산소 결핍 페라이트 (oxygen deficient ferrites, ODF) MF $e_2$ $O_{4-}$$\delta$/는 약 30$0^{\circ}C$의 낮은 온도에서 온실가스중 하나인 $CO_2$를 C와 $O_2$로 분해시킨다. 본 연구에서는 $CO_2$분해 촉매로서 3원계 초미세 페라이트 N $i_{x}$Z $n_{1-x}$F $e_2$ $O_4$와 N $i_{x}$ $Co_{1-x}$F $e_2$ $O_4$를 수열합성법과 공침법 등의 습식 합성법으로 각각 합성하여 이들 분말의 특성과 $CO_2$분해 특성을 고찰하였다. 페라이트의 XRD 결과, 결정구조는 모두 전형적인 스피넬 구조로 동일하게 나타났다. BET 비표면적은 수열합성법으로 제조한 3원계 페라이트의 경우 110$m^2$/g 이상으로 공침법으로 제조한 페라이트보다 비교적 큰 값을 나타냈고 분말 입자크기 또한 약 10nm의 매우 미세한 분말을 얻을 수 있었다. 3원계 산소 결핍 페라이트의 $CO_2$분해 효율은 공침법으로 합성한 것보다 수열합성법으로 합성한 것이 더 우수하게 나타났으며, N $i_{x}$ $Co_{1-x}$F $e_2$ $O_{4-}$$\delta$/보다 N $i_{x}$Z $n_{1-x}$F $e_2$ $O_{4-}$$\delta$/가 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 플라즈마/촉매 공정을 이용하여 n-헵테인과 일산화탄소의 동시제거에 대해 조사하였다. n-헵테인과 일산화탄소의 분해특성을 파악하기 위해 플라즈마/촉매 공정과 촉매공정의 분해효율을 비교하였고, 촉매의 종류, 온도, 전력 등을 변화시켜 실험을 진행하였다. n-헵테인의 분해효율은 반응기 내부의 온도보다는 에너지밀도에 더 영향을 많이 받는 것으로 확인되었으며, 일산화탄소는 에너지밀도와 반응기 내부 온도 모두의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 촉매의 종류를 달리하며 n-헵테인의 분해효율을 조사한 결과 $Pd/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ > $Ru/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3{\approx}Ag/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$순으로 나타났다. 특히, $Pd/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$를 사용한 경우 n-헵테인 분해 과정에서 일산화탄소가 거의 발생하지 않았으며, $CO_2$ 선택도가 100%에 가까웠다. 일산화탄소 분해효율은 $Pd/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ > $Ru/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ > $Ag/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 순으로 나타났으며, $180^{\circ}C$이하의 온도에서는 플라즈마/촉매 공정의 효율이 높고, $180^{\circ}C$이상에서는 촉매 공정의 분해효율이 높았다.

본 연구는 세 가지 다른 형태의 플라즈마 반응기 (SD, DBD, PDC)를 이용한 기상의 스타이렌 분해실험을 통하여 최적 플라즈마 반응기에 대하여 고찰하였다. 각 플라즈마 반응기에 대한 비교평가를 위하여 스타이렌 분해효율, 탄소수지, 반응 생성물의 동정, 생성물의 수율 및 선택성 등의 항목을 평가하였다. 스타이렌의 전환과정은 오존과의 반응이 중요하며, PDC 반응기보다 오존생성량이 많은 SD와 DBD 반응기가 스타이렌의 전환율이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 한편, PDC 반응기는 탄소수지, COx ($CO+CO_2$)의 수율 및 선택성에 있어서, SD와 DBD 반응기 보다 훨씬 더 뛰어난 것으로 판명되었다. 스타이렌 초기농도를 100ppmv로 하였을 때, PDC 반응기와 플라즈마 단독공정에서 탄소수지 100%를 달성하기 위해 필요한 비투입 에너지는 각각 110 J/L와 420 J/L로, PDC 반응기가 훨씬 더 낮은 에너지로 스타이렌의 완전분해가 가능하였다. 스타이렌의 분해과정에서 생성되는 주된 생성물로는 CO와 $CO_2$가 있으며 HCOOH가 미량 성분으로 관찰되었다. 이러한 반응 생성물의 수율에는 차이가 나타나지만 이들의 분포는 플라즈마 반응기의 종류와 관계없이 거의 동일한 것으로 나타났다. 이상적인 스타이렌 분해 성성물인 $CO_2$의 선택성에 있어서 SD와 DBD 반응기는 $39.5{\sim}60%$ 정도를 나타내었으나 PDC 반응기에서는 $68.5{\sim}75.5%$ 정도로 훨씬 더 높은 것으로 나타났다.

