Two oxidation states of chromium commonly occur in natural soil/water systems, Cr(III) and Cr(VI). The oxidized form, Cr(VI), exists as the chromate ion and is more mobile and toxic than Cr(III). Therefore oxidation of Cr(III) by various Mn-oxides in natural systems is a very important environmental concern. Organic substances can inhibit the Cr(III) oxidation by binding, Cr(III) strongly and also by dissolving Mn-oxides. Most of Cr(III) oxidation studies were carried out using in vitro systems without organic substances which exist in natural soil/water systems. In this study effect of organic acids - oxalate and pyruvate - on Cr(III) oxidation by $birnessite({\delta}-MnO_2)$ was examined. The two organic acids significantly inhibited Cr(III) oxidation by birnessite. Oxalate showed more significant inhibition than pyruvate. As solution pH was lowered in the range of 3.0 to 5.0, the Cr(III) oxidation was more strongly depressed. Addition of more organic acids reduced the Cr(III) oxidation mare extensively. Different inhibition effects by the organic acids could be due to their ability of reductive dissolution of Mn-oxides and/or Cr(III) binding. Organic acids dissolved Mn-oxide during the Cr(III) oxidation by the oxide, Dissolution by oxalic acid was much greater than that by pyruvate, and the dissolution was more extensive at lower pH. Inhibition of Cr(III) oxidation was parallel to the dissolution of Mn-oxide by organic acids. Although the effect of Cr(III) binding by organic acids on Cr(III) oxidation is not known yet, Mn-oxide dissolution by organic acids could be a main reason for the inhibition of Cr(III) oxidation by Mn-oxide in presence of organic acids. Thus oxidation of Cr(III) to Cr(VI) by various Mn-oxides in natural systems could be much less than the oxidation estimated by in vitro studies with only Cr(III) and Mn-oxides.

Manganese (Mn) oxides in soils and sediments differ in structure and composition. The influence of that diversity on the chromium (Cr) oxidation is the subject of this report. Oxidation of Cr(III) to Cr(VI) by coarse clay size Mn oxides (synthetic pyrolusite and natural lithiophorite, todorokite, and bimessite) was studied. Chromium oxidation by Mn oxides was initially fast and followed by a slow reaction. More Cr was oxidized by the Mn oxides at lower pH and higher initial Cr(III) concentration in solution. Birnessite had the highest chromium oxidation capacity per unit external surface area (COCUESA) and lithiophorite had the lowest COCUESA. The kinetics of Cr oxidation and COCUESA of Mn oixdes were apparently controlled by reactivity of surface Mn, mineralogy, and solution properties (pH and Cr(III) concentration).

$LaFeO_3$ 복합산화물과 부분 치환한 $LaFeO_3$ 복합산화물을 citrate와 Cyanide 공침법으로 합성하여 공기중에서 $850^{\circ}C$로 24시간동안 열처리해 제조방법에 의한 영향을 비교하였다. XRD와 IR의 결과에 의하여면, 합성된 산화물은 Orthorhombic의 Perovskite구조를 나타냈으나 B자리에 0.5mol의 Cu가 치환된 복합산화물은 단일상을 얻지 못하였다. 또한, 이들 산화물의 환원반응은 치환하지 않은 $LaFeO_3.17$ 복합산홤루은 2단계 반응인 반면에 치환한 복합산화물은 3단계 반응으로 Dopant에 의한 새로운 환원단계가 존재함을 알았다.

