The ion exchange resins have been synthesized from chloromethyl styrene (dangerous matter) 1, 4-divinylbenzene(DVB) with 1%, 5%, and 15%-crosslinked and macrocyclic ligand of cryptand type by copolymerization method and the adsorption of uranium(VI), cobalt(II) and europium(III) ions have been investigated in various experimental conditions. The correlation between the adsorption characteristics of rare earths and transition metal on the resins and stability constants of complexes with macrocyclic ligand have been examined. The uranium ion was not adsorbed on the resins below pH 2.0, but the power of adsorption of uranium ion increased rapidly above pH 3.0. The adsorption power was in the order of 1%, 5% and 15%-crosslinked resin, but adsorptive characteristics of resins decreased in proportion to the order of dielectric constants of solvents.

The 1st International Conference on Magnetic Refrigeration at Room Temperature was held at Montreux, Switzerland during September 27-30, 2005. The conference was the first of its kind to bring together about 140 scientists and engineers interested in magnetic refrigeration in one place. The magnetocaloric effect was discovered in 1881, however, magnetic refrigeration at room temperature was demonstrated to be viable in 1997 Since then, R&D efforts toward magnetic refrigeration have been on the rise around the world, in both areas of systems and materials. The conference reflected the recent R&D trend in magnetic refrigeration at room temperature, which includes the use of permanent magnet instead of superconductor magnet, switch from reciprocating to rotary magnetic refrigeration system, development of magnetic materials based on transition metal elements besides rare earth materials such as gadolinium(Gd).

Adsorption behavior of counterions under a Langmuir monolayer was investigated by sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy. By comparing SFG spectra of arachidic acid (AA) Langmuir monolayer/water interface with and without added salt, it was found that the simple trivalent cation $La^{3+}$ adsorbed on AA monolayer only when the carboxylic headgroups are charged (deprotonated), implying that counterion adsorption is induced by Coulomb interaction. On the other hand, metal hydroxide complex $Fe(OH)_3$ adsorbed even on a charge-neutral AA monolayer, indicating that the adsorption of iron hydroxide is due to chemical interaction such as covalent or hydrogen bonding to the headgroup of the molecules at the monolayer.

Purpose: For aesthetic reasons, composite resin brackets are widely used. However, related studies are rare. This pilot study sought to compare the stress distributions in two commercially available composite resin brackets with metal slot. Materials and Methods: Two commercially available resin brackets -- full-metal slot resin bracket (fSRB) and partial-metal slot resin bracket (pSRB) with straight wire appliance dimension of $0.022{\times}0.028$ in -- were selected. In each bracket, 3-dimensional finite element models were constructed, and stress level was evaluated using finite element analysis. By loading the tipping force and torsion moment, which are similar to those applied by the stainless steel rectangular wire ($0.019{\times}0.025$ -in), stress distributions were calculated, and von Mises stress values were obtained. Results: In pSRB and fSRB, the stress value of the torque moment was much higher than that of the tipping force. The pSRB showed higher stress value than fSRB in both tipping force and torque moment because of the difference in size and configuration of the metal frame inserted into the slot. More stress was also found to be concentrated on the slot area than the wing area in fSRB. Conclusion: The slot form of fSRB was found to be more resistant to the stress of tipping and torque than the slot form of pSRB. In addition, the slot areas -- rather than the wing areas -- of the bracket showed breakage susceptibility. Therefore, resistance to the torque moment on the slot area should be considered in bracket design.

Some RE (Zr, Nb, REE) ore deposits are located in the middle part of the Korean peninsula. Geotectonically, the RE ore deposits situated on the Kyemyeongsan Formation of northern margin of the Okcheon geosynclinal belt and in the transitional zone between Kyeonggi massif and Okcheon belt. The rare metal deposits distributed in Kyemyeongsan Formation which consists of schist and alkaline granite. The alkali granite has suffered extensive post-magmatic metasomatism and hydrothermal processes. The ore contains mainly Ce-La, Ta-Nb, Y, Y-Nb, Ti-Nb-(U), Nd-Th group minerals. Fergusonite, one of Nb-Y rich REE minerals belonging to the A-B oxides, is most common mineral in the rare metal deposits. The fergusonite bearing rocks may be devided into four types by occurrence features and mineral association, that is, zircon type, allanite vein, feldspar type, and fluorite type. Fergusonites show wide variations in optical properties, due to part of differences in their chemical composition (depending on the types), but also the degree of crystalinity of the individual specimens. Fergusonite metamicts enclosed in biotite are generally surrounded by well developed pleochroic haloes. Usually, fergusonite is accompanied with zircon and other REE-bearing minerals. Petrographical and chemical data are presented for fergusonites which collected different types. $Nb_2O_3$ and $Y_2O_3$ contents range from 48.51 to 53.01 wt.% and 29.18 to 42.02 wt.% respectively. Also, $ThO_2$, (1.83~6.93), $UO_2$, (0.17~2.84), ${\sum}RE_2O_3$ (except to Y) (1.11~8.73), and $TiO_2$, (0.19~1.19 wt.%) contents show variational compositions according to fergusonite types. The ${\sum}RE_2O_3$ of fergusonites are positive relation with $Y_2O_3$ and negative relaton with $ThO_2$ and $({\sum}{RE_2O_3}-{Y_2O_3})$. The $Nb_2O_3$ is sightly negative relation with $Ta_2O_3$. Back-scattered electron microscope images (BEI) of fergusonite show the mineral composition and textural feature is very complicated. The variation of Nb, Th and REE content of fergusonite and the modes of occurrence of mineral, suggests that REE may have been mobilized during the circulation of hydrothermal fluids related to contact metamorphism (metasomatism). The chemical variation of the fergusonites with occurrences and mineral association can be related to metasomatism of alkaline fluid was probably the dominant ore-forming process in Chungju district.

