Continuous operation for 24h was carried out to establish the optimum condition at the magnesium fused salt electrolysis using a self made 150 ampere mono-polar type cell. An electrolyte composition of $MgCl_2$ 25%, NaCl 55%, $CaCl_2$ 19%, $CaF_2$ 1% was electrolyzed with applied voltage 7V, cathode current density $0.7-0.75A/cm^2$, electrode distance 6cm at $720{\sim}740^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. Changes of applied current, composition of the electrolyte, current efficiency were investigated. Through the experiments, there were not any operating troubles with the self-made electrolytic cell. Purity of the electrolyzed magnesium metal was above 99%, and 89% of current efficiency was achieved. Some basic data for scale-up of the magnesium electrolysis equipment which would be necessary for commercialization were obtained.

In this study, physical property evaluation and physical separation of the target product were performed to investigate the possibility of using sewage sludge gasification solid residue (GSRs) as a circulating resource. Firstly, the GSRs used in this study was supplied by Sudokwon Landfill Management Corporation, and generally the GSRs was in the form of porous pellets with a particle size of several millimetres. In addition, the partially black areas were confirmed to be unburned and ungasified carbon, and the average carbon content was 5%. In addition, the content of silica, alumina and phosphorus oxide was more than 70% of the total content. It was confirmed that the metallic components of the wet grinding product were separated into individual elements. As a physical separation of metallic and non-metallic components was required, it was finally found that flotation screening was suitable. Accordingly, cationic and anionic surfactants were selected to separate metallic components in which a relatively large amount of non-metallic components were concentrated, and the separation characteristics were confirmed. As a result, it is expected that the concentration of non-metallic components such as silica, alumina and phosphorus will be easier than the separation of metallic components. Therefore, since it is possible to physically treat the gasified sludge residue, it is judged to have potential as a circular resource according to the proposed recycling method for the separated product.

Several volcanic activities have continued in Mt. Baekdu since the Millennium eruption, and these phenomena have increased the need for volcanic activity surveillance. Various geophysical approaches are needed to obtain the depth and size of magma chamber that lie several kilometers below the surface. We examined the applicability of direct-current resistivity survey in this study. In order to explore the deep magma chamber of Mt. Baekdu, which has a spatial limitation due to the borderline, a large-scale survey with a length of tens of kilometers should be conducted. This type of survey requires a distributed measurement system and optimized exploration designs. Therefore, we propose survey designs taking advantage of our developed distributed acquisition system and analyze the applicability using numerical simulation. We confirmed that our designs that use single survey line with offline transmitting points show comparable results to the conventional 3D survey. It is expected that our research result can contribute to the deep geophysical exploration in Mt. Baekdu.

실리콘 잉고트의 절단공정에서 발생하는 폐실리콘 슬러지는 실리콘과 실리콘카바이드 등의 유가자원이 함유되어 있으며, 이 중 실리콘 분말은 실리콘 화합물인 알콕시실란 등을 제조하는데 원료로 사용이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 폐실리콘 슬러지로부터 분리, 합성된 사에 톡시실란(TEOS)을 원료로 이용하여 실리카 나노분말을 합성하였다. TEOS 원료물질을 외부 혼합형 이류체 노즐을 이용하여 미세액적으로 분무하고 화염 속으로 도입시키고 화염열분해 반응을 진행시켜 실리카 나노분말을 합성하였다. 합성된 실리카 나노입자의 특성은 투과형 전자현미경 및 BET에 의하여 입자형상 및 평균 입자크기가 분석되었다. 주요 공정변수인 분산공기의 압력, 반응가스의 조성을 변화시켜 실험한 결과 평균크기가 $9{\sim}68nm$인 실리카 나노분말을 제조하였다.

Circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) ash is one of useful mineralogical resources having abundant content of free lime and anhydrite, and has a self-cementitious property. Recently, considerable interest has been gained regarding the utilization of CFBC ash, along with its use in mine backfill and reclamation. Prior to adopt the use of CFBC ash in the mine backfill technology, discussion on the technology and related specification is prerequisite in the future. This paper presents a review on studies in the emerging technology of CFBC ash utilization, and provides useful information with regard to the specifications for mine backfills utilizing CFBC ash.

Focused in the characteristic of R&D on Geoscience and Mineral Resources as basic research area, we survey on methods of public works' economic impact analysis including cost-benefit analysis and resent technology evaluation methods and suggest apply-methods to conduct economic impact analysis on R&D of geoscience and mineral resources. To conduct economic impact analysis on the basic research area, it need to identification research's out-come not just output. In this perspective, we propose a method, Input-Output-Outcome Roadmapping to identify the outcome of R&D and show the relation of input, output, and outcome of R&D. Furthermore, noticing the different effects of R&D from public works, we directly evaluate the use-value of the academic theory or geological maps through Contingent Valuation Method(CVM) and others developed as evaluation methods on environmental goods. In indirect application methods, it can evaluate the partial of the pubic works' benefit with assuming R&D factors if R&D is a part of public works. If not, we evaluate the R&D's value as reductions of costs or additions of benefit with finding related public works.

In the present paper, we review recycling and applications of titanium binary alloy scraps. The recycling techniques are to successfully prepare low oxygen content ingots using hydrogen plasma arc melting (HPAM) and to produce low oxygen content titanium alloy powders by Hydrogenation-dehydrogenation (HDH) and Deoxidation in solid state (DOSS) process. In addition, as applications of the titanium binary alloy scraps, Ti based solid-solution carbide powders, which would be used for producing Ti based solid-solution cermets with high toughness, were prepared using the titanium binary alloy scraps. These results confirmed that the titanium alloy scraps could be recycled and refined using the HPAM. The resulting oxygen content of the titanium alloy powders were below 1,000 ppm after powderizing. Finally, we had confirmed that the refined titanium alloy powders were able to be utilized as raw materials for preparing the toughened cermets.

Smectites were synthesized from Na-P type and Na-A type zeolites by the hydrothermal synthetic method, and their physicochemical properties were studied. The optimal synthetic conditions for producing smectite were $290^{\circ}C$, 72 hr and $75{\sim}100kgf/cm^2$ in autogenous pressure. pHs of initial reaction solutions for the synthesis of smectites from Na-P type and Na-A type zeolite s were pH 6 and pH 10, respectively. The synthetic smectite was confirmed as $12{\AA}$-beidellite by a series of analysis such as X-ray diffraction analysis with random and oriented mounts, ethylene glycol treatment, and Greene-Kelly test, and their several physicochemical properties were studied.
