In this study, we evaluated the toxic effects of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Zn) on the population growth rate (r) of the marine diatom, Skeletonema costatum. S. costatum. The population growth rate (r) of the species was determined after 96 hrs. of exposure to Cd (0, 0.63, 1.25, 2.50, 5.00, 10.00 ppm), Cu (0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50 ppm) and Zn (0, 0.31, 0.63, 1.25, 2.00, 2.50, 5.00 ppm). It was observed that 'r' in the control (absence of Cd, Cu and Zn) were greater than 0.05, however suddenly decreased with increased heavy metal concentrations. Cd, Cu and Zn reduced 'r' in a dose-dependent manner and a significant reduction were occurred at concentration of greater than 1.25, 1.25 and 2.50 ppm, respectively. Based on the toxicity, the heavy metal were ranked as Cu>Zn>Cd, with EC50 values of 1.11, 2.13 and 6.84 ppm, respectively. The lowest-observed-effective-concentration (LOEC) of 'r' in exposed to Cd, Cu and Zn were 1.25, 1.00, 2.00 ppm, respectively. Precisely, a concentration of greater than 1.25 ppm of Cd, 1.00 ppm of Cu and 2.00 ppm of Zn in marine ecosystems induced toxic effect on the 'r' of S. costatum. Based on our results, we suggested that the 'r' of S. costatum might be a useful bio indicator for the toxicity assessment of heavy metals in marine ecosystems.

Soil samples collected from paddy field adjacent to zinc-mining sites were sequentially extracted to assess chemical fractions of Cd, Zn, Cu and Pb. The purpose of this study was two fold; (i) to examine the chemical forms of heavy metal in soils by sequential extraction. and (ii) to determine relationships between the chemical distribution of heavy metal in the soil and the heavy metal content of the brown rice. The results are summarized as follows. The content of exchangeable, organically bound and carbonate Cd and residual Zn was 73.9% and 63.8% of total Cd and Zn in the soil, respectively. The content of exchangeable Cd, Zn and Pb in soil showed highly negative correlations with pH, organically bound Cd, carbonate Cd, sulfide Cd, Zn and Pb in soil showed highly positive correlations with pH. The content of organically bound Cd, Zn, Pb and carbonate Cu in soil showed highly positive correlations with organic matter content, while the content of sulfide Cu and residual Cd in soil showed highly negative correlation with organic matter content. The content of carbonate Cd, Zn, Pb and residual Cu in soil showed highly positive correlations with CEC, but the content of exchangeable Cd, Zn, Cu, Pb and organically bound Cu in soil showed highly negative correlations with CEC. The content of total, organically bound, carbonate, sulfide and residual Cd in soil were highly correlated with that of Cd in brown rice. The content of any Pb fractions in soil were not correlated with that of Pb in brown rice. The content of water soluble and exchangeable Zn in soil were highly correlated with that of Zn in brown rice.

$Cu_2ZnSnS_4$ (CZTS) thin films were fabricated by successive electrodeposition of layers of precursor elements followed by sulfurization of an electrodeposited Cu-Zn-Sn precursor. In order to improve quality of the CZTS films, we tried to optimize the deposition condition of absorber layers. In particular, I have conducted optimization experiments by changing the Cu-layer deposition time. The CZTS absorber layers were synthesized by different Cu-layer conditions ranging from 10 to 16 minutes. The sulfurization of Cu/Sn/Zn stacked metallic precursor thin films has been conducted in a graphite box using rapid thermal annealing (RTA). The structural, morphological, compositional, and optical properties of CZTS thin films were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray Flourescenece Spectrometry (XRF). Especially, the CZTS TFSCs exhibits the best power conversion efficiency of 4.62% with $V_{oc}$ of 570 mV, $J_{sc}$ of $18.15mA/cm^2$ and FF of 45%. As the time of deposition of the Cu-layer to increasing, the properties were confirmed to be systematically changed. And we have been discussed in detail below.

In this paper, to discover the brightness improvement of ZnS:Cu powder electroluminescence (EL), a new structure is proposed in which phosphor and dielectric are mixed between electrodes. Dielectric and phosphor material are BaTiO$_3$ and ZnS:Cu, respectively. The effect of the mixed layer on EL sample is considered the improvement of source efficiency. Although the number of electrons introduced into the phosphor increases only modestly, the high electric field region of phosphor grains increases comparatively in the characteristics of brightness-voltage. Furthermore, the relaxation occurs through leading and trailing edge pairs, which is relatively efficient in characteristics of decay time. With these results, we found that the brightness of newly proposed ZnS:Cu powder electroluminescence was 167.24 cd/$m^2$ at ac voltage of 100V and frequency of 400Hz.

