Recently, demands for generating high quality tap waters are increasing with high concern of water pollution and corrosion of water pipelines. For the reasons, developing water quality stabilization technique in water purification system is sought rather than replacing to a new pipelines. In this study, high-purity liquid lime($Ca(OH)_2$) was introduced for a water quality stabilization technique in water purification process and simulated water distribution system of pilot-scale size was applied to evaluate anti-corrosion control effect. The effect of anti-corrosion control was calculated in terms of LSI(Langelier Saturation Index) In conclusion, the result of pilot plant showed improvement of corrosiveness by liquid lime($Ca(OH)_2$) with reduction of released iron(Fe). Application of anti-corrosion control technique to the mild steel coupon and the copper coupon were effective by indicating 35.4, 44.5% of improvements. Besides, sample pipes which were treated with liquid lime had formated more thicker layer of corrosion product inside of pipes. As a result, the process of injecting water stabilizer can greatly contribute to the high quality of tap water.

핵연료피복관의 부식성능은 합금원소의 조성에 매우 민감하지만 열처리변수에 따라서도 크게 좌우되므로 열처리변수가 Zr 신합금의 부식저항성과 미세조직에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Zr-Nb-Sn-Fe-Cr 조성을 갖는 합금을 제조하여 열처리면수($\Sigma$A)를 7.7x$10^{-l9}$~5.3x$10^{-17}$ hr로 제어한 후 400 $^{\circ}C$/10.3 MPa 분위기의 autoclave를 이용하여 부식시험을 실시 하였다. 열처리변수($\Sigma$A)가 증가함에 따라서 부식저항성은 감소하였으며 열처리변수의 값이 7.7x$10^{-l9}$와 8.8x$10^{-l9}$ hr일 때 부식저항성은 매우 우수하였다. 천이후 부식속도에 미치는 열처리변수의 영향은 무게증가량에 미치는 영향과 동일한 경향을 나타냈으며 $\Sigma$A가 1.0x$10^{-18}$ hr이하에서 매우 낮은 부식속도를 보였다. 석출물 크기의 증가는 부식저항성을 감소시키는 것으로 관찰되었다. 따라서 우수한 부식저항성을 갖는 Zr 신합금을 개발하기 위해서는 중간 열처리 온도를 적절히 조절하여 석출물의 크기를 0.05 $\mu$m이하로 제어하여야 한다.다.

MR(magnetorheological) devices for vehicle applications requires the consistent control performance and the reliable operation. However, the corrosion of iron particles consisting the MR fluid can significantly affect on MR properties. This paper presents an effect of the MR particle corrosion on the performance of MR fluids such as shear stress magnitude which is directly concerned with control performance. As a first step, MR particles are corroded by water-calcium chloride solution. The resulting MR particles are examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and their molar ratios are analyzed by the energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). By dispersing the corroded MR particles into silicone oil, the corroded MR fluid is synthesized for evaluation of MR effect change. A rotational viscometer is adopted to measure shear stress magnitude. Finally, it is demonstrated how much the corrosion affect on performances by comparing the normal MR fluid to the corroded MR fluid, from which performance investigation of the MR devices containing the corroded MR particles will be studied in the second phase of this study.

Due to economic impairment derived from metal corrosion of pumping station installed around coastal area, it was needed for related cause-effect to be investigated for understanding practical corrosion behavior and providing proper control. This research was thus carried out to determine whether the microbe can influence on metal corrosion along with its control in the laboratory. For this study, groundwater was sampled from the underground pump station(i.e. I Gas Station) where corrosion was observed. Microbial diversity on the samples were then obtained by 16S rDNA methods. From this, microbial populations showing corrosion behaviors against metals were reported as Leptothrix sp.(Iron oxidizing) and Desulfovibrio sp.(Sulfur reducing) Iron oxidizing bacteria were dominantly participating in the corrosion of iron, while sulfate reducing bacteria were more preferably producing precipitate of iron. In case of galvanized steel and stainless steel, iron oxidizing bacteria not only enhanced the corrosion, but also generated its scale of precipitate. Sulfate reducing bacteria had zinc steel corroded greater extent than that of iron oxidizing bacteria. In the inactivation test, chlorine or UV exposure could efficiently control bacterial growth. However as the inactivation intensity being increased beyond a threshold level, corrosion rate was unlikely escalated due to augmented chemical effect. It is decided that microbial corrosion could be differently taken place depending upon type of microbes or materials, although they were highly correlated. It could be efficiently retarded by given disinfection practices.

