Two types of mesoporous carbons, CMK-3 and CMK-5, were prepared using mesoporous silica as a removable template, and their hydrogen storage capacities were evaluated. For the purpose of comparison, MWCNT (multi-walled carbon nanotubes) was selected and the adsorption of hydrogen was measured. The amount of hydrogen adsorbed on carbon materials was found to be closely related to the surface areas of carbon samples: The higher the surface area of the carbon material, the larger amount of hydrogen was adsorbed. The hydrogen storage capacity increased in the order of CMK-5 > CMK-3 > MWCNT. In addition, hydrogen storage capacity was greatly enhanced by the Pd-doping onto CMK-5. When the metallic Pd was doped on the carbon material, the adsorption amount of hydrogen via a hydrogen spill-over mechanism was crucial to the hydrogen storage capacity of Pd-doped CMK-5.

The reduction of $SO_2$ to elemental sulfur by CO over a series of iron niobate with nominal Nb/Fe atomic ratios of 1/0, 10/1, 5/1, 1/1, 1/5, 1/10 and 0/1 was studied with a flow fixed-bed reactor. Strong synergistic phenomena in catalytic activity and selectivity were observed for the iron niobate catalysts, and the best catalytic performance was observed for the catalyst with Fe/Nb atomic ratio of 1/1. The active phase of the activated iron niobate catalysts was identified to be $FeS_2$ using XRD and XPS. Selective reduction of $SO_2$ by CO was followed by the COS intermediate mechanism.

A life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology was employed to evaluate environmental impact of recycled polyol from polyurethane in an R&D stage and to suggest future direction for improvement of environmental performance of the recycling technology. The comparison result shows between recycled polyol in the developing stage and in the anticipated mass production with virgin polyol production that environmental impact of recycled polyol of the developing stage and the anticipated mass production level correspond to 93%, 60% of that of virgin polyol, respectively. The LCA result identifies improvement areas of reducing environmental impact in recycling polyols, that is, use of alkylene oxide and steam. In the future research, this must be taken into consideration for better performance of recycling technology.

Ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) has been usually used for various applications. Bottom ash generated in thermoelectric power plant is hardly recycled. In this study, EPDM/bottom ash/talc composites were prepared by using roll-mill. Bottom ashes obtained from thermoelectric power plant were modified using surfactant. The processing materials used in this study were antioxidant, processing oil, cross-linking co-agent and softening agent. Morphology and physical properties of EPDM composites are investigated by using SEM, TGA, UTM and Rheometer. As a result, when modified ash and talc are added to EPDM composites, the tensile strength and modulus of EPDM composites were remarkably enhanced.

The feasibility of the use of porous fossil diatoms for indoor air pollution control was investigated via the characterization of physical and chemical properties. The fossil diatoms were observed by SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope). Diatomite had well-distributed pores below 5 nm and relatively large surface area compare to sericite. However, no porosity in sericite was found. Results showed that diatomite had better performance than sericite in respect to porosity and large surface area. But diatomite which is thermally treated at $950^{\circ}C$ has no porosity and low surface area because of combustion of fossil diatoms or calcination of inorganic oxide at high temperature, and has poor adsorption capability of ammonia gas. In conclusion, porous diatomite has relatively high performance to adsorb noxious chemical compounds, such as ammonia gas and VOCs.

In response to national and international regulations for resource circulation and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the automotive industry has tried to reuse scrap parts and defective products produced in the disposal or production stages as recycled resources. Attempts have been made to reach the target recycling rate by reducing the number of material types required for each part. Moreover, in order to achieve greenhouse gas reduction targets while maintaining the performance of existing products, lighter components are being developed. Existing products were 100% incinerated at the disposal stage, but the uni-materialized products were improved to be possible that it could be recycled 90% through scraps and the defective product in the pre-production and production stage. It also appears that the fuel efficiency improves through 56% lightweight compared to the existing product. In this paper, a preliminary assessment is conducted on the applicability of uni-materialized product development of car parts. The environmental impact values of existing products and developed prototypes are compared and analyzed through life cycle assessment.

