In this research, the environmental behavior of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) was investigated in a mountainous site in the proximity of a highly industrialized megacity, Seoul, Korea. The concentration data of $CO_2$ monitored routinely at hourly intervals at Mt. Gwan-Ak (GA), Seoul, Korea throughout 2009 were analyzed in several respects. The mean $CO_2$ value was $405{\pm}12.1$ ppm (median=403 ppm) with a range of 344 to 508 ppm (N=8548). The analysis of its seasonal trend indicated that the $CO_2$ levels peaked in the winter but reached a minimum in fall. If the short-term trend is analyzed, the $CO_2$ values generally peaked during daytime along with the presence of two shoulders; this is suspected to be indicative of strong man-made effects (e.g., traffic activities). It is seen that the general patterns of $CO_2$ distribution in this study area are highly comparable to those typically found in urban areas with strong signals of anthropogenic activities.

In this study, a Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) sensor with an externally exposed optical cavity is proposed for improving sensitivity. NDIR CO₂ sensors with high performance must use a lamp-type infrared (IR) source with a strong IR intensity. However, a lamp-type IR source generates high thermal energy that induces thermal noise, interfering with the accuracy of the CO₂ concentration measure. To solve this problem, the optical cavity of the NDIR CO₂ sensor is exposed to quickly dissipate heat. As a result, the proposed NDIR CO₂ sensor has a shorter warm-up time and a higher sensitivity compared to the conventional NDIR CO₂ sensor.

지하철 객실은 고농도의 이산화탄소로 오염되기 쉬운데, 이로 인하여 지하철 승객의 졸림, 두통, 무력감 등을 야기하기 쉽다. 이 때문에 환경부에서는 2007년에서는 열차와 지하철 객실의 이산화탄소 농도에 대한 가이드라인을 정한 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 지하철 객차용 이산화탄소 저감 시스템을 개발하고 실험용 객차를 이용하여 성능시험을 수행하였다. 다양한 종류의 개질 제올라이트를 이산화탄소 흡착제로 사용하여 지하철 객실 내부의 이산화탄소 농도를 저감할 수 있었다.

In this study, carbon aerogel (CA) was synthesized using a soft-template method, and the optimum conditions for the adsorption of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) by the carbon aerogel were evaluated by controlling the activation temperature. KOH was used as the activation agent at a KOH/CA activation ratio of 4:1. Three types of activated CAs were synthesized at activation temperatures of $800^{\circ}C$(CA-K-800), $900^{\circ}C$(CA-K-900), and $1000^{\circ}C$(CA-K-1000), and their surface and pore characteristics along with the $CO_2$ adsorption characteristics were examined. The results showed that with the increase in activation temperature from 800 to $900^{\circ}C$, the total pore volume and specific surface area sharply increased from 1.2165 to $1.2500cm^3/g$ and 1281 to $1526m^2/g$, respectively. However, the values for both these parameters decreased at temperatures above $1000^{\circ}C$. The best $CO_2$ adsorption capacity of 10.9 wt % was obtained for the CA-K-900 sample at 298 K and 1 bar. This result highlights the importance of the structural and textural characteristics of the carbon aerogel, prepared at different activation temperatures on $CO_2$ adsorption behaviors.

According to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), many countries around the world have been concerned with reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Reducing the level of building energy consumption is particularly important in bringing GHG down. Because of this, many countries including the US and the EU are enforcing energy-related policies. However, these policies are focused on management of single types of buildings such as public buildings and office buildings, instead of management on a national level. Thus, although various policies have been enforced in many countries, $CO_2$ management on a national level is still not an area of focus. Therefore, this study proposed a community-based $CO_2$ management process that allows government-led GHG management. The minimum unit of the community in this study is a plot, and the process consists of three steps. First, the current condition of the GHG emission was identified by plot. Second, based on the identified results, the GHG emission reduction target was distributed per plot by reflecting the weighted value according to (i) the target $CO_2$ reduction in the buildings in the standard year, (ii) region, and (iii) building usage and size. Finally, to achieve the allocated target reduction, building energy management was executed according to the properties of the building located on each plot. It can be expected that the proposed community-based $CO_2$ management process will enable government-level GHG management, through which environment-friendly building construction can be promoted.

