The hexavalent chromium ions in wastewater are highly toxic chemicals even at low concentrations. It causes serious diseases, such as cancer, skin disease, digestive trouble et. al. In this study, $Cr^{6+}$ ions were removed by using borosilicate glasses. Various glasses system with different compositions were prepared and then reacted in a solution contaning $Cr^{6+}$ ions. After the reaction, the concentration of the $Cr^{6+}$ ions remained in the solution was measured by ICP-OES. The reacted surface of the glasses was also analyzed by using a XRD, SEM, and EDS. When $Na_2O-RO-SiO_2-B_2O_3$ (RO=MgO, CaO, SrO, BaO) glasses were reacted with a solution containing $Cr^{6+}$ ions, the optimum removal efficiency of $Cr^{6+}$ ions was observed in the BaO glass. $Ba^{2+}$ ions leached out of these glasses combine with $Cr^{6+}$ ions in a solution to form $BaCrO_4$ crystals on the glass surface. In this manner, the $Cr^{6+}$ ions can be removed from the solution. It is conceivable that $Ba^{2+}$ ions are reacted with $Cr^{6+}$ ions in a solution immedeately after leaching out of the glasses. The pH of the solution for optimum removal of $Cr^{6+}$ ions were 3.0~5.0.

Recently, remote phosphors have been reported for application to white LEDs to provide enhanced phosphor efficiency compared with conventional phosphor-based white LEDs. In this study, a remote phosphor was produced by coating via screen printing on a glass substrate with different numbers of phosphor coating. The paste consists of phosphor, lowest softening glass frits, and organic binders. The remote phosphor could be well controlled by varying the phosphor content rated paste. After mounting the remote phosphor on top of a blue LED chip, CCT, CRI, and luminance efficiency were measured and values of 5300 K, 62, and 117 lm/W were respectively obtained in the 80 wt% phosphor with 3 coating layers sintered at $800^{\circ}C$.

We investigated the influence of several processes, including the preparation of slurry and preform and the heat-treatment of the preform, on the properties of composites to fabricate the carbon-fiber reinforced glass composites having good mechanical properties. Cerander was determined to be the best binder among Cerander, Rhoplex and Elvacite 2045 by the dipping test and the binder within a preform could be completely eliminatd by burning out the specimen under 10-6 Torr at 400$^{\circ}C$ for more than 1h. The fracture behavior of a composite was largely dependent on the uniformity of carbon-fiber distribution within the composite and the heat-treatment condition of the composite. The higher the glass content, the more difficult to obtain uniform distribution of carbon-fiber. As the hot-pressing temperature increased, the densification process of the composite and the formation of pore due to oxidation of carbon fiber occurred competitively. But, above 1000$^{\circ}C$ the latter played a predominant role. We could fabricated the densest 15 vol.% carbon-fiber-content glass composite having the highest toughness and flexural strength of 250 MPa by hot-pressing under 15 MPa at 900$^{\circ}C$ for 30 min.

The effects of content and particle size of sewage sludge slag on the sound absorption was investigated and the physical$.$mechanical properties of porous ceramics for sound absorbent material was studied. The physical$.$mechanical properties of specimens have depended on sintering temperature and slag content without particle size effect of slag. As water glass content increase and particle size of slag decrease at the same slag content, physical$.$mechanical properties of them have been improved. The bulk density and compressive strength of specimens with the batch composition of 77∼89 wt% of slag content and particles with 1∼3 mm, and sintered at 1,050$^{\circ}C$ for 2 h were 1.48∼1.71 and 86∼163 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, respectively. The specimens with 1∼3 mm and <1 mm of particles size showed good sound absorption property at low frequency and high frequency region. With increasing thickness of specimens, sound absorption properties at low frequency region were increased.

The object of this study is to find the optimum conditions for crystal growth and kinds of crystal in ZnO-Al2O3-SiO2 glass composition. At first, the base glass composed of ZnO (44.7%), Al2O3(14.0%) and SiO2(41.3%) was melted in propane gas furnace at 1450-150$0^{\circ}C$ for an hour, and then it was poured into the stainless steel mould heated previously at $600^{\circ}C$ to obtain the thin glass test piece. Four crystal forms from base glass such as stuffed keatite, zinc orthosilicate, zinc aluminosilicate, and cristobalite were crystallized during heat treatment between 80$0^{\circ}C$ and 110$0^{\circ}C$. For the investigation of crystal growth, X-ray diffractometer and thermal differential analysis were used and the growth rate of the four crystal forms were obtained by the method of Archimedes specific gravity and intensity comparison of X-ray diffraction peak. The results obtained were as follows. 1) Stuffed keatite peaks which started to appear after two hours at 80$0^{\circ}C$ were maximum after 11 hours and this crystal breaks down to willemite irreversibly at about 100$0^{\circ}C$. 2) Development of gahnite started at 85$0^{\circ}C$ and increased with temperature growth. 3) Stuffed keatite which had been transformed slowly into willemite at 100$0^{\circ}C$ was decreased with time and willemite increased until four hours. 4) Cristobalite began to be developed after treatment of 110$0^{\circ}C$.

