The refining effect of tantalum by electron beam melting(EBM) process for recycling tantalum scraps was investigated in the study. The purity of the tantalum metals refined by EBM was evaluated using glow discharge mass spectrometry (GDMS). From the result of GDMS, most impurities in the tantalum metals were removed by EBM down to a few mass ppm levels. The purity of the refined tantalum scraps was improved up to 5N (99.9991%) from 4 N (99.996%) of the initial tantalum scraps. The amount of metallic impurities in the tantalum was decreased from 30 ppm to 8 ppm. In addition, the gaseous impurities in the tantalum were decreased from 470 ppm to 50 ppm. Therefore a possibility of refining method for recycling tantalum scraps by EBM process was confirmed in this study.

6Mo급 슈퍼 스테인리스강의 내식성은 여러 환경에서 여러 가지의 부식 시험 방법을 통해서 확띤되어 왔다. 이 합금이 보이는 탁월한 내식성 때문에 해수 설비 계통,정유 설비,원자력 발전소의 열교환기 등의 중요 재료로서 그 사용 용도가 급격히 증가하고 있다. 그런데 방사선의 영향을 받게 되는 설비에 금속 재료가 사용되는 경우,특히 경수로의 노내 구조물, 액체 금속로의 열교환기, 핵융합로의 제1벽 재료 등 에서는 합금 원소가 방사성 환경에 의하여 제거되는 현상이 나타난다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 상황을 미리 재료 제조 차원에서 모사하여 탄소량과 질소량의 함량 을 달리 한 6Mo급 슈퍼 스테인리스강을 제조하여 미세 조직, 기계적 성질 및 부식 특성의 변화에 대하여 연구하였다. 진공 고주파 유도 용해로를 이용하여 탄소량과 질소량이 각기 변화된 슈퍼 스테인리스강을 용해 한 뒤 아르곤 가스 분위기에서 $1180^{\circ}C$로 soaking하고 열간 압연을 행하였다. 열간 압연으로 표변에 생성된 산화 스케일을 불산과 질산의 혼합 용액으로 제거한 뒤 냉간 압연을 행하였다. 이 냉연 판재에 대하여 $1150^{\circ}C$로 소둔하여 각 실험에 사용하였다. 광학 현미경을 이용하여 미세 조직의 변화를 관찰하였으며, 상온과 고온($520^{\circ}C$)에서 인장 시험을 행하였으며, 경도 측정을 행하였다. 또한 양극 분극 시험과 비등 질산 침지 시험 및 비등 40% NaOH 용액에서의 일정 연신율 시험을 행하 였다. 탄소 함량이 증가할수록 항복 강도 및 인장 강도는 증가하고 있으며 연신율은 감 소하는 일반적인 경향을 보였으며 비등 질산 시험에서는 탄소량에 관계없이 매우 우수한 내식성을 쁘였다. 또한 비등 상태의 40% NaOH 용액에서의 응력 부식 균열 시험 결과, 탄소량이 증가할수록 부식 저항성이 증가하고 있는 것으로 평가되었다. 한 편 질소량이 증까할수록 결정립이 미세화되었으며 경도값이 상승하였다. 이들 합금 에 대한 양극 분극 시험 결과, 질소량의 변화가 탄소량의 변화보다 내식성에 큰 영향 을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

This paper presents the development of two ANN models which can predict an optimum production rate by controlling choke size in oil well, and gas injection rate in gas-lift well. The input data was solution gas-oil ratio, water cut, reservoir pressure, and choke size or gas injection rate. The output data was wellhead pressure and production rate. Firstly, a range of each parameters was decided by conducting sensitive analysis of input data for onshore oil well. In addition, 1,715 sets training data for choke size decision model and 1,225 sets for gas injection rate decision model were generated by nodal analysis. From the results of comparing between the nodal analysis and the ANN on the same reservoir system showed that the correlation factors were very high(>0.99). Mean absolute error of wellhead pressure and oil production rate was 0.55%, 1.05% with the choke size model, respectively. And the gas injection rate model showed the errors of 1.23%, 2.67%. It was found that the developed models had been highly accurate.

