A new and reusable energy source is water-treatment sludges. There is a significant need for understanding the characteristics of sludge combustion related to improving efficiency and ensuring the safety of this new energy source. Because sludges are composed of solids and gas mixture, the combustion of the mixture may become quite complex. Not only decomposition of conventional organic elements but also dust explosion may be important during the process of converting sludges into a new and safe form of energy. Sludge combustion mainly involves hydrogen, methane, hydro carbons, carbon, and organic particles. Dust explosion during the gasification stage may depend on the surrounding temperature and the composition of gases. The uncertainty in the explosive behavior of energetic source is noted in this work. We study the explosion characteristics of sludge combustion while the reusability of sewage sludges as a new form of energy is also investigated.

Safety diagnosis of various structural components and facilities is indispensable for preventing catastrophic failure of material by time-dependent and environment accelerating degradation. Also, this diagnosis of operating components should be done periodically for safe maintenance and economical repair. However, conventional standard methods for mechanical properties have the problems of bulky specimen, destructive procedure and complex procedure of specimen sampling. So, a non-destructive and simple mechanical testing method using small specimen is needed. Therefore, an advanced indentation technique was developed as a potential method for non-destructive testing of in-field structures. This technique measures indentation load-depth curve during indentation and analyzes the mechanical properties related to deformation such as yield strength, tensile strength and work-hardening index. In this paper, we characterized the tensile properties including yield and tensile strengths of the V-modified Cr-Mo steels in petro-chemical and thermo-electrical plants. And also, the effects of hydrogen-assisted degradation of the V-modified Cr-Mo steels were analyzed in terms of work-hardening index and yield ratio.

During the last three decades, South Korean nuclear power plants have discharged about 5,950 tons of spent fuel and the maximum burn-up reached 55 GWd/MTU in 2002. This study was performed to support the development of Korean dry spent fuel storage alternatives. First, we chose V5H-$17{\times}17$ and KSFA-$16{\times}16$ as representative domestic spent fuels, considering current accumulation and the future generation of the spent fuels. Examination reveals that their average burn-ups have already increased from 33 to 51 GWd/MTU and from 34.8 to 48.5 GWd/MTU, respectively. Evaluation of the fuel characteristics shows that at the average burn-up of 42 GWd/MTU, the oxide thickness, hydrogen content, and hoop stress ranged from $30{\sim}60{\mu}m$, 250 ~ 500 ppm, and 50 ~ 75 MPa, respectively. But when burn-up exceeds 55 GWd/MTU, those characteristics can increase up to 100 ${\mu}m$, 800 ppm, and 120 MPa, respectively, depending on the power history. These results demonstrate that most Korean spent nuclear fuels are expected to remain within safe bounds during long-term dry storage, however, the excessive hoop stress and hydrogen concentration may trigger the degradation of the spent fuel integrity early during the long-term dry storage in the case of high burn-up spent fuels exceeding 45 GWd/MTU.

The amount of natural gas that is used on a worldwide scale is continuously going up. Natural gas and acidic components, such as hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide, cause significant corrosion damage to transmission lines and equipment in various quantities. One of the fundamental processes in natural gas processing is the separation of acid gases, among which the safety and environmental needs due to the high toxicity of hydrogen sulfide and also to prevent wear and corrosion of pipelines and gas transmission and distribution equipment, the necessity of sulfide separation Hydrogen is more essential than carbon dioxide and other compounds. Given this problem's significance, this endeavor aims to extend the lifespan of the transmission lines' pipes for gas and oil. Zinc oxide nanoparticles made from the environmentally friendly source of Allium scabriscapum have been employed to accomplish this crucial purpose. This is a simple, safe and cheap synthesis method compared to other methods, especially chemical methods. The formation of zinc oxide nanoparticles was shown by forming an absorption peak at a wavelength of about 355 nm using a spectrophotometric device and an X-ray diffraction pattern. The size and morphology of synthesized nanoparticles were determined by scanning and transmission electron microscope, and the range of size changes of nanoparticles was determined by dynamic light scattering device.

The risk assessment (safety assessment) must be performed to verify the risks during operation and installation of the hydrogen system and to ensure safe design and operation. Among them, hazard and operability study (HAZOP), a qualitative risk assessment, is most often used to discover risk factors and secure safety. However, in HAZOP performance, there is a difference in the level of evaluation results depending on the level and experience of the evaluator, and there is a high possibility that subjective results will be derived. This study aims to develop a risk factor library that can list and provide information on potential risk factors in order to solve these problems when performing HAZOP, reduce risk factors that are omitted or overlooked.

