In general, sulfur containing odorants are added to fuel gases, such as LPG, and city gas, to prevent gas poisoning, ignition, explosion, or other accident caused by fuel gases, and to enable immediate and easy detection of fuel-gas leakage by emitting an offensive smell. In this study, sulfur free odorant for low sulfur fuel and prevention of metal corrosion were developed to replace current sulfur containing odorant for gas fuel. They were selected from 12 odorant containing non-sulfur organic compounds and evaluated by odor olfactory method (odor quality, odor intensity). Finally, selected mixture odorants were methyl isovalerate, methyl acrylate, 2-ethyl-3-methyl pyrazine with blending ratio of 50% : 40% : 10%. Final Sulfur free odorant was added 40 wt ppm in LPG fuels and evaluated fuel quality characteristics, metal corrosion test and long term stability of LPG fuel. It were limit in current LPG fuel standard in fuel quality characteristics. Final Sulfur free odorant also had no influence on metal corrosion and long term stability test with 60 days by adding in LPG fuels. Finally, they were shown to be warning agent candidates to reduce sulfur content and metal corrosion for LPG fuel.

최근 식물성 기름으로부터 생산된 바이오디젤의 보급이 활발해지면서, 그 원료의 안정적 확보에 대한 어려움과 원료가격 상승의 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위한 대안으로 다양한 종류의 기름이 검토되고 있으며, 그 중 하나가 축산 폐유지를 이용한 바이오디젤의 생산이다. 그러나 축산 폐유지로부터 생산된 바이오디젤은 저온유동성이 열악하여 개선이 필요하다. 축산 폐유지 바이오디젤의 저온필터막힘점은 $6{\sim}8^{\circ}C$로 국내 동절기 품질 기준 $0^{\circ}C$ 이하를 만족하지 못한다. 본 연구에서는 축산 폐유지로부터 생산된 바이오디젤의 열악한 저온특성을 개선하기 위해 저온필터막힘점 개선 첨가제 6종을 사용하여 각각의 첨가제 혼합에 의한 저온유동성 개선 효과를 분석하였다. 각각의 첨가제를 1,000 ~ 5,000ppm 범위에서 폐돈지 및 폐우지 바이오디젤에 첨가하였다. 그 결과, Wintron을 제외한 나머지 첨가제는 폐돈지 바이오디젤의 저온필터막힘점을 최저 $0^{\circ}C$까지 개선할 수 있었다. 하지만 폐우지 바이오디젤의 경우, 첨가제에 의한 저온유동성 개선의 효과는 매우 적었다.

아역청탄을 이용하여 제조된 CWM(Coal-Water Mixture)연료의 유변학적 특성을 측 정함으로써 음이온 계면활성제 Temol-N, 안정제 Xanthan 및 전해질 등의 첨가제에 대한 성능을 평가하고 최적첨가조성을 결정하였다. 계면확성제의 흡착으로 인해 석탄입자는 음전 하를 띠게 되었고 표면에 전기이중층이 생성되었다. 전기 이중층의 전기적 반발력이 입자의 응집을 막았고 CWA 슬러리의 점도를 감소시켰다. 또한 Xanthan과 NaOH의 첨가로 인해 분산안정성 및 침강안정성이 향상되는 것을 관찰하였다. CWM에서 석탄입자가 차지하는 부 피비를 무게비로 전환하여 표현하고 분산계에서 입자의 부피비에 따른 점도변화를 예측하는 실험식인 Krieger-Dougherty 식과 Frankel-Acrivos 식에 적용하였다. 점도 실험값을 가지 고 식의 변수들을 결정해 본결과 CWM이 나타내는 점도의 석탄함량에 따른 변화를 위 식 들이 비교적 정확시 나타내 주는 것을 확인하였다.

A study on the H2O2 based low toxic hypergolic propellant was conducted. The fuel candidates were chosen as a mixture of Amine solvent and reactive additive. The analytical performance was calculated via the NASA CEA code and 96% Isp of the NTO/UDMH was confirmed. The ignition delay measurement with drop test was performed and all candidates showed less than 10 ms in the best performance cases. Based on these results, the feasibility of high response H2O2 based low toxic hypergolic propellant was confirmed.

