In a petrochemical complex, large amount of hydrogen is produced as a by-product and used as a fuel in petrochemical and oil refinery plants. By recycling this byproduct hydrogen as a raw material, the value of hydrogen can be greatly improved. This paper proposes a design methodology for optimal hydrogen recycle network between plants in petrochemical complex by analyzing the hydrogen pinch, required cost and constraints.

Based on Korea's Hydrogen Economy Activation Roadmap, an annual supply of 5.26 million tonnes of hydrogen is required by 2040. But if the hydrogen production from byproduct, extraction, and electrolysis of water is not able to meet the target which is 50% of total production, it would be necessary to increase the portion of imported hydrogen. Therefore, it is essential to secure a variety of sources for overseas production. In this technical report, hydrogen production/transportation policies, current condition, and future prospects of Canada, a major supply candidate, is examined and an example of blue hydrogen project which is considered the most realistic hydrogen supply method is introduced.

악취 물질은 주로 피혁공장, 화학공장, 유지공장, 슬러지처리장 등에서 발생하며 작업장 내의 근로자뿐만 아니라 인근 지역주민들에게 정신적인 불쾌감을 주는 동시에 인체에 매우 유해한 물질들이다. 이들 악취물질중 유황화합물질로는 황화수소, 머켑탄류가 있으며 아주 적은 농도에서도 악취를 느낄 수 있고 자극이 매우 심하다. 특히, 황화수소와 메틸머켑탄은 거의 모든 악취의 주요 원인물질로서 작업현장 내에 혼합물질로 존재하며, 쾌적한 작업환경을 위해서는 이들의 처리가 반드시 필요하다. (중략)

Because hydrogen has very low density, a different storage method is required to store the same amount of energy as fossil fuel. One way to increase the density of hydrogen is through liquefaction. However, since the liquefied temperature of hydrogen is extremely low at -252 ℃, it is easily vaporized by external heat input. When liquid hydrogen is vaporized, a self-pressurizing phenomenon occurs in which the pressure inside the hydrogen tank increases, so when designing the tank, this rising pressure must be carefully predicted. Therefore, in this paper, the internal pressure of a cryogenic liquid fuel tank was predicted according to the liquid hydrogen filling ratio. A one-dimensional thermodynamic model was applied to predict the pressure rise inside the tank. The thermodynamic model considered heat transfer, vaporization of liquid hydrogen, and fuel discharging. Finally, it was confirmed that there was a significant difference in pressure behavior and maximum rise pressure depending on the filling ratio of liquid hydrogen in the fuel tank.

In today's global energy market, the importance of green energy is emerging. Hydrogen energy is the future clean energy source and one of the pollution-free energy sources. In particular, the fuel cell method using hydrogen enhances the flexibility of renewable energy and enables energy storage and conversion for a long time. Therefore, it is considered to be a solution that can solve environmental problems caused by the use of fossil resources and energy problems caused by exhaustion of resources simultaneously. The purpose of this study is to efficiently produce hydrogen using plasma, and to study the optimization of DME reforming by checking the reforming reaction and yield according to temperature. The research method uses a 2.45 GHz electromagnetic plasma torch to produce hydrogen by reforming DME(Di Methyl Ether), a clean fuel. Gasification analysis was performed under low temperature conditions ($T3=1100^{\circ}C$), low temperature peroxygen conditions ($T3=1100^{\circ}C$), and high temperature conditions ($T3=1376^{\circ}C$). The low temperature gasification analysis showed that methane is generated due to unstable reforming reaction near $1100^{\circ}C$. The low temperature peroxygen gasification analysis showed less hydrogen but more carbon dioxide than the low temperature gasification analysis. Gasification analysis at high temperature indicated that methane was generated from about $1150^{\circ}C$, but it was not generated above $1200^{\circ}C$. In conclusion, the higher the temperature during the reforming reaction, the higher the proportion of hydrogen, but the higher the proportion of CO. However, it was confirmed that the problem of heat loss and reforming occurred due to the structural problem of the gasifier. In future developments, there is a need to reduce incomplete combustion by improving gasifiers to obtain high yields of hydrogen and to reduce the generation of gases such as carbon monoxide and methane. The optimization plan to produce hydrogen by steam plasma reforming of DME proposed in this study is expected to make a meaningful contribution to producing eco-friendly and renewable energy in the future.

