Carbon Capture and Storage technologies are recognized as key solution to meet greenhouse gas emission standards to avoid climate change. Although MEA (monoethanolamine) is an effective amine solvent in $CO_2$ capture process, the application is limited by high energy consumption, i.e., reduction of 10% of efficiency of coal-fired power plants. Therefore the development of new solvent and improvement of $CO_2$ capture process are positively necessary. In this study, improvement of $CO_2$ capture process was investigated and applied to Test Bed for reducing energy consumption. Previously reported technologies were examined and prospective methods were determined by simulation. Among the prospective methods, four applicable methods were selected for applying to 0.1 MW Test Bed, such as change of packing material in absorption column, installing the Intercooling System to absorption column, installing Rich Amine Heater and remodeling of Amines Heat Exchanger. After the improvement construction of 0.1 MW Test Bed, the effects of each suggested method were evaluated by experimental results.

전 세계 화석 연료 사용이 지속적으로 증가함에 따라 공기 중 이산화탄소(CO₂) 농도가 수 세기에 걸쳐 증가하고 있다. 대기로의 CO₂ 배출을 줄이기 위한 방법으로, 주요 배출원인 발전소와 공장에 적용할 수 있는 이산화탄소 포집 및 저장(carbon capture and sequestration, CCS) 기술이 개발되고 있다. 기후 변화 완화 정책에 따라 negative emission 기술로 언급되는 공기 중 CO₂ 직접 포집 기술(direct air capture, DAC)은 CO₂ 농도가 0.04%로 매우 낮기 때문에 기존의 CCS 기술에 적용된 기술과 달리 흡착제를 이용한 저농도 CO₂ 포집 연구에 집중되어 있다. DAC 분야는 주로 CO₂의 흡착을 이용한 습식 흡착제, 건식 흡착제, 아민 기능화된 소재, 이온교환 수지 등이 연구되었다. 흡착제 기반 기술은 흡착제 재생에 따른 고온 열처리 공정이 필요하기 때문에 추가적인 에너지 소모가 없는 분리막 기반의 공기 중 CO₂ 포집 기술의 잠재력이 크다. 분리막은 특히 실내 공기 CO₂ 저감 환기 시스템 및 실내용 스마트팜(smart farm) 시스템의 연속적인 CO₂ 공급에 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. CO₂ 처리 기술은 기후 변화를 완화하기 위한 수단으로 개발이 지속되어야 하며 효율적인 공정 설계와 소재 성능 향상을 통해 공기 중 CO₂ 포집의 효율을 높일 수 있을 것이다.

무분별한 화석연료 사용에 따른 온실가스 배출의 영향으로 지구 온난화 현상과 이와 연계된 환경 재해들이 발생하고 있다. 대표적 온실가스인 이산화탄소를 방출하지 않고 포집하여 저장하는데 관련된 일련의 기술들을 CCS(carbon dioxide capture and storage)라 하여 최근 매우 큰 주목을 받고 있다. CCS 기술 중에서 화학 흡수법(chemical absorption)은 대규모 처리가 가능하다는 측면에서 그 중에서 가장 많이 상용화된 기술이다. 하지만 발생하는 이산화탄소를 경제적으로 처리할 수 있기까지는 아직도 많은 부분들을 개선할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 공정 시스템 공학 측면에서 화학 흡수법에 대하여 최근 연구 동향을 살펴보고 향후 연구 방향에 대해 살펴 보고자 한다.

