Hydrate phase equilibrium for the binary CO2+water and CH4+water mixtures in silica gel pore of nominal 6, 30, and 100 nm were measured and compared with the cacluated results based on van der Waals and Platteeuw model. At a specific temperature three-phase hydrate-water-vapor (HLV) equilibrium curves for pore hydrates were shifted to the higher-pressure condition depending on pore sizes when compared with those of bulk hydrates. Notably, hydrate phase equilibria for the case of 100 nominal urn pore size were nealy identical with those of bulk hydrates. The activities of water in porous silica gels were modified to account for capillary effect, and the calculation results were generally in good agreement with the experimental data.

Hydrate phase equilibrium for the binary $CO_{2}$+water and $CH_{4}$+water mixtures in silica gel pore of nominal 6, 30, and 100 nm were measured and compared with the cacluated results based on van der Waals and Platteeuw model. At a specific temperature three-phase hydrate-water-vapor (HLV) equilibrium curves for pore hydrates were shifted to the higher-pressure condition depending on pore sizes when compared with those of bulk hydrates. Notably, hydrate phase equilibria for the case of 100 nominal nm pore size were nearly identical with those of bulk hydrates. The activities of water in porous silica gels were modified to account for capillary effect, and the calculation results were generally in good agreement with the experimental data.

우리나라에서 시행되고 있는 '온실가스 에너지 목표관리제'의 효율적인 운영을 통하여 실질적인 온실가스 배출을 감축하고 향후 예정되어 있는 '탄소배출권 거래제'의 원활한 추진을 위해서는 온실가스배출량의 정확한 산정이 요구된다. 폐기물부문에서 주요 온실가스배출원인 폐기물 매립시설에 대해서도 목표관리제 운영지침에서 온실가스배출량 산정방법이 제시되어 있으나 계산방법과 매개변수 등에 오차요인이 있어 적정 산정방법에 대해 검토 제안하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 메탄회수율 0.75를 기준으로 산정방법을 구분하고 그 단일값과 메탄회수량으로부터 메탄발생량을 계산하는 방법은 삭제하여 온실가스배출량 산정과정의 중복적용과 과대평가 발생요인을 해소할 필요가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 메탄발생량은 일차분해모델로 추정하고 메탄회수량은 매립시설에서 측정한 값을 사용하도록 하되 과거 메탄회수량 데이터를 확보하기 곤란한 경우에는 메탄회수량을 산정할 수 있도록 일일복토나 중간복토가 포설된 사용중 매립시설에서는 가스배제공과 간이소각 0.60, 강제포집 시스템 0.65로, 최종복토가 이루어진 사용종료 매립시설은 자연적인 포집이나 강제포집이 수행되면 0.90으로 국내 매립시설에 적합한 조건별 메탄회수율 기준값을 제시하였다. 주요 매개변수 중 분해 가능한 유기탄소 비율(DOC)과 메탄으로 전환 가능한 DOC 비율($DOC_f$)은 국내 폐기물의 조성별 특성을 반영할 수 있도록 국내 연구결과를 이용하여 기준값을 도출하여 사용할 수 있으며, 메탄보정계수(MCF)는 매립시설의 설계나 설치 등의 단순한 기준으로 판단할 수 없으므로 명확한 기준이 요구되는 것으로 나타났다.

Greenhouse gas emissions have a profound effect on global warming. Various environmental regulations have been introduced to reduce the emissions. The largest amount of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, is produced in the steel industry. To decrease carbon dioxide emission, hydrogen-based iron oxide reduction, which can replace carbon-based reduction has received a great attention. Iron production generates various by-product gases, such as cokes oven gas (COG), blast furnace gas (BFG), and Linz-Donawitz gas (LDG). In particular, COG, due to its high concentrations of hydrogen and methane, can be reformed to become a major source of hydrogen for reducing iron oxide. Nevertheless, continuous COG cannot be supplied under actual operation condition of steel industry. To solve this problem, this study proposed to use two alternative COG-based fuel mixtures; one with natural gas and the other with biogas. Reforming study on two types of mixed gas were carried out to evaluate catalyst performance under a variety of operating conditions. In addition, methane conversion and product composition were investigated both theoretically and experimentally.

