It rains heavily, such as long rain and typhoons, during a typical rainy season in Korea. In this season, several fuel contamination accidents by water and vehicular problems caused by water contaminated fuel occur. Many research groups have studied the effects of water contaminated fuel on vehicles and environment. However the characteristics of water contaminated fuel have not been studied. In this study, we prepared diesel samples with a constant ratio of water (0~30 volume %) using an emulsifier. Then, we analyzed these diesel samples for their representative fuel properties. In the analytical results, diesel with 30% water showed an increase in fuel properties such as density (823→883 kg/㎥), kinematic viscosity (2.601→6.345 ㎟/s), flash point (47→56℃), pour point (-22→2℃), CFPP (cold filter plugging point) (-17→20℃) and copper corrosion number (1a→2a). The low temperature characteristics, such as low pour point and CFPP, blocks the fuel filter in the cold season. In addition, water contaminated diesel decreases lubricity (190→410 ㎛) under high frequency reciprocating rig (HFRR) and derived cetane number (54.81→34.25). The low lubricity of fuel causes vehicle problem such as pump and injector damage owing to severe friction. In addition, the low cetane diesel fuel increases exhaust gases such as NOx and particulate matters (PM) owing to incomplete combustion. This study can be used to identify the problems caused by water contamination to vehicle and fuel facilities.

Over 30% of domestic soil contamination has occurred via petroleum products and complex oil. Moreover, contamination by complex oil is more intense than it is by a single petroleum product species. In this study, we analyzed sectional TPH (total petroleum hydrocarbon) pattern and sectional ratio of current domestically distributed petroleum products, such as kerosene, diesel, bunker C, and lubricant and complex oils, to determine pollution characteristics of the soil. In the TPH pattern, kerosene, which is a light distillate, had an early retention time, and lubricant oil, which is a heavy distillate, had a late retention time in the gas chromatogram. In addition, we obtained a complexly contaminated soil via diesel and lubricant oil from the Navy and inspected it for its ratio of complex oil species. The inspection results showed that this soil was contaminated with 85% diesel and 15% lubricant oil. The method developed in this study could be used to determine complex petroleum sources and ratios at sites with accidentally contaminated soil.

Bioremediation is often used for in situ remediation of petroleum-contaminated site. We studied the microbial degradation of hydrocarbon in an artificially diesel contaminated soil in laboratory microcosm. In control soil, about 30% of the initial TPH was diminished and the degradation of diesel oil was significantly enhanced by the addition of bioremediation agent (70% of TPH reduction).

압축착화엔진용 경유연료 세탄가는 연료의 착화성을 나타내는 연료의 주요 특성중의 하나이다. 기존 CFR 엔진을 이용한 세탄가 분석의 번거로움을 피하기 위해 세탄가를 세탄지수로 대체하여 사용하고 있으나, 현재 다양한 첨가제에 의한 세탄가와 세탄지수 값의 차이를 보이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 첨가제로서 바이오디젤, 등유유분, 세탄가향상제를 베이스경유에 일정 비율로 혼합한 뒤, 세탄가, 유도세탄가 및 세탄지수를 분석하였다. 연구결과, 첨가제에 의한 세탄가와 유도세탄가는 유사한 결과값을 보였지만 세탄지수는 바이오디젤과 세탄가향상제 첨가시 현저한 분석값 차이를 보였다.

The esterification of the reactants of Jatropha oil and methanol added by propyleneglycol was done using p-TSA catalyst. And then the emulsification of triglyceride and methanol was conduced by 1.0vol% GMS. The emulsified reactants were transesterified at $65^{\circ}C$ using TMAH and mixed catalyst (50wt%-TMAH+50wt%-NaOH) respectively. The esterification conversion at the 1:8 molar ratio of free fatty acid to methanol using 8.0wt% p-TSA was 94.7% within 80min. The overall conversion at the 1:8 molar ratio of mixed fat(50wt% Beef Tallow) to methanol and $65^{\circ}C$ using mixed catalyst was 95.4% The cloud point of Biodiesel decreased with the addition of petroleum diesel.

석유제품은 다양한 형태의 탄화수소화합물로 구성되어진 화합물로, 다른 종류의 액체류와 마찬가지로 온도변화에 따른 밀도와 부피의 변화가 발생한다. 액상에서 석유제품의 밀도를 측정하는 방법은 분별 증류된 각 석유제품에 대해 주로 얻어진 실험 데이터를 기반으로 한다. 본 연구에서는 등유와 자동차용 경유의 온도변화에 따른 밀도와 부피변화를 실제 측정하여 온도변화에 따른 변화추이를 분석하고, 국제규격인 ASTM에서 제시하는 밀도부피 환산표를 이용한 환산값을 계산하고 두 값을 비교분석하였다. 또한, 국내 계량 관련법에서 규정하고 있는 온도변화에 대한 기준과 실측값과의 상호 비교를 통해 차이점을 분석하였다.

