The experiment was carried out for the purpose of studying the carburization of pure iron ingot and sintered iron powder by solid carbon in the atmosphere of CO gas. The volocity of carburization was estimaed by the diffusion coefficient D calculated by carburization equation. The results obtained were as follow: 1. The higher the carburization temperature, carburization depth and carbon concentration were increased, and the melting zone which had $2.8{\sim}3.4%C$ at the $3{\sim}4mm$ from interface of carburization was formed at $1300^{\circ}C$. 2. The main carburization mechanism of pure iron ingot and the sintered iron powder were proceeded by CO gas up to $1100^{\circ}C$, solid carbon over than $1300^{\circ}C$, respectively. 3. The main carburization mechanism of pure iron ingot at $1200^{\circ}C$ was proceeded by solid carbon, and sintered iron powder was proceeded bs CO gas, however, in case the reaction time, the carburization was proceeded by solid carbon over than 5hrs. 4. The diffusion coefficient D of carbon were $0.559{\times}10^{-6}cm^2.sec^{-1}$ at $1100^{\circ}C$, $0.237{\times}10^{-6}cm^2.sec^{-1}$ at $1200^{\circ}C$, $0.087{\times}10^{-6}cm^2.sec^{-1}$ at $1300^{\circ}C$, in case of pure iron ingot carburized. 5. The diffusion coefficient D of carbon were $0.124\;cm^2.sec^{-1}$ at $1100^{\circ}C$, $0.102\;cm^2.sec^{-1}$ at $1200^{\circ}C$, $0.480\;{\times}10^{-6}cm^2.sec^{-1}$ at $1300^{\circ}C$, in the case of sintered iron carburized at the pressuring $4ton\;/\;cm^2$.

This study was investigated in carbon diffusion behavior of laser-carburized TiZrN coating layer and the changes of mechanical properties. The carbon paste was deposited on TiZrN coatings, and the laser was irradiated to carburize into the coatings. The XRD peak corresponding to the (111) plane shifted to a lower angle after the carburization, showing the lattice expansion by doped carbon. The decreased grain size implied the compression by the grain boundary diffusion of carbon. The XPS spectra for the bonding states of carbon was analyzed that carbon was substitute to nitrogen atoms in TiZrN, as carbide, through the thermal energy of laser. In addition, the combination of sp2 and sp3 hybridized bonds represented the formation of an amorphous carbon. The cross-sectional TEM image and the inverse FFT of the TiZrN coating after carburizing were observed as the wavy shape, confirming the amorphous phase located in grain boundaries. After the carburization, the hardness increased from 34.57 GPa to 38.24 GPa, and the friction coefficient decreased by 83 %. In particular, the ratio of hardness and elastic modulus (H/E) which is used as an index of the elastic recovery, increased from 0.11 to 0.15 and the wear rate improved by 65 %.

Extraction of manganese was investigated with nitric acid from the dust which was generated in the AOD process producing a medium-low carbon ferromanganese from a high carbon ferromanganese. Content of manganese oxide in the dust was about 90%, and phase of it was confirmed as $Mn_3O_4$, The $Mn_3O_4$ particles was agglomerated as spherical shape, and had a lot of pore and crack inside. Maximum recovery of Mn from the sample in the leaching step was about 67% and residue was the amorphous $MnO_2$. The extraction of Mn increased with increasing temperature, but decreased in proportion to concentration of nitric acid. The extraction rate was in good agreement with the pore diffusion model.

Synthesis of carbon nanofibers on a metal substrate by an ethylene fueled inverse diffusion flame was illustrated. Stainless steel plates were used for the catalytic metal substrate. The effects of radial distance and residence time of the substrate were investigated. The role of hydrocarbon composition in the fuel was also viewed. Nanofibers with a diameter range of 30-70 nm were found on the substrate. The carbon nanofibers were formed and grown in the region from 4 to 5.5 mm from the central axis of a flame outside of the visible flame front in the radial direction. The minimum residence time required for the formation of carbon nanofibers were about 20 seconds, and over 60 seconds were required for the full-scale growth. The characteristic time of the formation of carbon nanofibers was much shorter than that of the substrate temperature growth. In this study, the variation in hydrocarbon composition had no significant effect on the formation and growth of the carbon nanofibers.

