In the iron and steel manufacturing, sintering process precedes blast furnace to prepare feed materials by agglomerating powdered iron ore to form larger particles. There are several techniques which have devised to improve sintering production and productivity including flue gas recirculation(FGR) and additive gas enriched operation. The application of those techniques incurs variations of process configurations as well as inlet and outlet gas conditions such as temperature, composition, and flow rate which exert direct influence on reactions in the bed or the operation of the entire plant. In this study, an approach of sintering bed modeling using flowsheet process simulator was devised in consideration of FGR and the change of incoming and outgoing gas conditions. Results of modeling for both normal and FGR sintering process were compared in terms of outgoing gas temperature, concentration, and moisture distribution pattern as well as incoming gas conditions. It is expected to expand the model for various process configurations with FGR, which may provide the usefulness for design and operation of sintering plant with FGR.

질소, 아르곤, 이산화탄소와 같은 불활성가스 및 이들의 혼합물을 소화약제로 하여 n-Heptane을 연료로한 cup-burner test 장치에서 불꽃소화농도와 연소시 배가스의 조성을 측정하였다. 이성분 불활성가스계 혼합소화약제의 소화농도는 혼합물의 구성비를 이용한 모델에 의해 잘 예측됨을 알 수 있었다. 불활성 가스계 혼합 소화약제에 의한 소화작용에 있어서 혼합가스의 평균비중이 클수록 소화 성능이 우수하였다. 또한 밀폐된 공간의 구조가 소화에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 확인하였다. 연소시 배가스 중 이산화탄소 조성은 사용하는 소화약제의 양이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 일산화질소 발생은 소화약제의 질소 함량과는 상관이 없으며 공기유량을 크게 하여 불꽃을 크게 했을 때 검출되었다.

Nanoporous non-woven carbon fibers for a gas sensor were prepared from a pitch/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) mixed solution through an electrospinning process and their gas-sensing properties were investigated. In order to create nanoscale pores, magnesium oxide (MgO) powders were added as a pore-forming agent during the mixing of these carbon precursors. The prepared nanoporous carbon fibers derived from the MgO pore-forming agent were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), $N_2$-adsorption isotherms, and a gas-sensing analysis. The SEM images showed that the MgO powders affected the viscosity of the pitch/PAN solution, which led to the production of beaded fibers. The specific surface area of carbon fibers increased from 2.0 to $763.2m^2/g$ when using this method. The template method therefore improved the porous structure, which allows for more efficient gas adsorption. The sensing ability and the response time for the NO gas adsorption were improved by the increased surface area and micropore fraction. In conclusion, the carbon fibers with high micropore fractions created through the use of MgO as a pore-forming agent exhibited improved NO gas sensitivity.

This study examines the concentrations of particulate-phase polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and gas-phase PAHs in sidestream cigarette smoke. Sixteen PAHs were determined for four brands of cigarettes. The volume of the experimental room is approximately $66m^3$. The air samples in the room were collected before and after smoking. The median total of particulate-phase and gas-phase PAH concentrations before smoking $3.13ng/m^3$and $48.0ng/m^3$, respectively. The median concentrations of them after smoking were $10.0ng/m^3$ and $79.6ng/m^3$. The median increases in the total of 16 PAH concentrations per cigarette during smoking were 271 ng for the particulate-phase PAHs and 1960 ng for the gas-phase PAHs. According to the relationship between particulate-phase and gas-phase PAHs after smoking, the two- to four-ring gas-phase PAHs and the higher molecular weight particulate-phase PAHs were probably formed from similar precursors. The relationship between the total suspended particulate (TSP) concentration and the increase in the total particulate-phase concentration of the 16 PAHs per cigarette during smoking were significantly positive. The increase in the total gas-phase concentration of the 16 PAHs tended to increase as the TSP concentration increased. This may indicates that decreasing the amount of TSP produced inhibit the production of PAHs during smoking.

Recently, use of thick Al 5083 plate has increased in production of LNG storage tank. In general, multi-pass welding has been used to achieve sufficient penetration in thick plate welding. High current welding which enables high deposition and deep penetration is preferred in thick plate welding because the increase of number of pass increases manufacturing cost and formation of weld defect. In this study, welding characteristics according to various Ar/He shielding gas composition was investigated in high current MIG welding. The bead-on-plate welding and V groove welding were conducted on Al 5083 alloy with a thickness of .25 mm. The effect of shielding gas composition on bead shape was evaluated and proper shielding gas composition was proposed. Also arc stability was examined under selected shielding gas composition. One side-one pass welding experiments were conducted for V groove specimen with a thickness of 25 mm. Mechanical properties and hardness profiles were measured for the V groove specimens.

