In accordance with the amendment of the Industrial Safety and Health Act of 2007, Korea completely prohibited the import, distribution and manufacture of asbestos like Europe and Japan. Accordingly, the current problem of asbestos is the safe maintenance and disposal of asbestos construction material, the disposal of asbestos, and the final disposal of asbestos building materials. If the asbestos building material is made harmless, it may be classified as general waste or as recyclable waste. Therefore, this study evaluated the physical and chemical characterization of detoxified asbestos powder and the applicability of secondary products. In this study, it was found that applying the appropriate temperature and pressure for catalysis during asbestos desalination through low temperature chemical treatment was the most important factor.

The physical properties of gold investment materials are depending on it's thermal expansion coefficients, compressive strength, and particles size distributions. Normally the gold investment materials are consisted of cristobalite, quartz and plaster. Since the thermal expansion coefficient of cristobalite and quartz are $2.6\times10^{-6}/^\circC$, $2.32\times10^{-6}/^\circC$, respectively, the composition ratio of each components influence the thermal and clinical properties of gold investment materials. Recently are imported from overseas and the commercial market is expected to expand. Thus it is necessary to develop the optimum strength and compressive strength of gold investment materials which the an homogeneous size distribution and thermal expansion coefficients. Therefore two different experiments has been done. Firstly the homogeneous cristobalite and quartz are made by pulverizing milling. Secondly the compressive strength and thermal expansion coefficients are analysed by the composition ratio of cristobalite and quartz. As a results of experiments, homogeneous distribution of cristobalite and quartz are observed by pulverizing and milling. The optimum compressive strength was obtained at the ratio of 45:25 cristobalite, quartz respectively.

In this study, to suggest an efficient method of using coal gasification slag(CGS), a byproduct from integrated gasification combined cycle(IGCC), as a combined fine aggregate for concrete mixture, the diverse performances of concrete mixtures with combined fine aggregates of CGS, river sand, and crushed sand were evaluated. Additionally, using CGS, the reduction of the hydration heat and the strength developing performance were analyzed to provide a method for reducing the heat of hydration of mass concrete by using combined fine aggregate with CGS and replacing fly ash with cement. The results of the study can be summarized as follows: as a method of recycling CGS from IGCC as concrete fine aggregate, a combination of CGS with crushed sand offers advantages for the concrete mixture. Additionally, when the CGS combined aggregate is used with low-heat-mix designed concrete with fly ash, it has the synergistic effect of reducing the hydration heat of mass concrete compared to the low-heat-designed concrete mixture currently in wide use.

In this research, the microwave oven drying method was investigated as a potential accurate testing approach for determining the water content of fresh concrete. To do so, water content estimation formulas employed in three prominent oven drying test methods were selected, and the calculation principles for each equation, along with potential error factors arising during the actual testing process, were considered. Moreover, a concrete test was conducted to validate the possible error factors. Consequently, it was confirmed that estimation errors in the water content of fresh concrete can occur due to sample deviations arising during the wet screening process for creating mortar specimens or deviations in the coarse aggregate sampling quantity during the sample collection process.

Phenolic resin has excellent heat resistance and good mechanical properties as a thermosetting resin. However, its thermosetting characteristics cause it to produce a non-recyclable waste in the form of sprue and runner which is discarded and represents up to 15~20% of the overall products. Forty thousand tons of phenolic resin sprue and runner are disposed of (annually). The (annual) cost of such domestic waste disposal is calculated to be 20 billion won. In this study, discarded phenol resin scraps were pulverized and treated by silanes to improve their interfacial adhesion with HDPE. The sizes of the pulverized pulverulent bodies and fine particles were (100um~1000um) and (1~100um), respectively. The pulverized phenol resin was treated with 3-(methacryloyloxy) propyltrimethoxysilane and vinyltrimethoxy silane and the changes in its characteristics were evaluated. The thermal properties were evaluated by DSC and HDT. The mechanical properties were assessed by a notched Izod impact strength tester. When the silane treated phenol resin was added, the heat distortion temperature of HDPE increased from $77^{\circ}C$ to $96^{\circ}C$ and its crystallinity and crystallization temperature also increased. Finally, its impact strength and tensile strength increased by 20% and 50%, respectively, in comparison with the non-treated phenol resin.

