폐목재를 자원화하는 방법은 물질재활용과 에너지재활용으로 분류된다. 물질재활용은 폐목재를 원료로 파티클보드 또는 MDF를 생산하는 것 등이 포함되며 분리배출 및 수집을 통해 수차례 재활용이 가능한 장점이 있다. 에너지재활용은 칩을 제조하여 열병합발전 또는 보일러의 원료로 에너지를 생산하는 것을 말한다. 화석연료를 사용하는 발전소, 보일러 등에서 기존의 연료(석유, 화석연료 등)를 폐목재로 대체하면 화석연료 구입비용과 폐목재를 폐기물로서 처리하는 비용을 절감할 수 있다. 본 연구는 폐목재를 원료로 하여 파티클보드 생산공정과 열병합 에너지 생산공정을 전과정평가의 방법으로 지구 온난화에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 폐목재 1톤을 사용하여 파티클보드 생산공정은 112kg의 온실가스 를 배출하며, 열병합에너지공정은 382kg의 온실가스를 배출하는 것으로 분석되었으며, 분석조건은 파티클보드의 평균수명 14년과 재활용회수 16회를 가정하였고, 이때 임시적 탄소저장능을 고려하였다.

Flow accelerated corrosion (FAC) of the carbon steel piping in nuclear power plants (NPPs) has been major issue in nuclear industry. Rotating cylinder FAC test facility was designed and fabricated and then performance of the facility was evaluated. The facility is very simple in design and economic in fabrication and can be used in material and chemistry screening test. The facility is equipped with on line monitoring of pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen(DO), and temperature. Fluid velocity is controlled with rotating speed of the cylinder with a test specimen. FAC test of SA106 Gr. B carbon steel under 4 m/s flow velocity was performed with the rotating cylinder at DO concentration of less than 1 ppb and of 1.3 ppm. Also a corrosion test of the carbon steel at static condition, that is at zero fluid velocity, of test specimen and solution was performed at pH from 8 to 10 for comparison with the FAC data. For corrosion test in static condition, the amount of non adherent corrosion product was almost constant at pH ranging from 8 to 10. But adherent corrosion product decreased with increasing pH. This trend is consistent with decrease of Fe solubility with an increase in pH. For FAC test with rotating cylinder FAC test facility, the amount of non adherent corrosion product was also almost same for both DO concentrations. The rotating cylinder FAC test facility will be further improved by redesigning rotating cylinder and FAC specimen geometry for future work.

In response to climate change, the world is continuing efforts to reduce fossil fuels, expand renewable energy, and improve energy efficiency with the goal of achieving carbon neutrality. In particular, R&D is being made on the value chain covering the entire cycle of hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and utilization in order to shift the energy supply system to focus on hydrogen energy. Hydrogen-based energy sources can produce heat and electricity at the same time, so it is possible to utilize heat energy, which can increase overall efficiency. In this study, calculation of the optimal scale for hydrogen-based cogeneration and the composition of heat sources were reviewed. It refers to a method of the optimal heat source size according to the external heat supply and heat storage to be considered. The results of this study can be used as basic data for establishing a hydrogen-based energy supply model in the future.

본 연구에서는 산 표면 처리한 입상 활성탄(GAC)과 활성 탄소섬유(ACF)에 의한 $Pb^{2+}$와 $Ni^{2+}$ 이온의 흡착 특성을 고찰하였다. 산 표면 처리용액으로는 1.0 M 질산 용액을 사용하였다. GAC와 ACF의 표면특성분석은 pH, 등전점(pHpzc), 그리고 원소분석기를 사용하였으며, 비표면적과 기공구조는 77K에서 $N_2$ 등온흡착 방법으로 측정하였다. 본 실험결과 GAC 와 ACF를 산으로 표면 처리한 경우 산소를 포함한 작용기가 증가하였다. 이처럼 산 표면 처리에 의해 증가된 표면 작용기에 따른 GAC 및 ACF의 기공이 막힘에도 불구하고, acidic-ACF > untreated-ACF > acdic-GAC > untreated-GAC 순으로 중금속 흡착능이 증가하였다.

Hydrogen production can be classified based on the energy source, primary reactor type, and whether or not it emits carbon dioxide. Utilizing color representation proves to be an effective means of expressing these distinctive characteristics. Among the various clean hydrogen production techniques, there has been a growing interest in turquoise hydrogen production, which involves the decomposition of methane or other fossil fuels. This method offers advantages in terms of large-scale production and cost reduction through the sale of solid-carbon byproduct. In this study, an extensive literature review was conducted to select and analyze several promising candidates for turquoise hydrogen production processes. The efficiency and economics of these processes were evaluated using stream data reported in the literature sources. The findings indicate that the levelized cost of hydrogen production (LCOH) is significantly influenced by the sales of byproducts, specifically the solid-carbon and carbon monoxide byproducts.

This study explores the environmentally innovative and low-impact technology, a zero food waste system (ZFWS) that utilizes food waste and converts it into composts or biofuels and curtails carbon emissions. The ZFWS not just achieves food waste reductions but recycles food waste into fertilizer. Based on a fermentation-extinction technique using bio wood chips, the ZFWS was employed in a field experiment of the system installed in a large-scale apartment complex, and the performance of the system was examined. The on-site ZFWS consisted of three primary parts: 1) a food waste slot into which food waste was injected; 2) a fermentation-extinction reactor where food waste was mixed with bio wood chips made up of complex enzyme and aseptic wood chips; and 3) deodorization equipment in which an ultraviolet and ozone photolysis method was employed. The field experiment showed that food waste injected into the ZFWS was reduced by 94%. Overall microbial activity of the food waste in the fermentation-extinction reactor was measured using adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP), and the degradation rate of organic compounds, referred to as volatile solids, increased with ATP concentration. The by-products generated from ZFWS comply with the national standard for organic fertilizer.

