The purpose of this study is to investigate the properties of LSGM electrolyte and LSM cathode. The unit cell based on the optimum conditions and processing for high performance was fabricated and measured. The single phase of $LaGaO_3$ was obtained on sintering at $1500^{\circ}$ for 6h with composition of $(La_{0.85}Sr_{0.15})(Ga_{0.8}Mg_{0.2})O_{3-\delta}와 (La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2})(Ga_{0.8}Mg_{0.2})O_{3-\delta}$ and $(La_{0.85}Sr_{0.15})(Ga_{0.8}Mg_{0.2})O_{3-\delta}$. The grain size of the sintered body was about $10∼30{\mu}m$ and electrical conductivity was 0.13 S/cm measured at $800^{\circ}$. The single phase of $LaMnO_3$ structure in $(La1-xSrx)MnO_3$ system was obtained at x=0∼0.2 and the particle size of the synthesized powder was about 40 nm. The unit cell was prepared by firing at $1200^{\circ}$ for 1h with $(La_{0.9}Sr_{0.1})MnO_3$ cathode and 0.9NiO-0.1YSZ anode screen-printed on surfaces of $(La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2})(Ga_{0.8}Mg_{0.2})O_{3-\delta}$ electrolyte. The grain size of the electrode was close to $1{\mu}m$ and the electrode had porous structure. The maximum power density of unit cell showed $0.3W/cm^2$ at $800^{\circ}$.

현재 널리 상용되어 있는PDP는 3전극 변방전형이다. 3전극 면장전형 PDP는 주방전이 유전체 아래에 서로 평행하게 위치하고 있는 ITO투명전극 사이에서 발생한다. 따라서 방전시의 전기장은 MgO 보호막 위에서 아치형태로 형성되게 된다. 플라스마 방전 시 전자에 의해 이온화된 이온 입자들은 전기장에 의해 그 방전경로가 정해지게 된다. 물론 전기장은 표면에서 수직이지만 전기장에 의해 가속되어진 이온입자들은 MgO 보호막에 기울어져서 입사하게 된다. 따라서 플라스마 방전시의 이온들의 MgO 보호막으로의 입사각은 매우 다양하다. $\gamma$-FIB (Focused ion beam) 시스템은 이온입사에 의한 물질의 이차전자방출계수 측정에 효과적인 장비이다. 본 실험은 이러한 $\gamma$-FIB 시스템을 이용하여 다양한 각도로 입사하는 이온빔에 의한 MgO 보호막의 이차전자방출계수를 측정하였다. 또한 이온화 에너지가 다른 여러 종류의 불활성 기체를 사용하여 이온의 입사하는 각도에 따른 MgO 보호막의 일함수를 측정하였다. 이온빔의 입사각은 각각 $0^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$로 변화시키면서 이차전자방출계수 및 일함수를 측정하였다. 이러한 실험을 통해 입사각이 클수록 이차전자방출계수는 증가하고 일수는 감소하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

In this study, functional and emulsifying properties of oil extracted by supercritical carbon dioxide from balloonflower(Platycodon grandiflorum A. DC) seeds were investigated. The oil was lower in total polyphenol content(8 mg/100 g), but higher in ${\alpha}$-tocopherol(14.15 mg/100 g), ${\beta}$-sitosterol(116 mg/100 g) and stigmasterol(8 mg/100 g) contents than seeds. Based on DPPH radical scavenging activity, the oil($IC_{50}=1235.5{\mu}g/mL$) showed similar antioxidant activity to the seeds($IC_{50}=1138.2{\mu}g/mL$). At 1%(w/w) lecithin, O/W emulsion with balloonflower seeds oil had turbidity, microscopic image, mean particle size and emulsion stability similar to emulsion with soybean oil, but had lower turbidity and emulsion stability and larger mean particle size than emulsion with perilla seeds oil. Its surface tension was similar to perilla oil emulsion.

This experiment has been carried out for the purpose of investigating the effect of additives on densification and grain growth in magnesium oxide by a two-step process; hot pressing and heat treating. MgO powder has been obtained by calcining extra reagent grade MgCO3 at 90$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes, and additives have been added to $MgCO_3$ in the form of soluble salts-Al$(NO_3)_3$$. $9H_2O$ and $Cr(NO_3)_3$.9H_2O$. The hot pressing has been carried out with changes of soaking time at 125$0^{\circ}C$ under the pressure of 250kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and the heat treating also at same temperature. The initial particle size of MgO measured by particle size analyzer was 0.86 microns. Densification rate obeyed the equation D=K lnt + C, and grain growth rate obeyed the equation G-G0=kt1/2. It was vaporization of some $Cr_2O_3$ and formation of solid solution that had an influence on desification of MgO containing $Cr_2O_3$. Activation energy for grain growth of pure MgO was 62.4 kcal/mole, therefore grain growth was supposed to be diffusioncontrolled process. But after heat treatmeat, excess additives were expected to slow down the grain growth by the formation of second phase or the solute atoms at grainboundary.

