티오요소와 염산 혼합 용액 중 은(Ag)을 금속으로 회수하기 위해 사이클론 전해법을 이용하였다. 유속, 전류밀도, 은 농도, 티오요소 농도, 염산 농도를 주요 변수로 하여 은의 전해회수 거동을 살펴보았다. 유속, 전류밀도와 염산 농도가 증가할수록 은의 회수속도가 증가하였으며, 은 농도가 증가함에 따라 은의 회수 속도는 감소하였고, 티오요소 농도는 은 회수율과 전류효율에는 큰 영향이 없었다. 유속 12 L/min., 전류밀도 $0.75A/dm^2$, 1 g/L Ag, 0.5 M Thiourea, 0.1 M HCl에서 실험하였을 경우 99% 이상의 은 회수율을 보였다. 대부분의 실험 조건에서 은(Ag)은 분말 형태로 회수되었다.

The effect of NaOH concentration on the properties of electrolytic plasma processing (EPP) coating formed on AZ61A Mg alloy is studied. Various types of EPP were employed on magnesium alloy AZ61A in a silicate bath with different concentrations of NaOH additive. Analysis of the composition and structure of the coating layers was carried out using an X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that the oxide coating layer mainly consisted of MgO and $Mg_2SiO_4$; its porosity and thickness were highly dependent on the NaOH concentration. The Vickers hardness was over 900 HV for all the coatings. The oxide layer with 3 g/l of NaOH concentration exhibited the highest hardness value (1220 HV) and the lowest wear rate. Potentiodynamic testing of the 3 g/l NaOH concentration showed that this concentration had the highest corrosion resistance value of $2.04{\times}10^5{\Omega}cm^2$; however, the corrosion current density value of $5.80{\times}10^{-7}A/cm^2$ was the lowest such value.

Formation behavior of PEO (Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation) films on AZ31 Mg alloy was investigated under application of 310 Hz AC as a function of $Na_3PO_4$ concentration from 0.02 M to 0.2 M. Film formation voltage and in-situ observation of arcs generated on the specimen surface were recorded with time, and surface morphologies of the PEO films were investigated using optical microscopy, confocal scanning laser microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. PEO film formation voltage decreased linearly with increasing $Na_3PO_4$ concentration which is attributed to the increase of solution pH. PEO films were grown uniformly over the entire surface in $Na_3PO_4$ solutions between 0.05 M and 0.1 M. However, non-uniform PEO films with white spots were formed in $Na_3PO_4$ solutions containing more than 0.1 M. Thickness and roughness of PEO films on AZ31 Mg alloy increased linearly with increasing $Na_3PO_4$ concentration and their increasing rates appeared to be much higher under 1 M than above 1 M. The experimental results suggest that phosphate ions can contribute to the formation of PEO films but higher $Na_3PO_4$ concentration more than 1 M results in local damages of PEO films due to repeated generation of white arcs at the same surface site of AZ31 Mg alloy.

고온 용융염 전해환원 공정은 후행핵연료 주기의 대안 공정인 파이로공정의 산화물 사용후핵연료의 확대를 위해 필수적인 공정이다. 사용후핵연료는 다성분 산화물로 이루어져 있으며 각 산화물은 전해환원 공정에서 화학적 특성에 따라 산소를 잃게 된다. 본 연구에서는 건식분말화 공정 이후 전해환원 반응기에 도입되는 사용후핵연료 조성을 기준으로 각 금속-산소 시스템을 독립적인 이상고용체로 가정하여 전해환원 반응거동을 계산하였다. 전해환원을 Li의 환원과 이어지는 Li과의 화학반응의 결합으로 산정하여 U을 비롯한 금속 환원 거동을 계산하였다. 계산결과 대부분의 산화물들은 전해환원 공정에 의해 금속으로 전환되는 것으로 예상되었다. 란타나이드 원소들의 경우 $Li_2O$의 농도가 낮아지면 금속 전환율이 높아지나 대부분 산화물로 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 추가적으로 $U_3O_8$의 전해환원 거동에 대해 Li의 확산과 Li과의 화학반응을 고려하여 반실험적 모델이 제시되었다. 실험데이터를 활용하여 매개변수를 결정하였으며 시간에 대한 환원율 및 전류에 대한 99.9% 환원 시간을 계산하였다.

