2,4-Dichlorophenol was known pollutants caused by the endocrine disruptor into the refractory substances of environment and this is difficult to be degradable by conventional methods. Therefore, a considerable interest has been devoted to developing new process where 2,4-Dichlorophenol can easily decomposed. In this study, the series of ultrasonic irradiation for removal of 2,4-Dichlorophenol has been selected as a model reaction in the batch reactor system in order to obtain the basic data investigate the influence of various experimental parameters such as concentration, pH, reaction temperature, acoustic intensity. The products obtained form the ultrasonic irradiation were analysed by GC/MS and HPLC. The formation of $H_2O_2$, a well-known the strong oxidant was found proportionally to increase with irradiation time. The intermediates of ultrasonic irradiation of 2,4-Dichlorophenol were identified as HCl, catechol, hydroquinone, o,p-benzoquinone, muconic acid, and maleic acid. The final products of this was $CO_2$ and $H_2O$. As the decomposition of 2,4-Dichlorophenol proceeds by the ultrasonic irradiation, the pH of 2,4-Dichlorophenol containing aqueous solution increases slowly, The decomposition of 2,4-Dichlorophenol was found to be occured fast in the basic medium. In general, the rate of reaction is proportional to the reaction temperature obeying the Arrhenius' law. However, in the ultrasonic irradiation, this suggests as the reaction temperature increase the decomposition rate of the reactant decreases. This result meant that the increase of reaction temperature due to the increase of vapor pressure of water accelerated the decrease of acoustic intensity which was can be proportional to the decomposition rae of these compounds. It was found that more than 80% of phenol solution was removed within hours in all reaction conditions. The reaction order in the degradation of the 2,4-Dichlorophenol compounds was verified as the Pseude-first order. From the fore-mentioned results, it can be concluded that the refractory organic compounds caused by endocrine disruptor as 2,4-dichlorophenol could be removed by the ultrasonic irradiation with radicals, such as $H{\;}{\cdot}{\;}and{\;}OH{\;}{\cdot}$ radical causing the high increase of pressure and temperature. Finally, it apeared that the technology using ultrasonic irradiation can be applied to the treatment of refractory substances caused by endocrine disruptor which are difficult to be decomposed by the conventional methods.

본 연구에서는 굴참나무의 열분해 및 촉매 열분해에 바이오매스 반탄화가 미치는 영향에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 굴참나무와 반탄화된 굴참나무의 열분해 및 촉매 열분해 거동은 열중량분석 결과와 회분식반응기를 이용한 급속열분해 반응에서 얻어진 바이오오일의 생성물분포를 비교하여 평가하였다. 굴참나무와 반탄화된 굴참나무의 열중량 곡선 및 미중열중량곡선은 굴참나무 내 헤미셀룰로오스의 제거량은 반탄화 온도 및 시간을 증가시킴에 따라 증가됨을 나타내었다. 굴참나무의 반탄화과정에서 헤미셀룰로오스의 제거로 굴참나무 내 셀룰로오스와 리그닌의 함량이 증가되기 때문에 열분해 과정에서 오일의 수율은 감소하고 고형 촤 수율은 증가하였다. 반탄화 굴참나무의 열분해 오일 중 레보글루코산과 페놀류의 선택도는 굴참나무 열분해 오일에 비해 높았다. 바이오오일 중 방향족 화합물의 함량은 HZSM-5 ($SiO_2/Al_2O_3=30$) 상에서 굴참나무 및 반탄화된 굴참나무의 촉매열분해를 적용함으로써 증가되었다. 굴참나무에 비해, 반탄화 굴참나무는 HZSM-5를 이용한 촉매 열분해를 통한 방향족화합물 형성에 더 높은 효율을 보였고 더 높은 반탄화 온도($280^{\circ}C$) 및 반응온도($600^{\circ}C$)를 적용함으로써 극대화되었다.

