Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) is considered a potentially attractive candidate for the visible-light-driven photodegradation of organic pollutants. In an effort to enhance their photocatalytic activities, BiVO4 nanofibers with controlled microstructures, grain sizes, and crystallinities are successfully prepared by electrospinning followed by a precisely controlled heat treatment. The structural features, morphologies, and photo-absorption performances of the asprepared samples are systematically investigated and can be readily controlled by varying the calcination temperature. From the physicochemical analysis results of the synthesized nanofiber, it is found that the nanofiber calcines at a lower temperature, shows a smaller crystallite size, and lower crystallinity. The photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine-B (RhB) reveals that the photocatalytic activity of the BiVO4 nanofibers can be improved by a thermal treatment at a relatively low temperature because of the optimization of the conflicting characteristics, crystallinity, crystallite size, and microstructure. The photocatalytic activity of the nanofiber calcined at 350oC for the degradation of RhB under visible-light irradiation exhibits a greater photocatalytic activity than the nanofibers synthesized at 400oC and 450oC.

The gas response characteristic toward C2H5OH has been demonstrated in terms of copper-vacancy concentration, hole density, and microstructural factors for undoped/Li(I)-doped CuO thin films prepared by sol-gel method. For the films, both concentrations of intrinsic copper vacancies and electronic holes decrease with increasing calcination temperature from 400 to 500 to 600 oC. Li(I) doping into CuO leads to the reduction of copper-vacancy concentration and the enhancement of hole density. The increase of calcination temperature or Li(I) doping concentration in the film increases both optical band gap energy and Cu2p binding energy, which are characterized by UV-vis-NIR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. The overall hole density of the film is determined by the offset effect of intrinsic and extrinsic hole densities, which depend on the calcination temperature and the Li(I) doping amount, respectively. The apparent resistance of the film is determined by the concentration of the structural defects such as copper vacancies, Li(I) dopants, and grain boundaries, as well as by the hole density. As a result, it is found that the gas response value of the film sensor is directly proportional to the apparent sensor resistance.

Synthesis of sub-micron 2SnO·(H2O) powders by chemical reduction process was performed at room temperature as function of viscosity of methanol solution and molecular weight of PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone). Tin(II) 2-ethylhexanoate and sodium borohydride were used as the tin precursor and the reducing agent, respectively. Simultaneous calcination and sintering processes were additionally performed by heating the 2SnO·(H2O) powders. In the synthesis of the 2SnO·(H2O) powders, it was possible to control the powder size using different combinations of the methanol solution viscosity and the PVP molecular weight. The molecular weight of PVP particularly influenced the size of the synthesized 2SnO·(H2O) powders. A holding time of 1 hr in air at 500˚C sufficiently transformed the 2SnO·(H2O) into SnO2 phase; however, most of the PVP (molecular weight: 1,300,000) surface-capped powders decomposed and was removed after heating for 1 h at 700˚C. Hence, heating for 1 h at 500˚C made a porous SnO2 film containing residual PVP, whereas dense SnO2 films with no significant amount of PVP formed after heating for 1 h at 700˚C.

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the effect of a high-energy milling (HEM) process on the particle morphology and the correlation between a thermal treatment and tetragonal/monoclinic nanostructured zirconia powders obtained by a precipitation process. To eliminate chloride residue ions from hydrous zirconia, a modified washing method was used. It was found that the used washing method was effective in removing the chloride from the precipitated gel. In order to investigate the effect of a pre-milling process on the particle morphology of the precipitate, dried Zr(OH)4 was milled using a HEM machine with distilled water. The particle size of the Zr(OH)4 powder exposed to HEM reduced to 100~150 nm, whereas that of fresh Zr(OH)4 powder without a pre-milling process had a large and irregular size of 100 nm~1.5 μm. Additionally, modified heat treatment process was proposed to achieve nano-sized zirconia having a pure monoclinic phase. It was evident that two-step calcining process was effective in perfectly eliminating the tetragonal phase, having a small average particle of ~100 nm with good uniformity compared to the sample calcined by a single-step process, showing a large average particle size of ~300 nm with an irregular particle shape and a broad particle size distribution. The modified method is considered to be a promising process for nano-sized zirconia having a fully monoclinic phase.

