Since discovery, NdFeB permanent magnet has replaced application of the conventional magnets rapidly because of its superior physical and mechanical properties. With increasing consumption of power combined with energy resource depletion, energy efficiency is becoming more and more inportant. According to recent reports, almost almost half of the electric power is consumed by motor, and NdFeB magnets which are the core component of the motor play a key role on improving energy efficiency of the devices. In parallel with finding alternatives energy resources, research works improving energy efficiecy have been conducted world wide. Althogh NdFeB magnets usage have been expanded to various applications, key materials such as Nd and Dy, resouces lean heavily on specific area, China. Magnetic industry revently experienced skyrocketing price fluctuatioin of rare earth at around 2008. Chineses government's regulations worsened the situation and arose a necessity to develop methods to minimize rare earth use. In this presentation, POSCO's recent research works on rare earth reduction is presented including novel powder alloying method using nitrate precursors. Also, future R&D plans for rare earth free magnets is briefly introduced as well.

This paper reports the effects of rare earth nitrate (REN) on the growth of internal organs and mineral elements in serums of broiler chickens. The REN used is mixture of light RE containing mainly La, Ce, Pr and Nd 4 elements. 40 eight-week old AA broiler chickens were divided randomly into four groups that their treatments were respectively 0, 20, 200 and 2000 mg REN/kg feed and the duration of the experiment was 60 days. Responses were measured in terms of internal organic weight and tissue, contents of mineral elements in serums. There were no significant differences between the organ ratios and tissue changes of the 20, 200 mg REN/kg groups and the control group. The organs included the heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, testicles, thyroids, adrenal glands, pancreas, tonsies of caecum, stomachus glandularis, duodenum, ileum and bursa of Fabricius. The liver and thyroid indices of 2000 mg REN/kg group were significantly higher than those of the control group (p < 0.01, p < 0.05) and the adrenal gland index lower (p < 0.05). The pathlolgic changes in the heart, kidney and thyroid were more serious than that of the control group. No significant differences occurred between the contents of K, Na, Mg elements in the serum of all groups, with the exception of the content of Ca, which was higher in the 2000 mg/kg group (p < 0.05). The contents of all trace elements including Mn, Zn and Cu, but except Fe, in the serums of all the treated groups were significantly higher than those of the control group (p < 0.01).

질소 시용에 의한 치커리의 질산염 축적과 희토처리가 질산염 강하에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위하여 질소 시비수준에 따른 치커리 잎의 성장과 수량, 엽록소 함량, 질산엽 함량 등을 조사하였으며, 희토처리가 치커리의 생육촉진과 질산태질소 함량 감소에 미치는 영향 등을 조사한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 질소 시비수준이 증가할수록 치커리 잎이 두꺼워지고 잎 크기도 커졌으며, 같은 수준의 질소 시비구에서 희토처리로 잎이 두꺼워지고 잎의 크기도 커졌다. N+2구에서 희토처리 효과가 가장 뚜렷하였다(p<0.05). 2. 질소처리 수준이 높아질수록 치커리 엽중 총 엽록소 함량과 엽록소-a 함량은 감소되었으나 엽록소-b에 대한 엽록소-a의 비율은 증가되었다. 희토처리로 총 엽록소 함량, 엽록소-a 함량 및 엽록소 a/b율이 모두 증가되었으나 통계적인 유의성은 인정되지 않았다. 3. 생체와 건물수량이 질소 시비수준 증가에 따라 증가하였으며, N+2구에서 유의성이 인정되었다(p<0.05). 희토 사용으로 생체수량은 6.7∼17.0%, 건물수량은 9.0∼10.8%증가되었다. 질소 시용증가로 건물율이 감소되었으나 희토시용은 건물율을 4.6∼5.8% 증가시켰다. 4. 질소 시용수준이 높을수록 치커리의 질산 태 질소 함량이 증가하였으나, 희토 엽면살포로 그 함량이 감소되었으며 N+2 처리구에서는 45.9%나 감소되었다. 5. 희토시용은 식물 생장에 필수적 요인인 엽록소 함량을 증가시켜 식물 생장을 촉진하고, 특히 식물체내 질산태질소 강하효과가 뚜렷하여 안전 농산물생산의 가능성을 보여 주었다.

An aspect of organophilic modification for the delamination is described for the layered rare-earth hydroxides in this paper. The interlayer property of $RE_2(OH)_5NO_3{\cdot}nH_2O$, where RE=Eu (LEuH) and Tb (LTbH), was modified by the exchange reaction of nitrate ion with oleate anion that is one of the representative dispersion agents in nonpolar solvents. The bilayer arrangement of long oleate anions in the gallery of $RE_2(OH)_5NO_3{\cdot}nH_2O$ could effectively weaken the stacking of the hydroxide layers. Highly organophilic environment of the interlayer space promoted the introduction of toluene to delaminate the layered structure into their individual sheets. When irradiated with 365 nm UV, the resulting transparent colloidal solutions of toluene containing LEuH and LTbH nanosheets yielded typical red and green emissions, respectively, which are visible to the naked eye.

