본 연구에서는 염수환경이 고강성 탄소-에폭시 복합재의 기계적 특성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 시편은 UPN139B 탄소-에폭시 복합재로 제작하였고, 3.5% 염수에 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12개월 간의 침수 후 면내 인장시험과 전단시험을 수행하였다. 실험에서 온도 조절과 같이 흡수 시간을 절약하기 위한 특별한 가속방법은 사용하지 않았다. 섬유방향 및 기지방향 인장강도와 강성의 경우 12개월 동안의 침수에도 불구하고 특별한 변화를 발견할 수 없었다. 반면 12개월 침수 후 전단강도와 강성은 염수에 노출되지 않은 시편에 비해 약 10% 내외의 감소를 보였다. 본 연구를 통하여 UPN139B가 우수한 섬유방향 강성과 내부식성으로 인하여 염수환경에서 외부수압에 의한 좌굴을 지지해야 하는 구조물의 설계에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Space nuclear reactors are becoming popular in deep space exploration owing to their advantages of high-power density and stability. Following the fourth-generation nuclear reactor technology, a conceptual design of the dual drum-controlled space molten salt reactor (D²-SMSR) is proposed. The reactor concept uses molten salt as fuel and heat pipes for cooling. A new reactivity control strategy that combines control drums and safety drums was adopted. Critical physical characteristics such as neutron energy spectrum, neutron flux distribution, power distribution and burnup depth were calculated. Flow and heat transfer characteristics such as natural convection, velocity and temperature distribution of the D²-SMSR under low gravity conditions were analyzed. The reactivity control effect of the dual-drums strategy was evaluated. Results showed that the D²-SMSR with a fast spectrum could operate for 10 years at the full power of 40 kWth. The D²-SMSR has a high heat transfer coefficient between molten salt and heat pipe, which means that the core has a good heat-exchange performance. The new reactivity control strategy can achieve shutdown with one safety drum or three control drums, ensuring high-security standards. The present study can provide a theoretical reference for the design of space nuclear reactors.

The present work describes the identification, purification, and characterization of bile salt hydrolase (BSH) from Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis. The enzyme was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by hydrophobic chromatography, ion-exchange chromatography and ultrafiltration. SDS-PAGE analysis of putative BSH and gel filtration revealed that the analyzed protein is presumably a tetramer composed of four monomers each of about 35 kDa. The purified enzyme was analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled to LTQ FT ICR mass spectrometry and unambiguously identified as a bile salt hydrolase from B. animalis. The isoelectric point of the studied protein was estimated to be around pH 4.9. The pH optimum of the purified BSH is between 4.7 to 6.5, and the temperature optimum is around 50oC. The BSH of B. animalis could deconjugate all tested bile salts, with clear preference for glycine-conjugated bile salts over taurine-conjugated forms. Genetic analysis of the bsh showed high similarity to the previously sequenced bsh gene from B. animalis and confirmed the usefulness of bile salt hydrolase as a genetic marker for B. animalis identification.

This research concerns the effect of kaolin as material of cement admixture. which has the advantage of low price and high adaptability. Kaolin, a kind of soil, is well known as a raw material of pottery. which is widely scat-tered on the earth (especially in Korea). This research shows the method and process for activating kaolin to have the properties of a cement admixture through experiment. In the experiments, kaolin is baked in high temperature and then cooled suddenly to be activated. The temperature zone and time span, on which kaolin is activated are examined. The research looks over the effect of the activated kaolin based on several criteria regarding to chemical and physical characteristic of general admixtures. The results of this research are as follows; kaolin start activation at the temperature above 50$0^{\circ}C$ and make ends of activation at the temperature below 95$0^{\circ}C$ and there was little effect by the change of duration. It is concluded that compressive strength can be increased by putting activated kaolin in the concrete and the activated kaolin is good for water resistance and anti-chemical , and that it is effective for protecting the leakage of hazardous article like Cl- and for protecting damage by an organic salt like acid. The activated kaolin of proper temperature and time is effective in compressive strength, salt resistance and acid resistance. The adaptability of activated kaolin as a cement admixture was shown through this research.

ITO glass 제조공정에서 발생되는 인듐스크랩으로부터 인듐옥살산염의 제조에서 유기산의 영향을 연구하였다. 유기산의 종류, 농도 그리고 반응액의 pH, 온도, 시간 등을 변화시키면서 인듐옥살산염 제조에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 불순물 제거 효율은 구연산 및 옥살산 모두 비슷하였으나 구연산은 인듐과 유기산염을 형성하지 못하였다. 인듐옥살산염 제조의 최적 조건은 옥살산 농도 1.5M, pH 7, 반응온도 $80^{\circ}C$, 반응시간 6시간이었다. 한편, pH가 증가하면 회수율은 증가하지만, 순도는 감소하였다. 2회 반복으로 제조된 인듐옥살산염의 순도는 99.995% (4N5)를 나타내었다. 인듐옥살산염은 치환반응, 소성 등에 의해 인듐금속 및 인듐산화물 등으로 전환할 수 있다.

