Densities of molten salt mixtures of eutectic LiCl-KCl with $UCl_3$, $CeCl_3$, or $LaCl_3$ at various concentrations (up to 13 wt%) were measured using a liquid surface displacement probe. Linear relationships between the mixture density and the concentration of the added salt were observed. For $LaCl_3$ and $CeCl_3$, the measured densities were significantly higher than those previously reported from Archimedes' method. In the case of $LiCl-KCl-UCl_3$, the data fit the ideal mixture density model very well. For the other salts, the measured densities exceeded the ideal model prediction by about 2%.

The ability of chemicals, 10% sodium hypochlorite, 28% ammonium hydroxide, 5% sodium hydroxide, 5% sodium bicarbonate, 0.1% hydrochloric acid, 5% hydrogen peroxide, and 5% acetone, to destroy aflatoxins in laboratory waste water containing 3.26 ppb of B$_{1}$ 7.64 ppb of B$_{6}$3 ppb of G$_{1}$, and 11.39 ppb of G$_{2}$ with the total of 29.11 ppb was investigated. High performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) was used for the separation and quantitation of aflatoxins. Treatment for 2 hours by the chemicals affected the destruction of aflatoxins and the most effective chemical was 10% sodium hypochlorite (p<0.05). Sodium hypochlorite concentrations more than 1% significantly reduced aflatoxin B$_{2}$, G$_{1}$, G$_{2}$ and total aflatoxins and more than 3% reduced B$_{1}$ (p<0.05). No further significant decreases were observed above the concentration of 5% for all 4 aflatoxins. Complete destruction of aflatoxins B$_{2}$, G_{1}$, and G$_{2}$ was achieved by 5% sodium hypochlorite at 48 hours and B$_{1}$ at 72 hours.

We developed a poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) indicator plate and isolated a marine bacterial colony capable of biodegrading PBS based on the appearance of a clear zone. Growth of the PBS-2 isolate was observed over 4 days of culture at $37^{\circ}C$ in PBS-tryptone basal liquid medium, but not in PBS-deprived control medium. The PBS-2 isolate was named Paenibacillus sp. PBS-2 based on 16S rDNA gene sequencing. The PBS-biodegrading marine bacterium isolated in this study will contribute to the effective management of PBS waste problems in marine environments.

The use of ion-exchange resins for the treatment of radioactive wastes has many advantages, but thes eare rather expensive as compared with the Korean vermiculite. The Korean vermiculite has slightly different chemical constituents from the ones produced in other countries, and its physical properties might be applicable to the management of radioactive waste, in a small nuclear installation. The decontaminating effect of Korean vermiculite for the low-level radioactive liquid was investigated. $^{106}Ru,\;^{90}Sr,\;and\;^{137}Cs$ were utilized for the experiments. The removal rates by Korean vermiculite were calculated for $^{106}Ru,\;^{90}Sr\;and\;^{137}Cs$ and the removal rates increased as the weight of vermiculite in the exchange column increased. The decontaminating constants, $K_d$ of the Korean vermiculite for $^{106}Ru,\;^{90}Sr\;and\;^{137}Cs$ were 2.7, 69.3 and 263ml/g respectively. Through the results of experiments, the application of Korean vermiculite column to the treatment of low-level radioactive waste is quite feasible.

고리 2호기 선택성 이온교환시스템(SIES)은 운영 과정에서 본 설비에 유입되는 방사성 폐액에 함유된 부유물질과 기름 성분들에 의해 선택성 이온교환설비의 활성탄과 이온교환수지가 쉽게 오염되어 이온 형태의 방사성 핵종과 부식성 입자성 방사성 핵종인 Ag-110m의 제거가 불가능한 문제점이 대두되었다. 본 연구에서는 SIES로 유입되는 수질을 개선하기 위한 실험을 수행하여 설계 기초 자료를 확보하였고, SIES 전처리 설비의 정밀여과분리막과 나노분리막에 대한 각각의 모듈 설계를 수행하였다.

