Since contaminants of syngas obtained from the biomass gasification are removed, the syngas is clean fuel. In this study a high-efficiency energy production system is developed. The system produces electricity using a waste pressure and feeds a low-pressure steam to Dyeing industrial complex. Also, iron oxide derived from dyeing sludge is utilized as a self-catalyst to reform a tar and reduce a tar emission from gasifier. This system increases the amount of syngas and finally achieves a highly efficient gasification.

In this work, an experimental study of the gasification on wood was carried out in downdraft type fixed bed Gasifier attached with 10 kW duel fuel diesel engine. The main objective of the study was to use wood as the biomass fuel for downdraft Gasifier and to evaluate the operating parameter of gasifier unit to predict its performance in terms of gas yield and cold gas efficiency. The influence of different biomass on fuel consumption rate, gas yield and cold gas efficiency was studied. Composition of producer gas was also detected for measuring the lower heating value of producer gas to select the feed stock so that optimum performance in the existing gasifier unit can be achieved. Under the experimental conditions, Lower heating value, of producer gas, cold gas efficiency and gas yields, using wood as a feed stock, are $4.85MJ/m^3$, 46.57% and $0.519m^3/kg$.

Mass cultivation of microalgae is necessary to achieve economically feasible production of microalgal biodiesel. However, the high cost of nutrients is a major limitation. In this study, corncob extract (CCE) was used as an inorganic and organic nutrient source for the mass cultivation of Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris). Chemical composition analysis of CCE revealed that it contained sufficient nutrients for mixotrophic cultivation of C. vulgaris. The highest specific grow rate of C. vulgaris was obtained at pH of 7-8, temperature of $25-30^{\circ}C$, and CCE amount of 5 g/L. In the analysis using various growth models, Luong model was found to be the most suitable empirical formula for mass cultivation of C. vulgaris using CCE. Analysis of biomass and production of triacyglycerol showed that microalgae grown in CCE medium produced more than 17.23% and 3% more unsaturated fatty acids than cells cultured in Jaworski's Medium. These results suggest that growing microalgae in CCE-supplemented medium can increase lipid production. Therefore, CCE, agricultural byproduct, has potential use for mass cultivation of microalgae.

BACKGROUND: Enormous amounts of the wood biomass wastes have been produced through various wood processing. This study characterizes the surface characteristics of biomass powders of Cornus controversa (CC) and Quercus mongolica (QM) and investigates their removal efficiency and mechanism for Pb (II) in aqueous solution on which to base potential recycling alternative of the wood biomass. METHODS AND RESULTS: Batch experiments were conducted under different conditions of Pb concentrations, temperatures, time and solid/solution ratios. Adsorption isotherm of Pb by CC and QM biomass was explained significantly by the Langmuir model, indicating Pb was likely adsorbed on the monolayer of the surfaces. The adsorption kinetics were fitted significantly to the double first-order model consisting of rapid and slow steps. The respective rate constants (k1) of CC and QM for the rapid adsorption kinetic steps were 0.051 and 0.177 min^-1, and most of the sorption reactions proceeded rapidly within 6-20 minutes. The maximum adsorption quantities (q_max) of Pb were 17.25 and 23.47 mg/g for CC and QM, respectively. Thermodynamic parameters revealed that adsorption of Pb on the biomass of CC and QM was a spontaneous endothermic reaction. CONCLUSION(S): Results demonstrate that biomass wastes of CC and QM can be used as Pb adsorbents judging from adsorption isotherm, kinetics, and thermodynamic parameters.

A series of microwave waste tire pyrolysis experiments were conducted using a lab-scale batch reactor to delineate the effects of microwave ouput power on the pyrolysis behavior of waste tire. As results of experiments, it was found that as the microwave output power was increased from 1.22 kW/kg to 2.26 kW/kg, the reaction temperature and oil yield increased significantly and the required time and microwave power consumption decreased remarkably, respectively. With increased power consumption, the content of the fixed carbon of pyrolysis residue increased.

바이오매스는 자연에서 얻어진 화학적 에너지로 활용할 수 있으며 곡물, 식물, 동물과 미생물 등의 모든 유기체를 말한다. 별도의 처리과정을 거치지 않아도 재생 및 재활용이 가능하여 친환경적이며 주변에서 쉽게 얻을 수 있다는 이점이 있다. 한편, 바이오매스는 열분해 또는 발효 과정을 거쳐 바이오에너지 연료로 활용할 수 있다. 따라서 화석 연료의 고갈과 환경 영향 등의 문제 해결을 위한 대체 에너지 중 하나로 평가되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 바이오매스의 반탄화 처리가 가능한 523~573K의 온도 및 불활성 분위기 조건에서 다양한 바이오매스(톱밥, 볏짚, 쌀겨, 커피박, 폐목재) 내 탄소 함량을 높이는 공정을 진행하였다. 그리고, 반탄화한 바이오매스를 탄소 농도, 연소 거동 등을 조사하여 철강 산업 등에 활용할 수 있는 고체 연료로서의 가능성을 검토하였다.

