Absorption rate of carbon dioxide into aqueous ammonia absorbent(10 wt%) was measured in the temperature range from 293 K to 337 K using a stirred-cell reactor. The reaction rate constant was correlated with the Arrehnius equation and the activation energy was 50.42 kJ/mol. $CO_2$ absorption rate into modified ammonia absorbent was also investigated. For the modified ammonia absorbent, 1 wt% sterically hindered amines of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol(AMP), 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propandiol(AMPD) and 2-amino-2-ethyl-1,3-propandiol(AEPD) were used as additives. The $CO_2$ absorption rate increased by adding 1 wt% of the amine additive, in the case of AMP additive, the absorption rate enhanced by about 53%.

This research was basically carried out to extend the application of $CO_2$ absorption processes for flue-gas system, which are mainly applied to a reforming process in petro-chemical industries. In general, MEA absorbent has some problems in flue-gas treatment, such as, degradation, regeneration energy and absorption capacities. As we known, sterical hindered amine, typically AMP (2-amino 2-methyl 1-propanol), have a good potential to improve these problems. In this paper, the characteristics of $CO_2$ absorption in aqueous AMP solution were measured and compared with that of MEA. It has been found that the $CO_2$ absorption capacity in AMP is double than that of MEA in the low $CO_2$ partial pressure system such as flue-gas. Also, the equilibriums of $CO_2$-AMP system were partially suggested, which are essentially needed to design the absorption process.

The quality characteristics of traditional Korean Takju fermented with discolored, broken, and milled rice were evaluated. Initial pH of medium and culure temperature for the alcohol fermentation were 4.2 and 26$^{\circ}C$, respectively. After 5 days of cultivation, final pH and temperature were 4.0 and 23.5$^{\circ}C$. The alcohol contents in fermentation of discolored and broken rice was about 18.0％ and that of milled rice was 18.7％. The content of succinic acid was highest in organic acid components of products fermented three materials respectively. The major volatiles were 3-methyl-1-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, n-propanol and ethyl acetate. In free amino acid composition of mashes, alanine retained more than 1000 mg％. Free sugars contained in mashes such as glucose, fructose, sucrose, maltose were also analysed by HPLC. Results of sensory evaluation in taste, aroma, color were showed good score above 4.3.

Kochujang was prepared for this study with raw material inoculated by commercial enzyme of amylase and protease. Volati1e compounds of Kochujang were analyzed using a purge and trap method during fermentation and identified with GC-MSD. Total 54 kinds of volatile flavor components like 16 kinds of alcohol, 16 kinds of ester, 7 kinds of acid, 4 kinds of aldehyde, 2 kinds of alkane, 1 kind of benzene, 3 kinds of ketone, 1 kind of alkene, 2 kind of amine, 1 kind of phenol, other 1 were found. Total number of volatile flavor detected right after manufacturing were 23 kinds like 3 kinds of alcohol, 6 kinds of ester, 3 kinds of aldehyde. After 30 days storage, total number of volatile flavor went up to 31 kinds with addition of 4 kinds of alcohol, 1 kind of ester. The total number of volatile flavor after 120 days storage were increased to 49 kinds. Volatile flavor compounds detected during the storage period were total 20 kinds like 6 kinds of alcohol such as 2-methyl-1-propanol, ethanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 5 kinds of ester such as ethyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, ethyl butyrate, 3 kinds of aldehyde such as butanal, acetaldehyde and 6 kinds of others. Even though peak area % of flavor compound varied depends on fermentation period, ethanol, ethyl acetate, ethyl butyrate, ethenone, 2-methyl-1-propanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol were the main compounds that consisted of flavor from Kochujang which was made with enzyme treatment. Ethly acetate showed the highest result in the treatment of right after manufacturing, 3-methyl-1-butanol had up to 90th day and ether were the other days.

