염화반응에 의한 $TaCl_5$의 제조에서 반응생성물 중 $NbCl_5$, $TiCl_4$, $FeCl_2$ 등이 주요 불순물로 존재하게 된다. $TaCl_5$와 $NbCl_5$는 증류나 수소 환원법에 의해 쉽게 분리가 되므로, 반응생성물에서 $TaCl_5/NbCl_5$ 혼합물을 99.9％ 이상 순도로 분리하기 위해 2기의 연속식 증류공정을 사용하여 light한 성분과 heavy한 성분을 제거하는 공정을 구성하였다. 본고에서는 순차배열(direct sequence)과 비 순차배열(indirect sequence)으로서의 두 분리공정에 대한 비교연구를 상용성 화학공정모사기인 Aspen Plus 13.1을 이용해서 전산모사를 수행하였다. 비교결과 순차배열이 비 순차배열에 비하여 초기 장치투자비용이나 운전비용에서 좀 더 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 상용모사기를 이용하여 100 MWth 매체순환연소(CLC) 복합발전 플랜트의 성능 및 경제성 평가를 수행하였다. 원료로는 천연가스와 합성가스를 고려하였으며 원료에 따른 성능 및 발전단가를 비교, 분석하였다. 천연가스와 합성가스를 사용하는 경우 모두 발전 효율은 53~54% 수준으로 평가되었으며 이는 기존 연구와 부합하는 결과임을 확인하였다. 경제성 분석을 위해서 Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index와 Guthrie 방법을 사용하여 장치비를 산정하였으며 합성가스의 저위발열량이 천연가스보다 낮기 때문에 장치비가 다소 높은 것을 확인하였다. 연료의 종류에 따른 발전단가 계산 결과 합성가스의 가격이 5.3 $/GJ 정도 되는 경우에 천연가스를 이용하는 경우의 발전단가인 5.8 ¢/kWh보다 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다.

The integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) system is well known for its high efficiency compared with that of other coal fueled power generation system. IGCC offers substantial advantages over pulverized coal combustion when carbon capture and storage (CCS) is required. Commercial plants employ different types of quenching system to meet the purpose of the system. Depending on that, the downstream units of IGCC can be modeled using different operating conditions and units. In case with $CO_2$ separation and capture, the gasifier product must be converted to hydrogen-rich syngas using Water Gas Shift (WGS) reaction. In most WGS processes, the water gas shift reactor is the biggest and heaviest component because the reaction is relatively slow compared to the other reactions and is inhibited at higher temperatures by thermodynamics. In this study, tehchno-econimic assessments were found according to the quench types and operating conditions in the WGS system. These results can improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of coal gasification.

Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) is an efficient and environment-friendly power generation system which is capable of burning low-ranked coals and other renewable resources such as biofuels, petcokes and residues. In this study some process modeling on a conceptual entrained flow gasifier was conducted using the ASPEN Plus process simulator. This model is composed of three major steps; initial coal pyrolysis, combustion of volatile components, and gasification of char particles. One of the purposes of this study is to develop an effective and versatile simulation model applicable to numerous configurations of coal gasification systems. Our model does not depend on the hypothesis of chemical equilibrium as it can trace the exact reaction kinetics and incorporate the residence time calculation of solid particles in the reactors. Comparisons with previously reported models and experimental results also showed that the predictions by our model were pretty reasonable in estimating the products and the conditions of gasification processes. Verification of the accuracy of our model was mainly based upon how closely it predicts the syngas composition in the gasifier outlet. Lastly the effects of change oxygen are studied by sensitivity analysis using the developed model.

Seawater desalination is a technology through which salt and other constituents are removed from seawater to produce fresh water. While a significant amount of fresh water is produced, the desalination process is limited by the generation of concentrated brine with a higher salinity than seawater; this imposes environmental and economic problems. In this study, characteristics of seawater from three different locations in South Korea were analyzed to evaluate the feasibility of crystallization to seawater desalination. Organic and inorganic substances participating in crystal formation during concentration were identified. Then, prediction and economic feasibility analysis were conducted on the actual water flux and obtainable salt resources (i.e. Na2SO4) using membrane distillation and energy-saving crystallizer based on multi-stage flash (MSF-Cr). The seawater showed a rather low salinity (29.9~34.4 g/L) and different composition ratios depending on the location. At high concentrations, it was possible to observe the participation of dissolved organic matter and various ionic substances in crystalization. When crystallized, materials capable of forming various crystals are expected. However, it seems that different salt concentrations should be considered for each location. When the model developed using the Aspen Plus modular was applied in Korean seawater conditions, relatively high economic feasibility was confirmed in the MSF-Cr. The results of this study will help solve the environmental and economic problems of concentrated brine from seawater desalination.