역삼투식 해수담수화 (Sea Water Reverse Osmosis, SWRO) 공정에 의한 생산수는 pH가 낮고, 해수 내 존재하는 경도성분인 Ca, Mg 이온이 대부분 제거되기 때문에 상대적으로 매우 강한 부식성을 지니고 있다. 이를 음용수 및 공업용수로 이용 시 설비 및 배관계통에 심각한 부식문제를 유발할 수 있으며, 이를 방지하기 위한 처리공정과 부식성 제어 기술의 지속적인 개발이 요구되는 실정이다. SWRO 1단으로 처리 시 생산수의 전기전도도는 $150{\mu}S/cm$ 정도의 범위를 보이며, 2단 SWRO 과정을 거칠 시 전기전도도는 $100{\mu}S/cm$ 이하의 범위를 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 SWRO 2단 처리수를 가정한 $20{\mu}S/cm{\sim}25{\mu}S/cm$ 범위의 전기전도도를 지닌 물을 실험 원수로 사용하여, 기존 방식제의 성분과 생산수의 특성을 고려한 효율적인 알칼리성 수처리제를 적용하고 그에 대한 부식성 제어 연구를 수행하였다. SWRO 생산수를 대상으로 부식방지기술을 개발하기 위해서는 부식제어와 관련된 수질 인자인 pH, 칼슘경도, 알칼리도의 조절과 LSI(Langelier Saturation Index)를 설정하는 것이 무엇보다도 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 해수담수화 공정의 생산수를 음용수 및 공업용수로 이용하기 위한 목표 수질을 pH 7.5~7.8, LSI 0 이상, 부가적으로 전기전도도는 $250{\mu}S/cm$ 이하로 설정하였으며, 연구목표 수질을 달성할 수 있는 부식억제제 및 알칼리성 수처리제의 적용을 통해 목표 수질에 대한 설정 근거를 마련하고자 하였다.

This research was carried out to evaluate effect of metallic release and change of water corrosive indices by the pH and alkalinity adjustment using the SDLS (Simulated Distribution Loop System) which consist of six types of pipe loop with DCIP, PVC, PE, STS304, CP, GSP, respectively, and its effects on water quality changes which were microbes quality(SPC), residual chlorine. THMs and other parameters. And it was to propose optimal criteria of water quality control for the field application. According to the results, water control system by pH and alkalinity adjustment showed the changing of corrosive water and reducing of metallic release rate and it was not affects of THMs formation, microbes regrowth and variation of other parameters. Water quality stability and corrosion control were due to calcium carbonate precipitation film formation of pipe inner by water quality control. Therefore, corrosive water control system by pH and alkalinity adjustment can be attributed to effective water quality management in water distribution system according to water quality stability of pH and TIC(Total Inorganic Carbonate concentration) that affect the precipitation and dissolution of solids.

원자력 발전소의 2차계통수에는 pH를 조절하여 부식을 억제하기 위해 pH제어제로 약염기성 화학물질을 첨가하고 있다. pH 제어제로 암모니아를 사용하였으나 pH가 낮아 부식생성물이 생성되어 증기발생기의 전열관에 슬러지의 퇴적으로 전열관의 부식이 촉진되므로 pH 제어제를 에탄올아민으로 바꿈으로 슬러지의 생성 및 이동을 억제하고 있다. 그러나 에탄올아민은 암모니아와 물리화학적 성질이 다르므로, 증기발생기에 유입되는 부식생성물의 용해와 흡착, 이온성 불순물의 잠복현상에 미치는 영향이 다르다. 본 연구는 암모니아와 에탄올아민이 온도가 점차 높아짐에 따라 부식생성물에 대찬 용해와 흡착, 이온성불순물의 잠복현상에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 이 실험의 결과로 2차 계통수의 pH 제어제는 ETA가 암모니아보다 증기발생기 슬러지의 철산화물에 더 흡착되어 더 많이 용해되어 퇴적된 슬러지 양을 감소시키므로, 슬러지에 흡착된 불순물의 양을 감소시저 잠복 현상을 억제할 것으로 조사되었다.

출력운전 동안 원자로 냉각재의 정화 없이 운전하는 SMART원자로의 수화학 설계 요건을 정립하기 위하여 핵연료 피복관 및 계통재질의 부식을 최소화하고 부식 생성물의 방사화에 의한 방사선 준위의 상승을 억제하기 위한 수화학 운전 변수에 대한 정성적인 분석을 시도하였다. 원자로냉각재 의 pH 제어 계통을 구성하는 재질의 부식에 따른 건전성, 부식생성물의 거동 및 원자로 냉각재의 방사선 준위 측면에서 수화학 설계 요건이 적절한지의 여부를 살펴보았다 분석 결과, 원자로냉각재의 pH 제어는 암모니아를 이용하므로 높은 pH(= 9.5∼10.6)에서 운전이 가능하며, 계통재질의 부식을 최소화하며 방사선 준위의 상승을 억제할 수 있었다. 또한 SMART 증기발생기 튜브에 사용된 titanium 합금은 주어진 운전 조건하에서 Inconel-600보다 내 부식성이 매우(약 12 배) 우수하였다.

The internal corrosion of water distribution systems is the main cause for the problem of the public health threat as well as water leakage in the damaged pipeline, red water, and odor and taste of the tap water. This study was examined the effect of chemicals used for pH and alkalinity control and corrosion inhibitors for producing the optimal corrosion control method. Corrosion study at different pH and alkalinity indicated that these control using alkaline chemicals was effective in corrosion rate, Fe release reduction, but examined to be increased in turbidity and corrosion-by-products(TTHMs) problems. The turbidity was slightly increased, requiring caution in controlling corrosion with $Ca(OH)_2$. At pH 9.0, TTHMs concentration is increased two times corn pared with non-control of pH. Using the pipe which had experienced 28 years of exposure, iron release was decreased with the corrosion inhibitor. Consequently, pH, Alkalinity control method using alkaline chemicals must be complemented by corrosion inhibitor application for efficient corrosion control.
