Cobalt (Co) is mainly used to prepare cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and binder metals for WC-Co hard metals. Developing an effective method for recovering Co from WC-Co waste sludge is of immense significance. In this study, Co is extracted from waste cemented carbide soft scrap via mechanochemical milling. The leaching ratio of Co reaches approximately 93%, and the leached solution, from which impurities except nickel are removed by pH titration, exhibits a purity of approximately 97%. The titrated aqueous Co salts are precipitated using oxalic acid and hydroxide precipitation, and the effects of the precipitating agent (oxalic acid and hydroxide) on the cobalt microstructure are investigated. It is confirmed that the type of Co compound and the crystal growth direction change according to the precipitation method, both of which affect the microstructure of the cobalt powders. This novel mechanochemical process is of significant importance for the recovery of Co from waste WC-Co hard metal. The recycled Co can be applied as a cemented carbide binder or a cathode material for lithium secondary batteries.

수용성 매체에서 젤-케스팅 공정을 이용하여 용융실리카를 기본으로 하는 다성분계 세라믹 코어 (中子)를 제조하고, 소결조건에 따른 제반 기계적 물성과 알칼리 부식용액에 의한 용출특성을 고찰하였다. 1000cP (at $50sec^{-1}$ ) 이하의 낮은 점도를 갖는 50vol%의 고농도 다성분계 세라믹 슬림의 제조가 가능하였다. 성형체는 안정화시킨 슬림을 몰드에 부어 상온에서 겔화시킨 후 $25^{\circ}C$, 80% 상대습도 분위기 하에서 48시간동안 건조시켜 제조하였으며 건조된 성형체에는 균열이 발생하지 않았다. 세라믹 코어 성형체의 소결온도가 상승할 수록 상온강도, 겉보기 밀도, 수축률은 시편의 기공도와 역비례하여 증가하였다. 세라믹 코어 소결체의 용출속도는 동일한 온도에서 알칼리 부식용액의 농도에 의존하였으며, 소결체의 기공도가 클수록 증가하였다.

Sol-gel derived phosphate water-sioluble glasses containing Cu were prepared. Powder-shape of glasses were added in D.I water used polyethylene bottle. After solution contained glass powder were submerged in water bath on 25$^{\circ}C$ their dissolution behavior/characteristics bactericidal effect and cytotoxicity test were evaluated. The maximum amount of Cu(35 mol%) via sol-gel method was more 5 mol% increased than that with melting process. The stage of total dissolution was more dominant than that of selective leaching dur-ing dissolution due to dissolved amount of glasses increased linearly with time. The ratio of Cu+ to {{{{ {Cu }^{2+ } }} was 3:7 so that the structure of glasses is more predominant 2-dimension chain structure than 3-dimenshion po-lymeric structue. The stage of total dissolution was more dominant than that of selective leaching during dissolution. Bactericidal effect against all bacteria showed that solutions which contained 40 ppm and 100 ppm of Cu killed 80 percentages of bacteria within 2 hours and 100 percentages of those within 12 hours. The results of cytotoxicity test for L929 cells showed no cytotoxicity were observed within 96 hours for dis-solved solution that contains 40 ppm and 100 ppm of Cu.

ZrB2 powders were prepared from a mixture of ZrO2, B2O3 and Mg by self-propagating high temperature synthesis method. The combustion product was successfully obtained from a mixture of ZrO2:B2O3:Mg=1:2:8.5 molar ratio. By-product, MgO was effectively removed by leaching with 1M HCl solution at 9$0^{\circ}C$ for over 5hours. After leaching, the Mg content was 0.86~1.42 wt%, and the mean particle size was 4.72${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The addition of 7.5 wt%(14Ni:1.0C) as a sintering aid greatly densified ZrB2 bodies compared with that of only Ni. The ZrB2 sintered bodies containing 7.5 wt%(14Ni:1.0C) was 94.3% of the theoretical density. In this case, ZrB2 existed as a major phase and had a bend strength of 300 MPa and a vickers hardness of 2000 kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$.

