천연가스의 수증기 및 이산화탄소 복합 개질은 탄화수소화합물과 이산화탄소를 원료로 사용하여 수소를 생산하는 공정으로, 온실가스로 지목되고 있는 주요 화합물을 수소와 일산화탄소 혼합 가스로 전환시켜 합성 반응 또는 연료전지에 사용할 수 있도록 해준다. 본 연구에서는 $MgAl_2O_4$를 지지체로 하는 니켈계 촉매를 제조하여 수증기 및 이산화탄소 복합 개질 반응에 사용하였으며, 기존의 수증기 개질촉매 적용 시 문제가 되었던 탄소 침적에 의한 촉매 비활성화를 피할 수 있었다. 개발된 촉매 레시피를 바탕으로 펠릿 촉매를 제조하여 0.1 bpd규모의 Fischer-Tropsch 합성 반응에 적용 가능한 튜브형 반응기에 적용하여 수증기 및 이산화탄소 복합 개질 반응을 실시하였으며, 반응기의 온도 구배, 가스 조성 변화를 관찰하였다. 반응 조건에 따른 촉매 및 반응기의 성능 최적화를 실시하여 최적 촉매 및 반응기 성능을 모색하고자 하였다.

We study nonlinearities of $CO_2$ emissions and economic growth m Korea using the Smooth Transition Autoregressive (or STAR) model. We find evidence for nonlinearities and cyclical regime changes of both time series. In the extended nonlinear empirical work, we characterize dynamic properties of the two time series and then find mutually significant Granger causality between $CO_2$ emissions and economic growth. All these empirical evidences together reinforce long standing concern that economy-wide restrictions on $CO_2$ emissions would hurt economic growth for Korean styled medium industrialized countries.

Some ionic liquids are suitable for catalysts and solvents which are applicable to $CO_2$ fixation reaction converting $CO_2$ to carbonate. Using the ionic liquids, the synthesis process will become greener and simpler because of easy catalyst recycling and unnecessary use of volatile and harmful organic solvents. In this work, the synthesis of propylene carbonate from propylene oxide using carbon dioxide and ionic liquids were measured at high pressures up to ~140 bar and at temperatures between $60^{\circ}C$ and $80^{\circ}C$. As a results, we found the optimum condition and obtained the maximum yield under that condition.

Primary and secondary amine-based sorbents were synthesized to investigate the operation capacity for the carbon dioxide separation TSA process. (3-Aminopropyl) triethoxysilane was used as a primary amine precursor as a crosslinking agent to synthesize a secondary amine precursor in which amine groups were crosslinked with a crosslinking agent. Carbon dioxide absorbed by primary amines is completely separated above 170 ℃. The working capacity of the primary amine absorbent was less than 2% when regenerated at 130℃. The secondary amine absorbent has a higher carbon dioxide separation capacity at a lower regeneration temperature than the primary amine absorbent. The secondary amine absorbent could predict process operation performance of about 6.5% with 2% carbon dioxide absorption and 100% carbon dioxide regeneration conditions. Therefore, it was found that the working capacity of the secondary amine absorbent was higher than that of the primary amine.

Global warming has mentioned as one of the international problems and these researches have conducted. Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technology has improved due to increasing importance of reducing emission of carbon dioxide. Among of various CCUS technologies, mineral carbonation can converted $CO_2$ into high-cost materials with low energy. Existing researches has been used ions extracted solid wastes for mineral carbonation but the procedure is complicated. However, the procedure using seawater is simple because it contained high concentration of metal cation. This research is a basic study using seawater-based wastewater for mineral carbonation. 3 M Monoethanolamine (MEA) was used as $CO_2$ absorbent. Making various concentrations of seawater solution, simulated seawater powder was used. Precipitated metal carbonate salts were produced by mixing seawater solutions and $rich-CO_2$ absorbent solution. They were analyzed by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and studied characteristic of producing precipitated metal carbonate and possibility of reusing absorbent.

