메탄의 부분산화반응은 수소 제조의 중요한 반응 중의 하나이다. 무전해 도금방법에 의해 제조된 팔라듐-은 막을 막반응기(membrane reactor)로서 메탄의 부분산화반응에 적용하여 반응온도, $O_2/CH_4$ 몰비, $CH_4$ 공급속도, $N_2$ 운반 가스 흐름속도 등의 변화에 따라 실험을 수행하였다. 막반응기의 메탄 전환율은 알루미나에 담지된 니켈 촉매를 사용하는 반응조건하에서 $350{\sim}730^{\circ}C$의 반응온도에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 특히 $730^{\circ}C$와 $O_2/CH_4$ 몰비 0.5에서 메탄 전환율과 CO 선택도가 가장 높았다. 막반응기의 메탄 전환율은 전통적인 관형반응기와 비교한 결과 반응조건에 따라 10~40% 정도 높았다.

A flooded rice field is one of the significant sources of anthropogenic methane (CH₄) with the intensity of the emissions dependent on management practices. Incorporation of rice straw, which is one of the organic amendments, induces the increase of methane emissions during the flooding season. In this study, we measured of methane emission according to applications of rice straw in different soil textures during a cultivation period in 2017 and 2018. The fallow treatments were non application of rice straw (NA), spring plowing after spring spreading of rice straw (SPSA), spring plowing after previous autumn spreading of rice straw (SPAA), and autumn plowing after previous autumn spreading of rice straw (APAA). The SPSA treatment emitted the highest total methane from loam soil in both 2017 (596.7 CH₄ kg ha^-1) and 2018 (795.4 CH₄ kg ha^-1). The same trend was observed in silt clay loam soil; the SPSA treatment still emitted the highest amount of methane in both 2017 (845.9 CH₄ kg ha^-1) and 2018 (1,071.7 CH₄ kg ha^-1). The lowest emission among the rice straw incorporated plots came from the APAA treatment for both soil texture types in all the seasons. The conversion factors of the SPAA were 0.79 and 0.65 from the loam and silt clay loam soils, respectively. Relatedly, the conversion factors of the APAA were 0.71 and 0.43 from the loam and silt clay loam soils, respectively. The above observations mean therefore that incorporation of rice straw early in the fallow reduces methane emissions in the main rice growing season.

Ni catalyst (Ni: 15 wt%) supported on precalcined SiO2 has been investigated in reforming reactions of methane to synthesis gas. The catalyst exhibited fairly good activity and stability in partial oxidation of methane (POM), whereas it deactivated in steam reforming of methane (SRM). Pulse reaction results of CH4, O2, and CH4/O2 revealed that Ni/SiO2 has high capability to dissociate methane. The results also revealed that both CH4 and O2 are activated on the surface of metallic Ni, and then surface carbon species react with adsorbed oxygen to produce CO and CO2 depending on the bond strength of the oxygen species on the catalyst surface.

We report here that under strong attacksof external $CH_4$ guest molecules the sII and sH methane hydrates are structurally transformed to the crystalline me framework of sI, leading to favorable change of the lattice dimension of the host-guest networks. The High Power Decoupling $^{13}C$ NMR and Raman spectroscopies were used to identify structure transitions of the mixed $CH_4+C_2H_6$ hydrates (sIIl) and hydrocarbons (methylcyclohexane, isopentane) + $CH_4$ hydrates (sH). The resulting spectra indicate that most of the synthesized sII and sH hydrates were transformed to methane hydrate of sl under 110 bar and particularly the coexistence of sl with sII or sH appear according to the surrounding methane-rich gas conditions. The present findings might be expected to Provide rational evidences regarding the preponderant occurrence of naturally-occurring sI methane hydrates in marine sediments.

BACKGROUND: Methane ($CH_4$) emission is calculated using the default $CH_4$ emission factor as recommended by the International Panel on Climate Change(IPCC guidelines). However, the default emission factor has been derived using including the data from other countries having different soil and environmental conditions and may not reflect the real $CH_4$ emission rates in Korea. The objective of this study was to estimate the baseline emission factor of $CH_4$ in Korean paddy soils during rice cultivation. METHODS AND RESULTS: Methane emission patterns were characterized in four different paddy soils across country for a consecutive 3 years during the rice cultivation period. Rice plants were cultivated under continuous flooding and fertilized using the recommended chemical fertilization in Korea ($N-P_2O_5-K_2O$=90-45-57kg/ha). The mean $CH_4$ emission rate was 2.32 kg $CH_4$/ha/day and the uncertainty of the investigated data was 21.7%, with a valuable error range at 1.82-2.82 kg $CH_4$/ha/day with a 95% confidence interval. CONCLUSION(S): Conclusively, the Korean paddy soils' baseline emission factor of $CH_4$ is approximately 2.32 kg $CH_4$/ha/day and can be used to estimate the $CH_4$ emissions more exactly.

