The mutual separation behavior of actinides and rare earths in a countercurrent multistage reductive extraction system was predicted by computer calculation. The distribution information for actinides and rare earths in the reductive extraction systems of LiCl-KCl/Cd and LiCl-KCl/Bi was collected from literature and then it was used for the calculation of a multistage extraction. The results of the concentration profiles throughout the extraction cascade, recovery yields of various metal solutes, and separation factors between the actinides and rare earths were calculated. The effects of the major process parameters, such as reducing agent content in the metal phase, number of stages, and salt/metal flow ratio, etc., on the extraction behavior were also examined.

환원추출 공정은 소멸처리로의 연료를 제조하는 과정에서 전해분리된 TRU 성분을 추가로 정제하기 위해 이용된다. 본 연구에서는 용융염과 Bi 금속사이의 환원추출되는 과정에 대하여 조사하였다. TRU의 대체연구물인 지르코늄과 희토류 원소들이 용질로 이용되었으며, 환원제인 Li은 Bi와 미리 합금을 만들어 사용하였다. 모든 실험은 아르곤 가스가 채워진 글로브박스내에서 수행되었으며, 분석을 위해 ICP, XRD 및 EPMA 등이 이용되었다 Li 투입 후 3시간 이내에 환원추출 반응이 평형에 도달하였다. 세가지 용융염 시스템의 비교실험에서 3가지 용융염 시스템 모두에서 지르코늄이 희토류 원소들로부터 잘 분리되었다.

It was studied on the reductive extraction between the eutectic salt and Bi metal phases. The solutes were zirconium and the rare earth elements, where zirconium was used as the surrogate for the transuranic(TRU) elements. All the experiments were performed in a glove box filled with argon gas. Two types of experimental conditions were used -high and low initial solute concentrations in salt. Li-Bi alloy was used as a reducing agent to reduce the high chemical activity of Li. The reductive extraction characteristics were examined using ICP, XRD and EPMA analysis. Zirconium was successfully separated from the rare earth elements by the reductive extraction method. The LiF-NaF-KF system was favorable among the fluoride salt systems, whereas the LiCl-KCl system was favorable among the chloride salt systems. When the solute concentrations were high, intermetallic compounds were found near the salt-metal interface.

Solvent extraction of Fe(III) from chloride solution by using a mixture of D2EHPA (Di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phosphoric acid) and TBP (Tri-butyl phosphate) and the reductive stripping of Fe(III) from the loaded organic were investigated. Quantitative extraction of Fe(III) from the solution (Fe concentration = 90 g/L) was accomplished in two cross-current extraction stages by using the mixture of D2EHPA and TBP. In order to facilitate the stripping efficiency, a reductive stripping method was employed by using $H_2SO_3$ or $Na_2SO_3$ as a reducing agent. The addition of $H_2SO_4$ into reducing agents led to improvement in the stripping efficiency while high concentration acid would suppress it. Both of the mixtures of $H_2SO_4+H_2SO_3$ and $H_2SO_4+Na_2SO_3$ showed good efficiency for the stripping of Fe(III), while the latter was recommended as the stripping solution based on the economics and experimental condition.

본 연구에서는 다성분의 모의 HLW 용액으로부터 $(TBP-TOA)/NDD-HNO_3$ 혼합추출 계에 의한 Tc, Np, U의 공분리 및 이의 순차 분리 적용 가능성을 평가하였다. 우선 제 3상 방지 및 TBP, TOA,질산 농도 등이 Tc, Np, U의 공분리에 미치는 영향 등을 고려하여 최적 조건으로 (30% TBP-0.5% TOA)/NDD-1M $HNO_3$ 계를 선정하였다. 이때 추출율은 Tc (81%), Np (85%), U (93%), Am/RE 원소 (9% 이하) Pd (약 8%), 기타 원소 (5% 이하)로 Tc, Np 및 U의 공분리는 매우 우수하였으나, 조업 측면에서 Zr의 선 제거 (약 99 % 이상)가 요구되었다. 그리고 공추출된 Tc, Np 및 U을 Tc (역추출제 : 5 M $HNO_3$)${\rightarrow}Np$ 환원 (역추출제 : 0.1 M AHA)${\rightarrow}U$ (역추출제 : 0.01 M $HNO_3$)의 순으로 순차 분리하여 각각의 분리계수를 평가하였으며, 이때 Tc은 95%, Np은 98%, U은 99%를 회수할 수 있었다.

