This study investigates the gasification of coal char by $CO_2$ under high pressures in a drop tube furnace(DTF). The rate constants are derived for the shrinking core model using the conventional method based on the set reactor conditions. The computational fluid dynamic(CFD) simulations adopting the rate constants revealed that the carbon conversion was much slower than the experimental results, especially under high temperature and high partial pressure of reactants. Three reasons were identified for the discrepancy: i) shorter reaction time because of the entry region for heating, ii) lower particle temperature by the endothermic reaction, and iii) lower partial pressure of $CO_2$ by its consumption. Therefore, the rate constants were corrected based on the actual reaction conditions of the char. The CFD results updated using the corrected rate constants well matched with the measured values. Such correction of reaction conditions in a DTF is essential in deriving rate constants for any char conversion models by $H_2O$ and $O_2$ as well as $CO_2$.

본 연구에서는 초임계 $CO_2$($scCO_2$)를 이용하여 폐콘크리트 순환골재와 반응한 용출수의 pH를 9.8 이하로 유지시켜(중성화) 재활용할 수 있는 기술을 개발하기 위한 실내 배치실험을 수행하였다. 실험재료로는 건설폐기물중간처리업체에서 제공받은 세 종류의 순환골재를 사용하였으며, 각 종류별로 골재 입자크기 별로 선별하여 총 7개의 시료를 사용하였다. 먼저 $scCO_2$-물-순환골재 반응에 의해 순환골재의 pH가 지속적으로 낮게 유지되는지를 확인하는 반응실험을 수행하였다. 스테인레스강철로 만들어진 고압셀(150 mL 용량)에 테플론 비이커를 고정시킨 후, 3차 증류수 70 mL와 순환골재 시료 35 g을 혼한한 후 고압용 오븐과 고압시린지 펌프 및 압력조절 장치를 이용하여 10 MPa(100 bar), $50^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 50일간 반응시켰다. 반응시간(1, 5, 10, 15, 30, 50일)에 따른 증류수의 pH, 용존 양이온과 음이온 농도를 측정하였다. $scCO_2$ 반응에 의한 순환골재의 지화학적 및 광물학적 변화를 확인하기 위하여 반응 전/후 XRD, SEM-EDS 등의 분석을 실시하였다. 마지막으로 $scCO_2$ 반응 후 순환골재의 용출수 pH 변화를 용출실험을 통하여 규명하였다. $scCO_2$-물-순환골재 반응 결과, 반응 전 순환골재의 pH는 평균 12보다 높은 값을 나타내었으나, $scCO_2$와 반응한 지 1시간 경과 후 증류수의 pH는 7이하로 낮아졌고 반응 50일 까지 pH가 8 이하로 안정되게 유지되었다. 순환골재 종류와 관계없이 $scCO_2$와의 용해 반응에 의해 수용액 내 $Ca^{2+}$, $Si^{4+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Na^+$ 이온들의 농도가 증가하였으며, $scCO_2$ 반응 후 골재의 XRD, SEM-EDS 분석 결과, 다량의 방해석과 일부 무정형의 규산염과 수산화물이 침전되었다. $scCO_2$로 처리하지 않은 순환골재의 용출수 pH는 용출 시간에 관계없이 12-13을 유지하였으나, $scCO_2$로 50일 처리한 경우와 1일 처리한 순환골재의 경우 모두, 입자크기와 관계없이 용출수의 pH가 9이하를 유지하여 건설현장에서 순환골재의 재활용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.

Background: Nuclear reactors produce a great number of antielectron neutrinos mainly from beta-decay chains of fission products. Such neutrinos have energies mostly in MeV range. We are interested in neutrinos in a region of keV, since they may take part in special weak interactions. We calculate reactor antineutrino spectra especially in the low energy region. In this work we present neutrino spectrum from a typical pressurized water reactor (PWR) reactor core. Materials and Methods: To calculate neutrino spectra, we need information about all generated nuclides that emit neutrinos. They are mainly fission fragments, reaction products and trans-uranium nuclides that undergo negative beta decay. Information in relation to trans-uranium nuclide compositions and its evolution in time (burn-up process) were provided by a reactor code MVP-BURN. We used typical PWR parameter input for MVP-BURN code and assumed the reactor to be operated continuously for 1 year (12 months) in a steady thermal power (3.4 GWth). The PWR has three fuel compositions of 2.0, 3.5 and 4.1 wt% $^{235}U$ contents. For preliminary calculation we adopted a standard burn-up chain model provided by MVP-BURN. The chain model treated 21 heavy nuclides and 50 fission products. The MVB-BURN code utilized JENDL 3.3 as nuclear data library. Results and Discussion: We confirm that the antielectron neutrino flux in the low energy region increases with burn-up of nuclear fuel. The antielectron-neutrino spectrum in low energy region is influenced by beta emitter nuclides with low Q value in beta decay (e.g. $^{241}Pu$) which is influenced by burp-up level: Low energy antielectron-neutrino spectra or emission rates increase when beta emitters with low Q value in beta decay accumulate Conclusion: Our result shows the flux of low energy reactor neutrinos increases with burn-up of nuclear fuel.

