In-situ leaching could be one of the promising mining methods to extract the minerals from deep fractured rock mass. Constrained by the low permeability at depth, however, the performance does not meet the expectation. In fact, the rock mass permeability mainly depends on the pre-existing natural fractures and therefore play a crucial role in in-situ leaching performance. More importantly, fractures have various characteristics, such as aperture, persistence, and density, which have diverse contributions to the promising method. Hence, it is necessary to study the variation of fluid rate versus fracture parameters to enhance in-situ leaching performance. Firstly, the subsurface fractures from the depth of 1500m to 2500m were mapped using the discrete fracture network (DFN) in this paper, and then the numerical model was calibrated at a particular case. On this basis, the fluid flow through fractured rock mass with various fracture characteristics was analyzed. The simulation results showed that with the increase of Fisher' K value, which determine the fracture orientation, the flow rate firstly decreased and then increased. Subsequently, as another critical factor affecting the fluid flow in natural fractures, the fracture transmissivity has a direct relationship with the flow rate. Sensitive study shows that natural fracture characteristics play a critical role in in-situ leaching performance.

지하암반에서 지하구조물을 구축하는 경우, 지하구조물의 안정성 확보를 위한 굴착, 지보 및 대책공법은 현지 암반응력의 크기 및 방향에 큰 영향을 받게 된다. 따라서 터널과 같은 지하구조물의 설계와 안정성 해석에 있어서 현지 암반응력의 분포특성을 고려하는 것은 대단히 중요한 문제라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 암반응력을 고려한 터널설계 사례를 통하여 합리적이고, 안정적인 지하구조물 설계 방안에 대하여 고찰하고자 하였다 이를 위하여 Q-System에 의한 암반분류시 입력변수인 응력저감계수(SRF) 평가과정 및 표준지보패턴 설계 사례에 대하여 검토하였다. 또한 터널안정성 해석시 측압계수 크기 및 주응력 방향을 변수로 한 수치해석을 수행하여 터널 안정성 해석시 개선사항에 대하여 제안하였다.

Pyrolysis-mass spectrometry has been used to characterize the 17 biological materials including bacteria and proteins. In this study, an in situ thermal-hydrolysis methylation(THM) procedure using tetramethylammonium hydroxide(TMAH) was employed. The biological materials are ionized using chemical ionization(CI) method with ethanol by ion trap mass spectrometer(ITMS), which attached with our own made pyrolyzer module, and then their pyrolysis mass spectra were obtained. The major distinct characteristic peaks were selected from all the range of mass spectra, and analyzed using principal component analysis(PCA) method to assess the classification/identification possibility of biological materials.

The rapid and accurate identification of biological agents is a critical step in the case of bio-terror and biological warfare attacks. Recently, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry has been widely used for the identification of microorganisms. In this study, we describe a method for the rapid and accurate discrimination of Bacillus anthracis spores using MALDI-TOF MS. Our direct in-situ analysis of MALDI-TOF MS does not involve subsequent high-resolution mass analyses and sample preparation steps. This method allowed the detection of species-specific biomarkers from each Bacillus spores. Especially, B. anthracis spores had specific biomarker peaks at 2503, 3089, 3376, 6684, 6698, 6753, and 6840 m/z. Cluster and PCA analyses of the mass spectra of Bacillus spores revealed distinctively separated clusters and within-groups similarity. Therefore, we believe that this method is effective in the real-time identification of biological warfare agents such as B. anthracis as well as other microorganisms in the field.

The evaluation process of rock mass properties intrinsically contains some uncertainty due to the inhomogeneity of rock mass and the measurement error. Although various empirical methods for the determination of rock mass properties were suggested, there is no way of integrating various information on rock mass properties except averaging. For these reasons, this research introduces evidence theory which can model epistemic uncertainty and yield reasonable rock mass properties through combining various information such as empirical equations, in-situ test results, and so on. Through the application of evidence theory to the real site investigation and in situ experiment results, an interval of deformation modulus, cohesion and friction angle of rock mass were obtained. The ratios between lower and upper bound of those properties ranges from 1.6 to 3.6. Numerical analyses of circular hole using the properties for TYPE-2 rock mass were carried out. The magnitude or size of plastic region and radial displacement in case of lower bound properties is about 4 times larger than that of upper bound properties.

