This study was initiated to improve the cooling water quality by chemical coagulation and sedimentation in steel mills. Due to the inefficient flocculation in the settling tanks of blast furnace cooling water systems, the solid particles in the cooling water overflow accumulate and clog the cooling system. To protect the cooling water system from such fouling, proper flocculants must be continuously used. Laboratory tests were performed for the indirect cooling water system of a plate mill. The batch test in the gas scrubbing cooling water system of a blast furnace showed that the proposed coagulant was more effective for the improvement of coagulation and sedimentation than the existing one. During the tests, cationic flocculants were more effective than use of only an anionic flocculant. The suggested combination of anionic and cationic flocculants can probably improve the turbidity removal efficiency of the cooling water. Proper control of the overflow rate by the designed residence time would help turbidity removal efficiency in the settling tank. In addition, the settling can be enhanced by adopting rapid and slow mixing alternatively. Scale problems in blast furnace cooling water system were reduced to some extent by efficient settling.

This project sought to conduct an economic feasibility study regarding the commercial production of bio-hydrogen by the marine hyperthermophilic archaeon, Thermococcus onnurineus NA1 using carbon monoxide-containing industrial off-gas. We carried out the economic evaluation of the bio-hydrogen production process using the raw material of steel mill by-product gas. The process parameter was as follows: $H_2$ production rate was 5.6 L/L/h; the conversion of carbon monoxide was 60.7%. This project established an evaluation criterion for about 10,000 tonne/year. Inflation factors were considered as 3%. The operating costs were recalculated based on prices in 2014. The total investment required for development was covered 30% by capital and 70% by a loan. The operation cost for the 0.5-year test and integration, and the cost for the first three months in the 50% production period were considered as the working capital in the cost estimation. The costs required for the rental of office space, facilities, and other related costs from the construction through to full-scale production periods were considered as continuing expenses. Materials, energy, waste disposal and other charges were considered as the operating cost of the development system. Depreciation, tax, maintenance and repair, insurance, labor, interest rate charges, general and administrative costs, lubrication and miscellaneous expenses were also calculated. The hydrogen price was set at US$ 4.15/kg for the economic evaluation. As a result, the process was considered to be economical with the payback period of 6.3 years, NPV of 18 billion Won and IRR of 26.7%.

산성광상배수의 처리를 위한 중화제로서 제강 슬래그의 이용 가능성을 검토하였으며 석회석과의 성능을 비교하였다. 24시간 반응시킨 고정 실험에서는 슬래그가 석회석보다 높은 pH를 나타냈고 Fe. Al 및 기타 중금속에 우수한 제거효율을 보였다. 10일간 진행된 연속단계실험결과 역시 슬레그가 석회석보다 높은 pH를 유지하였고 Fe와 Al의 제거성능의 저하는 나타나지 않았으며 Ni, Co. Cu. Zn 모두 석회석보다 슬래그에서 휠씬 높은 제거효율을 보였다. 황산$({H_2}{SO_4})$으로 pH를 AMD와 동일하게 맞추고 중금속만을 인위적으로 첨가한 증류수(인공산 용액)와의 반응에서는 AMD와의 반응에서보다 중금속의 제거효율이 떨어졌는데, 이는 AMD내에 존재하는 Fe와 Al 산화물이 침전할 때 공침이나 흡착에 의해 중금속이 제거되는데 비해 인공적인 AMD에서는 이러한 효과가 없기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 슬래그의 크기별(5mm이하. 5~20 mm. 20 mm이상)실험에서는 슬래그의 크기가 작을수록 더 높은 pH 상승과 더 효과적인 금속들의 제거 성능을 보여 비표면적이 중요한 요인임을 제시하였다.

This paper proposes a DEA model for the performance evaluation of each brand of coking coals in an integrated steel mill. The performance is defined as the efficiency which is the ratio of two linear combinations of the output factors to the input factors. There is only one input factor considered in the model : unit price of each brand based on CIF. Five output factors are chosen in consideration of their impact to the quality of cokes such as Ash, VM, LMF, TD, and Rm. Some of the output factors are treated as undesirable in DEA model because the quality criteria are given by the range. The CCR and BCC efficiencies are derived by the DEA model, and the scale efficiency is calculated, too. Each brand of coking coal is classified into four categories according to the CCR and BCC efficiencies, and the most inferior brands are identified as a result. The impact of the input and output factors to the efficiency is analyzed using a multiple regression, then the unit price is revealed as the most critical among them. Also, ANOVA results show that there exist efficiency differences among the coal types and the countries imported, respectively. Finally, the quantitative projection for the inefficient brands is performed if they are to be efficient. The result could be utilized in selecting the good or bad brands of coking coal based on the efficiency in an integrated steel mill. Also, this model will be used to assess the relative efficiency of a new brand of coking coal if it is a candidate to be imported.