본 연구에서는 연소 배기가스로부터 포집된 이산화탄소를 다시 일산화탄소 또는 탄소로 전환하여 산업에 다시 활용하고자 하는 탄소순환형 기술개발이 목적이다. 그러나 이산화탄소는 안정한 화합물로 쉽게 분해되지 않기 때문에 적합한 금속계 산화물(활성화제)이 필요하며, 가능한 낮은 온도에서 분해되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 바륨페라이트 분말을 사용하여 $CO_2$를 CO나 C로 전환하고자 하였다. 바륨페라이트는 산업계에서 사용되고 있는 고상법을 이용하여 제조된 분말과 수열합성을 이용해 제조된 분말을 사용하여 각각 이산화탄소 분해특성 연구를 수행하였다. 이산화탄소의 분해 특성을 관찰하기 위해 TPR/TPO와 TGA 장치를 사용하였다. TPR/TPO를 이용한 수소에 의한 환원곡선 면적과 $CO_2$에 의한 흡착분해 곡선면적을 측정한 결과 수열합성을 이용해 제조된 바륨페라이트 분말이 우수한 성능을 나타내었다. 그러나 TGA를 이용한 실험결과에서는 $500^{\circ}C$에서 고상법에 의해 제조된 시료가 수소에 의한 흡착환원이 21.96wt% 발생하였고, $CO_2$에 의한 산화량도 21.24wt%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 그리고 이산화탄소의 분해 효율이 96.72wt%로 우수한 산화 환원 특성을 나타내었다.

Low density polyethylene (LDPE) has been researched in many industrial applications, and LDPE/zeolite 4A composites has been extensively studied for many applications such as microporous, breathable film and so on. LDPE/zeolite composite have a great potential for carbon dioxide adsorption film due to its high adsorption ability. In this study, LDPE/zeolite 4A composites with various contents were prepared by melt mixing process, and co-extrusion process was applied to develop a $CO_2$ adsorption conventional film and foamed film. The thermal, rheological, mechanical, physical and morphological properties of composite films has been characterized, and $CO_2$ adsorption of the composite films evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and the performance was found to be about 18 cc/g at 30.9 wt% of the zeolite content.

본 연구에서는 이산화탄소 흡수/재생 공정에 효율적으로 적용할 수 있는 아미노산염 흡수제의 연속재생을 통해 재생효율을 확인하였다. 재생효율은 공정적용에 있어 경제성에 큰 영향을 끼치는 인자로, 보다 경제성 있는 이산화탄소 흡수/재생 공정 확립을 위해 연속재생 실험을 진행하였다. 실험에 사용한 아미노산염은 Potassium L-lysinate와 Potassium L-alaninate이며, 각 아미노산과 Potassium hydroxide(KOH)를 1:2 몰비로 혼합하여 사용하였다. 흡수제의 재생 효율을 확인하기 위해 두 물질에 이산화탄소를 충분히 흡수시킨 후 가열을 통해 이산화탄소 탈리실험을 진행하였다. 반응초기에는 L-alanine의 반응속도가 빠르게 이루어졌으나, 시간이 지남에 따라 흡수량이 보다 큰 L-lysine이 높은 농도의 이산화탄소를 배출하였다. 두 물질의 재생효율을 비교하였을 때, L-alanine은 47.26%, L-lysine은 62.11%로 L-lysine이 더 높은 재생효율을 나타내었다. 흡수량 및 재생효율이 좋은 L-lysine을 이용한 연속재생 실험결과, 재생횟수가 증가함에 따라 재생효율이 감소하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.
