An experimental study on oil absorbent was conducted to investigate the feasibility of utilizing absorbents in oil separation from water-oil mixture for spilt oil recovery. Experiments included investigations of absorptivity and filtering performance of a commercial oil absorbent for different diesel oil concentrations. The measured average absorptivity of the absorbent was above 92% for oil concentrations, 5, 10, 15vo1%, that shows good absorbing performance. Filtering the oil-water mixture, however, was too slow to be used for oil separation. An absorbent baffle system was suggested for oil separation which collects oil panicles by increasing contact between the absorbent and oil particles.

Experimental studies were carried out to develop oil-absorbent using curdlan solution or gel. Curdlan sponge was prepared by freeze drying. Surface of curdlan sponge was observed with Scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Curdlan sponge absorbed more than 9 times oil and curdlan was recovered by gellation. Curdlan solution gelled at higher temperature than 50$^{\circ}C$ and dissolved at pH 11.0 and viscosity of curdlan solution increased at 40∼50$^{\circ}C$.

The amount of petroleum consumption has been Increased according to the industrialization and It leads to the increase of the possibility of marine oil pollution. In Korea, some countermeasures including oil skimmer, gelling agent and herding agent of oil have been used for the remediation of the pollution. However, most of them have lets of shortcomings in the application under in-situ condition, because they are sensitive to the situation such as geographical feature, the wind and the tide. In reported literature, the natural powdered oil absorbent which is made of peat moss is an effective mean to clean spilled oil from lake or coast. However, the peat moss is a natural resource which is only Produced from a specific cold weather are like Canada. This indicates that the alternative materials which is readily obtained from everywhere are needed for powdered oil absorbent. Therefore. in the study, same natural materials including pine leaves and straw are tested as the alternative materials for the absorbent. The raw materials were dried and treated by heat at various temperature during several Periods and then. shattered by a grain cracking machine. The oil sorption capacity of the prepared materials was compared according to the methods of heat treatment and their sizes. The proportion of hydrogen cyanide to combustion of the absorbents was measured to confirm their final disposal methods. The biodegradability test of the absorbents was carried our to evaluate possibility of a side pollution in the coast. In was found that the heat treatment of pine leaves enhanced the capacity of oil sorption and decreased the water sorption. The maximum oil sorption was observed for the material treated at 18$0^{\circ}C$for 60 min. The amount of hydrogen cyanide from the combustion were 0.09ml/g, 0.07ml/g for pine leaves and straw respectively meaning that the final disposal by combustion might be feasible. The amount or organic carbon extracted from pine leaves during 7 days was up to 0.015g organic carbon from one gram of pine leaves. but the degradation was as fast as for glucose. It is concluded that the pine leaves can be served as a good raw material for the powdered oil absorbent like peat moss.

탄산칼슘과 염산 수용액에 폴리프로필렌 섬유를 침지시켜 표면에 염화칼슘 결정을 생성시킴으로써 발열 흡착포를 제작하였다. 발열 흡착포를 유출 기름으로 인해 유막이 형성된 해수면에 적용하면 염화칼슘 결정이 주변의 수분을 흡수하여 이온화되면서 용해열을 방출한다. 염화칼슘의 용해열을 유동점 이하의 저온에서 응고된 저유황 중질유를 액화시켜 흡유 가능한 상태로 전환시킨다. 발열 흡착포의 제작을 위해 폴리프로필렌 표면에 염화칼슘 결정을 생성시키기 위한 탄산칼슘과 염산의 최적 몰농도는 각각 0.25 M과 0.5 M이다. 저유황 중질유 발열 흡착포의 흡유능은 해수 온도에 따라 다르지만, 우리나라 인근 해역의 동절기 평균 수온인 10℃에서 4.5-7.08 g/g으로 매우 우수하였다. 염화칼슘 발열 흡착포를 사용하면 동절기 선박사고로 인하여 해양에 유출된 저유황 중질유를 효과적으로 흡유하여 제거할 수 있다.

아민계열 화학흡수제와 다른 화합물과의 혼합용액이 중화반응을 통해 악취가스를 제거하는 사실이 알려져 왔다. 이러한 혼합용액 중 식물추출물의 식물정유 성분은 그 자체로 만으로도 악취가스 20~40% 이상 제거능을 가지며 0.2% 아민계열 흡수제와의 혼합용액은 악취가스의 98% 이상의 제거효율을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 악취가스인 암모니아가스와 황화수소가스를 제거하기 위해 온도와 pH 운전조건에 따라 식물정유물질과 아민계열의 화학흡수제 등을 이용하여 적정운전조건을 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 식물정유 성분 중 모노테르펜의 성분을 분석하기 위하여 GC-MS분석방법을 사용하였으며 그들의 반응메카니즘의 일부가 규명되었다.

