The selection of a suitable adsorbent for removing organic sulfur compounds tetrahydrothiophene (THT) and t-butylmercaptan (TBM) from natural gas has been carried out. The saturation adsorption capacity for the sulfur compounds were determined by pulse adsorption method for a group of nanoporous materials, including Na-Y, Na-ZSM-5, Na,K-ET(A)S-10, Na-Mordenite, Na,K-Clinoptitolite, Ti/MCM-41, Ti/SBA-15 and amorphous titanosilicates. Among the materials tested, Na-Y and Na,K-ET(A)S-10 zeolites showed high adsorptive capacities for THT and TBM. The saturation capacity for THT on Na,K-ETS-10 was comparable with that on Na-Y zeolite, which is well known as an effective adsorbent. The capacity and adsorptivity for THT and TBM on Na,K-ETAS-10 were improved by an increase in crystallinity of Na,K-ETAS-10. An investigation of the competitive adsorption between THT and TBM from the breakthrough test using a simulated natural gas indicates that Na,K-ETS-10 selectively adsorbs THT. The breakthrough capacity for THT on Na,K-ETS-10 was 1.19 mmol/g. The results show that the high adsorption performance of Na.K-ETS-10 and Na,K-ETAS-10 is due to the highly exchanged cations in the zeolitic structure which exhibit the strong electrostatic interactions with organic sulfur compounds and their wide pore nature.

Fly ash has capacity to oxidize or adsorb mercury in a flue gas. Mercury oxidation and adsorption efficiencies of fly ash vary depending on the properties of fly ash. This study was designed to understand reaction characteristics of mercury with fly ash components. The fly ash components were tested to determine their oxidation and adsorption capabilities for elemental mercury and oxidized mercury. A sample was synthesized with fly ash components and tested. The test results were compared with those of the fly ash sample obtained from a coal-fired power plant. $Fe_2O_3$, CuO and carbon black showed higher oxidation or adsorption efficiency for elemental mercury while CaO, MgO, CuO and carbon black showed higher adsorption efficiency for mercury chloride. In addition, the synthesized sample showed comparable mercury oxidation and adsorption efficiencies to the fly ash sample.

The perfluorocompounds (PFCs) emitted from the semiconductor and display manufacture is treated by abatement systems which use various technologies, such as combustion, thermal, plasma, catalyst. However, it is required that the system should overcome their drawbacks with excess energy consumption and low removal efficiency. The new technology using combination of pressure swing adsorption and excess enthalpy combustion for the reduction of PFCs emissions were developed and analyzed its characteristics. PFCs concentration ratio and PFCs loss factor were calculated from measuring concentration of PFCs at the calculated by comparing concentration of PFCs at the combustor's inlet and outlet. There were performance evaluations with various gas flow for comparing energy consumption and removal efficiency with existing equipments. The concentration ratio and the loss factor of PFCs were 1.65, 8.2%, respectively, when the total gas flow of the pressure swing absorption (PSA) inlet was 204 liter per minute (LPM) and $CF_4$ concentration was 1412 ppm. In comparison with existing system at constant condition, $CF_4$ removal efficiency for a porous media combustion (PMC) showed the improvement more than 16% and the consumed energy was also reduced up to approximately 41%. Then, the total gas flow introduced into PMC and $CF_4$ concentration were 91-LPM and 2335 ppm, respectively, and the destruction and removal efficiency of $CF_4$ was about 96% at 19-LPM $CH_4$, and 40-LPM $O_2$.

In order to asses gas production behavior for $CO_2$ ECBM, the sorption charcteristics on coal are considered to be a key factor. In this study, we have investigated the change of the sorption rate of adsorbed gas as a function of pressure and temperature below the appropriate depth for $CO_2$-ECBM. The experiment were carried out under four different temperatures varying from $15^{\circ}C$ to $45^{\circ}C$, while the coal pressure was varied from atmosphere to 1,400 psi for every temperature. From this results, the sorption rate both $CO_2$ and $CH_4$ increased with increasing the coal pressure. Otherwise, the sorption rate both $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ decreased linearly as the coal temperature increased. From the sensitivity studies on pressure and temperature change, it was experimentally identified that $CO_2$ sequestration rate and $CH_4$ production rate are better at deeper depths below a depth of 800 m in coal seams. However, the results showed continued decline in the increasing ratio of ECBM with formation depth.