논 토양에서 벼 품종간 $CH_4$ 배출과 근 분비물 특성 등을 검토한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 중만생종에 비하여 조생종의 $CH_4$ 배출이 적은 경향이었으며 자포니카 형보다는 통일형의 $CH_4$ 배출이 적은 경향이었다. 2. $CH_4$ 배출과 분얼수 및 근중과는 유의성이 인정되었으며 상관계수는 분얼수보다 근중에서 높은 경향이었고, 유수형성기 및 출수기에 $CH_4$ 배출이 많았다. 3. 토양용액중 $CH_4$ 함량은 계화벼가 가장 높았으며 다른 품종들은 비슷한 경향이었는데 이는 근권 산화력에 크게 좌우되었던 것으로 생각된다. 4. 뿌리에서 분비된 탄수화물류는 이앙 40일을 기준으로 조생종인 남원벼가 $1,306{\mu}g\;l^{-1}day^{-1}$, 중만생종이 $283{\mu}g\;l^{-1}day^{-1}$ 통일형인 풍산벼가 $984{\mu}g\;l^{-1}day^{-1}$를 분비하였다.

$Ni/CeO_2-ZrO_2$ 촉매를 이용하여 수소 제조를 위한 메탄의 자열개질반응 특성을 조사하였다. 메탄의 자열개질반응에서 촉매의 활성과 안정성을 향상시키기 위해 알루미나가 코팅된 금속 모노리스를 사용하였으며, 금속모노리스 촉매체는 높은 반응온도에서 분말형태의 촉매에 비해 높은 메탄 전환율을 나타내었다. 자열개질반응에 있어서 $H_2O/CH_4/O_2$의 비는 전환율에 영향을 미치는 중요한 변수임을 알 수 있었다. $H_2O/CH_4$ 비가 증가함에 따라 수소 수율은 증가되고, 또한 $O_2/CH_4$ 비가 증가함에 따라 메탄 전환율은 증가하지만 수소 수율은 감소하였다. $Ni/CeO_2-ZrO_2$ 촉매에 0.5 wt%의 귀금속 촉매인 Ru 첨가로 인해 낮은 반응온도에서 촉매 활성이 향상되었다.

Anaerobic biodegradability (AB), which can be determined with the ultimate methane yield by the decomposition of organic materials, is one of the important parameters for the design and the operation of anaerobic digestion plant. In this study, Biochemical methane potential (BMP) test has been carried out to evaluate the methane yields of animal manures such as pig and cattle slurries, and different forage crops cultivated at the reclaimed tideland such as maize, sorghum, barley, rye, Italian ryegrass (IRG), rape, rush, and waste sludge produced from slaughterhouse wastewater treatment plant (SSWTP). In the ultimate methane yield and biodegradability of animal manure, those of pig slurry were 345 $mlCH_4/gVS_{fed}$ and 44.7% higher than 247 $mlCH_4/gVS_{fed}$ and 46.4% of cattle slurry (Cat. 2). The ultimate methane yield and biodegradability of spike-crop rye (Rye 1) were 442.36 $mlCH_4/gVS_{fed}$ and 86.5% the highest among different forage crops, those of the other forage crops ranged from 306.6 to 379 $mlCH_4/gVS_{fed}$ of methane yield with the AB having the range of about 60 to 77%. Therefore the forage crops could be used as a good substrate to increase the methane production and to improve the biodegradability in anaerobic co-digestion together with animal manure.

Low temperature methane steam reforming to produce $H_2$ for fuel cells has been calculated thermodynamically considering both heat loss of the reformer and unreacted $H_2$ in fuel cell stack. According to the thermodynamic equilibrium analysis, it is possible to operate methane steam reforming at low temperatures. A scheme for the low temperature methane steam reforming to produce $H_2$ for fuel cells by burning both unconverted $CH_4$ and $H_2$ to supply the heat for steam methane reforming has been proposed. The calculated value of the heat balance temperature is strongly dependent upon the amount of unreacted $H_2$ and heat loss of the reformer. If unreacted $H_2$ increases, less methane is required because unreacted $H_2$ can be burned to supply the heat. As a consequence, it is suitable to increase the reaction temperature for getting higher $CH_4$ conversion and more $H_2$ for fuel cell stack. If heat loss increases from the reformer, it is necessary to supply more heat for the endothermic methane steam reforming reaction from burning unconverted $CH_4$, resulting in decreasing the reforming temperature. Experimentally, it has been confirmed that low temperature methane steam reforming is possible with stable activity.

In this study, methane production by reuse of screened soil of landfill was estimated and the effect of application of landfarming for the reduction of methane was investigated. The study soil sampled from S closed landfill contains VS 9.8~12.8% and its BOD/COD is 0.31~0.33 which is more than three times over 0.1, the BOD/COD stabilization criteria of Ministry of Environment. The effective remediation technology for the reduction of organics of soil, landfarming was applied to the screened soil for 60 days. VS and TPH removal showed 5.2~8.3% and 67~74% respectively, and the reduction of VS until 30 day charged 70% of the total reduction. BMP test showed 27.77~30.46 mL $CH_4$/g VS and total methane production from total screened soil for remediation is expected about 260.4 $CH_4$ ton. Expected amount of methane production of the screened soil by landfarming application is 12.9 $CH_4$ ton, which shows 95% gas reduction effect and landfarming is effective for the reduction of methane production from screened soil of landfill.
