지속가능한 발전과 저탄소 녹색성장의 개념이 대두되면서 우리나라를 비롯한 주요 선진국은 자국의 화석연료 의존도를 낮추고 대체에너지로 환경친화적이며, 청정에너지로 각광받는 신 재생에너지의 활용에 경제적, 정책적 지원을 아끼지 않고 있는 실정이다. 실제로 유럽에서는 바이오매스의 일종인 우드칩을 활용한 가정용 보일러가 보급되고 있으며, 동남아시아에서는 열대식물을 이용한 저온열분해를 활용하여 바이오디젤을 생산하고 있다. 우리나라의 경우 대부분의 바이오매스는 발생되는 임야에서 재이용되거나 경제성이 있을 경우에 운송되어 재활용되고 있으며, 임부목과 같은 일부 바이오매스는 수익성이 없어 발생현지에 방치되는 경우도 있다. 본 연구에서 주목한 왕겨의 경우 미곡종합처리장에서 대량으로 발생되지만 그 활용도에 있어서 축적된 바이오에너지에 비해 에너지회수율이 저조하다고 할 수 있다. 왕겨는 임야에서 발생되는 폐목재나 다른 바이오매스에 비해 함유되어 있는 수분이 적고(12%), 휘발분의 함량이 많으며(58%), 고정탄소(17%), 회분(13%)로 열분해/가스화에 적용가능하다. 본 실험에서 생산된 합성가스의 활용방법으로는 보일러를 이용한 스팀 및 전력생산, 가스엔진을 이용한 전력생산, 폐열회수 등이 있으며 생산된 합성가스를 활용하기 위해서는 오염물질의 정제특성에 대한 연구가 선행되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 합성가스 내에 존재하는 분진, 타르, HCl, HCN, $NH_3$의 제거효율을 조사하였다.

Korea classified into a development country when UNFCCC was concluded in 1995. So Korea doesn't have a GHG reduction duty until 2012. As the UNFCCC is strengthened, recently there is a growing interest in renewable energy and energy usage efficiency improvement for reducing GHG emission. It is associated with CES and renewable energy. CES is a total energy (heat, cooling and power)supplier in aggregated demand zone like a hotel, building, hospital and redevelopment district using CHP and it improves energy usage efficiency. At present, renewable energy is needed for GHG reduction duty but renewable energy doesn't have economic feasibility. So renewable energy is needed various support system to popularize which is a FIT and RPS. Especially RPS is carrying out instead of FIT in many advanced country and it will be inroduced in Korea. RPS is a duty which electricity service provider must guarantee renewable energy as much as specific ratio of total capacity. Therefore this study conducts an economic feasibility estimation of CES considering renewable energy when RPS will introduced in the future.

Though a fully thermally coupled distillation column-an energy efficient distillation system-consumes less energy, it is not widely implemented in practice due to its operational difficulty. A 3-column distillation system having improved operability is proposed here, and its energy saving performance and application related issues are investigated from the implementation result to a practical hexane process. When an energy integration is employed, the proposed system requires 18% less energy than a conventional 2-column system, which is found from the HYSYS simulation. Though more control loops than the 2-column system are required, the proposed system has better controllability of product compositions and the pressure control of the system is easier.

Reactivity of commercial WGS catalyst and four new catalysts(RMC-3, PC-73, PC-67SU, PC-59) manufactured with various compositions by Korea Electric Power Research Institute(KEPCO RI) were compared to select suitable WGS catalyst for SEWGS system. Steam/CO ratio, gas velocity, flow rates of syngas, and temperature were considered as operating variables. As a result, commercial catalyst showed the highest CO conversion and RMC-3 catalyst showed also high CO conversion. Therefore, commercial and RMC-3 catalysts were selected as applicable catalysts. However, PC-73 catalyst showed low CO conversion at low temperature($200^{\circ}C$) but showed good reactivity at high temperature($225{\sim}250^{\circ}C$), and therefore, PC-73 catalyst was selected as applicable catalyst for high temperature operation. Continuous operations up to 24 hours for those three catalysts(commercial, RMC-3, PC-73) were conducted to check reactivity decay of catalysts. All three catalysts maintained their original reactivity.

