Recently, the problem of global warming caused by greenhouse gases is getting serious due to the development of industry and the increase in transportation means. Accordingly, the need for a technology to reduce carbon dioxide, which accounts for most of the greenhouse gas, is increasing. Among them, a catalyst for converting carbon dioxide into fuel is being actively studied. Catalysts for reducing carbon dioxide are classified into thermal catalysts and photocatalysts. In particular, the photocatalyst has the advantage that carbon dioxide can be reduced only by irradiating ultraviolet rays at room temperature without high temperature or additional gas. TiO₂ is widely used as a photocatalyst because it is non-toxic and has high stability, but has a disadvantage of low carbon dioxide reduction efficiency. To increase the reduction efficiency, 1-propanol was used in the synthesis process. This prevents agglomeration of the catalyst and increases the specific surface area and pores of TiO₂, thereby increasing the surface area in contact with carbon dioxide. As a result of measuring the CO₂ reduction efficiency, it was confirmed that the efficiency of TiO₂ with 1-propanol and TiO₂ without 1-propanol was 19% and 12.3%, respectively, and the former showed a 1.5 times improved efficiency.

In Korea, as part of the Green New Deal project toward a carbon-neutral society, it is necessary to build a climate-resilient urban environment to green the city, space, and living infrastructure. To this end, SWMM-ING was improved and the model was modified to analyze the carbon reduction effect. In addition, I plan to select target watersheds where urbanization is rapidly progressing and evaluate runoff, non-point pollution, and carbon reduction effects to conduct cost estimation and optimal design review for domestic rainwater circulation green infrastructure. In this study, green infrastructure facilities were selected using SWMM-ING. Various scenarios were presented considering the surface area and annual cost of each green infrastructure facility, and The results show that the scenario derived through the APL2 method was selected as the optimal scenario. In this optimal scenario, a total facility area of 190,517.5 m² was applied to 7 out of 30 subwatersheds to achieve the target reduction. The target reduction amount was calculated a 23.50 % reduction in runoff and a 26.99 % reduction in pollutant load. Additionally, the annual carbon absorption was analyzed and found to be 385,521 kg/year. I aim to achieve additional carbon reduction effects by achieving the goal of reducing runoff and non-point pollution sources and analyzing annual carbon absorption. Moreover, considering the scale-up of these interventions across the basin, it is believed that an objective assessment of economic viability can be conducted.

본 연구에서는 시화반월산업단지에서 보편적으로 사용하고 있는 일반형 활성탄흡착탑과 활성탄 공동재생시스템 적용을 위해 개발된 카트리지형 활성탄흡착탑으로 개선하여 얻게 되는 환경적 효과분석을 고찰하였다. 일반형 활성탄흡착탑 4개소와 카트리지형 활성탄흡착탑 2개소를 선정하여 사용하고 있는 활성탄의 물성특성을 분석하고 환경오염물질의 저감효율을 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과, 카트리지형 활성탄 흡착탑에 사용되는 활성탄은 요오드흡착력 800 mg g^-1 이상의 양질의 활성탄으로 확인되었으며 교체주기내에서 양호한 수준으로 활성탄 흡착성능이 유지되는 것으로 확인되었다. 환경오염물질 저검효율 분석결과 카트리지형 활성탄 흡착탑의 경우 THC (Total Hydrocarbon), toluene 및 MEK (Methylethylketone) 성분의 처리효율이 각각 71%, 77% 및 80%로 좋은 처리효율을 보인 것으로 확인되었다. 일반형 활성탄 흡착탑은 처리효율이 매우 낮아 배출오염물질을 처리하는 방지시설로서의 역할을 제대로 하지 못하고 있었다. 일반형 활성탄 흡착탑을 카트리지형 활성탄 흡착탑으로 개선하여 운영 시 배출오염물질을 저감시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Since the late 20th century, countries of the world have made every effort to solve environmental problems due to global warming. The Korean Government has also made various efforts on reducing energy and $CO_2$ emission under the motto of "Low-Carbon Green Growth". In order to achieve the goal to reduce energy in the construction field, severe design standards and regulations on saving energy in new buildings have been established. However, for maximizing the reduction of energy in buildings, it is time to focus on deteriorated buildings where applications of energy saving designs and techniques have been insufficient. Especially, there are little guidelines and researches on reducing energy through remodeling at deteriorated school buildings which were built over 20 years ago. This paper suggests the priority of factors to reduce energy on the remodeling process at deteriorated school buildings using the AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) method. For applying the AHP method, the survey of staffs in the Education Offices and board members in the Korea Institute of Ecological Architecture and Environment was conducted via e-mail. As a result, factors of insulation, daylighting, system control, and windows turned out important in the energy reducing remodeling process at deteriorated school buildings, while factors of artificial lighting, solar heating, ventilation, and system did relatively unimportant.

