An electrochemical reduction of a mixture of NiO and rare earth oxides has been conducted to increase the reduction degree of rare earth oxides. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurement was carried out to determine the electrochemical reduction behavior of the mixed oxide in molten LiCl medium. Constant voltage electrolysis was performed with various supplied charges to understand the mechanism of electrochemical reduction of the mixed oxide as a working electrode. After completion of the electrochemical reduction, crystal structure of the reaction intermediates was characterized by using an X-ray diffraction method. The results clearly demonstrate that the rare earth oxide was converted to RE-Ni intermetallics via co-reduction with NiO.

High temperature thermal behaviors of EAF dust by coke at initial reaction stage were studied to obtain the fundamental data of EAF dust treatment process, that is Extended Arc Plasma Furnace System called RAPID system. In this study thermal behaviors including calcination of limestone, devolatilization of EAF dust itself, and reduction & devolatilization of mixture(EAF dust : coke : limestone = 80 : 10 : 10 wt.%) were investigated as functions of reaction temperature (1000~1300$^{\circ}C$) and reaction time (3~12 min), considering the 180% equivalence of carbon reduction and 1.7 bacisity for optimum reduction and melting of EAF dust in the RAPID system. Size of sample was about below 0.1 mm for these experiments. Limestone was completely calcined at above 1100$^{\circ}C$ within 1 minutes. In the case of devolatilization of EAF dust itself, weight loss of EAF dust was about 14% at 1300$^{\circ}C$ and 12 minutes, and partial sintering and melting were found in part of sample. Weight loss of mixtures increased with increasing reaction temperature and time, about 46% weight loss in it was occurred at 1300$^{\circ}C$ and 12 minutes. From these weight losses showing devolatilization and reduction of EAF dust, the treatment time of EAF dust inside.

산업화가 가속화되며 독성 중금속에 의한 토양, 지하수 및 하상퇴적물의 오염사례가 증가하고 있다. 지표 산화환경에서의 이들 중금속의 이동 및 거동에 관한 연구는 그간 수차례 수행된 바 있고 이에 관하여 적절한 오염처리기법 개발에 관한 연구도 다수 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 중금속이 심부 환원환경으로 이동한 경우에 대하여는 이들 오염물질의 거동 및 그에 따른 적절한 처리에 관한 연구가 거의 수행된 바 없는 실정이다. (중략)

Chromium oxide/zirconia catalysts were prepared by dry impregnation of $Zr(OH)_4$ powder with aqueous solution of $(NH_4)_2CrO_4$ followed by calcining in air. The redox behavior of prepared catalysts were investigated by reacting cumene as test material over catalysts. As a result it was found that $Cr^{6+}$ species(as chromate) on the surface of catalyst was responsible for the formation of strong acid site and the catalytic activity for the dealkylation of cumene. However, much of the $Cr^{6+}$ species was reduced to $Cr^{3+}$ species by $H_2$ formed during the catalytic reaction of cumene and the reduced $Cr^{3+}$ species was an active site for dehydrogenation of cumene to form ${\alpha}$-methyl styrene. The reduced $Cr^{3+}$ species was also reoxidized to a $Cr^{6+}$ species after treatment with $O_2$ and consequently the deoxidized catalyst exhibited catalytic activity for the dealkylation reaction of cumene.

Hematite reduction using hydrogen was conducted and the various process parameters were closely observed. A lab scale fluidized bed unit was designed especially for this study. The optimal values of the gas velocity, reduction time and temperature were evaluated. The values which indicated the highest reduction rate were set as fixed parameters for the following tests starting with the reduction time of 30 minutes and 750 ℃ of temperature. Among these variables the one with the highest interest was the gas specific consumption. It will tell the amount of the gas which is required to achieve a reduction rate of over 90% at the optimal conditions. This parameter is important for the scale up of the lab scale unit. 1,500 Nm³/ton-ore was found to be the optimal specific gas consumption rate at which the reduction rates exhibit the highest values for hematite.

Negative differential resistance(NDR) behaviors of Keggin-type and Wells-Dawson-type heteropolyacids with cation, heteroatom, and polyatom substitutions were investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy. A reliable correlation between NDR peak voltage and reduction potential of heteropolyacid catalysts was established. It was found that more reducible heteropolyacid catalyst showed NDR behavior at less negative voltage, regardless of the structural difference. Thus, NDR peak voltage of heteropolyacid catalyst could be utilized as a single correlating parameter for the reduction potential of heteropolyacid catalyst.

실증규모의 수지충전식 전기투석 재생조를 사용하여 농축음극액내 바나듐의 전기화학적 환원 방법에 의한 재생거동을 조사하였다. 전기투석 분리재생 종료후 남아있는 개미산용액을 전해액으로 사용한 농축음극액내 전기투석된 철 및 코발트는 음극액의 pH를 약 4.3내외로 조절하면 전해환원에 의해 전착.제거된다. 또한 농축음극액내 바나듐은 +2가로 전해환원 되어 착화물을 이루고 있는 Vanadous picolinate 형태로 존재하기 때문에 음극액은 농축된 LOMI 제염제로 재생된다. 이 전해환원에 의한 농축음극액의 재생방법은 제염폐액의 전기투석 분리재생 후 피콜리네이트 착화제만을 재사용하는 기존의 재생개념보다 더욱 효과적으로 제염폐액을 재생시켜 재활용할 순 있는 방사성폐기물의 감용효율이 큰 향상된 제염폐액 재생공정이다.

The polarographic behavior of 4-(2-pyridylazo)-resorcinol(PAR) in acetonitrile solution was studied. In order to investigate the type of reduction current at every reduction step, dependence of limiting current on the height of mercury head, solution temperature, and concentration of PAR have been examined. The results were shown that the reduction current was controlled by diffusion. And the effect of proton donor such as water and phenol on DC polarograms of PAR and the reversibility of every reduction wave have been evaluated. Based on the experimental results, the polarographic reduction of PAR in acetonitrile solution occurred in two one-electron steps.

Iron-bearing dust which stems from steelworks were pelletized and bonded with portland cement in order to attempt to use for blast iurnace burdens. The characterist~cs of cold bonded dust pellet were investigated. It was found that the compression strength of cold bonded pellet contaning portland cement of 10 wt.% reached above 150kg/p by proper curing treatment. Direcl contad of carbon with iron oxides seems to greately enhance a reduction reaction and herewxth increased chances to lorn pores at high temperature environment. Tumbler strength, RDI, and swelling of cold bonded pellet were similiar to and/or better than those of iron ore sinter and fired pellet.

Behaviro of ZrO2-C mateial used for submerged entry nozzle in thin slab casting was investigated. De-gradation of the material has been found to result from breakup of zirconia aggregate refered to as "destabilization" Destabilization is almost completed during preheating procedure and shows an increasing tendency as the purity of zirconia aggregate decreases and as the content of metallic Si used in ZrO2-C aggregate during preheating. Such concentrated components make grain boundary wider but do not cause any additional destabilization of zirconiaf zirconia.
