The $SO_2$ reduction using CO and $H_2$ over Sn-Zr based catalysts was performed in this study. Sn-Zr based catalysts with Sn/Zr molar ratio (0/1, 1/4, 1/1, 2/1, 3/1, 1/0) were prepared by the precipitation and co-precipitation method. The effect of the temperature on the reaction characteristics of the $SO_2$ reduction with a reducing agent such as $H_2$ and CO was investigated under the conditions of space velocity of $10,000ml/g_{-cat.}h$, $([CO(or\;H_2)]/[SO_2])$ of 2.0. As a result, the activity of Sn-Zr based catalysts were higher than $SnO_2$ and $ZrO_2$. The reactivity for the $SO_2$ reduction with CO was higher than that with $H_2$, and sulfur yield in the $SO_2$ reduction by $H_2$ was higher than that by CO. The reactivity for the $SO_2$ reduction with $H_2$ was increased with the reaction temperature regardless of Sn-Zr based catalyst with a Sn/Zr molar ratio. $SnO_2-ZrO_2$ (Sn/Zr=1/4) had highest activity at $550^{\circ}C$, in the $SO_2$ reduction with $H_2$ and $SO_2$ conversion of 94.4％ and sulfur yield of 66.4％ were obtained at $550^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, in the $SO_2$ reduction by CO, the reactivity was decreased with the increase over $325^{\circ}C$. At the optimal temperature of $325^{\circ}C$, $SO_2$ conversion and sulfur yield were about 100％ and 99.5％, respectively, in the $SO_2$ reduction over $SnO_2-ZrO_2$ (Sn/Zr=3/1). Also, the $SO_2$ reduction using syngas with $CO/H_2$ ratio over $SnO_2-ZrO_2$ (Sn/Zr=2/1) was performed in order to investigate the application possibility of the simulated coal gas as the reductant in DSRP. As a result, the reactivity of the $SO_2$ reduction using syngas with $CO/H_2$ ratio was increased with increasing the CO content of syngas. Therefore, it could be known that DSRP using the simulated coal gas over Sn-Zr based catalyst is possible to be realized in IGCC system

To improve mechanical properties of $Al_2$O$_3$/ZrO$_2$composites have been controlled dispersion of ultra low size ZrO$_2$ particles in $Al_2$O$_3$ ceramics by polymeric precursor method (Pechini process). In case of coprecipitation or mechanical mixing of ZrO$_2$ powders with $Al_2$O$_3$, homogeneous dispersion and controlling the ZrO$_2$ size were relatively difficult due to high sintering temperature. So the polyesterization process of Zr/Y(NO$_3$)$_3$-citric acid solution in ethylene glycol with the commercial sub-micron sized o(-alumina powder (Sumitomo AES-11(0.4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$)) was adopted in order to obtain homogeneous dispersion of ZrO$_2$ in A1203. By this partial polyesterization process, the homogeneous dispersion of relatively low sized ZrO$_2$in $Al_2$O$_3$/ZrO$_2$composites was achieved at 1450∼1$600^{\circ}C$ of sintering temperature range and their mechanical properties were measured.

Surface oxidation behavior of ZIRLO (ZIRconium Low Oxidation) hulls was investigated using an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) technique. The effects of oxidation time (10-336 h at $500^{\circ}C$) and temperature ($400-700^{\circ}C$ for 10 h) were studied. Deconvolution results of the hulls oxidized at $500^{\circ}C$ revealed that a $ZrO_2$ phase appeared after 24 h (11.86%), and an increase in the $ZrO_2$ ratio was observed when the hulls were oxidized for 336 h (17.93%). On the other hand, the ZrO phase which employed 5.68% in the 10 h oxidized sample disappeared when the oxidation time increased to 24 h. The XPS results also showed that an increase in the oxidation temperature resulted in an increase in the ratio of ZrO, which increased from 0 to 5.68, 8.31, and 9.16% when the oxidation temperature increased from 400 to 500, 600, and $700^{\circ}C$, respectively. $ZrO_2$ phase was observed only in the sample that was oxidized at $700^{\circ}C$. The mechanism of ZrO formation was not conclusive, but it was suggested that a formation of hydroxide might have been accelerated at elevated temperatures leading to a formation of a $Zr(OH)_4$ phase. The relationship between the surface oxidation status of the hulls oxidized at $500^{\circ}C$ and their chlorination reaction feasibility was discussed, and it was suggested that the thickness of the oxide layer is an important parameter that determines the chlorination reaction feasibility.

The effect of $Al_{2}O_{3}$ additives on the microstructure, mechanical and electrical properties of ${\beta}$-SiC+39vol.%$ZrB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composites by pressureless sintering were investigated. The ${\beta}$-SiC+39vol.%$ZrB_2$ ceramic composites were pressureless sintered by adding 4, 8, 12wt.% $Al_{2}O_{3}$ powder as a liquid forming additives at $1950^{\circ}C$ for 1h. Phase analysis of composites by XRD revealed mostly of $\alpha$-SiC(6H), $ZrB_2$ and weakly $\alpha$-SiC(4H), $\beta$-SiC(15R) phase. The relative density of composites was lowered by gaseous products of the result of reaction between $\beta$-SiC and $Al_{2}O_{3}$ therefore, porosity was increased with increased $Al_{2}O_{3}$ contents. The fracture toughness of composites was decreased with increased $Al_{2}O_{3}$ contents, and showed the maximum value of $1.4197MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ for composite added with 4wt.% $Al_{2}O_{3}$ additives. The electrical resistivity of ${\beta}$-SiC+39vol.%$ZrB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composite was increased with increased $Al_{2}O_{3}$ contents, and showed positive temperature coefficient resistance (PTCR) in the temperature from $25^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$.