A method for degradation of the perchlorate anion ($ClO{_4}^-$) has been studied using electrochemically generated zero-valent iron (ZVI) deposited on a porous carbon electrode. The first strategy of this study is to produce the ZVI via the electrochemical reduction of iron (II) on a porous carbon electrode coated with a conducting polymer, instead of employing expensive $NaBH_4$. The present method produced well distributed ZVI on conducting polymer (polypyrrole thin film) and increased surface area. ZVI surface can be regenerated easily for successive reduction. The second strategy is to apply a mild reducing condition (-0.3 V) to enhance the efficiency of the degradation of perchlorate with ZVI without the evolution of hydrogen. The electrochemically generated ZVI nanoparticles may offer an alternative means for the complete destruction perchlorate without evolution of hydrogen in water with high efficiency and at low cost.

This paper presents the results of fire resistance properties of high performance concrete varying with fiber kinds and the size of metal lath in order to verify the validities of fiber on the spatting resistance by fire. Metal lath, glass fiber and carbon fiber are used to confine the concrete. According to test results, plain concrete without lateral confinement and confined concrete with glass fiber and carbon fiber show entire failure after exposed to fire, while confined concrete with metal lath take place in the form of slight surface spatting by fire, which has favorable spatting resistance of concrete. As for the effect of the size of metal lath, when the size of metal lath is more than 1.2mm of thickness, the residual strength of concrete exposed to fire maintains more than 80% of its original strength. However, glass fiber and carbon fiber does not perform desirable spatting resistance by fire due to loss of lateral confinement of fiber exposed to fire caused by melting of fiber and reducing bond strength between concrete and fiber.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of PAC(Powder Activated Carbon) retention time on stable operation of high concentration powered activated carbon(HCPAC-MBR) in the treatment of secondary domestic wastewater. The pilot scale HCPAC-MBR system was operated at two different SRTs, 25 days and 100 days. The main drawback of HCPAC-MBR system was the rapid increase of trans-membrane pressure. The increase rate of trans-membrane pressure was proportional to SRT value at constant flux. This result seemed to be caused by reduced amount of EPS adsorbed on the PAC in the reactor by decreasing the SRT of the PAC. The particle size of the PAC was also influenced by SRT. The PAC size was decreased as SRT was increased. The change of particle size could be one reason for the change of trans-membrane pressure. The pore volume in the cake-layer formed on the membrane surface became to be increased by reducing SRT, because the cake-layer was highly composed of the PAC. Therefore, increased pore volume might play a role to reduce the trans-membrane pressure. The removal rate of E260 and TOC was also inversely proportional to SRT value.

The effect of mold density and evacuation on surface defect of high chromium cast iron upon EPC process was investigated. Under evacuation of $0.1{\sim}0.3$ atm, surface defects were carbon defect, burn on and misrun. Carbon defect was augmented by increasing mold density from 0.011 g/$cm^3$ to 0.03 g/$cm^3$ under evacuation of $0.1{\sim}0.3$ atm, but carbon defect was decreased by increasing evacuation from 0.1 to 0.3 atm. Burn-on wasn't found under evacuation of 0.1 atm regardless of mold density, but burn-on was augmented by increasing evacuation from 0.2 to 0.3 atm and decreased by reducing mold density. Misrun was only found under 0.1 atm evacuation and 0.011 g/$cm^3$ mold density.
