Electrochemical devices are constructed for continuous syngas (CO + H₂) production with controlled selectivity between CO₂ and proton reduction reactions. The ratio of CO to H₂, or the faradaic efficiency toward CO generation, was mechanically manipulated by adjusting the space volume between the cathode and the polymer gas separator in the device. In particular, the area added between the cathode and the ion-conducting polymer using 0.5 M KHCO₃ catholyte regulated the solution acidity and proton reduction kinetics in the flow cell. The faradaic efficiency of CO production was controlled as a function of the distance between the polymer separator and cathode in addition to that manipulated by the electrode potential. Further, the electrochemical CO₂ reduction device using Au NPs presented a stable operation for more than 23 h at different H₂:CO production levels, demonstrating the functional stability of the flow cell utilizing the mechanical variable as an important operational factor.

석탄가스화는 석탄을 불완전 연소하여 수소와 일산화탄소로 이루어진 합성가스를 생성하는 공정이다. 기 존 석탄 연소와 달리 질소 산화물이나 황 산화물이 배출되지 않고 미세먼지 발생량이 적어 석탄을 청정하게 이용할 수 있으며 합성가스를 통해 부가적인 화학물질을 생산할 수 있다. 석탄가스화는 합성가스 생산방식에 따라 석탄가스화복합화력발전(Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle, IGCC), 플라즈마 석탄가스화, 지하석탄 가스화(Underground Coal Gasification, UCG)로 분류된다. 최근에는 합성가스의 수소를 활용하기 위하여 일산화탄소를 수소로 전환하는 수성가스전환(Water Gas Shift, WGS) 반응기와 이산화탄소를 포집하는 설비를 결합하는 사례가 늘고 있다. 본 연구에서는 석탄가스화와 합성가스를 이용한 수소 생산 방법에 대하여 정리하였으며 현재 진행되고 있는 석탄가스화를 이용한 수소 생산 프로젝트를 조사하였다.

The cement industry emits a large amount of greenhouse gases compared to other industries, with about 60% of CO₂ emissions from the decarbonation of limestone and about 40% from the combustion of fossil fuels. Therefore, the cement industry needs to reduce greenhouse gases through carbon capture, utilization, and storage technology. Capturing CO₂ and synthesizing it into methanol is feasible and also useful as raw material for the chemical industry and as marine fuel. In this study, We aimed to produce methanol from syngas produced by capturing CO₂ emissions. Process simulations were performed under various conditions such as syngas ratio, temperature, and pressure for the production of synthesis gas and methanol, and the results showed that the optimal amount of methanol production at a synthesis gas ratio of 2.03.

이 연구에서는 합성가스를 유일한 탄소원으로 사용하는 Clostridium autoethanogenum 배양에서 배지 성분 중 금속이온의 농도가 균주 성장과 대사산물 생산에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. C. autoethanogenum 배양에 사용되는 기본 배지구성 성분의 금속이온 종류 중 molybdenum, nickel, cobalt를 조사 대상으로 선정하여 이 성분들의 농도를 달리하였을 때 균주 성장과 에탄올, 아세트산 생산에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. Molybdenum은 0, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1 g/L농도를 시험하였으며 0.001 g/L에서 에탄올 생산량이 약간 증가하는 경향을 보였지만 시험한 농도 범위 내에서 뚜렷한 영향이 관찰되지 않았다. Nickel은 0, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1 g/L의 농도 범위에서 균주 성장과 에탄올 생산에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였으며, 0.01 g/L 농도에서 에탄올 생산농도가 기본 배지 농도인 0.1 g/L에서보다 26% 증가되는 것을 확인하였다. Cobalt는 0, 0.018, 0.18, 1.8 g/L 농도 범위에서 균주 성장과 에탄올 생산에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 기본 배지 조건인 0.18 g/L의 이상의 농도에서는 균주 성장이 약간 저해되는 현상이 관찰되었다. 결과적으로 연구에 사용된 세 가지 금속이온 성분 중 cobalt는 배지 내 성분 농도에 따른 에탄올 생산농도 향상을 이루지 못하였으나, molybdenum, nickel은 기본 배지 내 일반적인 농도의 1/10을 사용함으로써 에탄올 생산농도 향상을 이룰 수 있었다.

