In the present paper, we review recycling and applications of titanium binary alloy scraps. The recycling techniques are to successfully prepare low oxygen content ingots using hydrogen plasma arc melting (HPAM) and to produce low oxygen content titanium alloy powders by Hydrogenation-dehydrogenation (HDH) and Deoxidation in solid state (DOSS) process. In addition, as applications of the titanium binary alloy scraps, Ti based solid-solution carbide powders, which would be used for producing Ti based solid-solution cermets with high toughness, were prepared using the titanium binary alloy scraps. These results confirmed that the titanium alloy scraps could be recycled and refined using the HPAM. The resulting oxygen content of the titanium alloy powders were below 1,000 ppm after powderizing. Finally, we had confirmed that the refined titanium alloy powders were able to be utilized as raw materials for preparing the toughened cermets.

A field-scale study was conducted to evaluate the effect of organic matter amendments on the solubility of arsenic (As) in paddy soil and uptake by rice. Six organic matter (rice bran, rice straw, pig/cattle/fowls manure compost and swine liquid manure) were added to two polluted soils with high As (53 mg kg^-1) and low As concentration (28 mg kg^-1), and changes in soil solution constituents was monitored. The mean As concentrations in soil solution from the high As soil with rice bran, pig manure compost and swine liquid manure addition were significantly higher (0.61-1.15 mg L^-1) than that of the control (0.42-0.66 mg L^-1). Regression between As and Fe in soil solution indicated that As was attributable to reductive dissolution of Fe (hydr)oxides and it was driven by organic matter addition. Mean As concentrations in brown rice from the high As soil were 0.35-0.46 mg kg^-1, above the maximum safety level of inorganic As (0.35 mg kg^-1), and tended to be higher in organic matter amended soils than that of the control. The significant correlation between grain As and soil solution As was not observed and it was probably attributable to As tolerance of rice causing the reduction of As uptake and/or translocation to grain. However, considering the significant As release in soil solution from the high As soil and the tendency of grain As elevation after organic matter addition, it is needed to be cautious for food safety when amending organic matter to paddy soil with high As concentration.

금속을 용해 응고시킬 때 생성되는 소위, 주조 결함이나 소결금속 내의 기공은 재료의 성능이나강도를 현저하게 낮추는 결함으로서 예전부터 기피되어 왔다. 또한, 재료공정에있어서도 여하의 기공이나 기포가 없는 치밀한 고강도 및 고기능성 재료를 개발하는 것에 최대한의 주의와 관심을 기울여 왔다. 그렇지만, 우리가 자연계의 천연물이나 인공물을 둘러보면 그 대부분이다공질임을 쉽게 눈치챌 수 있다. 예를 들어 목재, 지엽등의 생물을 시작해서 콘크리트 등의 인공물, 우리 체내의 뼈도 전형적인 다공질구조로 구성되어 있다. 이러한 구조로부터 재료의 재질제어 이외에 구조제어라는 새로운 어프로치를 고려할 수 있고, 최근 들어, 금속재료에 있어서도 이러한 다공질구조에 관한 연구가활성화되어 충격흡수재, 생체재료, 베어링재료 등의 다양한응용이 전개되고 있다. 특히, 원주상의 방향성 기공을 갖는 로터스금속은 기존의 복잡한구조의 다공질금속보다 뛰어난 기계적 성질을 갖는다. 이러한 다공질금속은 일방향응고할 때 생성하는 과포화가스원자를 석출시켜 기공을 일방향으로 성장시킨다. 즉, 융점에서의 고상과 액상의 가스 용해도 차를 이용하는 것으로서 응고시에 고용할 수 없는 가스원자가 기공을 형성한다. 이와같이 제조한 방향성 다공질금속은 BT (인플란트, 생체적합성, 저탄성, 경량), ST (초음속기엔진부품, 경량), IT (고성능수냉모듈), ET(고온촉매, 필터)의 분야로의 응용이 기대된다. 본 강연에서는 방향성 다공질금속의 제조법, 특성 및 응용을 포함하여그 동안의 연구성과 및 앞으로의 과제 등을 소개하고자 한다.

Supercritical $CO_2$ chromatography was applied for purification of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from fish oil. Various supercritical $CO_2$ pressures were tested to find out the pressure effects on solubility and selectivity of low fatty acids in the silver nitrate column. The solubility of low fatty acids was increased as the supercntical $CO_2$ Pressure increased. However, the selectiviy between low fatty acids and EPA waw decreased. Stepwise density gradient method was applied to increase the purification efficiency of EPA. Low fatty acids were easily separated at the early elution steps with low $CO_2$ densities. Successive fractions containing 92.1~97.8% of EPA were collected. The average concentration of three purified fractions was 95.6% with the recovery rate of 30%.

Titanium is the fourth most abundant structural metal, after aluminum, iron, and magnesium. However, it is classified as a 'rare metals', because it is difficult to smelt. In particular, the primary titanium production process is highly energy-intensive. Recycling titanium scraps to produce ingots can reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions by approximately 95 %. However, the amount of metal recycled from scrap remains limited of the difficulty in removing impurities such as iron and oxygen from the scrap. Generally, high-grade titanium and its alloy scraps are recycled by dilution with a virgin titanium sponge during the remelting process. Low-grade titanium scrap is recycled to ferrotitanium (cascade recycling). This paper provides an overview of titanium production and recycling processes.

