Molten salt consisting primarily of eutectic LiCl-KCl is currently being used in electrorefiners in the Fuel Conditioning Facility at Idaho National Laboratory. Options are currently being evaluated for storing this salt outside of the argon atmosphere hot cell. The hygroscopic nature of eutectic LiCl-KCl makes is susceptible to deliquescence in air followed by extreme corrosion of metallic cannisters. In this study, the effect of occluding the salt into a zeolite on water sorption/desorption was tested. Two zeolites were investigated: Na-Y and zeolite 4A. Na-Y was ineffective at occluding a high percentage of the salt at either 10 or 20wt% loading. Zeolite-4A was effective at occluding the salt with high efficiency at both loading levels. Weight gain in salt occluded zeolite-4A (SOZ) from water sorption at 20% relative humidity and 40℃ was 17wt% for 10% SOZ and 10wt% for 20% SOZ. In both cases, neither deliquescence nor corrosion occurred over a period of 31 days. After hydration, most of the water could be driven off by heating the hydrated salt occluded zeolite to 530℃. However, some HCl forms during dehydration due to salt hydrolysis. Over a wide range of temperatures (320–700℃) and ramp rates (5, 10, and 20℃ min−1), HCl formation was no more than 0.6% of the Cl− in the original salt.

In this work, the sulfonic acid group was introduced into the resorcinol–formaldehyde (RF) microspheres by the addition of p-phenolsulfonic acid during the polycondensation process of RF. The hydrophilicity of the sulfonated RF allowed KOH to infiltrate inside the microspheres, which enhanced the formation of mesopores in the carbon microspheres during the activation process by KOH. SEM and TEM observations and N2 adsorption measurements verified the formation of abundant mesopores in the porous carbon microspheres. The BET surface area of these mesoporous carbons exceeded 2000 m2/ g. In 17 m NaClO4 “water-in-salt” (WIS) electrolyte-based supercapacitor, the synthesized mesoporous carbon exhibited high specific capacitance of 170 F/g at current density of 0.5 A/g, comparable to those in regular KOH electrolyte. When graphite was used as current collectors, the symmetric cell could operate at 2.5 V, and the mesoporous carbon exhibited an energy density of 43 Wh/kg at power density of 0.25 kW/kg, and 25 Wh/kg at power density of 6.25 kW/kg, respectively, which were superior to those using Pt or stainless steel as current collectors. The mesoporous carbon/graphite was an excellent electrode in new-generation “WIS” electrolyte-based high-voltage supercapacitor due to their high energy and power density.

Deionized water, methanol, and ethanol were investigated for their effectiveness at dissolving LiCl-KCl-UCl3 at 25, 35, and 50℃ using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to study the concentration evolution of uranium and mass ratio evolutions of lithium and potassium in these solvents. A visualization experiment of the dissolution of the ternary salt in solvents was performed at 25℃ for 2 min to gain further understanding of the reactions. Aforementioned solvents were evaluated for their performance on removing the adhered ternary salt from uranium dendrites that were electrochemically separated in a molten LiCl-KCl-UCl3 electrolyte (500℃) using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). Findings indicate that deionized water is best suited for dissolving the ternary salt and removing adhered salt from electrodeposits. The maximum uranium concentrations detected in deionized water, methanol, and ethanol for the different temperature conditions were 8.33, 5.67, 2.79 μg·L-1 for 25℃, 10.62, 5.73, 2.50 μg·L-1 for 35℃, and 11.55, 6.75, and 4.73 μg·L-1 for 50℃. ICP-MS analysis indicates that ethanol did not take up any KCl during dissolutions investigated. SEM-EDS analysis of ethanol washed uranium dendrites confirmed that KCl was still adhered to the surface. Saturation criteria is also proposed and utilized to approximate the state of saturation of the solvents used in the dissolution trials.

