This work dealt with the evaluation of galvanic corrosion rate in a corrosion cell having annular gap of 0.5 mm between carbon steel 1018 and alloy 600 as a function of temperature and boron concentration. Temperature and boron concentration were ranged from 110 to 300 $^{\circ}C$ and 2000~10000 ppm, respectively. After the operating temperature of the corrosion cell where the electrolyte was injected was attained at setting temperature, galvanic coupling was made and at the same time galvanic current was measured. The galvanic corrosion rate decreased with time, which was described by corrosion product such as protective film as well as boric acid deposit formed on the carbon steel with time. From the galvanic current obtained as a function of temperature and boron concentration, it was found that the galvanic corrosion rate decreased with temperaturewhilethe corrosionrate increasedwith boronconcentration. The experimental resultsobtained from galvanic corrosion measurement were explained by adhesive property of corrosion product such as protective film, boric acid deposit formed on the carbon steel wall and dehydration of boric acid to be slightlysolubleboric acid phase.Moreoverthe galvaniccorrosionrate calculatedusing initialgalvaniccoupling current instead of steady state coupling current was remarked, which could give us relatively closer galvanic corrosion rate to real pressurized water reactor.

해수 중에 보론은 주로 붕산(boric acid, $B(OH)_3$)으로 존재하며 그 크기가 역삼투압(RO, reverse osmosis) 공정의 막의 공칭공경(nominal pore size)만큼 작아 이를 제거하기가 쉽지 않다. 이에 본 연구에서는 수용액 중 보론 화합물의 크기를 역삼투압 공정에서 제거가 용이하도록 키우기 위한 방법으로 $B(OH)_3$가 폴리올과 착화합물을 형성하는 원리를 이용하고자하며 착화합물의 형성 여부를 라만 분광학 연구를 통해 확인하고자 하였다. 먼저 $B(OH)_3$와 붕산염(borate ion, ${B(OH)_4}^-$) 이온의 대칭(symmetric) B-O 신축운동 모드(stretching vibrational mode)의 진동수를 확인하기 위하여 pH를 증가시키며 라만 스펙트럼을 측정한 결과 $877cm^{-1}$에서 $730cm^{-1}$으로 피크의 이동이 관찰되었다. 이는 수용액 중의 $B(OH)_3$가 pH가 증가하면서 ${B(OH)_4}^-$로 전환됨을 나타내고 이러한 피크의 이동은 진동수 계산(frequency calculation)에 의한 예측과 정확하게 일치하였다. 반면 $B(OH)_3$ 수용액에 폴리올을 첨가한 경우 pH가 증가하여도 ${B(OH)_4}^-$의 특성 진동수인 $730cm^{-1}$가 나타나지 않았으며 이는 $B(OH)_3$가 ${B(OH)_4}^-$로 전환되는 것이 아니라 폴리올과 착화합물을 형성함을 간접적으로 보여주고 있다.

Preliminary experiment was peformed to investigate the leaching characteristics of paraffin waste forms that had been recently generated in large quantities at domestic nuclear power plants. At first, waste simulants whose compositions were different in mixing ratio of paraffin to boric acid were prepared. Their compressive strengths were measured and ninety-day leaching test of specimen including cobalt was carried out according to ANSI/ANS-16.1 test procedure. Water immersion test was also conducted keeping pace with leaching test and the weight change and the compressive strength of specimen were observed after ninety days. The compressive strength of waste form exhibited 666 psi (4.53 MPa) in the case where mixing ratio of boric acid to paraffin was 78/22, which was adopted in concentrate waste drying system of domestic nuclear power plants. The leaching test resulted in about 50% of the cumulative fraction leached for boric acid and cobalt, respectively. The specific gravity of waste form was 0.87 ［g/g］whose value was less than that of water because the weight loss of about 39% occurred after the water immersion test of ninety days. It was also observed that the waste form which had undergone ninety-day water immersion test exhibited the compressive strength of 203 psi (1.38 MPa).

The effects on pool boiling heat transfer of aqueous solutions of boric acid ($H_3BO_3$) and sodium chloride (NaCl) as working fluids have been studied. Borated and NaCl water were prepared by dissolving 0.5~5% volume concentration of boric acid and NaCl in distilled-deionized water. The pool boiling tests were conducted using $1{\times}1\;cm^2$ flat heaters at 1 atm. The critical heat flux (CHF) dramatically increased compared to boiling pure water. At the end of boiling tests it was observed that particles of boric acid and NaCl had deposited and formed a coating on the heater surface. The CHF enhancement and surface modification during boiling tests were very similar to those obtained from boiling with nanofluids. Additional experiments were carried out to investigate the reliability of the additives deposition in pure water. The boric acid and NaCl coatings disappeared after repeated boiling tests on the same surface due to the soluble nature of the coatings, thus CHF enhancement no longer existed. These results demonstrate that not only insoluble nanoparticles but also soluble salts can be deposited during boiling process and the deposited layer is solely responsible for significant CHF enhancement.

보론을 함유한 광석이나 2차자원으로부터 보론을 효과적으로 회수하기 위한 습식공정을 개발하기 위해서는 수용액에서 보론산의 농도분포 자료가 필요하다. 보론산은 pH 6 이하의 용액에서 $B(OH)_3$로, pH 12 이상의 용액에서는 $B(OH)_4{^-}$로 존재한다. 그러나 pH 6에서 11사이의 범위에서는 $B(OH)_3$와 $B(OH)_4{^-}$간의 중합체 형성반응이 일어난다. $B_3O_3(OH)_4{^-}$, $B_4O_5(OH){_4}^{2-}$와 같은 중합체의 몰분율은 보론산의 농도에 비례한다.

The transition of europium-doped gadolinium oxide phosphor to gadolinium borate phosphor with the concentration of boron in the spray pyrolysis was investigated. The particles prepared from spray solution below 10 wt% boric acid of prepared phosphor had crystal structure of $Gd_2O_3:Eu$ phosphor, in which the crystallinity of the particles decreased with increasing the boron concentration. A single phase $GdBO_3:Eu$ phosphor particles were prepared from spray solution above 50 wt% boric acid of prepared phosphor. The phosphor particles prepared from spray solution with 20 wt% boric acid of prepared phosphor had no XRD peaks of $Gd_2O_3:Eu$ and $GdBO_3:Eu$ Therefore the phosphor particles prepared from spray solution with 20 wt% boric acid of prepared phosphor had the lowest photoluminescence intensity under ultraviolet and vacuum ultraviolet. $GdBO_3:Eu$ and $Gd_2O_3:Eu$ phosphor particles prepared from spray solutions with proper concentrations of boric acid had good photoluminescence intensity under vacuum ultraviolet. The morphology of the phosphor particles were strongly affected by the concentrations of boric acid added into spray solution.
