In the study, herbaceous biomass waste including giant miscanthus, corn stalk, and wheat stalk were used to prepare commercially valuable activated carbons by KOH activation. The waste biomass predominantly consists of cellulose/hemicellulose and lignin, in which decomposition after carbonization and activation contributed to commercially valuable specific surface areas (>$2000m^2/g$) and specific capacitances (>120 F/g) that exceeded those of commercial activated carbon. The significant electrochemical performance of the herbaceous biomass-derived activated carbons indicated the feasibility of utilizing waste biomass to fabricate energy storage materials. Furthermore, with respect to both economic and environmental perspectives, it is advantageous to obtain activated carbon from herbaceous biomass waste given the ease of handling biomass and the low production cost of activated carbon.

CF8M cast austenitic stainless steel is used for several components such as primary coolant piping, elbow, pump casing, and valve bodies in light water reactors. These components are subject to thermal aging at the reactor operating temperature. Thermal aging results in spinodal decomposition of the delta-ferrite leading to increased strength and decreased toughness. In this study, three kinds of the aged CF8M specimen were prepared using an artificially simulated aging method. The objective of this study is to summarize the method of estimating ferrite contents, Charpy impact energy and J-R curve, and to evaluate the thermal embrittlement of the CF8M cast austenitic stainless steel piping used in the domestic nuclear power plants.

The purpose of this investigation was to study the sulfuric acid digestion of monazite sand, and to prepare rare-earths-thorium containing material from the resulting solution which would be suitable for further preparation of thorium and rare earth elements by ion-exchange. Digestion of crude monazite sand was treated in $95{\%}C$ sulfuric acid for 2.0 hours at 150∼$250^{\circ}C$. The acid to sand weight ratio were 1 : 1.9∼2.8. Optimum condition was 95% sulfuric acid for 2.0 hours at $200{\pm}5^{\circ}C$. Within this conditions monazite sand was decomposed up to 99%.

Amino acid composition of Makjang was determined by combined usage of ion exchanged resin and paper chormatography in the following states. a. A fraction soluble in water b. Hydrolysate of the whole Makjang c. Same as a. (p.p.t. formed by tungstic acid or trichloroacetic acid being removed) d. Hydrolysate of c. (T and TCA) By comparing amino acid composition of Makjang with that of its raw material, we found that decomposition of essential amino acids during brewing is slight. From the amino acid composition of a,b,c,d, we discussed the ratio of amino acid liberation during brewing and assumed that Makjang contains peptide-like substances composing of glutamic acid and aspartic acid.

A new advanced combined PVD/CVD technique of DLC film deposition has been developed. Deposition of a DLC film was carried out using a pulsed carbon arc discharge in vapor hydrocarbon atmosphere. The arc plasma enhancing CVD process promotes dramatic increase in the deposition rate and decrease of compressive stress as well as improvement of film thickness uniformity compared to that obtained with a single PVD pulsed arc process. The optical spectroscopy investigation reveals great increase in radiating components of $C_2$ Swan system molecular bands due to acetylene molecules decomposition. AFM, Raman spectroscopy, XPS and nano-indentation were used to characterize DLC films. The method ensures obtaining a new superhard DLC nano-material for deposition of protective coatings onto various industrial products including those used in medicine.

In this study we propose an unsteady I-dimensional model of an iron ore sintering bed with multiple solid phases, which confers a phase on each solid material. This model contains coke combustion, limestone decomposition, gaseous reaction, heat transfers between each phase, and geometric changes of the solid particles. Simulation results are compared with the limited experimental data set of various coke contents and air supply rates. Effect of the coke diameter is also evaluated. They predict the experimental results well and show applicabilities to the various system of the fuel bed with various solid materials.

Cobalt oxide has excellent various properties such as high catalytic activity, antiferromagnetism, and electrochromism. So cobalt oxides offer a great potential for their applications in the various areas such as optical gas sensor, catalysts for oxidation reaction, electrochromic devices, high temperature solar selective absorbers, magnetic materials, pigment for glasses and ceramics, and negative electrodes for lithium-ion batteries. We have synthesized novel cobalt complexes by simple reaction of cobalt bistrimethylsilylamide as a starting material with a lot of conventional ligands as potential cobalt oxide precursors. The studies include the facile preparation, structural characterization, and spectroscopic analysis of the new precursors. We are making efforts to grow cobalt oxide thin films using cobalt complexes newly synthesized in this study using deposition techniques.

The experiment established optimal conditions for over-carbonization. With the use of the electron microscopy and X-ray phase analysis the regularities of carbon deposit formation in process of methane and propane pyrolysis on the zeolites, Kazakhstan natural clays, chrome and bauxite sludge containing metal oxides of iron subgroup, have been studied. In process of over-carbonization the trivalent iron was reduced to metal form. In addition, the carbon tubes of divers morphology had been impregnated with ultra-dispersed metal particles. The kinetic parameters of carbon formation in process of methane decomposition on the zeolite - CoO mixture surface were investigated by method of thermo-gravimetric analysis. The morphology and structure of formed carbon fibrils, with the metal particles fixed at their ends, have been investigated, the formation of branched carbon fibrils pattern, so called octopus, being found. Also, the walnut shells and grape kernel carbonization, their immobilization by the cells of selective absorption of heavy metal and sulfur dioxide ions have been studied. The example of metal-carbon composites used as adsorbents for wastewater purification, C$_3$- C$_4$ hydrocarbon cracking catalysts and refractory materials with improved properties have been considered.

초분광영상은 사람이 볼 있는 가시광선 영역부터 자외선 파장 대역까지 수십에서 수천 개의 데이터를 가지고 있는 고차원 데이터이다. 그렇기 때문에 초분광영상을 이용한 연구에는 많은 저장 공간과 고사양의 성능을 필요로 한다. 따라서 초분광영상의 차원을 감소시켜 데이터용량을 줄이고, 처리속도를 향상시키기 위한 연구들이 이루어지고 있다. 기존에 자주 사용되던 방법인 PCA와 ICA는 차원축소를 위하여 고유벡터를 계산하고 이를 이용하여 축을 변경하여 차원축소를 한다. 하지만 초분광영상에서는 이러한 방법으로 차원을 축소할 시 정확도가 감소한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 특징 밴드를 추출하고 이를 이용하여 차원축소를 하는 SPVD 알고리즘을 제안한다. SPVD(Spectral pair vector decomposition) 알고리즘은 d개의 그룹으로 나누고 각 그룹들의 양벡터 각과 음벡터 각을 계산한 후 이를 이용하여 차원축소를 한다. 실험 결과 PCA는 61차원에서 70.05%, ICA는 71차원에서 63.03% 정확도를 보이는데 비해 SPVD 알고리즘은 3차원에서 83% 정확도를 보였다.

An oxygen bomb combustion procedure were studied for determination of heavy metal in polymer materials such as polyvinyl chloride and polypropylene by ICP-AES. This method is proposed as a rapid and simple sample preparation for decomposition of polymer containing certified contents of the analytes by teflon coated oxygen bomb combustion using different absorbing solution. The recoveries of metal were found to be 30~102% from absorbed solution by ICP-AES method using polypropylene certified reference material(PP CRM-As, Ba, Cd, Hg, Pb, Zn). The recoveries of metal using PVC CRM(Cd, Hg, Pb) was found to be 45 ~101% with same procedures.
