Photoreduction of $CO_2$ into hydrocarbon fuels on the surface of photocatalyst is one of the breakthroughs in the field of photocatalysis. At present various approaches have been investigated with the aim of increasing the $CO_2$ conversion efficiency. The reactor for photoconversion of $CO_2$ plays a vital role in experimental setup. In this work an attempt was made to testify a newly designed the photoreactor for conversion of $CO_2$ into useful products. The photoreactor was specifically designed for simple operation bearing features of temperature and pressure control. The reactor has been tested successively with the standard titania, Degussa P25 yielding methane with moderate production rate of 30.8 $ppm{\cdot}g^{-1}{\cdot}h^{-1}$ under UV lamp with 365 nm wavelength. The methane yield obtained is comparable to the values reported in literature. Thus we anticipate that this experimental setup equipped with newly designed photoreactor can yield competitive amounts of fuels from $CO_2$ photoredcution via 365 nm UV light illumination on various photocatalysts.

During the 11 year period of 1995-2005, there was about a 40% increase in the world copper demand mainly because of the Asian economic growth. In the increase, about a half was consumed by China. Most of the China's copper demand increase has been taken place over the final 5-6 years of that period. The growth is expected to continue for several years, and in 10 years or sooner the same situation is expected for India. Copper is the third metal in global demand, but its little abundance in the Earth's crust is not well recognized. From the production rate and the abundance, a copper shortage, or crisis, has a high probability than the other metals. Deep ocean mineral resources such as manganese nodules in the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zones, Kuroko-type massive seafloor sulfides (SMS), and cobalt-rich manganese crusts in the EEZ and the high sea areas have big potentials for the future sources. We need to re-evaluate their potentials as copper resources and other metals to realize their developments. The same situation is under progress in the hydro-carbon markets. Methane hydrates that are classified into non-conventional hydro-carbon resources have an important role as the future sources, too.

This paper proposes using sodium-cooled fast reactor technologies for use in hydrogen vapor methane (SMR) modification. Using three independent energy rings in the Russian BN-600 fast reactor, steam is generated in one of the steam-generating cycles with a pressure of 13.1 MPa and a temperature of 505 ℃. The reactor's second energy cycles can increase the gas-steam mixture's temperature to the required amount for efficient correction. The 620 ton/hr 540 ℃ steam generated in this cycle is sufficient to supply a high-temperature synthesis current source (700 ℃), which raises the steam-gas mixture's temperature in the reactor. The proposed technology provides a high rate of hydrogen production (approximately 144.5 ton/hr of standard H₂), also up to 25% of the original natural gas, in line with existing SMR technology for preparing and heating steam and gas mixtures will be saved. Also, exergy analysis results show that the plant's efficiency reaches 78.5% using HTR heat for combined hydrogen and power generation.

In coal mining activities, the abutment stress of the coal has to undergo cyclic loading and unloading, affecting the strength and seepage characteristics of coal; additionally, it can cause dynamic disasters, posing a major challenge for the safety of coal mine production. To improve the understanding of the dynamic disaster mechanism of gas outburst and rock burst coupling, triaxial devices are applied to axial pressure cyclic loading-unloading tests under different axial stress peaks and different pore pressures. The existing empirical formula is use to perform a non-linear regression fitting on the relationship between stress and permeability, and the damage rate of permeability is introduced to analyze the change in permeability. The results show that the permeability curve obtained had "memory", and the peak stress was lower than the conventional loading path. The permeability curve and the volume strain curve show a clear symmetrical relationship, being the former in the form of a negative power function. Owing to the influence of irreversible deformation, the permeability difference and the damage of permeability mainly occur in the initial stage of loading-unloading, and both decrease as the number of cycles of loading-unloading increase. At the end of the first cycle and the second cycle, the permeability decreased in the range of 5.777 - 8.421 % and 4.311-8.713 %, respectively. The permeability decreases with an increase in the axial stress peak, and the damage rate shows the opposite trend. Under the same conditions, the permeability of methane is always lower than that of helium, and it shows a V-shape change trend with increasing methane pressures, and the permeability of the specimen was 3 MPa > 1 MPa > 2 MPa.

Interaction of flames in a lean-rich concentration field is studied numerically adopting a counterflow as a model problem. Detailed kinetic mechanism is adopted in analyzing the structure of various type of flames which can be found in lean-rich interaction. Flow field is simplified to quasi one-dimensional by using boundary layer approximation and similarity formulation. Triple flames are identified and its structure shows that a diffusion flame is located in the middle of two premixed flames. Such a diffusion flame is formed by $H_2$ and CO generated from the rich premixed flame and $O_2$ leaked from the lean premixed flame. The flame position can be identified either from the hydrogen production rate or the heat release rate. Transition from single diffusion flame to triple flame is observed as degree of premixing is increased.