Selected physical properties of cornmeal extrudates fortified with dairy products and extrusion process by $CO_2$ gas injection were analysed. Dairy products including whole milk powder, whey protein concentrate non-fat dry milk, and sodium caseinate were tested at the addition of 10% and 20%, based on cornmeal weight. $CO_2$ gas was injected to the barrel at the pressure of 0.7 and 1.4 MPa. Specific mechanical energy (SME) input was decreased by the addition of dairy products. Sodium caseinate had a little effect on decreasing the SME input, however whole milk powder tremendously reduced SME input when the concentration increased. An increase in milk product content resulted in increasing the piece density at the injection pressure of 0.7 MPa. At both 10% and 20% milk product content, the piece density was lowest at the injection pressure of 0.7 MPa. The sectional expansion index was highest at the injection pressure of 0.7 MPa. However, the specific length was constantly increased with the increase in $CO_2$ injection pressure. Water absorption index was decreased and water solubility index was increased by the addition of milk products. The injection pressure of $CO_2$ was optimum at 0.7 MPa. The addition of whole milk powder limited to puff the melt, but the other milk products tested resulted in puffing with $CO_2$ injection to 1.4 MPa.

그래핀(Graphene)은 탄소 원자가 6각 구조로 이루진 2차원 알려진 물질 중 가장 얇은(0.34 nm) 두께의 물질이며 그 밴드구로조 인해 우수한 전자 이동도($200000cmV^{-1}s^{-1}$)를 가지고 있며, 이외에도 기계적, 화학적으로 뛰어난 특성을 가진다. 대면적화 된 그래핀을 성장시키기 위한 방법으로는 화학적 기상 증착법(Chemical Vapor Deposition)이 있다. 하지만 실제 여러 전이금속에서 합성되는 그래핀은 다결정으로, 서로 다른 면 방향을 가진 계면에서 전자의 산란이 일어나며, 고유의 우수한 특성이 저하되게 된다. 따라서 전자소재로 사용되기 위해서는 단결정의 대면적화 된 그래핀에 대한 연구가 지속적으로 이루어지고 있다. 앞서의 두 문제점 중, 단결정의 그래핀 합성에 크게 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 크게 합성 온도, 촉매 기판의 탄소 용해도, 촉매 표면에서의 탄소 원자의 확산성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 구리, 니켈, 실리콘에 비해 탄소 용해도가 낮으며, 탄소 원자의 높은 확산성으로 인해 단결정의 단층 그래핀을 합성에 적합하다고 보고된 저마늄(Germanium) 기판을 사용하여 그래핀을 합성하였다. 단결정의 그래핀을 성장시키기 위해 메탄(Methane; $CH_4$)가스의 주입량과 수소 가스의 주입량을 제어하여 성장 속도를 조절 하였으며, 성장하는 그래핀의 면방향을 제어하고자 하였다. 표면의 산화층(Oxidized layer)을 제거하기 위하여 불산(Hydrofluoric acid)를 사용하였다. 불산 처리 후 표면의 변화는 원자간력현미경(Atomic force microscopipe)을 통하여 분석하였다. 합성된 그래핀의 특성을 저 에너지 전자현미경(Low energy electron microscopy), 광전자 현미경(Photo emission electron microscopy), 라만 분광법(Raman spectroscopy), 원자간력현미경(Atomic force microscopy)와 투과전자현미경 (transmission electron microscopy)을 이용하여 기판 표면의 구조와 결정성을 분석하였다.

The slow degradation rate of sewage sludge in anaerobic digesters is due to the rate limiting step of sludge hydrolysis. Therefore, the pre-treatment process had been carried out using acidic(pH 1.5, 3, 4, 5) and alkaline(pH9, 10, 13), thermal(50, 100, 150, $200^{\circ}C$) and ultrasonic treatment(400W, 20kHz, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, 60min). In the best conditions of each treatment, the SCOD ratio(%) of treated/untreared samples were increased 102% in acid(pH5), 986% in alkali(pH13), 959% in thermal($200^{\circ}C$) and 1123% in ultrasonic(35min) treatment. As the result, the ultrasonic treatment was most effective, followed by alkali, thermal, acidic treatment. In the effects of total gas productivity, the thermal($200^{\circ}C$) pretreatment was the highest, followed by thermal($150^{\circ}C$), ultrasonic(90min), alkaline(pH9) and ultrasonic(50min).

A melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MUF) resin, based on 5 percent melamine addition of the resin solids weight, was synthesized in the laboratory for particleboard (PB) manufacture. Laboratory PBs were made with the MUF resin at three press times (3, 4, 5 min) and two resin application rates (6, 8 percent). Enclosed caul system was used for collecting the exhaust gases materials generated during the hot-pressing of PBs. Exhaust gases materials generated inside the enclosed caul during the hot-pressing of PBs were collected in a controlled air stream. Formaldehyde from the exhaust gases collected was determined per a chromotropic method of the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health Method 3500. The measurement results showed that formaldehyde emissions during the hot-pressing of PB significantly increased with increasing press time, and MUF resin application rates. PB' performance test results showed that internal bond (IB) of PB made with 3-minute press time exceeded the minimum requirement for KS F 3104 PB type 8.0.