수소는 지구 온난화의 주범인 온실가스(GHG) 배출을 감소시키고 선박용 친환경 연료로서 대두되고 있다. 수소는 가연 하한계(Lower Flammability Limit, LFL)가 4 ~ 75 %이고 폭발 위험성이 큰 물질이다. 그래서 선박용으로 사용되려면 누출에 대비한 안전성이 충분히 확보되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 수소탱크 저장실에서 수소 누출이 발생한 경우, 급·배기구의 면적 변화가 환기 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 급·배기구의 면적은 1A = 740 mm × 740 mm이며 저장실 표면에 크기 및 위치 변경이 쉽도록 설정하였다. CFD 상용 소프트웨어인 ANSYS CFX ver 18.1을 이용하여 급·배기구의 면적을 1A, 2A, 3A, 5A로 변경하였고, 면적 변화에 따른 저장실 내의 수소 몰분율을 분석하였다. 그 결과 급기구 면적이 배기구 면적 증가에 비해 누출 수소의 농도를 더 감소시켰으며 단일 급기구보다 최소 2A 이상에서 환기 성능이 향상되었다. 급기구의 면적이 증가할수록 수소 층화가 저장실 상부부터 균일하게 형성되었지만 LFL 범위는 벗어나 있었다. 그러나 배기구는 면적을 단순히 증가하는 것만으로는 환기 성능에 미치는 영향은 미비하였다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the tooth whitening effect of 0.74% and 2.80% hydrogen peroxide toothpastes and safety on tooth and gingival tissue. Methods : Toothpastes containing 0.74% and 2.80% hydrogen peroxide were evaluated. In in-vitro test, some additives (sodium metaphosphate, sodium pyrophosphate and titanium dioxide) were added to the toothpastes. Hydroxyapatite specimens (HAPs) were made and stained using modified Stookey's methods. HAPs were treated for 1 hour at shaking incubator and brushed for 1,000 times as 250 gF with each diluted toothpaste. Before and after color was measured by colorimeter. Using double blind method, 99 Korean with natural maxillary anterior teeth were selected and the initial brightness (baseline) was measured by SHADEEYE-EX. Based on this measurement they were crossly distributed into control group (0% hydrogen peroxide), test 1 (0.74% hydrogen peroxide) and test 2 (2.80% hydrogen peroxide). After 2 weeks, people of each group were provided toothpaste and told to use 3 times a day right after every meal for 3 minutes. The brightness of teeth was measured 3 times for every one month. Results : ${\Delta}L$ was statistically significant among three groups in shaking test. ${\Delta}L$ of two test groups was statistically significant compared with control group but not between each test group in brushing test. After using toothpaste for 3 months, test 1 group and test 2 group were 15.89% and 31.23% more whitened compared with control group respectively (p<0.05). Rate of more whitened person of each test group was 24.2% and 40.5% more than control group respectively (p<0.05). There was no difference in the hypersensitivity during 3 months using toothpastes and no side effect on teeth or gums. Conclusions : Toothpastes containing 0.74% and 2.80% hydrogen peroxide showed tooth whitening effect and both were safe enough to use for tooth whitening.

수소에너지 기술은 4차 산업 시대에서 주목받는 중요한 분야로 수소와 산소를 활용하여 전기 에너지를 생성하는 기술이다. 이 기술을 군사 차량에 적용할 경우, 온실가스 감소, 무소음, 저 진동 및 낮은 발열량의 효과로서 군사적으로 전략적 이점을 얻을 수 있어 다국에서 수소 군사 차량을 위한 연구 중이다. 우리나라 또한 미래 군사 차량에 수소를 적용하고 소형화 및 AI를 통한 스마트화 시키는 미래전을 대비한 전략인 Army Tiger4.0 계획을 수립하였다. 또한 국방부는 군용 수소충전소 설치에 따라 군 내 수소차 보급에도 탄력이 붙을 것으로 예상하여 환경부와의 협력으로 군용 수소충전소를 전국적으로 확충하기 위한 계획을 수립하였다. 하지만 수소는 화재와 폭발 위험물질로 안전한 충전소 구축과 효과적인 관리를 위한 체계적인 제도가 필요하다. 현재 군에서는 지정한 수소충전소 시설의 분류와 설치 조건을 군 시설 설계지침서를 통해 확인하였다. 그 결과, 충전소는 주유 시설로 분류되며 인접 건물과의 최소 안전거리를 2m 이상으로 이격시키는 것만 명시되어 있을 뿐 안전거리에 대한 그 외의 내용은 명시되지 않았다. 폭발의 규모가 큰 수소의 특성을 고려하여 과학적 기법을 통해 사고 피해 범위를 정량적으로 파악하고 피해 거리 밖으로 최소 안전거리를 제시하였다.
