본 논문에서 트럭의 고장 발생 가능성과 파쇄기의 처리 용량 변화를 고려하여 노천광산 소밸-트럭 운반시스템의 시뮬레이션을 수행한 사례연구 결과를 제시한다. 강원도 동해시에 위치한 쌍용자원개발 석회석 노천광산을 연구지역으로 선정하고, 시뮬레이션 알고리즘을 설계 하였다. GPSS/H 시뮬레이션 언어를 이용하여 설계된 시뮬레이션 알고리즘들을 콘솔 프로그램 형식의 시뮬레이터로 개발하였다. 또한, 연구지역의 현장조사를 통해 시뮬레이터에 입력되는 인자 값들은 직접 측정하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 40시간 빈도의 트럭 고장 발생 가능성을 고려할 경우에는 7대의 트럭을 시스템에 투입하는 것이 하루 평균수익을 73,775 USD로 최대화할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, 파쇄기의 처리 용량은 1,300 thp로 운영하는 것이 연구지역의 쇼밸-트럭 운반 시스템의 효율을 높일 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

암석 파쇄도는 노천의 벤치발파에서 생산성을 좌우하는 요소이다. 벤치발파에서 암석 파쇄도는 여러 가지 조건의 영향을 받게 되는데, 특히 암반의 불연속면 조건과 자연상태 암반 블록의 크기는 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이 연구에서는 석회석을 생산하는 3개 노천광산에서 발파조건 뿐 아니라 암반의 불연속면 조건과 자연상태 암반 블록크기를 면밀히 조사하여 이들 조건이 암석 파쇄도에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 분석 결과 암반의 불연속면 조건과 발파조건은 복합적인 상호작용에 의해 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌으며, 특히 자연상태 암반 블록의 크기는 암석 파쇄도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 암석 파쇄도는 암반의 불연속면 조건 중 주절리군의 방향에 의해서도 영향을 받는 것으로 확인되었는데, 주절리군의 방향이 벤치 앞쪽 자유면과 $30^{\circ}$의 경사를 이룰 때 파쇄물의 평균크기가 가장 작게 되는 것으로 나타났다. 이런 현상은 발파로 만들어진 탄성파의 전파경로 차이에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다.

Diesel vehicles are a significant source of fine carbon particle emissions including polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Urinary 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) is firmly established as a useful biomarker of PAHs uptake in human. To investigate the exposure effect of PAHs in miners according to using diesel truck which was for transportation of ore, we measured urinary 1-OHP as the PAHs exposure biomarker, and analyzed the relationship between urinary 1-OHP concentration and using diesel truck. The study was performed on 118 workers (56 miners in factories using diesel truck, 62 miners in factories non-using diesel truck) and 21 controls. Urine samples were obtained at the end of shift on the survey day. There was no significance in comparison with the mean concentrations on urinary 1-OHP by age, BMI, work duration, smoking, drinking and ventilation type. But significant difference were found among urinary 1-OHP concentrations on factories according to using diesel truck (p=0.000). The urinary 1-OHP mean concentration on underground miners using diesel truck ($0.54{\mu}mol/mol$ creatinine) was higher than those of surface miners using diesel truck ($0.33{\mu}mol/mol$ creatinine, p=0.028), underground miners non-using diesel truck ($0.32{\mu}mol/mol$ creatinine, p=0.001) and controls ($0.22{\mu}mol/mol$ creatinine, p=0.000). In comparison with using status diesel truck, the urinary 1-OHP mean concentration of underground miners using diesel trucks was higher than those of other mine status. The study results would be beneficial to future environmental and biological studies of PAHs exposure to diesel exhaust in mines.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of chronical exposure to high-level dusts on cellular immune function. Methods: The subjects were 110 male workers, among whom 60 were chronically exposed to high-level dusts in mica, limestone and iron mines. The remaining 50 were office workers. Ambient total, respirable dust and crystalline silica in the workplace were sampled using personal air samplers and analyzed according to NIOSH method 0500. Serum levels of hydrogen peroxide, lipid peroxide and superoxide misutase activity were measured using absorption chromatography. The subpopulations of CD4+, CD8+, natural killer cells (CD16+) and CD3+ T-lymphocytes were examined by two-color staining using monoclonal antibodies. Results: The concentration of hydrogen peroxide was significantly higher in exposed workers and superoxide dismutase activity was significantly higher in control workers. No significant difference in numbers of T-lymphocyte subpopulations were observed between exposed and control workers. A significant correlation in exposed workers was observed among total dusts, respirable dusts and crystalline silica. Hydrogen peroxide was significantly correlated with total dust (r=0.720, p<0.01), respirable dust (r=0.770, p<0.01) and crystalline silica (r=0.678, p<0.01). Concentration of hydrogen peroxide showed a significantly negative correlation with numbers of CD8+ cells (r=-0.274, p<0.01), CD3+ cells (r=-0.222, p<0.01) and natural killer cells (r=-0.556, p<0.01). Conclusions: These results suggest that chronical exposure to high-level dust affects cellular immune function and effects might mediate through reactive oxygen species and inflammatory response.