핵확산 저항성 핵연료주기공정, 트리튬을 활용하는 첨단산업 시설과 중수로형 원전 등의 국내 원자력 산업에서 다양한 화합물 형태로 발생하는 트리튬 폐기물을 처리하는 기술을 개발하기 위하여 국내외 트리튬 처리기술의 현황을 조사하였음. 트리튬 폐기물을 크게 기체상, 유기상, 수용액상으로 분류하였고, 이들을 각각 처리할 수 있는 기술을 분석하였음. 이러한 트리튬 폐기물의 처리기술 개발은 원자력 산업의 지속적인 발전을 위한 기술력 기반조성 및 국민의 방사성 폐기물에 대한 긍정적 이미지를 심어 주는데 필수적임.

This paper presents an application of Dividing Wall Column(DWC) to the recovery of the waste solvent from the film making processes. The waste solvent feed contains MEK(Methyl-Ethyl-Ketone), Toluene, Cyclohexanone, and water. The commercial software $HYSYS^{TM}$ was used for rigorous simulation and analysis. Sensitivity analysis for several major design variables were carried out to achieve the optimal design of the process. Distribution of the internal vapor and liquid flows to the prefractionator and main sections is shown to be the most dominant design factor for energy saving efficiency in the DWC process. The simulation results also show that the solvent recovery process using the DWC significantly improves both the energy efficiency and the compactness of the solvent recovery process.

플라스틱은 가볍고 물성이 뛰어나며 가공이 용이하면서도 낮은 가격 때문에 우리의 실생활에서 매일 사용되고 있다. 동시에 썩지 않는 특성 탓에 폐플라스틱에 의한 환경오염의 문제가 심해짐에 따라 전 세계적으로 일회용 포장재 및 용기에 사용되는 플라스틱의 사용을 금지하는 규제 및 폐플라스틱을 재활용하려는 시도가 늘어나고 있다. 하지만 인류가 지난 수십 년간 생산한 플라스틱은 약 83억 톤이지만 이중 약 10%정도만 재활용 되었을 정도로 폐플라스틱의 재활용 비율은 미비하다. 특히, 최근 코로나 팬데믹으로 인해 택배 및 배달음식 주문량이 늘어남에 따라 플라스틱의 사용량이 급증하여 폐플라스틱의 재활용 필요성은 더욱더 커지고 있다. 본 기고문에서는 불균일 촉매를 이용한 수소첨가 폐플라스틱의 분해에 관한 최신 연구동향을 다루고자 한다. 안정적이고 반응성 및 선택성이 뛰어난 촉매 개발은 폐플라스틱의 효과적인 분해를 위해서 매우 중요하다.

The target of this work was the process development of demonstration plant to produce the high quality alternative fuel oil by the pyrolysis of mixed plastic waste. In the first step of research, the bench-scale units of 70 t/y and the pilot plant of 360 t/y had been developed. Main research contents in this step were the process performance test of pilot plant of 360 ton/year and the development of demonstration plant of 3,000 t/y, which was constructed at Korea R & D Company in Kimjae City. The process performance of pilot plant of 360 t/y showed about 80% yield of liquid product, which was obtained by both light gas oil(LGO) and heavy gas oil(HGO), The boiling point range distribution of LO product that was mainly consisting of olefin components in PONA group appeared at between that of commercial gasoline and kerosene. On the other hand, HO product was mainly paraffin and olefin components and also appeared at upper temperature distribution range than commercial diesel. Gas product showed a high fraction of $C_3\;and\;C_4$ product like LPG composition, but also a high fraction of $CO_2$ and CO by probably a little leak of process.

The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) has been developing pyroprocessing technology for recycling useful resources from spent fuel since 1997. The process includes pretreatment, electroreduction, electrorefining, electrowinning, and a waste salt treatment system. This paper briefly addresses unit processes and related innovative technologies. As for the electroreduction step, a stainless steel mesh basket was applied for adaption of granules of uranium oxide. This basket was designed for ready handling and transfer of feed material. A graphite cathode was used for the continuous collection of uranium dendrite in the electrorefining system. This enhances the throughput of the electrorefiner. A particular mesh type stirrer was designed to inhibit uranium spill-over at the liquid Cd crucible. A residual actinide recovery system was also tested to recover TRU tracer. In order to reduce the waste volume, a crystallization method is employed for Cs and Sr removal. Experiments on the unit processes were tested successfully, and based on the results, engineering-scale equipment has been designed for the PRIDE (PyRoprocess Integrated inactive DEmonstration facility).
