A newly isolated white rot fungal strain KU-RNW027 was identified as Trametes polyzona, based on an analysis of its morphological characteristics and phylogenetic data. Aeration and fungal morphology were important factors which drove strain KU-RNW027 to secrete two different ligninolytic enzymes as manganese peroxidase (MnP) and laccase. Highest activities of MnP and laccase were obtained in a continuous shaking culture at 8 and 47 times higher, respectively, than under static conditions. Strain KU-RNW027 existed as pellets and free form mycelial clumps in submerged cultivation with the pellet form producing more enzymes. Fungal biomass increased with increasing amounts of pellet inoculum while pellet diameter decreased. Strain KU-RNW027 formed terminal chlamydospore-like structures in cultures inoculated with 0.05 g/L as optimal pellet inoculum which resulted in highest enzyme production. Enzyme production efficiency of T. polyzona KU-RNW027 depended on fungal pellet morphology as size, porosity, and formation of chlamydospore-like structures.

본 연구는 IRG의 사료 가치 및 보관성 향상을 목적으로 소형 펠렛밀의 동력 구동방식 및 함수율이 IRG 펠렛의 성형 특성 및 품질에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위해 실시되었다. IRG의 펠렛 형성은 재료의 함수율에 큰 영향을 받았다(p<0.05). 펠렛밀의 종류별로 약간의 차이는 있지만, 함수율 25% 조건이 외관, 부하량 및 온도 변화를 고려했을 때 IRG 펠렛 성형에 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 펠렛의 경도는 펠렛밀의 종류에 관계없이 함수율이 높을수록 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 15~25% 조건의 함수율이 내구도에 미치는 영향은 적었지만, 함수율 25% 조건에 비해 30% 조건에서는 내구도가 급격히 떨어지는 결과를 보였다 (p<0.05). 펠렛밀의 종류와 함수율에 관계없이 IRG 펠렛 성형전에 비해 성형 후에 건물 함량이 높아졌으며(p<0.05), 펠렛 성형과정에서 발생되는 압축열과 재료의 급격한 수분 손실로 인해 총 세균수는 크게 감소되는 결과를 보였다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과에서 IRG 펠렛 형성에 바람직한 함수율은 25%로 나타났으며, 원형 펠렛밀 보다는 수평형 펠렛밀 특히, roller 구동의 수평형 펠렛밀이 IRG 펠렛 형성에 유리한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 IRG에 대한 펠렛 성형은 IRG의 사료 가치 및 장기 보관성 향상에 긍정적인 방법인 것으로 사료된다.

Miscanthus had a higher lignin content (19.5 wt%) and carbohydrate (67.6 wt%) than other herbaceous crops, resulting in higher pellet strength and positive effect on combustion. However, miscanthus also contains a high amount of hydrophobic waxes on its outer surface, cuticula, which limits the pellet quality. The glass transition of lignin and cuticula were related to forming inter-particle bonding, which determined mechanical properties of pellet. To determine the effects of surface waxes, both on the pelletizing process and the pellet strength were compared with raw and extracted samples through solvent extraction. In addition, to clarify the relationship between pellet process parameters and bonding mechanisms, the particle size and temperature are varied while maintaining the moisture content of the materials and the die pressure at constant values. Furthermore, kraft lignin was employed to determine the effect of kraft lignin as an additive in the pellets. As results, the removal of cuticula through ethanol extractions improved the mechanical properties of the pellet by the formation of strong inter-particle interactions. Interestingly, the presence of lignin in miscanthus improves its mechanical properties and decreases friction against the inner die at temperatures above the glass transition temperature ($T_g$) of lignin. Consequently, it could found that the use of kraft lignin as an additive in pellet reduced friction in the inner die upon reaching its glass transition temperature.

Effect of various kinds of additive such as AlOOH, Al(OH)3, Al2Si2O5(OH)4, Nb2O5, TiO2 and MgO on the properties and microstructures of UO2 pellet has been examined. All the tested dopants had played a role to reduce sintered density and open porosity. It was revealed that the addition of TiO2 made pellet more stable thermally. UO2 pellet doped with 0.2wt% TiO2 was swelled rather than densified after annealing for 24 hrs at 1$700^{\circ}C$. It was attributed to large pore with spherical shape. Titinia and silicon coexisted with Al element were more effective to increase grain size than other additives. It could be also revealed that the formation of liquid phase was the main cause of grain growth.

Various types of compounds were tested with the aspects of decomposition and formation of residue in a $CO_2$ or 7H$_2$+93$N_2$ atmosphere. The evaporation temperature range of each compound was determined from thermogravimetric curve. Decomposition of dicarbon amide, stearic acid, acrowax and zinc stearate was studied by thermogravimetry in $CO_2$ or in 7H$_2$+93$N_2$ atmosphere. All compounds were decomposed in $CO_2$ atmosphere at lower than 40$0^{\circ}C$, but the residue, ZnO remained for zinc stearate. ZnO did not decompose in $CO_2$ atmosphere up to 130$0^{\circ}C$, but reduced into Zn metal and disappeared in the temperature range of $600^{\circ}C$ to 120$0^{\circ}C$ in 7H$_2$+93$N_2$ atmosphere. The effect of residue, which trapped in closed pores of sintered pellet, on the thermal stability was studied using the resintering test at 1$700^{\circ}C$ in 7H$_2$+93$N_2$ atmosphere. In the case of oxidative sintered pellet with admixing zinc stearate, the cavity formation accompanied with a density drop after resintering is due to the pressure of the Zn gases trapped in the isolated pores.

