최근 산업이 고속도화, 고능률화 및 고정멸화의 추세로 발전함에 따라 우수한 내마모성, 인성, 고온 안정성 및 내구성을 갖는 공구 및 금형을 요구하게 되었다. 그러나 이와같은 성질들은 어떤 단일 재료에서는 얻을 수 없으며 적당한 기판공구나 금혈위에 내마모성 보호피막을 coating함으로 비교적 저렴하게 얻을 수 있다. 화학증착법으로 TiC, TiN등을 증착시킬때에는 $1000^{\circ}C$정도의 반응온도가 필요하며 이러한 증착온도는 모재가 초경합금일때는 문제가 안되나 강재일 경우 모재의 연화와 칫수변화의 문제를 야기시킨다. 최근에는 플라즈마를 사용하여 증착반응온도를 $550^{\circ}C$ 이하로 낮추는 플라즈마 화학 증착볍(PACVD)이 대두되고 있다. 그러나 이 방법어서 는 뚱착하려는 금속원소가 TiCl4의 형태로 공급되고 있으므로 생성된 층이 염소를 포함하고 있다. 이 층에 잔존하는 염소는 층의 기계적 성질을 저하시키고 층내의 stress를 유발시킨다. 또한 HCI개스의 생성으로 인하여 펌프 및 장비의 부식이 촉진 된다 이러한 결점을 극복하기 위하여 금속유기화합물 전구체(metallo-organic precursor)로 $TiCl_4$를 대체하고자 하는 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있으며 본 연구실에서 이에 대하여 연구한 결과를 소개하고자 한다. diethylamino titanium을 전구체로 사용하여 $H_2,\;N_2,\;Ar$분위기하에서 pulsed d.c.를 사용하는 MO-PACVD에 의하여 $150~250^{\circ}C$의 저온에서 Al 2024 기판에 TiCN층 형 성을 하였다. 전구체 증발온도는 $74~78^{\circ}C$의 온도범위어야 하며 고경도의 코탱층은 54% duty, 14.2kHz, 450V의 조건에서 얻어졌으며 duty, 주파수, 전압이 증가함에 따라 경도는 저하되었다. 이때의 표면 morphology를 SEM으로 조사한바 dome structure가 크게 발달되었음을 알 수 있었다. 본 실험의 온도 범위내에서 얻은 TiCN 증착반응의 활성화에너지는 7.5Kcal/mol이었다. 증착된 TiCN층은 우수한 내마모섣을 나타내었으며 스크래치테스트 결과 17N의 엄계하중을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 변화 시킨 duty, 주파수, 전압의 범위에서는 층의 밀착력은 크게 변화하지 않았다. titanium isopropoxide를 전구체로 사용하여 Hz, Nz 분위기하에서 d.c.를 사용하는 MO-PACVD에 의하여 Ti(NCO) 코팅층을 SKDll, SKD61, SKH9 공구강에 형성시키는 공정을 개발하였다. 최적의 Ti(NCO) 코탱층을 얻기 위해 유입전구체 부피%의 양은 향착압력의 5%를 넘지 않아야 되고 수소와 젤소 가스비가 1:1일 때 가장 높은 코팅층의 경도값을 나타내었다. 수소와 질소 가스비가 3:7일 때 TiFeCr(NCO)의 복화합물 코팅층이 형성됨을 알 수 있었고 500t의 증착온도에서 얻은 Ti(NCO) 코팅층이 높은 경도값과 좋은 내식성을 나타내었다. 또한 이와같은 Ti(NCO) 코팅공정과 본 실험실에서 개발한 확산층만 형성시키는 plsma nitriding 공정을 결합하여 복합코탱층을 형성하였는데 이 복합코팅층은 고경도와 우수한 내마모성, 내식성 뿐만 아니라 10)N 이상의 뛰어난 밀착력을 나타내었다. 현재 많이 사용되고 있는 PVD법은 step coverage가 좋지 않은 점과 cost intensive p process라는 단점이 있다. MO-PACVD법은 이러한 문제를 해결할 수 있는 방법으로서 앞으로 지속적인 도전이 요구되는 분야이다.

The suspended particulate matters have been collected on membrane filters and glass fiber filters by an 8-stage cascade impactor for 2 years (Sep. 2005${\sim}$Sep. 2007) in Kyung Hee University-Global Campus located on the border of Yongin and Suwon. The 20 chemical species (Al, Mn, Si, Fe, Cu, Pb, Cr, Ni, V, Cd, Ba, $Na^+$, ${NH_4}^+$, $K^+$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Cl^-$, ${NO_3}^-$, and ${SO_4}^{2-}$) were analyzed by an ICP-AES and an IC after performing proper pre-treatments of each sample filter. Based on these chemical information, the PMF receptor model was applied to identify the source of ambient size-by-size particulate matters. The receptor modeling is the one of the statistical methods to achieve resonable air pollution management strategies. A total of 10 sources was identified in 9 size-ranges such as long-range transport, secondary aerosol, $NH_{4}NO_{3}$ related source, coal combustion, sea-salt, soil, oil combustion, auto emission, incineration, and biomass burning. Especially, the secondary aerosol source assorted in fine and coarse modes was intensively studied.

