Each year, about four million tons of steel slag, a by-product produced during the manufacture of steel by refining pig iron in the converter furnace, is generated. It is difficult to recycle this steel slag as aggregate for concrete because the reaction with water and free-CaO in steel slag results in a volume expansion that leads to cracking. However, the steel slag used in this study is atomized using an air-jet method, which rapidly changes the melting substance at high temperature into a solid at a room temperature and prevents free-CaO from being generated in steel slag. This rapidly-cooled steel slag has a spherical shape and is even heavier than natural aggregate, making it suitable for the aggregate of radiation shielding concrete. This study deals with the radiation shielding property of concrete that uses the rapidly-cooled steel slag from the oxidizing process in the converter furnace as fine aggregate. It was shown that the radiation shielding performance of concrete mixed with rapidly-cooled steel slag is even more superior than that of ordinary concrete.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the compressive strength property of concrete with Ground granulated blast furnace slag(GBFS) using wash water from recycled aggregate. When GBFS is reacted with water, it doesn't happen to hydraulic reaction but GBFS becomes latent hydraulic property in alkaline environment. For this reason, if it is possible to use wash water from recycled coarse aggregate as mixture water, GBFS have the advantage of early strength due to effect of activation. We investigated the compressive strength properties of GBFS concrete using wash water from recycled aggregate. According to the experimentation result, ICP-OES showed wash water from recycled coarse aggregate has a high alkali value of pH of 12. Also, compressive strength in early age using wash water can be improved as an activation.

The research is to suggest the compensating strength values depending on various managing periods of concrete based on the strength development model calculated with equivalent age method for 20% of blast furnace slag replaced concrete. As a result, for 28 days of managing period, 9, 6, and 3MPa of compensating strength values were suggested when the temperatures were from 4 to 6℃, from 6 to 12℃, from 12 to 17℃, respectively. Additionally, for 42 days of managing period, 6 and 3MPa of compensating strength value was suggested when the temperature was from 4 to 7℃, from 7 to 12℃, and for 56 days of managing period, 3MPa of compensating strength value was suggested when the temperature was from 4 to 9℃. Furthermore, for 28, 42, 56, and 91 days of managing periods, any compensating strength values were needed when the temperature were higher than 17, 12, 9, and 4℃, respectively.

Reburning is a useful technology in reducing nitric oxide through injection of a secondary hydrocarbon fuel. In this paper, an experimental study has been conducted to evaluate the effect of fuel lean reburning on $NO_X/CO$ reduction in LPG flame. Experiments were performed in flames stabilized by a co-flow swirl burner, which was mounted at the bottom of the furnace. Tests were conducted using LPG gas as the reburn fuel as well as the main fuel. The effects of reburn fuel fraction and injection location of the reburn fuel were studied when the fuel lean reburning system was applied. The paper reports data on flue gas emissions and temperature distribution in the furnace for a wide range of experimental conditions. At steady state, temperature distribution and emission formation in the furnace have been measured and compared. This paper makes clear that in order to decrease both NOx and CO concentrations in the exhaust when the fuel lean reburning system was adapted, it is important that the control of some factors such as initial equivalence ratio, reburn fuel fraction and temperature of reburn fuel injection region. Also it shows the fuel lean reburning is also effective method to reduce NOx as much as reburning.

The objective of this development project is to localize an automatic molten metal supplier that has been distributed by WESTOMAT, Germany, throughout the world. To achieve this purpose, an energy-saving pressurized dosing furnace and molten metal differential pressure control system that Is able to automatically supply a determined quantity of aluminum molten metal were developed. The localized equipment was installed in a site. Also, the results of the test operation of this equipment can be summarized as follows: It was able to improve the productivity because there were small decreases in supplying speeds and small losses in wastes compared to the existing mechanical molten metal supplier. Also, it was able to minimize the cost in maintenances due to the direct application of high temperature molten metals to molds. In addition, there were small energy losses due to the use of high thermal insulators compared to the existing reverberating furnace and able to prolong the life-time of furnaces and produce good quality nonferrous metals because it represented small carbon refractories and alumina in applied molten metals. Furthermore, it demonstrated no particular differences by objectively comparing it with the product by WESTOMAT.

