While most of researches on the performance of high temperature grain dryer have dealt mainly with improving dryer capacity and drying speed during the last twenty years, energy efficiency, in fact, has not been emphasized. Current fuel supplies and energy cost have shifted the emphasis to reducing the energy consumption for grain drying while maintaining dryer capacity and grain quality. Since the energy input for drying is relatively large, the recovery and reuse of at least part of the exhaust energy can significantly reduce the total energy consumption in existing drying systems. Unilization of exhaust heat in grain dryer either through direct recycling or by a thermal coupling in heat exchanger have been subject of a number of investigators. However, very seldom research in Korea has been done in this area. Three drying tests(non-recycling, 0.22 recycle ratio, and 0.76 recycle ratio)were performed to investigate the thermal efficiency and heat loss factors of continuous flow type dryer, and to analyze the effect of recycle ratio (weight of exhaust air recycled/total weight of input air) on the energy requriements for rough rice drying. The test results showed that when the exhaust air was not recycled, the energy lost from furnace was 15.3 percent of input fuel energy, and latent and sensible heat of exhaust air were 61.4 percent and 11.2 percent respectively. The heat which was required in raising grain temperature and stored in dryer was relatively small. As the recycle ratio of exhaust air was increased, the drying rate was suddenly decreased, and thermal efficiency of the kerosene burner was also decreased. Drying test with 0.76 recycle ratio resulted in 12.4% increase in fuel consumption, and 38.4% increase in electric power consumption as compared to the non-recycled drying test. Drying test of 0.22 recycle ratio resulted in 6.8% saving in total energy consumption, 8.0% reduction in fuel consumption, and 2.5% increase in electric power consumption as compared to the non-recycled drying test.

In this study, the $N_2O$ emission factor of the facility was developed by measuring the kiln type pyrolysis melting facility. This used PAS (Photoacoustic Spectroscopy) method and measured the $N_2O$ emission concentration. From March 2016 to April 2016, it was measured over a total of two times and $N_2O$ concentrations were measured continuously for 24 hours using a 24 hour continuous measuring instrument (LSE-4405). The measured $N_2O$ emission concentration of the pyrolysis melting facility was 0.263 ppm on average and the emission concentration distribution in the range of 0.013~0.733 ppm was obtained. Therefore, the $N_2O$ emission factor of the kiln-type pyrolysis melting facility was estimated to be $0.829gN_2O/ton$-Waste. As a result of comparing the $N_2O$ emission factor of the thermal kiln type pyrolysis melting facility and the previous study, previous studies were about 18 times higher. It is estimated that this is due to the difference of furnace temperature, oxygen concentration and denitrification facilities. It is considered that the study of the emission factor of pyrolysis melting facility is an important factor in improving the credibility of greenhouse gas inventory in waste incineration sector.

This paper presents the performance characteristics of a 1 kW solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stack under various internal reforming and fuel utilization conditions. The Research Institute of Industrial Science & Technology (RIST) developed the 9-cell stack using a $20{\times}20cm^2$ anode supported planar cell with an active area of $324cm^2$. In this work, current-voltage characteristic test, fuel utilization test, continuous operation, and internal reforming test were carried out sequentially for 765 hours at a furnace temperature of $700^{\circ}C$. The influence of fuel utilization and internal reforming on the stack performance was analyzed. When the 1 kW stack was tested at a current of 145.8 A with a corresponding fuel utilization of 50-70% (internal reforming of 50%) and air utilization of 27%, the stack power was approximately 1.062-1.079 kW. Under continuous operation conditions, performance degradation rate was 2.16%/kh for 664 hours. The internal reforming characteristics of the stack were measured at a current of 145.8. A with a corresponding fuel utilization of 60-75%(internal reforming of 50-80%) and air utilization of 27%. As fuel utilization and internal reforming ratio increased, the stack power was decreased. The stack power change due to the internal reforming ratio difference was decreased with increasing fuel utilization.

