Bacterial assimilation of $CO_2$ into stable biomolecules using electrochemical reducing power may be an effective method to reduce atmospheric $CO_2$ without fossil fuel combustion. For the enrichment of the $CO_2$-fixing bacteria using electrochemical reducing power as an energy source, a cylinder-type electrochemical bioreactor with a built-in anode compartment was developed. A graphite felt cathode modified with neutral red (NR-graphite cathode) was used as a solid electron mediator to induce bacterial cells to fix $CO_2$ using electrochemical reducing power. Bacterial $CO_2$ consumption was calculated based on the variation in the ratio of $CO_2$ to $N_2$ in the gas reservoir. $CO_2$ consumed by the bacteria grown in the electrochemical bioreactor (2,000 ml) reached a maximum of approximately 1,500 ml per week. Time-coursed variations in the bacterial community grown with the electrochemical reducing power and $CO_2$ in the mineral-based medium were analyzed via temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE) of the 16S rDNA variable region. Some of the bacterial community constituents noted at the initial time disappeared completely, but some of them observed as DNA signs at the initial time were clearly enriched in the electrochemical bioreactor during 24 weeks of incubation. Finally, Alcaligenes sp. and Achromobacter sp., which are capable of autotrophically fixing $CO_2$, were enriched to major constituents of the bacterial community in the electrochemical bioreactor.

본 연구의 목적은 콘크리트량을 저감시키기 위해 오메가형 강판을 삽입한 철선일체형 중공 데크플레이트 슬래브와 용접 H형강합성보의 휨성능 및 $CO_2$ 감소량을 평가하는 것이다. 중공 데크플레이트 슬래브는 콘크리트의 양을 줄여 건물의 중량을 저감시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 환경친화적인 구조물을 확보할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 액츄에이터를 이용한 단조가력 실험을 실시하여 합성보의 휨성능을 평가하였으며, 기존연구를 바탕으로 이산화탄소의 배출량을 정량적으로 평가하였다. 주요 실험 변수는 오메가형 강판 상부 슬래브의 콘크리트 두께, 오메가형 강판의 단속길이 등이다. 실험결과, 용접 H형강 보에 오메가형 강판을 삽입한 철선일체형 중공 데크플레이트 슬래브를 적용하여 합성보로 사용하면, 콘크리트 양의 감소에 의한 합성보의 휨내력 저하는 없는 것으로 나타났으며, $CO_2$ 절감에도 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

This study analyzed the measured value came out by the field test to verify the surface temperature reduction of the flat roof due to green roof, and confirmed the influence of the green roof based on it, and assessed the possibility of saving structures' energy and reducing $CO_2$ emission of structures. For the actual measurement, the differences of the average atmospheric temperature of the green roof and non-green roof flat roof were $8.67^{\circ}C$ and $0.787^{\circ}C$, and the average floor temperature gaps were $11^{\circ}C$ and $2.008^{\circ}C$ in October and November respectively. It was expected that if it's measured on around summer solstice that the temperature gets higher, the deviation of the surface temperature should be bigger, and it was confirmed that the green roof eventually raises insulating effect of structures and will influence on cooling and heating effects such as energy saving and insulating.

Increasing atmospheric $CO_2$ affects the soil carbon cycle by influencing microbial activity and the carbon pool. In this study, the effects of elevated $CO_2$ on extracellular enzyme activities (EEA; ${\beta}$-glucosidase, N-acetylglucosaminidase, aminopeptidase) in salt marsh sediment vegetated with Suaeda japonica were assessed under ambient atmospheric $CO_2$ concentration (380 ppm) or elevated $CO_2$ concentration (760 ppm) conditions. Additionally, the community structure of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) was analyzed via terminal restriction fragments length polymorphism (T-RFLP). Sediment with S. japonica samples were collected from the Hwangsando intertidal flat in May 2005, and placed in small pots (diameter 6 cm, height 10 cm). The pots were incubated for 60 days in a growth chamber under two different $CO_2$ concentration conditions. Sediment samples for all measurements were subdivided into two parts: surface (0-2 cm) and rhizome (4-6 cm) soils. No significant differences were detected in EEA with different $CO_2$ treatments in the surface and rhizome soils. However, the ratio of ${\beta}$-glucosidase activity to N-acetylglucosaminidase activity in rhizome soil was significantly lower (P < 0.01) at 760 ppm $CO_2$ than at 380 ppm $CO_2$, thereby suggesting that the contribution of fungi to the decomposition of soil organic matter might in some cases prove larger than that of bacteria. Community structures of SRB were separated according to different $CO_2$ treatments, suggesting that elevated $CO_2$ may affect the carbon and sulfur cycle in salt marshes.