Sediments were collected from eight stations in JJJJinhae Bay and heavy metals were fractionated into the adsoibed reducible, oxidizable and residual fractions. Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn in each fraction were determined by atomic absorption spectriphotmetry. Cd was shown to be mainly in the adsorbed form, Cu in the oxidizable and resedual fractions, and Pb and Zn mainly in the seducible fractions. The total concentrations of Cu, Pb and Zn in sediments decreased gradually with increasing distance from the heak of the bay, and the relationship of linear segression was obtained.

산업부산자원으로부터 유입되는 중금속이 시멘트 수화반응에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 출발물질은 순수시약을 사용하여 $C_3$S와 $C_2$S 조성으로 배합하고 여기에 Zn, Cu, Cr의 중금속 산화물을 1000ppm, 2000ppm, 3000ppm 첨가하여 150$0^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 소결하여 중금속의 고용분배, 결정구조, 용출상태 그리고 수화열을 관찰하였다. 중금속중 Zn는 $C_3$S와 간극질에 집중 고용되고 Cu는 간극물질에 집중 고용되며 Cr은 $C_3$S와 $C_2$S에 집중 고용되었다. 광학현미경 및 XRD 관찰결과 중금속 함량별로 $C_3$S와 $C_2$S의 결정상에는 큰 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 7일간 수화시 Zn는 40~50%, Cu와 Cr은 전량 용출되었다. Conduction calorimeter 분석결과 중금속 함량별 변화에도 $C_3$S와 $C_2$S 수화열에는 차이가 없었다.

본 논문에서는 최근 고품위 TV 및 고정세도 디스플레이용으로 화상의 정세도를 향상시키기 위해 수평주파수를 높이려는 움직임이 있어, 편향 요크용 페라이트 코아에는 고주파수 영역에 있어서도 코아로스가 낮은 재료가 요구되고 있는 실정이다. Mg-Zn 페라이트에 있어서 화학조성 및 프로세스가 미세구조에 미치는 영향에 착안하여 저온 소결화를 하였다. 저손실인 Mg-Zn계 Ferrite에 Cu를 첨가하였다. MgO, ZnO, Fe$_2$O$_3$, CuO를 선택한 후 조성비의 변화를 두며 CuO를 MgO로 치환하였다. 이 시료를 98$0^{\circ}C$~135$0^{\circ}C$까지 3시간 소결하였다. 측정은 투자율, 전력손실 수축율, 코아로스를 측정하였다. 시료의 수축율을 개시하는 온도는 90$0^{\circ}C$ 부근이며 Cu치환에 따라 수축율이 증가하였으며, Cu치환에 따라 소성온도가 약 -5$0^{\circ}C$~75$^{\circ}C$ 낮아졌다.

In this paper, the emission and aging properties of ZnS:Cu electroluminescent device were experiment respectively at room temperature and 7$0^{\circ}C$ relative humidity 100%. ZnS:Cu and BaTiO$_3$were respectively used for phosphor and dielectric. While AC 100V on 400Hz frequency were applied to the devices at room temperature and 70$_3$relative humidity 100%, the change of brightness were measured and compared. The surface of aged devices were investigated by scanning electron microscope. With the continuously operated environment of room temperature and 7$0^{\circ}C$ relative humidity 100%, the decay time were measured and the dark spot and aging status on the surface of the device were investigated. ZnS:Cu electroluminescent properties were deteriorated by the Increased temperature and humidity. Also the deteriorated properties were confirmed by the brightness and surface chanties of device, and the aging mechanism from the simulation on sulfur vacancy and deep tracts density.

탄화수소 연료(LNG, LPG)를 개질하여 수소를 제조하는 연료 처리 공정 중, 탈황 기술은 촉매의 활성저하 및 전극의 피독을 방지하기 위한 필수 기술이다. 본 연구에서는 도시가스 및 액화석유 가스용 부취제로 사용되는 유기 황화합물(,DMS, THT, TBM)을 제거하기 위한 탈황제로서 Cu/ZnO계 흡착제를 개발하였다. 공침법을 이용하여 흡착제를 제조하여 각 부취제별로 상온 및 고온에서의 흡착탈황 성능을 조사하였으며 또한, 이의 특성분석을 행하였다. $Cu/ZnO/Al_2O_3$ 탈황제는 메탄으로부터 고온에서 TH, DMS, TBM+THT 등의 황화합물들을 매우 효과적으로 제거할 수 있었다. 특히, TBM+THT의 혼합가스에서 TBM에 대해 선택적인 흡착을 보였다. THT 흡착에서 흡착온도가 $300^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는, 흡착과정 동안 황의 상호작용으로 인해 금속황화물이 생성되었다.
