Slopping deteriorates the productivity and the stability of operation in BOF refining process, and hence POSCO has developed methods to predict and prevent slopping. Specific equipment was developed to measure the change of the reacting force to the oxygen-blowing lance against oxygen jet and the force was gathered and analyzed with the flow rate of oxygen and the height of lance. From this study, it was found that the reacting force is strongly correlated to the slag foam height. Currently, the modeling of the relation of the slag foaming level and the vertically acted force to lance is being approached for predicting the slopping.

Composites are very useful material for light train carbody due to its high specific strength and lightweight characteristics. The composites, called 3-D board, are developed with a special stitching method. In this process, the glass fiber fabrics of skin material and foam core material are stitched together with glass fiber thread. The glass thread in Z-axis turns into FRP form. The conventional delamination problem can be solved with 3-D sandwich structure. In addition, with the lower density of foam, the weight of the panel and the operation expenses can be highly reduced. To evaluate the usefulness of the 3-D board, the double-deck light train carbody is studied. The stress analyses are carried out under various loads and boundary conditions with FEM Code, ANSYS. On comparing with the aluminum carbody, 3-D board carbody can be reduced by about 2 ton for the total weight of carbody.

The wasted plastic PC/ABS retainer, polyurethane foam (PUF) and vinyl (PVC) skin. In order to investigate the recycling process, the multi-layered instrument panel Each of materials separated was shredded and crushed to create many small particles respectively. The separation of the foam and skin and retainer of zigzagged air blower. Pilot tests performed at the equipment yielded 98.8% by weight of the available PVC and 99.3% by weight of the available PC/ABS respectively. Secondly, the thermal stabilizer and the compatabilizer have been used to improve the physical propertied of recycled materials.. The properties of recycled PVC materials resulted in about 50% compared to that of virgin materials after treatment by Pb-St thermal stabilizer. In addition, the properties of recycled PC/ABS materials was also obtained about 80% compared to that of virgn materials after treatment by PMMA compatabilizer.

Developing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts is essential to accomplish viable CO₂ and water electrolysis. Herein, we report the fabrication and OER performance of Ni-foam (NF)-immobilized Ni₆ nanoclusters (NCs) (Ni₆/NF) prepared by a dip-coating process. The Ni₆/NF electrode exhibited a high current density of 500 mA/cm² for the OER at an overpotential as low as 0.39 V. Ni₆/NF exhibited high durability in an alkaline solution without corrosion. Electrokinetic studies revealed that OER can be easily initiated on Ni6 NC with fast electron-transfer rates. Finally, we demonstrated stable CO₂-to-CO electroreduction using an NC-based zero-gap CO₂ electrolyzer operated at a current density of 100 mA/cm² and a full-cell potential of 2.0 V for 12 h.

본 연구에서는 PBAT의 가교 개질을 위해 DCP를 도입하였고 화학발포제인 ADC를 PBAT에 분산시킨 후 압축 성형 공정으로 발포제의 분해를 통해 셀을 형성하여 시트형태의 PBAT 발포체를 제작하였다. FT-IR 분석을 통해 DCP의 분해를 확인하였으며 DCP 함량에 따른 PBAT의 용융 흐름 지수를 비교하여 가교로 인한 용융 점도의 향상을 확인할 수 있었다. DSC 분석을 통해 열적 특성을 비교한 결과 T_c의 변화를 확인할 수 있었고 이를 통해 DCP 첨가로 인한 가교 반응의 결과를 확인할 수 있었다. TGA 분석 결과를 통해 DCP의 첨가가 열 안정성의 유의미한 차이를 야기시키지 않는 것을 확인하였다. 발포 시트의 DCP 함량 별 기계적 물성은 유의미한 차이를 보이지 않았으나 PB_D3에서 다소 낮은 인장강도를 보였으며 PB_D3의 큰 셀 사이즈로 인해 응력 전달에 부정적으로 작용하여 인장강도 및 연신율이 감소하였을 것으로 판단하였다. DCP 함량 증가에 따라 발포 셀의 개수는 감소하였으나 평균 셀 사이즈는 증가하였고 가장 큰 PB_D3의 평균 셀 사이즈로 인해 발포 시트의 밀도가 가장 낮게 나타났다. 반면 이러한 큰 셀의 사이즈와 낮은 밀도는 열전도도를 감소시키는 요인으로 작용하여 PB_D3 발포 시트의 경우 최대 0.066 W/mk 까지 감소시킬 수 있었기에, 단열 특성을 지닌 생분해성 발포 시트로의 활용에 대한 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Multi-step induction heating process was applied to the powder compact melting technique as a new heating process to achieve pinpoint accuracy, faster cycle time, repeatability, non-contact and energy-efficient heat in a minimal amount of time. The objective of this study is the establishment of the input data diagram of multi step induction heating process for automation of the fabrication process of 6061 Al foams with desired density. At first, proper induction coil was designed to obtain a uniform temperature distribution over the entire cross sectional area of specimen. By using this coil, foaming experiments were performed to investigate the multi-step induction heating conditions such as capacity, temperature and time conditions of each heating and holding step. On the basis of the obtained multi-step induction heating conditions, relationship between final heating temperature and fraction of porosity was investigated.

