Thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR) was conducted in autoclave on the system of crude oil and $MgSO_4$ at different temperatures. Gas chromatography pulsed flame photometric detector (GC-PFPD) was used to detected the composition of organic sulfur compounds in oil phase products. The results of the analysis indicate that with increased temperature, the contents of organic sulfur compounds with high molecular weight and thermal stability, such as benzothiophenes and dibenzothiophenes, gradually became dominated. In order to gain greater insight into the formation and distribution of organic sulphur compounds from TSR, positive ion electrospray Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) was used in detecting the detailed elemental composition and distribution of them. The mass spectra showed that the mass range of sulfur compounds was 200-550 Da. Four sulfur class species, $S_1$, $N_1S_1$, $O_1S_1$ and $O_2S_1$, were assigned in the positive-ion spectrum. Among the identified sulfur compounds, the $S_1$ class species was dominant. The most abundant $S_1$ class species increase associated with the DBE value and carbon number increasing which also indicates the evolution of organic sulfur compounds in TSR is from the labile series to the stable one. In pure blank pyrolysis experiments with crude oil cracking without TSR, different composition and distribution of organic sulfur compounds in oil phase products were seen from mass spectra in order to evaluate their pyrolysis behaviors without $MgSO_4$. FT-IR and XRD were used in analyzing the products of solid phases. Two distinct crystallographic phases MgO and $MgSO_4$ are found to coexist in the products which demonstrated the transformation of inorganic sulfur compounds into organosulfur compounds exist in TSR.

Recently a novel bio refinery process with using nonedible biomass, especially microalgae, has been developed in order to directly reduce $CO_2$ concentration from flue gas and simultaneously produce renewable bio fuel. Micro algae-to-biofuel processes are composed of microalgae cultivation, harvesting, lipid extraction, and bio fuel conversion. So, there are concerns about the energy efficiencies of bio refinery processes. In this study, the net energy ratio of microalgae processes were calculated for the microalgae produced from a pilot photobioreacto using $CO_2$ released from coal combustion. In this study, trans-esterification and pyrolysis processes were used to analyze the net energy efficiencies. Micro algae-to-biofuel processes might produce bio fuels with the higher energy than that of the total consumed energy for cultivation, harvesting, extraction and conversion. If the lipid content of microalgae was higher, the trans-esterification conversion process was more effective than that of pyrolysis process.

In order to examine the constituents and weathered state of a lacquer specimen, analysis of the organic materials was conducted using py/GC/MS(pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry). The samples were obtained from the lacquered wooden sheath of a long ring-pommel sword excavated in the Imdang No.1 ancient tomb constructed around the Proto-Three Kingdoms period. In direct py/GC/MS, the sample and the dried Asian lacquer showed similar chromatograms, while the characteristic compounds of Asian lacquer such as 1,2-dimethoxy-3-pentadecylbenzene were observed in THM(thermally assisted hydrolysis and methylation)-py/GC/MS. In addition, compounds like dimethyl nonanedioate, which presumably originated from drying oil, were also detected. Furthermore, the detection of oxidized catechols in considerable amount indicated that the degradation of lacquer is estimated to result from the oxidation of urushiol. Therefore, it is suggested that the lacquered wooden sheath was prepared using Asian lacquer and drying oil, and that the lacquer layer was considerably oxidized over the long burial time.

ZnO shows a direct band gap of 3.37eV, large exciton binding energy (~60 meV), high oxidation ability, high sensitivity to many gases, and low cost, and it has been used in various applications such as transparent electrodes, light emitting diodes (LEDs), gas sensors and photocatalysts. Among these applications ZnO as photocatalyst has considerably attracted attention over the past few years because of its high activities in removing organic contaminants generated from industrial activities. In this research, ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by spray-pyrolysis method using the zinc acetate dihydrate as starting material at synthesis temperature of $900^{\circ}C$ with concentration varied from 0.01 to 1.0M. The physical and chemical properties of the synthesized ZnO nanoparticles were examined by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transformation Infrared (FT-IR), and UV-vis spectroscopy. The Miller indices of XRD patterns indicate that the synthesized ZnO nanoparticles showed a hexagonal wurtzite structure. With increased precursor concentration, a primary, secondary particle sizes of ZnO nanoparticles increased by 0.8 to $1.5{\mu}m$ and 15 to 35nm, and their crystallinity was improved. Methyleneblue (MB) solution ($1{\mu}M$) as a test comtaminant was prepared for evaluating the photocatalytic activities of ZnO nanoparticles synthesized in different precursor concentration. The results show that the photocatalytic efficiency of ZnO nanoparticles was gradually enhanced by increased precursor concentration.

