The generation of high purity hydrogen from reformed hydrocarbon fuels, or syngas, is essential for efficient operation of the fuel cell (PEMFC, Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell). Usually, major components of reformed gas are $H_2$, CO, $CO_2$ and $H_2O$. Especially a major component, CO poisons the electrode of fuel cells. The water gas shifter (WGS) that shifts CO to $CO_2$ and simultaneously produces $H_2$, was developed to a two stage catalytic conversion process involving a high temperature shifter (HTS) and a low temperature shifter (LTS). Also, experiments were carried out to reduce the carbon monoxide up to $3{\sim}4%$ in the HTS and lower than 5,000 ppm via the LTS.

Ionized cluster beam deposition (ICBD) technique has been employed to fabricate high-purity crystalline polyimide (PI) film. The pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and oxydianiline (ODA) were deposited using dual ICB sources, Fourier trans forminfraredspectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM)study show that the bulk and surface chemical properties and the crystalline structure are very sensitive to the ICBD conditions such as cluster ion acceleration voltage and ionization voltage, At optimum ICBD conditions, the PI films have a maximum imidization, negligible impurities(∼1% isoimide), and a good crystalline structure probably due to the high surface migration energy and surface cleaning effect. These characteristics are superior to those of films deposited by other techniques such as colvent cast, vapowr deposition, or sputtering techniques.

Undoped barium titanate ceramic samples with high density were produced by using both high purity hydro-thermally synthesized and oxalate-derived powders. Sintering temperature was varied in the temperature range 128$0^{\circ}C$-140$0^{\circ}C$ to control the average grain sizes of the samples. Electrical breakdown test was performed at two different temperature with 3$0^{\circ}C$(below Tc) and 15$0^{\circ}C$ (above Tc) for samples immersed in silicon oil bath using 60kV dc power supply. From the experimental results at below and above Curie temperature the grain size and thickness dependence of electrical breakdown strength for BaTiO3 ceramics was presented and breakdown behavior was also studied.

Compression creep of polycrystalline magnesia at about 1$600^{\circ}C$ under 5-40kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ was examined, and also the effects on it of minor additives such as B2O3, CaO and SiO2 were examined. The high temperature creep of high purity magnesia was primarily controlled by the Nabarro-Herring type lattice diffusion of Mg in magnesia. B2O3 was included in the molten state and showed on increasing B2O3 contents. Some of the CaO and SiO2 were also included in the molten state, promoted the grain boundary sliding, so that creep rate was increased with an increasing content of them.

ZnO crystals with belt and comb shapes were synthesized without any catalysts through a simple thermal oxidation of ZnS powder in alumina crucible under air atmosphere. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern revealed that the ZnO crystals had wurtzite structure of hexagonal phase. Energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectra showed that the ZnO was of high purity. In the cathodoluminescece spectra obtained for the ZnO crystals with belt and comb shapes, a strong ultraviolet emission centered at 380nm was observed, which indicates the ZnO crystal has high crystalline quality.

Nanotechnology is the creation and utilization of materials, devices, and systems through the control of matter on the nanometer-length scale, that is, at the level of atoms, molecules, and supramolecular structures. The essence of nanotechnology is the ability to work at these levels to generate larger structures with fundamentally new molecular organization. These nanostructures, made with building blocks understood from first principles, are the smallest human-made objects, and they exhibit novel physical, chemical, and biological properties and phenomena. The aim of nanotechnology is to learn to exploit these properties and efficiently manufacture and employ the structures. Control of matter on the nanoscale already plays an important role in scientific disciplines as diverse as physics, chemistry, materials science, biology, medicine, engineering, and computer simulation. This paper describes the superprecision nano separator to productive particle size of nano powder. this separator system is very important in the industrial area for other high technology parts.

The separation of rare earths minerals is very difficult because of their similar chemical properties. The rare earth minerals are used as the mixed rare earth minerals or the misch metal without separation to each element. However, the high purity rare earths are recently produced commercially to each element so they there are used as the materials for high tech. Based on the characterization results for the raw minerals, we have developed a combined process containing gravity seperation, magnetic seperation and flotation. The result obtained from this study is monazite concentration of TREO grade 69.11% and Recovery 56.02%.

Various fabrics, including natural fibers, regenerated cellulosic fibers, synthetic fibers, blend yarn, and mixture fabrics, were treated with the solutions of high purity chitosan in 1% acetic acid, having high viscosity of 930cps or low viscosity of 8cps. Physical/ mechanical properties of the treated fabrics samples were measured using Kawabata Evaluation System and drape tester. From these, hand values and total hand values of the fabric samples were calculated using Kawabata-Niwa translation equations. KOSHI, SHARI, HARI values have increased for the treated samples, while FUKURAMI values have decreased in general.

Simple procedures have been devised for purifying recombinant human interleukin-2 (hIL-2), which was expressed in Escberichia coli using sequences of glucagon molecules and enterokinase cleavage site as an N-terminus fusion partner. The insoluble aggregates of recombinant fusion protein produced in E. coli cytoplasm were easily dissolved by simple alkaline pH shift $(8\rightarrow12\rightarrow8)$. Following enterokinase cleavage, the recombinant hIL-2 was finally purified by one-step reversed-phase HPLC with high purity. The ease and high efficiency of this simple purification process seem to mainly result from the role of used glucagon fusion partner, which could be applied to the production of other therapeutically important proteins.

The phosphors of high luminous efficiency for PDP application must have high purity, single phase, and dense surface. In this work, the polymeric reaction was applied to preparation of spherical phosphor by aerosol pyrolysis in order to enhance mechanical and optical characteristics. The red phosphor of (Y,Gd)$BO_3$:Eu was prepared from polymeric precursor, in which citric acid and ethylene glycol were used as ion carriers, i.e monomers. For enhancing the luminescence intensity and mechanical characteristics. optimum synthesizing condition were investigated through concentration of monomers, synthetic temperature. doped activator concentrations, and annealing process. The phosphors synthesized with monomers showed quite different morphology from those without monomers. It was observed that polymeric precursor made an effect on particle formation mechanism and status of particles surface. The resultant spherical phosphors show the comparable luminescent properties to the commercial product (product by Nichia co.). Also, they were observed to have the rigid surface.
