알루미늄 폐드로스 내에 잔류하는 금속 알루미늄을 수산화나트륨용액으로 침출, 분리시켜서 수산화알루미늄으로 제조하는 과정에서 침출잔사가 발생된다. 본 연구에서는 이 침출잔사를 세척, 건조, 배소하여 알루미나질 캐스타블 내화물과 같은 세라믹 원료로 재활용하는 연구를 수행하였으며, 상용화를 위하여 파일롯트 플랜트 시험을 수행하였다. 시험 생산라인은 년간 1,000톤의 폐드로스를 처리하여 약 700톤의 세라믹 원료를 생산할 수 있는 규모이다. 생산라인의 시운전 결과 상용화를 위해서는 건조기의 개선이 필요하고, Na, Fe 등 불순 성분들이 시료에 유입되는 것을 줄여야 하는 문제점들을 파악할 수 있었으며, 개발한 기술의 상용화 적용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Waste aluminum dross is a major waste in the aluminum scrap smelters and its major components are alumina and metallic aluminum. In this study, waste aluminum dross was leached with sodium hydroxide solution to extract the remained aluminum into the solution, and aluminum hydroxide was recovered from the leached solution. The dross residue generated at the leaching step was recycled into alumina base ceramic materials through a series of treatments such as washing, drying and roasting. Also, a pilot plant was constructed and tested to demonstrate the developed technology. Four tons of waste aluminum dross could be processed per day. From the test run of the pilot plant, it was confirmed that the developed technology could be applied to commercialization.

Waste aluminum dross is a major waste in the aluminum scrap smelters and its components are mostly alumina and remained metallic aluminum. In the process to extract the remained aluminum from the waste dross by leaching with sodium hydroxide solution, residue is generated and its main component is alumina. This residue could be recycled into ceramic materials such as alumina castable refractories by going through a series of treatments such as washing, drying and roasting. In this study, a pilot plant was constructed and tested to demonstrate the developed technology. One thousand tons of waste aluminum dross could be processed, and about seven hundred tons of ceramic materials produced in the demonstration line. From the test run of the pilot plant, although it was confirmed that the developed technology could be applied to commercialization, several technical improvements were found to be necessary for reducing impurities such as Na, Fe and for reforming drying equipment.

가스하이드레이트는 수소결합을 하는 물분자의 고체상 격자(Lattice)내에 포집되어 들어가는 기체분자로 구성된 결정화합물로서 외형적인 형태는 얼음과 거의 유사하다. 천연가스 하이드레이트 기술의 최대장점으로는 액화천연가스(LNG)는 초저온인 $-162^{\circ}C$의 저장조건이 필요하지만 천연가스하이드레이트(NGH)기술은 비교적 온화한 조건인 $-15^{\circ}C$에서 천연가스를 고체상태로 저장/이용할 수 있다는 것이다. 천연가스를 $-162^{\circ}C$에서 액화시킨 LNG상태로 생산, 수송, 저장하는 경우보다 고체상태인 NGH(Natural Gas Hydrate)로 만들어서 생산, 수송, 저장할 경우 천연가스의 생산, 수송, 저장, 재가스화 등의 일련의 공정과 비교해볼 때 LNG방법보다 약 24%이상의 경비를 절감을 할 수 있다고 보고되어지고 있다. 따라서, 천연가스의 수송 및 저장기술에서의 탁월한 경제성으로 인해 선진국에서는 가스하이드레이트에 대한 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히 일본은 5Ton/Day용량의 NGH 생산플랜트를 건설하여 시운전 중에 있다. NGH기술의 주요 활용분야는 대용량의 가스매장량을 요구하여 LNG공정기술을 적용할 수 없는 중소형가스전 또는 한계가스전에 경제적으로 적용하는 해양수송분야와 천연가스 공급망이 갖춰져 있지 못한 지역에 NGH Pellet형태로 수송/재기화하여 활용하는 내륙운송이 분야가 있다. 국내에서는 지식경제부 국책과제인 ETI(Energy Technology Innovation)사업을 시작으로 국가경쟁력 제고 차원에서 이러한 기술의 기반구촉 및 실증화 사업이 진행되고 있다. 주요 내용으로는 NGH Process Flow, Overall NGH Process concept diagram, NGH Carrier outline, NGH Land Transportation chain 등이 포함되어 있다.

