The review discusses various alternative approaches for spent nuclear fuel (SNF) reprocessing in aqueous carbonate media. The main stages, schemes, and methods of the most well-known and well-described processes for reprocessing SNF and some high-level radioactive waste using carbonate systems developed by research groups in Japan, the United States of America, the Republic of Korea, and the Russian Federation described and compared. The main advantages of such methods are outlined compared to the SNF reprocessing in nitric acid media. The levels of development and proximity of the designed processes to the industrial implementation are shown. The main principle achievements, prospects, and routes for the refinement of such methods for the technology of SNF reprocessing and handling of high-level radioactive waste formulated.

Raman spectroscopy is effective to investigate functional groups via molecular vibration. The technique offers the structural information of compounds including subtle changes in the chemical composition of local atomic coordination without critical damage. Thus, the effect of carbonation on the hydration characteristics of Portland cement under pre-curing conditions for carbonation was investigated via Raman spectroscopy in the present study. Gaseous CO₂ was injected within 60 seconds, and the reaction time was varied from 0 minute to 90 minutes. The test results indicated that the Ca/Si ratio of C-S-H reduced immediately after mixing and then the C-S-H with a relatively high Ca/Si ratio coexisted as the reaction time increased. The calcium carbonates formed in the present study included calcite and amorphous calcium carbonates. The test results via Raman spectroscopy provide valuable information about the carbonation characteristics of OPC under pre-curing conditions for carbonation.

The characteristics of As and heavy metals depend on the oxidation/reduction condition of the soil environment. The most heavy metals are immobilized by the reduction condition whereas As, Fe and Mn become more soluble. Therefore this study estimated the stabilization efficiency of the agricultural paddy soil in the vicinity of the abandoned mine using a flooded column test including analysis of the soil solution, contaminants fractionation and rice grain. Limestone and steelmaking slag were used as amendments for stabilization of the contaminated soil. In an analysis of the soil solution, the mobile characteristics of Fe and Mn, which were used as electron acceptors of the microorganisms, were controlled by increasing the pH by adding alkali amendments. This means that the contaminants combined with Fe and Mn can be stable under flooded reduction condition. However, the concentrations of cationic heavy metals (Cd, Pb, and Zn) were also decreased without amendments because the carbonates produced from microbial respiration increased the pH of the soil solution. In the amended soil, the specific sorbed fraction of As and carbonates fraction of heavy metals were increased when compared to the control soil at the end of the column test. Especially in heavy metals, the increase of carbonates fraction seems to be influenced by alkali amendments rather than microbial respiration. Because of the stabilization effect in the flooded paddy soil, the contents of As and Zn in rice grain from amended soil were lower than that of the control soil. But additional research is needed because of the relatively higher Pb content identified in the rice grain from the amended.

콜레스테롤 메틸카보네이트와 프로필카보네이트의 결정구조를 X-선 회절법으로 연구하였다. 이 결정들은 단사정계이고 공간군은 P21이다. 회절반점들의 세기는 흑연 단색화 장치가 있는 Enraf-Nonius CAD-4 X-선 회절계로 얻었으며, Cu-Kα X-선(λ=1.5418Å)을 사용하였다. 콜레스테롤 메틸카보네이트의 단위세포 길이 a=17.014(1), b=7.682(1), c=10.612(1)Å이며, β=103.05(1)°, Z=2이다. 한편 콜레스테롤 프로필카보네이트의 단위세포길이는 a=13.683(1), b=11.864(2), c=18.904(2)Å이며, β=106.30(1)°, Z=4이다. 분자구조들은 직접법으로 풀었으며 최소자승법으로 정밀화하였다. 최종신뢰도 R값은 메틸카보네이트는 2323개의 회절반점에 대하여 0.051이고, 프로필카보네이트는 3323개의 회절반점에 대하여 0.074이다. 이들 화합물들의 콜레스테롤부분의 분자구조들은 다른 관련 화합물에서 밝혀진 구조와 잘 일치하고 있다. 이의 두 화합물을 포함하여 콜레스테롤 카보네이트들의 결정구조들은 단분자층을 이루면서 쌓여 있어서 독특한 결정구조를 보여주며 같은 계열의 알킬 카보네이트들과 일련의 유사한 결정구조의 구룹들을 보여준다. 콜레스테롤 메틸카보네이트 분자들은 monolayer를 이루면서 쌓여있으며, monolayer 중심부에서는 cholesteryl-C(17) side chain 상호작용이 강하며 layer 사이에는 카보네이트사슬들이 느슨하게 모여있다. 프로필카보네이트 결정에서는 두 개의 결정학적으로 독립된 분자들(A and B)이 있다. A분자들간의 cholesterol-cholesterol상호작용과 B분자들간의 cholesteryl-C(17) side chain 상호작용들이 layer의 중심부에서 일어나며, 이들 분자들은 나사축 방향을 따라서 쌓여있다. 콜레스테롤 카보네이트의 구조들은 액체결정 상태의 특질을 가지고 있고, 이런 성질들을 결정구조와 관련하여 논의하였다.

지구상에서 일어나는 많은 환경문제 중 지구의 온난화 현상은 지구의 존폐를 가름할 정도로 중요한 문제이다. 이 온난화현상을 일으키는 주범이 바로 이산화탄이다. 이와 같은 해결책의 일환으로 CO₂를 이용하여 epoxide를 가지고, 여러 가지 고분자를 고압의 조건에서 합성해 보고, 또한 합성된 고분자의 열적분해로 이루어지는 메커니즘을 규명해 보았다.

A kinetic study on nucleophilic substitution reactions of phenyl Y-substituted-phenyl carbonates (5a-5j) with ethylamine in 80 mol % $H_2O$/20 mol % DMSO at $25.0{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$ is reported. The plots of $k_{obsd}$ vs. [amine] are linear for the reactions of substrates possessing a strong electron-withdrawing group (EWG) but curve upward for those of substrates bearing a weak EWG, indicating that the electronic nature of the substituent Y in the leaving group governs the reaction mechanism. The reactions have been concluded to proceed through a stepwise mechanism with one or two intermediates (a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate $T^{\pm}$ and its deprotonated form $T^-$) depending on the nature of the substituent Y. Analysis of Bronsted-type plots and dissection of $k_{obsd}$ into microscopic rate constants have revealed that the reactions of substrates possessing a strong EWG (e.g., 5a-5f) proceed through $T^{\pm}$ with its formation being the rate-determining step, while those of substrates bearing a weak EWG (e.g., 5g-5j) proceed through $T^{\pm}$ and $T^-$.
