지구온난화의 주범인 이산화탄소가 국제적으로 문제가 되고 있는 가운데, 이산화탄소의 농도 증가를 억제시키기 위해 이산화탄소를 포집하여 장기간 안정적으로 저장시킬 수 있는 탄소 포집 및 저장(Carbon Capture and Storage: CCS) 기술의 개발이 요구되고 있다. CCS 기술은 이산화탄소 저감 방안 중 가장 직접적이고 현실적인 방안으로 각광을 받고 있으나, 이산화탄소 최적 저장지의 선정 및 이산화탄소 지중저장이 야기할 수 있는 부수적인 영향에 대한 분석이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 경상분지를 대상으로 GIS 기법을 이용하여 CCS 설비를 위한 적지 분석을 수행하고, 현황분석 및 법적분석을 수행하였다. 적지분석에는 지질도, 수치표고모형, 경사도, 토지피복도를 이용한 경중률 분석이 사용되었으며, 현황분석에는 고해상도 위성영상을 활용하였다. 그 결과 연구대상지내 이산화탄소 저장시설 설치를 위한 최적후보지가 선정되었으며, 마지막으로 법적분석에서는 탄소 저장과 관련된 현행 규정 및 탄소 저장시설의 설비 시 문제가 될 수 있는 각종 법적 사항을 조사하였다.

In this study, We had surface-treated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) for improving hydrogen storage capacity. The SWNTs were treated by heat treatment, acid treatment and fluorinated at various temperatures. The SWNTs were characterized by Raman spectroscopy and TEM and estimated hydrogen storage capacities at 303K. As shown Raman spectra and TEM images, the structure of fluorinated SWNTs were stable at 423K but changed to the MWNTs-like structure or onion structure over 523K. Hydrogen storage capacity of SWNTs fluorinated at 423K was remarkably increased 2.6 times than that of pristine SWNTs. For SWNTs fluorinated at 573K, the amount of hydrogen adsorbed wasn't increased compared with SWNTs fluorinated at 423K. Therefore, high hydrogen storage capacity of SWNTs could be archived by fluorinated condition at 423K, which was not changed SWNT structure.

Biomass waste-derived carbon is an attractive alternative with environmental benignity to obtain carbon material. In this study, we prepare carbon from coffee grounds as a biomass precursor using a simple, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly method through physical activation using only steam. The coffee-derived carbon, having a micropore-rich structure and a low extent of graphitization of disordered carbon, is developed and directly applied to lithium-ion battery anode material. Compared with the introduction of the Ketjenblack (KB) conducting agent (i.e., coffee-derived carbon with KB), the coffee-derived carbon itself achieves a reversible capacity of ~200 mAh/g (0.54 lithium per 6 carbons) at a current density of 100 mA/g after 100 cycles, along with excellent cycle stability. The origin of highly reversible lithium storage is attributed to the consistent diffusion-controlled intercalation/de-intercalation reaction in cycle life, which suggests that the bulk diffusion of lithium is favorable in the coffee-derived carbon itself, in the absence of a conducting agent. This study presents the preparation of carbon material through physical activation without the use of chemical activation agents and demonstrates an application of coffee-derived carbon in energy storage devices.

In this study, in order to easily provide functional groups on the surface of carbon nanotubes, dual structural multiwalled carbon nanotubes which have crystalline graphite and turbostratic carbon wall were synthesized by modified vertical thermal decomposition method. Synthesized dual structural MWCNTs were characterized by FE-SEM, TGA, HR-TEM, Raman spectroscopy and BET specific surface area analyzer. The average innermost and outermost diameters of the synthesized nanotubes were around 45 and 75 nm, respectively. The large empty inner space and the presence of graphitic carbons on the surface may open potential applications for gas storage and collection of hazardous materials.

A simulation method is proposed to study the amorphous structure of carbon nitride. The material properties of a non-uniform nitrogen distribution in an amorphous CN matrix can be studied. The cohesive energy of a group of randomly generated atoms can be minimized to find the relative positions of atoms. From the calculated configuration of atoms, many properties of amorphous carbon nitride can be calculated such as bulk modulus, P-V curve, sp$^3$/sp$^2$ ratio of carbon, and vibrational spectra. The calculation shows that the cohesive energy of non-uniform nitrogen distribution is lower than that of a uniform distribution. This may suggest that the regular structure of carbon nitride can at most be metastable. It is not easy to incorporate nitrogen atoms into a carbon matrix.

