This study is aimed to study combustion characteristics of low $NO_X$ burner using petroleum cokes as fuel. The petroleum coke, which is produced through the oil refining process, is an attractive fuel in terms of its high heating value and relatively low price. But petroleum coke is a challenging fuel because of its low volatile content, high sulfur and nitrogen content, which give rise to undesirable emission characteristics and low ignitability. The petroleum cokes burner is operated at fuel rich condition, and overfire air are supplied to achieve fuel lean condition. The low $NO_X$ burner is designed to control fuel and air mixing to achieve air staged combustion, in addition secondary and tertiary air are supplied through swirler. Air distribution ratio of triple staged air are optimized experimentally. The result showed that $NO_X$ concentration is lowest when overfire air is used, and the burner function at a fuel rich condition.

Hydrogen and electricity are expected to dominate the world energy system in the long term. The world currently consumes about 50 million metric tons of hydrogen per year, with the bulk of it being consumed by the chemical and refining industries. The demand for hydrogen is expected to increase, especially if the U.S. and other countries shift their energy usage towards a hydrogen economy, with hydrogen consumed as an energy commodity by the transportation, residential and commercial sectors. However, there is strong motivation to not use fossil fuels in the future as a feedstock for hydrogen production, because the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide is a byproduct and fossil fuel prices are expected to increase significantly. An advanced reactor technology receiving considerable international interest for both electricity and hydrogen production, is the modular helium reactor (MHR), which is a passively safe concept that has evolved from earlier high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) designs. For hydrogen production, this concept is referred to as the H2-MHR. Two different hydrogen production technologies are being investigated for the H2-MHR; an advanced sulfur-iodine (SI) thermochemical water splitting process and high-temperature electrolysis (HTE). This paper describes pre-conceptual design descriptions and economic evaluations of full-scale, nth-of-a-kind SI-Based and HTE-Based H2-MHR plants. Hydrogen production costs for both types of plants are estimated to be approximately $2 per kilogram.

The solubility and species distribution of radionuclides in groundwater are essential data for the safety assessment of deep underground spent nuclear fuel (SNF) disposal systems. Americium is a major radionuclide responsible for the long-term radiotoxicity of SNF. In this study, the solubility of americium compounds was evaluated in synthetic groundwater (SynDB3), simulating groundwater from the DB3 site of the KAERI Underground Research Tunnel. Geochemical modeling was performed using the ThermoChimie_11a thermochemical database. Concentration of dissolved Am(III) in Syn-DB3 in the pH range of 6.4-10.5 was experimentally measured under over-saturation conditions by liquid scintillation counting over 70 d. The absorption spectra recorded for the same period suggest that Am(III) colloidal particles formed initially followed by rapid precipitation within 2 d. In the pH range of 7.5-10.5, the concentration of dissolved Am(III) converged to approximately 2×10^-7 M over 70 d, which is comparable to that of the amorphous AmCO₃OH(am) according to the modeling results. As the samples were aged for 70 d, a slow equilibrium process occurred between the solid and solution phases. There was no indication of transformation of the amorphous phase into the crystalline phase during the observation period.

The application of laser direct etching has been discussed, and believed that the process is a very powerful method for micro machining. This study is focused on the micro patterning technology using laser direct etching process with no chemical damage of the material surface. A new introduced concept of energy synergy effect for surface micro machining is the combination of chemically ion reaction and laser thermal process. The etchant can't etch the material in room temperature, and used Ar laser has not power enough to machine. But, the machining is occurred in local area of the material by the combined energy. Using this process, the material is especially prevented from chemical damage for electric property. We have tested this new concept, and achieved a line with $1{mu}m$ width. The Ar laser with 488nm wavelength was used. The material was Si(100) wafer, and etchant is KOH solution. The application and flexibility of this process is in great hopes for MEMS structures and fabrication of the micro electric device parts.

