Ginkgo leaves are considered waste biomass and can cause problems due to the strong insecticidal actions of ginkgolide A, B, C, and J and bilobalide. However, Ginkgo leaf biomass has high organic matter content that can be converted into fuels and chemicals if suitable technologies can be developed. In this study, the effect of pyrolysis temperature, minimum fluidized velocity, and Ginkgo leaf size on product yields and product properties were systematically analyzed. Fast pyrolysis was conducted in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor at 400 to 550℃ using silica sand as a bed material. The yield of pyrolysis liquids ranged from 33.66 to 40.01 wt%. The CO₂ and CO contents were relatively high compared to light hydrocarbon gases because of decarboxylation and decarbonylation during pyrolysis. The CO content increased with the pyrolysis temperature while the CO₂ content decreased. When the experiment was conducted at 450℃ with a 3.0×U_mf fluidized velocity and a 0.43 to 0.71 mm particle size, the yield was 40.01 wt% and there was a heating value of 30.17 MJ/kg, respectively. The production of various phenol compounds and benzene derivatives in the bio-oil, which contains the high value products, was identified using GC-MS. This study demonstrated that fast pyrolysis is very robust and can be used for converting Ginkgo leaves into fuels and thus has the potential of becoming a method for waste recycling.

레이저를 steel 표면에 조사하면, steel은 레이저의 복사 에너지를 홉수하여 급격히 가열되어 온도가 증가한다. 이때 steel에서는 phase explosion이 발생하고 shock wave와 플라즈마가 생성된다. 본 연구에서는 이 steel의 후면에 고폭화약을 접해 놓고 레이저 가열에 의한 화약의 점화 현상을 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 heat diffusion equation과 chemical heat release를 사용하였고, 고에너지 물질의 열분해 반응을 위해 3 step global kinetics를 사용하였다. 또한, 계산된 결과는 실험 결과와의 비교를 통해 검증 되었다.

The thermal decomposition of waste energetic materials such as TNT, RDX and composition B in a commercial rotary kiln has previously been carried out. As part of the demilitarization process, the thermal decomposition of homogeneous double base propellant (DB) used in M8 and consisting predominantly of nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine is examined with respect to a number of operating conditions. A single condensed phase reaction with 4 species and 365 gas phase reactions and 59 species are considered. Simulation results show the sensitivity of the thermal decomposition of DB with temperature and velocity. At relatively low velocity with constant inlet hot air temperature, temperature in the rotary kiln was found to be highest, 953 K and 1300 K for cases 3 and 6 respectively. Illustrating that optimum operating temperature can be achieved by controlling the inlet velocity without additional cooling systems.

Pyrolytic reaction study of dichloromethane ($CH_{2}Cl_{2}$) in excess hydrogen was performed to investigate pyrolytic reaction pathways at a pressure of 1 atm with residence times of 0.3~2.0 sec in the temperature range of $525{\sim}900^{\circ}C$. A constant feed molar ratio $CH_{2}Cl_{2}$:$H_{2}$ of 4:96 was maintained through the experiment. Reagent loss and product formation were monitored by using an on-line gas chromatograph, where batch samples were analyzed by GC/MS. Complete destruction(99%) of the parent reagent was observed at temperature near $780^{\circ}C$ with residence time over 1 sec. Major products observed were $CH_{3}Cl$, $CH_{4}$, $C_{2}H_{4}$, $C_{2}H_{6}$, and HCl. Minor products included $CHClCCl_{2}$, CHClCHCl, $CH_{2}CHCl$, and $C_{2}H_{2}$. The pyrolytic reaction pathways to describe the important features of intermediate product distributions and reagent loss, based upon thermodynamic and kinetic principles, were suggested. The results of this work provided a better understanding of pyrolytic decomposition processes which occur during the pyrolysis of $CH_{2}Cl_{2}$ and similar chlorinated methanes.

Hemicellulose, consisteing of pentose as xylose and mannose, is usable as high octane fuels and heavy oil additives if depolymerized to monomer unit. In this study, thermochemical degradation by pyrolysis-liquefaction of hemicellulose, the effects of reaction temperature, conversion yield, degradation properties and degradation products were investigated. Experiments were performed in a tube reactor by varying reaction temperatures from $200^{\circ}C$ to $400^{\circ}C$ at 40 min of reaction time. The liquid products from pyrolysis-liquefaction of hemicellulose contained various kinds of ketones. Ketones, as 2,3-dimethyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one, 2,3,4-trimethyl-2-cyclopentan-1-one, and 2-methyl-cyclopentanone, could be used as high-octane-value fuels and fuel additives. However, phenols are not valuable as fuels. Combustion heating value of liquid products obtained from thermochemical conversion processes of hemicellulose was in the range of 6,680~7,170 cal/g. After 40 min of reaction at $400^{\circ}C$ in pyrolysis-liquefaction of hemicellulose, the energy yield and mass yield were as high as 72.2% and 41.2 g oil/100 g raw material, respectively.

