The water-gas shift reaction is the subsequent step using steam for hydrogen enrichment and H₂/CO ratio-controlled syngas from gasification. In this study, a water-gas shift reaction was performed using syngas from an RPF gasification system. The water-gas shift using a catalyst was performed in a laboratory-scale tube reactor with a high temperature shift (HTS) and a low temperature shift (LTS). The effects of the reaction temperature, steam/carbon ratio, and flow rate on H₂ production and CO conversion were investigated. The operating temperature was 250-400℃ for the HTS system and 190-220℃ for the LTS system. Steam/carbon ratios were between 1.5 and 3.5, and the composition of reactant was CO : 40 vol%, H₂ : 25 vol%, and CO₂ : 25 vol%. The CO conversion and H₂ production increased as the reaction temperature and steam/carbon ratio increased. The CO conversion and H₂ production decreased as the flow rate increased due to reduced retention time in the catalyst bed.

Poly(ether imide) (PEI)-poly(dimethylsioxane) (PDMS) composite membranes and their modules were prepared, which are capable of selective $CO_2$ separation from the mixture gas. The gas flow rate, concentration, recovery ratio of $H_2$ and removal ratio of $CO_2$ outflowing by stage-cut were characterized at $25^{\circ}C$ and the constant pressure. In addition, to increase the recovery ratio of $H_2$, one stage, two stage series connection, and three stages series + parallel connection tests were carried out. When the stage-cut was 0.32 for the three stages connection operation, the concentration $H_2$ of the produced gas and the recovery ratio of $H_2$ was 97% and 85%, respectively. And also the removal ratio of $CO_2$ was 90% was obtained and the recycled gas concentration was similar with that of the feed gases.

In 2006, the Cooperative Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Technologies (CO2CRC) plans to undertake (subject to receiving the necessary approvals) a Pilot program for $CO_2$ storage within a depleted gas reservoir. The Otway Basin Pilot Program (OBPP) aims to demonstrate that subsurface $CO_2$ storage is both economically and environmentally sustainable in Australia. This will be the first $CO_2$ storage program in the world to utilise a depleted gas reservoir and, hence, the experience gained will be a valuable addition to the range of international $CO_2$ storage programs that are underway or being planned. A key component of the OBPP is the design of an appropriate geophysical monitoring strategy that will allow the subsurface migration of the $CO_2$ plume to be tracked and to verify that containment has been successful. This paper presents the results from modelling the predicted gravity response to $CO_2$ injection into the Otway Basin reservoir, where the goal was to determine minimum volumes of $CO_2$ that may be detectable using non-seismic geophysical techniques. Modelling results indicate that gravity measurements at 10 m spacing within the existing observation well and the planned $CO_2$ injection well would provide excellent vertical resolution, even for the smallest $CO_2$ volume modelled (10000 tonnes), but resolving the lateral extent of the plume would not be possible without additional wells at closer spacing.

This study is to investigate the heating value and noxious gases generation such as CO, NO and $SO_2$ known as dangerous gas for human from specimen made of cement and lightweight aggregate. The most quanity of CO gas is generated in EPS(Expanded Poly Styrene), core of commercial sandwich panel. Although specimens mainly composed of cement discharged the relatively less CO gas than organic core such as EPS, specimens which SBR was added discharged the very much amount of CO gas similar to EPS and especially, specimens including foaming agent, gas foaming agent or redipersible powder of VA/VeoVa showed the good properties in the generation of CO gas. From the standpoint of the generation of NO and $SO_2$ gas, both the core of commercial sandwich panel such as EPS, Glass wool and specimens made with polymer dispersion such as St/BA and SBR discharge the very much amount of NO and $SO_2$ gas in comparison of the other specimens. From this study, it was confirmed that organic materials such as core of commercial sandwich panel dischared much more noxious gas than specimens composed of cement and inorganic lightweight aggregate.

In D-T fusion reaction, $D_2$ (duterium) and $T_2$(tritium) are used as fuel gas. The exhaust gas of nuclear fusion includes hydrogen isotopes $Q_2$ (Q means H, D or T), tritiated components ($CQ_4$ and $Q_2O$), CO, $CO_2$, etc. All of hydrogen isotopes should be recovered before released to the atmosphere. This study focused on the recovery of hydrogen isotopes from $CQ_4$ and $Q_2O$. Two kinds of experiments were conducted to investigate the catalytic reaction characteristics of SMR (Steam Methane Reforming) and WGS (Water Gas Shift) reactions using Pt catalyst. First test was performed to convert $CH_4$ into $H_2$ using 6% $CH_4$, 6% CO/Ar feed gas. In the other test, 100% CO gas was used to convert $H_2O$ into $H_2$ at various reaction conditions (reaction temperature, S/C ratio, GHSV). As a result of the first test, $CH_4$ and CO conversion were 41.6%, 57.8% respectively at $600^{\circ}C$, S/C ratio 3, GHSV $2000hr^{-1}$. And CO conversion was 72% at $400^{\circ}C$, S/C ratio 0.95, GHSV $333hr^{-1}$ in the second test.

