Recycled cenosphere, which is a hollow shaped particle from fly ash, has become attractive as a building material due to its light weight and excellent heat insulation and soundproof properties. In this paper, we investigated the effect of cenosphere size on the physical and optical properties. High brightness of cenosphere as raw material is required for a wide range of ceramics applications, particularly in fields of building materials and industrial ceramic tiles. Cenospheres were sorted by particle size; the microstructure was analyzed according to the cenosphere size distribution. Cenospheres were generally composed of quartz, mullite, and amorphous phase. Colour measurement corresponding to chemical composition revealed that the contents of iron oxide and carbon in the cenospheres were the major factors determining the brightness of the cenospheres.

Recently, there have been many efforts to establish suitable processes for recycling fly ash, which is produced in thermal power plants and which poses serious environmental problems. Use of fly ash as a major ingredient of ceramic tiles can increase fly ash utilization, as well as reduce the cost of raw materials in ceramic tile production. In this study, the effects of fly ash addition on ceramic tile properties such as bending strength, water absorption and porosity were investigated. A manufacturing process of ceramic tile was developed for utilization of fly ash with high carbon content. In this approach, it is important to hold the ceramic tiles at a temperature that is sufficient for carbon oxidation, before the pores supplying oxygen to the inside of the ceramic tile are sealed. Ceramic wall tiles were manufactured with 0-40wt% of fly ash addition. The water absorption and porosity of the fired body were slightly changed with increasing fly ash content up to 30wt% and decreased with greater amounts of fly ash addition. The bending strength of ceramic tile including 10wt% fly ash increased, reaching a level comparable to that of ceramic tile without fly ash.

In this research, a precipitation method was used to synthesize β-Ga2O3 powders with various particle morphologies and sizes under varying precipitation conditions, such as gallium nitrate concentration, pH, and aging temperature, using ammonium hydroxide and ammonium carbonate as precipitants. The obtained powders were characterized in detail by XRD, SEM, FT-IR, and TG-DSC. From the TG-DSC result, GaOOH phase was transformed to β-Ga2O3 at around 742˚C, and weight loss percent was about 14 % when NH4OH was used as a precipitant. Also, β-Ga2O3 formed at 749˚C and weight loss percent was about 15 % when (NH)2CO3 was used as a precipitant. XRD results showed that the obtained Ga2O3 had pure monoclinic phase in both cases. When (NH)2CO3 was used as a precipitant, the particle shape changed and became irregular. The range of particle size was about 500nm-4μm based on various concentrations of gallium nitrate solution with NH4OH. The particle size was increased from 1-2μm to 3-4μm and particle shape was changed from spherical to bar type by increasing aging temperature over 80˚C.

절화 나리의 고랭지 여름 재배시 정식시기에 따른 절화의 품질과 수확시기를 알아보고자 수행되었다. 정식시기를 5월 15일, 6월 5일, 6월 15일, 7월 15일로 나누어 정식하고, 종구원을 수입과 국내에서 양구 된 종구로 나누어 30% 차광망을 피복한 비가림하우스내에 정식하였다. 재배한 결과 5월 15일과 6월 25 일이 수량 및 품질이 가장 좋았으며 정식시기가 가장 늦은 7월 15일의 경우는 정식시기 시 고온에 영향 을 받아 수량 및 품질이 매우 떨어졌다. 전체적인 생육 및 수량에서 수입종구와 국산종구는 수입종구가 다소 우수하나 유의차는 없었다. 정식시기에 따른 수확기가 8월 중순경부터 10월 하순까지 계속되어 대 일 수출시 분산정식에 의한 월별 생산이 가능할 것으로 기대되었다. 그러나 7월 초순 이후의 고온기에는 차광 외에 다른 방법을 추가하여야 안정적인 생산이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 나리 하계 고온기 고품질 절화생산 및 경 영비 절감을 위한 도입 소구의 비대증식에 유리한 환경 조건을 찾아내기 위해 수행하였다. 종구비 절감을 위해 소구를 도입하여 양구하는데 효과적인 환경조건을 찾 아내고자 재배형태를 비가림, 망실, 무피복으로 나누고 다시 절화 재배시 많이 사용하는 30% 차광처리와 무처 리로 구분하여 시험하였다. 모든 처리구에서 비가림 재배 가 우수하였고 차광의 효과도 다소 있었다. 특히 양구에 있어서는 대관령 등의 고랭지에서 주간과 야간온도의 차이가 커서 동화산물의 전류 및 축적이 많아 평지에 비해 구비대가 유리하여 시비 및 관수방법에 따라 보통 3년 정도인 양구 기간을 단축할 수도 있을 것으로 기 대된다.

Various inorganic fillers improve the thermal conductivity and physical properties of organic products. Alumina has been used a representative filler in the heat radiation sheet for the heat radiation of electric device. The high filling rate of alumina increases the thermal conductivity and properties of products. We successfully developed the spherical alumina by flame fusion process using the oxygen burner with LPG fuel. In the high temperature flame (25003000) of oxygen burner, sprayed powders were melting and then rotated by carrier gas. This surface melting and rotation process made spherical alumina. Especially effects of chemical composition and particle size of stating materials on the melting behavior of starting materials in the flame and spheroidization ratio were investigated. As a result, spheroidization ratio of boehmite and aluminum hydroxide with endothermic reaction of dehydration process was lower than that of the sintered alumina without dehydration reaction.

Tantalum nitrides () have been developed to substitute the Cd based pigments for non-toxic red pigment. Various doping elements were doped to reduce the amount of high price Tantalum element used and preserve the red color tonality. Doping elements were added in the synthesizing process of precursor of amorphous tantalum oxides and then Tantalum nitrides doped with various elements were obtained by ammonolysis process. The average particle size of final nitrides with secondary phases was larger than the nitride without the secondary phases. Also secondary phases reduced the red color tonality of final products. On the other hand, final nitrides without secondary phase had orthorhombic crystal system and presented good red color. In other words, in the case of nitrides without secondary phases, doping elements made a solid solution of tantalum nitride. In this context, doping process controlled the ionic state of nitrides and the amount of oxygen/nitrogen in final nitrides affected the color tonality.
