Carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and methane (CH$_4$) are two major greenhouse Bases. $CO_2$is a stack gas of many industrial processes and the main product of the hydrocarbon combustion. There is recent research interest on the synthesis gas (syngas) formation from $CO_2$ and CH$_4$, via the following reaction: CH$_4$+$CO_2$longrightarrow 2H$_2$+$CO_2$, in order to reduce the greenhouse effects and to synthesize various chemicals, Preliminary experiments were conducted on the conversion of $CO_2$ and CH$_4$ to syngas by making use of a microwave plasma torch at atmospheric pressure. Conversion rates of $CO_2$and CH$_4$ to hydrogen (H$_2$), carbon monoxide (CO) and higher hydrocarbons were investigated using Gas Chromatography (GC) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). The experimental data indicate that the main products were H$_2$, CO and small amount of higher hydrocarbons, such as ethylene (C$_2$H$_4$).

Strong metal-support interaction effect is an important issue in determining the catalytic activity for heterogeneous catalysis. In this work, we report the catalytic activity of $Au/TiO_2$, $Au/Al_2O_3$, and $Au/Al_2O_3-CeO_2$ nanocatalysts under CO oxidation fabricated by arc plasma deposition (APD), which is a facile dry process with no organic materials involved. These catalytic materials were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and $N_2$-physisorption. Catalytic activity of the materials has measured by CO oxidation using oxygen, as a model reaction, in a micro-flow reactor at atmospheric pressure. Using APD, the catalyst nanoparticles were well dispersed on metal oxide powder with an average particle size (3~10 nm). As for catalytic reactivity, the result shows $Au/Al_2O_3-CeO_2$ nanocatalyst has the highest catalytic activity among three samples in CO oxidation, and $Au/TiO_2$, and $Au/Al_2O_3$ in sequence. We discuss the effects of structure and metal-oxide interactions of the catalysts on catalytic activity.

The Far-UltraViolet (FUV) imager onboard the Ionospheric Connection Explorer (ICON) spacecraft provides two-dimensional limb images of oxygen airglow in the nightside low-latitude ionosphere that are used to determine the oxygen ion density. As yet, no FUV limb imager has been used for climatological analyses of Equatorial Plasma Bubbles (EPBs). To examine the potential of ICON/FUV for this purpose, we statistically investigate small-scale (~180 km) fluctuations of oxygen ion density in its limb images. The seasonal-longitudinal variations of the fluctuation level reasonably conform to the EPB statistics in existing literature. To further validate the ICON/FUV data quality, we also inspect climatology of the ambient (unfiltered) nightside oxygen ion density. The ambient density exhibits (1) the well-known zonal wavenumber-4 signatures in the Equatorial Ionization Anomaly (EIA) and (2) off-equatorial enhancement above the Caribbean, both of which agree with previous studies. Merits of ICON/FUV observations over other conventional data sets are discussed in this paper. Furthermore, we suggest possible directions of future work, e.g., synergy between ICON/FUV and the Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) mission.

각종 산업공정에서 발생되는 SO$_2$를 처리하기 위하여 화력발전소와 같은 대형 배출업소에서는 주로 FGD 공법이 사용되고, 중소형의 배출업소에서는 건식 또는 반건식 공법 등이 많이 사용되고 있다. 또한 NO$_{x}$의 제거는 SCR 또는 SNCR 공법을 사용하고 있다.(중략)

산업시설 및 대형 발전설비에서 배출되는 아황산가스 및 질소산화물은 대기환경에 직접적으로 악영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라, 오존의 생성과 고갈, 산성비의 출현등으로 지구 온난화와 같은 기후변화에 크게 기여하는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 기존의 습식 석회/석회석 탈황공정(FGD) 및 선택적 촉매/비촉매 탈질기술(SCR/SNCR)은 효과적인 상용기술로서 널리 연구개발되어 왔으나, 대단위 시설투자와 고비용, 2차 오염물질의 배출이 단점으로 지적되고 있다(Nam, 1999).(중략)

현재 저온 플라스마를 이용한 대기오염물질 제어 연구가 국내외적으로 활발하게 진행되고 있나. 특히 국내에서는 강화된 대기오염에 대한 배출허용기준을 준수하기 위하여 황산화물 및 질소산화물을 제거하기 위한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있으며, 이와 병행하여 휘발성 유기화합물(VOCs; Volatile Organic Compounds)에 대한 연구도 진행중에 있다.(중략)
