Tomato fruits(Lycoperisicon esculentum) synthesize the glycoalkaloids dehydrotomatine and ${\alpha}$-tomatine, possibly as defense against bacteria, fungi and insects. We developed a new effective method to prepare and purify dehydrotomatine and ${\alpha}$-tomatine that exists in tomato fruits using alumina column chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The tomato glycoalkaloids(TGA) in tomato was extracted with 2% acetic acid, and then precipitated with ammonium hydroxide(pH=10.5). The dry precipitate substance was applied on alumina column, and then fractionated with water saturated n-butylalcohol. The TGA(Fr. No. 26~36) were collected and dried under reduced pressure. The TGA was performed on a reverse phase HPLC(Inertsil ODS-2, $5\;{\mu}m$), eluted with acetonitrile/20mM $KH_2PO_4$(24:76, v/v) at 208 nm. Two peaks were detected on HPLC, and individual peak was collected by repeating HPLC. Furthermore, to confirm the identity dehydrotomatine and ${\alpha}$-tomatine, each peak isolated was hydrolyzed with 1N HCl into sugar and aglycone tomatidine. The sugars were converted to trimethylsilyl ester derivatives. The nature and molar ratios of sugars were identified by gas-liquid chromatography(GLC) and the aglycone by high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). The first peak (Rt=17.5 min) eluted from HPLC was identified as dehydrotomatine, and second peak(Rt=21.0 min) was as ${\alpha}$-tomatine. This technique has been used effectively to prepare and isolate dehydrotomatine and ${\alpha}$-tomatine from tomato fruits.

세계적인 환경보호 추세에 발맞추어 단일 추진제 역시 강한 독성을 가지는 Hydrazine 대신 새로운 친환경 추진제를 찾으려는 노력이 계속되고 있다. 그 중 이온성 액체 추진제는 Hydrazine과 비교하여 낮은 독성, 높은 밀도, 그리고 높은 비추력을 가지고 있다. 이들 이온성 액체 추진제는 연소실 온도가 높아 감마 알루미나 등등의 촉매 지지체는 버틸 수가 없다. 따라서 고온에 안정적인 성능을 보이는 촉매가 필요하다. 바륨이 담지된 알루미나는 고온에서 Hexaaluminate로 변환될 수 있으며 그 열적 특성 또한 감마 알루미나보다 우수하다. 바륨이 담지된 알루미나에 백금을 올린 촉매의 특성을 알아보기 위해 $1300^{\circ}C$, $1400^{\circ}C$ 2시간 가열한 후 XRD, SEM, EDS, BET와 Drop test를 진행하였다.

The use of dolomite refractories has increased during the past several years in the manufacturing of clean steel during the stainless steelmaking process. However, at the same time, the use of dolomite refractories has led to what is known as the skull formation. In the present work, to understand the skull formation, the wetting characteristics of dolomite substrates by liquid Fe-19wt%Cr-10wt%Ni alloys in various oxygen partial pressures were initially investigated at 1753K using the sessile drop technique. For comparison, the wetting characteristics of alumina substrates were investigated with the same technique. It was found that the wetting index, (1+$cos{\theta}$), of dolomite is approximately 40% higher compared to those of alumina. In addition, the oxygen partial pressure to generate the surface oxide, which may capture the liquid metal on the refractory surface, for dolomite is much lower than that for alumina. From this study, it was concluded that the use of dolomite is much more closely associated with the skull formation compared to the use of alumina due to the stronger wettability and the surface oxide formation at a lower oxygen partial pressure of dolomite.

