The carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were synthesized through the catalytic decomposition of hydrocarbons in a quartz tube reactor. The CNFs prepared from $C_3H_8$ at $550^{\circ}C$ was selected as the purification sample due to the higher content of impurity than that prepared from other conditions. In this study, we carried out the purification of CNFs by oxidation in air or carbon dioxide after acid treatment, and investigated the influence of purification parameters such as kind of acid, concentration, oxidation time, and oxidation temperature on the structure of CNFs. The metal catalysts could be easily eliminated from the prepared CNFs by liquid phase purification with various acids and it was verified by ICP analysis, in which, for example, Ni content decreased from 2.51% to 0.18% with 8% nitric acid. However, the particulate carbon and heterogeneous fibers were not removed from the prepared CNFs by thermal oxidation in air and carbon dioxide. This result can be explained by that the direction of graphene sheet in CNFs is vertical to the fiber axis and the CNFs are oxidized at about the similar rate with the impurity carbon.

천연가스의 열분해법은 천연가스 (CH4)를 고온에서 분해 시켜 수소와 탄소로 전환시키는 기술이다. 천연가스 열분해법의 가장 큰 장점은 이산화탄소의 발생 없이 수소와 탄소를 만드는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 이와같이 천연가스 고온 열분해법을 이용하여 메탄으로부터 수소와 탄소의 생성을 연구하였다. 실험을 통하여 메탄의 고온 열분해시 pyrocarbon이 반응관 내벽에 생성되며 그 위에 탄소가 퇴적되는 plugging 현상이 발생한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 이중관 반응기법, 반응 중간에 주기적으로 $O_2$나 $CO_2$로 퇴적된 탄소를 산화시키는 방법 등을 시도하였으며, 그 결과 어느 정도의 탄소 퇴적 현상을 해결할 수 있었다. 또한 SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) image를 사용하여 탄소 입자의 크기를 측정하였으며 그 크기는 약 200 nm정도였다.

Carbonization products C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5 were prepared by the carbonization of date pit in limited air, at 500, 600, 700, 800 and $1000^{\circ}C$, respectively. C1-V-600, C3-V-600, C1-V-1000 and C3-V-1000 were prepared by thermal treatment of C1 and C3 under vacuum at 600 and $1000^{\circ}C$. The textural properties were determined from nitrogen adsorption at 77 K and from carbon dioxide adsorption at 298 K. The surface pH, the FTIR spectra and the acid and base neutralization capacities of some carbons were investigated. The amounts of surface oxygen were determined by out-gassing the carbon-oxygen groups on the surface as $CO_2$ and CO. The adsorption of water vapor at 308 K on C1, C2, C3 and C4 was measured and the decomposition of $H_2O_2$ at 308 K was also investigated on C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5. The surface area and the total pore volume decreased with the rise of the carbonization temperature from 500 to $1000^{\circ}C$. The adsorption of water vapor is independent on the textural properties, while it is related to the amount of acidic carbon-oxygen groups on the surface. The catalytic activity of $H_2O_2$ decomposition does not depend on the textural properties, but directly related to the amount of basic carbon-oxygen complexes out-gassed as CO, at high temperatures.

Solid SCR에 사용 가능한 암모니아 저장물질의 하나인 암모니움 카바메이트는 열 분해시 이산화탄소 가스와 암모니아 가스를 생성하며, 분해 온도인 $60^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 암모니움 염으로 재결합되는 단점이 있다. 이러한 재결합 현상을 극복하기 위하여, 희석기체인 압축공기를 이용하여 기초가시화 실험을 수행하였다. 또한, 재결합 현상을 계량화하기 위하여, 재결합 물질의 무게변화를 측정하기 위한 간단한 장치를 만들어 자동차환경에서 사용되는 SUS재질의 3가지 관경에 크기에 대한 상관관계를 검토하였다. 아크릴 튜브로 제작된 온도조절이 가능한 가시화 실험장치에, 암모니아 가스, 이산화탄소 가스, 희석기 체인 질소 가스를 공급하며, 재결합 방지를 위한 온도, 압력, 희석유량과의 관계를 고찰하고, Chapman-Enskog Theory에서 파생된 Diffusivity를 사용하여 재결합 조건을 유추할 수 있는 지표로 사용하고자 한다.