As an approach for estimation of the droplet size in the molten salt-liquid metal extraction process, a droplet formation experiment at room temperature was conducted to evaluate the applicability of the Scheele-Meister model with water-mercury system as a surrogate that is similar to the molten salt-liquid metal system. In the experiment, droplets were formed through the nozzle and the droplet size was measured using a digital camera and image analysis software. As nozzles, commercially available needles with inner diameters (ID) of 0.018 cm and 0.025 cm and self-fabricated nozzles with 3-holes (ID: 0.0135 cm), 4-holes (ID: 0.0135 cm), and 2-holes (ID: 0.0148 cm) were used. The mercury penetration lengths in the nozzles were 1.3 cm for the needles and 0.5 cm for the self-fabricated nozzles. The droplets formed from each nozzle maintained stable spherical shape up to 20 cm below the nozzle. The droplet size measurements were within a 10% error range when compared to the Scheele-Meister model estimates. The experimental results show th

ber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars for concrete structure have been extensively investigated and a number of FRP bars are commercially available. However, major shortcoming of the existing FRP bars is low elastic modulus compared to conventional steel bars. Because of these reasons, FRP Hybrid Bar which have the concept of material hybridization(synthetic resins, deformed bar, glass fiber etc) for concrete structures have been developed. One of main features of this bar is corrosion resistance and this is important to confirm this anti-corrosion capacity of FRP Hybrid Bar. In this study, galvanic corrosion current behavior of 3 types of specimens, including two types of FRP Hybrid Bars and one conventional steel rebar, was investigated under the 0%, 1.5%, 3% and 6% salt water ratio condition. The result of this study can be used to evaluate the applicability of FRP Hybrid Bar to concrete structures.

The straight nanopores in cellulose acetate (CA) polymers for battery gel separators were generated by utilizing both Ni(NO3)2·6H2O and water pressure. When polymer film was exposed to water pressure, the continuous nanopores were generated after complexing with Ni(NO3)2·6H2O. These results could be explained by that polymer chains were weakened because of the plasticization effect of the Ni(NO3)2·6H2O incorporated into the CA. The well controlled CA membrane after water pressure treatment enabled fabrication of highly reliable cell by utilizing 2032-type coin cell structure. The resulting cell performance exhibited both the effect of the physical morphology of CA separator and the chemical interaction of electrolyte with CA polymer which facilitates the Li-ion in the cell.

In this study, the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of low-salt Myungran jeotkal (Alaskan pollock roe) were evaluated after fermentation at 4℃ and 20℃ with or without the addition of deep sea water, salt from deep sea water, and vegetable-origin lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus fermentum JS, LBF). When fermented at 20℃, the addition of LBF to Myungran jeotkal resulted in a slow increase in lactic acid content, followed by an abrupt increase after five days of fermentation. However, when fermented at 4℃, the lactic acid content did not change significantly. Further, when Myungran jeotkal fermented at 4℃, the pH decreased as lactic acid production increased. The salinity of Myungran jeotkal fermented at 4℃ and 20℃ was 7% and was not affected by fermentation period. When fermented at 20℃, volatile basic nitrogen and amino nitrogen contents increased with increasing duration of fermentation. Further, volatile acid content decreased, however, the content of amino nitrogen increased after 11 days of fermentation with LBF and no salt effects were observed. When fermented at 20℃ for 13 days, preference (sensory evaluation) was the highest in all experimental groups after 9 days of fermentation, and then decreased as the fermentation period increased. The free amino acid content was highest (1,648.8 mg/100 g) in Myungran jeotkal when sun-dried salt and LBF were added, 2.3 times higher than in the control.

γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA)-containing salt was prepared by crystallization of a mixture of salt water from deep sea and fermentation broth by lactic acid bacteria that contained GABA converted from glutamic acid. Salt from deep sea water has a lower sodium content but higher calcium, potassium and magnesium contents than commercial salt. Instead of monosodium glutamate (MSG), glutamic acid was used for solving the residual MSG problem. Fermentation by a lactic acid bacterium converted 90% of added glutamic acid (5%, w/v) to GABA, and continuous production of colorless fermentation broth containing more than 3% (w/v) GABA was achieved by using an activated carbon. Mixtures of salt water and fermentation broths with various GABA concentrations were co-crystallized and the GABA content was analyzed. This analysis showed that more than 90% of GABA from broth was adsorbed to salt. The appearance and surface of this prepared GABA-containing salt were examined with an image analyzer and scanning electron microscope. No difference was found with commercial sun-dried salt and no separated particles were detected, which indicates that the co-crystallization process used is suitable for the production of GABAcontaining salt.

