경질올레핀을 제조하기 위한 n-옥탄의 접촉분해반응에서 H-ZSM-5 촉매의 소성 및 스팀 처리 영향을 $550{\sim}750^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 조사하였다. 소성 및 스팀 처리 온도를 높이면 H-ZSM-5 촉매의 비표면적, 기공부피 및 강산점이 줄어들었다. $650^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 스팀 처리는 제올라이트 구조 내 알루미늄의 탈알루미늄화 및 미세기공의 붕괴로 강산점이 소멸되어, 미세 기공부피가 줄어들며 입자 간 결합에 의한 중기공이 형성되었다. $^{27}Al$ 및 $^{29}Si$ MAS NMR 스펙트럼으로부터 스팀 처리로 발생하는 탈알루미늄의 과정을 검토하였다. 제올라이트 격자의 알루미늄이 사면체 배위구조 알루미늄 ${\rightarrow}$ 5개 배위구조 알루미늄 ${\rightarrow}$ 팔면체 배위구조 알루미늄으로 변화과정을 거침을 알 수 있었다. n-옥탄 접촉 분해반응의 전환율, 경질올레핀 수율 및 에틸렌/프로필렌 비가 H-ZSM-5의 소성 및 스팀 처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 스팀 처리는 소성 처리보다 활성저하 정도가 더욱 심하여 $750^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 스팀 처리 후에는 H-ZSM-5가 촉매로서의 기능을 상실하여 열분해반응에 근접하는 전환율, 경질올레핀 수율 및 에틸렌/프로필렌 비의 결과를 나타내었다.

A numerical simulation of the solid/liquid coexistence temperature range, using solidification segregation model linked with the Kurz-Giovanola-Trivedi model, explained the mechanism of the BTR shrinkage (with an increase in welding speed) in type 310 stainless steel welds by reduction of the solid/liquid coexistence temperature range of the weld metal due to the inhibited solidification segregation of solute elements and promoted dendrite tip supercooling attributed to rapid solidification of laser beam welding. The reason why the BTR enlarged in type 316 series stainless welds could be clarified by the enhanced solidification segregation of impurity elements (S and P), corresponding to the decrement in ${\delta}-ferrite$ crystallization amount at the solidification completion stage in the laser welds. Furthermore, the greater increase in BTR with type 316-B steel was determined to be due to a larger decrease in ${\delta}-ferrite$ amount during welding solidification than with type 316-A steel. This, in turn, greatly increases the segregation of impurities, which is responsible for the greater temperature range of solid/liquid coexistence when using type 316-B steel.

The effect of stress factors on the growing process of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of the sensitized 18-8 stainless steel in high temperature water was investigated using equations of crack growth rate derived from applying electric circuits to SCC corrosion paths. Three kinds of cross sections have to be considered when electric circuit is constructed using total current. The first is ion flow passage area, $S_{sol}$, of solution in crack, the second is total dissolving surface area, $S_{dis}$, of metal on electrode of crack tip and the third is dissolving cross section, $S_{met}$, of metal on grain boundary or in base metal or in welding metal. Stress may affect each area. $S_{sol}$ may depend on applied stress, $\sigma_{\infty}$, related with crack depth. $S_{dis}$ is expressed using a factor of $\varepsilon(K)$ and may depend on stress intensity factor, K only. SCC crack growth rate is ordinarily estimated using a variable of K only as stress factor. However it may be expected that SCC crack growth rate depends on both applied stress $\sigma_{\infty}$ and K or both crack depth and K from this consideration.$\varepsilon(K)$ is expressed as ${\varepsilon}(K)=h_2{\cdot}K^2+h_3{\cdot}K^3$ when $h_{2}$ and $h_{3}$ are coefficients. Also, relationships between SCC crack growth rate, da/dt and K were simulated and compared with the literature data of JBWR-VIP-04, NRC NUREG-0313 Rev.2 and SKIFS Draft. It was pointed out in CT test that the difference of distance between a point of application of force and the end of starter notch (starting point of fatigue crack) may be important to estimate SCC crack growth rate. An anode dissolution current density was quantitatively evaluated using a derived equation.

본 연구에서는 납사 크래킹 잔사유로부터 용융전기방사용 핏치가 열처리 개질 방법에 의하여 제조되었다. 개질된 핏치의 연화점과 물성은 질소유량, 열처리 온도 및 반응시간 같은 개질 조건에 따라 영향을 받았다. 이중에서 열처리온도가 핏치의 분자량 분포 및 연화점에 큰 영향력을 미쳤다. 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라서 표면 작용기들의 분해와 고리화 반응으로 C/H 몰비와 평균분자량이 증가하였다. 또한, 벤젠 불용분(BI)과 퀴놀린 불용분(QI)값이 감소되었고, 분자량 분포의 폭이 더 좁아지는 것으로 보여주었다. 연화점이 $155^{\circ}C$인 개질 핏치로부터 용융전기방사법을 이용하여 $4.8{\mu}m$의 직경을 갖는 탄소섬유를 얻을 수 있었다. 용융전기방사법이 저섬경화 섬유를 제조하는데 기존의 용융방사법보다 더 용이할 것으로 여겨진다.

