The Decomposition of NO$_2$ (nitrogen dioxide), one of the Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP), was studied by utilizing the SPCP (Surface induced discharge Plasma Chemical Processing) reactor so as to obtain optimum process variables and maximum decomposition efficiencies. Experimental results showed that for the frequency of 10kHz, the highest deco position efficiency of 84.7% for NO$_2$ was observed at the power consumptions of 20W. The decomposition efficiency of $NO_2$ was found to be: 1) proportional to the residence times, and inversely proportional to the initial concentrations of $NO_2$; 2) the maximum when the electrode diameter was 3mm; 3) influenced by the electrode material, decreasing in the order of W>Cu>Al; and 4) proportional to the $CH_4$ content, due to which the highest efficiency of 98% was obtained with almost all the $NO_2$ removed.

Fluorinated compounds mainly used in the semiconductor industry are potent greenhouse gases. Recently, thermal plasma gas scrubbers have been gradually replacing conventional burn-wet type gas scrubbers which are based on the combustion of fossil fuels because high conversion efficiency and control of byproduct generation are achievable in chemically reactive high temperature thermal plasma. Chemical equilibrium composition at high temperature and numerical analysis on a complex thermal flow in the thermal plasma decomposition system are used to predict the process of thermal decomposition of fluorinated gas. In order to increase economic feasibility of the thermal plasma decomposition process, increase of thermal efficiency of the plasma torch and enhancement of gas mixing between the thermal plasma jet and waste gas are discussed. In addition, noble thermal plasma systems to be applied in the thermal plasma gas treatment are introduced in the present paper.

The catalytic decomposition of CFC-113(1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane) was studied over an activated carbon catalyst in a fixed-bed reactor at the temperature from 300 to 600$^\circ$C, the space velocity (SV) of 1800 $\sim 14400h^{-1}$ and the mole ratio(decomposition agent/CFC-113) of 0.25 $\sim$ 5. In the absence of a decomposition agent, the decomposition efficiency of CFC-113 was low but when a decomposition agent was added to the gas stream, it was dramatically increased with the increase of temperature. In particular, in the presence of n-hexane as the decomposition agent it showed a high decomposition efficiency compared with benzene at 400$^\circ$C. It was found that the decomposition activity of CFC-113 was very sensitive to reaction temperature. Thus it is expected that to raise the reaction temperature is more effective than to increase the residence time and the amount of decomposition agent. Over the activated carbon catalyst more than 99% decomposition was achieved at the reaction temperature of 600$^\circ$C, SV of 7200$h^{-1}$, the mole ration $(C_6H_{14}/CFC-113)$ of 1 in this study.

To treat certain wastewater that has alcohol and phenol, we performed the ozone electrolysis by using the titanium electrode. In this experiment, we examined decomposition voltage of organics, time for electrolysis, and removal efficiency of organics. In addition we compared the ozone oxidation electrolysis. The followings are results; 1. When it comes to the alcohol treatment in wastewater, ozone electrolysis showed higher removal efficiency than ozone oxidation or electrolysis. 2. After comparing the decomposition rate of methylalcohol, ethylalcohol, and prophylalcohol in ozone electrolysis, we knew the fact that increasing carbon number made the decomposition rate slow. 3. According to the treatment of alcohol by ozone electrolysis, decomposition voltage was 50V, time for electrolysis was three hours, and treatment acidity was neutral (pH 6.5 - 8.1). 4. Ozone electrolysis was effective to the phenol treatment. When we treated phenol by using ozone electrolysis for three hours, TOC treatment efficiency was 95%. However, ozone oxidation just showed 45% treatment efficiency.

2-D flow fields are studied by using a shared memory parallel computer with a parallel flow analysis program which uses domain decomposition method and MPI library for data exchange at overlapped interface. Especially, effects of directional domain decomposition on parallel efficiency are studied for 2-D Lid-Driven cavity flow and flow through square cavity. It is known from the present study that domain decomposition along the main flow direction gives better parallel efficiency in 1-D partitioning than along the other direction. 2-D partitioning, however, is less sensitive to flow directions and gives good parallel efficiency for most of the cases considered.

An experimental study has been carried out to investigate a thermal decomposition of urea solution at relative low temperature with a lab-scaled exhaust pipe. The conversion efficiency of reductant considered with both ammonia and HNCO related with the urea injection quantity, inflow gas velocity and temperature. The conversion efficiency of ammonia was larger than that of HNCO under all experimental conditions unlike the theoretical thermolysis reaction.

