Hydrogen is used as a chemical feedstock in several important industrial processes, including oil refineries and petro-chemical production. But, nowadays hydrogen is focused as energy carrier on the rising of problems such as exhaustion of fossil fuel and environmental pollution. Thermochemical hydrogen production by nuclear energy has potential to efficiently produce large quantities of hydrogen without producing greenhouse gases, and research of nuclear hydrogen, therefore, has been worked with goal to demonstrate commercial production in 2020. The oil refineries and petro-chemical plant are very large, centralized producers and users of industrial hydrogen, and high-potential early market for hydrogen produced by nuclear energy. Therefore, it is essential to investigate and analyze for state of domestic hydrogen market focused on industrial users. Hydrogen market of petro-chemical industry as demand site was investigated and worked for demand forecast of hydrogen in 2020. Also we suggested possible supply plans of nuclear hydrogen considered regional characteristics and then it can be provided basis for determination of optimal capacity of nuclear hydrogen plant in 2020.

Petroleum refineries have been considered as an important emission source for atmospheric volatile hazardous air pollutants(HAPs). The emission source includes petroleum refinery processes and process equipment. The control strategy for volatile HAPs requires emission estimations of these pollutants. However, systematic methods of volatile HAPs emission from petroleum refineries have not yet been established. Accordingly, present study surveyed the estimation method of volatile HAPs emitted from the petroleum refinery processes and process equipment. The emission estimation methods for the petroleum refinery processes are applied for 11 petroleum refining facilities: fluidized catalytic cracking, thermal cracking, moving bed catalytic cracking, compressed engine, blowdown system, vacuum distilled column condensator, natural gas or distilled boiler, natural gas or distilled heater, oil boiler, oil heater and flare. Four emission estimation methods applied for the petroleum refinery process equipment are as follows: average emission factor approach, screening ranges approach, EPA correlation approach and unit-specific correlation approach. The process equipment for which emission factors are available are valves, pump seals, connectors, flanges and open-ended lines.

This work presents a numerical modeling procedure to simulate the refractory concrete lining in fluid catalytic cracking units of oil refineries. The model includes the simulation of the anchors that reinforce the contact between the refractory concrete and the steel casing. For this purpose, the constitutive relations of an interface finite element are set to values that represent the homogenized behavior of the anchored interface. The parameters of this constitutive relation can be obtained by experimental tests. The model includes also multi-surface plasticity, in order to represent the behavior of the refractory concrete lining. Since the complexity of real case applications leads to high computational costs, the models presented here were implemented in a high-performance parallelized finite element platform. A case study representing a riser similar to the ones used by the refinery industry demonstrates the potential of the model.

Recently, many studies have been conducted on substituting fossil fuels with bio-refineries in existing industrial systems using biomass. Among the various bio-refineries, microalgae have received wide attention because it uses inorganic compounds to produce useful substances, which are extracted by a cell disruption process. Although numerous cell disruption methods exist, cell disruption efficiency has been studied by ultrasonic treatment. Ultrasound is a high-frequency (20 kHz or higher) sound wave and causes cell disruption by cavitation when passing through a solvent. In this study, we used the microalgal species Chlorella sp., which was cultured in a plate-type photobioreactor. The experiment was conducted using a continuous low-frequency processing device. The reduction of cells with time due to cell disruption was fitted using a logistic model, and optimum conditions for highly efficient cell disruption were determined by conducting experiments under multiple conditions.

Processing and smelting of copper containing sulphide concentrates result in the accumulation of impurities into various process streams. All primary copper smelters and refineries around the world produce significant amounts of slag, dust, sludge, residues and others, which contain copper and precious metals. The recovery of these valuable metals is essential to the overall economics of the smelting process. Physical, chemical and mineralogical characterization of particular slag and Cottrell dusts from primary smelters and $Dor\'{e}$ furnace (TBRC) slag and Pressure Leached Anode slimes from a copper refinery have been carried out to understand the basic behind the recovery processes. Various process options have been evaluated and adapted for the treatment of slag from different smelting furnaces and Cottrell dusts as well as the intermediate products from copper refineries. Besides the hydro- or pyro-metallurgical treatments, the above mentioned physical separation options such as magnetic, gravity separation, flotation and precipitation flotation processes have been successfully identified and adapted as the possible process options to produce a Cu-rich or precious metal-rich concentrates for in-house recycling and other valued by-product for further treatment. The results of laboratory, pilot plant and production operations are presented, and incorporation of several alternative flowsheet is discussed in this paper.

우리나라의 정유회사인 현대 및 인천정유, LG-Caltex, S-oil, 그리고 SK의 탱커 선대구성도 국제 주요 정유회사의 그것과 유사하게 자사 소유 텡커선을 줄여 용선을 증가시키고 있고 용선형태도 정기용선 방식에서 스팟(spot)용선을 선호함으로써 원유운송시 소유 탱커선에 비하여 용선비율을 점차 증가시키는 추세에 있다. 국내외 주요 정유회사가 1980년대 이후 원유운송을 그들의 소유선박보다도 용선에 의존하는 비율이 증가하고 있는 이유는 무엇일까\ulcorner 그리고 정유회사는 어떤 요인에 의하여 자사 소유 탱커선보다도 용선에 의하여 원유운송을 하는 것일까\ulcorner 본 연구의 목적은 국제 주요 7대 정유사의 선대구성의 변화를 분석하여 국내 정유회사를 연구대상으로 하여 위의 문제제기에 대한 답을 구하는데 있다. 다시 말하면, 본 연구의 궁극적인 목적은, 먼저 정유회사가 원유 원산지로부터 원유운송을 위한 탱커 선대 구성에 영향을 미치는 요인을 도출한 뒤, 그 요인들 중 어느 것이 어떻게 국내정유회사의 탱커 운송 로지스틱스에 영향을 미치고 있는가를 실증적으로 연구하는데 있다. 본 연구에서는 상기 실증적 연구에 앞서 선행연구로서 탱커 운송 로지스틱스에 영향을 미치는 의사결정 요인들을 도출하기 위한 논의와 방법론적 과정을 다루고자 한다.

본 논문은 국내 정유사에서 생산되는 도로 포장용 아스팔트에 대하여 노화에 따른 거동 특성을 파악하였다. 이를 위해 국내의 5개 정유회사에 생산되는 두가지 등급의 아스팔트 제품(침입도 85-100, 침입도 60-70)을 포함한 총 9종에 대하여 노화 단계별(노화 이전, 단기노화, 장기노화)로 국내 스트레이트 아스팔트의 침입도$(25^{\circ}C)$, 점도$(50^{\circ}C\;135^{\circ}C)$, 연화점, 및 DSR 시험$(-20^{\circ}C\sim30^{\circ}C)$을 수행하여, 아스팔트의 물성 변화 특성을 고찰하였다. 연구 결과, 국내 스트레이트 아스팔트의 거동은 고온($60^{\circ}C$근방) 및 상온$(10-30^{\circ}C)$범위에서 정유사 제품에 따라 상당한 차이를 나타내었으며, 저온의 경우에는 정유사 제품이나 등급에 관계없이 거의 유사한 거동을 나타내었다. 따라서 어느 정유사의 아스팔트를 사용하는가에 따라, 저온에서의 온도 균열에 대한 저항성은 다소 비슷한 수준일 것으로 판단되지만, 소성변형 및 피로 균열에 대한 저항성이 상이하게 나타날 것으로 판단된다.