30 % TBP/NDD-2 M $HNO_3$ (0.005 M $K_2Cr_2O_7$ 함유) 계에 의해 산화 추출된 Np의 유기상을 대상으로 n-butyraldehyde (NBA)에 의한 Np의 환원 역추출을 고찰하였다. Np의 역추출은 NBA의 농도 증가에 따라, 역추출 수용상 내 질산농도 감소에 따라, 그리고 반응 온도 감소에 따라 증가하였으며, 이때 겉보기 환원 역추출 속도식은 $-d[Np]_{Org.}/dt$ =1,524 exp(-2,906/T) $[NBA]^{0.91}\;[H^+]^{-0.92}[Np]_{Org.}$. 이었다. 1.04M NBA 및 2M $HNO_3$에서 Np 및 U의 역추출률은 각각 70.1 % 및 7.1 % 이며 이때 분리계수(($=D_U/D_{Np}$)는 30.4 정도로, TBP-$HNO_3$ 계에 의해 공추출된 Np과 U은 NBA에 의해 효과적으로 상호 분리할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and anticholinesterase activities of yellow and white bitter yams from South Western Nigeria using methanolic extraction and simulated gastrointestinal digestion models. The phenolic compounds in the bitter yam varieties were evaluated by high performance liquid chromatography with a diode array detector (HPLC-DAD). The total phenolic content of the bitter yams was measured by the Folin-Ciocalteu method, reductive potential by assessing the ability of the bitter yam to reduce $FeCl_3$ solution, and the antioxidant activities were determined by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical ($DPPH^{\cdot}$) scavenging activity, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical cation ($ABTS^{{\cdot}+}$) scavenging activity, nitric oxide radical ($NO^{\cdot}$) scavenging ability, hydroxyl radical scavenging ability, and ability to inhibit $Fe^{2+}$-induced lipid oxidation. The HPLC-DAD analysis revealed the presence of some phenolic compounds in the studied bitter yam varieties, with varying degree of quantitative changes after cooking. The antioxidant indices (total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, reducing power, $DPPH^{\cdot}$ scavenging activity, $ABTS^{{\cdot}+}$ scavenging activity, and $NO^{\cdot}$ scavenging activity) were higher in the simulated gastrointestinal digestion model compared to the methanolic extract, with the in vitro digested cooked white bitter yam ranking higher. Similarly, the in vitro digested yams had a higher inhibitory action against lipid oxidation compared to the methanolic extracts, with the cooked white bitter yam ranking high. The methanolic extracts and in vitro enzyme digests showed no acetylcholinesterase inhibitory abilities, while methanolic extracts and the in vitro enzyme digest displayed some level of butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory activities. Therefore the studied bitter yams could be considered as possible health supplements.

폐리튬이온전지의 재활용 일환으로 양극활물질인 $LiCoO_2$로부터 Co와 Li을 회수하기 위하여 황산침출거동을 조사하였다. 황산 2M용액, $75^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 환원제를 첨가하지 않은 경우, $LiCoO_2$로부터 Li가 거의 100% 침출되는 반면에 Co는 같은 조건에서 40% 이하의 침출율을 보였다. Co의 침출율을 향상시키기 위하여 과산화수소를 환원제로 2~20 vol%범위에서 사용하였다 10 vol% 이상의 과산화수소를 첨가하였을 때, Co와 L거 침출율은 모두 95% 이상 이었다. 이는 환원제로서 과산화수소가 Co(III)를 Co(II)로 환원시켜 침출이 용이해졌기 때문으로 생각된다. 황산농도, 온도, 과산화수소 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 Co와 L리 침출율은 증가한 반면에 초기 광액농도가 증가할수록 Co와 L긴 침출율은 감소하였다. 이상의 조업변수 실험을 통하여 코발트계 리튬이온전지의 양극활물질인 $LiCoO_2$의 황산침출에서 황산농도 2 M, 침출온도 $75^{\circ}C$,초기광액농도 100 g/L, 과산화수소 첨가량 20 vol%에서 30분의반응시간이 침출 최적조건으로 생각된다.

Li-Cd 합금을 이용한 환원추출방식을 LiCl-KCl 기반의 drawdown 공정에 적용하게 되면, LiCl-KCl 공융염의 조성이 파괴되므로 공정온도를 높여야 하며, 전해정련 및 전해제련과 같은 공정에 LiCl-KCl 용융염을 재사용할 수 없게 된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 공융염 조성에 적합한 Li-K-Cd 합금을 제조하였으며, 이를 이용하여 U와 Nd가 포함된 LiCl-KCl 염에 투입하여 용융염 내 $UCl_3$의 제거가 가능한지 평가하였다.

Most, if not all, Basidiomycetes mushrooms have biologically active polysaccharides showing potent antitumor activity with immunomodulating properties. These polysaccharides have various chemical compositions and belong primarily to the $\beta$-glucan group. In this study, the crude water-soluble polysaccharide HEF-P, which was obtained from the fruiting body of Hericium erinaceus by hot water extraction and ethanol precipitation, was fractionated by DEAE-cellulose and Sepharose CL-6B column chromatographies. This process resulted in four polysaccharide fractions, named HEF-NP Fr I, HEF-NP Fr II, HEF-AP Fr I, and HEF-AP Fr II. Of these fractions, HEF-AP Fr II was able to upregulate the functional events mediated by activated macrophages, such as production of nitric oxide and expression ofcytokines (IL-1${\beta}$ and TNF-${\alpha}$). The molecular mass of HEF-AP Fr II was estimated by gel filtration to be 13 kDa. Its structural characteristics were investigated by a combination of chemical and instrumental analyses, including methylation, reductive cleavage, acetylation, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Results indicate that HEF-AP Fr II is a low-molecular-mass polysaccharide with a laminarin-like triple helix conformation of a ${\beta}$-1,3-branched-${\beta}$-1,6-glucan.
