Extensive efforts from all over the world have been made to solve energy problems, such as high oil prices, global warning due to the depletion of oil. Among them, biofuel has been drawing attention as a clean energy, which can replace fossil fuels. However, conventional biofuels were often converted from eatable biomass such as sugar cane, corn and soy which should be replaced with uneatable biomass. In this study, a techno-economical evaluation of the gasification of biomass waste with mixed alcohol synthesis process was performed. Considering available domestic biomass wastes, a 2000 ton/day conversion plant were assumed to produce 533000 L/day ethanol. Also, financial data from previous studies were evaluated and used and economical sensitivities with various operation conditions were established. Economic analysis were conducted by the payback period and internal rate of return (IRR) and net present value (NPV). Sensitivity analyses of raw material costs, initial investment, the major process cost, ethanol price changes and operating costs were all performed.

마이크로 반응기술은 작은 반응기 부피, 높은 열전달, 넓은 반응 면적/부피 및 정확한 반응시간 조절이 가능하기 때문에 화학공정의 고집적화, 반응 선택도의 향상 및 안전도 향상을 꾀할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이러한 마이크로 반응 기술을 중소형 천연가스 및 국내에서 소규모로 국지적으로 발생하는 메탄의 활용 방안으로서 개발함은 청정 합성유를 제조함으로서 석유 자원의 고갈과 고유가에 대비하여 에너지 자원의 다변화 및 자립을 확보 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 마이크로 반응기술을 적용한 미세 유로 반응기(Micro Channel Reactor)를 사용하여 메탄 스팀 개질 반응 특성을 연구하였다. 미세유로 반응기는 내부 홀이 존재하는 plate를 적층함으로 반응기내에 반응가스가 이동할 수 있는 미세유로가 존재하게 하였다. 이러한 미세유로는 반응기의 크기가 작음에도 반응기내에서 반응가스가 충분히 반응할 수 있는 시간과 높은 열전달 효율을 가질 수 있게 한다. 메탄 스팀 개질 반응에 사용된 촉매는 Ni 촉매를 사용하였고, 반응에 필요한 열원으로는 수소 연소에서 발생한 열을 사용하여 반응을 유도하였다. 본 반응기는 외부의 열원을 사용하지 않고, 반응기 내부의 수소 연소에서 발생한 열을 사용함으로 적은 발생 열만으로 메탄 스팀 개질 반응에 필요한 에너지를 얻을 수 있고, 열의 손실이 적다. 또한 메탄 스팀 개질 반응으로 발생한 일부의 수소를 열원으로 이용하여 에너지 사용면에서도 효율적인 반응 공정이다.

Petrochemical is an energy consuming industry that consumes about 30% of total industrial energy consumption and is a representative carbon dioxide (CO₂) emission source. Among them, the Naphtha Cracking Center (NCC), which produces ethylene, propylene, propane and mixed C4, consumes large amounts of energy and emits significant amounts of CO₂. For this reason, an integrated techno economic- environmental impact assessment aimed at reducing energy consumption and environmental impact factors is necessary to ensure efficiency in terms of economics and environment. This study aims to analyze the efficiency of the heat exchanger network used in the existing NCC base on the pinch analysis and select an improvement plan that can reduced energy consumption. In order to reduces the utility consumption in the process, an optimal heat exchanger network considering the high-temperature and low-temperature stream was derived, and the economic evaluation was conducted by considering the trade-off between the reduction in utility consumption and the increase in heat exchanger installation cost. In addition, an environmental impact assessment was conducted on the reduced CO₂ emission in consideration of the environmental aspect, and the economic environmental impact assessment used the payback period to recover the invested funds to come up with an energy saving plan that can be applied based on the actual process. As a result of considering the economic-environmental impact assessment, when the environmental impact assessment was not considered, it was 4.29 months, 3.21 months, and 3.39 months for each case, and when considering the environmental impact assessment, it was 4.24 months, 3.17 months, and 3.35 months for each case. These results appeared equally both when the environmental impact assessment was not include and when it was include. In addition, a sensitivity analysis was conducted for each case to determine how important factors affect the payback period. As a result of the sensitivity analysis, the cost of the heat exchanger was identified as a major factor influencing the overall cost.

1960년대까지는 저팽창단백포가 유류화재의 진압에 주로 사용되었으니 불소화합물 계면활성제로부터 유출된 합성 AFFF를 개발하면서 해수로도 이의 사용이 가능하고 지역 및 유출화재 예방에서 AFFF 특유의 초기진압효과 및 대형화재를 방지한다는 장점 때문에 널리 사용되고 있으며, 석유화학산업의 저장탱크지역 및 공정지역에서 AFFF와 FPF가 주로 사용되며 부두시설(Oilrig, Marine Tanker, 해상 / 해변터미널)에는 AFFF의 사용이 지배적이다. 현재 사용되고 있는 foam으로는 단백포(Protein: PF), 불화단백포(Fluoroprotein: FPF), 막형성 불화단백포(Film Forming Fluoroprotein Foam: FFFP), 고팽창폼(High Expansion Foam), 수성막 형성폼(Aqueous Film Foaming Foam: AFFF), 알콜폼(Alcohol Resistant Foam: ATD) 등이 있으니 본고에서는 AFFF 중심으로 소개한다.

It is widely accepted that the prevention of global warming requires significant reductions in greenhouse gases, particularly CO₂ emissions. Although fossil fuel-based power plants account for the majority of CO₂ emissions, it is urgent to reduce CO₂ emissions in industries that emit large amounts of CO₂ such as steel, petrochemical, and oil refining. This paper examines the current status of CO₂ emission in the domestic oil refining industry and CO₂ emission sources in each unit process in the oil refining industry. Focusing on the previously developed CO₂ capture process, cases and applicability of greenhouse gas reduction in FCC and hydrogen manufacturing processes, which are major processes constituting the oil refining industry, are reviewed.

Due to the high price volatility and environmental concern of petroleum, biofuels such as bioethanol produced from lignocellulosic biomass have attracted much attention. It is also expected that the amount of lignin residue generated from pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass will increase as the volume of cellulosic bioethanol increases. Lignin is a natural aromatic polymer and has very complex chemical structures with chemical functional groups. Chemical modification of lignin such as oxypropylation and epoxidation has also been applied to the production of value-added bioplastics such as polyurethane and polyester with enhanced thermal and mechanical properties. In addition, lignin can be used for carbon fiber production in automobile industries. This review highlights recent progresses in utilizations and chemical modifications of lignin for the production of bioplastics, resins, and carbon fiber.

In order to investigate the effect of the oxidation process on thermal properties of the pitch, the oxidized pitch was prepared by changing the oxidation temperature. Thermal properties of the pitch were analyzed using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and it divided into three sections as A (25~100 ℃), B (250~550 ℃) and C (550~800 ℃) by derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) graph behavior. In the A section, the was reduced because the moisture contained in the pitch was removed. In the B section, as the oxidation temperature increased, the thermal stability of the pitch is improved. Because the degree of aromaticity and molecular weight of the pitch increased with increasing oxidation temperature. In contrast, the results of the C section were shown opposite of B section. Because the introduced C-OH, C-O-C, and C=O bonds were decomposed, and the resulting oxygen compounds induced the combustion reaction of the pitch.