This study was carried out to improve the performance of pre-developed heat recovery devices attached to exhaust-gas flue connected to combustion chamber of greenhouse heating system. Four different units were compared in the aspect of heat recovery performance; A-, B-, and C-types are exactly the same with the old ones reported in previous studies. D-type newly developed in this experiment is mainly different with the old ones in its heat exchange area and tube thickness. But airflow direction(U-turn) and pipe arrangement are similar with previous three types. The results are summarized as follows; 1. System performances in the aspect of heat recovery efficiency were estimated as 42.2% for A-type, 40.6% for B-type, 54.4% for C-type, and 69.2% for D-type. 2. There was not significant improvement of heat recovering efficiency between two different airflow directions inside the heat exchange system. But considering current technical conditions, straight air flow pattern has more advantage than hair-pin How pattern (U-turn f1ow). 3. The main factors influencing on heat recovery efficiency were presumably verified to be the total area of heat exchange surface, the thickness of ail-flow pipes, and the convective heat transfer coefficient influenced by airflow velocity under the conditions of allowable pipe durability and safety. 4. Desirable blower capacity for each type of heat recovery units were significantly different to each other. Therefore, the optimum airflow capacity should be determined by considering in economic aspect of electricity required together with the optimum heat recovery performance of given heat recovery systems.

In this study, for the purpose of reduction of $CO_2$ gas emission and to increase recovery of waste heat from ships, the ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) is investigated and offered for the conversion of temperature heat to electricity from waste heat energy from ships. Simulation was performed with waste heat from the exhaust gasse which is relatively high temperature and cooling sea water which is relatively low temperature from ships. Various fluid is used for simulation of the ORC system with variable temperature and flow condition and efficiency of system and output power is compared. Finally, 2,400kW output power is obtained by system optimization of the preheater and reheater utilizing waste heat form sea water cooling system.

리튬이온 2차전지(Lithium ion battery, LIB)는 기존에 사용되던 전지에 비해 에너지 밀도가 높고 충방전 사이클이 우수하다. 이 때문에 휴대전화와 노트북 등에 수요가 급속하게 증가하고 있으며 1995년 LIB의 생산량은 4천만 개에서 2004년에는 약 8억 개로 20배 이상 증가하였다. 이에 따라 폐LIB도 급속하게 증가하게 되어 전국적인 재활용 시스템의 확보가 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 폐LIB에 함유되어 있는 유가금속 중에서 리튬코발트옥사이드(이하 $LiCoO_2$)를 회수하기 위하여 분쇄기(orient vertical cutting mill)와 진동 Screen을 사용하여 유기분리막, 금속류(Aluminium foil, Copper foil, case 등) 그리고 전극물질(lithium cobalt oxide와 graphite 등의 혼합 분말)로 분리하였다. 전극물질에서 $LiCoO_2$와 graphite 분리를 위한 전처리 단계로서 $500^{\circ}C$ 정도의 열처리를 하여 $LiCoO_2$의 표면 성질을 변화시켜 부유선별에 의해 $LiCoO_2$와 graphite의 분리가 가능하도록 하였다. 부유선별 실험 결과 93% 이상의 순도를 가지는 $LiCoO_2$를 92% 이상 회수할 수 있었다.

$SF_6$ (Sulfur hexafluoride) possesses high GWP (Global Warming Potential) as sepcified by the IPCC (Intergonvernmental Panel of Climate Change). Recently, the recovery-separtion of $SF_6$ research area, including permeation properties studies using various membrane's materials and the practical operation of recovery-separtion using membrane of waste $SF_6$ gas is in the initial state. The separation efficiency of a single $SF_6$ and waste $SF_6$ mixture was evaluated using a PSF (polysulfone), PC (tetra-bromo polycarbonate) and PI (polyimide) hollow fiber membranes. According to the results of single gases permeation properties, PI membrane has the highest permselectivity of $N_2$ gas in $N_2/SF_6$ gas. Under the condition of P=0.5 MPa, the highest concentration of recovered $SF_6$ is 95.6 vol % in the separation experiment of $SF_6/N_2$ mixture gas by PC membrane. Under the operation pressure of P=0.3 MPa at a fixed retentate flow rate fixed of 150 cc/min, the maximum recovery efficiency of $SF_6$ is up to 97.8% by PSF membrane. From the results above, it is thought that the separation and recovery technique of $SF_6$ gas using membrane will be used as the representative eco-technology in the $SF_6$ gas treatment in the future.