Total shipping accounts for 2.9 % of the annual average percentage of global anthropogenic GHG emissions. The International Maritime Organization implements EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index), Energy Efficiency eXisting-ship Index (EEXI), and Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) as regulatory frameworks for shipping decarbonization. The Republic of Korea has enforced the Act on Development and Popularization of Greenship from 2020 and publicly announced the 1st national plan which was named 『2030 Greenship-K Promotion Strategy』 for the activation of a greenship market. The Greenship Certification Scheme is going on for the sustainability of Korean shipbuilding and shipping industries, to secure clean maritime environments, as well as to contribute to the national economy. Greenship Certification guarantees the credit of such eco-friendly technologies and products for shipping. The certification is going to be the basis of industrial competitiveness in coastal and international shipping. This study investigates an existing certification process, identifies the limitations, and proposes the process improved with several case studies. The improved certification scheme may have rationality for Net-zero with regard to climate alignment.

기후변화 영향의 심각성을 인지한 국제사회의 움직임에 발맞춰 우리 정부는 2050 탄소중립 선언을 통해 지속가능한 탄소중립 사회를 지향하고 있으며, 국가 온실가스 감축 목표의 이행을 위해 산림부문을 적극적으로 활용한 전략을 수행중이다. 특히 산림 내 고사목은 탄소저장고로서의 역할을 담당하므로 고정표본점에 대하여 모니터링이 이루어지는 국가산림자원조사(National Forest Inventory; NFI)에서 수집되는 고사목 자료를 활용하여 고사목 축적량과 고사목의 탄소저장량 변화 특성을 구명하는 것은 의의가 크다. 따라서 본 연구는 각 차수별(제5차-제7차 NFI) 고사목 자료를 활용하여 동일표 본점 내 고사목의 발생 현황 및 탄소저장량을 산출하고 시간에 따른 변화 특성을 분석하였다. 강원도 산림에서 각 차수별로 모니터링이 가능한 동일 표본점 2,021개를 분석한 결과 조사차수별 고사목 축적량(m³ ha^-1)은 제5차 및 제6차 NFI에서 각각 4.71과 4.09로 나타났으나, 제7차 NFI에서는 3.09로 감소하는 결과를 보였다. 연도별 고사목의 탄소저장량(ton C ha^-1)은 2009년 0.67, 2014년 0.64, 그리고 2019년 0.41로 분석되어, 시간의 흐름에 따른 감소추세를 나타냈다. 본 연구 결과를 기초자료로 활용하여 향후 전국 산림에 대한 고사목의 탄소저장량 추정 및 시계열적 변화 특성에 대한 지속적인 모니터링 연구가 수행될 필요가 있다.

시멘트를 전혀 사용하지 않고 슬래그와 같은 산업 부산물과 알칼리 활성화제를 사용하여 콘크리트를 제조하면 천연자원 및 에너지 고갈 문제와 이산화탄소 배출에 의한 환경오염을 해결할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 현재까지 알칼리 활성화제를 사용한 무시멘트 콘크리트의 연구는 주로 재료적인 분야에 대해서만 수행되어지고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 무시멘트 콘크리트를 구조재료로 사용하기 위해서는 구조 부재 거동 등에 대한 연구가 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 50 MPa급 알칼리 활성 슬래그 콘크리트를 사용한 철근콘크리트 보부 재 3개를 제작하여 휨실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과를 검증하기 위하여 알칼리 활성 슬래그 콘크리트의 탄성계수와 응력-변형률 관계를 이용한 비선형 해석 모델을 제안하였으며, 제안된 해석 모델을 이용하여 해석을 수행한 결과, 해석결과와 실험결과가 비교적 잘 일치하여 제안된 해석 모델은 적절한 것으로 판단된다.

This work presents a modified analytical model for the bending behavior of axially functionally graded (AFG) carbon nanotubes reinforced composite (CNTRC) nanobeams. New higher order shear deformation beam theory is exploited to satisfy parabolic variation of shear through thickness direction and zero shears at the bottom and top surfaces.A Modified continuum nonlocal strain gradient theoryis employed to include the microstructure and the geometrical nano-size length scales. The extended rule of the mixture and the molecular dynamics simulations are exploited to evaluate the equivalent mechanical properties of FG-CNTRC beams. Carbon nanotubes reinforcements are distributed axially through the beam length direction with a new power graded function with two parameters. The equilibrium equations are derived with associated nonclassical boundary conditions, and Navier's procedure are used to solve the obtained differential equation and get the response of nanobeam under uniform, linear, or sinusoidal mechanical loadings. Numerical results are carried out to investigate the impact of inhomogeneity parameters, geometrical parameters, loadings type, nonlocal and length scale parameters on deflections and stresses of the AFG CNTRC nanobeams. The proposed model can be used in the design and analysis of MEMS and NEMS systems fabricated from carbon nanotubes reinforced composite nanobeam.
