Glass films in the binary system B2O3-SiO2 and Al2O3-SiO2 were prepared on soda-lime-silica slide glass by the dip-coating technique from TEOS and boric acid or aluminum nitrate. Thickness of the films varying with viscosity and withdrawal speed were measured and effect of composition and firing temperature on the properties such as transmittance and refractive index were investigated. nM2O3.(100-n)SiO2(M=B or Al) films containing up to 20mol% B2O3 and 40mol% Al2O3 were transparent. Maximum transmittance at visible range were obtained for the sample containing 15mol% Ba2O3 and 32.5mol% Al2O3 and heat-treated at 50$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. Refractive index of the film containing 15mol% B2O3 was mininum in the B2O3-SiO2 binary system and minimal refractive index was appeared at the film containing 32.5mol% Al2O3. In IP spectra, addition of B2O3 were increased absorption peak intensity of B-O and Si-O-B bond and addition of Al2O3 were decreased absorption peak intensity of Si-O bond, respectively.

CaO was added to the $MgAlCrO_4$ spinel, a main component of the mag-chro refractroies, by 0, 1, 5 and 10 mol% before sintering at 135$0^{\circ}C$ in air. The X-ray diffraction analysis produced an additional X-ray diffraction pattern of 8CaO.$6Al_2O_3$.$2CrO_3$ besides that of $MgAlCrO_4$. The formation of 8CaO.$6Al_2O_3$.$2CrO_3$ was interpreted as due to the presence of CaO.8CaO.$6Al_2O_3$.$2CrO_3$ was unstable and easily vaporized. It was concluded that formation of the unstable pollutant 8CaO.$6Al_2O_3$.$2CrO_3$ could be prevented in reducing atmospheres. It was found that the basic refractories containing $Al_2 O_3 -CaO-Cr_2 O_3$ system would be more stable and much less toxic in reducing at mospheres than in oxidizing stmosphere.

The effect of $Al_2O_3$ additives to $\beta-SiC+39vol.%ZrB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composites by pressureless sintering on microstructural, mechanical and electrical properties were investigated. The $\beta-SiC+39vol.%ZrB_2$ ceramic composites were pressureless sintered by adding 4, 8, 12wt.% $Al_2O_3$ powder as a liquid forming additives at $1950^{\cire}C$ 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_2O_3$, therefore, porosity was increased with increasing $Al_2O_3$ contents, and showed the maximum value of 1.4197MPa.$m^{1/2}$ for composite with 4wt.% $Al_2O_3$ additives. The electrical resistivity of $\beta-SiC+39vol.%ZrB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composite was increased with increasing $Al_2O_3$ contents, and showed positive temperature coefficient resistance (PTCR) in the temperature range of $25^{\cire}C$ to $700^{\cire}C$.

Dielectric and piezoelectric porperties of pseudoternary xPb(Al2/3W1/3)O3-(1-x)Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (x=1~10mol%) ceramic system have been investigated as a function of the amount of PAW[Pb(Al2/3W1/3)O3] and sintered from 110$0^{\circ}C$ to 120$0^{\circ}C$ for 1hr. As the amount of PAW increases, the c/a of tetragonal structure decreases. The grain size was reduced with increasing the amount of PAW addition. However, the density, dielectric constant and electromechanical coupling factor(kp) exhibited a maximum value at the amount of 5mol% PAW addition.

The catalytic activity of $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts for the oxidation of toluene and toluene+xylene mixture was investigated in the microreactor of fixed-bed type. The calcination temperatures and loadings of $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts played the important role in the activity of catalysts for the oxidation of toluene. The increasing calcination temperatures and loadings of $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts increased the crystallite size of the platinum to result in the higher oxidation activity of catalysts. The catalytic activity for the toluene oxidation over $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts turned out to be increasing in the order of $500^{\circ}C\;<\;800^{\circ}C<600^{\circ}C\;<\;700^{\circ}C$ for calcination temperatures and 0.1 wt% < 0.3 wt% < 1.0 wt% for platinum loadings, respectively. The 1.0 wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts calcined at $700^{\circ}C$ for 3 hrs in the air showed the highest activity for the oxidation of the toluene. The decrease of oxidation activity of $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts calcined at $800^{\circ}C$ might result from the decrease of active sites by sintering of platinum metals as well as ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ supports. The 1.0wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst showed the activity from the lower temperature at $120^{\circ}C$, reached the light-off temperature ($T_{50%}$) at $180^{\circ}C$, and leveled off its activity at $340^{\circ}C$ with the conversion of 100% 'Mutual promotion' effects were observed for the binary mixture of toluene and xylene. The activity of the easy-to-oxidize toluene was slightly increased with the existence of the xylene. It might suggest the different mechanism for the oxidation of toluene and xylene on the $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts on different sites, and its reaction of gaseous oxygen.

