Porous alginate-based hydrogel beads (porous ABH) have been prepared through a facile and sustainable template-assisted method using nano-calcium carbonate and nano-$CaCO_3$ as pore-directing agent for the efficient capture of methylene blue (MB). The materials were characterized by various techniques. The sorption capacities of ABH towards MB were compared with pure sodium alginate (ABH-1:0) in batch and fixed-bed column adsorption studies. The obtained adsorbent (ABH-1:3) has a higher BET surface area and a smaller average pore diameter. The maximum adsorption capacity of ABH-1:3 obtained from Langmuir model was as high as $1,426.0mg\;g^{-1}$. The kinetics strictly followed pseudo-second order rate equation and the adsorption reaction was effectively facilitated, approximately 50 minutes to achieve adsorption equilibrium, which was significantly shorter than that of ABH-1:0. The thermodynamic parameters revealed that the adsorption was spontaneous and exothermic. Thomas model fitted well with the breakthrough curves and could describe the dynamic behavior of the column. More significantly, the uptake capacity of ABH-1:3 was still higher than 75% of the maximum adsorption capacity even after ten cycles, indicating that this novel adsorbent can be a promising adsorptive material for removal of MB from aqueous solution under batch and continuous systems.

가압 경수로의 주요 기기에서 발생할 수 있는 과도 2상 유동(Two-phase flow) 현상에 대한 해석을 수행하기 위해 원자로 기기 열수력 해석 코드를 개발 중에 있다. 개발 중인 기기 열수력 해석 코드는 지배 방정식으로 Two-phase, three-field model을 사용하고 있으며, 복잡한 기하학적 형상의 원자로 기기를 모사하기 위해 비정렬 격자계(Unstructured grid)를 활용하고 있다. 수치해석 기법으로는, 원자로 계통 해석코드 RELAP5가 사용 중이며 대부분의 원자로 내 2상 유동 조건에서 안정적이며 정확하다고 알려진 Semi-implicit 방법을 적용하였다. 그러나 기존의 Semi-implicit 방법은 1차원, 엇갈림격자(Staggered grid)에 대해 개발되었기 때문에, 이를 다차원, 비정렬, 비엇갈림 격자(Non-staggered grid)에 적용하기 위해 기존의 Semi-implicit 방법을 수정하였다. 본 논문에서는 Semi-implicit 방법의 대류항을 이차정확도를 갖도록 확장하였으며, 이차정확도에 의한 수치확산의 감소를 평가하기 위해 수행된 수치시험의 결과를 기술하였다. 이차정확도 및 일차정확도로 계산된 값을 해석해 또는 격자 수렴성 시험을 통해 평가해 본 결과, 이차정확도 계산시 수치 확산의 감소 확인하였다.

고온 용융염 전해환원 공정은 후행핵연료 주기의 대안 공정인 파이로공정의 산화물 사용후핵연료의 확대를 위해 필수적인 공정이다. 사용후핵연료는 다성분 산화물로 이루어져 있으며 각 산화물은 전해환원 공정에서 화학적 특성에 따라 산소를 잃게 된다. 본 연구에서는 건식분말화 공정 이후 전해환원 반응기에 도입되는 사용후핵연료 조성을 기준으로 각 금속-산소 시스템을 독립적인 이상고용체로 가정하여 전해환원 반응거동을 계산하였다. 전해환원을 Li의 환원과 이어지는 Li과의 화학반응의 결합으로 산정하여 U을 비롯한 금속 환원 거동을 계산하였다. 계산결과 대부분의 산화물들은 전해환원 공정에 의해 금속으로 전환되는 것으로 예상되었다. 란타나이드 원소들의 경우 $Li_2O$의 농도가 낮아지면 금속 전환율이 높아지나 대부분 산화물로 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 추가적으로 $U_3O_8$의 전해환원 거동에 대해 Li의 확산과 Li과의 화학반응을 고려하여 반실험적 모델이 제시되었다. 실험데이터를 활용하여 매개변수를 결정하였으며 시간에 대한 환원율 및 전류에 대한 99.9% 환원 시간을 계산하였다.

