The purpose of this experimental study is to investigate the quantitative pollutants reduction by oxygen enrichment and induced air effect in venturi type after-burner. For this purpose, CO, $CO_2$, $O_2$. and HC concentrations were measured before and after the after-burner by changing the Oxygen flow rate and area ratio which is defined as the ratio of air inducing area divided by total area. As results of this study, when the area ratio were increased, the emission reduction effect was increased even less oxygen flow rate. In that case when oxygen was injected too little, the pollutants were increased.

Increasing environmental concerns regarding the use of fossil fuels and global wanning have prompted researcher to investigate alternative fuels. The purpose of this study is to investigate the syngas production by biogas reforming using a compression spark ignition engine. The parametric screening studies were carried out according to the variations of oxygen enrichment rate, biogas $CO_2$ ratio, intake gas temperature, and engine revolution. When the oxygen enrichment rate and input gas temperature increased, hydrogen and carbon monoxide were increased. But the biogas $CO_2$ ratio and engine revolution increased, the syngas were reduced. For the reforming of methane 100% only, generation of hydrogen and carbon monoxide was 58% and 17%, respectively. However when the biogas $CO_2$ ratio was 40%, hydrogen and carbon monoxide concentration were about 20% each.

인공광하의 풍동 내에서 $CO_2$ 농도와 기류속도 제어가 플러그묘 개체군의 생육에 미치는 효과를 분석하고자 시도된 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 인공광하에서 묘개체군의 줄기 길이 및 직경, 초장, 순광합성속도 등에 미치는 기류속도의 영향은 저농도의 $CO_2$ 조건보다는 고농도의 $CO_2$ 환경에서 분명하게 나타났다. 기류속도가 증가할수록 줄기 길이가 감소하였는 데, 이와 같은 결과는 $CO_2$ 농도가 높게 유지되는 조건에서 분명하게 나타났다. $CO_2$ 농도가 높은 조건에서 줄기 직경은 기류속도가 증가함에 따라 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 묘개체군의 초장은 $CO_2$ 농도가 낮게 유지되는 조건에 비해서 $CO_2$ 농도가 높게 유지되는 경우에 작게 나타났다. 묘개체군의 순광합성속도는 0.7m.s$^{-1}$의 기류속도에서 최대치가 나타났으며, 이러한 결과는 $CO_2$ 농도가 높게 유지될 때 더욱 분명하게 나타났다. $CO_2$ 농도가 950$\mu$mol.mol$^{-1}$를 유지할 때 묘개체군의 순광합성속도는 310$\mu$mol.mol$^{-1}$인 경우에 비해서 약 46% 정도 높게 나타났다. 그러므로 인공광하에서 묘소질이 우수한 플러그묘의 육묘에 $CO_2$시용이 효과적일 것이다.

To overcome various disadvantages of conventional cul-ture vessels for micropropagation, a novel disposable vessel, the 'Vitron', made of a multi-layered $OTP^{(R)}$ film and supported by a polypropylene frame, was developed. The film possesses superior properties such as: high light transmittance, low water vapor transmittance and thermal stability and in particular, high gas-permeability. Single nodal explants, which were excised from the multiple shoots derived from shoot-tip culture, were cultured in Vitron and polycarbonate vessels on $3\%$ sugar-containing agar on MS medium and placed at 3000 ppm $CO_2$-enrichment at a low photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) ($45{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$). The in vitro and ex vitro growth, and the net photosynthetic rate of in vitro and ex vitro plantlets were significantly enhanced in the Vitron compared to those cultured in a polycarbonate vessel. Explants that were cultured on the same MS medium under low PPFD at various $CO_2$ concentrations were also cultured at 3000 ppm $CO_2$- enrichment at various PPFD: 30, 45, 60, 75 and $90{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$. The best in vitro and ex vitro growth obtained for 3000 ppm $CO_2$-enrichment at $75{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ PPFD. The novel Vitron vessel, when placed under the two conditions, may replace conventional culture vessels for the successful micropropagation of sweetpotato.

The effects of $CO_2$ enrichment on growth of maize (Zea mays L.) were examined. Parameters analyzed include growth characteristics, yields, photosynthetic rates, evaporation rates and photosynthesis-related characteristics under elevated $CO_2$. The plants were grown in growth chambers with a 12-h photoperiod and a day/night temperature of $28/21^{\circ}C$ at the seedling stage and $30/23^{\circ}C$ from the silking stage. The plants were exposed to two elevated $CO_2$ of 500, 700ppm and ambient levels (350 ppm). Chalok 1 and GCB 70 germinated three days after seeding, and germination rates were faster in the elevated $CO_2$ than the control. Germination rates displayed significant differences among the $CO_2$ treatments. At the seedling stage, leaf area, top dry weight, and photosynthetic rates, and plant height indicated positive relationship with elevated $CO_2$ concentrations. At the $5{\sim}6$ leaf stage, $CO_2$ concentration also indicated positive relationship with plant height, leaf area, top dry weight, and photosynthetic rates. At the silking stage, increased plant height of Chalok 1 was noted in the $CO_2$ treatments compared to the control. No significant differences were noted for GCB 70, in which leaf area decreased but photosynthetic rates increased progressively with $CO_2$ concentration. Stomatal aperture was a little bigger in the elevated $CO_2$ than the control. $CO_2$ concentration was negatively related to stomatal conductance and transpiration rates, resulting in high water use efficiency.

