The thermal degradation of carbon/phenolic composite have been studied at high temperature by using thermogravimetric (TGA). A heating .ate of 5, 10, 15, 30 and $50^{\circ}C/min$ was used for the determination of thermal decomposition parameters of composite materials at high-temperature service. It has been shown that as the heating rates is increased, the peak decomposition rates are occur at higher temperature. Based on results of thermogravimetric analysis, the pyrolysis process is analyzed and physical and mathematical models for the process are proposed. The thermal analysis also has been conducted using transient heat conduction and the in-depth temperature distribution and the density profile were evaluated along the solid rocket nozzle. As a future effort the thermal decomposition parameter determined in this investigation will be used as input to thermal and mechanical analysis when subjected to solid rocket propulsion environment.

This study was performed to investigate the behavior of chlorobenzenes (CIBZS) and chlorophenols (CIPhs) in a thermally treated MSWI fly ash. The experiment was carried out in a fixed bed reactor at the temperature range of 300~$600^{\circ}C$. Reaction time range was between 30 and 120 minutes, and NB and 02 gases were used as carrier gas. The decomposition rate of CIBZS was more affected by reaction time than by the reaction temperature. The decomposition rate of CIPhs was affected by both parameters. Decomposition rate of CIBZS and CIPhs reached 80.4% and 96.6% at $600^{\circ}C$, 120 min, respectively. Considering the effect of O2 content, decomposition rate of CIBZS and CIPhs was the highest at 10% of O2 content. Declorination and decomposition reactions Pere investigated by analyzing homologue distribution. Higher chlorinated CIBZS and CIPhs homologue decreased but lower chlorinated compounds increased with the increase of temperature. Effect of O2 on the homologue distribution of these compounds was not clear in the range of our experiment conditions.

The effect of diisocyanate type on the decomposition temperature of polyurethane (PU) hydrolysis was investigated in a subcritical water medium up to 250℃. PU samples were prepared using different types of diisocyanate: two aromatic diisocyanates (4,4'-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and methyl phenylene diisocyanate (TDI)), one unbranched aliphatic diisocyanate (hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI)), and two cyclic aliphatic diisocyanates (4,4'-methylene dicyclohexyl diisocyanate (H₁₂MDI) and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI)). The pressure had no effect on hydrolysis in the range of 70-250 bar. The decomposition temperature of the PU samples increased in the following order: TDI-PU (199℃) < H₁₂MDI ≈ IPDI ≈ HDI (218-220℃) < MDI-PU (237℃). This order of increase in temperature is related to the electron-donating ability of the group to connected to the nitrogen of the urethane unit. When the temperature of the (PU + water) mixture reached the specific decomposition temperature, the PU samples hydrolyzed completely within 5 min into primary amine and 1,4-butanediol. The hydrolysis products from MDI-PU and H₁₂MDI-PU were separated into a liquid phase rich in (BD + water) and a solid low phase rich in amine, whereas the products from TDI-, IPDI-, and HDI-PU existed in a single aqueous phase.

The droplet behavior of 83.9 wt.% HAN water solution was investigated experimentally with various ambient temperature and nitrogen environment. At the initial stage of evaporation under thermal decomposition temperature of HAN, gradual decreasing of droplet diameter was observed. After that, the droplet started to expand due to the internal pressure build up by water nucleation inside the droplet. The micro explosion was observed at higher temperature than the decomposition temperature of HAN and the remaining droplet showed similar behavior of single composition droplet. The decreasing rate was augmented as the ambient temperature increasing.

Composting facilities are operated with air and moisture control. Composting effects on two operating factors was analysed changing aeration rate with and without water addition to maintain the optimun moisture level. Though the composting facilties are provided with appropriate surroundings for compositing, operating temperature is set for decomposition rate. Accordingly control of decomposition phases was analysed by modeling the process of high and low decomposition phases with various operating temperature. A composting model of "The Library of Compost Engineering Software" developed by Roger T. Haug Inc. in U.S.A. was applied in modeling. As result of this study, operation with optimum moisture has more sensitive temperature to aeration fluctuation and lead to higher reaction rate with lower aeration than operation with poor moisture. Decomposition rate in composting facilities depend on slow decomposition phase because high rate decomposing substances already have been decomposed before entire process is not completed. In order to enhance decomposition rate of organics, effective decomposition in slow decomposition phase needs to be focused.

