Coal-based graphite has become the main material of emerging industries. The microstructure of coal-based graphite plays an important role in its applications in many fields. In this paper, the effect of carbon disulfide/N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone solvent mixture extraction on the microstructure of bituminous coal-based graphite was systematically studied through preliminary extraction coupled with high-temperature graphitization. The graphitization degree g (75.65%) of the coal residue-based graphite was significantly higher than that of the raw coal-based graphite. The crystallite size La of the coal residue-based graphite was reduced by 47.06% compared with the raw coal-based graphite. The ID/ IG value of the coal residue-based graphite is smaller than that of the raw coal-based graphite. The specific surface area (16.72 m2/ g) and total pore volume (0.0567 m3/ g) of the coal residue-based graphite are increased in varying degrees compared with the raw coal-based graphite. This study found a carbon source that can be used to prepare coal-based graphite with high graphitization degree. The results are expected to provide a theoretical basis for further clean and efficient utilization of the coal residue resources.

Low temperature cracking on asphalt material is one of the serious distresses for asphalt pavement built in northern U.S., Europe and Canada. Thermal stress is a key factor for measuring (and estimating) the resistant capability of asphalt pavement against low temperature cracking. For this reason, many road agencies have recognized thermal stress as a crucial parameter for evaluating the low temperature performance of asphalt pavement materials. Thermal stress is conventionally computed through two steps. First, the relaxation modulus E(t) is generated thorough the conversion of the experimental creep compliance data D(t). Then thermal stress (T℃) is numerically estimated solving convolution integral. In this paper, a one-step approach to the calculation of thermal stress is proposed. This method is based on Laplace transformation. Thermal stress and corresponding critical cracking temperature obtained with single- and double-step procedure on a set of three mixtures are graphically and statistically compared. It is observed that the application of Laplace transformation provides reliable computation results of thermal stress compared to the conventional computation approach.

OBJECTIVES: Bituminous materials, such as tack coat, are utilized between pavement layers for improving the bond strength in pavement construction sites. The standards regarding the application of bituminous material are not clearly presented in the Korean construction guideline without RS(C)-4. Hence, the objective of this study is to determine the optimum content of bituminous materials by analyzing interlayer shear strength (ISS) from the direct shear tester, which was developed in this research. The shear strength of tack coat was defined with the sort of bituminous materials. METHODS : The mixtures for the shear test were made using marshall mix design. The specimens were vertically and horizontally separated for the direct shear test. The separated specimens were bonded using bituminous material. The objectives of the experiment are to determine the performance of bond and shear properties resulting from slippage, rutting, shovel, and corrugation of asphalt pavements. A machine based on the Louisiana interlayer shear strength tester (LISST) of NCHRP Report-712 was developed to determine the ISS. The applied types of tack coat were RS(C)-4, AP-3, QRS-4, and BD-coat with contents of 0.3ℓ/m2, 0.45ℓ/m2, 0.6ℓ/m2, and 0.8ℓ/m2, respectively. RESULTS: Table 2 gives the results of the direct shear test using the developed shear machine. The BD-coat type indicated the highest average ISS value compared to the others. Between the surface and binder course, optimum tack coat application rates for AP-3, RS(C)-4, QRS-4, and BD-Coat were 0.6ℓ/m2, 0.3ℓ/m2, 0.6ℓ/m2, and 0.45ℓ/m2, respectively. These optimum contents were determined using the ISS value. CONCLUSIONS: The ISS values of AP-3, RS(C)-4, and QRS-4 showed similar tendencies when ISS increased in the range 0.3~0.6ℓ/m2, while ISS decreased when the applied rate exceeded 0.6ℓ/m2. Similarly, the highest ISS value of the BD-coat was observed when the applied rate was 0.45 ℓ/m2. However, shear strength was similar to the maximum value of ISS when the tack-coat application rate of BD-Coat exceeded 0.45ℓ/m2.

반복주행시험에서 얻은 침하깊이와 동적안정도는 아스팔트 혼합물의 소성변형 저항성 평가를 위하여 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만 바퀴의 재질에 따라 다르게 얻어지는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 반복주행시험시 핵심요소라 할 수 있는 바퀴의 재질에 대하여 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 2종류(7.5mm, 15mm)의 고무바퀴와 고무를 씌우지 않은 강재(Steel)바퀴 한 종류를 사용하였으며, 반복주행시험을 통하여 바퀴재질에 따른 혼합물의 소성변형 저항성을 평가하였다. 또한 반복주행시험에서 얻은 침하깊이와 동적안정도를 Kim test의 변형강도와의 상관성 분석을 통하여 반복주행 시험용 최적 바퀴를 선정하는데 이용하였다. 고무두께가 15mm, 7.5mm, 0mm에 대한 상관성 분석결과 각각 0.7, 0.8. 0.9 이상이 나와 고무를 사용하지 않은 강재바퀴가 변형강도와의 상관성이 가장 높은 값을 보여주어 향후 반복주행시험시 강재바퀴의 사용이 소성변형을 예측하는데 가장 유리 할 것으로 판단된다.