X-선 튜브는 의료 영상 및 치료, 산업용 제전 장치, 비파괴 X-선 영상 장치 등에서 사용되는데 기존의 열전자원을 이용한 X-선 튜브와는 달리, 냉음극형 X-선 튜브는 빠른 속도의 디지털 구동이 가능하며 전력 소비가 낮은 장점이 있다. 따라서, 최근 많은 연구자들에 의해서 냉음극형 X-선 튜브에 관한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 냉음극형 X-선 튜브는 전계 방출을 이용한 전자원을 사용하며, 탄소나노튜브 (CNT), Si, 다양한 종류의 나노선 등이 대표적이다. 그 중에서 CNT는 높은 종횡비로 인해 전계 방출 특성이 우수하여 가장 대표적인 물질이다. CNT를 이용한 전자원을 제작하기 위해서는 직접 성장법, 전기영동법, 스크린 프린팅법, 디핑법 등 다양한 방법이 존재한다. 직접 성장법을 제외한 방법들은 모재료인 CNT와 용매, 금속재료들을 섞어 페이스트나 수용액의 상태를 제작하여야 한다. 이 때, 금속 재료는 기판과 CNT간의 접착 및 전자 전도 통로의 역할을 하는 무기 충전제이며 일반적으로 나노 혹은 수 마이크로미터 크기의 상태로 존재하는 것을 주로 사용한다. X-선 튜브 제작은 일반적으로 외벽을 유리 혹은 세라믹을 주로 사용하는데 아노드 전극 및 캐소드 전극 등과 결합하여 진공 밀봉된 형태가 되어야 한다. 브레이징 방법은 금속과 세라믹을 결합하는데 매우 유용한 방법이며, 그 중에서도 진공 브레이징 방법은 다량의 부품을 한 번에 결합시킬 수 있다. 하지만 진공 브레이징 공정의 온도는 약 $700{\sim}1,000^{\circ}C$이며 이는 금속 재료가 충분히 증발할 수 있는 온도가 된다. 본 발표에서는 고온 진공 상태에서의 무기 충전제의 증발에 대한 현상을 관찰하고 고온진공 상태에서 증발없이 무기 충전제로의 역할을 할 수 있도록 다양한 금속 및 합금에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 또한, 이 연구를 통해 선택된 무기 충전제를 포함하여 CNT 페이스트를 볼밀링 방법을 이용하여 제작하였으며, 이를 이용한 CNT 에미터가 X-선 튜브의 전자원으로 사용될 수 있는지 확인하기 위해 전계 방출 실험을 함께 실시하였다. 제작된 CNT 에미터가 우수한 전계 방출 특성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였으며, 이는 본 연구를 통해 선택된 금속 및 합금 재료가 무기 충전제로의 역할을 잘 수행하고 있음을 보여준다.

3D printing technology of construction field can be divided into structural materials, interior and exterior finishing materials, and is mainly done by extruding and adapting. Particularly when it is applied as an exterior materials, it is mainly applied to an unstructured exterior materials and high accuracy is required. The exterior materials can be used as a cement composite materials, it is suitable also for a additive type manufacturing, and the role of a redispersible polymer powder is important. But, high temperatures, redispersible polymer cement base material beget dehydration and micro crack of cement matrix. In this research, we developed a EVA, EVCL redispersible polymer cement base material applicable as a 3D printing exterior materials, confirmed density and strength characteristics for application as an exterior materials, a flame retardancy test for improving the fire resistance of buildings and confirmed its possibility. From the test result, developed EVCL redispersible polymer cement mortar showed good stability in high temperatures. These high temperature stability is caused by the ethylene-vinyl chloride binding. Thus, this result indicates that it is possible to fire resistant 3D printing interior and exterior finishing materials.

To verify the quality of bubbles during the use of quartz glass crucibles (QC), an appropriate accelerated testing method was proposed. The bubble state of discarded waste crucibles obtained from actual Czochralski (Cz) processes was analyzed, and optimal heat treatment conditions were suggested by varying temperature, pressure, and time using the QC test piece. By subjecting the samples to heat treatment at 1450℃, 0.4 Torr, and 40 hours, it was possible to control the bubble size and density to a similar level as those generated in the actual Cz process. In particular, by selecting a relatively lower pressure of 0.4 Torr compared to the typical range of 10~20 Torr applied in the Cz process, the time required for accelerated bubble formation testing could be reduced. However, it was determined that increasing the heat treatment temperature to 1550℃ led to the phenomenon of Ostwald ripening, resulting in larger bubbles and a rapid decrease in density. Therefore, it was concluded that it was not a suitable condition for the desired b ake test.

Gallium-doped ZnO (GZO) films were deposited on soda-lime glass substrate without heating using Ne, Ar, or Kr gas. Electrical properties of GZO films deposited at various total gas pressures were investigated for the film positions corresponding to the erosion region (region B) and outside the erosion region (region A) of the target. Region B showed high resistivity, which was attributed to the decrease in carrier density and Hall mobility, compared to region A. GZO films deposited using Ne gas showed the degradation in resistivity and crystallinity, whereas, GZO films deposited using Kr gas showed the improvement in resistivity and crystallinity. This degradation in film properties could be attributed to the film damage caused by the bombardment of high-energy particles. Especially, the energies of recoiled neutral atoms ($Ne^0,\;Ar^0,\;Kr^0$) calculated by Monte Carlo simulation corresponded to experimental results.

The ceramic microfiltration system with periodic $N_2$-back-flushing was operated for treating paper wastewater discharged from a company making toilet papers by recycling milk or juice cartons. Two kinds of alumina membranes with 7 channels used here for recycling paper wastewater. The optimal filtration time interval for HC04 membrane with $0.4{\mu}m$ pore size was lower value of 4 min than 16 min for HC10 with $1.0{\mu}m$ pore size at fixed back-flushing time 40 sec, trans-membrane pressure $1.0kg_f/cm^2$ and back-flushing pressure $5.0kg_f/cm^2$. From the results of TMP effect at fixed filtration time interval and back-flushing time, the lower TMP was better on membrane fouling because high TMP could make easily membrane cake and fouling inside membrane structure. However, we could acquire the highest volume of total permeate at the highest TMP for the reason that TMP was driving force in our filtration system to treat paper wastewater. Then the permeate water of low turbidity was acquired in our microfiltration system using multi channels ceramic membranes, and the treated water could be reused in paper process.
