The synthesis and characteristics of W-Ni-Fe nanocomposite powder by hydrogen reduction of ball milled W-Ni-Fe oxide mixture were investigated. The ball milled oxide mixture was prepared by high energy attrition milling of W blue powder, NiO and for 1 h. The structure of the oxide mixture was characteristic of nano porous agglomerate composite powder consisting of nanoscale particles and pores which act as effective removal path of water vapor during hydrogen reduction process. The reduction experiment showed that the reduction reaction starts from NiO, followed by and finally W oxide. It was also found that during the reduction process rapid alloying of Ni-Fe yielded the formation of -Ni-Fe. After reduction at 80 for 1 h, the nano-composite powder of W-4.57Ni-2.34Fe comprising W and -Ni-Fe phases was produced, of which grain size was35nm for W and 87 nm for -Ni-Fe, respectively. Sinterability of the W heavy alloy nanopowder showing full density and sound microstructure under the condition of 147/20 min is thought to be suitable for raw material for powder injection molding of tungsten heavy alloy.

염화철(Ferrous Choloride) 증기의 고온 수소환원 반응을 통한 미립질 철분말의 생성속도에 대한 이론적인 해석돠 실험을 수행하였다. 철분말의 생성기구는 염화철이 증발하여 생성된 증기와 운반가스인 알곤을 혼합하여 반응부로 유입시키고 수소에 의한 고온환원반을을 통하여 철분말과 함께 부산물인 염화수소(HCI) 가스를 얻게 된다. 생성된 반응부 후미에 설치한 유기용매 포집기를 이용하여 회수하였으며, 염화수소는 가성소다 수용액에 흡수시키고 이를 적정함으로써 초기 반응물인 염화철의 전환율을 계산하였다. 반응속도식의 반응물에 대하여 1차반응(1st-order reaction)이고 염화철 증가와 운반체인 알곤가스가 평형상태일 때의 속도상수는 k=7,879exp(-53,840/RT)dm3/mole.sec으로 표시되며, 이때의 활성화에너지는 53.84kJ/mole이었다. 철분말의 TEM 사진에 의하면 입도범위는 0.1~1.0μm이며, 반응온도 및 가스유량에는 크게 영향을 받지 않는것으로 나타났다.

Ar/Ar-H2 플라즈마법으로 고순도 Nb금속을 환원 정련하였다. 또한, Ar-(20%)H2플라즈마에서의 용융Nb금속과 수소간의 반응을 해석하였다. Ar플라즈마 환원에서는 C/Nb2O5=5.00의 비에서 99.5wt%의 금속 Nb을 얻었으며, 니오븀 산화물의 열분해에 의한 O/Sub 2/의 손실은 발생하지 않았다.

These days, the development of various pre- and post-combustion techniques has been pursued in order to reduce the emission of CO2 in the fleet of coal-fired power plants, since it is of great importance to each country’s energy production while also being the single largest emitter of CO2. As part of this kind of research efforts, in this study, a novel burning method is tried by the co-burning of the pulverized coal with the stoichiometric mixture of the hydrogen and oxygen (H2+1/2O2) called as HHO. For the investigation of this idea, the commercial computational code (STAR-CCM+) was used to perform a series of calculation for the IFRF (International Flame Research Foundation) coal-fired boiler (Michel and Payne, 1980). In order to verify the code performance, first of all, the experimental data of IFRF has been successfully compared with the calculation data. Further, the calculated data employed with pure coal are compared with the co-burning case for the evaluation of the substituted HHO performance. The reduced amount of coal feeding was fixed to be 30% and the added amount of HHO to produce a similar flame temperature with pure coal combustion was considered as 100% case of HHO addition. This value varies from 100 to 90, 80, 60, 50, 0% in order to see the effect of HHO amount on the performance of pulverized coal-fired combustion with the 30% reduced coal feeding. One of the most important thing found in this study is that the 100% addition of HHO amount shows approximately the same flame shape and temperature with the case of 100% coal combustion, even if the magnitude of the flow velocity differs significantly due to the reduced amount of air oxidizer. This suggests the high possibility of the replacement of the coal fuel with HHO in order to reduce the CO2 emission in pulverized coal-fired power plant. However, an extensive parametric study will be needed in near future, in terms of the reduction amount of coal and HHO addition in order to evaluate the possibility of the HHO replacement for coal in pulverized coal-fired combustion.
