A novel polyacrylamide grafted hydrous ferric oxide adsorbent composite has been synthesized by using glow discharge electrolysis plasma. To optimize the synthesis conditions, the following parameters were examined in detail: applied power, discharge time, post polymerization temperature, post polymerization time, amount of crosslinking agent and hydrous ferric oxide gel added and so on. The adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The removal percentage of the adsorbent in Pb(II) solution was examined and the data obtained showed that the adsorbent composite has a high capacity for lead ion. For the use in wastewater treatment, the thermodynamic and kinetic of Pb(II)-capture were also studied. Results indicated that the adsorption reaction was a spontaneous and an endothermic process, and it seems to be obeyed a pseudo-secondorder rate model. Moreover, the adsorption isotherm of Pb(II)-capture is following the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models.

The lifetime of the electrode is one of the most important factors on the stability of the electrode. Since the lifetime of the DSA (Dimensionally stable anode) electrode is long, an accelerated lifetime test is required to reduce the test time. Beacuse there is no basis or standard method for accelerated lifetime testing, many researchers use different methods. Therefore, there is a need for basis and methods for accelerated lifetime testing that other researchers can follow. We designed a reactor system for accelerated lifetime testing and planned specific methods. Reactor system was circulating batch reactor. Reactor volume and cooling water tank were 12.5 L and 100 L, respectively. Electrode size was $2cm{\times}3cm$ (real electrolysis area, $5cm^2$). In order to maintain the harsh conditions, accelerated lifetime test was carried out in a high current density ($0.6A/cm^2$) and low electrolyte concentration (NaCl, 0.068 mol/L). Maintaining a constant temperature was an important operation parameter for exact accelerated lifetime test. As the accelerated lifetime test progressed, the active component of electrode surface was consumed and desorption occurred. At the point of 5 V rise, corrosion of the surface of the base material(titanium) also started.

Contact glow discharge electrolysis(CGDE) is an unconventional electrolysis where plasma is sustained by D.C. glow discharge between an electrode and the surface of electrolyte surrounding it at high voltage. In this study, the behavior of CGDE in NaCl solution and the depolymerization of fucoidan by CGDE were investigated. After onset of CGDE, increase of voltage enhanced Glow discharge which resulted in low current density and low temperature in NaCl electrolyte. From the variation of molecular weight of fucoidan with the reaction time, it was demonstrated that the degradation of fucoidan followed a first-order rate law. Molecular weight of fucoidan treated with CGDE was about 40 times lower compared to initial fucoidan without content decrease of sulfate and fucos.

The $La_{1-x}(Ca\;or\;Sr)xCrO_3$(x=0 and 0.25) interconnect materials for high temperature electrolysis of steam were investigated in views of sinterability and electrical conductivity. $LaCrO_3$, $La_{0.75}Ca_{0.25}CrO_3$ (LCC), and $La_{0.75}Sr_{0.25}CrO_3$ (LSC) powders were synthesized by coprecipitation method. Crystal structure was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The sintering characteristics were analyzed by relative density and scanning electron microscopy. The electrical conductivity was measured by a DC four probe method. From the analyses of relative densities, it was found that the doped $LaCrO_3$ showed better sinterability than $LaCrO_3$ and the those sinterability increased with decrease of those particle sizes. The XRD results at different sintering temperatures for LCC and LSC revealed that the sinterability is closely related to the second phase transformation, that is, the second phase melting above $1,300^{\circ}C$ for LCC and $1,400^{\circ}C$ for LSC significantly promotes the sinterability. In case of electrical conductivities of LCC and LSC, which had a similar relative density, LCC showed better electrical conductivity than LSC.

In this study, high-purity silver nanocolloids were synthesized by an electrolytic reaction, and the effect of temperature on the nanocolloid concentration was analyzed by performing the reaction at $70^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$. The antibacterial properties of the thus-synthesized silver nanocolloids were also studied. When the synthesis was performed at $90^{\circ}C$, the concentration of silver nanocolloid increased to 14 mg/L after 5 min, 1756 mg/L after 30 min, and 2147 mg/L after 60 min. The concentration of silver nanocolloid synthesized by electrolytic reaction at $70^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$ for 60 min was 1,882 mg/L and 2147 mg/L, respectively. The preferred temperature at which the electrolytic synthesis is performed is $70^{\circ}C$ to obtain high concentrations of 1,000 mg/L or more. The antibacterial performance of the thus-synthesized silver nanocolloids was 99.9% for E. coli and 99.5% for Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

The equivalence ratio is measured by LIBS(Laser-induced Breakdown spectroscopy) in hydrocarbon flame and high temperature (${\sim}3200^{\circ}C$) oxyhydrogen flame, where a stoichiometric mixture of hydrogen and oxygen is produced from water through electrolysis. The ratio of the hydrogen and oxygen (H/O) atomic lines intensities is used for quantitatively determining the quivalence ratio. laser energy is evaluated for determining the optimal condition for plasma diagnostics. The minimum laser energy for generating plasma in a laminar premixed hydrocarbon flame was about 70 mJ, whereas oxyhydrogen flame. consequently the irradiated spot of a lower density in high temperature oxyhydrogen flame gave rise to bigger plasma in size, thus limiting the spatial resolution of the LIBS measurement.

The electrochemical extraction of uranium in ternary low melting LiCl-KCl-CsCl eutectic on inert and reactive electrodes via different electrochemical techniques was investigated. It was established that the electrochemical reduction process of U(III) ions on the inert W electrode was irreversible and proceeded in one stage. On reactive liquid Ga and liquid Cd electrodes the reduction of uranium ions took place with the considerable depolarization with the formation of UGa₂, UGa₃ and UCd₁₁ intermetallic compounds. Thermodynamic characteristics of uranium compounds and alloys were calculated. The conditions for the extraction of uranium from the electrolyte in the form of alloys on both liquid reactive electrodes via potentiostatic electrolysis were found.

In this paper, we synthesized LSG powder by Modified-GNP method. Lanthanum, strontium and gallium (LSG) were selected in the preparation of an oxygen-electrode (anode) for High Temperature Steam Electrolysis system (HTSE). The used amount and concentration of nitric acid were varied to find out an appropriate composition for oxygen-electrode (anode). In order to optimize the molar ratio of La and Sr, ratio of La to Sr was varied that 2:8, 5:5 and 8:2. The combined LSGs were calcined for 2 hours at $700^{\circ}C$ and were sintered in a furnace for 4 hours at $1200^{\circ}C$. The phase and crystallinity of LSG powder were determined by XRD. The surface morphology was observed through SEM photograph, and the specific surface area was investigated with BET. The thermochemical property was determined by TG/DTA. The synthesized preparation was obtained of $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}GaO_{3}$ formula for 3M nitric acid, which was the best perovskite phase.
