The catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which were benzene and toluene, was studied in the supercritical carbon dioxide($SC-CO_2$) media. In $SC-CO_2$ media, the deep oxidation conversion of VOCs was increased with the temperature and pressure. The deep oxidation conversion in SC -$CO_2$ media is better than that in air media at same pressure condition. This can be explained by the solubility of VOCs in $SC-CO_2$. The many intermediates produced by the partial oxidation of VOCs were detected from off-line samples. The intermediates were Identified as benzene, toluene, benzaldehyde, phenol, naphthalene, 1,1`-biphenyl, benzoic acid, 3-methylphenol, 1,1'-(1,2-ethanediyl)bis- benzene, 1,1'-(1,2-ethene- diyl)bis-benzene, anthracene, and so on. The amount of intermediates was decreased as the molar radio of oxygen to carbon dioxide was decreased. When the molar ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide was 1 : 16, the deep conversion was kept constant. Thus, the catalytic oxidation process in $SC-CO_2$ media can be combined on-line with supercritical fluid extraction of environmental matrices and supercritical regeneration of used adsorbent. Thus, the nontoxic $SC-CO_2$ media process was suggested as the new VOCs control technology.

MCrAlY overaly coatings are used as oxidation barrier coatings to prevent degradation of the underlying substrate in high temperature and oxidizing environment of the hot section of gas turbines. Therefore, oxidation resistance in high temperature is important property of MCrAlY coatings. Also, coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) of MCrAlY have middle value of that of Ni-based superalloys and oxides, which have the effect of preventing the delamination of the surface oxides. Cyclic oxidation test is one of the most useful methods for evaluating the high temperature durability of coatings used in gas turbines. In this study, NiCoCrAlY overlay coatings were formed on Inconel 792(IN 792) substrates by vacuum plasma spraying process. Vacuum plasma sprayed NiCoCrAlY coatings and IN 792 susbstrates were exposed to 1000℃ one-hour cyclic oxidation environment. NiCoCrAlY coatings showed lower weight gain in short-term oxidation. In long-term oxidation, IN 792 substrates showed higher weight loss due to delamination of surface oxide but NiCoCrAlY coatings showed lower weight loss. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed α-Al2O3 and NiCr₂O₄ was formed during the cyclic oxidation test. Through cross-section observation using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis, thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer composed of α-Al₂O₃ and NiCr₂O₄ was formed and the thickness of TGO increased during 1000℃ cyclic oxidation test. β phase in upper side of NiCoCrAlY coating was depleted due to oxidation of Al and outer beta depletion zone thickness also increased as the cyclic oxidation time increased.

We investigated the evolution of magnetoresistance and magnetic property of tunneling magnetoresistive(TMR) device with microstructure and plasma oxidation time. TMR devices have potential applications for non volatile MRAM and high density HDD reading head. We prepared the tunnel magnetoresistance(TMR) devices of Ta($50{\AA}$)/NiFe($50{\AA}$)/IrMn($150{\AA}$)/CoFe($50{\AA}$)/Al($13{\AA}$)-O/CoFe($40{\AA}$)/FiFe($400{\AA}$)/Ta(($50{\AA}$) structure which have $100{\times}100\mu\textrm{m}^2$ junction area on $2.5{\times}2.5\textrm{cm}^2$ Si/$SiO_2$(($1000{\AA}$) substrates by an inductively coupled plasma(ICP) magnetron sputter. We fabricated the insulating layer using an ICP plasma oxidation method by with various oxidation time from 30 sec to 360 sec, and measured resistances and magnetoresistance(MR) ratios of TMR devices. We found that the oxidized sample for oxidation time of 80 sec showed the highest MR radio of 30.31 %, while the calculated value regarding inhomogeneous current effect indicated 25.18 %. We used transmission electron microscope(TEM) to investigate microstructural evolution of insulating layer. Comparing the cross-sectional TEM images at oxidation time of 150 sec and 360 sec, we found that the thickness and thickness variation of 360 sec-oxidized insulating layer became 30% and 40% larger than those of 150 sec-oxidized layer, repectively. Therefore, our results imply that increase of thickness variation with oxidation time may be one of the major treasons of the MR decrease.

