In order to leach Au and Ag from gold-silver bearing sulfide concentrate, the sulfide concentrate was ground in a ball mill for a dry pre-treatment and a wet pre-treatment process. Mineralogical studies and thiourea leaching experiments were carried out with the pre-treated sulfide concentrate. The results of the pre-treatment with the concentrate samples showed the mean particle size and iso-electrical potential was smaller in the dry pre-treatment sample than in the concentrate sample, and the contents was lower in the wet pre-treatment sample than in the dry pre-treatment sample. In XRD analysis, amorphous properties were only shown in the wet pretreatment sample. The results of the concentrate sample leaching experiments showed that the best Au, Ag leaching parameters were when the addition of thiourea was at a 1.0 g concentration, ferric sulfate was 1.0 M, sulfuric acid was 2.0 M and the leaching temperature was at $60^{\circ}C$. The Au, Ag leaching rate was always much greater and faster with the wet pre-treatment samples than with the dry pre-treatment samples. Accordingly, it is expected that more Au, Ag can be leached in an eco-friendly methodology using wet pre-treatment. The pre-treatment could be improved with an optimized grinding additive reagent and through researching grinding time in future non-cyanide processes.

ACP(Advanced Spent Fuel Conditioning Process)의 금속전환로에 $U_3O_8$을 공급하기 위하여 20 kgHM/batch의 $UO_2$ 펠릿(pellets)을 처리할 수 있는 건식분말화 장치가 개발되고있다. 건식분말화 장치는 500 $^{\circ}C$온도에서 공기를 공급하여 일정한 입도범위의 균질한 $U_3O_8$을 만든다. 이런 건식 분말화 장치의 효율을 높이기 위해서는 반웅로에 불어 넣어주는 공기의 유량을 증가시킬 필요가 있다. 하지만 공기와 반응하여 생성되는 $U_3O_8$ 입자는 그 크기가 최소 3 ${\mu}$m 정도로 매우 미세하여，반응로 출구를 통해 외부로 빠져나갈 가능성 이있다. 이를 방지하기 위해 분말화 장치 출구 바깥에는 필터가 설치되어 있으나 공기와 함께 $U_3O_8$ 입자가 계속해서 빠져 나갈 경우 입자로 인해 필터가 막혀 제 기능을 할 수 없게 된다. 따라서 건식 분말화 장치는 미세한 $U_3O_8$ 입자가 반응로 밖으로 빠져나가지 않도록 입구에서의 공기 유량을 일정 수준 이하로 조절해주는 것이 필요하다. 이 연구의 목적은 초기 유량으로부터 유량을 점점 증가시키면서 시간변화에 따른 입자 거동 특성을 해석하며， 결과로부터 주어진 크기의 타원입자에 대해 최대 허용 공기 유량을 결정하고자한다. 이 해석을 위해 유동과 입자를 동시에 해석할 수 있는 ANSYS-CFX 5.7.1과 ANSYS-CFX 10.0 두 가지의 소프트웨어가 사용되었다. 해석 결과를 바탕으로 좀더 정확한 유량 한계치 계산을 위해 추가로 수행되어야 할 해석에 대해 제안하였다.