In the present work, a basic study on the in-situ biogenic methane generation from low grade coal bed was conducted. Lignite from Indonesia was used as a sample feedstock. A series of BMP (Biochemical Methane Potential) tests were carried out under the different experimental conditions. Although nutrients and anaerobic digester sludge were added to the coal, the produced amount of methane was limited. Both temperature control and particle size reduction showed little effect on the increase of methane potential. When rice straw was added to lignite as an external carbon source, methane yield of 94.4~110.4 mL/g VS was obtained after 60 days of BMP test. The calorific value of lignite after BMP test decreased (4.5~12.1 %) as increasing the content of rice straw (12.5~50 wt % of lignite), implying that anaerobic digestion of rice straw led to partial degradation of lignite. Therefore, rice straw could be used as an external carbon source for the start-up of in-situ biogas generation from low grade coal bed.

3.9%C-2.0%Si-Fe 조성의 압분체(壓粉體)를 $1350^{\circ}$, Ar가스 분위기에서 50분간 용해한 용탕에 시판(市販) misch metal과 misch metal hydride인 MmH와 $MmH_2$를 각각 여러비율로 첨가(添加)한후 서냉(徐冷)및 급냉(急冷)한 시편의 흑연형상(黑鉛形狀)의 변화로부터 misch metal hydride의 구상화능(球狀化能)과 흑연구상화(黑鉛球狀化) 기구(機構) 로서의 기포설(氣泡說)의 타당성을 고찰한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1) Misch metal은 0.5% 이상, 그리고 misch metal hydride는 0.25% 이상 첨가한 때 구상흑연(球狀黑鉛)과 CV 흑연(黑鉛)이 나타났으며, misch metal hydride를 첨가한 때가 misch metal에 비하여 흑연립수(黑鉛粒數)가 더 많았다. 이와같이 misch metal hydride의 첨가량이 misch metal에 비하여 적었음에도 흑연립수(黑鉛粒數)가 더 많은 것을 보면 Mm으로부터 방출되는 다수(多數)의 수소기포(水素氣泡)가 구상흑연(球狀黑鉛)의 정출장소로 되는 것으로 해석되기 때문에 기포설(氣泡說)이 타당하다고 생각된다. 2) Misch metal 과 misch metal hydride의 첨가량(添加量)이 1.0%로 증가되면 두경우 모두 흑연립수(黑鉛粒數)가 감소하였다. 이는 용탕중에 개재된 수소기포(水素氣泡)의 실수율차이에 의한 잔류 수소기포수의 증가율둔화와 첨가량(添加量)의 증가에 따른 잔류 misch metal량의 상대적(相對的) 증가로 인한 다량의 잔류 misch metal이 응고과정에서 수소를 재흡수 용해하여 흑연입수를 결정하는 용탕중의 유효수소기포수(有效水素氣泡數)를 감소시켰기 때문으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how to modify the physical properties of cellulose after thermal treatment. Cellulose was treated between $225^{\circ}C$ and $325^{\circ}C$ for 3 hrs under air flow, and then the thermally treated cellulose was measured to specific surface area, constitute elements, consumption ofacid and base, as well as the adsorption capacity of ethylamine vapor. The higher was the treating temperature from $225^{\circ}C$ to $325^{\circ}C$, the lower was the total yield of cellulose. Elemental analysis revealed that carbon content in thermally treated cellulose was gradually increased in proportion to temperature increment. The amount of acidic functional groups tended to increase up to $300^{\circ}C$, after then to be lowered slightly. In principle, no alkaline functional groups were found in thermally treated cellulose. In case of treatment with $325^{\circ}C$, only a few amount of alkaline functional groups were detectable. Specific surface area of thermally treated cellulose are determined to $1.9m^2/g$, which value can become higher when the treated temperature rises. The thermally treated cellulose at $275^{\circ}C$ shows the highest adsorption capacity of ethylamine at $40^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs. Solubility of those two celluloses with WPG (Weight Percent Gain) value of 113% and 108%, respectively, was determined to almost 100%. X-ray diffractogram of thermally treated cellulose suggested that the crystalline structure of cellulose began to be destroyed at the temperature of $275^{\circ}C$. As a conclusion, changes of such a physical properties make it possible to weaken inter and/or intra hydrogen bond in crystal region of cellulose macromolecules. When thermally treated cellulose adsorbs ethylamine, it turns to be well soluble to water.
