Characteristics of hydrogen production from various food wastes in anaerobic batch reactors were evaluated to assess the energy potential of organic wastes. Organic wastes which were used in this study were scallion as vegetable, apple as fruit, rice as grain and pork as meat. Ultimate hydrogen yield of scallion, apple, rice and pork were 0.46, 0.47, 0.62 and $0.05mol\;H_2/mol\;hexose$, respectively. On the other hand, hydrogen production rates of scallion, apple, rice and pork were 0.013, 0.021, 0.014 and $0.005mol\;H_2/mol\;hexose/h$, respectively. These results indicated that anaerobic hydrogen fermentation from food waste except for meat was effective in removing organic material as well as producing renewable energy. Volatile fatty acids increased as hydraulic retention time was increased. In the hydrogen fermentation, acidification degree of rice was measured as the highest rate of 75.8% whereas pork was found as the lowest rate of 35.2%.

수소경제사회를 위한 수소인프라 구축에서 가장 중요한 부분이 현지설치형 수소스테이션이라고 하겠다. 이러한 수소스테이션은 일본, 미국, 유럽 등 선진각국에서 2015년에 상용화를 계획한 수소연료전지자동차의 보급에 필요불가결한 설비이므로 이들 지역을 중심으로 수요가 발생할 것으로 보인다. 선진국에서는 수소연료전지자동차의 경우 상용화가 이루어지면 2020년경 그 비율은 전체 자동차의 약 5% 수준을 점유할 것으로 보고 있다. 현재 국내에서도 정부주관으로 2015년부터 보급 목표로 수소연료전지차 모니터링연구가 수행되고 있다. 이에 따라 이미 외국 설비를 중심으로 수소스테이션 실증연구가 이루어졌으며, 각 기업체 및 연구기관에서 개질기, 고압압축기, 디스펜서 등 많은 요소기술 개발에 박차를 가하고 있으며, 이 결과로 향후 수소스테이션 국산화에 많은 기여를 할 것으로 사료된다. 아울러 이번 연구는 수소스테이션의 핵심부분인 수소스테이션용 제어로직을 개발하고 시뮬레이터를 제작한 결과에 대해 발표하고자 한다.

We investigated the effect of hydrogen ion beam on the formation of DLC thin film, which is deposited on the Si substrate with negative carbon ion by $Cs^+$ ion sputtering and positive hydrogen ion by Kauffmann type ion source. The amount of hydrogen in the DLC films increased as increasing hydrogen gas flow rate from 0 sccm to 12 sccm. As increasing hydrogen flow rate, $sp^2$bonding structure increased. The reason is that the hydrogen ions have relatively high energy, although total amount of hydrogen is very small compared with that of CVD process. These results suggest that the physical energy transfer plays a dominant role on the formation of DLC film.

This study is purposed to analyze thermodynamic properties on the hydrogen production by dimethyl ether steam reforming. Various reaction conditions of temperatures (300~1500 K), feed compositions (steam/carbon = 1~7), and pressures (1, 5, 10 atm) were applied to investigate the effects of the reaction conditions on the thermodynamic properties of dimethyl ether steam reforming. An endothermic steam reforming competed with an exothermic water gas shift reaction and an exothermic methanation within the applied reaction condition. Hydrogen production was initiated at the temperature of 400 K and the production rate was promoted at temperatures exceeding 550 K. An increase of steam to carbon ratio (S/C) in feed mixture over 1.5 resulted in the increase of the water gas shift reaction, which lowered the formation of carbon monoxide. The maximum hydrogen yield with minimizing loss of thermodynamic conversion efficiency was achieved at the reaction conditions of a temperature of 900 K and a steam to carbon ratio of 3.0.

Mg(1-4)Zn 이원계 압출재 및 Mg5Sn(1-4)Zn 삼원계 압출재의 부식거동을 3.5 % NaCl 용액에서 다양한 전기화학기법을 이용하여 평가하였다. 이원계 합금에 대한 연구결과, Zn 함량 증가에 따라 Mg 모재의 부동태화가 촉진되었고 동시에 수소발생속도가 증가하였으며 그 결과 부식전위의 상승이 관찰되었다. 그러나 Zn 함량 증가에 따른 부동태화 효과보다 수소발생 증가 효과가 우세하므로 결과적으로 Zn 함량 증가에 따라 부식속도는 증가하였다. Mg5Sn(1-4)Zn 삼원계 합금에 대한 부식시험 결과, Mg5Sn2Zn 합금이 가장 낮은 부식속도 및 우수한 부동태화를 나타내었으며 이는 합금원소 Sn의 수소발생속도 감소효과와 합금원소 Zn의 부동태화 효과의 상호작용에 의한 것으로 사료된다.

