The concentrations of gaseous ammonia and particulate ammonium emitted from a urea plan were measured, and the conversion rate of ammonia to ammonium was estimated. The conversion of ammonia to ammonium has two stages with transport time in the atmosphere. In the initial 15min the conversion rate was 3.2% min$^{-1}$, and thereafter 0.26% min$^{-1}$. The high conversion rate of ammonia to ammonium at the initial period of it's transport might be due to the dissolution of ammonia into water droplets formed by the decrease in temperature of the stack effluent. The concentration of ammonium is further increased by the decomposition of urea in alkaline droplet formed. Half-lives of ammonia gas at initial and latter slag were 16 min and 192 min respectively. No correlation of particulate ammonium concentration to temperature, relative humidity, and concentrations of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and airborne particulate matter were found in this field measurement.

Mullitization in a multicomponent oxide system(alumina-kaolin-quartz-feldspar-talc) was studied as a function of sintering temperature from 1200 to 1500$^{\circ}C$ based upon a quantitative X-ray diffraction analysis. In the present study mullite grew as wiskers and its formation reaction showed characteristic there stages as follows In the first stage(1255-1295$^{\circ}C$) an appreciable mullitization(nucleation) occurred while corun-dum dissolution into glass (increasing glass content ) limited the rate of the reaction. At 1295-1335$^{\circ}C$ (second state) the reaction was significantly enhanced with a considerable glass consumption and with no appreciable change in corundum content. Finally (above 1335$^{\circ}C$) the reaction rate was attenuated re-markably with an apparent decrease in glass consumption rate. The impingement of mullite whiskers by oth-er whiskers and crystals was speculated to cause mullite growth in thickness direction with a slow growth rate resulting in the diminished reaction rate in the final stage.

SiC hollow fiber was fabricated by curing, dissolution and sintering of Al-PCS fiber, which was melt spun the polyaluminocarbosilane. Al-PCS fiber was thermally oxidized and dissolved in toluene to remove the unoxidized area, the core of the cured fiber. The wall thickness ($t_{wall}$) of Al-PCS fiber was monotonically increased with an increasing oxidation curing time. The Al-PCS hollow fiber was heat-treated at the temperature between 1200 and $2000^{\circ}C$ to make a SiC hollow fibers having porous structure on the fiber wall. The pore size of the fiber wall was increased with the sintering temperature due to the decomposition of the amorphous $SiC_xO_y$ matrix and the growth of ${\beta}$-SiC in the matrix. At $1400^{\circ}C$, a nano porous wall with a high specific surface area was obtained. However, nano pores grew with the grain growth after the thermal decomposition of the amorphous matrix. This type of SiC hollow fibers are expected to be used as a substrate for a gas separation membrane.

The AOPs research defined by creating a sufficient amount of OH radicals from the dissolution of organic materials through photoxidation and research for a complete elimination of residual organic materials by membrane are actively ongoing. This research focuses on the hybrid processing of AOPs and M/F membrane to dissolve and eliminate organic chemicals in drinking water which are suspected of carcinogens. For this purpose, underground water was used as a source of drinking water for the hybrid processing of AOPs oxidation and M/F membrane, and a pilot plant test device was installed indoor. Carcinogenic chemicals of VOCs and pesticide were artificially mixed with the drinking water, which was then diluted close to natural water in order to examine treatment efficiency and draw optimal operation conditions. The samples used for this experiment include four chemicals phenol, chloroform, in VOCs and parathion, carbaryl in pesticide. As a result of the experiments conducted with simple, and compound solutions, the conditions to sufficiently dissolve and eliminate carcinogenic chemicals from the hybrid processing of where carcinogens were artificially added are : (hydrogen peroxide) prescribed solution 100 mg/L under pH 5.5~6.0, and the temperature $12{\sim}16^{\circ}C$, at the normal temperature and pressure. $d-O_3$ volume of 5.0 ppm and above and 30-40 minutes of reaction time are most appropriate and using MF/UF for membrane was ideal.

Fundamental studies for the synthesis of Mn-Zn ferrite powder were investigated using a series of leaching and coprecipitation processes from spent alkaline manganese batteries. Zinc and Manganese dissolution rates obtained at the reaction conditions of 100g/L pulp density, 3.0M $H_2SO_4$, $60^{\circ}C$ and 200 rpm with 30 ml $H_2O_2$ as a reducing agent were more than 97.9% and 93.9% and coprecipitation of Mn-Zn ferrite powder was performed according to various reaction conditions such as temperature, time and amount of $O_2$ gas injection using the leaching solution. As a result of coprecipitation, Mn-Zn ferrite could be synthesized directly at low temperature in the reaction condition pH 12, $80^{\circ}C$, $O_2$ 1.3 L/min. and 400 rpm. The synthesized Mn-Zn ferrite powder was spherical powder of $0.143{\mu}m$ particle size and had a saturation magnetization about 80 emu/g.

