This study investigates the complete removal of nitrate and the recovery of valuable ammonium salt by the combination of nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) and a membrane contactor system. The NZVI used for the experiments was prepared by chemical reduction without a stabilizing agent. The main end-product of nitrate reduction by NZVI was ammonia, and the solution pH was stably maintained around 10.5. Effective removal of ammonia was possible with the polytetrafluoroethylene membrane contactor system in all tested conditions. Among the various operation parameters including influent pH, concentration, temperature, and contact time, contact time and solution pH showed significant effects on the ammonia removal mechanism. Also, the osmotic distillation phenomena that deteriorate the mass transfer efficiency could be minimized by pre-heating the influent wastewater. The ammonia removal rate could be maximized by optimizing operation conditions and changing the membrane configuration. The combination of NZVI and the membrane contactor system could be a solution for nitrate removal and the recovery of valuable products.

Conductive ceramics are being developed to replace current Pt anodes in the electrolytic reduction of spent oxide fuels in pyroprocessing. While several conductive ceramics have shown promising electrochemical properties in small-scale experiments, their long-term stabilities have not yet been investigated. In this study, the chemical stability of conductive $La_{0.33}Sr_{0.67}MnO_3$ in $LiCl-Li_2O$ molten salt at $650^{\circ}C$ was investigated to examine its feasibility as an anode material. Dissolution of Sr at the anode surface led to structural collapse, thereby indicating that the lifetime of the $La_{0.33}Sr_{0.67}MnO_3$ anode is limited. The dissolution rate of Sr is likely to be influenced by the local environment around Sr in the perovskite framework.

A novel route to prepare Nd-Fe-B magnetic particles by utilizing both spray drying and reduction/diffusion processes was investigated in this study. Precursors were prepared by spray drying method using the aqueous solutions containing Nd salt, Fe salt and boric acid with stoichiometric ratios. Precursor particles could be obtained with various sizes from 2 to $10{\mu}m$ by controlling concentrations of the solutions and the average size of $2{\mu}m$ of precursors were selected for further steps. After heat treatment of precursors in air, Nd and Fe oxides were formed through desalting procedure, followed by reduction processes in Hydrogen ($H_2$) atmosphere and with Calcium (Ca) granules in Argon (Ar) successively. Moreover, diffusion between Nd and Fe occurred during Ca reduction and $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ particles were formed. With Ca amount added to particles after $H_2$ reduction, intrinsic coercivity was changed from 1 to 10 kOe. In order to remove and leach CaO and residual Ca, de-ionized water and dilute acid were used. Acidic solutions were more effective to eliminate impurities, but Fe and Nd were dissolved out from the particles. Finally, $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ magnetic particles were synthesized after washing in de-ionized water with a mean size of $2{\mu}m$ and their maximum energy product showed 9.23 MGOe.

Contamination of soil by deicing salt is among the important environment problems due to their toxicity and negative impact to human health and the environment. One of the effective methods for cleaning the soil from deicing salts is desalination using soil amendment-phytoremediation continuum treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine how much of the pH, EC control and Ca²⁺, Na⁺, Mg²⁺, and K⁺ taken up soil amendments and Miscanthus sinensis, and to evaluate the effect of salt reduction and growth improvement as affected by soil amendment in high concentration of calcium chloride (CaCl₂) deicing salts. Results indicated that the addition of soil amendments was decrease the EC and pH, also significantly reduce the leaching of Ca²⁺, Na⁺, Mg²⁺, K⁺, a chloride ions related deicing salts, compared to the control for CaCl₂ 10 g/L treatment. It also resulted in an enhanced plant growth and higher plant height, leaf length, leaf width, number of leaves, fresh weight and dry weight in Hydroball treatment + Miscanthus sinensis planting continuum treatment compared to the treatment that planted Miscanthus sinensis only. Therefore, we concluded that soil amendments might be attributed to an accumulation of deicing slats in the roadside soil, resulting in the improvement of Miscanthus sinensis growth.

소수성의 폴리에틸렌 다공성막 표면에 오염물질이 흡착됨으로써 발생되는 파울링 현상으로 인한 투과도 감소 문제를 해결하고자 함산소불소화법을 이용하여 막 표면을 친수화 하였다. 함산소불소화 처리 후 접촉각은 $93^{\circ}$에서 $50^{\circ}$까지 감소하였고, 수투과량은 60% 이상 증가하였다. 또한, 모델오염물질 Albumin (form bovine serum, BSA), Humic acid sodium salt (HA), Alginic acid sodium salt (SA) 100 ppm의 수용액을 이용하여 투과도 평가 실험을 수행한 결과 막이 친수화 됨에 따라 오염물질이 흡착되는 정도가 감소하여 투과도가 향상된 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 특히 SA에 대해서는 파울링 개선효과가 크게 나타나 처리하지 않은 PE막에 비해 투과도가 두 배 이상 향상된 값을 나타내었다.

