As the number of aging nuclear power plants increases, the market for dismantling nuclear power plants is growing rapidly. About 40% of the cost of dismantling nuclear power plants is the waste treatment cost incurred during the dismantling process, of which concrete waste accounts for a significant portion of the total waste. Securing technology for reducing and recycling concrete waste is very important not only in terms of economy but also in terms of environment. The objective is to synthesize geopolymer using inorganic materials from cement fine powder in concrete waste. Cement fine powder in concrete waste has a large amount of inorganic elements necessary for filing materials for radioactive waste treatment such as CaO and SiO2. In particular, Ca(OH)2 is synthesized by extracting Ca2+ from concrete waste. It can be used as an alkali activator to synthesize geopolymer. The mortar from crushed concrete was used as a source of calcium. The first step is to react with concrete waste and hydrochloric acid to extract ions. The second step is to react with NaOH and synthesize Ca(OH)2. The product was divided into two stages according to the reaction method and order. The first and second products were washed and dried, and then XRD and XRF were performed. The second product was matched only Ca(OH)2 and CaCO3 at the XRD peak. In the case of XRF, it was analyzed to have a purity of 67.80–78.73%. Synthesis of geopolymer by recycling materials extracted from concrete waste can reduce disposal costs and improve the utilization rate of disposal sites.

We have prepared MIL-101/graphene oxide (GO) composites with various mixing molar ratio of Fe-containing metal– organic frameworks (MOFs) against GO. When synthesizing MOFs, it was possible to synthesize uniform crystal powders using hydrothermal method. MIL-101 consists of a terephthalic acid (TPA) ligand, with the central metal composed of Fe, which was the working electrode material for supercapacitors. Field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis had been done to ascertain microstructures and morphologies of the composites. Cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and galvanostatic charge–discharge measurements were performed to analyze the electrochemical properties of the composite electrodes in 6 M KOH electrolyte. By controlling the metal ligand mole ratio against GO, we prepared a changed MOF structure and a different composite morphology, which could be studied as one of the promising optimized electrode materials for supercapacitors.

절화장미 삽목묘 대량생산 효율을 높이기 위해 국내 육성 절화장미 ‘엔틱컬’(Rosa hybrida ‘Antique Curl’)을 대상으로 생장 활력이 높은 단경삽목묘 주요 절위를 분석하였다. 화경으로부터 순서대로 5매엽 이상을 가진 마디 6개를 삽목(6 절위, Level 1~6)하여 온실과 생장환경조절실에서 각각 30일간 관리 하였다. 그 결과, 삽목 절위가 기부 쪽으로 내려갈수록 발근율과 액아 생장이 억제되었고, 삽수 잎의 황화 및 낙엽 현상이 조기에 나타났다. 잎의 탄수화물 함량은 발근과 신초발아율에 영향을 주지 않았다. 온실환경에서 1~3 절위, 생장환경조절실 에서 1~2 절위의 생장이 가장 우수하였고, 모두 4절위까지는 정상적인 생장을 보였다. 결과적으로 상업용 장미 시설 생산에서 대량삽목번식을 할 때 화경으로부터 5매엽을 가진 네번 째 마디(level 4)까지 가능할 것으로 확인되었다.
