(3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTMS) was used as a silylation agent, and modified silica nanoparticles were prepared by solution polymerization. 2.0 g of silica nanoparticles, 150 ml of toluene, and 20 ml of MPTMS were put into a 300 ml flask, and these mixtures were dispersed with ultrasonic vibration for 60 min. 0.2 g of hydroquinone as an inhibitor and 1 to 2 drops of 2,6-dimethylpyridine as a catalyst were added into the mixture. The mixture was then stirred with a magnetic stirrer for 8 hrs. at room temperature. After the reaction, the mixture was centrifuged for 1 hr. at 6000rpm. After precipitation, 150 ml of ethanol was added, and ultrasonic vibration was applied for 30 min. After the ultrasonic vibration, centrifugation was carried out again for 1 hr. at 6000rpm. Organo-modification of silica nanoparticles with a ${\gamma}$-methacryloxypropyl functional group was successfully achieved by solution polymerization in the ethanol solution. The characteristics of the ${\gamma}$-mercaptopropyl modified silica nanoparticles (MPSN) were examined using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, THERMO VG SCIENTIFIC, MultiLab 2000), a laser scattering system (LSS, TOPCON Co., GLS-1000), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR, JASCO INTERNATIONL CO., FT/IR-4200), scanning electron microscopy (SEM, HITACHI, S-2400), an elemental analysis (EA, Elementar, Vario macro/micro) and a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA, Perkin Elmer, TGA 7, Pyris 1). From the analysis results, the content of the methacryloxypropyl group was 0.98 mmol/g and the conversion rate of acrylamide monomer was 93%. SEM analysis results showed that the organo-modification of ultra-fine particles effectively prevented their agglomeration and improved their dispensability.

To characterize thermo-chemical feature of sugar conversion of woody biomass, poplar wood ($Populus\;alba{\times}glandulosa$) powder was treated with supercritical water system. Supercritical water treatment (SCWT) was performed for 60 seconds at different temperatures (subcritical zone 350; supercritical zone $300,\;400,\;425^{\circ}C$) under two pressures $230{\pm}10atm$ as well as $330{\pm}10atm$, respectively, using flow type system. After separation of solid residues from SCWT products, the monomeric sugars in aqueous part converted from poplar wood powder were quantitatively determined by high performance anionic exchange chromatography [HPAEC] equipped with PAD detector and Carbo Pac PA10 column. As the temperature treated increased, the degradation of poplar wood powder was enhanced and ca 83% of woody biomass was dissolved into the water at $425^{\circ}C$. However, the pressure didn't help the degradation of biomass components. At subcritical temperature range, xylose was first formed by degradation of xylan, which is main hemicellulose component in hardwood species, while cellulose degradation started at the transition zone between sub and supercritical conditions and was remarkably accelerated at the supercritical temperature. In the supercritical water system the maximum yield of monomeric sugars amounts to ca. 7.3% based on oven dried wood weight at $425^{\circ}C$.

