유동형 급속열분해기((fluidized bed type fast pyrolyzer, 용량 300g/h)를 이용하여 너도밤나무와 침엽수 흔합재(독일가문비나무/전나무, 50:50)로부터 바이오오일을 생산하였다. 목질바이오매스의 열분해는 약 $470{\pm}5^{\circ}C$에서 1-2초 간 진행되었다. 목질바이오매스의 열분해 생성물의 조성을 살펴보면, 너도밤나무는 바이오오일이 약 60%, 탄이 약 9% 피리 고 가스가 31% 가량 생산되었으며, 침엽수 혼합재는 49%의 바이오오일, 9%의 탄, 그리고 42% 가량의 가스가 생성되었다. 두 종류의 목질바이오매스에서 생산된 바이오오일에는 약 17-22% 가량의 수분이 포함되어 있었으며, 비중은 약 1.2kg/L 이었다. 바이오오일의 원소 조성은 탄소가 45%, 산소가 47% 수소가 7%, 그리 고 질소가 1% 로서 일반적 인 목질바이오매스와 큰 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 화석자원에서 생산되는 오일류와 비교하여 산소함량은 매우 높았으나 황은 전혀 포함하고 있지 않았다. 바이오오일의 GC분석 결과 총 90여종의 고리형, 또는 비고리형 저분자량 화합물이 검출되었으며 이들의 함량은 바이오오일 전건중량의 31-33% 정도로 측정되었다.

In the present study, in order to estimate possibility as a waste heat recovery system, three different heat exchangers are developed. The developed heat exchangers are tile system to supply the hot water using fermentation of waste biomass. For the experiments, various biomass materials were examined to obtain the best heat recovery. Waste heat recovery system was studied numerically and experimentally. Heat exchanger system was designed specially to obtain the optimum heat exchanging performance. The biomass heat exchanger was operated for 20 minutes, after 1 hour from start-up, the temperature of the biomass dump has been raised to the possible operation temperature. From the three time operations per day, the system would be able to supply the amount of energy, about 62,400 kcal/day.

In accordance with the New and Renewable Energy Supply Statistics, biomass power generation has surged since 2013, and use of wood pellet has the most sharply increased, 696Gwh in 2013, 2,764Gwh in 2014 and 2,512Gwh in 2015. Total domestic wood pellet consumption was 1.48million tons in 2015, of which wood pellets consumed for power generation account for about 1.08million tons, about 73%. In this study, we gained the result that the wood pellet would be consumed 2.61million tons in 2020, 6.85million tons in 2025, 11.39million tons in 2030. We also calculated the optimum biomass power generation, on the premise that the power plant co-fire 50% biomass, and the result was that 2.26million tons of wood pellets should be produced domestically in 2021 to operate the present licensed wood pellet power plant from this study.

The effects of catalysts addition on the carbonization reaction of biomass have been studied in a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The sample biomasses were Bamboo and Pine. The catalysts tested were K, Zn metal compounds. The carbonization reactions were tested in the nonisothermal condition from the room temperature to $850^{\circ}C$ at a heating rate $1{\sim}10^{\circ}C/min$ on the flowing of $N_2$ purge gases. Also, the effects of catalyst on the torrefaction were tested in the temperature condition of 220, 250, $280^{\circ}C$ at 30 min. Combustion characteristic for the torrefied catalyst biomass were studied in the nonisothermal conditions of $200{\sim}850^{\circ}C$. As the results, the initial decomposition temperatures of the volatile matters ($T_i$) and the temperature of maximum reaction rate ($T_{max}$) were decreased with increasing the catalyst amounts in the sample biomass. The char amounts remained after carbonization at $400^{\circ}C$ increased with the catalyst amounts. Therefore catalysts addition can be decreased the energy for carbonization process and improved the heating value of product char. The catalysts reduced the optimum torrefaction conditions from $250^{\circ}C$ to $220^{\circ}C$. The torrefied catalyst biomass have lower activated energy from 46.5~58.7 kJ/mol to 25.1~27.0 kJ/mol in the nonisothermal combustion reaction.

