금속기지 복합물은 구조용 재료로서 매우 우수한 성질을 지니고 있어 광범위하게 연구되어져 왔다. Al2O3와 SiC는 그들의 우수한 기계적 특성 때문에 일반적인 보강재로서 사용되어져 왔다. 그러나 이들 세라믹 보강재는 비싼 재조 비용 때문에 특별한 목적을 위해서만 한정되어 사용되어져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 우리는 Al 합금기지 복합물에서 SHS법에 의해 합성된 Al2O3-SiC 분말의 보강재로서의 응용 가능성을 살펴보았다. 또한 Al2O3단섬유를 Al기지 하이브리드 복합물에 적용하기 위하여 합성된 분말과 함께 첨가하였다. 25vol% 강화재의 복합물을 제조하기 위하여 용탕단조법을 사용하였다. 미세구조와 결정구조는 SEM, OM 그리고 XRD로 관찰하였고 압축시험과 마모시험으로 기계적인 성질들을 조사하였다.

HF purification performance of an ion exchange membrane(IEM) was evaluated with 0.5% HF spiked with 10ppb of Fe, Ni and Cu nitrates. The result show that after less than five turnovers through an IEM, the metallic impurity concentration drops below 1ppb. The decrease rate can be fitted to a model assuming the experimental tanks to be continuously stirred tank reaction and that the metallic impurity concentration after the IEM is a function of the single-pass purification efficiency of the membrane, the concentration before purification and the metals desorbed form the IEM. The Concentration after purification was investigated up to a cumulative Fe loading of 300ppb in the 23 liter recirculated loop. It increases linearly vs. cumulative loading and can be explained by the Langmuir theory resulting in a purification efficiency at the equilibrium of close to 99.5% in this loading regime.

We used Cu as a representative of metals to be directly adsorbed on the bare Si surface and studied its removal DHF, DHF-H2O2 and BHF solution. It has been found that Cu ion in DHF adheres on every Si wafer surface that we used in our study (n, p, n+, p+) especially on the n+-Si surface. The DHF-H2O2 solution is found to be effective in removing metals featuring high electronegativity such as Cu from the p-Si and n-Si wafers. Even when the DHF-H2O2 solution has Cu ions at the concentration of 1ppm, the solution is found effective in cleaning the wafer. In the case the n+-Si and p+-Si wafers, however, their surfaces get contaminated with Cu When Cu ion of 10ppb remains in the DHF-H2O2 solution. When BHF is used, Cu in BHF is more likely to contaminate the n+-Si wafer. It is also revealed that the surfactant added to BHF improve wettability onto p-Si, n-Si and p+-Si wafer surface. This effect of the surfactant, however, is not observed on the n+-Si wafer and is increased when it is immersed in the DHF-H2O2 solution for 10min. The rate of the metallic contamination on the n+-Si wafer is found to be much higher than on the other Si wafers. In order to suppress the metallic contamination on every type of Si surface below 1010atoms/cm2, the metallic concentration in ultra pure water and high-purity DHF which is employed at the final stage of the cleaning process must be lowered below the part per trillion level. The DHF-H2O2 solution, however, degrades surface roughness on the substrate with the n+ and p+ surfaces. In order to remove metallic impurities on these surfaces, there is no choice at present but to use the NH4OH-H2O2-H2O and HCl-H2O2-H2O cleaning.

Al-Cr-Zr nanocomposite metal powders were prepared by mechnical alloying (MA) in order to develop aircraft structure materials with lighter weight and lower cost than the conventional Ti and Ni alloys. The morphological changes and microstrutural evolution of Al-6wt.%Cr-3wt.%Zr nanocomposite metal powders during MA were investigated by SEM, XRD and TEM. The approximately 50m sized Al-Cr-Zr nanocomposite metal powders has been formed after 20 h of MA. The individual X-ray diffraction peaks of Al, Cr and Zr were broadened and peak intensitied were decreased as a function of MA time. The observed Al crystallite size by TEM was in the range of 20 nm, which is a simliar value calculated by Scherrer equation. The microhardness of Al-Cr-Zr nanocomposite metal powders increases alomost linearly with increase of the processing time, reaching a saturation hardness value of 127 kg/ after 20 h of processing. The intermetallic compound phase of in the matrix was identifed by XRD and TEM.