1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecytriethoxysilane (C₁₆H₁₉F₁₇O₃Si) be successfully applied to the hydrophobic modification of Al₂O₃ tubular ceramic membrane. Taking the concentration of modification solution, modification time, and modification temperature as factors, orthogonal experiments were designed to study the hydrophobicity of the composite membranes. The experiments showed that the modification time had the greatest impact on the experimental results, followed by the modification temperature, and the modification solution concentration had the smallest impact. Concentration of the modified solution 0.012 mol·L^-1, modification temperature 30 ℃ and modification time 24 h were considered optimal hydrophobic modification conditions. And the pure water flux reached 274.80 kg·m^-2·h^-1 at 0.1MPa before hydrophobic modification, whereas the modified membrane completely blocked liquid water permeation at pressures less than 0.1MPa. Air gap membrane distillation experiments were conducted for NaCl (2wt%) solution, and the maximum flux reached 4.20 kg·m^-2·h^-1, while the retention rate remained above 99.8%. Given the scarcity of freshwater resources in coastal areas, the article proposed a system for seawater desalination using air conditioning waste heat, and conducted preliminary research on its freshwater production performance using Aspen Plus. Finally, the proposed system achieved a freshwater production capacity of 0.61 kg·m^-2·h^-1.

심랭식 공기분리공정은 공기를 액화시켜 질소와 산소, 아르곤 등 다양한 산업가스를 생산하며, 가스생산조건(순도, 종류)에 따라 공정 또한 달라진다. 그 중 SNG 플랜트 공급용 공기분리공정은 99.5% 이상의 초고순도 산소 생산을 요구하기 때문에 공정의 효율이 타 공기분리공정에 비해 떨어지며, 공정효율을 낮추는 요인에는 공기압축에 의한 소모동력이 대표적이다. 본 연구에서는 SNG 플랜트에 적용하는 공기분리공정의 에너지 효율 향상을 위하여 소모동력과 관련된 공기 압축 설비의 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 민감도 분석을 위해 ASPEN PLUS를 이용해 공기분리공정을 모사하였다. 모사 결과, 99.5% 이상의 산소 18.21 kg/s를 생산하였으며, 33.26 MW의 동력이 소모되었다. 모사된 공정 중 공기압축설비는 주 압축기 1대와 2대의 재 압축기가 있으며, 2대의 재압축기에서의 공기압축비 변화에 따른 고압질소, 저압산소, 저압질소의 유량과 순도에 대한 영향과 공정 내 소모동력 변화에 대해 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 99.5% 산소, 99% 질소(고압), 90% 질소(저압)를 생산하기 위한 최적의 운전조건은 재압축비가 각각 0.48, 0.50가 되었으며, 재압축비 조정 후 $0.507kWh/O_2kg$에서 $0.473kWh/O_2kg$으로 소모동력도 약 7%가량 줄었음을 확인하였다.

While extensive research is being conducted to reduce greenhouse gases in industrial fields, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has implemented regulations to actively reduce CO₂ emissions from ships, such as energy efficiency design index (EEDI), energy efficiency existing ship index (EEXI), energy efficiency operational indicator (EEOI), and carbon intensity indicator (CII). These regulations play an important role for the design and operation of ships. However, the calculation of the index and indicator might be complex depending on the types and size of the ship. Here, to calculate the EEDI of two target vessels, first, the ships were set as Deadweight (DWT) 50K container and 300K very large crude-oil carrier (VLCC) considering the type and size of those ships along with the engine types and power. Equations and parameters from the marine pollution treaty (MARPOL) Annex VI, IMO marine environment protection committee (MEPC) resolution were used to estimate the EEDI and their changes. Technical measures were subsequently applied to satisfy the IMO regulations, such as reducing speed, energy saving devices (ESD), and onboard CO₂ capture system. Process simulation model using Aspen Plus v10 was developed for the onboard CO₂ capture system. The obtained results suggested that the fuel change from Marine diesel oil (MDO) to liquefied natural gas (LNG) was the most effective way to reduce EEDI, considering the limited supply of the alternative clean fuels. Decreasing ship speed was the next effective option to meet the regulation until Phase 4. In case of container, the attained EEDI while converting fuel from Diesel oil (DO) to LNG was reduced by 27.35%. With speed reduction, the EEDI was improved by 21.76% of the EEDI based on DO. Pertaining to VLCC, 27.31% and 22.10% improvements were observed, which were comparable to those for the container. However, for both vessels, additional measure is required to meet Phase 5, demanding the reduction of 70%. Therefore, onboard CO₂ capture system was designed for both KCS (Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering (KRISO) container ship) and KVLCC2 (KRISO VLCC) to meet the Phase 5 standard in the process simulation. The absorber column was designed with a diameter of 1.2-3.5 m and height of 11.3 m. The stripper column was 0.6-1.5 m in diameter and 8.8-9.6 m in height. The obtained results suggested that a combination of ESD, speed reduction, and fuel change was effective for reducing the EEDI; and onboard CO₂ capture system may be required for Phase 5.
