Several amide derivatives have been used as additives for base oil of metal working fluids and pressure working oils. In this paper, a series of succinic acid alkyl half-amide derivatives were synthesized as over 97% yields by ring-opening reaction of succinic anhydride and several amines and were soluble in 100 N base oil within 1 wt% concentration. The structures of the synthesized amides were confirmed by $^1H$-NMR, FT-IR spectrum and GC analysis. Anti-corrosion properties of the amides in sea water were evaluated through ASTM D665 method and weight loss method. As the results of anti-corrosion properties, the properties of the amides with shorter alkyl chain and high concentration showed better performance than those with longer alkyl chain and low concentration. Also, the dialkyl amides showed better anti-corrosion properties than those of the monoalkyl amides. Inhibition efficiency% (IE%) was over 93% in the concentration of 40 ppm and corrosion rate (CR) was below 0.5 mm/year in the same concentration.

The synthesis of Fischer-Tropsch oil is the catalytic hydrogenation of CO to give a range of products, which can be used for the production of high-quality diesel fuel, gasoline and linear chemicals. Our cobalt catalyst was prepared Co/alumina, Co/silica and Co/titania by the incipient wetness impregnation of the nitrates of cobalt with supports. Co-based catalysts was calcined at $400^{\circ}C$ before being loaded into the FT reactors. After the reduction of catalyst has carried out under $450^{\circ}C$, FT reaction of the catalyst has carried out at GHSV of 4,000 under $200^{\circ}C$ and 20atm. From test results, the order of increasing activity for the catalyst was Co/alumina > Co/silica > Co/titania. When the content of Co metal such as 5, 12, 20 and 30wt% was changed, an CO conversion increased as the content of Co metal increased. The activity of catalyst has obtained the best value at 12wt% Co content.

Utilization and interest of unconventional fuel and process residue such as oil sand and its residue, oil sand coke, have been increased because of the continuous rise of fuel price and conventional fuel availability. In this study, the gasification of oil sand coke produced from coking process of oil sand was performed to utilize as an energy resource using lab-scale fixed bed gasification system. The combustion characteristics of oil sand bitumen and oil sand coke were investigated by using TGA and lab-scale gasification system was applied to reveal the characteristics of produced syngas composition with oxygen/fuel ratio, temperature and steam injection rate. Oil sand coke shows a high carbon content, heating value and sulfur content and low ash content and reactivity. In case of oil sand coke gasification, generally with increasing temperature, the amount of steam introduced and decreasing oxygen injection rate, $H_2$ content in product gas increased while the $CO_2$ content decreased. The calorific value of syngas shows about $2100kcal/Nm^3$ and this result indicates that the oil sand coke can be used as a resource of hydrogen and fuel.

The synthesis of Fischer-Tropsch oil is the catalytic hydrogenation of CO to give a range of products, which can be used for the production of high-quality diesel fuel, gasoline and linear chemicals. Our cobalt based catalyst was prepared Co/alumina, silica and titania by the incipient wet impregnation of the nitrates of cobalt and promoter with supports. Cobalt catalysts was calcined at $350^{\circ}C$ before being loaded into the FT reactors. After the reduction of catalyst has been carried out under $450^{\circ}C$ for 24hrs, FT reaction of the catalyst has been carried out at GHSV of 4,000/hr under $200^{\circ}C$ and 20atm. From these test results, we have obtained the results as following ; in case of 12wt% Co-supported $Al_2O_3$, $SiO_2$ and $TiO_2$ catalysts, maximum activities of the catalysts were appeared at the promoters of Mn, Mo and Ce respectively. The activity of 12wt% $Co/Al_2O_3$ added a Mn promoter was about 3 times as high as that of 12wt% $Co/Al_2O_3$ catalyst without promoters. When it has been the experiment at the range of reaction temperature of $200{\sim}220^{\circ}C$ and GHSV of 1,546~5,000/hr, the results have shown generally increasing the activities with the increase of reaction temperature and GHSV.

