There have been some studies on the use of coal waste as a raw material for clay bricks due to the lack of naturally producing minerals. It can help resolving the problems of pollution, forest conservation and flood control by utilizing coal waste. However, high content of carbon materials usually leads to the black core in clay bricks after firing process, and diminishes the mechanical and aesthetical properties of clay brick. In this study, the effect of firing process is investigated for the removal of black core in clay bricks with carbon content. The removal kinetics of black core are also compared and investigated with the firing schedule and black core removal.

국내 Westinghouse형 및 CE형 가압 경수로의 Non-LOCA 및 성능 분석을 수행할 수 있는 범용 전산 코드 TASS 1.0 코드를 한국원자력연구소에서 개발하였다. TASS 1.0의 노심 출력 계산은 Point Kinetics 모델과 1차원 확산 모델이 함께 내장되어 있어 축방향 출력 분포가 변하는 반응도 관련 사고 및 주증기관 파단 사고들에 대해서는 1차원 확산 모델을 사용하여 노심의 출력 계산이 가능하도록 개발되었다. 1차원 확산 모델의 적용 가능성 및 효과를 평가하기 위하여 Westinghouse형 발전소인 고리 3호기 7주기 및 CE형 발전소인 영광 3호기 1주기 전출력 제어봉 인출 사고에 대한 비교 분석 계산을 수행하였다. 비교 분석 계산 결과 1차원 확산 모델이 Point Kinetics 모델에 비해 DNBR 관점에서 보다 많은 운전 및 열적 여유도를 확보함이 판명되어 반응도 관련 사고 해석에서의 TASS 1.0 1차원 확산모델의 개선 효과를 입증하였다.

Thermal decomposition kinetics for two different types of polyurethane elastomers prepared with 2,2'-dichloro-4,4'-methylenedianiline (MOCA) and 3,5-dimethyl-thiotoluenediamine (Ethacure-300), based on PTMG/TDI isocyanate prepolymer, were studied using non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Thermograms were obtained and analyzed using Friedman (FR) and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) methods for activation energy, $E_a$. The results obtained showed that decomposition reaction of both samples was observed similarly to occur through three different stages, i.e., initial stage with vaporization of low molecular weight materials, second stage of urethane linkage decompositions, and later stage of polyol segment decompositions. However, activation energy values at each stage for the sample cured with Ethacure-300 was much lower than those for the sample with MOCA, exhibiting relatively lower thermal stability for the sample with Ethacure-300 than that with MOCA.

The carboxylated multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-COOH) and functionalized with isatin derivative (MWCNT-isatin) have been used as efficient adsorbents for the removal of lead (Pb) from aqueous solutions. The influence of variables including pH, concentration of the lead, amount of adsorbents and contact time was investigated by the batch method. The adsorption of the lead ions from aqueous solution by modified MWCNTs was studied kinetically using different kinetic models. The kinetic data were fitted with pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intra-particle diffusion models. The sorption process with MWCNT-COOH and MWCNT-isatin was well described by pseudo-second-order and pseudo-first-order kinetics, respectively which it was agreed well with the experimental data. Also, it involved the particle-diffusion mechanism. The values of regression coefficient of various adsorption isotherm models like Langmuir, Freundlich and Tempkin to obtain the characteristic parameters of each model have been carried out. The Langmuir isotherm was found to best represent the measured sorption data for both adsorbent.

Effects of tungsten (W) on the precipitation kinetics of secondary phases and the associated resistance to pitting corrosion of 25%Cr duplex stainless steels were investigated through microstructural and electrochemical noise analyses. With the partial substitution of W for Mo in duplex stainless steel, the potential and current noises of the alloy were significantly decreased in chloride solution due to retardation of the ${\sigma}$ phase precipitation. The preferential precipitation of the $\chi$ phase in the W-containing alloy during the early period of aging contributed to retarding the precipitation of the $\sigma$ phase by depleting W and Mo along grain boundaries. In addition, the retardation of the nucleation and growth of the $\sigma$ phase in the W-containing alloy appears to be attributed to the inherently low diffusivity of W compared with that of Mo.

Comb-type graft hydrogels composed of alginate and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) were prepared to manifest rapid temperature and pH sensitivity. To appear the electro-sensitivity, the polyaniline, conducting polymer, was added into the matrix. The swelling kinetics and ratios were compared under the various compositions of polyaniline. The swelling behaviors revealed that conducting polymer/hydrogel composites could control the swelling ratio and kinetics. The addition of polyaniline in the matrix improved the thermal stability in comparison with that of the hydrogel without polyaniline. In temperature sensitivity, the adding the polyaniline into the matrix decreased the degree of change in the swelling ratio. The swelling ratios continuously increased with increasing pH values. The drug release rate from the hydrogel increased with the adding the polyaniline and the applying the direct voltage to the hydrogels.

The rearrangement of ${\beta}$-4-nitroazoxybenzene into 4-hydroxy-4'-nitroazobenzene in strongly acidic solutions has been as certained by UV spectrophotometry. The kinetics of the rearrangement in 20 vol. % ethanol and 80 vol. % of aqueous sulfuric acid-water solutions has been studied, and the rearrangement was found to be acid catalyzed pseudo-frst-order reaction. The mechanism of the rearrangement is also discussed.

A mechanism for the ring formation of nickel phthalocyanine (Ni-Pc) has been proposed based on chemical kinetics. The effect of the catalyst on the rate was examined, and ammonium molybdate has been found to be the most effective. The reaction order of the ring formation was determined to be of the 1st order over all, with only the concentration of urea affecting the rate of the ring formation. All the results including thermodynamic parameters support a conclusion that the rate-determining step seems to be the enolization of the urea-catalyst transition complex, followed by fast decomposition of the tautomeric enolized urea into ammonia and isocyanic acid. These intermediates then reacted with the phthalic anhydride to form imino and diimino-phthalimide, which condense to form nickel phthalocyanine in the presence of the nickel cation.

Kinetics of reactions of chloride and bromide ions with benzyl chloride and bromide have been investigated in 90% ethanol solution. Semi-quantitative analysis of the results shows that the bond-formation is more important than the bond-breaking and furthermore in bond-formation the energy gain due to bond-formation is less than the increase in electron affinity of the nucleophile.

In the reaction A + B $^\rightarrow_\leftarrow$ C, where A and B are ionic reactants having opposite charges, a B molecule approaching an A will experience a switching of the interaction potential when the A molecule is captured by one of the other B molecules in the medium. In the reversible case, the former B molecule still has a chance to react with the A, so that one needs to take into account the switched interaction between the reactant B and the product C as well as that between the reactants to treat the kinetics accurately. It is shown that this kind of interaction potential switching affects the relaxation kinetics in an intriguing way as observed in a recent experiment on an excited-state proton transfer reaction.