An experimental study was performed on the decomposition of gaseous ammonia and two selected volatile organic compounds (VOCs: toluene and acetone) in a combined nonthermal plasma reactor with corona and glow discharges. A lab pilot scale reactor (206 liter) equipped with a high electric power pack was used to determine the decomposition efficiency in relation with the inlet concentration and applied voltage. Three different types of discharging electrode such as wired rack, wire strings for corona discharge, and thin plate for glow discharge were put in order in the reactor. While decomposition of ammonia decreased with an increase in the initial concentration, acetone showed an opposite result. In the case of toluene however no explicit tendency was found in toluene and aceton. Negative discharge resulted in high decomposition efficiency than the positive one for all gases. A better removal of gas phase element could be achieved when fume dust were present simultaneously.

본 연구에서는 오존의 용해효율 개선과 자가분해 촉진을 위해 나노기포와 초음파 캐비테이션을 동시에 적용한 오존 나노기포 공정을 조사하였다. 공정의 유기물 분해효율을 파악하기 위해 200mm × 200mm × 300mm 규모의 반응기를 제작하여 다양한 조건에서 페놀 분해 실험을 진행하였다. 나노기포의 사용은 60분 반응에서 페놀 분해 효율을 일반적인 폭기 방식에 비해 2.07배 증가시켰으며, 용존 오존의 최대 용해농도를 크게 증가시켜 오존의 용해효율 개선에 효과적이었다. 초음파 조사는 나노기포와 함께 사용될 때 페놀 분해 효율을 36% 증가시켰으며 오존의 자가 분해 촉진으로 용존 오존은 낮게 나타났다. 초음파 출력이 강할수록 페놀 분해 효율도 증가하였으며, 실험에서 사용한 28kHz, 132kHz, 580kHz 중 132kHz의 주파수에서 페놀의 분해 효율이 가장 높게 나타났다. 오존 나노공정은 기존 오존 공정과 같이 높은 pH에서 더 좋은 분해효율을 보였으나 중성에서도 60분 반응 후 페놀 100% 분해를 달성하여 pH에 의한 영향이 적은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 초음파에 의한 오존 자가분해 촉진에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 초음파 조사에 의한 기포 특성 변화를 확인하기 위해 Zetasizer를 이용하여 기포의 크기와 제타 전위 분석을 진행하였으며 초음파 조사가 기포의 평균 크기를 11% 감소시키고 기포 표면의 음전하를 강화하여 오존 나노기포의 물질전달과 수산화 라디칼 생성 효율에 긍정적인 효과를 끼치는 것을 확인하였다.

Compared with hydrogen, ammonia has the advantages of high gravimetric hydrogen densities (17.8 wt.%), ease of storage and transportation as a chemical hydrogen storage medium, while its application in small-scale on-site hydrogen production scenarios is limited by the need for complex separation equipment during high purity hydrogen production. Therefore, the study of PEMFC, which can directly utilize ammonia decomposition gas, can greatly expand the application of fuel cells. In this paper, the output characteristics, fuel efficiency and the variation trend of hydrogen concentration and local current density in the anode channel of fuel cell with the output voltage of PEMFC fueled by ammonia decomposition gas were studied by experiment and simulation. The results indicate that the maximum output power of the hybrid fuel decreases by 9.6% compared with that of the pure hydrogen fuel at the same inlet hydrogen equivalent. When the molar concentration of hydrogen in the anode channel is less than 0.12, the output characteristics of PEMFC will be seriously affected. Employing ammonia decomposition gas as fuel, the efficiency corresponding to the maximum output power of PEMFC is approximately 47%, which is 10% lower than the maximum efficiency of pure hydrogen.

대기중에 방출되는 이산화탄소 저감을 위해서 산소결핍 페라이트를 이용한 이산화탄소의 탄소 전환에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 우레아 분해를 이용한 균일침전법에 의해 Ni 페라이트 $Ni_{0.4}Fe_{2.6}O_4$를 다공성 세라믹섬유 지지체(지름 50mm, 두께 10mm)에 in-situ 하게 담지하였다. 페라이트를 다공성 세라믹섬유 지지체에 담지하는 방법이 이산화탄소 분해효율에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 페라이트가 담지된 시편으로부터 잔류 염소이온과 우레아를 제거하면 주 결정상으로 스피넬 구조의 페라이트를 얻을 수 있었으나 이산화탄소 분해효율이 크게 향상되지는 않았다. 페라이트가 중량 분율로 20% (1g) 담지된 다공성 세라믹섬유 복합체 시편의 경우, 초기 3분 까지는 100% 이산화탄소 분해효율을 나타내었으나 10분 경과 후에는 급격하게 감소하였다. 이산화탄소 분해효율 감쇄 특성시간은 약 3∼7분 사이로 나타났다.
