을 증착하였다. 박막 증착시에 13.56MHz RF 전원 공급장치로 기판에 전원을 공급하였다. DLC 박막 증착의 변수는 반응기체의 호합율, 마이크로웨이브 파워, 프로세스 압력 및 RF 전원공급장치에서 유도되는 negative self DC bias 등이다. 이때 사용된 반응기체의 혼합율(메탄/수소)은 10~50%이고, 수소 가스 흐름율은 100sccm, 메탄은 10~50sccm이다. 마이크로웨이브의 크기는 360~900W, negative self DC bias는 -500~-10 V였다. 그리고 본 실험에서는 높은 증착율을 고려하여 프로세스 압력을 10~30mTorr까지 조절하였다. ER-PECVD 방법으로 증착된 DLC 박막은 SEM으로 단면, $\alpha$-Step으로 두께, Raman 분광계로 탄소 결합구조, FTIR 분광계로 탄소와 수소 결합구조, Micro-Hardness로 경도 그리고 Scratch Tester로 밀착력 등을 분석하였다.

FDTD(Finite Difference Time Domain) 방법을 적용하여 마이크로웨이브 오븐 내부의 전자기장을 해석하였고, 적외선사진을 통하여 실험과 비교 검증하였다. 부하의 종류와 형태에 따른 전자기장의 패턴 변화를 고찰하였고, 여러 가지 포밍형태와 오프닝 형태에 따른 전자기장의 패턴을 적외선 사진과 비교하였다. 표면 보정 기법을 적용하여 부하표면에서의 전자파 패턴을 보다 정확히 예측할 수 있었으며, 또한 마그네트론의 공진 주파수에 따른 전자파 파워 패턴의 변화를 살펴 보았다. 이와 같이 개발된 마이크로 웨이브 오븐 내부의 전자파 해석 프로그램을 이용하면, 균일 가열 성능 향상을 위한 마이크로웨이브 오븐의 캐비티 설계 기간을 크게 단축할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study is to find out the possibility of applying microwave-hypochlorous acid leaching to effectively leaching Au in hydrothermal minerals on board. The comparative leaching experiment were confirmed that the leaching rate of Au with(T1)/with out(T2) of microwave nitric acid leaching. In addition, the leaching rate of Au on the conventional leaching by mechanical agitation(T3) and microwave leaching was compared. The result of microwave nitric acid leaching(solid-liquid ratio; 10%, leaching temperature; 90 ℃, leaching time; 20 min) confined that the metal leaching rate was high in the order of As>Pb>Cu>Fe>Zn, and the content of Au in the leaching residue was increased from 33.77 g/ton to 60.02 g/ton. As a result of the comparative leaching experiment using a chloride solvent, the dissolution rate of Au was high in the order of T1(61.10%)>T3(53.30%)>T2(17.30%). Therefore, chloride, which can be manufactured using seawater and that can be recycled by collecting chlorine gas generated in the leaching process, is expected to be an optimal solvent for Au leaching. In addition, the application of microwaves is believed to be effective in terms of time, efficiency and energy.

In this research, we investigate the effect of microwave pretreatment on the recovery of gold from the gold concentrates by thiourea leaching. The changes in mineral phases by decomposition of pyrites in the gold concentrates using microwave were observed, and the result of microwave irradiation showed that the temperature of the irradiated sample increases with increasing irradiation time. With the reaction of temperature increases, Sulfur (S) in pyrites was converted to sulfur dioxide (SO₂), and then the content of S in the sample was reduced. The analytical results of XRD and SEM-EDS showed that pyrites are converted to magnetite and hematite, and its surfaces are changed to a porous shape where micro-cracks are developed. The Au leaching efficiency from the irradiated gold concentrates using thiourea-mixed solvent increased with the increases of irradiation time and solvent concentration. The experimental results considering leaching parameters indicate that the mechanism of microwave irradiation increases the maximum leaching efficiency and leaching rate of the gold concentrates, and the solvent does a role for the increasing of leaching rate constant.

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.

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.

In this study, an optimized process for the waste cooking oil based biodiesel production using microwave energy was designed by using Box-Behnken design model. The process variables were chosen as a mole ratio of the methanol to oil, microwave power, and reaction time. Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) content was then measured. Through the results of basic experiments, the range of optimum operation variables for the Box-Behnken design model, such as the methanol/oil mole ratio and reaction time, were set as between 8 to 10 and between 4 to 6 min, respectively. Ranges of the microwave power were set as from 8 to 12 W/g for 1.30 mg of KOH/g, acid value, while from 10 to 14 W/g for 2.00 mg of KOH/g, acid value. The optimum methanol/oil mole ratio, microwave power, and reaction time were reduced to 7.58, 10.26 W/g, and 5.1 min, respectively, for 1.30 mg KOH/g of acid value. Also, the optimum methanol/oil mole ratio, microwave power, and reaction time were 7.78, 12.18 W/g, and 5.1 min, respectively, for 2.00 mg KOH/g of acid value. Predicted FAME contents were 98.4% and 96.3%, with error rates of less than 0.3%. Therefore, when the optimized process of biodiesel production using microwave energy was applied to the Box-Behnken design model, the low error rate could be obtained.

Here we describe a fast and rapid technique for preparation of amino acid hydrazide as well as peptide hydrazide derivatives using diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC)/1-hydroxybenzotriazoles (HOXt) (X = A or B) under microwave irradiation employing a multimode reactor (Synthos 3000 Aton Paar, GmbH, 1400 W maximum magnetron). A comparison between conventional and microwave irradiation was described. The microwave methodology is rapid, convenient, proceeds under mild conditions. Diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC)/7-aza-1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOAt) always gave much better yield (95 - 98%) and purity than diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC)/1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt).

An integrated photonic K-band microwave bandpass filter has been proposed and demonstrated by incorporating a polymeric ring resonator. Its transfer characteristics were adjusted by shilling the resonance wavelength of the ring resonator via the thermooptic effect. The achieved performance of the filter includes the center frequency of 20 GHz, the attenuation of ${\sim}15dB$, the bandwidth of 2 GHz, and the corresponding quality factor of 10. The microwave output power within the passband of the device was adjusted at the rate of about 6.7 dB/mW in the range of 27 dB. This kind of device with electrically controllable transfer characteristics can be applied to implement microwave switches and other devices.
