Jeen-Seok Jang,Young-Seak Lee,In-Ki Kim,Going Yim 한국탄소학회 2000 Carbon Letters Vol.1 No.2

Naphtha cracking bottom oil was reformed with heat treatment and then spun at 310℃. These pitch-based carbon fibers were carbonized at 1000℃ after oxidation at 280℃, for 90 min. These fibers were chemically activated with molar ratio of KOH/CF (1 : 1) at different temperatures (250~900℃) for 1 hr. The process of activation was characterized with DTA, TGA, BET surface area and pore size distribution. The activation of fibers by KOH was performed by several process. One is the reduction process that carbon fiber was reacted with K2O produced from dehydration process above 400℃. The other is the process that K2CO3 was directly reacted with carbon fiber. At 800℃, the activation was performed by catalyzed mechanism that K2O was obtained from the reaction of metal potassium with CO2, then was changed to K2CO3. At 870℃, the activation was also observed that activation mechanism was promoted by metal catalyst with CO2 from decomposition of K2CO3. The specific surface area of prepared activated carbon fibers was dependent on the activation mechanism. The specific surface area was in the range of 1519~2000 cm3/g and was the largest prepared at 870℃. The pores developed were mostly micropores which was very narrow and uniform. The total pore volume was 0.58~0.77 cm3/g.

Naphtha cracking bottom oil was reformed with heat treatment and then spun at $310^{\circ}C$. These pitch-based carbon fibers were carbonized at $1000^{\circ}C$ after oxidation at $280^{\circ}C$, for 90 min. These fibers were chemically activated with molar ratio of KOH/CF (1 : 1) at different temperatures ($250{\sim}900^{\circ}C$) for 1 hr. The process of activation was characterized with DTA, TGA, BET surface area and pore size distribution. The activation of fibers by KOH was performed by several process. One is the reduction process that carbon fiber was reacted with $K_2O$ produced from dehydration process above $400^{\circ}C$.

Synthesis and characterization of mesoporous electrospun carbon fibers derived from silica template

Ji Sun Im,Jeen-Seok Jang,이영석 한국공업화학회 2009 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.15 No.6

In our study, mesoporous carbon fibers were prepared by using electrospinning and physical activation. In order to develop mesoporous structure, silica was used as a physical activation agent due to meso-size of particle. The diameter of activated carbon fibers increased and surface became rougher after physical activation. Textural properties of carbon fibers were evaluated by using surface pore structure analysis apparatus. The specific surface area increased 12 times and total pore volume increased about 57 times through physical activation using silica. The development of mesoporous structure was confirmed by pore size distribution and fraction of micropore volume. From the DFT pore size distribution, it is sure that broad meso-sized porous carbon fibers were obtained from physical activation in our experiment. The fact that fractions of micropore volume are too low showing less than 2% by the results of total pore volume and HK pore volume concedes that silica activated CFs are pretty mesoporous. Eventually activated carbon fibers having broad meso-sized pores were obtained successfully.

Objective : The water extract of Yukgunja-tang(YGJT) has been traditionally used in treatment of qi deficiency and phlegm in Oriental medicine. However, little is known about the mechanism by which YGJT protects neuronal cells from injury damages. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the protective effects of YGJT on C6 glial cells by glutamate-induced cell death. Methods : The present study describes glutamate, which is known as an excitatory neurotransmitter, related with oxidative damages, and YGJT, which shows protective effects against glutamate-induced C6 glial cell death. One of the main mediators of glutamate-induced cytotoxicity was known on the generation of reactive oxygen species(ROS) via activation of NADPH oxidase (NOX). The protective effects of antioxidant(NAC) and NOX inhibitor(apocynin) on the glutamate-induced C6 glial cells were determined by a MTT reduction assay. Result : YGJT inhibited glutamate-induced ROS generation via inhibition of NOX expression on glutamate-stimulated C6 glial cells. Furthermore, YGJT attenuated glutamate-induced caspase activation. These results suggest that YGJT could be a new potential candidate against glutamate-induced oxidative stress and cell death. Conclusion : These findings indicate that in C6 glial cells, ROS plays an important role of glutamate-induced cell death and that YGJT may prevent cell death from glutamate-induced cell death by inhibiting the ROS generation.

Preparation and Characterization of Electrospun TiO<SUB>2</SUB>-Activated Carbon Complex Fiber as Photocatalyst

Min-Jung Jung,Eui-Gyung Jeong,Jeen-Seok Jang,Young-Seak Lee 한국탄소학회 2010 Carbon Letters Vol.11 No.1

In this study, TiO2-Activated carbon (AC) complex fibers were prepared by electrospinning for the synergetic effect of adsorption and degradation of organic pollutant. The average diameter of these fibers increased with increasing the amount of AC added, except for 1AC-TOF (AC/TiO2 =1/40 mass ratio). After calcinations at 500℃, long as-spun fibers were broken and their average diameter was slightly decreased. The resultant fibers after calcination had rough surface and sphere shapes like a peanut. From XRD results, it was confirmed that as-spun fibers were changed to anatase TiO2 fiber after calcinations at 500℃. The prepared TiO2-AC complex fibers could remove procian blue dyes by solar light irradiation with high removal property of 94~99%. The PB dye was rapidly removed by adsorption during the initial 5 minutes. But after 5 minutes, dye removal was occurred by photodegradation. In this study, the most efficient AC/TiO2 ratio of TiO2-AC complex fibers was 5/40, showing the synergetic effect of adsorption and photodegradation. It is expected that the TiO2-AC complex fibers can be used to remove of organic pollutants in water system.

Anion co-doped Titania for Solar Photocatalytic Degradation of Dyes

Young-Seak Lee,Sang-Jin Kim,P. Venkateswaran,Jeen-Seok Jang,Hyuk Kim,Jong-Gyu Kim 한국탄소학회 2008 Carbon Letters Vol.9 No.2

In order to investigate the effect of doping C, N, B and F elements on TiO2 for reducing the band gap, the heat treatment of TiO2 was carried out with tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate. Through XRD and XPS analysis, the C, N, B and F doped anatase TiO2 was confirmed. According to the increase of temperature during treatment, the particle size was increased due to aggregation of TiO2 with elements (B, C, N and F). To investigate the capacity of photocatalyst for degradation of dye under solar light, the degradation of acridine orange and methylene blue was conducted. The degradation of dyes was carried out successfully under solar light indicating the effect of doping elements (B, C, N and F) on TiO2 for reducing the band gap effectively.
