Flue gas control systems for small-scale combustors must be designed to provide highly effective removal of three criteria pollutants (S $O_{2}$, N $O_{x}$ and particulate matter), and must be safe, reliable and small. These requirements make dry, regenerative clean-up process particularly attractive and this paper describes a new concept for integrated pollutant control : a filter comprised of layered, gas permeable membranes that act as an S $O_{2}$ sorbant, a N $O_{x}$ reduction catalyst and a particulate filter. A mixed metal oxide sorbent, Cu-Ce was used as a sorbent/catalyst and the activity was compared with Cu-7Al. The S $O_{2}$ removal eficiency of Cu-Ce was increased with temperature increase up to 500$^{\circ}$C and the catalytic activity for NO was higher than that of Cu-7Al. By the sulfation of Cu-Ce, the reduction activity was increased at the temperature higher than 350$^{\circ}$C. The regeneration of Cu-Ce was very fast and some amount of elemental sulfar was found.

Two copper(II) complexes, [CuL3](ClO4)2 bearing one N-CH2CH2CONH2 group as well as one N-CH2CH2CN group and [CuL4](ClO4)2 bearing two N-CH2CH2CONH2 groups, have been prepared by the selective hydrolysis of [CuL2](ClO4)2 (L2 = C-meso-1,8-bis(cyanoethyl)-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane). The complex [CuL5](ClO4)2 bearing one N-CH2CH2C(=NH)OCH3 and one N-CH2CH2CN groups has been prepared as the major product from the reaction of [CuL2](ClO4)2 with methanol in the presence of triethylamine. In acidic aqueous solution, the N-CH2CH2C(=NH)OCH3 group of [CuL5](ClO4)2 undergoes hydrolysis to yield [CuL6](ClO4)2 bearing both N-CH2CH2COOCH3 and N-CH2CH2CN groups. The crystal structure of [CuL5](ClO4)2 shows that the complex has a slightly distorted square-pyramidal coordination polyhedron with an apical Cu-N (N-CH2CH2C(=NH)OCH3 group) bond. The apical Cu-N bond distance (2.269(3) A) is ca. 0.06 A longer than the apical Cu-O (N-CH2CH2CONH2 group) bond of [CuL4](ClO4)2. The pendant amide group of [CuL3](ClO4)2 is involved in coordination. The carboxylic ester group of [CuL6](ClO4)2 is also coordinated to the metal ion in various solvents but is removed from the coordination sphere in the solid state.

The correlation was investigated between the observed heat of ligation and calculated bond energy for square planar and octahedral Cu(II) complexes by EHMO (Extended Huckel Molecular Orbital) method. It was found that net charge of $Cu^{2+}$ ion of both square planar $[Cu(H_2O)_{4-x}(NH_3)_x]^{2+}$(X = 0, 1, 2,${\ldots}$4) and octahedral $[Cu(H_2O)_{6-x}(NH_3)_x]^{2+}$complexes (X = 0, 1, 2,${\ldots}$6) is decreased with substituting $NH_3$ for $H_2O$ molecule. It was found that a good relationship exists between the observed heat of ligation and the calculated bond energy. From this fact, we can obtain a linear equation ${\Delta}H$ = 0.1194$E_{diss}$ + 0.4718, theoretical equation.

Various materials including conductive, dielectric, and semi-conductive materials, constitute suitable candidates for printed electronics. Metal nanoparticles (e.g. Ag, Cu, Ni, Au) are typically used in conductive ink. However, easily oxidized metals, such as Cu, must be processed at low temperatures and as such, photonic sintering has gained significant attention as a new low-temperature processing method. This method is based on the principle of selective heating of a strongly absorbent film, without light-source-induced damage to the transparent substrate. However, Cu nanoparticles used in inks are susceptible to the growth of a native copper-oxide layer on their surface. Copper-oxide-nanoparticle ink subjected to a reduction mechanism has therefore been introduced in an attempt to achieve long-term stability and reliability. In this work, a flash-light sintering process was used for the reduction of an inkjet-printed Cu(II)O thin film to a Cu film. Using a photographic lighting instrument, the intensity of the light (or intense pulse light) was controlled by the charged power (Ws). The resulting changes in the structure, as well as the optical and electrical properties of the light-irradiated Cu(II)O films, were investigated. A Cu thin film was obtained from Cu(II)O via photo-thermal reduction at 2500 Ws. More importantly, at one shot of 3000 Ws, a low sheet resistance value ($0.2527{\Omega}/sq.$) and a high resistivity (${\sim}5.05-6.32{\times}10^{-8}{\Omega}m$), which was ~3.0-3.8 times that of bulk Cu was achieved for the ~200-250-nm-thick film.

A determination method of aromatic amino acids such as trytophan (Trp), tyrosine (Tyr), and phenylalanine (Phe) using luminol-$H_2O_2$-Cu(II) system has been presented. In the presence of an aromatic amino acid, the enhanced chemiluminescence (CL) intensity of luminol-$H_2O_2$-Cu(II) system was obtained by forming a complex between Cu(II) and the amino acid. Based on the above phenomenon, a sensitive and fast determination of three aromatic amino acids was performed using the CL method in batch-type detection system. To optimize determination conditions, the kinetic influence of an aromatic amino acid on the luminol-$H_2O_2$-Cu(II) system and the effects of $H_2O_2$ and Cu(II) concentration, pH, and buffers were investigated. Under the optimized conditions, the calibration curve was linear over the range from $1.0{\times}10^{-6}$ to $2.0{\times}10^{-5}\;M$ for Trp, $1.0{\times}10^{-6}$ to $2.0{\times}10^{-5}\;M$ for Try, and $2.0{\times}10^{-6}$ to $2.0{\times}10^{-5}\;M$ for Phe, respectively. In this range, reproducibility (RSD, n = 4) of Trp, Try, and Phe were 3.21%, 2.64%, and 2.48%, respectively. The limit of detection ($3{\sigma}/s$) was calculated to be $6.8{\times}10^{-7}\;M$ for Trp, $5.7{\times}10^{-7}\;M$ for Try, and $9.6{\times}10^{-7}\;M$ for Phe.