A stabilization/solidification (S/S) process for lead (Pb) contaminated soils was evaluated using waste cow bone containing apatite like compounds. Soil samples obtained form firing range were treated with waste cow bone. The effectiveness of stabilization was evaluated based on the Korean Standard Leaching Test (KSLT) and soil pH. The leached concentration reduced with increased in dose of waste cow bone. Overall, the KSLT results showed that Pb concentration in soils are significantly affected by amount of waste cow bone. When soil amended with 20 % of waste cow bone, less than 0.1 mg/kg was leached, and soil pH was increased from 6.5 to 8.4. Same results were obtained when finer waste cow bone was applied. The reachable concentration of Pb in soil showed in inversely proportional to solid/liquid ratio. Aging periods indicate improving mix design was applied. Relatively high lead concentrations was observed at the first 1 days, however leaching profile are reduced significantly over time for all mix designs.

Epoxy resins are mostly used as a molding material for drinking water tank. Bisphenol A is used at a constituent material for epoxy resins and is widely suspected to act as an endocrine disrupter. In this study, we investigated embryo hatching in zebrafish reared in water undergone leaching process of expoxy resin, and found a decreased survival rate. Bisphenol A eluted from epoxy resin in drinking water tank was completely degraded by TiO$_2$ photocatalysis. We detected 7.8 ng/ml of bisphenol A in epoxy resin tank, and observed that the concentration was undetectable after 48h photocatalysis over TiO$_2$. There was no toxicity in hatching rates in zebrafish and morphogenesis after photocatalysis. The effect of TiO$_2$ photocatalytic reactions on the catalase activities in the f]y stage of zebrafish was also examined. At 1 week post hatching, cataiase activities were higher both in the group of epoxy resin with 48 h TiO$_2$ photocatalysis and in the TiO$_2$ photocatalysis for 48 hours were higher than control group. However catalase activities of the treatment group of epoxy resin by TiO$_2$ photocatalysis for 48 hours were similar to control in 5 weeks post hatching fries. In conclusion, the toxicity of TiO$_2$ photocatalysis was not observed in this zebrafish.

There has been much interest in recycling electronic wastes in order to mitigate environmental problems and to recover the large amount of constituent metals. Silver recovery from electronic waste is extensively studied because of environmental and economic benefits and the use of silver in fabricating nanodevices. Hydrometallurgical processing is often used for silver recovery because it has the advantages of low cost and ease of control. Research on synthesis recovered silver into nanoparticles is needed for application to transistors and solar cells. In this study, silver is selectively recovered from the by-product of electrodes. Silver precursors are prepared using the dissolution characteristics of the leaching solution. In the liquid reduction process, silver nanoparticles are synthesized under various surfactant conditions and then analyzed. The purity of the recovered silver is 99.24%, and the average particle size of the silver nanoparticles is 68 nm.

한국원자력연구소에서 약 4,500드럼 규모의 토양폐기물을 임시로 보관하고 있다. 이를 안전하게 처리하기 위한 고화기술 개발이 필요함에 따라 시멘트와 폴리머를 선정하여 시험을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 토양폐기물에 시멘트와 폴리머를 적절히 혼합하여 고화시편을 제조하였으며, 저장에 따른 처분기준 만족여부를 평가하기 위하여 압축강도시험과 침출시험을 수행하였다. 폐기물함량이 40%인 시멘트고화체와 65%인 폴리머고화체의 압축강도가 약 5,300psi로서 유사하였으며, 침출지수는 11 이상으로서 모든 시편에서 기준치를 만족하였다. 고화과정의 균질한 혼합여부와 시편의 다짐상태가 고화체의 건전성에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 감용효과는 폴리머고화체가 시멘트고화체에 비해 20% 정도 우수한 것으로 평가되었다.

금과 은은 귀금속으로 첨단소재를 제조하는데 사용된다. 용매추출은 다양한 침출용액으로 부터 순수한 금과 은을 회수할 수 있는 중요한 공정이다. 본 논문에서는 cyanide, thiocyanate, thiosulfate, thiourea과 염산용액에서 금(I, III)과 은(I)의 용액화학 및 용매추출에 의한 분리를 고찰했다. 여러 단독 및 혼합추출제에 의한 금(I, III)과 은(I)의 용매추출 및 분리거동을 각 침출용액에서 추출반응과 추출제의 선택도를 토대로 비교했다. 염산용액이 용매추출에 의한 금과 은의 분리의 효율측면에서 적당하다.