The effects of resin additives and inorganic compounds addition on the thermal decomposition of low density polyethylene(LDPE) resin have been studied in a thermal analyzer(TGA, DSC) and a small batch reactor. The silica-alumina type compounds tested were kaolinite, bentonite, perlite, diatomaceous earth, activated clay and clay. The resin additives were antiforgging-agent and longevity-agent. As the results of TGA experiments, addition of antifogging-agent, longevity-agent and clay increased the temperature of the maximum reaction rate($T_{max}$). The silica-alumina type inorganic materials increased the pyrolysis reraction rate in the order of activated clay, diatomaceous earth, bentonite, perlites, and kaolinite. In the DSC experiments, addition of antifogging-agent and clay decreased the heat of fusion and the heat of pyrolysis reaction. Bentonite decreased 20% of the heat of fusion and 25% of the heat of pyrolysis reaction. In the batch system experiments, the mixing of clay retarded the initial producing rate of fuel oil, but increased the yield of fuel oil. Addition of bentonite increased the yield of fuel oil from LDPE resin. Mixing of antifogging-agent and longevity-agent produced the fuel oil having lower carbon number. The amounts of the carbon number below 12 in fuel oil decreased with adding the clay. That below 23 in fuel oil increased with mixing of bentonite, perlite, kaolinite, and activated clay. But the mixing of diatomaceous earth did not affect the carbon contents of fuel oil from pure LDPE resin. In the silica-alumina type inorganic material used in this experiments, bentonite was the most effective from the pyrolysis heat, yields, and the characteristics of fuel oil.

For the preparation of carbon-slurry fuel, the effects of process parameters on the carbon dispersion stability in the liquid fuel have been investigated. The dispersion stability of carbon-slurry fuels could be monitored by measurements of particle size and carbon contents in the different positions, and observation of dispersion states after centrifuging. Through the application of various additives, it was found that NB463S84 based on polyolefin succinimde showed the best dispersion and longest stability life of carbon-slurry fuel. Also, PIBSI (polyisobutenyl succimide) with the similar functional groups to NB463S84 was effectively synthesized and same dispersion stability was verified by application to carbon-slurry fuel. Finally, the possibility of practical use of carbon-slurry fuels was confirmed by application of the mixing conditions obtained from g scale to kg scale preparation.

When the waste solid fuel (SRF, Bio-SRF) is burnt in a boiler, a problem occurs in the combustion process involving the alkali components (Na, K) contained in large amounts in the fuel. The alkaline component has a low melting point, which usually forms low melting point salt in the temperature of the furnace, with the resulting low melting point salts attaching to the heat pipe to form a clinker. Various additives are used to suppress clinker generation, and the additive based on the kaolinite has alkali-aluminum-silica to inhibit the clinker. In this study, the reactivity of the additives based on the kaolinite was compared. The additives utilized were R-kaolinite, B-kaolinite, and A-kaolinite. Also silica and MgO were sourced as the comparison group. The experimental group was employed as a laboratory-scale batch horizontal reactor. The additive and alkaline salts were reacted at a weight ratio of 1 : 1, and the reaction temperature was performed at 900 ℃ for 10 hours. The first measurement of HCl occurring during the experiment was performed 30 minutes after the detection tube was used, and the process was repeated every hour after the experiment. After the reaction, solid residues were photographed for characterization analysis by means of an optical microscope. The reaction characteristics of the kaolinite were confirmed based on the analysis results.

Halogen-based fire suppressing agents have environmental problems because they cause the stratospheric ozone depletion and globe warming. Hence, fire suppression system using fine water mist became the center of interest as a substitution of halon. As a study about this, it is in progress to make the optimum droplet size by using water mist nozzles and to improve the extinguishing performance of water mist by using additives. Before this study, the extinguishing time of ethanol and n-heptane pool fire was measured with changing of water mist droplet size, flow density, discharge pressure, and fire size. In this study, on adding the additives to improve physical and chemical extinguishing performance of water mist, the extinguishing performance would evaluate and the optimum condition would find out. As a result, in case of ethanol pan 1 pool fire, the extinguishing time of the water mist by adding of 2.5 wt% NaCl and 0.3% AFFF got shorter 27% and 60% than the pure water mist. Adding of AFFF was to decrease the flame temperature by forming thin film on the fuel surface and to decrease the evaporation of n-heptane fuel. In case of NaCl, alkali salt crystals showed on the flame surface.
