The control of microstructure is critical for the porous fuel particles used for infiltrating actinide nuclides. This study concerns the effect of heating processes on properties and microstructure of the fuel particles. The uniform gel precursor beads were synthesized by a microfluidic sol-gel process and then the porous $CeO_2$ microspheres, as a surrogate for the ceramic nuclear fuel particles, were obtained by heating treatment of the gel precursors. The fabricated $CeO_2$ microspheres have a narrow size distribution and good sphericity due to the feature of microfluidics. The effects of heating processes parameters, such as heating mode and peak temperatures on the properties of microspheres were studied in detail. An optimized heating mode and the peak temperature of $650^{\circ}C$ were selected to produce porous $CeO_2$ microspheres. The optimized heating mode can avoid the appearance of broken or crack microspheres in the heating process, and as-prepared porous microspheres were of suitable pore size distribution and pore volume for loading minor actinide (MA) solution by an infiltration method that is used for fabrication of MA-bearing nuclear fuel beads. After the infiltration process, $1000^{\circ}C$ was selected as the final temperature to improve the compressive strength of microspheres.

해수의 흐름이 존재하는 방조제 제체 보강공사 시 가장 큰 문제는 재료의 유출로, 콘크리트의 중력식 타설은 원활히 공극을 채우기 어렵고 굳지 않은 콘크리트의 시멘트는 해수에 분산될 확률이 높기 때문에 경화 후 품질의 신뢰성이 저하될 뿐만 아니라, 인근 환경에 악역향을 끼칠 수 있다. 이에 주입이 가능한 겔형태의 주입재가 필요하다, 본 연구에서는 급결성을 띠는 전기로환원슬래그 및 고로슬래그를 활용하여 초기 강도와 해수 침지에 따른 내구성 향상 효과를 평가하였다, 실험 결과 실리카계 약액과의 반응을 통해 흐름성을 갖는 겔형태의 주입재 제조가 가능하였으며 겔의 흐름성은 배합에 따라 105~143 mm 수준으로 현장모사 시험을 통해 외부 유출 없이 공극을 채울 수 있어 현장 적용성을 확인하였다.

생리적 기능을 가지며 식품뿐만 아니라 광범위한 분야에서 이용되고 있는 한천을 시료로, 용융점을 인위적으로 낮추어 상변화에 필요한 열전이를 감소시킴으로서 이용을 간편화하기 위하여, 분무 건조 (spray dry) 및 압출 성형 (extrusion)과 같은 건조 방법이 한천의 물리 화학적 변화에 미치는 영향에 대하여 검토한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 압출성형 건조한천이 다른 건조 방법의 한천보다 겔 강도가 낮았고, 점도는 열풍건조 한천이 $45^{\circ}C$에서 400.000ps로 가장 높았으며 다른 건조방법의 한천은 변화가 거의 없었다. 용융점과 응고점 그리고 흡열최대 온도 및 엔탈값은 압출성형 건조 한천이 다른 건조방법의 한천보다 낮았으며, 그 값은 각각 $80.01^{\circ}C,\;36.05^{\circ}C,\;61.72^{\circ}C$ 그리고 0.73cal/g이었다. 그러나, 겔화후에 재가열한 경우는 건조방법에 따른 이들 값의 차이는 없었다. 주사 전자현미경 (SEM)으로 한천의 표면 구조를 관찰한 결과는 압출 성형 건조 한천이 수분침투가 용이한, 가장 불안정한 구조를 하고 있었다. 이상의 결과로 부터, 한천을 완전히 용해한 졸 상태에서 분무 건조나 압출 성형 건조로 수분을 급속히 제거하여 건조시키면, 한천 본래의 물리 화학적 및 물성적 특성이 변화하여 용해되기 쉬운 상태로 전환되며, 이 특성을 이용하면 식품의 특성에 적합한 물성을 갖는 한천의 제조가 가능하리라고 생각된다.

We determined the optimum pretreatment conditions such as pH and time for swelling duck feet and investigated the effects of the extracting method, such as water bath (WB), pressure cooker (PC), and microwave oven (MO), on quality characteristics of the duck feet gelatin for improving utilization of duck feet as a novel source of gelatin. The soaking solution of pH 1 among pH 1-14 with unit intervals was selected due to the highest yield. The quality characteristics of the gelatin tested were color, pH, gel strength, viscosity, and melting point. For the extracted gelatin with different methods, the CIE $L^*$, $a^*$ and $b^*$ values were in the following order: MO>PC>WB (p<0.05), WB>PC>MO (p<0.05) and PC>MO>WB (p<0.05), respectively. The gelatin extracted using WB showed the highest pH and that extracted using MO showed the lowest pH (p<0.05). The gel strength, viscosity, and melting point were the highest for MO (p<0.05). The gel strength and melting point were the lowest for PC (p<0.05). No significant difference was found in viscosity between the gelatins extracted using WB and PC (p>0.05). The quality characteristic of duck feet gelatin was affected by extracting methods, and MO extraction can be one of the effective methods for duck feet gelatin.

