토양에 방치된 농업용 폐비닐은 거의 분해가 되지 않으며, 수분과 공기의 유통을 차단하고 토양 내 미생물들의 흐름을 막아 토양을 더욱 황폐화시키게 된다. 불법적인 소각 때는 산불의 위험에다 다이옥신, 염소 및 염화수소가스 등을 배출해 대기오염을 유발시킨다. 폐비닐을 열분해과정으로 처리하여 아주 작은 입자로 미분쇄하고 겔상태로 용융된 원료물질속으로 완전히 균일하게 혼합하여 골재로 활용하는 과정에서 가스상과 액상의 여러 가지 중간생성물질이 발생하게 되며, 농약의 살포에 의한 잔류농약 둥 인체에 유해가능한 요소들이 있을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 개발공정이나 제품에서 인체에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 물질에 대하여 유해성을 평가하고 용응 겔 및 가스와 오일에 함유된 화학성분을 분석하였기에 보고하고자 한다 시험동물의 혈액생화학적 검사에서는 농업용 폐비닐물질 및 열분해 파생물질의 혈청 Cholesterol, 혈청 Alanine aminotranseferse와 Aspartate aminotransferse, Albumin 수치, LDH, Glucose, Uric acid, A/C 비 등의 생화학적 활성도를 측정한 결과들에서는 농업용 폐비닐물질을 투여한 시험군에서 나타난 결과와 비교하여 열분해 파생물질을 투여한 시험군에서 나타난 결과가 감소된 통계결과를 보였다. 이 결과들은 농업용 폐비닐물질을 투여한 시험군보다 열분해 파생물질을 투여한 시험군의 외부독성물질 투여에 의한 생체독성의 영향과 생체에 가해진 스트레스강도가 작았음을 의미하는 것이다. 잔류농약분석에서는 시료로부터 농약을 추출하는 용매추출과정, 시료추출물 중 공존하는 방해성분을 제거하는 정제과정, 폐비닐물질 및 열분해 파생물질 성분을 100mg/kg 이상군의 투여 후 시험동물의 부검시 모든 투여군에서 독성소견이 인정되지 않았다. 이와 같은 결과로 열분해 및 연소과정에서 발생하는 파생물질의 분석결과를 응용하여 대기오염을 방지하고 인체 유해물질을 차단하는 공해 방지 설계의 기초자료를 제안하고자 한다.

The effect of pressure on the phase transformation in Fe-30Ni-0.35C Alloy and pure metals was investigated by using PDSC(pressure differential scanning calorimeter). As the pressure increased from 1 atm to 60 atm, the $A_s$points of the ausformed martensite and the marformed martensite in Fe-30Ni-0.35C Alloy were lowered about $2~4^{\circ}C$ at reverse transformation. This is why the volume change came down at phase transition(from martensite to autenite). As the pressure increased from 1 atm to 60 atm, $A_f$ points were constant or slightly increased. This is due to the promotion of carbide precipitation with increasing pressure. The enthalpy change of the ausformed martensite in Fe-30Ni-0.35C Alloy was increased by 10~14J/g. The melting points of the pure metals, Se, Sn, Pb, Zn and Te were slightly increased with increasing pressure. The enthalpy changes of the pure metals at melting were little changed or slightly increased with increasing pressure.

Melt blend of PA6/PP-g-MA system containing SEBS-g-MA as a compatible impact modifier was prepared to investigate the change of mechanical properties and morphologies. The tensile strength slightly decreased, but the elongation at break increased with increasing content of SEBS-g-MA in the blend. Also the notched izod impact strength increased with increasing the content of PP-g-MA and SEBS-g-MA. It is attributed to improved compatibilization and interfacial adhesion by reaction of the amide of PA6 with maleic anhydride of SEBS-g-MA and PP-g-MA. The result of dynamic mechanical analysis(DMA) showed a typical behavior of the compatibilization in the polymer blends. Finally, in the phase structure observed by the use of SEM, we confirmed improvement of the compatibilization and interfacial adhesion with increasing the content of SEBS-g-MA and PP-g-MA.

Wood plastic composites (WPCs) are attracting a lot of interest recently. In this study, wood flour/polyethylene (PE) composites panels comprised of a coupling agent and nanoclay were prepared by melt-blending followed by compression molding. Five maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (MAPE) coupling agents were tested, and the best choice and its optimum content were determined. The mechanical properties of the WPCs were measured by UTM, and the thermal properties were measured by TGA, DMA, DSC, and TMA. Adding just a small amount (1 phr) of organoclay made the tensile and flexural strength and the crystallinity of the WPC somewhat increase and the storage modulus and dimensional stability of the WPC largely increase. SEM images showed that the coupling agent drastically improved wood flour/PE interfacial bonding. Selecting the best coupling agent optimized content and adding a small amount of organoclay resulted in a high performance wood flour/PE composite.

