The textural and antioxidant properties, as well as the changes in functional constituents of shiitake mushrooms cooked by three different methods (boiling, steaming, and frying) were analyzed. The hardness of the mushrooms did not change significantly at the end time of cooking for each method. The antioxidant properties determined by measuring the free-radical scavenging activity and total phenolic content were the highest in the control (uncooked shiitake), and these properties were adversely affected after cooking, especially by boiling. Both the riboflavin and eritadenine contents were the highest in the control, but decreased upon cooking, in the following order: frying > steaming > boiling. The ergocalciferol content after frying was less than that in other samples. Although uncooked shiitake mushroom showed a higher concentration of functional constituents, it needs to be cooked adequately owing to its tough texture. If the hardness of the mushrooms cooked by different methods is the same, frying is considered the most acceptable method.

This study examined the long-term durability of PC boxes, which was manufactured by low-carbon eco-friendly concrete using an alternative binder to cement and alternative fine aggregate to sand and microwave heat curing system to reduce the construction cost of a near-surface transit system. Based on the test results, the initial compressive strength of microwave heat cured concrete was higher than that of the steam cured concrete, but those were similar in the long-term age. In addition, there was no significant difference between the two curing conditions in the chemical resistance and the freeze-thawing resistance, and the chloride ion penetration level of the concrete cured by two methods was very low. Therefore, low-carbon eco-friendly concrete and microwave heat curing technology are expected to contribute to the economic construction of a near-surface transit system, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions and environmental impact.

Carbon-rich coal can be utilized as a fuel for direct carbon fuel cell (DCFC). However, left-behind ash after the electrochemical oxidation may hinder the electrochemical reactions. In this study, we produced ash-free coal (AFC) by thermal extraction and then tested it as a fuel for DCFC. DCFC was built based on solid oxide electrolyte and the electrochemical performance of AFC mixed with $K_2CO_3$ was compared with AFC only. Significantly enhanced power density was found by catalytic steam gasification of AFC. However, an increase of the power density by catalytic pyrolysis was negligible. This result indicated that a catalyst activated the steam gasification reactions, producing much more $H_2$ and thus increasing the power density, compared to AFC only. Results of a quantitative analysis showed much improved kinetics in AFC with $K_2CO_3$ in agreement with DCFC results. A secondary phase of potassium on yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) surface was observed after the cell operation. This probably caused poor long-term behavior of AFC with $K_2CO_3$. A thin YSZ (30 ${\mu}m$ thick) was found to be higher in the power density than 0.9 mm of YSZ.

산화물 사용후핵연료를 대상으로 하는 파이로 공정은 고온 용융염 매질에서 산화물을 금속으로 전환시키는 전해환원 공정으로부터 시작된다. 이후, 전해정련 공정이 도입되어 전해환원 공정에서 금속으로 환원된 생성물을 처리하게 된다. 전기화학적 공정인 이 두 공정에는 전류전달 매질인 전해질로 용융염이 사용된다. 그러나 전해환원 공정은 LiCl 염을 기반으로 하는 반면 전해정련은 LiCl-KCl 공융염 조건에서 운전하여 두 공정의 연계성 향상 및 공정 안정성 확보를 위해서는 전해환원 공정에서 생성되는 금속전환체에 존재하는 잔류염을 제거하는 공정의 도입이 두 공정사이에 고려되고 있다. 전해환원 공정에서 산화물이 금속으로 환원되는 동안 고체입자의 외형이 유지되며 따라서 제거된 산소에 의해 금속전환체에는 공극이 발생하게 된다. 또한, 전해환원에 도입되는 산화물의 물리적 형태가 분말 또는 펠렛 등 다양한 형태로 도입 가능하여 단위 입자들 사이에 많은 공극이 발생하게 된다. 이렇게 기존재하거나 또는 공정 운전에 의해 새롭게 생성된 공극에는 전해환원 매질인 LiCl 염이 침투하여 금속전환체는 염에 의해 젖게 되며 공정 종료시 고화되어 금속전환체에 포함된다. LiCl을 제거하기 위해서는 가열에 의한 증류가 연구되고 있다. 그러나 LiCl의 낮은 증기압에 의해 비교적 낮은 온도에서 증발시키기 위해서는 감압조건이 필수적으로 고려되어야 한다. 한국원자력연구원에서는 다공성 모의 금속전환체를 사용하여 LiCl에 의한 Wetting 후 적절한 증발 조건 결정을 목적으로 온도 및 압력 조건 설정을 위한 기초실험에 결과를 수행하였다. 본 연구의 기초 실험 결과 $700^{\circ}C$온도 조건과 감압조건이 잔류염 제거를 위한 공정조건임을 밝혔다. 또한 모의 금속전환체를 담고 있는 미세 다공성 Basket은 고온조건에서 공극의 변형에 의해 증발에 대한 저항으로 작용하여 증발 효율을 저하시키는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 잔류염 제거를 위해서는 전해환원 Basket이 비교적 큰 공극을 지녀야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Cr-Mo 합금강은 고온 환경 하에서 높은 크리이프 강도와 우수한 내식성 때문에 발전설비, 석유 화학, 그리고 해양산업과 같은 여러 산업분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 특히, Cr-Mo 강의 내식성은 합금 내 Cr 함량에 크게 의존한다. 이는 고온에서 Cr과 O가 화학적 반응을 일으킴에 따라 보호성의 Cr 산화스케일을 형성하기 때문이다. 그러나 화석연료를 사용하는 발전설비의 경우, $SO_2$가 포함된 강한 부식성의 연소 가스가 배출되며, 이에 노출된 금속의 표면에서는 산화와 황화가 동시에 발생한다. 황화스케일은 산화스케일에 비해 매우 빠르게 성장하며, 그 특성이 매우 취약하기 때문에 황화 환경에서 금속의 내식성 및 기계적 물성치는 보다 크게 저하된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 화력 발전소의 증기발생용 튜브 재료인 9Cr-1MoVNb 강을 선정하였으며, $SO_2$ 가스 환경 하에서의 부식 및 기계적 물성치 저하 특성을 평가하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 9Cr-1MoVNb강의 화학 성분 조성은 0.1 C, 0.38 Si, 0.46 Mn, 0.25 Ni, 8.38 Cr, 0.93 Mo, 0.18 V, 0.09 Nb, 그리고 나머지는 Fe이다. 부식시험은 가공된 미소시험편과 인장시험편을 전기열처리로에 장입한 후, $650^{\circ}C$에서 $N_2+O_2+O_2+SO_2$ 조성의 가스를 분당 50 CC로 흘려주었다. 제작된 시험편에 대한 부식거동은 무게 증가량, optical microscope, scanning electron microsope, 그리고 energy dispersive x-ray spectrum을 통해 평가하였다. 그리고 기계적 물성치 평가를 위한 인장시험은 분당 2mm 변위제어를 통해 실시하였다. 그 결과, 9Cr-1MoVNb 강은 $SO_2$ 가스 환경 하에서 비 보호적인 Fe-풍부상의 산화 스케일층이 두껍게 형성됨에 따라 열악한 내식성을 나타냈다. 그에 따라 기계적 물성치는 저하되는 경향을 나타내었다.