Carbon dioxide was absorbed into water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion composed of aqueous 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) droplets as a dispersed phase and benzene solutions of polybutene and polyisobutylene as a continuous phase in a flat-stirred vessel to investigate the effect of non-Newtonian rheological behavior on the rate of chemical absorption of $CO_2$, where the reaction between $CO_2$ and AMP in the aqueous phase was assumed to be a pseudo-first-order reaction. It was expressed that PIB with elastic property made the rate of chemical absorption of $CO_2$ accelerated by comparison of mass transfer coefficient of $CO_2$ in the non-Newtonian liquid with that in the Newtonian liquid.

Increasing amounts of anthropogenic $CO_2$ emitted to the atmosphere are believed to be a significant factor in global climate change. Hence, the method of chemical absorption has been suggested to separate and recover acid gases such as $CO_2$. In this study, the characteristics of absorption and regeneration of $CO_2$ for the absorbent which adding HMDA (hexamethylenediamine) into AMP (2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol), hindered amine, was investigated in lab-scale absorption/regeneration reactor. As a result of this study, the removal efficiency of $CO_2$ increased when adding $5.9\%,\;11.7\%\;and\;23.4\%$ HMDA into $30\%$ AMP respectively. Also, the removal efficiency of $CO_2$ increased $6.5\%,\;8.4\%,\;10.3\%$ respectively as compared to AMP alone when the gas flow rate was 7.5 SL/min. In addition, all absorbents used in the study revealed the high stripping efficiency, which was almost $99\%$, at the temperature of $110^{\circ}C$. Thus, the regeneration tower should be operated at $110^{\circ}C$. At this time, the concentration of exhausted $CO_2$ was higher than $99\%$.

In this study, the possible use of HMDA (Hexamethylenediamine) as additive to enhance reaction between $CO_{2}$ and AMP (2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol) which has higher absorption capacity than that of MEA (Monoethanolamine) was investigated. Also, the absorption capacity for $CO_{2}$ was compared with addition of HMDA, piperazine or MDEA (N-methyldiethanolamine) into $30\;wt\%$ AMP at $40^{circ}C$ and $CO_{2}$ partial pressure ranging from 0.5 to 120 kPa. Apparent rate constant ($K_{app}$) and absorption capacity with the addition of $5\∼20\;wt\%$ HMDA into AMP increased $214.2\∼276.3\%$ and $29.9\∼91.7\%$ than those of AMP alone. As a result, when $5\;wt\%$ HMDA added into AMP, the increasing rate of the absorption rate and the absorption capacity was found to be the highest. In addition, the absorption capacity increased $6.8\%,\;9.8\%,\;11.6\%$ with addition of MDEA, piperazine or HMDA respectively as compared to AMP alone at $CO_{2}$ partial pressure of 20 kPa. Consequently, HMDA as additive to improve absorption capacity of AMP was superior to other additives.

Increasing emission of $CO_2$ significantly effects the global warming. Chemical absorption is one of separation methods of $CO_2$ from the industrial flue gases. In this study, the $CO_2$ removal efficiency as well as the $CO_2$ absorption amount of aqueous AMP (2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol) solutions were measured using the continuous absorption and regeneration apparatus. We investigated the effect of aqueous AMP+AEPD(2-amino-2-ethyl-1, 3-propanediol) and AMP+TIPA (triisopropanolamine) solutions to enhance absorption characteristics of AMP. As a result of this study, the absorption amount and $CO_2$ removal efficiency were increased with adding TIPA into 30 wt.% AMP. The absorption amount and $CO_2$ removal efficiency of aqueous 30 wt.% AMP+5 wt.% TIPA solution were $1.70\;kg-CO_2/kg-absorbent$ and 91.1%, while those of aqueous 30 wt.% AMP solution were $1.58\;kg-CO_2/kg-absorbent$ and 89.3%. In addition, aqueous 30 wt.% AMP+5 wt.% TIPA solution used in the study revealed the high stripping efficiency, which was almost 98%, at the temperature of $110^{\circ}C$. Thus, the temperature of regenerator should be operated at $110^{\circ}C$.
