WO3에 NiO를 첨가하여 제조한 후막형 시편의 미세구조와 전기적 성질에 대해 연구하였다. NiO 첨가에 따른 WO3의 결정립 성장이 억제되었고, 입도 분포도 균일하였으나 첨가량에 따른 결정립 크기 변화정도는 작았다. 산소 분압 감소로 WO3의 전도성은 증가하였고, NiO 첨가에 의해 고용한계 이하에서는 전도성이 증가하였고, 이상에서는 전도성이 감소하였다. 온도 증가에 따라 외인성 (extrinsic) 구간에서는 전도성 변화가 적었고, 고온의 진성 (intrinsic) 구간에서는 전도도가 급격히 증가하였으며, 이들의 중간 온도에서는 산소흡착에 따라 전도도가 감소하였다.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the environmental impacts of recovery of valuable metals from the desulfurizing spent catalyst. Molybdenum, vanadium and nickel widely used in the area of catalysis. But the demand of these metals is full filled by industries. Every year, more than 18,000 tons spent catalysts are discarded. In most countries, spent catalyst is classified as a harmful waste. Thus, metal recovery from spent catalyst has been processed. The recovery process of molybdenum, vanadium and nickel from spent catalyst was mainly carried out wet process. However, this process are not suitable for economics and environmental aspects. Because environmental costs for removal of sulfur in the spent catalyst is high and huge amount of industrial wastewater occurs. Thus, it is necessary to develop a process which is efficient and does not cause pollution than the wet process. Thus, we have studied life cycle assessment about the dry process for the recovery of valuable metals.
