Purpose: The identification and quantification of indoor airborne contaminants, including bio-aerosols, particulates, and gaseous contaminants, are crucial for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality for hospital operating rooms (ORs). Laparoscopic surgery has become widely accepted for various surgical procedures due to its rapid recovery rate and the low risk associated with small incisions compared to conventional open surgery. The objective of this study is to investigate the indoor air quality in hospital ORs and to identify indoor airborne contaminants generated during laparoscopic surgery. Methods: Measurements of an indoor environment, including temperature, humidity and air quality, were performed in an OR before and during a laparoscopic surgery. Indoor airborne contaminants, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO₂), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), suspended indoor particles, and airborne bacteria, were measured simultaneously. Results: The study determined that the concentrations of indoor air particles and airborne bacteria increased during the surgery but were within acceptable levels. However, the concentration of CO₂, reached a high level of 1,791 ppm due to the CO₂ gas required for maintaining the pneumoperitoneum during the surgery. Implications: The results emphasized the use of ventilation and filtration in a laparoscopic surgery room to lower the concentration of filterable and non-filterable contaminants.

Effects of various reaction factors such as pressure, time, and temperature on clathrate formation were investigated for hydroquinone with $CO_2$ and $N_2$. Experimental and spectroscopic results indicate that $CO_2$ plays more preferential role in forming hydroquinone clathrates than $N_2$. These results can be used in application of selective $CO_2$ separation from flue gases with the formation of clathrate compounds.

South Korea established the 2050 Carbon Neutral Plan in response to the climate crisis, and to achieve this policy, it is very important to monitor domestic carbon emissions and atmospheric carbon concentration. Both CO₂ and CO are emitted from fossil fuel combustion processes, but the relative ratios depend on the combustion efficiency and the strength of local emission regulations. In this study, the relationship between CO₂ and CO was analyzed using ground observation data for the period of 2018~2020 at Anmyeon-do site and the CO/CO₂ ratio according to regional origin during high CO₂ cases was investigated based on the footprint simulated from Stochastic Time-Inverted Lagrangian Transport (STILT) model. CO₂ and CO showed a positive correlation with correlation coefficient of 0.66 (p < 0.01), and averaged footprints during high CO₂ cases confirmed that air particles mainly originated from eastern and north-eastern China, and inland of Korean Peninsula. In addition, it was revealed that among the cases of high CO₂ concentration, when the CO/CO₂ ratio is high, the industrial area of eastern China is greatly affected, and when the ratio is low, the contribution of the domestic region is relatively high. The ratio of CO₂ and CO in this study is significant in that it can be used as a useful factor in determining the possibility of domestic and foreign origins of climate pollutants.

본 연구에서는 중공사형 지지체막을 폴리술폰(polysulfone, PSf) 고분자를 이용하여 비용매 상분리법(non solvent induced phase separation, NIPS)에 의해 제조하였다. 제조된 중공사 지지체막을 PDMS와 Pebax를 코팅하여 중공사형 복합막을 제조하고 CO₂, H₂, O₂ 그리고 N₂에 대한 순수 투과도(permeance)와 선택도를 측정하였다. 제조된 복합막 모듈 중에서 선택도(CO₂/H₂)가 가장 높은 모듈을 선정하여 모사가스를 사용하여 스테이지컷(stage cut, SC)의 변화에 따라 분리성능을 측정하였다. 이때 사용된 모사가스는 PSA에서 버려지는 off gas의 농도인 CO₂ 70% : H₂ 30%인 것을 사용하였다. 1단 실험에서는 H₂ 농도 약 60%, H₂ 회수율 12%의 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 낮은 H₂ 농도와 회수율을 극복하기 위해 2단 직렬 테스트를 수행하였으며, 이를 통해 H₂ 농도 약 70%, H₂ 회수율 70%를 달성할 수 있었으며, 이를 통해 CO₂/H₂ 분리에 대하여 분리 공정 구성을 도출할 수 있었다.

Recently, the gradual increase in energy acceptance is mostly satisfied by fossil fuels, but research and development of renewable energy sources are attracting attention due to fossil fuel supply and greenhouse gas problem. The disadvantage is that renewable energy can not be produced continuously. This being so, energy storage is an important technology in renewable energy. In this study, microwave was used to convert carbon receptor-carbon dioxide to gas fuel.

