Background: Subway stations have the characteristics of being located underground and are a representative public-use facility used by an unspecified number of people. As concerns about indoor air quality (IAQ) increase, various management measures are being implemented. However, there are few systematic studies and cases of long-term continuous measurement of underground station air quality. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to analyze changes and factors influencing IAQ in subway stations through real-time continuous long-term measurement using IoT-based IAQ sensing equipment, and to evaluate the IAQ improvement effect of a bio-filter system. Methods: The IAQ of a subway station in Seoul was measured using IoT-based sensing equipment. A bio-filter system was installed after collecting the background concentrations for about five months. Based on the data collected over about 21 months, changes in indoor air quality and influencing factors were analyzed and the reduction effect of the bio-filter system was evaluated. Results: As a result of the analysis, PM₁₀, PM_2.5, and CO₂ increased during rush hour according to the change in the number of passengers, and PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 concentrations were high when a PM warning/watch was issued. There was an effect of improving IAQ with the installation of the bio-filter system. The reduction rate of a new-bio-filter system with improved efficiency was higher than that of the existing bio-filter system. Factors affecting PM_2.5 in the subway station were the outdoor PM_2.5, platform PM_2.5, and the number of passengers. Conclusions: The IAQ in a subway station is affected by passengers, ventilation through the air supply and exhaust, and the spread of particulate matter generated by train operation. Based on these results, it is expected that IAQ can be efficiently improved if a bio-filter system with improved efficiency is developed in consideration of the factors affecting IAQ and proper placement.

Synthesis of composite powders for the Fe₂O₃-Zn system by mechanical alloying (MA) has been investigated at room temperature. Optimal milling and heat treatment conditions to obtain soft magnetic composite with fine microstructure were investigated by X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) measurement. It is found that α-Fe/ZnO composite powders in which ZnO is dispersed in α-Fe matrix can be obtained by MA of Fe₂O₃ with Zn for 4 hours. The change in magnetization and coercivity also reflects the details of the solid-state reduction process of hematite by pure metal of Zn during MA. Densification of the MA powders was performed in a spark plasma sintering (SPS) machine at 900 ~ 1,000 ℃ under 60 MPa. Shrinkage change after SPS of sample MA'ed for 5 hrs was significant above 300 ℃ and gradually increased with increasing temperature up to 800 ℃. X-ray diffraction results show that the average grain size of α-Fe in the α-Fe/ZnO composite sintered at 900 ℃ is in the range of 110 nm.

Because sulfur hexafluoride(SF₆) is classified as one of the six major greenhouse gases, SF₆ handling in power plant such as recovery, purification, and reuse is considered to be important. KEPCO has focused to develop the advanced recovery and purification technology of SF₆ reuse. SF₆ analysis includes the on-site analyses and on-line analyzer; i.e., (1) on-site analysis has an error rate of ±0.5% and (2) on-line analysis has an error rate of ±0.1%, which is possible to adjust operating conditions and to make the work more conveniently by analyzing SF₆ concentration before and after purification step. This paper presents an online analysis method in the SF₆ purification and reuse system. In addition, the analysis results and quality guarantees for each section of the analysis system were presented.

본 연구에서는 수도권 지역의 대기오염물질(PM_2.5, PM₁₀, O₃) 농도와 지형 고도, 건물 면적비, 인구 밀도의 상관성을 조사하였다. 지형 고도와 건물 면적비를 분석하기 위해 국토지리정보원에서 제공하는 수치지형도를 이용하였고, 건물 면적비를 계산하기 위해 수도권 지역을 TM 중부원점을 기준으로 수평 9 km × 9 km 격자로 구분하였다. 인구 밀도는 국가통계포털의 행정구역별 면적과 인구수 자료를 이용하였다. 대기오염물질 농도 자료는 수도권에 위치한 도시대기측정소 146개 지점의 PM_2.5, PM₁₀, O₃ 농도 측정 자료를 이용하였다. 분석 기간은 2010년 1월부터 2020년 12월까지이고, 1시간 평균 농도 자료를 이용하여 월평균 농도를 계산하였다. 지형 고도는 경기도 북부와 동부 지역에서 높았고 서해안에 근접할수록 낮았다. 건물 면적비와 인구밀도 분포는 서로 유사하였고, 서울특별시에서 가장 높았으며, 산악과 해안지역에서는 낮게 나타났다. 월평균 PM_2.5과 PM₁₀ 농도는 봄철과 겨울철(1월~3월)에 높았고 O₃ 농도는 늦봄부터 초여름(4~6월)까지 높았다. 농도가 높은 3개월에 대해서 AMQS 지점별 평균 농도를 비교·분석하였다. 건물면적비나 인구밀도와 대기오염물질 농도 사이에는 음의 상관 관계가 분석되었다(인구밀도와 PM_2.5, PM₁₀ 농도 사이는 약한 음의 상관관계가, O₃ 농도와는 비교적 강한 음의 상관관계). 반면, 대기오염물질 농도와 도시대기측정소 측정 고도 사이의 뚜렷한 상관성을 나타나지 않았는데, 향후, 이에 대한 연구 수행이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

