The Xiaoxinancha Cu-Au deposit in the Jilin province, located in NNE 800 km of Beijing, is hosted by diorite. The ore mineralization of Xiaoxinancha Cu-Au deposit show a stockwork occurrence that is concentrated on the potassic and phyllic alteration zones. The Xiaoxinancha Cu-Au deposit in the south is being mined with its reserves grading 0.8% Cu, 3.64 g/t Au and 16.8 g/t Ag and in the north, grading 0.63% Cu, 3.80 g/t Au and 6.8 glt Ag. The alteration assemblage occurs as a supergene blanket over deposit. Hydrothermal alteration at the Xiaoxinancha Cu-Au deposit is centered about the stock and was extensively related to the emplacement of the stock. Early hydrothermal alteration was dominantly potassic and followed by propylitic alteration. Chalcocite, often associated with hematite, account for the ore-grade copper, while chalcopyrite, bornite, quartz, epidote, chlorite and calcite constitute the typical gangue assemblage. Other minor opaque phases include pyrite, marcasite, native gold, electrum, hessite, hedleyite, volynskite, galenobismutite, covellite and goethite. Fluid inclusion data indicate that the formation of this porphyry copper deposit is thought to be a result of cooling followed by mixing with dilute and cooler meteoric water with time. In stage II vein, early boiling occurred at 497$^{\circ}$C was succeeded by the occurrence of halite-bearing type III fluid inclusion with homogenization temperature as much as 100$^{\circ}$C lower. The salinities of type 1II fluid inclusion in stage II vein are 54.3 to 66.9 wt.% NaCI + KCI equiv. at 383$^{\circ}$ to 495$^{\circ}$C, indicating the formation depth less than 1 km. Type I cupriferous fluids in stage III vein have the homogenization temperatures and salinity of 168$^{\circ}$ to 365$^{\circ}$C and 1.1 to 9.0 wt.% NaCI equiv. These fluid inclusions in stage III veins were trapped in quartz veins containing highly fractured breccia, indicating the predominance of boiling evidence. This corresponds to hydrostatic pressure of 50 to 80 bars. The $\delta$$^{34}S$ value of sulfide minerals increase slightly with paragenetic time and yield calculated $\delta$$^{34}S_{H2S}$ values of 0.8 to 3.7$\textperthousand$. There is no mineralogical evidence that fugacity of oxygen decreased, and it is thought that the oxygen fugacity of the mineralizing fluids have been buffered through reaction with magnetite. We interpreted the range of the calculated $\delta$$^{34}S_{H2S}$ values for sulfides to represent the incorporation of sulfur from two sources into the Xiaoxinancha Cu-Au hydrothermal fluids: (1) an isotopically light source with a $\delta$$^{34}S$ value of I to 2$\textperthousand$, probably a Mesozoic granitoid related to the ore mineralization. We can infer from the fact that diorite as the host rock in the Xiaoxinancha Cu-Au deposit area intruded plagiogranite; (2) an isotopically heavier source with a $\delta$$^{34}S$ value of > 4.0$\textperthousand$, probably the local porphyry.

Background:It has been suggested that the cyclooxygenase metabolites play an important role in changes of early hemodynamic parameters in the endotoxin-induced acute lung injury. But there have been many debates about their role in the late increase of alveolar-capillary permeability, and it is not known whether they act directly or indirectly through oxygen free radicals which have been known to be produced during the metabolic process of cyclooxygenase pathway. So we performed this study to identify the pathogenetic role of cyclooxygenase metabolites in the endotoxin-induced acute lung injury in domestic pigs. Method: We infused endotoxin into 8 domestic pigs; endotoxin only (n=3), and pretreatment with indomethacin (n=5). We observed the sequential changes in hemodynamic parameters, the concentration of plasma oxidized glutathione (GSSG) in pulmonary arterial and venous blood, and albumin content in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Results: 1) While cardiac output decreased, mean pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance, and alveolar-arterial oxygen difference increased over phase 1 (0-2hr) and phase 2 (2-4.5hr) by endotoxin, indomethacin attenuated the decrease in cardiac output during phase 1 and increase in mean pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance, and alveolar-arterial oxygen difference during both phases. 2) The increase in plasma GSSG content during phase 2 was not attenuated by indomethacin. 3) The content of BALF albumin was significantly lower in indomethacin groups than that of endotoxin group. Conclusion: These results suggest that it is likely that cyclooxygenase metabolites have an effect on endotoxin-induced acute lung injury during both phases probably through direct action.