Dry reforming of methane to synthesis gas was investigated over a series of Ni/HY catalysts promoted by Mg, Ca, K and Mn. These catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET, SEM, and TGA analyses before and after the reaction. Conversions and product yields were increased with increasing nickel loading up to 13 wt%. Among the catalysts tested in this work, the Ni-Mg/HY catalyst showed the highest carbon resistance and the most stable catalytic performance. It was revealed that the addition of Mg promoter reduced the nickel particle size and produced the highly dispersed nickel particles, and consequently, retarded the catalyst deactivation.

Experiments on settling behaviour of fine-grained particles without destroying the large fragile aggregates were carried out in still water with a CCD (Charged Coupled Device)-Camera. The experiments dealt with the measuring of the vertical concentration profile of cohesive particles with a CCD-Camera and the physico-chemical influences (NaCl, density, temperature and pH value) on the vertical distribution of the concentration. The vertical concentration profile of fine suspended particles (alumina and quartz) was possible up to $20,000\;mg/{\ell}$ with a CCD-Camera. The vertical concentration profile of cohesive sediments was on the decrease because of the increasing initial concentration, temperature and salinity. The vertical concentration profile of alumina was on the decrease quicker than quartz with increasing salinity. Furthermore, the pH value affects the settling behaviour of alumina. At a PH value of 4.2 the settling rate of the particles was very low and on the increase until pH 8.9 because of the aggregation behaviour of particles. From the PH value of 9 the average settling velocity was on the decrease.

In this study, permeation experiments were conducted using naturally circulating spherical beads, backwashable plate membrane and the air supplied from the bottom of the MBR. The activated sludge solution was maintained at 8,000 mg/L of MLSS and compared transmembrane pressure (TMP) with respect to FR (filtration and relaxation), FR/BW (filtration and relaxation/backwashing), SFCO (sinusoidal filtration continuous operation) and SFCO/BW (sinusoidal filtration continuous operation/backwashing). As the backwashing flux decreased from 47 to $14L/m^2{\cdot}hr$, the TMP increased generally, but the TMP of FR system increased significantly comparing with SFCO. In addition, the backwashing method reduced more TMP comparing to the cleaning method using spherical beads, and it was confirmed that the operation method using the spherical beads and the backwashing simultaneously is more effective than each method.

In order to understand the characteristics of fine particles emitted from coal-fired power plant stacks, it is important to analyze the size distribution and components of particles. In this study, particle size distributions were measured using the ejector-porous tube dilution device and an ELPI system at a stack in a coal-fired power plant. Main elemental components of particles in each size interval were also identified through TEM-EDS analysis for the particles collected in each ELPI stage. Particle size distributions based on number and mass were analyzed with component distributions from 0.006 to 10 ㎛. The highest number concentration was about 0.01 ㎛. The main component of the particles consisted of sulfur, which indicated that sulfate aerosols were generated by gas-to-particle conversion of SO2. In a mass size distribution, a mono-modal distribution with a mode diameter of about 2 ㎛ was shown. For the components of PM1.0 (particles less than 1 ㎛), the abundance order was F > Mg > S > Ca, and however, for the components of PM10 (particles less than 10 ㎛), it was in the order of Fe > S > Ca > Mg. The elemental components by particle size were confirmed.

Toxicity results of metals, nanoparticles (NPs), and soils contaminated with metals were introduced on this review. Following methods were used: seed germination, bioluminescence, enzyme activity, and mutation. In general, different sensitivities were observed, depending on types of bioassays and pollutants. Among tested seeds, sensitivities of Lactucus and Raphanus were greater than others. Of single metal exposure, effect by As(III) was greater than others, and high revertant mutation ratio (5.1) was observed at 1 mg/L arsenite, indicating high mutagenicity. No general pattern was observed on the effect of metal mixture, but synergistic effect was observed with seeds. In case of soils, no correlation was observed between total metal contents and toxicity. Toxicity of NPs was observed as follows: CuO > ZnO > NiO > $TiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3$, $Co_3O_4$. Especially, no considerable effects were observed by $TiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3$, and $Co_3O_4$ under tested concentration (max. 1,000 mg/L). The evaluation results of interactive toxic effects using various bioassays may comprise a useful tool for the bioassessment of various environmental pollutants.

The vertical distribution and origin of particulate organic matter (POM) were investigated in Shingu reservoir on 4th July (pre-monsoon) and 7th August (post-monsoon) 2006. High turbid water (120 NTU) were found at 4.5 m water depth in postmonsoon period. The average C/N ratio of POM was about 5.70 and 6.96 in surface water and bottom water, respectively in pre-monsoon period, exhibiting the close values to its ratio in phytoplankton cell. However, the average C/N ratio was 7.10 in surface water and 12.81 in bottom water in post-monsoon period. In addition, the ${\delta}^{13}C$ values of POM in pre-monsoon period ranged from -25.1%o to -26.1%o in whole water column, but the ${\delta}^{13}C$ values of POM in post-monsoon period showed relatively wide range between -23.2%o and -27.5%o. The apparently lighter values (average -27.5%o) in near bottom water (4.5 m water depth) demonstrate that POM in high turbid water in post-monsoon period may be derived from the outside terrestrial plants through heavy rainfall during the summer monsoon period. The present study suggests that carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios as well as C/N ratios should be useful indexes to clarify the origin of POM.
