Direct reduced iron was made using an electric furnace. The reduction ratio of direct reduced iron varied depending on the grade of iron ore. Coal played an important role as a reducing agent in making the direct reduced iron. The coal must contain a suitable amount of volatile components having high calorie values and low impurity content. In this study, oxidized pellets were directly reduced using anthracite as a reductant in an electric furnace. Direct reduction behaviors of hematite and magnetite pellets were confirmed in a coal-based experiment. Reduction behaviors were demonstrated by analyzing the chemical compositions, measuring the reducibility, and observing the phase changes and microstructure. The superior reducibility of hematite pellets can be ascribed to their high effective diffusivity, which is due to their high porosity. The quickly after reducing for 40min and achieves a high value at the end of the reduction.

Characteristics of $UO_{2+x}$ powders oxidized at different temperatures were examined. Pellets were fabricated by adding these oxidation powders and their properties were also investigated. Particle size of the $UO_{2+x}$ powders decreased with increasing oxidation temperature while surface area increased. Only the powders oxidized at 35$0^{\circ}C$ enhanced the strength of green pellet. However, 35$0^{\circ}C$ oxidized powders added pellet had many surface defects. The difference of shrinkage rate between the oxidized and UO$_2$ powders was thought to be the cause of them.

The dry pulverizing/Mixing device is used to deal with the spent fuels for the safe disposal. The separated pellets from hulls by a slitting device are put and oxidized from UO$_2$ solid pellet to U$_3$O$\_$8/ powder in the device. The device have been developed based on a voloxidation method which is one of several dry de-cladding methods. We have benchmarked dry de-cladding methods, analyzed applicability to the advanced spent fuel management process, integrated and compared several configuration, and finally derived detailed specifications proper to requirements for the device. Also, thermal characteristics of the device such as thermal stress and strain have been analyzed by the commercial software, 1-DEAS, and the reliability of the results have been verified by the KOLAS(Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme). The UO$_2$ solid pellets are put in the device which has a capacity of 20 kgHM per a batch, heated up about 600$^{\circ}C$ in the air environment. Then, the UO$_2$ solid pellets are oxidized into the U$_3$O$\_$8/ powder, and the powder is collected in a special vessel. The device has been designed and developed as fellows: the multi-staged fine hole meshes are used to reduce the size of the powder gradually, heat and air(oxygen) are supplied continuously to reduce the reaction time, and slight vibration effect are applied to collect powder cling to the device.

$UO_2$ Pellet의 침출도식을 유도하고 실험 자료와 비교검토 하였다. 침출속도 모델은 산소의 Pellet 내부고의 침투로 인한 $UO_2$의 산화과정과 침투 깊이에 따른 산화 $UO_2$의 용해 및 이동과정을 고려하여 얻어 졌다. 이 모델에 의하면 침출속도는 전이상태와 정상상태의 두 영역으로 나뉘어질 수 있으며 변화하는 양상은 초기의 산화상태에 따라 달라진다. 또한 이 모델식은 $UO_2$의 산화반응을 유사한 다른 침출구조에 적용할 수 있어서 일반적 인 침출현상의 해석에 사용될 수 있다.

Unirradiated UO2 pellets were pulverized by oxidation in air at 40$0^{\circ}C$, and the oxidized powders were reduced in H2 and CO atmospheres at $600^{\circ}C$. During the oxidation of UO2 at 40$0^{\circ}C$, intergranular cracks which caused the spallation were mainly developed by the volume contraction due to the formation of intermediate phase (U4O9 or U3O7). As oxidation proceeded, U3O8 finally formed. As the oxidation/reduction cycles were repeated, the powder surface became coarser, specific surface area was increased and average particle size was decreased. The sintered densities of the powder were increased by the oxidation/reduction cycle due to the characteristic changes of the powder.