청정에너지 개발은 화석연료를 대체하기 위하여 꾸준한 관심을 받고 있다. 많은 대체에너지중 수소는 그 반응물이 순수한 물로써 환경오염이 없다. 기존의 수소를 얻어내는 방법은 메탄을 고온 고압에서 수증기와 반응시켜 얻는데 이 때 이산화탄소가 생성이 된다. 전기화학적 물분해 방법은 물을 수소와 산소로 선택적으로 분해시킬 수 있는 방법이다. $TiO_2$는 전기적으로 합성할 때 표면의 구조제어가 쉽고 열역학적, 화학적 안정성이 높아 자체의 높은 밴드갭(3.0~3.2 eV)에도 불구하고 산업적으로 염소분해 전극으로써 사용되고 있으며 최근에는 물분해 전극으로도 적용하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 전기화학적 물분해 반응을 위해서는 높은 과전압이 요구되므로 산업적으로 이용하기 위해 전도성을 향상시키기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 낮은 전압에서도 물을 분해할 수 있는 촉매제의 도핑이 연구되고 있으나 대부분 촉매로 사용되는 금속은 루테늄과 이리듐 등의 귀금속이다. 본 연구에서는 저가촉매로써 몰리브덴을 도핑한 후 농도별 성능을 비교하였다. 전극의 성능비교를 위해 각 촉매의 농도별로 다른 전해질 농도조건에서 성능비교실험을 진행하였다.

As a non-renewable energy source, fossil fuel causes environment problems, numerous efforts have been made for a global decarbonization, for example, the realization of Power 2 Gas (P2G) system as a definitive research goal. In particular, ammonia is regarded as an emerging source since it can be used as a hydrogen carrier and production alongside for fuel cell applications. In this mini-review, we summarized the properties of ammonia and further highlighted the worldwide research trend for its superb potential in hydrogen energy supply industries.

2.45 GHz 마이크로웨이브를 이용하는 electron cyclotron resonance plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(ECR-PECVD)방법으로 다이아몬드성 탄소박막(diamond-like carbon, DLC)을 증착하였다. DLC 박막의 산업 응용을 위해서는 높은 경도와 밀착력이 필요하다. 그래서 본 실험에서는 DLC 박막의 산업 응용을 위하여 ECR-PECVD 방법으로 증착된 DLC 박막의 분석결과로부터 DLC 박막의 물성과 증착조건의 관계를 조사하였다. 기판으로는 실리콘 웨이퍼와 실험용 SUS 판을 사용하였다. 아르곤 가스를 주입하여 ECR 마이크로 웨이브 플라즈마와 negative DC bias로 기판을 플라즈마 세척한 후, 수소와 메탄가스를 반응기체로 하여 DLC 박막을 증착하였다. 박막 증착시에 13.56MHz RF 전원 공급장치로 기판에 전원을 공급하였다. DLC 박막 증착의 변수는 반응기체의 호합율, 마이크로웨이브 파워, 프로세스 압력 및 RF 전원공급장치에서 유도되는 negative self DC bias 등이다. 이때 사용된 반응기체의 혼합율(메탄/수소)은 10~50%이고, 수소 가스 흐름율은 100sccm, 메탄은 10~50sccm이다. 마이크로웨이브의 크기는 360~900W, negative self DC bias는 -500~-10 V였다. 그리고 본 실험에서는 높은 증착율을 고려하여 프로세스 압력을 10~30mTorr까지 조절하였다. ER-PECVD 방법으로 증착된 DLC 박막은 SEM으로 단면, $\alpha$-Step으로 두께, Raman 분광계로 탄소 결합구조, FTIR 분광계로 탄소와 수소 결합구조, Micro-Hardness로 경도 그리고 Scratch Tester로 밀착력 등을 분석하였다.