The gaseous carbon dioxide has been irradiated with Co-60 gamma-radiation in the presence and absence of various alcohols, and the radiolysis products analyzed by gas chromatography. Experimental results indicate that no detectable amount of carbon monoxide is formed when pure carbon dioxide is irradiated. By adding small quantities of alcohols to carbon dioxide, however, considerable amount of carbon monoxide, ketones, alcohols and other organic products have been detected. By adding 0.1% of methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-methyl-l-propanol, 2-butanol, and 2-methyl-2-propanol, G(CO) values obtained are 4.4, 4.5, 5.2, 4.4, 5.2, 5.0, 4.7 and 4.1, respectively. These high yields of carbon monoxide suggest that the oxidation reactions of carbon monoxide may be suppressed by scavenging oxygen atom with the alcohols. The main radiolytic decomposition reactions of the alcohols present in small quantity in carbon dioxide may be supposed to be the reactions with the oxygen atom produced by the radiolysis of carbon dioxide. The decomposition reactions seems to follow pseudo-first order kinetics with respect to the alcohols. The decomposition rate measured with 2-propanol is the fastest and that with 2-methyl-2-propanol the slowest. The mechanisms of the radiolytic decomposition reactions of the alcohols present in carbon dioxide are discussed on the basis of the experimental results of the present study.

Methane의 부분산화에 의하여 일산화탄소를 발생시키고 이를 이용하여 온실가스로 알려져 있는 $N_2O$를 분해시키기 위한 이중 촉매 반응시스템의 반응 특성을 살펴보았다. 일산화탄소를 발생시키기 위한 제1 반응기의 조건은 Co-Rh-Al (1/0.2/1) 촉매를 사용할 때 $500^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 methane과 산소의 비율이 5:1이고 GHSV $8,000h^{-1}$ 일때 가장 적합하였다. 제1 반응기에서 methane을 부분산화시켜 얻은 혼합 가스를 사용하는 이중 반응시스템에서 제2 반응기에 촉매로 Co-Rh-Al(1/0.2/1)과 Co-Rh-Zr-Al(1/0.2/0.3/1)을 사용한 경우 Co-Rh-Al(1/0.2/1) 촉매를 사용한 single bed system 보다 $250^{\circ}C$ 이하의 저온에서 우수한 분해성능을 나타내었다. 두 경우 모두 $250^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서는 $N_2O$가 100% 분해되었다. 또한, 제2 반응기에서 $N_2O$ 분해성능은 NO의 존재 유무에 관계없이 산소의 농도가 증가할수록 감소함을 보여주었다. 다만 NO가 존재할 경우 산소의 농도가 10,000 ppm 이하일 때 100% 분해율을 보이며 그 이상일 경우 급격히 감소하였다.

Catalytic activities of color and conductive carbon blacks in ethane decomposition for $CO_2-free$ hydrogen production were investigated. The ethane decomposition was carried out in a conventional fixed bed reactor under atmospheric pressure at 973-1173 K for 2 hours. When the decomposition in the presence of carbon black was compared with the non-catalytic thermal decomposition, the former exhibited significantly higher ethane conversion, higher C(s) selectivity and lower ethylene selectivity with small increase of the methane selectivity, which resulted in higher hydrogen yield. This indicates that carbon black is catalytically effective for dehydrogenation of ethane as well as subsequent decomposition of ethylene. All the carbon blacks exhibited stable catalytic activity with time. In durability tests, fluffy N-330 and BP2000 maintained their activities for 36 hours.

