A sodium-concrete reaction facility with a test chamber of 0.226㎥($\Phi$0.6m$\times$H0.8m) was constructed to carry out experiments of sodium-concrete reaction which might take place in sodium metal fast-breeder reactor Utilizing this facility, several experiments were conducted to closely examine the characteristics of sodium-concrete reactions under different conditions : Sodium mass : 100, 250g ; Sodium temperature : 450, 550, $650^{\circ}C$ ; Concrete age = 30, 45, 50, 90days. Our experiments show that the amount of the H2 generated by sodium-concrete reaction has increased up to its flammable range as the amount of spilled sodium and its temperature have increased. The maximum hydrogen concentration was 31mo1% at the concrete age of 30days, sodium temperature : 55$0^{\circ}C$, and sodium mass : 250g. The major components of sodium-concrete reaction products were also determined as Na$_2$SiO$_3$ and NaAlO$_2$.

As an effective methods of plasma heating, neutral beam injection (NBI) systems based on negative hydrogen ion sources will be utilized in future magnetic-confinement nuclear fusion experiments. Because of the collisions between the fast negative ions and the neutral background gas, the positive ions are inevitable created in the acceleration region in the negative NBI system. These positive ions are accelerated back into the ion source and become high energy backstreaming ions. In order to explore the characters of backstreaming ions, the track and power deposition of backstreaming H⁺ beam is estimated using the experimental and simulation methods at NNBI test facility. Results show that the flux of backstreaming positive ions is 1.93 % of that of negative ion extraction from ion source, and the magnet filed in the beam source has an effect on the backstreaming positive ions propagation.

Pyrolysis/gasification technology utilizes an energy conversion technique from various waste resources, such as biomass, solid waste, sewage sludge, and etc. to generating a syngas (synthesis gas). However, one of the major problems for the pyrolysis gasification is the presence of tar in the product gas. The tar produced might cause damages and operating problems on the facility. In this study, a gliding arc plasma reformer was developed to solve the previously acknowledged issues. An experiment was conducted using surrogate benzene and naphthalene, which are generated during the pyrolysis and/or gasification, as the representative tar substance. To identify the characteristics of the influential parameters of tar decomposition, tests were performed on the steam feed amount (steam/carbon ratio), input discharge power (specific energy input, SEI), total feed gas amount and the input tar concentration. In benzene, the optimal operating conditions of the gliding arc plasma 2 in steam to carbon (S/C) ratio, 0.98 $kWh/m^3$ in SEI, 14 L/min in total gas feed rate and 3.6% in benzene concentration. In naphthalene, 2.5 in S/C ratio, 1 $kWh/m^3$ in SEI, 18.4 L/min in total gas feed rate and 1% in naphthalene concentration. The benzene decomposition efficiency was 95%, and the energy efficiency was 120 g/kWh. The naphthalene decomposition efficiency was 79%, and the energy yield was 68 g/kWh.

Bran of barley causes high viscosity in bioethanol production due to the large amount of ${\beta}$-glucans and fiber. High viscosity is the main cause of decreased productivity and decreased facility efficiency in ethanol production. In order to prevent high viscosity, this study investigated the possibility of bioethanol from barley by debranning. As a result, it was able to reduced the viscosity (22.8 cP to 17.5 cP). And the fermentation speed and yield were improved as the activity of the enzyme and activity of yeast was also increased was improved due to the removal of non-fermentable components. In conclusion, debranning was advantageous in two ways. Firstly, bran removal increased the starch content of the feedstock and decreased viscosity of mash, improving ethanol fermentation. Secondly, by-products produced by debranning can use valuable products. It was remarkable results to the feasibility of bioethanol production from debranned barley.

GTA 용접에서 용입, 용접부의 크기와 형상이 형성되는 아크 물리학적 현상을 이해함에 있어서 에너지 분포특성은 매우 중요한 인자이다. GTA 용접에서 아크 길이의 변화와 사용된 실드 가스 종류에 따라 음극인 텅스텐 전극 팁의 아크 루트 직경에 큰 변화를 주며, 양극인 모재 쪽의 에너지 분포에 영향을 미치며 된다. 기존의 연구자들은 저전류나 중전류 영역의 GTA 용접에서 텅스텐 전극의 선단각과 용입 형태와 의 관계를 plasma 기류 등에 의해 고찰하거나, 최대 아크압력에 미치는 전극형상의 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 용접부에 작용하는 아크 압력의 분포는 결국 운동 에너지의 분포이다. 기존의 연구자들에 비하여 보다 간편한 실험을 통하여 양극 모재위의 아크 압력에 의한 에너지 분포특성을 규명하는 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 GTA 용접의 용접전류 100A~200A 영역에서 아크 길이 변화와 Ar 가스에 $H_2$ 혼합에 따른 측정된 아크 압력으로부터 기존연구자들의 아크 물리학적 결과들을 활용하여 양극 모재 위에 작용하는 전류밀도 분포를 유도하는 것이다. GTA 용접에서 아크 길이의 변화와 Ar 가스에 $H_2$ 혼합은 아크 압력분포에 큰 영향을 미치며, 이에 따라 에너지 분포특성에 많은 영향을 미친다. 아크 길이가 증가함에 따라 Ar가스와 $H_2$ 혼합가스의 에너지 분포는 감소하였고, Ar가스에 $H_2$ 혼합에 의해 아크 에너지가 증가하여 용입형상에 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다. 이에 대한 연구는 향후 GTA 용접 응용분야 확대 적용될 것이며, 아크 물리학 연구에 기초적이고 아주 중요한 과학적인 자료가 될 것으로 판단된다.

