우리는 고분자 물질들에 대해서 전위와 전류 밀도의 변화를 측정하였다. 온도와 pH를 포함하여 전위와 속도에 대한 영향을 주는 여러 요인들에 밝히기 위하여, 연구 결과들이 주위 깊게 조사되었다. 양극 해리에 대한 Tafel 기울기는 이들 조건 하에서 분극 효과로 결정되었다. 각 경우에 최적 조건들이 확립되었다. 두 번째 양극 전류 밀도 피크와 최대 전류 밀도는 상대적 분극 감도$(I_r/I_f)$로 지정되었다. 최적 조건에서의 분극 효과를 바탕으로, 질량 전달 계수$({\alpha})$는 양극 해리에 대한 Tafel 기울기에 의해서 결정되었다.

In the development of Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell, one of the serious problems is the dissolution of cathode material. Therefore, the development of the alternative cathode which is stable in molten carbonate is needed. In this research, the licoo, was chosen as alternative cathode material. $LiCoO_2$ powder was synthesized by high temperature calcination method and by citrate sol-gel method. And its structure and physical iharacteristics were analyzed by XRD, 1 R, TCA and porosimeter. The conductivity and solubility of $LiCoO_2$ electrode were also measured. Homogeneous $LiCoO_2$ Powder was obtained by citrate sol-Rel method at 445$^{\circ}C$, however, obtained above 75$0^{\circ}C$ by high temperature calcination method. Homogeneous particle size distribution and fine powder were obtained by the citrate sol-Rel method. $LiCoO_2$ electrode showed higher electric conductivity ($1.7 $\Omega$^{-1}cm^{-1}$) than NiO (0.1 $\Omega$^{-9} cm^{-1}) at $650^{\circ}C$. The solubilities of $LiCoO_2$ electrode in electrolyte were varies 0.6 to 1.0 ppm during 200 hours. So, the solubilities of $LiCoO_2$ were much lower than that of NiO.

Fixation of lead contaminants in the solidification/stabilization using Portland cement has been investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and compressive strength. The presence of lead was observed to produce lead carbonate sulfate hydroxide ($Pb_4SO_4(CO_3)_2(OH)_2$), lead carbonate hydroxide hydrate ($3PbCO_3{\cdot}2Pb(OH)_2{\cdot}H_2O$) and two other unidentified lead salts in cavity areas and was observed to significantly retard the hydration of cement. By 28 days, howevere, the XRD peaks of most of the lead precipitates have essentially disappeared with only residual traces of lead carbonate sulfate hydroxide and lead carbonate hydroxide hydrate evident. After 28 days of curing, hydration appears well advanced with a strong portlandite peak present though C-S-H gel peaks are not particularly evident. Lead species produced with the dissolution of lead precipitates are fixed into the cement matrix to be calcium lead silicate hydrate (C-Pb-S-H) during cement-based solidification.

The effect of initial electrolyte loading (IEL) on cell performance in a coin-type molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) was investigated in this work. Since the material of MCFC depends on the manufacturer, optimisation requires experimental investigation. In total, four IEL values, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 g, were used, corresponding to a pore filling ratio (PFR) of 38, 51, 77, and 102%, respectively. The cell performance with respect to the PFR was analysed via steady-state polarisation, step-chronopotentiomtery, and impedance methods. The electrochemical analyses revealed that internal resistance and overpotential of the cell decreased with increasing PFR, and a large overpotential was observed when the PFR was 102%, probably due to the flooding phenomenon. After operation, cross-section of the cell was analysed via surface analysis of SEM and EDS methods, and the remaining electrolyte was estimated by dissolution of the cell in 10 wt% acetic acid. A linear relationship between IEL and the weight reduction ratio by dissolution was obtained. Thus, the remaining amount of electrolyte could be measured after operation. The results of SEM and EDS showed that a PFR of 38 and 102% showed a lack and flooding of electrolytes at the cell, respectively, which led to a large overpotential. This work reports that MCFC performance is allowed only in the narrow range of PFR.

