  • Patent number: 10968141
    Abstract: Provided are a concrete manufacturing method capable of preventing neutralization of concrete and oxidation of a reinforcing rod in reinforced concrete, and a method for manufacturing a reinforced concrete structure using the same. The concrete manufacturing method uses nitrogen dissolved water and is characterized by including: a step of generating nitrogen dissolved water by injecting nitrogen gas into water to replace oxygen and carbon dioxide dissolved in the water with nitrogen; and a step of generating a ready-mixed concrete by kneading the nitrogen dissolved water, cement, an aggregate, and an admixture. The method for manufacturing a reinforced concrete structure is characterized by forming a reinforced concrete structure using a ready-mixed concrete manufactured by a concrete manufacturing method using nitrogen dissolved water.

  • Patent number: 8956542
    Abstract: The present invention provides an efficient and low cost method for processing radioactively-contaminated water. The method for processing radioactively-contaminated water comprising a freeze concentration step of generating ice having lowered concentration of radioactive substance from radioactive substance containing contaminated water and concentrating the radioactive substances in the residual contaminated water by the interface progressive freeze concentration process. Preferably, the method further comprises a nitrogen substitution step of reducing dissolved oxygen in the contaminated water and adding nitrogen gas to the contaminated water, as a previous step of the freeze concentration step. Preferably, the radioactive substance is radioactive cesium.
