Abstract:
Provided is a method of measuring a change in the density of an underground material. To measure the change in the density of the underground material, a borehole is installed above a target underground material and a first gravimeter and a second gravimeter are installed outside and inside of the borehole, respectively. Sequentially, a change in the density of the target underground material is calculated based on a first gravitational change and a second gravitational change measured using the first gravimeter and the second gravimeter. According to the method, it is possible to precisely measure the change in the density of the target underground material, such as an oil, a gas, etc., stored in an underground reservoir and carbon dioxide injected into an underground storage.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of concentrating and recovering precious metals from waste mobile phone PCBs and spent automotive catalysts using waste nonferrous slag, in which precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium or rhodium can be concentrated and recovered by simultaneously treating different industrial wastes, including waste nonferrous slag, waste mobile phone PCBs and spent automotive catalysts, and industrial waste can be recycled as resources. According to the present invention, it is possible to maximize the utilization ratio of precious metal resources that totally depend on the import in terms of the domestic situation of a poor-natural resources country. In addition, the industrial waste can widely be utilized for the recovery of precious metals in the fields of household appliance recycling and electronic part manufacture, and the recycling of industrial by-products discharged in the field of non-ferrous refinery.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a magnetite-birnessite mixture, to a synthesis method therefor, and to a water-treatment method using the same. The magnetite-birnessite mixture synthesis method according to the present invention includes: a first synthesis step in which magnetite is synthesized; a second synthesis step in which manganese is made to adsorb onto the surface of the magnetite by supplying manganese while maintaining a basic state in the presence of the magnetite, and then synthesizing birnessite on the surface of the magnetite by supplying an oxidizing agent and sodium, thereby synthesizing a mixture in which magnetite and birnessite are bound together; and a purification step in which the mixture of magnetite and birnessite is purified.

Also, provided is(are) an installing method of the measuring apparatus with the AE sensor, and a set of the measuring apparatus with the AE sensor.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a geological CO2 storage system that allows geological storage and management of CO2. A geological CO2 storage for storing CO2 stored in a plurality of storage tanks in a predetermined geologic formation, and a CO2 concentration detector disposed in an unsaturated zone located below a ground surface corresponding to the geologic formation where CO2 is stored detects a concentration of CO2 in the unsaturated zone. The geological CO2 storage includes a manifold section for introducing CO2, a distribution chamber communicating with the manifold section and an outlet side connected to an injection pipe extending toward the geologic formation so that the CO2 introduced through the manifold section is supplied to the injection pipe, a temperature regulator for regulating temperature of CO2 introduced into the distribution chamber, and a flux/pressure regulator for regulating a flux and a pressure of the CO2 to be geologically injected through the distribution chamber.
Abstract:
Provided is an oxidation pond for treating acid mine drainage discharged from an abandoned mine. The oxidation pond comprises: an inlet into which mine drainage is introduced; a retention pond in which the mine drainage introduced into the inlet resides; and an outlet through which the mine drainage is discharged from the retention pond, so that iron in the mine drainage is oxidized and precipitated during residence of the mine drainage in the retention pond, wherein a neutralizing agent that increases the pH of the mine drainage to accelerate the iron precipitation reaction is placed in the retention pond.