Quantum beam technology has been expected to develop breakthroughs for nanotechnology during the third basic plan of science and technology (2006~2010). Recently, Green- or Life Innovations has taken over the national interests in the fourth basic science and technology plan (2011~2015). The NIMS (National Institute for Materials Science) has been conducting the corresponding mid-term research plans, as well as other national projects, such as nano-Green project (Global Research for Environment and Energy based on Nanomaterials science). In this lecture, the research trends in Japan and NIMS are firstly reviewed, and the typical achievements are highlighted over key nanotechnology fields. As one of the key nanotechnologies, the quantum beam research in NIMS focused on synchrotron radiation, neutron beams and ion/atom beams, having complementary attributes. The facilities used are SPring-8, nuclear reactor JRR-3, pulsed neutron source J-PARC and ion-laser-combined beams as well as excited atomic beams. Materials studied are typically fuel cell materials, superconducting/magnetic/multi-ferroic materials, quasicrystals, thermoelectric materials, precipitation-hardened steels, nanoparticle-dispersed materials. Here, we introduce a few topics of neutron scattering and ion beam nanofabrication. For neutron powder diffraction, the NIMS has developed multi-purpose pattern fitting software, post RIETAN2000. An ionic conductor, doped Pr2NiO4, which is a candidate for fuel-cell material, was analyzed by neutron powder diffraction with the software developed. The nuclear-density distribution derived revealed the two-dimensional network of the diffusion paths of oxygen ions at high temperatures. Using the high sensitivity of neutron beams for light elements, hydrogen states in a precipitation-strengthened steel were successfully evaluated. The small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) demonstrated the sensitive detection of hydrogen atoms trapped at the interfaces of nano-sized NbC. This result provides evidence for hydrogen embrittlement due to trapped hydrogen at precipitates. The ion beam technology can give novel functionality on a nano-scale and is targeting applications in plasmonics, ultra-fast optical communications, high-density recording and bio-patterning. The technologies developed are an ion-and-laser combined irradiation method for spatial control of nanoparticles, and a nano-masked ion irradiation method for patterning. Furthermore, we succeeded in implanting a wide-area nanopattern using nano-masks of anodic porous alumina. The patterning of ion implantation will be further applied for controlling protein adhesivity of biopolymers. It has thus been demonstrated that the quantum beam-based nanotechnology will lead the innovations both for nano-characterization and nano-fabrication.

핵연료봉의 과도상태 출력준위는 핵연료봉의 과도상태 거동에서 가장 중요한 변수중의 하나이다. 핵연료 성능 데이타베이스의 분석과 핵연료의 과도상태 거동에 영향을 줄 수 있는 핵연료봉 출력이력, 속중성자속, 농축도 및 주기길이 등의 인자들의 민감도 분석을 통해서, ANS 과도조건 I 및 II에서 핵연료봉의 기계적 건전성이 유지되는 허용가능 과도상태 출력을 구하기 위해 일반적으로 적용이 가능한 방법론이 유도되었으며, 이를 통해 17$\times$17 KOFA 핵연료봉의 허용가능 과도상태 출력이 연소도의 함수로써 결정되었다. 이 방법론을 도입함으로써, 현재와 같이 매 주기마다 핵연료봉 과도상태 설계분석을 수행할 필요가 없이 단지 해당주기에서의 과도상태 최대 출력준위 평가로써 핵연료봉의 과도상태 설계를 대체할 수 있으며, 17$\times$17 KOFA 핵연료에 대하 낮은 연소도영역에서 기존의 최대 허용 과도상태 출력 준위인 591 w/cm보다 큰 최대 689.5 w/cm까지 허용함으로써 원자로 운전에 유연성을 줄 수 있다.

투수성이 높은 토양에 대한 동전기세정 제염의 영향을 평가했다. 실험토양은 많은 모래를 함유하여 수리전도도가 높은 연구 원자로 주변부지로부터 채취했다. 세정용액의 방출속도는 제염시간 경과와 함께 감소했다. 시트릭산을 사용했을 때, 세정용액의 방출속도는 78.7 ml/day로 가장 빨랐다. 세정용액으로 초산을 사용하였을 때, 토양으로부터 코발트와 세슘의 제거효율은 가장 높은 값인 95.2%와 84.2%를 나타냈다. 동전기제염 시 발생된 토양 폐액부피는 토양세척제염시보다 1/20으로 감소했다. 반면에 동전기세정방법은 토양으로부터 코발트와 세슘 제거효율을 동전기방법 보다 각각 6%와 2%로 향상시켰다. 그러므로 동전기세정방법은 투수성이 높은 토양제염 시 좀 더 효과적이다.

화석연료 사용에 의한 이산화탄소의 증가는 지구온난화의 주요인으로, 세계적으로 배출량을 줄이려는 노력을 기울이고 있다. 알카놀아민 수용액을 이용한 흡수법은 산성가스를 제거하기 위하여 폭 넓게 사용되고 있고, 특히 배가스로부터 나오는 이산화탄소의 제거에 효과적인 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 알카놀아민 수용액을 사용하여 이산화탄소 흡수시에 나타나는 흡수특성을 연구하였다. 기/액 평형 실험 장치를 사용하여 이산화탄소의 평형분압(${P_{CO_2}}^*$)과 이산화탄소 최초 1회 주입 후 평형에 도달하는 시간을 측정하여 $60^{\circ}C$에서 각각 흡수 용량과 흡수 속도를 계산하였다. 실험 결과 MEA 10wt%에서의 흡수용량은 낮은 온도($40^{\circ}C$)에서 우수하였고, 평형부하 0.5부근에서 이산화탄소가 포화되었음을 알 수 있었다. 흡수제에 따른 흡수용량은 AMP>DEA>MEA, 흡수속도는 MEA>AMP>DEA. 순으로 나타났다. 따라서 가장 우수한 성능을 가진 흡수제를 선정하기 위해서는 흡수용량과 흡수속도를 동시에 고려해보아야 한다.

