Characteristics of photocatalytic CO removal process conducting CO conversion by using Pt loaded $TiO_2$ photocatalyst were investigated in a photocatalytic tubular reactor. Effects of Pt loading method onto $TiO_2$, linear velocity of gas stream containing CO gas, CO concentration and moisture content in the gas stream on the conversion of CO to $CO_2$ were examined. It was found that the CO gas could be removed almost 100% by using photocatalytic tubular reactor internally coated with Pt/$TiO_2$ photocatalyst under UV irradiation, when the linear velocity of gas stream was in the range of 0.01~0.25 m/s and CO concentration in the gas stream was ranged from 20 to 100 ppm and the relative humidity of the gas stream was in the range of 20~40%. The conversion of CO gas decreased gradually with increasing linear velocity of gas stream and CO concentration in the gas stream. The moisture in the gas stream could promote the removal of CO gas by means of the generation of OHradicals.

As one of the $CO_2$ reduction strategies, a biological method was proposed to convert $CO_2$ to useful biomass with antioxidant carotenoids by photosynthetic microorganisms. One of the photoautotrophs, Haematococcus pluvialis is a freshwater green microalga and accumulates the secondary carotenoid astaxanthin during induction of green vegetative cells to red cyst cells. In this study, $CO_2$ fixation and astaxanthin production using H. pluvialis was conducted by photoautotrophic culture in the $CO_2$ supplemented photo-incubator. Maximum growth rate of H. pluvialis was obtained at a 5％ $CO_2$ environment on basic N and P conditions of NIES-C medium. The photoautotrophic induction consisted of 5％ $CO_2$ supply and high light illumination promoted astaxanthin synthesis in H. pluvialis, yielding an astaxanthin productivity of $9.6mg/L{\cdot}day$ and a $CO_2$ conversion rate of $27.8mg/L{\cdot}day$ to astaxanthin. From the results the sequential photoautotrophic culture and induction process using H. pluvialis is expecting an alternative $CO_2$ reduction technology with a function of valuable biosubstance production.

폐기물 등을 열분해 가스화한 합성가스로부터 효과적으로 고순도의 수소를 회수하기 위하여 WGS(수성가스전환반응) 및 $CO_2$ 회수 PSA 공정을 적용하였다. 벤치스케일 열교환형 WGS반응기를 개발하여 기존 단열방식에 비하여 단순화한 반응시스템을 구축하였으며 출구 CO농도 4%대를 달성하였다. 또한 3베드로 구성된 벤치스케일의 $CO_2$ PSA운전을 수행한 결과, 2.5barg 흡착 및 진공재생단계를 적용하여 회수되는 $CO_2$의 농도가 95%이상, 회수율 80%이상을 기록하는 효율적인 $CO_2$ 회수공정을 개발하였다. 한편, 흡탈착 모사프로그램인 ADSIM을 통해서도 실험과 비교적 일치한 결과를 얻을 수 있었는데 향후 스케일업 설계자료 확보시 유용할 것으로 판단되었다.

폐자동차의 최종처분 과정에서 발생하는 자동차 파쇄 폐기물(Automobile Shredder Dust)은 대부분이 고분자 화합물로 높은 발열량을 가지고 있다. 또한 할로겐족 원소가 포함된 난연성 고분자류가 많아 다이옥신의 생성 우려가 높은 고분자류와 다이옥신 생성의 촉매 역할을 할 수 있는 금속성분이 많이 함유되어 있어 가스화용융시스템에 적용하여 처리하기에 매우 적합한 폐기물이다. 본 연구에서는 ASR의 가스화 용융 시설에서 고농도 CO를 함유한 합성가스를 수성가스전환반응(Water Gas Shift reaction, WGS)을 이용하여 수소의 수율을 높이는 기술을 제시하였다. 가스화 용융 설비에서 배출되는 합성가스 조성을 기준으로 적합한 고정층 WGS 반응기를 설계하고, 고온 촉매(KATALCO 71-5M)와 저온 촉매(KATALCO 83-3X)를 사용하여 실험하였다. 수성가스 반응 후의 가스 조성은 온도가 상승할수록 일산화탄소가 줄어들고 이에 따라 수소와 이산화탄소 발생량이 증가 되어 고온 촉매를 사용했을 경우 일산화탄소 전환율 ($1-CO_{out}/CO_{in}$)은 55.6에서 95.8%까지 상승하였다. 동일한 온도조건에서는 촉매에 관계없이 $CO/H_2$가 감소할수록 전환율도 감소하는 경향을 보였지만 동일한 합성가스 조성에서 일산화탄소 전환율을 비교하면 저온 촉매가 고온 촉매보다 매우 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, the applicability of replacing DG(Desulfurized Gypsum) from oil refinery with CCCMs(Carbon dioxide Conversion Capture Materials) as an ALC(Auto-claved LIghtweight Concrete) raw material was examined, and basic properties of ALC was measured. The main chemical components of DG and CCCMs were CaO and SO₃, and an increase in LOI(Loss of ignition) due to mineral carbonation reaction was verified. The crystalline phases of CCCMs were CaCO₃, CaSO₄, Ca(OH)₂, and CaSO₄·2H₂O. When DG, a raw material for ALC production, was replaced with CCCMs, foaming height, pore shape, absolute dry gravity, and compressive strength results measured similar for all binders. In addition, the formation of tobermorite which is main crystalline phase of ALC was shown for all specimens in microstructural analysis.

