제염농축공정은 증류, 증발법을 일반적으로 사용하나, 에너지 절약차원에서 전기투석 (Electro dialysis)장치를 증발기 선단에 도입한 복합공정을 국내에서도 사용하고 있는 실정이다. 그러나, 전기투석장치는 전기적인 소모와 막의 재생, 교체처리비가 문제점이 되므로 역삼투 장치를 제염농축 공정 최선단에 도입한 복합공정을 이용할 경우 전기 투석 및 증발 복합공정에 비해 40%의 에너지 절감 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 이와 같은 장점에도 불구하고 역삼투 공정은 공급용액의 삼투압보다 큰 적용압력을 막표면에 가하여 물질분리를 수행하므로 농축공정에서 유발되는 배제액 농도의 상승은 삼투압의 증가를 일으켜 실적적용압력의 효과를 떨어뜨리게 되며 결과적으로 농축효과를 감소시키게 된다. 본 연구에서는 효과적인 염농축 공정을 위하여 막모듈 투과부에 고농도 삼투압 감소액(osmotic sink solution)을 향류식(막투과흐름을 맞받아치며 흐르는 방식)으로 유입시키는 향류식 역삼투 (counter-current reverse osmosis, CCRO) 나권형 모듈을 고안 제작하였으며, 제작된 모듈을 기존 역삼투 공정과 향류식 염삼투 공정에 적용하여 염농축도의 성능을 상호 비교하고 염농축에 관계되는 공급농도, 공급유량, 투과유량, 배제유량, 향류 유입유량, 압력구배, 삼투압차 및 농축단수 등의 인자들을 이용하여 두 공정에 대한 염농축 분리조작의 제반조건과 제작된 모듈 내의 농축관련 특성을 실험 및 수치적으로 비교, 고찰하였다.

본 연구는 개발한 batch type 동결농축장치를 이용하여 제조한 동결농축유의 일반성분 분석 및 이화학적 특성을 분석하고, 진공농축유와 비교하여 동결농축유의 우수성을 입증하기위하여 실시되었다. 동결농축유와 진공농축유는 농축방법에 따라 차이가 나타났으며, 전기영동 실험결과 진공농축유에 비하여 동결농축유의 band가 뚜렷하게 나타나 열처리한 진공농축유가 열변성이 된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 열처리시에는 Maillard반응이 일어나거나 유효성 lysine함량이 감소되며, 유청내 용해성 칼슘이 인산이나 변성된 단백질과 결합하여 한외여과성칼슘(calcium ions in milk ultrafiltrates)함량이 감소되며, 비타민 손실, 유당의 이성체화, 휘발성 황화합물 생성에 의해 가열취가 발생될 수 있다. 따라서 전기영동 실험결과 batch type 동결농축장치를 이용하여 제조한 동결농축유의 우수성을 확인할 수 있었다.

L.S. Pontryagin's maximum principle is applied to the minimum critical mass problem without any restriction on the ranges of uranium enrichment. For the analysis, two group diffusion equation is adopted for a cylindrical reactor neglecting the vertical axis consideration. The result shows that the three-zoned reactor turns out to be most optimal: the inner and outer zones with the minimum enrichment ; whereas the middle 3one with the maximum enrichment. With the given three-zoned reactor, critical condition is derived, which leads to the calculation of the determinant. By finding the roots of the determinant the numerical calculation of the minimum critical mass is carried out for the case of Kori reactor geometry changing the minimum or the maximum enrichment. It is found from many computed values that the least possible critical mass turns out to be the case of 1.2% maximum enrichment for the middle zone and 0.65% minimum enrichment for the inner and out zones.

This study was investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of the Rehmanniae radix (Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch. var. purpurea Makino) paste (RRP) and Rehmanniae radix preparata extract (RRPP). RRP and RRPP were made from vacuum concentrates of hot water extracts. The sugar contents of RRP and RRPP were 65.3 and 72.0$^{\circ}Brix$, respectively, whereas the reducing sugar contents were 2.4% and 44.9%. The pH level was lowest in the RRPP. The DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity of RRPP were much higher than those of RRP. Total phenol contents of RRP and RRPP were 2.15 mg/mL and 12.36 mg/mL, respectively. FRAP values of RRP and RRPP were 0.55 mg/mL and 2.02 mg/mL, respectively. Based on these results, it can be concluded that RRPP was the most appropriate in terms of both physicochemical and antioxidative activities.

To improve preservation and utilization of radish juice concentrates, radish juice were concentrated by reverse osmosis(RO) and thin layer evaporator(TLE) and their rheological properties were investigated. Radish juice concentrates were considered as nowtonian fluids. The apparent viscosity of conc. 1 (Heat treatment radish juice, concentrated by TLE), conc. 2 (Raw radish juice, concentrated by TLE), conc. 3 (Heat treatment radish juice, concentrated by RO) were 0.0503, 0.0578 and 0.0655 Pa.s at 10(1/s), respectively. The yield stress of these concentrates were ranged from 0.0001 to 0.0580 Pa. The activation energy for the flow of the radish juice conc. 1 were increased from 2.7057 to $4.1159{\times}10^4KJ/kg.mol$ by increasing concentration of radish juice.

