We report Co-tetramethoxyphenylporphyrin on carbon particles (Co-TMPP/C) as a non-Pt catalyst for tri-iodide reduction in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The presence of well-dispersed carbon and cobalt source in the catalyst surface is confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. In the C 1s, Co 2p, and N 1s peaks measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the C-N, Co-$N_4$, and N-C are assigned to the component at 285.7, 781.8, and 401 eV, respectively. Especially, the Co-TMPP/C shows improved current density, diffusion coefficient, and charge-transfer resistance in the ${I_3}^-/I^-$ redox reaction compared to conventional catalysts. Furthermore, in the DSSCs performance, the Co-TMPP/C shows increased short circuit current density, higher open circuit voltage, and improved cell efficieny in comparison with Pt/C.

Treatability tests were conducted using EMC process to study the feasibility of applying this process as recycling-water treatment system in high density seawater aquaculture farm. To study the effect of organic and ammonia nitrogen loading on system performance, hydraulic retention time of reactor was reduced gradually from 12hr to 10min. The conclusions are can be summarized as follows. When the system HRT was reduced from 12hr to 10 min gradually, there was little noticeable change(reduction) in ammonia nitrogen removal efficiencies until 2hr of HRT, however, removal efficiencies were decreased dramatically when the system was operated under the HRT of less than 2hr. In case of organics(COD), there was no dramatic deterioration in removal efficiencies depending on HRT reduction. More than 90% of removal efficiencies were maintained successfully when the system was operated at the HRT of 10 min. In case of system performance depending on media packing ratio in reactor, there was little difference in each reactor performance depending on media packing ratio in reactor when the reactors were operated under the HRT of longer than 1hr, however, differences in reactor performances were considerably evident when the reactors were operated under the HRT of shorter than 1hr. That is, the more reactor was packed, the better reactor performed. When comparing reactor performance among 25%, 50%, 75% packed reactor, it can be judged that media packing ratio more than 50% plays no significant role in increasing reactor performance. For this reason, packing the media less than 50% is more reasonable way in view of economic. Such a tendency well agreed with the variation of ammonia-nitrogen removal efficiencies according to the media packing ratio in reactors at each HRT. Difference in effluent ammonia-nitrogen concentration between 50% media packing reactor and 75% media packing reactor was negligible. When comparing with the results of 25% packing reactor, difference was not so great.

Capturing the carbon dioxide emitted from coal-fired power plants will be necessary if targeted reduction in carbon emissions is to be achieved. Modelling and simulation are the base for optimal operation and control in thermal power plant and also play an important role in energy savings. This study aims to analyze the performance of supercritical coal fired power plant through steady and dynamic simulation using a commercial software gCCS. A whole power plant has been modeled and validated with design data of 500 MWe power plant, base and part load operations of the plant were also evaluated, consequently it had been proven that the simulated result had a good agreement with actual operating data. In addition, the effect of co-firng on the plant efficiency and flue gases were investigated using gCCS simulator.

이산화탄소로 대표되는 온실가스 저감이 세계적인 이슈가 됨에 따라, 이산화탄소 포집 및 저장(CCS: Carbon Capture & Storage)에 대한 연구도 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 연간 1만 톤급 이산화탄소의 지중저장용 파일럿 주입플랜트를 개발하였다. 주입플랜트의 핵심 구성품은 액상 이산화탄소를 주입조건으로 가압하는 가압펌프, 가압펌프 입구조건 확보를 위한 부스터 펌프, 초임계 상태로 이산화탄소를 승온시키는 인라인 히터 등이 있다. 개발된 구성품들을 바탕으로 전체 주입시스템을 설계, 제작하였다. 제작된 시스템의 시운전을 통하여, 인버터 조절에 따른 압력상승, 펌프 모터 회전수와 주입밸브 제어를 통한 주입압력 유지, PID 제어를 통한 온도확보가 적절히 이루어짐을 확인하였다. 전체 소비전력은 2,000 ~ 2,500 W로, 가압펌프의 소비전력이 75% 이상을 차지하였다. 본 이산화탄소 주입용 파일럿 플랜트는 향후 온실가스 저감 사업에 유일한 국산화 기기로서 다양하게 활용될 것으로 예상된다.

