Recently, it is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore carbon emission implication of building operations due to the significant rate of energy usage in buildings. In the building sector, our normal expectation implies that large building floor area induces more greenhouse gas (GHG) emission. In this research, the correlation between building total floor areas and GHG emission was explored by simple linear regression and analyzing the yielded residuals for confirming this seemingly obvious conjecture. By looking at the generated regression lines drawn based on the data sets representing public facilities in Ontario, Canada, we were able to confirm that carbon emission rate shows a proportional increase or decrease depending on the total floor area of buildings as has been implied as a conjecture. Some buildings were found to emit significantly large and small amount of GHG, and we addressed potential reasons why those buildings show the deviation from the confirmed proportional interrelation between a building's total floor area and the amount of GHG emission.

'15년 12월 유엔기후변화협약 당사국총회(COP21)의 "파리 협정"을 통해 신기후체제가 출범되었다. 본 협정의 핵심은 지구 평균기온 상승을 산업화 이전 대비 $2^{\circ}C$ 목표를 넘어, $1.5^{\circ}C$로 제한하기 위한 노력에 합의 되었다는 데 있으며 이에 따라 우리나라에서도 온실가스 감출을 위한 대책 마련이 시급한 상황이다. IEA 에너지기술전망에 따르면 '12년 기준 전세계 $CO_2$ 배출량의 2/3가 에너지 분야에서 발생하여 청정에너지기술 개발이 핵심이며, 단기적으로 에너지원 대체, 에너지효율개선 기술 도입이 최선, 장기적으로는 CCS(Carbon Capture & Storage) 등의 기술도입이 필수적인 상황이다. 이와 함께 최근에는 온실가스 저감을 위한 방안으로 $CO_2$ 활용(CCU, Carbon Capture & Utilization) 기술개발도 부각 되고 있다. CCU 기술은 우리나라와 같이 포집된 $CO_2$의 저장을 위한 EOR 사업이나 대규모 저장소 확보에 어려움이 있는 상황에서 종래 CCS의 기술적 대안이 될 수 있다. 뿐만 아니라 CCU 기술은 $CO_2$ 전환 물질의 산업적 활용을 통해 종래 제기된 고비용의 $CO_2$ 저감 비용을 줄일 수 있다. 이에 국제적으로 다수의 $CO_2$ 활용기술이 상업생산을 위한 실증단계에 진입하고 있으며, 국내에서도 $CO_2$ 자원화/광물화를 포함한 다양한 $CO_2$ 활용기술의 개발 및 사업화 노력이 필요하다.

In recent years, the supercapacitor and hybrid capacitor have related with substitutional energy source focused of many scientists because of their usage in power sources for electric vehicles, computers and other electric devices. The storage energy of electrical charge is based on electrostatic interactions in the electric double layer at the electrode/electrolyte interface, resulting in high rate capability and long cycle performance compared with batteries based on Faradaic electrode reactions. So we have been considered to carbon nanofibers as the ideal material for supercapacitors due to their high utilization of specific surface area, good conductivity, chemical stability and other advantages. In this work, we aimed to find out that the capacitance have increased because of electrochemical capacitance to provide by carbon nanofibers. Also carbon nanofibers based on chemical method and water treatment have been resulted larger capacitances and also exhibit better electrochemical behaviors about 15% than before of nontreated state. And also optical observations with treated and nontrteated carbon nanofibers discussed by the TEM, SEM, EDX, BET works and specific surface area analyzer. Their results also focused on the surface area of electrode and electrical capacitance was also improved by the effect of surface treatments.

본 연구의 목적은 순수 카본블랙과 이중상 구조의 카본블랙 (DPCB)이 함유되어 있는 고무조성물의 물리적 특성에 대하여 조사하였다. DPCB는 FT-IR분석결과 1100~1200 파장에서 실리카 표면에 존재하는 Si-O 피크를 나타냈다. DPCB와 유기 실란커프링제 (Si69)를 함유하는 고무조성물의 가황속도는 순수 카본블랙을 함유한 고무조성물에 비해 지연되었다. Si69를 함유한 DPCB의 300% 모듈러스와 상호작용계수 ($a_f$)는 순수 카본블랙보다 높게 나타났으며, 내마모특성 지표인 피코 무게감소량은 일정하게 나타났다. DPCB의 $0^{\circ}C$에서의 tan ${\delta}$는 DPCB 50 phr 기준 실란커플링제를 2.0% 사용한 수준에서 순수 카본블랙보다 우수하였으며, $60^{\circ}C$에서의 tan ${\delta}$는 실란커프링제의 사용량이 증가 할수륵 감소하였다. 결국 본 연구에 사용된 DPCB는 일정한 마모저항을 유지하면서 회전저항을 개선하는데 적합하다고 생각한다.