PEMFC를 구성하는 여러 부품 중 핵심부품은 MEA(Membrane Electrode Assembly)으로서 실제 연료전지 반응이 일어나며 연료전지의 성능을 결정하는 부품이다. 그러나 PEMFC의 특성 상 촉매로 귀금속인 Pt가 사용됨에 따라 경제성이 확보된 MEA의 성능을 얻기 위해선 현재 Pt 담지량을 0.3mg/$cm^2$ 이하로 크게 감소시키면서 Pt촉매의 고분산화와 미반응 사이트의 감소가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 Pt 촉매의 미반응 사이트를 줄이고자 전기영동법에 의해 카본전극(carbon black + GDL) 상에 Pt 나노입자를 직접 석출시켜 Pt/C 촉매 전극을 제조 하였다. 본 실험에서는 가장 좋은 Pt 나노입자의 석출거동을 나타낸 30mA/$cm^2$, pH 2, duty cycle 25% 조건을 기준으로 하여 electro-deposition time을 통한 석출량 제어와 carbon paper의 wet proofing 정도에 따른 Pt의 석출거동을 조사하였으며, 종래의 방법으로 제조한 Pt/C 촉매전극의 전기화학적 특성과 비교 분석하였다. 전기영동 석출법에 사용된 Pt나노입자는 $H_2PtCl_6{\cdot}6H_2O$로부터 화학적 환원법으로 합성한 2~3nm 입경을 갖는 Pt콜로이드를 사용하였으며, magnetic stirring과 항온 ($20^{\circ}C$)을 유지하여 실험하였다. 전기영동 석출량 제어는 electro-deposition time을 5~25분까지 5분 간격으로 나누어 실험하였고 카본전극을 구성하는 carbon paper의 wet proofing 정도가 Pt 나노입자 석출거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 20, 40, 60%의 서로 다른 wet proofing 값을 갖는 carbon paper를 사용하여 Pt/C 촉매 전극을 제조하였다. 전기영동법으로 석출된 카본블랙 전극 상 Pt나노입자의 분산도와 담지량는 각각 FE-SEM과 TGA 장비를 사용하여 측정하였고, 제조된 Pt/C 촉매 전극의 전기화학적 촉매 특성은 cyclic voltammetry(CV)법으로 측정하였다.

Laboratory study was conducted to provide basic data for operating anaerobic sequencing batch reactor(ASBR) process for treatment of nightsoil. The experiments were concerned with digestion characteristics, settleabiltity and dewaterability of digested sludge in ASBR system. Completely-mixed dally-fed control reactor without solid-liquid separation step was also operated to evaluate the baseline performance since the nature of nightsoil was changed with time. In all case, gas production from the ASBR shows 1.3 to 1.44 times higher than that from control, in spite of almost similar trend in organics removal. During thickening period, remarkable decrease in surface settling velocity was observed at the ASBRs compared with the control. In case of the ASBR run, flotation of mixed digested sludge was not occurred. Also, ultimate thickened volume of ASBRs increased 1.2~1.5 times compared with control. Dewaterability of digested sludge without conditioning decreased when the completely-mixed daily-fed reactor for ASBR run was converted to the ASBR. However, improvement of dewaterability of digested sludge from the ASBRs was observed as a result of addition of FeCl$_3$ to digested sludge for conditioning.

In previous our studies, we have reported that eugenol derived from Eugenia caryophyllata(Myrtaceace) exhibits acute N-methyl-D-aspartate(NMDA)- and oxygen/glucose deprivation-induced neurotoxicity in primary cortical cultures and protects hippocampal neurons from global ischemia. In this study, we investigated whether the extracts and fractions of E. caryophyllata or eugenol shows the neuroprotective effects against delayed neuronal injury evoked by NMDA or ${\alpha}$-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole propionate(AMPA), and oxidative damage induced by arachidonic acid-, hydrogen peroxide-, $FeCl_2$/ascorbic acid-, and buthionine sulfoximine(BSO) in primary cortical cultures. We examined the neurotoxicity of eugenol itself in cultures and inhibitory effect of eugenol on NMDA- or kainate(KA)-induced convulsion in BALB/c mice. Each water, methanol extract and methanol fraction of E. caryophyllata was significantly attenuated NMDA-induced delayed neurotoxicity, respectively. Eugenol exhibited a significant inhibitory action against the convulsion evoked by NMDA and KA, and reduced delayed or brief neurotoxicity induced by NMDA, AMPA, and various oxidative injuries. These results suggest that eugenol derived from E. caryophyllata may contribute the neuroprotection against delayed-type excitotoxicity and excitotoxins-mediated convulsion through the amelioration of oxidative stress.