Porous silicon exhibiting dual optical properties, both $Febry-P{\acute{e}}rot$ fringe (optical reflectivity) and photoluminescence had been developed and used as chemical sensors. Porous silicon samples were prepared by an electrochemical etch of p-type silicon wafer (boron-doped, <100> orientation, resistivity ; $1-10{\Omega}cm$). Two different types of porous silicon, fresh porous silicon (Si-H terminated) and oxidized porous silicon (Si-OH terminated)by the thermal oxidation, were prepared. Then the samples were exposed to the vapor of various organics, such as methanol, acetone, hexane, and toluene. Both reflectivity and photoluminescence were simultaneously measured under the exposure of organic vapors for sensing VOC's. These surface-modified samples showed unique respond in both reflectivity and photoluminescence with various organic vapors. While polar molecules exhibit greater quenching photoluminescence, molecules having higher vapor pressure show greater red shift for reflectivity.

EAF (Electric arc furnace) dust is an important secondary resource such as zinc, lead, and iron. Recycling of EAF dust is benefit to solving disposal and environmental problems caused by the heavy metals entrained in the dust. In this study, pyrometallurgical treatment technology of EAF dust reviewed for the improvement of conventional process and development of new process. The existing technologies categorized into four groups: those by rotary kiln process, rotary hearth furnace (RHF) process, shaft type process, and reduction smelting process. The product of these processes are ZnO and Fe or slag as a waste. Their mechanisms for the production of ZnO from EAF dust were carbothermic reduction and oxidation of zinc gas with air.

Gasoline generates organic acid and polymer (gum) by hydrocarbon oxidation depending on the storage environment such as temperature and exposure to sunlight, which can cause metal corrosion, rubber and resin degradation and vehicle malfunction caused by accumulation in fuel supply system. The gasoline which has not been used for a long time in bi-fuel (LPG-Gasoline) vehicle causes problems, and low octane number gasoline have evaporated into the field, but the exact cause has not been studied yet. In this study, we suggest a plan of quality management by investigating the gasoline oxidation behavior. In order to investigate the oxidation behavior of gasoline, changes of gasoline properties were analyzed at various storage conditions such as storage time, storage vessel type (vehicle fuel tank, PE vessel and Fe vessel) and storage circumstances (sunlight exposure and open system, etc.). Currently distributing gasoline and bioethanol blended fuel (blended 10%) were stored for 18 weeks in summer season. The sample stored in PE vessel was out of quality standard (octane number, vapor pressure, etc.) due to the evaporation of the high octane number and low boiling point components through the vessel cap and surface. Especially, the sunlight exposure sample stored in PE vessel showed rapid decrease of vapor pressure and increase of gum. Bioethanol blended fuel showed similar results as gasoline.

In this study, an ejector was designed to recirculate the anodic off-gas of SOFC, and a parametric study of the system performance was conducted at various ejector entrainment ratios. Aspen Plus, a chemical engineering program, was used to calculate the operational conditions of the ejector. To minimize the calculation load of the CFD and to ensure the global optimum, a genetic algorithm and Kriging model were used for the optimization. The optimization results showed that the dominant design variables of the sonic ejector are the throat diameter and the first flow nozzle position. The designed ejector has enough flexibility for different operating conditions of a 1-kW SOFC system. When the ejector was applied to the SOFC, it reduced 56% of the steam and 8.4% of the fuel compared to the reference case.
