Fe-Si-Cr ferroalloy is predominantly produced by carbothermic reduction. In this study, silicothermic and carbothermic mixed reduction of chromite ore to produce Fe-Si-Cr alloy is suggested. As reductants, silicon and silicon carbide are evaluated by thermochemical calculations, which prove that silicon carbide can be applied as a raw material. Considering the critical temperature of the change from the carbide to the metallic form of chromium, thereduction experiments were carried out. In these high temperature reactions, silicon and silicon carbide act as effective reductants to produce Fe-Si-Cr ferroalloy. However, at temperatures lower than the critical temperature, silicon carbide shows a slow reaction rate for reducing chromite ore. For the proper implementation of a commercial process that uses silicon carbide reductants, the operation temperature should be kept above the critical temperature. Using equilibrium calculations for chromite ore reduction with silicon and silicon carbide, the compositions of reacted metal and slag were successfully predicted. Therefore, the mass balance of the silicothermic and carbothermic mixed reduction of chromite ore can be proposed based on the calculations and the experimental results.

세포외 중합체(EPS)의 존재 유무에 따라 Pseudomonas aeruginosa가 용존 비소, 크롬, 우라늄의 흡착 및 산화상태의 변화에 미치는 영향을 회분식 실험을 통해 조사하였다. 배양한 미생물의 표면을 세척한 것과 세척하지 않은 것으로 구분하여 무영양 상태에서 1.1 mg/L의 As(V)와 Cr(VI), 0.5 mg/L의 U(VI)와 반응시키며 시간에 따라 각각의 총 용존 함량과 산화상태 변화를 측정하였다. As(V)의 경우 EPS 존재 여부와 관계없이 흡착은 발생하지 않았으나 EPS가 보존된 박테리아는 As(V)의 약 60%를 As(III)로 환원하였다. 표면을 세척하지 않은 박테리아는 총 용존 크롬의 45%를 제거하였으며 잔류된 용존 크롬의 64%를 Cr(III)로 환원하였다. 우라늄의 경우, 박테리아 표면을 세척하지 않았을 때 U(VI)의 약 80% 이상이 용액으로부터 제거되었다. 이러한 원소 환원은 박테리아가 분비한 EPS 자체의 환원 능력 또는 EPS로부터 보호받아 생육성이 보존된 박테리아의 해독성 환원에 의한 것으로 여겨진다. 이 연구 결과는 자연 환경에서 대부분 바이오필름 상태로 존재하는 미생물이 비소, 크롬, 우라늄의 산화상태 및 이동도 조절에 지대한 영향을 미칠 수도 있음을 의미한다.

회분식 및 연속류 주상 실험을 통해 인공 조제 지하수로부터 입상활성탄에 의한 6가크롬 (Cr(VI)) 제거에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 실험에 적용된 변수로는 용액의 pH, 용존산소의 존재여부를 사용하였고 2가철(Fe(II))로 활성탄을 전처리한 것을 처리하지 않은 활성탄과 그 결과를 비교하였다. 용액의 pH를 4.0에서 7.5로 증가 시킴에 따라 무처리 및 Fe(II)로 전처리한 활성탄 모두에 흡착된 Cr(VI)의 양이 현저히 감소하였다. 용존산소가 배제 (무산소조건) 되었을 경우 Cr(VI) 제기량이 증가하였는데, 이는 Cr(VI)의 Cr(III)로의 환원 때문으로 추측된다. 그러나, Fe(II)에 의한 활성탄의 전처기는 Cr(Vl)제거에 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다 흡착된 Cr(VI)를 추출하기위해 0.01M $K_2$$HPO_4$와 침전 또는 흡착된 Cr(III)를 제거하기위해 0.02N $K_2$$HPO_4$로 세척하였는데, 이는 Cr(VI)로 흡착능이 고갈된 활성탄 재생의 한 방법으로 고려될 수 있으리라 사료된다. 재생된 활성탄은 본래의 활성탄보다 큰 흡착능을 보였는데, 그 이유는 Cr(VI)가 낮은 pH에서 흡착이 잘되며 또 Cr(III)로 환원되기 때문으로 사료된다. 산세척수중의 Cr(III)의 존재는 비교적 산성 조건하에서 Cr(VI)의 Cr(III)로의 환원을 보여주는 증거로 사료된다. 5회의 재생 및 재사용 실험에서 이 재생방법이 흡착능을 악화시키는 것 없이 지속적으로 사용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

