초임계 이산화탄소($S-CO_2$) 사이클은 소형화된 터보기계 및 열교환기를 통해서 작은 공간에서도 높은 열효율로 전력을 생산할 수 있는 잠재력을 가진 것으로 평가되고 있으며, 최근 이에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 원자력 및 태양열(CSP) 분야에서 $S-CO_2$ 사이클에 대한 연구 결과가 다수 소개되어 온 반면, 폐열 분야에 대한 연구 결과는 상대적으로 많지 않다. 본 연구에서는 폐열 회수 응용 분야에 있어서, 예열에 의한 $S-CO_2$ 사이클의 성능 향상 가능성을 살피기 위하여, 재생 $S-CO_2$ 브레이튼 사이클과 예열기를 갖는 재생 $S-CO_2$ 브레이튼 사이클을 모델링하고 시뮬레이션 하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 순출력을 극대화시키는 최적 $CO_2$ 분기율이 존재함을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 시뮬레이션 조건 하에서, 예열기에 의한 순출력 향상은 약 16-26%로 계산되었다.

Syngas from gasification of coal can be converted to SNG(Synthesis Natural Gas) through gas cleaning, water gas shift, $CO_2$ removal, and methanation. One of the key technologies involved in the production of SNG is the methanation process. In the methanation process, carbon oxide is converted into methane by reaction with hydrogen. Major factors of methanation are hydrogen-carbon oxide ratio, reaction temperature and space velocity. In order to understand the catalytic behavior, temperature programmed surface reaction (TPSR) experiments and reaction in a fixed bed reactor of carbon monoxide have been performed using two commercial catalyst with different Ni contents (Catalyst A, B). In case of catalyst A, CO conversion was over 99% at the temperature range of $350{\sim}420^{\circ}C$ and CO conversions and $CH_4$ selectivity were lower at the space condition over 3000 1/h. In case of catalyst B, CO conversion was 100% at the temperature over $370^{\circ}C$ and CO conversions and $CH_4$ selectivity were lower at the space condition over 4700 1/h. Also, conditions to satisfy $CH_4$ productivity over 500 ml/h.g-cat were over 2000 1/h of space velocity in case of catalyst A and over 2300 1/h of space velocity in case of catalyst B.

피치계 활성탄소섬유가 납사분해 잔사유를 개질하여 용융 방사하고, 산화, 탄화 및 스팀으로 활성화하여 제조되었다. 활성탄소섬유의 표면은 주석-팔라듐을 사용하여 단일 스텝에 의해 예민화 과정을 거쳤다. 예민화된 활성탄소섬유 표면에 무전해도금법을 사용하여 구리를 골고루 담지하였다. 도금시간을 증가시켜서 구리의 담지량을 변화시키고, BET, SEM, XRD 및 ICP를 이용하여 촉매 특성 변화에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 도금시간에 따라 부가된 구리의 양은 증가하나, 기공부피와 비표면적은 감소하였다. 또한 반응 온도가 증가함에 따라 NO 제거 성능이 증가하였다. $300^{\circ}C$ 이상의 반응 온도에서 부가된 구리의 양이 증가하면 표면적의 감소와 구리 분산도의 감소 때문에 NO 제거 성능은 감소하는 결과를 얻었다.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were synthesized on different substrates (bare Si and $SiO_2$/Si substrate) to investigate dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) applications as counter electrode materials. The synthesis of MWNTs samples used identical conditions of a Fe catalyst created by thermal chemical vapor deposition at $900^{\circ}C$. It was found that the diameter of the MWNTs on the Si substrate sample is approximately $5{\sim}10nm$ larger than that of a $SiO_2$/Si substrate sample. Moreover, MWNTs on a Si substrate sample were well-crystallized in terms of their Raman spectrum. In addition, the MWNTs on Si substrate sample show an enhanced redox reaction, as observed through a smaller interface resistance and faster reaction rates in the EIS spectrum. The results show that DSSCs with a MWNT counter electrode on a bare Si substrate sample demonstrate energy conversion efficiency in excess of 1.4 %.

본 연구에서는 A.cycloclast ATCC 21921 균주를 사용하여 $\gamma$-butyrobetaine으로부터 L-carnitine을 생산하는 최적 조건에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 배양액 내에 $\gamma$-butyrobetaine 만을 포함하였을때는 최대 L-carnitine 생산량이 29g/L이었고 전환수율도 30.9 mol%로 매우 낮았다. L-carmtine 생산에 미치는 탄소원의 영향을 관찰한 결과 glycerol을 첨가할 경우 L-carnitine 생산량이 4.6g/L 그리고 전환수율이 88.2 mol%로 $\gamma$-butyrobetaineaks을 포함하였을 때보다 월등히 향상되었다. Betaine, chohne와 같은 quaternary ammonium compounds 들이 L-carnitine 생산에 미치는 영향을 조사해본 결과, 이들에 의하여 L-carntine 생산 속도가 빨라지고 전환수율도 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 한편, 기질인 $\gamma$-butyrobetaine 농도 3% 이상에서 세포 생장은 저해되고 L-carnitine 생산은 기질 농도 2-3%에서 가장 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 구한 최적 생산 조건, 다시 말해서 glycerol과 choline을 배양액에 포함하고 기질의 농도를 2%^로 하여 플라스크에서 회분식 배양을 하였을 때, 배양 4일 만에 최대 7.2g/L의 L-carrutine을 생산할 수 있었고 이때 $\gamma$-butyrobetaine으로부터 L-carnitine에로의 전환수율은 98.7mol%이었다.

