Anaerobic digestion(AD) has successfully been used for many applications that have conclusively demonstrated its ability to recycle biogenic wastes. AD has been successfully applied in industrial waste water treatment, stabilsation of sewage sludge, landfill management and recycling of biowaste and agricultural wastes as manure, energy crops. During AD, i.e. organic materials are decomposed by anaerobic forming bacteria and fina1ly converted to excellent fertilizer and biogas which is primarily composed of methane(CH4) and carbon dioxide(CO2) with smaller amounts of hydrogen sulfide(H2S) and ammonia(NH3), trace gases such as hydrogen(H2), nitrogen(N2), carbon monoxide(CO), oxygen(O2) and contain dust particles and siloxanes. The production and utilisation of biogas has several environmental advantages such as i)a renewable energy source, ii)reduction the release of methane to the atomsphere, iii)use as a substitute for fossil fuels. In utilisation of biogas, most of biogas produced from small scale plant e.g. farm-scale AD plant are used to provide as energy source for cooking and lighting, in most of the industrialised countries for energy recovery, environmental and safety reasons are used in combined heat and power(CHP) engines or as a supplement to natural. In particular, biogas to use as vehicle fuel or for grid injection there different biogas treatment steps are necessary, it is important to have a high energy content in biogas with biogas purification and upgrading. The energy content of biogas is in direct proportion to the methane content and by removing trace gases and carbon dioxide in the purification and upgrading process the energy content of biogas in increased. The process of purification and upgrading biogas generates new possibilities for its use since it can then replace natural gas, which is used extensively in many countries, However, those technologies add to the costs of biogas production. It is important to have an optimized purification and upgrading process in terms of low energy consumption and high efficiency giving high methane content in the upgraded gas. A number of technologies for purification and upgrading of biogas have been developed to use as a vehicle fuel or grid injection during the passed twenty years, and several technologies exist today and they are continually being improved. The biomethane which is produced from the purification and the upgrading process of biogas has gained increased attention due to rising oil and natural gas prices and increasing targets for renewable fuel quotes in many countries. New plants are continually being built and the number of biomethane plants was around 100 in 2009.

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is regarded as an alternative fuel for spark ignition engine due to similar or even higher octane number. In addition, LPG has better fuel characteristics including high vaporization characteristic and low carbon/hydrogen ratio leading to a reduction in carbon dioxide emission. Recently, development of LPG direct injection system started to improve performance of vehicles fuelled with LPG. However, spray characteristics of LPG were not well understood, which is should be known to develop injector for LPG direct injection engines. In this study, effects of operation condition including ambient pressure, temperature, and injection pressure on spray properties of n-butane were evaluated and compared to gasoline in a multi-hole injector. As general characteristics of both fuels, spray penetration becomes smaller with an increase of ambient pressure as well as a reduction in the injection pressure. However, it is found that evaporation of n-butane was faster compared to gasoline under all experimental condition. As a result, spray penetration of n-butane was shorter than that of gasoline. This result was due to higher vapor pressure and lower boiling point of n-butane. On the other hand, spray angle of both fuels do not vary much except under high ambient temperature conditions. Furthermore, spray shape of n-butane spray becomes completely different from that of gasoline at high ambient temperature conditions due to flash boiling of n-butane.

Supercritical carbon dioxide ($scCO_2$) has advantages of being incorporated in polymer with high solubility and of being recovered easily by depressurizing. $scCO_2$ reduces the viscosity of polymer melt and it is expected to be use as a plasticizing agent. In this work, we studied on the effect of $scCO_2$ on the rheological properties of polymer melts during extrusion process. Slit die attached to twin screw extruder was used to measure the viscosity of polymer melts plasticized by supercritical $CO_2$. A gas injection system was devised to accurately meter the supercritical $CO_2$ into the extruder barrel. Measurements of pressure drop within the die, confirmed the presence of a one phase mixture and a fully developed flow during the measurements. The viscosity measurement of polypropylene was performed at experimental conditions of various temperatures, pressures and $CO_2$ concentrations. We observed that melt viscosity of polymer was dramatically reduced by $CO_2$ addition.