This study was conducted to examine the biomass, allometric equations, net primary production, above and total biomass expansion factors and stem density values for 27 years old Korean pine(Pinus koraiensis Siebold et Zuccarini) plantation at the Gangneung National Forest. After considering of the diameter distributions in the $20m{\times}20m$ plot measurement, a total of 5 representative sample trees were destructively sampled to measure green weights and dry weights of the four(root, stem, branch and foliage) protions of Korean pine trees. According to the results of this study, total dry weights were 117.6 kg/tree and 59.9 ton/ha. Aboveground biomass and total (above and belowground) biomass for this species were 59.9 and 82.4 ton/ha, respectively. Ratios of root to aboveground biomass were 0.38. Net primary production of aboveground biomass and belowground biomass were 9.4 and 11.3 ton/ha, respectively. Stem density was $0.49g/cm^{3}$. Above and total biomass expansion factors were 1.78 and 2.19, repectively. This information could be very useful to calculate carbon sequestrations by applying stem desity values and biomass expansion factors for Korean pine species.

바이오매스 에너지라 함은 생물체를 구성하는 유기물을 이용하는 에너지이다. 바이오매스는 에너지 위기 및 $CO_2$에 의한 지구온난화 및 화석자원의 고갈이 진행되면서, 화석연료와 달리 재생이 가능하고 지속 가능한 자원으로 각광을 받고 있다. 그 중에서도 목질계 바이오매스는 다른 신재생에너지원에 비해 국내 잠재량이 가장 풍부한 에너지원 중의 하나이다. 바이오매스 에너지 기술로는 직접연소, 열화학적 변환, 생화학적 변환의 기술이 있다. 본 연구에서는 목재를 원료로 한 부분산화 조건의 숯 생산 공정에서 목재의 열분해 가스 생산특성을 고찰하였다. 열분해가스 중에 응축된 목초액의 pH는 3.58～3.92 정도로 분석 되었고, 산도는 시간이 경과 할수록 2.74에서 4.44%로 농도가 증가 되었다. 숯 생산 공정에서의 목재의 열분해는 초기부터 48시간까지는 열분해가스의 조성의 변화가 거의 없었고, 48시간 경과 후에는 열분해가스 중에 가연성가스인 $H_2$, CO, $CH_4$가 약 5%정도 배출되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The use of biomass has attracted extensive attention from the beginning of civilization. However, intensive researches on the biomass from the view point of the development of alternative energy have been carried out just recently. Fast pyrolysis, as a tool for the utilization of the biomass as the secondary energy source has drawn great attentions due to high applicability for the production of several valuable materials from biomass. This review paper focuses on the recent developments of pyrolysis process and reports the characteristics of bio-oil, which is the main product of fast pyrolysis of biomass.

Lignocellulose ($2^{nd}$ generation) is difficult to hydrolyze due to the presence of lignin and the technology developed for cellulose fermentation to ethanol is not yet economically viable. However, recent advances in the extremely new field of biotechnology for the ethanol production are making it possible to use of agriculture residuals and nonedible crops biomass, e.q., rice straw and miscanthus sinensis, because of their several superior aspects as agriculture residual and nonedible crops biomass; low lignin, high contents of carbohydrates. In this article, as the basic study of AP(Ammonia Percolation), the properties and the optium conditions of process were established, and then the overall efficiency of AP was investigated. The important independent variables for AP process were selected as ammonia concentration, reaction temperature, and reaction time. The percolation condition for maximizing the content of cellulose, the enzymatic digestibility, and the lignin removal was optimized using RSM(Response Surface Methodology). The determined optimum condition is ammonia concentration; 11.27%, reaction temperature; $157.75^{\circ}C$, and reaction time; 10.01 min. The satisfying results were obtained under this optimized condition, that is, the results are as follows: cellulose content(relative); 39.98%, lignin content(relative); 8.01%, and enzymatic digestibility; 85.89%.
