It is well Down that the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using a transition metal catalyst is greatly enhanced in a nitrogen environment. We show here that the enhanced growth is closely related to the activated nitrogen and it's incorporation into the CNT wall and cap during growth. This behavior is consistent with theoretical calculations of CNx thin films, showing that nitrogen incorporation to the graphitic basal plane reduces the elastic strain energy for curving the graphitic layer. Enhanced CNT growth by nitrogen incorporation is thus due to a decrease in the activation energies required for nucleation and growth of the tubular graphitic layer.

Polyimide membrane system was designed for manufacturing nitrogen-enriched gas, and basic technical data was suggested for appling this system to controlled atmosphere storage. The permeability characteristics of pure oxygen and nitrogen could be explained by dual-mode sorption model. There was substantial decrease in the permeation rates of oxygen, which is the more permeable gas, through the polyimide membrane due to the presence of nitrogen in comparison with pure oxygen. However, the permeation rates of nitrogen was increased by the presence of oxygen. The ideal separation factor was in the range of 5 to 6 in the range of temperature and pressure difference studied, and the separation factor of air was lower than the ideal separation factor. The increase of ideal separation factor with increasing temperature is due to the fact that the activation energy for oxygen is larger than that for nitrogen. Nitrogen concentration decreased rapidly with increasing product recovery, and it was found that this is a major operating factor to obtain nitrogen concentration required for controlled atmosphere storage. A relation equation, by which nitrogen concentration in storehouse can be predicted, was suggested under the establishment of a hypothetical model for controlled atmosphere storage process using polyimide membrane system.

In this study, a mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) activated using KOH was applied to the adsorption of formaldehyde, a representative indoor air pollutant. Activation process was carried out by putting KOH-treated CMK-3 in a reactor maintained at $700^{\circ}C$ in $N_2$ atmosphere. The activated sample was characterized using BET, XRD, XPS and FT-IR analysis. The formaldehyde adsorption performance of the mesoporous carbon was improved, which is attributed to the formation of oxygen and nitrogen functional groups on the mesoporous carbon surface by the activation process.

316L강에 질소를 첨가한 경우의 동적변형시효의 영향을 조사하기 위하여 질소량을 0.011~0.151%까지 변화시킨 시편을 1$\times$$10^{-2}$/sec, 2$\times$$10^{-3}$/sec, 2$\times$$10^{-4}$/sec의 변형속도로 상온~1023 K의 범위에서 인장시험을 수행하였다. 질소를 첨가하면 동적변형시효가 발생되는 구간이 고온쪽으로 이동하였다. 변형속도가 2$\times$$10^{-3}$/sec일때 동적변형시효가 발생되는 임계변형은 773 K에서는 질소량에 따라서 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 873 K에서는 임계변형은 질소량에 따라 거의 일정한 값을 나타내었지만 B형태에서 A형태로 전이되는 변형량은 질소량이 0.1%까지는 증가하다가 그 이후로는 거의 일정하게 되었다. 동적변형시효를 위한 활성화에너지를 구해본 결과 저온영역에서는 23.4~26.24 kcal/mol이고 고온영역에서는 65~76.6 kcal/mol이었다. 이 값을 여러 연구자들의 결과와 비교해 볼때 동적변형시효를 일으키는 원소는 공공과 Cr이고, 질소를 첨가하면 질소가 Cr과 상호작용을 하여 Cr의 이동을 느리게 함으로써 동적변형시효를 지연시켰다.

A fluidized bed reactor containing porous media has been known to be effective for nitrogen and organic matters removal in wastewater. The porous media which attached microbes plays important roles in simultaneous nitrification/denitrification (SND) due to coexistence of oxic, anaerobic and anoxic zone. For SND reaction, oxygen and organic substrates should be effectively diffused from wastewater into the intra-carrier zone. However, the overgrowth heterotrophic microbes at the surface of porous media may restrict from substrates diffusion. From these viewpoints, the existence and effect of heterotrophic bacteria at surface of porous media might be the key point for nitrogen removal. A porous media-membrane hybrid process was found to have improved nitrogen removal efficiency, due to stimulated denitrification as well as nitrification. Microelectrode studies revealed that although intra-media denitrification rate in a conventional fluidized bed was limited by organic carbon, this limitation was reduced in the hybrid process, resulting in the increased denitrification rate from 0.5 to $4.2\; mgNO_3-N/L/hr$.

Recently, the treat of sludge is usually progressed by ocean disposal. But it will be totally banned by content of its heavy metal according to London Dumping Convention, gradually. The stable way of treat of sewage sludge should be examined urgently. To solve the problem, recently, there are efficient and environment-oriented method. One of them is to produce absorbent through the activation. This study produces absorbent through steam activation. As basic experiment, optimum activation condition for preparation of good absorbent is researched through study of the fellowing variables : steam flow rate, activated temperature, activation time. As the result of this with standard on iodine adsorptivity, it is chosen, that steam flow rate "30 mL/hr", activation temperature $"500^{\circ}C"$, activation time "60 minutes". At the time, iodine adsorptivity and yield shown that 228.4 mg/g, 77.23%. And also, by using nitrogen adsorption, SEM and EDS are confirmed that pore development, specific surface area, mean pore size, chemical component and content. Pore developed by steam activation is also confirmed that it is micropore.

원자력용 316L강에 질소를 첨가한 경우의 고온 인장성질을 조사하였다. 온도가 증가하면 인장강도는 감소하다가 온도범위가 30$0^{\circ}C$~50$0^{\circ}C$에서는 일정한 값을 나타낸 후 급격한 감소를 나타내었고 연신율은 감소하다가 40$0^{\circ}C$에서 최소값을 나타낸 후 다시 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 질소를 첨가하면 인장강도증가와 함께 연신율도 증가하였다. 동적변형시효 온도구간에서 변형속도변화에 따른 인장강도 및 연신율의 변화는 매우 작다. 동적변형시효를 위한 활성화에너지를 구해본 결과 동적변형시효를 일으키는 원소는 Cr이다. 질소를 첨가하면 동적변형시효가 발생되는 온도가 고온 쪽으로 이동되었는데 이것은 질소가 Cr과의 상호작용에 의해 Cr의 확산속도를 낮추기 때문이다. 가공경화지수는 동적변형시효와 회복의 영향으로 40$0^{\circ}C$에서 최대값을 나타내었으며 이 온도는 연신율이 최소값을 나타내는 온도와 인장강도가 일정하게되는 온도와 일치하므로 강도강화기구는 동적변형시효로 판명되었다.

This paper deals with nitrogen diffusion velocity and activation energy in diffusion layer and compound layer in ion-nitriding, and presents observations on the effect of deformation according to nitriding methods. During the experiment the activation energy and diffusion velocity of nitrogen have been examined in S45C steel samples. It is found that the results of an investigation correspond with the theoretical data and the ion-nitriding method offers less deformation than conventional salt-bath method of nitriding.