In this work, the preliminary analysis on both the tracking schedule and measurements characteristics for the spacecraft on the phase of lunar transfer and capture is performed. To analyze both the tracking schedule and measurements characteristics, lunar transfer and capture phases' optimized trajectories are directly adapted from former research, and eleven ground tracking facilities (three Deep Space Network sties, seven Near Earth Network sites, one Daejeon site) are assumed to support the mission. Under these conceptual mission scenarios, detailed tracking schedules and expected measurement characteristics during critical maneuvers (Trans Lunar Injection, Lunar Orbit Insertion and Apoapsis Adjustment Maneuver), especially for the Deajeon station, are successfully analyzed. The orders of predicted measurements' variances during lunar capture phase according to critical maneuvers are found to be within the order of mm/s for the range and micro-deg/s for the angular measurements rates which are in good agreement with the recommended values of typical measurement modeling accuracies for Deep Space Networks. Although preliminary navigation accuracy guidelines are provided through this work, it is expected to give more practical insights into preparing the Korea's future lunar mission, especially for developing flight dynamics subsystem.

Interests in fuel cell based power generation systems are on the steady rise owing to various advantages such as high efficiency, ultra low emission, and potential to achieve a very high efficiency by a synergistic combination with conventional heat engines. In this study, the performance of a hybrid system which combined a molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) and an indirectly fired micro gas turbine adopting carbon dioxide capture technologies was predicted. Commercialized 2.5 MW class MCFC system was used as the based system so that the result of this study could reflect practicality. Three types of ambient pressure hybrid systems were devised: one adopting post-combustion capture and two adopting oxy-combustion capture. One of the oxy-combustion based system is configured as a semi-closed type, while the other is an open cycle type. The post-combustion based system exhibited higher net power output and efficiency than the oxy-combustion based systems. However, the semi-closed system using oxy-combustion has the advantage of capturing almost all carbon dioxide.

본 논문은 동작 포착 장비를 통해 각각 따로 포착된 얼굴과 동작 데이터의 자동 동기화 기술에 대해 다룬다. 광학식 동작 포착 기기를 사용할 때 얼굴 표정과 동작의 포착은 별도로 이루어지는 경우가 많으며, 이 경우 두 데이터 간의 동기화 수행하여야 자연스러운 애니메이션을 만들 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 두 데이터 간의 공통 부분인 목 및 얼굴의 전체적인 움직임 데이터를 기준으로 비선형 시간 변형을 통해 동기화를 수행하는 기법을 제안한다. 연구 결과를 간단한 실험 시나리오에 적용하여 기술의 효과성 여부를 검증하였다.

Most of existing watermarking schemes insert and extract a watermark, focusing on the visual conservation of an original image. However, existing watermarking schemes could be difficult for a watermark detection in case of various distortion caused by display-capture devices. Therefore, we propose a new display-capture based mobile watermarking scheme. The proposed watermarking scheme is a new concept for embedding a watermark, which uses the generated image instead of a given original image. For effective watermark decoding, we also present a method for detecting the background image whose error bit can not be corrected because of various heavy distortion and for avoiding it from the decoding process. For this scheme, we adopt distortion coefficients of camera calibration when we separate a background image from a captured image. For finding available correction bits of ECC through the decoding process, we capture 30,000 images and then calculate the separation ratio of a background image and the average error bits per an image. As experimental result, the separation ratio of a background image is about 96.5% in 30,000 captured image. And the false alarm ratio shows about $5.18{\times}10^{-4}$ in the separated background image. And also we can confirm the availability of real-time processing because the mean execution time is about 82ms per an image for capturing and decoding.

Global warming due to greenhouse gases is an issue of great concern today. Fossil fuel power plants, especially coal-fired thermal power plants, are a major source of carbon dioxide emission. In this work, carbon capture and utilization using sodium hydroxide was studied experimentally. Application for flue gas of a coal-fired power plant is considered. Carbon dioxide, reacting with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, could be converted to sodium bicarbonate ($NaHCO_3$). A bench-scale unit of a reactor system was designed for this experiment. The capture scale of the reactor system was 2 kg of carbon dioxide per day. The detailed operational condition could be determined. The purity of produced sodium bicarbonate was above 97% and the absorption rate of $CO_2$ was above 95% through the experiment using this reactor system. The results obtained in this experiment contain useful information for the construction and operation of a commercial-scale plant. Through this experiment, the possibility of carbon capture for coal power plants using sodium hydroxide could be confirmed.
