In the present study, radiation shielding and protection ability of prepared Flyash-lime-Gypsum (FaLG) bricks has been studied in terms of energy exposure build up factors and dose parameters. The energy exposure build up factors of Flyash-lime-Gypsum (FaLG) bricks have been calculated for the energy range of 0.015 MeV-15 MeV and for penetration depth upto 40 mfp directly using a new and simplified Piecewise Linear Spline Interpolation Method (PLSIM). In this new method, the calculations of G.P fitting parameters are not required. The verification and accuracy of this new method has been checked by comparing the results of exposure build up factor for NBS concrete calculated using present method with the results obtained by using G.P fitting method. Further, the relative dose distribution and reduced exposure dose rate for various radioactive isotopes without any shielding material and with Flyash-lime-Gypsum (FaLG) bricks have been calculated in the energy range of 59.59-1332 keV. On the basis of the obtained results, it has been reported that the prepared Flyash-lime-Gypsum (FaLG) bricks possess satisfactory radiation shielding properties and can be used as environmentally safe storage facilities for low level nuclear waste.

배연탈황설비에서 생성된 석고 슬러리 및 석고의 순도와 불순물의 정량분석은 시운전중인 탈황설비의 성능시험시 최적의 탈황공정을 모색하는 데 유용한 자료를 제공할 뿐만 아니라 생성된 석고는 시멘트나 석고 보드 등으로 사용될 수 있으므로 품질관리의 측면에서도 매우 중요하다. 석고의 순도는 결합수분, 삼산황 및 칼슘이온의 농도를 측정한 다음 환산식에 의해서 gypsum($CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$)의 형태로 변환할 수 있다. 성능시험시 시료의 수가 상당히 많으므로, 좀 더 간편하면서도 정확한 분석방법의 확립을 위해 여러가지 비교실험을 실시한 결과, 열분석을 통하여 결합수분을 측정하는 방법이 1시간 이내에 분석이 완료된다는 장점 외에 재현성 또한 아주 우수하였다. 그 외 실리카를 포함한 각종 석고의 불순물의 분석은 산으로 처리하는 방법과 융제를 사용한 용융법을 비교한 결과, 용융법이 훨씬 간편하고 정확한 결과를 나타내었다. 한편 소량의 탄산 마그네슘과 탄산 칼슘의 정량을 위해 사용되는 이산화탄소 측정장치의 트랩부분을 수정하여 이산화탄소 흡수제의 역류를 막도록 하였다. 열분석을 통한 결함수분 측정, 융제를 사용한 용융법 및 이산화탄소의 정량법으로 확립된 분석 방법을 통해 석고 슬러리 및 석고의 분석은 보다 짧은 시간내에 간편하면서도 정확하게 실시될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The effect of salts on the formation of ${\alpha}$-hemihydrated gypsum at boiling temperature under atmospheric pressure was studied by the solubility measurement method, and the formation of ${\alpha}$-hemihydrated gypsum from by-product gypsum of phosphoric acid process in the salts solution were investigated. The order of catalytic effect of salt on the formation of ${\alpha}$-hemihydrated gypsum are as follows: NH4Cl>NaCl>NaNO3. In the salts solution of sodium nitrate, sodium chloride, and ammonium chloride, prismatic ${\alpha}$-hemihydrated gypsum was obtained and the crystal form was converted to needle form in complex solution with sulfuric acid. The P2O5 content in gypsum was largely decreased in this atmosphoric solution process.

This paper uses modelling and experiment to perform a quantitative analysis for the gypsum and ettringite formations in cement pastes subjected to sulfate attack. Firstly, based on Fick's law and chemical reaction kinetics, a diffusion model of sulfate ions in cement pastes is proposed, and then the model of the gypsum and ettringite formations is established to analyze its contents in cement pastes with corrosion time. Secondly, the corrosion experiment of the specimens with cement pastes immersed into 2.5%, 5.0% and 10.0% $Na_2SO_4$ solutions are carried out, and by using XRD-Rietveld method, the phases of powder samples from the specimens are quantitatively analyzed to obtain the contents of gypsum and ettringite in different surface depth, solution concentration and corrosion time. Finally, the contents of gypsum and ettringite calculated by the models are compared with the results from the XRD experiments, and then the effects of surface depth, corrosion time and solution concentration on the gypsum and ettringite formations in cement pastes are discussed.

The extruded cement panel, which has many advantages as a prefabricated method, has been limited in its application due to its low fire-resistance. However, an extruded cement panel produced by mixing a-hemihydrate gypsum offers dramatically improved fire-resistance and is expected to have wide-ranging applications in the construction sector as an interior material or partition wall between housing units. Sound insulation performance is very important for the partition wall between housing units. In this study, the sound insulation performance of the extruded cement panel produced through the mixture of a-hemihydrate gypsum is reviewed in order to determine its usability for a partition wall between housing units and for interior materials. Through the review it was found that the wall formed using the extruded cement panels produced by mixing the a-hemihydrate gypsum have ★★★ class in sound insulation test, equal or superior compared with the other two types of extruded cement panel walls currently available in the market.

