Hydraulic fracturing of wells during oil and gas (O&G) exploration consumes large volumes of fresh water and generates larger volumes of contaminated wastewater with high salinity. It is critical to treat and reuse the O&G wastewater in a cost-effective and environmentally sound manner for sustainable industrial development and for meeting stringent regulations. Recently, forward osmosis (FO) has been examined if it is a promising solution for treatment and desalination of complex industrial streams and especially fracturing flowback and produced waters. In the present study, the performances of a plate-and-frame FO membrane element and a module (6 elements combined in series) were investigated for concentrating high TDS wastewater. An FO module has achieved up to 64 % water recovery (i.e., concentration factor of 2.76) from 10,000 ppm wastewaters and can concentrate feed streams salinities to greater than 30,500 ppm.

수소화 반응용 니켈 폐촉매를 배소하여 산화니켈을 회수한 다음, 회수한 산화니켈을 산처리하고 침전법으로 Kieselguhr에 담지 된 니켈 촉매로 재생시켰다. 폐촉매의 배소 조건이 니켈산화물의 회수에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 니켈 폐촉매의 재생 과정에서 $1,000^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 배소 하였을 경우에 대부분 니켈산화물로 회수할 수 있었다. 산화니켈을 산처리하여 얻은 질산니켈을 사용하여 Kieselguhr에 담지 된 니켈 촉매를 제조하였다. 이때 조촉매의 첨가, 침전 조건 및 환원 조건 등이 재생된 촉매의 식물성 오일의 수소화 반응 성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 알카리 금속인 CaO와 희토류 금속인 $Ce_2$$O_3$를 조촉매로 첨가했을 때 수소화 반응의 활성이 증가하였다.

흙-습윤 특성곡선은 불포화토에서 물의 흐름, 다상유체에서의 상대투수계수, 그리고 흙의 강성 및 부피 변화를 이해하는데 필수적이다. 바이오폴리머는 미생물에 완전 분해가 가능한 자연에 무해한 친환경 물질이다. 따라서, 치토산, 폴리에틸렌 옥사이드, 잔탄검, 알지네이트염 및 폴리아크릴산 등과 같은 바이오폴리머가 지반복원, 지반성능향상 및 오일생산증진을 위해 연구되어왔다. 폴리아크릴산(polyacrylic acid)은 바이오폴리머의 일종으로, 유체의 흐름 특성 향상을 통하여 오일생산증진 및 지반복원 등의 분야에서 우수한 성능을 보여왔다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 폴리아크릴산(polyacrylic acid)을 포함한 모래의 흙-습윤 특성곡선의 이해하기 위해서 실내시험을 수행하고, 이론적 모델의 매개변수 변화를 연구하였다. 그 결과, 폴리아크릴산(polyacrylic acid)의 농도가 증가함에 따라, 포화된 모래에 주입되는 공기의 주입 모세관압력이 증가함을 보이고, 높은 모세관압력에서의 잔류 함수비 역시 증가하고 있음을 보였다. 또한, 이론식 모델의 매개변수를 구하였으며, 이를 활용한 흙-습윤 특성곡선이 실내 실험 결과와 잘 일치하고 있음을 보였다. 따라서, 이론적 모델의 매개변수를 알고 있으면, 본 연구에서 활용된 폴리아크릴산(polyacrylic acid)이외의 바이오폴리머를 포함한 모래 지반의 흙-습윤 특성곡선이 예측이 가능함을 설명하였다.

Various products of karanj (Pongamia glabra) are utilized for industrial, health and animal agriculture applications in the Indian subcontinent. Despite a rich source of protein (CP, 28-34%), karanj cake was found to be slightly bitter in taste and toxic owing to the presence of flavonoid (Karanjin), restricting its safe inclusion in the livestock diets. Feeding trials with raw cake revealed its poor palatability and adverse performance among different categories of livestock including poultry. The present study was, therefore, aimed to detoxify karanj cake by various physico-chemical methods like solvent extraction, water washing, pressure cooking and alkali and acid treatments. The level of residual karanjin in raw and variously processed cake was quantified using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The raw expeller karanj cake was found to contain about 0.19% of karanjin. Though a non-polar solvent, soxhlet extraction of expeller pressed cake with petroleum ether drastically reduced karanjin content (0.01%). Soaking of cake for 24 h in 1% NaOH (w/w) solution was found to reduce karanjin to a major extent with little further benefit by increasing alkali level. Milder alkalies like lime and fertilizer grade urea reduced the karanjin levels marginally. Similar was the case with mineral acids such as HCl and glacial acetic acid. It was, therefore, concluded that solvent extraction of karanj seeds would be the best method of detoxification as well as for more recovery of oil and karanjin.