To assess the relationship between Cd fraction in paddy soils and Cd in polished rice, soils and rice were analyzed at the 3 Cd contaminated paddy fields near closed mines. Major Cd fractions of A field were organically bound (62.6%) and Fe-Mn oxide bound (25.3%) forms. In case of B field, major Cd fractions of B1 field were carbonate bound (46.3%) and Fe-Mn oxide bound (31.6%) form whereas B2 field were residual (54.3%) and carbonate bound (21.8%) form, respectively. It showed a huge difference of Cd fraction each other. 0.1M HCl extractable Cd in soil was positively correlated with Cd in rice. Specially, the ratios of 0.1M HCl extractable Cd against total Cd content in soils were 13.7%, 2.6%, and 0.45% in A, B1, and B2 fields, respectively. These ratio were largely affected with Cd uptake to rice grain. Also, exchangable, Fe-Mn oxide bound, and carbonate bound form, which are partially bioavailable Cd fraction to the plant, were positively correlated with Cd in rice while organically bound and residual form was not correlated. Multiple regression equation was developed with Rice Cd = -0.02861 + 0.07456 FR 1(exchangeable) + 0.00252 FR 2(carbonate bound) + 0.001075 FR 3(Fe Mn oxide bound) - 0.00095 FR 4(organically bound) - 0.00348 FR 5(residual) ($R^2=0.7893^{***}$) considering Cd fraction in soils.

In manufacturing automotive parts, such as engine cradles, frame rails, subframes, cross-members, and other parts from circular tubes, pre-bending and pre-forming operations are often required prior to the subsequent tubular hydroforming process. During some pre-forming operations, the cross section of a bent circular tube is crushed into an oval-like shape to ensure proper geometry and sufficient clearance in the hydroforming dies. For such applications, the use of oval Instead of circular tubes could be an effective means of eliminating the pre-forming step. The oval tube could also be produced with less thinning and with less strain on the outside of the bend when controlled by a booster system without the use of mandrel. Hence, the understanding of the issues that occur in the bending of oval tubes is worthy of Investigation. This paper presents parametric studies on the bending of oval tubes without a mandrel. The finite element modeling technique is used to examine the deformation characteristics for both circular and oval tubes. In the simulations, the bending process parameters of bend radius, aspect ratio of the tube ovalness, and tube wall thickness are varied. Observations are made to obtain a hoop-buckle limit diagram in terms of a non-dimensional shape degradation factor. Suggestions based upon developed criteria are made on the acceptability of bend tubes suitable for hydroforming applications without the need ofa pre-forming step or the used of a mandrel.

Sulfur hexafluoride ($SF_6$), one of the most potent greenhouse gases, is known as a hydrate former and has been studied at the high pressure up to 1.3 GPa with gas mixtures and with aqueous surfactant. Since we regard $SF_6$ as a potential promoter molecule that can stabilize hydrate structure more effectively compare to the other promoters, further investigation is required to verify the stabilizing ability of $SF_6$ in the hydrate structure. However, the insoluble nature of $SF_6$ in water or gases hinders fine scale analyses. This work discusses the data obtained by using molecular dynamics simulations of structure II (sII) clathrate hydrates containing $SF_6$ and $H_2$. The simulations were performed using the TIP4P/Ice model for water molecule and a previously reported $SF_6$ molecular model (optimized at the pure $SF_6$ single phase system (Olivet and Vega, 2007)), and a $H_2$ molecular model (adapted from the THF+$H_2$ hydrate system (Alavi et al., 2006)). The simulations are performed to observe the stability of $SF_6$ and $H_2$ in the sII clathrate hydrate system with varying temperature and pressure conditions and occupancies of $SF_6$ and $H_2$, which cannot be easily tuned experimentally. We observe that stability of H2 enclathrated in the hydrate structure more affected by the occupancy of $SF_6$ molecules and temperature than pressure, which ranges from 1 to 100 bar.

Several mines including Namil, Solim and Jungbong which are located in the Gyeonggi and Kangwon province have been abandoned and closed since 1980 due to "The promotion policy of mining industry". An enormous amount of mining wastes was disposed without proper treatment, which caused soil pollution in tailing dam and ore-dressing plant areas. However, any quantitative assessment was not performed about soil and water pollution by transporting mining wastes such as acid mine drainage, mine tailing, and rocky waste. In this research, heavy metals in mining wastes were analyzed according to leaching method which used 0.1 N HCl and total solution method which used Aqua-regia to recognize the ecological effect of distance from hot spot. We sampled tailings, rocky wastes and soils around the abandoned mine. Chemical and physical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total organic carbon (TOC), soil texture and heavy metal concentration were analyzed. The range of soil's pH is between 4.3 and 6.4 in the tailing dam and oredressing plant area due to mining activity. Total concentrations of As, Cu, and Pb in soil near ore dressing plant area are 250.9, 249.3 and 117.2 mg/kg respectively, which are higher than any other ones near tailing dam area. Arsenic concentration in tailing dams is 31.0 mg/kg, which is also considered as heavily polluted condition comparing with the remediation required level(RRL) in "Soil environment conservation Act".
