The solubility of nickel ferrite in an aqueous solution of boric acid was studied by varying the pH at the temperatures ranging from $25^{\circ}C$ to $320^{\circ}C$. A flow-through autoclave system was specially designed and fabricated to measure the solubility of Fe in hydrothermal solutions under high temperature and pressure. The performance of this flow-through system was directly compared with the conventional static state technique using a batch-type autoclave system. The stability of fluid velocity for the flow-through autoclave system was verified prior to the solubility measurement. The influence of chemical additives, such as boric acid and $H_2$, on the solubility of nickel ferrite was also evaluated.

Due to their excellent mechanical durability and high electrical conductivity, carbon and silicon composites are potentially suitable anode materials for Li-ion batteries with high capacity and long lifespan. Nevertheless, the limitations of the composites include their poor ionic diffusion at high current densities during cycling, which leads to low ultrafast performance. In the present study, seeking to improve the ionic diffusion using hydrothermal method, electrospinning, and carbonization, we demonstrate the unique design of excavated carbon and silicon composites (EC/Si). The outstanding energy storage performance of EC/Si electrode provides a discharge specific capacity, impressive rate performance, and ultrafast cycling stability.

Whisker-type magnesium hydroxide sulfate hydrate ($5Mg(OH)_2{\cdot}MgSO_4{\cdot}3H_2O$, abbreviated 513 MHSH), is used in filler and flame-retardant composites based on its hydrate phase and its ability to undergo endothermic dehydration in fire conditions, respectively. In general, the length of whiskers is determined according to various synthetic conditions in a hydrothermal reaction with high temperature (${\sim}180^{\circ}C$). In this work, high-quality 513 MHSH whiskers are synthesized by controlling the concentration of the raw material in ambient conditions without high pressure. Particularly, the concentration of the starting material is closely related to the length, width, and purity of MHSH. In addition, a ceramic-coating system is adopted to enhance the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the MHSH whiskers. The physical properties of the silica-coated MHSH are characterized by an abrasion test, thermogravimetric analysis, and transmission electron microscopy.

열수변질작용동안에 수반되는 광물간의 열역학적인 반응관계를 통해 325${\circ}C$와 1바에서 광물의 상 안정다이아그램을 작성하였다. 홍주석과 공생관계에 있는 일라이트를 백운모와 엽납석 두가지로 이루어지는 이성분계의 이상적 혼합모델을 가정하여, 화학분석차로부터 생성자유에너지를 계산하였다. 구조화학식이 $K_{0.86}Al_{2.93}Si_{3.03}O_{10}(OH)_2$인 일라이트의 생성작유에너지는 위 조건에서 -1147.727 kcal/mole이다. 일라이트의 안정영역은 이상적 백운모 단성분보다는 훨씬 좁게 나타나며, 시리카의 활동도가 백운모보다는 낮다. 일라이트는 엽납석이 분해되는 동안에 홍주석이 수화되어 형성된 것으로 홍주석의 가장자리나 균열을 따라 일라이트의 형성이 우세하게 일어났다.

전이금속 산화물의 전구체가 들어있는 합성모액을 수열 반응시켜 전이금속 산화물이 고정된 하이드로탈사이트를 제조하여 이들에 대한 이산화질소의 흡착 성질을 조사하였다. 전이금속 산화물의 분산도, 이산화질소의 흡착량 및 흡착상태를 XRD, SEM, XPS, 질소 흡착등온선, 중량식 흡착법, FT-IR, 승온탈착법으로 조사하였다. 전이금속 산화물은 주로 하이드로탈사이트의 표면에 분산 담지되었으며, 철과 니켈 산화물이 고정된 하이드로탈사이트에 이산화질소가 많이 흡장되었다. 철 산화물이 표면에 분산되어 담지되면 이산화질소의 흡장량이 많지만, 철 산화물이 지나치게 많이 담지되면 덩어리져서 표면의 염기점을 차폐하므로 이산화질소의 흡장량이 오히려 줄어들었다. 철 산화물의 고정량이 적절하면 하이드로탈사이트에서 이산화질소의 흡장세기는 약해지지만, 흡장량은 많아지고 수열 안정성이 증진되었다.

This paper presents a study to reduce the effect of blast pressure on the blast valves installed in protection tunnels, where the shape of the tunnel entrance and the blast pocket is optimized based on the predetermined basic shape of the protective tunnels. The reliability of the numerical tunnel models was examined by performing analyses of mesh convergence and overpressure stability and with comparison to the data in blast-load design charts in UFC 3-340-02 (DoD, 2008). An optimal mesh size and a stabilized distance of overpressure were proposed, and the numerical results were validated based on the UFC data. A parametric study to reduce the blast overpressures in tunnel was conducted using the validated numerical model. Analysis was performed applying 1) the entrance slope of 90, 75, 60, and 45 degrees, 2) two blast pockets with the depth 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 times the tunnel width, 3) the three types of curved back walls of the blast pockets, and 4) two types of the upper and lower surfaces of the blast pockets to the reference tunnel model. An optimal solution by combining the analysis results of the tunnel entrance shape, the depth of the blast pockets, and the upper and lower parts of the blast pockets was provided in comparison to the reference tunnel model. The blast overpressures using the proposed tunnel shape have been reduced effectively.

Tin-antimony sulfide nanocomposites were prepared via hydrothermal synthesis and a N₂ reduction process for use as a negative electrode in a sodium ion battery. The electrochemical energy storage performance of the battery was analyzed according to the tin-antimony composition. The optimized sulfides exhibited superior charge/discharge capacity (770 mAh g^-1 at a current density of 100 mA g^-1) and stable lifespan characteristics (71.2 % after 200 cycles at a current density of 500 mA g^-1). It exhibited a reversible characteristic, continuously participating in the charge-discharge process. The improved electrochemical energy storage performance and cycle stability was attributed to the small particle size, by controlling the composition of the tin-antimony sulfide. By optimizing the tin-antimony ratio during the synthesis process, it did not deviate from the solubility limit. Graphene oxide also acts to suppress volume expansion during reversible electrochemical reaction. Based on these results, tin-antimony sulfide is considered a promising anode material for a sodium ion battery used as a medium-to-large energy storage source.

A unit emission reduction of nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) from anthropogenic sources is equivalent to a 310-unit $CO_2$ emission reduction because the $N_2O$ has the global warming potential (GWP) of 310. This greatly promoted very active development and commercialization of catalysts to control $N_2O$ emissions from large-scale stationary sources, representatively nitric acid production plants, and numerous catalytic systems have been proposed for the $N_2O$ reduction to date and here designated to Options A to C with respect to in-duct-application scenarios. Whether or not these Options are suitable for $N_2O$ emissions control in nitric acid industries is primarily determined by positions of them being operated in nitric acid plants, which is mainly due to the difference in gas temperatures, compositions and pressures. The Option A being installed in the $NH_3$ oxidation reactor requires catalysts that have very strong thermal stability and high selectivity, while the Option B technologies are operated between the $NO_2$ absorption column and the gas expander and catalysts with medium thermal stability, good water tolerance and strong hydrothermal stability are applicable for this option. Catalysts for the Option C, that is positioned after the gas expander thereby having the lowest gas temperatures and pressure, should possess high de$N_2O$ performance and excellent water tolerance under such conditions. Consequently, each de$N_2O$ technology has different opportunities in nitric acid production plants and the best solution needs to be chosen considering the process requirements.