40$0^{\circ}C$ H$_{2}$O, D$_{2}$O및 $O_{2}$분위기에서 Zr-2.5Nb합금의 부식거동을 분석하였다. Martensitic $\alpha$'-Zr상이나 $\alpha$-Zr과 $\beta$-Zr상의 Zr-2.5Nb합금인 경우, 부식분위기에 매우 민감하여, $O_{2}$속에서 가장 큰 부식속도를 보였다. 반면, $\alpha$-Zr나 $\beta$-Zr상의 경우, 부식 매질에 따른 별다른 차이없이 높은 부식저항성을 보였다. 이러한 Zr-2.5Nb 합금의 미세조직 및 부식 매질에 따른 부식거동변화는 Zr-2.5Nb 합금의 음극 지배 부식반응의 관점으로 해석되었으며, 이들 결과를 이용하여 CANDU 형및 RBMK 형 Zr-2.5Nb 압력관의 가동조건 차이를 설명할 수 있었다. Zr-2.5Nb 합금의 모든 조직에서 주로 단사정 ZrO$_{2}$산화물이 형성되었으며, 산화물내 정방정 ZrO$_{2}$비율은 산화물 두께가 증가함에 따라 감소하였다.

Selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen monoxide by hydrogen ($H_2$-SCR of NO) over platinum catalysts impregnated on zirconia-incorporated silica ($ZrO_2-SiO_2$) and manganese oxide ($MnO_x$) was investigated. $Pt-MnO_x$ catalyst showed low conversions and low yields of $N_2O$ and $NO_2$ at $100{\sim}350^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, NO conversions over $Pt/ZrO_2-SiO_2$ were very high, but $N_2O$ was predominantly produced at $100-150^{\circ}C$ and the yield of $NO_2$ increased with temperature at $200-300^{\circ}C$, resulting in poor $N_2$ yields. $Pt-MnO_x/ZrO_2-SiO_2$ exhibited a small enhancement in $N_2$ yield at $100-150^{\circ}C$ due to the synergy of $MnO_x$ and $ZrO_2-SiO_2$. The surface composition and oxidation state of the catalyst components and the acidity of the catalysts were examined. IR spectra of the adsorption of NO and their subsequent reactions with hydrogen on these catalysts were also recorded. The variations of conversion and product yield according to the catalyst components in the $H_2$-SCR of NO were discussed in relation to their catalytic roles.

$Al_2O_3-ZrO_2$ ceramics was obtained by the co-precipitation method using $Al_2(SO_4)_2$.$18H_2O$ and $ZrOCl_2$.$8H_2O$ as starting materials $MgCl_2$.$6H_2O$ as a sintering aid and NH4OH as a hydrolyzing agent. The coprecipitate from the above raw materials was calcined at 125$0^{\circ}C$ for 1h and again sintered at 1$650^{\circ}C$ for 2h before measurements of strength hardness and fracture toughness. MgO addition was found to increase mechanical properties of the $Al_2O_3-ZrO_2$ system. The strength and frac-ture toughness of $Al_2O_3-ZrO_2$ ceramics were considered to be increased by stress-induced phase tranforma-tion of $ZrO_2$.

This paper describes the characteristics of Ru-Zr alloy gate electrodes deposited by co-sputtering. The various atomic composition was made possible by controlling sputtering power of Ru and Zr. Thermal stability was examined through 600 and 700 $^{\circ}C$ RTA annealing. Variation of oxide thickness and X-ray diffraction(XRD) pattern after annealing were employed to determine the reaction at interface. Low and relatively stable sheet resistances were observed for Ru-Zr alloy after annealing. Electrical properties of alloy film were measured from MOS capacitor and specific atomic composition of Zr and Ru was found to yield compatible work function for nMOS. Ru-Zr alloy was stable up to $700^{\circ}C$ while maintaining appropriate work function and oxide thickness.

유효 산화막 두께가 약 2.0nm 정도의 $ZrO_2$ 절연막 위에 Ta-Mo 금속 합금과 Ru-Zr 금속 합금을 Co-sputtering 방법을 이용하여 여러 가지 일함수를 갖는 MOS capacitor를 제작하여 전기적 재료적 특성에 관하여 연구를 하였다. 그 결과 각각의 금속 합금 게이트는 4.1eV 에서 5.1eV 사이의 다양한 일함수를 나타냈으며, $400^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$, $700^{\circ}C$, $800^{\circ}C$ RTA 후의 C-V특성 곡선 및 I-V 측정을 통하여 누설전류를 확인하였다. 그 결과 Ta-Mo 금속 합금의 경우 스퍼터링 파워가 100W/70W에서 NMOS에 적합한 일함수를 가졌으며, Ru-Zr 금속 합금의 경우 스퍼터링 파워가 50W/100W에서 NMOS에 적합한 일함수를 가졌다. 열처리 후의 C-V특성 곡선에서도 정전용랑 값이 거의 변하지 않았으며 평탄 전압의 변화도 거의 없었다. 누설전류 특성에서는 물리적 두께가 비슷한 기존의 $SiO_2$ 절연막에서 실험결과와 비교하여 약 100배 정도 감소되었음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 기존의 실험들에서 나타난 열처리 후의 $ZrO_2$ 절연막과 Si 기판 사이의 Interfacial layer 의 동반 두께 증가로 인한 전기적 특성 저하가 나타나지 않는 줄은 특성을 보여준다.
