전해환원공정에서 발생하는 금속전환체와 용융염을 각각 smelting하고 고화시키는 공정을 개발하였다. 진공조건에서 다단계 가열에 의하여 마그네시아 용기에 담긴 금속전환체를 잔류 용융염과 분리하고 용융시켜 금속 잉곳을 제조하는 운전방법을 제시하는 한편, 금속전환체의 분석을 수행하였다. 전해환원 공정에서 감압이송된 용융염의 경우에는 이송과 계량에 적합하게 이중 용기와 염밸브를 사용하여 일정 형상과 크기로 고화하는 신개념을 도출하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 한국원자력연구소 Advanced Spent Fuel Conditioning Process의 hot cell 실증시스템 설계에 적용되었다.

Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust and is the fourth most abundant structural metal after aluminum, iron, and magnesium. It exhibits a higher specific strength than steel along with an excellent corrosion resistance, highlighting the promising potential of titanium as a structural metal. However, titanium is difficult to extract from its ore and is classified as a rare metal, despite its abundance. Therefore, the production of titanium is exceedingly low compared to that of common metals. Titanium is conventionally produced as a sponge by the Kroll process. For powder metallurgy (PM), hydrogenation-dehydrogenation (HDH) of the titanium sponge or gas atomization of the titanium bulk is required. Therefore, numerous studies have been conducted on smelting, which replaces the Kroll process and produces powder that can be used directly for PM. In this review, the Kroll process and new smelting technologies of titanium for PM, such as metallothermic, electrolytic, and hydrogen reduction of TiCl₄ and TiO₂ are discussed.

To provide necessary information for future environmental monitoring of smelting and litharge making industries in Korea, environmental monitoring dataset of air lead concentration of 4 lead industries(1 primary smelting, 2 secondary smelting and 1 litharge making industry) were analyzed from 1994 to 2007. Data were compared using geometric mean and standard deviation with minimum and maximum values according to year of measurement, type of lead industries and type of operation of lead industries. The geometric mean and standard deviation of air concentration for a total of 1140 samples in all lead industries for overall 14 years were 70.7${\mu}g/m^3$ and 5.51 with minimum of 1${\mu}g/m^3$ and maximum of 9,185 ${\mu}g/m^3$. The overall geometric means of air concentration were above the permissible exposure levels(PEL) until year of 2001 and thereafter they were remained at the level of half of PEL. The geometric means of primary smelting, secondary smelting and litharge making industry for overall 14 years were 21.7${\mu}g/m^3$(number of samples: 353), 82.5${\mu}g/m^3$(number of samples: 357) and 164.2 ${\mu}g/m^3$(number of samples: 430) respectively. In primary smelting industry, the highest geometric mean air concentration was 35.4 ${\mu}g/m^3$ in the secondary smelting operation; followed by casting operation (24.9 ${\mu}g/m^3$) and melting operation (14.9 ${\mu}g/m^3$), respectively. On the other hand, in secondary smelting industries, the highest geometric mean air concentration was 125.4${\mu}g/m^3$ in melting operation; followed by casting operation (90.5${\mu}g/m^3$) and pre-treatment operation (43.4${\mu}g/m^3$), respectively. However, in litharge making industries, there were no significant differences of geometric mean air concentrations between litharge operation and stabilizer operation. The proportion of over PEL (50${\mu}g/m^3$) was highest in litharge industry and followed by secondary smelting industries. However The proportions of over PEL(${\mu}g./m^3.$) were decreased by the years of environmental monitoring. The significant reduction of mean air lead concentration since year of 2000 was observed due to more active environmental engineering control and new introduction of new operation in manufacturing process, but may be also influenced by non-engineering method such as reduction of operation hours or reduction of exposure time during actual environmental measurement by industrial hygienist according to more strict enforcement of occupational and safety law by the government.

실리콘은 지각에서 가장 풍부한 금속 원소이다. 금속급 실리콘(MG-Si)은 제강공정의 탈산제, 알루미늄 산업에서 합금 원소, 유기실레인 제조, 태양전지 등의 전자산업에 사용되는 전자급 실리콘 생산 등 산업적으로 널리 응용되는 중요한 금속이다. MG-Si는 전기 아크로에서 석탄, 코크스 또는 목재 칩의 형태인 탄소와 함께 이산화규소를 용융환원하여 만들어진다. MG-Si는 Siemens 공정과 같은 화학 처리를 통해 정제되며, 대부분의 단결정 실리콘은 쵸크랄스키 방식으로 만들고 있다. 이러한 제련 및 정제 방법은 2차 실리콘 자원으로부터 새로운 재활용 공정을 개발하는 데 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

