Mg 및 Mg합금은 수소 저장량이 7.6wt.%로 비교적 높고 자원도 풍부하여 값이 싼 장점을 가지고 있으나 산화반응성이 높고 활성화 에너지가 크기 때문에 반응온도가 높고 반응시간이 긴 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해 일반적으로 Mg 및 Mg합금의 표면 개질화, 금속간 화합물 형성, 전이금속 첨가에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전이금속인 Nb를 촉매제로 사용하여 수소화 특성을 개선하고자 기계적 합금화법(MA;Mechanical Alloying)을 실시하여 복합재료를 합성한 후 수소화 반응을 평가하였다. XRD, SEM, TEM, PSA, TG/DSC 분석을 수행하였으며 Sievert's 형 PCT를 이용하여 온도 및 압력 변화에 따른 특성평가를 하였다. 전이금속인 Nb의 첨가로 수소화 반응개시온도가 낮아지고 수소 저장량이 향상되는 거동을 보였다. 특히, 5mass%Nb가 10mass%Nb 보다 수소 저장량 및 반응속도가 좋은 결과를 보였다.

Devices that mimic the natural photosynthetic pathway are of considerable interest as fuel sources. Quantum yield of viologen radical formation in several water-in-oil microemulsion system were measured. The yield of hexadecylviologen radical formation in microemulsion system using EDTA as an electron donor, ruthenium bipyridinium complex as photosensitizer, and hexadecylviologen as an electron acceptor was 12%. When benzylnicotinamide was inserted in the interface of the microemulsion and azo compound was dissolved in oil face, the quantum yield of hydroazo compound was 0.16. Organic dye (Rose bengal) was used as photosensitizer for the photoinduced electron transfer reaction. In anionic microemulsion no electrontransfer was observed.

Gas hydrates are solid crystal structures formed by enclathration of gaseous guest species into 3-dimensional lattice structure of hydrogen-bonded water molecules. These compounds can be potentially used as an energy storage/transportation medium because they can hold a large amount of gas in a small volume of the solid phase. In addition, huge amount of natural gas, buried in seabeds or permafrost region in the form of the solid hydrate, is regarded as a future energy source. In this study, synthesized natural gas, whose composition is 90.0 mol% of methane, 7.0 mol% of ethane, and 3.0 mol% of propane, was used to identify formation behaviors of natural gas hydrates for the purpose of applying the gas hydrate to a storage/transportation medium of natural gas. According to the experimental results obtained by means of the solid-state NMR and high-resolution powder XRD methods, it is found that formed natural gas hydrates have crystal structure of the structure-II hydrate, and that methane occupies both small and large cages, while the others only occupy large ones. In addition, both the NMR spectroscopy and the gas chromatograph showed that there exists preferential occupation among the natural gas components during the hydrate formation. Compositional changes after the hydrate formation revealed that the preferential occupation is in order of propane, ethane, and methane (propane is the most preferential guest species when forming natural gas hydrates).

저분자량의 가스와 물이 물리적 결합으로 이루어진 가스 하이드레이트는 상대적으로 많은 양의 가스가 포집될 수 있다는 특성을 이용하여 다양한 분야에서 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 매립지에서 발생되는 매립가스를 하이드레이트의 원리를 이용하여 효율적으로 저장 및 수송하기위한 공정에 적용하기위해 필요한 매립지 가스 하이드레이트의 상평형에 대한 특성을 분석하고자한다. 일반적으로 매립지 가스에는 메탄이 약 50%, 이산화탄소가 약 35%, 질소가 약 6% 포함되어 있으며 그 밖에 산소, 수분, 암모니아 황화수소 메르캅탄 등 할로겐 계통을 포함한 탄화수소계화합물 수십여종이 포함되어 있다. 이러한 매립지가스를 하이드레이트화 하기위해서는 매립지가스에 포함된 다양한 성분들이 하이드레이트 형성에 미치는 영향을 알아볼 필요가 있다. 특히 황화수소의 경우 독성이 있으며, 실제 플랜트에서 장비의 부식등 악영향을 미치므로 이와 관련한 기초 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 메탄, 이산화탄소, 황화수소가 각각 49.9%, 50.05%, 500ppm의 조성으로 이루어진 혼합가스를 이용하여 하이드레이트 생성 및 해리 시 거동을 측정하고 그 상평형 영역을 기존데이터와 비교분석 하였다. 25bar, 36bar에서 측정한 상평형 데이터는 한국해양대학교 에서 측정한 결과와 마찬가지로 실제 상평형 영역이 CSMHYD 프로그램으로 예측한 것보다 하이드레이트의 안정영역이 약 2bar 정도 높게 형성되는 것을 확인하였으며, $CH_4+CO_2+H_2S$ 혼합가스 하이드레이트의 생성 시 mol consumption은 $CH_4+CO_2$ 혼합가스 하이드레이트와 유사하게 나타났다. 이 결과로 유추하건대, 황화수소의 첨가는 하이드레이트의 형성 압력을 높이지만, 하이드레이트 형성률에는 크게 영향을 미치지 않는다고 할 수 있다.

