The thermal behavior of $(Co_{0.5}\;Mn_{0.5})Fe_2O_4$ prepared by a co-precipitation wasinvestigated for Hz generation by the thermochemical cycle. The reduction reaction of $(Co_{0.5}\;Mn_{0.5})Fe_2O_4$ started from $480^{\circ}C$, and the weight loss was 1.6 wt% up to $1100^{\circ}C$. At this reaction, $(Co_{0.5}\;Mn_{0.5})Fe_2O_4$ was reduced by release of oxygen bonded with the $Fe^{3+}$ ion in the B site of ($CO_{0.5}$ $(Co_{0.5}\;Mn_{0.5})Fe_2O_4$. In the $H_2O$ decomposition reaction, $H_2$ was generated by oxidationof reduced $(Co_{0.5}\;Mn_{0.5})Fe_2O_4$. The crystal structure of $(Co_{0.5}\;Mn_{0.5})Fe_2O_4$ for reduction reaction maintained spinel structure and the lattice constant of $(Co_{0.5}\;Mn_{0.5})Fe_2O_4$ ($8.41\AA$) was enlarged to $8.45\AA$. But the lattice constant of $(Co_{0.5}\;Mn_{0.5})Fe_2O_4$ after $H_2O$ decomposition reaction did not change to $8.45\AA$. Then, $(Co_{0.5}\;Mn_{0.5})Fe_2O_4$ is excellent material in the thermochemical cyclic reaction due to release oxygen at low temperature for the reduction reaction and produce $H_2$ maintaining crystal structure for redox reaction.

The oxidation of carbon monoxide of low concentration on the natural manganese dioxide (NMD) has been investigated in a fixed bed reactor. The experimental variables were concentration of oxygen (500ppm~99.8%) and carbon monoxide (500ppm~10000ppm) and catalyst temperature ($50{\sim}750^{\circ}C$). The NMD(Natural Manganese Dioxide) has been characterized by temperature - program reduction(TPR) using 2.4% $CO/H_2$ as a reducing agent, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and reduction of NMD by 2.4% $CO/H_2$. It was found that the NMD catalyst activity on the unit area was greater than the $MnO_2$ catalyst for oxidation of CO at the same temperature. The thermal stability of oxidation activity was considered to be maintained when the NMD was heated to $750^{\circ}C$. The TGA, reduction by CO, and TPR of the NMD showed that the NMD had active lattice oxygen which was easily liberated on heating in the absence and low concentration of oxygen. The reaction order in CO is 0.701 between 500~3500ppm and almost zero between 3500~10000ppm of CO.

We study on the oxygen behavior of $V_2O_5/TiO_2$ catalysts in the $NH_3$-selective catalytic reduction (SCR) prepared by the ball milling processing. There are not any changes in crystal structure and surface area of the $TiO_2$ catalyst by ball milling, but the maximal reduction temperature decreased in $H_2$-temperature programmed reduction (TPR) analysis. Experimental observations with various concentrations of oxygen indicate that all catalysts showed a very low NOx conversion rate in the absence of oxygen and the reactivity of ball milled catalyst higher depending on the oxygen. It is occurred because the degree of participation of atmospheric oxygen and lattice oxygen is great than that of the not-milled catalyst.

Ultrafine titanium carbide particles were synthesized by the reaction of liquid-magnesium and vaporized TiCl$_{4}$+C$_{x}$Cl$_{4}$(x = 1 and 2) solution. Fine titanium carbide particles with about 50 nm were successfully produced by combining Ti and C atoms released by chloride reduction of magnesium, and vacuum was then used to remove the residual phases of MgCl$_{2}$ and excess Mg. Small amounts of impurities such as O, Fe, Mg and Cl were detected in the product, but such problem can be solved by more precise process control. The lattice parameter of the product was 0.43267 nm, near the standard value. With respect to the reaction kinetics, the activation energy for the reactions of TiCl$_{4}$+C$_{2}$Cl$_{4}$and Mg was found to 69 kJ/mole, which was about half value against the use of TiCl$_{4}$+CCl$_{4}$, and such higher reactivity of the former contributed to increase the stoichiometry until the level of TiC$_{0.96}$ and decrease the free carbon content below 0.3 wt.%.

