A new type plasma reactor is proposed to decompose CF4 diluted with N2 gas in atmospheric pressure. The arc plasmas is surrounded with a waterwall which acts as a source of water vapor, the solvent of HF, resultant product after decomposition, and conveyer to take away fluorine compound from exhaust gas. Abatement more than 99% is achieved by small size plasmas such as 1 cm in diameter, 25cm in length and 3.4KW of DC discharge power in such gas as the mixture of 100 sccm of CF4 and 15 slm of N2. Reactors of this type are to be expanded to such a system as Nitrogen flow of 50 slm with 200 sccm of CF4 and 7-8 KW discharge power.

In this work, we describe a novel and simple technique to produce non-hydrate surfactant complexes for the formation of highly crystalline fatty acid modified SPIONs by thermolysis of iron oleate (FeOl) complexes in a non-coordinating solvent. FeOl complexes were prepared by direct coordination of iron ions and carboxylic acid; thus, we could control the stoichiometric composition of the precursor by changing the molar ratio of fatty acid and metal ions. The discrete thermal behaviors and chemical coordination of the intermediate non-hydrated FeOl were studied by thermo-analytic techniques including differential scanning calorimetry, thermal gravimetric analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.

Two-component ceramic (alumina-zirconia) composites were fabricated by a soft-solution process in which polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used as a polymeric carrier. Metal salts and PEG were dissolved in ethyl alcohol without any precipitation in 1:1 volume ratio of alumina and zirconia. In the non-aqueous system, the flammable solvent made explosive, exothermic reaction during drying process. The reaction resulted in formation of volume expanded, porous precursor powders by a vigorous decomposition of organic components in the precursor sol. The PEG content affected the grain size of sintered composites as well as the morphology of precursor powders. The difference of microstructure in sintered composite was attribute to the solubility and homogeneity of metal cations in precursor sol. At the optimum amount of the PEG polymer, the metal ions were dispersed effectively in solution and a homogeneous polymeric network was formed. It made less agglomerated particles in the precursor sol and affected on uniform grain size in sintered composite.

Inorganic-organic hybrid Li$^+$ ion conductors were prepared by the sol-gel process. Tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS), polyethylene glycol 200 (PEG$_200$) and lithium bis (trifluoro-methylsulfony) imide were used as raw materials and $H_2O$ was used as a solvent. Hybrid Li$^+$ ion conductor prepared by the sol-gel process showed very high ion conductivities of log${\sigma}_R.T$(S/cm)=-3.73, log${\sigma}_60$(S/cm)=-3.00 at room temperature and $60^{\circ}C$, respectivery. Decomposition voltage was 3.1 V.

It is now widely recognized that the disposal of packaging waste is an increasing environmental concern. Recent interest in polymer waste management of packaging materials has added incentive to the research. Poly(vinyl alcohol) is a readily biodegradable water-soluble polymer. However, this polymer cannot be processed by conventional extrusion technologies because the melting point of PVA is close to its decomposition temperature. Therefore, PVA films have been mostly prepared by solvent casting from water. Applications of PVA include sizing, binders, fibers, and films for agricultural chemicals and hospital laundry bags. A better understanding of PVA films, which also play important roles in the degradation of plastics, will expand the usage of PVA. Composite films based on PVA generally exhibit better mechanical and thermal properties than pure PVA. The aim of this review article is to review types, formation, and properties of PVA films and PVA based composite films used in packaging related researches.

Furfuryl acetate was chlorinated in presence of acetic acid using carbontetrachloride as the solvent. When the chlorination proceeded at the low concentration of acetic acid, the formation of the tetrachloride was more efficient than that of higher concentration. The chlorination done in presence of various Lewis acids such as aluminum chloride, hydrogen fluoride, and borontrifluoride could not give high yield of tetrachloride, but trichloride. In case of borontrifluoride and hydrogen fluoride, the decomposition of the reaction mixture was apparent. The results were discussed in terms of the stability of furfuryl nucleus towards an electron acceptor and the convenient procedure of preparing trichloro furfuryl acetate was described.

Nitrogen oxide gases which were produced by spontaneous reaction of nitrocellulose(NC) in the single base propellant accelerate the decomposition of propellant, and result in the reduction of shelf life. The amount of nitrogen oxide was reduced by the addition of 0.3wt% $CaCO_3$ to conventional stabilizer(DPA) and down of the solvent leaching temperature from $64^{\circ}C$ to $56^{\circ}C$, which extended the shelf life of the single base propellant as much as twice compare with commercial propellant. The perforation diameter increase of propellant from 0.64mm to 0.77mm could compensate for the drop of burning rate which was caused the addition of $CaCO_3$.

In this research, we investigate the effect of microwave pretreatment on the recovery of gold from the gold concentrates by thiourea leaching. The changes in mineral phases by decomposition of pyrites in the gold concentrates using microwave were observed, and the result of microwave irradiation showed that the temperature of the irradiated sample increases with increasing irradiation time. With the reaction of temperature increases, Sulfur (S) in pyrites was converted to sulfur dioxide (SO₂), and then the content of S in the sample was reduced. The analytical results of XRD and SEM-EDS showed that pyrites are converted to magnetite and hematite, and its surfaces are changed to a porous shape where micro-cracks are developed. The Au leaching efficiency from the irradiated gold concentrates using thiourea-mixed solvent increased with the increases of irradiation time and solvent concentration. The experimental results considering leaching parameters indicate that the mechanism of microwave irradiation increases the maximum leaching efficiency and leaching rate of the gold concentrates, and the solvent does a role for the increasing of leaching rate constant.

Iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared by the thermal decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl (Fe(CO)$_5$) Poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) was used as surface-modifying agent to control the size of the iron oxide nanoparticles. The crystalline structure of PVP coated iron oxide nanoparticles was determined by XRD. The size of PVP coated iron oxide nanoparticles was determined by TEM and ELS. The particle sizes of PVP coated iron oxide nanoparticles were controlled by adjusting the molar ratio of PVP/Fe (CO)$_5$, solvent and molecular weight of PVP Particle sizes increased with increasing PVP content. Spherical $50\~100$ nm sized iron oxide nanoclusters were produced when dimethylformamide was used as a solvent. And well-defined 10 nm iron oxide nanoparticles were produced in Carbitol. The prepared PVP coated iron oxide nanoparticles exhibited a well-dispersed property in water. The results obtained in this study confirmed the feasibility of the PVP-coated iron oxide nanoparticles as a biomaterial for MRI contrast agent.
