The properties of the n-type impurities nitrogen and phosphorus in diamond have been investigated by means of electronic band structure calculations within the framework of the semiempirical extended Huckel tight-binding method. For diamond with the nitrogen and phosphorus substitutional impurities, calculated density of states shows the impurity level deep in the band gap. This property can be derived from the substantial <111> relaxation of the impurity and nearest-neighbor carbon atoms, which is associated with the population of an antibonding orbital between them. The passivated donor property of the P-vacancy complex which lies deep in the gap is also discussed.

The effect of air impurities on PEMFC performances were studied using electrochemical analysis, such as OCV monitoring, polarization, constant current operation, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The nitrogen dioxide in air lowered the operation voltage at 1 A/$cm^2$ by 160 mV (10 ppm) and 227 mV (100 ppm), while the carbon monoxide effect was relatively not significant (30 mV at 100 ppm). For both nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide, the performances were largely recovered when pure air was provided again. Further study for additional air impurities and simulated air are under progress to provide fundamental data for the design of fuel cell vehicles.

The study deals with the effects of parameters in the synthesis of carbon nanotubes in liquid nitrogen to find the most appropriate conditions such as electrical voltage and time that give carbon nanotubes with large volume and less proportion of impurity, which is a non-nanotubed carbon. The experiment employed the method of arc-discharge between graphite cathode and anode which are immersed in liquid nitrogen. The electrical DC current of 60A and 70A were applied with the time period ranging from 10 seconds to 25 seconds. It was found that the electrical current of 60A and 13 seconds arc-discharge time allowed the largest volume of carbon nanotubes generation. The longer time leads to more impurities around the carbon nanotubes. By the filtration of CNTs-suspended solution using 0.2 micrometers porous paper filter and the characterization using TEM, the carbon nanotubes synthesized in the study were approximately 25 layers multi-walled nanotubes with the average diameter of 18.2 nanometers.

Ammonia would be formed in natural gas containing small amount of nitrogen reforming process in the process natural gas, which might damage the Pt catalyst and Prox catalyst. In the article, the effect of nitrogen contents on the formation of ammonia in the reforming process has been studied. In the experiments, Ru based and Ni based catalysts were used and the concentration of ammonia in the reformate gas at various gas hourly space velocity was measured. Experimental result shows that relatively higher ammonia concentration was measured with Ru based catalyst than with Ni based catalyst. It also shows that the concentration of ammonia increased rapidly after most of the methane converted into hydrogen. Based on the experimental results to reduce ammonia concentration it might be better to finish methane conversion at the exit position of the reforming reactor to minimize the contact time of catalyst and nitrogen with high concentration of hydrogen.

We have suggested sputtered W-C-N thin film for preventing thermal budget between semiconductor and metal. These results show that the W-C-N thin film has good thermal stability and low resistivity. In this study we newly suggested sputtered W-B-C-N thin diffusion barrier. In order to improve the characteristics, we examined the impurity behaviors as a function of nitrogen gas flow ratio. This thin film is able to prevent the interdiffusion during high temperature (700 to $1000^{\circ}C$) annealing process and has low resistivity ($\sim$200$\mu{\Omega}-cm$). Through the analysis of X-Ray diffraction, resistivity and XPS, we studied structure behavior of W-B-C-N diffusion barrier.

For Ar=5, Pr=1.18, Le=0.15, Pe=2.89, Cv=1.06, $P_B$=20 Torr, the effects of impurity $(N_2)$ on thermally and solutally buoyancy-driven convection ($Gr_t=3.46{\times}10^4$ and $Gr_s=6.02{\times}10^5$, respectively) are theoretically investigated for further understanding and insight into an essence of thermo-solutal convection occurring in the vapor phase during the physical vapor transport. For $10K{\leq}{\Delta}T{\leq}50K$, the crystal growth rates are intimately related and linearly proportional to a temperature difference between the source and crystal region which is a driving force for thermally buoyancy-driven convection. Moreover, both the dimensionless Peclet number (Pe) and dimensional maximum velocity magnitudes are directly and linearly proportional to ${\Delta}T$. The growth rate is second order-exponentially decayed for $2{\leq}Ar{\leq}5$. This is related to a finding that the effects of side walls tend to stabilize the thermo-solutal convection in the growth reactor. Finally, the growth rate is found to be first order exponentially decayed for $10{\leq}P_B{\leq}200$ Torr.

As crude oil with heavier and/or highly oxidized components prevails, purification technologies such as desulfurization, denitrilization and demetalization have become important issues to control contents of sulfur and other impurities affecting the quality of petroleum. Also, the importance of catalyst technologies related with crude oil purification has been emphasized to control the production and yield of products. In this paper, technology trends of impurity removal such as sulfur, nitrogen and metal components from crude oil and catalysts related with purification of crude oil were studied through patent analysis. The patents published or registered in Korea, U. S. A., Japan, and Europe from mid 1970's to 2009 had been analyzed based on the application tendency, the distribution of major applicants, and their active indices, etc. The technology flow was figured out to see the technology trends.

This study was carried out experimentally on the production and properties of silicon nanopowders characteristics using a transferred type arc plasma apparatus. To investigate the properties of silicon nanopowder, the purity of argon gas(99.999%, 99.9%) and the partial pressure ratio of nitrogen gas(0~90%) were varied. The total pressure in chamber is 400Torr and the silicon chunk amount used as raw material is 300g. The power supplied to the cathode to generate arc plasma was 9~12kW/h, and the electrode was made of tungsten and graphite with a diameter of 13mm. The particle size, impurity elements and powder evaporation rate of the silicon powder were analyzed using the XRD, FE-SEM, TEM and electronic scale. According to the purity of argon gas, the silicon evaporation rate and the particle size were similar, and impurities were generated more in the case of 99.9% purity than 99.999%. When argon gas and nitrogen gas were mixed in the chamber, the silicon evaporation rate and particle size increased as the partial pressure ratio of nitrogen gas increased. In particular, when the partial pressure ratio of nitrogen gas was 80%, the silicon evaporation rate 80g/h, and the particle size was about 80~100nm.

Most of combustion processess used in industries require recovering or removing flue gas components. Recently a new MBA (moving bed adsorption) process for recovering $CO_2$ using zeolite 13X was developed. In this study, adsorption experiments for carbon dioxide, nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, and water vapor on zeolite 13X were carried out. Adsorption equilibrium and adsorption rate into solid particle were investigated. Langmuir, Toth, and Freundlich isotherm parameters were calculated from the experiment data at various temperatures. Experimental results were consistent with the theoretically predicted values. Also $CO_2$ adsorption amount was measured under the conditions with impurities such as $SO_2$ and $H_2O$. Binary adsorption data were well fitted to the extended Langmuir isotherm using parameters obtained from pure component experiment. However, $H_2O$ impurity less than, roughly, ${\sim}10^{-5}H_2O\;mol/g$ zeolite 13X enhanced slightly $CO_2$ adsorption. Spherical particle diffusion model well described experimentally measured adsorption rate. Diffusion coefficients and activation energies of $CO_2$, $SO_2$, $N_2$, $H_2O$ were obtained. Diffusion coefficients of $CO_2$ and $SO_2$ decreased with small amount of preadsorbed impurity. Parameter values from this study will be helpful to design of real commercial adsorption process.