The electrorefining process, one of main processes which are composed of pyroprocess to recover the useful elements from spent fuel, and the domestic development of electrorefiner have been reviewed. The electrorefiner is composed of an anode basket containing reduced spent fuel such as uranium, transuranic and rare earth elements, and a solid cathode, which are in LiCl-KCl eutectic electrolyte. Oxidation (dissolution) reaction occurs on the anode and a pure uranium is electrochemically reduced (deposited) on the solid cathode. By application of graphite cathode, which has a self-scrapping characteristics for the uranium deposits, and a recovery of the fallen deposits by a screw conveyer, a high-throughput continuous electrorefiner with a capacity of 20 kgU/day has been developed.

Polypropylene(PP)/polyurethane(PU) blends with reactive compatibilizers were prepared by the compositional quenching process. Maleic anhydride grafted PP(MPP) and hydroxyethyl maleimide grafted PP(HPP) were introduced as reactive compatibilizers. The formation of HPP and the reactions of compatibilizers with the PU components were confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy. The morphology, tensile properties, thermal stability, and surface property were studied. The blends prepared by the compositional quenching showed better dispersed domain morphology than the melt blends. The PU domain size became more uniform and reduced in size with increasing the amount of compatibilizers. The blends with HPP showed sightly smaller domain sire than the blends with MPP. The blends with compatibilizers all showed improved tensile properties, surface property. and thermal stability due to the interfacial adhesion effect. The blends with MPP showed higher surface energy than the blends with HPP, but the latter showed better thermal stability compared to the former.

Polymer/wood flour composites are recently attracting a lot of interest because they are economic and ecofriendly. In this study, the effects of wood flour size on the thermal and mechanical properties of a polypropylene/wood flour composite were investigated. Mechanical properties of the composite samples prepared by melt-mixing and compression molding were tested by UTM and an izod impact tester, and thermal properties of them were measured by TGA, DMA, DSC and TMA. The best coupling agent was selected by testing three kinds of maleic anhydride modified polypropylene coupling agents, and under the same condition, the effects of wood flour size on the physical properties of the composite were investigated. According to the test results for four different wood flour sizes of 600, 250, 180 and $150{\mu}m$, flexural strength, flexural modulus, crystallinity and water-resistivity of the composite increased with decreasing wood flour size.

The reaction characteristics of an integrated reactor with steam reformer and catalytic combustor using anode offgas for high temperature fuel cells such as MCFC and SOFC have been experimentally investigated in the present study. The coupled reactor had a coaxial cylindrical shape, and the inner and the outer tube was packed with combustion catalysts and reforming catalysts, respectively. Thus, the endothermic steam reforming could proceed by absorbing heat from catalytic combustion of anode offgas. Results show that increasing inlet temperature and decreasing excess air ratio increased the reformer temperature, which led to the increase in $H_2$ yield. The reforming performance for SOFC conditions was better than that for MCFC conditions since the composition of flammable components became smaller for MCFC cases. Measured reformate composition under various test conditions correlated well with thermal equilibrium composition.

Electric arc furnace steelmaking dust has various physicochemical properties as volatile components generated in the melting process of steel scraps in an electric arc furnace, which is captured in oxide form as fine powder by reacting with oxygen in the air. In order to efficiently recycle these electric arc furnace dust, a kinetic basic experiment and a pilot production test were carried out in parallel. As a result, it was found that the electric arc furnace dust contain a large amount of Cl and alkali components, thus it was expected that the compounds have a great adverse effect on the actual operation for the recycling. It was confirmed that the volatilization behavior was progressing actively at $1100^{\circ}C$ and the electric arc furnace dust was melted at $1250^{\circ}C$. These results are the same as a result of pilot test for the formation behavior of zinc oxide and reduced iron. These results should be useful as basic data for designing the recycling plant of the electric arc furnace dust and establishing the operating conditions.

-ray fluorescence analysis of $Ta_2O_5$, $Nb_2O_5$ and $ZrO_2$ in tin-slag samples using the simple dilution method was studied. The method is to correct mathematically the calibration curve to the linear line by the dilution. One synthesized standard having similar composition to the sample and tin slag samples were diluted with anhydrous $Li_2B_4O_7$ at the level of 1%, 2% and 3% of the sample content respectively. The diluted samples were fused at $1150^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes and these glass beads were finely ground and pelletized. Measuring the X-ray intensities with these pellets, analytical results were calculated by the equation derived from J. Scherman's equation for the characteristic X-ray intensity of an element. Analytical results agreed with the reference values obtained by the standard calibration method within allowable error range and were reproducible.