The effects of additives such as zinc compounds in 4M KOH electrolyte of Al-air cell have been studied. Zinc compounds in electrolyte increased hydrogen evolution overpotential and TPC(tripotasium citrate)/CaO formed fine film on aluminum surface, and these additives decreased hydrogen evolution rate and corrosion rate of aluminum. These additives shifted the OCP in the positive direction on high purity aluminum(purity, 99.999%) and in the negative direction on Al No 1050(purity,99.5%). Addition of two or more additives resulted in the prevention or the reduction of corrosion rate and hydrogen evolution at OCP. As the overpotential on Al electrode increased, the hydrogen evolution rate decreased and the utilization of aluminum increased. At high current density$(>100mA/cm^2)$, TPC/CaO/ZnO additives increased the utilization of high purity aluminum up to that of aluminum alloys containing indium, gallium and thallium.

Hydrogen in hydrogen-electric vehicles has a wide range of combustion and explosion ranges, and is a combustible gas with a very fast flame propagation speed, so it has the risk of leakage, diffusion, ignition, and explosion. The fuel tank has a Thermally active Pressure Relief Device (TPRD) to reduce the risk of explosion and other explosions, and in the event of an accident, hydrogen inside the tank is released outside before an explosion or fire occurs. However, if an accident occurs in a semi-closed space such as an underground parking lot, the flow of air flow is smaller than the open space, which can cause the concentration of hydrogen gas emitted from the TPRD to accumulate above the explosion limit. Therefore, in this study, the leakage rate and concentration of hydrogen over time were analyzed according to the diameter of the nozzle of the TPRD. The diameter of the nozzle was considered to be 1 mm, 2.5 mm and 5 mm, and ccording to the diameter of the nozzle, the concentration of hydrogen in the underground parking lot increases in a faster time with the diameter of the nozzle, and the maximum value is also analyzed to be larger with the diameter of the nozzle. In underground parking lots where air currents are stagnant, hydrogen concentrations above LFL (Lowe Flammability Limit) were analyzed to be distributed around the nozzle, and it was analyzed that they did not exceed UFL (Upper Flammability Limit).

Ascorbic acid(AsA) is unevenly distributed throughout all body cells and fluids. Multiactivities of AsA in many biological systems and in various scientific fields were reported. In this study we aimed to clarify the inhibitory action of high concentration of AsA on the cell growth in 3T6 fibroblasts. The cells wee exposed to AsA at various concentration. It showed that 3T6 fibroblasts wee dead by the medium which contained AsA at the concentration higher than 0.5 mM. AsA caused hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O$$_2$) generation in a concentration dependent manner. These results suggested that the $H_2O$$_2$ was formed in the medium by AsA and acted as a cytotoxic gent. Moreover, it is supposed that hydroxyl radical (.OH) induced from $H_2O$$_2$also acetd as actively cytotoxic agent. This lethal effect of AsA causing the cell death was inhibited by the addition of catalase in the medium. Therefore, addition of AsA at the normal concentrations stimulate cell growth, but excess concentrations of AsA induce cell death.

고전압 펄스 플라즈마를 액체 속에서 발생시켜 수소 스펙트럼의 광학적 특성을 연구하였다. 고전압 펄스 발생 장치인 막스 제네레이터는 용량이 $0.5{\mu}F$인 축전기 5개로 이루어져 있다. 각각의 축전기는 전원 장치를 이용하여 저항을 통해 병렬로 충전되며, 방전 시에는 불꽃 방전 스위치에 의해 동시에 직렬로 연결되어 고전압을 발생시킨다. 따라서, 출력 전압과 전류는 40kV, 3 kA이며 총 에너지는 약 125 J이다. 직육면체 모양의 폴리카보네이트 용기 내부의 양쪽면에는 탐침 모양의 전극이 구성되어 있으며 전극 사이에서 고전압을 가진 플라즈마가 형성된다. 실험에서 액체로는 증류수를 사용하였다. 액체 방전 시 발생하는 수소 스펙트럼을 관측하기 위해 초점거리 30 cm의 monochromator를 이용하였고, 수소 알파선의 656.3 nm와 수소 베타선의 434.1 nm를 관측하였다. 전자 밀도의 측정법으로는 Stark broadening법을 이용하여 측정하였으며, 전자 온도는 Stark profile의 상대적인 전자 밀도의 비를 이용하여 계산하였다. 전자밀도는 실험조건에서 약 $3{\times}10^{15}cm^{-3}$, 전자온도는 약 2.5 eV가 측정되었다.
