Abstract:
The present invention provides an anode for a Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC) and a MCFC including the same, particularly an anode for the MCFC coated by a porous ceramic film, when the invention is used, the wettability of the anode to the molten carbonate used as the electrolyte for the MCFC and the amount of impregnated electrolyte will be greatly improved, and thus is very useful in viewpoint that it can prevent any electrolyte loss that is often observed in the long periods of operation of the MCFC, and maintain a high stability of the cell for an extended period of time, compared with the conventional cell. Also, the present invention itself is applicable to an electrode made of Ni-based alloys or metal compounds, which is expected to be competent MCFC materials nowadays, as well as the electrode made of Ni, NinullCr and NinullAl alloy used in the present invention.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for monitoring the progress of membrane fouling that occurs on pores as well as on the surface of a membrane by means of variations of zeta potential (null) of a hollow-fiber membrane according to time passage of filtration of a suspension, wherein colloid particles, biopolymers and other inorganic particles are dispersed, and the method thereof. Moreover, the present invention also relates to a method to identify the effect of concentration polarization layer and cake layer which can vary according to the axial position of a hollow-fiber and the developing progress of a membrane fouling by measuring the position-dependent zeta potential of the hollow-fiber membrane.
Abstract:
A fabrication method of a magnetic tunnel junction includes the steps of: forming a magnetic tunnel junction constructed having a first magnetic layer, a tunnel barrier formed at an upper surface of the first magnetic layer and a second magnetic layer formed at an upper surface of the tunnel barrier; and thermally treating the junction rapidly for 5 seconds null10 minutes at a temperature of 200null600null C. to re-distribute oxygens in the tunnel barrier and make the interface between the tunnel barrier and the magnetic layer to be even. The tunneling magnetoresistance and thermal stability of the magnetic tunnel junction can be improved through the rapid thermal annealing.
Abstract:
A diamond film depositing apparatus and method are disclosed in which a uniform and large plasma is formed on a substrate having a diameter of larger than 100 mm without using a heated filament cathode, without applying a magnetic field thereto, and without using a ballast resistance. The thusly formed plasma is maintained stably for a long time, so that a diamond thick film having a diameter of larger than 4 inches and a thickness of over hundreds of nullm can be deposited on a flat or curved substrate and also on a Si wafer.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a catalyst for producing 1,1-difluoroethane (HCFC-152a) and producing method thereof. More particularly, it is to provide the catalyst prepared by impregnating palladium on the active carbon pretreated with an aqueous hydrogen fluoride solution and an aqueous hydrogen chloride solution in series and its use in the production of 1,1-difluoroethane (HCFC-142b) by dehydrochlorinating 1,1-difluoro-1-chloroethane at 240-300null C. in the supplying molar ratio of 2-6 (H2/HCFC-142b) with maximizing a selectivity toward the product of HCFC-152a.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a non-volatile facilitated transport separation membrane prepared by using a solid state polymer electrolyte, characterized in that it has good stability and improved permeance and selectivity of alkene-series unsaturated hydrocarbons. According to the present invention, the facilitated transport separation membrane for the separation of alkene-series hydrocarbons is prepared by forming a solid state polymer electrolyte layer consisting of a non-volatile polymer and a transition metal salt capable of selectively and reversibly forming a complex with alkenes to a porous membrane. The facilitated transport separation membrane thus prepared is characterized in that its permeance and selectivity of the alkenes are high, and that the complex formed by a polymer ligand and a metal in the solid state polymer electrolyte maintains its activity as a carrier of alkene-series hydrocarbons is maintained for a long time, even under dry, long-term operation.
