In this paper, a series of experiments was conducted to evaluate the resistibility of carbonation and freeze-thawing damage of the high-volume blast furnace slag concrete using expancel, the expandable microsphere, and ERCO, emulsified refine cooking oil. The concrete mixture of 0.45 water-to-binder ratio with 60% of blast furnace slag was evaluated for carbonation, freeze-thawing resistibility, SEM, and porosity. According to the previous research, replacing ERCO contributes on improving carbonation resistibility with capillary pore filling effect by soap foaming reaction of ERCO while significantly decreased freeze-thawing resistibility. To improve this decreased freeze-thawing resistibility, expancel was used, and thus freeze-thawing resistibility was improved as the replacement ratio of expancel was increased. It is considered that the selective volume shrunken effect of expancel due to the external pressure and decreased air void spacing factor due to expancel.

In this paper, dispersibility of steel fiber is improved mixing with form for material development of protection and blast resistant structure sprayed concrete. And it is developed a high toughness cellular sprayed concrete material using steel fiber. Oversupply form for dispersibility improvement of steel fiber is mostly fade away through sprayed, finally it is satisfied with the proper mixing ratio under 3 % ~ 6 %. This is considered for compressive strength and flexural toughness. Test results of compressive strength showed superior strength capability in 28, 56 days, also flexural strength and flexural toughness is great. Then oversupply form is enhanced for dispersibility of steel fiber and I think that it did not cause decreasing of strength. But analysis results of pore structure through image analysis failed for a great spacing factor and specific surface area. This is largely measured in spacing factor because air content have a grate evaporation effect for sprayed.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate experimentally the compressive performance of horizontal joints for light-weight hybrid panel in-filled with light-weight foamed mortar. The parameters include the presence of light-weight foamed mortar, the specific gravity of light-weight foamed mortar (0.8, 1.2), the finishing materials (light-weight foamed mortar, Oriented Strand Board [OSB], gypsum board), and the fixed shape of the hybrid panel. As the improved details for fixed end, the peak strength and the stiffness of the light-weight hybrid panel are enhanced as follows: 1.07-2.7 times in peak load, 15-24 times in initial stiffness. The peak strength of the light-weight hybrid panel obtained by the test result is in agreement with the calculations, which is the criterion value according to the domestic code.

It is well known that volatile compounds including disinfection by-products as well as emissive dissolved gas in water can be removed effectively by air stripping. The micro-bubbles of flotation unit are so tiny as microns while the diameter of fine bubbles applied to air stripping is ranged from hundreds to thousands of micrometer. Therefore, the micro-bubbles in flotation can supply very wide specific surface area to transfer volatile matters through gas-liquid boundary. In addition, long emission time also can be gained to emit the volatile compound owing to the slow rise velocity of micro-bubbles in the flotation tank. There was a significant difference of the THMs species removal efficiency between air stripping and flotation experiments in this study. Moreover, the results of comparative experiments on the removal characteristics of THMs between air stripping and flotation revealed that the mass transfer coefficient, $K_La$ showed obvious differences. To overcome the limit of low removal efficiency of dissolved volatile compounds such as THMs in flotation process, the operation range of bubble volume concentration is required to higher than the operation condition of conventional particle separation.

Characteristics of continuous preparation of ZnO powder were investigated in a micro drop/bubble fluidized reactor of which diameter and height were 0.03 m and 1.5 m, respectively. The flow rate of carrier gas for transportation of precursors to the reactor was 6.0 L/min and the concentration of Zn ion in the precursor solutions was 0.4 mol/L, respectively. Effects of reaction temperature (973 K~1,273 K) and flow rate of micro bubbles (0~0.4 L/min) on the pore characteristics of prepared ZnO powder were examined. The optimum reaction temperature for the maximum porosity in the ZnO powder was 1,073 K within this experimental condition. The mean size of ZnO powder prepared continuously in the reactor decreased but the surface of the powder became smooth, with increasing reaction temperature. The injection of micro bubbles into the reactor could enhance the formation of pores in the powder effectively, and thus the mean BET surface area could be increased by up to 58%. The mean size of prepared ZnO powder was in the range of $1.25{\sim}1.75{\mu}m$ depending on the reaction temperature.

Load reduction ring (LRR) was installed on the ABB-Atom sparger to reduce the oscillatory loadings due to the air bubble clouds in the water pool in case of safety relief system operations. In order to investigate the effect of LRR on the pressure field, a numerical simulation on the behavior of air bubble clouds discharging into a water pool through a ABB-Atom sparser without LRR was performed by using a commercial thermal hydraulic analysis code, FLUENT 4.5. Among the multi-phase models contained in the code, the VOF (Volume Of Fluid) model was used to simulate the interface of water, air and steam flows. By comparing the analysis results with the previous ones, the load reduction ring has an effect on reducing the oscillatory loads at the wall. It also includes the effect of air mass and inlet boundary conditions of the pipe on the pressure oscillations at the wall.

This study was conducted with the aim of developing a venturi-type air supply system for a microbubble generator. In order to determine the influence of the varying geometry of the venturi tube on the flow characteristics, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation was performed using the commercial CFD software ANSYS CFX-15. Furthermore, in order to elucidate the effects of variation in major design dimensions such as the air supply hole size, position of holes, and number of holes on the air supply characteristics, two-phase multiflow CFD analysis was performed. The analysis results showed that the starting point of expansion on the venturi tube with 0.75 is the best hole position and that the air supply hole size and the number of holes are linearly proportional to the amount of air.

Pyrolysis of biomass is one of the promising methods to obtain energy and valuable chemical stocks. Fast pyrolysis of Q. acutissima and L. letolepis has been carried out in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor to determine the optimum operating conditions of the pyrolyzer. Effects of reaction temperature, Uo/Umf, L/D ratio, and feed rate have been determined and the optimum conditions are as follows: $T\;=\;400^{\circ}C,\;U_o/U_{mf}\;=\;3.0,\;L/D\;=\;2.0$. Maximum yield of bio-oil was about 55% and the main compositions were carbohydrates, guaiacols, furans, phenols, and syringols. Product gas was consists of CO, $CO_2$, light hydrocarbons and the measured gas yield using the compositions agreed with the calculated value.

The optimal operation conditions, including voltage applied, reaction time, distance between electrodes. and electrode material. were investigated for the treatment of soil flushing effluent using electrofloatation. When 3V was applied for 1 hour, 88% oil-water separation efficiency was achieved. In case of 6V and above, 90% efficiencies were achieved. As reaction time and distance between electrodes were longer, separation efficiencies were higher and lower, respectively. Separation efficiencies for different anode materials were copper > aluminum > iron > titanium. It might result from the differences of their electrical conductivities.

The reduction reaction characteristics and physicochemical properties were studied for the selection of oxygen carrier, which is the core of the chemical looping combustion (CLC) technology. Fuel conversion and $CO_2$ selectivity of oxygen carrier according to the concentration of reducing gas and the reduction temperature using three kinds of oxygen carrier (SDN70, N018-R2, N016-R4) were measured and compared. In addition, Attrition Index (AI) and BET surface area were measured to analyze the attrition resistance and the surface characteristics of the oxygen carrier. As a result, it was confirmed that all three kinds of oxygen carrier were suitable for use in chemical roofing combustion system, and the best particle was determined to be N016-R4.