In this study, the effects of KCl(s) and K₂SO₄(s) on the oxidation characteristics of 2.25Cr-1Mo steel were investigated for 500 h in 10O₂ + 10CO₂ (vol%) gas environmen at 650 ℃. Oxidation kinetics were characterized by weight gain, oxide layer thickness, and fitted models for the experiment data were proposed. The fitted models presented considerable agreement with the experimental data. The oxide layer was analyzed using the scanning electron microscope, optical microscope, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The oxidation kinetics of 2.25Cr-1Mo steel with KCl and K₂SO₄ coatings showed significantly different oxidation kinetics. KCl accelerated the oxidation rate very much and had linear oxidation behavior. In contrast, K₂SO₄ had no significant effect, which had parabolic kinetics. The oxide layer was commonly composed of Fe₂O₃, Fe₃O₄, and FeCr₂O₄ spinel. KCl strongly accelerated the oxidation rates of 2.25Cr-1Mo steel in the high-temperature oxidation environment. Conversely, K₂SO₄ had little effect on the oxidation rates.

Ferromagnets(FM)-Al-$O_{x}$ -Ferromagnets (FM) tunneling junctions were evaluated by changing the fabricating conditions of an Al-X$/_{x}$ layer. The junction composed of a thicker Al-$O_{x}$ shows the low resistance and the stable MR ratio about 16% in a wide range of oxidation time. For the junctions with the thinner Al-$O_{x}$ , they showed a fast increase of the barrier width as an increase of an oxidation time and exhibited a strong bias dependence. As oxidation time increased, the coercivity ($H_{c}$ ) of bottom Co layer increased gradually due to the local oxidation of Co bottom layer at a interface. However, the small formation of Co oxide did not largely influence on the deterioration of MR ratio.

Fenton’s oxidation process is one of the most commonly applied processes to the wastewater which cannot be treated by conventional biological treatment processes. However, it is necessary to minimize the cost of Fenton’s oxidation treatment by modifying the treatment processes or other means of chemical treatment. So, as a method for the chemical oxidation of biorefractory or nonbiodegradable organic pollutants, the Photo-Fenton-Reaction which utilizes iron(11)salt. $H_2O$$_2$ and UV-light simultaneously has been proprosed. Therfore, the purpose of this study is to test a removal efficiency of dye-wastewater and treatment cost with Fenton’s and Photo-Fenton’s oxidation process. The Fe(11)/$H_2O$$_2$ reagent is referred to as the fenton’s reagent. which produces hydroxy radicals by the interaction of Fe(11) with $H_2O$$_2$. In this exoeriment, the main results are as followed; 1. The Fenton oxidation was most efficient in the pH range of 3-5. The optimal condition for initial reaction pH was 3.5 for the high CO $D_{Cr}$ & TOC-removal efficiency. 2. The removal efficiency of TOC and CO $D_{Cr}$ increased up to the molar ration between ferrate and hydrogen peroxide 0.2:1, but above that ratio removal efficiency hardly increased. 3. The highest removal efficiency of TOC and CO $D_{Cr}$ were showed when the mole ration of ferrate to hydrogen peroxide was 0.2:3.4. 4. Without pretreatment process, photo-fenton oxidation which was not absorbed UV light was not different to fenton oxidation. 5. And Fenton oxidtion with pretreatment process was similar to Fenton oxidation in the absence of coagulation, the proper dosage of F $e^{2+}$: $H_2O$$_2$ was 0.2:1 for the optimal removal efficiency of TOC or CO $D_{Cr}$ .6. Also, TOC & CO $D_{Cr}$ removal efficiency in the photo-fenton oxidation with pretreatment was increased when UV light intensity enhanced.7. Optimum light intensity in the range from 0 to 1200 W/$m^2$ showed that UV-intensity with 1200W/$m^2$ was the optimum condition, when F $e_{2+}$:$H_2O$$_2$ ratio for the highest decomposition was 0.2:2.5.EX>$_2$ ratio for the highest decomposition was 0.2:2.5.

