In the preparation of manganese zinc ferrite powders by alcoholic dehydration of citrate/formate solution. The effect of pH change on precipitation was investigated. The pH range for obtaining stable precipitates was studied. The glassy phase was obtained when the pH value of solution is higher than 5, and the formation mechanism of glassy phase was suggested. Below pH 5, the stable precipitates were formed, and the optimal pH was 2. Formation of glassy phase was accounted for the change of surface charge by pH change. The change of surface charge is caused by the interparticular agglomeration. The precipitate was redissolved into the water on the surface of precipitate itself and through the polymerization, it agglomerated. This mechanism is tought to be similar to that of viscous flow.

Advanced high strength steels undergo recrystallization annealing in reducing gas atmosphere before galvanizing to improve mechanical properties. The selective oxidations of elements such as Mn, Si, Cr and Al during annealing decrease wettability of liquid zinc, resulting in bare spots and other defects. In this work, Fe-3wt%Mn steel sheet was annealed at $780^{\circ}C$ for 1200 sec. in 5% $H_2-N_2$ atmosphere and then dipped into zinc bath held at $460^{\circ}C$, which contained 0.2wt% dissolved Al. MnO crystallines in the average size of 200 nm were formed on the surface after annealing. It is estimated that MnO has been detached into bath with the formation and growth of inhibition layer with longer immersion time during galvanizing. No evidence of aluminothermic reduction of MnO has been found in this study.

New wet chemical method so called precipitation-evaporation method was suggested for preparing spinel structure lithium manganese oxide ($LiMn_2$$O_4$) for Li ion secondary battery. Using precipitation-evaporation method, $LiMn_2$$O_4$ cathode materials suitable for Li ion secondary batteries can be synthesized. Single spinel phase $LiMn_2$$O_4$ powder was synthesized at lower temperature compared to that of prepared by solid-state method. $LiMn_2$$O_4$ powder prepared by precipitation-evaporation method showed uniform, small size and well defined crystallinity particles. Li ion secondary battery using $LiMn_2$$O_4$ as cathode materials prepared by precipitation-evaporation method and calcined at $800^{\circ}C$ showed discharge capacity of 106.03mAh/g and discharge capacity of 95.60mAh/g at 10th cycle. Although Li ion secondary battery showed somewhat smaller initial capacity but good cyclic ability. It is suggested that electro-chemical properties can be improved by controlling particle characteristics by particle morphology modification during calcination and optimizing Li ion secondary battery assembly conditions.

In the present work, we address the new route for the green synthesis of manganese dioxide (MnO₂) by an innovative method named the solution plasma process (SPP). The reaction mechanism of both colloidal and nanostructured MnO₂ was investigated. Firstly, colloidal MnO₂ was synthesized by plasma discharging in KMnO₄ aqueous solution without any additives such as reducing agents, acids, or base chemicals. As a function of the discharge time, the purple color solution of MnO₄^- (oxidation state +7) was changed to the brown color of MnO₂ (oxidation state +4) and then light yellow of Mn²⁺ (oxidation state +2). Based on the UV-vis analysis we found the optimal discharging time for the synthesis of stable colloidal MnO₂ and also reaction mechanism was verified by optical emission spectroscopy (OES) analysis. Secondly, MnO₂ nanoparticles were synthesized by SPP with a small amount of reducing sugar. The precipitation of brown color was observed after 8 min of plasma discharge and then completely separated into colorless solution and precipitation. It was confirmed layered type of nanoporous birnessite-MnO₂ by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and electron microscopes. The most important merits of this approach are environmentally friendly process within a short time compared to the conventional method. Moreover, the morphology and the microstructure could be controllable by discharge conditions for the appropriate potential applications, such as secondary batteries, supercapacitors, adsorbents, and catalysts.

