Due to the large specific surface area and great reactivity toward environmental contaminants, nanocrystalline mackinawite (FeS) has been widely applied for the remediation of contaminated groundwater and soil. Furthermore, nanocrystalline FeS is rather thermodynamically stable against anoxic corrosion, and its reactivity can be regenerated continuously by the activity of sulfate-reducing bacteria. However, nanocrystalline mackinawite is prone to either spread out along the groundwater flow or cause pore clogging in aquifers by particle aggregation. Accordingly, this mineral should be modified for the application of permeable reactive barriers (PRBs). In this study, coating methods were investigated by which mackinawite nanoparticles were deposited on the surface of alumina or activated alumina. The amount of FeS coating was found to significantly vary with pH, with the highest amount occurring at pH ~6.9 for both minerals. At this pH, the surfaces of mackinawite and alumina (or activated alumina) were oppositely charged, with the resultant electrostatic attraction making the coating highly effective. At this pH, the coating amounts by alumina and activated alumina were 0.038 and 0.114 $mmol{\cdot}FeS/g$, respectively. Under anoxic conditions, arsenite sorption experiments were conducted with uncoated alumina, uncoated activated alumina, and both minerals coated with FeS at the optimal pH for comparison of their reactivity. Uncoated activated alumina showed the higher arsenite removal compared to uncoated alumina. Notably, the arsenite sorption capacity of activated alumina was little changed by the coating with FeS. This might be attributed to the abundance of highly reactive hydroxyl functional groups (${\equiv}$AlOH) on the surface of activated alumina, making the arsenite sorption by the coated FeS unnoticeable. In contrast, the arsenite sorption capacity of alumina was found to increase substantially by the FeS coating. This was due to the consumption of the surface hydroxyl functional groups on the alumina surface and the subsequent occurrence of As(III) sorption by the coated FeS. Alumina, on the surface area basis, has about 8 times higher FeS coating amount and higher As(III) sorption capacity than silica. This study indicates that alumina is a better candidate than silica for the coating of nanocrystalline mackinawite.

알루미나 졸에 평균 25nm의 TiO$_2$(Degussa P25) 광 촉매 분말을 분산하여 광촉매 코팅제를 제조하였다. 점도 약 24 cps를 가지 4.4 wt%의 알루미나 졸로부터 약 300nm 두께의 코팅막이 제조되었으며, 졸 점도의 증가에 비례하여 코팅막의 두께도 증가하였다. TiO$_2$광 촉매의 코팅용 바인더로 이용한 알루미나 졸의 결정형은 25~30$0^{\circ}C$에서 pseudo boehmite (AlOOH)이었으며, 50$0^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 ${\gamma}$-Al$_2$O$_3$으로 전환되었다. AlOOH/TiO$_2$코팅막은 oleic acid와 humic acid에 대한 기상 및 수상 조건에서의 광 촉매 실험에서 우수한 유기물의 광분해 효능을 나타내었다. 아울러 EGI(Electro-Galvanized Iron)에 코팅된 AlOOH/TiO$_2$코팅막은 내식성 및 내지문성의 효과도 부수적으로 나타내었다.

광통신에는 광신호의 전송과 광신호 처리에 처리 과정에서 광 손실을 수반하므로 각 요소별로 광신호 증폭이 반드시 필요하다. 또한 광통신망의 완전 광화를 위해서는 제조 공정이 간단하여 가격이 저렴하고, 높은 신뢰성과 높은 증폭 효율을 가지면서 다른 부품과의 집적화가 가능한 광도파로형 광증폭기가 요구되고 있다 그러나 실리카는 광통신 파장대인 1.55$\mu\textrm{m}$대역의 증폭이 가능한 Er 이온에 대한 용해도가 50ppm 이하로 낮아 lmol% 이상 고농도로 Er 이온을 첨가하여 높은 증폭 효율을 얻는데 한계를 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Er 이온에 대하여 높은 용해 특성을 가지고 있어 고농도 Er 이온 도핑이 가능한 알루미나에 Er을 1-2 mol% 첨가하여 광발광 특성을 조사하였다. Er이 첨가된 알루미나 나노 졸은 Al(NO$_3$)$_3$ㆍ9$H_2O$와 Er(NO$_3$)$_3$.5$H_2O$가 일정 양 용해된 수용액에 NH$_4$OH를 가하여 침전물을 얻고 여과 및 수세하여 졸 입자의 함량이 약 5wt%가 되게 이온교환수와 해교제인 초산을 소량 가하여 10$0^{\circ}C$에서 약 50시간 열처리하는 방법으로 제조하였다. Er이 첨가된 알루미나 코팅막은 Er 이 첨가된 알루미나 나노 졸에 GPS(3-glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane)를 Al에 대하여 7 mol% 가하여 스핀 코팅법으로 제조하였다. Si 기판에 코팅하고, 상온에서 90$0^{\circ}C$까지 각 1시간 열처리한 코팅막의 광 발광 특성은 Er 이온의 첨가량과 열처리로 변화된 알루미나 코팅막의 결정상과 연계하여 논의 될 것이다. X-선 회절법으로 분석한 알루미나 코팅막의 온도에 따른 결정상은 boehmite 상에서 약 50$0^{\circ}C$이후에 ${\gamma}$-Al$_2$O$_3$로 전이하고 있다.

