Pure Mg and Mg-6wt.%Al alloy were coated by the plasma electrolytic oxidation with various coating times and the microstructural and mechanical characteristics of the coatings were investigated. The coatings on pure Mg and Mg-6wt.%Al alloy consisted of MgO and $Mg_2SiO_4$. The surface roughness and thickness of the coatings became larger as the coating time increased. The coatings on the Mg-6wt.%Al alloy were more uniform and thicker than those on pure Mg. The microhardness and friction coefficient of the coatings increased progressively as the coating time increased. In addition, the coatings on the Mg-6wt.%Al alloy compared to pure Mg showed improved microhardness and a better friction coefficient.

To remove nitrogen oxides(NOx) in exhaust gas of diesel engine, three-way catalytic process with plasma discharger has great possibilities. Characteristics of NOx removal depends on NO conversion to NO$_2$and/or HNO$_3$due to high activation energies for NO oxidation and reduction. NOx removal efficiency by using three-way catalytic with plasma discharger indicated about 50% at 40watt power consumption condition.

The methanol extract of Taraxacum coreanum Nakai (Compositae) was examined on the in vitro oxidation of human low density lipoprotein (LDL). It is well known that LDL oxidation induced artherosclerosis, if we can protect LDL oxidation process, excess plasma lipoprotein accumulation into the arterial lesion prone areas can be blocked. The methanol extract was treated with oxidized LDL which was incubated with $16\;{\mu}M$ $Cu^{2+}$ for metal catalyzed oxidation and TBA value, mobility on agarose gel and formation of conjugated diene and change of vitamin E were determined for the evaluation. The extract showed antioxidative effect at concentration $200\;{\mu}g/ml$ on LDL oxidation.

Purpose: A sensitive gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method was developed for screening of fatty acid oxidation disorders. Methods: The assay utilized a simple protein precipitation with sulfosalicylic acid followed by tert-butyl dimethylsilyl (TBDMS) derivatization of hydroxyl functional group by N-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-N-methyltrifluoroacetamide (MTBSTFA). Results: Calibration curves of spiked pooled plasma showed a linear relationship in the range of 0.01 ng -2 mg with correlation coefficient value greater than 0.98. Limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ) were found in the range of 0.9-8.8 ng and 9-88 ng, respectively. Conclusion: The new developed method might be useful for a rapid, sensitive screening of inherited fatty acid oxidation disorders. In addition, the method expected to be one of the alternative method for screening newborns of metabolic disorders in the laboratories where expensive MS/MS is unavailable.

For the decomposition of laundry wastewater containing Fe-EDTA produced from the steam generators in nuclear power plants, Supercritical Water Oxidation (SCWO) Process, Photocatalytic Oxidation (PO) Process, and Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Process were evaluated. Even though EDTA was converted over 99.98 % by the SCWO process, it was estimated that the countermeasure against corrosion of the equipment should be reinforced for the process stability. It was considered that the PO process is not appropriate for the decomposition of high concentrated laundry wastewater since the conversion ratio of EDTA was around 10 %. Finally, High efficiency of the decomposition of organic matter (methylene blue) was obtained using DBD process even low energy was supplied. However there is still room for the evaluation of EDTA decomposition in order that the DBD process should be applied for the field samples.

We have investigated the oxidation of gas phase elemental mercury using dielectric barrier discharge (DBD). In the DBD process, active species such as $O_3$, OH, O and $HO_2$ are generated by collisions between electrons and gas molecules. Search active species convert elemental mercury into mercury oxide which is deposited into the wall of DBD reactor because of its low vapor pressure. The oxidation efficiency of elemental mercury has been decreased from 60 to 30% by increasing the initial concentration of the elemental mercury from 72 to $655{\mu}g/Nm^3$. The gas retention time at the DBD reactor has showed the little effect on the oxidation efficiency. The more oxygen concentration has induced the more oxidation of elemental mercury, whereas there has been no appreciable oxidation within pure $N_2$ discharge. It has indicated that oxygen atom and ozone, generated in air condition determine the oxidation of elemental mercury.

In this study, we report the microstructure and the high-temperature oxidation behavior of Fe-Ni alloys by spark plasma sintering. Structural characterization is performed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The oxidation behavior of Fe-Ni alloys is studied by means of a high-temperature oxidation test at $1000^{\circ}C$ in air. The effect of Ni content of Fe-Ni alloys on the microstructure and on the oxidation characteristics is investigated in detail. In the case of Fe-2Ni and Fe-5Ni alloys, the microstructure is a ferrite (${\alpha}$) phase with body centered cubic (BCC) structure, and the microstructure of Fe-10Ni and Fe-20Ni alloys is considered to be a massive martensite (${\alpha}^{\prime}$) phase with the same BCC structure as that of the ferrite phase. As the Ni content increases, the micro-Vickers hardness of the alloys also increases. It can also be seen that the oxidation resistance is improved by decreasing the thickness of the oxide film.

Thin films of CrAlSiN were deposited on SKD11 tool steel substrate using Cr and AlSi cathodes by a cathodic arc plasma deposition system. The influence of process parameters on the deposited film properties were investigated. The oxidation characteristics of the films were studied at temperatures ranging from 800 and 1000+C up to 50 h in air. The films showed superhardness and good oxidation resistance..
