Ti 및 S를 함유하는 강종의 연속주조시 노즐막힘 현상이 자주 발생한다. 이러한 강종의 연주기술과 생산성을 향상 시키기 위해서는 노즐막힘 발생을 방지하기 위한 새로운 기술의 개발이 필요하다. 노즐막힘은 노즐내벽에 개재물의 부착으로 인해 발생되는 것으로 용강의 물성 혹은 내화물 재질의 개선을 통하여 방지하거나 저감할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 노즐내 용강에 Mg 증기를 취입하였을 때의 내화물과 용강 계면에서의 반응 및 현상에 대하여 조사하고 내화물/용강계면에서의 생성물 분석과 용강중 S와 Ti의 농도에 따른 노즐 내화물과의 접촉각을 측정하였다. Mg증기는 MgO-Al 혼합물을 가열함으로 Al에 의한 Mg 의 환원반응에 의해 발생되며, 온도와 MgO와 Al 분말의 입도에 따른 Mg증기 발생거동에 대하여 고찰한다.

In the quality control of the aerosol skincare products containing powders, it is essential to guarantee that the contents in the bottle can be completely used without leakage or clogging of the nozzle. In this paper, the clogging caused by powder was investigated and the clogging can be effectively removed by emulsifying the contents containing powder with the LPG using a proper surfactant. And the spraying test shows that the contents in the bottle are completely propelled to outside by LPG when properly emulsified by POE(40) HCO.

Membrane bioreactor(MBR) processes have been widely applied to wastewater treatment for last decades due to its excellent capability of solid-liquid separation. However, membrane fouling was considered as a limiting factor in wide application of the MBR process. Excess aeration into membrane surface is a common way to control membrane fouling in most MBR. However, the excessively supplied air is easily dissipated in the reactor, which results in consuming energy and thus, it should be modified for effective control of membrane fouling. In this study, cylindrical tube was introduced to MBR in order to use the supplied air effectively. Membrane fibers were immersed into the cylindrical tube. This makes the supplied air non-dissipated in the reactor so that membrane fouling could be controlled economically. Two different air supplying method was employed and compared each other; nozzle and porous diffuser which were located just beneath the membrane module. Transmembrane pressure(TMP) was monitored as a function of airflow rate, flux, and ratio of the tube area and cross-sectioned area of membrane fibers(A$_m$/A$_t$). Flow rate of air and liquid was regulated to obtain slug flow in the cylindrical tube. With the same flow of air supply, nozzle was more effective for controlling membrane fouling than porous diffuser. Accumulation of sludge was observed in the tube with the nozzle, if the air was not suppled sufficiently. Reduction of membrane fouling was dependent upon the ratio, A$_m$/A$_t$. For diffuser, membrane fouling was minimized when A$_m$/A$_t$ was 0.27, but 0.55 for nozzle.

A cascade impactor is a multistage impaction device used to separate airborne particles into aerodynamic size classes. A micro-orifice impactor uses micro-orifice nozzles to extend the cut sizes of the lower stages to as small as 0.05 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in diameter without resorting to low pressures or creating excessive pressure drops across the impactor stages. In this work, the phenomenon of particle clogging in micro-orifice nozzles was experimentally investigated for a commercial micro-orifice uniform deposit impactor (MOUDI). It was observed, using an optical microscope, that the micro-orifice nozzles of the final stages were partially clogged due to particle deposition during the aerosol sampling. Therefore the pressure drops across the nozzles were higher than the nominal values given by the manufacturer. To examine the effect of particle clogging in micro-orifice nozzles, the particle collection efficiency of the MOUDI was evaluated using an electrical method for fine particles with diameters in the range of 0.1-0.6 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The monodisperse liquid dioctyl sebacate (DOS) particles were used as test aerosols. A faraday cage was employed to measure the low-level current of the charged particles upstream and downstream of each stage. It was found that the collection efficiency curves shifted to correspond to smaller orifice sizes, and the 50-% cutoff sizes were much smaller than those given by the manufacturer for the three stages with nozzles less than 400 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in diameter.