희토류원소를 tri-n-butyl phospate와 질산염을 이용하여 용매추출하고 물로 역추출하여, 희토류원소의 군분리 효율을 조사하고 ICP-AES에서 스펙트럼의 방해영향이 없는 분석을 시도하였다. 용매추출시 분배계수를 증가시키기 위하여 $NaNO_3$ 농도에 따른 영향을 조사하고, 소수성 용매의 첨가시 추출효율을 조사하였다. $NaNO_3$ 농도가 증가할수록 추출효율은 증가하며, 5M 이상에서 추출효율이 95% 이상으로 높았다. 반면에 소수성용매의 첨가는 추출효율을 감소시켰다. 이 방법을 모나자이트 중 희토류원소의 분석에 이용하였으나 분석결과의 정밀도가 20% 이상으로 높아 분석에 이용하기에는 어려움이 있었다.

Nano-sized $Y_2O_3$ powders were prepared via a sol-gel method starting with $Y(NO_3)_3{\cdot}6H_2O$ (Yttrium(III) nitrate hexahydrate) and water with ethanol as a cosolvent. $Y_2O_3$ is an important rare earth oxide and has been considered for use in nuclear applications, such as ceramic materials, due to its excellent optical and refractory characteristics. It has been used as a chemically stable substrate, a crucible material for melting reactive metals, and a nozzle material for jet casting molten rare earth-iron magnetic alloys. Oxalic acid ($C_2H_2O_4$) has been adopted as a chelating agent in order to control the rate of hydrolysis and polycondensation, and ammonia was added in order to adjust the base condition. The synthesized $Y_2O_3$ powder was characterized using TG/DTA, XRD, FE-SEM, BET and Impedance Analyzer analyses. The powder changed its properties in accordance with the pH conditions of the catalyst. As the pH increases according to the FE-SEM, the grain grew and it showed that the pore size decreased while confirming the effect of the grain size. The nano-material $Y_2O_3$ powders demonstrated that the surface area was improved with the addition of oxalic acid with ammonium hydroxide.

This paper investigates the characteristics of high $PM_{2.5}$ episodes occurred at Anmyeondo area in spring time, 2009. The monthly mean $PM_{2.5}$ concentration during April was the highest in the year and especially, high levels of $PM_{2.5}$ exceeding standard regulation level were sustained consecutively during 5 to 13 April. To analyze more detailed $PM_{2.5}$ characteristics, numerical simulations were carried out using CMAQ(Community Multi-scale Air Quality) with IPR(Integrated Process Rate) and DDM-3D(Decoupled Direct Method). $PM_{2.5}$ level was lower in daytime than that in nighttime due to vigorous vertical mixing during daytime. The chemical composition was showed that ratio of primary ion components such as sulfate($SO_4{^{2-}}$), nitrate($NO_3{^-}$) and ammonium($NH_4{^+}$) were nearly half of total amount of $PM_{2.5}$. Aerosol and transport process dominantly contributed to $PM_{2.5}$ concentration in Anmyeondo area and contribution rate of local emissions was nearly zero since Anmyeondo area has rare anthropogenic PM emission sources. DDM-3D analysis result showed that $PM_{2.5}$ in Anmyeondo area was influenced by emissions from Shanghai and Shandong region of China.

Glycine-nitrate와 citric acid를 이용하여 단상의 Ni-Zn ferrite, Ba-ferrite 나노입자와 두 나노복합체 ferrite의 전구체를 제조하고 이를 열처리하여 XRD 및 FT-IR로 각각의 상 분석을, SEM으로 분말의 형상과 크기를, VSM으로 자기적 특성과 합성된 나노복합체 ferrite에서의 exchange-coupling 상호작용을 확인하였다. XRD 분석 결과, 자전 연소법으로 얻은 전구체로 단상의 Ni-Zn ferrite와 Ba-ferrite 나노 입자 및 $BaFe_{12}O_{19}/Ni_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}Fe_2O_4$ 나노복합체 페라이트가 합성되었으며, 나노복합체에는 $BaFe_{12}O_{19}$와 $Ni_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}Fe_2O_4$가 잘 분포되어 있어 경자성과 연자성이 공존하고 있음을 확인하였고, 나노복합체 페라이트의 히스테리시스 곡선의 형상을 통해 경자성과 연자성 사이에 exchange-copuling이 잘 이루어졌음을 확인할 수 있었다. VSM으로 측정한 나노복합체의 경우. GNP로 제조한 precursor를 $900^{\circ}C$에서 하소한 $BaFe_{12}O_{19}/Ni_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}Fe_2O_4$ 나노복합체는 포화자화 81.69 emu/g, 잔류자화 38 emu/g, 보자력 2598.48G를 나타내었다. $Ni_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}Fe_2O_4/BaFe_{12}O_{19}$ 복합체에서 $BaFe_{12}O_{19}$의 무게비가 증가 할수록 보자력은 증가하였고, 포화자화값과 잔류자화 값은 감소하였다.
