본 연구는 현재 올레핀/파라핀 분리에서 사용되는 극저온 분리법을 대체하기 위한 촉진수송 분리막에 대한 연구이 다. 촉진수송 분리 막을 상업화하기 위해서는 비용 절감 또한 매우 중요한 요소이다. 하지만 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있는 AgBF4 는 상대적으로 고가인 은 염이기 때문에 이를 대체하기 위해 비교적 저렴한 AgCF3SO3를 이용하여 PEBAX-2533/AgCF3SO3/ Al(NO3)3 복합막을 제조하였다. 분리막의 특성은 SEM, FT-IR, RAMAN을 통해 분석되었으며, 이번 연구를 통해 고분자 매 트릭스가 장기 안정성에 영향을 준다는 사실을 확인하였다.

In this paper, AgCl/Ag3PO4/diatomite photocatalyst is successfully synthesized by microemulsion method and anion in situ substitution method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) are used to study the structural and physicochemical characteristics of the AgCl/Ag3PO4/diatomite composite. Using rhodamine B (RhB) as a simulated pollutant, the photocatalytic activity and stability of the AgCl/Ag3PO4/diatomite composite under visible light are evaluated. In the AgCl/Ag3PO4/diatomite visible light system, RhB is nearly 100 % degraded within 15 minutes. And, after five cycles of operation, the photocatalytic activity of AgCl/Ag3PO4/diatomite remains at 95 % of the original level, much higher than that of pure Ag3PO4 (40 %). In addition, the mechanism of enhanced catalytic performance is discussed. The high photocatalytic performance of AgCl/Ag3PO4/diatomite composites can be attributed to the synergistic effect of Ag3PO4, diatomite and AgCl nanoparticles. Free radical trapping experiments are used to show that holes and oxygen are the main active species. This material can quickly react with dye molecules adsorbed on the surface of diatomite to degrade RhB dye to CO2 and H2O. Even more remarkably, AgCl/Ag3PO4/diatomite can maintain above 95 % photo-degradation activity after five cycles.

In this study, we fabricate a thin- and dense-BCuP-5 coating layer, one of the switching device multilayers, through a plasma spray process. In addition, the microstructure and macroscopic properties of the coating layer, such as hardness and bond strength, are investigated. Both the initial powder feedstock and plasma-sprayed BCuP-5 coating layer show the main Cu phase, Cu-Ag-Cu3P ternary phases, and Ag phase. This means that microstructural degradation does not occur during plasma spraying. The Vickers hardness of the coating layer was measured as 117.0 HV, indicating that the fine distribution of the three phases enables the excellent mechanical properties of the plasma-sprayed BCuP-5 coating layer. The pull-off strength of the plasma-sprayed BCuP-5 coating layer is measured as 16.5 kg/cm2. Based on the above findings, the applicability of plasma spray for the fabrication process of low-cost multi-layered electronic contact materials is discussed and suggested.

In this work, economical, facile and eco-friendly technology for gas separation was utilized, especially for propane and propylene. This materials are commonly used in petrochemical process as principle and base sources. In present state, adsorption or cryogenic distillation method are used for their separation, however, intensive energy cost and complex process are needed. In particular, we fabricated polymeric composite membrane with high scalability, propylene and propane gases are effectively separated. Whats more, Ag ion is pivotal materials with pi complexation effect. MgO nanosheet was incorporated for enhancing and activating Ag ion in polymer composite membrane. Lastly, Ag-friend polymer matrix was used for getting higher perm-selecetivity.

올레핀/파라핀 분리를 위해 poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO)/Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs)(전구체: AgBF4)/p-benzoquinone (p-BQ) 복합막이 제조되었으며, 이 복합체 분리막의 성능은 100시간까지 선택도 10과 투과도 15 GPU로 유지되는 것이 관찰 되었다. 분리막의 성능이 100시간까지 유지할 수 있었던 이유는 p-BQ의 첨가로 인해 Ag ion이 안정적으로 Ag nanoparticles 로 형성될 수 있었을 뿐더러 전자수용체인 p-BQ으로 인해 표면이 부분 양극성화 되어 올레핀 운반체로서 역할을 성공적으로 수행한 결과라 생각되었다. 본 연구에서는 Ag nanoparticles의 전구체로 사용된 AgBF4의 가격이 고가이기 때문에 가격 측면에서 유리한 AgNO3 Ag nanoparticles의 전구체로 사용하여 실험을 진행하였다. 그 결과로서 AgNO3의 경우에는 앞선 AgBF4 과는 다르게 안정적으로 은 나노입자가 형성되지 못하고 이로 인하여 좋은 성능을 내지 못하는 것으로 분석되었다.

올레핀/파라핀 분리를 위해 Poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO)/AgBF4/Al(NO3)3/Ag2O 복합막이 제조되었으며, Ag2O가 도 입되었을 때, 복합체 분리막의 초기성능은 선택도 13.7과 투과도 21.7 GPU로 관찰되었다. PEO/AgBF4/Al(NO3)3 분리막의 성 능(선택도 13와 투과도 7.5 GPU)에 비해서 초기성능이 증가한 이유는 Ag2O의 첨가로 인한 Ag ion의 활성도 증가로 생각되 었다. 하지만 시간에 따른 성능저하 현상이 관찰되었는데 이는 고분자 matrix인 PEO 때문인 것으로 생각되었다. PEO 고분자 는 Ag2O 입자를 안정화 시킬 수 없기 때문에 용매가 증발하면서 Ag2O 입자끼리 뭉치게 되고, Ag2O가 barrier 역할을 하게 돼서 시간이 지나면 투과도가 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다.