A microbiological hydrogen production process was optimized. Anaerobic photosynthetic bacteria like Rhodospirillum rubrum which is known to produce hydrogen from carbon monoxide efficiently and remove sulfur was used. To evaluate the potenital of this microorganism the optimization of media fermentation condition light intensity and light requirement for CO conversionwas tried in batch cultures and the continuous fermenter was also applied for this process. The gas residence time on CO conversion was sought out to get high conversion of carbon monoxide to hydrogen. Through this study the possibility of microbial synthtics gas concersion process was proposed.

In order to lower a reaction temperature with high conversions for simultaneous catalytic reduction of NO and $N_2O$ over Pd-Rh supported mixed metal oxide honeycomb catalysts, $H_2$ or CO was utilized as a reductant. When using the reductants, the effects of reaction conditions were examined in NO and $N_2O$ conversions, where reaction temperatures, concentrations of the reductants and oxygen and the concentration ratio of $N_2O$ to NO were varied. In using $H_2$ reductant, larger than 50% of NO and $N_2O$ conversions was observed at the temperatures below $200^{\circ}C$ in absence of $O_2$. In using CO reductant, NO and $N_2O$ conversions increased from the temperatures higher than $200^{\circ}C$ and $300^{\circ}C$, respectively. However, in use of both reductants, NO and $N_2O$ conversions decreased with increasing oxygen concentration. As a result, $H_2$ reductant could reduce simultaneously NO and $N_2O$ at relatively lower reaction temperature than CO. Also, NO and $N_2O$ conversions were less influenced by using $H_2$ reductant than CO one. Concentration ratio between NO and $N_2O$ did not affect their conversions regardless the type of reductants. Pretreatment of the catalyst in $H_2$ was more effective in simultaneous reduction of NO and $N_2O$ at low reaction temperature than that in $O_2$.

본 연구에서는 일정선량(600kGy)에서 전자빔 에너지(0.7, 1, 2 MeV)를 달리하여 조사한 $Ni/g-Al_2O_3$ 촉매를 이용하여 세 가지 다른 종류의 합성가스 전환반응(메탄의 이산화탄소 개질반응, 메탄의 수증기 개질반응, 메탄의 부분산화반응)을 수행하였다. 전자빔 조사는 He 분위기, 실온에서 수행하였으며, 조사된 촉매의 표면상태 변화를 살펴보기 위하여 XRD, XPS 분석을 수행하였다. 고에너지 전자빔 처리된 $Ni/g-Al_2O_3$ 촉매의 표면 특성분석 결과 촉매 표면의 Ni종은 metallic Ni, NiO, $NiAl_2O_4$의 3가지 상태로 존재함을 알 수 있었으며, 전자빔 에너지 증가에 따라 촉매 표면의 전체적인 Ni 함량과 촉매 표면의 Ni 분산도를 나타내는 Ni/Al ratio가 증가하였다. 또한, 전자빔 에너지 증가에 따라 Ni에 결합된 산소가 더 크게 감소되어 표면에서 산소 vacancy가 증가하는 결과를 가져왔으며, 이는 결국 세 가지 Ni의 상태 중 metallic Ni과 $NiAl_2O_4$를 증가시켰다. 이러한 결과들은 메탄의 이산화탄소 개질 반응과 메탄의 수증기 개질반응에서 반응물($CH_4$, $CO_2$)의 전환율과 생성물(CO, $H_2$)의 수득율을 증가시켰으며 메탄의 부분산화반응은 반응의 특성상 메탄의 전환율은 증가하나 생성물인 CO, $H_2$는 오히려 감소하는 결과를 가져옴을 알 수 있었다.

This study investigated the conversion of oil products from polypropylene by using dispersed Co and Mo catalyst on reaction time and concentration change for knowledging liquefation characteristics at low-temperature (425, 450 and $475^{\circ}C$) pyrolysis in a batch reactor. The reaction time was set in 20~80 minutes and the oil products formed during pyrolysis were classfied into gas, gasoline, kero, diesel and heavy oil according to the domestic specification of petroleum products. The pyrolysis conversion rate was showed as Mo catalyst > Co catalyst > Thermal in all reaction time at reaction temperature $450^{\circ}C$. The conversion rate and yields of the pyrolysis products were the most height when Co and Mo Catalyst ratio was 50:50.
