The microwave carbonization of rice chaff was performed, and their kinetics were compared to those of conventional thermal carbonization. Thermal carbonization was carried out at $300-600^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. The weight loss and C/H mole ratio remarkably increased as increase of temperature, while there was no carbonization by microwave dielectric heating in spite of increasing incident power and irradiation time. However, microwave carbonization was successfully performed by addition of 6 wt％ of thermal carbonized rice chaff, it's C/H mole ratio is larger than 3.0, as a catalytic initiator to uncarbonized rice chaff, and the kinetics was depended on the incident power and irradiation time, resulting in the coincide with thermal carbonization to the Arrhenius equation. The activation energy of microwave carbonization was quite low as compared to that of thermal carbonization, while the kinetic constant was large. This is due to the internal volumetric heating characteristics of carbonized rice chaff by microwave. The effect of ash, and C/H mole ratio and amount of carbonized rice chaff were investigated on microwave carbonization.

Composite membranes were prepared by the deposition of pentafluoropyridine(PFP) or pentafluorotoluene(PFT) plasma films onto porous Celgard and nonporous poly(dimethylsiloxane) [PDMS] films. Gas permeation measurements for the composite membranes were made in the temperature range of 35$^{\circ}$C to 75 $^{\circ}$C and the solubilities in plasma polymers were measured using a Cahn Microbalance. The permeability coefficients of plasma polymers obeyed the Arrhenius relationship fairly wall. Activation energies for permeation in the plasma films increased with the size of penetrant molecules. The activation energy of plasma polymers was much lower than that of commonly used perfluoropolymers. This difference was proved to be attributable to the much lower heat of solutions of the plasma polymers compared to perfluoropolymers. The diffusion activation energies were comparable with each other.

The base-catalyzed hydrolysis of indomethacin over a range of pH 8,2 to 10.0 was investigated, according to the first order kinetic equation. The energy of activation for the reaction was calculated 20, 18 kcal/mole from the Arrhenius plot. And the optimal pH of indomethacin in aqueous solution was estimated as pH 4.93 by the extrapolation of the log k-pH profiles in strong acidic and alkaline regions. And the influences of alkaline earth metals, heavy metals and some other compounds on the degradation of indomethacin were observed with no effect.

To investigate the dynamic strain aging (DSA) behavior of Alloy 617, high-temperature tensile tests were carried out with strain rates variations of $10^{-3}/s$, $10^{-4}/s$, and $10^{-5}/s$ from $24^{\circ}C$ to $950^{\circ}C$. Five flow relationships, Hollomon, Ludwik, Swift, Ludwigson, and Voce, were applied to describe the tensile true stress-strain curves, and the DSA region was defined. In describing the tensile curves, Ludwigson's equation was superior to the other equations, and the DSA region was adequately defined by this equation as plateaus at intermediate temperatures from $200^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$. It was identified that Alloy 617 is dominated by three types of serrations, known as Types D, A+B, and C. The activation energy values for each serration type were obtained by the Arrhenius equation. By using the obtained activation energy values, the serrated yielding map and the DSA mechanism were drawn and manifested. In addition, the relationship between the tensile strength and strain rate at higher temperatures above $700^{\circ}C$ was found to be closely related to the amounts of slip lines. In the scanning electron microscope (SEM) fractographs, there was a significant difference at the low, intermediate, and high temperatures, but almost the same to the three strain rates.

The residue of imidacloprid in hulled rice and paddy soil was investigated. In laboratory conditions, the degradation of imidacloprid in the soils followed first-order reaction kinetic. The rate of degradation was influenced by soil temperature and soil type. The half-life of imidacloprid at $18-28^{\circ}C$ was 66.7-96.3 days in the heavy clay soil and 56.8-117.5 days in the clay loam soil. Arrhenius activation energy obtained from the temperature experiment was 25.5 KJ/mol in heavy clay soil and 50.3 KJ/mol in clay loam soil. In paddy field, the degradation of imidacloprid was fast during the initial period but the degradation rate was gradually slow. About 10 % of the initial amount remained in the soil 120 day after the application. The residual amount of imidacloprid in rice was below the detection limit, 0.01 ppm. The residue level in rice was lower than MRL 0.05ppm in Korea.

