The surface energy and the effect of functional groups on the surface of the ozone-treated low-density polyethylene (LDPE) film were studied. Treatment conditions were treatment time, total amount of transferred ozone, and ozone concentration. The introduction of polar groups on the surface of LDPE film after ozone treatment was confirmed by FTIR-ATR and XPS analyses. Surface fee energy of the LDPE film was examined by a contact angle method. The ozone treated-LDPE film showed a decreased water contact angles about 15$^{\circ}$ mainly due to the increased concentration of oxygen-containing functional groups, which was attributed to the increased surface free energy or $O_{IS}/C_{IS}$Also, the concentrations of the oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of LDPE film increased with ozone treatment time and concentration, whereas no significant effects were found for the total amount of transferred ozone. From the dyeability test using Kubelka-Munk equation, it was found that the ozone treatment plays an important role in the growth of oxygen-containing functional groups of LDPE film, resulting in the improvement of dyeability for basic dyeing agent.

Fossil fuel is used all over the world and it produces greenhouse gases due to fossil fuel use. Therefore, it cause global warming and is serious environmental pollution. In order to decrease the environmental pollution, we should use renewable energy which is clean energy. Among several renewable energy, wind energy is the most promising one. Wind power generation is does not produce environmental pollution and could not be exhausted. However, due to wind power generation has irregular power output, it is important to predict generated electrical energy accurately for smoothing wind energy supply. There, we consider use ramp characteristic to forecast accurate wind power output. The ramp increase and decrease rapidly wind power generation during in a short time. Therefore, it can cause problem of unbalanced power supply and demand and get damaged wind turbine. In this paper, we make prediction models using power ramp rate as well as wind speed and wind direction to increase prediction accuracy. Prediction model construction algorithm used multilayer neural network. We built four prediction models with PRR, wind speed, and wind direction and then evaluated performance of prediction models. The predicted values, which is prediction model with all of attribute, is nearly to the observed values. Therefore, if we use PRR attribute, we can increase prediction accuracy of wind power generation.

This study organized data from 2000 to 2014 for 20 grid-connected countries in Europe and analyzed the determinants of carbon emissions through the panel GLS method considering the problem of heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation. At the same time, the effect of introducing ETS was considered by dividing the sample period as of 2005 when the European emission trading system was introduced. Carbon emissions from individual countries were used as dependent variables, and proportion of generation by each source, power self-sufficiency ratio of neighboring countries, power production from resource-holding countries, concentration of power sources, total energy consumption per capita in the industrial sector, tax of electricity, net electricity export per capita, and size of national territory per capita. According to the estimation results, the proportion of nuclear power and renewable energy generation, concentration of power sources, and size of the national territory area per capita had a negative (-) effect on carbon emissions both before and after 2005. On the other hand, the proportion of coal power generation, the power supply and demand rate of neighboring countries, the power production of resource-holding countries, and the total energy consumption per capita in the industrial sector were found to have a positive (+) effect on carbon emissions. In addition, the proportion of gas generation had a negative (-) effect on carbon emissions, and tax of electricity were found to have a positive (+) effect. However, all of these were only significant before 2005. It was found that net electricity export per capita had a negative (-) effect on carbon emissions only after 2005. The results of this study suggest macroscopic strategies to reduce carbon emissions to green growth, suggesting mid- to long-term power mix optimization measures considering the electricity trade market and their role.

바이오가스 생산은 현재 정부에서 추진하고 있는 저탄소 녹색성장으로 인해 더욱 그 가치의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 스웨덴 Scandinavian Biogas Fuel AB(SBF) 사의 바이오 가스 생산 기술을 이용함으로 소화효율을 개선하고 바이오가스 발생량을 극대화하였다. 전국 403개 공공하수처리시설 중 소화조가 설치된 처리시설은 65 개소이며 이중 57 개소에서 총 64개 소화조를 운영 중이다. 하지만 국내 소화조의 효율은 유입수질 저하, 운영, 관리 미숙으로 인해 전진국의 1/4 수준으로 에너지 이용률이 미미한 편이다. 환경부는 2010년부터 에너지 이용, 생산사용 확대, 추진을 위해 하수처리시설별 이용 가능한 에너지 잠재력의 종류, 양, 지역 내 수요자, 공급자 의 현황 규모 등을 정리해 2012년부터 에너지 이용사업 확대를 추진한다. SBF의 기술을 바탕으로 하수처리시설에서 들어오는 하루 슬러지 $1370m^3$와 음식물쓰레기 180t을 함께 처리하며 바이오가스 생산량을 더욱 늘렸다. 각 $7,000m^3$의 달걀모양(egg shape) 소화조 2개를 운영하며 생 슬러지와 음식물 쓰레기 처리 후 바로 소화조로 투입, 혐기 소화하는 방식이며 슬러지 최종처분방법은 탈수 후 소각된다. 반입되는 생 슬러지의 평균 TS 1.7%, VS 63% 이며 농축 후에는 평균 TS 9%, VS 75% 이다. 또 소화조로 들어가는 음식물 쓰레기는 평균 TS 8%, VS 85% 이며 소화 후 평균 TS 3.6% VS 59% 이다. 그리고 소화조의 pH는 7.3~7.8,유기산의 농도는 150mg/L~350mg/L, 가스발생량은 하루 평균 $26,500Nm^3$이며 소화효율은 평균 67%이다. 혐기성소화는 산소가 없는 무 산소 상태 에서 분해 가능한 유기물을 분해시켜 메탄으로 전환시키고 우리는 현재 이 가스를 소화조 가온에 사용하고, 판매하고 있다. 소화효율을 높이기 위하여 가온과 교반이 행해지는데 가온방식은 직접가온방식(증기주입식)과 간접가온방식(열교환방식)이 있다. 그중 우리는 간접가온방식을 채택하여 소화효율을 높였고 일반중온 혐기소화온도보다 약간 높은 $38^{\circ}C$로 운전한다. 그리고 일반적으로 알려진 교반방식인 가스교반, 기계교반, 이 둘은 병행한 교반이 아닌 독자적인 방법을 이용, 소화조 내의 슬러지가 정체되어 교반되지 않는 부분을 최소화 하였다. 이때 미생물이 투입되기 힘든 소화조 아래 쪽 으로도 고루분포 되어 슬러지를 이용 하게 되고 소화조 상하부의 온도차가 $1^{\circ}C$ 이하로 거의 완벽한 교반상태를 보여 줌 으로써 소화효율을 최대한으로 한다. 더욱이 소화일수 부족으로 인한 전반적 소화효율 저하가 발생하지 않도록 input과 output 조절을 통한 적정소화일수 20~25일을 최대한 맞추어 운전하여 소화조 설계용량의 평균 90%를 활용하고 있다.
