YAG phosphor powders were fabricated by the atmospheric plasma spraying method with the spray-dried spherical YAG precursor. The YAG precursor slurry for the spray drying process was prepared by the PVA solution chemical processing utilizing a domestic easy-sintered aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) powder as a seed. The homogenous and viscous slurry resulted in dense granules, not hollow or porous particles. The synthesized phosphor powders demonstrated a stable YAG phase, and excellent fluorescence properties of approximately 115% compared with commercial YAG:Ce³⁺ powder. The microstructure of the phosphor powder had a perfect spherical shape and an average particle size of approx imately 30 ㎛. As a result of the PKG test of the YAG phosphor powder, the synthesized phosphor powders exhibited an outstanding luminous intensity, and a peak wavelength was observed at 531 nm.

In Dangjin, Chungcheongnam-do, there are not only power plants and large steel complexes, but also small and medium-sized air pollutant emission facilities. The dust generated by these facilities has a very small particle size and a large surface area due to condensation and physical and chemical reactions, and is discharged containing various harmful substances. Therefore, this study analyzed the distribution of particulate matter and heavy metal concentrations by particle size in the vicinity of the steel complex, residential area, and reference point using an eight-stage Cascade Impactor. Overall, the direct impact sites with a short distance from the steel complex had the highest concentration, followed by the indirect impact sites, and the non-impact sites had the lowest concentration, indicating that they are directly affected by the steel complex. The atmospheric dust concentration distribution showed a bimodal distribution with a minimum value around the 1.1 to 2.1 ㎛ particle diameter. However, during the yellow dust event, the maximum concentration was biased toward coarse particles. The proportion of PM2.5 in the dust tended to be higher in winter, while the ratio between PM2.5 and PM10 was relatively higher in spring. Regardless of the location of the impact point, heavy metals in the dust were dominated by iron and aluminum, followed by zinc, lead, and manganese.

Nanostructured high strength metastable Al-, Mg- and Ti-based alloys containing different amorphous, quasicrystalline and nanocrystalline phases are synthesized by non-equilibrium processing techniques. Such alloys can be prepared by quenching from the melt or by powder metallurgy techniques. This paper focuses on one hand on mechanically alloyed and ball milled powders containing different volume fractions of amorphous or nano-(quasi)crystalline phases, consolidated bulk specimens and, on the other hand. on cast specimens containing different constituent phases with different length-scale. As one example. $Mg_{55}Y_{15}Cu_{30}$- based metallic glass matrix composites are produced by mechanical alloying of elemental powder mixtures containing up to 30 vol.% $Y_2O_3$ particles. The comparison with the particle-free metallic glass reveals that the nanosized second phase oxide particles do not significantly affect the glass-forming ability upon mechanical alloying despite some limited particle dissolution. A supercooled liquid region with an extension of about 50 K can be maintained in the presence of the oxides. The distinct viscosity decrease in the supercooled liquid regime allows to consolidate the powders into bulk samples by uniaxial hot pressing. The $Y_2O_3$ additions increase the mechanical strength of the composites compared to the $Mg_{55}Y_{15}Cu_{30}$ metallic glass. The second example deals with Al-Mn-Ce and Al-Cu-Fe composites with quasicrystalline particles as reinforcements, which are prepared by quenching from the melt and by powder metallurgy. $Al_{98-x}Mn_xCe_2$ (x =5,6,7) melt-spun ribbons containing a major quasicrystalline phase coexisting with an Al-matrix on a nanometer scale are pulverized by ball milling. The powders are consolidated by hot extrusion. Grain growth during consolidation causes the formation of a micrometer-scale microstructure. Mechanical alloying of $Al_{63}Cu_{25}Fe_{12}$ leads to single-phase quasicrystalline powders. which are blended with different volume fractions of pure Al-powder and hot extruded forming $Al_{100-x}$$(Al_{0.63}Cu_{0.25}Fe_{0.12})_x$ (x = 40,50,60,80) micrometer-scale composites. Compression test data reveal a high yield strength of ${\sigma}_y{\geq}$700 MPa and a ductility of ${\varepsilon}_{pl}{\geq}$5% for than the Al-Mn-Ce bulk samples. The strength level of the Al-Cu-Fe alloys is ${\sigma}_y{\leq}$550 MPa significantly lower. By the addition of different amounts of aluminum, the mechanical properties can be tuned to a wide range. Finally, a bulk metallic glass-forming Ti-Cu-Ni-Sn alloy with in situ formed composite microstructure prepared by both centrifugal and injection casting presents more than 6% plastic strain under compressive stress at room temperature. The in situ formed composite contains dendritic hcp Ti solid solution precipitates and a few $Ti_3Sn,\;{\beta}$-(Cu, Sn) grains dispersed in a glassy matrix. The composite micro- structure can avoid the development of the highly localized shear bands typical for the room temperature defor-mation of monolithic glasses. Instead, widely developed shear bands with evident protuberance are observed. resulting in significant yielding and homogeneous plastic deformation over the entire sample.