The carbonation of concrete is one of the major factors that cause durability problems in concrete structures. The rate of carbonation depends largely upon the diffusivity of carbon dioxide in concrete. The purpose of this study is to identify the diffusion coefficients of carbon dioxide for various concrete mixtures. To this end, several series of tests have been planned and conducted. The test results indicate that the diffusion coefficient increases with the increase of water-cement ratio. The diffusion coefficient decreases with the increase of relative humidity at the same water-cement ratio. The diffusion of carbon dioxide reached the steady state within about five hours after exposure. The content of aggregates also influences the diffusivity of carbon dioxide in concrete. It was found that the diffusion coefficient of cement paste is larger then that of concrete or mortar. The quantitative values of diffusivity of carbon dioxide in this study will allow more realistic assessment of carbonation depth in concrete structures.

In this study, we synthesized a combination of graphene oxide (GO) and titanium dioxide (TiO₂) and confirm that GO can be used for CO₂ photoreduction. TiO₂ exhibited highly efficient combination with other conventional electric charges generated by these paration phenomenon for suppression of hole-electron recombination. This improved the efficiency of CO₂ photoreduction. The synthetic form of GO-TiO₂ used in this study was agraphene sheet surrounded by TiO₂ powder. Efficiency and stability were enhanced by combination of GO and TiO₂. In a CO₂ photoreduction experiment, the highest CO conversion rate was 0.652 μmol/g·h in GO10-TiO₂ (2.3-fold that of pure TiO₂) and the highest CH₄ production rate was 0.037 μmol/g·h in GO0.1-TiO₂ (2.4-fold that of pure TiO₂). GO enhances photocatalytic efficiency by functioning as a support and absorbent, and enabling charge separation. With increasing GO concentration, the CH₄ level decreases to~45% due to decreased transfer of electrons. In this study, TiO₂ together with GO yielded a different result than the normal doping effect and selective CO₂ photoreduction.

지구 온난화 이슈에서 가장 고질적인 문제 중 하나는 온실가스의 배출이다. 다양한 온실 가스 중 가장 높은 비중을 차지하는 이산화탄소(CO₂)는 이를 분리하기 위해 연구자들이 지속적으로 연구를 진행해오고 있다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구에서는 이산화탄소 기체를 분리하기 위해 poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) 기반 공중합체를 제조하여 기체 분리막에 활용했다. 공중합체는 자유 라디칼 중합법을 활용했으며, 곁사슬을 위한 단량체로 아크릴산(acrylic acid)를 사용하여 PVA-g-PAA(VAA) 그래프트 공중합체를 제조했다. 본 공중합체를 이산화탄소 기체분리막에 적용한 사례는 최초이며, 폴리설폰 지지체에 복합막 형태로 제조했다. 공중합체 합성 결과는 FT-IR을 통해, 합성한 공중합체 의 거동은 TEM과 DSC, TGA를 통해 분석하였다. AA 그래프팅을 통해 공중합체는 나노 구조를 형성하며, PVA의 결정화도를 급격하게 감소시켜 이산화탄소의 용해도를 증가시켰고, 이는 이산화탄소 기체 분리 성능을 향상시켰다. 이를 통해 이산화탄소 분리막 분야에 용액-확산 및 그래프팅 방법이라는 새로운 접근법을 제시하였다.

온실 가스의 주원인인 이산화탄소 발생의 저감은 범세계적으로 중요한 문제가 되었다. 이산화탄소를 단순히 분리하고 외부와 격리시키는 것보다는 이를 이용하여 고부가가치의 화학제품으로 전환 가능하다는 점에서 이산화탄소의 자원화에 대해 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이산화탄소의 촉매 전환을 통한 합성가스 생산의 방법으로서 이산화탄소 개질, 삼중 개질 그리고 내부 개질 고체 산화형 연료 전지(Solid Oxide Fuel Cell) 시스템과 연계하여 전기와 합성가스를 동시에 생산하는 기술로 정하고 이에 대한 최근 연구 동향을 정리하였다. 또한 합성가스로부터 Fischer-Tropsch 합성을 통한 장쇄 탄화수소 생성과 Dimethyl Ether(DME) 생성을 중심으로 한 유용한 화학제품을 생산에 관한 연구 동향을 포함하였다.