본 논문은 kaolinite(Al2O3.2SiO2.2H2O)-aluminum trihydroxide(Al(OH3) 혼합물을 소결전에 planetary ball mill을 사용하여 건식 중에서 혼합분쇄한 후, 이 혼합물을 사용하여 소결하는 동안에 mullite의 생성거동을 연구한 것이다. 혼합물의 입자크기 감소는 분쇄 초기에 현저하였으며, 분쇄기간이 증가함에 따라 미립자들이 응집하는 현상을 보였다. 혼합물의 결정구조는 planetary ball milling에 의한 혼합분쇄에 따라 쉽게 비정질화되었으며, 비정질화되는 정도는 분쇄시간이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. Kaolinite의 초기 분순물로 존재했던 anatase를 제외한 mullite상만이 상대적으로 낮은 소결온도인 1523K에서 혼합분쇄한 혼합물의 소결체에서 나타났다. 한편, 분쇄하지 않은 혼합물의 소결체의 경우는 이 온도에서 mullite 상 이외에 corundum, cristobalite, Al-Si spinel상이 공존하는 형태로 나타났다. 따라서, 혼합분쇄처리는 출발원료의 미소 규모에 있어서 균일혼합 및 분산을 촉진시키며, 또한 결정구조변화에 따른 열분해온도의 변화일으켜, 상대적으로 낮은 온도에서 고순도의 mullite를 직접 생성하는데 효과적이였다.

Generally, paper multilayering was performed before wet pressing process. However, sheets whose characteristics are different could be put together at the dry state by adhesives for the specialty paper products. In this paper, potential adhesives such as PVAc, oxidised starch, latex, and PVA were chosen and multilayering of several sheets was performed in laboratory scale. The effects of base paper properties and the composition of adhesives on the physical properties of multilayering paper were investigated. Physical properties such as bonding strength and stiffness were measured. For the practical reasons, mill trial was also executed. According to the result of laboratory tests and mill trial test, the physical properties of multilayered paper were greatly affected by the composition of adhesives and it was found that PVAc showed the best performance in all its aspects among four adhesives. Oxidised starch had an advantage of high stiffness and PVA gave high bonding strength to the multilayered paper. And it was also found that the properties of base paper showed the great influences not only on multilayering process, but also on the physical properties of the multilayered paper.

Fluorspar has been essential flux in steelmaking process. The main effects of fluorspar addition are lowering of the viscosity and melting temperature of slag. In recent years, due to the increasing price and environmental problem of fluorspar, various types of fluorspar substitute have been investigated. In this study, iron oxide by-products such as sinter dust, basic oxygen furnace (BOF) sludge and mill scale were developed as a substitute in terms of waste recycling. Several plant trials were carried out by addition of briquetted substitutes of $4{\sim}6$ kg/ton to compare with the fluorspar of $0.7{\sim}1$ kg/ton. The substitutes showed a similar behavior of slag formation, phosphorus removal and MgO saturation content.

As there is a growing trend to make high quality steel improving production efficiency and utilizing slag as resources the technologies of hot metal pretreatment have been progressed to meet these demands. Although mill scale $Na_2CO_3$ and CaO used as fluxes proved to be excellent agents then can severely corrode refractories such as chamotte and high alumina for torpedo or open ladle car. Thus it was considered necessary to develop new refractories which can endure suchy conditions. Desulfurization fluxes vastly used in POSCO are $CaCO_3$ and CaO Recent trials have been made by testing phenol resin bonded $Al_2O_3-SiC-C$ bricks in torpedo ladle car for hot metal pretreatment. The results showed that the life of this brick became about 1.2 times longer than that of foreign products. And the crushing strength M.O.R corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance were tested.
