Chemical wastes are generated from nuclear facilities and R&D laboratories, but the uranium concentration in the final dried cake is evaluated into 11.2 Bq/g, which exceeds the exemption level of 10 Bq/g for each U isotopes, so the cake is categorized into a radioactive waste. Acid dissolution was applied to extract uranium from the waste sludge, and uranium adsorption on the dissolved solution was experimented by using IRN-77 and Diphosil bead. A large amount of resin was required to get above 80% of uranium removal, which was found to be due to a large amount of metal ions simultaneously dissolved from the precipitates with uranium. As an alternative method, acid dissolution is applied to the dewatered wet cake of the sludge, and the natural evaporation method is adopted for the dissolved solution. The uranium concentration of the dissolved solution was estimated to be 6.97E-01 Bq/ml, and the specific activity of the final waste sheets is evaluated to be 4.3 Bq/g. These results lead to the suggestion that the application of acid dissolution to the wet cake and the natural evaporation for the dissolved solution is an effective treatment method for chemical wastes containing uranium.

To use the filter materials for reduction of carbonyl compounds in cigarette mainstream smoke, the bead type cation and anion exchangers were synthesized by the suspension polymerization of GMA and DVB followed by the subsequent functionalization with sodium sulfite and diethylamine, respectively. FT-IR/ATR was used to characterize functionalized copolymer formation by sulfonation and amination, and the morphology change of ion exchangers according to the adsorption of cigarette mainstream smoke were observed by SEM. Ion exchange capacity, functionalization yield and adsorption properties of carbonyl compounds in cigarette mainstream smoke were investigated. The highest functionalization yields and ion exchange capacity were obtained at 5 wt% DVB content in co-monomer. The adsorption amount of carbonyl compounds in cigarette mainstream smoke of anion exchanger was higher than that of cation exchanger because of its electron delocalization in carbonyl group. The adsorption efficiency was increased in the presence of moisture. This results indicated that the anion exchanger was applicable for cigarette filter material because of its large ion exchange capacity and rapid ion exchange reaction.

In this paper, stress analysis anda 3-point bending fatigue test were conducted on the full-scale specimen to investigate the effects of misalignment at the U-rib welded joint due to misfitting in the steel deck bridge. In addition, the researchers investigated the direction and starting point of fatigue cracks by SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and beach mark. The results of the stress analysis show that maximum stress occurred at the bottom corner of the U-rib, and that the stress was large when the magnitude of the misalignment was large. On the other hand, the results of the static loading test of the full-scale specimen show that stress was large at the bottom corner of the U-rib. In addition, fatigue life was short when the misalignment was large and fatigue life was short when the misalignment was large and fatigue life was short when the misalignment was large and fatigue life was large when the misalignment was small, as indicated by the results of both the static loading test and the fatigue test. From the observation of the failure surface, fatigue cracks began manifesting at the root of the base metal and proceeded to the bead surface (weld toe).

본 연구는 핫셀(Hot-cell)에서의 활용을 전제로 핵연료 봉단용접기술로 개발되고 있는 래이저(Laser) 용접기술을 핵연료봉 퍼복재인 Zircaloy-4에 적용하여 그 용접성에 대한 기초적 특성을 분석하고, 관련 용접변수들의 용접성에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 사용된 용접기는 평균출력 150W급인 펄스형 Nd:YAG 레이저 용접기였으며, 보호가스 (shielding gas) 종류와 유량(flow rate), 용접속도(travel speed), 초점위치(focus position), 빔 파워(beam power), 시편의 표면거칠기(specimen surface roughness) 등의 용접변수가 용입 깊이와 용접비드 폭, 기계적 특성, 그리고 용접결함에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 그 결과 용접변수로 범 파워 125W이상, 초점위치 2mm, 그리고 보호가스로는 He가스가 적절하였으며, 시편의 표면거칠기가 거칠수록 용입깊이가 깊었다. 본 연구를 통해 핵연료봉 피복재 Zircaloy-4의 레이저 용접시 신뢰성 있는 용접조건을 확립하기 위한 기초자료를 얻을 수 있었다.

