Radioactive organic wastes containing acetone, alcohol, and particularly tributyl phosphate (TBP)/dodecane contaminated with uranium are extracted from the PUREX process and the decontamination of related equipment. An evaporation method that utilizes existing DU oxidation apparatuses and ventilation systems and a typical muffle furnace installed with an aspirating system are adopted. A separation method using phosphoric acid especially for the TBP/dodecane waste is also studied and evaluated. The results show that a simple evaporation process is utilizable for wastes containing acetone or alcohol with a lower boiling point. A modified muffle furnace is more appropriate to dispose directly of organic wastes having a higher boiling point, such as TBP/dodecane, without generating a condensed waste solution. It is recommended that, when the uranium concentration of TBP/dodecane waste is much higher than stipulated levels, separation technology should be applied to remove uranium from the mixture. Each type of solvent after separation can then be considered disposable below the regulatory limit in the modified furnace discussed in this study.

Poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) membranes crosslinked with Glutaraldehyde (GA) were prepared for the separation of acetic acid-water mixtures. For the preparation of the crosslinked membranes, dry PVA films were immersed for 2 days at 40$\circ$C in reaction solutions which contain different content of GA solution(25% GA in water), aceton and a catalyst, HCl. IR spectroscopy was employed to characterize the crosslinking reaction between hydroxyl groups in PVA and aldehyde groups in GA. Swelling measurements of the crosslinked membranes were carried out in both water and acetic acid to investigate the crosslinking density and swelling behaviour of the membranes.

The present work provides a result from the preliminary experiment for hydrocyclone technology. In this work, local lake sediments and waste coal fly ash were used as test samples, prior to the application of hydrocyclone technology to the waste sludge thickening. A few cyclones based on the Rietema standard geometry were prepared. Chemical analysis of the sediments showed that more organic contaminants were in smaller particles. The experimental tests further showed that physical characteristics of particles, configuration of the cyclone and operation condition would affect the separation efficiency. The current results showed that small size cyclones might improve the separation and concentration of the lake sediments, and higher inlet velocity would increase the concentration rate of under flow and absolute concentration of sediment particles.

Using Small Angle Light Scattering (SALS), the effect of quench depth on the kinetics of phase separation for ternary solution blends was investigated. The system was composed of two polymers (polystyrene and polybutadiene) and a solvent (toluene). The analyses of the early stage of phase separation were based of the Cahn-Hilliard theory [1,5]. Apparent diffusion coefficients and the fastest mode of fluctuations were evaluated, when quench depth of the system were varied near the critical composition of polymer. In the late stage of phase separation, the domain growth showed a power law with the 1/3 exponent, i.e. $q_m(t)~t^{-1/3}$. For comparison between real images and scattering profiles with time, the image of phase domains with time were obtained by using Laser Confocal Scanning Microscopy (LSCM).

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.

In this paper, a Hangul recognition system using of Kohonen Network in the phoneme separation and learning is proposed. A Hangul consists of phoneme that are consists of strokes. The phoneme recognition and separation are very important in the recognition of character. So, the phonemes which mismatching has been happened are correctly separated through the learning of neural networks. also, learning rate($\alpha$) adjusted according to error, in order to solved that its decreased the number of iteration and the problem of local minimum, adaptively.

폐자동차 ASR으로부터 염소성분을 제거하기 위하여 풍력선별 및 비중선별 실험을 수행하였다. 또한, ASR플라스틱만을 분리하여 물을 매체로 한 비중선별을 실시하였다. ASR 시료는 모두 8 mm이하로 재분쇄하여 선별실험에 사용하였으며, 플라스틱은 3가지 입도로 나누어 비중선별 실험을 하였다. 풍력선별은 공기유량 9~20 M$^3$/hr 범위의 1단계와 공기유량 25~34 M$^3$/hr 범위의 2단계로 나누어 실시하고 각 산물의 비율과 재질분포를 조사하였다. 1단계 풍력선별후 underflow 산물의 비율은 62~66%인 것으로 나타났으며, 공기유량이 큰 2단계 풍력선별에서는 overflow 산물의 비율이 크게 증가하였다. 폐플라스틱만을 대상으로 한 비중선별 실험결과 부유물질이 침강물질에 비해 다소 많게 나타났으며, 염소함량에 있어서는 최대 수백개의 염소함량 차이를 보여 순수 플라스틱의 경우 매우 우수한 염소함유 재질의 분리효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

The electric charge on a membrane was investigated by analyzing the experimental rejection of various monovalent and divalent ionic solutes. The characteristics of the separation of ionic solutes using various nanofiltration membranes were obtained from an experimental nanofiltration set-up, with a surface area of $40cm^2$ under the operational pressures between 0.25-0.3 MPa. The state of the membrane electric charge was observed using separation coefficients, i.e., the permeation ratio of monovalent to divalent ions. To confirm the state of the membrane charge observed via the separation coefficient, a calculation using the extended Nernst-Planck equation, coupled with the Donnan equilibrium, assuming different electric charge states of the membrane, was compared with the experimental rejection of ionic solutes. The examination of the characteristics of separation using three types of nanofiltration membranes showed that one of the membranes carried a negative/positive double charge density inside, while other two membranes carried either a positive or negative charge density.

In recent years, stimuli-responsive materials have garnered interest due to their ability to change properties when exposed to external stimuli, making it useful for various applications including gas separation. Light is a very attractive trigger for responsive materials due to its speedy and non-invasive nature as well as the potential to reduce energy costs significantly. Even though light is deemed as an appealing stimulus for the development of stimuli-responsive materials, this avenue has yet to be extensively researched, as evidenced by the fewer works done on the photo-responsive membranes. Of these, there are even less research done on photo-responsive materials for the purpose of gas separation, thus, we have collected the examples that answer both these criteria in this review. This review covers the utilisation of photo-responsive materials specifically for gas separation purposes. Photo-chromic units, their integration into gas separation systems, mechanism and research that have been done on the topic so far are discussed.

A study on the new active type oil-water separation system including the oil-water separation system of magnetic film was carried out. Separation system is composed of several active types of circulating oil separation steps and one magnetic film separation step at final stage. At the magnetic separation step, ferrofluid easily forms a weak magnetic mixture with oil, which is from the water by magnetic field gradient. The vessel has been designed to run at the maximum speed of 25 knots. And two typical forms of SWATH and Catamaran have been studied as a new type of oil recovery vessel.
