파이로처리 방사성 폐기물 처분 시스템에 대하여 골드심을 이용하여 개발된 확률론적 평가 프로그램을 이용하여 폐쇄후 방사선적 안전성 평가를 수행하였다. 처분장으로부터 핵종이 유출되어 다양한 처분 시스템 내 매질을 이동하는 것에 관련된 정상 시나리오에 대한 평가를 위하여, 평가 결과에 대한 민감도나 일반적으로 불확실성의 범위가 큰 입력자료 중 주요하다고 판단되는 파라미터를 9개로 선정하여 평가에 고려된 핵종 중 Tc, Sn, Pa, Cs 4개의 원소에 대하여 평가 결과를 논의해 보았다. 확률론적 안전성 평가와 함께 이들 각 입력 자료에 대한 최종 방사선 피폭선량에 대한 민감도도 분석하여 결과에 대한 각 입력 파라미터의 중요도도 비교하였다.

알카리로 처리한 국산 blown asphalt를 사용해서 방사성 폐액을 180-20$0^{\circ}C$ 범위 내에서 고화처리한 것이 산처리 한것보다 좋은 결과를 얻었으며, 방사선 조사선량이 4.0$\times$$10^{7}$ rad까지도 안정된 고화체로 존재하고 있다. 한편 40wt%의 고형분이 함유되어 있는 $^{137}$Cs-asphalt 고화체의 증류수에 의한 $^{137}$Cs의 용출율이 8.27$\times$$10^{-4}$ g/$\textrm{cm}^2$-day 인데 반하여 $^{90}$ Sr은 낮았으며, 일반적으로 증류수보다 해수때가 또한 pH가 증가함에 따라 용출율은 낮아진다.

Ceramic foams are prepared as positive images corresponding to a plastic foam structure which exhibits high porosities (85-90%). This structure makes the ceramic foams attractive as a catalyst in a dry reforming process, because it could reduce a high pressure drop problem. This problem causes low mass and heat transfers in the process. Furthermore, the reactants would shortly contact to catalyst surface, thus low conversion could occur. Therefore, this research addressed the preparation of dry reforming catalysts using a sol-gel catalyst preparation via a polymeric sponge method. The specific objectives of this work are to investigate the effects of polymer foam structure (such as porosity, pore sizes, and cell characteristics) on a catalyst performance and to observe the influences of catalyst preparation parameters to yield a replica of the original structure of polymeric foam. To accomplish these objectives industrial waste foams, polyurethane (PU) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) foams, were used as a polymeric template. Results indicated that the porosity of the polyurethane and polyvinyl alcohol foams were about 99% and 97%. Their average cell sizes were approximate 200 and 50 micrometres, respectively. The cell characteristics of polymer foams exhibited the character of a high permeability material that can be able to dip with ceramic slurry, which was synthesized with various viscosities, during a catalyst preparation step. Next, morphology of ceramic foams was explored using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and catalyst properties, such as; temperature profile of catalyst reduction, metal dispersion, and surface area, were also characterized by $H_2-TPR$ and $H_2-TPD$ techniques, and BET, respectively. From the results, it was found that metal-particle dispersion was relatively high about 5.89%, whereas the surface area of ceramic foam catalysts was $64.52m^2/g$. Finally, the catalytic behaviour toward hydrogen production through the dry reforming of methane using a fixed-bed reactor was evaluated under certain operating conditions. The approaches from this research provide a direction for further improvement of marketable environmental friendly catalyst production.

본 연구는 사용 후 핵연료의 금속전환 공정에서 발생되는 폐용융염을 고형화하는 방법으로 GRSS(Gel-Route Slabilization/Solidifcation)개념을 이용한 전처 리법을 제안하였다. Sodium silicate와 H3p04로 구성된 물질계에서는 SiO$_2$에 의해 형성되는 반응모듈 내에서 휘발성 핵종은 열적으로 안정한 화합물로 전환된다. 얻어진 생성물은 붕규산 유리매질과의 반응을 통하여 Li는 Li$_{3}$PO$\_4$ 형태로 유지되며 Cs 및 Sr은 유리매질내에 포용될 수 있다. 또한 sodium silicate, H$_{3}$PO$_4$ 및 ZrCl$_4$로 이루어진 물질계를 이용하여 내구성이 우수한 WZP 세라믹 고화매질을 합성하였다. $700^{circ}C$이상에서 NZP구조가 형성되며, Cs가 Li보다 우선하여 NZP구조를 형성하였다. 이상의 결과로부터, GRSS를 이용한 폐용융염의 전처리는 단순한 공정과 열적 안정성을 통하여 검증된 고화매질로 고형화가 가능토록하는 유효한 접근법이라 할 수 있으며, 수화학적 안정성의 검증을 통하여 ANL의 제올라이트를 이용한 고화법에 대한 대안이 될 것으로 기대된다.

