Due to the depletion of fossil fuels and environmental pollution, demand for alternative energy is gradually increasing. Among the various methods, a method to convert biomass into alternative fuel has been proposed. The bio-fuel obtained from biomass through pyrolysis process is called pyrolysis oil (PO) or bio-oil. Because PO is difficult to use directly in conventional engines due to its poor fuel properties, various methods have been proposed to upgrade pyrolysis-oil. The simplest approach is to mix it with conventional fossil fuels. However, due to their different polarity of PO and fossil fuel, direct mixing is impossible. To resolve this problem, emulsification of two fuels with a proper surfactant was proposed, but it costs additional time and cost. Alternatively, the use of alcohol fuels as an organic solvent significantly improve the fuel properties such as fuel stability, calorific value and viscosity. In this study, blends of diesel, n-butanol, and coffee ground pyrolysis oil (CGPO) which is one of the promising PO, was applied to diesel generator. Combustion and emissions characteristics of blended fuels were investigated under the entire load range. Experimental results show that ignition delay is similar to that of diesel at high load. Although, hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions are comparable to diesel, significant reduction of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter emissions were observed.

In order to maximize the utilization of sewage sludge, a waste from wastewater treatment facility, the residual sewage sludge generated after lipid and carbohydrate extraction for biodiesel and bioethanol production was used to produce bio-oil by pyrolysis. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that sludge pyrolysis mainly occurred between 200 and $550^{\circ}C$ (with peaks formed around 337.0 and $379.3^{\circ}C$) with the decomposition of the main components (carbohydrate, lipid, and protein). Bio-oil was produced using a micro-tubing reactor, and its yield (wt%, g-bio-oil/g-residual sewage sludge) increased with an increase in the reaction temperature and time. The maximum bio-oil yield of 33.3% was obtained after pyrolysis at $390^{\circ}C$ for 5 min, where the largest amount of energy was introduced into the reactor to break the bonds of organic compounds in the sludge. The main components of bio-oil were found to be trans-2-pentenoic acid and 2-methyl-2-pentenoic acid with the highest selectivity of 28.4% and 12.3%, respectively. The kinetic rate constants indicated that the predominant reaction pathway was sewage sludge to bio-oil ($0.1054min^{-1}$), and subsequently to gas ($0.0541min^{-1}$), rather than the direct conversion of sewage sludge to gas ($0.0318min^{-1}$).

Pyrolysis of polypropylene(PP) Was performed to find the effects of the pyrolysis temperature(425, 450, 475 and $500^{\circ}C$) and the pyrolysis time(35, 50 and 65minutes), respectively. Conversion and liquid yield obtained during PP pyrolysis continuously increased with the pyrolysis temperature( up to $500^{\circ}C$) and the pyrolysis time(up to 65minutes), especially these were more sensitive to the pyrolysis time at $425^{\circ}C$ than other pyrolysis temperatures. Each liquid product formed during the pyrolysis was classified into gasoline, kerosene, light oil and wax according to the distillation temperature based on the petroleum product quality standard of Korea Petroleum Quality Inspection Institute. The liquid products of PP pyrolysis up to $450^{\circ}C$ were almost same fractions($26{\pm}3$wt.% gasoline, $20{\pm}2$wt.% kerosene and $23{\pm}2$wt.% light oil) except wax($3{\sim}13$wt.%). On the other hand, the pyrolysis of PP from $475^{\circ}C$ to $500^{\circ}C$ produced $26{\pm}3$wt.% wax, $24{\pm}1$wt.% gasoline, $18{\pm}1$wt.% kerosene and $16{\pm}1$wt.% light oil. After all, the main liquid product changed from gasoline to wax with increasing pyrolysis temperature.

The vast stores of biomass available in the worldwide have the potential to displace significant amounts of fuels that are currently derived from petroleum sources. Fast pyrolysis of biomass is one of possible paths by which we can convert biomass to higher value products. The wood pyrolysis oil (WPO), also known as the bio crude oil (BCO), has been regarded as an alternative fuel for petroleum fuels to be used in diesel engine. However, the use of WPO in a diesel engine requires modifications due to low energy density, high water contents, low acidity, and high viscosity of the WPO. One of the easiest way to adopt WPO to diesel engine without modifications is emulsification of WPO with diesel or bio diesel. In this study, a DI diesel engine operated with diesel, bio diesel (BD), WPO/BD emulsion was experimentally investigated. Performance and gaseous & particle emission characteristics of a diesel engine fuelled by WPO/BD emulsion were examined. Results showed that stable engine operation was possible with emulsion and engine output power was comparable to diesel and bio diesel operation.

