The study makes an attempt to investigate the causal nexus between carbon dioxide emissions, GDP per capita, industrialization and population with an evidence from Rwanda by employing a time series data spanning from 1965 to 2011 using the autoregressive distributed lag model. Evidence from the study shows that carbon dioxide emissions, GDP per capita, industrialization and population are co-integrated and have a long-run equilibrium relationship. Evidence from the Granger-causality shows a unidirectional causality running from industrialization to GDP per capita, population to carbon dioxide emissions, population to GDP per capita and population to industrialization. Evidence from the long-run elasticities has policy implications for Rwanda; a 1% increase in GDP per capita will decrease carbon dioxide emissions by 1.45%, while a 1% increase in industrialization will increase carbon dioxide emissions by 1.64% in the long-run. Increasing economic growth in Rwanda will therefore reduce environmental pollution in the long-run which appears to support the validity of the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis. However, industrialization leads to more emissions of carbon dioxide, which reduces environment, health and air quality. It is noteworthy that the Rwandan Government promotes sustainable industrialization, which improves the use of clean and environmentally sound raw materials, industrial process and technologies.

가스계 혼합소화약제의 소화성능을 검토하기 위하여 Cup-burner test장치를 설치하고 이성분계 및 삼성분계 혼합물의 불꽃소화농도를 측정하였다. 시험대상 이성분계 혼합물은 이산화탄소/HFC-23, 이산화탄소/HCFC-22, 이산화탄소/HFC-227ea, 이산화탄소/HFC-125, 이산화탄소/FIC-13I1, Hexafluoropropylene/HFC-23이고 삼성분계 흔합물은 이산화탄소/HFC-237HFC-l34a, 이산화탄소/HFC-23/HFC-227ea, 이산화탄소/HFC-23/HFC-125이다. Cup-burner test장치에서 측정된 가스계 혼합물의 소화농도는 단일성분의 소화농도와 혼합물의 구성비로 이루어진 모델에 의해 잘 예측됨을 알 수 있었다. 특히 이 모델은 혼합물의 구성성분이 물리적 소화성능을 지닐 때 잘 적용되며 화학적 소화성능의 영향이 강해질수록 측정값과의 오차가 커진다.

The International Energy Agency(IEA) recommends that intergovernmental agreements reduce CO2 emissions by 2050 to about 50% in 2005 in its report. To realize these demands, it is suggested to actively utilize energy efficiency improvement technology, renewable energy, nuclear power, carbon dioxide capture & storage technology (CCS). In the field of building materials and cement, mineral carbonization technology is widely used. Inorganic by-products applicable to greenhouse gas storage include waste concrete, slag, coal ash, and gypsum. If the Mineral Carbonation Act is used, it is expected that about 12 million tons of greenhouse gases can be immobilized every year. Greenhouse gas immobilization using cement hydrate can be immobilized by injecting carbon dioxide into the hydrated products C-S-H, and Ca(OH)2. In the case of immobilization through concrete carbonization, a carbon dioxide promotion test is used, which is often different from the actual carbon dioxide carbonization reaction. If the external carbon dioxide concentration is abnormally higher than the reality, it is thought that it will be different from the actual reaction. In this study, the carbonation phenomenon according to the concentration and identification of the carbon dioxide reaction mechanism of cement hydrate was to be considered.

In this study, before and after sunset carbon dioxide concentration and air temperature were observed in two points of atmosphere (lower observation point of the GL + 0.1 m, the upper observation point of GL + 1.0 m) on the foreshore at located in Suncheon Bay and their variations were analyzed. Observation was performed on the foreshore on 2~4 August 2010. Instrument (VAISALA, GMP343) was set two hours before sunset and then observation was made continuously for six hours. In three days, observed carbon dioxide concentration was 375~419 ppm, and the air temperature was in the range of $28.7{\sim}32.5^{\circ}C$. The average concentration of carbon dioxide was 388~399 ppm in the upper observation point and 386~396 ppm in the lower observation point. It was higher in the upper observation point and its fluctuations were similar in two observation points. Correlation coefficients between carbon dioxide concentration and air temperature in the upper observation point were in the range of -0.64~-0.88, and were calculated -0.65 to -0.90 in the lower observation point. For the carbon dioxide concentration, correlation coefficients between the upper part and the lower part were very high as 0.98 in three times. For the air temperature, correlation coefficients between the upper part and the lower part were very high as 0.97 and 0.99. In the same observation time, the slope of the linear regression function as carbon dioxide concentration in the lower observation point for the upper observation point was in the range of 0.97~1.01. Carbon dioxide concentration was slightly higher in the upper observation point. Because carbon dioxide in the lower observation point was closer on the surface of the foreshore and absorbed from atmosphere to the foreshore. In this study, it was showed that the vertical variation of carbon dioxide concentration was insignificant in the several meter scale of atmosphere on the surface of the foreshore.

