Martian satellite missions indicate that Martian equatorial plains are covered by ferric iron oxide. As a non-destructive technique, low-temperature treatment of remanent magnetization is effective in identifying magnetic minerals in rocks. In the present study, four sets of ferric iron oxides were prepared by aqueous alteration of ferrihydrite at warm conditions and four others by dehydration of goethite. As the amount of aluminous trivalent cations increases, crystallographic lattice parameters and N$\acute{e}$el temperatures decrease. Such declines originate from lattice distortion as the smaller aluminous trivalent cations substitue the larger terric irons. Whilst high remanence memory was observed for aqueously produced ferric iron oxide, low remanence memory was observed for dehydrated ferric iron oxide. In the future. magnetic remanence memory would be powerful in diagnosing the origin of ferric iron oxide.

A study on the cementation for the recovery of tin with aluminium in the hydrochloric acid solution was carried out. Parameters, such as aluminium metal equivalent, pH, reaction time, reaction temperature and the concentration of chloride ions were investigated. The experimental results showed that the cementation rate of Sn(II) ions increased with increase of the addition amount of aluminium powders, temperature, pH and the concentration of chloride ions in hydrochloric acid solution. From the results, the optinum conditions for recovery of metallic tin by cementation with aluminium metal powders were proposed.

Theoretical consideration on the combustion behavior of nano-aluminum and water mixture was conducted. The regions are divided into; 1)water+aluminum 2)steam+aluminum 3)reaction zone. Latent heat of vaporization was considered as a function of pressure in case of phase change of water. Also, pressure exponent was studied of various sized nano particles within the range of 0.1MPa ~ 10MPa.

알루미늄 자체에 대한 질화 기술의 어려움 때문에 현재까지는 AlN 분말을 이용한 소결 공정을 통하여 주요 부품의 제작이 되어 왔으며. Al 질화 기술보다는 아노다이징과 같은 표면 산화 공정 또는 도금과 같은 기술이 선호되어 왔다. 알루미늄 질화 기술이 잘 사용되지 않았던 이유는 알루미늄 표면에 2 5 nm 두께로 존재하는 치밀한 산화층의 높은 안정성 때문에 질화반응이 어렵기 때문이다. 이 알루미늄 산화물의 안정성은 질화물에 비교하여 5 배까지 높으며, 이런 경향은 온도가 높아짐에 따라 더욱 커지기 때문이다. 특히, 알루미늄의 낮은 기계적 물성을 향상시키기 위해서는 충분히 깊은 두께로 형성되어야 할 필요성이 높으나 알루미늄에 대한 질소의 고용도가 거의 없고 확산 계수가 매우 낮기 때문에 충분히 두꺼운 질화층의 형성이 어렵기 때문이다. 결국, 알루미늄 질화가 가능하기 위해서는 표면의 산화층을 없애야 하며, 알루미늄이 AlN이 되려는 속도는 $Al_2O_3$를 만드려는 속도보다 매우 느리므로, 잔존 산소량을 최소화 할 필요성이 있어서 고진공 분위기에서 처리되어야 한다. 일반적으로 알루미늄 질화를 위해서는 $10^{-6}\;torr$ 이하의 고진공도의 챔버가 필요하며 고순도의 반응 가스를 사용하여야 한다. 그러나 이러한 고진공하에서는 낮은 이온밀도 때문에 신속질화가 기존의 공정시간인 20시간동안, AlN층이 5um이하로 형성되었다. 본 연구에서, 알루미늄의 질화에 있어서, 표면층에 높은 전류를 걸어주어, 용융상태로 만들어주는 것이 좋다는 연구 결과를 얻었으며, 이를 토대로 신속질화를 위하여 전류밀도(전력량)에 따라 알루미늄 질화층의 형성 정도를 연구하였다. SEM, EDS, XRD등을 통해 Al의 표면에 플라즈마 질화를 통해 Al에 질소의 함유량이 증가하는 것을 확인하였으며 광학현미경을 통해 질화층의 두께와 표면조직을 확인하였다. Al 시편의 표면을 효과적으로 활성화할 수 있는 $400^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 전류밀도(전력량)와 시간의 변화에 따라 질화층이 효과적으로 형성되는 조건과 시간에 따라 두께가 증가하는 경향을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 신속 질화 공정을 통해 2시간 이내의 질화를 통해 40um이상의 AlN층을 형성할 수 있었다.

