The need for high-strength galvanized steel has recently increased because of the increased number of car consumers who want improved efficiency and exterior quality. High-strength galvanized steel with high corrosion resistance improves the durability of products and exterior quality. Furthermore, the gilt of zinc does not come off during machining because of the fine adhesive property of zinc. When these are welded, zinc has a lower melting temperature than iron, so zinc is more quickly vaporized than iron. Vaporized zinc can stick to electrodes, which increases spatter in welding transportation. Created spatter can enter the molten pool and develop into inner defects or blowholes and pits. Scattered spatter sticks to the product, which leads to the secondary cost of spatter removal. Therefore, in this study, comparisons of amounts of spatter generated are conducted according to the composition of shielding gas in the MIG and CMT processes to find optimal welding parameters.

This study analyzed surface-chemical transitions in manufacturing process of traditional acupuncture as proposed method by Dongeuibogam. The manufacturing process of traditional acupuncture from a used iron for a long time was divided by primary medicinal herbs treatment, secondary medicinal herbs treatment and tertiary treatment using by dog meat. The traditional acupuncture research process was measured according to the characteristics and changes of the specimens at each processing step of the manufacturing process. The following devices were used to Surface analysis. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffraction analyzer (XRD). As a result, medicinal herbs removed impurities on the surface and raised the antibacterial effect in the manufacturing process of traditional acupuncture. Furthermore, the ingredients of medicinal herbs were coated on the surface of the iron. Dog meat influenced to prevent surface corrosion, reduce friction when the acupuncture was inserted. Although the process empirically obtained, a glimpse of the wisdom of our ancestors was revealed. These ancestral wisdom can be expected to apply today, when used in manufacturing process of a modern stainless steel acupuncture to compensate for the defective part.

퍼클로레이트($ClO_4^-$)는 지표수 및 토양/지하수에서 검출되는 오염물이다. 독립영양방식의 퍼클로레이트-환원세균(PRB)은 기체 수소(H2)를 전자공여체로 사용하여 $ClO_4^-$를 제거한다. 철이 부식되면 $H_2$를 생성할 수 있음에 착안하여 본 연구에서는 하수처리장에서 쉽게 구할 수 있는 활성슬러지를 식종하여 영가철(ZVI)을 이용한 독립 영양방식의 $ClO_4^-$ 제거 가능성을 조사하였다. 회분반응실험을 통해 활성슬러지미생물이 ZVI가 존재할 때 $ClO_4^-$를 분해할 수 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 또한 이러한 $ClO_4^-$의 생분해는 $ClO_4^-$가 분해됨에 따라 생성되는 $Cl^-$의 몰 농도를 통해 확인 할 수 있었다. 독립영양방식의 $ClO_4^-$ 제거공정에 사용된 철 입자의 표면에 간균형태의 미생물들이 존재한다는 것을 주사전자현미경을 통해 관찰하였다. 그래서 철 입자가 생물막을 형성하기 위한 담체로서도 작용할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. ZVI가 첨가된 $ClO_4^-$ 분해성 농화배양으로부터 채취한 생물막의 미생물군집조성은 접종균으로 사용된 활성슬러지의 그것과는 다름이 DGGE 분석 결과 나타났다. DGGE band 중에서 생물막의 주요밴드는 Clostridia 강과 가장 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, a complete set of recirculating cooling water system and the required instruments were built in a semi-industrial-scale and a 50 g/h ozone generation plant and a chlorine system were designed for cooling water treatment. Both chlorination and ozonation treatment methods were studied and the results were analyzed during two 45-days periods. The concentrations of ozone and chlorine in recirculating water were constant at 0.1 mg/lit and 0.6 mg/lit, respectively. In ozone treatment, by increasing the concentration cycle to 33%, the total water consumption decreased by 26% while 11.5% higher energy efficiency achieved thanks to a better elimination of bio-films. In case of Carbon Steel, the corrosion rate reached to 0.012 mm/yr and 0.025 mm/yr for the ozonation and chlorination processes, respectively. Furthermore, consumptions of the anti-corrosion and anti-sedimentation materials in the ozone cooling water treatment were reduced about 60% without using any oxidant and non-oxidant biocides. No significant changes in sediment load were seen in ozonation compared to chlorination. The Chemical Oxygen Demand of the blow-down in ozonation method decreased to one-sixth of that in the chlorination method. Moreover, the soluble iron and water turbidity in the ozonation method were reduced by 97.5% and 70%, respectively. Although no anaerobic bacteria were seen in the cooling water at the proper concentration range of ozone and chlorine, the aerobic bacteria in chlorine and ozone treatment methods were 900 and 200 CFU/ml, respectively. The results showed that the payback time for the ozone treatment is about 2.6 years.

Since the operation period of nuclear power plants has increased, the degradation of buried pipes gradually increases and recently it seems to be one of the emerging issues. Maintenance on buried pipes needs high quality of management system because outer surface of buried pipe contacts the various soils but inner surface reacts with various electrolytes of fluid. In the USA, USNRC and EPRI have tried to manage the degradation of buried pipes. However, there is little knowledge about the inspection procedure, test and manage program in the domestic nuclear power plants. This paper focuses on the development and build-up of real-time monitoring and control system of buried pipes. Pipes to be tested are tape-coated carbon steel pipe for primary component cooling water system, asphalt-coated cast iron pipe for fire protection system, and pre-stressed concrete cylinder pipe for sea water cooling system. A control system for cathodic protection was installed on each test pipe which has been monitored and controlled. For the calculation of protection range and optimization, computer simulation was performed using COMSOL Multiphysics (Altsoft co.).