Hydroxylammonium nitrate (HAN) 기반 액상 추진제는 발암물질이 아니며 연소가스 또한 독성이 거의 없어서 환경 친화적인 추진제로 주목을 받고 있다. 추력기에서 HAN 기반 액체추진제를 분해하는데 사용되는 촉매는 저온 활성 및 고내열성을 동시에 보유하고 있어야 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 metal foam 표면에 alumina slurry를 wash coating 방법으로 담지한 후, 루테늄(ruthenium) 전구체를 그 위에 담지하여 Ru/alumina/metal foam 촉매를 제조하고, 이 촉매의 HAN 수용액 분해 활성을 평가하는 것이다. Wash coating 방법으로 metal foam 지지체에 알루미나를 담지시키는 과정에서 wash coating 반복 횟수가 alumina/metal foam의 물리적 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 알루미나 wash coating 횟수가 증가할수록 약 7 nm의 직경을 갖는 메조기공이 지속적으로 발달하여 표면적과 기공 부피가 증가하는데, metal foam에 알루미나를 코팅하는 과정을 12 회 반복하는 것이 최적이라고 판단하였다. 이 지지체에 Ru을 담지한 Ru/alumina/metal foam 촉매의 표면에도 메조기공이 잘 발달하였다. 활성금속과 알루미나를 담지하지 않은 metal foam 자체만으로도 HAN 수용액의 분해반응을 촉진할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. Ru/alumina/metal foam-550촉매의 경우는 열분해 반응에 비해서 분해개시온도를 큰 폭으로 낮추었고, ${\Delta}P$를 크게 증가시킬 수 있어서, HAN 수용액 분해 반응에서 우수한 활성을 보였다. 그러나 이 촉매를 $1,200^{\circ}C$에서 소성하면 반응 활성이 저하되는데 이는 촉매의 표면적과 기공 부피가 급격하게 감소하고 Ru이 소결되기 때문이다. 추가적인 연구를 통해서 Ru/alumina/metal foam의 내열성을 개선할 필요성이 있다.

Porous ${\eta}-Al_2O_3$ was synthesized by modified sol-gel method using ionic liquid as a templating material. The addition of ionic liquid assisted to increase the surface area of alumina. However, the acidity of aluminas prepared with ionic liquids was hardly affected regardless the change of its structural properties. Among the ionic liquids used in this study, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Bmim][$PF_6$]) was the most effective ionic liquid to produce porous ${\eta}-Al_2O_3$ particles. The catalytic performance of these aluminas has been investigated in dehydration of methanol to produce dimethyl ether. The alumina prepared with [Bmim][$PF_6$] outperformed the other aluminas except ${\eta}-Al_2O_3$ without modification in this reaction.

A simple and reproducible pretreatment method was developed for the determination of dioxins in milk sample. Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) was used for the initial extraction of the analyte from milk. For the elimination of interferences coextracted from milk, acid treatment followed by multilayer silica gel, and then alumina column clean-up were performed. The clean extract could be obtained without carbon column or high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) clean-up procedure. Polychlorinated biphenyles (PCBs) and dioxins were separated on neutral alumina activated at 180 ℃ for 12 hours. The final extract was analyzed by HPLC and high resolution gas chromatography/high resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC/HRMS). The recovery of dioxins spiked in milk at 75-300 ppt level was 83.3-98.9% and their relative standard deviation was 4.1-14%.

Alumina microfibers with porous structures were prepared through hydrothermal reaction, and then used to modify the surface of carbon paste electrode (CPE). After modification with alumina microfibers, the electrochemical activity of CPE was found to be greatly improved. On the surface of alumina microfibers-modified CPE, the oxidation peak current of salvianolic acid B, a main bioactive compound in Danshen with anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects, was remarkably increased compared with that on the bare CPE surface. The influences of pH value, amount of alumina microfibers and accumulation time were studied. Based on the strong signal amplification effects of alumina microfibers, a novel electrochemical method was developed for the detection of salvianolic acid B. The linear range was from 5 ${\mu}gL^{-1}$ to 0.3 mg $L^{-1}$, and the detection limit was 2 ${\mu}gL^{-1}$ (2.78 nM) after 1-min accumulation. The new method was successfully used to detect salvianolic acid B in ShuangDan oral liquid samples, and the recovery was over the range from 97.4% to 102.9%.

Etching of an ultrathin aluminum oxide film on NiAl(110) substrate by methanol is studied by home-built scanning tunneling microscopy at room-temperature. We deposited liquid methanol on thin alumina film by using a high speed solenoid valve suitable for deposition of thermally unstable molecules. It is found that only the reflection domain boundary between two domains was preferentially etched by methanol. Since the reflection domain boundary has many oxygen vacancies and irregular structures, judging from the fact, we assume that oxygen vacancies cause the chemically reactive phenomena of methanol in reflection domain boundary on an alumina film. The reactivity of the reflection domain boundary is attributed to the oxygen vacancies due to irregular structures. Similar reactivity is found on the oxygen deficient alumina produced on top of the intact alumina.
