다양한 물질계의 2차원 나노구조는 그래핀과 함께 그 고유특성으로 최근 광전소자, 전자소자, 센서, 에너지 생성 및 저장과 수소에너지 생성 등의 응용으로 매우 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 특히 층상이중수산화물 (layered-double hydroxide; LDH) 2차원 나노구조는 생성의 용이성과 층상 내 금속 이온의 교환을 통한 특성의 자유로운 제어가 가능하므로 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 층상이중수산화물 화합물은 [Zn(1-x) MIII(x)(OH)2][$An-x/n{\cdot}mH2O$] (MIII = Al, Cr, Ga; An- = CO32-, Cl-, NO3-, CH3COO-) 구조로써, Brucite-type 구조 내에서 3가 양이온의 상태에 따라서 다양한 특성을 제어할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이러한 장점으로 인해 층상이중수산화물 화합물은 촉매나, 에너지 저장, 음이온 교환 및 흡착, 화학적 촉매, 바이오 소자 등에 응용이 연구되고 있으며, 다양한 금속 산화물을 제조하기 위한 중간자 precursor로써도 연구되고 있다. 하지만, 이러한 대부분의 연구들을 통한 결과물들이 분말 및 수용액 상태로 남게 되며, 이러한 화합물의 특성을 제어하기 어려운 문제점이 있다. 더욱이 이러한 나노구조물들을 다양한 소자로 응용하기 위해서는 상용의 실리콘이나 glass 등의 기판형태의 물질상에 성장시킬 수 있어야 하며, 그러한 기판 위에서의 형상 및 특성 제어가 용이해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실리콘 기판을 적용한 Zn기반의 층상이중 수산화물 화합물을 성장하고, 하부물질의 조성제어를 통한 층상이중수산화물 화합물의 형상제어가 가능한 기술에 관한 연구를 보고하고자 한다. 이를 위한 하부물질의 조성은 Zn와 Al을 통해 이루어지며, 기형성된 Al2O3박막을 핵형성층으로 활용한다. 이러한 방법으로 형성된 층상이중수산화물 화합물에 대해 이차전자주사현미경, 투과전자현미경 및 X-ray회절기법을 통해 구조분석을 하고, Raman 및 광발광스펙트럼 분석을 통해 광학적 분석을 시행함으로써, 층상이중수산화물이 기판상에서 형성되는 메커니즘에 관한 규명을 시행하였다. 이러한 분석연구를 통해 핵형성층의 에칭 따라 실리콘 기판상에서 성장하는 층상이 중수산화물 화합물의 형상 및 조성이 제어되는 메커니즘을 구명하였다.

This research was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of lanthanum hydroxide for fluoride removal from aqueous solutions. A batch sorption experiments were conducted to study the influence of various factors such as pH, contact time, initial fluoride concentration and temperature on the sorption of fluoride on lanthanum hydroxide. The optimum fluoride removal was observed in the $pH_{eq}{\leq}8.8$. Sorption equilibrium of fluoride on lanthanum hydroxide was better described by the Freundlish isotherm model than by the Langmuir isotherm model. The adsorption energy obtained from D-R model was 9.21 kJ/mol indicating an ion-exchange process as primary adsorption mechanism. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model described well the experimental kinetic data. Thermodynamic parameters such as ${\Delta}Go^{\circ}$, ${\Delta}H^{\circ}$ and ${\Delta}S^{\circ}$ indicated that the nature of fluoride sorption is spontaneous and endothermic. The used lanthanum hydroxide could be regenerated by washing with NaOH solution. Also, the results applied to real ground water indicate that fluoride selectivity and removal capacity of lanthanum hydroxide were superior to those of PA anion-exchange resin.

The starting materials were aluminum hydroxide prepared by precipitation method at the conditions of pH values; 7, 9, 10 and 11. The properties of alumina powder on heat-treatment were studied. After dehydrating structural water from amorphous aluminum hydroxide, the first formed phase was amorphous alumina and its specific surface are was decreased. The specific surface area was increased by dehydration of structural water from aluminum hydroxides except amorphous aluminum hydroxide. The specific surface area was increased with increase of the ratio of A1OOH to $A1(OH)_3$ in the region of transition aluminas. The rate of transition from aluminum hydroxide to alpha alumina occurred in the order of 7, 10, 9 and 11 of pH values. The morphology of alpha alumina powders was skeleton particles remaining outer shape of aluminum hydroxide. Both the elevation of heat-treatment temperature and the transition toalpha alumina decreased specific surface area and brought about the growth of particles.