It is well-known that the presence of NOM (natural organic matter) in water has a negative effect on removing taste and odor compounds by activated carbon adsorption. Therefore, various means such as enhanced coagulation are applied to reduce the NOM. The presence of taste & odor compounds in drinking water even parts per trillion, is enough to generate customer dissatisfaction. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate carbon usage rate (CUR) for conventional coagulation (CC) and enhanced coagulation (EC) in order to improve the efficiency of adsorption of taste and odor compounds. Also, Effect of CC and EC on molecular weight fraction and the early stage breakthrough of 2-MIB and Geosmin are evaluated. When the enhanced coagulation was adapted for pretreatment for activated carbon adsorption the operation period could be prolonged by 3.5~4 times. CUR for CC was about 2 times greater than CUR for EC and this means that EC has more adsorption capacity than CC. To analyze effect of EC and CC on breakthrough of 2-MIB quantitatively, adsorbed NOM mass was calculated based on unit mass of activated carbon. In the early stage breakthrough of 2-MIB, total adsorbed NOM was 23.72mg/g for CC and 34.56mg/g for EC. Therefore, it is shown that the early breakthrough term of 2-MIB and Geosmin was improved due to increased adsorbability. The low-molecular-weight NOM (500~2000Da) compounds were the most competitive, participating in direct competition with 2-MIB for adsorption site.

Electrodes were fabricated based on activated carbon powder BP-20, conducting agent such as Super P, vapor grown carbon fiber (VGCF) and acetylene black (AB), and the mixed binders of flexible poly(vinylidenefluoridehexafluoropropylene) [P(VdF-co-HFP)] and cross linking dispersion agent of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to increase mechanical strength. According to impedance measurement of the electrode with the addition of conducting agent, we found that it was possible to charge rapidly by the fast steady-state current convergence due to low equivalent series resistance (AC-ESR, fast charge transfer rate at interface between electrode and electrolyte and low RC time constant. The self-discharge of unit cell showed that diffusion process was controlled by the ion concentration difference of initial electrolyte due to the characteristics of Electric Double Layer Capacitor (EDLC) charged by ion adsorption in the beginning, but this by current leakage through the double-layer at the electrode/electrolyte interface had a minor effect and voltages of curves were remained constant regardless of electrode material. We found that the 2.3V/230F grade EDLC would be applied to industrial safety usage such as uninterrupted power supply (UPS) because of the constant DC-ESR by IR drop regardless of discharge current.

The aim of this paper was to study the effect of five different waste combinations (C/N 15, C/N 20, C/N 25, C/N 30, and control) of sewage sludge coupled with sawdust and cattle manure in a pilot scale rotary drum reactor, during 20 days of the composting process. Our results showed that C/N 30 possesses a higher temperature regime with higher % reduction in moisture content, total organic carbon, soluble biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand; and higher % gain in total nitrogen and phosphorus at the end of the composting period implying the total amount of biodegradable organic material is stabilized. In addition, $CO_2$ evolution and oxygen uptake rate decreased during the process, reflecting the stable behavior of the final compost. A Solvita maturity index of 8 indicated that the compost was stable and ready for usage as a soil conditioner. The results indicated that composting can be an alternate technology for the management of sewage sludge disposal.

활성탄 재질별 THM 흡착능은 야자계 활성탄이 가장 우수하였고, 다음으로 석탄계, 목탄계 활성탄 순으로 평가되었으며, 야자계 활성탄의 최대 흡착량(X/M)이 석탄계와 목탄계 활성탄에 비해 각각 $1.1{\sim}1.5$배 및 $14.1{\sim}31.4$배 정도 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 또한, 활성탄 사용율(CUR)의 경우는 chloroform 흡착 제거시 야자계 활성탄은 1일 9.4 g의 활성탄을 사용하여 제어할 수 있는 반면, 석탄계나 목탄계 활성탄의 경우는 11.2 g 및 38 g의 활성탄을 사용하여야만 제어가 가능한 것으로 나타났다. THM 구성종별 활성탄에 대한 흡착특성을 조사한 결과 chloroform의 k값이 가장 낮은 것으로 조사되어 THM 구성종들 중 활성탄을 이용한 흡착제거가 가장 어려운 것으로 조사되었으며, 다음으로 BDCM, CDBM, bromoform 순으로 나타났다. bromoform은 chloroform에 비해 k값이 활성탄 재질별로 $5{\sim}12$배 정도 큰 것으로 나타났다. Biofilter에서의 THM 구성종들에 대한 생분해 특성을 평가한 결과, 물질별 평균 생분해율이 chloroform의 경우 7%, BDCM 5%, CDBM 4%, bromoform 3%로 나타나 생물분해가 어려운 것으로 조사되었다. HAA5 구성종들에 대한 활성탄 흡착 및 biofilter를 이용한 생분해 특성 평가 결과는 운전초기에는 흡착 제거되었으며, biofilter에서의 생물분해능은 TCAA를 제외한 나머지 4종은 bed volume 2000 부근부터는 생물분해에 의해 거의 100% 제거되는 것으로 나타났으나, TCAA는 bed volume 4000 이후부터 생물분해에 의해 90% 이상 제거되기 시작하여 bed volumed의 증가와 함께 제거율도 상승하였다.