In this study, we investigated microstructure and the CO gas sensing properties of Ag-CuO-$SnO_2$ thin films prepared by co-evaporation and subsequently thermal oxidation at air atmosphere. The sensitivity of a Cu-Sn films, thermally oxidized at $600^{\circ}C$, is strongly affected by the amount of Cu. At Cu:7 wt%-Sn:93 wt%, the film exhibited a maximum sensitivity of ${\sim}2.3$ to CO gas of 1000 ppm at $300^{\circ}C$. In contrast, the sensitivity of a Sn-Ag film did not change significantly with the amount of Ag. An enhanced sensitivity of ${\sim}3.7$ was observed in the film with a composition of Ag:3 wt%-Cu:4 wt%-Sn:93 wt%, when thermally oxidized at $600^{\circ}C$. In addition, this thin film shows a response time of ${\sim}80$ sec and a recovery time of ${\sim}450$ sec to 1000 ppm CO gas. The results demonstrate that the CO sensitivity of the Ag-CuO-$SnO_2$ thin films may be closely associated with coexistence of $SnO_2$ and SnO phase, decrease in average particle size, and a porous microstructure. We also suggest that co-evaporation and followed by thermal oxidation is a very simple and effective method to prepare oxide gas sensor thin films.

This research was basically carried out to extend the application of $CO_2$ absorption processes for flue-gas system, which are mainly applied to a reforming process in petro-chemical industries. In general, MEA absorbent has some problems in flue-gas treatment, such as, degradation, regeneration energy and absorption capacities. As we known, sterical hindered amine, typically AMP (2-amino 2-methyl 1-propanol), have a good potential to improve these problems. In this paper, the characteristics of $CO_2$ absorption in aqueous AMP solution were measured and compared with that of MEA. It has been found that the $CO_2$ absorption capacity in AMP is double than that of MEA in the low $CO_2$ partial pressure system such as flue-gas. Also, the equilibriums of $CO_2$-AMP system were partially suggested, which are essentially needed to design the absorption process.

The silicon dioxide ($SiO_2$) was deposited using various gas as oxygen and nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) in nowadays. In order to improve electrical characteristics and the interface state density ($D_{it}$) in low temperature, It was deposited with carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and silane ($SiH_4$) gas by inductively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD). Each $D_{it}$ of $SiO_2$ using $CO_2$ and $N_2O$ gas was $1.30{\times}10^{10}cm^{-2}{\cdot}eV^{-1}$ and $3.31{\times}10^{10}cm^{-2}{\cdot}eV^{-1}$. It showed $SiO_2$ using $CO_2$ gas was about 2.55 times better than $N_2O$ gas. After 10 years when the thin film was applied to metal/insulator/semiconductor(MIS)-nonvolatile memory(NVM), MIS NVM using $SiO_2$($CO_2$) on tunneling layer had window memory of 2.16 V with 60% retention at bias voltage from +16 V to -19 V. However, MIS NVM applied $SiO_2$($N_2O$) to tunneling layer had 2.48 V with 61% retention at bias voltage from +20 V to -24 V. The results show $SiO_2$ using $CO_2$ decrease the $D_{it}$ and it improves the operating voltage.

Fluoronitriles-$CO_2$ gas mixtures are promising alternatives to $SF_6$ in environmentally-friendly gas-insulated transmission lines (GILs). Insulating gas heat transfer characteristics are of major significance for the current-carrying capacity design and operational state monitoring of GILs. In this paper, a three-dimensional calculation model was established for a GIL using the thermal-fluid coupled finite element method. The calculated results showed close agreement with experimentally measured data. The temperature distribution of a GIL filled with the Fluoronitriles-$CO_2$ mixture was obtained and compared with those of GILs filled with $CO_2$ and $SF_6$. Furthermore, the effects of the mixture ratio of the component gases and the gas pressure on the temperature rise and current-carrying capacity of the GIL were analyzed. Results indicated that the heat transfer performance of the Fluoronitriles-$CO_2$ gas mixture was better than that of $CO_2$ but worse than that of $SF_6$. When compared with $SF_6$, use of the Fluoronitriles-$CO_2$ gas mixture caused a reduction in the GIL's current-carrying capacity. In addition, increasing the Fluoronitriles gas component ratio or increasing the pressure of the insulating gas mixture could improve the heat dissipation and current-carrying capacity of the GIL. These research results can be used to design environmentally-friendly GILs containing Fluoronitriles-$CO_2$ gas mixtures.

This study includes the efface of shielding gas types on $CO_2$ laser weldability of low carbon automotive galvanized steel. The types of shielding gas evaluated are He, $CO_2$, Ar, $N_2$, 50%Ar＋50%$N_2$. The weld penetration, strength, formability(Erichsen test) of Laser weld are found to be strongly dependent upon the types of shielding gas used. Further, the maximum travel speed and flow rate to form a keyhole weld is also dependent upon types of shielding gas. The ability of shielding gas in removing plasma plume and thus increasing weld penetration is believed to be closely related with ionization/dissociation potential, which determine the period of plasma formation and disappearance. Further, thermal conductivity and reactivity of gas with molten pool also give strong effect on penetration and porosity formation which in turn affect on the formability and strength.