Flue gas recirculation (FGR) is widely adopted to control NO emission in combustion systems. Recirculated flue gas decreases flame temperature and reaction rate, resulting in the decrease in thermal NO production. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the recirculated flue gas in fuel stream, that is, the fuel induced recirculation (FIR), could enhance much improved reduction in NO per unit mass of recirculated gas, as compared to conventional FGR in air. In the present study, the effect of dilution methods in air and fuel sides on NO reduction has been investigated numerically by using $N_2$ and $CO_2$ as diluent gases to simulate flue gases. Counterflow diffusion flames were studied in conjunction with the laminar flamelet model of turbulent flames. Results showed that $CO_2$ dilution was more effective in NO reduction because of large temperature drop due to the larger specific heat of $CO_2$ compared to $N_2$. Fuel dilution was more effective in reducing NO emission than air dilution when the same recirculation ratio of dilution gas was used by the increase in the nozzle exit velocity, thereby the stretch rate, with dilution gas added to fuel side.

본 연구에서는 가상의 "흑곰-HY" 가스전을 대상으로 상용저류전산시뮬레이터인 "ECLIPSE 300"을 사용하여 가스저장전으로 전환에 대비한 기술적 타당성을 평가하고자 하였다. 이 저류층의 매장량은 143 BCF로서 소규모 가스전이며, 공극률과 투과도는 각각 19.5%와 50 md로 가스의 순환이 원활이 이루어질 수 있는 비교적 양호한 저류층이다. 이 저류층에 대하여 가스저장전으로의 전환시 핵심적 검토항목인 쿠션가스 양, 저장전으로의 전환시점, 운영사이클 변경, 가스정의 수 및 수평정 적용 가능성 등에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과, "흑곰-HY" 가스저장전에서 안정적인 가스저장을 위해서는 쿠션가스가 최소한 50% 이상이 되어야 함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 가스를 더 오랜기간동안 생산하기 위해 잔류가스를 적정 쿠션가스 양보다 적게 남겨두어도 추가로 쿠션가스만 주입하면 기술적으로는 아무 문제가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 가스를 5개월 대신 동절기 3개월간만 재생산하는 운영사이클의 경우에는 쿠션가스를 60% 이상으로 높여주거나 가스정의 수를 늘려야만 재생산이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 가스정의 수에 대한 분석결과에서는 6개와 8개인 경우에는 저류층내 잔류가스가 증가하여 정상적인 재생산이 불가능하므로 "흑곰-HY" 가스전에서는 최소 10개의 수직가스정이 운영되어야 함을 알 수 있었다. 이에 반해 2개의 기존 수직정에 3개의 수평정을 추가로 시추하게 되면 비교적 안정적인 주입과 재생산이 가능한 것으로 산출되었다.

Two mesophilic trickling bed bioreactors filled with two different types of media, hydrophilic- and hydrophobic-cubes, were designed and conducted for hydrogen production under the anaerobic fermentation of sucrose. Each bioreactor consisted of the column packed with polymeric cubes and inoculated with heat-treated sludge obtained from anaerobic digestion tank. A defined medium containing sucrose was fed by the different hydraulic retention time(HRT), and recycle rate. Hydrogen concentrations in gas-phase were constant, averaging 40% of biogas throughout the operation. Hydrogen production rate was increased till $10.5\;L{\cdot}h^{-1}{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of bioreactor when influent sucrose concentrations and recycle rates were varied. At the same time, the hydrogen production rate with hydrophobic media application was higher than its hydrophilic media application. No methane was detected when the reactor was under a normal operation. The major fermentation by-products in the liquid effluent of the both trickling biofilters were acetate, butyrate and lactate. In order to run in the long term operation of both reactor filled with hydrophilic and hydrophobic media, biofilm accumulation on hydrophilic media and biogas produced should be controlled through some process such as periodical backwashing or gas-purging. Four sample were collected from each reactor on the opposite hydrogen production rate, and their bacterial communities were compared by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis of PCR products generated using bacterial 16s rRNA gene primers (8f and 926r). It was expressed a marked difference in bacterial communities of both reactors. The trickling bed bioreactor with hydrophobic media demonstrates the feasibility of the process to produce hydrogen gas. A likely application of this reactor technology can be hydrogen gas recovery from pre-treatment of high carbohydrate-containing wastewaters.