Salt occlusion in Zeolite is a unique phenomenon that takes place only when the salt size is similar to the window size of host zeolite. $KCIO_3$-occluded Zeolite, as an environment-friendly oxidant, has a high potential for effective removal of various organic pollutants. This study was carried to investigate the characteristics and the removal kinetics of fungicide chlorothalonil by zeolite-$KCIO_3$ complex. About 10% of $KCIO_3$ was occluded in zeolite pores synthesized by salt-thermal method from fly ash, although the occlusion amount was relatively less compared to that of nitrate salts. By occlusion with $KCIO_3$, no remarkable changes were found in X-ray diffraction patterns of cancrinite, whereas some decrease of overall peak intensities was found with those of sodalite. Different releasing kinetics of $CIO_3^-$ ion were observed in distilled water and soil solution from zeolite-$KCIO_3$ complex. Two reactions, hydration and diffusion, seem to be related with the release of $KCIO_3$. Therefore, the release isotherm of $CIO_3^-$ ion well fitted to the power function model which indicate the release was made by hydration and diffusion. The removal of chlorothalonil by zeolite and $KCIO_3$ reached at reaction equilibrium within 6 hours by 18% and 47% respectively. However, the chlorothalonil removal by the zeolite-$KCIO_3$ complex increased slowly and steadily up to 92% in 96 hours. These findings suggested that zeolite-$KCIO_3$ complex could be applied for effective removal of organic contaminants in the soil and aqueous environment.

본 연구는 시멘트 모르타르속에 매입된 철근주위가 건조될 때 불안정한 전류분포의 영향을 측정하고, 교류 임피던스 특성변화에 대한 영향을 고찰하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 건조과정중 철근의 전기화학적 반응을 측정하기 위해, 두 개의 철근이 매입된 3개의 시멘트 모르타르가 실험을 위해 준비되었다. 주요 변수는 20mm 모르타르 두께를 동일하게 가지도록 하여, 두 철근사이의 간격이 10, 20과 30mm가 되도록 하였다. 해양환경에서 콘크리트 구조물속의 철근 부식속도를 가정하기 위해서, 3개의 모르타르 시험체는 15 사이클의 침지-건조환경(해수에서 24시간 침지와 48시간 실온 건조)에 노출되었다. 부식전위의 변화는 건조중에 용존산소의 확산속도 증가로 인해 귀한 방향으로 이동하는 것이 관찰되었다. 침지-건조환경에서 교류 임피던스는 100kHz에서 1mHz까지 측정되었다. 철근과 모르타르사이의 계면상태를 설명하기 위해 이론적 모델이 제안되었으며, 그것은 용액저항, 전하이동저항과 CPE로 구성된 등가회로를 사용하였다. 철근의 부식이 진행됨에 따라, 저주파수 영역에서 확산 임피던스가 나타났다. 침지-건조 환경중 건조과정에서 이송차가 $45^{\circ}$에 가까워지는 현상으로써 전류분포가 불균일해지는 경향을 보였다.

The analysis of rapid flow transients in Reactor Coolant Pumps (RCP) is essential for a reactor safety study. An accurate and precise analysis of the RCP coastdown is necessary for the reactor design. The coastdown of RCP affects the coolant temperature and the colloidal crud in the primary coolant. A realistic and kinetic model has been used to investigate the behavior of activated colloidal crud in the primary coolant and steam generator that solves the pump speed analytically. The analytic solution of the non-dimensional flow rate has been determined by the energy ratio β. The kinetic energy of the coolant fluid and the kinetic energy stored in the rotating parts of a pump are two essential parameters in the form of β. Under normal operation, the pump's speed and moment of inertia are constant. However, in a coastdown situation, kinetic damping in the interval has been implemented. A dynamic model ACCP-SMART has been developed for System Integrated Modular and Advanced Reactor (SMART) to investigate the corrosion due to activated colloidal crud. The Fickian diffusion model has been implemented as the reference corrosion model for the constituent component of the primary loop of the SMART reactor. The activated colloidal crud activity in the primary coolant and steam generator of the SMART reactor has been studied for different equilibrium corrosion rates, linear increase in corrosion rate, and dynamic RCP coastdown situation energy ratio b. The coolant specific activity of SMART reactor equilibrium corrosion (4.0 mg s^-1) has been found 9.63×10^-3 µCi cm^-3, 3.53×10^-3 µC cm^-3, 2.39×10^-2 µC cm^-3, 8.10×10^-3 µC cm^-3, 6.77× 10^-3 µC cm^-3, 4.95×10^-4 µC cm^-3, 1.19×10^-3 µC cm^-3, and 7.87×10^-4 µC cm^-3 for ²⁴Na, ⁵⁴Mn, ⁵⁶Mn, ⁵⁹Fe, ⁵⁸Co, ⁶⁰Co, ⁹⁹Mo, and ⁵¹Cr which are 14.95%, 5.48%, 37.08%, 12.57%, 10.51%, 0.77%, 18.50%, and 0.12% respectively. For linear and exponential coastdown with a constant corrosion rate, the total coolant and steam generator activity approaches a higher saturation value than the normal values. The coolant and steam generator activity changes considerably with kinetic corrosion rate, equilibrium corrosion, growth of corrosion rate (ΔC/Δt), and RCP coastdown situations. The effect of the RCP coastdown on the specific activity of the steam generators is smeared by linearly rising corrosion rates, equilibrium corrosion, and rapid coasting down of the RCP. However, the time taken to reach the saturation activity is also influenced by the slope of corrosion rate, coastdown situation, equilibrium corrosion rate, and energy ratio β.

