In response to the recent increase in demand for hydrogen stations, the Ministry of Trade and Industry has enacted and promulgated special notifications to enable the installation of hydrogen stations in the form of the combined complex in existing automotive fuel supply facilities such as LPG, CNG, and gas stations. Hydrogen multi energy filling stations haven't been operated yet in Korea till the establishment of special standards, so it is necessary create special standards by considering all Korean environmental characteristics such as four seasons and daily crossings. In this study, we collected and analyzed the charging data of Ulsan LPG-Hydrogen Multi Fueling Station installed for the first time in Korea. The data are hourly temperature and pressure data from compressors, storage vessels and dispensers. We used the data collected for a year, including the highest temperature and the lowest temperature in Ulsan to compare seasonal characteristics. As a result, it was found that the change of the outside temperature affects the initial temperature of the vehicle's container of the hydrogen car, which finally affects the charging time and the charging speed of the vehicle. There was no effect on vehicle containers because the limit temperature suggested by the Korean Hydrogen Station Standard(KGS FP217) and the US Filling Protocol(SAE J2601) was not exceeded.

An accurate knowledge of the minimum oxygen concentration(MOC) is important in developing appropriate prevention and control measures in industrial fire protection. In this study, by using the literature data and RSM(response surface methodology), the new equations for predicting the MOC are proposed. The A.A.P.E.(average absolute percent error) and the A.A.D.(average absolute deviation) of the reported and the calculated MOC for hydrocarbons were $3.48\%\;and\;0.37\;vol\%$, respectively and the correlation coefficient was 0.919. The A.A.P.E and the A.A.D of the reported and the calculated MOC for halogenated hydrocarbons and hydrocarbons were $5.06\%$ and $0.59vo1\%$, and the correlation coefficient was 0.938. The values calculated by the proposed equations were in good agreement with the literature data. Therefore, it is expected that this proposed equations will support the use of the research for other flammable substances.

N-decane은 지방족탄화수소로 다른 탄환수소들과 같이 혼합된 형태로 존재하며 페인트 제거제나 드라이 크리닝 제품에 사용된다. 최근의 본 연구팀이 실시한 전자산업계의 MSDS 신뢰성조사 결과에 따르면 세정제의 사용 경향은 과거의 방향족 탄화수소나 CFC. HCFC에서 $C_{10}$이상의 지방족탄화수소 물질로 변화되고 있는 경향을 보여주었다. Stoddard solvent나 나프타 같은 탄화수소 혼합물에 대한 작업 환경노출기준은 설정되어있지만 n-decane에 대해서는 제한적인 독성자료 밖에 없으며 작업환경노출기준은 설정되어 있지 않다. 따라서 작업환경에 대한 적절한 관리기준제시와 독성학적 자료를 제공하기 위해 n-decane을 28일 반복 흡입독성시험을 실시하였다. 6주령 흰쥐로 체중이 229$\pm$10g되는 숫컷과 165$\pm$7g되는 암컷 흰쥐를 4개 용량군 즉 대조군, 저농도군(50ppm), 중농도군(200ppm), 고농도군(800ppm) (각군당 10마리)으로 설정하여 하루 6시간, 주5일로 4주간 흡입쳄버에서 노출시켰다. 28일간 노출 후 n-decane의 노출용량에 따른 암수의 체중에는 유의한 변화가 없었으며 유의한 혈액학적 생화학적 변화도 발견되지 않았다. 고농도로 노출된 수컷 몇 마리에서 고환 세정관에서의 공포화(vacuolization)가 발견되었으나, 간신장, 비장, 폐, 부신, 심장, 뇌 등 다른 장기에 대한 조직병리학적 검사에서는 뚜렷한 조직병리학적인 변화를 발견할 수 없었다.