This study was carried out to investigate the solubility of vanadium in ammoniacal solution and precipitation of $NH_4VO_3$ as a function of temperature and addition of ammonia salt. Higher solution temperature is required to get high solubility of vanadium and the vanadium concentration of solution was 16.8g/L at $90^{\circ}C$ with the solution of 20 g/L $(NH_4)_2CO_3$ and 2.5M $NH_4OH$. From this solution, vanadium could be precipitated up to 99.8% with adding 20 g/L $NH_4Cl$, 72 hours settling time at $25^{\circ}C$.

The display that provides information to us through the visual sense is a very important information transmission means by intuitively transmitting information, and the liquid crystal display (LCD) is the most widely used information transmission display. In this paper, we studied solvent assisted micromolding as an alternative for the rubbing that is essential to align the liquid crystals in LCD and successfully aligned the liquid crystal molecules by constructing the nanostructures on conventional polyimide alignment layer. When generating the nanostructures on the polyimide film, there was a competitive correlation between the dissolution effect of the polymer by the solvent and the capillary effect of the polyimide molecules into the nanostructures of the mold depending on the process temperature. It was possible to form nanostructures with high step by deriving the optimum temperature. These nanostructures were able to align the liquid crystal molecules uniformly and demonstrated that they could form a desirable pretilt angle.

Cyclic Voltammetry and weight loss measurements were used to investigate corrosion prevention of tin in a 0.5M citric acid solution containing Anthocyanins extracted from grapes at various concentrations and temperatures. Results showed that the investigated chemicals, Anthocyanins extracted from grapes, performed well as tin corrosion inhibitors in 0.5M citric acid. Increasing the concentration of Anthocyanins increased their corrosion inhibition efficiencies. When the temperature dropped, their inhibition efficiencies, increased indicating that higher temperature tin dissolution predominated the adsorption of Anthocyanins at the surface of tin metal. When inhibitor concentrations were increased, their inhibition efficiencies were also increased. These results revealed that corrosion of tin metal was inhibited by a mixed type of adsorption on the metal surface. The adsorption isotherm of Langmuir governed the adsorption of Anthocyanins. Thermodynamic parameters such as the enthalpy of adsorption, the entropy of adsorption, and Gibbs free energy and kinetic parameters such as activation energy, enthalpy of activation, and entropy of activation were computed and discussed in this study.

Titanate nanotubes (TNTs) were synthesized via alkaline hydrothermal treatment using commercial TiO₂ nanoparticles (P25). The TNTs were prepared at various TiO₂/NaOH ratios, hydrothermal temperatures, and hydrothermal times. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, N₂ adsorption-desorption isotherms, field-emission transmission electron microscopy, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. TNTs were generated upon a decrease in the TiO₂/NaOH ratio due to the dissolution of TiO₂ in the alkaline solution and the generation of new Ti-O-Ti bonds to form titanate nanoplates and nanotubes. The hydrothermal treatment temperature and time were important factors for promoting the nucleation and growth of TNTs. The TNT catalyst with the largest surface area (389.32 m² g^-1) was obtained with a TiO₂/NaOH ratio of 0.25, a hydrothermal treatment temperature of 130 ℃, and a hydrothermal treatment time of 36 h. Additionally, we investigated the photocatalytic activity of methyl violet 2B (MV) over the TNT catalysts under UV irradiation and found that the degradation efficiencies of the TNTs were higher than that of P25. Among the TNT catalysts, the TNT catalyst that was hydrothermally synthesized for 36 h (TNT 36 h) exhibited a 96.9% degradation efficiency and a degradation rate constant that was 4.8 times higher than P25 due to its large surface area, which allowed for more contact between the MV molecules and TNT surfaces and facilitated rapid electron transfer. Finally, these results were correlated with the specific surface area.

[ $MnO_2$ ]-Coated Sand(MCS) was prepared with variation of coating temperature, coating time, and dosage of initial Fe(III) with two kinds of sands such as Joomoonjin and quartz sand. An optimum condition for the preparation MCS was determined from the coating efficiency as well as the oxidation efficiency of As(III). Coating efficiency of Mn was strongly dependent on the coating temperature but quite similar over the investigated coating time, showing an increased coating efficiency at higher coating temperature. In contrast to coating efficiency, the oxidation efficiency of As(III) by MCS was severely reduced as increase of coaling temperature. By considering these results, an optimum coating temperature and time for the preparation of MCS was selected as $150^{\circ}C$ and 1-hr, respectively. Coating efficiency increased as the dosage of initial Mn(II) increased, while As(III) oxidation was maximum at 0.8 Mn(II) mol/kg sand. The solution pH was identified as an important parameter affecting stability of MCS, and dissolution of Mn from MCS increased as pH decreased. Oxidation rate of As(III) increased as the dosage of MCS increased as well as solution pH decreased.