A microbial flocculant-producing gram-positive bacterium, strain TE11, was isolated from soil samples, and was identified as Bacillus subtilis by using the Midi system, the Biolog system, 16S rDNA sequence analysis, and some physiological and morphological characteristics. The maximum flocculant capsular biopolymer of TE11 strain (BCP, 4.9mg/ml) was obtained when it was grown in GA broth medium containing 3% glutamic acid, 2% glycerol, 0.5% citric acid, 0.5% $NH_4$Cl, 0.05% $MgSO_4.7H_2O,\; 0.05%\;K_2HPO_4\;,\; and\; 0.004%\; FeC1_3. 6H_2O,\; pH 7.2,\; at\; 30^{\circ}C$ for 70 h with shaking. When glycerol was used as an additional carbon source in the GA medium, TE11 produced only flocculant BCP without any by-product. The flocculant (BCP) was found to aggregate suspended kaolin and activated charcoal powder without cations, and its flocculating activity was significantly enhanced by the addition of bivalent cations such as $Ca^{2＋}.Zn^{2},\; and\; Mn^{2＋}$. The flocculation activity by addition of $Ca^{2+}$ was high in an acidic pH 4.0. In the case of $Zn^{2＋}$, high flocculating activity remained without significant loss in the broad range of pH 4.0 to 9.0.

The wastewater was quickly and fastly cleared by the peel extracts of astringent persimmon fruits. The degree of clearness increased with increasing concentrations (400-600 mg/l) of the peel extracts of astringent persimmon fruits. The removal rates of T-P and CODcr in wastewater with lime and the peel extracts of astringent persimmon fruits were lower than ferric chloride and aluminium sulfate at 100-200 mg/l concentration but higher at above 300 mg/l concentration. The removal rate of T-P increased with increasing concentration of the peel extracts of astringent persimmon fruits.

To investigate the physio-chemical components and properties of aerosol particles in urban area sampling of aerosol particles was carried out in the campus of Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan, during snowfall. Aerosol particles were collected on millipore filter papers using a low volume air sampler. Their shapes, sizes and chemical components were analyzed by a SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) and an EDX(Energy Dispersive X-ray). As a results, ice crystals of dendrite and column types were predominantly shown at mature and developing stage of snowfall intensity. The denerite and sector plate types of ice crystals were mainly originated from the sea but column types were come from soil. Scavenging effect by snowfall was greatly also shown at dendrite type ice crystals that embryo was fully developd. Al, Si elements were shown at high frequencies as compared with others. Na, Cl components were especially shown at high frequencies under the sea-breeze wind during snowfall. Anthropogenic aerosol particles had shown with irregular shapes and sizes, relatively. Mainly 3-7$\mu$m aerosol particles were abundant and coarse particles also could be seen during snowfall. Ca, Zn, Fe components mainly caused by spike tires from vehicles in winter season were dominant before snowfall, however the element S mainly caused by human activity was rich after snowfall. The pH values of snow in Sapporo city were higher than those at coastal area. The concentration of chemical components in aerosol particles was also affected by surface winds. Aerosol particles in urban area, Sapporo were mainly affected by human activities like vehicles and combustion with wind system. And their types were related with snowfall intensity.

Effects of the precipitation of $\sigma$ phase on the metastable pitting as a precursor of stable pitting corrosion and also on the progress of stale pitting of the 25Cr-7Ni-3Mo-0.25N duplex stainless steel were investigated in chloride solution. Electrochemical potential and current noises of the alloy were measured in 10 % ferric chloride solution ($FeCl_3$) with zero resistance ammeter (ZRA), and then analyzed by power spectral density (PSD) and by corrosion admittance ($A_c$) spectrum. With aging at $850^{\circ}C$, the passive film of the alloy was found to get significantly unstable as represented by power spectral density (PSD) and a transition from metastable pitting state to stable one was observed. In the corrosion admittance spectrum, the number of negative $A_c$ corresponding to the state of localized corrosion increased with aging, suggesting that the precipitation of $\sigma$ phase considerably degraded the passive film by depleting Cr and Mo around it at $\alpha/\sigma$ or $\gamma/\sigma$ phase boundaries, thereby leading to the initiation of the pitting corrosion. However, the Cr and Mo at $\alpha/\sigma$ or $\gamma/\sigma$ phase boundaries which were once depleted due to the precipitation of the $\sigma$ phase were partly replenished by the diffusion of Cr and Mo from the surrounding matrix with aging time longer. The initiation of pitting seems to be associated with the precipitation density of the $\sigma$ phase with an effective size needed to induce the sufficient depletion of Cr and Mo around it.