This paper proposes the method to develop the fuel of suljigemi pellet using agricultural by-products the occurred during the manufacturing of alcohol. The goal of the development of suljigemi using biomass is to make the pellet fuel of high calorie. The suljigemi pellet is difficult to recycle waste in the manufacture company of alcohol. suljigemi pellet has the effect of zero emission as the soil conditioner using ash after burning. Also suljigemi pellet has the reduction effect of carriage fee, fuel economy and low-cost high-efficiency effects, environmentally clean fuel as CO2 emissions savings. So the technologies of the suljigemi fuel pellet are developing low carbon, green growth renewable energy fuel through futuristic energy system will be. In experiments, suljigemi pellets confirmed the calories by about 10% higher than wood pellets with the same conditions.

The feasibility of enhancing biological nutrient removal from an industrial wastewater was tested with food waste leachate and sugar liquid waste as external carbon sources. Long term influences of adding external carbon sources were investigated to see how the biological nutrient removal process worked in terms of the removal efficiency. The addition of the external carbons led to a significant improvement in the removal efficiency of nutrients: from 49% to approximately 76% for nitrogen and from 64% to around 80% for phosphorus. Approximately, 20% of the removal nitrogen was synthesized into biomass, while the remaining 80% was denitrified. Though the addition of external carbon sources improved nutrient removal, it also increased the waste sludge production substantially. The optimal observed BOD/TN ratio, based on nitrogen removal and sludge production, was around 4.0 in this study.

반탄화 공정은 약 $250^{\circ}C$정도의 온도에서 진행되는 열화하적 반응으로, 본 반응에 의하여 바이오매스 중에 포함된 헤미세루로스가 분해되고, 휘발성 가스를 생성하여 분리되는 과정이 진행된다. 바이오매스를 반탄화하는 중요한 이유로는 반탄화에 의하여 에너지 집적도(바이오매스 단위 중량에 포함된 열량)가 증가하게 되어 수송 등에 필요한 열량이 감소하는 장점이 있는 반면, 반탄화의 결과로 생산된 반탄화물은 화재 및 분진 폭발의 위험이 높아지는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 바이오매스 연료 중 목질류로서 자연 건조된 폐목재와 초본류로서는 볏짚을 대상으로 약 $200^{\circ}C{\sim}300^{\circ}C$범위의 온도에서 반탄화 실험을 실시하여 반탄화 후 결과물의 연료적 특성을 평가하였다. 특히 C/H(탄소와 수소 비) 및 C/O(탄소와 산소비)는 연료적 특성 중 생물학적 안정성 및 연소시 오염물질(특히 수트, Soot)과 관계되는 요소로서 중요하다. 실험 결과 반탄화에 의하여 C/H는 약 2배 증가하였으며, C/O는 약 3배 증가하였다. 이는 생물학적 안정성은 감소하여 자연적으로 분해(생분해)가 진행되는 어려운 상태로 변화되었으나, 연료 중 수소의 감소에 의하여 휘발성 가스의 생성은 감소할 수 있는 것을 나타낸다. 한편 탄화된 바이오매스의 TGA(Thermogravimetric Analysis)를 실시한 결과, 저온에서의 진행되는 열분해 부분이 상대적으로 감소하였으며, 이는 단순 바이오매스 연료에 비하여 석탄과 연소 특성이 유사할 수 있는 것으로 나타내었다.

본 연구는 시멘트 블록조 발효상을 축조하고, 산림 및 농산 폐바이오매스의 발효 특성을 구명하기 위하여 수행되었다. 활엽수(신갈나무가 중심이 되는 활잡목)톱밥, 침엽수(낙엽송)톱밥, 낙엽류(소나무 및 플라타너스 낙엽), 볏짚, 산야초류 등 5종의 발효재료를 사용, 발효첨가제로서 요소, 발효용 부숙비료, 석회 등을 첨가하였고, 전체의 함수율을 55~60%가 되도록 조절하여 발효시켰으며, 궁극적으로 최대 발효열 효율을 얻기 위한 재료의 배합비, 최적수분함량 등을 검토하였다. 발열온도는 활엽수톱밥(100%)가 가장 좋았고 침 활엽수톱밥(50:50)구도 비교적 좋은 편이었다. 발열온도가 가장 높았던 활엽수톱밥 단독의 경우, 최고온도 $60{\sim}90^{\circ}C$, 최저온도 $40^{\circ}C$전후, 평균온도 $50{\sim}60^{\circ}C$의 범위를 20~30일간 유지하였으며, 이 때 최적 배합비율은 발효재료 1 톤에 대하여 요소 15 kg, 발효용 부숙비료 20 kg, 석회 10 kg, 함수율 55%이었다. 최적발효조건에서 온수탱크의 수온을 측정한 결과, 활엽수톱밥과 산야초를 50 : 50으로 혼합한 경우, 측정부위에 따라 상당한 편차를 보였으며, 발효상 중부 및 상부의 온도가 대체적으로 높았고, 하부층의 온도가 낮았다. 발열온도는 최고 $65^{\circ}C$, 최저 $40^{\circ}C$ 전후, 평균온도 $60^{\circ}C$였으며, 온수탱크의 온도를 45일간 측정한 결과, $30{\sim}45^{\circ}C$ 범위를 나타냈으며 전 기간을 통하여 거의 유사한 결과를 보여주고 있다. 탱크출구의 수온은 $33{\sim}48^{\circ}C$ 범위로 탱크온도보다 약간 높았다. 본 실험에서 개발된 열교환기(HX-helical type)를 사용한 경우, $50{\sim}60^{\circ}C$의 발효열을 최대 3개월정도 이용 가능하였다.