환경 친화형 전기자동차, 하이브리드 자동차, 전철 등에서는 고내압 및 소형으로 전력손실을 감소시킬 수 있는 파워 디바이스가 필수이다. 최근, 실리콘 카바이드(SiC, silcon carbide)는 기존 실리콘(Si)보다 스위칭 손실의 저감 및 고온환경에서의 동작 특성이 우수하여, 차세대 저 손실 전력반도체 재료로서 기대를 받고 있다. 용액 성장 법에서 고품질 SiC 결정을 만들 수 있다. 그러나 늦은 성장 속도 때문에 SiC의 양산을 어렵게 하고 있다. 현재까지 성장 속도 향상을 위한 Si용매에 Cr을 첨가하여 탄소 용해도를 높이는 방법이 사용되고 안정된 성장을 위한 Si-Cr용매에 Al를 첨가하는 등 다양한 금속을 첨가하는 방법이 이용되고 있다. 선행 연구에서는 다양한 용매인 탄소 용해도를 실측하고 특히 큰 탄소 용해도를 보인 것은 Co이었다. 본 연구에서는 $Si_{0.6}Cr_{0.4}$원료와 Co를 첨가한 $Si_{0.56}Cr_{0.4}Co_{0.04}$의 용매에 의한 SiC용액 성장을 실시하고 결정 성장 속도 및 표면 상태의 변화를 검토했다. on-axis 4H-SiC(000-1)을 사용한 Top-seeded solution growth(TSSG)법과 원자 비율로 $Si_{0.6}Cr_{0.4}$와 $Si_{0.56}Cr_{0.4}Co_{0.04}$의 용매를 이용하여 SiC 용액 성장을 실시했다. Ar가스에서 저항 가열로 내를 치환 후에 $1800^{\circ}C$까지 가열하고 종자화 후에 120분간 유지하고 결정 성장을 실시했다. 냉각 후에 성장의 표면에 남은 용매를 $HF+HNO_3$에서 제거했다. 광학 현미경을 이용하여 결정면과 두께를 관찰 측정했다. Co를 첨가한 $Si_{0.56}Cr_{0.4}Co_{0.04}$의 경우는 $Si_{0.6}Cr_{0.4}$의 경우보다 결정 성장 속도가 향상됐다. 또한 $Si_{0.6}Cr_{0.4}$보다 step-flow의 성장을 나타낸 결정의 표면이 전반적으로 관찰됐으며 안정된 결정성장을 나타냈다. 본 연구에서 실시한 연구 방법과 결과는 고품질 및 고속의 SiC 용액성장을 위한 매우 유용한 자료로 활용 될 수 있을 것으로 판단한다.

The milk protein portion contains sialic acid which may be used as an index for k-casein. In comparison with non fat dry milk (NFDM) and calcium caseinate, the solubility of NFDM protein isolates at the various pH was inferior. Another consideration for the low solubility relates to the possibility that k-casein may have been extracted or possibly modified by the action of alcohol. The k-casein is the principal stabilizing fraction for casein micelle and any changes which result in its destruction or removal would be expected to have potent results. During solvent treatment, 16.5% of sialic acid was extracted in the first extraction solvent, whereas the second treatment caused only a 4.0% loss, based on sialic acid analysis. A study was conducted on the effect of concentration of methanol on loss of sialic acid. The loss of sialic acid decreased as the concentration of methanol increased to above 62% in both the first and second extracted solvent. It appears that loss of sialic acid is attributed to the water fraction rather than the methanol fraction. The effect of addition of the dried extracted solids on solubility was investigated. Protein solubility of NFDM protein isolates was sharply increased by 10% addition of the extracted solids and, thereafter, decreased. Efforts to restore solubility by feeding-back the extracted material supported the concept that removal of surface k-casein may have been a possible factor.

Intrinsic viscosity of starch irradiated with Co-60 (0.25-9.1 kGy) significantly decreased, and swelling power and solubility measured at $80^{\circ}C$ linearly increased with increasing irradiated dose. Radiation treatment up to 1 kGy increased amylose content of starch. Water-binding capacity increased rapidly up to 3 kGy. Peak viscosity of irradiated starches by Rapid visco Analyser and Visco/amylo/Graph indicated that the decrease in peak viscosity was dose-dependent. Gamma irradiation showed no effect on endothermic temperatures of irradiated starches, but decreased endothermic enthalpy with increasing dose level. Viscosity of starch autoclaved at $120^{\circ}C$ and air-dried significantly decreased with increasing irradiation dose. Resistant starch content slightly decreased upon irradiation.

Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3은 높은 유전율과 전기저항 및 유전율의 온도변화율이 적은 Pb계 relaxor의 대표적인 재료로서 적층 세라믹 콘덴서 재료에의 응용이 크게 기대되고 있다. 그러나 산화물 분말을 이용하는 일반적인 세라믹스 합성방법으로는 Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3의 단일상의 합성이 어렵고, 합성과정에서 저유전율상인 pyrochlore상이 합성이 어렵고, 합성과정에서 저유전율상인 pyrochlore상이 공존하여 Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3의 전기적 특성을 저하시킨다. 본연구에서는 용액을 이용하여 Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3의 단일상을 합성하고자 하였다. 출발물질로는 값싼 금속염인 Niobium Oxalate, magnesium Nitrate 및 Lead Nitrate를 선정하고 증류수에 용해하여 혼합용액을 제좋고, 합성방법으로는 초음파 분무 열분해법과 에멀젼법을 이용하였다. 초음파 분무 열분해법에서는 75$0^{\circ}C$에서 합성한 분말을 다시 75$0^{\circ}C$에서 하소하여 Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 단일상을 합성할 수 있었으며, 에멀젼법에서는 80$0^{\circ}C$에서 Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 단일상을 합성할 수 있었다.
