Decommissioning waste is generated with various types and large quantities within a short period. Concrete, a significant building material for nuclear facilities, is one of the largest decommissioning wastes, which is mixed with aggregate, sand, and cement with water by the relevant mixing ratio. Recently, the proposed treatment method for volume reduction of radioactive concrete waste was proven up to scale-up testing using unit equipment, which involved sequentially thermomechanical and chemical treatment. According to studies, the aggregate as non-radioactive material is separated from cement components with contaminated radionuclides as less than clearance criteria, so the volume of radioactive concrete waste is decreased effectively. However, some supplementation points were presented to commercialize the process. Hence, the process requires efficiency as possible to minimize the interface parts, either by integration or rearranging the equipment. In this study, feasibility testing was performed using integrated heating and grinding equipment, to supplement the possible issue of generated powder and dust during the process. Previously, heat treatment and grinding devices were configured separately for pilot-scale testing. But some problems such as leakage and pipe blockage occurred during the transportation of generated fine powder, which caused difficulties in maintaining the equipment. For that reason, we studied to reduce the interface between the equipment by integrating and rearranging the equipment. To evaluate the thermal grinding performance, the fraction of coarse and concrete fines based on 1mm particle size was measured, and the amount of residual cement in each part was analyzed by wet analysis using 4M hydrochloric acid. The result was compared with previous studies and the thermomechanical equipment could be selected to enhance the process. Therefore, it is expected that the equipment for commercialization could be optimized and composed the process compactly by this study.

In this study, Fe-Cu-C alloy is sintered by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The sintering conditions are 60 MPa pressure with heating rates of 30, 60 and 9oC/min to determine the influence of heating rate on the mechanical and microstructure properties of the sintered alloys. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the sintered Fe-Cu-C alloy is investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The temperature of shrinkage displacement is changed at 450oC with heating rates 30, 60, and 90oC/min. The temperature of the shrinkage displacement is finished at 650oC when heating rate 30oC/min, at 700oC when heating rate 60oC/min and at 800oC when heating rate 90oC/min. For the sintered alloy at heating rates of 30, 60, and 90oC/min, the apparent porosity is calculated to be 3.7%, 5.2%, and 7.7%, respectively. The hardness of the sintered alloys is investigated using Rockwell hardness measurements. The objective of this study is to investigate the densification behavior, porosity, and mechanical properties of the sintered Fe-Cu-C alloys depending on the heating rate.

Using the nano Fe powders having 50 nm in diameter, Fe compact bodies were fabricated by injec-tion molding process. The relationship between microstructure and material properties depending on the volume ratio of powder/binder and sintering temperature were characterized by SEM, TEM techniques. In the compact body with the volume percentage ratio of 45(Fe powder) : 55(binder), which was sintered at the relative density was about and the values of volume shrinkage and hardness were about and 242.0 Hv, respec-tively. Using the composition of 50(Fe powder) : 50(binder) and sintered at the values of relative density, volume shrinkage and hardness of Fe sintered bodies were and 152.8 Hv, respectively. They showed brittle fracture mode due to the porous and fine microstructure.

수산용 항균제로 널리 사용되고 있는 옥소린산의 잔류량을 전북지역에서 시판중인 뱀장어 근육조직에서 측정하였다. 후배부 근육중의 옥소린산 잔류량은 시료에 따라 많은 차이가 있었으며 2%의 시료에서는 검출되지 않았다. 옥소린산이 검출된 시료중 16%에서는 그 농도가 0.1 ppm 이상이었다. 중요 장기중의 옥소린산 농도는 신장>간장>혈장>근육의 순이었다. 근육중의 옥소린산은 10분 가열에 의해 거의 감소되지 않았으며 30분 가열에 의해서는 원래 농도의 50% 수준으로 감소하였으나 30분 가열 후의 시료는 심하게 탄화되었다. 고용량의 옥소린산을 실험실적으로 뱀장어에 투여하여 얻은 근육중의 농도나 수용액중의 옥소린산이 가열에 의해 파괴되는 경향을 검토함으로써 옥소린산의 열안정성이 확인되었다. 이 연구 결과는 뱀장어 소비자를 옥소린산 섭취로부터 보호할 수 있는 규제의 강화가 필요함을 시사한다.

Texture is an important quality factor of processed chestnut products, which changes depending on the conditions of boiling process. The conventional boiling process consists of three stage(1st : 70 minutes at 60; 2nd : 20minutes at 70; 3rd : 80minutes at 98). To improve the conventional boiling process of processed chestnut products, we investigated the changes of texture at different stages of boiling process and undertook the optimization of boiling process by response surface method on heating times of 2nd and 3rd heating, and amount of softening agent. The initial hardness and cohesiveness, the most important textural characteristics of chestnut, were 7.876kg and 0.189, respectively. In the third boiling stage, hardness decreased to 0.313kg and cohesiveness increased to 0.310. Using response surface method the minimum point of hardness and maximum point of cohesiveness was examined and model equations for predicting the changes of hardness and cohesiveness in the optional boiling condition were developed.
