Master packaging system consists of an inner individual package and secondary outer package. During the stages of chilled transport and distribution, the combination of primary individual package and secondary package was used to maintain a modified atmosphere for shiitake mushrooms. During the retail stage at higher temperature ($25^{\circ}C$), the primary individual package was exposed to display conditions after dismantling of the secondary packaging. The master packaging system was constructed to contain eight individual $30-{\mu}m$ thick polypropylene film bags of 500 g shiitake mushrooms inside a $40-{\mu}m$ low-density polyethylene bag. Carbon dioxide absorbent material [$Ca(OH)_2$] and/or moisture absorbent (superabsorbent polymer) were designed in their required amounts based on respiration characteristics and then applied to the outer secondary packaging in sachet form. Gas concentration of the packaging, temperature, and humidity were monitored throughout transport and storage. The quality of shiitake mushrooms was measured at the retail stage to determine the packaging effect. During the distribution stage of 108 h, $O_2$ and $CO_2$ concentrations in the master packaging system were maintained at 9~11% and 1~4% in the inner packaging, respectively, which are good for quality preservation. Compared to the control, the master packaging with $CO_2$ and/or moisture absorbents improved mushroom preservation and particularly reduced decay.

The pilot scale experiments can handle the flue gas up to 1,000 $Nm^3/hr$ for separation of carbon dioxide included in real flue gas at coal-fired power plant. The operational characteristics was analyzed with the main experimental variables such as flue gas flow rate, absorbent circulation rate using chemical absorbents mono-ethanolamine( MEA) and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol(AMP). The more flue gas flow rate decreased in 100 $m^3/hr$ in the MEA 20 wt% experiments, the more carbon dioxide removal efficiency was increased 6.7% on average. Carbon dioxide removal efficiency was increased approximately 2.8% according to raise of the 1,000 kg/hr absorbent circulation rate. It also was more than 90% at $110^{\circ}C$ of re-boiler temperature. Carbon dioxide removal efficiency of the MEA was higher than that of the AMP. In the MEA(20 wt%) experiment, carbon dioxide removal efficiency(85.5%) was 10% higher than result(75.5%) of ASPEN plus simulation.

In order to compare their absorption abilities of carbon dioxide, Hyamine base and phenyl ethylamine were employed in wet combustion experiments. The known content of liver lipid and uniformly mixed palmitic $acid-C^{14}$ were oxidized with sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid. Carbon dioxide produced was trapped by the amines tested through thin tube. The amines absorbed carbon dioxide were mixed with diotal scintillator and counted by liquid scintillation counter. The counting efficiencies and radioactivity recoveries were 50 to 60 % and nearly 100 % for both amines. However, the absorption ability of carbon dioxide by phenyl ethylamine was about two times that of Hyamine base. This technique would not be necessary for the counting of liver lipid of swim, because the efficiencies were not increased and counting accuracies were similar to those of direct counting.

In order to improve the portability of basic absorbents monoethanolamine (MEA) and glycine (Gly), both were supported on microporous activated carbon (AC). Chemical modification by alkali-metal ion exchange (of Li, Na, K) was carried out on Gly-based absorbents. All supported absorbents were subjected to $CO_2$ absorption capacity (pure $CO_2$) and selectivity (indoor level) tests. Textural and chemical characterizations were carried out on test sorbents. All impregnation brought about significant reduction of specific surface area and microporosity of the adsorbent Depreciation in the textural properties was found to result to reduction in pure $CO_2$ sorption. Contrarily, low-level $CO_2$ removal capacity was enhanced as the absorbent dosage increases, resulting in supported 5 molar MEA in methanol solution. Adsorption capacities were improved from 0.016 and 0.8 in raw ACs to 1.065 mmol/g for MEA's. Surface chemistry via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of the supported sorbents showed the presence of amine, pyrrole and quaternary-N. In reducing sequence of potency, pyridine, amine and pyrrolic-N were noticed to contribute significantly to $CO_2$ selective adsorption. Furthermore, the adsorption isotherm study confirms the presence of various SNGs heterogeneously distributed on AC. The adsorption mechanism of the present AC adsorbents favored Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm at lower and higher $CO_2$ concentrations respectively.