Objectives: Nanomaterials have been used in various fields. As use of nanoproducts is increasing, workers dealing with nanomaterials are also gradually increasing. Exposure assessments for nanomaterials have been carried out for protection of worker's health in workplace. Exposure studies were mainly focused on manufacturing processes, but these studies on after-treatment processes such as refinement, weighing, and packing were insufficient. So, we investigated exposure characteristics of particles during after-treatment processes of $Al_2O_3$ fibers and Ni powders. Methods: Mass-production of Ni powder process was carried out in enclosed capture-type canopy hood. In a developing stage, $Al_2O_3$ was handled with a local ventilation unit. Exposure characteristics of particles were investigated for $Al_2O_3$ fiber and Ni powder processes during the periods of 10:00 to 16:00, 20 May 2014 and 13:00 to 16:00, 21 May 2014, respectively. Three real-time aerosol instruments were utilized in exposure assessment. A scanning mobility particle sizer(SMPS, nanoscan, model 3910, TSI) and an optical particle counter(OPC, portable aerosol spectrometer, model 1.109, Grimm) were used to determine the particle size distribution in the size range of 10-420 nm and $0.25-32{\mu}m$, respectively. In addition, a nanoparticle aerosol monitor(NAM, model 9000, TSI) was used to measure lung-deposited nanoparticle surface area. Membrane filters(isopore membrane filter, pore size of 100 nm) were also used for air sampling for the FE-SEM(model S-5000H, Hitachi) analysis using a personal sampling pump(model GilAir Plus by 2.5 L/min, Gilian). Conclusions: For Ni powder after-treatment process, only 27% increase in particle concentration was found during the process. However, for $Al_2O_3$ fiber after-treatment process, significant exposure(1.56-3.34 times) was observed during the process.

500 mL 교반탱크반응기 내에서 $AlCl_3$ 증기를 $H_2O$ 증기에 의해 부분 가수분해시켜 30~200 nm 크기의 $AlO_xCl_y(OH)_z$로 표시되는 구형의 알루미나 전구체 입자를 제조하였다. 반응시간, 교반속도, 반응온도가 생성된 입자의 형상, 크기 등에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 반응시간을 20, 60, 300 s로 변화시킨 결과 생성 입자의 형상 및 크기에 별다른 차이가 없었으며, 교반속도를 0, 300, 800 rpm으로 변화시킨 결과 0 rpm에서 입자의 크기가 최대값을 보였고, 반응온도를 180, 190, 200, $240^{\circ}C$로 변화시킨 결과 $190^{\circ}C$에서 제조된 입자의 크기가 가장 작게 나타났다. 가수분해 생성물 입자를 $10^{\circ}C$/min의 속도로 $1,200^{\circ}C$까지 가열하고 6 시간동안 하소시켜 45 nm 크기의 ${\alpha}$ 알루미나 입자를 얻었다. 하소과정에서 인접입자 사이의 소결에 의해 입자 형상이 구형에서 벌레모양으로 변환되었다. 하소온도를 $1,400^{\circ}C$로, 승온속도를 $50^{\circ}C$/min 로 증가시키고, 유지시간을 0.5 시간으로 감소시켜 급속 하소시킴으로써 인접입자의 소결을 상당히 감소시킬 수 있었다. $AlCl_3$의 가수분해 과정에서 소량의 $SiCl_4$ 또는 TMCTS(2,4,6,8-tetramethylcylosiloxane) 첨가에 의해 인접입자의 소결 방지 효과가 나타났으나, ${\alpha}$ 결정 이외에 ${\gamma}$ 결정, mullite 결정 등이 함께 생성되었다. 하소과정에서 $AlF_3$를 첨가한 결과 육각형 디스크 형상의 ${\alpha}$ 알루미나 입자가 생성되었다.