Thermal design was conducted for a solar thermal storage system in a medium-temperature range between $200^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$. The system was composed of heat pipes as heat carrier and molten salts as phase-change storage material. Each heat pipe penetrated through the storage system and had two heat-exchanging sections at both ends to interact with high-and low-temperature steams, while it exchanged heat with molten salts in the middle section. During a heat-storage mode, the heat pipes transferred heat from the hot steam at one side to the molten salts and it transferred heat from the molten salt to the cold steam at the other side during the heat-dissipating mode. A tube-bank type heat exchanger theory was applied to this design task to meet the required inlet and outlet temperatures of the steams depending on the operation modes. Several design variables were considered including the lengths of evaporator and condenser of a heat pipe, traverse and longitudinal pitches of the pipe, and the number of rows of the heat pipes for two different molten salt baths. An optimum design results were presented with discussion.

The separator for a molten carbonate fuel cell(MCFC) is mode of stainless steel and known to the suscepibility to corrosion due to environments of high temperature molten carbonte electrolyte. Considering the sensitization of stainless steel in the temperature range of 425~$815^{\circ}C$, the separator is expected to be sensitized so that the interganular corrosion (IGC) occurs during the cell operation at about $650^{\circ}C$. In this study, EPR(electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation) technique was examined by relating some elements(mainly C and Cr) to the degree of sensitization of austenitic stainless steels in the molten carbonate salt at $650^{\circ}C$and the possible mechanism of intergranular corrosion was analyzed.

전통식품인 저염젓갈을 대상으로 비열처리방법인 초고압가공법을 적용하여 미생물 살균효과와 품질변화를 측정하였다. 멸치젓의 생균수는 $20^{\circ}C$에서 처리압력의 증가에 따라 서서히 감소하다가 처리압력을 400MPa로 증가시켰을때 급격히 감소하였고, 300 MPa에서 처리온도를 $50^{\circ}C$로 증가시켰을 경우에는 7배 이상 감소되었으며, 처리시간의 증가에 따라 급격히 감소되었다. 과산화물가는 처리압력, 온도, 시간의 증가에 따라 증가하였는데, 그 중 처리온도가 가장 큰 영향인자였다. TBA가는 초고압 처리 전후에 약 2배 이상 증가하여 그 변화 폭은 컸으나, 처리조건에 따른 변화는 적었다. VBN은 초고압 처리 전후와 처리조건에 따라 다소 증가하거나 감소하였으나 거의 비슷하였다. 아미노태질소 함량은 온화한 초고압 처리조건에서는 변화가 적었으나, 처리온도, 압력, 시간의 증가에 따라 증가하였는데, 처리온도에 따른 증가폭이 가장 컸다. 이상의 결과로부터 젓갈의 위생적 안정성을 유지하면서 품질 향상을 위해서는 가능한 낮은 온도와 압력 조건에서 처리시간을 증가시킬 필요가 있었는데, 이를 고려하여 볼 때 젓갈의 최적 처리조건은 $20^{\circ}C/300\;MPa/15\;min$이었다.

Microporous glasses were prepared from the 50 $SiO_2-44$ $B_2O_3-6$ $Na_2O$(wt%) parent glass by the phase eparation technique and were characterized by SEM, BET, and Gas Adsorption methods to investigate the possiblity of their use as salt-rejection membranes for reverse osmosis. The conditions of the phase separation for the possible glass membranes were optimized for the given parent glass. The temperature and duration of heat-treatment were desired to be lower(853K) and shorter (1/2~1 hr) respectively. The specific surface areas of porous glasses prepared in this study were about 80~120$m^2$/g and their pore size distribution had a unimodal shape(peak pore radius less than 15$\AA$) It was suggested that the porous glass obtained in this work could be effective for salt-rejection in point of pore size distributions but the way to increase its surface area for the high flux must be studied.

Capsules containing NaCl-MgCl₂ salt with 316L stainless steel or alloy N samples were irradiated in the Ohio State University Research Reactor for 21 nonconsecutive hours. A custom irradiation vessel was designed for this purpose, and details on its design and construction are given. Stainless steel samples that were irradiated during exposure had less corrosive attack than samples exposed to the same conditions without irradiation. Alloy N samples showed no significant effect of irradiation. This work shows a method for conducting in-reactor irradiation-corrosion experiments in static molten salts and presents preliminary data showing that neutron irradiation may decelerate corrosion of alloys in molten chloride salts.