Reaction kinetics for the solid - state reaction of ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$with amorphous $SiO_2$to produce mullite ($3Al_2O_3;{cdot};2SiO_2$) was studied in the temperature range of 1450~$1480^{\circ}C$. Rate of kinetic reaction were determined by using $SiO_2$- coated $Al_2O_3$ compact containing 28.16 wt.% $SiO_2$and heating the reactant mixtures in MgO at definite temperature for various times. Amount of products and unreacted reactants were determined by X-ray diffractometry. Data from the volume fraction and ratio of peak intensities of mullite indicated that the reaction of ${\alpha}-;Al_2O_3$ with $SiO_2$to form $3Al_2O_3\;{\cdot}\;2SiO_2$ start between 1450 and $1480^{\circ}C$. The activation energy for solid-state reaction was determined by using the Arrhenius equation; The activation energy was 31.9 kJ/mol.

The kinetics of the thermal-oxidative decomposition of waste polyurethane (PU) according to oxygen concentration has been studied using a non-isothermal thermogravimetric technique at several heating rates from 10 to $50^{\circ}C/min$. A kinetic model accounting for the effects of the oxygen concentration by the differential and integral method based on Arrhenius equation was proposed to describe the thermal-oxidative decomposition of waste PU. To obtain the information on the kinetic parameters such as activation energy, reaction order, and pre-exponential factor, the thermogravimetric analysis curves and its derivatives have been analyzed using the kinetic analysis method proposed in this work. From this work, it was found that reaction orders for oxygen concentration had a negative sign, and activation energy decreased as the oxygen concentration increased. It was also found that the kinetic parameters obtained from the integral method using the single heating rate experiments varied with heating rates. Therefore, it is thought that the differential method using the multiple heating rate experiments more effectively represents the thermal-oxidative decomposition of waste polyurethane.

In this work, the cure kinetics and rheological properties of difunctional epoxy(diglycidylether of bisphenol A, DGEBA)/polysulfone (PSF) blends were investigated using differential scanning calorimeter and rheometer. From the DSC results of the blends, the temperature of the exothermic peak and cure activation energy (E) using a half-width method were increased with increasing the PSF content to neat epoxy resin up to 30 wt%. However, a marginal decrease in the blend system was shown in E. The conversion ($\alpha$) and conversion rate (d$\alpha$/dt) were decreased as the content of PSF increases. Rheological properties of the blend system were investigated under isothermal condition using a rheometer. Cross-linking activation energy (E$_{c}$) was determined from the Arrhenius equation based on gel time and curing temperature. As a result, the E$_{c}$ showed a similar behavior with E which could be resulted from high viscosity of PSF and the phase separation between DGEBA and PSF.PSF.f PSF and the phase separation between DGEBA and PSF.PSF.

Since the heating values of swine manures were very low at 859~1,075 kcal/kg, it was necessary to convert to carbonization residue by carbonization processes among thermal processes. The most important factor in the carbonization process of swine manure is the carbonization temperature, and it was evaluated the optimal range of carbonization temperature for swine manure in this study by the thermal characteristics and the reaction kinetics. The carbonization of swine manure could be described by the 1st order reaction and Arrhenius equation. The frequency factor (lnA) and the activation energy were estimated to be 3.05~13.08 and 6.94~18.05 kcal/mol, respectively. The range of optimal carbonization temperature range of swine manure was $260{\sim}300^{\circ}C$.

Thermal degradation of Acrylonitrile butadiene rubber(NBR), which is used for O-ring material as elastomeric sealed diaphragm value in the nuclear power plants, is examined. The thermal degradation is accelerated at 130$^{\circ}C$ by Arrhenius exploit method using the activation energy calculated by thermogravimetric analysis. The weight loss temperature and glass transition temperature are verified for thermally aged NBR. The relationship between dynamic mechanical properties and elongation at break are also investigated. The threshold alue of thermally aged NBR is a ten year in the change of elongation at break.
