산화 무기화합물 및 탄소흡착제와 음이온교환수지를 이용하여 폐수 중의 중금속이온을 분리, 제거하는 특성에 대해 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 DT사에서 제조된 산화 무기화합물인 DT-30, 음이온 교환수지인 DT-60, 탄소화합물로써 DT-80, DT-90을 이용하여 코발트(Cobalt)이온, 세슘(Cesium)이온 및 요오드(Iodide)이온의 평형 분리특성 및 이온교환 탑에서 연속 실험 시 분리특성에 대하여 연구하였다. 그 결과 DT-30은 세슘, DT-80, DT-90은 코발트, DT-60은 요오드에 대해서 우수한 분리특성을 나타내었다. 평형 실험에서 DT-30은 세슘에 대해 온도 증가에 따라 흡착량의 미세한 증가를 보였고, pH변화에 따라 흡착량이 크게 변화되었다. DT-80도 코발트에 대해 pH에 따라 평형 흡착량이 변화하였으나 온도의 변화에는 거의 영향을 받지 않았다. DT-60의 요오드 이온에 대한 평형 흡착량은 pH 또는 온도 변화에 영향을 거의 받지 않았다. 이온교환 탑을 이용하여 연속적으로 중금속 함유 용액을 통과시키면서 실험한 결과에서도 DT-30의 세슘, DT-90의 코발트, DT-60의 요오드에 대한 분리 특성이 좋은 것이 관찰되었다. 이 경우 DT-30의 세슘에 대한 분리특성 및 DT-60의 요오드에 대한 분리특성이 DT-90의 코발트에 대한 분리특성보다 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 이온분리특성에 미치는 불순물의 영향에 대한 조사에서 DT-90은 계면활성제나 오일 등의 불순물에 의해 큰 영향을 받지 않았으나 DT-30은 계면활성제, 오일 등의 존재에 의해 이온분리성능이 크게 저하되었고 DT-60도 계면활성제의 영향을 크게 받는 것으로 관찰되어서 불순물을 전처리 공정에서 제거하는 것이 매우 중요한 것으로 나타났다.

Shihwa tidal freshwater marsh was constructed recently to treat pollutants entering Shihwa lake. In this study, we examined the spatial and temporal patterns of heavy metal accumulation in soils of Shihwa marsh and sought correlations between several soil variables (pH, electrical conductivity, organic matter, and acid ammonium oxalate-extractable Fe and Al contents) and the heavy metal concentration of soils. Surface soil samples (0∼20 cm) were collected in June 2000, November 2000, and July 2001, and were analyzed for heavy metals (Zn, Cd, Pb, Cu, Cr, As, and Hg) and soil chemical properties. The neutral pH and water-saturated conditions of Shihwa marsh appeared to favor immobilization of heavy metal through adsorption onto soils. The concentrations of heavy metal (especially Zn, Cu, and Cr) in soils of Shihwa marsh increased along the sampling occasions, suggesting that soils of Shihwa marsh serve as a sink of heavy metal. Among the sub-marshes, metal concentrations were highest in Banweol high marshes and lowest in Samhwa marshes. The temporal and spatial variations in the heavy metal concentrations of soils were correlated positively with organic matter and oxalate extractable Fe and Al contents, but negatively with electrical conductivity. These results suggest that organic matter and hydrous oxide of Fe/Al may playa key role in removing heavy metals in soils of Shihwa marsh, and that heavy metal removing capacity would increase with desalinization. However, the removal patterns of heavy metal by reeds warrant further studies to evaluate the total removal capacity of heavy metals by Shihwa marsh.

The strategy of recovering metals from scrap is in general much different from primary sources. One of the main differences between the treatment of scrap and that of primary sources lies with the fact that metals are frequently associated with other met-als to form alloys in scrap, while metals occur in primary sources as oxides or sulfides. In this paper, factors affecting the dis-solution behavior of metals from various alloy systems have been reviewed and discussed. Specific examples have been drawn from Au/Ag, Au/cu and Ag/cu systems. Results of the dissolution behavior of various metals from these alloys have been reviewed and compared to the dissolution behavior of single metal systems in various lixiviants such as acids, cyanide and ammonia. It has been observed that the presence of other metals in alloys would significantly affect the dissolution rate of the metal in question. The leaching behavior of metals from homogeneous alloys relies on the chemical interaction between atoms in the lattice of the alloys, while that from heterogeneous alloys is affected by galvanic interaction established in the solution The manner in which the dissolution of a certain metal is influenced by surrounding metals has been discussed in terms of pas-sive and noble nature of the metal in relation to the neighboring metals. The role of the standard electrochemical Potential of these metals on the selective dissolution for a given lixiviant has also been discussed.

The two-step surface modifications of activated carbon was carried out to improve the adsorption capacity of toxic heavy metal ions in liquid phase. Physical and chemical properties of the as-received activated carbon (AC) and two kinds of surface-modified activated carbons ($1^{st}AC$ and $2^{nd}AC$) were evaluated through the BET analysis, surface acidity, and oxides measurements. Specific surface area and pore volume did not significantly change, but surface oxide-group remarkably increased by the surface modification. Equilibrium and batch adsorptions of the various metals, such as Pb, Cd, and Cr, using AC, $1^{st}AC$, and $2^{nd}AC$ were performed at initial pH 5. The adsorption capacity and rate of $2^{nd}AC$ were higher than those of AC and $1^{st}AC$. The carboxylic/sodium carboxylate complex groups were developed from the two-step surface modification of activated carbon, which strongly affected the adsorption of metal ions.