In order to provide the mechanism of nozzle clogging, recovered nozzles for high strength steel grade were examined carefully after continuous casting. The thickness of clogged material in SEN is increased in the following order: from the bottom to the top of the nozzle, upper part of slag line, and the pouring hole. Nozzle clogging material begins to form due the adhesion of metal to nozzle wall, the decarburization, and reduction of oxide in the refractory by Al and Ti in the melt. The reduction of oxide in the refractory by Al and Ti improves the wettability of the melt on the refractory and forms a thin Al-Ti-O layer. Metal containing micro alumina inclusions is solidified on the Al-Ti-O layer, and the solid layer grows due to the heat evolution through the nozzle wall. Thermodynamic calculation has been made for the related reactions. The effect of superheat to the nozzle clogging is discussed on ultra low carbon steel and low carbon steel.

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.

미사일 추력기 체계에 적용되는 하이드라진[$N_2H_4$]추진제는 MSDS-OHS 유해성 분류상 급성독성 물질로서 사용이 제한되고 있는 바, 다양한 대체물질이 개발 중이다. 최근 해외에서 안전성과 취급이 우수한 질산 히드록실암모늄[$NH_3OHNO_3$]과 암모늄 디나이트라마이드[$NH_4N(NO_2)_2$] 기반 단일계 액상추진제가 개발중이며, 이 물질들을 이용한 추력기 시스템 적용 시험이 진행되고 있다. 그러나 저온에서의 연로물질 산성화 반응으로 인한 디나이트라마이드[$N(NO_2)_2{^-}$] 물질의 분해는 나이트레이트[$NO_3{^-}$] 이온 생성을 촉진시키며, 부수적으로 발생하는 침전물은 촉매 및 노즐의 막힘 현상을 유발하므로 추력기 성능의 저해요인으로 작용한다. 그러므로 저온분해 방지를 위한 첨가제 조성 개발 및 열분해 특성 연구가 최근의 관심사이다. 본 연구는 합성/정제/추출한 암모늄 디나이트라마이드 산화제를 주요 조성물로 적용하였으며, 염기성 안정화제를 질량비율 4~5% 첨가하여 산성화 반응을 억제시킨 단일계 액상추진제(KMP) 형태로 제조하였다. 합성한 추진제는 시차주사열량계(DSC)를 이용하여 분해온도를 측정하여 열안정성을 평가해보았다.

We investigated the physical/chemical phenomena that a slow loss of $CO_2$ inventory into sodium after the sodium-$CO_2$ boundary failure in printed circuit heat exchangers (PCHEs), which is considered for the supercritical $CO_2$ Brayton cycle power conversion system of a sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR). The first phenomenon is plugging inside narrow sodium channels by micro cracks and the other one is damage propagation referred to as wastage combined with the corrosion/erosion effect. Experimental results of plugging shows that sodium flow immediately stopped as $CO_2$ was injected through the nozzle at $300{\sim}400^{\circ}C$ in 3 mmID sodium channels, whereas sodium flow stopped about 60 min after $CO_2$ injection in 5 mmID sodium channels. These results imply that if pressure boundary of sodium-$CO_2$ fails a narrow sodium channel would be plugged by reaction products in a short time whereas a relatively wider sodium channel would be plugged with higher concentration of reaction products. Wastage by the erosion effect of $CO_2$ (200~250 bar) hardly occurred regardless of the kinds of materials (stainless steel 316, Inconel 600, and 9Cr-1Mo steel), temperature ($400{\sim}500^{\circ}C$), or the diameter of the $CO_2$ nozzle (0.2~0.8 mm). Velocities at the $CO_2$ nozzle were specified as Mach 0.4~0.7. Our experimental results are expected to be used for determining the design parameters of PCHEs for their safeties.

Cobalt aluminate ($CoAl_2O_4$) is a highly stable pigment with excellent resistance to light, weather, etc., which has resulted in widespread use as a ceramic pigment. Due to the unique optical characteristics, $CoAl_2O_4$ is generally used as a coloring agent to decorate porcelain products, glass, paints and plastics. Here, $CoAl_2O_4$ pigments were synthesized by polymerized complex method and solid state reaction. Then $CoAl_2O_4$ pigment were grinded using the attrition milling with 1 mm size zirconia ball for 3 hours. The attrition milling process was performed at the constant speed of 800 rpm and ball to powder weight ratio (BPR) was 100 : 1. The characteristics of synthesized pigment were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), particle size analyser (PSA) and CIE $L^*a^*b^*$. The XRD patterns of $CoAl_2O_4$ show single phase spinel structure. The particle size of $CoAl_2O_4$ measured by FE-SEM, TEM and PSA analysis was in the range of 100~200 nm. The blue color of obtained $CoAl_2O_4$ pigments could be confirmed through CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ measurement.