The effect of sodium gluconic acid on the collapsability of the sodium silicate type $CO_2$ mold was studied. The bending strength was saturated with gassing $CO_2$ for 60 sec. under $1kg/cm^2$ and with the flow rate of $10\;{\ell}\;/min$. It was decreased with aging after having been fully hardened. The retained strength was reduced in the heating temperature range of $100{\sim}1,100^{\circ}C$ and the retained strength peak near the heating temperature of $100^{\circ}C$ was removed by the effect of the sodium gluconic acid. Silica gel, $Na_2CO_3$ and dehydrated sodium silicates were formed from the binder of sodium silicate with the addition of sodium gluconic acid at the heating temperature of $100^{\circ}C$. $Na_4SiO_4$ was formed by the reaction of $Na_2O$, from decomposed $Na_2CO_3$, with the dehydrated sodium silicate at $500^{\circ}C$. The crystobalite type of $SiO_2$ was formed at $900^{\circ}C$. The sodium gluconic acid had no effect on the bending strength at around $1,100^{\circ}C$ due to the combustion loss of it.

The development of a binder system with a lower carbon footprint as an alternative to Portland cement has been intensely researched. In the present study, alkali-activated fly ash exposed to carbon dioxide at an early age was characterized in compressive strength tests and by MIP, XRD and FT-IR analyses. The compressive strength of carbonated specimens experienced a dramatic increase in comparison to uncarbonated specimens. The microstructural densification of the carbonated specimens was evidenced by MIP. The XRD pattern showed peaks assigned to nahcolite, indicating that the pH was lower in the carbonated specimens. Under the carbon dioxide-rich environment, the aluminosilicate gel reached a more Si-rich state, which improved the mechanical properties of the alkali-activated fly ash.

Autoclaved lightweight concrete (ALC), also known as autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC), is a lightweight, precast building material that simultaneously provides structure, insulation. ALC is a unique building material. Because of its cellular nature, it is lightweight, self-insulating, as well as sound and fireproof. ALC products include blocks, wall panels, floor and roof panels, and lintels. Recently, the use of ALC has became increasingly popular. However, ALC have high water absorption, low compressive strength and popout the origin of the low surface strength in its properties. Thus, this study is to improve the fundamental strength by controls of increasing of admixtures and chemical reactants. Admixtures make use of meta kaolin and silica fume, chemical reactants make use of sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide. From the test result, the ALC using admixtures and chemical reactants have a good fundamental properties compared with plain ALC. These good fundamental properties is caused by the admixtures and chemical reactants of ALC by the reason of the micro filling effect and chemical binding of C-S-H gel, tobermolite and quartz.

To investigate the optimum conditions of seaweed Mooks prepared with sea mustard (Indaria pinnatifida) and sea tangel(Laminaria japonica), pH, viscosity , yield and jelly strength were studied on the sol and /or gel (Mook ) made from homogenized seaweeds. Solubilization conditions of homogenized seaweeds were heating at $65^{\circ}C$ for one hour after mixing homogenized seaweed with 1 % $K_2$HPO$_4$ by 1 ; 1 (v/v) . Gelation conditions were 24 hrs by natural permeation of Ca++ into the sol in three times (v/v) of 1 % CaCl$_2$ solution to solubilized seaweed passed through 60 mesh of sieve. There are generally no relationship between viscosity of solubilized seaweed and jelly strength of Mook produced by gelation of the sol in CaCl$_2$ solution . Jelly strength of sea mustard Mook was more than 500g/$\textrm{cm}^2$ , yield was 87.5% of the solubilized and filtrated seaweed . Jelly strength and specific gravity of sea tangle Mook were higher those of sea mustard Mook, while its yield was lower than that of sea mustard Mook.

An alkaline activator was synthesized by dissolving waste glass powder (WGP) in NaOH-4M solution to explore its effects on the Class-C fly ash (FA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) based alkali-activated material (AAM). The compressive strength and porosity were measured, and (SEM-EDX) were used to study the hydration mechanism and microstructure. Results indicated that the composition of alkali solutions was significant in enhancing the properties of the obtained AAM. As the amount of dissolved WGP increased in alkaline solution, the silicon concentration increased, causing the accelerated reactivity of FA/GGBS to develop Ca-based hydrate gel as the main reaction product in the system, thereby increasing the strength. Further increase in WGP dissolution led to strength loss, which were believed to be due to the excessive water demand of FA/GGBS composites to achieve optimum mixing consistency. Increasing the GGBS proportion in a composite also appeared to improve the strength which contributed to develop C-S-H-type hydration.
