The volume expansion of three ionic liquids (ILs) in the presence of supercritical carbon dioxide has been measured at pressures up to 32 MPa and at temperatures from 313.15 to 333.15 K in a high-pressure view cell. The imidazolium-derivative ionic liquids 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim][$PF_6$]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][$BF_4$]), and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([omim][$BF_4$]) were employed in this research. The effects of pressure, temperature, nature of anion and cation as well as the water content on the volume expansion of ILs by absorbing $CO_2$ were investigated experimentally. The volume expansion was higher for the ILs with longer cationic alkyl group and for the ILs with lower anion polarity. The lower the water content, the lower the temperature, or the higher the pressure, the higher was the expansion of IL phase.

Solubilities of urea-crystallized tuna oil methyl esters in supercritical carbon dioxide were determined by a flow through extraction reactor. Experimental results obtained under a quasi-equlibrium condition showed that at 150 bar, solubilities of the esters in supercritical $CO_2$ were 0.075, 0.028 and 0.006(w/w) at $40^{\circ}C,\;60^{\circ}C\;and\;80^{\circ}C$, respectively. In the pressure and temperature ranges $(100{\sim}200bar\;and\;40{\sim}80^{\circ}C)$, the solubility increased with the density of $CO_2$. However, selectivity of supercritical carbon dioxide on the extracted compounds was much better at low density than at high density. Supercritical fractionation with a temperature gradient $(50{\sim}75^{\circ}C)$ resulted in concentrates of EPA and DHA in purities of 12% and 85%, respectively.

Photonic crystals (PCs) are highly ordered porous materials which have been much attention because of its potential for controlling the light sauces. There are many methods for synthesizing this kind of materials among them we chose the supercritical deposition. With this method the reactants can easily infiltrate into the complex structure. In this paper, supercritical carbon dioxide ($scCO_2$) was used as a reaction medium, which is known as a sustainable solvent due to its nontoxic and noninflammable characteristics. We coated the colloidal template with metal alkoxide by using $scCO_2$ and then obtained macro-porous inverse opals. The reaction was carried out at $40^{\circ}C$ and 80 bar. We synthesized two different inverse opals which called silica and titania inverse opals by use of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) as a precursor, respectively.

An automobile is composed of a combination of a lot of parts, and it is difficult to maintain the same performance from a new car until it's scrapped. Greenhouse gases included in automobile emissions are typically carbon dioxide and methane. It is expected that this greenhouse gas will change depending on the aging (cumulative mileage) of the automobile However, the greenhouse gas characteristics by cumulative mileage lack of actual data due to time and economic difficulties. Therefore, in this paper, we selected automobile with high sales by displacement in korea and carbon dioxide and methane were measured by using method of the related law. The cumulative mileage is as follows; within 160 km (Statutory mileage by 2010), 6500 km (current statutory mileage), 15000 km (approximately 1-year average mileage of Non-business passenger vehicle). As a result of the test, the emission of carbon dioxide and methane was the smallest at 6,500 km, and increased in order of 15000 km, within 160 km. Also, it was confirmed that the $CO_2$ emission change of a large displacement automobile is more smaller at each mileage. Although the greenhouse gas tends to increase as the mileage of the vehicle, it is thought that additional confirmation is required of since 15,000 km as well, because it can occur deviations due to taming process or mechanical friction of the automobile.

The effects of sheep urine and dung patches on methane ($CH_4$) and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) fluxes were investigated during the summer-autumn in 2010, to evaluate their contribution to climate change in a desert grassland in Inner Mongolia, China. Results indicate that the cumulative $CH_4$ emissions for dung patches, urine patches and control plots were -0.076, -0.084, and -0.114 g/$m^2$ and these were net $CH_4$ sinks during the measured period. The level of $CH_4$ intake from urine and dung plots decreased 25.7%, and 33.3%, respectively, compared with a control plot. $CO_2$ fluxes differed (p<0.01) in urine plots, with an average of 569.20 mg/$m^2$/h compared with control plots (357.62 mg/$m^2$/h) across all sampling days. Dung patches have cumulative $CO_2$ emissions that were 15.9% higher compared with the control during the 55-d period. Overall, sheep excrement weakened $CH_4$ intake and increased $CO_2$ emissions.

