This study focused on application of various $CO_2$ philic adsorbents with amine to improve $CO_2$ uptake in mortar. TGA, phenolphthalein method, FT-IR XRD, and FE-SEM analysis methods were used to evaluate $CO_2$ capture in mortar. When $CO_2$ philic adsorbents was used, $CO_2$absorption efficiency was improved maximum of 58.5%. Carbonation depth was increased 3 times compared with original mortar. Chemical reactions between bicarbonate ion, $CO_2$, $CO_2$ philic adsorbents aqueous solution, and $Ca^{2+}$ ions dissolved from cement formed $CaCO_3$ in the mortar. Therefore, impregnation of the $CO_2$ philic adsorbent on the surface of the mortar can increase the adsorbed $CO_2$.

In order to improve the efficiency of methane steam reforming process, a part of the system which produces hydrogen from heavy hydrocarbon resources such as coal, we combined metal catalyst with CaO sorbent and fabricated catalyst/sorbent. To increase the porosity and the compressive strength of sorbent, carbon black and ${\alpha}-alumina$ were mixed with CaO powder during preparation. The effects of sorbent composition on the physical properties were investigated by SEM, TGA, BET, XRD, abrasion strength measuring device and adsorption-desorption instrument. Sorbent with 5 wt％ $Al_2O_3$ and 10 wt％ carbon black showed the best physical features with $7.61kg_f$ strength and 47％ $CO_2$ adsorption capability. Various metal catalysts such as Ni, Co and Fe were supported on the sorbent developed and 10 wt％ Ni/sorbent was selected for methane steam reforming process based on the result of reaction experiment. The reaction system using the catalyst/sorbent showed better $H_2$ productivity compared to the detached system with catalyst and sorbent, indicating the effectiveness of the system developed in this study.

본 연구에서는 매립지에서 발생하는 주요한 가스인 $CO_2$(47~55%)와 $CH_4$(47~55%)가스를 분리하기 위하여 여러 $CO_2$ capture 방법 중 Zeolite를 사용한 흡착법을 이용하였다. 국내에서 시판되고 있는 powder형 Zeolite 13X에 Inorganic binder와 organic binder를 최적의 비율로 혼합한 후 증류수를 이용하여 Pellet type 흡착제를 제조하였다. 또한 최종적으로 $CO_2$의 흡착능을 높이기 위하여 양이온(1M의 KCl, NaCl, $CaCl_2$, $LiCl_2$)으로 이온교환을 하였다. 매립지 모사가스($CO_2$:40%, $CH_4$:60%)를 이용하여 실시간 분석기(Delta1600S)를 이용 두 가스의 분리와 $CO_2$ 흡착성능(mg-CO2/g-흡착제)을 확인하였다. 개발된 흡착제(AjouEpl 13X)는 ICP, XRD, XRF, BET 분석으로 제올라이트의 구조와 성분을 분석하였다.

석탄, 폐기물 등 다양한 시료의 가스화 반응을 통해서 발생되는 합성가스는 CO, $H_2$, $CO_2$가 주성분으로 가스엔진, 가스터빈 등의 연료로 사용하여 발전하거나 합성반응을 통해 다양한 화학원료로의 전환이 가능하다. 합성가스를 가스엔진, 가스터빈, 연료전지등의 연료로 사용하는 경우는 고효율 발전이 가능하여 기존 연소방식의 발전과 비교하여 단위 전력 생산량 당 $CO_2$의 배출량이 감소 되며, 여기에 $CO_2$ 분리공정을 적용하면 $CO_2$ 배출량 감소효과를 극대화 할 수 있다. 화석연료의 연소 및 가스화 반응을 통해서 발생하는 이산화탄소의 분리에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있으나, 본 연구에서는 흡착방식을 이용한 합성가스 내의 이산화탄소 분리를 위하여 흡착제를 이용한 이산화탄소의 흡착, 탈착 성능 분석 연구를 수행하였다. 합성가스내의 이산화탄소를 분리하기 위한 흡착제로는 NaX 계열의 zeolite를 이용하였으며, 가스화 반응을 통해 발생한 합성가스를 흡착제에 통과시켜 이산화탄소의 선택적 흡착 여부를 확인하였다. 또한 TPD(Temperature Programmed Desorption)방법을 이용하여 흡착제의 이산화탄소 흡착 성능을 분석하였다.