Isotopes of alkali and alkaline earth metals (AM and AEM) are the main contributors to the heat load and the radiotoxicity of spent fuel (SF) . These components are separated from the SF and dissolved in a molten LiCl in an electrolytic reduction process. A mass transfer model is developed to describe the diffusion behavior of Cs, Sr, and Ba in the SF into the molten salt. The model is an analytical solution of Fick's second law of diffusion for a cylinder which is the shape of a cathode in the electrolytic reduction process. And the model is also applied to depict the concentration profile of the oxygen ion which is produced by the electrolysis of Li$_{2}$O. The regressed diffusion coefficients of the model correlating the experimentally measured data are evaluated to be greater in the order of Ba, Cs, and Sr for the metal ions and the diffusion of the oxygen ion is slower than the metal ions which implies that different mechanisms govern the diffusion of the metal ions and the oxygen ions in a molten LiCl.

Strontium is known as a salt-soluble element during the electrolytic oxide reduction (EOR) process. The chemical behavior of SrO during EOR was investigated via thermodynamic calculations to provide quantitative data on the chemical status of Sr. To achieve this, thermodynamic calculations were conducted using HSC chemistry software for various EOR conditions. It was revealed that SrO reacts with LiCl salt to produce SrCl₂, even in the presence of Li₂O, and that the ratio of SrCl₂ depends on the initial concentration of Li₂O dissolved in LiCl. It was found that SrO reacts with Li to produce Sr during EOR and that the reduced Sr reacts with LiCl salt to produce SrCl₂. As a result, the proportions of metallic forms were lower in Sr than in La and Nd under various EOR conditions. The thermodynamic calculations indicated that the three chemical forms of SrO, SrCl₂, and Sr co-exist in the EOR system under an equilibrium with Li, Li₂O, and LiCl.

In this study, we prepared magnesium ion containing oxide films formed on the Ti-6Al-4V using plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) treatment. Ti-6Al-4V surface was treated using PEO in Mg containing electrolytes at 270V for 5 min. The phase, composition and morphology of the Mg ion containing oxide films were evaluated with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) and filed-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). The biocompatibility of Mg ion containing oxide films was evaluated by immersing in simulated body fluid (SBF). According to surface properties of PEO films, the optimum condition was formed when the applied was 270 V. The PEO films formed in the condition contained the properties of porosity, anatase phase, and near 1.7 Ca(Mg)/P ratio in the oxide film. Our experimental results demonstrate that Mg ion containing oxide promotes bone like apatite nucleation and growth from SBF. The phase and morphologies of bone like apatite were influenced by the Mg ion concentration.

본 논문에서는 강한 불평등전계를 형성시킬 수 있는 다선형전극을 강전해수 발생장치내에 설치하여 전계집중효과에 의해 발생되는 기포내의 선행방전의 형태와 기포방전이 수소이온농도와 산화환원전위반응에 미치는 영향을 검토하고자 하였다. 실험결과, 강전해수 발생장치내의 양전극측을 다선형으로 함으로써 양전극측에서 발생되는 기포내에서 비유전율 차이에 의한 기포내의 선행방전을 관찰할 수 있었다. 그리고 기포방전에 의해 발생된 이온들이 강전해수 발생장치내에 용해됨으로써 전해수의 이온농도를 증가시켰다. 이때 발생된 고농도의 이온들을 분리집속 시키고 산화환원작용을 크게 증가시켜 고농도의 강전해수를 발생시킬 수 있었다.

The structure of plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coatings was investigated as a function of NaOH concentration in 0.06 M $Na_2SiO_3$ + 0.06 M $Na_3PO_4$ solution by using SEM and epoxy replica method. The PEO film was formed on AZ31 Mg alloy by the application of anodic pulse current with 0.2 ms width and its formation behavior was studied by voltage-time curves during the formation of PEO films. It was found that the addition of NaOH into $PO_4{^{3-}}$ and $SiO_3{^{2-}}$ containing aqueous solution causes a decrease in the PEO film formation voltage, suggesting that dielectric breakdown of the PEO becomes easier with increasing $OH^-$ ion concentration in the solution. With increasing $OH^-$ ion concentration, thickness of the PEO film increased and surface roughness decreased. The size of pores formed in the PEO layer became smaller and the number of cracks in the PEO layer increased with increasing $OH^-$ ion concentration. Based on the experimental results obtained in the work, it is suggested that $OH^-$ ions in the solution can contribute not only to the dielectric breakdown but also to the formation of PEO films in the presence of $PO_4{^{3-}}$ and $SiO_3{^{2-}}$ ions in the solution.
