AASC에서 황산염과 NaOH의 혼합 사용은 황산염의 단독 사용의 경우와 비교하여 일정 수준의 농도 범위에서 강도를 향상시키고 조직을 치밀화 시키는 등의 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.

Improving rice high-quality potential is to suffice the food demand of the rapid decreasing consumption, and is a major breeding target recently. We calculated the alkali digestion value (ADV), used to indirectly measure gelatinization temperature, to evaluate the quality of cooked rice in 2013 and 2014. The ADV score of frequency distribution was higher milled rice than brown rice. In total, nine different quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were found on chromosomes1, 3, 5, 6 and 8 in 2013 and 2014. Also, chromosome 5, 8 were detected over two years. The polymorphism using RM223, RM3530, and RM18130 markers can be used to select lines that have a good trait for breeding of high-quality rice. We conclude that selected molecular markers from this QTL analysis could be exploited in future rice quality.

In this study, it was developed eco-friendly alkali-activated slag fiber reinforced concrete using ground granulated blast furnace slag, alkali activator (water glass, sodium hydroxides), and steel fiber. Eight reinforced concrete beam using alkali-activated slag concrete were constructed and tested under monotonic loading. The major variables were mixture ratio of alkali activator, mixed/without of steel fiber. Experimental programs were carried out to improve and evaluate the flexural performance of such test specimens, such as the load-displacement, the failure mode, the maximum load carrying capacity, and ductility capacity. All the specimens were modeled in scale-down size. The reinforced concrete beams using the eco-friendly alkali-activated slag fiber reinforced concrete was failed by the flexure or flexure-shear in general. In addition, the maximum strength increased with the adding the mol of sodium hydroxide, and the specimen reinforced the steel fiber showed the value of maximum strength which is increased by 15.8% through 25.9%. It is thought that eco-friendly alkali-activated slag fiber reinforced concrete can be used with construction material and product to replace normal concrete. If there is applied to structures such as precast concrete member and production of 2nd concrete product, it could be improved the productivity and reduction of construction duration etc.

Due to a world trend on renewable energy, biomass that is one of renewable energy resources has to be applied at thermochemical process, actively. However, in commercial plant, one of many problems is an agglomeration production at biomass thermochemical process, because it leads to disturb continuous operation on thermochemical process. Thus, in this study, the EFB (empty fruit bunch), one of palm oil industry by-products was used as a biomass fuel, and washed by water and nitric acid solution (0.1wt.%) with different total washing times for resolving this problem at biomass thermochemical process. After washing, ash content was decreased from 5.9wt.% to 1.53wt.% using all of the washing treatments, and the Alkali & Alkaline Earth Metallic (AAEM) was removed over 80wt.% of total AAEM, such as potassium, magnesium, calcium and sodium. Additionally, SEM with XRD was analyzed to confirm the characteristics of produced agglomeration, and the agglomeration production ratio was measured: it revealed that the ratio was resulted in decrease over half, in the case of using all of washed EFBs.

Environmental problems caused by the occurrence of carbon dioxide are recognized as a critical issue throughout the world. As a result, a measure for the use of cement and improvement of its quality must be sought out. In order to reduce the occurrence of carbon dioxide during the manufacturing process of cement, this study creates an alkali-activated slag cement that utilizes ground granulated blast furnace slag, an industrial by-product, and substitutes metakaolin as an alternative for silica fume to improve the process of manufacturing high-strength concrete and its quality. The study discerns the mechanical characteristics by measuring the flexibility and compressive strength through the mortar matrix and discerns the durability by conducting an acid resistance test and chloride ion penetration resistance test. Also, the study discerns the hydration products through an XRD test. Based on the results of such tests, it is anticipated that it may be used as a secondary product for concrete or buildings that require superior long-term strength and durability compared to regular Portland cement. However, as no clear results were found in this study regarding the substitution of metakaolin, it displayed mixed results in comparison to previous studies. Nevertheless, it is expected that metakaolin will become a more superior admixture if its issues are improved through continuous research studies.

본 연구는 수산화나트륨(NaOH)으로 활성화된 알칼리 활성화 슬래그 시멘트(alkali-activated slag cement; AASC)의 기초 특성에 관한 실험에 관한 연구이다. 물-결합재 비(W/B)를 0.4와 0.5로 하였다. 그리고 활성화제의 농도를 2M과 4M을 사용하였다. 각 W/B 비에 대해5가지의 배합을 고려하였다. N0는 KS L 5109의 방법이고 N1~N4는 배합시간, 배합 단계 그리고 잔골재의 투입시점을 다르게 변화시켰다. 시험결과 AASC의 플로우 값, 강도 그리고 건조수축은 잔골재의 투입시점에 영향을 받았다. 플로우 값은 잔골재의 투입시점이 늦춰짐에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 압축강도와 휨강도는 투입시점이 늦어짐에 따라 증가하였다. 더구나 XRD 분석은 이러한 결과들을뒷받침하고 있었다. 건조수축은 잔골재의 투입시점이 늦어지면 증가하였다. 본 연구에 고려된 실험요인들을 통해 배합을 조절한다면 AASC의 특성을 향상시킬 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 시멘트 경화체로부터의 알칼리 침출에 의한 pH 증가와 알칼리 침출속도에 관하여 수행되었다. 배합, 물-시멘트 비, 결합재에따른 영향을 평가하기 위해 각각을 변수로 하여 시험체를 제작하였다. 시험체는 정사각형 수조형태로 내부에 물을 저장하여 이온이 해리되어 침출될 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 시험체 내부 용액의 대기접촉으로 인한 예기치 못한 화학적 반응을 방지하기 위해 폴리에틸렌 수지로포장했다. 침투능과 침투속도를 결정하기 위해 용액의 pH는 더 이상 변화가 없을 때까지 시간 경과에 따라 측정하였다. 알칼리 침출에 의한 용액의 pH 변화에 있어서 물-시멘트 비의 영향은 거의 없는 것으로 나타났으며, 반면에 결합재에 따른 영향은 큰 것으로 나타났다. 결합재로 OPC 만을 사용한 경우에 알칼리 침출이 높았으며, 30% PFA와 60% GGBS의 경우에 알칼리 침출이 낮았다. pH 측정이 종료된후, 시험체 내부 표면으로부터 깊이 1.0 mm 간격으로 채취한 시료를 증류수로 현탁시켜 현탁액의 pH를 측정하였다. OPC의 경우에는 약7-8 mm 깊이까지 침출의 영향을 받고, 30% PFA와 60% GGBS의 경우에는 침출 영향을 받는 깊이가 더 깊어짐을 알 수 있었다.

In the previous result, the flexural strength of geopolymer prepared was affected by the evaporation of water content or the shrinkage rate in the curing process of specimen. We investigated the effect of SiO2/H2O ratio on the physical property of geopolymer prepared in this research. The specimen of geopolymer tile was made from mine tailing and melting slag. The maximum flexural strength was obtained at SiO2/H2O ratio of 0.21 under our experimental condition. And the lowest was obtained at SiO2/H2O 0.41. EDS analysis was acted to elucidate this cause. According to the results, it was due to the extent of geopolymerization at the inside and outside of specimen.