일산화탄소(CO)와 수소($H_2$)로부터 Fischer-Tropsch반응을 통해 합성된 GTL (gas-to-liquid)연료는 친환경적인 연료로 기존의 석유디젤을 대체, 또는 혼합하여 사용될 수 있는 연료로 크게 관심을 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Shell사에서 생산된 GTL연료와 국내유통중인 석유디젤을 일정 비율로 혼합하여 농도 별 연료특성을 분석하였다. 가스크로마토그래피를 이용해 GTL이 일반디젤보다 긴 파라핀계 화합물로 구성되어져 있음을 확인하였으며, 높은 인화점, 증류성상, 동점도, 유도세탄가와 함께, 낮은 황분으로 인한 윤활성감소를 보여주었다.

Microalgae are aquatic microorganisms capable of photosynthetic growth using water, carbon dioxide and sunlight, and can replace petroleum for transportation. It is receiving great attention as a potential next-generation biological resource. The microalgae biodiesel production process is largely based on the development of highly efficient strains and mass production. It consists of cultivation, harvesting, oil extraction, fuel conversion and by-product utilization. Currently, microalgae diesel is 3-5 times more expensive than petroleum diesel. However, with the optimization of each element technology and the development of integrated systems, not only biofuels, but also industrial materials, wastewater treatment, and greenhouse gases As application expands to various fields such as abatement, the timing of commercialization may be brought forward. Oil prices have recently fallen due to the influence of sail gas. Although there has been a significant drop, global warming is an urgent challenge for current and future generations. In particular, Korea, which does not have oil resources, We must always prepare for political environmental changes, high oil prices, and energy crises. In this paper, the need for eco-friendly biofuel for carbon dioxide conversion. In addition to research trends, domestic and international research trends, and economic prospects, the concept of microalgae and the element technologies of the biodiesel production process are briefly discussed introduced.

Petroleum-contaminated soil is considered among the most important potential anthropogenic atmospheric methane sources. Additionally, various rhizoremediation factors can affect methane emissions by altering soil ecosystem carbon cycles. Nonetheless, greenhouse gas emissions from soil have not been given due importance as a potentially relevant parameter in rhizoremediation techniques. Therefore, in this study we sought to investigate the effects of different plant and soil amendments on both remediation efficiencies and methane emission characteristics in diesel-contaminated soil. An indoor pot experiment consisting of three plant treatments (control, maize, tall fescue) and two soil amendments (chemical nutrient, compost) was performed for 95 days. Total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) removal efficiency, dehydrogenase activity, and alkB (i.e., an alkane compound-degrading enzyme) gene abundance were the highest in the tall fescue and maize soil system amended with compost. Compost addition enhanced both the overall remediation efficiencies, as well as pmoA (i.e., a methane-oxidizing enzyme) gene abundance in soils. Moreover, the potential methane emission of diesel-contaminated soil was relatively low when maize was introduced to the soil system. After microbial community analysis, various TPH-degrading microorganisms (Nocardioides, Marinobacter, Immitisolibacter, Acinetobacter, Kocuria, Mycobacterium, Pseudomonas, Alcanivorax) and methane-oxidizing microorganisms (Methylocapsa, Methylosarcina) were observed in the rhizosphere soil. The effects of major rhizoremediation factors on soil remediation efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions discussed herein are expected to contribute to the development of sustainable biological remediation technologies in response to global climate change.

본 실험에서 사용된 균주는 유류에 오염된 지역의 토양시료로부터 직접 분리하였는데 본 실험에서는 백색 콜로니를 형성하는 W균주와 황색 콜로니를 형성하는 Y균주 그리고 두 균주의 복합균주인 WY 균주를 사용하였다. 단일 균주보다는 복합균주를 사용하였을 때 디젤유의 분해가 더 효과적이었으며 질소원의 첨가가 분해에 제한인자로 작용하였다. 비록 토양시스템의 분해효율은 액체상에서의 분해능에 비해 다소 떨어지지만, 통기의 조건 및 질소원의 첨가등으로 그 능력을 어느 정도 향상시킬 수 있었다. 한편 디젤유의 분해에는 생물학적인 측면 뿐 아니라 증발이나 휘발에 의해서도 상당량 감소하였는데 교반에 의해 또 오염토양의 제조공정중에 상당량이 휘발하는 것으로 보이며, 디젤의 용해도가 낮기 때문에 침출되는 양도 적을 것이라고 보여지고 이는 다른 논문에서도 보고된 바 있다(21, 22) 앞서 언급한 것처럼 본 실험에서는 통기와 질소원의 첨가를 통해 미생물에 의한 디젤유의 분해능을 향상시켰는데, 이 뿐만 아니라 더욱 효과적인 디젤유의 분해를 위해서는 복잡한 토양시스템에 관계된 여러 요소들을 최적화하여 분해능을 향상시키기 위한 실험이 수행되어야한다.