최근, 아이팟, 아이패드, 스마트폰 등의 휴대정보 기기의 수요가 급격히 증가하면서, 고집적성(테라비트급), 초소형, 초고속성, 고신뢰성을 확보할 수 있는 나노스케일(nano-scale)의 비휘발성 메모리(Non-volatile Memory; NVM) 소자 개발에 많은 연구가 집중되고 있다. 현재, 기존 CMOS 반도체 공정과 호환성이 우수하면서 고집적성의 특성이 가능한 전하트랩 플래시(Chrage Trap Flash : CTF) 메모리 소자가 차세대 비휘발성 메모리로써 각광 받고 있다. 하지만, 이러한 CTF 소자가 32 nm 이하로 스케일 다운이 되면서, ONO 층의 크기와 두께가 상당히 작고 얇아짐에 따라, 메모리 트랩수가 상당히 줄어들기 때문에 프로그램/소거 상태를 인지하는 메모리 윈도우의 마진을 확보하는데 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 500 nm 크기를 갖는 폴리스티렌 비드(bead)를 이용한 나노 리소그래피 공정으로 질화막 표면에 roughness를 주어, 질화막과 블로킹 산화막의 경계면에 메모리 트랩의 표면적이 증가시켜, 메모리 윈도우 증가와 프로그램 속도를 개선을 구현하였다.

Exhaust manifold is generally subjected to thermal cycle loadings ; at hot condition, large compressive plastic deformations are generated, and at cold condition, tensile stresses are remained in highly deformed critical zones. These phenomena originate from that thermal expansions of the runners are restricted by inlet flange connected to the cylinder head, because the former is less stiff than the latter and, the temperature of the inlet flange is lower than that of the runners. Therefore, due to the repetitions of thermal deformation, leakage problems could be occur between inlet flange and cylinder head. In this study, we obtained pressure distributions along gasket bead lines from the finite element analysis and compared to the test results. It shows a good agreement between numerical and experimental results.

This paper was composed with fatigue test of the cruciform specimens, as load carrying and non-load carrying type. It also has performed computational analyses for geometric condition of the fillet welding bead. As test results, the effect of stress ratio in the specimen was insignificant. Stress ranges were varied with R=0.1~0.2. The fatigue cracks that were found in the load carrying type specimens and most specimens welded with contact were developed at the end of welds. The fatigue strength of specimen that have fractured in maternal plate was found about ${\Delta}\sigma_c$=63.5MPa. It's about 24% less than that of the non-load carrying type specimens having about ${\Delta}\sigma_c$=83.8MPa. A category of the Fatigue design specifications which provide for cruciform details was defined grade C as a stress of the maternal member. And then, the fatigue strength to be transformed into the maternal stress was found about 78.27 MPa, it tends to be less than that of allowable fatigue strength.

A vertical column pneumatic separator was modified to improve its separation performance. A branch column was installed at the center of the main column, which created a bypass flow and changed the flow rate of the main column before and after the branch column. To separate a mixture comprising light and heavy materials, the airflow in main column after the branch column was set to lift the only light materials and the airflow in main column before the branch column was set to prevent the flow of the light materials from flowing downwards. Materials directed into the branch column were separated from the flow and returned to the feeder through the cyclone linked to the branch column. The performances of the straight-type separator and the modified separator were compared using glass and zirconia beads with a narrow size distribution.

We investigated the microstructure and morphological characteristics of microplastics added to rinse off cosmetics by scanning electron microscope. The size of the microplastic was in a wide range of sizes, from $250{\mu}m$ to 1.5mm in diameter. The small microplastics were in the shape of elongated particles and the large microplastics were cuboidal. Most cubic microplastics were observed in the form of squares or rectangles. The surface of the cubic microplastic was smoothly observed without protruding portions, but irregularly many gaps were formed. The gap between openings was measured from about $5{\mu}m$ to $20{\mu}m$. It has not been confirmed that these gaps are formed from the surface of the microplastic to the inside there of.