Titanium dioxides nanoparticles coated aluminum oxide powders were fabricated by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) with Nd : YAG laser at 266 nm. The Pulse laser energy is 100 mJ/pulse. During the irradiation of the focused laser on the $TiO_2$ target, Ar gas is supplied into the chamber. The gas pressure is varied in a range of $1{\times}10^{-2}$ to 100 Pa. Titanium dioxides nanoparticles deposited aluminum oxide powders were characterized by using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), in order to understand the effect of Ar background gas on surface morphology and properties of the powders. The coated $TiO_2$ nanoparticles had nanosized spherical shape and the crystallite sizes of 10~30 nm. The morphology of coated $TiO_2$ nanoparticles is not affected by gas pressure. However, the particle size and crystallinity slightly increased with the increase of gas pressure. According to this technique, the size and crystallinity of nanoparticles can be easily controlled by controlling pressure during the laser irradiation.

Phase formation and electrical conduction behavior of Ba-doped LaBaGa $O_4$ layered perovskite were studied. Orthorhombic single phase of $K_2$Ni $F_4$-type structure was observed for the composition range of 0$\leq$x$\leq$0.2 in the La$\_$1＋x/Ba$\_$1＋x/Ga $O_4$$\_$4-$\delta$/ system by X-ray analysis. In the dry atmosphere, La$\_$0.8/Ba$\_$1.2/Ga$\_$3.9/ exhibited mixed conduction of oxygen ion and hole (p-type) at high p( $O_2$). However, in water vapor containing atmosphere, it showed proton conduction due to the incorporation of water into oxygen vacancies. As the temperature decreased, the contribution of proton conductivity to the total conduction increased and proton conduction was dominant below 350$^{\circ}C$. The activation energy for proton conduction was calculated as 0.72 eV.

Zeolite X adsorbents with large surface area were prepared for using oxygen PSA adsorbent. Selective adsorption performance of nitrogen on the synthesized zeolite X adsorbent was improved by the cation exchange of adsorbent. The zeolite X which had over $650m^2/g$ surface area was synthesized at the conditions of $SiO_2\;:\;Na_2O\;:\;H_2O\;:\;Al_2O_3$ = 2.5 : 3.5 : 150 : 1 mole ratio, $98^{\circ}C$ temperature and 18 h synthesized time in 50 L reactor. The metal ions Li, Ag, Ca, Br, Sr, etc. were investigated for ion exchange with zeolite X. Ag ion was showed the highest ion exchange rate among these metal ions and all metal ions were exchanged with Na ion at equivalent rate. Compared with the NaX adsorbent, the ion exchanged zeolite X adsorbent remarkably improved its adsorption performance of nitrogen at the conditions of $10{\sim}40^{\circ}C$ temperature and 0~9 atm pressure. At an equilibrium pressure under 0.5 atm, adsorption performance of nitrogen on the ion exchanged zeolite adsorbent increased in the order of Ag > Li > Ca > Sr> Ba > K, whereas at an equilibrium pressure over 1 atm showed in the order of Li > Ag > Ca > Sr > Ba > K. Nitrogen/oxygen separation factor of Li ion exchanged zeolite X adsorbent was 13.023 at the partial pressure of nitrogen/oxygen gas mixture similar to air and $20^{\circ}C$ adsorption temperature.