Ni-coated alumina was prepared by sonochemical method. To increase an efficiency of Ni coating on alumina, amorphous alumina was prepared by sol-gel method and Ni was coated to fine particles of alumina. Ni-coated alumina was prepared from various calcination temperatures ($500^{\circ}C$, $1,000^{\circ}C$), concentrations of Ni solution (0.01 M~0.2 M) and sonochemical reaction times (30 min, 2h). The prepared fine particles were characterized by X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES), and Particle Size Analyzer (PSA). The coating amount of Ni increased, as Ni concentration and ultrasonication time increased. The maximum amount of Ni was coated to fine particles of alumina, when Ni-coated alumina was prepared with 0.1 M concentration of Ni solution for 2 h of sonication time at $1000^{\circ}C$ of calcination temperature. The average particle size was in the range of 835.9 to 986.7 nm.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the application of nano-structured alumina coating to the surface of Y-TZP could enhance the bond strength with resin cement. Materials and methods: A total of 80 zirconia plates were prepared and divided into four groups. : 1) airborne particle abrasion treatment (A) : 2) Rocatec treatment after airborne particle abrasion (R) : 3) nano-structured alumina coating treatment after polishing (PC) and 4) nano-structured alumina coating after airborne particle abrasion (AC). Alumina coating was formed by the hydrolysis of aluminium nitride (AlN) powder and heat treatment at $900^{\circ}C$. Coating patterns were observed with FE-SEM. Resin block was bonded to treated zirconia ceramics using resin cement. The shear bond strengths were measured before and after thermocycling. Results: The FE-SEM images show a dense and uniform nano-structured alumina coating structure, which enhances shear bond strength by increasing micro mechanical interlocking to resin cement. PC and AC groups showed higher shear bond strengths than A and R groups before and after thermocycling. A and R groups displayed significant drops in shear bond strength after thermocycling. However, PC and AC groups did not show any meaningful decreases in shear bond strength after thermocycling. Conclusion: Treatment of Y-TZP ceramics with nano-structured alumina coating could significantly increase their shear bond strength.

In this study, we have studied synthesis of zirconia-alumina composite coating materials via a low-temperature sol-gel process. The zirconia-alumina composites were prepared by coating zirconia precursor, alumina precursor, and organosilane mixture on a polyethylene terephthalate substrate through three steps: sol-gel process, low-temperature photocuring process, and heat treatment process. The structural properties and element analysis of the composites were confirmed by FT-IR and XPS. The coated composite showed a transmittance of 96% or more in the visible light region with a wavelength of 420 nm or more and pencil hardness of 9H or more. In case of the composite of the molar ratio of zirconia and alumina of 1:4, the highest nanoindentation hardness was measured with 1.212 GPa.

Hydrogen reduction technique was used to form the nickel layer onto alumina powders in nickel sulfate solutions. The reduction rate and precipitation states of nickel ions were investigated at various experimental conditions such as hydrogen pressure, temperature, $PdCl_{2}$ addition, particle size, and so on. Uniformly nickel coated alumina composite powders were obtained at such condition as reduction temperature of $165^{\circ}C$, hydrogen pressure of 300 psi, and $PdCl_{2}$ amount of $2\;mg/\ell$.
