This study investigated the influence of catalyst preparation on the activity of $Co-CeO_2$ catalyst for $N_2O$ decomposition. $Co-CeO_2$ catalysts were synthesized by co-precipitation and incipient wetness impregnation. In order to estimate the performance of the as prepared catalysts, direct catalytic $N_2O$ decomposition test was carried out under $250{\sim}375^{\circ}C$. As a result, the catalyst prepared by co-precipitation (CoCe-CP) showed an enhanced performance on $N_2O$ decomposition reaction even in the presence of $O_2$ and/or $H_2O$, whereas the impregnation catalyst (CoCe-IM) did not. In order to investigate the difference in catalytic activity, characterization such as XRD, BET, TEM, $H_2-TPR$, $O_2-TPD$, and XPS was conducted. It is confirmed that the particle size and specific surface area were changed depending on the catalyst preparation method and the synthesis process influenced the physical properties of the catalysts. In addition, the improvement in the activity of the catalyst prepared by co-precipitation is due to the enhanced reduction from $Co^{3+}$ to $Co^{2+}$ and the improved oxygen desorption rate. However, it has been confirmed that the surface electron state and binding energy, which are related to $N_2O$ decomposition, do not change depending on the preparation method.

Thermal barrier coatings(TBCs) are being applied in many industrial fields such as thermal power generation, aviation and seasonal fields. $ZrO_2-Y_2O_3$(8%) thermal spray coating powders are commercially used as thermal-barrier coating materials to protect against oxidation and corrosion of heat-resistant alloys at elevated temperatures. Currently, $ZrO_2-Y_2O_3$(8%) thermal-spray powder is made using the industrial co-precipitation process, which is very complex and requires a lot of time. In this study, orthorhombic $ZrO_2$ and $Y_2O_3$ powders were fabricated by mechanical mixing, which is more economical than the co-precipitation process. A tetragonal, yttria-stabilized zirconia(YSZ) coating-layer was produced by plasma spraying, using orthorhombic $ZrO_2-Y_2O_3$(8%) powder. Our experimental results indicate that $ZrO_2-Y_2O_3$(8%) mixed powder can be used economically in industry because it is no longer necessary to make this powder by liquid and gas-phase methods.

Chromium-doped zinc ferrite nanoparticles with the general formula Cr_yZnFe_2-yO₄ (y = 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, and 0.1) were synthesized by a surfactant-assisted chemical co-precipitation route using metal nitrate salt precursors. The phase purity and structural parameters were determined by powder X-ray diffraction. The concentration of Cr³⁺ doped into ZnFe₂O₄ (ZF) noticeably affected the crystallite size, which was in the range of 22 nm to 36 nm, and all samples showed a single cubic spinel structure without any secondary phase or impurities. The lattice parameter, X-ray density, and skeletal density increased with an increase in the Cr-doping concentration; on the other hand, a decreasing trend was observed for the particle size and porosity. The influence of Cr³⁺ substitution on ZF magnetic properties were studied under an applied field of 15 kOe. The overall results revealed that the incorporation of a small amount of Cr dopant changed the structural, electrical, and magnetic properties of ZF.

Hexagonal ferrite $Co_2$Z(B $a_3$ $Co_2$F $e_{24}$ $O_{41}$ ) was prepared by various coprecipitation-oxidation methods. The formation of $Co_2$Z was studied in order to determine the optimal method. The $Co_2$Z composition hydroxides were prepared with the different oxidation and precipitation from the aqueous solution of $Ba^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$ and F $e^{2+}$ chloride mixture. The coprecipitates were heat-treated at various temperatures, and their formation phases and microstructures were investigated from the analyses of DTA/TGA, powder XRD and SEM. The $Co_2$Z phase was observed in the case where the precursor will have the amorphous like oxyhydoxide($\delta$-FeOOH), and formed from $Ba_3$F $e_{32}$ $O_{51}$ , BaF $e_{12}$ $O_{19}$ (M-type) and $Ba_2$ $Co_2$F $e_{12}$ $O_{22}$ (Y-type). The $Co_2$Z was synthesized by the heat-treatment of the coprecipitate, which was prepared from the precipitation after oxidizing the chloride mixed solution, above 110$0^{\circ}C$.EX>.

The spinel $LiMn_{2}O_{4}$ powders were synthesized at $480^{\circ}C$ for 12 h in air by a sol-gel method using manganese acetate and lithium hydroxide as starting material and the $Fe_{3}O_{4}$ powders were synthesized by the precipitation method using $0.2M-FeSO_{4}{\cdot}H_{2}O$ and 0.5M-NaOH. The synthesized $Fe_{3}O_{4}$ powders were mixed at portion of 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt% about $LiMn_{2}O_{4}$ powders through ball-milling followed by drying at room temperature for 48 h in air. The mixed catalysts were reduced at $350^{\circ}C$ for 3 h by hydrogen and the decomposition rate of carbon dioxide was measured at $350^{\circ}C$ using the reduced catalysts. As the results of $CO_{2}$ decomposition experiments, the decomposition rates of carbon dioxide were 85% in all catalysts but the initial decomposition rates of $CO_{2}$ were slightly high in the case of the $5%-Fe_{3}O_{4}$ added catalyst.