An important business-field of world-wide steel-industry is the coating of thin metal-sheets with zinc, zinc-aluminum and aluminum based materials. These products mostly go into automotive industry. in particular for the car-body. into building and construction industry as well as household appliances. Due to mass-production, the processing is done in large continuously operating plants where the mostly cold-rolled metal-strip as the substrate is handled in coils up to 40 tons unwind before and rolled up again after passing the processing plant which includes cleaning, annealing, hot-dip galvanizing / aluminizing and chemical treatment. In the liquid Zn, Zn-AI, AI-Zn and AI-Si bathes a combined action of corrosion and wear under high temperature and high stress onto the transfer components (rolls) accounts for major economic losses. Most critical here are the bearing systems of these rolls operating in the liquid system. Rolls in liquid system can not be avoided as they are needed to transfer the steel-strip into and out of the crucible. Since several years, ceramic roller bearings are tested here [1.2], however, in particular due to uncontrollable Slag-impurities within the hot bath [3], slide bearings are still expected to be of a higher potential [4]. The today's state of the art is the application of slide bearings based on Stellite\ulcorneragainst Stellite which is in general a 50-60 wt% Co-matrix with incorporated Cr- and W-carbides and other composites. Indeed Stellite is used as the bearing-material as of it's chemical properties (does not go into solution), the physical properties in particular with poor lubricating properties are not satisfying at all. To increase the Sliding behavior in the bearing system, about 0.15-0.2 wt% of lead has been added into the hot-bath in the past. Due to environmental regulations. this had to be reduced dramatically_ This together with the heavily increasing production rates expressed by increased velocity of the substrate-steel-band up to 200 m/min and increased tractate power up to 10 tons in modern plants. leads to life times of the bearings of a few up to several days only. To improve this situation. the Mechanical Alloying (MA) TeChnique [5.6.7.8] is used to prOduce advanced Stellite-based bearing materials. A lubricating phase is introduced into Stellite-powder-material by MA, the composite-powder-particles are coated by High Energy Milling (HEM) in order to produce bearing-bushes of approximately 12 kg by Sintering, Liquid Phase Sintering (LPS) and Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP). The chemical and physical behavior of samples as well as the bearing systems in the hot galvanizing / aluminizing plant are discussed. DependenCies like lubricant material and composite, LPS-binder and composite, particle shape and PM-route with respect to achievable density. (temperature--) shock-reSistibility and corrosive-wear behavior will be described. The materials are characterized by particle size analysis (laser diffraction), scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. corrosive-wear behavior is determined using a special cylinder-in-bush apparatus (CIBA) as well as field-test in real production condition. Part I of this work describes the initial testing phase where different sample materials are produced, characterized, consolidated and tested in the CIBA under a common AI-Zn-system. The results are discussed and the material-system for the large components to be produced for the field test in real production condition is decided. Outlook: Part II of this work will describe the field test in a hot-dip-galvanizing/aluminizing plant of the mechanically alloyed bearing bushes under aluminum-rich liquid metal. Alter testing, the bushes will be characterized and obtained results with respect to wear. expected lifetime, surface roughness and infiltration will be discussed. Part III of this project will describe a second initial testing phase where the won results of part 1+11 will be transferred to the AI-Si system. Part IV of this project will describe the field test in a hot-dip-aluminizing plant of the mechanically alloyed bearing bushes under aluminum liquid metal. After testing. the bushes will be characterized and obtained results with respect to wear. expected lifetime, surface roughness and infiltration will be discussed.

계면유도 침전법을 이용, 알루미나와 이트리아를 코팅한 SiC 분말을 사용하여 제조된 탄화규소의 물성을 관찰하였다. $Al_2(SO_4)_3$과 $Y_2(SO_4)_3$의 수용액에서 요소를 분해시켜 수화물 및 탄화물의 전구체로 구성된 석출물을 SiC의 분말 표면에 코팅한 후 하소하여 알루미나와 이트리아가 코팅된 탄화규소 시편을 제조하였다. $1900^{\circ}C$에서 소결한 탄화규소는 약 97.8%의 소결밀도를 나타내었으며, 소결 후 annealing을 행한 시편은 $\beta$상 탄화규소에서 $\alpha$상 탄화규소로의 상전이가 일어나 주상입자가 형성되었다. 균열 전파시 주상입자를 중심으로 입계간 균열(intergranular crack)이 일어났으며, 주상입자의 pullout 효과 의한 균열길이의 증가로 SiC 소결체의 인성이 증진되는 것으로 나타났다. annealing 시간이 3시간 이내인 경우에는 소결조제의 첨가량이 적은 시편의 파괴인성치가 높았으나 그 차이는 미미하였고, annealing 시간이 길어짐에 따라 소결조제의 양에 따른 인성의 차이는 거의 나타나지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 annealing 시간이 길어짐에 따라 입자의 정단축비(aspect ratio)가 커지고 주성입자에 의한 pullout 효과가 인성증진의 주된 인자가 되어, 소결조제의 양과 관련된 영향이 적었기 때문인 것으로 사료되었다.