For the manufacturing lightweight fine aggregate, clay and waste material was formed by pelletizer. The fine aggregate of 1-5 mm diameter was formed by diameter 76 cm pelletizer disc. Pelletization variables were : (1) pelletizer disc angle, (2) speed of revolution of pelletizer, (3) added pelletization time. Green and sintered aggregate were measured specific gravity, absorption rate and average size. The optimum condition were found that the pelletization variables were angle at $70^{\circ}$, speed of revolution of pelletizer at 23.2 rpm, and water/solid ratio at 1/5. At these conditions, it was formed that fine aggregate green whose average size was $2.0{\sim}3.35mm$. Specific gravity and average size are increased with low angle of disc and fast revolution speed of disc. Specific gravity and average size were not distinctly influenced by added pelletization time. Sintered aggregate was distinctly influenced by properties of green.

In this study, we used activated carbon (AC) and charcoal (CH) as carbon sources with $TiO_2$ powder to prepare spherical carbons containing titania (SCCT) by using phenolic resin (PR) as a bonding agent. The physicochemical characteristics of the SCCT samples were examined by BET, XRD, SEM, EDX, iodine adsorption and compressive strength. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by measuring the removal efficiency of three kinds of organic dyes: methylene blue (MB), methyl orange (MO) and rhodamine B (Rh.B) under a UV/SCCT system. In addition, evaluation of chemical oxygen demand (COD) of piggery waste was done at regular intervals and gave a good idea about the mineralization of wastewater.

Among various fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) offer the highest energy efficiency, when taking into account the thermal recycling of waste heat at high temperature. However, the highest efficiency and lowest pollution for a SOFC can be achieved through the sophisticated control of its constituent components such as electrodes, electrolytes, interconnects and sealing materials. The electrochemical conversion efficiency of a SOFC is particularly dependent upon the performance of its electrode materials. The electrode materials should meet highly stringent requirements to optimize cell performance. In particular, both mass and charge transport should easily occur simultaneously through the electrode structure. Matter transport or charge transport is critically related to the configuration and spatial disposition of the three constituent phases of a composite electrode, which are the ionic conducting phase, electronic conducting phase, and the pores. The current work places special emphasis on the quantification of this complex microstructure of composite electrodes. Digitized images are exploited in order to obtain the quantitative microstructural information, i.e., the size distributions and interconnectivities of each constituent component. This work reports regarding zirconia-based composite electrodes.

The artificial aggregates with dense surface layer (shell) was fabricated and the dependence of water emission rate upon the shell structures was studied. The EAF dust containing many flux components and waste white clay with ignition loss of above 48% were used as for liquid phase and gas forming agents during a sintering process respectively. In addition, the shell structure was modified with various processes and the modification effect on water emission rate was analyzed. The pores under $10{\mu}m$ were found in the sintered artificial light aggregates and disappeared by incorporating to a bigger pore during re-sintering. The water emission rate in an initial step depended on a void content of aggregates filled in a bottle rather than a shell structure. But, after 7 days where the water emission of the aggregate with a shell is above 40%, the shell of aggregates suppressed the water emission. The core of aggregates was exposed and most shell was lost when crushed to smaller size so, the ability for suppressing water emission of the crushed aggregates decreased. The activation energy for the water emission was $3.46{\pm}0.25{\times}10^{-1}$J/mol for the most specimens showing that the activation energy is irrelevant to the pore size distribution and shell structure.

In order to improve the refresh rate of old newspaper(ONP), PCC shape-controlling experiments were carried out. The effect of a PCC polymorph on improving the quality of old newspaper was studied for a transformation from waste paper to eco-friendly paper. The synthesis of PCC consists of an in-situ process and a loading process to enhance the refresh rate of old newspaper. The characteristics between the in-situ process and the loading process could be analysed by SEM analyses of coated fiber surfaces. The retention rate ranges from 65 to 67% after the application of the in-situ process, and that after the loading process ranges from 55 to 58%. The retention rates thus show a difference of about 7-10%. In addition, the whiteness and ERIC characteristics of the in-situ process gave more efficient results than those of the loading process.