본 연구에서는 콘크리트 2차제품 제조시 기체상의 이산화탄소를 주입하는 In-situ 탄산화 기술의 적용 가능성 분석을 위해 이산화탄소 주입량에 따른 콘크리트 인터로킹 블록의 기초물성 및 미세구조 분석을 실시하였다. 안정적인 이산화탄소 주입을 위해 CO₂ 가스 주입용 콘크리트 혼합 설비를 구축하였으며, 이산화탄소 주입량을 시멘트량 대비 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 wt.%로 제어하였다. 기초물성 시험 결과, 이산화탄소 주입량이 0.3 %까지 증가할수록 기존 배합 대비 높은 강도 거동을 보였으며, 주입량 0.5 % 이후에는 기존 배합보다 낮은 강도를 보였으나 콘크리트 2차제품의 강도 기준(보차도용 콘크리트 인터로킹 블록)을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 콘크리트 인터로킹 블록 제조시 이산화탄소 주입에 따른 CaCO₃ 결정 및 C-S-H 등의 수화물 생성이 촉진된 것으로 판단되었다. 따라서 배합중 이산화탄소를 주입하는 탄산화기술을 다양한 콘크리트 2차제품 제조 공정에 적용할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

탄소중립을 위한 이산화탄소 저감 기술 및 대체 에너지에 대한 수요가 계속 증가하고 있다. 팔리고스카이트(palygorskite)는 리본 구조를 가지는 점토광물로 넓은 표면적의 나노크기의 공극을 가지고 있어, 지구온난화의 주범인 이산화탄소(CO₂)를 포집하고 친환경 대체 에너지인 수소(H₂)를 저장할 수 있는 물질로 제안된 바 있다. 이번 논문에서는 대정준 몬테 카를로(grand canonical Monte carlo) 시뮬레이션을 사용하여 팔리고스카이트 나노공극으로의 CO₂ 및 H₂ 분자의 흡착 등온선과 기작에 대한 기초연구의 예비 결과를 보고한다. 실온에서 기체의 분압 관련 변수인 화학 포텐셜(chemical potential)의 증가에 따라 나노공극에 흡착되는 CO₂ 및 H₂ 함량은 증가하였다. CO₂와 비교하여, H₂의 흡착은 더 높은 화학 포텐셜, 즉 높은 에너지가 필요하였다. 이론 계산으로 얻은 나노공극에서의 평균 제곱 변위(mean squared displacement)는 CO₂ 보다 H₂가 훨씬 높았으며 기존 실험 결과와 일치했다. CO₂는 나노공극에서 일렬로 배열된 반면, H₂는 매우 불규칙한 배열을 보였다. 이번 연구 방법은 CO₂ 및 H₂를 저장 가능한 지구물질 광물을 찾는 개발연구뿐만 아니라, 지중환경에서 유체와 광물의 반응을 근본적으로 이해하는 데 기여할 것으로 기대한다.

초임계이산화탄소를 이용하여 세라믹 사출성형체로부터 파라핀왁스를 제거하였다. 파라핀왁스는 세라믹사출성형 공정에서 바인더로 사용되는 물질이다. 파라핀왁스 제거의 최적조건을 찾기 위해 온도, 압력, 이산화탄소의 유량에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. 온도는 328.15 - 348.15 K, 압력은 15 - 30 MPa 범위에서 조절하였으며, 이산화탄소의 유속을 변화시켜가면서 파라핀왁스의 제거율을 측정하였다. 파라핀왁스의 제거율은 압력의 증가에 비례하였다. 온도는 파라핀왁스의 녹는점인 329.15K 이상일 때 파라핀왁스의 제거가 효과적이었고, 더 높은 온도에서는 더 이상의 효과가 없었다. 이산화탄소의 유량 증가에 따라 파라핀 제거율이 향상되었지만 어느 양 이상이 되면 더 이상 효과가 없었다. 파라핀왁스를 보다 더 효과적으로 제거하기 위해 프로판을 공용매로 사용하였다. 초임계이산화탄소에 프로판을 첨가했을 경우 제거율이 향상되었으며, 사출성형체의 구조나 모양에 어떠한 변화도 없이 파라핀왁스를 완전하게 제거할 수 있었다.

