Calcium lactate was prepared by reacting lactic acid with precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) which was prepared by carbonation process (calcite) and solution process (aragonite). Effects of PCC morphology (calcite and aragonite) on calcium lactate by the solution process were investigated experimentally. Despite the slow forming rate at the initial stage, the final yield of calcium lactate appeared higher when calcite was used. Therefore, the maximum yield of calcium lactate using aragonite was 85.0% and that using calcite was 88.7%, respectively. For both cases, the optimum temperature for the preparation appeared at around $60^{\circ}C$. Furthermore, the increase in lactic acid concentration over 2.0 mol% increased slurry viscosity and deteriorated mass transfer, which resulted in low yield of calcium lactate for both cases. SEM analyses showed that the prepared calcium lactate appeared as plate-like crystal form, irrespective of PCC morphologies, reaction temperatures, and concentrations of lactic acid.

The electrolyte was brought into contact with air and potassium carbonate concentration was measured with various contact time in order to check the effect of carbon dioxide in the air on zinc-air cell. The relationship between potassium carbonate concentration in electrolyte and battery capacity was also studied. The potassium carbonate concentration increased due to carbon dioxide absorption with increasing contact time with air, but the cell capacity linearly decreased with increasing potassium carbonate concentration in the electrolyte. The rate of carbon dioxide absorption was mainly affected by the pore size of hydrophobic membrane. Our study showed that adapting the pore of hydrophobic membrane decreased the loss of cell discharge performance due to the presence of carbon dioxide or water vapor in the atmosphere.

국내의 건축물은 강한 내력을 갖기 위해 사용되는 HSC빈도가 점진적 증가하고 있으며, HSC로 시공되어진 건축구조물에서의 화재 발생시 폭렬현상의 문제점이 대두되고 있다. 이에 국내외에서 폭렬현상에 대한 연구들이 진행되었고, 이를 통해 폭렬현상에 원인을 알게 되어 이를 토대로 폭렬 방지 방안을 세웠다. 이에 따라 폭렬현상의 원인 중 합수율이 있으며, 이는 콘크리트가 함유하고 있는 수분으로 고온시에 팽창하여 폭렬현상의 매커니즘이 형성된다. 또한 이러한 함수율이 폭렬 발생에 미치는 영향을 크게 하는 요인으로 탄산화와 양생방법이 있다. 우선 탄산화는 반응을 일으킬 경우, 생성물이 공극을 채워 고온시 팽창된 수분이 외부로 나가는 것을 방해하여 수증기압을 축적시키고, 양생방법에 따라 함수율이 달라지게 되어 고온시 팽창될 수분의 양을 결정하게 된다. 특히, 함수율에 의해 발생되는 폭렬을 방지하기 위해 고강도 콘크리트 내부의 수분을 제거하는 강제건조를 하거나 팽창된 수분이 빠져나갈 곳을 만들기 위해 고온에서 녹는 PP섬유를 사용해 공극을 만들어주는 방법이 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 HSC의 폭렬현상방지 대책을 위한 기초자료를 제시하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the cement industry and to collect carbon dioxide generated in industrial facilities such as cement factories and thermal power plants, store and utilize it, and convert high-value-added resources. While conventional Ordinary Portland Cement is characterized by hardening through hydration reactions, basic research is underway to develop cement that reacts with carbon dioxide and converts it into carbonate mineralization.

수소의 소규모 분산 생산 기술은 본격적 인 수소 인프라가 도입되기 전에 연료전지 자동차의 수소 충 전용이나 분산 발전형 연료전지의 수소 공급을 위해 필요하다. 생산 용량은 수소 기준으로 $10\~100 Nm^3/hr$ 정도로 현재로선 천연가스의 수증기 개질법이 가장 경제적인 공정으로 알려져 있다. 소규모 생산에 따른 열효율 저하를 줄이 기 위해 단위 공정들이 통합된 컴팩트 개질 시스템의 개발이 필요하다. 핵심 기술인 컴팩트 리포머의 국산화 기술 확보를 위하여 $20 Nm^3/hr$용량의 동심관형 리포머를 설계, 제작하였다. 내부구조는 제작의 단순화를 고려하여 중첩된 동심관이 배열되었고 압력 손실과 열웅력 발생을 억제하도록 유로를 배치하였다. 수증기개질 반응에 필요한 반응열은 리포머 본체에 부착된 버너를 이용하여 공급하였다. 성능 측정을 위한 부속 기기로 상온 흡착식 탈황기, 폐열 회수형 수증기 발생기, 반응물 예열을 위한 열교환기, 생성 가스 응축기를 설계 제작하여 전체 리포밍 시스템을 구성하였다. 반응 온도 $680\~720^{\circ}C$, 탄소 대 수중기 비(S/C ratio) $2.7\~3.2$ 조건에서 수증기 개질 반응을 수행하였다. 해당 반응 조건에서 메탄 전환율 $89\%$ 이상, 저위 발열량 기준 개질 열효율 $70\%$ 이상을 달성하였고 개질 생성가스 내 수소의 최대 유량은 $23.4Nm^3/h$였다. 개발된 리포밍 시스템은 고순도 수소 생산이 필요한 경우, 수소 수율 향상을 위한 고온 수성 가스 전화 반응기를 통합 가능하도록 열교환기 구성을 조정할 수 있으며 용융 탄산염 연료전지와 같이 고온형 연료전지의 경우 $550^{\circ}C$ 이상으로 개질 생성 가스를 공급하도록 구성할 수도 있다. 향후 리포머 본체의 개질 효율 향상 및 장치 소형화, 부속 기기의 최적화를 통한 전체 리포밍 시스템 개선, 스케일 업 설계를 위한 엔지니어링 설계 패키지 구성을 계획하고 있다.

