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.

Dimethyl ether (DME) is an attractive fuel as a hydrogen carrier for mobile PEMFC applications. However, its reforming technologies are rarely studied especially by using autothermal reforming (ATR) method. This work explored the impact of operating conditions to the performance of DME ATR. Temperature, Steam to carbon ratio(SCR), Oxygen to carbon ratio(OCR) and Gas hourly space velocity(GHSV) were considered as the operating conditions. As results, conversion efficiency was increased as the temperature increased, but saturated around $700^{\circ}C$. There was no significant effect of SCR on conversion efficiency, but high SCR led reactions in endothermic manner. High OCR substantially suppressed conversion efficiency, but it helped to sustain the temperature by stimulating exothermic reactions. Conversion efficiency was decreased as GHSV increased. The optimized operating conditions was suggested: $700^{\circ}C$, SCR of 1.5, OCR of 0.45 and GHSV below 15000/h and conversion efficiency was ~85% at the conditions.

This study focused on the effects of the $CO_2$ gas concentration in fresh charge and induction air temperature on the combustion characteristics of homogeneous charge compression ignition with dimethyl ether (DME) fuel, which was injected at the intake port. Because of adding $CO_2$ in fresh charge, start of auto-ignition was retarded and bum duration became longer. Indicated combustion efficiency and exhaust gas emission were found to be worse due to the incomplete combustion. Partial burn was observed at the high concentration of $CO_2$ in fresh charge with low temperature of induction air. However, indicated thermal efficiency was improved due to increased expansion work by late ignition and prolonged bum duration. Start of auto-ignition timing was advanced with negligible change of burn duration, as induction air temperature increased. Burn duration was mainly affected by oxygen mole concentration in induction mixture. Bum duration was increased, as oxygen mole concentration was decreased.

The single-step process for conversion of syngas to DME give higher conversion than the syngas-to-methanol process. This arises because of a synergy among the three simultaneous reaction, methanol synthesis, methanol dehydration and water gas shift reaction, in the process. we would find the optimal condition of the process which these advantages. The optimal condition of DME synthesis reaction over a commercial $Cu/Zn/Al_2O_3$ catalyst and Hybrid catalyst in a fixed bed reactor. The syngas-to-dimethyl ether conversion was examined on various reaction condition (Temperature 473~553K, $H_2/CO$ ratio 1~3, Pressure 30'50atm, GHSV 1000~4000).

본 연구는 현재 상용화를 추진중인 Propane-DME(dimethyl ether) 혼합가스를 가정용 가스레인지에 적용하였을 경우 각 버너에서의 열효율 특성이 KS 기준에 부합되는지를 알아보기 위하여 국내 4개사의 가정용 가스레인지를 대상으로 Propane 100%인 가스와 Propane-DME 혼합비율이 $80%{\sim}20%$(wt.%)인 혼합 가스에 대하여 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, DME의 발열량이 낮아 DME 혼합비율이 높아질수록 열효율은 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 4개사 중 1개사의 제품은 Propane-DME 혼합비율이 $80%{\sim}20%$(wt.%)인 혼합가스를 사용하였을 경우 열효율이 KS 기준인 40%에 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 이에, Propane-DME 혼합비율이 $80%{\sim}20%$(wt.%)인 혼합가스를 가정용 가스레인지에 적용하기 위해서는 적정한 기준개발이 요구된다.

The present study is numerically investigated for the high pressure effects on the vaporization process of the DME droplet. The evaporation rate of DME droplets is about twice that of dodecane droplets at the same chamber condition. The DM droplet vaporization characteristics is parametrically studied for the wide range of the operating conditions encountered with the high pressure combustion process.

Dimethyl ether(DME)는 대기 오염 문제와 에너지 문제가 대두됨에 따라 저공해 경유 대체 연료로 각광받고 있는 물질이다. 최근 들어 메탄올로부터 고체산 촉매를 이용하여 DME를 합성하고자 하는 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다[1-4]. 메탄올로부터 DME의 합성시 촉매로는 제올라이트나 SiO$_2$/${\gamma}$-Al$_2$O$_3$를 사용하기도 하지만 ${\gamma}$-Al$_2$O$_3$나 변형된 ${\gamma}$-Al$_2$O$_3$가 일반적으로 사용된다.(중략)

Methanol dehydration to dimethyl ether (DME) has been investigated over ZSM-5 zeolites and compared with that of ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. Although the catalytic activity was decreased with an increase in silica/alumina ratio, the DME selectivity increased. H-ZSM-5 and NaH-ZSM-5 zeolites were more active for conversion of methanol to DME than ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. $Na^+$ ion-exchanged H-ZSM-5 (NaH-ZSM-5) shows higher DME selectivity than H-ZSM-5 due to the selective removal of strong acid sites.

Dimethyl Ether(DME) engine use a highly efficient alternative fuel having a great quantity of oxygen and has a advantage no polluting PM gas. The existing DME fuel cam material is a highly expensive carbide alloy, and it is difficult to take a price advantage. Therefore the study of replacing body area with inexpensive steel material excluding piston shoe and contact area which demands high characteristics is needed. The development of WC-Ni base carbide alloy optimal bonding composition technique was accomplished in this study. To check out the influence of bonding temperature and time, bonding characteristics of sintering temperature was experimented. The hardness of specimen and bonding rate were measured using ultrasound equipment. The bonding state of each condition was excellent, and the thickness of mid-layer, temperature and maintaining time were measured. The mid-layer thickness according to bonding temperature and maintaining time were observed with optical microscope. We analyzed the micro-structural analysis, formation of bonding specimen, wafer fabrication and fuel cam abrasion test. Throughout this study, we confirmed that the fuel cam for DME engine which demands high durability against velocity and pressure is excellent.

Using numerical analysis, various factors influencing the performance development of high-pressure pumps for Dimethyl Ether (DME) engines were identified and the impact of each factor was evaluated using Taguchi method. DME fuels are more compressive than diesel fuels and have the lower heat generation, so it is necessary to increase the size of the plunger and speed (RPM) of the pump as well. In addition, it is necessary to change the shape and design of control valve to control the discharge flow and pressure. In this study, various variables affecting the performance and flow rate increase of high-pressure pumps for DME engines are planned using Taguchi method, and the best design method is proposed using correlation of the most important variables. As a result, we were able to provide the design value needed for a six-liter engine and provide optimal conditions. The best combination factors to optimize the flow rate at RPM 2,000 and diameter plunger with 20 mm. The regression equation can also be used to optimize the flow rate; -8, 13+0, 2552 RPM +54, 17 diam. Plunger.