Neutron spectrum is essential to the safe operation of reactors. Traditional online neutron spectrum measurement methods still have room to improve accuracy for the application cases of wide energy range. From the application of artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm in spectrum unfolding, its accuracy is difficult to be improved for lacking of enough effective training data. In this paper, an adaptive deviation-resistant neutron spectrum unfolding method based on transfer learning was developed. The model of ANN was trained with thousands of neutron spectra generated with Monte Carlo transport calculation to construct a coarse-grained unfolded spectrum. In order to improve the accuracy of the unfolded spectrum, results of the previous ANN model combined with some specific eigenvalues of the current system were put into the dataset for training the deeper ANN model, and fine-grained unfolded spectrum could be achieved through the deeper ANN model. The method could realize accurate spectrum unfolding while maintaining universality, combined with detectors covering wide energy range, it could improve the accuracy of spectrum measurement methods for wide energy range. This method was verified with a fast neutron reactor BN-600. The mean square error (MSE), average relative deviation (ARD) and spectrum quality (Qs) were selected to evaluate the final results and they all demonstrated that the developed method was much more precise than traditional spectrum unfolding methods.

본 연구에서는 Fischer-Tropsch 반응에서 Fe계 촉매의 환원조건과 Cu, K의 첨가에 대한 영향을 연속흐름 반응기를 통하여 살펴보았다. 반응을 위해 촉매는 균일상 침전에 의한 초기 습식함침법으로 제조하였으며 XRD, TPR, SEM 등의 기기를 통해 $Al_2O_3$에 담지 된 Fe 촉매에 대한 물리화학적 특성을 분석하였다. 216 h의 장시간 반응운전을 통해 Fe/Cu/K 촉매의 활성과 안정성에 대하여 조사하였다. $H_2$와 CO의 혼합물로 촉매를 환원시키면 촉매의 활성이 향상되었는데, 이는 촉매의 표면에 iron carbides가 형성되기 때문인 것으로 XRD 분석을 통해 확인되었다. 촉매에 Cu가 첨가되면 촉매의 환원성 향상으로 인하여 반응이 빠르게 안정되어 정상상태에 일찍 도달하였다. K를 첨가하게 되면 CO의 전화율은 향상되지만 함량을 5%까지 올리면 촉매의 물리적 안정성이 감소되었다. Fe/Cu (5%)/K (1%) 촉매로 Fischer-Tropsch 반응을 수행한 결과 120 h 이후에 약 15% 정도 CO의 전화율이 감소되었으나 장기간 안정된 반응을 수행할 수 있었다.

A high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was performed using the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model for the lower plenum of the High-Temperature Test Facility (HTTF), a ¼ scale test facility of the modular high temperature gas-cooled reactor (MHTGR) managed by Oregon State University. In most next-generation nuclear reactors, thermal stress due to thermal striping is one of the risks to be curiously considered. This is also true for HTGRs, especially since the exhaust helium gas temperature is high. In order to evaluate these risks and performance, organizations in the United States led by the OECD NEA are conducting a thermal hydraulic code benchmark for HTGR, and the test facility used for this benchmark is HTTF. HTTF can perform experiments in both normal and accident situations and provide high-quality experimental data. However, it is difficult to provide sufficient data for benchmarking through experiments, and there is a problem with the reliability of CFD analysis results based on Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes to analyze thermal hydraulic behavior without verification. To solve this problem, high-fidelity 3-D CFD analysis was performed using the LES model for HTTF. It was also verified that the LES model can properly simulate this jet mixing phenomenon via a unit cell test that provides experimental information. As a result of CFD analysis, the lower the dependency of the sub-grid scale model, the closer to the actual analysis result. In the case of unit cell test CFD analysis and HTTF CFD analysis, the volume-averaged sub-grid scale model dependency was calculated to be 13.0% and 9.16%, respectively. As a result of HTTF analysis, quantitative data of the fluid inside the HTTF lower plenum was provided in this paper. As a result of qualitative analysis, the temperature was highest at the center of the lower plenum, while the temperature fluctuation was highest near the edge of the lower plenum wall. The power spectral density of temperature was analyzed via fast Fourier transform (FFT) for specific points on the center and side of the lower plenum. FFT results did not reveal specific frequency-dominant temperature fluctuations in the center part. It was confirmed that the temperature power spectral density (PSD) at the top increased from the center to the wake. The vortex was visualized using the well-known scalar Q-criterion, and as a result, the closer to the outlet duct, the greater the influence of the mainstream, so that the inflow jet vortex was dissipated and mixed at the top of the lower plenum. Additionally, FFT analysis was performed on the support structure near the corner of the lower plenum with large temperature fluctuations, and as a result, it was confirmed that the temperature fluctuation of the flow did not have a significant effect near the corner wall. In addition, the vortices generated from the lower plenum to the outlet duct were identified in this paper. It is considered that the quantitative and qualitative results presented in this paper will serve as reference data for the benchmark.
