The out-of-pile mechanical performance and microstructure of recrystallized Zr-1.5 Nb-S alloy was investigated. The strength of the recrystallized Zr-1.5Nb-O-S alloys was observed to increase with the addition of sulfur over a wide temperature range, from room temperature up to $300^{\circ}C$. A yield drop and stress serrations due to dynamic strain were observed at room temperature and $300^{\circ}C$. Wavy and curved dislocations and loosely knit tangles were observed after strained to 0.07 at room temperature, suggesting that cross slip is easier. At $300^{\circ}C$, however, dislocations were observed to be straight and aligned along the slip plane, suggesting that cross slip is rather difficult. At $300^{\circ}C$, oxygen atoms are likely to exert a drag force on moving dislocations, intensifying the dynamic strain aging effect. Oxygen atoms segregated at partial dislocations of a screw dislocation with the edge component may hinder the cross slip, resulting in the rather straight dislocations distributed on the major slip planes. Recrystallized Zr-Nb-S alloys exhibited ductile fracture surfaces, supporting the beneficial effect of sulfur in zirconium alloys. Oxidation resistance in air was also found to be improved with the addition of sulfur in Zr-1.5 Nb-O alloys.

Recently, incidences of pulmonary-related diseases are increasing and natural ecosystem is destroyed year by year owing to air pollutions by industrial noxious gases such as sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide, etc. Sulfur dioxide produced by oxidation of sulfur compounds is water soluble and causes several kinds of pulmonary diseases, damaging on plants and animals. This study was undertaken to investigate effects of acute exposure of rats to sulfur dioxide using biochemical parameters. The sAST (aspartate transaminase) activity was not significantly affected but sALT (alanine transaminase), sLDH (lactate dehydrogenase) and sALP (alkaline phosphatase) activities were significantly increased by acute sulfur dioxide gas exposure. Also sulfur dioxide gas treatment significantly diminished serum cholinesterase activity. The total lipid, triglyceride, total-, HDL- and LDL-cholesterol contents were significantly increased by sulfur dioxide gas exposures. But the body and liver weight were generally diminished in comparison with control group. Our results' showed increased enzyme activities and lipid contents, but body and liver weight were all diminished by sulfur dioxide gas treatment.

아적장에서의 석탄의 탈황 가능성을 조사하기 위하여 Thiobacllus ferrooxidans를 이용한 탈황특성을 연구하였다. 배지의 배수를 고려할 때 야적장에서 미생물 탈황공정을 적용하기 위해서는 석탄입자 크기가 1mm 이상이어야 하고, 균일한 입자분포가 요구됨을 확인하였다. 1~2mm의 입자층과 2~4mm의 입자층에서의 약 70일 동안에 24%와 42%의 pyrite를 제거할 수 있었다. 두 석탄 입자층의 탈황속도는 각락 248mg S/kg coal.day (5,638mg S/kg pyritic-S.day)와 803mg S/kg coal.day(6,805mg S/kg pyritic-S,day)로 현탁배양의 약 15~25%로 낮았다. 석탄층에 액체배지를 순환하지 않고 단지 T.ferrooxidans의 접종만으로도 석탄의 표층부에서는 탈황이 가능하였다. 석탄을 야적장 등에 장기간 보관하는 동안에 고유황 석탄으로부터 미생물 탈황공정을 응용하여 부분적인 pyritic sulfur의 제거가 가능한 것을 알 수 있었다.

Fossil fuels such as coal and crude oil contain various organic sulfur compounds. Combustion of these fuels emit sulfur oxides which are considered as msjor air pollutants causing acid rain problem. Among various organic sulfur compounds, aromatic sulfur compounds of thiophenes which constitute major sulfur fractions of heavy oils are not easily removed by hydrodesulfurization. Many peroxidase and hemoproteins are known to oxidize dibenzothiophene (DBT) to dibenzothiophene-sulfoxide(DBT - sulfoxide) then dibenzothiophene- sulfone (DBT-sulfone). The oxidation of DBT by the immobilized hemoproteins in n-octane was increased significantly when the hemoproteins were deposited on celites of the particle size between 0.75 - 1.0 mm and a conventional substrates. such as t-butyl hydroperoxide and cumene hydroperoxide. In anhydrous organic solvents with log P values larger than 4.0 DBT was completely oxidized by cumene hydroperoxide catalyzed by cytochrome c deposited on celites.