This review has shown the capability of MOFs and ZIFs materials to adsorb $CO_2$ under typical PSA temperatures and pressures. The usual operating conditions are adsorption temperatures of $15{\sim}40^{\circ}C$ and adsorption pressures of 4~6 bar based on numerous PSA processes which are widely employed in gases industry for adsorptive separation of $CO_2$. The extent of $CO_2$ adsorption on the microporous materials depends on the metal species and organic linkers existing in the frameworks. The pore size and the surface area, and the process variables are the key parameters to be associated with the efficiency of the adsorbents, particularly adsorption pressures if other variables are comparable each other. The MOFs and ZIFs materials require high pressures greater than 15 bar to yield significant $CO_2$ uptakes. They possess a $CO_2$ adsorption capacity which is very similar to or less than that of conventional benchmark adsorbents such as zeolites and activated carbons. Consequently, those materials have been much less cost-effective for adsorptive $CO_2$ separation to date because of very high production price and the absence of commercially-proven PSA processes using such new adsorbents.

Hydrocarbon gases generated from the gasification of waste could be converted into $CO_2$ and $H_2$ using reforming catalysts and then $CO_2$ was selectively adsorbed and removed to obtain pure hydrogen. To optimize adsorption efficiency for $CO_2$ removal, $Na_2CO_3$ was supported on nanoporous alumina and the efficiency was compared with commercial alumina(Degussa). Nanoporous adsorbents formed more uniform pores and larger surface area compared to adsorbents using commercial alumina. The increase of $Na_2CO_3$ loading improved adsorption of $CO_2$. Finally, the highest adsorption capacity per unit mass of $Na_2CO_3$ could be achieved when the loading of $Na_2CO_3$ reached up to 20wt%. When the content of $Na_2CO_3$ increased above 20 wt%, it aggregated on the surface, and the pore volume was decreased. Used adsorbents could be recycled by the thermal treatment.

넓은 표면적을 갖는 탄소나노튜브(CNT)는 기체 분자의 흡착 성능이 기존의 다른 흡착제에 비해 우수한 것으로 알려져 있으나, CNT의 물리/화학적 성질은 튜브의 직경과 기하 구조에 의해 큰 차이를 나타내며 정제가 매우 까다롭다는 단점을 가지고 있다. CNT와 외형적으로 매우 흡사한 질화붕소 나노튜브(BNNT)의 경우, 구조와 직경에 상관없이 열적, 화학적 안정성이 우수하여 $CO_2$를 비롯한 다른 공해 물질들의 제거제나 흡착제로서 응용 가능성이 매우 높다. 본 연구진은, BN-결함을 도입한 BNNT 벽면에서의 $CO_2$ 흡착 반응과 $CO_2$를 에너지 물질인 HCOOH와 $H_2CO_3$로 전환하는 반응에 대한 양자화학 이론 계산 연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과, $CO_2$에 대한 $B_N$-BNNT 흡착 성능이 튜브의 직경에 상관없이 매우 우수하였고, $B_N$-BNNT 벽면상에 흡착된 $CO_2$가 물 분자와 반응할 경우 HCOOH와 $H_2CO_3$로의 전환반응이 효과적으로 진행되었다. 이러한 이론 계산 연구 결과는 BN-BNNT가 $CO_2$ 흡착제 및 에너지 전환 촉매로의 응용 가능성을 훌륭히 제시하고 있다.

In this study, $CO_2$ adsorbent was developed for removing low concentration of $CO_2$ in multiple-use facilities. The efficiency of the adsorbent which was improved selective $CO_2$ adsorption capabilities was evaluated. The pellet type adsorbent was modified from a commercial zeolite with mixing LiOH, binder, additives, and $H_2O$. Column tests showed over 90 % of $CO_2$ was adsorbed within 400min. Chamber tests including batch and continuous types were performed for evaluating the adsorbent module. By batch tests, it was evaluated that about 92% of $CO_2$ was removed within 30 min. By continuous tests, 70% of $CO_2$ was removed within 30 min. It was analyzed that over 2,500 ppm of $CO_2$ was continuously removed as shown chamber tests. The reproducibility tests repeatedly performed for 15 days shows that over 1,000 ppm of $CO_2$ was continuously removed. Adsorption capacity of the developed adsorbent was 5.0mmol $CO_2/g$ adsorbent which was analyzed by TGA. It was estimated that the modified adsorbent was applicable to low $CO_2$ concentration and low temperature of indoor environment.

As the demand for fossil fuels continues to increase worldwide, carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentration in the air has increased over the centuries. The way to reduce CO₂ emissions to the atmosphere, carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology have been developed that can be applied to power plants and factories, which are primary emission sources. According to the climate change mitigation policy, direct air capture (DAC) in air, referred to as "negative emission" technology, has a low CO₂ concentration of 0.04%, so it is focused on adsorbent research, unlike conventional CCS technology. In the DAC field, chemical adsorbents using CO₂ absorption, solid absorbents, amine-functionalized materials, and ion exchange resins have been studied. Since the absorbent-based technology requires a high-temperature heat treatment process according to the absorbent regeneration, the membrane-based CO₂ capture system has a great potential Membrane-based system is also expected for indoor CO₂ ventilation systems and immediate CO₂ supply to smart farming systems. CO₂ capture efficiency should be improved through efficient process design and material performance improvement.