제철부산물은 슬래그, 슬러지 및 분진 등의 다양한 부산물을 함유하며 이중 제강분진은 중금속 함량이 높아 지정폐기물로 버려지고 있다. 그러나 제강분진의 경우 Fe(0), Fe(II) 함량이 60% 이상으로 이의 활용에 대한 많은 연구가 있어왔다. 이중 최근에 제안되는 것이 제강분진을 이용한 독성 물질 함유 침출수의 처리이다. 이는 투수성 반응벽을 매립장 바닥차수재에 적용한 개념으로 침출수와 제강분진을 반응시켜 침출수의 TCE, PCE, 다이옥신 및 $Cr^{6+}$ 등의 독성물질을 환원, 무독화 시키고자 하는 것이다. 이를 위해 제강분진의 원소용출 특성규명이 선결되어야 하며 특히 제강분진의 장기적이고 다양한 환경에서의 용출특성을 알아보고자 다양한 용출방법을 택하였다. 즉, 가용용출시험, pH 고정 시험 및 연속주상시험 등을 이용하여 제강분진의 중금속 용출특성을 밝히고자 하였다. 중금속 항목 중 Cr과 Zn가 특정 pH 환경에서 우려수준 이상으로 용출되었으나 다른 원소들의 경우 위해성을 나타내는 농도 이하로 용출된다. 이중 Zn의 경우 제강분진 침출수의 pH가 12내외인 점을 고려할 경우 용출 가능성은 매우 낮을 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 Cr의 경우 반대로 알칼리 환경에서 더 용출된다. 따라서 제강분진 재활용에 앞서 Cr 용출을 제어할 수 있는 방법이 선행되어야 할 것이다. 주상시험에서 Cr 농도는 시간이 경과하면서 빠르게 감소하는 것이 관찰되었으며 이는 입자표면에 주로 분포한 Cr이 용출되거나 환원철과 반응하여 $Cr(OH)_3$ 등으로 공침, 제거되는 두 가지 가능성을 시사한다. Cr과 다른 중금속들의 용출제어 방법의 선행이 가능하다는 전제에서 중금속 농도가 매우 높은 폐수나 침출수에 제강분진을 제한적으로 적용이 가능하다고 판단된다.

The increasing interest in light weight materials coupled to the need for cost -effective processing have combined to create a significant opportunity for aluminum P/M. particularly in the automotive industry in order to reduce fuel emissions and improve fuel economy at affordable prices. Additional potential markets for Al PIM parts include hand tools. Where moving parts against gravity represents a challenge; and office machinery, where reciprocating forces are important. Aluminum PIM adds light weight, high compressibility. low sintering temperatures. easy machinability and good corrosion resistance to all advantages of conventional iron bm;ed P/rv1. Current commercial alloys are pre-mixed of either the AI-Si-Mg or AL-Cu-Mg-Si type and contain 1.5% ethylene bis-stearamide as an internal lubricant. The powder is compacted in closed dies at pressure of 200-500Mpa and sintered in nitrogen at temperatures between $580~630^{\circ}C$ in continuous muffle furnace. For some applications no further processing is required. although most applications require one or more secondary operations such as sizing and finishing. These sccondary operations improve the dimension. properties or appearance of the finished part. Aluminum is often considered difficult to sinter because of the presence of a stable surface oxide film. Removal of the oxide in iron and copper based is usually achieved through the use of reducing atmospheres. such as hydrogen or dissociated ammonia. In aluminum. this occurs in the solid st,lte through the partial reduction of the aluminum by magncsium to form spinel. This exposcs the underlying metal and facilitates sintering. It has recently been shown that < 0.2% Mg is all that is required. It is noteworthy that most aluminum pre-mixes contain at least 0.5% Mg. The sintering of aluminum alloys can be further enhanced by selective microalloying. Just 100ppm pf tin chnnges the liquid phase sintering kinetics of the 2xxx alloys to produce a tensile strength of 375Mpa. an increilse of nearly 20% over the unmodified alloy. The ductility is unnffected. A similar but different effect occurs by the addition of 100 ppm of Pb to 7xxx alloys. The lend changes the wetting characteristics of the sintering liquid which serves to increase the tensile strength to 440 Mpa. a 40% increase over unmodified aIloys. Current research is predominantly aimed at the development of metal matrix composites. which have a high specific modulus. good wear resistance and a tailorable coefficient of thermal expnnsion. By controlling particle clustering and by engineering the ceramic/matrix interface in order to enhance sintering. very attractive properties can be achicved in the ns-sintered state. I\t an ils-sintered density ilpproaching 99%. these new experimental alloys hnve a modulus of 130 Gpa and an ultimate tensile strength of 212 Mpa in the T4 temper. In contest. unreinforcecl aluminum has a modulus of just 70 Gpa.

유해 중금속을 함유하고 있는 제철 폐기물 슬러지를 안전하게 처리하기 위하여 고로 수쇄 슬래그와 포틀랜드 시멘트를 이용한 중금속 고화용 슬래그 시멘트, 고황산염 시멘트를 제조하여 폐슬러지의 고화를 시도하였다. 고로 수쇄 슬래그와 보통포틀랜드 시멘트를 6:4로 혼합하고 여기에 자극제로서 CaO를 10% 가한 슬래그 시멘트 재료를 사용한 경우, STS 슬러지는 C-S-H 그리고 ettringite와 monosulfate 등의 수화물이 생성되면서 강도가 지속적으로 증가함을 보여주고 있지만 성상과 성분이 다른 BF 슬러지와 COREX 슬러지에 적용하였을 때는 강도 발현이 좋지 않았다. 하지만 고화처리용 슬래그 시멘트를 이용하여 STS에 BF 및 COREX 슬러지를 각각 5:5로 혼합한 혼합슬러지에 적용한 경우 고화체의 강도는 슬래그 시멘트를 이용한 경우 폐기물 고화 처리 기준을 상회하는 충분한 강도를 보였다. 한편, 수쇄슬래그, 반수석고, 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트에 자극제를 혼합한 폐기물 처리용 고황산염계 시멘트를 이용하여 고화가 힘들었던 COREX 슬러지에 적용한 결과, 3일 강도가 이미 고화처리기준을 상회하는 좋은 결과를 얻어, 이 시멘트 재료로서 COREX 슬러지의 고정/안정화도 가능함을 보여주고 있다.