SiC whisker reinforced Al2O3-SiC composite was fabricated by reaction synthesis method whish is cost ef-fective and allows good dispersion of whiskers. Fracture strength at room temperature showed the highest value with 150$0^{\circ}C$ reaction temperature because a lot of SiC whiskers was formed. Fracture strength at 135$0^{\circ}C$ did not show big differences with reaction temperature due to agglomeration of whiskers and formation of sil-icon oxynitride during hot MO(modulus of rupture) test probably promoting grain boundary sliding.

Hydrogenolysis reactions of CFC-113a catalyzed by various heterogeneous catalysts $(Rh/Al_2O_3,\;Pd/C,\;Ni,\;Al_2O_3,\;Active\;carbon)$ were investigated in the liquid and gas phases. In the liquid phase reaction, different catalysts showed different activities, but all catalysts used gave high selectivities toward HCFC-123 over 95%. It was noticeable that the neutral $Al_2O_3$ showed both a high activity and a selectivity in the liquid phase reaction. In the gas phase reaction, transition metals on carbon(Pd/C, Pt/C) were so active for hydrogenolysis of CFC-113a that they even catalyzed the production reaction of overhydrogenated compounds such as $HCFC-133a(CF_3CH_2Cl)\;and\;HFC-143a(CF_3CH_3)$. $Al_2O_3$, which showed the high activity in the liquid phase reaction, did not show a remarkable activity. When $Al_2O_3$ was used in the liquid phase reaction, the hydrogenolysis of CFC-113a proceeded without any side products in THF. However, the same reaction in MeOH produced side products, such as $CH_3OCH_3\;and\;CH_3CH_2OCH_3$ from solvent. Based on this result, including heterogeneous catalysts, it was concluded that the solvent played an important role in the liquid phase reaction.

Aoolphane was treated with 30% Hydrochloric acid at $18^{\circ}C$ for two hows with stirring in order to obtain the insoluble form of SiO2 gel and to extract quantitatively both $Al_2O_3$as and $Fe_2O_3AlCl_3{\cdot}6H_2O Fe$ and $Cl_3{\cdot}6H_2O$ forms, respectively, at the same time. $SiO_2$ gel was filtered and to the filterate Ammonia was added to precipitate $Al(OH)_3[Fe(OH)_3 Contaminated ]$ The precipitate was separated by filteration and the filterate was recovered as the form of $NH_4Cl$. The precipitate was treated with 200g (NaOH)/l Concentration of NaOH a little excessively to the equivalent at $65~70^{\circ}C$ as $Fe(OH)_3$ formed was insoluble, it was filtered of and to the filterate containing $NaAl(OH)_4(OH_2)_2$Carbon dioxide gas was bubbled at $50^{\circ}C~90^{\circ}C$ to obtain the precipitate with excellent filterability and crystallinity. The product was certified to be Dawsonite $(NaAl(OH)_2CO_3)$ by X-Ray diffraction analysis at below $40^{\circ}C$, when $CO_2$ gas was bubbled into the relatively lower concentration of $NaAl(OH)_4(OH_2)_2$ solution, the precipitate of very fine particles was formed, which was hard to filter and with the Composition of $\alpha-Al_2O_3-H_2O$ (Boehmite).

To precipitate the complex gels of the pH 6, 7, 8, 9 included in a flux and an aluminum hydroxides gel, an aqueous solution of a mixture of $Na_2CO_3\;and\;Na_2PO_4{\cdot}12H_2O$ was added with stirring in an aqueous solution of a mixture of $Al_2(SO_4){_3}{\cdot}18H_2O,\;Na_2SO_4\;and\;K_2SO_4$, and then the complex gels were aged in 20 h at $90^{\circ}C$. As the hydrolysis pH changed, it had an effect on the physical properties such as the crystal structure, crystal morphology and a phase transition temperature of the AlO(OH) gel, and also on the crystal structure, crystal morphology, particle size and particle size distribution of the ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ platelets prepared by molten-salt precipitation. Also, in this study, the complex gels were crystallized at $1,200^{\circ}C$ and thereafter dried at $110^{\circ}C$, and then it was investigated to effect of the hydrolysis pH on the crystal structure, morphology and particle size distribution of the ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ platelets crystals using XRD, DTA, SEM and particle size analyzer.

Through alkaline hydrothermal activation processes, Na-A type zeolite was synthesized as a single phase with funnel-glass waste from a television tube factory. The autoclaving was performed in a closed teflon vessel in the range of 80~95$^{\circ}$C. The silica-rich solution as a starting material was hydrothermally synthesized with quartz in IN NaOH by heating 350uC under the pressure of 1,500 atm. $NaAlO_2$ was made from NaOH and Al(OHh by heating 95$^{\circ}$C for 2-3 hours and the molar ratios of it were $Na_2O/Al_2O_3$ = 1.4 and $H_2O/Na_2O$=8. The equi-dimensional A type zeolite (1-2 11) was formed by the simple mixing of the silica-rich solution, glass waste and $NaAlO_23$ for 1-3 hours-heating at $80^{\circ}C$. The characterization of the reaction product shows Na-A as a single phase. The synthesized zeolite has cuba-dodecahedral form and $Ca^{2+}$ ion exchange capacity of the Na-A was in the range of 215-220 mequiva1entilOO g.
