A simple heterogeneous system has been developed by using base treated manganese dioxide (B-$MnO_2$) for the aerobic oxidation of amines under mild reaction conditions of 1 atm of air and $50^{\circ}C$ in hexane. This system was highly efficient to oxidize various kinds of primary or secondary amines including aliphatic, aromatic, and hetero-atomic ones under the applied reaction conditions. Amines were oxidized to nitriles or diimines by the self-condensation or oxidative dehydrogenation through imine intermediate. The B-$MnO_2$ was reused for at least 5 times without any loss of its catalytic performance and showed its cost effectiveness, easy workup, and easy separation of the products for achieving the protocol of green chemistry.

Feasibility of destroying synthetic and actual leachate containing humic acids and ammonia compounds by supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) was evaluated. In this study, destruction efficiencies of humic acids and ammonia respectively were investigated at various reaction temperatures and residence times under pressure a supercritical pressure (280 atm). To lower reaction temperature, chemical oxidants were used. The experiment was carried out in a cylindrical batch reactor made of Hastelloy C-276 that can withstand high temperature and pressure. Concentrations of humic acids and ammonia were measured using a $COD_{Cr}$ method and an ammonia selective electrode, respectively. The optimal destructive condition of humic acids in the presence of stoichiometric oxygen(air) was 3 min at $380^{\circ}C$, but the temperature could be lowered to subcritical region ($360^{\circ}C$) along with $H_2O_2$ as an oxidant. For ammonia, the optimal destructive condition with air was 5 min at $660^{\circ}C$, but it was possible to operate the process for 3 minutes at $550^{\circ}C$ or 2 min at $600^{\circ}C$ along with $H_2O_2$ as an oxidant. At 2 min and $550^{\circ}C$ along with $H_2O_2$ as an oxidant, humic and ammonia compounds in the actual leachate were easily destructed and the effluent quality met the Korea Standard Leachate Quality.

To improve the understanding of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from the photo-oxidation of anthropogenic and biogenic precursors at the regional background station on Baengnyeong Island, Korea, gas phase and aerosol chemistries were investigated using the Proton Transfer Reaction Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer (PTR-ToF-MS) and the Aerodyne High Resolution Time of Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS), respectively. HR-ToF-AMS measured fine particles ($PM_1$; diameter of particle matter less than $1{\mu}m$) at a 6-minute time resolution from February to November 2012, while PTR-ToF-MS was deployed during an intensive period from September 21 to 29, 2012. The one-minute time-resolution and high mass resolution (up to $4000m{\Delta}m^{-1}$) data from the PTR-ToF-MS provided the basis for calculations of the concentrations of anthropogenic and biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) including oxygenated VOCs (OVOCs). The dominant BVOCs from the site are isoprene (0.23 ppb), dimethyl sulphide (DMS, 0.20 ppb), and monoterpenes (0.38 ppb). Toluene (0.45 ppb) and benzene (0.32 ppb) accounted for the majority of anthropogenic VOCs (AVOCs). OVOCs including acetone (3.98 ppb), acetaldehyde (2.67 ppb), acetic acid (1.68 ppb), and formic acid (2.24 ppb) were measured. The OVOCs comprise approximately 75% of total measured VOCs, suggesting the occurrence of strong oxidation processes and/or long-range transported at the site. A strong photochemical aging and oxidation of the atmospheric pollutants were also observed in aerosol measured by HR-ToF-AMS, whereby a high $f_{44}:f_{43}$ value is shown for organic aerosols (OAs); however, relatively low $f_{44}:f_{43}$ values were observed when high concentrations of BVOCs and AVOCs were available, providing evidence of the formation of SOA from VOC precursors at the site. Overall, the results of this study revealed several different SOA formation mechanisms, and new particle formation and particle growth events were identified using the powerful tools scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS), PTR-ToF-MS, and HR-ToF-AMS.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been recognized as major contributor to air pollution. Catalytic oxidation in VOCs can give high efficiency at low temperature. In this study, monometallic Pt, Ir and bimetallic Pt-Ir were supported to $TiO_2$. Xylene, toluene and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) were used as reactants. The monometallic or bimetallic catalysts were prepared by the excess wetness impregnation method and characterized by XRD, XPS and TEM analysis. Result reveal that Pt catalyst has higher conversion than Ir catalyst and Pt-Ir bimetallic catalysts. The existence of multipoint actives in, Pt-Ir bimetallic catalysts gives improved performance for the Pt metalstate. Bimetallic catalysts have higher conversion for VOCs than monometallic ones. The addition, VOCs oxidation follows first order kinetics. The addition of small amount of Ir to Pt promotes oxidation conversion of VOCs.