This paper focuses on the pilot-scale investigation of direct recycling of electric arc furnace (EAF) stainless steelmaking dust. The direct recycling of EAF dust is to make pellets with the mixture of the dust and the reducing agent carbon, then introduce the pellets to the EAF. The valuable metals in the dust are reduced and get into the steel as the alloying elements. Experiments simulating direct recycling in an EAF were performed using an induction furnace. But it seems difficult to reduce all metal oxides in the dust so that some metal reducing agents added in the late stage of reduction process. The valuable metals in the dust were reduced partly by carbon and partly by metal reducing agent for the economical concern. The recovery of iron, chromium and nickel from the flue dust and the amount of metal oxides in the slag were measured. The results showed that the direct recycling of EAF stainless steelmaking dust is practicable. It wes also found that direct recycling of flue EAF stainless steelmaking dusts does not affect the chemistry and quality of stainless steel produced in the EAF. It is benefit not only for the environmental protection but also for the recovery of valuable metal resources in this way.

To set up a kinetic model that can provide a theoretical basis for developing a new mathematical model of the Cr(VI) biosorption column using brown seaweed Ecklonia biomass, a differential reactor system was used in this study. Based on the fact that the removal process followed a redox reaction between Cr(VI) and the biomass, with no dispersion effect in the differential reactor, a new mathematical model was proposed to describe the removal of Cr(VI) from a liquid stream passing through the differential reactor. The reduction model of Cr(VI) by the differential reactor was zero order with respect to influent Cr(IlI) concentration, and first order with respect to both the biomass and influent Cr(VI) concentrations. The developed model described well the dynamics of Cr(VI) in the effluent. In conclusion, the developed model may be used for the design and performance prediction of the biosorption column process for Cr(VI) detoxification.

PURPOSE. The objectives of the current study were to estimate the influence of self-reinforced hollow structures with a graded density on the dimensional accuracy, weight, and mechanical properties of Co-Cr objects printed with the direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Sixty-five dog-bone samples were manufactured to evaluate the dimensional accuracy of printing, weight, and tensile properties of DMLS printed Co-Cr. They were divided into Group 1 (control) (n = 5), Group 2, 3, and 4 with incorporated hollow structures based on (spherical, elliptical, and diamond) shapes; they were subdivided into subgroups (n = 5) according to the volumetric reduction (10%, 15%, 20% and 25%). Radiographic imaging and microscopic analysis of the fractographs were conducted to validate the created geometries; the dimensional accuracy, weight, yield tensile strength, and modulus of elasticity were calculated. The data were estimated by one-way ANOVA and Duncan's tests at P < .05. RESULTS. The accuracy test showed an insignificant difference in the x, y, z directions in all printed groups. The weight was significantly reduced proportionally to the reduced volume fraction. The yield strength and elastic modulus of the control group and Group 2 at 10% volume reduction were comparable and significantly higher than the other subgroups. CONCLUSION. The printing accuracy was not affected by the presence or type of the hollow geometry. The weight of Group 2 at 10% reduction was significantly lower than that of the control group. The yield strength and elastic modulus of the Group 2 at a 10% reduction showed means equivalent to the compact objects and were significantly higher than other subgroups.

