This study was carried out to recover gold, silver and other valuable metals from the printed circuit boards (PCB) of waste computers. PCB samples were crushed to under 1mm by a shredder and initially separated into 30% conducting and 70% non-conducting materials by an electrostatic separator. The conducting materials, which contained the valuable metals, were then used as the feed material for magnetic separation where it was found that 42% was magnetic and 58% non- magnetic. The non-magnetic materials contained 0.227mg/g Au and 0.697mg/g Ag. Further leaching of the non-magnetic component using 2.0M sulfuric acid and 0.2M hydrogen peroxide at 85$^{\circ}C$ extracted more than 95% copper, iron, zinc, nickel and aluminium. Au and Ag were not extracted in this solution, however, more than 95% of Au and 100% of Ag were selectively leached with a mixed solvent (0.2M ammonium thiosulfate, 0.02M copper sulfate, 0.4M ammonium hydroxide). Finally, the residues were reacted with a NaCl solution to leach out Pb while sulfuric acid was used to leach out Sn. Recoveries reached 95% and 98% in solution, respectively.

Separation/recovery of valuable metals such as zinc, nickel or tin from copper alloy dross has recently attracted from the viewpoints of environmental protection and resource recycling. In this study, preliminary investigation on separation of tin (Sn) from copper alloy dross using selective dissolution method was performed. The tin in the copper alloy dross did not dissolve in an aqueous nitric acid solution which could allow the concentration/separation of tin from the copper alloy dross. Precipitation of tin as $H_2SnO_3$ (meta stannic acid)occurred in the solution and transformed to tin dioxide ($SnO_2$) after drying process. The dried sample was heat-treated at low temperature and its crystal structure, surface morphology and chemical composition were investigated.

The selective separation of hydrogen from gas mixture containing hydrogen was experimentally studied using $LaNi_5$. The capacity and the rate of hydrogen separation, the purity of recovered hydrogen and the optimum condition of the regeneration of deactivated $LaNi_5$ were investigated. The separation rate and the recovery ratio of hydrogen were slowly decreased with the increase of the number of hydrogen absorption cycle. It was found that this result comes from the deactivation of $LaNi_5$ partly because of the blocking of hydrocarbon compounds in the $LaNi_5$ lattice and partly because of the poisoning of $LaNi_5$ surface by carbon monoxide contained in the gas mixture. The optimum condition for the regeneration of deactivated $LaNi_5$ was obtained by heating in a vacuum to about 637 K. The recovery ratio of hydrogen at the optimum condition was observed to be about 80%. The rates of hydrogen separation were measured in the ${\alpha}$-phase and two phase regions. The rate equations could be expressed as follows ; ${\alpha}$ - phase : $$-\frac{dP{_{H_2}}}{dt}=9.836{\times}10^{-3}(P{_{H_2}}_{-P_{eq}})$$ two phase region : $$-\frac{dP_{H{_2}}}{dt}=1.6909{\times}10^2\exp(-17560/RT)(P{_{H_2}}_{-P_{eq}})$$.

선택적 고체순환을 위한 2탑 유동층 공정에서 고체분리기에 의한 고체분리속도에 미치는 조업변수들의 영향을 측정 및 고찰하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 고체분리기를 이용하여 굵은입자(212~300 또는 $425{\sim}600{\mu}m$)와 고운입자($63{\sim}106{\mu}m$)의 분리가 가능하였으며 고체분리속도는 66~987 g/min의 범위를 나타내었다. 고체분리속도는 고체분사노즐의 유속, 고체층 높이, 고체분사노즐의 직경, 고운입자와 굵은입자의 입자크기 차이, 고체분리기 금속망 간극크기 및 혼합입자 중 고운입자의 무게분율이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며 유동화 속도의 영향은 크지 않았다.

We developed a water-selective ceramic composite membrane for use as a dehydration membrane reactor for dimethylether (DME) synthesis from methanol. The membranes were modified on the porous stainless steel support by the sol-gel method accompanied by a suction process. The improved membrane modification process was effective in increasing the vapour permselectivity by removal of defects and pinholes. The optimized alumina/silica composite membrane exhibited a water permeance of 1.14${\times}$10$^{-7}$ mol/$m^2$.sec.Pa and a water/methanol selectivity of 8.4 at permeation temperature of 25$0^{\circ}C$. The catalytic reaction for DME synthesis from methanol using the membrane was performed at 23$0^{\circ}C$, and the reaction conversion was compared with that of the conventional fixed-bed reactor. The reaction conversion of the membrane reactor was much higher than that of the conventional fixed-bed reactor. The reaction conversion of the membrane reactor and the conventional fixed-bed reactor was 82.5 and 68.0%, respectively. This improvement of reaction efficiency can last if the water vapour produced in the reaction zone is removed continuously.

본 연구는 nPr-BTP/nitrobenzene 추출 계에 의한 악티나이드(III)의 선택적 분리로, 우선 자연친화적 CHN 형 의 nPr-BTP (2.6-Bis-(5.6-n-propyl-1.2.4-triazin-3-yl)-pyridine)를 합성하고, 이의 희석제에 대한 용해성 및 질산에 대한 안정성 등을 평가하였다. 악티나이드(III)의 대표원소로는 Am을 선정하였으며, 0.1M nPr-BTP/nitrobenzene-1M $HNO_3$, O/A=2의 조건에서 Am은 약 85%, RE 원소는 Eu가 8%, 기타 Nd, Ce, Y 등은 3% 이하가 추출되어 (이때 Am/Eu의 상호분리 계수 약 60정도) 악티나이드(III)의 선택적 추출에는 별 문제가 없을 것으로 판단되었다. 그러나 Am의 역추출의 경우 0.05M 질산용액으로 O/A=1 에서 약43%가 역추출 되었으며, O/A=0.3에서도 65% 정도만이 역추출 되어 질산 이외의 다른 역추출제의 개발이 요구되고 있다.

Solvent extraction experiments of Pt(IV), Pd(II) and Rh(III) by Alamine336 were performed from the mixed chloride solutions. In the HCl concentration range from 1 to 5 M, most of Pt and Pd were extracted from the mixed solutions. However, the extraction percentage of Rh was much smaller than that of Pt and Pd. Lower concentration of Alamine336 in strong HCl solution led to higher separation factor of Rh from Pt and Pd. Adding $SnCl_2$ to the mixed solutions increased the extraction percentage of Rh, while the extraction percentage of Pt and Pd was little affected. Our results showed that selective separation of Rh or coextraction of the three platinum group metals from the mixed solution would be possible by adjusting the extraction conditions.

Methane steam reforming (MSR) was studied in a membrane reactor (MR) with a Pd-based and a porous alumina membranes. MRs showed methane conversion higher than that foresaw by the thermodynamic equilibrium for a traditional reactor (TR). Silica membranes prepared at KRICT were characterized with permeation tests on single gases ($N_2$, $H_2$ and $CH_4$). These silica membranes can be also used for high temperature applications such as $H_2$ separation $CO_2$ hydrogenation for methanol production is another reaction where $H_2O$ selective removal can be performed with these silica membranes.