메탄 하이드레이트는 낮은 온도와 높은 압력 조건에서 물분자들의 격자구조에 메탄가스분자가 포획되어 수소결합으로 형성되는 외관상 얼음과 비슷한 결정성 화합물이다. $1m^3$의 메탄 하이드레이트는 표준상태에서 $172m^3$의 메탄가스와 $0.8m^3$의 물로 분해되며, $-10^{\circ}C{\sim}-20^{\circ}C$의 온도에서는 하이드레이트 입자표면에서 생성되는 얼음막으로 인하여 상압에서도 안정하게 존재하는 자기보존 효과를 가지고 있다. 따라서 이와 같은 특징을 천연가스 수송 및 저장의 방법으로 이용할 경우 $-162^{\circ}C$의 초저온을 만들고 유지시키기 위하여 고가의 설비를 필요로 하는 기존의 LNG 수송방법을 대체할 수 있다. 특히 연간 천연가스 소비량을 0.4 ~ 1.0 million ton으로 가정했을 때, 하이드레이트 수송방법은 LNG 수송에 비해 18 ~ 25% 정도의 비용을 절약할 수 있는 경제적인 방법으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 하이드레이트를 인공적으로 제조할 경우 물분자와 가스분자의 반응율이 낮기 때문에 하이드레이트가 생성되기까지 많은 시간이 소요되며, 하이드레이트에 포획되는 가스분자의 양도 적다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 다공성 물질인 천연 제올라이트와 제올라이트 13X를 이용하여 제올라이트 혼합유체를 제조하였으며, 메탄가스와 반응시켜 하이드레이트를 생성시키는 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 하이드레이트 생성 시 천연 제올라이트와 제올라이트 13X 모두 0.01 wt%의 혼합비율에서 가장 좋은 효과를 나타내었으며, 하이드레이트에 포획된 가스의 양은 같은 과냉도 조건에서 천연제올라이트와 제올라이트 13X 혼합유체를 이용하여 하이드레이트를 생성 시켰을 때, 증류수보다 각각 4배, 5배 높음을 보였다. 또한 낮은 과냉도에서 하이드레이트 생성 시 제올라이트, 제올라이트13X 혼합유체에서 하이드레이트 생성시간이 증류수에서 하이드레이트를 생성시킬 때보다 빨라짐을 확인하였다.

To develope a process by which liquid foods can be stored in the liquid state at the frozen storage temperature, suitable cryoprotectants were selected. Orange juice, chosen as an example of liquid foods, was stored with combined cryoprotectants at $-15^{\circ}C$, and quality changes of orange juice during storage were evaluated. Among 7 cryoprotectants tested, NaCl solution had lower initial freezing point than others, and initial freezing points of glucose, fructose, glycerol, propylene glycol and citric acid were close to each other. Considering flavor quality of orange juice, cryoprotectants suitable for reducing freezing point of orange juice were glucose, fructose, glycerol, and citric acid. Combined cryoprotectants for reducing freezing point of 3 and 4 folds concentrated orange juice to $-15^{\circ}C$ consisted of 10% glucose, 8% frutose, 4.6% glycerol and 3% citric acid, and 5.5% glucose, 4.5% fructose, 4.6% glycerol, and 3% cirtric acid, respectively. When destruction of ascorbic acid, sedimentation volume and sensory flavor score of orange juice stored with combined cryoprotectants at $-15^{\circ}C$ and the control stored at $-18^{\circ}C$ were compared, there were no significant differences. These results indicated that liquid foods with suitable combined cryoprotectants could be stored at $-15^{\circ}C$ or below in the liquid state without adverse effect on quality of the stored products.

Since carbon dioxide, $CO_2$, was revealed as a major greenhouse gas, techniques for its separation, capture, and storage have received increasing interest in recent years. Aqueous amines are the most widely accepted $CO_2$ absorbents, but they cause the problems such as high regeneration energy, thermal degradation, and loss of absorbents due to their volatility. Ionic liquids having high thermal stability, extremely low vapor pressure, and capability of selectively absorbing specific gases have been proposed as new $CO_2$ capturing solvents which may potentially replace aqueous amines. By reviewing the ionic liquids having capability to absorb $CO_2$ reported in previous papers, we seek to develop a comprehensive understanding on the factors that influence the $CO_2$ solubility in ionic liquids such as their structures, absorption temperature, pressure, water content, etc., and to estimate the potential of ionic liquids as $CO_2$ separating media.

Microwave energy (2450 MHz) was applied to extract health-effective component (HEC) from grape seed. Three different solvents approved for grape seed extract such as water, ethanol and acetone, were confirmed in their microwave-heating properties and by which extraction efficiencies were determined. Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) was performed under different parameters; microwave power : (0, 50, 100 and 150), time : (1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 min), the sample to solvent ratio : (1:20, 1:10, 1:5 and 1:2.5), and particle size(whole, 20, 40 and 60 mesh) and the subsequent extracts were used for determining their physicochemical properties, such as total yield : (TY), total phenolics : (TP), catechin content : (CC), electron donating ability : (EDA), and browning color. The heating properties of solvent demonstrated the optimal ranges of microwave and time as 100 W and 2 to 6 min. The TY and HFC content were higher with increasing powers in water and ethanol solvent, while HFC content were lower in acetone at over 100 W. The longer of extraction time up to 5 min, the higher extraction efficiency. Based upon the overall MAE efficiency and solvent recovery, it was found optimal to use 10 times volume of ethanol for 10 mesh of seed particle at 100 W.

Porous nanofibers comprising hollow ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ nanospheres were prepared by applying both template method and Kirkendall diffusion effect to electrospinning process. During heat-treatment processes, the solid Fe nano-metals formed by initial heat-treatment in the carbon matrix were converted into the hollow structured ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ nanospheres. In particular, PS nanobeads added in the spinning solution were decomposed and formed numerous channels in the composite, which served as a good pathway for Kirkendall diffusion gas. The resulting porous nanofibers comprising hollow ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ nanospheres were applied as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries. The discharge capacities of the nanofibers for the 30th cycle at a high current density of $1.0A\;g^{-1}$ was $776mA\;h\;g^{-1}$. The good lithium ion storage property was attributed to the synergetic effects of the hollow ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ nanospheres and the interstitial nanovoids between the nanospheres. The synthetic method proposed in this study could be applied to the preparation of porous nanofibers comprising hollow nanospheres with various composition for various applications, including energy storage.
