A method was disclosed for making phase stabilized ammonium nitrate(PSAN), where the process involves precipitation of ammonium nitrate(AN) with potassium dinitramide(KDN) from the aqueous solutions of their salts using a salting out technique. The organic solvent used as a precipitant was acetonitrile. The DSC results showed that the precipitates are PSAN, and AN is stable over the temperature range from $0^{\cire}C$ to $80^{\cire}C$ if the KDN concentration in the precipitated solids is greater than about 6 wt.%. The particles prepared are expected to be useful as an oxidizer for the solid rocket propellants and explosives.

The effect of preparation method on the catalytic activities of the $Ni/Al_2O_3$ catalysts on steam reforming of ethylene glycol was investigated. The catalysts were prepared with various preparation methods such as an incipient wetness impregnation, wet impregnation, and coprecipitation method. In the case of coprecipitation method, various precipitants such as KOH, $K_2CO_3$, and $NH_4OH$ were compared. The prepared catalysts were characterized by using $N_2$ physisorption, inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, temperatureprogrammed reduction, pulsed $H_2$ chemisorption, temperature-programmed oxidation, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Among the catalysts reduced at 773 K, the $Ni/Al_2O_3$ catalyst prepared by a coprecipitation with KOH or $K_2CO_3$ as precipitants showed the best catalytic performance. The preparation method affected the particle size of Ni, reducibility of nickel oxides, catalytic performance (activity and stability), and types of coke formed during the reaction. The $Ni/Al_2O_3$ catalyst prepared by a coprecipitation with KOH showed the increasing catalytic activity with an increase in the reduction temperature from 773 to 1173 K because of an increase in the reduction degree of Ni oxide species even though the particle size of Ni increased with increasing reduction temperature.

Many problems are occurred by using industrial by-product and municipal solid waste in the cement manufacturing process. The main components of chlorine by-pass dust generated by the use of the wastes are $K^+$, $Cl^-$, and a slight amount of heavy metals is also contained. In terms of waste recycling, it is necessary to eliminate the heavy metals. Therefore, in this study, the experiments for the removal of heavy metals from KCl which was produced by chlorine by-pass dust were conducted. In order to find optimum conditions for the removal of heavy metals, we have controlled the amount of water and precipitator. The type and concentration of heavy metals in KCl were analyzed. The concentration of heavy metals decreased as amount of precipitator increased. The heavy metals such as Pb, Cd, and As were not detected in dust A and B, when the mixing ratios between dust A(B) and water were controlled to be 1:2 (1:2, 1:3.5) with the addition of 3% precipitator (NaOCl).

An experimental research on the preparation of zinc oxide fine particles in w/o emulsions was conducted. Precipitation solutions were zinc nitrate aqueous solutions with hexamethylenetetramine(HMTA) as precipitant. The precipitation solutions formed stable w/o emulsions with kerosine in the presence of Span 80. Homogeneous precipitation reaction occurred in the w/o emulsion after the resultant w/o emulsion was heated above the decomposition temperature of HMTA and zinc oxide particles were precipitated. In some case, zinc oxide particles of bi-modal distribution were obtained. However, zinc oxide fine particles of narrow particle size distribution could be obtained, even when the initial zinc concentration of precipitation solution and the conversion to zinc oxide are both higher that those in bulk homogeneous precipitation.

최근에 경제성장과 생활향상에 따른 물수요량이 급증함과 동시에 소비자의 질적요구가 강화되고 있는 실정이다. 기존 상수원인 하천의 수질오염으로 인하여 소비자의 요구사항을 충족시키기 위해서는 기존 정수처리법의 개선이 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존 급속여과법의 전염소 처리공정 및 응집.침전 공정의 개선을 통하여 음용수 수질을 개선하고자 하였다. 전염소 대신에 적용한 생물막여과 공정(BAF)의 처리효과 및 응집.침전 공정의 경우는 교반강도에 따른 침전효과에 따른 수질특성을 조사하였다. BAF공정은 탁월한 $NH_4$-N의 제거를 통하여 후속공정에 대한 오염부하량을 저감시킬수 있었고, 응집.침전의 경우 본 연구에서 제안한 응집제 주입량에 따른 교반강도의 실험식인에 의하여 구한 최적교반강도용 용집공정에 적용시 응집.침전의 효과를 향상시킨 수 있어 음용수 수질 향상을 기대 할 수 있었다.

