Vertically aligned Zinc Oxide rod arrays were grown by the self-assembly hydrothermal process on the GaN epitaxial layer which has a same lattice structure with ZnO. Zinc nitrate and DETA solutions are used in the hydrothermal process. The $(HfO_2)$ thin film was deposited on GaN and the patterning was made by the photolithography technique. The selective growth of ZnO rod was achieved with the patterned GaN substrate. The fabricated ZnO rods are single crystal, and have grown along hexagonal c-axis direction of (002) which is the same growth orientation of GaN epitaxial layer. The density and the size of ZnO rod can be controlled by the pattern. The optical property of ordered array of vertical ZnO rods will be discussed in the present work.

The β-class of carbonic anhydrases (β-CAs) are zinc metalloenzymes widely distributed in the fungal kingdom that play essential roles in growth, survival, differentiation, and virulence by catalyzing the reversible interconversion of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and bicarbonate (HCO₃^-). Herein, we report the biochemical and crystallographic characterization of the β-CA CafA from the fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus, the main causative agent of invasive aspergillosis. CafA exhibited apparent in vitro CO₂ hydration activity in neutral to weak alkaline conditions, but little activity at acidic pH. The high-resolution crystal structure of CafA revealed a tetramer comprising a dimer of dimers, in which the catalytic zinc ion is tetrahedrally coordinated by three conserved residues (C119, H175, C178) and an acetate anion presumably acquired from the crystallization solution, indicating a freely accessible "open" conformation. Furthermore, knowledge of the structure of CafA in complex with the potent inhibitor acetazolamide, together with its functional intolerance of nitrate (NO₃^-) ions, could be exploited to develop new antifungal agents for the treatment of invasive aspergillosis.

Organophosphorous compounds can be reduced by zinc metal in acidic solution after alkaline hydrolysis. Although phosphates and phosphonates did not evolve any gas, dithioates did evolve hydrogen sulfide and phosphine, thionates and thiolates did evolve only hydrogen sulfide. The evolved gases were qualitatively detected by means of lead acetate and silver nitrate or mercuric bromide papers and determined by spectrophotometrically. The reduction mechanism and analytical method of dithioates were proposed.

흡착제 생산균주를 선별하기 위하여 토양시료에서 분리한 홉착제 생산균주중 가장 뛰어난 흡착물질을 생산하는 균주, SK3l을 선별하였으며 분리균주 SK3l은 Bacilus속으로 동정되었다. Bacillus sp. SK3l에 의하여 생산된 흡착물질(생물흡착제 SK3l)은 ethanol 침전과 cetylpyridinium(CPC)침전을 통하여 정제하여 아연과 납 이온에 대한 흡착특성을 조사하였다. 생물흡착제 SK3l의 아연과 납 이온의 흡착량은 각각 52 mg/g과 112 mg/g이었다. Bacillus sp. SK3l 균주가 흡착제를 생산하기위한 flask수준에서의 배양조건들이 조사되었다. 흡착제 생산을 위한 최적 pH와 최적온도는 각각 7.5와 $30^{\circ}C$로 나타났다. 흡착제 생산시 주요한 탄소원과 질소원은 glucose와 ammonium nitrate이었다. 최적화된 배지에서의 흡착제 생산은 기초배지에서 보다 약 3배 증가하였다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of reaction pH conditions and hardener types on the reactivity, chemical structure and adhesion performance of UF resins. Three different reaction pH conditions, such as traditional alkaline-acid (7.5 → 4.5), weak acid (4.5), and strong acid (1.0), were used to synthesize UF resins which were cured by adding three different hardeners (ammonium chloride, ammonium citrate, and zinc nitrate) to measure adhesion strength. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (¹³C-NMR) spectroscopies were employed to study chemical structure of the resin prepared under three different reaction pH conditions. Adhesion strength of the resins cured with three different hardeners was determined with lap shear specimens in tension. The gel time of UF resins decreased with an increasing in the amount of both ammonium chloride and ammonium citrate added in the resins. However, the gel time increased for zinc nitrate. Both FT-IR and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopies showed that the strong reaction pH condition produce uronic structures in UF resin, while both alkaline-acid and weak acid conditions produce quite similar chemical species in the resins. The maximum adhesion strength was occurred with the resin prepared under strong acid pH condition. However, this study indicated that the weak acid reaction condition provide a balance between increasing resin reactivity and improving adhesion strength of UF resin. The measurement of formaldehyde emission from the panels bonded with the UF resins prepared is planned for future work.