The preparation of oil absorbent using waste polyurethane was studied. And the effects of shape, size, and contents of waste polyurethane foam was investigated. The waste foam was treated in shape of powder, cube and bar type generated from rigid sandwich panel process. The tests for flexural strength, combustibility, and water absorptivity were carried out to investigate the mechanical and physical properties of the recycled foams. And the cell microstructure was evaluated through Scanning Electron Micrograph. The recycled foam containing powder-shaped underfilled and showed poor properties that was generated through reactivity of the resins and increasing of slurry viscosity. For the recycled foam with the cube and bar-shaped, the underfilling was caused by interference between the waste PUFs and increasing surface areas of PUF. Low cell density, non-uniformity of cell shape and size, and low adhesion of the boundary surface (new/recycled) was showed as a result of the poor properties. Considering underfilling and the properties of PUF (new/recycled), maximum recycle contents were less than 20 wt% for the powder and above 40 wt% for the cube and bar.

The bioremediation potential of crude oil by Polyporus sp. S133 pre-grown in wood meal was investigated in two separate experiment trials; liquid medium and soil. The effect of three nutrients (glucose, polypeptone, and wood meal), oxygen flow, and some absorbent on the efficiency of the process was also evaluated. Degradation of crude oil in soil was significantly increased with an addition of oxygen flow and some absorbent (kapok and pulp). The highest degradation rate of crude oil was 93% in the soil with an addition of 10% kapok. The present study clearly demonstrates that, if suitably developed, Polyporus sp. S133 could be used to remediate soil contaminated with crude oil.

Two major hazardous gases. SOx and NOx. are emissioned from fossile fuels. SOx has been removed when oil is refined but NOx hasn't. So NOx is very serious problem in air pollution now There are several technologies to remove NOx. e.g. cooling method. scrubbers method. combustion method, polymer membrane method and adsorbent methods. Polymer membrane and adsorbent methods have good economic merit in removal systems of low content hazard gases. Traditional absorbents are porous silicas, aluminas. active carbon and zeolites. But these absorbents act only physisorption which has less removal performance than chemisorption. In this study. polymeric absorbent which has chemisorption as well as physisorption was analyzed about chemical structure and experimented about optimum operation conditions. The results showed that the chemical structure of the polymeric absorbent was expected as polystyrene having -N-CH$_2$COOH absorbent was revealed about 310$m^2$/g. The molar ratio of absored NO to charged NO in absorption experiments was shown 60% of the polymeric absorbent and 45% of zeolite absorbent at 3$0^{\circ}C$.

유과의 저장기간 연장을 위하여 가장 문제가 되는 유지의 산패를 억제시키기 위하여 산소 차단성이 있는 포장용기에 유과를 포장하고 포장내 공기를 질소가스로 대체하거나 용기내에 산소흡착제를 투입, 산소를 제거한 후 저장하면서 유과의 산패 지연효과와 관능적 측면을 비교 평가하였다. 저장중 유과에 들어 있는 유지의 POV는 $35^{\circ}C$에서 90일 저장시 산소흡착제를 넣은 경우 5.3, 질소대체 11.9meq/kg, 그리고 비포장구는 195.5 meq/kg으로서 산소흡착제 및 질소대체 처리구가 뚜렷한 산패 억제효과를 보였고 이때 최종 산소잔존율은 각각 4.55% 및 13.85%였다. AV 및 TBA가도 비슷한 경향이었으나 차이는 POV 보다는 적었다. 저장 제품의 관능검사 결과 질소대체 처리구가 가장 우수하여 90일 저장품도 15일 저장품과 차이가 없어 유과의 저장기간을 연장하는데 질소대체 포장방법으로 저장기간을 획기적으로 연장시킬 수 있는 가능성을 보였다. 산소흡착제의 경우 산소흡착에 의한 부피의 감소, 유과향기의 흡착 등이 문제로 대두되었다.

Biodiesel is an alternative and renewable energy source, which is hoped to reduce global dependence on petroleum and environmental problem. Biodiesel produced from a variety of oil sources such as vegetable oil, animal fat and waste oils, and has properties similar to those associated with petro-diesel, including cetane number, volumetric heating value, flash point, viscosity and so on. In this study, we investigate the effect of quality of raw materials on alkali-catalyzed transesterification for producing of biodiesel. The increase of content of free fatty acid and water in oil were caused the sharp decrease of conversion yield. Also, the low purity of methanol in reactant was inhibited the reaction rate. In the case of addition of sodium sulfate as absorbent to prepare catalyst solution, the content of fatty acid methyl ester in product was increased more about 1.6% than that of control. However, the addition of zeolite, sodium chloride and sodium sulfate as absorbent in reactant to remove water generated from reaction did not show any enhancement in the reaction yield. This result may provide useful information with regard to the choice and preparation of raw materials for more economic and efficient biodiesel production.
