선택적 촉매 환원(SCR)은 질소산화물 배출을 줄이는 가장 효과적인 방법이지만, V₂O₅-WO₃/TiO₂ 촉매가 좁은 작동온도 (300~400℃) 범위를 가지기 때문에, V₂O₅-WO₃/TiO₂ 촉매의 작동 온도범위가 200~450℃인 새로운 촉매를 개발하였다. SCR 과정에서 생성되는 촉매 독인 황산암모늄은 350℃ 이상으로 가열함으로써 제거할 수 있다. 촉매 활성 부위의 수를 증가시키고 활성 물질의 분산을 촉진하기 위해 TiO₂ 지지체에 티타늄 이소프로폭사이드(TTIP) 처리를 여러 TTIP/TiO₂ 질량비로 진행하였다. 그 중 5 wt% TTIP 부하에서 높은 W 분산성으로 인해 열 안정성이 증가하였고 V⁵⁺가 형성되어 최적의 성능을 보였다. 5 wt% TTIP 부하로 처리된 촉매를 One-step co-precipitation으로 제조하였을 때 기존의 방법보다 더 나은 V-OH와 W-OH 분산 및 상호작용 향상이 나타나 더 낮은 온도에서 높은 촉매 활성으로 인해 향상된 성능을 보였다. 이를 향후 TTIP를 이용하여 TiO₂촉매의 표면을 개선하려는 연구자에게 이해하기 쉽게 설명하고자 하였다.

A process for nitrogen doping of TiO₂ ceramics was developed, whereby polycrystalline titania particles were prepared at 450-1000℃ with variation of the firing schedule under N₂ atmosphere. The effect of nitrogen doping on the polycrystallites was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman analysis. The microstructure of the TiO₂ ceramics changed with variation of the firing temperature and the firing atmosphere (N₂ or O₂). The microstructural changes in the nitrogen-doped TiO₂ ceramics were closely related to changes in the Raman spectra. Within the evaluated temperature range, the nitrogen-doped titania ceramics comprised anatase and/or rutile phases, similar to those of titania ceramics fired in air. Infiltration of nitrogen gas into the titania ceramics was analyzed by Raman spectroscopy and XRD analysis, showing a considerable change in the profiles of the N₂-doped TiO₂ ceramics compared with those of the TiO₂ ceramics fired under O₂ atmosphere. The nitrogen doping in the anatase phase may produce active sites for photocatalysis in the visible and ultraviolet regions.

$TiO_2-SiO_2-In_2O_3$ nanocomposite thin film was deposited on the glass substrates using a dip coating technique. The morphology, surface composition, surface hydroxyl groups, photocatalytic activity and hydrophilic properties of the thin film were investigated by AFM, XPS, methyl orange decoloring rate and water contact angle measurements. The hydroxyl content for $TiO_2$, $TiO_2-SiO_2$ and $TiO_2-SiO_2-In_2O_3$ nanocomposite films was calculated to be 11.6, 17.1 and 20.7%, respectively. $TiO_2-SiO_2-In_2O_3$ film turned superhydrophilic after 180-min irradiation with respect to pure $TiO_2$ and $TiO_2-SiO_2$ thin films. The photocatalytic decomposition of methyl orange for $TiO_2$, $TiO_2-SiO_2$ and $TiO_2-SiO_2-In_2O_3$ thin films was measured as 38.19, 58.71 and 68.02%, respectively. The results indicated that $SiO_2$ and $In_2O_3$ had a significant effect on the hydrophilic, photocatalytic and self-cleaning properties of $TiO_2$ thin film.

부지가 폴리염화비페닐(polychlorinated biphenyls, PCBs)로 오염되면, 심각한 환경 및 건강 위해를 피할 수 없게 된다. 따라서 혁신적이지만 경제성을 지니는 제자리 복원 기술이 오염 부지에 즉시 적용되어야 한다. TCE, PCE 및 DDT와 같은 염소계 유기화합물의 탈염소화를 위하여 최근에는 나노 규모의 영가-철(zero-valent iron, ZVI)이 성공적으로 적용되었고, 지구 지각에서도 풍부하게 존재하는 철은 환경적으로 안전한 것으로 통상적으로 간주된다. 입상 ZVI에 비해 나노 규모 ZVI의 반응성은 훨씬 높지만, 높은 표면에너지와 자기적 물성 때문에 나노 규모 ZVI 입자들은 서로 응결된다. 서로 응결되어 큰 입자로 전환되는 것을 방지하기 위해 먼저 생성된 나노 ZVI 입자들을 가능한 고정화하기 위한 방안으로 TiO₂ 분말에 나노 ZVI를 담지하였다. FeSO₄와 TiO₂ 분말의 수용액상 슬러리에 NaBH₄를 천천히 첨가하여10wt% ZVI/TiO₂를 제조하였다. 입자 크기의 불균일성에도 불구하고, 나노 ZVI 입자들이 TiO₂ 외부 표면에 성공적으로 분산되었다. 제조된 ZVI/TiO₂는 PCBs의 표준 물질 일종인 Aroclor 1242로 인위적으로 오염시킨 토양의 PCBs 분해 실험에 적용되었고, Aroclor 1242 분해 성능을 관찰하였다. 제조된 ZVI/TiO₂는 Aroclor 1242 분해에 꽤 높은 반응성을 보였지만, 분자량이 큰 탄화수소로 판단되는 화합물이 부산물로 생성되어 토양에 잔류하는 것은 피할 수 없었다.