This review explores the potential of pillared bentonite materials as solid acid catalysts for synthesizing diethyl ether, a promising renewable energy source. Diethyl ether offers numerous environmental benefits over fossil fuels, such as lower emissions of nitrogen oxides (NO_x) and carbon oxides (CO_x) gases and enhanced fuel properties, like high volatility and low flash point. Generally, the synthesis of diethyl ether employs homogeneous acid catalysts, which pose environmental impacts and operational challenges. This review discusses bentonite, a naturally occurring alumina silicate, as a heterogeneous acid catalyst due to its significant cation exchange capacity, porosity, and ability to undergo modifications such as pillarization. Pillarization involves intercalating polyhydroxy cations into the bentonite structure, enhancing surface area, acidity, and thermal stability. Despite the potential advantages, challenges remain in optimizing the yield and selectivity of diethyl ether production using pillared bentonite. The review highlights the need for further research using various metal oxides in the pillarization process to enhance surface properties and acidity characteristics, thereby improving the catalytic performance of bentonite for the synthesis of diethyl ether. This development could lead to more efficient, environmentally friendly synthesis processes, aligning with sustainable energy goals.

To produce 4N grade high-purity silica powder from natural ore, the mineralogical characteristics of natural silica ore were investigated and their effects on the purification process were revealed. The Chinese silica mineral ore used was composed of iron and aluminum as main impurities and calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and titanium as trace impurities; these trace impurities generally exist as either single oxides or complex oxides. It was confirmed that liberation and acidic washing of the impurities were highly dependent on the particle size of the ground silica ore and on its mineralogical characteristics such as the distribution and phases of existing impurities. It is suggested that appropriate size reduction of silica ore should be realized for optimized purification according to the origin of the natural silica ore. A single step purification process, the mechano-chemical washing (MCW) process, was proposed and verified in comparison with the conventional multi step washing process.

망간산화물은 다양한 결정구조를 가지고 있으며, 특히 초기에 생성되는 나노층상구조의 δ-MnO₂ 가 다양한 산화환원 반응에 따라 여러가지 터널 및 층상구조로 변화한다. 최근Zn기반 이차전지에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있지만, 충방전 간 Zn이온이 양극재로 사용되는 망간산화물 결정 구조 변화 및 새로운 결정 생성 등에 미치는 영향에 대한 기초적 이해를 위해 Zn이온이 망간산화물 결정에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구가 더욱 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 수열반응 간 Zn 도핑정도가 조절된 나노층상구조의 δ-MnO₂의 변화를 통해 todorokite과 chalcophanite이 생성 및 성장되는 것을 확인하였고, 반응 시간에 따른 변화과정을 확인하였다. Zn의 양이 많을수록 chalcophanite 결정이 우세하게 생성되었고, 결정 생성이 상대적으로 느린 속도로 발생하는 것을 확인하였다.

코발트 니켈 합금형 실리사이드 공정에서 단결정실리콘과 다결정실리콘 기판에 자연산화막이 있는 경우 나노급 두께의 코발트 니켈 합금 금속을 증착하고 실리사이드화하는 경우의 반응 안정성을 확인하였다. 4인치 P-type(100)Si 기판 전면에 poly silicon을 입힌 기판과 single silicon 상태의 두 종류 기판을 준비하고 두께 4 nm의 자연산화막이 있는 상태에서 10 nm 코발트 니켈 합금을 니켈의 상대조성을 $10{\sim}90%$로 달리하며 열증착하였다. 통상의 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, $1100^{\circ}C$ 각 온도에서 실리사이드화 열처리를 시행 후 잔류 합금층을 제거하고, XRD(X-ray diffraction)및 FE-SEM(Field emission scanning electron microscopy), AES(Auger electron spectroscopy)를 사용하여 실리사이드가 생겼는지 확인하였다. 마이크로라만 분석기로 실리사이드 반응시의 실리콘 층의 잔류 스트레스도 확인하였다. 자연산화막이 존재하는 경우 실리사이드 반응이 진행되지 않았고, 폴리실리콘 기판과 고온에서는 금속과 산화층의 반응잔류물이 생성되었다. 단결정 기판의 고온열처리에서는 실리사이드 반응이 없더라도 핀홀이 발생할 수 있는 정도의 열스트레스가 존재하였다. 코발트 니켈 복합실리사이드 공정에서는 자연산화막을 제거하는 공정이 필수적이었다.