타이타늄은 지각 구성원소 중 아홉 번째로 풍부한 원소이다. 또한 구조용 금속으로서는 알루미늄, 철, 마그네슘에 이어서 네 번째로 풍부한 원소이다. 일반적으로 이러한 타이타늄은 Kroll법에 의해 만들어지고 있다. 최근 전 세계의 많은 연구자들에 의해서 새로운 타이타늄 제련법이 개발되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 상업화 되었거나 개발 중인 신 제련 프로세스를 $TiCl_4$의 금속 열환원법, $TiO_2$ 등의 전해환원법, 그리고 수소를 이용한 환원법으로 분류하였다. 이러한 새로운 제련 프로세스의 환원기구와 현황에 대하여 종합하고 상업화 가능성의 관점에서 정리하였다.

Remanufacturing is an industrial manufacturing process. The merits of remanufacturing are to reuse old products to perform like a new product and to save energy, natural resources, landfill space and to reduce air pollution by less re-smelting. This paper proposes a systemic approach for activating the domestic remanufacturing industry. The approach is based on inside and outside regulations to apply remanufacturing companies. And, we analyzed the state and problems of remanufacturing industry for automobile parts.

Post industrial technologies have improved human standard of living, however, a host of negative environmental consequences from the unlimited industrial appetite have posed serious global challenges. Remanufacturing is an industrial manufacturing process that is to restore old products to perform like a new and to save energy, natural resources, landfill space and to reduce air pollution by less re-smelting. By extending product lift cycle, remanufacturing gives us enormous opportunities for sustainable development of our society. This paper introduces needs and current state of the art in the field of remanufacturing, also analyzes old products in terms of product variety and wear conditions with an example of automobile alternators. Then, a general and a product-specified remanufacturing process will be determined with them. Finally, this paper shows systemized guidelines for remanufacturing process of the specified parts. The results could be also used as a basic information for further remanufacturing applications.

경상지역 제철유적의 원료산지 추정을 위해 제철시료와 주요 철광상 철광석을 대상으로 암석기재학 및 지화학적 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 각 지역에서 발굴된 제철유적 시료는 제련공정 단계에 따라 원료철광석, 괴련철, 괴련철슬래그, 선철, 선철슬래그, 단조박편, 단야철, 철정 및 화살촉으로 분류되었고 각각 상이한 구성광물과 조직을 보였다. 또한 슬래그를 구성하는 규산염광물에서의 알루미늄 및 칼슘 등의 주원소 성분의 농집과 제철유물에서 니켈 및 구리 등의 미량원소 함량이 높은 것은 원료철광석의 특성이 반영된 것으로 잠재적인 제철원료의 산지추정인자로 여겨진다. 특히 제철유적 시료의 납-스트론튬 동위원소비는 크게 1) 원료철광석과 유사한 조성을 보이는 경우, 2) 스트론튬 동위원소비가 부화된 경우, 그리고 3) 납-스트론튬 동위원소비 모두 부화된 경우로 구별되며 이러한 동위원소비 특성은 고온의 제련공정 과정에서 첨가된 특정 조재제와의 혼염 가능성을 시사한다. 이러한 결과는 첨가물이 제련과정에 미치는 잠재적인 기여 측면에서 경상지역 제철유적의 산지추정 해석에 새로운 시각을 제시한다.

1. EAF Dust in Japan - Generation and Characteristics. The quantity of dust generated from EAF shops in Japan was estimated to be 520,000 tons/year in 1999. Extremely fine dust (or fume) is formed in the EAF by metal vaporization. Its characteristics such as chemical compositions, phases, particle size, leaching of heavy metal are mentioned. 2. EAF Dust Treatment Methods in Japan. In 1999, 61% of EAF dust was treated by regional zinc recovery processing routes, 25% went to landfill disposal, 4% was reused as cement material, and 10% was treated by on-site processing routes. The problems of EAF dust treatment methods in Japan are: (1) very high treatment cost, and (2) heavy environmental load (leaching of heavy metal, emission of dioxins, depletion of disposal sites, etc). It has been much hoped for that new dust management technology would be developed. 3. New technology of EAF dust treatment in Japan. In Japan, some new technologies of EAF dust treatment have been developed, and some others are in the developing stages. Following five processes are mentioned:. (1) Smelting reduction process by Kawasaki Steel, (2) DSM process by Daido Steel, (3) VHR process by Aichi Steel, (4) On-site dust direct recycling technology, and (5) Process technology of direct separation and recovery of iron and zinc metals contained in high temperature EAF off gas by the Japan Research and Development Center fur Metals.