본 연구에서는 전기화학적 처리공정을 이용하여 전극판 종류에 따른 질산성 질소의 농도별 제거효율을 살펴보았고, 여기서 선정된 전극으로 운전조건(pH 변화, 전류밀도, 환원제, 교차전류)을 변화시켜 질산성 질소 제거효율, 에너지소모량에 따른 최적운전조건을 평가하였다. 또한 단일공정에 의한 처리가 아닌 다단계 전기화학적 처리를 통한 질산성 질소 제거 실험을 진행하였다. 100 mg $NO_3^{-}$ -N/L 농도로 실험한 결과에서 동일 전극인 경우 Zn-Zn 전극판, 불용성 산화전극 백금(Pt)인 경우 Pt-Ti 전극에서 높은 질산성 질소 제거효율을 나타내었다. 150 mg $NO_3^{-}$ -N/L에서 Zn-Zn 전극판인 경우 pH 조절없이 전기분해한 결과 70~85%, 불용성 산화전극인 백금(Pt)인 경우 Pt-Ti 전극에서 40~50%의 질산성 질소 제거효율을 나타내었다. 그리고 고농도인 500, 1,000 mg $NO_3^{-}$ -N/L 질산성 질소 제거 실험결과, 농도가 증가할수록 제거효율은 감소하는 경향을 보이지만 에너지 소모량에 대한 질소 제거효율은 증가하였다. 다단계 전기화학적 처리 실험결과, Test 4 조건을 최적의 조건으로 선정하였으며 그 이유는 다음과 같다. 첫 번째, 1단계에서 소모된 Zn 양극의 대부분을 2단계 이후 공정에서 회수하였고, 두 번째, 2단계 이후에서는 불용성 백금을 산화전극으로 사용함으로써 전극 소모 가능성을 줄였으며, 마지막으로 Zn을 환원전극으로 사용함으로써 Zn의 재이용 가능성을 높였다. 따라서, 질소를 함유한 표면처리 폐수 처리에 전기화학적 공정이 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Activated carbon (AC) was modified by ammonium persulphate or nitric acid, respectively. AC and the modified materials were used as catalyst supports. The oxygen groups were introduced in the supports during the modifications. All the supports were characterized by $N_2$-physisorption, Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and thermogravimetric analysis. Methanol synthesis catalysts were prepared through wet impregnation of copper nitrate and zinc nitrate on the supports followed by thermal decomposition. These catalysts were measured by the means of $N_2$-physisorption, X-ray diffraction, XPS, temperature programmed reduction and TEM tests. The catalytic performances of the prepared catalysts were compared with a commercial catalyst (CZA) in this work. The results showed that the methanol production rate of AC-CZ ($23mmol-CH_3OH/(g-Cu{\cdot}h)$) was higher, on Cu loading basis, than that of CZA ($9mmol-CH_3OH/(g-Cu{\cdot}h)$). We also found that the modification methods produced strong metal-support interactions leading to poor catalytic performance. AC without any modification can prompt the catalytic performance of the resulted catalyst.

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.

The nano-array of the vertically aligned rod-like particles grown on ZnO coated glass-substrates was obtained via hydrothermal process. ZnO thin film coatings were prepared on the glass substrates using a MOD (metallorganic deposition) dip-coating method with zinc chloride dihydrate as starting material and 2-ethylhexanol as solvent. ZnO nanorods were synthesized on the seeded substrates by hydrothermal method at $80^{\circ}C$ using zinc-nitrate hexahydrate as a Zn source and sodium hydroxide as a mineralizer. Under the hydrothermal condition, the rod-like nanocrystals were easily attaching on the already ZnO seeded (coated) glass surface. It has been shown that the hydrothermal synthesis parameters are key factors in the nucleation and growth of ZnO crystallites. By controlling of hydrothermal parameters, the ZnO particulate morphology could be easily tailored. Rod-shaped ZnO arrays on the glass substrates consisted of elongated crystals having 6-fold symmetry were predominantly developed at high Zn precursor concentration in the pH range 7~11.