The quartz glasses were prepared by sintering of fumed silica powders and the effect of OH concentration on their surface on sintering was studied. Through the firing process, the fumed silica was crystallized from 1180 to region. The amount of hydroxyl group decreased with increase in calcination temperature and consequently the crystallization was prevented. A transparent quartz glass was obtained from fumed silica, previously calcined at , by the sintering at for 1 h.

Titanium dioxide particles are used as cosmetics, pigments, photocatalysts, adsorbents, catalytic supports, and sensors. The TiO2 particles were prepared by the precipitation in TTIP/Solvent mixtures and calcined at different temperatures. The resulting materials were characterized by XRD and SEM testing techniques. The TiO2 particles phase composition was determined by XRD ranging from amorphous to crystalline anatase and rutile largely proportional to the calcination temperature.

The firing reaction and calcination characteristics of the waste shellfish were examined for the future use as absorbent. The weight variation was measured according to thermal-decomposition using TGA and observed variation of the phase. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the sample were performed using XRD and the structural analysis, SEM. The results of TGA and XRD experiments showed that the almost all of the raw Corbicula Japonica and Ostrea virginjca were changed from calcite to lime by firing and calcination reaction. The result of SEM experiment showed that the plate type of the raw sample was changed to circle type, so the surface area ratio was increased. Above results suggested that waste shellfish were usable as absorbent in the viewpoint of the reuse of resource and the decrease of environmental pollution.

풍촌층에서 산출되는 다양한 유형의 고품위 석회석을 대상으로 하여 이들의 하소 특성을 규제하는 원광의 응용광물학적 영향 요인들을 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위해서 원광의 특징과 동일한 소성 조건 하에서 제조된 생석회의 응용광물학적 특성을 체계적으로 분석 및 계측하였고 그 결과를 원광의 광물 특성과 연계하여 비교 검토하였다. 석회석의 가열처리 단계에서 생석회로의 전이 과정은 입자의 경계부나 방해석 결정 내의 벽개 및 쌍정면 등과 같은 물성적 취약대에서 선택적으로 진행되며, 이 과정에서 원암의 모든 조직적 사항이 그대로 잔존된다. 또한 소성 시간이 길어짐에 따라 생석회 결정들의 결정 입도와 결정형의 발달이 심화되는 경향을 보인다. 풍촌층 고품위 석회석의 소성 특성에 영향을 주는 주된 규제 요인으로서 결정 입도, 벽개 및 쌍정의 발달 정도 및 조직적 사항이 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 특히 원암의 낮은 결정 입도와 치밀한 입간 조직 양상은 모든 소성특성에 있어서 유리한 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 벽개 및 쌍정면의 발달은 가열 과정 중 균열대를 형성시키기 때문에 생석회 공정에 있어서 부정적인 역할을 하는 것으로 평가된다. 따라서 생석회 용도로 사용되는 석회석으로는 가급적 낮은 결정 입도와 대리암의 조직을 보이는 광석이 상대적으로 유리할 것으로 여겨진다.

The nanosized TiO2 photocatalysts were prepared by the hydrolysis of TiCl4 and calcined at different temperatures. The resulting materials were characterized by TGA, DSC, XRD, and TEM testing techniques. XRD, TEM, and BET measurements indicated that the particle size of TiO2 was increased with rise of calcination temperature and surface area was decreased with rise of it. The prepared TiO2 photocatalysts were used for the photocatalytic degradation of congo red. The effects of calcination temperature, TiO2 loading, the initial concentration of congo red, and usage frequencies were investigated and the rate constants were determined by regressing the experimental data. Calcination is an effective treatment to increase the photoactivity of nanosized TiO2 photocatalysts resulting from the improvement of crystallinity. The optimum calcination temperature of the catalyst for the efficient degradation of congo red was found to be 400℃. The rate constant was decreased with increase in the initial concentration of congo red and increased with increase in the TiO2 loading. In the case of TiO2 photocatalysts, the photocatalytic activity wasn't greatly affected by the usage frequencies.
