나노이산화티타늄은 인체에는 화장품, 의약, 식품분야 등에 쓰이고 외부 환경 재료에는 광촉매로서 유독가스 정화제, 옥내 외 항균, 수소발생 가시광 응답형 촉매 및 멤브레인 필터 등과 전자소재용 유전재료, 발광 재료 등 용도가 다양하다. 나노 산화티타늄 화합물의 제조법은 수열합성법, 기상법 등 여러 방법이 있다. 이들에 대한 리뷰의 목적은 2009년도 정부의 투자 계획 중에서 본제목에 관련되는 핵심 산업 재원 원천기술 개발, 태양광, 풍력 등의 신재생 에너지 개발, 록색 기술 개발을 통한 에너지절약형 LED 개발, 차세대 핵심환경 기술 개발, 핵심나노기반기술개발 등의 개발을 위하여 4,363억 원의 예산을 편성하고 연구자와 기술자들이 참여하여 유익한 실적이 창출되기를 원하고 있으므로 본 발표자들은 이 분야에서 연구하는 연구자와 기술자들에게 이 분야에 관련되는 자료를 참고로 제시하는데 있다. 페로브스카이트형 산화물인 유전재료($BaTiO_3$), 발광재료(CaTiO3:Pr3+적색), 박막형 반응기재료($Ca0.8Sr0.2TiO_3$), 등의 여러 가지 산화물은 류통식 급속 승온 수열 합성법, 겔 졸 법, 수열 합성법 등 여러 방법에 의하여 페로브스카이트형 산화물 입자 직경이 약 20nm~100nm 범위까지 합성된다. 태양광을 조사하여 물을분해 해서 수소를 생산하는 산화티타늄계 가시광 응답형 Vis-$TiO_2$ 박막은 기상법으로 제조하는데 한 예로써 RF 스퍼터링법으로 박막을 제조하여 수소와 산소를 회수하였으며, 황도프산화티타늄, 질소 도프 산화티타늄은 유기물 분해에 의한 공해제거, $NO_x$ 제거 등 환경정화에 사용되고, 고온 고압수법/산화티타늄 복합기술에 의해서는 바이오매스 분해 하고, 일종의 수열법인 개량형 HyCOM 법은 가시광 응답성 산화티타늄을 합성하여 NO가스 제거에 사용한다. 이들 여러 방법에 관한 것을 소개하고저 한다.

As global warming became a worldwide issue, a significant effort has been made on the development of technology related to $CO_2$ capture and storage. Geologic sequestration of $CO_2$ is one of those technologies for safe disposal of $CO_2$. Geologic sequestration stores $CO_2$ in the form of supercritical fluid into the underground site surrounded by solid rock, and concrete is used for prevention of $CO_2$ leakage into the atmosphere. In such case, concrete may experience severe damage by attack of supercritical $CO_2$, and especially in contact with underground water, very aggressive form of carbonation can occur. In this work, to prevent such deterioration in concrete, calcium phosphates were added to the portland cement to produce hydroxyapatite, one of the most stable mineral in the world. Temperature rise, viscosity, set and stiffening, and strength development of cement paste incorporating three different types of calcium phosphates were investigated. According to the results, it was found that the addition of calcium phosphate increased apparent viscosity, but decreased maximum temperature rise and 28 day compressive strength. It was found that monocalcium phosphate was found to be inappropriate for portland cement based material. Applicability of dicalcium and tricalcium phosphates for portland cement needs to be evaluated with further investigation, including the long term compressive strength development.

Kraft lignin is a by-product of the pulp and paper industry, obtained as a black liquor after the extraction of cellulose from wood through the Kraft pulping process. Right now, kraft lignin is utilized as a low-grade boiler fuel to provide heat and power but can be converted into high-calorific biofuels or high-value chemicals once the efficient catalytic depolymerization process is developed. In this work, the multi-functional catalyst of Ru-Mg-Al-oxide, which contains hydrogenation metals, acid, and base sites for the effective depolymerization of kraft lignin are prepared, and its lignin depolymerization efficiency is evaluated. In order to understand the role of different active sites in the lignin depolymerization, the three different catalysts of MgO, Mg-Al-oxide, and Ru-Mg-Al-oxide were synthesized, and their lignin depolymerization activity was compared in terms of the yield and the average molecular weight of bio-oil, as well as the yield of phenolic monomers contained in the bio-oil. Among the catalysts tested, the Ru-Mg-Al-oxide catalyst exhibited the highest yield of bio-oil and phenolic monomers due to the synergy between active sites. Furthermore, in order to maximize the extent of lignin depolymerization over the Ru-Mg-Al-oxide, the effects of reaction conditions (i.e., temperature, time, and catalyst loading amount) on the lignin depolymerization were investigated. Overall, the highest bio-oil yield of 72% and the 3.5 times higher yield of phenolic monomers than that without a catalyst were successfully achieved at 350 ℃ and 10% catalyst loading after 4 h reaction time.

Oil sands had not received enough attention due to high production cost. However, as oil price significantly increases, oil sands are receiving more and more interest as unconventional crude oil. The value and applicability of oil sands can be enhanced by upgrading oil sands bitumen to produce synthetic crude oil (SCO). This study analyzed 213 oil sands upgrading patents applied between 1969 and 2006 in US, Canada, Japan, Europe, and Korea. The upgrading technologies could be classified into 9 detailed technologies; hydrocracking, coking, thermal cracking, deasphalting, supercritical technology, bio-technology, hydrotreating, gasification, and others. The number of patents applied for oil sands upgrading increased after 1970, reached a maximum in the early 1980, and slowly increases again in recent years. Korea has a lack of technologies for oil sands. Therefore, the technologies for oil sands production and application, specially, upgrading technologies based on accumulated oil refinery technologies need to be developed to increase self-development ratio of energy resource.
