An oxygen free copper was severely deformed by accumulative roll-bonding (ARB) process for improvement of its mechanical properties. Two copper sheets 1 m thick, 30 mm wide and 300 m long are first degreased and wire-brushed for sound bonding. The sheets are then stacked to each other, and roll-bonded by about $50\%$ reduction rolling without lubrication at ambient temperature. The bonded sheet is then cut to the two pieces of same dimensions and the same procedure was repeated to the sheets up to eight cycles $(\varepsilon-6.4)$. TEM observation revealed that ultrafine grains were developed after the third cycle, and their size was slightly increased at higher cycles. Tensile strength of the copper increased with the strain at low strain levels, but it hardly increased from 3 cycles $(\varepsilon>2.4)$ due to occurrence of dynamic recovery, even if the imposed strain increased.

Quantitative analytical condition for lead and cadmium in copper contained carbon materials using solvent extraction followed by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry was studied. Copper contained carbon samples were dissolved by nitric acid-perchloric acid digestion. Lead and cadmium were determined after separation with KCN masked copper by an dithizone-chloroform solvent extraction. Recovery efficiency of analyte elements was satisfactory, and most of matrix elements causing interference could be effectively eliminated by the separation. Lead and cadmium were quantitatively determined without influence of sample matrix, by applying it procedure to artifact sample.

The $NO_2$ gas-detection characteristics were investigated using the functional organic Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) films of Copper-tetra-tert-butylphthalocyanine(CuTBP). The optimum conditions for a film deposition were obtained through a study of $\pi$-A isotherms, and the deposited film status was confirmed by the ellipsometry measurements. The $NO_2$ gas response experiments under 200 ppm concentration at room temperature show that there are increment of electrical conductivity by 40 times and 25 seconds of response time, and 40 seconds of recovery times.

It is well known that the metallo-phthalocyanines (MPcs) are sensitive to toxic gaseous molecules such as NO$_2$ as well as are chemically and thermally stable. Therefore, lots of MPcs have been studied as the potential chemical sensor for NO$_2$gas using quartz crystal microbalance(QCM) or electrical conductivity. In this study, thin films of octa(2-ethylhexyloxy)copper-phthalocyanine were prepared by Langmuir-Blodgett method and characterized by using UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy and ellipsometry. Optimal transfer condition of LB films was investigated and preliminary results of current-voltage(I-V) characteristics of these films exposed to NO$_2$gas as a function of film thickness, temperature and concentration were discussed.

In this paper, $NO_2$ gas detection characteristics of Octa-dodecyloxy copper-phthalocyanine films prepared by LB method was investigated measuring the electrical conductance of these films. The electivity characteristics of these LB films exposed to $NO_2, NO, and SO_2$ gas was also investigated. Conductivity activation energy of these films as a function of temperature was obtained.

Polarization measurements were peformed to investigate the electrochemical behavior of copper ions and limiting current density in waste rinse water from copper electroplating processes. A newly designed cyclone type electrolyzer was tested to recover the copper powder. Synthetic solutions were prepared using analytical grade $CuSO_4$ to the desired waste water concentration and pH was adjusted with $H_2$$SO_4$. Electrowinning was peformed at room temperature and the solution was cycled with a pump. Results showed that more than 99 percent of Cu was recovered and the size of the recovered Cu powder ranges from 0.1 - $0.5\mu\textrm{m}$. The chemical composition of the Cu powder mainly consists of $Cu_2$O and Cu and can be easily reduced to pure Cu powder.

The composites of alginate, carbon nanotube, and iron(III) oxide were prepared for the removal of heavy metal in aqueous pollutant. Both alginate and carbon nanotube were used as an adsorbent material and iron oxide was introduced for the easy recovery after removal of heavy metal to eliminate the secondary pollution. The morphology of composites was investigated by FE-SEM showing the carbon nanotubes coated with alginate and the iron oxide dispersed in the alginate matrix. The ferromagnetic properties of composites were shown by including iron(III) oxide additive. The copper ion removal was investigated with ICP AES. The copper ion removal efficiency increased greatly over 60% by using alginate-carbon nanotube composites.

The NO$_2$ gas-detection characteristics were investigated using the functional organic Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) film of Copper-tetra-tert-butylphalocyanine(CUTBP). The optimum conditions for a film deposition were obtained through a study of $\pi$-A isotherm and the deposited film status was confirmed by ellipsometry measurements. In the NO$_2$ response experiments, first of all, the proper number of layer was obtained by a change of the electrical conductivities depending on the number of layer when the film is exposed to the gas. And response time, recovery time, and reproducibility were measured on it. On the other hand, how the NO$_2$ gas interacts to the LB film was studied by UV/visible absorption spectra.

We have investigated air/200ppm NO$_2$ gas-detector characteristics of using CuTBP (Copper-tetra-tert-butylphthalocyanine) chemiresistor devices. The CuTBP films were made by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) techniques. Sensitivity, response time, recovery time, and repoducibility of the devices were measured by current-voltage characteristics. To increase sensitivity, interdigital electrode was used. It was found that a conductance G increases monotonically as the number of interdigital electrode increases, and a Sensitivity, Reproducibility is stable. As far as a current is concerned, the current when N=25 is greater than that when N=1 by 70 or so. It indicates that the number of interdigital electrodes affects the current, sensitivity and stability We have also investigated applicability of the CuTBP chemiresistor device for a gas detector.

We have manufacture Copper-tetra-tert-butylphalocyanine (CuTBP)Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) films, which is known be sensitive to NO$_2$ gab. A response of these films to the NO$_2$ gab was studied. A surface pleasure of 25mN/m was obtained as a proper one for a film deposition. A deposited film status was identified with Uv/visible absorption spectra, ellipsometry measurements, and current-voltage(I-Y) characteristics. The NO$_2$ gas response experiments under 200ppm conducentration show that there are increment of electrical conductivity by 12 times, 5 seconds of response time, and 5 seconds of response time, and 90 seconds of recovery time.
