Growth and photosynthetic responses of one $C_3$ and two $C_4$ plants in the family Chenopodiaceae in three $CO_2$ concentration $([CO_2])$ conditions-low (about $243{\mu}mol\;mol^{-1}$, LC), present (about 378, PC), and high (about 465, HC)-were investigated in open top chambers. The relative growth rate (RGR) and net assimilation rate in the $C_3$ plant, Chenopodium album, increased with increasing $[CO_2]$, though the RGR was not enhanced significantly in the HC condition. The leaf area ratio and leaf weight ratio of the $C_3$ plant drastically decreased with increasing $[CO_2]$, suggesting that the $C_3$ plant invests more biomass to leaves in lower $[CO_2]$ conditions. The two $C_4$ plants, Atriplex glauca and A. lentiformis, showed relatively small changes in those growth parameters. These photosynthetic-pathway-dependent responses suggest that growth patterns of $C_3$ and $C_4$ plants have been altered by past increases in atmospheric $[CO_2]$ but that there will be relatively little further alteration in the future high-$CO_2$ world.

In this study, the electrochemical impedance characteristics of CO₂/H₂O co-reduction to produce CO/H₂ syngas were investigated in a low-temperature single cell. The effect of the operating conditions on the single-cell performance was evaluated at different feed concentrations and cell voltages, and the corresponding electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) data were collected and analyzed. The Nyquist plots exhibited two semicircles with separated characteristic frequencies of approximately 1 kHz and tens of Hz. The high-frequency semicircles, which depend only on the catholyte concentration, could be correlated to the charge transfer processes in competitive CO₂ reduction and hydrogen evolution reactions at the cathodes. The EIS characteristics of the CO₂/H₂O co-reduction single cell could be explained by the equivalent circuit suggested in this study. In this circuit, the cathodic mass transfer and anodic charge transfer processes are collectively represented by a parallel combination of resistance and a constant phase element to show low-frequency semicircles. Through nonlinear fitting using the equivalent circuit, the parameters for each electrochemical element, such as polarization resistances for high- and low-frequency processes, could be quantified as functions of feed concentration and cell voltage.

본 연구에서는 입자크기 및 밀도가 비교적 작고 소화효과에 있어서 부촉매효과를 나타내는 다공성 흡착제인 합성제올라이트에 $K_2CO_3$를 중량비에 따라 흡착시킨 구조체의 소화농도를 측정하였다. 그리고 구조적 특성을 파악하고자 주사전자 현미경(SEM)의 측정 및 X-Ray 회절분석, 열분석 등을 실시하였다. 흡착구조체의 소화농도실험에서 중량비에 관계없이 순수 $K_2CO_3$의 소화농도보다 모두 낮게 나타났다. 그리고, 특히 $K_2CO_3$와 합성제올라이트의 중량비가 7 : 3인 경우는 소화농도가 5.72배 낮게 측정되었고 ABC분말소화약제보다 약 1.1배 낮게 나타났다. SEM 사진 및 XRD 회절패턴분석을 통해 $K_2CO_3$가 합성제올라이트에 흡착되었다는 것을 알 수 있었고, 열분석을 통해 흡착구조체가 순수 $K_2CO_3$보다 소화에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤을 것이라 추정할 수 있었다.

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 Ni-MH batteries for HEV and industry are normally placed in outdoor, consequently causing an too weak discharge power problem due to a cold weather specially in winter time. In order to improve the low temperature performances of the Ni-MH battery for HEV and industrial uses, it has been investigated the low temperature discharge characteristics of Ni-MH battery with various electrolytes at $-18^{\circ}C$. The summary of experimental results are as follows. The low temperature characteristics depended strongly on the characteristics of electrolytes. When the concentration of the electrolytes were too high or too low the low temperature performance was poor. The best electrolyte was composed of KOH 6.2M+LiOH 1.2M. An addition of RbOH or CsOH to electrolyte improved the low temperature performance. The best total concentration of electrolyte composed of KOH, NaOH and LiOH was about 7M.