본 실험은 염과 건조 스트레스를 받은 벼 식물체의 생리학적 반응을 잎의 수분 보유적인 측면에서 조사하여, 벼의 내성품종과 비내성품종을 효율적으로 선발하기 위한 critical level을 밝혀 내성품종 육성에 응용할 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행한 시험결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. NaCl 및 PEG 처리에 의한 벼 식물체의 반응은 일차적으로 뿌리 신장의 억제가 NaCl 처리에 의해 관찰되었으나, PEG 처리에서는 벼 식물체의 뿌리가 PEG 처리 농도를 증가함에 따라 증가하는 경향이 보였다. 2. NaCl 및 PEG 처리에 의한 벼 식물체의 잎의 RWC와 LWP 사이의 상관관계를 조사한 결과, 40 mM NaCl ()와 80 mM NaCl 처리구 () 에서 RWC와 LWP사이에 높은 상관관계가 확인되었으나, PEG 처리에 의한 RWC와 LWP 사이에는 8% PEG 처리구()에서만 상관관계를 보였다. 3. RWC와 LWP사이에 높은 상관의 결과로부터 측정방법이 까다로운 LWP보다 간단하게 측정할 수 있는 RWC를 이용하여 염 및 건조 스트레스에 대한 내성 품종을 선발하는 것이 효율적이라 사료된다. 4. 염에 대한 벼 내성품종을 선발할 경우에는 80 mM NaCl을 처리한 후 48시간째에 선발하는 것이 적합하고, 한발에 대한 내성품종 선발에는 8% PEG를 처리한 후 96시간째에 선발을 하는 것이 효율적이라 사료된다.

PVA/SSA-H+으로 제조된 막은 1가 이온 Li+, Na+, K+, 2가 이온 Mg2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, 3가 이온 Al+로 치환되었다. 각 금속이온이 치환된 막의 금속이온의 효과를 알아보기 위하여 물-에탄올 및 물-메탄올 혼합용액에 대하여 팽윤도 및 투과증발 실험을 수행하였다. 또한 이들의 치환정도를 알아보기 위해 부분적으로 ESCA 실험을 통하여 알아보았다. 물-에탄올 및 물-메탄올 혼합용액에 대한 팽윤도는 Li+> Na+>K+의 순으로 감소하였는데 이는 금속이온의 `salting-out'효과에 기인하는 것으로 사료되었으며, 2가 및 3가이온의 경우의 팽윤도 결과는 `salting-out' 효과뿐만 아니라 electrostatic 가교 및 금속이온의 반응성에 의해 좌우되는 것으로 사료되었다. 투과증발실험을 통한 투과도면에서는 물-에탄올 용액에 대해 PVA/SSA-Na+막에서 최소치를 보였다가 PVA/SSA-K+막에서 다시 증가하는 결과를 얻은 반면에 선택도는 반대의 경향을 얻었다. 대표적 분리 결과는 50℃에서 90%에탄올 수용액에 대하여 투과도는 59 g/m2hr, 선택도는 44의 값을 얻었다. 물-메탄올 용액에 대해서는 1가이온의 경우 에탄올 용액과 같은 경향의 결과를 얻었으나 2가 및 3가 이온의 경우 팽윤도 실험 결과와 마찬가지로 `salting-out' 효과 그리고 electrostatic 가교 등에 의해 영향을 받는다고 할 수 있다.O10 ) 구조 (A-type: 14/mmm, a=3.8178 Å, c=29.9189 Å, V=436.04 Å3, B-type: 142 m, a =3.8376 Å, c=28.023 Å, V=412.6 Å3)가 존재함을 확인하였으나 다른 시료에서는 토소나이트, 금홍석 외에 새로운 합성광물로 제파이트의 존재를 확인하였다.형별 미시적 광물상과 혼성격자 구조형의 특징에 별다른 연계성이 없는 것으로 나타났다.X>-GeO2계 유리미립자들의 고밀화가 시작되는 온도를 각각 1224℃, 1151℃, 953℃, 1130℃에서 관찰하였다. 고농도 cisplatin을 투여할 수 있었으며, 또한 분리 폐 관류 시 cisplatin에 의한 직접적 폐 독성은 발견되지 않았다이 낮았으나 통계학적 의의는 없었다[10.0%(4/40) : 8.2%(20/244), p>0.05]. 결론: 비디오흉강경술에서 재발을 낮추기 위해 수술시 폐야 전체를 관찰하여 존재하는 폐기포를 놓치지 않는 것이 중요하며, 폐기포를 확인하지 못한 경우와 이차성 자연기흉에 대해서는 흉막유착술에 더 세심한 주의가 필요하다는 것을 확인하였다. 비디오흉강경수술은 통증이 적고, 입원기간이 짧고, 사회로의 복귀가 빠르며, 고위험군에 적용할 수 있고, 무엇보다도 미용상의 이점이 크다는 면에서 자연기흉에 대해 유용한 치료방법임에는 틀림이 없으나 개흉술에 비해 재발율이 높고 비용이 비싸다는 문제가 제기되고 있는 만큼 더 세심한 주의와 장기 추적관찰이 필요하리라 사료된다.전 도부타민 심초음파는 관