In this study, amino acid salt absorbents were applied to remove and capture high concentrations of CO₂ in liquor factories and regeneration performance was confirmed. In order to evaluate the effective treatment of the desorption process, two methods(Hot plate and Steam) were compared at the laboratory scale. As a result, hot plate and Steam. Hot plate methods regeneration efficiency was about 10% and Steam methods was about 60%. The Steam-Tower condition was evaluated by installing a 100㎥/min flow rate scrubber absorption system in the liquor factory. As a result, it was established that the absorbent flow rate was below 4L/min and the steam temperature was above 160℃. Finally regeneration performance was confirmed as 85.5%.

The study of $CO_2$ absorption in a packed column by 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMG) dissolved in ethylene glycol is presented. Absorption column of inner diameter 1 in and 0.6 m length was filled with Protruded-packing $0.16in{\times}0.16in$. We investigated the effect of operating conditions on overall mass transfer coefficients as well as on $CO_2$ removal efficiency. The loading values reached at about $1.0mol_{CO2}/mol_{TMG}$. In case of absorbent with lean $CO_2$ loading, the overall mass transfer coefficient was proportional to the concentration of TMG. However, in the range of more than ${\alpha}=0.5molCO_2/molTMG$, the overall mass transfer coefficients decreased with the concentration of TMG. It is due to the increasing of mass transfer resistance in liquid phase as increasing of viscosity at higher loading values.

To enhance the performance of SEWGS system by holding the WGS catalyst in a SEWGS reactor using bed inserts, effect of bed insert geometry on CO conversion of WGS catalyst was measured and investigated. Small scale fluidized bed reactor was used as experimental apparatus and tablet shaped WGS catalyst and sand particle were used as bed materials. The cylinder type and the spring type bed inserts were used to hold the WGS catalysts. The CO conversion of WGS catalyst with the change of steam/CO ratio was determined based on the exit gas analysis. Moreover, gas flow direction was confirmed by bed pressure drop measurement for each case. The measured CO conversion using the bed inserts showed high value comparable to previous results even though at low catalyst content. Most of input gas flowed through the bed center side when we charged tablet type catalyst into the cylinder type bed insert and this can cause low $CO_2$ capture efficiency because the possibility of contact between input gas and $CO_2$ absorbent is low in this case. However, the spring type bed insert showed good reactivity and good distribution of gas, and therefore, the spring type bed insert was selected as the best bed insert for SEWGS process.

To check effects of operating variables on reaction characteristics of WGS catalyst for SEWGS process, water gas shift reaction tests were carried out in a pressurized fluidized bed reactor using commercial WGS catalyst and sand(as a substitute for $CO_2$ absorbent) as bed materials. Simulated syngas(mixed with $N_2$) was used as a reactant gas. Operating temperature was $210^{\circ}C$ and operating pressure was 20 bar. WGS catalyst content, steam/CO ratio, gas velocity, and syngas concentration were considered as experimental variables. CO conversion increased as the catalyst content and steam/CO ratio increased. CO conversion at fluidized bed condition was higher than that of fixed bed condition. However, CO conversion were maintained almost same value within the fluidized bed condition. CO conversion decreased as the syngas concentration increased. The optimum operation condition was confirmed and long time water gas shift reaction test up to 24 hours at the optimum operating conditions was carried out.

In this study, CO₂ separation experiment was performed on a CH₄/CO₂ mixed gas using a ceramic hollow fiber membrane contactor (HFMC). In order to fabricate high-performance HFMC, experiments were conducted to manufacture high-permeability hollow fiber membranes, and the prepared hollow fiber membranes were evaluated through N₂ gas permeation experiments. HFMC for CH₄/CO₂ mixed gas separation was manufactured using the manufactured high-permeability hollow fiber membrane. In the experiment, mixed gas of CH₄/CO₂ (34.5% CO₂, CH₄ balance) and monoetanolamine (MEA) was used, and the effect of CO₂ removal efficiency on the flow rate of the absorbent was evaluated. The CO₂ removal efficiency increased as the liquid flow rate increased, and the CO₂ absorption flux also increased with the liquid flow rate.