Hydrogen energy is not only a solution to climate change problems caused by the use of fossil fuels, but also as an alternative source for the industrial power generation and automotive fuel. Among hydrogen production methods, electrolysis of water is considered to be one of the most efficient and practical methods. Compared to that of the fossil fuel production method, the method of producing hydrogen directly from water has no emission of methane and carbon dioxide, which are regarded as global environmental pollutants. In this paper, the alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) and polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE), which are one of the hydrogen production methods, were discussed. Recent research trends of hydrocarbon electrolyte membranes and the crossover phenomenon of electrolyte membranes were also described.

This study presents investigation on the technical characteristics and field cases of the salt cavern storage method for large-scale hydrogen storage. The salt cavern storage method enables effective hydrogen storage compared to other methods due to the low porosity and permeability of the rock salt that constitutes the cavern, which is not likely to leak and requires a small amount of cushion gas for operation. In addition, there is no chemical reaction between rock salt and hydrogen, and multiple injection/withdrawl cycles can be performed making it effective for peak shaving and short-term storage. The salt cavern is formed in three stages: leaching, debrining, and filling, and leakage tests are conducted to ensure stable operation. Field applications are currently performing to meet industrial demand in the surrounding area of four sites in the UK and Texas, USA, and salt cavern operation is being prepared for energy storage in European countries such as Germany and France. The investigated results in this study can be utilized as a basic guideline for the design of future hydrogen storage projects.

The phenomenon of abnormal climate conditions resulting from greenhouse gas-induced global warming is increasingly prevalent. To address this challenge, global initiatives are underway to adopt environmentally friendly, zero-emission fuels. In this study, we investigate the hydrogen embrittlement characteristics of materials used for eco-friendly hydrogen storage systems. The effects of hydrogen embrittlement on austenitic stainless steels of the FCC series and structural steel of the BCC series were examined. Initially, test samples of three different steel types were prepared in 2t and 3t sizes, and hydrogen was injected into the specimens using an electrochemical method over a 24-hour period. Subsequently, a universal material testing machine (UTM) was employed to monitor changes in mechanical strength and elongation. The FCC series stainless steels exhibited a tendency for elongation to decrease, indicating low sensitivity to hydrogen. In contrast, the mechanical strength and elongation of the BCC series steel changed significantly upon hydrogen charging, posing challenges for prediction. The results of the present study are expected to serve as a fundamental database for analyzing the impact of hydrogen embrittlement on both FCC and BCC series steel materials.

유기염소계 화합물들은 저렴한 가격과 우수한 세정력으로 기계, 금속, 섬유산업에서 뿐만아니라 일반적인 용제로도 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나, 현재 산업현장에서사용 후 처리에 있어 유기염소계 화합물들을 완전히 제거하지 못하고 방출하는 실정이다. 또한, 음용수제조시 행해지는 염소소득으로 미량의 트리할로메탄(THM)인 클로로포름이 생성된다. 이러한 유기염소계 화합물들은 음용수 중에 포함되어 체내로 흡수되면 암을 유발시킨다. 따라서 물중에 용해된 미량의 유기염소계 화합물들을 제거하는 것이 필수불가결한 실정이다.

일반적으로 탄화수소를 비롯해 가연성물질은 쉽게 연소하거나 폭발한다. 특히 가스는 공정에서 가연성물질을 취급에 있어 밸브의 조작실수, 배관접합부파손 등으로 인해 누출된 물질이 주위에 공기와 혼합하여 착화원에 의해 화재 및 폭발이 발생할 수도 있으며, 또한 유해물질 상태로 유출되어 인명에 피해를 주는 경우도 있다. 산업현장에서 화재 및 폭발의 위험을 최소화하기 위해서는 공정의 안전과 최적화 조작이 이루어 져야 하는데, 이를 위해 우선 작업 조건 하에서 취급물질의 연소 특성치 파악이 필요하다/sup 1)/.(중략)

A Kinetic model of desorption of hydrogen in $Dy_2Co_7-H$ system has been suggested and rate equation of each step of the model has been compared with experimental results. The reat controlling step was hydrogen recombination in metal surface. The activation energy of over-all reaction was about 23kcal/mole.
