The purpose of this study was simply to obtain gold through a microwave-nitric acid experiment of invisible gold concentrate with the use of filter paper. For the purpose, this study conducted a microwave-nitric acid leaching experiment and examined nitric acid concentration. As a result of the experiment, this study discovered that Fe, Te and Ag were completely leached in the leaching solution whereas Au was not determined in all of the nitric acid conditions. The leaching solution was filtered with three filter papers and then these filter papers were analyzed with SEM/EDS. As a result of the EDS analysis, Au was detected in all of the surface and cross-section of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd filter papers. As the three filter papers containing solid-residue were analysed in the lead-fire assay, gold particles were found in all of the nitric acid conditions. In the lead-fire assay, maximum gold(452.50g/t) was recovered when nitric acid concentration was 6M and microwave leaching time was 12mins.

To establish optimum drying methods for Korean yam, freeze drying, cool air drying and hot air drying methods were compared by determining some quality criteria. The native color, odor, taste and viscosity of raw yam were preserved by only freeze drying at less than $40^{\circ}C$. The native white color of yam changed to brown and odor and taste of yam decreased largely by cool air drying and hot air drying. Especially cooked and roasted flavor was developed in hot air dried yam. The viscosity of cool and hot air dried yam was about half than that of freeze dried yam. Conclusively freeze drying method was shown optimum to preserve quality properties of yam such as viscosity, color, odor and taste. The physical properties of yam powder such as dispersiveness and solubility was the best in $40{\sim}60{\;}mesh$ particle size.

유기물/무기물 나노 복합체를 이용하여 제작한 메모리 소자는 저전력 구동, 간단한 공정, 플렉서블한 성격과 같은 장점 때문에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 다양한 유기물/무기물 나노 복합체를 이용한 비휘발성 메모리 소자에 대한 연구는 많이 진행되었으나, fullerene 계열의 [6,6]-phenyl-C85 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) 나노 입자와 poly (methylmethacrylate) (PMMA)의 나노 복합체를 사용하여 제작한 유기 쌍안정성 메모리 소자의 전기적 특성과 메커니즘에 대한 연구는 미흡하다. 본 연구에서는 기억층으로 PMMA 박막 안에 분산되어 있는 PCBM 나노 입자를 트랩층으로 사용하는 메모리 소자를 제작하여 전기적 특성 및 안정성에 대하여 관찰하였다. 소자제작을 위하여 PCBM 나노 입자를 PMMA와 함께 용매인 클로로벤젠에 용해한 후에 초음파 교반기를 사용하여 두 물질을 고르게 섞었다. Indium-tin-oxide 가 코팅된 glass위에 PCBM 나노 입자와 PMMA가 섞인 나노 복합체를 스핀 방법으로 적층한 후, 열을 가해 클로로벤젠을 제거하여 PCBM 나노 입자가 PMMA 안에 분산되어 있는 전하 수송 층을 형성하였다. 형성된 전하수송 층 위에 열 증착 방식으로 상부 Al 전극을 형성하여 유기 쌍안정성 메모리 소자를 제작하였다. 제작된 소자의 전류-전압 (I-V) 측정 결과 특정 전하 수송 층의 두께에서는 큰 ON/OFF 전류 비율을 보여준다. PMMA만을 사용한 소자에서는 I-V 메모리 특성이 나타나지 않는 결과로부터 PCBM 나노 입자가 전하 수송 층 내에서 메모리 특성의 역할을 한다는 것을 보여준다. 전류-시간 (I-t) 측정 결과로 소자의 ON/OFF 전류 비율이 시간이 지남에 따라 큰 감쇠 없이 104 s까지 103값을 지속적으로 유지되어 메모리 소자의 안정성을 보여주었다. 실험의 결과로 PCBM이 포함된 메모리 소자의 메커니즘과 전하 수송 층의 두께에 따른 메모리 특성을 설명하였다.

반도체 생산공정에서 CMP (Chemical-mechanical planarization) 공정은 우수한 전기전도성 재료인 Cu의 사용과 다층구조의 소자를 형성하기 위해서 도입되었으며, 최근 소자의 집적도가 증가함에 따라 CMP 공정 비중은 점점 높아지고 있다. Cu CMP 공정에서 연마제인 슬러리는 금속 표면과의 물리적 화학적 반응을 동시에 사용하여 표면을 연마하게 되며, 연마특성을 향상시키기 위해 산화제, 부식방지제, 분산제 및 다양한 계면활성제가 첨가된다. 하지만 슬러리는 Cu 표면을 평탄화하는 동시에 오염입자, 유기오염물, 스크레치, 표면부식 등을 발생시키며 결과적으로 소자의 결함을 야기시킨다. 특히 부식방지제로 사용되는 BTA (Benzotriazole)은 Cu CMP 공정 중 Cu-BTA 형태로 표면에 흡착되어 오염원으로 작용하며 입자오염을 증가시시고 건조공정에서 물반점 등의 표면 결함을 발생시킨다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 Cu 표면에서 식각과 부식반응을 최소화하며, 오염입자 제거 및 유기오염물을 효과적으로 제거하기 위한 Post-CMP 세정 공정과 세정액 개발이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 오염입자 및 유기물 제거와 동시에 표면 거칠기와 부식현상을 제어할 수 있는 post Cu CMP 세정액을 개발 평가하였다. 오염입자 및 유기오염물을 제거하기 위해서 염기성 용액인 TMAH 사용하였으며, Cu 이온을 용해할 수 있는 Chelating agent와 표면 부식을 억제하는 부식 방지제를 사용하여 세정액을 합성하였다. 접촉각 측정과 FESEM(field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope) 분석을 통하여 CMP 공정에서 발생하는 유기오염물과 오염입자의 흡착과 제거를 확인하였으며 Cu 웨이퍼 세정 전후의 표면 거칠기의 변화와 식각량을 AFM(Atomic Force Microscope)과 4-point probe를 사용하여 각각 평가하였다. 또한 세정액 내에서의 연마입자의 zeta-potential을 측정 및 조절하여 세정력을 향상시켰다. 개발된 세정액과 Cu 표면에서의 화학반응 및 부식방지력은 potentiostat를 이용한 전기화학 분석법을 통해서 chelating agent와 부식방지제의 농도를 최적화 시켰다. 개발된 세정액을 적용함으로써 Cu-BTA 형태의 유기오염물과 오염입자들이 효과적으로 제거됨을 확인하였다.

