Oxide coatings are formed on die-cast AZ91D Mg alloy through an environmentally friendly plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO) process using an electrolytic solution of NaAlO2, KOH, and KF. The effects of PEO condition with different duty cycles (10 %, 20 %, and 40 %) and frequencies(500 Hz, 1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz) on the crystal phase, composition, microstructure, and micro-hardness properties of the oxide coatings are investigated. The oxide coatings on die-cast AZ91D Mg alloy mainly consist of MgO and MgAl2O4 phases. The proportion of each crystalline phase depends on various electrical parameters, such as duty cycle and frequency. The surfaces of oxide coatings exhibit as craters of pancake-shaped oxide melting and solidification particles. The pore size and surface roughness of the oxide coating increase considerably with increase in the number of duty cycles, while the densification and thickness of oxide coatings increase progressively. Differences in the growth mechanism may be attributed to differences in oxide growth during PEO treatment that occur because the applied operating voltage is insufficient to reach breakdown voltage at higher frequencies. PEO treatment also results in the oxide coating having strong adhesion properties on the Mg alloy. The micro-hardness at the cross-section of oxide coatings is much higher not only compared to that on the surface but also compared to that of the conventional anodizing oxide coatings. The oxide coatings are found to improve the micro-hardness with the increase in the number of duty cycles, which suggests that various electrical parameters, such as duty cycle and frequency, are among the key factors controlling the structural and physical properties of the oxide coating.

Embedding of active devices in a printed circuit board has increasingly been adopted as a future electronic technology due to its promotion of high density, high speed and high performance. One responsible technology is to embedded active device into a dielectric substrate with a build-up process, for example a chipin-substrate (CiS) structure. In this study, desmear treatment was performed before Cu metallization on an FR-4 surface in order to improve interfacial adhesion between electroless-plated Cu and FR-4 substrate in Cu via structures in CiS systems. Surface analyses using atomic force microscopy and x-ray photoemission spectroscopy were systematically performed to understand the fundamental adhesion mechanism; results were correlated with peel strength measured by a 90o peel test. Interfacial bonding mechanism between electrolessplated Cu and FR-4 substrate seems to be dominated by a chemical bonding effect resulting from the selective activation of chemical bonding between carbon and oxygen through a rearrangement of C-C bonding rather than from a mechanical interlocking effect. In fact, desmear wet treatment could result in extensive degradation of FR-4 cohesive strength when compared to dry surface-treated Cu/FR-4 structures.

This paper deals with the effects of the surfactant and preplate process (sensitization and activation) on electroless copper plating on carbon nano-fiber (CNF). Ultrasonic irradiation was applied both during dispersion of CNF and during electroless plating containing preplate process. The dispersion of CNF and flatness of the plated copper film were discussed based on the changes in surfactant concentration and preplate process time. It was clearly shown that high concentration of surfactant and long time of preplate process could promote the agglomeration of CNF and uneven copper plating on CNF.

Pure Mg and Mg-6wt.%Al alloy were coated by the plasma electrolytic oxidation with various coating times and the microstructural and mechanical characteristics of the coatings were investigated. The coatings on pure Mg and Mg-6wt.%Al alloy consisted of MgO and Mg2SiO4. The surface roughness and thickness of the coatings became larger as the coating time increased. The coatings on the Mg-6wt.%Al alloy were more uniform and thicker than those on pure Mg. The microhardness and friction coefficient of the coatings increased progressively as the coating time increased. In addition, the coatings on the Mg-6wt.%Al alloy compared to pure Mg showed improved microhardness and a better friction coefficient.

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) treatment was performed on cast Mg-6 wt%Al alloy solution-treated at 693K for 16h and aged at 498K. The surface roughness, thickness, micro-hardness, wear and corrosion properties of coatings on solution-treated and aged Mg-6 wt%Al alloy were investigated. The coatings on aged Mg-6 wt%Al alloy had thinner layer and lower micro-hardness and wear resistance than the solution-treated Mg-6 wt%Al alloy. As the aging time increased, the thickness of coatings decreased while the surface roughness was almost no changed. In addition, the micro-hardness and wear property of coatings decreased with increasing the aging time unlike the uncoated Mg-6 wt%Al alloy showing the peak micro-hardness and the best wear property after aging for 16 h. However, the coatings on Mg-6 wt%Al alloy peak-aged for 16h revealed the best corrosion resistance in 3.5% NaCl solution, which was explained based on the microstructural characteristics.

For the effective treatment of shipboard sewage continuously, a non-diaphragm electrolytic treatment device using DSA type insoluble electrode, Ti/IrO2, anode and H-C metal cathode, was studied. The most effective electrolytic conditions were obtained when cell clearance, 6mm, pH 5-6 and the concentration of seawater, more than 20% as batch test results. The COD removal rate was varied in logarithmic function, showed as C=Coe-KE and the required current was E = A/QCo [A.min/mgCOD]. When the COD removal effeciency was more than 90%, the electrolytic reaction constant was 0.02.

Each factor for the most effective electrolytic reaction in treating shipboard sewage was enhanced by means of batch electrolyitc reactor using DSA electrode. The effective clearance was 6mm and pH was 5-6. In such case, more than 20% of sea water concentration was needed to attain 90% of COD removal rate. The suspended solids was effectively removed by electro-floatation in proportion as charged current density. The nitrogen and posporous were effectively removed in the electrolytic device when mixed seawater.