종자 수확 후 버려지는 산업용 대마를 이용한 목질 펠릿제조 가능성과 제조된 펠릿의 특성을 살펴보았다. 산업용 대마의 성분 분석 결과 활엽수와 비슷한 리그닌 함량과 당구성을 보였으며, 회분 분석 결과 무기물 함량이 0.5% 정도이어서 연료로 사용할 경우 재의 생산량은 크지 않을 것이다. 원소 분석 결과 대기 오염을 유발할 수 있는 질소와 황 함량을 분석한 결과, 황 성분은 전혀 포함하지 않고 있으며, 약간의 질소 성분을 포함하고 있는데 이는 현사시나무와 비슷한 수준이었다. 고위발열량 측정 결과 대마 목부는 현사시나무보다 다소 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 바이오매스 생산량이 큰 대마 목부를 이용하여 제조한 펠릿은 활엽수로 제조한 펠릿과 비슷한 화학적 성질과 발열 특성을 가질 것으로 기대되어 고체연료로서의 이용이 가능할 것으로 사료되었다.

점화기의 성능에 미치는 노화의 영향을 알아보기 위하여 12년, 15년, 16년 경과된 활성 모타로부터 점화기를 분해하여 점화제의 특성 값을 측정하고 점화기의 연소 시험을 하였다. 점화제인 B/$KNO_3$ 펠렛의 수분 함량, 외형 치수, 분쇄 강도, 열 분해 특성, 발열량 등을 측정한 결과, 노화 기간에 비례하여 분쇄 강도는 다소 증가하였고 발열량은 감소하였으나 그 외의 특성 값들은 변화가 없었다. 밀폐 용기 시험과 비활성 모타 연소 시험 결과, 노화된 점화제의 연소 속도는 약 10% 증가하였고, P-t 곡선의 압력을 적분한 값 $P_t$는 약 15% 감소하였다. 연소 속도는 점화제에 균열이 발생할 경우 증가하고 $P_t$는 폭발 열량에 비례하여 감소함을 추론할 수 있었다.

$UO_2$분말에 PVA-Al(III) 착물과 AlOOH를 각각 0.03~1.0wt%를 첨가하여 소결체를 제조한 후 소결체 특성을 비교하였다. PVA-Al(III) 착물과 AlOOH는 $1000^{\circ}C$의 소소분위기에서 열분해하는 경우 생성상은 $\theta-Al_2O_3$이었다. 순수 $UO_2$분말에 비해 AlOOH가 첨가된 혼합 분말의 곁보기 밀도는 더 높았고, PVA-Al(III) 착물이 첨가된 혼합 분말은 더 낮은 겉보기 밀도를 보였다. AlOOH가 첨가된 소결체의 경우 약 $800^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 치밀화가 시작되었지만, PVA-Al(III) 착물이 첨가된 소결체의 경우에는 약 $900^{\circ}C$에서 치밀화가 시작되었다. 기공 크기 분포는 AlOOH가 첨가된 $UO_2$소결체의 경우에 monomodal 형태로, 그리고 PVA-Al(III) 착물의 첨가된 소결체의 경우에는 bimodal 형태로 나타났다. 결정립 크기는 1wt% 첨가시 AlOOH가 첨가된 $UO_2$소결체의 경우에 약 $13\mu\textrm{m}$이었지만, PVA-Al(III) 착물의 첨가된 소결체의 경우에는 약 $\36mu\textrm{m}$까지 성장하는 현저한 효과를 확인하였다.

In order to improve the sowing practice, pelleted seeds of tobacco NC 82(Nicotiana tobacco L.) were manufactured in use of binders at the different levels of viscosity, and their physical properties according to pellet size and biological activity in seed germination were investigated while storage time elapsed. Proper range of the binder viscosity for the pellet formation was 20.3-37.2 m.pas. At the high level of viscosity(45.7 m.pas) took longer time to form the pellet and pelleting was not easy. The high binder viscosity and large pellet size revealed higher level in hardness of the pelleted tobacco seeds, which caused the longer splitting time of pellets in water. High level of binder viscosity(37.2 m.pas) in pelleted seeds led to decrease the biological activity of tobacco seed germination by the storage at 4 t over 30 days. But at the level of 20.3m.pas in binder viscosity, the germination of pelleted seeds was little affected by the long storage time to 120 days.

A thermal conductivity correlation has been proposed which can be applied to high turnup fuel by considering both of thermal conductivity with turnup across fuel pellet and additional degradation at pellet rim due to very high porosity. In addition, a correlation has been developed that can estimate the porosity of rim region as a function of rim burnup under the assumptions that all the produced fission gases are retained in the in porosity and threshold pellet average burnup required for the formation of rim region is 40 MWD/㎏U. Rim width is correlated to rim burnup using measured data. For the RISO experimental data obtained at pellet average turnup of 43.5 MWD/㎏U for three linear heat generation rates of 30, 35 and 40 ㎾/m, radial temperature distributions ore calculated using the present correlation and compared with the measured ones. This comparison shows that the present correlation gives the best agreement with the measured data when it is combined with the HALDEN's correlation for thermal conductivity considering its degradation with burnup. Another comparison with the HALDEN's measured fuel centerline temperature as a function of burnup at 25 ㎾/m up to about 44 MWD/㎾U also suggest that the present correlation yields the best agreement when it is combined with the HALDEN's thermal conductivity.