The reduction behavior of $TiO_{2}$ in Al and Al/CaSi containing self-reducing $TiO_{2}$ briquettes(SRTB) was investigated. The maximum yield of Ti was expected with the slag composition of 45-55%CaO in the $CaO-Al_{2}O_{3}$ system. When $CaCO_{3}$ was used as a flux, the oxidation loss of reducing agent by $CO_{2}$ should be compensated, and therefore it leads to excessive requirement of the reducing agent. By using Al and CaSi mixture as a reducing agent of $TiO_{2}$, the reaction products both oxide and metal could be liquefied, and separated effectively with each other. As a result, the yield of Ti increases remarkably. The optimum mixing ratio of CaSi to Al is 78%CaSi-22%Al.

This Paper presented the reduction methods of $CO_2$ emission from ships during voyage. In order to decrease $CO_2$ emission during voyage the equation was established and conducted the study about the relationship between ship speed, the propulsive efficiency and its $CO_2$ production. The results obtained from the examinations are as follows : 1. $CO_2$ emission from sailing ships can be decreased by reducing specific fuel oil consumption of main diesel engine, coefficient of total resistance and ship speed and also by increasing propeller efficiency. 2. Diesel-electric propulsion system is more effective than diesel-mechanical system to decrease the level of $CO_2$ emission during long voyage. 3. Good condition of ship's hull surface, rudder and propeller's surface can decrease the quantity of fuel oil and $CO_2$ emission by reducing the resistance of ship that can rise the propeller efficiency 4. $CO_2$ emitted from ships can be decreased in a global scale by giving attention to the synthetic transport efficiency.

미생물에 의한 금속이온의 환원은 탄소와 금속의 생지화학적 순환에 영향을 줄 뿐만 아니라 또한 금속, 방사성원소, 그리고 유기물로 오염된 지하수와 토양의 정화에 있어서 중요한 역할 가능성을 시사하고 있다. 지구의 극한 환경(예: 심해저 퇴적, 알칼리성 호수 등)에서 서식하는 철환원 박테리아를 분리하여 금속이온의 환원과 광물 형성 등의 실험에 이용하여 본 결과에 의하면, 이들 철환원 박테리아는 Fe(III), Mn(IV), Cr(VI), Co(III), and U(VI)이온 등을 환원시킬 뿐만 아니라, 자철석($Fe_3$$O_4$), 능철석($FeCO_3$), 방해석($CaCO_3$), 능망간석($MnCO_3$), 비비아나이트 [$Fe_3$($PO_4$)$_2$ .$8H_2$O], 우라니나이트(UO) 등의 광물을 형성한다. 철 환원 박테리아에 의한 광물 형성과 금속이온의 환원에 영향을 미치는 주요소는 대기의 조성, 화학 조성, 및 박테리아의 종이다. 호열성 철환원 박테리아는 철수화물과 금속이온(Co, Cr, Ni) 등을 동시에 환원시켜 금속 치환된 자철석을 합성하며, 또한 석탄회 등을 이용하여 탄산염 광물을 형성하여 대기 중의 이산화탄소를 고정하는 역할을 하기도 한다. 따라서 미생물에 의한 금속이온이 환원은 자연계에서 철과 탄소의 지화학적인 순환에 영향 미치며, 또한 미생물에 의한 자철석의 합성은 산업적으로 많은 이용가치가 있을 것으로 본다.

High purity hydrogen, 97-99 vol.%, with CO at just ppm levels was obtained in a fixed bed of iron oxide employing the steam-iron cycle operation with reduction at 823K and oxidation in a steam-$N_2$ mixture at 773K TGA experiments indicated that temperature of the reduction step as well as its duration are important for preventing carbon build-up in iron and the intrusion of $CO_2$ into the hydrogen product. At a reduction temperature of 823K, oxide reduction by $H_2$ was considerably faster than reduction by CO. If the length of the reduction step exceeds optimal value, low levels of methane gas appeared in the off-gas. Furthermore, with longer durations of the reduction step and CO levels in the reducing gas greater than 10 vol.%, carbidization of the iron and/or carbon deposition in the bed exhibited the increasing pressure drop over the bed, eventually rendering the reactor inoperable. Reduction using a reducing gas containing 10 vol.% CO and a optimal reduction duration gave constant $H_2$ flow rates and off-gas composition over 10 redox reaction cycles.

미생물을 이용한 광물 합성은 현재 초기 연구 단계에 있으나 신소재 개발 측면에서 다양한 활용 가능성을 보이고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 철 환원 박테리아를 이용한 코발트로 치환된 자철석의 합성 및 이의 광물학적 특성을 알아보는데 있다. 호열성 철 환원 박테리아인 TOR-39는 65에서 비정질 철 수화물과 코발트 이온 ($Co^{2+}$ 와 $Co^{3+}$ )을 환원 및 침전시켜 자철석을 합성하였다. EPMA 분석과 X-선회절분석 결과에 의하면 호열성 박테리아가 철수화물을 환원시켜 자철석을 합성시킬 때, 코발트 이온도 동시에 환원 및 침전시켜 코발트로 치환된 자철석을 형성시킨다. 미생물에 의한 코발트로 치환된 자철석의 합성은 나노미터 크기로 생성되기 때문에 산업적으로 많은 이용 가치가 있을 것으로 본다.