In this study, copper (II) oxide powder for electroplating was prepared by recovering CuCl₂ from NaClO₃ type etching wastes via recovered non-sintering two step chemical reaction. In case of alkali copper carbonate [mCuCo₃·nCu(OH)₂], first reaction product, CuCo₃ is produced more than Cu(OH)₂ when the reaction molar ratio of sodium carbonate is low, since m is larger than n. As the reaction molar ratio of sodium carbonate increased, m is larger than n and Cu(OH)₂ was produced more than CuCO₃. In the case of m has same values as n, the optimum reaction mole ratio was 1.44 at the reaction temperature of 80℃ based on the theoretical copper content of 57.5 wt. %. The optimum amount of sodium hydroxide was 120 g at 80℃ for production of copper (II) oxide prepared by using basic copper carbonate product of first reaction. At this time, the yield of copper (II) oxide was 96.6 wt.%. Also, the chloride ion concentration was 9.7 mg/L. The properties of produced copper (II) oxide such as mean particle size, dissolution time for sulfuric acid, and repose angle were 19.5 mm, 64 second, and 34.8°, respectively. As a result of the hole filling test, it was found that the copper oxide (II) prepared with 120 g of sodium hydroxide, the optimum amount of basic hydroxide for copper carbonate, has a hole filling of 11.0 mm, which satisfies the general hole filling management range of 15 mm or less.

The catalytic activity of poly[(2,2'-bipyridine)copper(II)-μ4-oxalato] coated on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for O2 electroreduction is examined using cyclic voltammetry and rotating disk electrode techniques. The cyclic voltammograms show that O2 is electroreduced on pBpCuOx-coated GCE surfaces at a peak potential of ? 0.25 V in pH 4.7 acetate buffer media. The electroreduction of O2 on pBpCuOx-coated GCE occurs at 450 mV more positive potential than that found at a bare GCE. The catalytic activity originates from Cu(II) coordinated by bipyridine in the complexes and the polymer type Cu-complex films exhibit an enhanced stability compared to monomeric Cu-complexes during the O2 electroreduction. The rotating disk electrode measurements reveal that the electroreduction of O2 on pBpCuOx-coated GCE is a four-electron process. Kinetic parameters for O2 reduction on pBpCuOx-coated GCE are obtained from rotating disk experiments and compared with those on bare glassy carbon electrode surfaces.

Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes with tetradentate schiff base-$NOTDH_2$, were synthesized. The structures of these complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-visible, NMR spectra, and thermogravimetric analysis. The mole ratio of schiff base($NOTDH_2$) to the metal(II) at complexes was found to be 1:1. Cu(II) complexes were four-coordinated configuration, while Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes were hexacoordinated configuration containing two water molecules and all complexes were non-ionic compounds.

Activated catalysts decomposed carbon dioxide to carbon at $350^{\circ}C$, $380^{\circ}C$, $410^{\circ}C$ and $440^{\circ}C$. The value of carbon dioxide decomposition rate for $Cu_{0.003}Fe_{2.997}O_4$ and $Zn_{0.003}Fe_{2.997}O_4$ catslysts than was better catalysts. The decomposed rate of the catalysts is about 85%${\sim}$90%. The reaction rate constant(4.00 $psi^{1-{\alpha}}/min$) and activation energy(2.62 kcal/mole) of $Cu_{0.003}Fe_{2.997}O_4$ catalyst are better than $Zn_{0.003}Fe_{2.997}O_4$

A solvent sublation using salphen as a ligand was studied and applied for the determination of trace Ni(II), Co(II) and Cu(II) in water samples. The fundamental study was investigated by a solvent extraction process because the solvent sublation was done by extracting the floated analytes into an organic solvent from the aqueous solution. The salphen complexes of Ni(II), Co(II) and Cu(II) ions were formed in an alkaline solution of more than pH 8 and then they were extracted into m-xylene. It was known that the each metallic ion formed 1 : 1 complex with the salphen and the logarithmic values of extraction constants for the complexes were 3.3 5.1 as an average value. Based on the preliminary study, the procedure was fixed for the separation and concentration of the analytes in samples. Various conditions such as the pH of solutions, the influence of $NaClO_4$, the bubbling rate and time of $N_2$ gas, and the type of organic solvent were optimized. The metal-salphen complexes could be extracted into m-xylene from the solution of more than pH 8, but the pH could be shifted to acidic solution of pH 6 by the addition of $NaClO_4$. In addition, the solvent sublation efficiency of the analytes was increased by adding $NaClO_4$. The recovery of 97-115% was obtained in the spiked samples in which given amounts of 0.3 mg/L Ni(II), 0.8 mg/L Co(II) and 0.04 mg/L Cu(II) were added.