A way to adsorptively remove indoor carbon dioxide at relatively lower concentration under ambient temperature was studied. A small lab-scale carbon dioxide adsorption and desorption reactors were prepared, and 5A and 13X zeolites were packed in this reactors to investigate their adsorption and desorption characteristics. The inflow carbon dioxide concentration was controlled to 5,000 ppm, relatively higher concentration found in indoor spaces with air quality problems, by diluting carbon dioxide with nitrogen gas. The flow rate was varied as 1~5 L/min, and the carbon dioxide concentration after this reactor was constantly monitored to examine the adsorption characteristics. It was found that 5A adsorbed more carbon dioxide than 13X. A lab-scale carbon dioxide desorption reactor was also prepared to investigate the desorption characteristics of zeolites, which is essential for the regeneration of used zeolites. The desorption temperature was varied as $25{\sim}200^{\circ}C$, and the desorption pressure was varied as 0.1~1.0 bar. Carbon dioxide desorbed better at higher temperature, and lower pressure. 5A could be regenerated more than three times by thermal desorption at $180^{\circ}C$. It is required to modify zeolites for higher adsorption and better regeneration performances.

이산화탄소의 배출량을 산정하는 방식은 주로 제련소, 화력발전소 등 제조공정에서 소비되는 에너지 통계에 의거하여 배출량을 추정하는 방식으로 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 지목이 토지이용패턴에 따라 다르게 배출되는 이산화탄소를 감시하기 위한 지표로 활용될 수 있는지를 평가하고자 수행되었다. 그리하여 사례 연구지역에서 이산화탄소 배출량을 측정하여 토지이용의 관점에서 지목별 변화 추세에 대한 평가가 이루어졌다. 정부통계에만 의존하는 간접추계 방식과 달리 지목 기반의 평가는 광역적인 이산화탄소 농도의 분포실태를 단시간에 제시하였다. 특히 대지 등 비자연적인 지목에서 높은 수치를 보여주었다. 반면, 임야 등 흡수원으로 특성을 지닌 지목은 전체적으로 배출원에 비해 낮은 수치를 보여주었다. 본 연구의 가장 큰 성과는 지목별 이산화탄소 배출량 변화 실태를 정량적으로 제시하고 있기 때문에 각종 개발사업의 계획단계부터 배출원과 흡수원을 지정하고 관리함에 있어 지목에 의거 도로 건설 등 저탄소 도시에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 개발사업을 규제하는 과정에서 온실가스 배출을 최소화하기 위한 지표로서 설득력을 지닌 근거자료로 지목의 가능성을 보여주었다. 본 연구의 가장 큰 성과는 "지목 기반의 이산화탄소 배출 감시"라는 새로운 개념을 제시하였다는 데 있을 것이다.

이산화탄소의 유용한 화합물로의 전환은 온실가스 증가로 인한 기후변화에 따른 환경문제의 해결 뿐 아니라 탄소원의 재활용이란 관점에서 무척 중요하다. 그러나 탄소화합물 중 가장 안정된 이산화탄소를 다른 유용한 화합물로 변환시키기 위해서는 에너지가 투입되어야 하고 효과적인 전환을 위하여 촉매의 개발 및 관련된 반응 조건의 확립이 필요하다. 본 총설에서는 그 동안 전기화학적으로 이산화탄소를 변환시킨 연구 내용들을 전극재료, 무기화합물, 효소를 이산화탄소의 환원 촉매로서 이용한 경우로 나누어 전체적으로 살펴보았다. 선택성이 좋고 효율적이며 안정성을 가진 촉매는 아직 개발되지 않은 상황이므로 앞으로 많은 연구가 진행되어야 할 분야이다.

Seasonal variations in carbon dioxide in the air and soil organic carbon in the sediments were monitored at the constructed wetland formed by reclamation work at Goheung Bay. Sediment sampling in the constructed wetland and carbon dioxide measurement in the air were conducted on June 16 and August 23, 2007. Sediments in the constructed wetland were sampled at 11 different points (June 16) and 14 points (August 23), while carbon dioxide in the air was measured at 13 points (June 16) and 15 points (August 23). Water content and organic carbon in the sampled sediments were analyzed in the laboratory. Water content of the sediments was higher than that of general soil, and the variation between June and August was not evident. The amounts of organic carbons in the sediments sampled on August 23 were higher than those sampled on June 16. Also, there was more organic carbon in the sediments sampled at the field of reeds than in the pure wetland area. Daily maximum variation in carbon dioxide in the air was higher on June 16, but the amount of carbon dioxide in the air was greater on August 23. The results of the study suggest that organic carbon in the sediments and carbon dioxide in the air were greater in summer (August 23) than in spring season (June 16) in the constructed wetland at Goheung Bay.
