내경 2.8cm, 높이 65cm의 반응관을 이용하여 1000∼1400 K에서 산소-질소 혼합 가스류 중을 낙하하는 동정광 입자의 1차원 비등온 산화반응의 초기거동에 대하여 검토하였다. 동 정광은 반응관을 낙하하면서 매우 빠르게 산화 용융되었다. 입자 온도는 미 반응핵 모델과 가스-입자간의 물질전달 및 가스-입자-관벽 사이의 열전달을 조합하여 계산하였다. 계산에 의한 입자 온도는 반응관 상단에서 20∼30cm의 위치에서 최고온도에 도달하였으며, 고 산소분압에서는 약 1700 K에 도달하였다. 산소분압이 0.2 atm 이상인 경우 대부분의 입자는 용융되었다.

In this study, in order to analyze the low-temperature sintering process of silver and copper nanoparticles, we calculate their melting temperatures and surface melting temperatures with respect to particle size. For this calculation, we introduce the concept of mean-squared displacement of the atom proposed by Shi (1994). Using a parameter defined by the vibrational component of melting entropy, we readily obtained the surface and bulk melting temperatures of copper and silver nanoparticles. We also calculated the absorption cross-section of nanoparticles for variation in the wavelength of light. By using the calculated absorption cross-section of the nanoparticles at the melting temperature, we obtained the laser threshold energy for the sintering process with respect to particle size and wavelength of laser. We found that the absorption cross-section of silver nanoparticles has a resonant peak at a wavelength of close to 350 nm, yielding the lowest threshold energy. We calculated the intensity distribution around the nanoparticles using the finite-difference time-domain method and confirmed the resonant excitation of silver nanoparticles near the wavelength of the resonant peak.

현재 비철제련분야에서의 제련후 폐기물은 약 200만톤 이상으로 추산되고 있다. 현재까지는 비철금속을 추출하는 연구가 주를 이루고 있으며, 금속 추출 후 슬래그의 활용에 대한 연구는 미비한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 동제련 분야에서 발생된 슬래그를 콘크리트용 골재로 사용하기 위해 동제련 슬래그의 입도분포와 잔골재로 사용된 강사의 대체 치환율 변화를 실험인자로 선정하여, 굳지 않은 모르타르의 특성을 평가하였다. 실험결과, 동제련 슬래그의 입도분포에 따라 플로우, 공기량 및 건조수축의 변화를 참조하여 동제련 슬래그의 적정입도분포를 산정하는 것이 중요함을 확인하였으며, 동제련 슬래그를 잔골재로 치환함으로 인해 응결 및 단위용적질량은 증가하는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 강사와 유사한 입도분포를 갖는 동제련 슬래그를 사용하였을 경우에는 강사를 사용한 경우보다 슬럼프, 공기량, 응결 및 건조수축, 단위용적 질량이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 동제련 슬래그를 콘크리트용으로 사용하기 위해서는 적정 입도분포와 치환율이 산정되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

항공기 엔진 배기노즐 표면으로부터 적외선 방사를 낮추기 위한 연구의 일환으로 스테인리스 스틸 표면을 구리입자/메타 아라미드 수지 복합재료로 도포하여 $320^{\circ}C$에서 적외선 방사율을 측정하였다. 일반적인 충전제 입자 바인더 합성수지의 경우 $300^{\circ}C$이전에서 대부분 열분해를 일으키지만 메타 아라미드 수지는 $320^{\circ}C$에서도 열안정성을 보여 구리입자 분산 내열성 매트릭스 수지로 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 첨가한 구리입자 함량은 부피기준으로 0 ~ 70% 까지 변화시켰다. 구리입자/메타아라미드 복합재료 수지로 도포된 시편은 $320^{\circ}C$에서 적외선 방사율 측정 실험 후에 접착력이 우수하였다. 그리고 구리입자 함량이 부피 기준으로 50%인 구리입자/메타 아라미드 수지를 도포함으로써 시편의 $320^{\circ}C$ 적외선 방사율을 0.6 까지 낮출 수 있었다.

Ecosystems in the Keweenaw Peninsula region of Lake Superior, USA, were disturbed by over 500 million tons of copper-rich mine tailings during the period 1850-1968. Metals leaching from these mine residues have had dramatic effects on the ecosystems. Vast acreages of exposed tailings that are over 100 years old remain unvegetated because of the combination of metal toxicity, absence of nutrients, and temperature and water stress. Therefore, it is important to characterize and fractionate solid copper phases for assessing labile forms of copper in soils and sediments contaminated by the mining wastes. X-ray diffraction analyses indicate that calcite, quartz, hematite, orthoclase, and sanidine minerals are present as major minerals, whereas cuprite,tenorite, malachite, and chalcopyrite might be present as copper minerals in the mining wastes. Sequential extraction technique revealed that carbonate and oxide fractions were the largest pools of copper (ca. 50-80%) in lakeshore and wetland stamp sands whereas the organic matter fraction was the largest reservoir (ca. 32%) in the lake sediments. The concentrations of iron and copper were inversely correlated in the oxide fraction suggesting that copper may occur as a surface coating on iron oxides. As particle size and water contents decrease, the percent of the copper bound to the labile carbonate fraction increases.