As the impacts of global climate change become increasingly apparent, the reduction of carbon emissions has emerged as a critical subject of discussion. Nuclear power has garnered attention as a potential carbon-free energy source; however, the rapidity of load following in nuclear power generation poses challenges in comparison to fossil-fueled methods. Consequently, power-to-gas systems, which integrate nuclear power and hydrogen, have attracted growing interest. This study presents a preliminary design of a very high temperature reactor (VHTR) integrated blue hydrogen production process utilizing DWSIM, an open-source process simulator. The blue hydrogen production process is estimated to supply the necessary calorific value for carbon capture through tail gas combustion heat. Moreover, a thermodynamic assessment of the main recuperator is performed as a function of the helium flow rate from the VHTR system to the blue hydrogen production system.

상온조건($25^{\circ}C$)에서 하수슬러지처리를 위한 생물전기화학 혐기성소화조의 성능에 미치는 제2철 이온($Fe^{+3}$)의 영향을 연구하였다. 생물전기화학 혐기성소화조를 상온에서 운전하였을 때 pH, 알카리도, COD 및 VFAs 등의 상태변수들은 안정하였으며, VS 제거율과 비메탄발생율은 각각 65.9% 및 370 mL/L/d이었다. 생물전기화학 혐기성소화조에 제2철 이온(200 ppm)을 주입한 후 상태변수들의 안정도는 더욱 향상되었으며, VS 제거율 및 비메탄발생량은 각각 69.8%, 396 mL/L/d로 증가하였다. 그러나, 제2철 이온을 주입 이후에 바이오가스의 메탄함량은 76.6%로 주입 이전의 77.3%에서 비하여 약간 감소하였다. 부유슬러지의 미생물 군집을 변화를 분석한 결과 공생 혐기성미생물(Cloacamonas) 및 가수분해균(Saprospiraceae, Ottowia pentelensis) 등의 우점균의 비율이 제2철 이온의 주입으로 증가하였다. 이것은 철이온의 주입으로 부유혐기성미생물(planktonic anaerobic bacteria, PAB)의 활성이 증가하였음을 나타낸다. 제2철 이온은 상온조건에서 하수슬러지처리를 위한생물전기화학 혐기성소화조의 성능을 향상시킨다.

본 연구에서는 하수 슬러지를 대상으로 단상 고온($55^{\circ}C$)과 중온($35^{\circ}C$) 혐기성 소화조의 안정성, 고형물 제거 및 메탄생성을 관찰하였다. 실험 결과 별도의 pH 조절 없이 고온($R_{TAD}$, reactor of thermophilic anaerobic digestion) 및 중온 ($R_{MAD}$, reactor of mesophilic anaerobic digestion) 소화조 내 pH의 경우 혐기 소화 시 안정적인 미생물 활성을 나타낸다고 알려진 6.5-8.0 사이의 값을 소화 기간 내내 유지하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한, total alkalinity (TA)의 경우 $R_{TAD}$ 및 $R_{MAD}$ 모두 3-4 g $CaCO_3/L$의 높은 값을 안정적으로 유지하였다. 고형물 제거의 경우 순응 기간 후 $R_{TAD}$에서 43.3%, $R_{MAD}$에서 33.6%의 VS 제거율을 보이며 $R_{TAD}$에서 약 10% 높은 VS 제거율은 제거율을 보였다. 유기산의 경우 $R_{TAD}$ 및 $R_{MAD}$에서 순응 기간 직후 검출되지 않았다. $R_{TAD}$ 및 $R_{MAD}$ 모두 순응 기간 후 안정적인 메탄 생성을 보였으며, $R_{TAD}$에서 $R_{MAD}$에 비해 31.4% 향상된 메탄 생성률이 관찰되었다($R_{TAD}$; 243 mL $CH_4/L/d$; $R_{MAD}$ : 185 mL $CH_4/L/d$). 반면, 두소화조 $R_{TAD}$ 및 $R_{MAD}$에서의 메탄 수율은 유사한 값을 보였다.

전자공여체로 벤조산염을 이용한 perchloroethene(PCE)의 환원성 탈염소화 과정에서 전자공여체의 첨가량 및 초기 미생물 식종량이 탈염소화에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 회분식 실험을 수행하였다. 벤조산염이 탈염소화를 위한 양론비 이하(전자공여체/수용체 비=0.5와 1)로 첨가된 경우 탈염소화 효율은 벤조산염 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 71%에서 94.3%로 증가하였으나, 탈염소화에 이용된 전자공여체의 분율은 92.7%에서 79.6%로 감소하였다. 메탄생성은 PCE와 trichloroethene(TCE)가 모두 cis-1,2-dichloroethene(cDCE)으로 전환된 후 문턱농도(threshold value, 10 nM) 이상으로 수소농도가 유지되는 동안 진행되었다. 벤조산염이 양론비 이상으로 첨가된 경우 탈염소화 완료 후 잔존하는 수소는 메탄생성량을 증가시켰다. 식종 미생물량의 증가는 지체기를 감소시켰지만 최대 탈염소화 속도는 벤조산염 분해 속도에 의해 결정되어 식종 미생물량에 큰 영향을 받지 않았다. 식종 미생물 농도가 높은 경우 초기 활발한 탈염소화로 인하여 메탄생성량은 감소하고, 탈염소화 효율은 증가하였다.
