Separation of naphthalene from naphthalene and 2-methylnaphthalene mixture has been studied by layered melt and solution crystallization using ethylalcohol. Purity and yield of naphthalene depended mainly on the cooling rate: The effective distribution coefficient (Keff) as the degree of impurity removal was observed to decrease with the decreasing in cooling rate. Purity of naphthalene can be enhanced to 5~7% by melt crystallization using 90% naphthalene and the purity of naphthalene can be obtained to be 99% up by solution crystallization.

In T-mixer crystallization, supersaturation is generated by mixing of another solvent or non-solvent in order to reduce the solubility of the compound. Also, T-mixer is a type of continuous crystallization. In order to induce micro-mixing, two solutions were mixed rapidly by T-mixer, which formed high supersaturation. As the results, mean size of HMX crystals decreased with increasing de-supersaturation rate (Rs). Eventually, HMX particles ranging from 0.5 to 5μm can be obtained by T-mixer crystallization. Mixing efficiency in T-mixer increased with increasing Rs values. In T-mixer crystallization without surfactants, homogeneous nucleation was formed when S and Rs was over 54 and 1.6×103/sec. In T-mixer crystallization with surfactants, homogeneous nucleation was formed when S and Rs was over 26 and 7.4/sec.

The hydrogen sorption speeds of amorphous alloy and its crystallized alloys were evaluated at room temperature. amorphous alloy was prepared by ball milling. The hydrogen sorption rate of the partially crystallized alloy was higher than that of amorphous. The enhanced sorption rate of partially crystallized alloy was explained in terms of grain refinement that has been known to promote the diffusion into metallic bulk of the gases. The grain refinement could be obtained by crystallization of amorphous phase resulting in the observed increase in sorption property.

We report the crystallization and magnetic properties of non-equilibrium alloy powders produced by rod-milling as well as by new chemical leaching. X-ray diffractometry, transmission electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and vibrating sample magnetometry were used to characterize the as-milled and leached specimens. After 400 h or 500 h milling, only the broad peaks of nano bcc crystalline phases were detected in the XRD patterns. The crystallite size, the peak and the crystallization temperatures increased with increasing Fe. After being annealed at for 1 h for as-milled alloy powders, the peaks of bcc are observed. After being annealed at for 1 h for leached specimens, these non-equi-librium phases transformed into fcc Cu and phases for the x=0.25 specimen, and into bcc phases for both the x=0.50 and the x=0.75 specimens. The saturation magnetization decreased with increasing milling time for alloy powders. On cooling the leached specimens from ,\;the magnetization first sharply increase at about for x=0.25, x=0.50, and x=0.75 specimens, repectively.

당 대사에 관여하는 Pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase (PDP)는 해당과정에서의 대사 산물인 pyruvate를 acetyl CoA로 만들어 구연산 회로로 진입시켜주는 효소인 pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC)의 활성을 조절하는 중요한 효소이다. PDP의 catalytic subunit는 PDC의 dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase(E2), PDP regulatory subunit (PDPr), 그리고 칼슘 결합 도메인 등으로 구성되어 있는 것으로 추측되어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 PDP 단백질을 분리정제하고 결정화 하고자 하였다. PDP는 catalytic subunit(PDPc, Mr 52,600 Da)과, regulatory subunit (PDPr 95,600 Da)으로 구성되어 있으며 칼슘 존재하에 PDPc는 dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase(E2) component와 결합하여 기질인 인산 E1 component의 탈 인산화율을 증가시킨다. PDPc는 intrinsic 칼슘 결합부위를 가지며 두 번째 칼슘 부위는 E2 존재 하에 형성된다. 이러한 특이한 상호반응을 이용한 GSH-Sepharose-GST-L2 matrix를 이용하여 약 1000 U/㎎의 specific activity를 갖는 순수 PDPc를 약 80%의 yeild로 얻어 결정화에 사용하였다.

This paper reports the results of an investigation into the effect of Cu additions upon the nano-crystallization behaviour of an Al-Y-Ni alloy. 1 at.% Cu was added to a base alloy of Al/sub 88/Y₄Ni/sub 8/ either by substitution for Al to form Al/sub 87/Y₄Ni/sub 8/Cu₁, or by substitution for Ni to form Al/sub 88/Y₄Ni/sub 7/Cu₁. Consistent with previous findings in the literature, the substitution of Cu for Al was found to increase the thermal stability of the amorphous phase whereas the substitution of Cu for Ni was found to decrease its thermal stability. Comparing the microstructures of these alloys after heat treatment to produce equivalent volume fractions of Al nanocrystals showed average grain sizes of 14 nm, 12 nm and 9 nm for the alloys Al/sub 88/Y₄Ni/sub 8/, Al/sub 87/Y₄Ni/sub 8/Cu₁respectively. The effect of Cu in refining the size of the nanocrystals was attributed to enhanced nucleation increasing the number density of the nanocrystals, rather than diffusion limited or interface limited growth.

고온 안정성의 유리계로 알려진 회토류 알루미나 규산염계중, Nd2O3-Al2O3-SiO2(NdAS)계 유리의 응용범위를 찾고자 결정화유리를 제조하여 그 물성의 특성을 평가하였다. NdAS에 결정화제로 TiO2를 첨가하여 내부결정화를 유도하여 생성된 결정화유리에 대하여 결정상과 잔류유리의 물리적, 열적, 기계적 물성을 측정하였다. NdAS-TiO2유리계는 열처리와 조성 조건에 따라 생성된 표면 및 내부결정상은 같은 결정상을 갖는 것으로 X선회절의 결과로 확인되었으나, 알려 있지 않은 결정상으로 내부결정의 경우, 원자구성비는 Nd4.6Si7.2Al4.0Ti2.4O32이었다. 결정화유리의 선팽창계수는 5.4~6.2×10-6/˚C 정도로 경정성장이 일어날수록 증가되었다. 결정화유리중의 결정상의 경도와 탄성계수는각 각 12GPa, 220Gpa으로 나타난 것을 고려한다면 내부결정화에 의한 결정화유리의 물성은 고온 구조용 재료로 활용도가 넓을 것으로 본다.

Ni(Fe)Al powders containing a homogeneous distribution of the in-situ formed AIN and dispersoids have been produced by mechanical alloying process in a controlled atmosphere using high energy attrition mill. The powders have been successfully consolidated by hot extrusion process. The phase information investigated by TEM and XRD analysis reveals that Fe can be soluble up to 20% to the NiAl phase () at room temperature after MA process. Subsequent thermomechanical treatment under specific condition has been tried to induce secondary recrystallization (SRx) to improve high temperature properties, however, the clear evidence of SRx was not obtained in this material. Mechanical properties in term of strength at room temperature as well as at high temperatures have been improved by the addition pf AIN, and the room temperature ductility has been shown to be improved after heat treatment, presumably due to the precipitation of second phase of in this material.
