Simulation for a dynamic analysis of the electrolytic preparation of U(IV) in two-phases system, which consisted of mass transfer of U(VI) from TBP phase into HNO$_3$ solution and electrolytic re-duction of U(VI) to U(IV) at a cathode in aqueous phase, was carried out in order to establish the most suitable operating condition and best electrode area as basic design data for the system. It was found that maintaining an appropriate mass transfer rate was more significant rather than enlarging the surface area of the cathode for more effective production yield of U(IV). The electrode area and the operation time affected deeply the production composition of U(IV) in the resulting aqueous phase. And optimal electrode areas ore evaluated to meet production criteria of U(IV) of resulting solution in several system conditions. Though about 0.37M HNO$_3$ was preferable to prepare the solution of U(IV), nitric acid concentration should be higher than 0.5M to prevent a hydrolysis of U(IV) in the aqueous phase.

Voltammogram analysis of U(VI) reduction at electrochemically non-pretreated/pretreated Ti electrodes in nitric acid and hydrazine($N_2$H$_4$)/protonated hydrazine($N_2$H$_{5}$$^{＋}$) media was done in order to determine the effect of hydrazine form and Ti electrode condition on the reduction of U(VI) in nitric acid. In the case of non-pretreated Ti electrode, the reduction in nitric acid and hydrazine mono-hydrate solution needed a high activation overpotential and was affected by the ratio of hydrazine to nitric acid rather than by only absolute amount of hydrazine because of the decrease of solution conductivity and increase of iR drop, which were caused by proton consumption in the solution by the hydrazine. In the case of pretreated Ti electrode in nitric acid and protonated hydrazine solution, the reduction current peaks of U(VI) were clearer and higher enough to perform a kinetic analysis, compared with the case with the non-pretreated Ti electrode at the same potential, and the behavior was strongly affected by nitric acid. The presence of hydrazine was important in the reduction of U(VI) at the pretreated Ti electrode for preventing the reoxidation of U(IV), but the concentration of protonated hydrazine was not.t.

Densities of a large number of mixed uranyl nitrate-thorium nitrate solutions were measured with pycnometer. By the least squares analysis of the experimental result, an empirical formula for determining water content of mixed uranyl nitrate-thorium nitrate solutions as functions of uranium concentration, thorium concentration and nitric acid normality is derived; $W=1.0-0.358\;C_u-0.4538\;C_{Th}-0.0307\;H^+$ where $W,\;C_u,\;C_{Th},\;and\;H^+$ stand for water content(g/cc), uranium concentration (g/cc), thorium concentration (g/cc), and nitric acid normality, respectively. Water contents of the mixed uranyl nitrate-thorium nitrate solutions are calculated by using the empirical formula, and compared with the values calculated by Bouly's equation in which an additional data, solution density, is required. The two results show good agreements within 2.7%.

알칼리 및 알칼리토금속(Cs,Rb,Ba,Sr), 전이감속원소(Zr,Fe,Mo,Ni,Pd,Rh), 란탄족 (La,Y,Nd,Ce,Eu.) 및 MA(Np,Am)등 17개 원소로 구성된 질산매질의 모의 방사성용액에서 옥살산에 의한 란탄족과 MA(Minor Actinide)의 공침전 연구를 수행하였다. 옥살산농도 0.5M에서 질산농도의 영향과 아스코빅산 첨가에 따른 원소들의 침전율이 조사되었다. 각 원소들의 침전율은 질산농도에 따라 약간 감소하였으나 란탄족과 MA는 99%이상 공침전되었다. 아스코빅산이 첨가되는 경우 Pd이 금속으로 환원침전되고 Mo.Fe,Ni.Ba의 경우는 침전율이 10∼20% 감소하는 것으로 나타났으나 기타원소들에 대해서는 영향이 나타나지 않았다. Pd의 환원침전은 질산농도 1.0M미만에서 일어났으며. 아스코빅산 농도가 0.01M∼0.02M 부근에서 최대로 나타났다. 하이드라진이 아스코빅산과 같이 첨가될 때 Pd의 환원침전을 억제하는 역할을 하였다.

구리는 탄성이방성이 큰 재료로 Si 박막상에 성장시키면 (111) 방향으로 우선 배향된 박막을 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 (111) 우선 방위를 갖는 Cu 박막의 전기도금층의 재결정 후의 매우 평탄한 표면을 갖는 박막에서 에칭에 따른 박막의 단차와 표면형상을 통해 결정방위별 에칭 특성을 비교 분석한 결과이다. 10 vol% 질산용액에서 에칭한 결과는 구리의 용해에 따라 각 결정면에 대한 고유의 facetted surface morphology를 나타내며, 대표적인 결정 방위인 (111), (110), (100)에 대해 triangular flake, ridge and rectangular pyramidal shapes을 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다. 에칭속도의 정량적 측정을 위해 120초간 2.2M 농도의 질산용액으로 에칭을 실시하였고, nanosize의 as-plated initial region, (111), (110), (100) oriented regions의 각각에서 383, 270, 276, 317 nm/min의 에칭속도를 갖는 것을 확인하였다. Facet surface의 관찰을 통해 에칭반응이 (111) front surface를 갖는 열역학적 평형상태에서 일어나며, 이러한 결정방위별 에칭속도 차이는 각 결정S면이 갖는 Kink or ledge의 밀도의 차이에 기인할 것으로 판단된다. 즉, 에칭이 평형상태에서 step flow mechanism에 의해 열역학적 평형상태를 유지하면서 진행이 된다. 본 연구는 향후 다양한 에칭관련 용액 효과, 구리 박막의 응력 및 불순물에 의한 효과를 볼 수 있는 기본 방법을 제공해 줄 것으로 기대한다.

Zirconium is used in nuclear reactors as a structural material due to its excellent corrosion resistance and to low neutron crosssection. Variation in the distribution and solubility of Zr(IV) with solution pH was obtained. Distribution of Zr(IV) containing species in HCl and $HNO_3$ solution was analyzed by considering the complex formation of Zr(IV) species with the anion of the inorganic acid. Bromley interaction parameter between $ZrO^{2+}$ and nitrate ion was estimated by using the reported data on the solvent extraction of Zr(IV) by Cyanex272 from $HNO_3$ solution. This Bromley parameter can be utilized in calculating extraction isotherm of Zr(IV) and in predicting the separation factor between Zr(IV) and Hf(IV).

This study was carried out to discuss a colorimetric method for the determination of nitrite in meat products issued by the Ministry of Health and Social Affaires of Korea (1985). 1) The recovery rates of nitrite of test solution extracted in the room temperature were higher than those obtained by the heating extraction. 2) In the room temperature, samples prepared with the sUce were more effective than the blendina method and the distlled water as extractina solvent for nitrite was more effective tban tbe phospbate buffer solution. 3) The extracting time showed that thirty minutes were enough to extract nitrite and the diazotizingcoupling reagents, 30% of sulfanilamide and N-l-naphthylethyienediamine were better than others. 4) The nitrite in a test soiution greatly decreased when the solution was distilled. In this case, the test solution should be used as a control. 5) Ten minutes were enough to couple nitrite.