대기중의 $CO_2$ 농도 증가에 따른 벼의 생육단계별 생육 및 광합성 관련 반응을 관찰한 결과는 다음과 같았다. 1. 벼 유묘기에는 $CO_2$ 농도가 증가하고 처리기간이 길어질수록 일품벼, 추청벼, 화성벼 모두 초장, 경수, 엽면적이 증가하였고 처리 후 18일경에는 대비구에 비해 500ppm, 700ppm에서 건물중 $35\~47\%$ 증가하는 경향이었다(3품종 평균). 2. 벼 유모기의 광합성율은 높은 $CO_2$>농도에서는 증가되었으나 처리기간이 길어져서 생육이 진전될수록 약간 감소하는 경향이었다. 3. 유수형성기 및 출수기에는 $CO_2$농도가 증가함에 따라 초장, 건물 중은 증가되었으나 SPAD값과 광합성속도, 기공전도도, 증산율 등은 처리기간이 길어질수록 감소하였다. 4. 출수 직전부터 55일간 처리한 벼의 수량은 대비구에 비해 500ppm, 700ppm 처리구에서 세 품종 모두 큰 차이가 없었다. 5. $CO_2$농도에 따른 광합성 속도 및 증산량은 농도가 높아지고 광합성속도가 빨라질수록 증산량은 낮아져 수분 이용 효율이 높은 것으로 나타났다.

Numerical simulations of freely propagating flames burning stoichiometric $CH_4$/$O_2$/$N_2$ mixtures are performed at atmospheric pressure in order to understand the effect of the $O_2$ enrichment level on $CH_4$/Air flame. A chemical kinetic mechanism is employed, the adopted scheme involving 54 gas-phase species and 632 forward reactions. The calculated flame. speeds are compared with the experiments for the flames established at several $O_2$ enrichment level, the results of which is in excellent agreement. As a result of the increased $O_2$ enrichment level from 0.21 to 1, the mole fraction of CO in the burned gas is increased. The flame speed and the temperature in the burned gas are also increased, but the thickness of the flame is severely shrunken in the preheat region.

A chemical kinetic mechanism is employed, the adopted scheme involving 54 gas-phase species and 632 forward reactions.

As a result of the increased $O_2$enrichment level from 0.21 to 1, the mole fraction of CO in the burred gas is increased. The flame speed and the temperature in the burned gas are also increased, but the thickness of the flame is severely shrunken in the preheat region. The maximum of the calculated EINO is obtained around 0.6 and 0.7 of the $O_2$enrichment level in cases of flames for fuel-lean mixtures.

커피의 향기 성분의 증가를 위해 초임계 이산화탄소를 사용하고, 일반적인 커피 추출 방법인 에스프레소를 통하여 증가 효율을 알아보았다. 커피 음료의 향 성분은 변형된 헤드스페이스법으로 수거하여 분석하였다. 모든 장치는 향 성분이 유출되지 않도록 밀폐하여 수행하였다. 분석은 GC를 이용하였고 다섯 가지 향기 성분을 표준품으로 하였다. 초임계 이산화탄소는 압력과 온도의 영향을 받아 밀도와 용해도가 변화하고 이로써 용해력이 변화하기 때문에, 압력과 온도의 최적화 실험을하였다. 추출 후 product와 헤드스페이스의 향기 성분을 모두 분석하였고 그 결과 350 bar, 80$^\circ$C의 조건에서 최대의 효율을 나타내었다. 또한 추출 시 헤드스페이스로 날아가는 향기 성분보다 product로 추출되는 향기 성분이 76.6배 이상 많았다. 커피의 초임계 추출물을 음용하기 위해서 초임계 커피 음료를 만들고, 이의 향기 성분 증가 효율을 확인하기 위해서 초임계 추출 과정을 거치지 않은 커피도 에스프레소로 추출하여 비교하였다. 그 결과 초임계 이산화탄소 추출로 커피 음료의 향기 성분을 2.3배 증가시킬 수 있었다.

Bacterial assimilation of $CO_2$ into stable biomolecules using electrochemical reducing power may be an effective method to reduce atmospheric $CO_2$ without fossil fuel combustion. For the enrichment of the $CO_2$-fixing bacteria using electrochemical reducing power as an energy source, a cylinder-type electrochemical bioreactor with a built-in anode compartment was developed. A graphite felt cathode modified with neutral red (NR-graphite cathode) was used as a solid electron mediator to induce bacterial cells to fix $CO_2$ using electrochemical reducing power. Bacterial $CO_2$ consumption was calculated based on the variation in the ratio of $CO_2$ to $N_2$ in the gas reservoir. $CO_2$ consumed by the bacteria grown in the electrochemical bioreactor (2,000 ml) reached a maximum of approximately 1,500 ml per week. Time-coursed variations in the bacterial community grown with the electrochemical reducing power and $CO_2$ in the mineral-based medium were analyzed via temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE) of the 16S rDNA variable region. Some of the bacterial community constituents noted at the initial time disappeared completely, but some of them observed as DNA signs at the initial time were clearly enriched in the electrochemical bioreactor during 24 weeks of incubation. Finally, Alcaligenes sp. and Achromobacter sp., which are capable of autotrophically fixing $CO_2$, were enriched to major constituents of the bacterial community in the electrochemical bioreactor.