Corestone rock mass has complex characters because it is made up of stronger and stiffer corestone in a weaker and softer matrix. Physical model corestone rock mass made up of stiffer corestone in weaker matrix were tested in uniaxial compression and numercal modelling analysis The result of the uniaxial compression tests showed that increasing the corestone proportion generally increased the modulus of deformation. And the strength decreased in the lower corestone proportion, but it increased in the higher proportion(45%, 65% corestone by volume). The strength and the modulus of deformation were not affected by different size coretone on the same proportion. The result of the numerical modelling analysis showed similar trend compared with the result of the result of the uniaxial compression test. But though the result of th uniaxial compression test is similar to the result of the numerical modelling analysis, it's unreasonalble to apply the results of this paper to in situ corestone rock mass. So mere laboratory tests including triaxial test and the other numerical program analyses are necessary to apply the results to in situ corestone mass

본 연구에서는 고심도 금속광산갱도에 대한 안정성 해석을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 수압파쇄법으로 암반의 초기지압을 측정하였고, 현장에서 채취한 암석코어로 수많은 실내물성시험을 실시하여 무결암의 물성 값을 산출하였으며, 현장조사를 통해 GSI, RMR 분류법으로 암반을 분류하였다. 암반분류 결과에 대한 시나리오 분석과 확률론적 평가를 통해 광산 갱도를 최상조건, 평균조건, 최하조건으로 구분하였으며, 각 조건별 탄소성해석을 통해 갱도의 안정성을 평가하였다. 또한, 갱도의 형상과 발파손상대의 영향을 고려한 해석을 통해 갱도의 적절한 규격과 지보패턴을 조사하였는데, 본 광산 갱도의 안정성 제고를 위해서는 갱도의 천반 곡률반경을 감소시키거나 천정부 보강이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, in-situ performance test of a wet surface finned-tube evaporator of an air source heat pump which has a rating capacity of 20 RT is carried out. Since test conditions, such as indoor and outdoor air conditions cannot be controlled to satisfy the standard test conditions, experiments are done with the inlet air conditions as they exist. From the experimental data, air side heat and mass transfer coefficients were calculated by the well known heat and mass transfer analogy and tube-by-tube method. Since current procedure underpredicted the experimental sensible heat factor (SHF), a proper empirical parameter was introduced to predict the experimental data with satisfactory results. This study provides the method of evaluating the heat and mass transfer coefficients of a wet surface finned-tube evaporator of which in-situ performance test is necessary.

The effects of Mg content on the pore formation, density and critical properties were investigated in in-situ reacted $MgB_2$ superconductors. The $Mg_{1+x}B_2$, (x=-0.2, 0.0, 0.05, 0.3, 1.0) bulk samples with different Mg contents were heat-treated at $900^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in an Ar atmosphere. The dimensional changes of a pellet's mass and volume after heat-treatment were measured. After heat-treatment process, the sample mass was decreased by Mg evaporation, but the sample volume was expanded by pore formation at the Mg site; therefore, the apparent density was decreased. Spherical pores the same as Mg particles were developed after heat-treatment in all samples, and the pore density was increased with increasing Mg content. As the x of Mg content was increased to 1.0, the apparent density of $Mg_{1+x}B_2$ samples was decreased due to a relatively larger reduction in a mass change. The critical current density of Mg excessive sample of x=0.05 showed the highest values over the applied magnetic fields because the excessive Mg may compensate Mg loss and enhance grain connectivity.

현장시추코어를 이용한 역학적, 수리학적 분석을 수행하여 거제지역 화강암체의 공학적 특성을 산정하였다. 코어분석시에 현장응력의 영향이 고려될 수 없어서 암반불류에 의거하여 산정된 공학적 성질들이 현장실험결과와 상이하게 도출되기도 하였다. 암반분류, 공내실험 및 실내실험 결과에 근거하여 지하공동 설계에 대한 경험적 계수들을 산정하였다. 거제도 남단에 분포하는 화강암체의 경우, 비록 균열대가 존재하지만, 상당히 양호한 암반상태를 나타내고 있으며, 대규모 지하시설도 용이하게 건설될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