원자력산업에서의 지르코늄합금 튜브 제조공정은 튜브 산세 시 질산과 불산을 사용하고 있어 세척 시 발생되는 폐수의 주요 오염물질은 질산성질소와 불소성분으로 이루어져 있다. 오염물질인 불소와 질산성질소의 처리를 위해, 다양한 실험을 거쳐 처리기술을 검토한 결과를 토대로, 당사의 폐수처리공정은 1차 화학응집처리에 의한 불소성분 제거공정, 황산화 탈질반응을 이용한 SOD (Sulfur Oxidation Denitrification)공법에 의한 독립영양탈질공정, 2차 화학응집처리공정으로 구성하여 운영하고 있다. 본 폐수처리공정의 특징은, 질산성질소제거를 위해 황산화 탈질공법(SOD Process)을 적용한 것이다. SOD공법은 기존의 황탈질공법과는 달리 황과 알칼리성물질을 일체화한 충진담체(JSC Pellet)를 사용한 기술로, 유기탄소원이 전혀 없는 무기계폐수의 탈질기술로서 주목받고 있다. 현재까지 폐수처리장의 운영결과를 보면, 유입수의 평균 T-N농도가 설계값인 100 mg/L를 상회하는 147.55 mg/L이었지만, 처리수의 평균 T-N농도는 12.72 mg/L로 91%의 높은 제거율을 안정하게 유지하고 있다. 이상의 결과로, SOD공법이 무기계 산업폐수의 질산성질소제거에 매우 유용한 공법임이 확인되었으며, 신규 개발한 미생물활성화제(특허출원 중)를 사용함에 의해 증식속도가 늦은 독립영양미생물의 활성이 안정적으로 유지되었다.

An electrolytic oxidation process was applied to remove odorous compounds from non-point odor sources including wastewater pipelines and manholes. In this study, a distance between the anode and the cathode of the electrolytic process was varied as a system operating parameters, and its effects on odor removal efficiencies and reaction characteristics were investigated. Odor precursors such as sediment organic matters and reduced sulfur/nitrogen compounds were effectively oxidized in the electrolytic process, and a change in oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) indicated that an stringent anaerobic condition shifted to a mild anoxic condition rapidly. At an electrode distance of 1 cm and an applied voltage of 30 V, a system current was maintained at 1 A, and the current density was 23.1 $mA/cm^{2}$. Under the condition, the removal efficiency of hydrogen sulfide in gas phase was found to be 100%, and 93% of ammonium ion was removed from the liquid phase during the 120 minute operating period. Moreover, the sulfate ion (${SO_4}^{2-}$) concentration increased about three times from its initial value due to the active oxidation. As the specific power consumption (i.e., the energy input normalized by the effective volume) increased, the oxidation progressed rapidly, however, the oxidation rate was varied depending on target compounds. Consequently, a threshold power consumption for each odorous compound needs to be experimentally determined for an effective application of the electrolytic oxidation.

Adsorption and reaction studies were made for the catalytic oxidation in aqueous slurries of activated carbon at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. In order to analyze the reaction rate, the mechanism was assumed by the steps of nonhomogeneous catalytic reaction. The experimental result show that oxidation rate was controlled by the reaction between adsorbed molecular oxygen and sulfur dioxide on the catalyst surface. Ar room temperature, the equat5ion of reaction rate was given as $ro_2 = 2.49 \times 10^{-7} P_O_2^{0.604}$.

The present paper describes a study of the photochemical kinetics and its oxidation mechanism of DBT. The photolysis of DBT in aqueous solution media have shown to have significant oxidation activities for the photolytic desulfurization of DBT. The oxidation effect was more pronounced in 4 % NaCl solution. A mechanism was proposed that the desulfurization process arise from the substution of sulfur by the hydroxyl radicals in different aqueous medium.