Surface oxides and intergranular (IG) oxidation phenomena in Alloy 600 depending on hydrogen concentration were characterized to obtain clear insight into the primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) behavior upon exposure to pressurized water reactor primary water. When hydrogen concentration was between 5 and 30 cm³ H₂/kg H₂O, NiFe₂O₄ and NiO type oxides were found on the surface. NiO type oxides were found inside the oxidized grain boundary when hydrogen concentration was 5 cm³ H₂/kg H₂O. However, only NiFe₂O₄ spinel on the surface and Ni enrichment were observed when hydrogen concentration was 30 cm³ H₂/kg H₂O. These results indicate that the oxidation/reduction reaction of Ni in Alloy 600 depending on hydrogen concentration can considerably affect surface oxidation behavior. It appears that the formation of NiO type oxides in a Ni oxidation state and Ni enrichment in a Ni reduction (or metallic) state are common in primary water. It is believed that the above different oxidation/reduction reactions of Ni in Alloy 600 depending on hydrogen concentration can also significantly affect the resistance to PWSCC of Alloy 600.

울산의 한 실험실에서 3년 전에 혼합가스용기(80% 아르곤 20% 산소)가 파열되었다. 그러나 파열의 원인이 명확하게 규명되지 못하였다. 이 논문은 공인 감정기관의 감정서와 경찰의 수사결과보고서를 토대로 사고시나리오를 제시하여 보았다. 폭발은 혼합가스 용기 내에서의 화학반응에 의하여 발생한 것으로 판단된다. 이는 고압산소용기의 파열사고들과 유사한 것으로 사료된다.

Microwave-irradiation has become a common heat source in organic chemistry in the last decade. In recent years, polymer chemists also discovered the advances of microwave heating that include fast and efficient heating as well as the homogeneous heat profile and the easy access to pressurized reaction conditions. In this contribution, we report our investigations on the cationic ring-opening polymerization of 2-oxazolines that lead to a tremendous acceleration from several days to several minutes polymerization time. In addition, the optimized microwave-assisted polymerization procedure was applied for the preparation of libraries of diblock and triblock copolymers that were used for the determination of structure-property relationships in poly(2-oxazoline)s.

The two stage laccase-assisted delignification process led to significant lignin removal in the non-pressurized treatments. It is clearly shown that an alkaline extraction prior to the second laccase treatment significantly increased the overall delignification by ∼15%. This is in line with the contention that the residual lignin has undergone structural changes during the alkaline extraction, and the resulting modified structures are susceptible to the laccase oxidation. In phenolic hydroxyl group, the pre- methylated sample was very responsive to the delignification process. The phenolic hydroxyl groups could be increased during side chain cleavage catalyzed by laccase. This finding demonstrates that the delignification oi etherified structures is an important reaction in the delignificaton by laccase.

Partial mesophase (PM) pitch precursor was prepared from fluidized catalytic cracking-decant oils (FCC-DO) by chemical reaction in the presence of $Br_2$. The PM pitch heated-treatment at $420^{\circ}C$ for 9 h exhibited the softening point of $297^{\circ}C$ with 23% yield, and 55% anisotropic content. The PM pitch precursor was melt-spun through circular nozzle by pressurized $N_2$, stabilized at $310^{\circ}C$, carbonized at $700^{\circ}C$, $1000^{\circ}C$, and $1200^{\circ}C$. The enough stabilization introduced 16.4% of the oxygen approximately. The stacking height ($L_{c002}$) and interlayer spacing ($d_{002}$) of the as-spun fibers were 4.58 nm and $3.45{\AA}$ and the value became minimum and maximum at $700^{\circ}C$ respectively in the carbonization procedure. The tensile strength increased with an increase in the heat treatment temperature exhibiting highest value of 750 MPa at $1200^{\circ}C$ carbonization.

In the recycle process of organic solvent, the atmospheric oxygen can cause autoxidation and product peroxide. The time-saving method to evaluate the hazards has been required. In this study, oxygen pressure monitoring experiment was proposed as a new method to evaluate autoxidative resistances of solvents. Some of organic solvents were pressurized by oxygen and kept under isothermal condition. At the same time, the pressure in the vessel tracked. Iodometrical titration, thermal analysis and spectroscopic analysis were performed to measure peroxide concentration, the heat of reaction and chemical bonding change. From the results that THF has larger oxygen consumption rate than CPME, it is considered that autoxidative resistance of THF is lower than that of CPME. This method enables to obtain results in shorter time than other methods. These experimental results were consistent with the previous research with longer test durations [1-2].

Unlike a typical metal spring, a gas spring uses compressed gas contained in a cylinder and compressed by a piston to exert a force. A common application includes automobiles where gas spring are incorporated into the design of open struts that support the weight of tail gate. They are also used in furniture such as office chairs, and in medical and aerospace applications. The gas spring works by the application of pressurized gas (nitrogen) contained in a cylinder. The internal pressure of the gas spring greatly exceeds atmospheric pressure. This differential in pressure exists at any rod position and generates an outward force on the rod, making the gas spring extend. In this paper, we investigated the dynamic characteristics of a gas spring on an automotive tail gate system.