LDPE 개질된 칼라 역청 콘크리트는 일반 아스팔트 혼합물에 비해 높은 안정도와 인장강도를 나타냈으며, 특히 소성변형 저항성에서 많은 향상을 가져왔다. Rosin 개질된 칼라 역청 콘크리트는 일반 아스팔트 혼합물보다 높은 안정도와 동결융해저항성을 보였으며, 특히 간접인장강도에서 많은 향상을 보였다. LDPE +Rosin의 개질은 거의 대부분의 역학적 특성의 증가를 가져왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서 사용된 칼라 역청 콘크리트 혼합물은 기존 AP-3를 사용한 아스팔트 콘크리트 혼합물과 비교해 역학적 특성이 비슷하였으며, 모든 혼합물은 차도용 시방 규정을 만족하였다. 그리고, 이를 LDPE와 Rosin으로 개질할 경우 포장의 공용성능이 더욱 향상될 것으로 보여 차도용으로 충분히 사용 가능함을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 유연탄을 원료로 하는 국내 모 화력발전소에서 발생하는 비회(fly ash)와 석탄회 매립염호수(saline ash pond)에 대하여 지구화학적으로 조사함으로써 석탄회와의 반응에 의한 매립호수의 수질변화와 염수와의 반응에 의한 석탄회내의 원소용출 특성을 고찰하였다. 이를 위해, 각각 1개씩의 비회와 바닥재, 그리고 7개의 매립호수 수질시료를 채취하였다. 이 중, 비회와 바닥재, 그리고 2개의 수질시료는 총 55개 항목의 미량금속원소에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 비회 내에는 Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, Se, Cd, Sb, Au, Pb, B 등과 같은 친황원소들의 함량이 비교적 높게 나타났다. 하지만, 매립호수 내에서는 해수에 비하여 As, Ba, Co, Ga, Li, Mn, Mo, Sb, U, V, W, Zr 등이 상대적으로 농집되어 있었다. 또한, 각 원소에 대하여 비회 내의 농도와 매립호수 내의 농도 비를 비교한 결과, Ag, Bi, Li, Mo, Rb, Sb, Sc, Se, Sn, Sr, W 등이 타 원소들과 비하여 매립호수에 농집되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 상대적 휘발정도에 의해 일부 금속원소가 비회의 표면에 농집된다 하더라도 금속원소의 용출특성이 용해도나 흡착처럼 각 원소의 지화학적 거동 특성에 영향 받음을 의미하는 것이다.

It has been studied that combustion and the production of air pollution of anthracite - bituminous coal blend in a fluidized bed coal combustor. The objects of this study were to investigate mixing characteristics of the particles as well as the combustibility of the low grade domestic anthracite coal and imported high calorific bituminous coal in the fluidized bed coal combustor. They were used as coal samples ; the domestic low grade anthracite coal with heating value of 2,010㎉/㎏ and the imported high grade bituminous coal with heating value of 6,520㎉/㎏. Also, the effects of air flow rate and anthracite fraction on the reaching time of steady state condition have been studied. The experimental results are presented as follows. The time of reaching to steady state was affected by the temperature variation. The steady state time was about 120 minute at 300scfh which was the fastest. It has been found that O_2 and CO_2 concentration were reached steady state at about 100 minute. It has been found that O_2 concentration decreased and CO_2 concentration increased as the height of fluidized bed increased. It was found that splash zone was mainly located from 25㎝ to 35㎝ above distributor. Also, as anthracite fraction increased, the mass of elutriation particles increased, and CO_2 concentration decreased. As air flow rate increased, O_2 concentration decreased and CO_2 concentration increased. Regardless of anthracite fraction and flow rate, the uncombustible weight percentage according to average diameter of elutriation particles were approximately high in the case of fine particles. As anthracite fraction and air flow rate increased, elutriation ratio increased. As anthracite fraction was increased, exit combustible content over feeding combustible content was increased. Regardless of anthracite fraction, size distribution of bed material from discharge was almost constant. Over bed temperature 850℃ and excess air 20%, the difference of combution efficiencies were little. It is estimate that the combustion condition in anthracite-bituminous coal blend combustion is suitable at the velocity 0.3m/s, bed temperature 850℃, the excess air 20%.