In this study, the removal of Cs and Tc from a simulated fission products (FP) solution which were co-dissolved with U during the oxidative-dissolution of spent fuel in a mixed carbonate solution of $(Na_2CO_3-NaHCO_3)-H_2O_2$ was investigated by using a selective precipitation method. As Cs and Tc might cause an unstable behavior due to the high decay heat emission of Cs as well as the fast migration of Tc when disposed of underground, it is one of the important issues to removal them in views of the increase of disposal safety. The precipitation of Cs and Re (as a surrogate for Tc) was examined by introducing sodium tetraphenylborate (NaTPB) and tetraphenylphosponium chloride (TPPCl), respectively. Precipitation of Cs by NaTPB and that of Re by TPPCl were completed within 5 minutes. Their precipitation rates were not influenced so much by the temperature and stirring speed even if they were increased by up to $50^{\circ}C$ and 1,000 rpm. However, the pH of the solution was found to have a great influence on the precipitation with NaTPB and TPPCl. Since Mo tends to co-precipitate with Re at a lower pH, especially, it was effective that a selective precipitation of Re by TPPCl was carried out at pH of above 9 without co-precipitation of Mo and Re. Over 99% of Cs was precipitated when the ratio of [NaTPB]/[Cs]>1 and more than 99% of Re, likewise, was precipitated when the ratio of [TPPCl]/[Re]>1.

뮬라이트, 지르코니아, 뮬라이트/지르코니아 비수성 현탁액의 분산 및 레올로지에 미치는 공정보조제의 영향이 침전밀도, 점도, 입자크기를 측정함으로써 검토되었다. 현탁액의 분산안정성 (높은 침전밀도와 낮은 점도로 특징 된)은 분산제+가소제+결합제를 함유하는 경우에 비하여 분산제 또는 분산제+가소제를 함유하는 경우가 우수하였다. Ball mulling 후의 입자크기분포는 공정보조제의 종류에 거의 영향을 받지 않았다. 결합제를 부가적으로 함유하는 현탁액은 상대적으로 강한 shear thinning 거동을 나타내었다.

본 논문은 철강공장의 냉각수 처리 시스템에서 고로 집진수를 대상으로 한 응집교반실험을 실시한 결과, 주기적인 관 갱생작업(산세척)과 분산제의 주입이 필요하며, 음이온 고분자응집제에 양이온 고분자응집제를 첨가하여 사용할 경우에 탁도 제거측면에서 우수하였다. 급속교반 후 완속교반을 적용할 경우 급속교반 후 침전보다 탁도 제어 효과가 더 우수한 것으로 관찰되었으므로, 침전지의 처리효율을 증가시키기 위해서는 급속교반과 완속교반이 동시에 필요하였다.

In this study, the performance of Aluminium foil etching waste(PWF100) as a cohesive agent was estimated and the methods to commercialize it were investigated through comparison of physical properties between Aluminium foil etching waste(PWF100) and commercial cohesive agent(PAC17). The height of sediment bed was measured according ot the change of the concentration of BKN-100, BKR-110, and BKR-120 prepared by using PWF100. When the concentrations of BKN-100, BKR-110, and BKR-120 were increased, the heights of sediment bed were constant after decreased. Also, the density of sediment bed was investigated according to the change of the concentration of BKN-100. When the concentrations of BKN-100 were increased, the densities of sediment bed were decreased. In addition, based on the concentration of BKN-100, BKR-110, and BKR-120, the sediment rate was experimented. When the concentrations of BKN-100, BKR-110, and BKR-120 were increased, sediment rates were rapid and then slow. Moreover, the volumes of sediment bed were measured according to the change of the concentration of BKN-100. According to increasing the concentrations of BKN-100, the required time for getting to the minimum volume of sedment bed were reduced and then increased. Lastly, the required time for sedimentation based on the concentration of BKN-100, BKR-110, and BKR-120 was investigated. When the concentrations of BKN-100, BKR-110, and BKR-120 were increased, the required times for sedimentation were increased after decreased. From these results, it can be concluded that the PWF100 acts as a cohesive agent.

Catalytic combustion of benzene over CuO-$CeO_2$ mixed oxides prepared by co-precipitation method were investigated. The CuO-$CeO_2$ mixed oxides were also prepared using different precipitant and CuO precursor. They were characterized by XRD, BET, XPS and $H_2-TPR$. In the CuO-$CeO_2$ catalysts, characteristic copper oxide peaks were shown at $2{\Theta}=35.5^{\circ}$ and $38.5^{\circ}$ regardless of the precipitant. The Cu0.35 catalyst prepared using $NH_4OH$ as a precipitant revealed the highest activity on the combustion of benzene. In addition, the pretreatment with hydrogen enhanced the catalytic activity and the catalyst reduced at $400^{\circ}C$ showed the highest activity on the combustion of benzene.