라돈가스는 암석이나 토양 등에 존재하는 자연 방사성 물질인 우라늄이 붕괴할 때 발생하는 무색, 무취, 무미의 가스이다. 인체가 연간 노출되는 방사선의 85%는 자연 방사선에 의한 것이고, 그 중 50%가 라돈가스이다. 미국 환경보호청(EPA)의 조사결과에 의하면, 라돈가스에 장시간 노출될 경우 흡연자는 1,000명 중 62명, 비흡연자는 1,000명 중 7명이 폐암 발병률에 노출된다. 이러한 라돈가스의 위해성을 저감하고자 활성탄소를 사용하여 경화체를 제작하여 그에 대한 공극 특성과 라돈가스 저감 특성에 대한 실험을 진행하였다. 활성탄소를 활용하였을 경우, 측정기간이 길어질수록 라돈가스 농도는 급격한 저감과 그래프 상의 변화를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 활성탄소의 재료적 특성 중 하나인 공극 분포와 미세공 특성을 파악할 수 있다.

Advanced drinking water production systems, which not only good quality product water, but also provide easy management and mainenance of facilities, and operate on a smaller site area, have been expected to be developed for some time. We are going ahead with a program to deveop an advanced drinking water production system, using immersed membrane filtration combined with biological activated carbon, to meet the need described above. The demonstration plant tests been conducted with surface water from the Yodo-river since Dec. 1998 to measure treatment performance, reliability, and controllability of the system. The quality of product water has consistently remained at a very high level for about 2 years under controlled conditions. Results showed that the re-circulation granular biological activated carbon could suppress the increase of membrane pressure difference and promote a reduction of dissolved organic matter. (This work has been conducted along the ACT21 Programs.)

Recently, a bed company's product has detected a certain level of radon or higher, making it a popular search word on portal sites. Because of this problem, people are becoming more interested in radon. The government plans to support the establishment of a radon alert system for households through a radon concentration survey of 10,000 households. The use of palm charcoal as an indoor finishing material will reduce the risk of lung cancer through radon reduction. The experiment used a method of replacing palm activated carbon with blast furnace slag, and the adsorption performance of radon tends to increase as the replacement rate of palm activated carbon increases.

Well-distributed ruthenium (Ru) nanoparticles decorated on porous carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were synthesized using an electrospinning method and a reduction method for use in high-performance elctrochemical capacitors. The formation mechanisms including structural, morphological, and chemical bonding properties are demonstrated by means of field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). To investigate the optimum amount of the Ru nanoparticles decorated on the porous CNFs, we controlled three different weight ratios (0 wt%, 20 wt%, and 40 wt%) of the Ru nanoparticles on the porous CNFs. For the case of 20 wt% Ru nanoparticles decorated on the porous CNFs, TEM results indicate that the Ru nanoparticles with ~2-4 nm size are uniformly distributed on the porous CNFs. In addition, 40 wt% Ru nanoparticles decorated on the porous CNFs exhibit agglomerated Ru nanoparticles, which causes low performance of electrodes in electrochemical capacitors. Thus, proper distribution of 20 wt% Ru nanoparticles decorated on the porous CNFs presents superior specific capacitance (~280.5 F/g at 10 mV/s) as compared to the 40 wt% Ru nanoparticles decorated on the porous CNFs and the only porous CNFs. This enhancement can be attributed to the synergistic effects of well-distributed Ru nanoparticles and porous CNF supports having high surface area.

This study has been conducted to describe the establishment of national measures to reduce world energy consumption and $CO_2$ Emission. Particularly, Reductions in energy consumption from building operation is the most important part to achieve these national objectives. Element to evaluate the quantitative effects of these systems by having rationalized regulation and operation is essential, when planning for building energy reduction design. USGBC(US Green Building Council) have operated sustainable assessment method called LEED, which introduces baseline performance and evaluation direction for building simulation techniques. This research analyzed Quantitative assessments of the building energy consumption and analyzed baseline figures to provide comparative analysis with standard building settings.