Lignite of low rank coal and petroleum coke of high sulfur content can be high potential energy sources for coal gasification process because of their plentiful supply. The kinetic study of steam gasification has been performed in an atmospheric thermobalance with wood chip, lignite, bituminous, anthracite, pet-coke. The effects of gasification temperature($600{\sim}850^{\circ}C$) and partial pressure of steam(30~90 kPa) on the gasification rate have been investigated. The modified volumetric reaction model was applied to the experimental data to describe the behavior of carbon conversion and to evaluate the needed kinetic parameters. Lignite and wood chip with high volatile content showed high average gasification rates comparing to other fuel and thus they might be proper fuel for gasification processes. The activation energies for wood chip, lignite, bituminous, anthracite, and pet-coke through Arrhenius plot were found to be 260.3, 167.9, 134.6, 82.2, 168.9 kJ/mol, respectively. The expression of apparent reaction rates for steam gasification of various chars have been proposed as basic information for the design of coal gasification processes.

Characteristics of pyrolysis, partial oxidation, combustion of chlorella, which is one species of micro-algae, were determined by using thermobalance reactor(I.D. 5.5 cm, Height 1 m). Effect of reaction temperature($500{\sim}800^{\circ}C$), water content in chlorella(0~60%), and oxygen content(0~21vol%) on thermal decomposition of chlorella were also determined and analyzed to investigate the kinetic characteristics of pyrolysis, partial oxidation and combustion. As the temperature and partial pressure increases, the carbon conversion increases. In case of pyrolysis, carbon conversion and reactivity sharply decreased with increasing moisture content. However, carbon conversion and reactivity decreased at 60% water content in case of partial oxidation and combustion. As reaction temperature and oxygen content increased, carbon conversion increased and the combustion reaction rate equation for chlorella has been presented. $\frac{dX}{dt}=(7.41{\times}10^{-1})$exp$\left(-\frac{19600}{RT}\right)(P_{O_{2}})^{0.209}(1-X)^{2/3}$.

The Sanjeon Au-Ag deposit consists of three subparallel hydrothermal quartz-calcite veins which filled fault-related fractures (generally $N20^{\circ}$ to 35"W-trending and $70^{\circ}$ to $80^{\circ}$ SW-dipping) within quartz porphyry. The vein mineralization shows an apparent variation of mineral assemblages with paragenetic time: (1) early, white quartz + pyrite + arsenopyrite + brown sphalerite, (2) middle, white (vein) to clear quartz (vug) + base-metal sulfides + electrum + argentite, (3) late, calcite + pyrite + native silver. Mineralogic and fluid inclusion data indicate that gold-silver minerals were deposited at temperatures from 2l $0^{\circ}$ to $250^{\circ}$ with salinities of 4 to 5 wt. % equiv. NaCl and log fS2 values from -14.0 to -12.2 atm. The linear relationship between homogenization temperature and salinity data indicates that gold-silver deposition was a result of meteoric water mixing. Ore mineralization occurred at pressure conditions of about 70 bars, which corresponds to the mineralization depths of about 260 m to 700 m. There is a remarkable decrease of the calculated 1)180 values of water from 1.3 to -9.7%0 in hydrothermal fluid with increasing paragenetic time. This indicates a progressive increase of meteoric water influx in the hydrothermal system at the Sanjeon deposit. Oxygen-hydrogen, sulfur, and carbon isotope values of hydrothermal fluids indicate that the ore mineralization was formed largely from meteoric waters with the contribution of sulfur and carbon from a deep igneous source.