Conventional coagulation-gravity settling processes in heavy metal removal have a problem in coagulant cost and instability of the settling efficiency. The authors investigated the effects of pH and slow mixing conditions on heavy metal hydroxide precipitation and the particle size distribution of the precipitate for a precipitation-membrane separation process. The optimum pH values for the hydroxide precipitation ranged from 9 to 10. The addition of $FeCl_3$ did not enhance the heavy metal removal. 20 min of slow mixing at 70 rpm showed the maximum heavy metal removal to meet the water quality criteria for effluent discharge. More than 99.9% of the heavy metal precipitate particles were bigger than $2{\mu}m$.

We synthesized the intercalation compound between a layered double hydroxide and an ethyl orange. The orientation of the intercalated ethyl orange into the layered double hydroxide was investigated. The molecular plane of the ethyl orange and its N＝N axis lie nearly perpendicular to the hydroxide layers with an antiparallel pattern.

An investigation on the recovery of nickel from spent electroless plating solutions has been performed using the electrowinning method. For this aim, nickel in spent electroless plating solutions was separated as nickel hydroxide through the addition of caustic soda. Nickel hydroxide was completely dissolved with sulfuric acid and an electrolysis was performed for electrowinning of nickel from nickel solutions. As a result, it was found that more than 99% of nickel in spent electroless plating solutions could be precipitated as nickel hydroxide above pH 10 with the addition of caustic soda. As far as the current efficiency in electrowinning of nickel was concerned, it was decreased with increase in the current density.

Earth outer core is composed of iron mainly with some diluent elements, which account for the observed ca. 10% density deficit compared to the pure iron. Among candidates as the light diluents, hydrogen and oxygen were selected, and the thermodynamic stability of the following reaction was calculated; hematite + hydrogen $\to$ goethite + iron. At ambient conditions, Gibb's free energy of this reaction is 12.62 kJ/mol. On increasing pressure at room temperature, it decreases to zero at 0.068 GPa. This energy decreases at constant rate down to 200 GPa, which shows -208.26 kJ/mol at that pressure. From these results, this chemical reaction prefers the reduction environment forming the iron element and iron oxyhydroxide, so possible presence of iron oxyhydroxide with iron at proto-core can not be ruled out.

Intercalation compounds of alkyl sulfonates into layered double hydroxides (LDH) have been directly synthesized. From the X-ray diffraction data and the alkyl sulfonates size, the orientation of the intercalated alkyl sulfonate into the layered double hydroxide was determined. The intercalated alkyl sulfonate is arranged with molecular chain perpendicular to the hydroxide layer with an antiparallel pattern.

Adsorption experiments of heavy metal cations by Fe- and Al-hydroxides was conducted to obtain clear information on their adsorption mechanisms. The adsorption isothermal curves of heavy metal cations by Fe- and Al-hydroxides conformed to Langmuir's equation. Increasing the crystallinity degree of Fe- and Al-hydroxides tended to decrease the adsorption capacity and binding energy of heavy metal cations. At the same crystallinity degree, Al-hydroxide showed higher adsorption capacity and energy for the heavy metal cations than Fe-hydroxide. The adsorption capacity and energy of heavy metal cations were directly related to CEC, specific surface area and charge density of hydroxides, and the sequence was in the order of $Cu^{+{+}}$ > $Zn^{+{+}}$ > $Cd^{+{+}}$. The adsorption mechanism of $M^{+{+}}$ form of heavy metal could be presumed as the specific adsorption of $M^{+{+}}$ and the desorption of two $H^+$ from the surface aquo($OH_2$) and/or hydroxo(-OH) group for each mole of $M^{+{+}}$ adsorbed. A ring structure between $M^{+{+}}$ and two surface aquo and/or hydroxo groups was postulated. Nonspecific adsorption involved the adsorption of $MCl^+$ and the desorption of one H+ from the surface aquo and/or hydroxo groups for each mole of $M^{+{+}}$ adsorbed. A single bond structure in which $MCl^+$ replaced one $H^+$ from the surface aquo and/or hydroxo groups was postulated. The ratio of specific to nonspecific adsorption increased with increasing pH.