Effects of nanoparticles (NPs) on skin corrosion and irritation using three-dimensional human skin models were investigated based on the test guidelines of Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD TG431 and TG439). EpiDerm$^{TM}$ skin was incubated with NPs including those harboring iron (FeNPs), aluminum oxide (AlNPs), titanium oxide (TNPs), and silver (AgNPs) for a defined time according to the test guidelines. Cell viabilities of EpiDerm$^{TM}$ skins were measured by the 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2.5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide based method. FeNPs, AlNPs, TNPs, and AgNPs were non-corrosive because the viability was more than 50% after 3 min exposure and more than 15% after 60 min exposure, which are the non-corrosive criteria. All NPs were also non-irritants, based on viability exceeding 50% after 60 min exposure and 42 hr post-incubation. Release of interleukin 1-alpha and histopathological analysis supported the cell viability results. These findings suggest that FeNPs, AlNPs, TNPs, and AgNPs are 'non-corrosive' and 'non-irritant' to human skin by a globally harmonized classification system.

Batch compositions were based on Belgian Ladelite; mineral compositions were composed of 84 wt% of quartz and 16 wt% of clay, and particle sizes were divided into 12 wt% of 1410/297㎛, 18wt% 297/149㎛, 20wt% of 149/74㎛, 11wt% 74/44㎛ and 39wt% 44㎛ under. The effect of variable batch compositions were also investigated such as substitution of pyrophylite or industrial grade alumina for quartz and of zircon for portion of quartz and clay, increase of clay and addition on sericite. Samples were pressed at 100kg/㎠ with 7.4wt% of water or 7.4wt% of 4 wt% PVA solution. Dried and Fired properties of samples such as linear shrinkage, apparent porosity, modulus of rupture, refractoriness and corrosion resistance to blast furnace slag were investigated. The results are summarized as follows. 1. Dried samples are shrinked, but fired at 700-1400℃ expanded. Samples fired at 700-1000℃ and 1200-1400℃ tended to expand with incresing of firing temperature, but fired at 1000-1200℃ tended to shrink with increase of firing temperature. 2. Apparent porosity of samples fired at 700℃ is increased, but fired at 1200-1400℃ decreased with increasing of firing temperature. 3. Modulus of rupture of samples fired at 700℃ is decreased, but fired at above 700℃ increased with increasment of firing temperature. 4. Dried samples with 7.4 wt% of 4 wt% PVA solution better improve modulus of rupture than with 7.4 wt% of water, but the firing strength of the sampels fired at 700-1000℃ is showed reversely. 5. In quartz-clay system, mineral phases of samples fired at above 1200℃ are consisted of α-quartz, α-cristobalite and mullite. Respectively as firing temperature was rising up, intensity of α-cristobalite and mullite is in creased. 6. Quartz-Kibushi clay system, Kimcheun quartz(substitutuion of portion of industrial grade alumina for quartz) Hampyeung clay system and pyrophyllite-clay system are better in corrosion resistance to blast furnace slag than burned pyrophyllite brick. 7. 84 wt% of pyrophyllite-16wt% of clay system is superior in modulus of rupture and corrosion resistance to blast furnace slag to 84 wt% of quartz-16 wt% of clay system.

The absorbent loss due to degradation in $CO_2$ capture process using aqueous alkanol amine solution has adverse effect on the economics of overall process. The degradation causes absorbent loss, equipment corrosion, foaming, adhesive material producing and viscosity increase in operation. In this study, the degradation characteristics of $CO_2$ capture process using MEA (monoehtanolamine) under various conditions such as $O_2$ partial pressure, $CO_2$ loading and absorbent temperature. The effects of iron, which generated from the equipment corrosion, on absorbent degradation were studied using $Fe_2SO_4$ containing MEA solution. The produced gases were analyzed by FT-IR(Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer) and the specifically measured $NH_3$ concentration was used as a degradation degree of aqueous MEA solution. The experiments showed that the higher $CO_2$ loadings (${\alpha}$), $O_2$ fraction ($y_{O2}$) and reaction temperature enhanced the more degradation of aqueous MEA solution. Comparing other operation parameters, the reaction temperature most affected on the degradation. Therefore, it could be concluded that the above parameters affects on degradation should be considered for the selections of $CO_2$ absorbent and operating conditions.

In this study, the effect of drying temperature on characteristics of the trivalent chromate film on electroplated zinc was investigated. An zinc-electroplated iron specimen with a thickness of 5 ㎛ was used for chromate treatment. Chromate treatment was conducted in a solution diluted 10 times from a mixture of Cr(NO₃)₃·9H₂0 360 g/L, Co(NO₃)₂·6H₂O 60 g/L, Na₂SO₄ 60 g/L, NH₄F·HF 25 g/L, and NaOH 20 g/L. The zinc electroplated specimen was treated using the chromate solution with pH 2.0 at 25 ℃ for 60 s. Subsequently, chromate-treated samples were dried in an electric furnace for 2h with temperature varied from 25 to 125 ℃. The corrosion rate increased with the increase in the drying temperature, and the surface morphology of the chromate-treated film was observed using FE-SEM. When the drying temperature changed, the color of the chromate film changed from green to yellow, and the thickness of the film changed from 362 to 241 nm, respectively. Additionally, corrosion resistance was evaluated via a salt spray test.
