Aluminum nitride (AlN) powders were synthesized by using a mixture of an aluminum nitrate or sulfate salt and carbon (mole ratio of $Al^{3+}$ to carbon=L : 30). The AlN was obtained by calcining the mixture under a flow of nitrogen in the temperature range 1100-1$600^{\circ}C$ and then burning out the residual carbon. The process of conversion of the salt to AlN was monitored by XRD and $^{27}$ Al magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. The salt decomposed to ${\gamma}$-alumina and then converted to AlN without phase transition from ${\gamma}$-to-$\alpha$-alumina. $^{27}$ Al MAS NMR spectroscopy shows that the formation of AlN commenced at 110$0^{\circ}C$. AlN powders obtained from the sulfate salt were superior to those from the nitrate salt in terms of homogeneity and crystallinity. A very small amount of AlN whiskers was obtained by calcining a mixture of an aluminum sulfate salt and carbon at 115$0^{\circ}C$ for 40 h, and the growth of the whiskers is well explained by the particle-to-particle self-assembly mechanism.

The alumina-zirconia composite powders of core particle ZrO2 coated with Al2O3 were prepared by the hydrolysis-deposition of the mixed aluminum salt solution of Al2(SO4)3-Al(NO3)3-Urea. The effects of hydrolysis reaction and coating parameters on characteristics of coated powders and composites were also investigated. The degree of coating could be estimated from the ratio of tetra-/mono-ZrO2 present at the room temperature after heat-treating coated powders at 120$0^{\circ}C$ and the result of TEM observations. When the content of ZrO2 in the dispersed coating system, the coating time, and the volume ratio of water/solution were 50 mg/g, 180 min, and 5, respectively the coating efficiency was maximum (the ratio of tetra-/mono-ZrO2 was 87/13). The relative densities of coated Al2O3-ZrO2 composites sintered at 1$650^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs were about 91~98% and the maximum ratio of tetra-/mono-ZrO2 in Al2O3-20wt% ZrO2 composites was 62/38.

Two single crystals of fully dehydrated partially $Li^+$-exchanged zeolite X were prepared by the exchange of Na-X, $Na_{92}Si_{100}Al_{92}O_{384}$ (Si/Al = 1.09), with $Li^+$ using aqueous 0.1 M $LiNO_3$ at 293 (crystal 1) and 333 K(crystal 2), followed by vacuum dehydration at 623 K and $1{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr for 2 days. Their structures were determined by single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction techniques in the cubic space group $Fd{\overline{3}}$ at 100(1) K. Their structures were refined using all intensities to the final error indices (using the 1281 and 883 reflections for which ($F_o$ > $4{\sigma}(F_o)$) $R_1/R_2$ = 0.075/0.244 and 0.074/0.223 for crystals 1 and 2, respectively. Their compositions are seen to be ${\mid}Li_{86}Na_6{\mid}[Si_{100}Al_{92}O_{384}]$-FAU and ${\mid}Li_{87}Na_5{\mid}[Si_{100}Al_{92}O_{384}]$-FAU, respectively. In crystal 1, 17 $Li^+$ ions per unit cell are at site I', 15 another site I', 30 at site II, and the remaining 16 at site III; 2 $Na^+$ ions are at site II and the remaining 4 at site III'. In crystal 2, 32 and 30 $Li^+$ ions per unit cell fill sites I' and II, respectively, and the remaining 25 at site III'; 2 and 3 $Na^+$ ions are found at sites II and III', respectively. The extent of $Li^+$ exchange increases slightly with increasing ion exchange temperature from 93% to 95%.

studies of olefin oxidation using Al(III)-porphyrin complexes as catalyst are investigated in CH2Cl2, in which NaClO is used as terminal oxidant. Porphyrins are TPP(5,10,15,20-Tetraphenylporphyrin) and (p-X)TPP(X=CH3O, CH3, F, Cl). Olefins are styrene and (p-X)styrene (X=CH3O, CH3, Cl, Br). The values of Km and Vmax are calculated from the Michaelis-Menten equation. According to the substituents of substrate and catalyst, kinetic parameters will be measured. Investigating the correlation between the Michaelis-Menten rate parameters and the substituent constants, we were able to analyze the influence on the changes of catalytic activity or the rate determining step during the process of the formation and the dissociation of the M-oxo-olefin.

