직접공기포집 기술은 기후 변화 완화에서 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 국제에너지기구와 기후변화에 관한 보고서에서는 이러한 중요성을 강조하고 있고, 탄소의 지속적인 배출에도 불구하고 이를 감소시킴으로써 지구 온난화를 1.5 ℃로 제한하는 것을 목표로 한다. 직접공기포집 기술은 초기 비용에도 불구하고 연구 및 개발, 운영 학습 및 규모의 경제를 통한 비용 절감의 가능성을 보여주고 있다. 최근 고투과도를 갖춘 고분자 막의 발전은 막 기반 직접공기포집 기술에 대한 잠재력을 제시하고 있으나, 효과적인 대기 중 CO₂ 분리를 위해서는 CO₂에 대한 높은 선택성과 투과성을 갖춘 막을 필요로 한다. 현재 연구는 막 최적화 연구를 다수의 연구팀에 의하여 연구되고 있으며, CO₂ 포집 효율을 향상시키는 데 중점을 두고 있다. 본 연구에서는 직접공기포집의 중요성, 발전 중인 비용 동향 및 기후 변화 완화에 있어서 막의 발전이 중요한 역할을 강조하고 있고, 덧붙여서 이 연구에서는 막 기반 DAC에서의 permeance와 selectivity의 이론적 배경, 조건, 구성, 장단점에 대해 알아보았다.

전 세계 화석 연료 사용이 지속적으로 증가함에 따라 공기 중 이산화탄소(CO₂) 농도가 수 세기에 걸쳐 증가하고 있다. 대기로의 CO₂ 배출을 줄이기 위한 방법으로, 주요 배출원인 발전소와 공장에 적용할 수 있는 이산화탄소 포집 및 저장(carbon capture and sequestration, CCS) 기술이 개발되고 있다. 기후 변화 완화 정책에 따라 negative emission 기술로 언급되는 공기 중 CO₂ 직접 포집 기술(direct air capture, DAC)은 CO₂ 농도가 0.04%로 매우 낮기 때문에 기존의 CCS 기술에 적용된 기술과 달리 흡착제를 이용한 저농도 CO₂ 포집 연구에 집중되어 있다. DAC 분야는 주로 CO₂의 흡착을 이용한 습식 흡착제, 건식 흡착제, 아민 기능화된 소재, 이온교환 수지 등이 연구되었다. 흡착제 기반 기술은 흡착제 재생에 따른 고온 열처리 공정이 필요하기 때문에 추가적인 에너지 소모가 없는 분리막 기반의 공기 중 CO₂ 포집 기술의 잠재력이 크다. 분리막은 특히 실내 공기 CO₂ 저감 환기 시스템 및 실내용 스마트팜(smart farm) 시스템의 연속적인 CO₂ 공급에 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. CO₂ 처리 기술은 기후 변화를 완화하기 위한 수단으로 개발이 지속되어야 하며 효율적인 공정 설계와 소재 성능 향상을 통해 공기 중 CO₂ 포집의 효율을 높일 수 있을 것이다.

We propose guidance laws based on a pursuit-evasion game. The game solutions are obtained from a pursuit-evasion game solver developed by the authors. We introduce a direct method to solve planar pursuit-evasion games with control variable constraints in which the game solution is sought by iteration of the update and correction steps. The initial value of the game solution is used for guidance of the evader and the pursuer, and then the pursuit-evasion game is solved again at the next time step. In this respect, the proposed guidance laws are similar to the approach of model predictive control. The proposed guidance method is compared to proportional navigation guidance for a pursuit-evasion scenario in which the evader always tries to maximize the capture time. The capture sets of the two guidance methods are demonstrated.

The effects of reaction temperature, SO2 and CO2 concentration in an air gas stream, particle sizes of limestone on the reactivity and capacity of SO2 removal have been determined in a thermogravimetric analyser(TGA). The apparent reaction order of sulfation reaction of pre-calcined lime(CaO) with respect to SO2 is found to be close to unity. The apparent activation energies are found to be 17,000 kcal/kmol for sulfation of pre-calcined lime and 19,500 kcal/kmol for direct sulfation of limestone(CaCO3). The initial sulfation reaction rate of pre-calcined lime increases with increasing temperature, whereas the sulfur capture capacity exhibits a maximum value at 90$0^{\circ}C$. In direct sulfation of limestone, sulfation reactivity and sulfur capature capacity of sorbent increase with increasing temperature and decreasing CO2 concentration in a gas bulk stream. The main pare of pre-calcined lime is shifted to the larger pore sizes and pore volume decreases with increasing sulfation time and temperature. The surface area of lime decreases with increasing calcination temperature under an air atmosphere, whereas is yearly constant under a CO2(5, 10%) atmosphere in a gas stream.