The research performed a test concerning the fluidity and strength of concrete manufactured by combining lime stone power, fly ash, and blast furnace slag into two and three component systems, aiming at evaluating rheological and dynamic properties of concrete by manufacturing High Flowing Self-Compacting according to the strength changes of three levels. As a result of the research, for High Flowing Self-Compacting of 30 MPa, the combination of lime stone power 20% and fly ash 30% for securing quality and strength and adjusting viscosity satisfied the required performance. For High Flowing Self-Compacting of 50 MPa, the combination of blast furnace slag 10% and fly ash 20% satisfied the fluidity and strength of the requirement performance. Also, for 70 MPa that has many power contents, the combination of blast furnace slag 20% and fly ash 10% for the increase of fluidity and the reduction of viscosity satisfied the required performance. It is judged that fly ash in all combinations can be used to secure viscosity and reduce concrete amount. In addition, it is judged that for High Flowing Self-Compacting according to the levels of compressive strength the combination of three component system including fly ash is more appropriate than the combination of two component system.

최근의 산업활동에서는 신규 원료 개발과 생산 효율성을 높이기 위하여 분체 공정이 증가하고 있는데, 미세 분진의 취급으로 분진운의 형성과 착화가 용이해지므로 분진폭발이나 화재 위험성이 증가하고 있다. 분진을 안전하게 사용하고 저장, 취급하기 위해서는 착화 전의 위험성 지표로서 최저발화온도(MIT ; Minimum Ignition Temperature)를 사전에 파악해 두는 것이 중요하다. 분진농도의 발화온도는 장치 내의 발화위험성이나 분진 취급 공정의 사고예방대책 관리를 위한 실용적 관점에서 중요하게 활용되는 폭발특성값이다. 또한 분진의 발화온도는 분진농도에 의존하며 농도변화에 따른 가장 낮은 온도를 MIT라고 한다. 본 연구에서는 화재폭발사고 빈도가 줄지 않고 있는 Mg 및 Mg-Al합금(60:40 wt%, 50:50 wt%, 40:60 wt%)을 대상으로 조성비율에 따른 최저발화온도를 실험적으로 조사하였다. Mg 및 Mg-Al(60:40 wt%), Mg-Al(50:50 wt%), Mg-Al(40:60 wt%) 시료의 평균입경은 142, 160, 151, $152{\mu}m$이다. MIT실험장치는 IEC 61241-2-1(Methods for Determining the Minimum Ignition Temperatures of Dust, 1994)에 준거하여 제작하여 사용하였다. 실험장치는 가열로, 분진운 시료홀더, 온도조절장치, 압축공기 제어장치 등으로 구성되어 있다. 구체적인 실험방법은 시험분진를 분진홀더에 장착하고 0.5 bar의 압축공기를 0.3 sec 동안 사용하여 일정 온도로 가열된 로의 내부로 분진운을 부유시킬 때에 분진운이 발화하여 가열로 하단부의 개방구에까지 화염이 전파하는지를 디지털비데오카메라로 기록, 평가하여 발화 유무를 판정하였다. Mg합금에 대한 MIT를 측정한 결과 $740^{\circ}C$가 얻어졌으며, Mg-Al(60:40 wt%)의 MIT는 $820^{\circ}C$로 조사되었다. 그러나 Mg-Al(50:50 wt%) 및 Mg-Al(40:60 wt%)에 대해서는 최대 가열로의 설정온도를 $890^{\circ}C$까지로 하여 농도를 변화시키면서 조사하였으나 발화가 일어나지 않았다. 문헌에 따르면 Mg입자 표면의 산화피막은 다공성으로 일정 온도에서 산화반응이 시간에 따라 직선적으로 증가하는데 반하여, Al의 산화피막은 보호 작용을 하여 일정 온도에서 산화반응속도가 표면과 내부의 농도 기울기에 의한 확산속도에 의존한다고 보고하고 있다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 Mg-Al합금의 발화특성을 고찰해 보면, Mg-Al합금에서 자기 전파성이 작은 Al성분의 증가는 착화지연이 증가하여 연소성이 감소하여 최저발화온도의 증가로 이어지는 것으로 추정되었다. 또한 발화온도는 주어진 조건의 온도장에서 분진이 존재하는 시간 길이에 따라 변화하므로, 발화온도를 실험적으로 측정하는 경우에는 측정장치나 방법에 따라 달라지므로 사업장의 현장에 발화온도를 적용하는 경우에는 장치 내의 분진의 존재시간을 고려할 필요가 있다.

The difference of plasma resistance between the CAS glass bulk and coating films were compared. Plasma resistance was confirmed by analyzing the etch rate and the microstructure of the surface when the CAS glass bulk and the glass coating film were etched with CF₄/O₂/Ar plasma gas. CAS glass coating film was etched up to 25 times faster than the glass bulk. A statistically high correlation between the surface roughness and the etching rate of the coating film was derived, and thus, the high surface roughness of the coating film was determined to cause rapid etching. In addition, cristobalite crystals that has a low Ca content and a high Si content, was foamed on the glass coating film. Therefore, the CAS glass coating film is considered to have low plasma resistance compared to the glass bulk.
