The worldwide issue of greenhouse gas reduction has recently drawn great attention to carbon capture and storage(CCS). In this study, we developed a 10,000 ton/year pilot injection plant for geological storage of carbon dioxide. Major components of the pilot plant include a pressure pump, a booster pump, and an inline heater to bring liquid carbon dioxide into its supercritical state. The test results show that the pilot plant readily achieves the injection pressure and temperature, showing satisfactory control performance. The overall power consumption is 2,000 ~ 2,500 W, more than 75% of which consumed by the pressure pump. This study will facilitate varied research on greenhouse gas reduction as the only domestically developed system for geological injection.

In this study, simulation works for a carbon dioxide capture process using solvent absorption method have been performed for decrease of regeneration energy in applying phase transition of liquid solvent. When carbon dioxide is dissolved in 30 wt% MEA solvent, liquid mixture divided into two phase according to mole loading of dissolved carbon dioxide. Using this phenomenon, we can decrease regeneration energy about 61% than primary absorber column-stripper column process.

An organic substance, hydroquinone is used to form clathrate compounds in order to identify separation characteristics of carbon dioxide in flue gas. Formed samples were analyzed by means of the solid-state $^{13}C$ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Raman spectroscopic methods to examine enclthration behaviors of guest species. In addition, elemnetal analysis was also performed in order to evaluate separation efficiency of $CO_2$ in a quantitative way. Based on the experimental results obtained, $CO_2$ molecules are found to be captured into the clathrate compound more readily than $N_2$ molecules. Moreover, because such preferential enclathration is even more significant at low pressure conditions, $CO_2$ separation/recovery from flue gas can be achieved with minimizing additional energy cost for the technique. Experimental results obtained in this study can provide useful information on separation techniques of flue gas or selective separation of gas mixtures in the future.

In this work, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) was added into diethylenetriamine (DETA) aqueous solution for high $CO_2$ loading via phase splitting of absorbents during $CO_2$ absorption. Immiscible two phases were formed in the range of more than 30 wt% of NMP in 2 M DETA + NMP + water absorbents because of low solubility of DETA-carbamate in NMP solution. As the composition of NMP in the absorbents increased, the difference of $CO_2$ loading between each phase increased and the volume of bottom phase decreased. In $CO_2$ absorption in packed column by 2 M DETA + NMP + water absorbents, the absorption rate decreased in the range of more than 40 wt% of NMP. It is due to the increasing of mass transfer resistance in liquid film of absorbents at the high concentration of NMP. DETA + NMP + water absorbent is expected as the promising one for reducing the regeneration energy of absorbents according to volume reduction of $CO_2-rich$ phase.

As global warming became a worldwide issue, a significant effort has been made on the development of technology related to $CO_2$ capture and storage. Geologic sequestration of $CO_2$ is one of those technologies for safe disposal of $CO_2$. Geologic sequestration stores $CO_2$ in the form of supercritical fluid into the underground site surrounded by solid rock, and concrete is used for prevention of $CO_2$ leakage into the atmosphere. In such case, concrete may experience severe damage by attack of supercritical $CO_2$, and especially in contact with underground water, very aggressive form of carbonation can occur. In this work, to prevent such deterioration in concrete, calcium phosphates were added to the portland cement to produce hydroxyapatite, one of the most stable mineral in the world. Temperature rise, viscosity, set and stiffening, and strength development of cement paste incorporating three different types of calcium phosphates were investigated. According to the results, it was found that the addition of calcium phosphate increased apparent viscosity, but decreased maximum temperature rise and 28 day compressive strength. It was found that monocalcium phosphate was found to be inappropriate for portland cement based material. Applicability of dicalcium and tricalcium phosphates for portland cement needs to be evaluated with further investigation, including the long term compressive strength development.