일일 최대 석탄처리 용략이 3톤인 건식 석탄가스화기를 사용하여 가스화에 미치는 주요 변수들중 산화제내 산소농도와 증기 주입량을 변경시켜 가스화성능을 조사하였고, IGCC용 대성석탄을 선정하는 입장에서의 주요 인자 및 고온고압 조건에서의 가스화기 운전상 특성과 문제점을 파악하여 운전상 문제에 대한 대책을 제시하였다. 사용한 석탄은 유연탄인 중국 대동탄과 아영청탄인 미국 알라스카의 유시벨리탄에었는데, 두 탄중 모두 건식 가스화기의 운전상에는 문제가 없었다. 가스화를 위한 산소의 농도는 90%까지 그리고 석탄시료 무게 대비 증가량 10∼12%까지는 가스화의 온도 유지와 가스조성 측면에서 무리 없이 적용할 수 있다고 판단되었다. 이들 가스화 시험을 통하여 생성된 슬랙은 가스화기 슬랙탭의 조업 온도와 대상석탄 회재의 용융특성에 따라 침상 또는 알갱이 형태로 배출되었으며, 슬랙으로부터 중금속 성분이 유출되는지를 분석해 본 결과 침출수에 의한 2차 오염은 없는 것으로 확인하였다. IGCC용 석탄을 선정하는 석탄특성에서는 미분탄의 수분함량, 회재함량, 회재용융온도, 발열량 측면에서 검토하였는데, 건식가스화기의 경우 미분탄의 표면수분의 제거가 중요하고 회재의 함량과 회재의 용융온도를 같이 고려하여 적정한 시료 석탄이 선정되어야 한다는 결론을 얻었다. 가스화기 운전측면에서는 여러 기계적인 문제점들이 발견되었는데 시료공급노즐의 막힘문제, 역화문제, 고온가스 누출문제, 추운 겨울 운전시 오링(O-ring)문제 등에 대한 논의와 대책을 제시하였다.

Most of the domestic need for tin rely on imports. In this work, a pyrometallurgical process was investigated to recover pure tin from the tin oxides in tin bath which results from the production of flat glass and LCD panel. From the results on the effect of reaction temperature, the highest recovery percentage of tin was obtained at $1350^{\circ}C$. The recovery percentage of tin was improved to 88% by employing the first and second smelting step. Electrorefining of the crude tin thus obtained led to pure tin with purity higher than 99.9%.

In this study, NO oxidation process was studied to increase the NO treatment efficiency of pollutant present in exhaust gas. $H_2O_2$ catalytic cracking was introduced as a method of producing dry oxidizing agents with strong oxidizing power. The $K-Mn/Fe_2O_3$ heterogeneous catalysts applicable to the $H_2O_2$ decomposition process were prepared and their physico-chemical properties were investigated. The prepared dry oxidant was applied to the NO oxidation process to treat the simulated exhaust gas containing NO, NO conversion rates close to 100% were confirmed at various flow rates (5, 10, 20 L/min) of the simulated flue gas.

The characteristics of dry and wet milled powder prepared by 1 cycle OREOX (oxidation and reduction of oxide fuels) treatment were investigated using the simulated spent fuel pellet. Sintered pellets simulating spent nuclear fuel burned in reactor were fabricated from $UO_2$ powder using as a starting material in fabrication of nuclear fuel. The 1 cycle OREOX-treated powder was prepared by only one path of oxidation md reduction of the simulated pellet. Powder having average particle size of less than 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ could be easily obtained by dry milling, but not be achieved by wet milling. And, specific surface area of dry milled pow-der was higher than that of wet milled powder. Dry milled powder formed loose agglomerate, while wet milled powder showed the shape of irregular and angular particles. Dry milled powder provided higher green density, resulting in higher sintered density of higher than 95% TD and average grain size of larger than 8 $\mu\textrm{m}$ satisfying the standard specification of sintered pellets.

Gelatinized rice flours were prepared by drum drying at different moisture contents of slurry made from dry milled and wet milled rice flours. Milled rice samples were prepared from the Chuchung and the Samgang varieties. Degree of gelatinization of drum-dried rice flours revealed over 92% at 60% moisture content of wet milled rice flours and 80% moisture content of dry milled ones. With regards to amylogram and rheological properties, drum-dried rice flours prepared from wet milled raw materials showed higher viscosity than from dry milled ones. Increasing water contents in the slurry increased water absorption index(WAI) and decreased water solubility index(WSI). Hunter's color values of drum-dried rice flour at high moisture contents showed higher L values and lower b values. For the preparation of gelatinized rice flours by drum drying process, the higher water content caused more gelatinized network structure of rice starch in scanning electron micrographs. With regards to farinogram properties of dough with drum-dried rice flours and wheat flours in mixing ratio of 1 to 9 by weight, drum-dried rice flours made from wet milled raw rice flours revealed higher MTI than from dry milled ones.
