In order to evaluate high-temperature oxidation behavior of the advanced alloy cladding under LOCA conditions, isothermal oxidation tests in steam were performed with cladding specimens prepared from high burnup PWR fuel rods that were irradiated up to 79 MWd/kg. Cladding materials were $M5^{(R)}$ and $ZIRLO^{TM}$, which are Nb-containing alloys. Ring-shaped specimens were isothermally oxidized in flowing steam at temperatures from 1173 to 1473 K for the duration between 120 and 4000s. Oxidation rates were evaluated from measured oxide layer thickness and weight gain. A protective effect of the preformed corrosion layer is seen for the shorter time range at the lower temperatures. The influence of pre-hydriding is not significant for the examined range. Alloy composition change generally has small influence on oxidation in the examined temperature range, though $M5^{(R)}$ shows an obviously smaller oxidation constant at 1273 K. Consequently, the oxidation rates of the high burnup $M5^{(R)}$ and $ZIRLO^{TM}$ cladding are comparable or lower than that of unirradiated Zircaloy-4 cladding.

A small leak occurring on the surface of a fuel rod due to damage exposes UO₂ to a steam atmosphere. During this time, fission gas trapped inside the fuel rod leaks out, and the gas leakage can be increased due to UO₂ oxidation. Numerous studies have focused on the steam oxidation and its thermodynamic calculation in UO₂. However, the thermodynamic calculation of the UO₂ oxidation in a pressurized water reactor (PWR) environment has not been studied extensively. Moreover, the kinetics of the oxidation of UO₂ pellet also has not been investigated. Therefore, in this study, the thermodynamics of UO₂ oxidation under steam injection due to a damaged fuel rod in a PWR environment is studied. In addition, the diminishing radius of the UO₂ pellet with time in the PWR environment was calculated through an experiment simulating the initial time of steam injection at the puncture.

Fenton-like oxidation of para-nitrophenol(PNP) was studied using hydrogen peroxide iii combination with steeler's dust substituted for ferrous iron in Fenton's reaction. Various factors critical in the degradation of PNP were studied, including hydrogen peroxide dosage, concentration of steeler's dust. and initial pH. Experimental results showed that 1,000mg/L PNP and its oxidation intermediate could be mostly decomposed within 30m1n by 10g/L steeler's dust, 0.25% hydrogen peroxide, and initila pH of 3.0. The reaction rate constant (k) of CODcr concentration were calculated with the addition of steeler's dust(0.0059 min$^{-1}$ (g/L)$^{-1}$ ) and hydrogen peroxide(0.2965 min$^{-1}$ (%)$^{-1}$ ), respectively.

The electrochemical oxidation of cerium(III) was carried out using divided and undivided electrochemical cells in nitric acid medium. It was found that divided cell with Nafion 324 as the separator gave good conversion yield with high current efficiency compared to the undivided cell. The efficiency of the divided electrochemical cell was further optimized in terms of cell voltage, temperature, flow rate of solution recirculation, concentrations of Ce(III) and nitric acid. The better conditions for 1 M Ce(III) in 3 M nitric acid were found to be 2.5 V, 363 K and 100 mL/min recirculation flow rate based on the current efficiency under the experimental conditions investigated. The Ce(IV) oxidant produced was used as a mediator for the mineralization of phenol. The mineralization efficiency of the cerium mediated electrochemical oxidation was found rapid and higher compared to the direct electrochemical oxidation based on CO2 evolution under the same conditions.

Kinetic studies on cupric ion ($Cu^{2+}$) oxidation of 1-benzyl- and 1-aryl-1,4-dihydronicotinamides (XNAH) in aqueous solution were performed. In the presence of dioxygen ($O_2$), the reaction followed first order kinetics with respect to both XNAH and $Cu^{2+}$. The oxidation reaction was found to be independent and parallel to the acid-catalyzed hydration reaction of XNAH. The catalytic role of $Cu^{2+}$ for the oxidation of XNAH in the presence of $O_2$ was attributed to $Cu^{2+}/Cu^+$ redox cycle by the reactions with XNAH and $O_2$. The second order rate constants of the Cu2+ oxidation reaction kCu, and acid-catalyzed hydration reaction $k_H$ were strongly dependent on the nature of the substituents in 1-aryl moiety. The slopes of log $k_{Cu}$ vs log $K_H$ and log $k_{Cu}$ vs ${\sigma}_p$ of the substituents plots were 1.64 and -2.2, respectively. This revealed the greater sensitivity of the oxidation reaction rate to the electron density on the ring nitrogen than the hydration reaction rate. A concerted two-electron transfer route involving XNAH-$Cu^{2+}$ complex was proposed for mechanism of the oxidation reaction.

고정층 촉매 반응기를 이용하여 ${\gamma}$-알루미나에 담지한 크롬산화물 촉매상에서 vinyl chloride의 완전산화잔응을 $240{\sim}300^{\circ}C$의 온도와 600~3,500 ppm의 농도범위에서 조사하였다. 반응은 vinyl chloride의 농도에 대하여 비선형적으로 변하였으며, 산소의 농도에 대하여는 0차 거동을 보였다. 또한 반응 생성물인 $H_2O$와 HCl를 반응물에 첨가하였을 때 vinyl chloride의 전환율에 영향이 거의 없었다. Vinyl chloride의 산화반응에 대한 몇 가지 반응모델을 가정하고 실험결과와 상관시켜 가장 잘 일치하는 모델을 도출하였다. 속도식의 해석결과 vinyl chloride의 산화반응은 산소로 피복된 촉매표면에 vinyl chloride가 흡착한 후 산화분해되며, vinyl chloride가 촉매표면에 흡착하여 반응을 방해한다는 가정하에서 도출된 반응속도 모델이 실험결과를 가장 잘 표현하였다. 실험치와 예측치간의 표준편차 백분율은 약 5.2% 정도였으며 활성화에너지는 18.9 kcal/mol으로 계산되었다.

배소김과 조미김의 저장중 지방질 산화의 변질요인을 조사하기 위하여 몇가지 광원, $a_w$, 포장 및 온도의 영향을 시험하였다. 배소김의 주요 지방산 조성은 16 : 0(14.9%) 및 20 : 5(46.4%) 이었다. 배소김과 조미김의 지방질 산화는 형광등 하에서 가장 심하였고 다음이 백열등, 암소저장 순 이었으며, 또한 지방질의 산화는 $a_w$가 증가할수록, 저장온도가 높을수록 급격히 증가하는 경향을 보였고 기체 및 광 차단 효과가 큰 포장지에 포장한 시료일수록 산화가 억제 되었다. 배소김과 조미김의 지방질 산화를 kinetics 측면에서 고찰한 결과 조미김의 지방질 산화가 배소김 보다 약 3배 빨랐으나 chlorophyll 감소량은 배소김이 조미김 보다 약간 많았다.

.Oxidized Mn and Fe retained by UF did not cause membrane fouling, but reduced it. .Periodic backwashing rather aggravated fouling due to the deposition of Mn oxides on the outside, which was associated with oxidation kinetics.