BACKGROUND: Hydrothermal carbonization reaction is the thermo-chemical energy conversion technology for producing the solid fuel of high carbon density from organic wastes. The hydrothermal carbonization reaction is accompanied by the thermal hydrolysis reaction which converse particulate organic matters to soluble forms (hydro-thermal hydrolysate). Recently, hydrothermal carbonization is adopted as a pre-treatment technology to improve anaerobic digestion efficiency. This research was carried out to assess the effects of hydro-thermal reaction temperature on the methane potential and anaerobic biodegradability in the thermal hydrolysate of organic sludge generating from the wastewater treatment plant of poultry slaughterhouse .METHODS AND RESULTS: Wastewater treatment sludge cake of poultry slaughterhouse was treated in the different hydro-thermal reaction temperature of 170, 180, 190, 200, and 220℃. Theoretical and experimental methane potential for each hydro-thermal hydrolysate were measured. Then, the organic substance fractions of hydro-thermal hydrolysate were characterized by the optimization of the parallel first order kinetics model. The increase of hydro-thermal reaction temperature from 170℃ to 220℃ caused the enhancement of hydrolysis efficiency. And the methane potential showed the maximum value of 0.381 Nm³ kg^-1-VS_added in the hydro-thermal reaction temperature of 190℃. Biodegradable volatile solid(VSB) content have accounted for 66.41% in 170℃, 72.70% in 180℃, 79.78% in 190℃, 67.05% in 200℃, and 70.31% in 220℃, respectively. The persistent VS content increased with hydro-thermal reaction temperature, which occupied 0.18% for 170℃, 2.96% for 180℃, 6.32% for 190℃, 17.52% for 200℃, and 20.55% for 220℃.CONCLUSION: Biodegradable volatile solid showed the highest amount in the hydro-thermal reaction temperature of 190℃, and then, the optimum hydro-thermal reaction temperature for organic sludge was assessed as 190℃ in the aspect of the methane production. The rise of hydro-thermal reaction temperature caused increase of persistent organic matter content.

하수 슬러지로부터 추출된 유지를 이용하여 바이오디젤 생산에 대해 고찰하였다. 바이오디젤 생산의 밝은 전망에도 불구하고, 이를 상용화하기 위한 노력은 매우 제한되어 있다. 주요 장애물 중 하나는 전체 생산비용의 약 70~75%를 구성하는 정제 유지의 공급 원료와 연관된 높은 가격이다. 따라서 이를 극복하기 위하여 폐유나 낮은 품질 유지 등의 저가 원료를 사용하여 바이오디젤의 생산 비용을 낮추는 기술이 제안되어 왔다. 이런 측면에서 하수 슬러지로부터 추출된 유지는 비교적 저렴하여 유망한 원료로 평가받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 하수 슬러지로부터 추출된 유지를 이용한 바이오디젤의 생산기술을 검토하였다. 하수 슬러지로부터 유지 추출공정 및 에스테르화 전환공정 및 무촉매 열화학 전환공정을 살펴보았다.

근래의 무분별한 화석연료의 사용은 에너지자원의 고갈과 환경오염의 문제를 야기하여 이의 해결을 위한 청정신에너지에 대한 연구가 전 세계적으로 집중되고 있다. 이 중 바이오매스는 화석연료보다 비교적 높은 H/C비를 갖기 때문에 신에너지인 수소 또는 Syngas를 생산하기 위한 가스화 특성이 우수한 특징을 가지고 있으며, 구성성분 내 중금속, 타르 질소를 거의 함유하지 않는 점에서 환경오염 저감과 동시에 대체 신에너지로써 각광을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 목질계 바이오매스인 Wood pellet에 대하여 고정층 반응기를 이용하여 질소 분위기하에서 온도 및 Steam/Biomass Ratio(SBR)조건 변화에 따른 가스화 특성으로 고찰하는데 그 목적을 둔다. 온도의 영향에 대하여, 높은 온도 범위에서 수소 수율이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. SBR에 대한 영향으로서, 상대적 저온 조건에서는 SBR이 1 이상인 조건에서는 수소 수율이 거의 일정한 경향을 보였고, $900^{\circ}C$의 고온에서는 SBR 증가에 따라 증가하는 결과를 얻었다. 또한 $H_2$/CO ratio에 비하여 $H_2/CH_4$ ratio의 변화가 더 큰 결과로부터, 본 실험 조건에서의 반응은 Steam reforming이 Water gas shift reaction 보다 더욱 지배적임을 확인하였다. 최적의 $H_2$ 수율 생산 조건은 열분해의 경우 $800^{\circ}C$이며, 저온 스팀가스화의 경우에는 SBR=1, $900^{\circ}C$의 고온인 경우에는 SBR=3 이었으며, 최대 수소 수율은 $900^{\circ}C$, SBR=3의 조건에서 38.5 vol.%(56.01 L/min kg) 이었다.