This study was performed to obtain high conversion efficiency of NH3 and minimize generation of nitrogen oxides using metal-supported catalyst with Ag : Cu ratio. Through structural analysis of the prepared catalyst with Ag : Cu ratio ((10-x)Ag–xCu (0≤ x ≤6)), it was confirmed that the specific surface area was decrease with increasing metal content. A prepared catalysts showed Type Ⅱ adsorption isotherms regardless of the ratio Ag : Cu of metal content, and crystalline phase of Ag2O, CuO and CuAl2O was observed by XRD analysis. In the low temperature(150∼200 ℃), a conversion efficiency of AC_10 recorded the highest(98%), whereas AC_5 (Ag : Cu = 5 : 5) also showed good conversion efficiency(93.8%). However, in the high temperature range, the amounts of by-products(NO, NO2) formed with AC_5 was lower than that of AC_10. From these results, It is concluded that AC_5 is more environmentally and economically suitable.

This paper introduces an effect of a preparing -Ag composite on its mechanical properties and microstructure. In present study, -Ag was prepared by reduction-deposition route and wetting dispersive milling method, respectively. Two type of Ag powders (nano Ag and micron Ag size, respectively) were dispersed into powder during wetting dispersive milling in D.I. water. Each sample was sintered at for 2hr in atmosphere, and then several mechanical tests and analysis of microstructure were carried out by bending test, hardness, fracture toughness and fracture surface microstructure. As for microstructure, the Ag coated showed homogeneously dispersed Ag in in where pore defect did not appear. However, -nano Ag and -micro Ag composite appeared Ag aggregation and its pore defect, which carried out low mechanical property and wide error function value.

Nano-sized TiO2-60 wt% SrO composite powders were synthesized by a sol-gel method using titanium isopropoxide and Sr(OH)2 · 8H2O as precursors. 3, -5, -7 wt%Ag spot-coated TiO2-60 wt% SrO composite powders were synthesized by a Ag electroless deposition method using TiO2-60 wt% SrO composite powders calcined at 1050˚C, which mainly exhibited the SrTiO3phase. However, a small number of rutile TiO2, Sr2TiO4 and SrO2 phases were also detected. In the Ag spot-coated powders synthesized by electroless deposition, nano-sized particles about 5-25 nm in diameter adhered to the TiO2-60 wt% SrO composite powders. The photocatalytic activity of Ag spot-coated TiO2-SrO and TiO2-SrO composite powders for degradation of phenol showed that all of TiO2-SrO composite powders were highly active under UV light irradiation. 7 wt%Ag spot-coated TiO2-60wt.%SrO composite powders had a relatively higher photocatalytic activity than did TiO2-SrO composite powders under visible light.

Silver coated copper composite powders were prepared by electroless plating method by controlling the activation and deposition process variables such as feeding rate of silver ions solution, concentration of reductant and molar ratio of activation solution at room temperature. The characteristics of the product were verified by using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic absorption (A.A.). It is noted that completely cleansing the copper oxide layers and protecting the copper particles surface from hydrolysis were important to obtain high quality Ag-Cu composite powders. The optimum conditions of Ag-Cu composite powder synthesis were molar ratio 4, concentration of reductant 15g/l and feeding rate of silver ions solution 2 ml/min.

YBa2Cu3O7-y (123) 초전도체에서 은 입자의 미세분산을 얻고자 말릭산을 사용한 발화합성과 고상반응법으로 123와 123-Ag 복합 초전도분말을 제조하였다. 발화합성분말을 원료로 사용할 시 마이크론 미만의 미세한 123 분말과 은 분말의 복합체를 얻을 수 있었다. 원료로 사용된 산화은(Ag2O) 분말은 발화합성과정 중금속 은으로 환원되었다. 원료분말에 첨가된 금속 은에 의한 반응 물질간의 확산 촉진으로 123상이 단시간내에 생성되었고 입자성장도 촉진되었다. 발화합성법으로 제조한 시편은 기계적 혼합공정으로 제조한 시편에 비해 은 입자들은 미세하게 분산시킬 수 있어서 초전도체의 임계전류밀도가 향상되었다.

은(Ag)의 첨가가 YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) 고온초전도체의 미세조직, 기계적 및 전기적 성질에 미치는 효과를 연구하였다. 소량의 Af(5, 10, 15 vol.%)는 각각 금속분말상태와 질산염인 AgNO3초전도체의 강도와 인성값이 Ag의 함량이 증가할수록 높게 나타났으며, 이는 Ag입자에 의해 야기되는 강화기루에 의한 것으로 생각된다. 또한 Ag를 질산염의 분말상태로 첨가하여 만든 YBCO-Ag 복합재료가 금속분말상태로 첨가하여 만들었을 때보다 강도 및 인성값이 더 우수한 것으로 나타났다. AgNO3를 첨가한 복합체가 상대적으로 더 우수한 기계적 성질을 가지는 것은 Ag 입자가 더 미세하고 균일하게 분포되었기 때문으로 판단된다. Ag 첨가로 인해 YBCO 복합초전도체의 전류밀도값은 미세하게 증가하는 것으로 관찰되었다.