This study investigates the synthesis, characterization, and application of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles for corrosion resistance and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) mitigation in high-temperature and high-pressure environments. The ZnO nanoparticles are synthesized using plasma discharge in water, resulting in rod-shaped particles with a hexagonal crystal structure. The ZnO nanoparticles are applied to Alloy 600 tubes in simulated nuclear power plant atmospheres to evaluate their effectiveness. X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis reveals the formation of thermodynamically stable ZnCr₂O₄and ZnFe₂O₄ spinel phases with a depth of approximately 35 nm on the surface after 240 hours of treatment. Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) mitigation experiments reveal that ZnO treatment enhances thermal and mechanical stability. The ZnO-treated specimens exhibit increased maximum temperature tolerance up to 310 ℃ and higher-pressure resistance up to 60 bar compared to non-treated ZnO samples. Measurements of crack length indicate reduced crack propagation in ZnO-treated specimens. The formation of thermodynamically stable Zn spinel structures on the surface of Alloy 600 and the subsequent improvements in surface properties contribute to the enhanced durability and performance of the material in challenging high-temperature and high-pressure environments. These findings have significant implications for the development of corrosion-resistant materials and the mitigation of stress corrosion cracking in various industries.

Naphtha Cracking Bottom (NCB) oil was heat reformed at various reforming temperature and time, and the volatile extracts were characterized including yields, molecular weight distributions, and representative compounds. The yield of extract increased as the increase of reforming temperature ($360{\sim}420^{\circ}C)$ and time (1~4 hr). Molecular weight of the as-received NCB oil was under 200, and those of extracts were distributed in the range of 100-250, and far smaller than those of precursor pitches of 380-550. Naphtalene-based compounds were more than 70% in the as-received NCB oil, and most of them were isomers of compounds bonding functional groups, such as methyl ($CH_{3^-}$) and ethyl ($C_2H_{5^-}$). When the as-received NCB oil was reformed at $360^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr, the most prominent compound was 1,2-Butadien, 3-phenyl- (24.57%), while naphthalene became main component again as increasing the reforming temperature.

This study focuses on an understanding of the environmental effect on delayed hydride cracking velocity (DHCV) of CANDU Zr-2.5Nb tubes. To simulate DHC susceptibility of the Zr-2.5Nb tubes in reactor operating conditions, DHC tests were successfully carried out in pressurized water at 180 and $250^{\circ}C$ using a self-designed autoclave for the first time. Using 17 mm compact tension specimens electorlytically charged to 34 and 60 ppm H, 3 to 7 DHCV data were determined in water at both temperatures and compared to those determined in air that were already confirmed to be valid through a round robin test on DHCV of Zr-2.5Nb tubes sponsored by a IAEA coordinated research program. The pressurized water environment has little effect on DHCV of Zr-2.5Nb tube in water at both temperatures even though DHCV is slightly lower in water than that in air. The lower DHCV of the Zr-2.5Nb tube during short-term tests is discussed in viewpoint of the cooling rate from the peak temperature to the test temperature.

The water radiolysis in-core at light water reactors (LWRs) produces various radicals with other ionic species/molecules and radioactive nitrogen species in the reactor coolant. Nitrogen species can exist in many different chemical forms and recirculate in water and steam, and consequently contribute to what extent the environmental safety at nuclear power plants. Therefore, a clear understanding of formation kinetics and chemical behaviors of nitrogen species under irradiation is crucial for better insight into the characteristics of major radioactive species released to the main steam or relevant coolant systems and eventually development of advanced processes/methodologies to enhance the environmental safety at nuclear power plants. This paper thus focuses on basic principles on electrochemical interaction kinetics of radiolytic molecules and various nitrogen species in high temperature water, fundamental approaches for calculating thermodynamic values to predict their stability and domain in LWRs, and the effect of nitrogen species on crevice chemistry/corrosion and intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) susceptibility of structure materials in high temperature water.

합벽, 옹벽, 교량 주탑과 같이 세장한 매스콘크리트 구조물의 경우 온도균열 제어를 위해 저발열 콘크리트 배합의 적용 및 균열유발줄눈의 설치 등이 주로 적용되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 대책이 적용되어도 세장한 매스 구조물들은 내부구속에 비해 외부구속이 크기 때문에 완벽한 균열제어가 불가능하고, 특히 균열이 발생하게 되면 거의 관통을 하기 때문에 온도균열제어를 위한 특별한 관리가 필요하다. 합벽, 옹벽, 교량 주탑과 같이 세장한 매스콘크리트 구조물의 적극적인 온도균열 제어를 위하여 기존의 파이프쿨링 공법을 개선시킨 연직파이프쿨링 공법을 개발하였으며, 현장 우수조/중수조 합벽 콘크리트에 적용이 되었다. 그 결과 합벽의 중심부 최고 온도를 10도 이상 낮츨 수 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 균열은 50% 이상 감소시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