An innovative batch electrolytic system consisted of electrolytic basin, which was equipped with DSA(Dimensionally Stable Anode) type insoluble electrode, Ti/IrO2 anode and H-C metal cathode, and flotation separator was developed for the efficient treatment of shipboard emulsified oily wastewater. The electorod cleance and current density of elecrolytic basin to ensure maximum treatment efficiency of oily wastewater was evaluated as 6 mm, 3 A/dm3, respectively. The electrolytic efficiency of oily wastewater was affected by the operationtemperature, and it means that the temperature controller to ensure the stabiity of the process is required. The conductivity in the electrolytic basin was increased with the percentage of sea water in the oily wastewater, and over 90% of treatment efficiency of oily wastewater could be obtained at 7% of sea water. The oil removal rate was increased according to the increase of the quantity of electricity, and the maximum value of electrilyic rate constant was 288 mgoil/A.min. The information obtained from this study might be used for development of an efficient continuous electrolytic system treating the emulsified oily wastewater.

The effluent from conventional nightsoil treatment plants contains nutrients, color and chlorides, in addition to residual organics and suspended solids, and thereby causes substantial pollution problems in receving water resources. In order to verify the usefullness of electrolysis in removing those residual pollutants from such conventional nightsoil treatment plant effluent, a bench scale experiment was conducted using sufficiently dilluted human nightsoil as experiment feeds. The result showed mean removals of 45% of total phosphorus and 85% of color, in addition 87% of residual BOD, 47% of residual COD and 85% of residual SS. The optimum electric current was found to be 15 ampere and the optimum hydraulic residence time 21/2 hour.

AlF3의 첨가는 전착물 내 잔류염 양을 줄이고, 지르코늄 회수를 위한 전류효율을 향상시키는 데 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

In the industrial wastewater that occupies a large proportion of river pollution, the wastewater generated in textile, leather, and plating industries is hardly decomposable. Though dyeing wastewater has generally been treated using chemical and biological methods, its characteristics cause treatment efficiencies such as chemical oxygen demand (COD) and suspended solids (SS) to be reduced only in the activated sludge method. Currently, advanced oxidation technology for the treatment of dyeing wastewater is being developed worldwide. Electro-coagulation is highly adapted to industrial wastewater treatment because it has a high removal efficiency and a short processing time regardless of the biodegradable nature of the contaminant. In this study, the effects of the current density and the electrolyte condition on the COD removal efficiency in dyeing wastewater treatment by using electro-coagulation were tested with an aluminum anode and a stainless steel cathode. The results are as follows: ① When the current density was adjusted to 20 A/m2, 40 A/m2, and 60 A/m2 under the condition without electrolyte, the COD removal efficiency at 60 min was 62.3%, 72.3%, and 81.0%, respectively. ② The removal efficiency with NaCl addition was 7.9% higher on average than that with non-addition at all current densities. ③ The removal efficiency with Na2SO4 addition was 4.7% higher on average than that with non-addition at all current densities.

각종 기계 가공 산업체에서 발생하는 절삭유 폐수는 성상이 다양하며 일반적으로 화학적 특성 및 기름방울의 크기에 따라 유화 되지 않은 상태의 부상유, 용해성분산유 및 유화상태의 에멀젼오일 등으로 나눌 수 있으며, 작업 환경에서의 노출은 피부암, 위암, 췌장암, 후두암, 직장암, 담낭암과 강한 연관성을 갖고 있는 것으로 보고되고 있어 암을 유발 시킬 수 있는 발암성물질로 의심되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 절삭유를 처리하는 일반적 방법으로 물리적, 화학적 또는 물리･화학적 방법 등과 같은 처리방법이 있으며, 유화되지 않은 부상유는 주로 중력 분리법으로 처리되며, 처리방법에 따라, 유수분리기는 Slop Tank, API(americal petroleum institute) 유수분리기, CPI분리기(corrugated plate interceptor) 등으로 오일의 비중 차에 의하여 분리하여 처리된다. 그라나, 이러한 방법들은 대부분 처리 효율이 낮거나 효율이 높으면 많은 비용이 소요되는 것으로 새로운 처리 방법이 요구된다. 본 연구는 에너지를 저감할 수 있는 방안으로 실험실 규모의 전기분해 장치를 이용한 수용성절삭유 처리를 위하여 단극전해조와 충진복극전해조에서의 전류 및 전력효율을 비교분석하였다. 이때 전극 간격은 10mm로 총 6개의 전극을 설치하였으며, 전압은 7V로 정전압을 유지하며 충진복극전해조의 충진물로 활성탄을 75% 충진하여 60분 동안 전해 실험하였다. 단극전해조와 충진복극전해조에서의 수용성절삭유의 전해특성에 따른 전류효율은 단극 전해조에 의한 전류효율은 13.1%였으며 GAC에 의한 충진복극전해조의 전류효율은 20.8%로 7.8% 전류 효율이 좋았으며, 수용성절삭유 CODCr 오염물질당 전력효율은 단극전해조가 874 mgCODCr/Whr, 충진복극전해조가 1,386 mgCODCr/Whr로 단극 전해조보다 높은 전력효율을 나타내었다. 이상의 실험 결과 단극전해조에 의한 수용성절삭유보다 충진복극전해조에 의한 처리가 전류효율 및 전력효율에서도 뛰어나므로 본 연구에서는 충진복극전해조가 수용성절삭유처리에 에너지 효율 면에서 좋은 것으로 사료된다.