피마자유(Castor oil)는 합성수지, 그리스, 유압용 오일, 윤활기유 등의 다양한 용도로 쓰이는 오일로서 점도가 높고 무색에서 황갈색을 띈다. 피마자유 추출은 압착 착유 또는 용매 추출로 얻게 되며 본 실험에 사용된 오일은 압착 착유한 것으로 매우 진한 갈색을 띄는 정제전 오일을 이용하였다. 실험에 사용된 피마자유의 초기 산가는 1mgKOH/g 이하로 낮은 유리지방산 함량을 보였으며 수분은 0.3%로 전이에스테르화 반응을 위해서는 수분 증발이 필요했다. 피마자유의 바이오디젤 생산을 위해 진행된 물성 분석 항목은 산가, 수분, 인함량, 황함량, 점도, 고형물이며 원료유와 그 바이오디젤에 대해 각각 물성 분석을 실시하였다. 피마자유의 가장 큰 특징은 다른 식물성 오일과는 다르게 오일이 알코올에 녹는 특성이 있으며 이런 이유로 전이에스테르화 반응 후 바이오디젤과 글리세롤이 분리되지 않는 문제점을 갖고 있다. 피마자유를 이용해 제조한 바이오디젤, 즉 지방산메틸에스터의 함량을 분석한 결과 약 90%의 메틸에스터화 반응 전환율을 나타내었으나 국내외 품질규격상의 탄소수 C14~C24:0의 지방산 에스터(fatty acid methyl esters)로 검출되는 바이오디젤의 함량은 10% 미만으로 나타났으며 나머지 90%는 라이신올레익산메틸에스터(ricinoleic acid methyl ester)로 분석되었다. 따라서, 기존의 대두유, 유채유, 팜유, 폐식용유로부터 제조한 바이오디젤과 물성이 매우 상이하고 특히 끊는점(boiling point)과 점도가 높아 경유 대체연료로는 활용이 불가능할 것으로 판단된다. 하지만 기존의 다양한 용도의 오일로 사용하기 위해 정제하는 과정에서 전체 착유 오일중의 약 10%만을 선택적으로 분리하여 바이오디젤 원료로 활용하는 방안은 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