The conversion of carbon preforms to dense SiC by liquid infiltration is a prospectively low-cost and reliable method of forming SiC-Si composites with complex shapes and high densities. Si powder was coated on top of a 2.0wt.% Y2O3-added carbon preform, and reaction bonded silicon carbide (RBSC) was prepared by infiltrating molten Si at 1,450℃ for 1-8 h. Reactive sintering of the Y2O3-free carbon preform caused Si to be pushed to one side, thereby forming cracking defects. However, when prepared from the Y2O3-added carbon preform, a SiC-Si composite in which Si is homogeneously distributed in the SiC matrix without cracking can be produced. Using the Si + C → SiC reaction at 1,450℃, 3C and 6H SiC phases, crystalline Si, and Y2O3 were generated based on XRD analysis, without the appearance of graphite. The RBSC prepared from the Y2O3-added carbon preform was densified by increasing the density and decreasing the porosity as the holding time increased at 1,450℃. Dense RBSC, which was reaction sintered at 1,450℃ for 4 h from the 2.0wt.% Y2O3-added carbon preform, had an apparent porosity of 0.11% and a relative density of 96.8%.

Effect of carbon sources including agro-industrial byproduct on cell growth and production of curdlan by Agrobacterium sp. ATCC 31749 was investigated. Maximal production of curdlan was obtained when the carbon source was sucrose. The conversion rate of curdlan from 2% (w/v) sucrose was 59%. Glucose, mannose and maltose were also found to be good carbon sources for production of curdlan. Production of curdlan increased up to 3% (w/v) glucose as the carbon source and then decrease as the concentration of glucose increased. The major components of agro-industrial byproduct (AIB) were glucose, maltose, and maltose, and maltotriose. Agrobacterium sp.ATCC 31749 utilized up to 25% (v/v) AIB and produced curdlan with 29.8g/1.

Copper (II) and Nickel (II) mimic complexes of enzyme carbonic anhydrase were evaluated under ambient condition for carbon dioxide capture and conversion process. The synthesized complexes were characterized by ATR-FTIR and UV-DR spectroscopy. It was found that all the complexes have biomimetic activity towards $CO_2$ using para-nitrophenyl acetate (p-NPA) hydrolysis as the model reaction. Interestingly, the proper geometry obtained by the restricted orientation of tripodal N atoms in Cu (II) complex of 2,6-bis(2-benzimidazolyl) pyridine showed the highest activity (1.14 au) compared to others. The $CO_2$ bio-mineralization to $CaCO_3$ was carried out via in-vitro crystallization approach. Results indicate that the biomimetic complexes have a role in determining $CaCO_3$ morphology. The present observations establish a qualitative insight for the design of improved small-molecule catalysts for carbon capture.

It has been well established that leaf longevity is linked to the carbon economy of plants. We used this relationship to predict leaf lifetime carbon gains from leaf lifespan, and estimated the gross primary production (GPP) of a young deciduous forest of Japanese beech (Fagus crenata) located in central Japan. The light-saturated photosynthetic rates of the leaves were measured repeatedly during the growing season. We used the leaf lifespan to calculate the conversion coefficient from the light-saturated photosynthetic rate into the realized leaf lifetime carbon gain under field conditions. The leaf turnover rate was estimated using litter traps. GPP was estimated as the product of lifetime carbon gain per unit of leaf mass, and the annual leaf turnover rate. The GPP of the forest in 2007 was estimated to be $1.2{\times}10^3gCm^{-2}y^{-1}$, which was within the range of previously reported GPP values of beech forests in Japan, and was close to the GPP of a European beech forest, as estimated by eddy flux measurements.

The significant growth of the Si photovoltaic industry has been so far limited due to the high cost of the Si photovoltaic system. In this regard, the most expensive factors are the intrinsic cost of silicon material and the Si solar cell fabrication processes. Conventional Si solar cells have p-n junctions inside for an efficient extraction of light-generated charge carriers. However, the p-n junction is normally formed through very expensive processes requiring very high temperature (${\sim}1000^{\circ}C$). Therefore, several systems are currently under study to form heterojunctions at low temperatures. Among them, carbon nanotube (CNT)/Si hybrid solar cells are very promising, with power conversion efficiency up to 15%. In these cells, the p-type Si layer is replaced by a semitransparent CNT film deposited at room temperature on the n-doped Si wafer, thus giving rise to an overall reduction of the total Si thickness and to the fabrication of a device with cheaper methods at low temperatures. In particular, the CNT film coating the Si wafer acts as a conductive electrode for charge carrier collection and establishes a built-in voltage for separating photocarriers. Moreover, due to the CNT film optical semitransparency, most of the incoming light is absorbed in Si; thus the efficiency of the CNT/Si device is in principle comparable to that of a conventional Si one. In this paper an overview of several factors at the basis of this device operation and of the suggested improvements to its architecture is given. In addition, still open physical/technological issues are also addressed.