In order to improve the hydrogen storage capacity and the activation properties of the hydrogen storage alloys, the rare-earth metal alloy series, MmN $i_{4.5}$M $n_{0.5}$Z $r_{x}$(x=0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1), are prepared by adding excess Zr in MmN $i_{4.5}$M $n_{0.5}$ alloy. The various parts in hydrogen storage vessel consisted of copper pipes reached the setting temperature within 4~5 minutes after heat addition, which indicated that storage vessel had a good heat conductivity required in application. The performance test on storage vessel filled with rare-earth metal alloys of 1000 gr was also conducted after hydrogen charging for 10 min at $18^{\circ}C$ under 10 atm. It showed that the average capacity of discharged hydrogen volume was found to be for $MmNi_{4.5}$ $Mn_{0.5}$ and $MmNi_{4.5}$ $Mn_{x}$ 0.5/$Zr_{samples}$ indicated that the released amount of hydrogen for this $AB_{5}$ type alloys was more than 92 % of theoretic value, and also it was found that the optimum discharging temperature for obtaining an appropriate pressure of 3 atm was determined to be $V^{\circ}C$ for $MmNi_{4.5}$ $Mn_{0.5}$$Zr_{x}$(x=0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1) hydrogen storage alloys. The released amount of these hydrogen storage samples was 125 $\ell$ , 122.4 $\ell$ and 108.15 $\ell$/kg for $MmNi_{4.5}$ $Mn_{0.5}$ $Zr_{0.025}$ $MmNi_{4.5}$M $n_{0.5}$Z $r_{0.05}$, and MmN $i_{4.5}$ Mn_0.5$Zr_{0}$, at $70^{\circ}C$ respectively. Amount of the 2nd phases increase with increase on Zr contents in $MmNi_{4.5}$$Mn_{0.5}$ $Zr_{ 0.1}$/ alloy. This phenomenon indicates that$ ZrNi_3$ in $MmNi_{4.5}$ $Mn_{0.5}$ $Zr_{x}$ / phase, which shows the maximum storage capacity and the strong resistance to intrinsic degradation, is considered as a proper alloy for hydrogen storage. As the Zr contents increase, the activation time and the plateau pressure decreases and sloping of the plateau pressure increases.creases.eases.s.

사용후핵연료을 건식처리하는 파이로프로세싱 중 전해정련 및 제련공정 후 발생되는 우라늄과 초우라늄 및 희토류 등의 염화물을 함유한 LiCl-KCl 공융염에는 특히 희토류 함량이 높기 때문에 유효자원으로 활용이 가능한 형태의 우라늄과 초우라늄의 분리/회수가 쉽지 않다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 $LiCl-KCl-UCl_3-NdCl_3$ 시스템에서 산화제($K_2CO_3$)를 이용하여 $UCl_3$를 산화물 형태로 전환한 후 전기화학적 방법을 이용하여 $NdCl_3$를 금속형태로 분리하는 실험을 실시하였다. 실험에 앞서, 이론적 평형계산을 수행하여 우라늄 염화물을 산화물로 전환하기 위한 실험조건을 결정하였다. 상기의 실험에서 LiCl-KCl 내 $UCl_3$는 첨가제의 주입량이 이론적 반응당량에 근접하였을 때 거의 대부분이 염내에서 염화물 형태로 존재하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이후 액체금속음극을 이용하여 $NdCl_3$를 금속형태로 전착시켰으며, 전착실험 후 투명한 용융상의 LiCl-KCl 공융염과 갈색의 우라늄 산화침전물이 존재함이 확인되었다. 이러한 결과들을 통해 $LiCl-KCl-UCl_3-NdCl_3$ 시스템에서 우라늄 및 희토류를 각각 분리할 수 있는 방안을 수립할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

폐리튬이온전지를 고온에서 용융환원하면 금속혼합물, 슬라그와 리튬(I)을 함유한 분진이 발생한다. 분진의 침출 합성액을 이용하여 Li₂CO₃ 석출실험을 수행했다. 석출제의 종류와 비수용액의 첨가가 석출에 미치는 영향을 조사했다. (NH₄)₂CO₃에서 해리된 암모늄과 탄산이온의 수화반응으로 인해 Na₂CO₃가 석출제로서 효과가 우수했다. 또한 용액에 아세톤이나 에탄올을 첨가하면 리튬(I)의 석출률이 증가했다. 특히 (NH₄)₂CO₃을 석출제로 첨가한 조건에서 용액의 pH가 12까지 증가함에 따라 리튬(I)의 석출률도 증가했다. 동일한 석출조건에서 Na₂CO₃에 의한 리튬(I)의 석출률이 (NH₄)₂CO₃보다 더 높았다.