본 연구는 돼지 뼈 기반의 바이오매스를 가지고 새로운 흡착재의 활용가능성을 조사하였다. 이를 위하여 돼지 뼈 기반 활성탄소(pig bone based activated carbon, PAC)의 물리화학적 특성을 확인하고 이산화탄소 흡착 성능을 고찰하였다. 활성화제로 KOH를 사용하였으며, 활성화 온도가 증가할수록 비표면적이 증가하며 이산화탄소의 흡착 효율도 증가하였다. 800 ℃에서 활성화된 샘플은 1208.7 m²/g로 가장 큰 비표면적을 나타내었으며, 273 K, 1 bar에서 3.33 mmol/g로 높은 이산화탄소 흡착 효율을 보였다. 그러나 활성화 온도가 900 ℃ 이상인 조건에서는 결정성의 변화 및 과활성화로 인하여 비표면적과 이산화탄소 흡착 효율이 감소하였다. 한편 이상흡착용액이론으로 그 선택도 계산을 수행하였을 때, 273 K, 0.8 bar 이하에서 PAC-900 샘플이 가장 좋은 선택도를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 273 K에서의 이산화탄소/질소 흡착은 900 ℃에서 돼지 뼈가 활성화될 때 탄산염이 분해됨으로써 형성된 하이드록시아파타이트의 이산화탄소 흡착성과 그 결정성으로 인해 높은 선택도가 얻어진 것으로 판단된다.

This work was focused on the thermal decomposition of methane into hydrogen and carbon black without emitting carbon dioxide. Extensive experimental investigation on the thermal decomposition of methane has been carried out using a continuous flow reaction system with tubular reactor. The experiments were conducted at the atmospheric pressure condition in the wide range of temperature ($950-1150^{\circ}C$) and flow rate (250 - 1500 ml/min) in order to study their dependency on hydrogen yield. During the experiments the carbon black was successfully recovered as an useful product. Undesirable pyrocarbon was also formed as solid film, which was deposited on the inside surface of tubular reactor. The film of pyrocarbon in the reactor wall became thicker and thicker, finally blocking the reactor. The design of an efficient reactor which can effectively suppress the formation of pyrocarbon was thought to be one of the most important subjects in the thermal cracking of methane.

Spinel LiMn2O4 catalyst with submicron and single phase particles was synthesized at 48$0^{\circ}C$ for 12 hr in air by a sol-gel method. The spinel LiMn2O4 was deoxidized by hydrogen at various temperatures. Effects of physiochemical properties of the catalyst reduced by hydrogen were examined with X-ray diffractometer, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscope. The decomposition rate of carbon dioxide was measrued using the catalyst deosidized at 35$0^{\circ}C$.

The experiment established optimal conditions for over-carbonization. With the use of the electron microscopy and X-ray phase analysis the regularities of carbon deposit formation in process of methane and propane pyrolysis on the zeolites, Kazakhstan natural clays, chrome and bauxite sludge containing metal oxides of iron subgroup, have been studied. In process of over-carbonization the trivalent iron was reduced to metal form. In addition, the carbon tubes of divers morphology had been impregnated with ultra-dispersed metal particles. The kinetic parameters of carbon formation in process of methane decomposition on the zeolite - CoO mixture surface were investigated by method of thermo-gravimetric analysis. The morphology and structure of formed carbon fibrils, with the metal particles fixed at their ends, have been investigated, the formation of branched carbon fibrils pattern, so called octopus, being found. Also, the walnut shells and grape kernel carbonization, their immobilization by the cells of selective absorption of heavy metal and sulfur dioxide ions have been studied. The example of metal-carbon composites used as adsorbents for wastewater purification, C$_3$- C$_4$ hydrocarbon cracking catalysts and refractory materials with improved properties have been considered.

BACKGROUND: Application of urea may increase $CO_2$ emission from soils due both to $CO_2$ generation from urea hydrolysis and fertilizer-induced decomposition of soil organic carbon (SOC). The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of increasing urea application on $CO_2$ emission from soil and mineralization kinetics of indigenous SOC. METHODS AND RESULTS: Emission of $CO_2$ from a soil amended with four different rates (0, 175, 350, and 700 mg N/kg soil) of urea was investigated in a laboratory incubation experiment for 110 days. Cumulative $CO_2$ emission ($C_{cum}$) was linearly increased with urea application rate due primarily to the contribution of urea-C through hydrolysis to total $CO_2$ emission. First-order kinetics parameters ($C_0$, mineralizable SOC pool size; k, mineralization rate) became greater with increasing urea application rate; $C_0$ increased from 665.1 to 780.3 mg C/kg and k from 0.024 to 0.069 $day^{-1}$, determinately showing fertilizer-induced SOC mineralization. The relationship of $C_0$ (non-linear) and k (linear) with urea-N application rate revealed different responses of $C_0$ and k to increasing rate of fertilizer N. CONCLUSION(s): The relationship of mineralizable SOC pool size and mineralization rate with urea-N application rate suggested that increasing N fertilization may accelerate decomposition of readily decomposable SOC; however, it may not always stimulate decomposition of non-readily decomposable SOC that is protected from microbial decomposition.