Here, we introduce a means of utilizing waste oyster shells which were obtained from temporary storage near coastal workplaces as $CO_2$ adsorbents. The calcined CaO can be easily dissociated to $Ca^{2+}$ cation and $CO_3{^{2-}}$ anion by hydrolysis and gas-liquid carbonation reaction and converted to precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) in algae-containing water. The calcium hydroxide and carbonation combination in algae-containing water significantly contributed to improving water quality which is very dependent on the addition amount of calcined powders.

Global warming issues due to the $CO_2$(Carbon Dioxide) become increasing since the Industrial Revolution. After the Kyoto protocol at 1997, nations which have the prearranged quota drives their national project for the reduction of $CO_2$. Korean Government start to the related big projects in the view of three concepts which have consist of the $CO_2$ exhaust reduction on land, $CO_2$ capture and $CO_2$ storage. Furthermore, the storage method putting into depleted region underground is accepted by the London Convention while the ocean diluted method discharging the liquid $CO_2$ into the deep ocean using the long pipe which is towed by the surface vessel is underway for the research steps which means that there are many potentials for the R&Ds that need for the breakthrough. In this paper, the role and example of the Computational Fluid Dynamics for the feasibility study of the $CO_2$ ocean sequestration is mentioned.

In this study, ionic liquids were synthesized to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) on a laboratory scale. The vapor-liquid absorption equilibrium device (VLE) was used to investigate the carbon dioxide absorption capacity. In the regeneration study, the absorption capacity after regeneration was reduced by approximately 7% for all ionic liquids, in which the anion was sulfite-based, showing excellent regeneration. Ethyl sulfite showed the highest absorption capacity of CO2 among the ionic liquids based on the sulfite anion. In particular, the absorption capacity of [beim] ethyl sulfite was 1.1 mol CO2 / mol IL at an absorption equilibrium pressure of 22 bar. In the regeneration study, the absorption capacity after regeneration was reduced by approximately 7% for all ionic liquids, in which the anion was sulfite-based, from which regeneration is outstanding. After the absorption experiment, the viscosity of the sample tended to decrease by approximately 8% compared to that before the absorption experiment. On the other hand, the absorbent was synthesized in the first step. Moreover, the raw material used is also inexpensive and has excellent reproducibility and highly stable absorbent capacity.

In this study, $CO_2$ adsorbent was produced for minimizing energy loss due to ventilation within the building. For improved selectivity about low concentration of $CO_2$ in multiple-use facilities, the ball type adsorbent was modified from a commercial zeolite, alumina, alkali metals and activated carbon with mixing LiOH, binder, and $H_2O$. We measured specific surface area, pore characteristic, and crystal structure of the modified adsorbent. Effects of alkalization on the absorptive properties of the adsorbents were investigated. Continuous column tests (2,000 ppm) and batch chamber tests ($4m^3$, 5,000ppm) showed that the modified adsorbent indicated about the selectivity of $CO_2$ more than 9.7% (0.613 mmol/g) compared with ordinary adsorbents and $CO_2$ removal efficiency of 88.8% within l hour, respectively. It was estimated that the modified adsorbent was applicable to indoor environments.

이산화탄소의 분리회수가 필요한 공정은 지금까지 천연가스정제, 암모니아 제조시 수소정제, 매립지 가스, Enhanced oil revovery (EOR), Bio 가스정제 등이 있었으며, 최근에는 지구온난화의 주원인인 $CO_2$를 배출가스(Flue gas)로부터 분리하는 것이 중요한 과제로 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 지구협약에 의해 방출규제가 따를 것으로 예상되는 Flue gas에 포함된 $CO_2$의 배출제어를 중심으로 분리막을 이용한 이산화탄소 분리회수기술을 살펴보고자 한다.