This research is carried out to investigate the formation and preservative effectiveness of inorganic substance, calcium carbonate($CaCO_3$), in wood. The specimens were prepared by the impregnation with saturated solutions of potassium carbonate($K_2CO_3$) into the wood followed by precipitation in saturated solutions of calcium chloride($CaCl_2$) for 24h, 72h and 120h, and then they were leached in instrument flowing with water for 24h. The weight percent gains of $K_2CO_3$ solution impregnated specimens reached approximately a maximum value (108.1%) by 72h precipitation in $CaCl_2$ solutions. Inorganic substances were observed to he produced in the lumina of tracheids of specimens. From these inorganic substances filling in the tracheids, characteristic X-rays of calcium(Ca-$K_{\alpha}$) were detected by energy dispersive X-ray analyzer. Moreover, it was shown from a leaching treatment that these substances could not he leached easily from the specimens. Therefore, they were could he considered to be insoluble calcium carbonates. The weight losses of the prepared specimens were hardly occurred by test fungi attacks. Thus inorganic substances in specimens can be said to have preservative effectiveness.

Study on the instability of waste plastic's thermal pyrolysis oil was carried out for the purpose of improving its quality. The reaction of pyrolysis oil with ozone changed double bonds into aldehydes and ketone, estimated that HDPE pyrolysis oil contained $\sim45$ wt% 1-alkene type olefins, and PP pyrolysis oil did $\sim73$ wt% olefins, which consisted of $\sim47$ wt% secondary and $\sim20$ wt% primary alkenes. The dark brown color and odor of pyrolysis oil were improved by eliminating double bonds, indicated that they were directly related to unsaturated hydrocarbons. Container test showed that metal can affected oil quality worse than the brown glass bottle. Antioxidant added into pyrolysis oil was consumed up to 90% within $2\sim3$ days and the wt. composition of unsaturated hydrocarbons in pyrolysis oil was not changed within 50 days, inferring that instability of pyrolysis oil due to unsaturated bonds can be stabilized by antioxidants. Adsorption test on silica gel, activated carbon and alumina to remove precipitates in oil produced a good result, but not enough to remove moisture. However, cheap anhydrous sodium carbonate showed the best removal efficiency of moisture as well as precipitates in oil. Therefore the pyrolysis oil quality improvement was accomplished by applying anhydrous $Na_2CO_3$ into the production plant.

Estimating potential of $CO_2$ emission reduction of non-capture $CO_2$ utilization (NCCU) technology was evaluated. NCCU is sodium bicarbonate production technology through the carbonation reaction of $CO_2$ contained in the flue gas. For the estimating the $CO_2$ emission reduction, process simulation using process simulator (PRO/II) based on a chemical plant which could handle $CO_2$ of 100 tons per day was performed, Also for the estimation of the indirect $CO_2$ reduction, the solvay process which is a conventional technology for the production of sodium carbonate/sodium bicarbonate, was studied. The results of the analysis showed that in case of the solvay process, overall $CO_2$ emission was estimated as 48,862 ton per year based on the energy consumption for the production of $NaHCO_3$ ($7.4GJ/tNaHCO_3$). While for the NCCU technology, the direct $CO_2$ reduction through the $CO_2$ carbonation was estimated as 36,500 ton per year and the indirect $CO_2$ reduction through the lower energy consumption was 46,885 ton per year which lead to 83,385 ton per year in total. From these results, it could be concluded that sodium bicarbonate production technology through the carbonation reaction of $CO_2$ contained in the flue was energy efficient and could be one of the promising technology for the low $CO_2$ emission technology.