The performance of Li-B alloy as anode for molten salt electrolysis was firstly investigated. The crystalline phase of the prepared Li-B alloy was identified as $Li_7B_6$. The potential profile of Li-B alloy anode was monitored during the electrodeposition of $Nd^{3+}$ onto an LCC (liquid cadmium cathode) in molten LiCl-KCl salt at $500^{\circ}C$. The potential of Li-B alloy was increased from -2.0 V to -1.4 V vs. Ag/AgCl by increasing the applied current from 10 to $50mA{\cdot}cm^{-2}$. It was found that not only the anodic dissolution of Li to $Li^+$ but also the dissolution of the atomic lithium ($Li^0$) into the LiCl-KCl eutectic salt was observed, following the concomitant reduction of $Nd^{3+}$ by the $Li^0$ in Li-B alloy. It was expected that the direct reduction could be restrained by maintaining the anode potential higher that the deposition potential of neodymium.

Processed meat products play a vital role in our daily dietary intake due to their rich protein content and the inherent convenience they offer. However, they often contain synthetic additives and ingredients that may pose health risks when taken excessively. This review explores strategies to improve meat product quality, focusing on three key approaches: substituting synthetic additives, reducing the ingredients potentially harmful when overconsumed like salt and animal fat, and boosting nutritional value. To replace synthetic additives, natural sources like celery and beet powders, as well as atmospheric cold plasma treatment, have been considered. However, for phosphates, the use of organic alternatives is limited due to the low phosphate content in natural substances. Thus, dietary fiber has been used to replicate phosphate functions by enhancing water retention and emulsion stability in meat products. Reducing the excessive salt and animal fat has garnered attention. Plant polysaccharides interact with water, fat, and proteins, improving gel formation and water retention, and enabling the development of low-salt and low-fat products. Replacing saturated fats with vegetable oils is also an option, but it requires techniques like Pickering emulsion or encapsulation to maintain product quality. These strategies aim to reduce or replace synthetic additives and ingredients that can potentially harm health. Dietary fiber offers numerous health benefits, including gut health improvement, calorie reduction, and blood glucose and lipid level regulation. Natural plant extracts not only enhance oxidative stability but also reduce potential carcinogens as antioxidants. Controlling protein and lipid bioavailability is also considered, especially for specific consumer groups like infants, the elderly, and individuals engaged in physical training with dietary management. Future research should explore the full potential of dietary fiber, encompassing synthetic additive substitution, salt and animal fat reduction, and nutritional enhancement. Additionally, optimal sources and dosages of polysaccharides should be determined, considering their distinct properties in interactions with water, proteins, and fats. This holistic approach holds promise for improving meat product quality with minimal processing.

용융염 전해 채취 공정에서 가장 중요한 경제 지표 중 하나는 에너지 원단위(kwh/kg of metal)이다. 이는 외부로 손실되는 에너지와 전류 효율에 관련된다. 전류 효율은 전해온도에 의해 크게 좌우된다. 한편 염욕의 온도는 전해 초기에 염욕의 열수지 차이로 인해 급격히 상승하여 처음에 목표했던 전해온도와 상이해질 수 있다. 염욕의 의도치 않은 온도 변화는 전류 효율에 악 영향을 미친다. 따라서 전해 초기를 대상으로 열수지 검토를 통해 염욕의 온도 변화에 대한 계산치와 실측치를 비교해 보고 외부로 손실되는 에너지를 평가하는 것은 에너지 원단위를 줄이는 데 도움이 될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 저자들의 실험 데이터를 이용하여 용융염 전해 채취 중의 열수지에 대해 검토하였으며 이를 통해 외부로의 열 손실과 염욕의 온도 상승을 정량적으로 평가할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 방법을 통하면 열 손실을 줄일 수 있는 방안을 도출하고 전해온도를 제어하여 전류 효율을 제고시킴으로써 에너지 원단위를 줄일 수 있다.

$Li_2O$-LiCl 용융염을 이용한 전해환원기술은 사용후핵연료로부터 우라늄 금속을 회수하기 위해 연구되고 있다. 이 전해환원기술에서는 $Li_2O$가 촉매로 이용되기 때문에 그 농도를 유지하는 것은 매우 중요한 운전인자이다. $ZrO_2$는 피복관의 주성분이 Zr이기 때문에 사용후핵연료에 불가피하게 함유되며, 본 연구에서는 $Li_2O$를 촉매로 이용하는 전해환원공정에서 $ZrO_2$의 거동을 살펴보았다. $Li_2O$와 $ZrO_2$의 화학반응과 전해환원공정 중에서의 생성물을 분석한 결과, $Li_2ZrO_3$와 $Li_4ZrO_4$가 주요하게 관찰되었고, 이는 $Li_2O$의 손실을 가져오는 원인이 된다. 즉, $ZrO_2$는 $Li_2O$를 소모하는 역할을 하며, 반응생성물은 전기화학적으로 안정하기 때문에 $Li_2O$의 손실이 불가피하게 된다.