도시폐기물의 효율적인 소각 처리를 위해서 폐기물 처리량 50 ton/day의 화격자 소각로를 대상으로 화학반응을 고려하여 연소실 내부의 열유동 현상을 전산모사하였다. 수치해석 프로그램으로 상용코드인 PHOENICS를 사용하여 3차원 모사를 하여 실험으로 파악할 수 없는 연소실 내부의 유동 및 폐기물과 산화제와의 반응을 계산하였다. 건조부, 주연소부, 후연소부에 1차연소용공기, 연료의 분포 및 폐기물의 발열량이 노내 열유동 현상에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 1차연소용 공기의 분포에 따라 노내 유동장의 형태에 변화가 있었으며, 벽면에서의 복사열전달을 고려한 경우 2차연소실과 출구근처에서 온도분포가 파일롯트 플랜트 실험결과와 잘 일치하는 r서으로 나타났다.

A chemical heat pump based on the reversible reactions between metal chlorides and ammonia gas is attractive alternative to compression system and liquid absorption systems in cooling and refrigerating fields. The advantages of chemical heat pump are no regulatory constants due to CFC refrigerants, utilization of gas, industrial waste heat, electricity, fuel oil etc. as heat sources and wide applications to energy storage system, large-scale energy managements for industrial process. The scale-up of chemical heat pump from laboratory prototype to pilot plants necessitates the interpretation of system performance and evaluation of dynamic behavior in the chemical reactor. This study contains the prediction of performance of chemical refrigerator according to operating condition, the dynamic simulations through reactor modelling, which is used for the calculation of reactive medium temperature and the conversion variation with reactor cooling temperature, and the effect survey of block parameters on the power of refrigerator.

In many instances phosphorus is a limiting factor for eutrophication in streams, and lakes. Because wastewater treatment plant itself may be the main phosphorus source in a natural water body, removal of phosphorus in final effluent of wastewater treatment processes is required. Amongst various technologies for phosphorus removal in wastewater, adsorption technology was investigated using activated Ca-loess complex. Ca was added in loess to enhance adsorption capacity and intensity of phosphorus. Ca added loess was activated at a high temperature of $400^{\circ}C$ which turned out to be the optimum temperature. Activated Ca-loess complex below $400^{\circ}C$ had not enough strength to be applied as an activated Ca-loess pallet column in wastewater treatment process. Ca-loess complex which activated above $400^{\circ}C$ lost its adsorption capacity as the loess surface was glassified when the activation temperature reached above $400^{\circ}C$20. Even if adsorption capacity of activated Ca-loess was not very high due to the lack of abundant pores on its surface, adsorption intensity was still high because it was activated with added Ca in loess. Activated loess was made by pallets. The activated loess pallets were filled in a column, and were applied in wastewater treatment process. Using an activated Ca-loess pallet column, total phosphorus (T-P) was reduced from about 0.5 mg/l to lower than 0.1 mg/l in wastewater treatment, and ionic phosphorus (phosphate) was completely removed for the four months of pilot plant operation.

Methanotrophic consortium utilizing methane as the primary carbon source and secreting soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) was immobilized on celite R-635 to continuously treat a wastewater containing trichloroethylene (TCE). With influent 2 ppm of TCE. 80.4 and 84.5% of TCE was degraded in 6 and 20 hour of hydraulic retention time (HRT). respectively. and the removal efficiency of TCE was increased with an increase in HRT in methanotrophic consortium biofilm reactor (MCBR). With influent 5 ppm of TCE and 10 hour of HRT. average efficiency of TCE removal was decreased in initial stage. but gradually increased to 81%. TCE was degraded to 88.5 and 96.5% with 10 and 15 hour of HRT. respectively. when methane was supplied alternately with continuous oxygen supply at influent 5 ppm of TCE. The efficiency of TCE degradation was decreased probably because oxidation reaction of methane was proceeded slowly on MMO. when high concentration of methane was supplied with depletion of oxygen. As results of the pilot-scale study. biodegradation of TCE by MCBR system might be feasible at full-scale operation.
