The permanent shutdown of NPPs (nuclear power plants) has been growing steadily around the world. Also, permanent shutdown of old NPPs has been determined following to Kori-1 and Wolsong-1 in the Korea. Among issues of decommissioning of NPPs, especially, the management of radioactive waste is the most sensitive issue. According to IAEA, a large volume of radioactive concrete waste would be generated from decommissioning of nuclear facilities. Also, EC (European commission) expected that about 500 million tons of concrete will be produced in Europe by 2060 due to decommissioning of NPPs. It is known that the radioactive concrete consists of surface contaminated concrete and activated concrete. So, if contaminants from radioactive concretes can be removed using specific technologies, volume reduction of concrete can be achieved. Since there is no experience of decommissioning of NPPs in Korea, it is important to analyze previous cases. In this study, decontamination of radioactive concrete is analyzed through previous studies. Decontamination technologies of concrete are composed of mechanical methods, chemical methods, and thermal methods. Mechanical methods are physical technologies separating contaminants from concrete using scabbling, milling, and vacuum cleaning. In chemical methods, contaminants were removed from concrete using an oxidizing agent/reducing agent, acid/base. Thermal methods are removal technologies using lasers, microwaves, and pulsed power discharge. Some methods still have practical use cases, and further research is needed on the issue of generation of secondary waste. Review on the experience of decontamination of concrete show that waste of concrete generated during decommissioning of NPPs are expected to have effect of large volume reduction. However, many studies are needed because secondary waste and decontamination cost is sensitive issue of concrete generated during decommissioning of NPPs. In order to successful decommissioning of NPPs in Korea, various research of decontamination of concrete are need
Currently, the storage temperature of the production factory of medicinal herbs (hGMP) is about 5~ 12℃. This temperature is possible to suppress pest but can not kill the pests. For this reason, we need to lower the temperature during lethal time because the pest has often occurred inside the packaging of medicinal herbs in the distribution process in summer. In order to solve this problem, we have investigated the lethal time of the storage insect(Tribolium castaneum Herbst) After we froze medicinal herbs(Cnidium officinale Makino and Angelica gigas N. ) at approx. –70℃ and –15℃ respectively. We then investigated the change of bioactive components and exterior characteristics of medicinal herbs in order to determine whether there is a change of quality. The results were as follows. The lethal time of Tribolium castaneum Herbst is about 2 minutes if processed at approx. –70℃, while the other time is about 16 minutes at approx. –15℃. We investigated the change of quality after the treatment of the two medicinal herbs in the similar way but could not confirm the difference of color and brightness and the bioactive components on statistics. Through this research, it has been verified that the process of quick freezing for pest control can not affect the main quality of the medicinal herbs. Therefore this technology can be introduced in the manufacturing process of medicinal herbs through additional research.
We divided the sample into four groups by temperature regimes and comparing the Lethal effect after exposure to high room temperatures for 50~58 days. After inoculating Cnidium officinale Makino with Tribolium castaneum Herbst, the storage insects of medicinal herbs, was 20 respectively. The results of treating cut Cninium officinale Makino are listed below. Survival rate of group A by exposure of 5 times at 35~36.5℃ is less than 7.5%. Survival rate of group C by exposure of 5 times at 35.5~39.5℃ and group D by exposure of 23day at 37~44℃ is less than 2.5%. Especially in the case of group D, we found that complete eradication of the insect is difficult despite exposure high temperature for a long time. Also most of the grinded Cninium officinale Makino has the same patten but group B by relatively treated low temperature has a significant difference in mortality. Insect mortality in cut Cninium officinale Makino by exposure at 35℃ and 39.5℃ is 7.5% and the insect mortality in grinded Cninium officinale Makino by exposure at 39. 5℃ is only 75%. The reason is estimated that heat conduction of grinded Cninium officinale Makino is slow and it was less shocked by heat because The final core temperature of medicinal herbs is relatively low about 0.5~2℃. This means that storage insect(Tribolium castaneum Herbst) can be suppressed at mid-high temperature if it is to be treated more than 50 days without problem of quality deterioration of medicinal herbs that can be caused by high temperature.
This study of the electrolysis reaction fillers and electrolytic treatment sludge generated by checking the status and properties of the sludge before and after electrolysis filler caused by a reaction to examine the water-soluble cutting oil sludge and organic matter removal mechanism of filling in the packed bed bipolar electrolytic reactor was to identify the characteristics. Delivery was analyzed using a SEM (scanning electron microscope) recording method for the filling material in the GAC surface characterization of the packed bed bipolar electrolytic reactor to look at the reaction of the waste water generated by the electrolytic removal reaction. Sludge generated in order to analyze the properties of XRD(x-ray diffraction) was analyzed using the device. The video of the GAC surface before and after the reaction was taken by SEM, it can be known indirectly the change between the voids in the GAC in figure before and after. Prior to the electrolytic treatment can be seen that there is some contamination between the pores, but it can be seen that after the treatment, rather than clean the pores of the GAC. This photograph of the surface after the electrolytic treatment, GAC is decomposed organic material adsorbed on the surface by dissolution of ions at the anode acting on bipolar electrolytic, it is corroded, it is possible to observe what happens. It was found to form iron oxide when analyzing the electrolytic sludge using XRD. Properties of the sludge generated after electrolysis, was composed primarily of oxygen and iron. These results wastewater treatment by filling in the electrolytic cell is that it indirectly proves to occur by electrolysis removal, it is considered to be able to demonstrate the deletion mechanism indirectly.