MPB 조성영역인 Zr/Ti=52/48의 composite ceramic target을 사용하여 RF magnetron sputtering 방법으로 기판온도 약 30$0^{\circ}C$에서 RZT 박막을 Pt/Ti/Si 기판위에 증착시켰다. 안정상인 perovskite 구조를 형성시키기 위하여 PbO분위기에서 furnace annealing 과 Repid thermal annealing을 실시하여 열처리 방법에 따른 상형성 및 계면반응과 그에 따른 전기적 특성을 고찰 하였다. Pt 의 두께가 250$\AA$인 경우 furnace annealing 시 $650^{\circ}C$에서 perouskite 상이 형성되었으나 Pt층이 산소의 확산을 방지하지 못하여 상부의 Ti 층이 TiOx로 변태하였으며 하부의 Ti는 Si 과 반응하여 Ti-silicide 롤 변태하였다. 또한 75$0^{\circ}C$,60sec 인 경우 Pt 층의 응집화가 관찰되어 하부전극으로서 적용이 적절하지 못하다. 급속열처리를 실시한 경우에도 마찬가지로 Ti 층이 TiOx 와 silicide 층으로 변태되었다. Pt의 두께가 1000$\AA$인 경우에도 250$\AA$와는 달리 RTA 시 (III)방향으로 Furace annealing 시(001)방향으로 우선 성장하였다. 이는 Ti(001), P(111),PZT(111)면의 lattic mismatch 가 매우 작은데다 RTA 시 계면반응이 거의발생하지 않아 PZT 박막이 (111) 방향으로 우선 성장한 것으로 보인다. Furnace annealing 경우는 심한 계면반응이 발생하여 Pt층에 어느 정도 영향을 주었기 때문에 우선성장 방향이 바뀌었다구 생각한다.

This study treated self-compacting high Performance concrete as two Phase materials of Paste and aggregates and examined the effect of powder and aggregates on self-compacting high performance, since fluidity and segregation resistance of fresh concrete are changed mainly by paste. To improve the fluidity and self-compactibility of concrete, optimum powder ratio of self-compacting high performance concrete using fly ash and blast-furnace slag as powders were calculated. This study was also designed to provide basic materials for suitable design of mix proportion by evaluating fluidity and compactibility by various volume ratios of fine aggregates, paste, and aggregates. As a result, the more fly ash was replaced, the more confined water ratio was reduced because of higher fluidity. The smallest confined water ratio was determined when 15% blast-furnace slag was replaced. The lowest confined water ratio was acquired when 20% fly ash and 15% blast-furnace slag were replaced together. The optimum fine aggregates ratio with the best compactibility was the fine aggregate ratio with the lowest percentage of void in mixing coarse aggregate and fine aggregate In mixing the high performance concrete. Self-compacting high performance concrete with desirable compactibility required more than minimum of unit volume weight. If the unit volume weight used was less than the minimum, concrete had seriously reduced compactibility.

There are many factors that affect on the flowing properties of high flowing concrete(HFC), which are fluidity, compactibility, non-segregation ability and fillingability. And because the aggregate which is one of the factors occupies high volume in concrete, it has a much effect on the properties of high flowing concrete according to its size, quality and quantity etc. This is an experimental study to analyze the effect of admixture and volume of coarse aggregate in concrete on the flowing properties of high flowing concrete. For this purpose, the kinds of admixture are fly-ash and blast furnace slag. Also volume of coarse aggregate in concrete are 280, 290, 300, 310, 320 $(\ell/m^3)$. The test of flowablity properties is slump-flow, Air content, V-lot, L-Flow. According to test results, it was found that the compactibility of HFC is more superior to use blast furnace slag than other, and according .to kind of admixture, most compatible volume of coarse are different. Also when used blast furnace slag, the volume of coarse are increased than used fly-ash.