The chemical compositions and pyrolysis characteristics of oil shales and source rocks distributed in the southwestern and southeastern parts of the Korean peninsular have been investigated. In order to compare the results of Korean samples with those of shales giving high oil yields, two Colorado oil shale samples and one Paris source rock samples were also investigated. Chemical compositions of the samples were analysed by means of gravimetry, CHN analysis, X-ray diffraction method, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry and atomic absorption spectrometry. A custom made pyrolyser and a Rock-Eval system were used for the pyrolysis studies. Pyrolyses of the samples were carried out by means of a temperature controlling device to $600^{\circ}C$ at a heating rate of $5^{\circ}C/min$ with a helium flow rate of $1200m{\ell}/min$. The results of pyrolysis study indicated that Colorado shale samples belong to type I and all the other samples belong to type II.

국내에서 폐플라스틱 발생량은 증가하고 있지만 이에 대한 처리방법 및 재활용은 부족한 실정이다. 하지만 최근에 플라스틱과 같은 고분자물질의 처리 방법으로 열분해기술에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 혼합폐플라스틱의 처리 및 생성되는 재생유의 이용가능성을 평가하기위해 폐플라스틱의 각 재질별 TGA와 DCS분석을 통한 열분해특성 파악과 재생유의 품질검사 및 성상분석을 통한 이용가능성을 평가하였다. 온도변화에 대한 재질별 플라스틱의 열분해는 PP, LDPE, HDPE, PET, PS,기타 순으로 이루어짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 각 재질별 플라스틱의 열분해 특성을 기초로 하여 혼합폐플라스틱의 열분해처리 조건을 설정하였고, Batch식 열분해 플랜트를 가동하며 혼합폐플라스틱을 처리하였다. 열분해 처리시 발생되는 가연성가스를 포집, 냉각 및 정제과정을 거쳐 오일을 생산하고, 시중에서 판매되고 있는 연료유와 재생유를 한국산업규격의 석유품질검사법에 준하여 분석하였다. 재생유의 품질은 낮은 인화점을 제외하고는 모두 품질기준에 적합한 것으로 분석되었고, 연료유와의 성상을 비교한 결과 등유와 경유 중간의 성상을 나타내었다. 따라서 혼합폐플라스틱을 열분해 처리해 생성된 오일은 연료유로 이용이 가능하므로 신재생에너지로 활용이 충분할 것으로 확인되었다.

본 연구에서는 폐타이어의 열분해 특성을 알아보기 위하여 유동층 반응기를 이용하여 450에서 $650^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 급속 열분해를 실시하였다. 반응 온도의 변화에 따른 열분해 오일의 특성을 관찰하고 특히 폐폴리프로필렌을 폐타이어와 혼합하여 열분해를 실시할 때 열분해 부산물 내 황의 거동을 살펴보았다. 열분해 오일의 수율은 반응 온도 $456^{\circ}C$에서 약 52wt.%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 생산된 오일의 GC-MS 분석 결과 반응 온도가 증가할수록 지방족 화합물의 함량은 줄어드는 반면 방향족 화합물의 함량이 급격히 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 주요 화합물은 리모넨(Limonene), 톨루엔(Toluene), 자일렌(Xylene), 스타이렌(Styrene), 트리메틸벤젠(Trimethylbenzene) 그리고 메틸나프탈렌류(Methylnaphthalenes)이었으며 미량의 황 화합물과 질소 화합물도 검출되었다. 폐폴리프로필렌을 폐타이어와 혼합 열분해 한 결과 열분해 오일 내 황의 함량이 급격히 감소하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다.

The effects of silica-alumina type catalysts addition on the thermal decomposition of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) resin have been studied in a thermal analyzer (TGA, DSC) and a small batch reactor. The silica-alumina type compounds tested were kaolinite, bentonite, perlite, activated clay and clay. As the results of TGA experiments, pyrolysis starting temperature for EVA resin had the 1st pyrolysis temperature range of 300~$400^{\circ}C$ and the 2nd pyrolysis temperature range of 425~$525^{\circ}C$. The silica-alumina type catalysts did not affect the pyrolysis rate in EVA pyrolysis reaction. In the DSC experiments, addition of kaolinite and bentonite catalysts reduced the heat of fusion and heat of 2nd pyrolysis reaction. In the batch system experiments, the mixing of silica-alumina type catalysts enhanced the yield of fuel oil, and affected to the distribution of carbon numbers. In the silica-alumina type inorganic material used in this experiments, bentonite was the most effective from the pyrolysis heat, yields, and the characteristics of fuel oil.