This field study was performed to evaluate the efficiency of a plasma ion-operated air cleaner in temporal reduction of airborne pollutants emitted from a pig housing facility. In the case of gaseous pollutants, the plasma ion air cleaner was not effective in reducing levels of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen dioxide, or sulfur dioxide (p>0.05). In the case of particulate pollutants, however, the air cleaner was effective in reducing levels of particulate matter ($PM_{2.5}$ and $PM_1$) by 79(${\pm}6.1$) and 78(${\pm}3.0$)%, respectively. Unlike the case of these fine particle fractions, the reduction of total suspended particles (TSP) and $PM_{10}$ following treatment was almost negligible. In the case of biological pollutants, the mean reduction efficiencies for airborne bacteria and fungi were relatively low at 22(${\pm}6.6$) and 25(${\pm}8.7$)%, respectively. Taken together, these results indicate that in terms of air pollutants released from this pig housing facility, the plasma ion air cleaner was primarily effective in reducing levels of $PM_{2.5}$ and $PM_1$.

Hydrogen is an alternative fuel for the future energy which can reduce pollutants and greenhouse gases. Synthesis gas has played an important role of synthesizing the valuable chemical compounds, for example methanol, DME and GTL chemicals. Renewable biomass feedstocks can be potentially used for fuel and chemicals. Current thermal processing techniques such as fast pyrolysis, slow pyrolysis, and gasification tend to generate products with a large slate of compounds. Lignocellulose feedstocks such as forest residues are promising for the production of bio-oil and synthesis gas. Pyrolysis and gasification was investigated using thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and bubbling fluidized bed gasification reactor to utilize forest woody biomass. Most of the materials decomposed between $320^{\circ}C$ and $380^{\circ}C$ at heating rates of $5{\sim}20^{\circ}C$/min in thermogravimetric analysis. Bubbling fluidized bed reactor was used to study gasification characteristics, and the effects of reaction temperature, residence time and feedstocks on gas yields and selectivities were investigated. With increasing temperature from $750^{\circ}C$ to $850^{\circ}C$, the yield of char decreased, whereas the yield of gas increased. The gaseous products consisted of mostly CO, $CO_2$, $H_2$ and a small fraction of $C_1-C_4$ hydrocarbons.

한우를 전문으로 사육하는 전업농가의 퇴비사에서 암모니아와 황화수소 그리고 미세먼지 발생량을 측정하였다. 시험은 단순퇴적식 퇴비화시설(T1)과 기계교반식 퇴비화시설(T2, T3)로 구분하여 수행하였다. 단순퇴적식 퇴비단(T1)의 경우 최고온도가 46℃를 기록하였고, 2곳의 기계교반식 퇴비화시설들(T2, T3)에서는 각각 63℃와 68℃까지 상승하였다. T1에서의 PM2.5 농도는 15 ㎍/㎥ 수준이었고 T2에서는 PM2.5 농도가 5~10 ㎍/㎥ 내외의 수준을 유지하였다. T3에서는 PM2.5의 농도가 10 ㎍/㎥ 이하의 수준이었다. T1에서 발생하는 암모니아의 최고농도는 4 ppm이었으나 황화수소는 검출되지 않았다. T2에서는 암모니아 농도가 최고 3 ppm 수준이었으나 황화수소는 검출되지 않았다. T3의 암모니아 최고농도는 4 ppm을 나타낸 반면에 황화수소는 검출되지 않았다. T3에서는 교반기가 퇴비를 교반하는 지점에서의 암모니아 농도가 65 ppm까지 상승하였다. 퇴비화 기간이 경과함에 따라 초기에 9.06이었던 퇴비단의 pH가 퇴비화기간을 거치면서 8.94로 낮아졌다가 다시 9.14 수준으로 상승하였다. 염분(NaCl)농도는 퇴비화가 진행된 이후에 0.09% 수준이었다. 수분함량은 65.9% 수준에서 62% 수준으로 낮아졌으며, 총고형물 중에서 휘발성고형물(Volatile Solids)이 차지하는 비율은 퇴비화 초기에 65.6%에서 퇴비화후기에는 64.7% 낮아졌다. 퇴비화 초기에 1.327% 수준이었던 TKN 함량도 퇴비화를 거치면서 1.095%로 낮아졌다.
