Method was developed to efficiently analyze semicarbazide (SEM) in foods. Although SEM is produced by thermal decomposition of blowing agent azodicarbonamide, it is too small to be activated by ultraviolet light or fluorescence. When 2-nitrobenzaldehyde semicarbazone, derivatization of SEM, was analyzed by HPLC with triple column system, coefficient correlation over 0.9997 and detection limit of 0.48 ng/g were observed. SEM level in commercial bottle cap gasket was 812.20-5771.30ng/g. Recoveries for SEM in food and PVC gasket were 83.45-97.33% and 92.12-98.71%, respectively. SEM level in plastic seals of press twist-off metal lids was ND-5771.330ng/g.

The analysis, hydrolysis mechanism, oxidation, reduction, thermal decomposition and metabolism of irritant materials such as chloroacetophenone isomers, bromophenylacetonitrile isomers, o-chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile(CS), and ethylisothiocyanate, etc. are interested in forensic science. We had studied hydrolysis of CS in 10% MeOH-$H_2O$ and 10% dioxane-$H_2O$ at pH 1.0~11.0 and various temperatures. As a result, we identified o-chlorobenzaldehyde and malononitrile that were formed by hydrolysis of CS by using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, UV/Vis spectrometry, and polarographic method.

The cryogenic nitrogen spray of a swirl injector has been numerically investigated using three dimensional LES turbulence model to analyze the dynamic characteristics under supercritical condition. To predict the precise nitrogen properties under supercritical condition, SRK equation of state, Chung's method for viscosity and thermal conductivity and Takahashi's correlation based on Fuller's theory for diffusion coefficient are implemented. The complex flow structures due to interaction between flow field and acoustic field are observed inside and outside the injector under supercritical condition. FFT, POD, and DMD techniques are employed to understand the coherent structures. By implementing the FFT, the dominant frequencies are identified inside and outside the injector. The coherent flow structures related to the dominant frequencies are visualized using the POD and DMD techniques. In addition, the DMD provides the damping coefficient which is related with the instability prediction.

$Bi_{4}Ti_{3}O_{12}$ (BiT) thin films were grown on the Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/si substrate using a metal organic decomposition (MOD) method. Effects of oxygen annealing on the structural properties and dielectric properties of the BiT thin films were investigated. The BiT films were well developed when rapid thermal annealed at $>500^{\circ}C$ in oxygen ambient. For the film annealed at $700^{\circ}C$, no crystalline phase was observed under oxygen free annealing atmosphere while its crystallinity was significantly enhanced as the oxygen pressure increased. The BiT film also exhibited a smooth surface with defect free grains. A high dielectric constant and a low dielectric loss were achieved satisfactory in the frequency range from 75 kHz to 1 MHz. Especially, the BiT film, annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ and 10 torr oxygen pressure, showed good dielectric properties: dielectric constant of 51 and dielectric loss of 0.2 % at 100 kHz. Its leakage current was also considerably improved, being as $0.62\;nA/cm^2$ at 1 V. Therefore, it is considered that the oxygen annealing has effects on an enhancement of crystallinity and dielectric properties of the BiT films.

Magnesium hydroxide as a non-halogen flame retardant has increasing attention due to its non-toxicity, high decomposition temperature and smoke suppressant ability during combustion. For the application of magnesium hydroxide retardant to the textile by soaking and coating method, the prerequisite for the coating is a small particle size, stable dispersion, and adhesion to the textile. The dispersion of $Mg(OH)_2$ particles and stability of the coating was checked by monitoring the change of transmittance and backscattering by varying the types of dispersion agents, binder, solvent, and $Mg(OH)_2$ source, and their compositions in the coating. The $Mg(OH)_2$ dispersion coating was applied to PET(poly(ethylene terephthalate)) non-woven textile. The physical properties are characterized by surface morphology, amount of coating, particle dispersion, and adhesion test. The flame retardant $Mg(OH)_2$ coated textile has been compared by limited oxygen index(LOI) and thermal gravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry(TG-DSC). It was found that phosphorous additive may give synergistic effect on $Mg(OH)_2$ flame retardant coating to make the flame retardant PET non-woven textile.

The use of aluminum-based coagulants in water pretreatment is being carefully considered because aluminum exposure is a risk factor for the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Lightly burned-dolomite kiln dust (LB-DKD) was evaluated as an alternative coagulant because it contains high levels of the healthful minerals calcium and magnesium. An organic pore forming agent (OPFA) was incorporated to prepare porous granules after OPFA removal through a thermal decomposition process. A spray drying method was used to produce uniform and reproducible spherical granules with low density, since fine dolomite particles have irregular agglomeration behavior in the hydration reaction. The use of fine dolomite powder and different porosity granules led to a visible color change in raw algae (RA) containing water, from dark green to transparent colorlessness. Also, dolomite powders and granules exhibited a mean removal efficiency of 48.3% in total nitrogen (T-N), a gradual increase in the removal efficiency of total phosphorus (T-P) as granule porosity increased. We demonstrate that porous dolomite granules can improve the settling time and water quality in summer seasons for the emergent treatment of excessive algal blooms in eutrophic water.

Sand casting 3D printing uses a binder jetting method to produce a mold having complicated shape by spraying a binder on sand coated with activator. Appropriate heat treatment process in sand mold fabrication can increase the degree of polymerization to improve flexural strength. However, long heat treatment of over 24 hours decreases flexural strength and reliability due to chemical bond decomposition through thermal degradation. The main role of the activator is to control the reaction rate between the polymer chains. As a result, when the activator composition is increased from 0.15 wt% to 0.25 wt%, the flexural strength is increased by 218 N/㎠. However, excess activator (0.40 wt%) has been shown to decrease reliability without increasing flexural strength. The main role of the binder is to control the flexural strength of the specimen. As the binder composition is increased from 2.00 wt% to 4.00 wt%, the flexural strength increases to about 255 N/㎠, indicating the maximum flexural strength increase. Finally, the reliability of the flexural strength of the fabricated specimens is evaluated by a Weibull plot. Weibull modulus calculations are used to evaluate the flexural strength reliability of the specimens, and maximum reliability value of 11.7 is obtained at 0.20 wt% activator composition. Therefore, it is confirmed that this composition has maximum flexural strength reliability.

Ultra-fine alumina, ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$, with ${\phi}$ = 0.1∼0.5 ${\mu}$m was obtained from pure ammonium aluminum sulfate(alum) as the thermal decomposition product. Pure alum(> 99.7%) could be prepared by the precepitation and the successive recrystallization in an acidic aqueous solution at pH = 1.5∼2.5, which was theoretically predicted by only considering the concentrations of hydroxide and carbonate for aluminum and sodium in the solution, and also experimentally confirmed as the optimum precepitation condition for alum without forming any impurities like aluminum hydroxide or sodium one.

Kinetic tests on pyrolysis of the mixture of waste automobile lubricating oil and polystyrene were carried out with thermogravimetric technique at the heating rates of 0.5, 1.0, $2.0^{\circ}C/min$ in a stirred batch reactor. The activation energy and the reaction order were determined at conversions of 1 to 100% using differential method. The mixture of waste automobile lubricating oil and polystyrene was pyrolyzed at lower temperature rather than waste automobile lubricating oil and polystyrene. respectively. Also, the thermal decomposition took place in two broad reaction steps. The pyrolyzed oil of mixture represented high selectivity of styrene monomer and dimer like that of polystyrene pyrolyzed products.
