Powdered additive or organic filler is used to improve paperboard thickness and to reduce drying energy consumption in the Korean paperboard industry. In a previous study, we identified alternative non-lignocellulosic resources to wood powder, specifically brewers grain and oil palm frond powders, and verified that these materials had the same functionality as wood powder. The main drawback of the use of such additives, including both lignocellulosic and non-lignocellulosic resources, is the deterioration in paperboard strengths. Therefore, we carried out a basic study on the surface modification of brewers grain and oil palm frond powders to improve the strengths of paperboard. Surface modification was performed using various types of cationic and oxidized starches. The streaming current and zeta-potential of the two non-lignocellulosic powders were measured and CLSM images were taken to assess the surface modification.

As an apartment house as well as improving quality of life is becoming one of the brands, it is increasing the importance of the outer space with the facilities in the housing complex. In particular, the outdoor playground such as the community facilities that children and adults share as the activity areas for residents has received attention. However, actually children have not used many of Korean apartment housing playgrounds that were installed formally in the scrap area according to the housing plan by residential construction standards. it is considered necessary to improve the quality of the playground in housing complex and reform it in order to make the eco-friendly play space in which children can play safely and h healthily. As an alternative, we analyzed the eco-friendly properties of the playgrounds installed in the eco-friendly housing complex in Germany and derived the main planning elements of eco-friendly playground. In the observational survey of the 10 playgrounds in 9 housing complexes in 5 regions in Germany, we evaluated the environment-friendliness of these playgrounds in the 8 fields(location and placement, ecological environment, play space, play equipment and facilities, additional facilities, materials and resources, energy saving, environmental load reduction) according to the levels(suitable, partial reflection, unsuitable, non-reflection) of reflection of eco-friendly planning factors. The following is the summary of the results about the reflection of eco-friendly planning factors. In terms of "suitable": location and placement(88.8%), play equipment and facilities(73.5%), additional facilities(60.6%), environmental load reduction(54%), and ecological environment(50%) were higher than others. In terms of "unsuitable": there was nothing. In terms of "non-reflection": energy saving(95%), additional facilities(32.2%), and materials and resources(30.9%) were in order. Therefore, on the basis of these results, this study proposed the planning indicators to be considered first and the planning factors that should be complemented and improved in the construction of apartment housing playground in future.

석유가스 탐사 분야에서는 자료 취득 효율성을 개선하기 위한 대안으로 다양한 무선 탄성파 탐사 장비들이 개발되었다. 그러나 현재 상용화된 무선 탄성파 탐사 장비는 높은 가격대를 형성하고 있으므로 작은 규모의 연구용 장비 구축이 어렵다. 이 때 비교적 적은 비용으로 탐사 장비 제작 및 구현이 가능한 오픈소스 하드웨어를 통해 직접 장비를 만들어 실험하는 것이 무선 탄성파 장비의 학술적 활용을 위한 한가지 대안이 될 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 오픈소스 하드웨어 중 아두이노를 이용하여 무선으로 탄성파 자료를 취득하기 위한 모듈을 개발하였다. 무선 탄성파 탐사 장비는 하나의 수신 장비에서 신호 감지, 간단한 전처리, 저장이 모두 이루어져야 한다. 탄성파 신호를 감지하는 센서로는 육상 탄성파 탐사에서 사용되는 지오폰을 활용하였으며, 이를 아두이노 회로와 연결하여 감지된 신호를 처리하고 저장하는 모듈을 구현하였다. 아두이노를 사용하여 구축된 모듈에는 전처리, 아날로그-디지털 변환, 자료저장 등 크게 3가지 기능이 포함된다. 제작한 단일 채널 모듈은 여러 송신원으로부터 취득한 신호를 취합하여 공통 수신점 모음을 구성할 수 있다.

Since seeds can be directly used as food resources as well as for crop cultivation or preservation of genetic resources, it is essential to develop high-quality seed processing technology to increase agricultural productivity. Seed treatment means processing technologies of seeds through physical or chemical treatment processes from after harvesting seeds to before sowing of seeds to improve germination and growth rate, durability, and immunity, etc. Since chemical seed treatment technology using pesticides or plant growth regulators has problems of environmental pollution and human toxicity, it is desired to develop an alternative technology. As a physical seed treatment method, various technologies such as ionizing radiation, plasma, microwave, and magnetic field are being developed, and some of them are being used practically. In this paper, I will summarize the mechanism of seed priming and disinfection, and the advantages and disadvantages of application, focusing on these physical seed treatment methods. Low dose or moderate intensity ionizing radiation, microwave, low-temperature plasma, and magnetic field treatments often promoted seed germination and seedling growth. However, effective removal of direct seed pathogens at these treatment intensities appears to be difficult. And it has been shown that relatively high-dose electron beam treatment using low-energy electron beams kills microorganisms on the seed surface and hull layer while not damaging the inner tissue of the seed, and is also effectively used for seed treatment on a commercial scale. In order to put the physical seed treatment technology to practical use in Korea, it is necessary to develop an economical scale treatment device along with the development of individual treatment technology to each crop.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the content of environmental inquiry activities and values of elementary school students written in their reports of the Energy Environment Inquiry Activity Contest which is a unit contest of the Youth Science Festival held annually in Korea and get some ideas for the valuable way of Korean environmental education. 10 teams' reports were gathered and the locality, class study area, inquiry theme, inquiry method and values were analyzed and introduced as case studies to get some insights to teach elementary school students environmental values through inquiry activities of science subject approach. Each teams set various inquiry themes in the content domain of energy resources and earth environment conservation focusing on each team's geographical characteristics and occurring environmental problems in their local areas. There were 16 sentences representing technocentrism and 12 sentences representing ecocentrism. 5 of 10 teams showed both of technocentrism and ecocentrism in their reports. But their was only scientific knowledge without any environmental values in one team's report. Inquiry activity is a good teaching-learning method to develop environmental literacy. There should be environmental values involved as far as it is the environmental inquiry activities using environmental subject matter. The result of this study proposes that environmental educators should actively intervene for inquirers to set a stage in the whole process to search for an alternative to solve environmental problems involved in their project activities. The reason is because the environmental education in the elementary school is established to operate by the infusion way into various subjects already existed in the Korean curriculum.