High temperature corrosion behavior of AISI-type 316L stainless steel for the MCFC(molten carbonate fuel cell) bipolar application was studied by immersion test and penetration attack method in anode environment ($650^{\circ}C$, $Li_2CO_3/K_2CO_3=62/38$ mol%, $H_2/CO_2=80/20$ vol%) without or with different $CaCO_3$ content. Not only immersion test method but also morphological observation of samples in the carbonate melts are adopted as experimental methods. With aid of the morphological observation of cross section of samples immersed in a carbonate melt was possible to obtain penetration attack. The concentration effect of $CaCO_3$ inhibitor was investigated in order to verify the optimum concentration for practical application in MCFC stack operation. The corrosion rate in the presence of $CaCO_3$ was proven to be decreased as a function of $CaCO_3$ concentration. The corrosion rate in the presence of $CaCO_3$ was measured with a value of 6.9 mpy which is 2.4 times lower than that of inhibitor-free electrolyte. The cross section microscopy revealed that the internal penetration by oxidation in molten carbonate is very severe. In this case, the attack was occurred not only dissolution loss in the electrolyte by corrosion reaction but also weight gain through oxide layer by internal penetration.

본 연구는 12 성분의 모의 FP-산화물 (simulated fission products oxide)을 대상으로 하여 $(NH_4)_2CO_3-H_2O_2$ 탄산염 용액에서 U을 산화 용해할 때 U과 함께 용해되는 FP의 산화 용해특성을 규명하였다. FP-산화물의 산화용해 시 FP의 최소 용해를 위한 산화제로는 $H_2O_2$가 가장 우수하였다. 0.5 M $(NH_4)_2CO_3-0.5$ M $H_2O_2$ 계에서 U과 함께 산화 용해되는 원소로는 Re, Te, Cs, Mo 등이고, 2시간 용해에서 Re과 Te은 각각 98${\pm}$2%, Cs은 94${\pm}$2%, Mo는 29${\pm}$2%가 용해되었다. Re, Te 및 Cs의 용해는 각각 $(NH_4)_2CO_3$ 용액에서의 높은 용해도에 기인하여 $H_2O_2$ 함유 여부에 관계없이 매우 빠르게 일어나고, $(NH_4)_2CO_3$ 농도 및 $H_2O_2$의 농도증가에 거의 영향을 받지 않았다. 반면에 $H_2O_2$에 의한 Mo의 산화 용해는 $(NH_4)_2CO_3$ 농도에 무관하게 매우 느리게 일어나고, 4시간 용해에서 약 33%가 용해되었다. 그리고 용액 내 pH는 FP-산화물의 용해에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인으로 U의 산화 용해 시 FP의 공용해를 방지하기 위해서 pH 9${\sim}$10에서 수행하는 것이 효과적이었다.

연구는 $Na_2CO_3-H_2O_2$ 탄산염 용액의 숙성시간에 따른 안정성을 U의 산화 용해액, Cs/Re의 선택적 침전 여과액 및 U의 산성화 침전 여과액으로 구분하여 검토하였다. 숙성시간에 따른 산화 용해액 내 조성 변화는 거의 없었으며, Cs/Re의 선택적 침전에도 아무 영향이 없이 산화 용해액으로부터 순차적으로 Re과 Cs의 침전제거가 가능하였다. 그러나 U의 산성화 침전에서는 산화 용해액이나 Cs/Re의 선택적 침전 여과액을 장시간 동안 숙성시킬 경우 U이 uranyl peroxocarbonato complex에서 uranyltricarbonate로 일부 전환되어 U의 침전회수를 감소시켰다. 그러므로 99% 이상의 U을 회수하기 위해서는 산화 용해액 및 Cs/Re의 선택적 침전 여과액의 숙성시간을 각각 7일 이내에서 처리하는 것이 효과적이다. 그리고 SF 의 산화/용해${\rightarrow}$Cs과 Re(/Tc)의 선택적 침전${\rightarrow}$ U의 산성화 침전 등을 순차적으로 수행하여, 산화/용해에서는 대부분의 U과 FP 중 일부가 함께 용해 되었으며, 함께 용해된 FP 중 Re과 Cs은 각각 TPPCl 및 NaTPB로 99% 이상을 침전제거할 수 있었다. 그리고 산성화 (pH 4) 침전에서는 U을 거의 100% 침전회수 하여 $Na_2CO_3-H_2O_2$ 탄산염 용액에서 침전법으로 SF로부터 U 만의 회수 타당성을 확인하였다.

