본 연구는 퍼클로레이트의 생물학적 환원 과정에 있어서 고농도의 염이 미생물에게 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 다양한 방법을 통해서 알아보고 적절한 모델링 접근을 통하여 최적 환원속도를 위한 반응조 조건 및 설계에 필요한 요소들을 도출하기 위해 수행되었다. 100mL 합성폐수를 포함하는 플라스크를 이용한 실험이 수행되었고, 일정 농도의 퍼클로레이트와 유일 탄소원으로 아세트산나트륨이 사용되었다. 염화나트륨 농도가 $7490{\mu}s/cm$에서 $23700{\mu}s/cm$까지 증가하는 동안 퍼클로레이트의 생물학적 환원 속도는 현저하게 감소하였으며, $32100{\mu}s/cm$ 이상의 염화나트륨 농도에서는 퍼클로레이트가 환원되지 않았다. 동일한 농도의 염화나트륨, 염화암모늄, 염산 및 황산이 포함된 하수에서는 퍼클로레이트의 환원속도가 모두 비슷하였다.

퍼클로레이트 이온($ClO_4^-$)는 자연적으로 혹은 인공적으로 만들어지며 퍼클로릭산이나 암모늄 퍼클로레이트나, 포타슘 퍼클로레이트 혹은 소듐퍼클로레이트 염의 형태로 존재하며, 물에 아주 잘 녹고, 끓여도 제거되지 않으며, 활성 탄소와 같은 광물에도 흡착 되지 않는 성질로 인해, 기존 물리적인 정수 방법으로는 제거하기 어렵다. 또한 우리 몸에 흡수되면, 요오드가 갑상선에 흡수되는 작용을 방해하여 갑상선 기능장애를 초래한다. 이러한 퍼클로레이트 이온의 제거방법으로는 이온교환법이나 생물학적 방법 등이 개발되어져 있으나, 제거 시스템에 이동 및 안전한 농도까지 제거 등의 문제점으로 인한 퍼클로레이트 이온을 환원시키는 촉매 환원 반응에 의한 퍼클로레이트 이온 제거 기술 개발이 필요하다. 이런 촉매 환원에 필요한 수소 환원제를 발생시키기 위해서, 본 연구에서는 Carbon felt 위에 DC magnetron sputtering에 의한 thin film $TiO_2$과 regine을 이용한 powder $TiO_2$ 시편을 제작하였다. 이렇게 제작 된 $TiO_2$/Carbon felt의 미세구조 및 특성은 XRD, SEM, UV-vis-NIR 등을 통하여 분석하였다. UV 조사에 의해 $TiO_2$/Carbon felt 시편의 산소와 수소 발생과 DC bias의 걸어주었을 때 산소와 수소 발생 차이 등을 비교하였고, 이에 따른 퍼클로 레이트 이온의 분해 영향을 알아보았다.

Different kinds of solid rocket motors manufactured for various aim have their own shelf life. So they must be done away if not used. In general, ammonium perchlorate(AP) has used in the process of solid rocket motors, which is environmental pollutant. Out-burning and out-detonation were usual in the past, but they polluted the surrounding environment and raised safety issues. As an alternative to resolve these, water-washout process to separate the propellant from rocket motors and an eco-friendly way for recovering AP are studied in this paper.

Ammonium perchlorate (AP) is primarily derived from the process of liquid incineration treatment when dismantling a solid rocket propellant. A series of batch dead-end nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membrane experiments were conducted to explore the retention mechanisms of AP under various hydrodynamic and solution conditions. Low levels of silicate type of siloxane had been detected through the GC/MS and FTIR analysis of liquid solutions extracted from solid ammonium perchlorate composite propellant (APCP). It is indicated that NF/RO membranes fouling in the presence of APCP was mainly attributed to the AP interactions because the concentration of silicate type of siloxane was negligible compared to that of AP. The osmotic pressure of AP was presumably resulted in the flux declines ranging from 13 to 17% in the case of the application of low-pressure (551 and 896 kPa for NF and RO) compared to those in application of high-pressure. The retention of AP by NF/RO membranes significantly varied from approximately 10 to 70% for NF and 26 to 87% for RO, depending on the operating and solution water chemistry conditions. The results suggested that retention efficiency of AP was fairly increased by reducing concentration polarization (i.e. application of low-pressure and stirring speed of 600 rpm) and increasing the pH of a solution. The result of this study was also consistent with the previous modeling of 'solute mass transfer of NF/RO membranes' and demonstrated that hydrodynamic and solution water chemistry conditions are to be a key factor in the retention of AP by NF/RO membranes.

The feasibility of perchlorate reducing-bacteria isolated from the sludge of an anaerobic digester was determined using ammonium perchlorate in aqueous medium. Growth kinetics of the two perchlorate reducing bacteria including Rhodococcus sp. YSPW01 and YSPW02 were investigated using acetate as the electron donor in batch experiment. The growth of YSPW01 and YSPW02 reached a steady-state at 26 and 9 h, respectively. The initial perchlorate concentration was completely reduced within 8 and 7 h by YSPW01 and YSPW02, respectively. The reduction rates were 2.1 and $15mg\;L^{-1}h^{-1}$ for YSPW01, and 3.2 and $15.5mg\;L^{-1}h^{-1}$ for YSPW02, at 1:1 and 5:1 ratios of acetate:perchlorate (w:w), respectively. In this study, the bacteria Rhodococcus sp. YSPW01 and YSPW02 demonstrated a potential for the perchlorate reduction, which could be further investigated for development of an efficient strategy to treat the perchlorate contaminated waters.

We conducted an isothermal slow cook-off(ISCO) test for an aluminized explosive containing AP. The sample bulged before the run-away reaction, and therefore we were unable to obtain the ISCO data. However, these phenomena did not occur for a certain AP grade, which means that the quality of the AP exerted a significant effect on the thermal stability of the explosive formulation. In this study, we investigated the thermal stability difference between a good and bad AP grade. First, we characterized the thermal properties of all APs by Differential Scanning Calorimeter(DSC) and correlated them to the ISCO phenomena. In addition to the DSC study and ISCO test, we also investigated and calculated the SADT and self-heating rate by the ARC of the different AP qualities to interpret the thermal stability of the explosive formulation. Moreover, we investigated the impurity of the AP and a preparation method to remove the included impurity and crystallization. Finally, we implemented qualification methods to identify the quality of AP by DSC using a high-pressure crucible.