By using thermal decomposition method, the preliminary experiments for recovery of metallic Ga from GaAs scraps produced in the manufacturing of compound semiconductors were carried out in laboratory(200 g/batch) scales. From these results, decomposition appratus with packed tower was constructed in commercial scale(30 kg/batch). The decomposition rate of GaAs increased with raising decomposition temperature, but the yield of Ga decreased over 1000$^{\circ}C. As a result, the optimum decomposition temperature was 1000~1050$^{\circ}C when the pressure of decomposition reactor was 2~2.5${\times}10^{-2} mmHg, and the yield of Ga was about 89 wt.%. The commercial decomposition apparatus was designed with packed tower because the partial pressure of As in vapor state was not reduced even if the temperature of As vapor was decreased. The recovery yield of Ga from GaAs scraps in large scale experiment showed 99%.

The present investigation was estimated the effect of temperature, precipitatiion, and time on the decomposition of litters with litter bags of Pinus densiffora and Quercus mongolica at Gure where elevation in 50m, and at Nogodan where elevation in 1300m on Mt. Jiri. As the above results, decomposition model was proposed to relation of the environmental conditions. And was investigated the production and decomposition of litters from the stands of various forest communities in Kwangneung, Mt. Jiri and Mt. Halla. The results are as follows; The models for the decay of organic carbon (C) was as follows: $C=Coe^{-Kt}$ (limiting factor;time) $C=Coe^{-K'te}$ (limiting factor;tempedrature) $C=Coe^{-KnP}$ (limiting factor:precipitation) As observed in litter bag method, the decomposition rate of litter in Pinus densiflora was slower than that of Quercus mongolica. The higher elevation, the slower decomposition rate. The decomposition of litters at Gure where elevation in 50m was equally influenced by temperature and precipitation. But at Nogodan where elevation in 1300m was much inflenced by precipitation. The decay constant of litters was larger in hardwood forest than in coniferous forest. In the same species, the more elevatiion, the less decomposition constant. The time required for the decay of 50%, 95^, 99% of the accumulated litters in the forest floor were faster in hardwood forest than in coniferous forest. In the same species, the higher elevatiion, the longer time required.

In this work, the epoxy specimens were prepared from diglycidyl ether of bisphenol F (DGEBF) with silane coupling agents (3-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane (GPTMS)) in different ratios. Thermal stability was studied in terms of polymer decomposition temperature (PDT), temperature of maximum rate of weight loss ($T_{max}$), integral procedural decomposition temperature (IPDT), and decomposition activation energy ($E_a$) using TGA analysis. Adhesion properties of epoxy composite specimens were measured by UTM (universal testing machine) at atmosphere temperature. In this result, the adhesion properties of DGEBF were improved by addition of silane coupling agents compared to non-treated epoxy resin. However, when the content of GPTMS agent is more than 10 phr, adhesion properties decreased with increasing GPTMS agent.

Fluorinated compounds mainly used in the semiconductor industry are potent greenhouse gases. Recently, thermal plasma gas scrubbers have been gradually replacing conventional burn-wet type gas scrubbers which are based on the combustion of fossil fuels because high conversion efficiency and control of byproduct generation are achievable in chemically reactive high temperature thermal plasma. Chemical equilibrium composition at high temperature and numerical analysis on a complex thermal flow in the thermal plasma decomposition system are used to predict the process of thermal decomposition of fluorinated gas. In order to increase economic feasibility of the thermal plasma decomposition process, increase of thermal efficiency of the plasma torch and enhancement of gas mixing between the thermal plasma jet and waste gas are discussed. In addition, noble thermal plasma systems to be applied in the thermal plasma gas treatment are introduced in the present paper.

The effect of siloxane oligomer content on thermal stability and internal stress of DGEBA epoxy resin was investigated. Siloxane-epoxy polymers having terminal epoxy group were prepared by reaction of siloxane-DDM prepolymer with DGEBA epoxy resin. Thermal stability was studied in terms of the initial decomposition temperature(IDT), temperature of maximum rate of weight loss($T_{max}$), integral procedural decomposition temperature(IPDT), and decomposition activation energy($E_t$) using TGA data. The thermal stability increased with increasing the siloxane oligomer content and showed a maximum value in the case of 5 wt% siloxane oligomer content in the blend system. While, the coefficient of thermal expansion(${\alpha}_r$) and the flexural modulus($E_r$) allowed us to study internal stress of the blend system. As the content of siloxane oligomer increases, the internal stress systematically decreases as decreasing both ${\alpha}_r$ and $E_r$.