Well-defined surfaces of single-crystalline solid materials are starting points of self-organizationof nanostructures and chemical reactions controlled in nanoscale. Although highly ordered atomicarrangement can be obtained on semiconductor surfaces, they can be maintained only in vacuumand not in air or in aqueous environment. Since single-crystalline metal oxide surfaces arechemically stable and no further oxidation occurs, their atomic structures can be utilized fornanofabrication in liquid processes, nanoelectrochemistry and nanobiotechnology. Sapphire is oneof the most stable metal oxides and its crystalline quality is excellent, as can be applied to electronicdevices that require ultralow defect densities. We recently found that chemical phase separationoccurs on sapphire surfaces by annealing processes and the formed nanodomains exhibit specificproperties in air and in water [1,2]. In our experiments, highly selective and controllable adsorptionof various protein molecules is observed on the phase-separated surfaces though the materials andcrystallographic orientations are identical [3,4]. Planar lipid bilayers supported on thephase-separated sapphire surface also exhibit a specific formation site selectivity [5]. Chemicalnanodomains appear on other metal-oxide surfaces, such as well-ordered titania surfaces. Wedemonstrate that surface chemistry of the nanodomains can be characterized in aqueousenvironment using atomic force microscopy equipped with colloidal tips and then show adsorptionand desorption behaviors of various proteins on the phase-separated surfaces.

We investigated the high-excitation voltage cathodoluminescence (CL) performance of blue light-emitting (ZnS:Ag,Al,Cl) and green light-emitting (ZnS:Cu,Al) phosphors coated with metal oxides ($SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$, and MgO). Hydrolysis of the metal oxide precursors tetraethoxysilane, aluminum isopropoxide, and magnesium nitrate, with subsequent heat annealing at $400^{\circ}C$, produced $SiO_2$ nanoparticles, an $Al_2O_3$ thin film, and MgO scale-type film, respectively, on the surface of the phosphors. Effects of the phosphor surface coatings on CL intensities and aging behavior of the phosphors were assessed using an accelerating voltage of 12 kV. The MgO thick film coverage exhibited less reduction in initial CL intensity and was most effective in improving aging degradation. Phosphors treated with a low concentration of magnesium nitrate maintained their initial CL intensities without aging degradation for 2000 s. In contrast, the $SiO_2$ and the $Al_2O_3$ coverages were ineffective in improving aging degradation.

Ni-Zn ferrite powder was obtained by wet method that was to be coprecipitated the metal nitrates, Fe($NO_3$)$_3$ㆍ$9H_2$O, Ni($NO_3$)$_2$ㆍ$6H_2$O, Zn($NO_3$)$_2$ㆍ$6H_2$O to make a high permeability material. The composition of the ferrite powder was $Fe_2$$O_3$ 52 mol%, NiO 14.4 mol%, ZnO 33.6 mol%. Ni-Zn ferrite powder was compounded by precipitating metal nitrates with NaOH in vessel at the synthetic temperature of $90^{\circ}C$ for 8 hours. Calcination temperature and sintering temperature were $700^{\circ}C$ and $1150^{\circ}C$～$1250^{\circ}C$, respectively, for 2 hours. And the other ferrite powder was also prepared by the wet ball milling that was to be mixed the metal oxides as same as the above chemical composition. We studied the properties of the powder and the electromagnetic characteristics of the sintered cores obtained from there two different processes. Wet direct process produced smaller particle size with narrower distribution of the size and more purified ferrite whose sintered cores had high permeability and high magnetization.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) has drawn much interest as a potential transparent conducting oxide (TCO) for applying to solar cell and front electrode of electro-luminescent devices. For the enhancement of electrical property of TCOs, dopant introduction and hybridization with conductive nanoparticles have been investigated. In this work, ZnO films were formed on glass substrate by using photochemical solution deposition of Ag nanoparticles dispersed or various metal (Ag, Cd, In, or Sn) contained photosensitive ZnO solutions. The usage of photosensitive solution permits us to obtain a micron-sized direct patterning of ZnO film without using conventional dry etching procedure. The structural, optical, and electrical characteristics of ZnO films with the introduction of metal dopants with/without Ag nanoparticles have been investigated to check whether there is a combined effect between metal dopants and Ag nanoparticles on the characteristics of ZnO film. The phase formation and crystallinity of ZnO film were monitored with X-ray diffractometer. The optical transmittance measurement was carried out using UV-VIS-NIR spectrometer and the electrical properties such as sheet resistance and conductivity were observed by using four-point probe.

The recent development of information and communication technologies brings new changes to automobile traffic systems. The most typical example is the advancement of dedicated short range communication(DSRC). DSRC mainly consists of an intelligent transportation system(ITS), an electronic toll collection system(ETCS) and an advanced traveler information system(ATIS). These wireless communications often cause unnecessary electromagnetic waves, and these electromagnetic waves, in turn, cause frequent system malfunction. To solve this problem, an absorber of electromagnetic waves is suggested. In this research, various materials, such as powdered metal and iron oxides, are used to test the possibility for an effective absorption of the unnecessary electromagnetic waves. The various metal powders are made into a thin sheet form by compositing through processing. The electromagnetic characteristics(complex permittivity, complex permeability) of the fabricated sheet are measured. As a result, we achieve -6.5 dB at 940 MHz(77.6 % absorption rate) with a 1.0 mm-thickness electromagnet wave absorber, and -9.5 dB at 940 MHz(88.8 % absorption rate) with a 2.0 mm-thickness absorber.