세라믹 재료 중 알루미나(Al₂O₃)는 산업에서 널리 사용되는 세라믹 재료로서 최근의 기술발전에 따라 재료 크기가 작아지고 이에 따른 특성이 다양하여 그 중요성이 더해 가고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 알루미늄 알콕사이드 중 Aluminum isopropoxide(AIP)를 출발 원료물질로 하여 졸-겔(Sol-Gel)법에 의해 가수분해 및 해교과정을 거쳐 boehmite 졸을 제조하고 이후 건조 및 하소시켜 γ-Al₂O₃를 제조하였다. 이러한 제조 과정 중 입자의 응집현상을 방지하기 위해 9,000 ~ 10,000, 31,000 ~ 50,000, 89,000 ~ 98,000, 130,000의 분자량을 갖는 4종류의 PVA(Polyvinyl alcohol)를 첨가하고 3종류 질산(0.1, 0.3, 0.5 몰비)을 첨가하여 입자에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 제조된 γ-Al₂O₃는 X선 회절분석기(XRD), X선 형광분석기(XRF), 입도분석기(PSA), 전계방사 주사전자현미경(FE-SEM) 등의 기기분석을 통하여 결정구조 및 조성, 입자크기, 그리고 입자형상을 확인하였다. 그 결과, 약 98.2 %의 순도를 갖는 γ-Al₂O₃가 합성되었으며 첨가되는 질산의 첨가비가 높을수록, 그리고 PVA 분자량이 클수록 입자크기가 감소하고 균일성이 높아지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로부터, PVA와 질산의 첨가비 조절에 따라 γ-Al₂O₃의 제조공정 중 입자크기 제어가 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Aluminum nitrate 수용액을 원료로 사용하여 $K_2O-Li_2O-Al_2O_3$ 3성분계로부터 $K^+-{\beta}^{{\prime}{\prime}}-Al_2O_3$를 합성하였다. 순수한 $K^+-{\beta}^{{\prime}{\prime}}-Al_2O_3$의 합성을 위하여 원료물질은 $0.84K_2O{\cdot}0.082Li_2O{\cdot}5.2Al_2O_3$의 조성으로 액상상태에서 혼합되었다. 입자크기를 최소화하고 순수한 $K^+-{\beta}^{{\prime}{\prime}}-Al_2O_3$를 합성하는데 있어서 분산첨가제와 용액의 pH의 영향을 조사하였다. 분산첨가제로써 에탄올을 0.0~4.0 M 첨가하였고 용액의 pH는 $NH_4OH$ 수용액과 $HNO_3$를 이용하여 조절하였다. 시료는 pH 1.0에서 7.5까지 0.5 간격으로 수집하였다. 각 시료들은 $1200^{\circ}C$에서 2 h 동안 하소한 후 XRD와 PSA 분석을 하였다. 용액의 pH는 입자크기와 상형성에 모두 중요한 영향을 미친 반면, 에탄올의 첨가는 입자크기에만 영향을 주었다. pH 조절에 $HNO_3$를 사용하였을 경우, $HNO_3$를 사용하지 않았을 때 보다 순수한 $K^+-{\beta}^{{\prime}{\prime}}-Al_2O_3$ 상을 합성하는데 유리함을 알 수 있었다.

전기응집 (Electro-coagulation)을 활용한 분리 막 생물반응기 (Membrane Bio-Reactor) 공정의 막 오염 저감 현상을 확인하고 이를 해석하고자 하였다. 전기응집의 주요 운전 인자인 전류밀도와 접촉시간 변화가 활성슬러지 혼합액의 막 여과에 미치는 영향을 관찰하고 전기응집 과정에서 발생하는 수산화금속염이 막 오염에 미치는 역할에 대해 연구하였다. 전류밀도를 $10A/m^2$으로 높게 유지한 경우에는 전기응집 시간이 증가하여도 막 오염 감소 효과가 크지 않은 반면 $2.5A/m^2$의 낮은 전류밀도 하에서는 전기응집 시간이 증가하면 추가적인 막 오염 감소가 관찰되었다. 즉, 막 오염을 감소시키는 전류밀도와 접촉시간의 곱이 전체 막 오염 저감 정도를 지배하고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 주어진 전류밀도와 인가시간에서 입도분포는 크게 변화하지 않은 것으로 나타나 콜로이드 입자와 막 오염 저감과는 큰 관련성이 없는 것으로 판단되었다. 그러나 전기응집을 통해 생성된 수산화알루미늄 (인산알루미늄)이 막 여과 과정에서 동적 막 (Dynamic Membrane)을 형성하여 막 오염 현상을 완화하는 것으로 확인되었다. 전기응집에서 발생한 수산화금속염이 막 표면에 동적 막을 형성하고 이로 인해 유입수의 입자성분이 직접 막 표면과 내부에 침적되는 것을 방해하고 동적 막에 주로 쌓이게 함으로써 막 오염이 감소된 것이다. 본 연구에서 밝힌 수산화금속염에 의한 동적 막의 역할은 전기응집을 활용한 MBR 공정의 후 막 오염 감소 메커니즘을 해석하는데 중요한 역할을 한다고 결론지을 수 있다.