A self actuated photocatalyst $Weltouch^{(R)}$ used to the remove the odor gases generated in the foaming process of shoes insole was prepared by sol-gel method and studied its property. Specially, with mixing $Weltouch^{(R)}$ in the foaming process of shoes insole, the physical functionality such as specific gravity, hardness, elongation, compression set was studied. The physical functionality of shoes insole was no variation by added $Weltouch^{(R)}$. The odor gases generated in the foaming process of shoes insole was detected to be reduced to 60~80% by self actuated photocataylst $Weltouch^{(R)}$ even in the dark conditions, which was observed for both anatase and rutile phase.

폴리 우레탄 폼 코아 샌드위치 복합재료의 정적 및 피로 특성에 대하여 연구하였다. 유리 섬유강화 스킨과 중합의 폼 코아를 갖는 비스티칭, 스티칭, 스티프너의 세 종류 시편이 사용되었다. 특히 스티칭 샌드위치 구조는 두께 방향에 대하여 폴리에스터와 유리섬유를 꼬아서 부가적인 구조 보강이 코아의 상하 표면을 통하여 꿰멘 구조로 층간분리를 최소화하기 위해 샌드위치 구조 패널을 스티칭하여 만들고 수지는 수지의 유동 온도에서 수지의 낮은 점도 특성을 이용하여 스티칭 섬유에 침투시켜 함께 경화하였다. 스티칭 섬유가 $50{\times}50{\;}mm$의 간격으로 스티칭된 시편 및 스티프너 시편의 굽힘강도는 비스티칭 시편과 비교하여 각각 50%및 10배 이상으로 향상되었다. 최대 하중의 20%크기로 $10^6$ 피로 사이클을 받은 후, 비스티칭 시편의 굽힘 피로강도는 정적 굽힘강도와 비교하여 27%까지 감소되었고, 스티칭된 시편은 39%,그리고 스티프너에 의하여 보강된 시편은 20%정도 감소되었다. 폴리우레탄 폼 코아의 에이징 효과를 입증하기 위해, 피로 시험 후 샌드위치 시편의 표면 적층의 손상은 초음파 C-scan장비를 사용하여 검출하였다. 초음파 C-scan결과로부터 피로 시험동안 손상 받은 어떤 결함도 없었다 이는 피로 사이클동안 폼 코아 샌드위치 구조에 대한 굽힘강도의 감소는 폴리우레탄 폼이 에이징되어 발생하는 것을 의미한다.

$TAO^{TM}$ System is an auto-heated thermophilic aerated digestion process using a proprietary microbe called as a Phototropic Bacteria (PTB). High metabolic activity results in heat generation, which enables to produce a pathogen-free and digested liquid fertilizer at short retention times. TAO$^{TM}$ system has been developed to reduce a manure volume and convert into the liquid fertilizer using swine manure since 1992. About 100 units have been installed and operated in Korean swine farms so far. TAO$^{TM}$ system consists of a reactor vessel and ejector-type aeration pumps and foam removers. The swine slurry manure enters into vessel with PTB and is mixed and aerated. The process is operated at detention times from 2 to 4 days and temperature of 55 to $65^{\circ}C$. Foams are occurred and broken down by foam removers to evaporate water contents. Generally, at least 30% of water content is evaporated, 99% of volatile fatty acids caused an odor are removed and pathogen destruction is excellent with fecal coliform, rotavirus and salmonella below detection limits. The effluent from TAO$^{TM}$ system, called as the "TAO EFFLUX", is screened and has superb properties as a fertilizer. Normally N-P-K contents of screened TAO Efflux are 4.7 g/L, 0.375 g/L and 2.8 g/L respectively. The fertilizer effect of TAO EFFLUX compared to chemical fertilizer has been demonstrated and studied with various crops such as rice, potato, cabbage, pumpkin, green pepper, parsley, cucumber and apple. Generally it has better fertilizer effects and excellent soil fertility improvement effects. Moreover, the TAO EFFLUX is concentrated through membrane technology without fouling problems for a cost saving of long distance transportation and a commercialization (crop nutrient commodity) to a gardening market, for example.