간척지 논 토양에서 석고의 처리는 염의 농도에 관계없이 고염도와 저염도 전체 토양에서 무처리 대비 71.3~98.9%까지 메탄 발생을 저감 할 수 있었다. 석고 처리에 따른 황산염을 증가는 전자수용체, 즉 황산염이온의 양 증대에 따른 전자의 활성저하와 황환원균의 활성증가가 메탄 발생을 저감시키는 가장 큰 요인인 것으로 판단된다. 간척지 논에 석고를 시용할 경우 부족한 칼슘의 공급효과를 통하여 토양의 물리성 및 배수 개선을 통하여 메탄 발생 감소에 영향을 줄 수 있었다. 또한 석고의 시용은 간척지 토양의 높은 pH와 높은 나트륨 이온을 효과적으로 저감할 수 있어 식물 생육 및 수량에 긍정적인 영향을 주었으며, 물리성 개선을 통하여 메탄 발생을 저감 시킬 수 있었다. 간척지 토양에서 석고의 시용은 벼 수량을 13.2~39.1%까지 증수 효과가 있었으나, 과량 처리시 오히려 생산성을 감소시켰다. 결론적으로 간척지에서 토양 개량을 위해 사용되어 지는 석고는 토양의 물리 화학성을 개선할 뿐만 아니라 메탄 발생을 효과적으로 저감할 수 있는 우수한 토양 개량제로서 평가되었다.

This study was carried out to find a method which can be used to measure the soil moisture content of the soil bin exactly and quickly. And gypsum block is used as an instrument in measuring soil moisture content in the field of green house farming, etc.. However the characteristics of gypsum block, or the guide line of making gypsum block is not well introduced in Korea. So the information about gypsum block such as the density of gypsum, type of electrode, dimension of electrode, distance between electrodes, density of surrounding soil were included in this study and their effects on the relationship between soil moisture content and electrical resistance were investigated. The results of this study are as follows; 1. The grid type electrode was quicker in accessing the equilibrium condition and showed more sensitive response to the change of soil moisture content than the plate type electrode. 2. The longer the distance between the electrodes, the larger the electrical resistance, and the distance of 3 to 5 mm was recommended. 3. The larger the width of the electrode, the smaller the electrical resistance. However, there was no significance between the levels designed in this study. Considering the size of the gypsum block itself, the adaptible range of width may be 4 to 8 mm. 4. The higher the density of gypsum, the smaller the electrical resistance. And the block of lower density was broken down in the soil of higy moisture content. The optimum ratio of gypsum to water was 7:5. 5. The measuring system used in this study allowed simultaneous, multi-data acquisition. So this system using A/D converter can be applied to the measurement of soil moisture content of soil bin.

The effects of interaction between concrete-gypsum interface and edge crack on the failure behavior of the specimens in senicircular bend (SCB) test were studied in the laboratory and also simulated numerically using the discrete element method. Some quarter circular specimens of gypsum and concrete with 5 cm radii and hieghts were separately prepared. Then the semicircular testing specimens were made by attaching one gypsum and one concrete sample to one another using a special glue and one edge crack is produced (in the interface) by do not using the glue in that part of the interface. The tensile strengths of concrete and gypsum samples were separately measured as 2.2 MPa and 1.3 MPa, respectively. during all testing performances a constant loading rate of 0.005 mm/s were stablished. The proposed testing method showed that the mechanism of failure and fracture in the brittle materials were mostly governed by the dimensions and number of discontinuities. The fracture toughnesses of the SCB samples were related to the fracture patterns during the failure processes of these specimens. The tensile behaviour of edge notch was related to the number of induced tensile cracks which were increased by decreasing the joint length. The fracture toughness of samples was constant by increasing the joint length. The failure process and fracture pattern in the notched semi-circular bending specimens were similar for both methods used in this study (i.e., the laboratory tests and the simulation procedure using the particle flow code (PFC2D)).

In producing high strength concrete, the most practical method is to use high range water reducing admixture(HRWR). Workabili쇼 of concrete using HRWR varies rapidly with elapsed time after mixing. Effects of fly ash and gypsum on slump loss and compressive strength of concrete were examined by experiment in this study. The slump loss of high strength concrete was reduced with increase of substitution ratio of fly ash. When 2~4% gypsum of cement weight was applied, the reduction of slump loss was not prominent and strength increase appeared at all test ages.

In this study, to test the performance of concrete used as a concrete admixture as a recycling method of CGS, gypsum was mixed and the chloride ion penetration resistance test of CGS and BFS substituted concrete was conducted. As a result, it was found that without gypsum type test specimen, the CGS sustituted test specimens had lower chloride ion penetration resistance than the BFS substituted specimens. When gypsum was added, it was confirmed that the chloride ion penetration resistance was poor regardless of the type of admixture. In addition, it was confirmed that both admixtures were less resistant to chloride ion penetration than OPC, regardless of the presence of gypsum. However, considering the uneven quality variation of coal, which greatly affects the quality of CGS, further research is needed.