에너지 공급 안정과 온실가스 저감이라는 목표를 달성하기 위해 저등급 석탄의 순산소 순환유동층 보일러의 적용이 새롭게 모색되고 있다. 아직까지 실증 단계의 개발이 진행되고 있기에 순산소 순환유동층 보일러에서의 저급탄 이용을 위해 주입 공기량, 조업 온도, 연료 공급량 등의 변화에 따른 연소 특성이 고찰되어야 상용 모델을 위한 설계 기준을 선정할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 공기 연소로 개발된 IEA-CFBC 모델을 순산소 연소를 전산모사하도록 개조하였고 새로운 순산소 순환유동층 모델을 이용하여 온도($800^{\circ}C{\sim}900^{\circ}C$), 산소 농도(21%~41%), 석탄 주입량, Ca/S 비율(1.5~4.0) 등의 다양한 조건에서 순산소 연소 특성을 고찰하였다. 공기 연소와 비교하여, 순산소 조건에서의 보일러 온도가 높았으나 산소 농도가 증가함에 따라 보일러의 온도구배는 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 더불어 Ca/S 비율, 산소농도가 높을수록 탈황 효율이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

실온에서 직접 접합된 실리콘 기판의 접합강도를 향상기키기 위하여 기존의 고온 로내 열처리법을 대체할 수 있는 선형 열처리법을 개발하였다. 한 개의 열원과 타원형 반사경으로 구성된 선형 열처리법은 접합면의 간격이 열처리 온도의 증가와 더불어 감소하는 특성과 온도 증가와 더불어 접합면에 생성된는 기체상의 밀도가 증가하는 현상을 응용하여 접합면의 기체상을 밀도차이를 이용하여 기판 외부로 방출시키는 방법으로 Si$\mid$$\mid$Si 기판쌍 및 Si$\mid$$\mid$$SiO_2/Si$ 기판쌍의 직접 접합에 적용하여 보았다. IR camera와 HRTEM으로 직접 관찰한 접합면은 실온에서 접합면에 침투한 외부 불순물에 의한 비접합 영역을 제외하고는 자제 생성된 기체상에 의한 비접합 영역은 나타나지 않았고 매우 깨끗한 접합계면을 나타내었다. 접합된 기판쌍을 Crack opening법과 인장시험법을 적용하여 접합 강도를 측정하였다. 접합 강도는 열처리 온도의 증가와 더불어 점차로 증가하였고 두 측정방법 모두 동일한 경향성을 나타내었다.

Objective: Biological monitoring of trace elements in human blood samples has become an important indicator of the health environment. The purpose of this study was to detect and evaluate multiple metal items in blood samples based on ICP-MS, to perform comparative evaluation with the existing analysis method, and to develop and verify a new method. Methods: 100 μL of whole blood from 80 healthy subjects was used to analyze ten metals (Sb, tAs, Cd, Pb, Mn, Hg, Mo, Ni, Se, Tl) using ICP-MS. Verification of the analysis method included calculation of linearity, accuracy, precision and detection limits. In addition, a comparative test with the conventional graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy (GF-AAS) method was performed. In the case of Pb, Cd, and Hg in whole blood, cross-analysis between Pb, Cd, and Hg analysis methods was performed to confirm the difference between the existing method and the new method (ICP-MS). Results: The coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.999 or higher in seven items and 0.995 or higher in three items. The Pb result showed that Pearson's correlation coefficient was very high at 0.983, and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.966. The Cd result showed that Pearson's correlation coefficient was 0.917 between the existing method and the new analysis concentration value. Its intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.960, and there was no significant difference between the two groups. Hg had a low correlation at 0.687, and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.761, which was lower than that of Pb and Cd. The intra-day and inter-day accuracy of Pd and Cd were satisfactory, but Hg did not meet the criteria for both accuracy and precision when compared with the conventional analysis method. Conclusion: This study can be meaningful in that it proposes a more efficient and feasible analysis method by verifying a blood heavy metal concentration experiment using multiple simultaneous analyses. All samples were processed and analyzed using the new ICP-MS. It was confirmed that the agreement between the two methods was very high, with the agreement between the current and new methods being 0.769 to 0.998. This study proposes an efficient simultaneous methodology capable of analyzing multiple elements with small samples. In the future, studies of various applications and the reliability of ICP-MS analysis methods are required, and research on the verification of accurate, precise, and continuous analysis methods is required.