The magnetic Nd-Fe-B powders were prepared by a thermochemical method, consisting of the processes of spray-drying, debinding, milling, H$_2$-reduction, Ca-reduction, and washing. The optimum process conditions were studied by microstructural and thermal analysis. The resultant Nd-Fe-B powder was spherical with the size of 1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Effects of the process parameters of each step on the microstructure of the powders were investigated, and their magnetic properties were evaluated.

지구온난화에 따른 대체연료의 하나로 바이오에탄올의 생산이 증대되면서 곡물가격 상승과 같은 문제를 야기하고 있다. 차세대 바이오에탄올의 원료로서 목질계 바이오매스는 큰 잠재성에도 불구하고 높은 생산단가로 인하여 상업화 되지는 않고 있다. 생산단가의 절감을 위해 필요한 핵심기술은 가수분해율을 높이고 단당의 회수율을 높이는 것으로 전체 바이오에탄올 생산공정에서 열화학적 전처리이다. 본 연구에서는 목질계 바이오에탄올 제조공정에서의 열화학적 전처리에 대하여 소개하고 극복해야 할 문제들에 대하여 제시하고자 한다. 산, 알칼리, 열수, 용매, 암모니아, 산소 등을 첨가하는 전처리는 리그닌과 헤미셀룰로오스를 제거하고 셀룰로오스의 결정성을 감소시킨다. 이러한 전처리 방식들은 침엽수, 활엽수, 곡식의 줄기 등 목질계 원료에 따라 최적의 처리 조건들이 확립되어져야 한다.

The feasibility of ionic liquid as a novel absorbent of $SO_2$ for the separation of $SO_2$ from $SO_2/O_2$ mixture in the thermochemical IS(Iodine-Sulfur) cycle was investigated. 1,3-dimethylimidazolium methylsulfate ([DMIm]$MeSO_4$) had shown twenty five times higher solubility of $SO_2$ than that of $O_2$. The dependence of $SO_2$ solubility by [DMIm]$MeSO_4$ on temperature and $SO_2$ partial pressure was examined, which confirmed the possibility of temperature and pressure swing for the separation process. Through cyclic absorption and desorption with temperature swing the stability of [DMIm]$MeSO_4$ in the separation process was also demonstrated. As a result of the experiments carried out, $SO_2$ separation from $SO_2/O_2$ mixture with ionic liquid([DMIm]$MeSO_4$) can be applied to the thermochemical IS cycle.

석유를 대체할 수 있는 자원 중의 하나인 오일샌드 역청의 열화학적 전환을 통해 생산된 연료유 특성을 열천칭 분석기와 중질유들의 전환 공정에 사용되는 딜레이드 코킹 반응기(600ml)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 동일한 $50^{\circ}C/min$의 승온 속도로 최종 코킹 온도를 $400{\sim}550^{\circ}C$까지 변화시킨 결과, 최종 코킹 온도가 증가할수록 코킹이 완료되는 시간과 전환률이 증가하였다. 그러나 $450^{\circ}C$이상의 온도에서는 미비하게 증가하여 코킹 운전이 적어도 $450^{\circ}C$ 이상이 되어야 함을 알 수 있었다. 딜레이드 코킹 반응기의 최대 액체 수율은 $475^{\circ}C$의 조건으로 나타났으며 코킹에 의해 생성되는 오일의 API, SIMDAS분석을 통해 경질화가 진행되어 일반적인 디젤과 비슷한 연료 특성을 가짐을 확인하였다.

SiC/C functionally gradient material (FGMs) were formed on graphite substrates by hot-wall chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique using the SiCl$_4$-C$_3$H8-H$_2$ chemistry. Thermochemical equilibrium calculations were carried out to investigate the deposition process. The effect of process variables on the deposition yield and the SiC/C ratio in deposited layers was studied in detail. Calculated results showed a reasonable agreement with the experiment in a qualitative sense. SiC/C FGMs with excellent mechanical and thermal properties could be successfully formed on graphite substrates by carefully controlling the compositions in the deposited layers.