Graphite for the nuclear reactor is used to the moderator, reflector and supporter in which fuel rod inside of nuclear reactor. Recently, there are many researches has been performed on the various characteristics of nuclear graphite, however most of them are restricted to the structural and the mechanical properties. Therefore we focused on the thermal property of nuclear graphite. This study investigated the thermal emissivity following the oxidation degree of nuclear graphite with IG-11 used as a sample. IG-11 was oxidized to 6% and 11% in air at 5 l/min at $600^{\circ}C$. The porosity and thermal emissivity of the sample were measured using a mercury porosimeter and by an IR method, respectively. The thermal emissivity of an oxidized sample was measured at $100^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$, $300^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$. The porosity of the oxidized samples was found to increase as the oxidation degree increased. The thermal emissivity increased as the oxidation degree increased, and the thermal emissivity decreased as the measured temperature increased. It was confirmed that the thermal emissivity of oxidized IG-11 is correlated with the porosity of the sample.

In oxidized polyethylene wax preparation, the effects of main parameters such as the property of used wax, oxidation time, oxidation temperature, air feed rates on the change of acid-numbers were investigated. The change in polymer property was also investigated. The results showed under given reaction conditions, the acid numbers with oxidation temperature increased upto $160^{\circ}C$, but at higher temperature, it decreased. The base resin which was lower molecular weight had higher acid number. The result showed molecular weight as a experimental parameter was more effective than density in oxidation experiment. In milder condition, free radical initiator was used for catalyst to get higher acid-numbers, which was successful in comparison to the non-catalyst system. Also the catalyst with longer half-life was efficient, in order of DCPO, HOPO and BPO.

Fe-Cr steels are the most promising candidate for interconnect in solid oxide fuel cells. In this study, an effective, dense and well adherent (LaSr)(CrCo)$O_3$ [LSCC] coating layer was produced onto 430 stainless steel (STS-430) by atmospheric plasma spraying and the oxidation behavior as well as electrical properties of the LSCC coated STS-430 were investigated. A significant oxidation of pristine STS-430 occurred at $800^{\circ}C$ in air environment, leading to the formation of $Cr_2O_3$ and $FeCr_2O_4$ scale layer up to ${\sim}7{\mu}m$ after 1200h, and consequently increased an area specific resistance of $330\;m{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$. Although the plasma sprayed LSCC coating contained the characteristic pore network, the coated samples presented apparent advantages in reducing oxidation growth of STS-430, resulting a decrease in oxide scale thickness of ${\sim}1{\mu}m$ at $800^{\circ}C$ after 1200h. The area specific resistance of the LSCC coated STS-430 was much reduced to ${\sim}7\;m{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ after exposure at $800^{\circ}C$ for 1200h, compared to that of the pristine STS-403.

Low carbon steels containing Si of up to $1.2\;wt\%$ were oxidized in air at 1373 K and 1523 K, i.e. below and above the eutectic temperature of FeO and $Fe_2SiO_4$. The influence of a impurity element, S on behavior of scale formation during oxidation was investigated by using $M\"{o}chssbauer$ spectroscopy and EDS. This allowed establishment of an interface oxidation model of Si-added steel depending on temperature and an impurity element. A compound of FeO and FeS was formed in the scale/matrix interface of low carbon steels containing S of up to $0.03\;wt\%$ oxidized above 1213 K of the eutectic temperature. This was flat formed between $Fe_2SiO_4$ nodules along the scale/matrix interface without selective oxidation. It is due to low viscosity and high wettability of the compound of FeO and FeS in liquid. Conventional metallographic examinations revealed that roughness of the scale/matrix interface in Si-added steels became flat as the content of S increased. It was independent of oxidizing temperature and Si content. Effects of oxidizing temperature and an impurity element content on descaling characteristics in Si-added steels were evaluated by using a hydraulic descaling simulator. Good descaling characteristics was attributable to this flatness of the scale/matrix interface.

This study reviewed the effect of the drying conditions on the production of biogenic amines and lipid oxidation in semi-dried Pacific saury Cololabis saira or Guamegi. The moisture content of the Guamegi ranged from $32.71{\pm}2.37$ to $45.9{\pm}2.60$ g/100 g. The respective ranges of the acid value (AV) and peroxide value (POV) were $1.39{\pm}0.40$ to $15.79{\pm}0.47$ mg KOH/g and $76.14{\pm}2.19$ to $282.84{\pm}2.34$ meq/kg on drying for 3 days. The AV and POV increased for up to 3 days of drying and the values differed according to the amount of sunlight and temperature. However, lipid oxidation was reduced in Guamegi manufactured using a cold-air drying method. The fatty acid composition and the biogenic amine content in Guamegi during drying did not differ significantly with the drying method or drying date. The main saturated, monoene and polyene fatty acids were palmitic acid, eicosenoic & erucic acids, and eicosapentaenoic & docosahexaenoic acids, respectively. At 16.67 to 71.89 mg/kg, the histamine content was higher than that of other biogenic amines and it increased significantly during drying. In conclusion, this study showed that the packaging and drying conditions of Guamegi products need to be improved to inhibit lipid oxidation and biogenic amine formation.