충남 홍성에 위치한 백동 사문암지역에서 암석 및 토양에 함유되어 있는 중금속 함량과 이 지역에서 생육하고있는 소나무 및 리기다소나무에 의해 식물체의 부위별로 흡수된 중금속 농도를 다른 모암지역(각섬석 편암 및 편마암)과 비교하여 측정하였다. 암석의 경우 사문암의 Ni, Cr, Co, Fe 농도가 각섬석 편암 및 편마암에 비해 더 높았다. 상부토양도 암석과 매우 유사한 결과를 나타내고 있어서, 특히 Ni, Cr, Co, Fe는 사문암토양이 가장 높았고, Zn과 Sc는 각섬석 편암이 더 높았다. 소나무의 평균 중금속 함량은 사문암지역에서 Ni, Cr, Co, Au, As, Sb. W농도가 가장 높았으며, 이 중 Ni, Cr, Co는 암석 및 토양내 높은 함량 변화와도 일치하였다. 그외에 Zn, Sc는 각섬석 편암지역이 높았으며, Fe, Mo는 편마암이 각각 높았다. 같은 사문암지역에 분포하는 두 수종을 비교하면 대부분의 원소에서 소나무보다 리기다소나무내 함량이 더 높았으며(Ni 및 W은 예외), 이로 보아 식물체로의 중금속 흡수량이 리기다소나무가 더 크다는 것을 알 수 있다. 식물체의 부위별로 비교해 보면 두 수종 모두 모암의 구별없이 대부분 원소에서 뿌리부분이 지상부보다 흡수량이 높았다. 사문암지역에서 대부분 원소(Ni, Cr, Co, Zn, Sc, Fe)의 상대적인 비(평균 식물체 함량/토양 함량)는 모두 사문암보다 각섬석 편암이나 편마암지역에서 더 높았다. 특히 편마암지역은 Zn을 제외하고 전 원소에서 가장 높게 나타났다.

transition metals(Cu, Co)/ZSM-5 catalyst was made by mechanical alloying method, and their microstructures and repeated usage-properties were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The conversions ability of NO in the catalyst was measured. A part of ZSM-5 in CO/ZSM-5 composite powders was amorphous and the amorphous phase became less stable with increasing Co content. Conversion ability of NO in 10Cu/ZSM-5 powders decreased from 89% to 12% and that in 10Co/ZSM-5 decreased from 22% to 17% by 7 times conversion tests.

The fabrication process and properties of SiC particulate preforms with high volume fraction above 50% were investigated. The SiC particulate preforms were fabricated by vacuum-assisted extraction method after wet mixing of SiC particulates of 48 in diameter, as inorganic binder, cationic starch as organic binder and polyacrylamide as dispersant in distilled water. The SiC particulate preforms were consolidated by vacuum-assisted extraction, and were followed by drying and calcination. The drying processes were consisted with natural drying at for 36 hrs and forced drying at 10 for 12 hrs in order to prevent the micro-cracking of SiC particulates preform. The compressive strengths of SiC particulate preforms were dependent on the inorganic binder content, calcination temperature and calcination time. The compressive strength of SiC preform increased from 0.47 MPa to 1.79 MPa with increasing the inorganic binder content from 1% to 4% due to the increase of flocculant between the interfaces of SiC particulates. The compressive strength of SiC preform increased from 0.90 MPa to 3.21 MPa with increasing the calcination temperatures from 800 to 120 under identical calcination time of 4hrs. The compressive strength of SiC preform increased from 0.92 to 1.95 MPa with increasing the calcination time from 2 hrs to f hrs at calcination temperature of 110. The increase of compressive strength of SiC preform with increasing the calcination temperature and time is due to the formation of crystobalite phase at the interfaces of SiC particulates.
