To investigate the pyrolytic and anatomical characteristics of Korean softwood, Pinus densi-flora, Pinus rigida and Larix leptolepis, and hardwood, Acer palntatum, Fraxinus rhynchophylla and Quercus variabilis, chemical components analysis, TG-DTA (Thermogravimetric Analysis & Differential Thermal Analysis), MBA (Methylene Blue Adsorption) test and SEM observation were carried out. For TG-DTA, samples were carbonized up to $800^{\circ}C$ at the heating rate of $10^{\circ}C$/min under $N_2$ flows 1 l/min using thermogravimetric analyzer. Chemical component analysis of all samples resulted in typical contents of major wood component. In TG-DTA results, softwood showed higher char yield than hardwood, and lignin displayed the highest char yield among the major wood components. All samples showed typical TGA, DTG and DTA curves for wood pyrolysis except a few differences between softwood and hardwood. Content of lignin influenced its pyrolysis characteristics, while molecular structure of lignin affected not only the weight loss but also the yield of char. In MBA test results, MBA of softwoods was higher than that of hardwoods. Char of Pinus densiflora showed the highest MBA, but its degree was lower than activated carbon or fine charcoal about 23 and 4 times, respectively. SEM observation showed carbonization process preserves wood structure and retain the micro-structure of wood fibers.

This study was performed to develop a method for quantitative analysis obtaining the amount of calcium carbonate minerals formed when Ca salts biomimetically reacted with carbon dioxide. There were two methods compared; 1) volumetric calcimeter method that determining the amount of released carbon dioxide after calcium carbonate minerals were acidified by 4N HCl and 2) Thermogravimetry-Differential Thermal Analysis (TG-DTA) adopting differential decomposition temperature breaking-up the structural link within calcium carbonate minerals. The comparisons were made by batch experiment (i.e., biocalcification process) along with control (i.e., nominal concentration of $CaCO_3$ prepared). For the control, TG-DTA took a minor root mean square deviation (RMSD) of 1.1~5.9 mg, whereas volumetric calcimeter exposed a greater RMSD of 28.3 mg. For the biocalcification, the amount of $CaCO_3$ was more precisely obtained for TG-DTA rather than that of volumetric calcimeter. It was decided that TG-DTA was more successfully used for quantitative analysis to observe the amount of calcium carbonate minerals derived from biocalcification.

This study was investigated the environment of waste shells such as oyster, cockle and paphia on southern shore in korea and established the recycling method to prevent the environmental pollution, etc. The waste shells were reclaimed at public shore illegally or leaved on the surroundings of shore. The origin mechanism, XRD and TG-DTA analyses were performed to effective recycling of waste shells, and the optimal recycling method was preparation of the calcium carbonate. In this work, calcium carbonate and lime fertilizer of granular shape were prepared using the waste shell.

The layered basic zinc p-toluenesulfonates has been directly synthesized by the surface modification. The chemical formula of layered basic zinc p-toluenesulfonate is determined by CHNS and TG-DTA. From the X-ray diffraction data and the guest size, the orientation of the p-toluenesulfonate onto the zinc hydroxide layer is determined. The molecular plane of the p-toluenesulfonate lies perpendicular to the zinc hydroxide layers.

This research focused on large variation of the result of Ca(OH)$_2$ quantity by TG/DTA test or micro-pore size by MIP test. Assume that sample postion has influenced on experimental result, therefore, relationship between sampling position and the experimental result was studied As a result of the research, it is obvious that samples from inside(P-3) shows more Ca(OH)$_2$ and less porosity than samples from outside(P-1).

In In this study, we measured the relative density and the compressive strength in order to select the appropriate W/B for the ultra-high strength concrete development. If W/B is lowered than the W/B of highest relative density, it was confirmed that the strength is lowered. However, if water is increased than the W/B, the relative density is decreased compressive strength was similar. The selection of the W/B of the lower than the highest relative density is not appropriate. Appropriate W/B is selected to be more than the maximum relative density of W/B. This was confirmed for TG-DTA.

In this study, $(Ba_{0.7}\;Sr_{0.3})TiO_3$ was coated on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si wafer by using Sol-Gel method. Coating process was repeated 3~5 times and then sintered at 750[$^{\circ}C$] for 1 hour. Each specimen was analyzed structure and electrical characteristics. In structure characteristics, EDX analyzed the samples ratio of the formation on the structural property. Thermal behavior was observed with TG-DTA and concluded that the heat-treatment of the samples was degreed 750[$^{\circ}C$]. Surface and section of thin films were observed with SEM.

In this study, thin films of 70/30 and 80/20 mol% P(VDF-TrFE) copolymers were fabricated by physical vapor deposition method. In order to determine the optimum deposition condition, the copolymer thin films were fabricated in the heating temperature of 260$^{\circ}C$, 280$^{\circ}C$, and 300$^{\circ}C$. The deposition rate was measured in a real time by thickness monitor. The surface image of prepared thin films was analyzed by using AFM. From the results of TG-DTA,70/30 and 80/20 mol% P(VDF-TrFE) copolymers were observed the Curie transition point below the melting point. As the results of AFM and FT-IR analysis, we determined that the optimum deposition temperature was 300$^{\circ}C$.

This study examined the characteristics of the waste catalyst used in the petroleum refinery operations. The total pore volume, specific surface area, and average pore size of the spent catalyst used in the petroleum refinery operations were 3.96cc/g, 13.81m2/g, and 1.15A, respectively. The weight loss observed in the range from $25^{\circ}C-700^{\circ}C$ for the spent catalysts using TG and DTA was approximately 23 wt. %. EDS analysis of the waste catalyst sample showed that the five major components were vanadium, nickel, manganese, iron, and copper. The extraction system is attractive for liquid-liquid extraction. In this study, Cynex 272 was used to extract vanadium from waste catalyst. The electrochemical characteristics of the extracted vanadium solution were measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV). As a result, an oxidation / reduction peak appeared, indicating the potential of an electrolytic solution.
