BACKGROUND: Hydrothermal carbonization reaction is the thermo-chemical energy conversion technology for producing the solid fuel of high carbon density from organic wastes. The hydrothermal carbonization reaction is accompanied by the thermal hydrolysis reaction which converse particulate organic matters to soluble forms (hydro-thermal hydrolysate). Recently, hydrothermal carbonization is adopted as a pre-treatment technology to improve anaerobic digestion efficiency. This research was carried out to assess the effects of hydro-thermal reaction temperature on the methane potential and anaerobic biodegradability in the thermal hydrolysate of organic sludge generating from the wastewater treatment plant of poultry slaughterhouse .METHODS AND RESULTS: Wastewater treatment sludge cake of poultry slaughterhouse was treated in the different hydro-thermal reaction temperature of 170, 180, 190, 200, and 220℃. Theoretical and experimental methane potential for each hydro-thermal hydrolysate were measured. Then, the organic substance fractions of hydro-thermal hydrolysate were characterized by the optimization of the parallel first order kinetics model. The increase of hydro-thermal reaction temperature from 170℃ to 220℃ caused the enhancement of hydrolysis efficiency. And the methane potential showed the maximum value of 0.381 Nm³ kg^-1-VS_added in the hydro-thermal reaction temperature of 190℃. Biodegradable volatile solid(VSB) content have accounted for 66.41% in 170℃, 72.70% in 180℃, 79.78% in 190℃, 67.05% in 200℃, and 70.31% in 220℃, respectively. The persistent VS content increased with hydro-thermal reaction temperature, which occupied 0.18% for 170℃, 2.96% for 180℃, 6.32% for 190℃, 17.52% for 200℃, and 20.55% for 220℃.CONCLUSION: Biodegradable volatile solid showed the highest amount in the hydro-thermal reaction temperature of 190℃, and then, the optimum hydro-thermal reaction temperature for organic sludge was assessed as 190℃ in the aspect of the methane production. The rise of hydro-thermal reaction temperature caused increase of persistent organic matter content.

Recently, Korea's municipal wastewater treatment plants generated amount of wastewater sludge per day. However, ocean dumping of sewage sludge has been prohibited since 2012 by the London dumping convention and protocol and thus removal or treatment of wastewater sludge from field sites is an important issue on the ground site. The hydrothermal carbonization is one of attractive thermo-chemical method to upgrade sewage sludge to produce solid fuel with benefit method from the use of no chemical catalytic. Hydrothermal carbonization improved that the upgrading fuel properties and increased materials and energy recovery, which is conducted at temperatures ranging from 200 to $350^{\circ}C$ with a reaction time of 30 min. Hydrothermal carbonization increased the heating value though the increase of the carbon and fixed carbon content of solid fuel due to dehydration and decarboxylation reaction. Therefore, after the hydrothermal carbonization, the H/C and O/C ratios decreased because of the chemical conversion. Energy retention efficiency suggest that the optimum temperature of hydrothermal carbonization to produce more energy-rich solid fuel is approximately $200^{\circ}C$.

The hydrothermal carbonization method has received great attention because of the conversion process from biomass. The reaction produces various products in hydrochar, bio-liquid, and gas. Even though its yield cannot be ignored in amount, it is difficult to find research papers on bio-liquid generated from the hydrothermal carbonization reaction of biomass. In particular, the heterogeneity of feedstock composition may make the characterization of bio-liquid different and difficult. In this study, bio-liquid from the hydrothermal carbonization reaction of food wastes at $230^{\circ}C$ for 4 h was investigated. Among various products, fatty acid methyl esters were analyzed using two different extraction methods: liquid-liquid extraction and column chromatography. Different elutions with various solvents enabled us to categorize the various components. The eluents and fractions obtained from two different extraction methods were analyzed by gas chromatography with a mass spectrometer (GC/MS). The composition of the bio-liquid in each fraction was characterized, and seven fatty acid methyl esters were identified using the library installed in GC/MS device.

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.