수산화칼슘현탁액과 탄산가스를 출발물질로 15~$50^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 기액반응으로 비정질 탄산칼슘($CaCO_3$.$nH_2 O$)의 생성과정을 전기저도도의 연속측정법, X-선회절법 및 투과전자현미경법을 이용하여 조사한 결과, 반응초기생성물은 비정질 탄산칼슘으로 반응현탁액의 전기전도도는 비정질 탄산칼슘의 생성 중 크게 강하하고 있으며, 이것은 수산화칼슘의 입자표면이 비정질 탄산칼슘미립자로 뒤덮여 용해를 방해받는 것과 비정질 탄산칼슘이 용액 속에서 불안정하여 즉시 용해한 다음 석출하여 칼사이트로 전이되어 미세한 침강성 탄산칼슘이 나란히 결합한 연쇄형 칼사이트가 생성된다. 비정질 탄산칼슘이 연쇄형 칼사이트로 변화하는 동안 현탁액의 전기전도도는 급격히 회복되고 이 과정에서 고농도 수산화칼슘현탁액의 외관점도가 상승한다. 이것은 연쇄형 칼사이트의 뒤얽힘에 의한 것이며, 다시 전기전도도의 1회 회복단계 이후에는 미반응 수산화칼슘에 의하여 비정질 탄산칼슘이 생성이 소멸되어 칼사이트의 성장반응이 이루어지고 pH가 9.5이하에서 연쇄형 칼사이트는 결합부분이 먼저 용해하여 결정질 탄산칼슘으로 분리생성된다. 비정질 탄산칼슘의 생성 및 합성온도의 영역은 전기전도도법에서 $15^{\circ}C$일 때 1차 강하단계(a-단계)에서 가장 적합하다.

Electrochemical decontamination process has been applied for recycle or self disposal with authorization of large amount of metallic wastes contaminated with uranium compounds such as $UO_2$, ammonium uranyl carbonate (AUC), ammonium di-uranate (ADU), and uranyl nitrate(UN) with tributylphosphate(TBP) and dodecane, which are generated by dismantling the contaminated system components and equipment of a retired uranium conversion plant in Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). Electrochemical decontamination for metallic wastes contaminated with uranium compounds was evaluated through the experiments on the electrolytic dissolution of stainless steel as the material of the system components in neutral salt electrolytes. The effects of type of neutral salt as the electrolyte, current density, and concentration of electrolyte on the dissolution of the materials were evaluated. Decontamination performance tests using the specimens taken from a uranium conversion plant were quite successful with the application electrochemical decontamination conditions obtained through the basic studies on the electrolytic dissolution of structural material of the system components.

In-situ lithiated NiO has been manufactured as a conventional cathode material of molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC), however this material has a weakness for commercialization of MCFC because NiO is spontaneously dissolved into the electrolyte under MCFC operating conditions, resulting in short circuit between cathode and anode. In this research, therefore, $Co(OH)_2$-coated Ni powder was prepared by precipitation method with controlling pH at low temperature and atmospheric pressure. Modified cathode was fabricated by a conventional tape casting method and sintered at 700$^{\circ}C$ in a $H_2/N_2$ atmosphere, Based on characterization result, Pore size distribution and porosity was suitable for the cathode of MCFC. According to the result of dissolution, Ni solubility of modified cathode was 33% lower than that of conventional cathode. In addition, modified electrode showed a good performance from the single cell operation.