In this study, $CO_2$ adsorbent was produced for minimizing energy loss due to ventilation within the building. For improved selectivity about low concentration of $CO_2$ in multiple-use facilities, the ball type adsorbent was modified from a commercial zeolite, alumina, alkali metals and activated carbon with mixing LiOH, binder, and $H_2O$. We measured specific surface area, pore characteristic, and crystal structure of the modified adsorbent. Effects of alkalization on the absorptive properties of the adsorbents were investigated. Continuous column tests (2,000 ppm) and batch chamber tests ($4m^3$, 5,000ppm) showed that the modified adsorbent indicated about the selectivity of $CO_2$ more than 9.7% (0.613 mmol/g) compared with ordinary adsorbents and $CO_2$ removal efficiency of 88.8% within l hour, respectively. It was estimated that the modified adsorbent was applicable to indoor environments.

선박 기관실의 고정식 소화장치로 사용되는 $CO_2 $ 소화장치의 소화효과에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 인자 중 분사노즐위치를 변화시켜 이산화탄소 소화제 전달특성에 대한 전산모이실험을 3차원 비정상상태로 수행하였다. 노즐위치에 따라 유동장과 $CO_2$ 소화제 농도장을 계산하였다 소화제 분사노즐을 공간의 천장 중앙에 매치 한 경우, 천장에 형성되는 대칭 천장 제트가 대칭면에서 서로 부딪혀 저농도 하향 유동을 발생시켜 분사주위에는 규정농도 이하의 농도분포를 형성시킨다. 벽의 모서리에서는 소화제질량전달이 촉진되는 경향으로 인해 농도곡선은 모서리 부근에서 피크를 나타낸다.

초정지역에서 산출되는 탄산수에 대한 수리화학적 연구를 수행하였다. 초정탄산수는 낮은 pH(5.0~5.8). 높은 이산화탄소함량($Pco_2$＜$10^{0.31}$atm). 높은 TDS 함량을 갖는 것으로 특징되며. 화학적으로 Ca-$HCO_3$형에 속한다. 탄산수의 화학적특성은 지하수가 심부로 순환하는 과정에서 심부기원의 이산화탄소와의 반응을 통하여 탄산수가 형성되었음을 지시하며. 낮은 pH를 갖는 탄산수는 물-암석(화강암) 반응이 활발히 진행되면서 지화학적으로 진화된 것으로 판단된다. 또한 높은 $NO_3$함량은 탄산수가 천부로 상승되는 과정에서 주변지하수와 혼합된 특성을 지시한다. 초정 탄산수의 진화과정은 이산화탄소의 공급. 물-암석반응 및 혼합작용으로 설명할 수 있다. 이러한 진화과정을 열역화적으로 확인하고자 지화학 반응을 PHREEQC를 이용하여 모델링하였다. 비록 모델링은 사장석자의 반응에 국한되었지만. 탄산수의 진화과정에서 pH 및 Ca와 Na함량 변화양상에 대한 타당한 설명을 제시하고 있다.

To check the feasibility of SMART(Steam Methane Advanced Reforming Technology) system, an experimental investigation was performed. A fluidized bed reactor of diameter 0.052m was operated cyclically up to 10th cycle, alternating between reforming and regeneration conditions. FCR-4 catalyst was used as the reforming catalyst and calcined limestone(domestic, from Danyang) was used as the $CO_2$ absorbent. Hydrogen concentration of 98.2% on a dry basis was reached at $650^{\circ}C$ for the first cycle. This value is much higher than $H_2$ concentration of 73.6% in the reformer of conventional SMR (steam methane reforming) condition. The hydrogen concentration decreased because the $CO_2$ capture capacity decreased as the number of cycles increased. However, the average hydrogen concentration at 10th cycle was 82.5% and this value is also higher than that of SMR. Based on these results, we could conclude that the SMART system can replace SMR system to generate pure hydrogen without HTS (high tempeature shift), LTS (low temperature shift) and $CO_2$ separation process.