The adsorption of disperse yellow 3 (DY 3) on granular activated carbon (GAC) was investigated for isothermal adsorption and kinetic and thermodynamic parameters by experimenting with initial concentration, contact time, temperature, and pH of the dye as adsorption parameters. In the pH change experiment, the adsorption percent of DY 3 on activated carbon was highest in the acidic region, pH 3 due to electrostatic attraction between the surface of the activated carbon with positive charge and the anion (OH^-) of DY 3. The adsorption equilibrium data of DY 3 fit the Langmuir isothermal adsorption equation best, and it was found that activated carbon can effectively remove DY 3 from the calculated separation factor (R_L). The heat of adsorption-related constant (B) from the Temkin equation did not exceed 20 J mol^-1, indicating that it is a physical adsorption process. The pseudo second order kinetic model fits well within 10.72% of the error percent in the kinetic experiments. The plots for Weber and Morris intraparticle diffusion model were divided into two straight lines. The intraparticle diffusion rate was slow because the slope of the stage 2 (intraparticle diffusion) was smaller than that of stage 1 (boundary layer diffusion). Therefore, it was confirmed that the intraparticle diffusion was rate controlling step. The free energy change of the DY 3 adsorption by activated carbon showed negative values at 298 ~ 318 K. As the temperature increased, the spontaneity increased. The enthalpy change of the adsorption reaction of DY 3 by activated carbon was 0.65 kJ mol^-1, which was an endothermic reaction, and the entropy change was 2.14 J mol^-1 K^-1.

The dynamics of fluid flow through nanomachines is completely different from that of continuum. In this study, molecular dynamics simulations were performed for the flow of helium, neon, argon inside carbon(graphite) nanotubes of several sizes. The fluid was introduced into the nanotube at a given initial velocity according to given temperature. Diffusion coefficients were evaluated by Green-Kubo equation derived from Einstein relationship. The behaviour of the fluid was strongly dependent on the density of fluid and tube diameter, not on the tube length. It was found that the diffusion Coefficients increased With decreasing the density of molecules and increasing the diameter and temperature.

고분자전해질 연료전지 (PEMFC)의 가격 결정 요인 중 막 전극 접합체 (MEA)가 차지하는 비중은 약 45%정도이며, 이것을 구성하는 주요 부품인 기체 확산층 (GDL)은 carbon paper나 carbon cloth 형태가 사용되고 있다. 그렇지만 GDL을 제조하는 공정은 매우 복잡하고, 그 가격이 너무 높은 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 카본블랙, 흑연 등의 탄소화합물과 polymer binder를 이용하여 단순화된 공정으로 GDL을 제조하였다. 또한, GDL의 물리적 특성이 전극 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 표면 morphology, 접촉각 및 표면에너지, 전기전도도, 기체투과도, porosity, pore distrivution 등을 측정하였고, 각각의 GDL 표면에 동량의 Pt 촉매를 도포하여 MEA를 제작한 후 그 성능을 평가하였다.

The effect of adding carbon dioxide to methane-air flame was investigated experimentally. Measurements included extinction limits, flame temperature and photographic investigation of flame. A diffusion flame was stabilized between counterflowing streams of methane diluted with carbon dioxide and air diluted with carbon dioxide. Extinction limits and temperature for such flames were measured over a wide parametric range and were compared with those for other flames that fuel or oxidant was diluted with nitrogen or argon. The experimental results indicate that extinction phenomena can be explained by thermal effect and as an amount of carbon dioxide in fuel or oxidant increases, greatly as compared with other flames flame-temperature falls and flame-thickness is reduced.