The thermal behavior of $NiFe_2O_4$ prepared by a solid-state reaction was investigated for $H_2$ generation by the thermochemical cycle. The reduction of $NiFe_2O_4$ started from $800^{\circ}C$, and the weight loss was 0.2-0.3 wt% up to $1000^{\circ}C$. In the $H_2O$ decomposition reaction, $H_2$ was generated by oxidation of reduced $NiFe_2O_4$. The crystal structure of $NiFe_2O_4$ maintained during the redox reaction of 5 cycles. From this observation, the lattice oxygen in $NiFe_2O_4$ is released without the structural change during the thermal reduction and oxygen deficient $NiFe_2O_4$ can be restored to the spinel structure of $NiFe_2O_4$.

In order to elucidate the effects of co-existing additives (S$_{8}$, TBP: Tri butyl phosphate, ZnDTP: Zinc-dialkyl dithiophosphate) and the role of reacted surface film on the friction behavior of MoDTP (molybdenum dialkyl dithiophosphate), a friction experiment using a dual circular pipe edge surface type friction tester and XPS (X-ray photoelectronic spectrum) surface analysis were conducted. Friction reduction with MoDTP lubricant was proved to be greatly influenced by co-existing additive species. It was dependent on the properties of the film formed through the reaction between the additive and the surface. Phosphate film reduced the friction coefficient of MoDTP through suppression of diffusion of Mo compounds towards the metal substrate. On the other hand, sulfate film, which is inherently rich in lattice defects, did not lead to any appreciable friction reduction with MoDTP since the diffusion of the Mo compound towards the metal substrate was not effectively suppressed. With ZnDTP additive, the sulfide film formed through decomposition greatly influenced the lubricating performance of MoDTP. As such, properties of surface films formed from additives were proved to yield significant influence on the lubrication performance of MoDTP.

Ferroelectric $Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ (PZT) films were deposited on SrTiO3(100) substrate by using conductive $SrRuO_3$ films as underlayer and their structural and ferroelectric properties were investigated. PZT films were grown in (00l) orientation on well lattice-matched pseudo-cubic $SrRuO_3$ films. Thickness dependence of ferroelectric and electrical properties of PZT films was investigated. PZT film with 400 nm thickness showed a remanent polarization ($P_r$) of $29.0{\mu}C/cm^2$ and coercive field ($E_c$) of 83 kV/cm, and $P_r$ decreased and $E_c$ increased with thickness reduction. The dielectric constant for PZT films showed gradual decrease with thickness reduction. Breakdown field of PZT films did not show the thickness dependence and displayed as high value as 1 MV/cm.

Electro-chemical aspects of stress corrosion on the mild steels when immersed in the $5\%\;H_2SO_4$ solution and charged with 100mV and 100mA were discussed. The main results of the experiment are follows; 1. The weight loss by corrosion was concerned with the applied stress. and the larger the applied stress, the greater the weight loss. 2. Reduction of corrosion stress was a factor of inverse proportion to the applied stress. 3. Corrosion began at first on the parts of impurities concentrated and the grain boundaries, and gradually developed and spreaded out. 4. The materials of unsteady structure deformed of space lattice by the high stress or work-hardening showed less reduction of corrosion stress.

An establishment of dioxin-reduction operating skill for medium sized incineration facility is urgently needed in Korea with nearly 90% of medium sized incineration. Using lattice stoker incineration processing the capacity of 20 tons industrial general waste per day, similar properties of the household waste, dioxin-reduction is derived in optimum operating condition and parameters. As a result, CO haunting which is the minimization of frequency is found as the major parameter to minimize dioxin.

The effect of reduction and re-oxidation firing on the PTCR properties of Sm-doped Barium Titanate ceramics was investigated for the application of multilayered PTC thermistor. The lattice parameter a, c decreases monotonically with increasing oxygen concentration in the reoxidation atmosphere, which seems to be related with the electrostatic Coulomb interaction between oxygen vancancy and nearest other atoms. With increasing oxygen concentration, the resistivity at room temperature and the magnitude of resistivity jump as a function of temperature increased in the region of oxygen concentration of 0 $\sim$ 10%. However, the resistivity at room temperature and the magnitude of resistivity jump is nearly constant and saturated in the region of oxygen concentration of 10 $\sim$ 20%. These phenomena is considered to be related with the variation of oxygen and barium-vancany concentration near the grain boundary.
