실내모형실험으로 전기비저항치와 오염된 흙의 물리적 성질과의 상관관계를 규명하기 위해서 요소분석을 수행하였다. 세가지의 모래질 구에 산업폐기물매립지의 침출수를 첨가하여 모형실험에 이용했다. 혼합토의 전기비저항치는 비저항콘을 모사한 프로브를 제작하여 측정했다. 실내모형실험에서는 흙의 함수비, 간극비. 단위중량, 함수비 및 침출수의 농도를 변화시키면서 혼합토의 전기비 저항치를 계측했다. 실험결과는 흙의 종류 및 단위중량보다는 흙의 함수비, 간극수의 전도성이 전기비저항치에 큰 영향를 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Simulated waste-derived synthesis gas has been tested for hydrogen production through water-gas shift (WGS) reaction over supported Cu catalysts prepared by co-precipitation method. $CeO_2$, $ZrO_2$, MgO, and $Al_2O_3$ were employed as supports for WGS reaction in this study. $Cu-CeO_2$ catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity as well as 100% $CO_2$ selectivity for WGS in severe conditions ($GHSV=40,206h^{-1}$ and CO concentration = 38.0%). In addition, $Cu-CeO_2$ catalyst showed stable CO conversion for 20h without detectable catalyst deactivation. The high activity and stability of $Cu-CeO_2$ catalyst are correlated to its easier reducibility, high oxygen mobility/storage capacity of $CeO_2$.

이 연구에서는 원전해체 폐콘크리트 미분말을 방사성 폐기물 처분용 고화제로 재활용하기 위한 인수기준 성능 및 레올로지 특성을 분석하였다. 고화제는 방사성 콘크리트 미분말을 모사하여 사용하였으며, 시험체는 증류수, CoCl₂, CsCl 1 mol 수용액을 배합수로 사용하여 제작하였다. 골재 미분말 혼입율 및 혼합수의 종류에 관계없이 재령 28일 압축강도 성능기준 3.45 MPa를 만족하였다. 모든 시험체는 침수강도 기준을 만족하였고 열순환 압축강도는 Plain-50을 제외한 모든 시험체에 대하여 인수기준을 만족하였다. 고화제의 레올로지 특성을 평가한 결과, 골재 혼입율이 증가할수록 항복응력과 소성점도가 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 모든 시험체의 코발트와 세슘에 대한 침출지수는 6 이상으로 인수기준을 만족하였다. 방사성 폐기물 처분용 고화제의 안정적인 성능을 확보하기 위해서는 고화제 내의 골재 성분은 40 % 이하로 사용하는 것이 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.

Suitability of aluminium-based water treatment sludge (WTS), a waste product from water treatment facilities, was assessed for removal of heavy metals from an electroplating wastewater which had high concentrations of copper and chromium along with other heavy metals. Batch tests with simulated wastewater in single- and multi-metal solutions indicated the influence of initial pH and WTS dose on removal of six metals namely Cu(II), Co(II), Cr(VI), Hg(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II). In general, removal of cationic metals such as Pb(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) increased with increase in pH while that of anionic Cr(VI) showed a reduction with increased pH values. Tests with multi-metal solution showed that the influence of competition was more pronounced at lower WTS dosages. Column test with diluted (100 times) real electroplating wastewater showed complete removal of copper up to 100 bed volumes while chromium removal ranged between 78-92%. Other metals which were present in lower concentrations were also effectively removed. Mass balance for copper and chromium showed that the WTS media had Cu(II) and Cr(VI) sorption capacities of about 1.7 and 3.5 mg/g of dried sludge, respectively. The study thus indicates that WTS has the potential to be used as a filtration/adsorption medium for removal of metals from metal-bearing wastewaters.

Excessive phosphorus (P as orthophosphate) is one of the major pollutants in natural water that are responsible for algal blooms and eutrophication. P removal by slag is an attractive solution if the P sorption capacity of the slag is significant. To design an efficient land treatment facility, basic information on the behaviour of P in the media-water environment is required. In this study, detailed column experiments were conducted to study the P transport under dynamic condition, and mathematical models were developed to describe this process. The column experiments conducted with dust and cake waste products (slag) from BHP steel industry in Australia as adsorbing media indicated that they had higher sorption capacity of P than that of a sandy loam soil from North Sydney, Australia. P transport in the dust and cake columns exhibited characteristics S-shaped or curvilinear breakthrough curves. The simulated results from a dynamic physical non-equilibrium sorption model (DPNSM) and Freundlich isotherm constants satisfactorily matched the corresponding experimental breakthrough data. The mobility of P is restricted proportionally to the adsorbent's sorption capacity.

