In order to regenerate the sulfidated desulfurization sorbent, oxygen is used as the oxidant agent on the regeneration process. The small amount of oxygen un-reacted in regeneration process is flowed into direct sulfur recovery process. However, the reactivity for $SO_2$ reduction can be deteriorated with the un-reacted oxygen by various reasons. In this study, the deactivation effects of un-reacted oxygen contained in the off-gas of regeneration process flowed into direct sulfur recovery process of hot gas desulfurization system were investigated. Sn-Zr based catalysts were used as the catalyst for $SO_2$ reduction. The contents of $SO_2$ and $O_2$ contained in the regenerator off-gas used as the reactants were fixed to 5.0 vol% and 4.0 vol%, respectively. The catalytic activity tests with a Sn-Zr based catalyst were for $SO_2$ reduction performed at $300-450^{\circ}C$ and 1-20 atm. The un-reacted oxygen oxidized the elemental sulfur produced by $SO_2$ catalytic reduction and the conversion of $SO_2$ was reduced due to the production of $SO_2$. However, the temperature for the oxidation of elemental sulfur increased with increasing pressure in the catalytic reactor. Therefore, it was concluded that the decrease of reactivity at high pressure is occurred by catalytic deactivation, which is the re-oxidation of lattice oxygen vacancy in Sn-Zr based catalyst with the un-reacted oxygen on the catalysis by redox mechanism. Meanwhile the un-reacted oxygen oxidized CO supplied as the reducing agent and the temperature in the catalyst packed bed also increased due to the combustion of CO. It was concluded that the rapidly increasing temperature in the packed bed can induce the catalytic deactivation such as the sintering of active components.

A total of 4 trials were conducted to evaluate the nutritional value of food waste-byproduct feeds mixture(FWM) rotary drum-pasteurized and cured, to trace the nutritional flow according to the processing stages and finally to determine the optimal mixing formulation of feed ingredients for the growing pigs. Pasteurizing and curing FWM using a rotary drum drier resulted in little change in chemical composition and 8 to $15 \%$ of dry matter losses. Chemical change was affected by different feed ingredients used in each trial. Curding of FWM was caused probably by high moisture content, starch content and(or) physical characteristics of feed ingredients. The optimal mixing ratio of feed ingredients was food waste 45 : deepstacked broiler litter 10 : bakery by-product 22.5 barley bran 22.5. In conclusion, FWM rotary drum-pasteurized and cured had a satisfactory feed-nutritional value far growing pigs.

In this study, hydrodynamics and reaction characteristic of K-based solid sorbents for $CO_2$ capture were investigated using a continuous system composed of two bubbling fluidized-bed reactors(1.2 m tall bed with 0.11 m i.d.). Potassium-based dry sorbents manufactured by the Korea Electric Power Research Institute were used, which were composed of $K_2CO_3$ of 35% for $CO_2$ absorption and supporters of 65% for mechanical strength. The continuous system consists of two bubbling fluidized-bed reactors, solid injection nozzle, riser, chiller, analyzer and heater for regeneration reaction. The minimum fluidizing velocity of the continuous system was 0.0088 m/s and the solid circulation rate measured was $10.3kg/m^2{\cdot}s$ at 1.05 m/s velocity of the solid injection nozzle. The $CO_2$ concentration of the simulated gas was about 10 vol% in dry basis. Reaction temperature in carbonator and regenerator were maintained about $70^{\circ}C$ and $200^{\circ}C$, respectively. Differential pressures, which were maintained in carbonator and regenerator, were about $415mmH_2O$ and $350mmH_2O$, respectively. In order to find out reaction characteristics of dry sorbents, several experiments were performed according to various experimental conditions such as $H_2O$ content(7.28~19.66%) in feed gas, velocity (0.053~0.103 m/s) of simulated gas, temperature($60{\sim}80^{\circ}C$) of a carbonator, temperature($150{\sim}200^{\circ}C$) of a regenerator and solid circulation rate($7.0{\sim}10.3kg/m^2{\cdot}s$). The respective data of operating variables were saved and analyzed after maintaining one hour in a stable manner. As a result of continuous operation, $CO_2$ removal tended to increase by increasing $H_2O$ content in feed gas, temperature of a regenerator and solid circulation rate and to decrease by increasing temperature of a carbonator and gas velocity in a carbonator.

표면 조직화의 목적은 태양전지 표면에서의 입사되는 빛의 반사율을 감소 시키고, 웨이퍼 내에서 빛의 통과 길이를 길게 하며, 흡수되는 빛의 양을 증가시키는 것이다. 본 연구에는 습식, 건식 표면조직화 방법에 따른 표면 형상과 표면 반사도를 분석 하였으며, 셀을 제작하여 전기적 특성과 광학적 특성의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 표면 조직화 공정은 염기성 용액인 KOH를 이용한 식각 방법과 Ag를 이용한 metal-assisted 식각, 산증기를 이용한 식각, 플라즈마를 이용한 반응성 이온식각을 적용하여 제작하였다. 표면 반사율을 400~1000 nm 사이의 파장에서 측정하였으며 KOH를 이용하여 식각한 샘플이 9.11%의 표면 반사율을 가졌으며 KOH를 이용하여 식각한 표면에 추가로 metal-assisted 식각을 한 샘플이 2%로 가장 낮은 표면 반사율을 보였다. 표면 조직화 후 동일 조건으로 셀을 제작 하여 효율 측정 결과 Ag를 이용한 2단계 metal-assisted chemical 식각이 15.83%의 가장 낮은 광변환 효율을 보였으며 RIE를 이용한 2단계 반응성 이온 식각공정이 17.78%로 가장 높은 광변환 효율을 보였다. 이 결과는 반사도 결과와 일치 하지 않았다. 표면 조직화 모양에 따른 셀 효율의 변화는 도핑 프로파일과 표면 재결합 속도의 변화 때문이라 생각되며 더 명확한 분석을 위해 양자 효율을 측정하여 분석을 시도하였다. 측정 결과 단파장 대역에서 낮은 응답특성을 가지는 것을 확인 할 수 있었는데 그 이유는 낮은 반사도를 가지는 표면조직화 공정의 경우 나노사이즈의 구조를 갖기 때문에 균일한 도핑 프로파일을 얻지 못해 전자 정공의 분리가 제대로 이루어지지 못하였고 표면 재결합 속도증가의 원인으로 단락전류와 개방전압이 낮아져 효율이 떨어진 것으로 판단된다. 실험 결과 도핑 프로파일의 균일성은 셀 효율 개선을 위해 낮은 표면 반사율 만큼 중요하다는 점을 알게되었다. 낮은 반사율을 갖는 표면조직화 공정도 중요하지만 표면에 따른 균일한 도핑 프로파일을 갖는 공정을 개발한다면 단파장 응답도가 향상되어 단락전류밀도의 상승효과를 얻을 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.