Background: Predicting the important role of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression on the acute ischemia-reperfusion injury, we set out to demonstrate it by assessing the degree of expression of ICAM-1 after warm ischemia-reperfusion in canine unilateral lung ischemia model. Material and Method: Left unilateral lung ischemia was induced by clamping the left hilum for 100 minutes in seven adult mongrel dogs. After reperfusion, various hemodynamic pararmeters and blood gases were analyzed for 4 hours, while intermittently clamping the right hilum in order to allow observation of the injured Ieft lung function. The pulmonary venous blood was collected serially to measure TNF- and cICAM-1 level. After 4 hours of reperfusion, the lung tissue was biopsied to assess cICAM-1 expression, and to measure tissue malondialdehyde(MDA) and ATP level. Result: The parameters including arterial oxygen partial pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance and tissue MDA and ATP level suggested severe lung damage. Serum TNF-$\alpha$ level was 8.76$\pm$2.37 ng/ml at 60 minutes after reperfusion and decreased thereafter. The cICAM-1 level showed no change after the reperfusion during the experiment. The tissue cICAM-1 expression was confirmed in 5 dogs. Conclusion: The increase of TNF-$\alpha$ Ievel and expression of tissue ICAM-1 were demonstrated after ischemia reperfusion injury in canine lung model.

300MW 급 태안 IGCC 가스화 플랜트 및 기존 발전소에 CCS 를 설치할 경우에 대해 기술 타당성 검증을 목적으로 CCS 모델링을 수행하였다. CCS Case Studies 는 플랜트 운전부하에 따른 $CO_2$ 제거율, $H_2S$ 제거율, 소모동력 범위 등 플랜트 성능을 예측할 수 있다. Case Studies 결과를 활용하여 설계된 CCS 설비 용량이 운전범위에 적합한지를 판단할 수 있고 과잉 설계되었을 경우 플랜트 건설비를 절감할 수 있다. IGCC 가스화 플랜트에서 생산되는 합성가스의 $CO_2$ 분압, 목표 $CO_2$ 제거율, 경제성을 기준으로 적합한 CCS 공정을 판단한 결과 Selexol 공정이 선정되었다. Selexol 공정은 고압, 고농도의 산성가스 제거에 적합하며 다른 물리적 용매인 Rectisol 공정에 비해 건설비용이 경제적이고 화학 흡수제인 아민과 비교하여 운전 온도 범위가 넓다. CO, $H_2O$ 를 $CO_2$, $H_2$ 로 전환하는 Water Gas Shift Reaction (WGSR) 공정은 Co/Mo 촉매 반응기로 구성되었고 Selexol 공정은 $H_2S$ Absorber, $H_2S$ Stripper, $CO_2$ Absorber, $CO_2$ Flash Drum 로 구성되었다. WGSR+Selexol 모델링은 Wet Scrubber 후단의 합성가스 (40.5 bar, $136{\sim}139^{\circ}C$) 를 대상으로 하였다. WGSR+Selexol 공정 운전 조건 변화 [Process Design Case(PDC), Equipment Design Case(EDC), Turndown Design Case(TDC)] 에 따른 플랜트 모델링 결과를 비교분석 하였다. 주요 분석 내용은 WGSR 설비에서의 CO 의 $CO_2$ 전환 효율, Selexol 설비에서 $CO_2$ 제거 효율, $H_2S$ 제거 효율이다. 모델링 결과 WGSR 설비에서의 CO 의 $CO_2$ 로의 전환율 99.1% 이상, Selexol 설비에서 $CO_2$ 제거율은 91.6% 이상, $H_2S$ 제거율 100%이었다. CCS 설비 설치에 따른 플랜트 성능 영향을 분석하기 위해서 CCS 설비의 Chiller, Compressor, Pump 소비동력을 계산하였다. 모델링 결과 Chiller 는 2.6~8.5 MWth, Compressor 는 3.0~9.6 MWe, Pump 는 1.4~3.0 MWe 범위 이었다. 플랜트 로드가 50%인 TDC 소모동력은 플랜트 로드가 100%인 PDC 소모동력의 절반 수준이었다. 합성가스를 WGS+Selexol 공정을 통해 수소가스로 전환시키면 가스터빈 연료가스의 Lower Heating Value (LHV) 값이 평균 11.5% 감소하였다.