This paper shows the positivistic approach for analyzing the effect of ICT on the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission. The real-time navigation was selected for the ICT based service in this research, and the CO2 reduction ratios of the optimized routes in the navigation were compared with the reduction ratios of the shortest routes in existing navigations. The results of experiments showed the driving based on the optimized routes has more reduction effects than the driving on the basis of the shortest routes. Also, new evaluation method for GHG emission was suggested by the quantification and monitoring approaches on the basis of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) in this paper. The results of this paper can be used as a preliminary research for the effect of ICT on the reduction of GHG emission. The evaluation method which suggested in this paper will be suggested to CDM as the new standard for the reduction of GHG emission in the transportation field as well.

전이금속(transition metal) 질화물(nitride)은 높은 경도, 내마모성, 부식 저항성 그리고 내열성 등과 같은 우수한 기계적 물성 때문에 많은 연구가 되어 왔다. 이 중 질화 티타늄은 높은 경도, 내식 및 내마모의 우수한 기계적 특성으로 공구(tool)와 같은 제품의 수명 향상을 위한 표면 코팅으로 사용되어 왔으며, 금(gold)색의 미려한 색상을 이용한 제품의 외관 표면처리, 정형외과 및 치과용 보형물의 수명 및 안정성 향상 등 다양한 분야에 응용 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Cathodic Arc 코팅 방식을 이용하여 질화 티타늄을 합성하였으며, 경사 코팅에 따른 단층 및 다층 피막(3-layer)의 미세조직 변화와 그 물성을 평가하였다. 아크 소스에 장착된 타겟은 99.5%의 Ti 타겟을 사용하였고, 시편과 타겟 간의 거리는 약 31 cm이며, 시편은 알코올과 아세톤으로 초음파 세척 된 냉연강판과 SUS 304를 사용하였다. 시편을 진공용기에 장착하고 ~10-6 Torr까지 진공배기를 실시하고, Ar 가스를 진공용기 내로 공급하여 ~10-4 Torr에서 시편에 bias (Pulse : 400V)를 인가한 후 아크를 발생시켜 약 5분간 청정을 실시하였다. 플라즈마 청정이 끝나면 시편에 인가된 bias를 차단하고 코팅하였다. 경사 코팅을 위한 시편의 회전각은 $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$이며, 질화 티타늄의 두께는 약 $3{\mu}m$로 동일하게 코팅 하였다. 경사 코팅된 박막의 경우는 동일 시간 코팅하였을 경우 경사각이 커질수록 두께가 감소하였다. 경사각에 따라 코팅 층이 성장하였고, Bias를 인가 할 경우에는 경사 입사의 효과가 상쇄됨이 관찰되었다. 또한 경사 코팅에 의해 제조된 티타늄 질화물의 경도는 저하 되었으며, $30^{\circ}$와 $60^{\circ}$에 비해 $45^{\circ}$ 경우 경도 저하가 가장 적었다. 결론적으로 Cathodic 아크 코팅 방법으로 질화티타늄을 합성하였고, 경사 코팅을 통해 박막의 미세조직 변화를 확인 하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 이용하여 다양한 구조로 박막의 성장을 유도 할 수 있으며, 이를 통해 경도, 내마모성, 내식성 등의 물성을 변화시킬 수 있는 장점을 가질 것으로 예상된다.

Mild pyrolysis of four different coals (two bituminous coals and two Korean antracite) was investigated. Desulfurization characteristics, weight loss and variation of heating values were studied. As operating variables of experiment, pyrolysis temperature($350{\sim}550^{\circ}C$), pyrolysis time(5~20 min.) and particle size(0~3.55mm) were examined. The maximum sulfur removal rate of bituminous coal and anthracite were 38% and 28%, respectively. The optimum mild pyrolysis conditions were 10~15 min for pyrolysis time and $450{\sim}550^{\circ}C$ for pyrolysis temperature. The mild pyrolysis was effective to reduce organic sulfur content. Heating values of char per mass after pyrolysis increased about 5% compared to raw coal. The effect of coal particle size on the desulfurization was not observed.