The ion exchange resins were synthesized from 1-aza-18-crown-6 macrocyclic ligand attached to styrene (2th petroleum in 4th class hazardous material) divinylbenzene (DVB) copolymer with crosslinks of 1%, 6%, and 15% by substitution reaction. These synthetic resins were confirmed by chlorine content, elementary analysis, surface area, and IR-spectrum. The object of this study was to seperate the metal ion absorbed in reinforcement water fire extinguishing agent. As the results of the effects of pH, equilibrium arrival time, and crosslink of synthetic resin on metal ion adsorption for resin adsorbent, the metal ions were showed high adsorption at pH 3 or over and adsorption equilibrium of metal ions was about 2 hours. In addition, adsorption selectivity for the resin in water was the order of Al (III) > Ni (II) > Sm (III) ions, adsorbability of the metal ions was in the crosslinks order of 1%, 6%, and 15%.

Three types of dispersed, coated and mechanically mixed SiC reinforced Al2O3 composite powders were used to investigate the effect of composite powder type on sintering characteristics and properties of Al2O3-SiC composites. Sinterability of coated type composite powders was superior to that of other composite powders when they were pressureless sintered at 1500~1$700^{\circ}C$ for 2h in Ar atmosphere. However, sinterabilities (>98% TD) of each type of composite powders were similar when they were hot pressed at 180$0^{\circ}C$ for 1h under 30MPa in N2 atmosphere. SiC powders were randomly distributed in the specimen prepared from dispersed type composite powders, whereas homogeneously distributed for coated type specimens. It was found that SiC powders inhibited the grain growth of Al2O3, and fracture toughness was increased by the increment of crack growth resistance due to residual stress by secondary SiC particles within Al2O3 grains.

Microwave digestion and solid-state extraction were studied for determination of trace aluminum{Al(III)} in human urine samples. A mixed acid of nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide was added to urine samples, organic materials were destructed in a home microwave oven and dried in a drying oven. The dried residues were dissolved in a sulfuric acid solution. The solution was eluted through a XAD-4 resin column adsorbed with 8-hydroxyquinoline(Oxine, HQ). Al(III)-8-hydroxyquinolinate complex was formed in the column and eluted with 0.5 M nitric acid solution. The Al(III) eluted was determined by graphite atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Various experimental conditions of followings were investigated for the optimization : the type of acid to dissolve the residues, the amount of HQ adsorbed on the resin, the pH of sample solutions, the type and concentration of acid to elute the complex from column and so on. The contents of Al(III) in real samples were determinated by a calibration curve method. The recovery in standard spiked samples was 94~101% and the detection limit of this procedure was 0.05 ng/mL.

III-V 화합물 태양전지는 실리콘 등 다른 태양전지에 비해 1sun상 30% 이상의 고효율을 갖고 있고 direct bandgap과 높은 이동도 등의 물질특성과 3족과 5족의 비율 조절로 같은 결정구조에서 에너지 bandgap이 다른 물질들을 만들기에 용이하여 태양전지 스펙트럼의 넓은 영역을 흡수할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 그러나 셀 자체의 물질이 실리콘에 비하여 고가여서 고성능이 요구되는 우주 인공위성 등에 적용이 되었지만, 2000년대 이후로 집광에 적용 가능한 태양전지의 연구를 거듭하여 2005년부터는 값싼 프레넬 렌즈를 이용하여 1 sun에 비해 500배 해당하는 빛을 셀에 집광하여 보다 효율을 증가시킴으로써 지상발전용에도 적용 가능한 셀을 형성하게 되었다. 더불어 태양전지의 효율을 증가시키기 위한 다양한 구조적 변화의 시도도 많이 이루어지고 있다. 최근 실리콘 태양전지의 표면에 texture 구조를 주어 높은 흡수율과 낮은 반사율을 갖게 함으로써 효율을 증가시키는 사례가 많아지고, III-V 화합물 태양전지도 texturing에 의해 증가된 효율을 발표한바 있다. 본 연구에서는 III-V 화합물 InGaP 태양전지의 window층으로 사용되는 InAlP 층에 Metal-assisted chemical etching (mac etching) 방법으로 texture 구조를 형성하여 etching 시간에 따른 InAlP층의 표면 변화와 반사율의 변화를 분석하였다.

The effects of Cu(II) and Al(III) on the extraction and separation of Pt(IV) and Pd(II) have been investigated in a mixed chloride solution using Alamine336 as the extractant. In the HCl concentration range of 1 to 5 M, more than 99% of Pt and Pd could be extracted by Alamine336 from all of the mixed chloride solutions investigated in this study. Lower HCl concentration led to a higher separation factor between Pd and Pt when Alamine336 concentration was constant. Extraction percentage of Cu increased with the increase of HCl concentration, while that of Al was nearly constant at 33% in our experimental range. The optimum conditions to extract Pt and Pd from Cu or Al and the separation factor under these conditions were obtained.