Cities cover only 3% of the planet's surface, yet they are responsible for more than 75% of the global emissions. Given the projected urban built area will double by 2060, the carbon emitted from cities will further increase. SOM proposes the Urban Sequoia concept, for buildings that go beyond 'net zero' and absorb carbon from the atmosphere. This concept combines multiple strategies, including the use of an optimised building form with a highly efficient structural system, modularized prefabrication techniques, holistic integration of facade, MEP and interiors' components, bio-based materials, and Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology, to reduce a 40-storey building's whole life cycle carbon emissions by more than 300% over a 100-year lifespan. Calculations of embodied carbon emissions are performed with SOM's in-house Environmental Analysis (EA) Tool to demonstrate the effectiveness of employing Urban Sequoia's design strategies in the design of new buildings using current technologies.

The objective of this is to experimentally investigate the effect of mixed jet on the oxygen transfer characteristics with the primary nozzle area ratio of an annular nozzle ejector for the application of a microbial fuel cell. A direct visualization method with a high speed camera system was used to capture the horizontal mixed jet images, and a binarization technique was used to analyze the images. The clean water unsteady state technique was used for the oxygen transfer measurement. The air-water mixed jet discharging into a water tank behaved similar to a buoyancy or horizontal jet with the primary nozzle area ratio. It was found that an optimum primary nozzle area ratio was observed where the oxygen transfer performance reached its maximum value due to the decrease of air volume fraction and the increase of jet length and air bubble dispersion.

Indoor air quality including metro subway is of recent interests in large cities. Inflow air to the inside of the train and circulating air flow through MVAC of stations contain large amount of iron based fine particles. This paper evaluated the collection of such a dust by magnetic filters as comparing to conventional particle capturing mechanisms such as inertia, direct impaction and diffusion. It was found that filtration velocity, magnetic field intensity, and fiber size were the most important parameters for magnetic filtration. Application of magnetic force obviously enhances the collection efficiency particularly in fine modes smaller than 10 mm. However, its effect was found greater in 2.5 mm than submicron particles.

This study presents a review on Chemical looping combustion (CLC) development, design aspects and modeling. The CLC is in fact an unmixed combustion based on the transfer of oxygen to the fuel by a solid oxygen carrier material avoiding the direct contact between air and fuel. The CLC process is considered as a very promising combustion technology for power plants and chemical industries due to its inherent capability of $CO_2$ capturing, which avoids extra separation costs of the of $CO_2$ from the rest of flue gases. This review covers the issues related to oxygen carrier materials. The modeling works are reviewed and different aspects of modeling are considered, as well. The main drawbacks and future research and prospects are remarked.

In most framed structures the nonlinearities and the damages are localized, extending over a limited length of the structural member. In order to capture the details of the local damage, the segments of a member that have entered the nonlinear range may need to be analyzed using the three-dimensional element (3D) model whereas the rest of the member can be analyzed using the simpler one-dimensional (1D) element model with fewer degrees of freedom. An Element-Coupling model was proposed to couple the small scale solid 3D elements with the large scale 1D beam elements. The mixed dimensional coupling is performed imposing the kinematic coupling hypothesis of the 1D model on the interfaces of the 3D model. The analysis results are compared with test results of a reinforced concrete pipe column and a structure consisting of reinforced concrete columns and a steel space truss subjected to static and dynamic loading. This structure is a reduced scale model of a direct air-cooled condenser support platform built in a thermal power plant. The reduction scale for the column as well as for the structure was 1:8. The same structures are also analyzed using 3D solid elements for the entire structure to demonstrate the validity of the Element-Coupling model. A comparison of the accuracy and the computational effort indicates that by the proposed Element-Coupling method the accuracy is almost the same but the computational effort is significantly reduced.