The effect of Re addition and solidification rate on the directional solidification behavior of Ni-Al model alloy has been investigated. Directional solidification (DS) were carried out using the modified Bridgman furnace with various solidification rates. The solid/liquid interface during directional solidification was preserved by quenching the specimen after the desired volume fraction of original liquid was solidified. The equilibrium partition coefficients of Al and Re Were estimated by measuring the compositions at the quenched solid/liquid interface. Then, the effect of Re addition on the elemental segregation behavior was carefully analyzed. The differential scanning calorimetry results showed that the Re addition results in increased ${\gamma}'$ solvus and freezing range of the alloy. It was also shown that the primary dendrite arm spacing gradually decreases with increasing the Re content, while the secondary dendrite arm spacing appears to be independent on the Re content. The compositional analyses clearly revealed that the segregation of Al increased with increasing the Re content and solidification rate, while that of Re was found to be independent on the solidification rate in the range of $10{\sim}100{\mu}m/s$ due to its sluggish diffusion rate in the Ni solid solution.

Ohmic contacts between Au and p-HgHg_{0.7}Cd_{0.3}Te$ with low specific contact resistance have been obtained. The contact region of the wafer is first pre-heated for 5 seconds in a rapid thermal processing equipment. The temperature reaches a maximum value of about 200$^{\circ}C$ at the end of the 5 seconds. Next, a thin Au film is formed on the contact region by immersing the sample in AuCl$_{3}$ solution. the sample is then post-annealed in the same condition as the pre-heating after Pb/In pad metals are deposited on the electroless Au contacts. The specific contact resistance measured by transmission line model is 5${\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm^{2}$ at 80K. RBS and differential Hall measurement data suggest that the above low resistance ohmic contact is ascribed to surface traps and increased gold diffusion rate.

도심지 환경에서 콘크리트 구조물의 열화를 일으키는 주요한 요인 중 하나는 중성화이다. 최근, 대기 중 $CO_2$농도와 온도가 크게 증가하는 지구 온난화 현상으로 인하여 중성화 열화환경도 더욱 심각해지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 IPCC에서 제안한 지구규모 대기환경 변화 시나리오인 IS92a를 토대로 향후 100년까지 대기 중 $CO_2$ 농도와 온도 상승율을 예측하였다. 질량보존의 법칙과 Fick의 1법칙을 기초방정식으로 하여 시간경과에 따른 콘크리트의 수화도, 콘크리트 열화에 미치는 각종 주요변수 등의 재료물성을 반영하였다. 또한, 서울시의 미세기후조건을 반영하기 위하여 추계학적 및 통계학적 기법을 도입하여 중성화로 인한 내구수명예측 기법에 반영하였다. 연구결과에 의하면 물-시멘트비가 큰 콘크리트에서 COS 농도증가로 인한 중성화 진행속도가 뚜렷히 빨라지는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 물-시멘트비 55% 이하에서 충분히 양생된 보통 포틀랜드 콘크리트의 조건에서 중성화에 대한 우려가 높지 않을 것으로 생각된다.

This paper describes the comparison of calculated effective stress with experimental one in austenitic heat resistant steels, STS310J1TB and STS310S with and without a small amount of Nb and N. Based on a solute atoms diffusion model, contribution from soluble nitrogen to the high-temperature strength was numerically examined for austenitic heat-resisting Fe-Cr-Ni-N(STS310J1TB) and Fe-Cr-Ni (STS310S) alloys. The solute atmosphere dragging stress of dislocation was calculated in optional dislocation velocity of STS310J1TB and STS310S at $650^{\circ}C$, $675^{\circ}C$ and $700^{\circ}C$. As a result of the numerical calculation, the solute atmosphere dragging stress of STS310J1TB was about 50 times larger than that of STS310S. When the temperature became high, the maximum value of solute atmosphere dragging stress was small and the velocity of moving dislocation was fast. From the relationship between the dislocation rate and the solute atmosphere dragging stress, the relation of both was proportional and the inclination is about 1 in the level with low velocity of moving dislocation. From above results, the mechanism of dislocation movement in STS310J1TB was the solute atmosphere dragging stress. The solute atmosphere dragging stress, which was calculated from the numerical calculation was close to the effect stress in stress relaxation tests.
