제염기술은 원자력발전소의 순환계통장치 및 기기류의 방사성 오염물질을 제거하는 기술이다. 현재 국내 원전의 설계 수명 및 유지보수 시기가 도래함에 따라, 작업 전 작업자의 방사선 피사량을 극소화하기 위한 제염 기술이 주목을 받고 있다. 제염 방법에는 크게 기계적 제염과 화학약품을 사용하는 화학제염이 있다. 그 중 화학제염은 복잡한 구조의 제염 대상물에 대한 큰 효과 및 간단한 공정 때문에 주로 사용되고 있다. 제염 시 방사성 산화물과 오염성분을 제거하기 위해 강산 또는 강알칼리의 화학용액이 사용된다. 강한 화학약품을 사용함으로써 큰 제염효과를 얻을 수 있는 반면, 금속 재료의 부식에 대한 구동력도 커지게 된다. 금속 재료의 경우, 강한 부식성 환경에서 공식(pitting corrosion) 및 입계부식(intergranular corrosion)형태의 손상이 크게 발생하기 때문에, 제염공정 시 사용되는 화학용액에 대한 재료의 건전성 검증이 반드시 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 원전기기용 재료인 니켈합금강 Inconel600의 화학제염 시 시험공정 3가지에 대한 부식손상 특성을 규명하였다. 산화공정은 $HMnO_4$ 실험용액을 공통으로 사용하였으며, 산화공정 종료 후 환원공정은 각 시험공정에 따라 환원공정 1은 2000ppm $H_2C_2O_4$, 환원공정 2는 1500ppm $H_2C_2O_4$ + 500ppm $H_8C_6O_7$, 그리고 환원공정 3은 3000ppm $H_2C_2O_4$ 실험용액을 각각 투입하여 수행하였다. 산화, 환원공정을 1Cycle로 하여 온도 $75^{\circ}C$로 유지된 용액에 각 2시간씩 침적하였다. 각 시험공정 별로 총 5Cycle을 실시하였다. 각 시험공정 Cycle종료 후 시험편을 취외하여 무게감량측정, SEM(Scanning electron microscope)분석, 3D현미경분석 그리고 타펠분극 실험을 실시하였다. 각 분석결과를 토대로 하여, 니켈합금 Inconel600에 대한 화학제염 시 시험공정에 따른 부식특성을 규명하였다.

We have observed the change in the film resistance of thin nickel film up to 13 nm, which is deposited on a porous anodic alumina substrate, prepared by two-step anodization technique under phosphoric acid. The resulting film grows as a porous film, following the pore structure on the surface of the alumina substrate, and the value of the resistance lies above $150k{\Omega}$ within the range of thickness studied here, decreasing very slowly with the film thickness. The observed resistance value is much higher than the reported value of a uniform film at the same thickness. Since the observed value of the surface coverage with the pores is smaller than the critical value, expected from the percolation theory, the pore structure limits the formation of conduction channel across the film. In addition, by comparing to the typical model of thickness-dependent resistivity, we expect that the scattering at the pore edge further increases the film resistance.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of nickel chloride ($NiCl_2$) exposure on oxidative stress of the abalone Haliotis discus hannai. Experimental groups were composed of one control condition and five nickel chloride exposure conditions (5.9, 8.8, 13.3, 20.0, 30.0 mg/L). Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was increased in the foot and hepatopancreas, but decreased in the gill. Catalase (CAT) activity was increased in all exposure groups except 20.0 mg/L and 30.0 mg/L. In the gill, CAT activity was similar to the control group for all exposure groups. In the hepatopancreas, CAT activity was increased compared with the control group. However SOD and CAT activity showed not significant differences (P > 0.05).

Monomeric complexes of nickel(II) having terdentate bis(imino)aryl ligands (N,C,N-pincer) are reported. New complexes (2,6-(ArN=CH)2C6H3)NiBr (Ar=2,6-dimethylphenyl (1), 2,6-diisopropylphenyl (2)) have been synthesized through oxidative addition of 1,3-(ArN=CH)2C6H3Br (bis(N-Ar)-2-bromoisophthalaldimine: Ar=Ph-2,6-Me2, Ph-2,6-iPr2) to Ni(COD)2 (COD=1,5-cyclooctadiene), in high yields. The development of a synthetic route to ligands and nickel complexes is outlined. The complexes were characterized by IR, 1H-NMR and elemental analysis. Full characterization of complexes 1 and 2 is discussed. An investigation into the catalytic activity of the complexes in ethylene polymerization was performed, resulting in no formation of polyethylenes but producing a small amount of oily oligomers. Preliminary results indicate that the pincer complexes were found to be inactive as catalysts in ethylene polymerization.