So many nationwide drinking water treatment plants are under much difficulties by new reinforced discharged effluent standards. Generally, the sludge at thickener should be retended for a long time during usual days. Sometime, the soluble manganese and chloroform may be formed under the anaerobic condition in the sludge thickener when the sludge retention time is longer with low turbidity. This phenomenon results in difficulties to keep regulatory level of the discharged effluent. It was necessary to improve the operation conditions and process itself in order to meet water quality standard recently reinforced. For an effort to overcome the problems, a sludge aeration was successfully implemented into the thickening process. Sludge aeration prevent particle oxidated Manganese eluting soluble de-oxidated Manganese, excrete formated Chloroform from effluent to air, and improve sludge settling through homogenized sludge particle. We aerated sludge at the conventional water treatment plant, measured Manganese and Chloroform of clarified water at upper sludge, and solid-fluid interface height of sludge in mass cylinder. As a result, contaminant's concentrations of the final effluent was much decreased : 41% of manganese, approximately 62% of chloroform and 35% of sludge volume, compared with non-aeration sludge.

For estblishing the best technique for the micronization of Ibuprofen using supercritical fluids, the solubility should be known. The solubility of Ibuprofen in supercritical carbon dioxide was measured by observing the cloud point. The cloud point was observed using high pressure equipment equipped a variable volume view cell between temperature of 35, 40 and $45^{\circ}C$. The solubility data was correlated by the Peng-Robinson equation of state Solute physical properties, such as critical temperature (Tc), critical pressure (Pc) and acentric factor (${\omega}$) were estimated by the some group contribution method. As pressure was increased, the solubility increased at constant temperature. The retrograde phenomenon by a solute vapor pressure and a density of solvent was observed at the pressure of around 150bar. It was found that $CO_2$ can be used as a supercritical solvent in micronization of ibuprofen by RESS.

In this study, we successfully fabricated a super-hydrophobic polymer layer on the surface of slide glass using the solubility difference of a polymer at two different solvents. After dissolving polystyrene (PS) resins in tetrahydrofuran (THF) as a good solvent and then adding ethanol(EtOH) as a poor solvent, we were able to fabricate super-hydrophobic surface. We also investigated the effect of EtOH addition, coating methods, solution mixing time and speed, and other alcohols on the surface hydrophobicity. The water contact angle (WCA) of the fabricated surface revealed $WCA>150^{\circ}$ and the microporous surface structure composed of microparticles with the size less than $5\;{\mu}m$.

This study Provides the treatment methods of liquid wastes from the dissolution/purification process of nuclear fuel raw material and the fabrication process of nuclear fuel powder. One of the treatment methods is to process liquid waste from uranium raw material dissolution/purification process. This waste, of the strong acid, can be reused to dissolve the fine ADU particles in filtrate which is ADU waste of pH 8.0 converted from AUC waste after recovery of uranium. To dissolve the fine ADU particles, ADU filtrate was pretreated to pH 4.0 with the dissolution/purification waste, and then mixed with the lime to pH 9.2 and aged for 30 minutes. From this processing, uranium content of the filtrate was decreased to below 3ppm. The waste from fuel powder fabrication is emulsified solution dispersed with fine oil droplets. This emulsion was destroyed effectively by adding and mixing the nitric acid with rapid heating at the same time. After this processing, $Na_2U_2O_7$ compound is produced by addition of NaOH. Optimum condition of this processing was shown at pH 11.5, and uranium content of the filtrate was analyzed to 5ppm. To remove the trace of uranium in the filtrate, lime should be added. Otherwise, 4N nitric acid was used to destroy the emulsion directly, and then lime was added to this waste. Uranium content of the treated filtrate was below 1 ppm. In addition to these wastes, the trace of uranium in filtrate after recovery of uranium from the AUC waste which is produced during PWR power preparation, is treated with NaOH to takeup fluorine(F) in the waste because fluorine is valuable and toxic material. In the finally treated waste, uranium was not detected.

Spray dried $Cr_2O_3$ powder having an agglomerated structure of particles was twice treated into a plasma flame to increase its apparent density. The powder subjected to the first densification treatment did not show the entirely melted state keeping inner particle hollows, and it was fully melted after the second processing only. The powder size as a result of the second treatment decreased, and the apparent density as well as flowability were increased due to melting and surface smoothing effects. But a part of particles after the second densified treatment showed the hollow structure, especially those which were above $30{\mu}m$ in size. This densification behavior of the powder has been qualitatively discussed in terms of the thermal conductivity and inner gas pressure within aggregates exposed to the plasma flame.