A neutronics study of a supercritical CO₂-cooled fast reactor core for nuclear propulsion has been performed in this work. The thermal power of the reactor core is 30 MWth and a ceramic UO₂ fuel can be used to achieve a 20-year lifetime without refueling. In order to make a compact core with inherent safety features, the drum-type reactivity control system and folding-type shutdown system are adopted. In addition, we suggest a cold shutdown system using gadolinium as a spectral shift absorber (SSA) against flooding. Although there is a penalty of U-235 enrichment for the core embedded with the cold shutdown system, it effectively mitigates the increment of reactivity at the flooding of seawater. In this study, the neutronics analyses have been performed by using the continuous energy Monte Carlo Serpent 2 code with the evaluated nuclear data file ENDF/B-VII.1 Library. The supercritical CO₂-cooled fast reactor core is characterized in view of important safety parameters such as the reactivity worth of reactivity control systems, fuel temperature coefficient (FTC), coolant temperature coefficient (CTC), and coolant temperature-density coefficient (CTDC). We can say that the suggested core has inherent safety features and enough flexibility for load-following operation.

There is a gap in our understanding of the behavior of fused and molten fuel salts containing unavoidable contamination, such as those due to fabrication, handling, or storage. Therefore, this work used calorimetry to investigate the change in liquidus temperature of PuCl₃, having an unknown purity and that had been in storage for several decades. Further research was performed by additions of NaCl, making several compositions within the binary system, and summarizing the resulting changes, if any, to the phase diagram. The melting temperature of the PuCl₃ was determined to be 746.5℃, approximately 20℃ lower than literature reported values, most likely due to an excess of Pu metal in the PuCl₃ either due to the presence of metallic plutonium remaining from incomplete chlorination or due to the solubility of Pu in PuCl₃. From the melting temperature, it was determined that the PuCl₃ contained between 5.9 to 6.2mol% Pu metal. Analysis of the NaCl-PuCl₃ samples showed that using the Pu rich PuCl₃ resulted in significant changes to the NaCl-PuCl₃ phase diagram. Most notably an unreported phase transition occurring at approximately 406℃ and a new eutectic composition of 52.7mol% NaCl-38.7mol% PuCl₃-2.5mol% Pu which melted at 449.3℃. Additionally, an increase in the liquidus temperatures was seen for NaCl rich compositions while lower liquidus temperatures were seen for PuCl₃ rich compositions. It can therefore be concluded that changes will occur in the NaCl-PuCl₃ binary system when using PuCl₃ with excess Pu metal. However, melting temperature analysis can provide valuable insight into the composition of the PuCl₃ and therefore the NaCl-PuCl₃ system.

Thermal conductivities in $La_2Ce_2O_7-Gd_2Ce_2O_7-Y_2Ce_2O_7$ ternary system have been investigated. Pyrochlore phases formed at all ternary compositions and their sinterbilities were decreased with La addition. Thermal conductivities showed a minimum value at $La_2Ce_2O_7$ with moderate increases as $Y^{3+}$ and $Gd^{3+}$ ions replaced $La^{3+}$. Thermal expansion anomaly observed in $La_2Ce_2O_7$, which might be detrimental to TBC application, were suppressed by $Y^{3+}$ and $Gd^{3+}$ additions, with resultant thermal conductivities, $1.3{\sim}1.5 W/mK$ at $1000^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, we show some results on the artinianness of local cohomology modules with respect to a system of ideals. If M is a 𝚽-minimax ZD-module, then H^{dim M}_𝚽(M)/𝖆H^{dim M}_𝚽(M) is artinian for all 𝖆 ∈ 𝚽. Moreover, if M is a 𝚽-minimax ZD-module, t is a non-negative integer and Hⁱ_𝚽(M) is minimax for all i > t, then Hⁱ_𝚽(M) is artinian for all i > t.

철강산업의 산 회수설비에서 발생하는 염화수소 가스를 처리하기 위하여 마이크로버블을 발생할 수 있는 습식스크러빙 장치(DIWS)가 도입되었다. 산 회수 설비에서 발생하는 염소가스는 수소 가스와 결합하여 염화수소 가스의 농도를 50% 정도 증가시켰다. DIWS장치에 염소 제거를 위한 Na₂S₂O₃를 투입한 이후의 유입수 염화수소 가스 농도는 13.1 ~13.4 ppm, 유출수는 1.5~1.7 ppm이었고, 제거율은 87.5~88.8%로 안정되게 유지하였다. DIWS는 대기배출기준을 안정적으로 만족함에 따라 현장 적용에 적용할 수 있는 공정으로 판단된다.