IGCC(Integrated Coal Gasification and Combined Cycle) plants can be among the most advanced and environmental systems for electric energy generation from various feed stocks and is becoming more and more popular in new power generation fields. In this work, the performance of IGCC plants employing Shell gasification technology and a GE 7FB gas turbine engine was simulated using IPSEpro open-equation modeling environment for different operating conditions. Performance analyses and comparisons of all operating cases were performed based on the design cases. Discussions were focused on gas composition, syngas production rate and overall performance. The validation of key steady-state performance values calculated from the process models were compared with values from the provided heat and material balances for Shell coal gasification technology. The key values included in the validation included the inlet coal flow rate; the mass flow rate, heating value, and composition of major gas species (CO, H2, CH4, H2O, CO2, H2S, N2, Ar) for the syngas exiting the gasifier island; and the HP and MP steam flows exiting the gasifier island.

In this study, syngas laminar burning velocities with various hydrogen contents were studied using both experimental measurements and kinetic simulations. The laminar burning velocities were measured by the angle method of Bunsen flame configuration and the numerical calculations including burning velocities were made using CHEMKIN Package with USC-Mech II. A large range of syngas mixture compositions such as 10:90%, 25:75%, 50:50%, 75:25% and equivalence ratio from lean condition of 0.5 to rich condition of 5.0 have been conducted. The experimental results of burning velocity were in good agreement with previous other research data and numerical simulation. Also, it was shown that the experimental measurements of laminar burning velocity linearly increased with the increasing of $H_2$ content although the flame speed of hydrogen is faster about ten times than carbon monoxide. This phenomenon is attributed to the rapid production of the hydrogen related radicals such as H and OH at the early stage of combustion, which is confirmed the linear increasing of radical concentrations on kinetic simulation.

This study was performed by the numerical approach to investigate chemical behaviors of homogeneous syngas ($CO/H_2$) with nitric monoxide (NO) in pressurized oxy-fuel conditions. Hydrogen had a dominant effect to the ignition delay time of syngas due to the fast chemistry of its oxidation. Combustion was promoted by NO at the low temperature region. It was by the additional heat release through NO oxidation and production and consumption of major radicals related to the ignition. Two stage ignition behavior was shown in the pressurized condition by the accumulation of $H_2O_2$ produced from $HO_2$ radical. Additional NO oxidation was induced by the pressurized oxy-fuel condition to produce $NO_2$.

Fischer-Tropsch 합성공정은 합성가스로부터 탄화수소를 합성하는 대표적인 방법이며, 주로 철(Fe)계와 코발트(Co)계 촉매로 알려져 있다. 현재 생성물에 따라 일부 기술(CTL, GTL 등)은 상용 규모로 운전되고 있으나, 경질탄화수소와 중간유분을 직접 생산하는 연구는 아직 상용화되지는 않았다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 국내에서 현재까지 경질탄화수소와 중간유분을 직접 생산하기 위한 연구들을 정리하였으며, 촉매의 제조법, 조촉매 첨가, 제올라이트의 조합과 같은 영향이 생성물의 선택도에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다.

본 연구에서는 Clostridium ljungdahlii 배양에서 유기질소공급물인 tryptone과 sodium tungstate의 배양액 내 농도가 균주 성장과 아세트산, 에탄올 생산에 대한 영향을 확인하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 대조군 실험의 배지 조건(0 g/L tryptone)보다 tryptone 2.5 g/L를 투입한 경우 균주 성장이 144.6% 증가하였고, 에탄올 및 아세트산 생산은 각각 8.6%와 36.7% 향상되었다. 대조군 실험에 사용된 배지의 조건(0.01 µM Na₂WO₄·2H₂O)보다 100배인 1 µM Na₂WO₄·2H₂O를 사용한 실험군에서, 균주 성장과 C2 대사산물의 총생산량에는 큰 차이가 없지만, 에탄올 생산 증가하고 아세트산 생산은 감소하여 에탄올/아세트산 생산비가 0.56로 대조군의 0.24에서 크게 증가하였다.

A study has been conducted numerically to investigate the lifted flat syngas flame structure of impinging jet flame configuration with the global strain rates in 10% hydrogen content. In this study, the effects of strain rate were major parameters on chemistry kinetics and flame structure at stagnation point. The numerical results were calculated by SPIN application of the CHEMKIN package. The strain rates were adjusted with Reynolds numbers of premixed syngas-air mixture. Different flame shapes were observed with different strain rates. As strain rate has increased, the flame temperature and axial velocity have been decreased due to the flame heat loss increment, and the OH radical reaction zones become narrower but each mole fractions are still constant. Also, the reversion of $H_2O$ product near stagnation point has been found out when strain rate has increased. This phenomenon is attributed to the rapid production of oxidizing radical reaction such as the R12 ($H+O_2(+M)=HO_2(+M)$), which makes the R18 ($HO_2+OH=O_2+H_2O$) reaction increment.