Biochar obtained from the thermal conversion of biomass has high potential as a substitute material for activated carbon and other carbon-based materials because it is economical, environmentally friendly, and carbon-neutral. The physicochemical properties of biochar can also be controlled by a range of activation methods such as physical, chemical, and hydrothermal treatments. Activated biochar can be used as a catalyst for the catalytic pyrolysis of a biomass and as an absorbent for the removal of heavy metal ions and atmospheric pollutants. The applications of biochar are also expanding not only as a key component in producing energy storage materials, such as supercapacitors, lithium ion batteries, and fuel cells, but also in carbon capture and storage. This paper reviews the recent progress on the activation of biochar and its diverse present and future applications.

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.

Novel unsaturated polyester composites with PAN-based nanofiber, stabilized PAN nanofiber, and carbonized nanofiber webs have been fabricated, respectively, and the effects of the nanofiber web content on their electrical resistivity, the thermal stability, dynamic storage modulus, and fracture surfaces were studied. The result demonstrated that the introduction of just one single layer (which is corresponding to 2 wt.%) of the carbonized nanofiber web to unsaturated polyester resin (UPE) could contribute to reducing markedly the electrical resistivity of the resin reflecting the percolation threshold, to improving the storage modulus, and to increasing the thermal stability above $350^{\circ}C$. The effect on decreasing the resistivity and increasing the modulus was the greatest at the carbonized PAN nanofiber web content of 8 wt.%, particularly showing that the storage modulus was increased about 257~283% in the measuring temperature range of $-25^{\circ}C$ to $50^{\circ}C$. The result also exhibited that the carbonized PAN nanofibers were distributed uniformly and compactly in the unsaturated polyester, connecting the matrix three-dimensionally through the thickness direction of each specimen. It seemed that such the fiber distribution played a role in reducing the electrical resistivity as well as in improving the dynamic storage modulus.

산림은 탄소저장능력이 있어 대표적인 온실가스인 이산화탄소를 저감시킨다. 따라서 산림의 탄소저장능력 특성을 규명하고 그것을 산림경영에 반영함으로써 온실가스 저감이라는 국제적 노력에 동참하는 수단으로 활용할 수 있다. 일반적으로 임분에서의 탄소저장능력(Carbon Storage, CS)은 식생탄소저장능력(Vegetation Carbon Storage, VCS)과 토양탄소저장능력(Soil Carbon Storage, SCS)의 합으로 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 대표적인 자생수종인 소나무림 VCS의 공간분포를 지엽적 범위(spot level)에서 광역적 범위(regional level)로 확대하여 그 특성을 규명하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 지엽적 범위의 조사 및 연구에서 VCS는 임목의 흉고직경(Diameter at Breast Height)과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 관계와 Quickbird 고해상도 위성영상에서 추출한 소나무림 공간분포도를 이용해 경관범위(landscape level)에서 소나무림 탄소저장능력의 공간분포를 추정할 수 있었으며,그 결과를GIS 및 RS를 통해 광역적 범위로 확대하였다.

Terrestrial water storage (TWS) includes all components of water (e.g., surface water, groundwater, snow and ice) over the land. So accurately predicting and estimating TWS is important in water resource management. Although many land surface models are used to predict the TWS, model output has errors and biases in comparison to the observation data due to the model deficiencies in the model structure, atmospheric forcing datasets, and parameters. In this study, Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) satelite TWS data is assimilated in the Community Land Model version 5 with a biogeochemistry module (CLM5.0-BGC) over East Asia from 2003 to 2010 by employing the Ensemble Adjustment Kalman Filter (EAKF). Results showed that TWS over East Asia continued to decrease during the study period, and the ability to simulate the surface water storage, which is the component of the CLM derived TWS, was greatly improved. We further investigated the impact of assimilated TWS on the vegetated and carbon related variables, including the leaf area index and primary products of ecosystem. We also evaluated the simulated total ecosystem carbon and calculated its correlation with TWS. This study shows that how the better simulated TWS plays a role in capturing not only water but also carbon fluxes and states.