Sand Compaction Pile(SCP) is a soil improvement method that a sand charge is introduced into the pipe, and the pipe is withdrawn part away while the sand pile is compacted and its diameter is enlarged. The sand used in this method should be of good quality. In Korea, crushed stone and washed sea sand are used frequently in SCP. However, use of these materials is restricted because of environmental problem and deficiency of supply. In the copper smelting process, about 0.7 million tons of copper slag are produced in Korea. The range of particle size distribution of copper slag is from 0.15mm to 5mm, so it can be a substitute for sand, and the relatively high specific gravity compared with the sand, is its characteristic. Copper slag is hyaline and so stable environmentally that in foreign country, such as Japan, Germany etc., it is widely used in harbor, revetment and offshore structure construction works. Therefore, in this study, the several laboratory tests were peformed to evaluate the applicability of copper slag as a substitute for sand of SCP. From the mechanical property test, the characteristics of sand and copper slag were compared and analyzed, and from laboratory model test, the strength of composite ground was compared and analyzed by monitoring the stress and ground settlement of clay, SCP and copper slag compaction pile. Specially, this study focused on the application of copper slag as sand substitute in SCP pilot tests based on laboratory tests results.

The major concern in the deep geological disposal of spent nuclear fuels include sulfide-induced corrosion and stress corrosion cracking of copper canisters. Sulfur diffusion into copper canisters may induce copper embrittlement by causing Cu₂S particle formation along grain boundaries; these sulfide particles can act as crack initiation sites and eventually cause embrittlement. To prevent the formation of Cu₂S along grain boundaries and sulfur-induced copper embrittlement, copper alloys are designed in this study. Alloying elements that can act as chemical anchors to suppress sulfur diffusion and the formation of Cu₂S along grain boundaries are investigated based on the understanding of the microscopic mechanism of sulfur diffusion and Cu₂S precipitation along grain boundaries. Copper alloy ingots are experimentally manufactured to validate the alloying elements. Microstructural analysis using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy demonstrates that Cu₂S particles are not formed at grain boundaries but randomly distributed within grains in all the vacuum arc-melted Cu alloys (Cu-Si, Cu-Ag, and Cu-Zr). Further studies will be conducted to evaluate the mechanical and corrosion properties of the developed Cu alloys.

Models based on diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) have been extensively used to explore the mechanisms of dendritic particle aggregation phenomena. The physical and chemical properties of systems in which DLA aggregates emerge are given in their fractal. In this paper, we present a comprehensive study of the growth of electrodeposited copper dendrites in flat plate electrochemical cells from a fractal perspective. The effects of growth time, applied voltage, copper ion concentration, and electrolyte acidity on the morphology and fractal dimension of deposited copper were examined. 'Phase diagram' set out the variety of electrodeposited copper fractal morphology analysed by metallographic microscopy. The box counting method confirms that the electrodeposited dendritic structures manifestly exhibit fractal character. It was found that with the increase of the voltage and copper ion concentration. The fractal copper size becomes larger and its morphology shifts towards a dendritic structure, with the fractal dimension fluctuating around 1.60-1.70. In addition, the morphology of the deposited copper is significantly affected by the acidity of the electrolyte. The increase in acidity from 0.01 to 1.00 mol/L intensifies the hydrogen precipitation side reactions and the overflow path of hydrogen bubbles affects the fractal growth of copper dendrites.

Ultra-fine Copper powder for a conductive paste in electric-electronic field have been synthesized by chemical reduction of aqueous $CuSO_4$ with hydrazine hydrate $(N_2H_4{\cdot}H_2O)$ as a reductor. The effect of reaction conditions such as dispersant and reaction temperature on the particle size and shape for the prepared Cu powders was investigated by means of XRD, SEM, TEM and TGA. Experiments showed that type of dispersant and reaction temperature were affected on the particle size and morphology of the copper powder. When the carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was added as a dispersant the relative mono-dispersed and spherical Cu powder was obtained. Cu powders with particle size of approximately 140nm and narrow particle size distribution were obtained from 0.3M $CuSO_4$ with adding of 0.03M CMC and 40ml $N_2H_4{\cdot}H_2O$ at a reaction temperature of $70^{\circ}C$.

In this study, we designed a 'spark in liquid' system. The spark discharge between two electrodes were used to generate particles by using sufficient temperature to evaporate a part of electrodes. The power supply system provides a continuous spark discharge by discharging of the capacitor to ionize the electrodes in liquid. The DC spark discharge system operates with 1-10 kV voltage. Processed copper and graphite rods were used to both electrodes with 1-3 mm diameter. There are several variables which can control the particle size and concentration such as gap distance between electrodes, applied voltage, operating liquid temperature, electrode type and liquid type. So we controlled these variables to confirm the change of particle size distribution and concentration of particles contained in liquid as wt%. 'spark in liquid' system is expected to apply nanoink by control of concentration with analysis of characteristics.