Tannery wastewater is known to contain high concentrations of organic compounds, pathogens, and other toxic inorganic elements such as heavy metals, nitrogen, sulfur, etc. Biological methods such as aerobic and anaerobic processes are unsuitable for tannery wastewater treatment due to its high salinity, and electrochemical oxidation offers a promising method to solve this problem. In this study, raw tannery wastewater treatment using DSA® Ti/RuO₂, Ti/IrO₂ and Ti/BDD electrodes with continuous flow systems was examined. Effects of current densities and electrolysis times were investigated, to evaluate the process performance and energy consumption. The results showed that a Ti/BDD electrode is able to reach higher treatment efficiency than Ti/IrO₂, and Ti/RuO₂ electrodes across all parameters, excluding Total Nitrogen. The main mechanism of tannery wastewater oxidation at a Ti/BDD electrode is based on direct oxidation on the electrode surface combined with the generation of oxidants such as °OH and Cl₂, while at DSA® Ti/RuO₂ and Ti/IrO₂ electrodes, the oxidation mechanisms are based on the generation of chlorine. After treatment, the effluents can be discharged to the environment after 6-12 h of electrolysis. Electrooxidation thus offers a promising method for removing the nutrients and non-biodegradable organic compounds in tannery wastewater.

La₂O₃ 첨가량에 따른 결정상 및 미세구조 변화와 유전특성과의 상관관계에 대해 연구하였다. 고상반응법을 이용해 합성된 0.3 mol% TiO₂ 과잉 BaTiO₃ 분말에 대해 La₂O₃ 첨가량을 다르게 첨가하여 1250℃에서 2시간 동안 소결되었다. 상온에서 측정된 XRD는 La₂O₃ 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 lattice parameter가 변화하였고, 정방정비가 감소하였다. 이는 La³⁺가 Ba²⁺ 자리에 치환되어 정방정상의 불안정성을 높여 입방정상으로 상전이 된 것으로 설명할 수 있다. La₂O₃ 첨가량이 증가할 때, 임계입자성장구동력(Δg_c)이 최대 입자성장구동력 (Δg_max)보다 높아져, 입자크기와 밀도가 감소하였다. 유전상수는 La₂O₃가 증가함에 따라 감소하였는데, 이를 결정상 및 미세구조의 변화에 대한 효과로 분석하였다.

Strong solid acid catalysts, NiO/Al2O3-TiO2/WO3 for ethylene dimerization were prepared by the addition of Al2O3 and the modification with WO3. The acid sites and acid strength were increased by the inductive effect of WO3 species bonded to the surface of catalysts. The larger the dispersed WO3 amount, the higher both the acidity and catalytic activity for ethylene dimerization. The addition of Al2O3 to TiO2 up to 5 mol% enhanced acidity and catalytic activity gradually due to the interaction between Al2O3 and TiO2 and consequent formation of Al-O-Ti bond.

Electrical behaviors of plasma-sprayed $Al_2O_3-TiO_2$ coatings have been investigated in terms of their $TiO_2$ content. On increasing the $TiO_2$ content from 6 to 30 wt%, the DC electrical conductivity increased by several orders of magnitude. From impedance spectroscopy analysis, the total conductivity of the grains and grain boundaries and their respective activation energies were determined without the electrode effects that could impede ionic transfer. An electron transference number was also estimated, ranging between 6.5% and 7.3% for 13 wt% $TiO_2$ and between 0.4% and 0.7% for 30 wt% $TiO_2$ in the coating. Because of the high electronic contribution to the total conductivity, the $Al_2O_3-TiO_2$ coating could be a new candidate material to obtain superior electrical conductivity as well as corrosion and wear resistances.

Aluminium titanate($Al_2TiO_5$) has extremely anisotropic thermal expansion properties in single crystals, and polycrystalline material spontaneously microcracks in the cooling step after sintering process. These fine intergranular cracks limit the strength of the material, but provide an effective mechanism for absorbing strain energy during thermal shock and preventing catastrophic crack propagation. Furthermore, since machinable BN-ceramics used as an insulating substrate in current micro-electronic industry are very expensive, the development of new low-cost machinable substrate ceramics are consistently required. Therefore, cheap $Al_2TiO_5$-machinable ceramics was studied for the replacement of BN ceramics. $Al_2O_3-Al_2TiO_5$ ceramic composite was fabricated via in-situ reaction sintering. $Al_2O_3$ and $TiO_2$ powders were mixed with various mol-ratio and sintered at 1400 to $1600^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. Density, hardness and strength of sintered ceramics were systematically measured. Phase analysis and microstructures were observed by XRD and SEM, respectively. Machinability of each specimens was tested by micro-hole machining. The results of research showed that the $Al_2TiO_5$-composites could be used for low-cost machinable ceramics.

In this paper, a powerful photocatalyst based on carbon nanocomposite is developed in order to obtain a new material applicable in water treatment and especially for the discoloration of effluents used in the textile industry. For that, TiO₂-graphene nanocomposites have been successfully synthesized by a mixture of Functionalized Graphene Sheet (FGS) and tetrachlorotitanium complexes to form FGS-TiO₂ nanocomposite. In the presence of an anionic surfactant, we used a new chemical process to functionalize graphene sheets in order to make them an excellent medium for blocking and preventing the aggregation of TiO₂ nanoparticles. The components of these nanocomposites are characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), which confirms the successful formation of the FGS-TiO₂ nanocomposite. It was found that the TiO₂ nanoparticles were dispersed uniformly on the graphene plane which possesses better charge separation capability than pure TiO₂. The FGS-TiO₂ nanocomposites exhibited higher photocatalytic activity compared to pure TiO₂ for the removal of three dyes: such as Methylene Blue (MB), Bromophenol Blue (BB) and Alizarin Red-S (AR) in water. The removal process was fast and more efficient with FGS-TiO₂ nanocomposite in daylight (in the absence of UV irradiation) compared to pure TiO₂ nanoparticles without and under UV in all pH range.