Ion concentration polarization (ICP) is one of the essential important mechanisms for biomolecule preconcentration devices as well as a fundamental transport phenomenon found in electrodialysis, electrochemical cell, etc. The ICP triggered by externally applied voltage enables the biomolecular analyte to be preconcentrated at an arbitrary position by a locally amplified electric field inside the microchannel. Conventional preconcentration methodologies using the ICP have two limitations: uncertain equilibrium position and hydrodynamic instability of preconcentration plug. In this work, a new preconcentration method in the dead-end microchannel around cation exchange membrane was numerically studied to resolve the limitations. As a result, the numerical model showed that the analyte was concentrated at a shock front developed in a geometrically confined dead-end channel. Furthermore, the electrokinetic behaviors for preconcentration dynamics were analyzed by changing microchannel's applied voltage and volumetric charge concentration of microchannel as key parameters to describe the dynamics. This work would provide an effective means for a point-of-care platform that requires ultra-fast preconcentration method.

노심설계에서 현재 사용되는 일체형 가연성 흡수봉인 Gd, ZrB$_2$ 그리고 Er의 한국표준형 원전 노심 설계에의 타당성을 노심 F$\Delta$H 제어, 저누출 장전모형 설계, 농축도/주기길이 그리고 주기말의 잔존 페널티 등의 측면에서 분석하였다. 초기노심의 경우는 영광 3호기 1주기 장전모형에 동일 연료집합체를 사용한 Gd/ZrB$_2$/Er의 경우와 ZrB$_2$/Er 최적장전모형에 동일 연료집합체를 사용한 경우에 대하여 분석하였다. 평형노심은 Gd/ZrB$_2$/Er 모두 동일한 장전모형을 사용한 18개월 주기길이의 노심에 대하여 동일한 농축도에서의 주기길이차이와 동등 주기길이를 내는데 필요한 농축도 요구량에 대하여 분석하였다. 초기노심 평형노심 모두 F$\Delta$H 제어에는 ZrB$_2$/Er가 Gd보다 유리하였으며, 저누출 장전모형의 설계에도 ZrB$_2$와 Er가 Gd보다 유리하였다. 평형노심에서 동일한 주기길이를 내는데 요구되는 농축도는 ZrB$_2$에 비하여 Er는 0.182 w/o Gd는 0.063 w/o 높게 나타났으며 동일 농축도를 사용할 경우 주기길이는 ZrB$_2$에 비하여 Gd는 165 MWD/MTU 그리고 Er은 575 MWD/MTU가 짧게 나타났다. 따라서, F$\Delta$H 제어와 저누출 장전모형은 설계에는 ZrB$_2$와 Er가 Gd보다 유리하였으나 Er의 경우 주기말에서의 잔존 페널티가 매우 크다는 단점이 있다.

The physical properties of freeze-dried Aloe vera gel powders were examined according to the influence of the concentration degrees of the gel solutions as raw materials during freeze-drying. As a pre-treatment prior to freeze-drying, the gel solutions were vacuum-concentrated at three concentration levels (g water/g solids): high (H), 76; medium (M), 119; and low (L), 159. The water contents of the three powder samples were almost the same. For their viscosity measurements, non-Newtonian fluid behavior with shear thinning was observed in samples H and M, whereas Newtonian liquid behavior was found in sample L. In electrical conductivity measurements, sample H showed the highest conductivity upon dissolving the powder in water. For their water sorption isotherms, sample H was analyzed to have the least amount of bound water. Finally, it was determined that the degree of concentration caused only slight differences in the physical properties of freeze-dried Aloe gel powders.

Cycle length of domestic nuclear power plants is determined by the demand-supply plan of utility company. The target cycle length is achieved by adjusting the number of feed fuel assembly and fuel enrichment. Traditionally, utility company first select the number of feed fuel assembly and then find out the fuel enrichment to achieve the special cycle length. But it is difficult to find out if this method is most economical than any other combinations of the enrichment and batch size satisfying the same cycle length. In this paper, core depletion calculation is performed to find out the optimum combination of the enrichment and batch size for given target cycle length in terms of fuel cycle cost using commercial core design code; CASMO/MASTER code. To minimize the uncertainty resulting from transition core analysis, levelized fuel cycle cost analysis was applied to the equilibrium cycle core in order to determine the optimum combination. The sensitivity study of discount rate was also carried out to analyze the levelized fuel cycle cost applicable to countries with different discount rates. From the levelized fuel cycle cost analysis results, the combination with smaller batch size and higher fuel enrichment becomes more economical as the discount rate becomes lower. On the other hand, the combination with higher batch size and lower fuel enrichment becomes more economical as the discount rate becomes higher.

This study investigated the effect of concentrate of membrane filtration of sewage reuse facilities on bioreactor's microorganisms in sewage treatment facility, and concentrate was analyzed, oxygen uptake rate and continuous activated sludge experiment were performed. As a results, the concentration of organic matter and TP concentration in concentrate was closely related to the concentration of SS and the concentration of ionic substances in concentrate was higher in order of $Cl^-$ > $Na^+$ > $Ca^{2+}$ > $K^+$ > $Mg^{2+}$ > $F^-$. And the analysis value of analytical items was greatly fluctuated according to sampling time of concentrate. Result of OUR test according to the mixing ratio of concentrate to sewage, it was found that the concentrate acts as an organic matter in the activated sludge microorganism and it increases with the increase of the concentrate mixing ratio. As a result of continuous activated sludge experiment, MLSS concentration, organic removal efficiency and TN removal efficiency gradually decreased with increasing concentrate mixing ratio. Based on the experimental results, expected mixing ratio of concentrate to affect the treatment efficiency of activated sludge is 25%.