나트륨 농축수로부터 나트륨 화합물을 합성하기 위하여 탄산화(step I) 및 저온 결정화(step II)를 수행하였다. 탄산화 과정에서는 반응 온도를 조절 변수로 이용하여 이를 통해 이산화탄소(95 wt.%)의 용해도 및 pH를 변화시켰다. 저온 결정화 과정은 탄산화 과정 후 2 ℃로 유지한 상태에서 진행하였다. 이산화탄소의 주입은 용액 내 탄산 이온의 안정적 생산과 포화 용해도를 고려하여 두 차례 주입하였다. 첫 번째 주입은 이산화탄소 주입량 증가 및 안정적인 탄산 이온 생성을 목적으로 반응 온도를 35 ℃에서 10 ℃로 변화시켜 CO₂의 용해도를 변화하고자 하였고, 두 번째 주입은 NaCl 용액 혼합과 동시에 탄산화를 통한 나트륨 화합물의 핵생성을 유도할 목적으로 수행하였다. 또한 저온 결정화에서는 pH 조절 및 반응 온도 변화(10 ℃에서 2 ℃)를 통해 탄산화 속도를 느리게 유도함으로써 나트륨 화합물의 결정 성장을 유도할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 NaOH 농도에 대한 효과를 검토하였으며 2M NaOH를 사용한 경우에 나트룸 화합물의 순도가 증가하였다. 또한, 합성 한 나트륨 화합물은 대부분 rod 형상을 갖는 물질들로 X-선 회절 분석을 통해 중탄산나트륨 또는 수화물(monohydrate) 형태의 탄산나트륨임을 확인하였다.

In recent years, carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) bubbles emerged as the most widely applied material with the recycling of sequestrated storage to decrease global warming. Flotation using $CO_2$ as an alternative to air could be effective in overcoming the high power consumption in the dissolved air flotation (DAF) process. The comparison of DAF and DCF system indicated that, the carbon dioxide flotation (DCF) system with pressurized $CO_2$ only requires 1.5 ~ 2.0 atm, while the DAF system requires 3.0 ~ 6.0 atm. In a bid to understand the characteristics of particle separation, the single collector collision (SCC) model was used and a series of simulations were conducted to compare the differences of collision and flotation between $CO_2$ bubbles and air bubbles. In addition, laboratory experiments were sequentially done to verify the simulation results of the SCC model. Based on the simulation results, surfactant injection, which is known to decrease bubble size, cloud improved the collision efficiency of $CO_2$ bubbles similar to that of air bubbles. Furthermore, the results of the flotation experiments showed similar results with the simulation of the SCC model under anionic surfactant injection. The findings led us to conclude that $CO_2$ bubbles can be an alternative to air bubbles and a promising material as a collector to separate particles in the water and wastewater.

Bioventing efficiency was compared in a continuous and an intermittent(6hr injection and 6hr rest) air injection mode. Two lab-scale columns which packed with 5 kg of soil artificially contaminated by diesel oil were operated. The columns were maintained at the $25^{\circ}C{\pm}2.5$ in order to minimize the effect of exterior temperature variation. The flow rate of air injection mode were maintained constantly at the flow rate of 10 ml/min. The moisture of the columns was stably maintained at $60{\sim}80%$ of field capacity. The nutrient compounds were added to make C:N:P ratio as 100:10:l. The continuous and intermittent injection modes showed 67.56% and 69.63% reduction of initial TPH concentration during 90 days, respectively. Two venting modes showed similar results in the analysis of the trends of the hydrocarbon utilizing bacterial counts for operating periods. The carbon dioxide production rate of the continuous injection mode was higher than that of intermittent injection mode. The loss of diesel oil by volatilization in the continuous and intermittent injection modes were about 5% and 1%, respectively. The lower volatilization loss in the intermittent injection mode suggested that the biodegradation of TPH in the intermittent injection mode was greater than that of the continuous mode. These results suggested that the intermittent injection mode is more efficient than the continuous venting mode.
