PDTF (Pressurized drop tube furnace) experiments using variations of temperature, oxygen/coal ratio, steam/coal and pressure with Roto coal (Sub A) were performed in order to investigate the effects of these experimental parameters on global gasification characteristics at elevated pressure. The results shows that the gasification at elevated pressure is more profitable than that at atmospheric pressure considering the carbon conversion and cold gas efficiency. The oxygen/coal ratio at which maximum cold gas efficiency was appeared ranged from 0.5 to 0.7 g/g. only when the temperature is sufficiently high enough, the raise of steam/coal ratio brings improvement of cold gas efficiency. As the pressure increased, the volume of carbon conversion by heterogeneous reaction increased but the volume of carbon conversion by pyrolysis decreased relatively.

The physical, mechanical, water purification and temperature properties of fiber reinforced porous hwang-toh green roof concrete have been evaluated in this study. The effect of the depending on replacement ratio of blast furnace slag to cement was investigated such that the replacement ratio is varied to 0 % and 30 %. Also, the replacement ratios of hwang-toh were 0, 20 and 30 %. The polyvinyl alcohol fiber was used for the reinforcing fiber. A series of pH test, unit weight, void ratio, compressive strength, after purification and variation of temperature test have been performed to evaluate the performance, water purification effect and temperature properties of the fiber reinforced porous hwang-toh green roof concrete. The test results indicate that the physical and mechanical properties of fiber reinforced porous hwang-toh green roof concrete is affected by the replacement ratio of the blast furnace slag and hwang-toh contents. Results of purifying water showed that the water purification effect of porous hwang-toh green roof concrete is about 40 %. Also, the temperature properties test results indicate the green roof blocks using fiber reinforced porous hwang-toh green roof concrete have insulation and temperature reduction effect.

Large steel industries have nonlinear loads including electric arc furnaces. These nonlinear loads generate harmonic currents and create distortions on the sinusoidal voltage of the power system. This paper provides an in depth analysis on harmonics field measurement of the electric arc furnace loads, adding a single-tuned filter at the customer bus for reducing harmonic distortion and harmonics assessment by the international harmonic standards IEC 61000-3-6 and IEEE Std. 519. The EDSA program was used as a simulation tool for the case study.

Concepts and experimental results for the unique utilization process which we could obtain the high purity calcium nitrate from blast furnace slag in the steel industry are described. Firstly we reacted the blast slag with nitric acid and separatively removed the insoluble silica by filtration. We adjust the pH of filtrate to 6∼8 with calcined lime, and then precipiated out the metal components like Fe, Al, Mg in the forms of hydroxides. Consequently concentration of the mother liquor and crystallization processes make us obtain the high purity (>98 wt%) calcium nitrate tetrahydrates, which is expected the valuable fertilizers.

This study reviewed the characteristics of concrete made of performance improving mixture materials based on KOH as a means to resolve the problems of initial quality reduction that result in concretes with blast furnace slag powder. Summarizing the results, first as the characteristics of fresh concrete, liquidity was found to reduce in general with increased BS substitution ratio. Objective range of liquidity was not satisfied in all mixes according to the use of performance improving mixture materials. Air capacity was satisfied to the objective range in all mixes. As the characteristics of hardened concrete, while compressive strength showed a decreasing trend with increasing BS substitution ratio at early age, increasing trend was shown by the plain with increasing BS substitution ratio at later age. On the other hand, K1 and K2 were only effective among mixture materials at early age, but K1F30 showed excellent strength at both early and later ages.

최근, 저항변화 메모리 (resistance random access memory, ReRAM)는 단순한 구조, 고집적성, 낮은 소비 전력, 우수한 retention 특성 CMOS 기술과의 공정호환성 등의 장점으로 인하여 현재 사용되는 메모리의 물리적 한계를 극복할 수 있는 차세대 메모리로써 주목을 받고 있다. 더욱이 용액공정은 높은 균일성, 공정 시간 및 비율 감소 그리고 대면적화가 가능한 장점을 가진 이유로 TiOx, ZrOx ZnO 같은 high-k 물질들을 이용한 연구가 보고되고 있다. 기존의 ReRAM 용액공정에서 결함, 즉 oxygen vacancies 그리고 불순물들을 제어하기 위해 일반적으로 사용되는 furnace 열처리는 낮은 열효율과 고비용등의 문제점을 가지고 있다. 특히 glass 또는 flexble 기판의 경우 열처리 온도에 제약이 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 열 균일성, 짧은 공정시간 의 장점을 가진 microwave 열처리 방법이 보고되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 용액공정을 이용하여 증착한 HfOx 기반의 저항변화 메모리를 제작하여 저온에서 microwave 열처리 와 furnace 열처리의 특성을 비교평가 하였다. 그 결과 microwave 열처리 방법이 furnace 열처리 방법보다 넓은 메모리 마진, 향상된 uniformity 를 가지는 것을 확인 하였다. 이로써 저온공정이 필요한 ReRAM 의 열처리 대안책 으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Polycrystalline silicon films are generally deposited by LPCVD, utilizing the thermal decomposition of $SiH_4$ gas. When silicon wafers are loaded into the furnace in order to reduce oxygen concentration of the films, we flow 20slm N, gas from top to bottom of the furnace, and then deposit films of $1000\AA$ thickness to measure oxygen concen­tration by SIMS. As a consequence of SIMS, we obtain oxygen concentration in films lower about 30 times than that of films deposited with 20slm $N_2$ gas-flow through the short injector in the hatch of furnace. In our long injector system, we estimate a reproducibility by uniformity, particle, and Rs of the deposited films.

Utilization of iron bearing dusts has been needed agglomeration prior to use as a burden in blast furnace The cold bonded pellet process using iron bearing dusts has been developed as an alternative to the conventional heat indurated pelletizing process. Partial substitution of cements with cheaper materials would decrease the production cost of pellet. This paper discusses the strength of pellet containing blast furnace slag as a bonding material in pelletizing a cold bonded agglomerates. Depending upon the quality, half of the cement required may be replaced by slag in the pellets with a strength of around 150 kgf. Some of the physicochemical properties of the bonding materials are also investigated in the present work.

China accounts for nearly half of the global steel production. As a waste material or a by-product in the manufacture process, a large amount of blast furnace slag is generated every year. The majority of recycled blast furnace slag is used as an additive in low-grade blended cement in China (equivalent to the UK CEM II or CEM III depending on the slag content). The cost of using ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) in such low-grade applications may not be entirely reimbursed based on market research. This paper reports an on-going project at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) which investigates the feasibility of using GGBS in long-span concrete structures by avoiding/reducing the use of crack control reinforcement. Based on a case study investigation, with up to 50% of CEM I cement replaced with GGBS, a beneficiary effect of reduced thermal contraction is achieved in long-span concrete slabs with no significant detrimental effect on early-age strengths. It is believed that this finding may be transferable from China to other Asian countries with similar climates and economic/environmental concerns.