Ash ball 배지의 이화학적특성과 사용배지의 염류집적 및 제거효과를 펄라이트 및 입상암면과 비교하였다. ash ball의 가비중, 진비중, 공극율은 각각 0.93 g.cm-3, 2.29 g.cm-3, 40.6%, 59.4%로서 그중 가비중은 펄라이트 및 입상암면에 비해 현저히 높았고 가공율은 낮았다. 배지의 포화수분함량(saturation moisture capacity)은 ash ball이 52%, 펄라이트가 71%, 입상암면이 90%로 나타났고, 배수 1시간 후 수분율은 ahs ball이가 21%, 펄라이트가 27%, 입상암면이 80%로 낮아졌다. Ash ball의 입도별 수분율은 소립(3~5 mm)이 대립 (7~15mm)에 비해 5% 정도 높았다. Ash ball의 배드내 수분율은 수직 및 수평방향의 분포가 균일하여 수분확산성이 좋은 것으로 나타났다. ash ball의 pH는 7.6으로 약염기성을 나타내었다. 배지를 침지한 배양액의 pH는 7.6으로 약염기성을 나타내었다. 배지를 침지한 배양액의 pH는 다소 증가하는 경향을 보였으며 EC는 거의 변호가 없었으며, 배지내 무기이온의 흡착은 ash ball과 입상암면은 인산의 흡착이 비교적 많았다. 토마토 재배에 사용된 ash ball의 염류집적은 펄라이트와 비슷하였고 8회 정도의 침수처리로 배지표면에 흡착된 무기염을 대부분 제거할 수 있었다. 위의 결과로부터, ash ball 배지는 보수력은 다소 낮지만 통기성 및 수분확산성이 우수하여 배지내의 수분조절이 용이한 배지임을 알 수 있었다.

This study was attempt to improve the quality of rapid- and low salt-fermented liquefaction of sardine (Sardinops melanoslicta). Effect of pretreatment methods such as water adding, heating, and intermittent NaCl adding on fermented liquefaction of chopped whole sardine were investigated. The divisions of the experimental samples by pretreatment methods were as follows; Sample A (water adding and heating): chopped whole sardine adding 20% water and then adding 3 and 5% NaCl consecutively at the intervals of 3 and 6 hrs during heating for 9 hrs at 50℃ and then fermented at 33℃ for 90 days. Sample B (preheating): chopped whole sardine with 8% NaCl and heating at 50℃ for 9 hrs and then fermented at 33℃ for 90 days. Sample C (control): neither pretreatment methods of water adding nor preheating on chopped whole sardine with 13% NaCl and then fermented at 33℃ for 90 days. Comparison of the appropriate fermentation period, yield of hydrolysate, chemical composition of fermented liquefied products were carried out. The highest content of amino nitrogen appeared at 60 days in the sample A, 75 days in the sample B, and 90 days in the sample C during the fermentation period. The appropriate fermentation period of the sample A was shorten 15 days than the sample B and 30 days than the sample C in the processing of sardine. The product A was lower NaCl (8.5%) and lower histamine content (25mg/100g) than the sample B and C. Possibly, three kinds of pretreatment methods such as water adding, heating, and intermittent NaCl adding, might be recommend as the processing of rapid- and low salt-fermented liquefaction product of chopped whole sardine.

This study aimed to analyze the growth and physical responsees of Dracaena braunii in response salt accumulation in ornamental water culture and to examine the effect of activated carbon on this growth response. The experiment was conducted in a plant growth chamber and the indoor environmental conditions of the chamber were set at 23 ± 1℃ temperature, 70 ± 3% humidity, and 1,000 lux brightness. The observation of the growth response of plants in the presence of activated carbon showed that the pH with activated carbon maintained sub-acidic to neutral (6.27∼7.32) conditions and showed decreased electric conductivity in the media. As the treatment with added activated carbon showed good growth and physical responses, this indicated that absorption effect of activated carbon had a positive influence on the growth of plants. However, as the absorption effect of activated carbon may decrease over time and the use of high concentrations of activated carbon might cause nutrition shortage, various concentration of activated carbon and their absorption effects need to be investigated in the future.