Leaching experiments from single metal and metallic mixtures were conducted to develop a process for the recovery of cobalt, copper, and nickel in spent lithium ion batteries. Inorganic and organic acid solutions without oxidizing agents were employed. No copper was dissolved in the absence of an oxidizing agent in the leaching solutions. The leaching condition to completely dissolve single metal of cobalt and nickel was determined based on acid concentration, reaction temperature and time, and pulp density. The leaching condition to dissolve all of cobalt and nickel from the metallic mixtures was also obtained. Leaching of the metallic mixture with methanesulfonic acid led to selective dissolution of cobalt at low temperatures.

In this study, nickel, a pure metal material, was proposed as a saggar for synthesizing NCM [Li(Ni_xCo_yMn_z)O₂] cathode active material. Nickel is known as a metal that is resistant to oxidation and has a high melting point. Nickel is one of the main components of NCM cathode material and was expected to be free from problems with contamination from saggar during cathode material synthesis. We sought to confirm the possibility of nickel as a saggar for synthesizing NCM cathode active materials. When a Ni metal crucible and Ni_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1(OH)₂ (NCM 811) precursor material were reacted at 900℃ for a long time, the change in the reaction layer on the surface of the crucible over time was analyzed. The nickel crucible reaction layer formed during heat treatment at 900℃ was nickel oxide, and is thought to have been created by simultaneous oxygen diffusion from the cathode precursor oxide and reaction with oxygen in the atmosphere. The change in thickness of the oxide layer appears to slow down after 480 hours, which suggests that the rate of oxygen diffusion from the precursor is reduced. It remained combined without falling out of the crucible until 480 hours. However, it was confirmed that the oxide layer falls off after 720 hours, so it is thought that it can be used as saggar for NCM synthesis only for a certain period of time.

NiO 박막은 전자비임증착법과 RF-스퍼터링법으로 제작하여 박막의 성능을 평가하였다. NiO 박막의 성능평가를 위한 착색과 탈색은 전기적 착색셀을 제작하여 순환전압전류법으로 KOH 전해질 내에서 반복수행하였으며 성능이 퇴화된 박막의 투과율은 가시광선 분광기로 측정하였다. XPS에 의한 분석결과 막의 낱알 내부보다 낱알 표면에 많은 산소가 포함될수 있음을 알 수 있었다. KOH 전해질 속에서 사이클이 반복 수행된 막의 표면 낱알의 형태는 변하였으며, 3$\times$10-4mbar에서 제작된 시료가 막의 안정성이 좋았다. 제작 방법에 다라 막에 주입 및 추출되는 전하밀도와 투과율의 차이가 나타났고, 니켈 산화물 박막의 성능평가를 하기 위해 착색효율을 계산하였다. 기판물질인 IT(indium tin oxide)의 전기적 착색성과 전해질이 전기적 착색성에 미치는 영향에 대해서도 논의되었다.

After removal of mercury in the silver oxide batteries with the distillation process, the leaching of valuable metals from the residue was studied. The distilled residue was reacted with the various HNO, concentration, reactlon temperature, readion time and pulp density. It was found that the optimum condition for leachmg was 2N HNO,, 40-60% reaction temperature, 6 hours reaction tlme and 10g/200ml pulp density. More than 99% of silver and zinc were dissolved in this process while less than 50% of iron and nickel were leached

This experiment was carried out with the purpose of testing nickel and copper adsorption abilities of multi wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) and activated carbon. In the acidic condition, only MWCNT was effective for removing nickel and copper ion in the aqueous phase while activated carbon rarely remove them. The MWCNT and heavy metals adsorption reaction followed pseudo-first order kinetic. When the initial pH value was neutral (pH=7), nickel was rapidly removed by MWCNT and activated carbon in 4 hr (99.02 %, 80.30 %). Also, copper ion was rapidly removed by both adsorbents in 4 hr when the initial pH was 7 (100 %, 99.73 %). Increasing of adsorbent dosages affect the pH evolution and heavy metal ions removal (0 ~ 99%). Also, oxidation pretreatment enhanced the adsorption efficiency of MWCNT.