The effect of the DMAB concentration, temperature, deposition time, and stabilizer concentration on the precipitation reaction of the electroless nickel plating using dimethylamine borane (DMAB) as reducing agent was investigated to by the weight gain and electrochemical method. The deposition rate was dependent with DMAB concentration. The polarization resistance of the precipitation reaction was reduced with DMAB concentration. The precipitation reaction rate of Ni-B deposits was controlled by the oxidation rate of DMAB as the source of electron. The boron content of the deposit was constant at about 5.5wt%, even when DMAB concentration in the solution was increased. The effect of temperature and stabilizer ($Pb(NO_3)_2$) concentration on deposition rate was shown to have co-dependent behaviors.

This study investigated synthesis gas production via steam reforming of biogas. Ni-Al₂O₃ and Ni-CeO₂ catalysts were synthesized using the co-precipitation method, with controlled precipitation agent injection rates. Catalytic performances were tested at various temperatures, with a gas composition ratio of CH₄:CO₂:H₂O = 1:0.67:3 and a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 647,000 mL h^-1 gcat^-1. The rate of precipitation agent injection influenced the characteristics of the catalysts depending on the type of support used. As the temperature increased, both the CO₂ reforming of methane and the reverse water gas shift reactions occurred. The Ni-Al₂O₃ catalyst, synthesized with a single injection of the precipitation agent, exhibited the best catalytic activity under conditions with sufficient steam supply among the prepared catalysts, due to its high Ni dispersion.

BACKGROUND: The carbon (C) isotope ratio (${\delta}^{13}C$) of dissolved organic C (DOC) is an indicator of water pollution source. In this study, the potential use of two pre-treatments for the ${\delta}^{13}C$ analysis, alkaline persulfate oxidation coupled with carbonate precipitation (precipitation) and freeze drying (drying), were compared to suggest a more feasible pre-treatment method. METHODS AND RESULTS: Two reference materials with different ${\delta}^{13}C$ values were used for the experiments; chemical grade glucose ($-12.0{\pm}0.02$‰) and pig manure compost extract ($-23.3{\pm}0.04$‰). In the precipitation method, the measured ${\delta}^{13}C$ values were consistently lower than the theoretically calculated values as dissolved $CO_2$ could not be removed due to the alkaline property of the reagents and the dissolution of air $CO_2$ into the alkaline solution. The drying method also resulted in more negative ${\delta}^{13}C$ than the calculated ${\delta}^{13}C$; however, the difference was systematic ($3.9{\pm}0.3$‰) and there was a strong correlation (${\delta}^{13}C_{calculated}=0.87{\times}{\delta}^{13}C_{measured}-0.624$, $r^2=0.98$) between the calculated and measured ${\delta}^{13}C$. Calibration of ${\delta}^{13}C$ using the relationship between the calculated and the measured ${\delta}^{13}C$ values produced reliable and accurate ${\delta}^{13}C$ values. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that the drying method is more accurate pre-treatment method to minimize the influence of air $CO_2$ compared to the precipitation method for the determination of ${\delta}^{13}C$ of DOC.

${CO_3}^{2-}$ containing whisker-like hydroxyapatite powders were synthesized byhomogeneous precipitation method using urea, Dicalcium phosphate anhdrate[DCPA; $CaHPO_4$] and octacalcium phosphate [OCP; $Ca_8H_2(PO_4_)6\cdot5H_20$]were obtained as precursors and they transformed to high crystalline hydroxyapatites at pH 5.62, and 6.54 respectively. According to the condition of the final pH in the solutions for the solution products and urea contents OCP was remained. When the solution product of $Ca^{2-}$ and ${PO_4}^{3-}$ was $1.5\times 10^4$[$mM^2$] and the content of urea was 0.25 mol.$dm^{-3}$ well crystallized whisker-like hydroxyapatite tens of micrometer in length was obtained. By heat treatment DCPA and OCP were decomposed into $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate [$\beta$-TCP ; $\beta$-$Ca_3{PO_4}_2$] and $\beta$-dicalcium phosphate [$\beta$-DCP ;$\beta$-$Ca_2P_2O_4}_2$]. And well-crystallized hydroxyapatite was partially decomposed into $\beta$-TCP at $800^{\circ}C$.

Although it has been known that the magnetized water shows different physicochemical properties, the exact nature of the magnetized water is not clearly elucidated yet. We have explored the effect of magnetized water in the precipitation of salts, i.e., $BaSO_4,\;BaCO_3,\;CaCO_3$, and in the hydration hardening of gypsum plaster. The amount of salt precipitation was measured by salt filter assay in water bath, $25^{\circ}C$ and also the hydration hardening speed of gypsum plaster was measured by the Gillmore needle method at room temperature. When the salt ions were interacted with each other in 0.1 M concentration, the precipitation reactions of $BaSO_4,\;BaCO_3$, and $CaCO_3$ increased more in the magnetized water, about 3.6%, 3.8%, and 4.4%, respectively, than in the control water. And the hydration hardening speed of gypsum plaster increased more in the magnetized water than in the control water. These data suggest that the magnetized water, which is supposed to be organized by forming numerous nano/micro clusters, induces the increase of salt precipitation and also accelerates the hydration hardening speed of gypsum plaster.