In this study, an amorphous SiC block was manufactured using polycarbosilane (PCS), an organosilicon polymer. The dense SiC blocks were easily fabricated in various shapes via pyrolysis at 1100℃, 1200℃, 1300℃, 1400℃ after manufacturing a PCS molded body using cured PCS powder. Physical and chemical properties were analyzed using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and universal testing machine (UTM). The prepared SiC block was decomposed into SiO and CO gas as the temperature increased, and β-SiC crystal grains were grown in an amorphous structure. In addition, the density and flexural strength were the highest at 1.9038 g/㎤ and 6.189 MPa of SiC prepared at 1100℃. The manufactured amorphous silicon carbide block is expected to be applicable to other fields, such as the previously reported microwave assisted heating element.

The pyrolytlc behavior of cocoa powder, a flavorant of tobacco smoking products, was examined by determining its pyrolyzate constituents. Cocoa powder was pyrolyzed of two cigarette smoking conditions'distillation-pyrolysis zone(35$0^{\circ}C$, 55$0^{\circ}C$) and high temperature zone($650^{\circ}C$, 85$0^{\circ}C$). Pyrolyzate was flushed from the tube by NB gas into CS2 trap in dry ice-acetone cooled bath and charcoal tube and its constituents were analyzed by GC/MS. As results, the major components of pyrolyzates were identified as hydrocarbon and phenolic compounds. In addition to these, aldehyde, ketone, pyrazin in very small amount. Component changes were observed with temperature increase; decane, styrene, tridecane, m-cresol,4-ethylphenol were increased while hexadecane, tetradecane were decreased. o-cresol and 2-ethylphenol were constant in amounts despite temperature change.

A fire phenomenon of a solid such as wood involves a phenomenon in which solid is heated from the outside and the gas generated through the thermal pyrolysis process of the material is burnt. The thermal pyrolysis phenomenon of the solid is a phenomenon in which the amount of energy incident from the outside, the amount of heat dissipation of the solid material, the heat transfer between the solid material and the surroundings including the amount of heat transfer to the air adjacent to the solid surface, and the fraction of oxygen in the air. In this paper, we calculate the required ignition temperature to simulate the fire phenomenon as simple as possible. By using cone calorimeter, the ignition time was measured by variously controlling the heat flux flowing into the wood specimen by using various wood specimens. The user friendly program is developed for calculation of the ignition temperature. Five different woods such as low density MDF, high density MDF, plywood, douglas fir and PB with various thickness are considered. The ignition temperatures suggested in this paper can be used for fire propagation analysis for woods.

Coumarin was pyrolyzed at $500^{\circ}C$ in a stream of nitrogen. The pyrolyzates of coumarin were adsorbed on the activated charcoal and then eluded by carbon disulfide. The eluted pyrolyzates were identified using a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Benzene, toluene, phenylacetylene, styrene, benzofuran and naphthalene were detected from the pyrolyzates of coumarin on the basis of their mass spectra. The pyrolytic mechanism of coumarin was also discussed.

The DDS((CH3)2SiCl2)＋H2 gas mixture, where C atoms exist in excess in the molecules, was used for chemical vapor deposition of SiC in order to prevent codeposition of free Si in MTS(Ch3SiCl3)＋H2 system. The deposition rate was more rapid than MTS, however differ from that of MTS, it decreased after shwoing a maximum at 140$0^{\circ}C$. The stoichiometry was highly improved by using the DDS as a precursor, although there exist a little pyrolytic C at 150$0^{\circ}C$. The preferred orientation was (220) in MTS, however, it changed to (111) in DDS. The microstructure of the layer deposited at lower temperature were dense, however it grew coarse with the increase in the temperature.