혐기성 소화는 음식물 쓰레기와 같은 폐기물로부터 재생 가능한 에너지원으로 메탄을 생성하는 공정이다. 본 연구에서는 음식물 쓰레기와 폐수를 동시에 처리하는 3단계 메탄생산 공정을 이용한 혐기성 소화공정의 bacteria와 archaea 군집 변화를 조사하였다. 3단계 메탄생산 공정은 음식물 쓰레기 및 폐수를 메탄과 이산화탄소로 전환하는 반혐기성 가수분해/산생성, 혐기성 산생성과 혐기성 메탄생성조로 구성되어있으며, 16 rRNA 유전자 라이브러리의 염기서열 분석과 정량 PCR 등의 분자생물학적 방법으로 주요 미생물 군집을 조사하였다. 메탄생산 공정의 주요 미생물 군집은 VFA-산화 박테리아와 Methanoculleus 속에 속하는 hydrogenotrophic methanogen의 두 종(species)이었다. 또한, 소수의 Picrophilaceae 과(Thermoplasmatales 목)의 archaea도 확인하였다. 음식물을 이용한 3단계 메탄생산 공정은 acetogenesis를 기반으로 하는 고전적 메탄생성 공정과 달리 주로 hydrogenotrophic methanogen의 분해 경로에 의해 이루어 짐을 알 수 있다. 이들 균주의 우점은 중온 소화공정, 중성 pH, 높은 암모니아 농도, 짧은 HRT, Tepidanaerobacter 속 등과 같은 VFA 산화세균과의 상호작용 등에서 기인한 것으로 생각된다.

The properties of methane oxidation were studied in this research over transition metal containing $CeO_2$ (TM/$CeO_2$, TM=Ni, Co, Cu, Fe) with TM content of 5 wt. % at atmospheric pressure. The characteristics of catalysts were investigated by various characterization techniques, including XRD, GC, SEM and EPMA analyses. The catalytic tests were carried out in a fixed Rmix ratio of 1.5 ($CH_4/O_2$) in a fixed-bed reactor operating isothermally at atmospheric pressure. Only the Ni/$CeO_2$ catalysts showed syngas production above $400^{\circ}C$ via typical partial oxidation reaction whereas other catalysts induced complete oxidation resulting in the production of $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ in whole reaction temperature range. From the quantitative analysis on carbon deposition after catalytic tests, Cu/$CeO_2$ was found to show the highest resistance on carbon deposition. Therefore Cu can be proposed as an efficient catalyst element which can be combined with a conventional Ni-based SOFC anode to enhance the carbon tolerance.

The promotion effects of noble metals upon the activity and reducibility in steam methane reforming over $Ni/MgAl_2O_4$ catalysts were investigated. While $Ni/MgAl_2O_4$ catalysts require the pre-reduction by $H_2$, the noble metal-added catalysts show high catalytic activities without pre-treatment. According to $CH_4$-TPR, the addition of noble metal makes the $Ni/MgAl_2O_4$ catalyst easily reducible. The reduction degree of NiO in the noble metal-added catalysts after using at $650^{\circ}C$ without pre-reduction was $15{\sim}20%$, and was lower than that in the $H_2$-reduced $Ni/MgAl_2O_4$ catalyst(reduction degree=27%). The enhancement of the catalytic activity over noble metal-added catalysts results from easier reducibility by addition of noble metal and the synergy effect between noble metal and Ni.

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.

Hydrogen production can be classified based on the energy source, primary reactor type, and whether or not it emits carbon dioxide. Utilizing color representation proves to be an effective means of expressing these distinctive characteristics. Among the various clean hydrogen production techniques, there has been a growing interest in turquoise hydrogen production, which involves the decomposition of methane or other fossil fuels. This method offers advantages in terms of large-scale production and cost reduction through the sale of solid-carbon byproduct. In this study, an extensive literature review was conducted to select and analyze several promising candidates for turquoise hydrogen production processes. The efficiency and economics of these processes were evaluated using stream data reported in the literature sources. The findings indicate that the levelized cost of hydrogen production (LCOH) is significantly influenced by the sales of byproducts, specifically the solid-carbon and carbon monoxide byproducts.

석탄층 메탄가스(coalbed methane; CBM)를 개발하는데 있어서 생산성과 경제성을 좌우하는 절대투과도(absolute permeability)를 산출하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 절대투과도를 측정하는 방법에는 코어분석(core analysis)과 유정생산 시험(well test) 등이 있다. 하지만 코어분석을 통해 도출된 절대투과도는 CBM 저류층을 대표할 수 없기에 일반적으로 유정생산시험을 통해 절대투과도가 산출된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 CBM 저류층에 적용 가능한 유정생산시험을 분류하고 각 시험기법별 특성 및 장 단점을 분석하였다. 이를 기반으로 유정생산시험 설계 및 수행절차를 수립하였으며, 유정생산시험 수행 후 취득된 자료를 통해 절대투과도와 손상지수(skin factor)와 같은 저류층 물성을 도출하기 위한 자료해석 절차를 제시하였다.