Generally, there are three ways to remove VOCs from the small painting booth; adsorption, burn and oxidation catalyst. RTO and RCO are high efficiency methods for removing VOCs. But they require large installation areas, which are not suitable for the small painting booth. And we need a new removing method because it is difficult to predict the A/C changing time and the recycle time. To solve these problems, we have developed the Arc plasma system which is simple and enable consecutive-use. It removes VOCs effectively and eco-friendly. In this study we have investigated the enrichment material and VOCs removal efficiency.

입자상 오염물질은 공기역학적 직경 2.5$\mu\textrm{m}$를 기준으로 미세입자와 거대입자로 나누어지는 쌍극분포의 형태(Whitby et at., 1972)를 나타내며, 분진이 인체에 미치는 영향에 관한 많은 연구를 통해 10$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이하의 입자가 호흡성 분진으로 인체에 더 유해한 영향을 미치고 있음이 밝혀졌다(Emison, 1988). 이러한 특징은 동일 질량의 분진을 가정할 때 입자의 직결이 작아질수록 저감효율이 떨어지며, 분진의 표면적이 커져 중금속이나 가스상 오염물질의 흡착이 상대적으로 용이해지기 때문이다(Saffiotti, 1965).

국내에서 사용되고 있는 대부분의 화재대피용 방독마스크 정화통은 외국에서 고가에 수입되고 있거나, 국내 제조시는 많은 기술을 외국에 의존하고 있다. 이들 정화통의 충진재는 일산화탄소(CO)를 제거하기 위해 망간(Mn), 구리(Cu)등을 활성탄에 담지시켜 제조한 촉매층과 $SO_2$, HCI 등의 유독가스를 제거하기 위한 제올라이트 등의 흡착층으로 구성되어있다. 그러나 이들 충진재중 CO 제거용 촉매는 상온에서 CO의 제거효율이 낮아 많은 양을 충진해야 하는 어려움이 있다.(중략)

본 연구는 톨루엔이 흡착된 활성탄에 따라 MW를 적용함으로써 열적 탈착을 유도하여 활성탄을 재생하는데 그 목적을 두었다. 따라서 MW를 활성탄에 적용함으로써 발생하는 특성을 다음과 같이 분석하였다. 100W, 500W출력의 MW를 GAC에 적용 시 저출력인 100W에서는 방전 현상이 일어나지 않았으며, MW의 출력이 높아질수록 활성탄의 급속한 온도상승과 그에 따른 빈번한 방전이 발생하였다. 이는 출력이 높아 온도상승이 급속해지면 GAC에 흡착된 VOCs를 탈착 시에는 유리하나 높은 온도와 더불어 방전으로 인해 톨루엔의 분해가능성이 높아져 2차적인 오염물질을 배출할 수 있는 문제점을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 100W의 출력에서도 GAC에 흡착 된 톨루엔을 탈착시키기에 충분한 온도 상승과 방전 줄임 현상을 알 수 있었다. 또한 100W의 출력에서 98%의 탈착 효율을 얻을 수 있었으며 GC/MS 분석결과 탈착가스의 성분에서 95.6%의 톨루엔을 검출 할 수 있었다.

Gas separation technology becomes more useful because key gases such as H₂ and CO₂ regarding renewable energy resources and environmental pollutant can be effectively extracted in mixed gases. For reducing energy consumption on gas separation, membrane and adsorption processes are widely used. In both processes, porous materials are needed as membrane and adsorbent. In particular, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), one class of the porous materials, have been developed for the purpose of gas adsorption and separation. While the number of the MOF structures is increasing due to chemical and structural tunability, good MOF membranes and adsorbents have been rarely reported by trial-and-error experiments. To accelerate the discovery of high-performing porous materials that can separate H₂ and CO₂, a high-throughput computational screening technique was used as efficient skill. This review introduces crucial studies of porous materials and the high-throughput computational screening works focusing on gas separation of H₂ and CO₂.
