Nuclear fusion seems to be a good choice of energy source in the future. Nickel is one of the crucial structural materials for fusion devices. In this work, the cross section data of ⁵⁸Ni(n,p)⁵⁸Co, ⁶⁰Ni(n,p)⁶⁰Co, ⁶¹Ni(n,p)⁶¹Co, ⁶²Ni(n,p)⁶²Co and ⁶⁴Ni(n,p)⁶⁴Co reactions were calculated using the nuclear codes ALICE/ASH, EMPIRE 3.2 and TALYS 1.8. In addition, the cross sections were calculated with the empirical formulas obtained in our previous paper at 14-15 MeV. The obtained results were compared with the measured values in the literature, and with the evaluated data files (JEFF-3.3, TENDL-2017, ENDF/B-VIII.0).

Nuclear fusion may be among the strongest sustainable ways to replace fossil fuels because it does not contribute to acid rain or global warming. In this context, activated cobalt materials in corrosion products for fusion energy are significant in determination of dose levels during maintenance after a coolant leak in a nuclear fusion reactor. Therefore, cross-section studies on cobalt material are very important for fusion reactor design. In this article, the excitation functions of some nuclear reaction channels induced by proton particles on $^{59}Co$ structural material were predicted using different models. The nuclear level densities were calculated using different choices of available level density models in ALICE/ASH code. Finally, the newly calculated cross sections for the investigated nuclear reactions are compared with the experimental values and TENDL data based on TALYS nuclear code.

본 연구에서는 역청탄으로 설계된 870MW급 유연탄 화력발전소를 대상으로 발전기 출력, 연소조건, 통풍조건을 일정하게 유지하면서 역청탄과 아역청탄을 혼합하여 연소함에 따른 슬래깅 발생 영향을 분석하였으며, 이에 따른 보일러 성능에 영향을 주지 않는 허용 가능한 혼탄 방안을 제시하였다. 아역청탄의 혼합 비율을 10%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% 등으로 조정하여 원소분석, 공업분석, 회융점 변화, 슬래깅 지수 등을 확인하였고, 적정 혼탄 조건은 아역청탄은 40% 이하로 혼탄하고, 회의 산성분 대비 염기성분 비율은 0.4이하 또는 1이상, 총 알칼리는 3.5이하, 융점 슬래깅 지수는 1,345℃ 이상, 원소분석 시 회함량은 13% 이하, 공업분석 시 회함량은 15% 이하, 초기용융점은 최소 1,200℃ 이상이어야 바람직하다고 판단된다.

ZrO2 powders having high purity were prepared from domestic zircon sand using the caustic fusion method and the soda ash sintering process. In the caustic fusion method, ZrO2 recovery was reached to 96% when 100/140 mesh zircon was reacted with NaOH at the NaOH/Zircon mole ratio 6 and at 650$^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. And in the soda ash sintering process, ZrO2 was recovered to 88.5% when -325 mesh zircon was reacted with Na2CO3 at the Na2CO3/Zircon mole ratio 1.1 and 1050$^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. In both cases, Zr component was extracted to ZrOCl2, subsequently crystallized to ZrOCl2$.$8H2O to increase the purity, and converted to ZrO2 by precipitation. And to increase the sinter ability of powder, Cl- ion was removed and strong agglomeration was avoided by methanol distribution of Zr(OH)4 precipitates.

The anthracite coalfields of Korea are confined to the areas where sedimentary rocks of Permian and Jurassic are preserved. The Chungnam coalfield lies in the sedimentary rocks of Jurassic which belongs to the Daedong Supergroup (the Nampo group). For the property analysis of each coal seam interbeded in Daedong Supergroup, Seongju area is chosen and twelve coalseams are taken. Many standard tests have been established for optical analysis (maceral analysis, coalification degree measurement), chemical analysis (proximate, ultimate analysis) and physical analysis (ignition temperature, ash fusion temperature, hardgrove grindability index and X-ray diffraction). The Jurassic anthracite mainly consist of vitrinite and macrinite and the range of the reflectance is $R_{max}$ 5.0-6.5 which means metaanthracite rank. By the chemical composition analysis, it shows low H/C and high O/C value compare with international average value. By the physical analysis, it has very high ignition temperature ($531-584^{\circ}C$) and ash fusion temperature ($1510-1700^{\circ}C$) and very low combustion velocity (0.2-1.9 mg/min). The very wide range of the hardgrove grindability index (46-132) means that the grindability controlled mainly by the structural conditions of coal bearing strata.

석탄슬래그는 회분의 조성에 따라 고온에서 매우 상이한 슬래그 거동을 보여준다. 국내 가스화 대상탄으로 검토된 탄 중, 산성 산화물의 함량이 높아 고용융점을 갖는 7종의 석탄 회분을 가스화 조건인 고온, 환원분위기에서 점도 측정을 실시하였다. 4종의 탄에 대해서는 높은 점도를 낮추기 위하여 염기성 산화물인 CaO를 3가지 비율로 혼합하여 점도 측정을 실시하였다. 또한, flux의 혼합으로 인해 발생할 수 있는 결정체 형성을 FactSage 평형계산 프로그램과 CaO-SiO2-Al2O3 3성분계 상평형도를 이용하여 예측하였다. CaO가 첨가된 시료 모두에서 낮은 CaO 첨가비에서는 원래의 시료보다 낮은 점도를 보였으나, CaO첨가비가 20% 이상일 때는 anorthite이 형성되어 $T_{cv}$를 갖는 결정슬래그로 점도 거동이 변화하면서 실제조업 가능한 온도를 증가시켰다. 점도 측정 후 냉각된 시료의 SEM/EDX 분석을 통해 형성된 결정체를 관찰한 결과, FactSage와 상평형도에서 예측된 결정체와 유사하게 나타나 CaO-SiO2-Al2O3 3성분계 상평형도가 결정체 예측에 유용함을 확인하였다.

