Investigation and policy related to floating debris are focused on water treatment or disposal costs, and water pollution caused by floating debris has not been evaluated. In this study, it was surveyed the water environment pollution on the stagnation zone by floating debris in Nakdong River basin of Busan Metropolitan City. The water quality of the constant stagnation zone had lower DO than that of the non-stagnation zone. COD and Chl-a showed similar concentrations in the both zones. As a result of the collecting net surveys which were kept floating during 3 months, the most abundant species(4 species) of arthropods appeared, and Chironomidae sp. is dominant. It was also resistant to the deteriorated water quality, and emerged as a Lepomis macrochirus on the stagnant waters with a slowly flow rate.

The investigation has been carried out for purification, single crystal growth mechanism and convective phenomena in EBFZM of Nb metal. It is found that the EBFZM refined effectively oxygen and nitrogen, the interstitial impurities in Nb, but carbon was increased slightly by backstream of diffusion pump oil. The mechanism of single crystal growth associated with the second recrystallieation in Nb was suggested from the relationship between texture of starting materials and the crystal growth in EBFZM. It was observed from the investigation of convection phenomena in molten zone that the Marangoni convection was dominant in molten zone, which caused the striation in Nb and increased the purification effect of oxygen and nitrogen.

The optimum conditons were experimentally established for the powder synthesis and sintering of the feed-rods for $LiNbO_3$ crystal growth by a floating zone method. At the lower synthesis temperatures(700, $ 800^{\circ}C$) the minor amounts of $Li_2CO_3$ and $Nb_2O_5$ were present in the synthesized $LiNbO_3$ powder and at the higher temperature the particle size increased which is not favorable for the sintering process for the feed-rods. $LiNbO_3$ powder synthesized at $950^{\circ}C$ for 12 hours was found to be the best because it contains only the$LiNbO_3$ phase with the small particle size and uniform particle size distribution. As the sintering temperature and the soaking time increase, the sintered feed-rods exhibited the higher sintered density and grain growth phenomena. The $LiNbO_3$ feed rods sintering at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours were found to have the best microstructure for the precursor feed-rods of the floating zone crystal growth because of their higher density, small grain size and uniform particle size distribution. As the sintering temperature and the soaking time increase, the sintered feed-rods exhibited the higher sintered density and grain growth phenomena. The $LiNbO_3$ feed rods sintering at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours were found to have the best microstructure for the precursor feed-rods of the floating zone crystal growth because of their density, small grain size and uniform grain size distribution.

A numerical analysis of thermal stress over temperature variations near the crystal-melt interface is carried out for a floating-zone growth of Cadmium Telluride (CdTe). Thermocapillary convection determines crystal-melt interfacial shape and signature of temperature in the crystal. Large temperature gradients near the crystal-melt interface yield excessive thermal stresses in a crystal, which affect the dislocations of the crystal. Based on the assumption that the crystal is elastic and isotropic, thermal stresses in a crystal are computed and the effects of operating conditions are investigated. The results show that the extreme thermal stresses are concentrated near the interface of a crystal and the radial and the tangential stresses are the dominant ones. Concentrated heating profile increases the stresses within the crystal, otherwise, the pulling rate decreases the stresses.

Spodumene$(LiAlLi_2O_6)$ single crystal was grown by Floating Zone process using the image furnace having the halogen lamp as heat sources. The crystal had the dimension of 50~60mm length and 6~8mm diameter. The colors of as-grown crystals were green, black and pale green respectively. The composition of the crystal was analized by XRD and FUR measurement. Growth orientation was examined by Laue back reflection pattern and for measuring the light transmittance, OPtical transmittance was measured.

$YMnO_{3}$ single crystals have been grown by a floating zone technique and the optimal growth conditions were investigated. Their crystallinity and microstructure were characterized by the chemical etch pit patterns, their distribution and the compositional difference depending on the G value. In particular, the microstructural feature was interpreted in terms of compositional deviation along radial direction on (1010) growth plane.

The Ga₂O₃ single crystal was grown through a floating zone method, and its structural and optical properties were instigated. It has a monoclinic crystal structure with a (100) crystal orientation and an optical band gap energy of 4.6 eV. It showed an average transmittance of 70% in the visible region. At room temperature, its photoluminescent spectrum showed three different peaks: the ultraviolet at 360 nm, the blue-green at 500 nm, and the red peaks at 700 nm. Especially, at liquid nitrogen temperature, the ultraviolet peak was optically active while the others were quenched.

Strontium titanate single crystal was grown by floating wne method. Growth conditions are as follows; at air atmosphere, rotation rate of upper and lower shafts were 20 - 25 rpm, 15 - 20 rpm respectively and growth rate was 3 mmlhr.

In general, a sintered rod is used as a feed in the growth of crystals by the floating zone(FZ) method. The sintering condition of the feed rod affected the stability of molten zone because it influenced the interface shape between the feed and the melt during the crystal growth. In this study, rutile and ruby crystals were chosen as samples to analyze the effect of the microstructures of the feed rods. In sintering of the feed rod for the growth of rutile and ruby single crystals, the difference of grain size between the inner and the outer region of the feed rod increased with the sintering temperature and dwelling time. As a result, it altered melting behavior of the feed. The uniform grain size of the sintered rod was necessary for the optimum growing condition of crystals. The effect of pores in the feed rod was not a dominant factor to grow crystals by the FZ method, which was confirmed by growing crystals with nonsinterd rods as feeds.