석유자원 고갈에 따른 대체에너지 개발의 필요성과 더불어 온실가스인 $CO_{2}$ 저감 등 높은 환경개선 효과로 인하여 새로운 청정연료로 바이오매스로부터 제조되는 BTL(Biomass to Liquid)-디젤에 대한 관심이 유럽을 중심으로 크게 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 BTL-디젤 기술 개발 현황 및 BTL 공정의 세부 공정기술들을 조사하였다. BTL 공정은 바이오매스 전처리 및 가스화, 합성가스 정제, F-T(Fischer-Tropsch) 합성 및 upgrading 공정 등으로 나눌 수 있으며, BTL 만의 차별적 기술로 합성가스 제조를 위한 가스화 공정과 함성가스 조성 조절을 포함하는 BTL 공정에 최적화된 F-T 합성 촉매 개발이 매우 중요하다. 대표적인 BTL 기술로 독일의 Choren 사는 Carbo-V 가스화 기술을 개발하여 세계 최초로 BTL 공정 상업화를 이루었으며, 네덜란드의 ECN은 tar와 BTX를 제거하기 위한 독자적인 OLGA 기술을 개발하여 가스화 시스템과 연계한 공정을 개발하였다. 또한 미국과 일본 등 많은 나라에서 경쟁적으로 기술개발을 재촉하고 있는 상황이다. 국내의 경우 이에 대한 연구는 전무하나 국내 에너지 안보를 위한 에너지 Mix 정책과 지구온난화 등 환경문제에 대응하기 위하여 BTL 기술 개발은 매우 중요한 의미를 가질 수 있으므로 독창적 기술의 선점이 매우 중요할 것으로 판단된다.

석탄화력발전소들은 여전히 저급 석탄인 lignite와 bituminous coal을 이용한 발전이 이루어지고 있지만, 이는 CO₂와 같은 GHG를 배출하는 문제를 유발하고 고갈의 위험성이 있어 이를 대체할 에너지원이 필요하다. 이를 해결하기 위해 바이오매스를 이용한 hydrochar 생산이 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고품질 hydrochar의 생산을 위해 용매열법을 열수탄화에 적용하여 에탄올 수용액을 기반으로 진행되었다. 본 실험은 다양한 조건에 따른 영향을 파악하기 위해 케나프를 이용해 고액비(1:4, 1:8, 1:2), 반응온도(150~300 ℃)와 체류시간(15~120분)을 다양하게 변화하며 진행되었다. 또한 생산된 hydrochar의 특성을 파악하기 위해 EA, FT-IR. TGA와 SEM을 이용해 분석을 진행하였다. Hydrochar의 탄소 함량은 kenaf에 비해 48.11% 증가하였고, 휘발성 물질은 39.34%가 감소하였다. 추가적으로 반응온도에 따라 연료적 특성이 강화되는 것 또한 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 나타난 결과는 kenaf가 열수탄화와 용매열법을 통해 연료 대체재로써 변화하는 것을 확인하였으며, 이는 석탄의 새로운 대체재가 될 수 있는 가능성을 보였다.

지열은 외부 연료 공급요건에 영향을 받지 않고 연중 가동할 수 있는 장점을 가지기 때문에 최근 해외에서 주목받고 있는 대체 에너지원이다. 그리고 국내의 온천 및 지열이상대는 화강암 지역의 심부 파쇄대를 통한 지열수의 순환에 의한 것이 대부분으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 국내에서의 지열탐사는 지하유체의 주요 통로인 심부 파쇄대의 분포상황을 정확하게 파악하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 석모도에서 취득한 수직 탄성파탐사(Vertical Seismic Profiling, VSP) 자료의 전처리와 심부 파쇄대의 영상화를 수행하기 위하여 급경사 파쇄대 지역과 퇴적층 구조를 모사한 속도모델로부터 합성탄성파 자료를 생성하고, 이 자료에 일반적인 VSP 자료처리기법과 급경사 파쇄대를 고려한 VSP 자료처리기법을 각각 적용한 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 파쇄대에 의한 반사 이벤트의 손실을 없애기 위해서는 단순히 모든 하향파를 제거하는 일반적인 전처리 과정이 아닌 파쇄대를 고려한 전처리 과정이 필요하다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 파쇄대를 고려한 전처리 과정이 수행된 석모도 거꿀 수직 탄성파탐사(Reversed VSP, RVSP) 현장자료에 3차원 겹쌓기전 위상막 참 반사보정을 적용하여 석모도 탐사현장의 지하구조를 영상화하였다. 참 반사보정 결과 파쇄대로 추정되는 구조가 확인되었으며, 이는 시추공 자료에서 추정되는 균열대의 심도와 일치하였다.