The solid-state anaerobic digestion (SS-AD) has promoted the development and application for biogas production from biomass which operate a high solid content feedstock, as higher than 15% of total solids. However, the digested byproduct of SS-AD can be used as a fertilizer or as solid fuel, but it has serious problems: high moisture content and poor dewaterability. The organic residue from SS-AD has to be improved to address these problems and to make it a useful alternative energy source. Hydrothermal carbonization was investigated for conversion of the organic residue from the SS-AD of livestock waste to solid fuels. The effects of hydrothermal carbonization were evaluated by varying the reaction temperatures within the range of $180-240^{\circ}C$. Hydrothermal carbonization increased the calorific value through the reduction of the hydrogen and oxygen contents of the solid fuel, in addition to its drying performance. Therefore, after the hydrothermal carbonization, the H/C and O/C atomic ratios decreased through the chemical conversion. Thermogravimatric analysis provided the changed combustion characteristics due to the improvement of the fuel properties. As a result, the hydrothermal carbonization process can be said to be an advantageous technology in terms of improving the properties of organic waste as a solid-recovered fuel product.

하수슬러지의 대부분은 생물학적 처리에 의한 미생물에 의해 분해 가능한 유기물질을 다량 함유하고 있는 유기성 폐기물이다. 기존의 하수슬러지 처리방법으로는 건조, 소각, 반탄화 그리고 탄화 등의 기술을 이용하여 감량화 및 연료화를 진행하고 있다. 그러나, 건조를 기반으로 하여 539kcal/kg의 잠열이 소비됨으로 에너지 소비가 높은 단점이 지적되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 열화학적 처리인 수열탄화(HTC)를 통해 고형연료를 생산하고자 한다. 고형연료의 가치를 평가하기 위하여 탄화도 및 연료비의 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 수열탄화 반응온도가 증가할수록 탄화도의 상승으로 저위발열량도 약 500kcal/kg 상승하였다. H/C, O/C, Ratio는 1.78, 0.46에서 1.57, 0.32로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 건조슬러지의 가연분(고정탄소+휘발분) 대비 회분(Ash)의 비율이 0.25 이상으로 나타날 경우는 수열탄화를 진행하여도 탄화도 및 발열량의 증가되지 않는다는 것을 도출하였다.

Spontaneous combustion propensity of various coals of carbonization grade as a pulverized fuel of coal-fired power plant has been tested from an initial temperature of $25^{\circ}C$ to $600^{\circ}C$ by heating in an oven with air to analyze the self-oxidation starting temperature. These tests produce CPT (Cross Point Temperature), IT (Ignition temperature), and CPS (Cross Point Slope) calculated as the slope of time taken for a rapid exothermic oxidation reaction at CPT base. CPS shows a carbonization rank dependence whereby wood pellet has the highest propensity to spontaneous combustion of $20.995^{\circ}C/min$. A sub-bituminous KIDECO coal shows a CPS value of $15.370^{\circ}C/min$, whereas pet coke has the highest carbonization rank at $2.950^{\circ}C/min$. The nature of this trend is most likely attributable to a concentration of volatile matter and oxygen functional groups of coal surface that governs the available component for oxidation, as well as surface area of fuel char, and constant pressure molar heat.

바이오매스의 탄화 반응에서 촉매의 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 열중량분석기에서 탄화 반응 실험을 하였다. 사용된 바이오매스는 대나무와 소나무이었고, 사용 촉매는 K, Zn 금속화합물이었다. 질소 분위기에서 상온에서 $850^{\circ}C$까지 승온속도 $1{\sim}10^{\circ}C/min$에서 탄화 실험이 행하여졌다. 또한 석탄과의 혼소를 위한 바이오매스 반탄화 공정에서의 촉매의 영향 실험이 가열속도 $5^{\circ}C/min$, 반탄화 온도 220, 250, $280^{\circ}C$에서 30분간 등온 조건을 유지하면서 행하여졌다. 반탄화 시료에 대한 비등온 연소반응 특성 실험이 $200{\sim}850^{\circ}C$ 구간에서 행하여졌다. 바이오매스가 탄화 되기 시작하는 탄화 개시 온도($T_i$)와 최대탄화속도가 나타나는 온도($T_{max}$)는 촉매량이 증가할수록 낮아졌다. $400^{\circ}C$까지 열분해 되지 않고 남은 잔여 촤 성분은 촉매량이 증가할수록 증가되는 경향성을 보였다. 따라서 촉매 첨가 시 탄화에너지를 감소시키고 생성 촤의 발열량을 개선할 수 있다. 반탄화 조건에서 K촉매가 담지 된 경우 무촉매 바이오매스의 최적조건인 $250^{\circ}C$ 보다 낮은 $220^{\circ}C$까지 반탄화 조건을 완화시킬 수 있었다. K촉매 함유 반탄화 바이오매스의 연소반응에서 활성화에너지는 25.1~27.0 kJ/mol 범위로 무촉매 바이오매스 46.5~58.7 kJ/mol보다 낮게 나타났다.