When the multi-stage combustion process is applied to the cement kiln to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions in the cement industry, oxidation/reduction section that can increase combustion efficiency by reducing NO_x to NO and completely burning unburned materials is essential In this study, when applied the oxidation/reduction system of the cement kiln preheater and calciner, the optimal oxidation/reduction calcination crisis that can secure the quality stability of the final product, cement clinker, was to be observed macroscopically, and the mass change of raw materials according to the burning conditions, decarbonation rate, and calcination rate were investigated. The results showed that the thermal decomposition of raw materials tends to be promoted in the oxidation condition rather than in the reduction condition, and that the thermal decomposition of limestone, which has a relatively high CaO content, is carried out later than that of cement raw meal, which is thought to be caused by the CO₂ fractionation in the kiln. The thermal decomposition properties of raw materials according to oxidation/reducing burning condition showed a relatively large difference in temperature range lower than normal limestone themal decomposition temperature, which is thought to be expected to improve the thermal efficiency of raw materials according to the formation of oxidation condition in the section 750℃ of burning temperature. However, for this study, lab scale. Because there is a difference from the field process as a scale study, it is deemed necessary to verify the actual test results of the pilot scale.

Biochar (BC) from biomass pyrolysis is a carbonaceous material that has been used to remove various contaminants in the environment. The eliminatory action for burcucumber (Sicyos angulatus L.) as an invasive plant is being consistently carried out because of its harmfulness and ecosystem disturbance. In this study, burcucumber biomass was converted into BCs at different pyrolysis temperatures of 300 and $700^{\circ}C$ under a limited oxygen condition. Produced BCs were characterized and investigated to ensure its efficiency on antibiotics' removal in water. The adsorption experiment was performed using two different types of antibiotics, tetracycline (TC) and sulfamethazine (SMZ). For the BC pyrolyzed at a high temperature ($700^{\circ}C$), the values of pH, electrical conductivity, and the contents of ash and carbon increased whereas the yield, mobile matter, molar ratios of H/C and O/C, and functional groups decreased. Results showed that the efficiency of BCs on antibiotics' removal increased as pyrolysis temperature increased from 300 to $700^{\circ}C$ (38 to 99% for TC and 6 to 35% for SMZ). The reaction of ${\pi}-{\pi}$ EDA (electron-donor-acceptor) might be involved in antibiotics' adsorption to BCs. BC has potential to be a superior antibiotics' adsorbent with environmental benefit by recycling of waste/invasive biomass.

미사일 추력기 체계에 적용되는 하이드라진[$N_2H_4$]추진제는 MSDS-OHS 유해성 분류상 급성독성 물질로서 사용이 제한되고 있는 바, 다양한 대체물질이 개발 중이다. 최근 해외에서 안전성과 취급이 우수한 질산 히드록실암모늄[$NH_3OHNO_3$]과 암모늄 디나이트라마이드[$NH_4N(NO_2)_2$] 기반 단일계 액상추진제가 개발중이며, 이 물질들을 이용한 추력기 시스템 적용 시험이 진행되고 있다. 그러나 저온에서의 연로물질 산성화 반응으로 인한 디나이트라마이드[$N(NO_2)_2{^-}$] 물질의 분해는 나이트레이트[$NO_3{^-}$] 이온 생성을 촉진시키며, 부수적으로 발생하는 침전물은 촉매 및 노즐의 막힘 현상을 유발하므로 추력기 성능의 저해요인으로 작용한다. 그러므로 저온분해 방지를 위한 첨가제 조성 개발 및 열분해 특성 연구가 최근의 관심사이다. 본 연구는 합성/정제/추출한 암모늄 디나이트라마이드 산화제를 주요 조성물로 적용하였으며, 염기성 안정화제를 질량비율 4~5% 첨가하여 산성화 반응을 억제시킨 단일계 액상추진제(KMP) 형태로 제조하였다. 합성한 추진제는 시차주사열량계(DSC)를 이용하여 분해온도를 측정하여 열안정성을 평가해보았다.

범용 엔지니어링 플라스틱(Engineering plastic)인 PET(Polyethylene terephthalate)수지는 투명성, 강도특성, 내열특성, 기체차단성 등 물성이 우수하여 합성섬유, 이축연신 film, 식음료용 bottle 등의 용도로 널리 사용되는 적용범위가 매우 넓은 고분자 소재이다. 그러나 폐기된 PET 수지를 물질재활용(material recycling) 방법으로 재가공할 경우 수지 자체가 갖는 가수분해(hydrolysis)와 열분해(thermal degradation) 특성으로 인해 가공성 및 기계적 특성이 현저히 저하되는 단점이 있다.(중략)