CO oxidaition reacitvity of bare and $TiO_2$ -coated NiO/$Ni(OH)_2$ nanoparticles was studied. For the deposition of $TiO_2$ atomic layer deposition was used, and formation of three-dimensional island of $TiO_2$ on NiO/$Ni(OH)_2$ could be identified. Based on the data of X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, we suggest that only $Ni(OH)_2$ existed on the surface, whereas NiO disappeared upon $TiO_2$ deposition. Both CO adsorption and CO oxidation took place on NiO/$Ni(OH)_2$ surfaces under our experimental conditions. CO adsorption was completely suppressed after $TiO_2$ deposition, whereas CO oxidation activity was maintained to large extent. It is proposed that bare NiO can uptake CO under our experimental condition, whereas hydroxylated surface of NiO can be active for CO oxidation.

Anisotropic mesophase carbon fiber(AMCFs) was exposed to isothermal oxidation in air and $CO_2$atmosphere, and burn-off rates have measured by TGA. The microstructure changes of oxidized carbon fibers, were observed by SEM. It was observed that oxidation rate in the air is over 100 times faster than that in $CO_2$atmosphere. The activation energy obtained in air was about 43.4 Kcal/mole in the temperature range of $600∼800^{\circ}C$, and in $CO_2$was about 55.2 Kcal/mole in the temperature range of $950∼1200^{\circ}C$. Therefore, the oxidation reaction in both atmospheres was under chemical reaction regime in the above temperature ranges. It was shown that the oxidation of the AMCFs is initiated at the end of fibers at high temperature($1100^{\circ}C$) with developing the large pores, and the small pores are developed on the fiber surface at low temperature($900^{\circ}C$). In conclusion, the oxidation of the AMCFs is progressed through the imperfection.

High value-added aromatic aldehydes (e.g. vanillin and syringaldehyde) were produced from heavy fraction of bio-oil (HFBO) via catalytic oxidation. The concept is based on the use of metalloporphyin as catalyst and hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) as oxidant under alkaline condition. The biomimetic catalyst cobalt(II)-sulfonated tetraphenylporphyrin ($Co(TPPS_4)$) was prepared and characterized. It exhibited relative high activity in the catalytic oxidation of HFBO. 4.57 wt % vanillin and 1.58 wt % syringaldehyde were obtained from catalytic oxidation of HFBO, compared to 2.6 wt % vanillin and 0.86 wt % syringaldehyde without $Co(TPPS_4)$. Moreover, a possible mechanism of HFBO oxidation using $Co(TPPS_4)/H_2O_2$ was proposed by the research of model compounds. The results showed that this is a promising and environmentally friendly method for production of aromatic aldehydes from HFBO under $Co(TPPS_4)/H_2O_2$ system.

The MarM247 based superalloy (8wt.%Cr- 9wt.%Co- 3wt.%Ta- 1.5wt.%Hf- 5.6%wt.Al- 9.5wt.%W- Bal. Ni) specimens were diffusion aluminized by for types of pack cementation methods, and their coating structure and their high temperature oxidation resistance were investigated. The coated specimens treated at 973K in high aluminum concentration pack had a coating layer containing large hafunium rich precipitates, which were originally included in substrate alloy. After the high temperature oxidation test in air containing 30 vol.% $H_2O$ at 1273K ~ 323K, the deep localized corrosion which reached to the substrate were observed along with these hafnium rich precipitates. On the other hand, the coated specimens treated at 1323K using low aluminum concentration pack showed the coating layer without the large hafunium rich precipitates, and after the high temperature oxidation test at 1273K for 1800 ksec, it did not show the deep localized corrosion. The nickel electroplating before the aluminizing forms thick hafnium free area, and its high temperature oxidation resistance were comparable to platinum modified aluminizing coatings at 1273K.