Methylobacillus sp. strain SK1, which grows only on methanol, was found to grow in the absence of added copper. The doubling time (t$_{d}$ = 1.3 h) of the bacterium growing at the exponential growth phase at 30.deg.C in the absence of copper was the same as that of the cell growing in the presence of copper. The bacterium growing after the exponential phase in the absence of copper, however, grew faster than the cell growing in the presence of copper. Cells harvested after thee arly stationary phase in the presence of copper were found to exhibit no methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) activity, but the amount and subunit structure of the enzyme in the cells were almost the same as that in cells harboring active MDH. Pellets of the cells harvested after the early stationary phase in the presence of copper were pale green. Cell-free extracts prepared from cells harvested at the early stationary phase in the presence of copper were pink and exhibited MDH activity, but it turned dark-green rapidly from the surface under air. The green-colored portions of the extracts showed no MDH activity and contained c-type cytochromes that were oxidized completely. The inactive MDH activity and contained c-type cytochromes that were oxidized completely. The inactive MDH proteins in the green portions were found to have antigenic sites identical to those of the active one as the inactive MDHs in cells grown in the presence of copper. The bacterium was found to accumulate copper actively during the exponential growth phase. MDH prepared from cells grown in the presence or absence of copper was found to be more stable under nitrogen gas than under air. Methanol at 10 mM was found to enhance the stability of the MDH under air.r.

본 논문은 비열평형 플라즈마와 촉매를 이용하여 트리클로로에틸렌의 효과적인 분해방법을 제안하였다. 이를 위하여 이산화망간과 알루미나 펠렛을 플라즈마 리액터 내부에 충진한 리액터를 설계하였다. 이산화망간 충진 리백터를 이용할 경우에는 산소를 포함한 가스중의 방전에 의해 발생된 오존이 촉매 표면에서 분해되는 동안에 발생된 산소원자 라디칼에 의하여 TCE의 분해율이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 알루미나를 충진한 경우에는 TCE DCAC로 산화되었으며, COx 및 $Cl_2$와 같은 저분자상으로 많이 분해되지 않았다. 그러나 알루미나 충진 리액터에 의한 플라즈마 처리된 가스를 리액터 후단에 설치한 이산화망간 촉매를 통과시킴에 의하여 분해율이 매우 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 플라즈마 프로세스에 이산화망간을 응용함에 의하여 오존 분해에 따른 촉매 표면의 산소원자 라디칼에 의하여 TCE 및 분해 생성물(DCAC)를 효율적으로 분해하는 것이 가능하다.

전기로 제강분진(EAFD : Electric Arc Furnace Dust) 중에 다량 함유되어있는 아연을 회수하기 위한 재활용 기술로서, 현재 세계적으로 가장 많이 상용화된 기술은 Wealz Kiln Process이다. Wealz Kiln Process에서는, 제강분진 중의 Zn, Pb 등과 같은 성분들을 고온의 Kiln에서 환원/휘발(흡열반응)시킨 후에 다시 기체상에서 재산화(발열반응)시켜 후단에 설치된 Bag Filter에서 조산화아연(60wt%Zn)의 형태로 회수하는 프로세스이다. 본 연구에서는, 상업용 규모의 대형 kiln의 재활용 공정에 실제로 적용하기 위한 최적의 공정변수 값을 조사하기 위해서, 실험용 Wealz kiln을 제작하였다. 그리고, 전기로 제강분진과 환원제, 석회석을 혼합한 Pellet을 연속적으로 Kiln에 장입하면서, 조산화아연 회수율을 얻기 위한 최적의 장입량과 가열온도, 체류시간 등을 조사하였다. 또한 Pellet의 최적의 제조조건( Drum 경사각, 수분의 첨가량, 혼합시간 등)도 조사하였다. 또한, SiO₂-CaO-FeO 3성분계 상태도를 참고하여, Pellet의 염기도(basicity)의 변화에 따른 Kiln 내부에서의 저융점 화합물의 생성거동과 Kiln내벽에 시공된 Castable과의 반응성(부착성)을 평가하여 보았다. 그리고, 환원제인 Coke의 대체제로서 무연탄의 사용 가능성을 실질적으로 평가하기 위하여, 무연탄의 첨가량 증가에 따라서 산화/환원반응이 일어나는 Kiln 내부의 온도분포변화, 조산화아연의 품위, 무연탄 중의 타르(Tar)의 거동에 대해서도 조사하였다.