망간단괴의 분말과 채광과정에서 함께 유입되는 해저퇴적물이 양광과정에 어떠한 영향을 끼치는지 파악하기 위하여 망간단괴의 분화정도와 망간단괴의 분말과 해저퇴적물의 물리적 특성을 파악하였다. 망간단괴의 자체분화율과 파쇄분화율은 각각 약 27%와 3%로, 총 분화율은 약 30%정도이다. 망간단괴의 탁도는 초기에는 매우 높은 값(약 3,100)을 보이나 시간에 따라 급격히 감소하여 1 h 후에는 반으로(약 1,570) 줄어든다. 해저퇴적물 시료는 초기의 약 1,850의 높은 값에서 1 h 후 1,310, 2 h 후 약 1,110으로 빠른 감소를 보이나 망간단괴에 비해 느린 감소를 보인다. 그러나 시추용 이수제로 사용되는 Na-벤토나이트는 초기 820에서 1 h 후 730, 2 h 후 700으로 매우 변화가 적다. 망간단괴의 점도는 $1.4{\sim}1.5cP$이며, 해저퇴적물의 점도는 1 cP 미만으로 매우 낮다. 반면 Na-벤토나이트의 점도는 초기 37.2에서 시간이 갈수록 증가하여 30 min 후에는 86.4cP의 값을 보인다. 망간단괴의 탁도 초기 값이 높은 것은 망간단괴 자체의 짙은 색깔에 의한 것으로 생각되며, 높은 비중으로 쉽게 침전되어 탁도의 빠른 감소를 보인다. 해저퇴적물은 매우 미립으로 쉽게 분산되어 초기에는 높은 값을 보이나물과 결합하여 겔을 형성하기보다 응집되어 쉽게 침전되므로 탁도의 빠른 감소를 보이게 된다. 그러나 이들 망간단괴 및 퇴적물의 구성광물은 거의 비팽윤성으로 겔을 형성하지 않아 매우 낮은 점도 값을 보인다. 이러한 특성으로 미루어 보아 망간단괴의 파쇄된 분말이 양광과정에서 양광관이나 수중펌프의 내부에 강하게 점착되어 스케일링을 형성할 가능성은 비교적 낮을 것으로 생각된다. 반면 채광과정에 유입된 해저퇴적물도 그 특성상 망간단괴의 부양을 쉽게 할 수 있는 이수로서의 역할은 거의 할 수 없을 것으로 생각되며, 매우 미립이므로 양광 후 분리는 쉬우나 해상에서 폐기처리 할 경우 환경적인 문제의 가능성을 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The purification and characterization of a $Mn^{2+}$-dependent alkaline serine protease produced by Bacillus pumilus TMS55 were investigated. The enzyme was purified in three steps: concentrating the crude enzyme using ammonium sulfate precipitation, followed by gel filtration and cation-exchange chromatography. The purified protease had a molecular mass of approximately 35 kDa, was highly active over a broad pH range of 7.0 to 12.0, and remained stable over a pH range of 7.5 to 11.5. The optimum temperature for the enzyme activity was found to be $60^{\circ}C$. PMSF and AEBSF (1 mM) significantly inhibited the protease activity, indicating that the protease is a serine protease. $Mn^{2+}$ ions enhanced the activity and stability of the enzyme. In addition, the purified protease remained stable with oxidants ($H_2O_2$, 2%) and organic solvents (25%), such as benzene, hexane, and toluene. Therefore, these characteristics of the protease and its dehairing ability indicate its potential for a wide range of commercial applications.

To determine contents of inorganic elements of Ganoderma lucidum, the horn-shaped carpophores and the pileus of Ganoderma lucidum were incinerated and analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrophotometry. The ash contents of the pileus and the horn-shaped carpophore were 1.48% and 1.40%, respectively. The pileus contained calcium, magnesium, sodium, manganese, iron, zinc and germanium in that order. The horn-shaped carpophore contained magnesium, calcium, zinc, manganese, iron, copper and germanium in that order. To examine the protein-bound polysaccharide from Ganoderma lucidum for immunopotentiating activity, its fruit bodies were extracted with hot water. Purification of the extract was carried out by acetone precipitation and dialysis. The fraction obtained during the purification procedure consisted of a polysaccharide moiety (51%) and a protein moiety (5%). When the compound was administered intraperitoneally to the mice at a dose of 50mg/kg, it enhanced the accumulation of the peritoneal exudate cells, macrophage and polymorphonuclear leucocytes, thereby indicating immunopotentiation.

망간산화물이 코팅된 활성탄(MOAC)에 의한 Pb와 Cu 흡착의 동역학적 특성과 등온흡착 특성을 규명하기 위해 회분식 실험을 수행하였다. MOAC는 화학적 침전법(CP), 수열법(HT)과 초임계법(SC)으로 제조하였으며 제조방법별 중금속 흡착특성을 비교하였다. 실험된 흡착소재에 의한 Pb와 Cu의 흡착은 2차 반응속도 모델과 Langmuir 모델에 의해 적절하게 설명될 수 있는 것으로 나타나 흡착소재의 단분자층에서 이루어지는 균일한 흡착임을 알 수 있었다. Pb와 Cu 흡착용량은 활성탄(AC)에 망간산화물을 코팅시킴으로써 크게 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며 MOAC의 제조방법에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. CP, HT, SC의 순으로 활성탄 표면에 코팅된 망간산화물의 양과 균일성이 증가하며 그로인해 흡착용량이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 MOAC가 중금속으로 오염된 환경을 정화시키기 위해 적절하게 활용될 수 있음을 보여준다.