The infrared multiphoton decomposition of trichloroethylene-H(TCE-H) and trichloroehtylene-D(TCE-D) was studied by using the high power $CO_2$ laser. The pressure dependence of TCE-H decomposition showed that the HCl elimination channel to form ClC ≡ CCl was the major step at high pressures, while the HC ≡ CCl formation step became important at low pressures. $Cl_2C$ = CHCl ${\rightarrow}$ (high pressure) ClC ${\equiv}$ CCl + HCl ${\rightarrow}$ (low pressure) HC ${\equiv}$ CCl + 2Cl${\cdot}$($Cl_2$) The IRMPD of TCE-H and TCE-D mixtures with 10P(20) laser line showed that optimum conditions of large isotope selectivity were the low system pressures and high laser powers. The experimentally observed dependence of the branching ratios on the pressure and laser fluence, and the isotope selectivity coefficients were quantitatively explained by using the modified energy grained master equations (EGME) model.

To date, carbon and nitrogen co-doped photocatalysts (CN-$TiO_2$) for environmental application focused mainly on the aqueous phase to investigate the decomposition of water pollutants. Accordingly, the present study explored the photocatalytic performance of CN-$TiO_2$ photocatalysts for the purification of indoor-level gas-phase aromatic species under different operational conditions. The characteristics of prepared photocatalysts were investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning emission microscope, diffuse reflectance UV-VIS-NIR analysis, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis. In most cases, the decomposition efficiency for the target compounds exhibited a decreasing trend as input concentration (IC) increased. Specifically, the average decomposition efficiencies for benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylene (BTEX) over a 3-h process decreased from 29% to close to zero, 80 to 5%, 95 to 19%, and 99 to 32%, respectively, as the IC increased from 0.1 to 2.0 ppm. The decomposition efficiencies obtained from the CN-$TiO_2$ photocatalytic system were higher than those of the $TiO_2$ system. As relative humidity (RH) increased from 20 to 95%, the decomposition efficiencies for BTEX decreased from 39 to 5%, 97 to 59%, 100 to 87%, and 100 to 92%, respectively. In addition, as the stream flow rates (SFRs) decreased from 3.0 to 1.0 L $min^{-1}$, the average efficiencies for BTEX increased from 0 to 58%, 63 to 100%, 69 to 100%, and 68 to 100%, respectively. Taken together, these findings suggest that three (IC, RH, and SFR) should be considered for better BTEX decomposition efficiencies when applying CN-$TiO_2$ photocatalytic technology to purification of indoor air BTEX.

A UVC photo-Fenton advanced oxidation process (AOP) was studied to develop a process for the decomposition of oxalic acid waste generated in the chemical decontamination of nuclear power plants. The oxalate decomposition behavior was investigated by using a UVC photo-Fenton reactor system with a recirculation tank. The effects of the three operational variables-UVC irradiation, H₂O₂ and Fenton reagent-on the oxalate decomposition behavior were experimentally studied, and the behavior of the decomposition product, CO₂, was observed. UVC irradiation of oxalate resulted in vigorous CO₂ bubbling, and the irradiation dose was thought to be a rate-determining variable. Based on the above results, the oxalate decomposition kinetics were investigated from the viewpoint of radical formation, propagation, and termination reactions. The proposed UVC irradiation density model, expressed by the first-order reaction of oxalate with the same amount of H₂O₂ consumption, satisfactorily predicted the oxalate decomposition behavior, irrespective of the circulate rate in the reactor system within the experimental range.

This study was conducted to evaluate forest carbon cycling and soil $CO_2$ efflux rates in a 42-year-old pine (Pinus densiflora) stand located in Hamyang-gun, Korea. Aboveground and soil organic carbon storage, litterfall, litter decomposition, and soil $CO_2$ efflux rates were measured for one year. Estimated aboveground biomass carbon storage and increment in this stand were $3,250gC/m^2\;and\;156gC\;m^{-2}yr^{-1}$, respectively. Soil organic carbon storage at the depth of 30 cm was $10,260gC/m^2$ Mean organic carbon inputs by needle and total litterfall were $176gC\;m^{-2}yr^{-1}\;and\;235gC\;m^{-2}yr^{-1}$, respectively. Litter decomposition rates were faster in nne roots less than 2 mm diameter size ($<220\;g\;kg^{-1}yr^{-1}$) than in needle litter ($<120\;g\;kg^{-1}yr^{-1}$). Annual mean and total soil respiration rates were $0.37g\;CO_2m^{-2}h^{-1}$ and $2,732g\;CO_2m^{-2}yr^{-1}$ during the study period. A strong positive relationship existed between soil $CO_2$ efflux and soil temperature (r=0.8149), while soil $CO_2$ efflux responded negatively to soil pH (r=-0.3582).