코발트-크롬 합금은 다양한 치과보철물 제작에 이용되고 있고, 다른 합금에 비해 저렴한 가격과 우수한 기계적 특성이 장점이다. 최근, 기존 제작 방식의 단점을 극복하기 위해 적층제조 방식인 선택적 레이저 용융 방법이 보철물 제작에 이용되고 있다. 선택적 레이저 용융 방법의 공정 중 급속 가열과 냉각 과정은 제작된 합금의 미세구조와 결정립을 미세화하고, 기포를 감소시켜 기존 제작 방식에 의한 합금에 비해 기계적 특성을 향상시킨다. 반면, 적층과 급속 가열 및 냉각은 다량의 잔류응력 축적을 초래하는데, 추후 기계적 특성에 악영향을 미칠 수 있다. 따라서, 잔류응력을 제거하기 위해 주로 열처리를 시행하고, 회복과 재결정화에 의한 잔류응력의 감소뿐만 아니라 상변태, 석출물 및 미세구조의 균질화가 동반되어 기계적 특성의 복잡한 변화가 나타난다. 본 문헌고찰에서 코발트-크롬 합금의 제작 방식 비교 및 선택적 레이저 용융 방법으로 제작된 합금의 특징에 대해 알아보고자 한다.

In this study, a remedial investigation using reductive stabilization was conducted to treat Cr(VI)-contaminated soil. The influences of various operational parameters, including reaction time and the mass of ferrous iron, were also evaluated. The study site was contaminated with a large amount of Cr(III) and Cr(VI), and the selected treatment method was to stabilize Cr(VI) with ferrous iron, which reduced Cr(VI) to Cr(III) and stabilized the chromium, although a greater mass of ferrous iron than the stoichiometric amount was required to stabilize the Cr(VI). However, some Cr(III) re-oxidized to Cr(VI) during the drying process, and addition of a strong reducing agent was required to maintain reducing conditions. With this reducing agent, the treated soil met the required regulatory standard, and the mass of Cr(III) re-oxidized to Cr(VI) was significantly reduced, compared to the use of only Fe(II) as a reducing agent.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate a new sampling and analytical method for the determination of hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI) in mist from field plating operation. The Procedures of this new method (Shin & Paik's Method) are as the following: Airborne hexavalent chromium is collected on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) filter according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Method 7600, and the filter sample is placed in a screw-capped vial and soaked with 2％ NaOH/3％ Na₂CO₃ solution immediately after sampling. The Cr(VI) sample is analyzed by ion chromatography/visible spectrophotometry (IC/VS) according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method 218.6. The airborne Cr(VI) concentrations measured by this method were compared with those determined by three reference methods: One (NIOSH/EPA Method) consisted of sampling airborne Cr(VI) on PVC filters and storing the sample filters in screw-capped vials according to the NIOSH method, and analyzing Cr(VI) in samples using IC/VS according to the EPA method. The second method (Impinger Method/NaHCO₃) consisted of absorbing airborne Cr(VI) into 0.02 MN/sub a/Hco₃ solution in midget impinger, and analyzing the Cr(VI) in samples using IC/VS. The third method was the OSHA Method Id-215. Using these four different methods, four replicates of air samples were collected at an electroplating process and analyzed simultaneously. Two-way ANOVA and Paired t-test were used to test difference among values determined by the methods. There was no significant difference and a strong correlation (r/sup 2/=0.99) between Cr(VI) concentrations measured by the shin & Paik's Method and an impinger method (p＞0.05). However, Cr(VI) concentrations determined by Shin & Paik's Method were Significantly different form those by the NIOSH/EPA Method (p＜0.05) or the OSHA method (p＜0.05). The Cr(VI) concentrations of Shin & Paik's Method were Significantly higher than those of the NIOSH/EPA Method or the OSHA method. We concluded that the Shin & Paik's Method could prevent Cr(VI) losses caused by reduction and give more reliable results of airborne Cr(VI) concentrations in work environments.

After thermal aging treatment at 693 K for 322 hours, any discernable precipitation could not be found in the $13{\sim}22$ Cr ODS steels, but showing an increase in SP-DBTT and reduction in upper shelf energy. The degree of aging embrittlement increases with Cr content such that the increases in SP-DBTT are 10, 50 and 73 K in 13, 16 and 19 Cr ODS steel, respectively. Amount of hardening also increased linearly as a function of Cr content. Based on the TEM observation, the origin of hardening must be related to the invisibly fine size of Cr-rich ${\acute{\alpha}}-phase$ (<1 nm).