Copper is used in various applications in environments favoring and enabling formation of biofilms by naturally occurring microbes. Copper is also the chosen corrosion barrier for nuclear waste in Finland. The copper canisters should have lifetimes of 100,000 years. Copper is commonly considered to be resistant to corrosion in oxygen-free water. This is an important argument for using copper as a corrosion protection in the planned canisters for spent nuclear-fuel encapsulation. However, microbial biofilm formation on metal surfaces can increase corrosion in various conditions and provide conditions where corrosion would not otherwise occur. Microbes can alter pH and redox potential, excrete corrosion-inducing metabolites, directly or indirectly reduce or oxidize the corrosion products, and form biofilms that create corrosive microenvironments. Microbial metabolites are known to initiate, facilitate, or accelerate general or localized corrosion, galvanic corrosion, and intergranular corrosion, as well as enable stress-corrosion cracking. Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are present in the repository environment. Sulfide is known to be a corrosive agent for copper. Here we show results from corrosion of copper in anoxic simulated ground water in the presence of SRB enriched from the planned disposal site.

한국원자력연구원에서는 사용후핵연료를 직접 처분하는 대신 이를 처리하여 발생하는 방사성 폐기물을 심지층에 직접 처분하는 방식의 A-KRS 개념의 방사성폐기물 처분 시스템을 개발해 오고 있다. 이러한 A-KRS 개념에 대한 장기적 안전성 및 처분 시스템 성능 평가를 위한 모델을 GoldSim을 이용 개발하고 이를 지속적으로 수정 보완하고 개선해 오고 있다. KAERI에서 개발된 A-KRS 모델의 신뢰도를 증진 시키기 위하여 유사하게 개발된 다른 모델과의 벤치마킹을 통한 비교 연구의 결과를 제시하였다. A-KRS모델을 미국 NRC에서 SwRI 연구소의 협력을 통하여 개발하여 처분 시스템 성능평가에 활용한 SOAR와 비교하고 병행하여 스웨덴의 SKB에서 최근 수행한 SR-SiTE 안전성 평가를 통하여 KBS-3 개념의 처분 시스템 내 전단 응력에 따른 용기의 파손에 따른 유출 계산 결과와도 비교 검토하여, 전반적으로 상호 잘 일치하는 결과를 얻어 내었다. 보다 개선된 GoldSim으로의 모델의 이행의 필요성은 있으나 A-KRS 모델이 GoldSim을 통해 잘 이행되어 처분 시스템 안전성 평가에 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 단열을 포함하는 불포화 암반에서의 지하수 유동 흐름을 예측하기 위한 2차원 수치 모델링을 수행하였다. 특히, 불연속 단열망 모델링(Dscrete Fractured Network, DFN)을 통하여 도출된 투수계수의 분포를 나타내는 k-field를 모델링 입력변수로 적용하였다. 투수계수 차이는 불포화대에서 지하수의 이동속도 차이를 야기시키는 중요한 인자로 적용되었다. 연구지역의 지표 토양층으로부터 지하 대수층까지의 불포화대 깊이를 적용하여 지하수 유동 모델링의 초기조건을 실제와 유사하게 설정하였다. 강우의 지표 침투율은 인공구조물과 자연 토양층의 침투율 차이를 적용하여 실제 불포화 암반을 거쳐서 포화대까지 지하수의 이동흐름을 해석하고 시각화하였다. 특히, 오염물질의 이동 시작점이 될 수 있는 인공구조물의 하부에 모니터링 지점을 설정하여 실제 오염물질원이 지하수에 용해되어 불포화대를 이동할 때의 경로를 예측 하였으며 중력방향인 직하부로 이동하는 것을 확인되었다.

In this study, the simulation for performance comparison between basic single stage organic rankine cycle, multi stage reheater cycle and multi stage reheater & recuperator cycle was carried out. The multi stage reheater cycle and multi stage reheater & recuperator cycle was designed to improve the efficiency for organic rankine cycle using heat source from industrial waste heat and heat sink from deep ocean water. R245fa was selected as a refrigerant for the cycle and system efficiencies were simulated by the variation of the heat sink temperature and the cycle classification. Performance characteristics were simulated by using the Aspen HYSYS. It was confirmed that the system efficiency was decreased by the increase of heat sink temperature. These results can be considered to be applied as geo-ocean thermal energy conversion in where plenty of geothermal or ocean thermal resource exist.

Concerns for energy conservation, environmental pollution, and the fact that organic wastes account for a major portion of our waste materials, have created the interest of biogas, which usually contains about 60 to 70 percent methane, 30 to 40 percent carbon dioxide, and other gases, including ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans and other noxious gases. Cyclone combustors are used for homing a wide range of fuels such as low calorific value gas, waste water, sludge. coal, etc. The 3-dimensional swirling flow, combustion and emission in a tangential inlet cyclone incinerator under different inlet conditions are simulated using a standard k-s turbulence model and ESCRS (Extended Simple Chemically-Reacting System) model. The commercial code Phoenics Ver.3.4 was used for the present work. The main parameters considered in this work are inlet velocity and air to fuel ratio. The results showed that the change of operating conditions had an influence on the shape and size of recirculation zones, mixture fraction and axial velocity which are important factors for combustion efficiency and emission behavior. The application of this kind of computer program seams to be promising as a potential tool for the optimum design of a cyclone combustor with low emission.