$NaBH_4$ was added to improve the water reactivity of aluminum powder as a solid propellant for underwater propulsion. Aluminum powders showed different combustion characteristics depending on the amount of $NaBH_4$ added. When $NaBH_4$ was added, it was burned by reaction with water even at a temperature much lower than the boiling point. In this study, it was confirmed that $NaBH_4$ is an effective additive to accelerate the vapor reaction with Al powder.

p-type(100) 실리콘 기판과 TiN(50nm)/Si 기판에 dimethylethylamine alane(DMEAA)을 반응소스로 하여 알루미늄을 증착시켜 증착온도와 유량, 반송가스 종류에 따른 방향성, 증착속도, 미세구조 변화에 대해 연구하였다. 알루미늄의 증착속도는 기판온도, 반송가스 종류 및 유량에 따라 100-650mn/min으로 다양하게 조절되었다. DMEAA의 증착 활성화에너지는 TiN 기판에서는 약 0.leV이었고 Si와 SiO2 기판에서는 각각 약 0.23eV, 0.24eV이었다. 알루미늄 박막의 방향성은 증착속도의 감소에 따라 (200)에서 (111)방향으로 변하였다. 증착된 알루미늄 박막의 불순물 함량은 산소의 경우 0.2at%, 탄소의 경우 1.8at.%이었다. DMEAA 소스에 의한 알루미늄의 증착속도는 반송가스가 Ar 일 때 보다 H2 가스를 사용하면 증착속도가 크게 증가하였으며 이는 반송가스에 의해 SiO2표면의 흡착 H 농도가 증가하고 흡착 H가 소스 가스와 반응하여 핵생성 site 로 작용하는 것으로 생각된다. 알루미늄 박막의 비저항은 표면 미세조직에 크게 영향을 받으며 그 값은 약 3-7$\mu$$\Omega$cm이었다.

The goal of this research was to identify the impact of silicate polymerization on the formation of insoluble aluminiumsilicate salts which could be a cause of irreversible fouling in the membrane process by lab-scale test. For this, the amount and characteristics of precipitates that were formed in six samples with different Al and Si concentration were analyzed. And the particles was also observed by SEM-EDS(Scanning Electron Microscope - Electron Dispersion Spectrophotometer) to compare morphology and ratio of Al and Si in each precipitates. Finally the reactive and nonreactive silicate contents in the solution and precipitates were analyzed to calculate silicate form content in each fraction. The amount of precipitates was in proportion to the total concentration of both element in solution. And the amount of insoluble particle that was not dissolved in the acid solution was recorded the highest in the sample 2 of which Si concentration was lower than the saturation concentration, 50 mg/L. The content of reactive silicate in precipitates was also recorded the highest value in sample 2 of which almost silicate form was reactive. When the silicate concentration is same, that value was recorded the highest in the sample with highest Al concentration. The SEM morphology of the precipitates was similar to that of Aluminiumhydroxide and the insoluble precipitates was not dissolved in acidic solution with pH 2.7 was able to observed only in sample 2. The ratio of Al and Si in the precipitates was ranged $0.48\sim3.14$, thai of sample 2 was recorded the highest value, 3.14. It is concluded that the insoluble aluminiumsilicate could be easily formed in the solution of which silicate exist as a reactive form and coexisting Al is sufficient.

Iron aluminophosphates (FeAlP) with different percentage of iron were synthesized and characterized for their surface and bulk properties. The catalytic activity was determined in the transesterification of diethyl malonate with benzyl alcohol. Benzyl ethylmalonate and dibenzyl malonate were obtained as the only products. FeAlP with 0.025 mole % of iron was found to be distinctly different in its textural and catalytic properties. Formation of diester was found to be favored by the acid sites of intermediate strength. The presence of hydrated alumina and the polycondensed phosphates in the materials reduced the catalytic activity of iron aluminophosphates in transesterification reaction.

The properties of AlN made by carbothermal reaction depend on the starting materials, quantity of liquid, the liquid-vapor phase reaction, the N$_2$ flow rate, and the reaction temperature. AlN whisker was synthesized by the VLS and VS methods. Solid ${\alpha}$-A1$_2$O$_3$(AES-11) was carbothermally reduced with carbon black in a high-purity N$_2$ atmosphere with AlF$_3$ to cause whisker grown and additional aluminum liquid to increase whisker yield. Aluminum nitride was perfectly formed at reaction temperatures of 1600$^{\circ}C$. At reaction temperature higher than 1600$^{\circ}C$ the aluminum nitride was completely formed, while the composition remains unaffected. Needle-shaped whiskers formed best at 1600$^{\circ}C$ while higher temperatures disrupted whisker formation. Adding 0 to 15 wt% aluminum to the synthesis favorably affects the microstructure for formation of needle-shaped AlN whisker. Additions over 15 wt% degraded formation of AlN whisker.

Aluminum dross should be recycled in consideration of characteristics of the dross and its reutilization after processing. In this study, aluminum dross generated in the domestic secondary aluminum industry was processed to use it as raw material for producing aluminum hydroxide. Sample dross was classified according to its size. The dross smaller than $850\mu$m was leached with sodium hydroxide solution to extract the remaining aluminum from the dross into the solution, and then aluminum hydroxide precipitate was recovered (rom the leach liquor. Purity of the obtained aluminum hydroxide was above 98% and size of the sample was in range of $\3~39mu$m. Recovery of aluminum hydroxide precipitate was highest on condition that A/C ratio of the solution was 0.5 and pulp density was 14~16% at the leaching step. From the result, it was suggested that this process could be applicable to recycling of aluminum dross.