증류-추출의 조합에 의해 접촉분해경유(LCO)로부터 회수한 dimethylnaphthalene (DMN) 이성체 농축액을 원료로 사용하여 결정화조작을 행해 2,6-DMN의 정제를 검토했다. 2,6-DMN의 정제에 적합한 용매의 선정을 위해 13종의 용매(acetone, cyclohexanone, ethanol, ethyl ether, ethyl acetate, isopropyl ether, methanol, n-hexane, n-heptane, pyridine, THF, toluene, methanol과 acetone의 혼합용매)를 사용하여 결정화조작을 행한 결과, 60 vol% methanol과 40 vol% acetone의 혼합용매(M/A = 1.5)가 2,6-DMN의 순도 및 수율의 측면에서 우수한 정제성능을 보였다. 결정화 온도의 상승 및 용매(M/A = 1.5)/원료(농축액)의 체적비의 증가는 2,6-DMN의 순도를 향상시켰으나, 역으로 수율의 저하를 초래시켰다. DMN 이성체 농축액을 원료(10.43 wt% 2,6-DMN)로 사용한 결정화를 통해 회수한 결정(76 wt% 2,6-DMN)을 원료로 사용하여 재차 결정화조작을 행한 결과, 40%의 수율로 99.7 wt% 2,6-DMN의 결정을 얻을 수 있었다.

Membrane fouling is the main drawback of membrane technology. Frequent membrane cleaning and membrane replacement are, therefore, required to reduce membrane fouling that causes permeate flux reduction, lower rejection, or higher operating pressure. Studies have proved that the alteration of membrane properties is the key controlling factor in lessening membrane fouling. Among stimuli-responsive membranes, thermo-responsive membrane is the most popular, with a drastic phase transition and swelling-shrinking behavior caused by the temperature change. In this study, the thermo-responsive ability of two commercial membranes, PolyCera® Titan membrane and PolyCera® Hydro membrane, at different temperatures was studied on the antifouling function of the membrane in palm oil mill effluent (POME) treatment. The evaluation of the membrane's thermo-responsive ability was done through three cycles of adsorption (fouling) and desorption (defouling) processes in a membrane filtration process. The experimental result depicted that PolyCera® Hydro membrane had a higher membrane permeability of 67.869 L/㎡.h.bar than PolyCera® Titan membrane at 46.011 L/㎡.h.bar. However, the high membrane permeability of PolyCera® Hydro membrane was compensated with low removal efficiency. PolyCera® Titan membrane with a smaller mean pore size had better rejection performance than PolyCera® Hydro membrane for all tested parameters. On the other hand, PolyCera® Titan membrane had a better hydrodynamic cleaning efficiency than PolyCera® Hydro membrane regardless of the hydrodynamic cleaning temperature. The best hydrodynamic cleaning performed by PolyCera® Titan membrane was at 35℃ with the flux recovery ratio (FRR) of 99.17 ± 1.43%. The excellent thermo-responsive properties of the PolyCera® Titan membrane could eventually reduce the frequency of membrane replacement and lessen the use of chemicals for membrane cleaning. This outstanding exploration helps to provide a solution to the chemical industry and membrane technology bottleneck, which is the membrane fouling, thus reducing the operating cost incurred by the membrane fouling.

Heavy hydrocarbon reforming is a core technology for "Dirty energy smart". Heavy hydrocarbons are components of fossil fuels, biomass, coke oven gas and etc. Heavy hydrocarbon reforming converts the fuels into $H_2$-rich syngas. And then $H_2$-rich syngas is used for the production of electricity, synthetic fuels and petrochemicals. Energy can be used efficiently and obtained from various sources by using $H_2$-rich syngas from heavy hydrocarbon reforming. Especially, the key point of "Dirty energy smart" is using "dirty fuel" which is wasted in an inefficient way. New energy conversion laboratory of KAIST has been researched diesel reforming for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) as a part of "Dirty energy smart". Diesel is heavy hydrocarbon fuels which has higher carbon number than natural gas, kerosene and gasoline. Diesel reforming has difficulties due to the evaporation of fuels and coke formation. Nevertheless, diesel reforming technology is directly applied to "Dirty fuel" because diesel has the similar chemical properties with "Dirty fuel". On the other hand, SOFC has advantages on high efficiency and wasted heat recovery. Nippon oil Co. of Japan recently commercializes 700We class SOFC system using city gas. Considering the market situation, the development of diesel reformer has a great ripple effect. SOFC system can be applied to auxiliary power unit and distributed power generation. In addition, "Dirty energy smart" can be realized by applying diesel reforming technology to "Dirty fuel". As well as material developments, multidirectional approaches are required to reform heavy hydrocarbon fuels and use $H_2$-rich gas in SOFC. Gd doped ceria (CGO, $Ce_{1-x}Gd_xO_{2-y}$) has been researched for not only electrolyte materials but also catalysts supports. In addition, catalysts infiltrated electrode over porous $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}Ga_{0.8}Mg_{0.2}O_3-{\delta}$ and catalyst deposition at three phase boundary are being investigated to improve the performance of SOFC. On the other hand, nozzle for diesel atomization and post-reforming for light-hydrocarbons removal are examples of solving material problems in multidirectional approaches. Likewise, multidirectional approaches are necessary to realize "Dirty energy smart" like reforming "Dirty fuel" for SOFC.