The adsorption performance of cupper and zinc ions($Cu^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$) in aqueous solution was investigated by an adsorption process on reagent grade Na-A zeolite(Z-WK) and Na-A zeolite (Z-C1) prepared from coal fly ash. Z-C1 was synthesized by a fusion method with coal fly ash from a thermal power plant. Batch adsorption experiment with Z-C1 was employed to study the kinetics and equilibrium parameters such as initial metal ions concentration and adsorption time of the solution on the adsorption process. Adsorption rate of metal ions occurred rapidly and adsorption equilibrium reached at less than 120 minutes. The kinetics data of $Cu^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ ions were well fitted by a pseudo-second-order kinetics model more than a pseudo-first-order kinetics model. The equilibrium data were well fitted by a Langmuir model and this result showed $Cu^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ adsorption on Z-C1 would be occupied by a monolayer adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity($q_{max}$) by the Langmuir model was determined as $Cu^{2+}$ 99.8 mg/g and $Zn^{2+}$ 108.3 mg/g, respectively. It appeared that the synthetic zeolite, Z-C1, has potential application as absorbents in metal ion recovery and mining wastewater.

A zeolite material with a Si/Al molar ratio of 1.2 was synthesized by changing the NaOH/CFA ratio of coal fly ash (CFA) via a fusion/hydrothermal reaction in the HD thermal power plant. The change in the crystal structure of the zeolite was confirmed using XRD and SEM, and the ammonia adsorption capacities of the synthesized zeolitic materials and a commercial zeolite (Na-A zeolite) were analyzed via an ammonia temperature-programmed desorption (NH₃-TPD) process. The SEM and XRD results revealed out the zeolitic materials from the coal fly ash maintained a hexagonal Linde-type crystal structure similar to that of Na-A zeolite, but the crystallinity of the synthesized zeolitic material was reduced due to impurities. The NH₃ adsorption capacity, determined from the NH₃-TPD analysis of was 1.122 mmol/g of the synthesized zeolitic material, which was lower than the NH₃ adsorption capacity of the Na-A zeolite.

In this study, zeolite (Z-C2) was synthesized using a fusion/hydrothermal method on coal fly ash (FA) discharged from a thermal power plant in the Ulsan area and then analyzed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The Z-C2 was characterized in terms of mineralogical composition and morphological analysis. The XRD results showed that its peaks had the characteristics of Na-A zeolite in the range of $2{\theta}$ of 7.18~34.18. The SEM images confirmed that the Na-A zeolite crystals had a chamfered-edge crystal structure almost identical to that of the commercial zeolite. The adsorption kinetics of Cu, Co, Mn and Zn ions by Z-C2 were described better by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model more than by the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The Langmuir model fitted the adsorption isotherm data better than the Freundlich model did. The maximum adsorption capacities of Cu, Co, Mn and Zn ions obtained from the Langmuir model were in the following order : Cu (94.7 mg/g) > Co (77.7 mg/g) > Mn (57.6 mg/g) > Zn (51.1 mg/g). These adsorption capacities are regarded as excellent compared to those of commercial zeolite.

본 연구에서는 화력발전소에서 채취한 석탄 비산재(coal fly ash)로부터 fusion method를 이용하여 중금속 흡착 성능이 뛰어난 Na-X과 Na-A 제올라이트를 합성하였다. 또한 이를 이용하여 Cu(II) 흡착 성능을 상업용 Na-X 및 Na-A 제올라이트와 비교하였다. 제올라이트의 최적 합성 조건을 선정하기 위해 fusion method의 주요 영향인자인 NaOH 주입비율, 숙성시간(aging time), 수열반응 시간(hydrothermal reaction time), NaAlO₂ (Na-A) 주입비율의 변화에 의한 제올라이트의 특성을 고찰하였다. 그리고 XRD, CEC, BET, SEM 분석을 실시하였으며, 최적의 제올라이트 합성 조건은 NaOH 주입 비율 = 1.5, 숙성시간 = 6 h, 수열반응 시간 = 6 h, NaAlO₂ (Na-A) 주입 비율 = 0.5인 것으로 확인되었다. Langmuir 등온 흡착곡선의 분석결과, Cu(II)에 대한 최대 흡착 농도는 합성된 Na-X와 Na-A 제올라이트의 경우 각각 90.1와 105.26 mg/g, 상업용 Na-X와 Na-A 제올라이트의 경우 각각, 102.05와 109.89 mg/g으로 나타나 Cu(II) 흡착 성능에 있어서 합성 제올라이트와 상업용 제올라이트가 유사한 결과를 보여주었다. 따라서 본 실험의 결과들은 화력발전소 석탄 비산재의 제올라이트 합성 재료로서의 활용 가능성을 나타내었다.