현대 사회에서 차량을 비롯한 선박, 항공기와 같은 각종 수송수단들은 그 용도와 형태도 다양하고 널리 보급되어있을 뿐만 아니라 각 분야에서 없어서는 안 될 필수품이 되어 있다. 그러나 수송수단의 수와 활용빈도수가 증가함에 따라 그로 인한 차량화재, 선박화재 그리고 항공기화재 등과 같은 특수화재의 발생에 따른 재산 및 인명피해의 문제점들도 함께 늘어나고 있는 실정이다. 2009년 기준, 1년 동안의 전체 화재발생건수 47,071건 가운데 차량화재의 발생건수가 5,958건으로서 전체의 12.6% 정도를 차지하였다. 그뿐만 아니라 차량 내장재의 주 재질은 가연성을 지닌 열가소성 합성수지들로서 화재가 발생하였을 경우, 다량의 가연성 가스 및 독성가스를 방출하기 때문에 인명 및 재산 피해를 증가시키는 문제점을 갖고 있다. 하지만 아직까지도 이와 같은 수송수단에 대한 화재를 예방하거나 피해를 최소화할 수 있는 화재진압대책 등에 관한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하고 과학적이며 체계적인 대응방안을 수립하기 위한 기초 자료를 확보하고 이를 통한 수송수단의 화재안전성을 분석하고자 각종 수송수단에서 사용되는 오일을 대상으로 연소특성 분석 및 화재하중에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 분석 대상 오일은 연료용과 부속용 오일로 크게 분류되며, 연료용 오일로는 차량용 경유와 휘발유 그리고 군용차량용 경유, 항공기용 백등유와 제트유, 선박용 고유황경유 등을 선정하였다. 부속용 오일로는 브레이크오일, 파워오일, 엔진오일, 자동변속기오일, 수동변속기오일을 대상으로 각각 일반용과 고급형 2가지씩 시료를 선정하여 분석을 수행하였다. 분석방법은 대상오일들의 기초물성을 고찰하기 위해서 비중계를 이용하여 각 시료들의 비중을 측정하였으며, 문헌으로부터 끓는점, 어는점 및 점도 등을 조사하였다. 또한, 대상오일들의 착화특성을 살펴보고자 콘칼로리미터와 인화점 측정기 및 발화점 측정기 등을 이용하여 발열량, 착화시간, 발연량, 발화점, 인화점 등을 측정하였다. 대상오일들의 물성 및 착화특성에 대한 측정결과를 살펴보면, 비중은 $725.8{\sim}1072.0kg/m^3$ 정도의 값을 나타냈고, 인화점은 영하의 인화점을 갖는 휘발유의 경우, 장비의 특성상 분석이 곤란하여 측정하지 못하였으며, 다른 시료들은 $45.3{\sim}266.6^{\circ}C$정도의 값을 나타냈다. 발화점은 $325.7{\sim}600.6^{\circ}C$정도의 값을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 이와 같은 결과들을 활용하면 차량, 선박, 항공기 등에 대한 화재발생과 관련된 화재안전성을 분석하고 이를 통한 수송시스템의 화재에 대한 예방 및 대응 방안의 효율성을 높일 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Recently, there is a growing interest in vegetable oils, cheap and abundant renewable natural resources. Vegetable oils can be used as raw materials for ecofriendly biodegradable polymer materials. In this study, poly(${\beta}$-amino esters) were synthesized by polymerization reaction of acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO) and 2-aminoethanol. Various polymer films were prepared by changing the molar ratio of AESO to 2-aminoethanol. The formation of C-N bonds in poly(${\beta}$-amino ester) was confirmed using FT-IR. Gel contents higher than 98% confirmed the synthesis of crosslinked polymer networks. Tensile strengths and elongation at breaks of polymer films ranged from 0.3 to 1.3 MPa and 32 to 55%, respectively. Polymer films degraded 2 to 7% of the initial weight in 35 days in phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.2) containing lipase enzyme.

Six strains of Ralstonia eutropha were grown to investigate characteristics of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) synthesis from vegetable oils or glycerol. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) homopolymer was formed using soybean oil, olive oil, or glycerol as carbon source, while poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) or poly(3-hydroxybutyrateco-3-hydroxyvalerate) copolymers were synthesized by co-feeding $\gamma$-butyrolactone or pentanoic acid, respectively. Optimum strain was determined as R. eutropha KCTC 2662 in terms of final cell concentration and PHA content. From 20 g/L of soybean oil (optimum substrate), cell concentration and PHA content at 72 h ranged 1.7~9.2 g/L and 70~92 wt%, respectively.

Recently, exploration and development of oil sands are thriving due to high oil price. Because oil sands reservoir usually exists as a thin layer, multicomponent VSP, which has the advantage of the high-resolution around the borehole, is more effective than surface seismic survey in exploring oil sand reservoir. In addition, prestack phase-screen migration is effective for multicomponent seismic data because it is based on an one-way wave equation. In this study, we examined the applicability of the prestack phase-screen migration for multicomponent RVSP data to image the thin oil sand reservoir. As a preprocessing tool, we presented a method for separating P-wave and PS-wave from multicomponent RVSP data by using incidence angle and rotation matrix. To verify it, we have applied the developed wavefield separation method to synthetic data obtained from the velocity model including a horizontal layer and dipping layers. Also, we compared the migrated image by using P-wave with that by using PS-wave. As a result, the PS-wave migrated image has higher resolution and wide coverage than P-wave migrated image. Finally, we have applied the prestack phase-screen migration to the synthetic data from the velocity model simulating oil sand reservoir in Canada. The results show that the PS-wave migrated image describe the top and bottom boundaries of the thin oil sand reservoir more clearly than the P-wave migrated image.