이산화탄소 규제 대응 전략으로, 배출되는 온실가스를 분리, 회수, 처리하는 연구가 지속적으로 진행되고 있다. 현재 이산화탄소 저감 연구는 공정개발 초기부터 이산화탄소 배출을 방지하거나 분리하기 쉬운 형태로 설계하는 방식으로 전환되고 있다. 그 예로 고온 순산소 연소 시스템이 제안되었다. 이는 $CO_2$를 가장 효과적으로 저감시키는 방법 중의 하나로 연소에 사용되는 산화제로 순산소를 사용하여 원료를 절감할 수 있고 산소를 사용하기 때문에 배가스 중에 질소분율이 감소하여 배가스에 의한 현열손실을 줄일 수 있으며 또한 배가스 현열을 회수하여 산소를 고온으로 예열시켜 에너지를 추가적으로 절감할 수 있다. 이를 위해 산소를 선택적으로 투과시켜 고순도 산소를 제조할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 산소제조 장치비를 절감할 수 있는 ITM (Ion Transport Membrane) 신소재 및 산소 투과 공정을 개발하고자 한다.

이산화탄소는 메탄, 오존, 산화질소, CFC등의 온실기체 중 약 50%를 차지하는 물질로서 이산화탄소 발생의 저감과 함께 회수 기술의 개발을 통한 배출량 억제는 환경적 측면에서 대단히 중요한 것으로 간주되고 있다. 따라서 각종 산업분야에서 발생하는 다양한 성분을 가진 다성분계 배가스내에 존재하는 10%내외의 이산화탄소만을 분리정제 농축하여 메탄, 메탄올 등의 다른 화학물질의 제조의 원료, 신에너지원, 고부가가치의 신제품 등으로 전환하는 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다.(중략)

The condensation reaction of (benzylene)triphenylphosphoranes with carbonyl compounds in supercritical carbon dioxide was examined. Reactions of (benzylene)phosphoranes (ca. 1 mmol) with several benzaldehydes in a supercritical carbon dioxide (80 $^{\circ}C$, 2,000 psi) containing THF entrainer (5%) in a 24 mL reactor proceed smoothly to yield olefination products in fairly good to excellant yields but slower, compared to reactions in a conventional THF solvent. Generally, phosphoranes that are not substituted with a nitro group show more (Z)-selective reactions with aromatic aldehydes under $scCO_2$ condition than in THF. The reaction of (benzylene)triphenylphosphoranes with 4-t-butylcyclohexanone gave the corresponding olefin compounds with a low conversion under both the supercritical carbon dioxide and the organic THF solvent. Our preliminary study showed the Wittig reaction carries out smoothly in supercritical carbon dioxide medium and also a possibile tunability of this reaction pathway by adding a entrainer. The results would be useful for devising a novel process for the environmentally friendly Wittig reaction.

In this study, we have investigated the kinetics on the char-CO₂ catalytic gasification reaction. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) experiments were carried out for char-CO₂ catalytic gasification of an Indonesian Kideco sub-bituminous. Na₂CO₃ and K₂CO₃ were selected as catalysts which were physically mixed with coal. The char-CO₂ catalytic gasification reaction showed a rapid increase of carbon conversion rate at 850 ℃, 60 vol% CO₂, and 7 wt% Na₂CO₃. At the isothermal conditions ranging from 750 ℃ to 900 ℃, the carbon conversion rates increased as the temperature increased. Four kinetic models for gas-solid reaction including the shrinking core model (SCM), random pore model (RPM), volumetric reaction model (VRM), and modified volumetric reaction model (MVRM) were applied to the experimental data against the measured kinetic data. The gasification kinetics were suitably described by the MVRM for the Kideco sub-bituminous. The activation energies for each char mixed with Na₂CO₃ and K₂CO₃ were found 55-71 kJ/mol and 69-87 kJ/mol.

The objective of this study is development of carbon recycle technology which convert carbon dioxide captured from flue gas to carbon monoxide or carbon and reuse in industrial fields. Since carbon dioxide is very stable and difficult to decompose, metal oxide was used as activation agent for the decomposition of carbon dioxide at low temperature. Metal oxides which convert $CO_2$ to CO or carbon were prepared using Ba-ferrite by solid and hydrothermal synthesis. TPR/TPO and TGA were used in this study. The results of TPR by H2 and TPO by $CO_2$ showed that Ba-ferrite powders synthesized by hydrothermal method were better than those by solid method. TGA showed contrary results that reduction of Ba-ferrite powders synthesized using solid method by $H_2$ was 21.96 wt%, oxidation by $CO_2$ was 21.24 wt% and 96.72 wt% of $CO_2$ decomposition efficiency showing excellent oxidation-reduction characteristics at $500^{\circ}C$.
