Various carbon upcycling technologies have been proposed and are under development to achieve Korea's carbon neutrality target. Many chemical reactions are under development through various chemical reaction pathways, and different technological maturity levels are shown for each country and company. In this situation, it is essential to establish investment decisions such as research funds and human resources allocation through technological and economic analysis for close commercialization technologies and basic technologies with low technology readiness levels (TRL). Therefore, in this study, the technology development priority for developing carbon upcycling items was selected according to the domestic Carbon Capture & Utilization (CCU) technology roadmap using the stakeholder selection tool released by EU CarbonNext. As a result of the analysis, the TRL level of Korea's major carbon upcycling technologies was analyzed to be lower than that of other carbon resource technologies, and it was considered desirable to invest in mineral carbonization technologies among various candidate technologies.

본 연구에서는 리그닌 기반 폴리아크릴로나이트릴(polyacrylonitrile, PAN) 공중합체를 전기방사하여 나노탄소섬유 매트를 제조한 다음, 에폭시 수지를 보강하여 제조한 복합재료의 열적 특성 및 기계적 강도를 조사하였다. 나노탄소섬유 매트/에폭시 복합재는 에폭시 수지와 유사한 열분해 거동을 보이고 있는 반면에 유리전이온도는 $106.9^{\circ}C$로 순수에폭시 수지의 유리전이온도($T_g$) $90.7^{\circ}C$보다 다소 높은 경향으로 나타나 열적 안정성이 향상된 결과로 사료된다. 리그닌 기반 공중합체 및 순수 PAN으로 만든 나노탄소섬유 매트의 인장강도는 각각 7.2 및 9.4 MPa로 나타났으며, 리그닌 기반 나노탄소섬유 매트/에폭시 복합재료의 인장강도는 43.0 MPa로 나타났다. 이는 나노탄소섬유 매트/에폭시 복합재료에서 에폭시 수지 매트릭스(matrix) 내에서 나노탄소섬유가 강화제(reinforcing filler)로 작용한 효과로 약 6배의 인장강도 향상을 보였다. 인장강도 측정 후 시편의 절단면에서 나노탄소섬유 자체의 높은 인장강도(478.8 MPa) 및 에폭시 수지와의 약한 계면접착성에 기인하는 나노섬유의 뽑힘현상이 관찰되었다.

A multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/graphene (GR) composite was synthesized for an enhanced supercapacitor. Aerosol spray pyrolysis (ASP) was employed to synthesize the MWCNT/GR composites using a colloidal mixture of MWCNT and graphene oxide (GO). The effect of the weight ratio of the MWCNT/GO on the particle properties including the morphology and layered structure were investigated. The morphology of MWCNT/GR composites was generally the shape of a crumpled paper ball, and the average composite size was about $5{\mu}m$. MWCNT were uniformly dispersed in GR sheets and the MWCNT not only increase the basal spacing but also bridge the defects for electron transfer between GR sheets. Thus, it was increasing electrolyte/electrode contact area and facilitating transportation of electrolyte ion and electron in the electrode. Electrochemical data demonstrate that the MWCNT/GR (weight ratio=0.1) composite possesses a specific capacitance of 192 F/g at 0.1 A/g and good rate capability (88% capacity retention at 4 A/g) using two-electrode testing system.

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.

Glycerol has become an attractive carbon source in the biotechnology industry owing to its low price and reduced state. However, glycerol is rarely used as a carbon source in Saccharomyces cerevisiae because of its low utilization rate. In this study, we used glycerol as a main carbon source in S. cerevisiae to produce 1,2-propanediol. Metabolically engineered S. cerevisiae strains with overexpression of glycerol dissimilation pathway genes, including glycerol kinase (GUT1), glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GUT2), glycerol dehydrogenase (gdh), and a glycerol transporter gene (GUP1), showed increased glycerol utilization and growth rate. More significant improvement of glycerol utilization and growth rate was accomplished by introducing 1,2-propanediol pathway genes, mgs (methylglyoxal synthase) and gldA (glycerol dehydrogenase) from Escherichia coli. By engineering both glycerol dissimilation and 1,2-propanediol pathways, the glycerol utilization and growth rate were improved 141% and 77%, respectively, and a 2.19 g 1,2- propanediol/l titer was achieved in 1% (v/v) glycerolcontaining YEPD medium in engineered S. cerevisiae.

The taxonomic and functional characteristics of bacterial communities in the pre-chlorinated rapid filters and ozonated biological activated carbon (BAC) filters were compared using Illumina MiSeq sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene and community-level physiological profiling (CLPP) based on sole-carbon-source utilization patterns. Both the rapid filters and BAC filters were dominated by Rhizobiales within ${\alpha}-proteobacteria$, but other abundant orders and genera were significantly different in both types of filter. Firmicutes were abundant only in the intermediate chlorinated rapid filter, while Acidobacteria were abundant only in the BAC filters. Bacterial communities in the rapid filter showed high utilization of carbohydrates, while those in the BAC filters showed high utilization of polymers and carboxylic acids. These different characteristics of the bacterial communities could be related to the different substrates in the influents, filling materials, and residual disinfectants. Chlorination and ozonation inactivated the existing bacteria in the influent and formed different bacterial communities, which could be resistant to the oxidants and effectively utilize different substrates produced by the oxidant, including Phreatobacter in the rapid filters and Hyphomicrobium in the BAC filters. Bradyrhizobium and Leptothrix, which could utilize compounds adsorbed on the GAC, were abundant in the BAC filters. Ozonation increased taxonomic diversity but decreased functional diversity of the bacterial communities in the BAC filters. This study provides some new insights into the effects of oxidation processes and filling materials on the bacterial community structure in the biological filters of drinking water treatment plants.

'15년 12월 유엔기후변화협약 당사국총회(COP21)의 "파리 협정"을 통해 신기후체제가 출범되었다. 본 협정의 핵심은 지구 평균기온 상승을 산업화 이전 대비 $2^{\circ}C$ 목표를 넘어, $1.5^{\circ}C$로 제한하기 위한 노력에 합의 되었다는 데 있으며 이에 따라 우리나라에서도 온실가스 감출을 위한 대책 마련이 시급한 상황이다. IEA 에너지기술전망에 따르면 '12년 기준 전세계 $CO_2$ 배출량의 2/3가 에너지 분야에서 발생하여 청정에너지기술 개발이 핵심이며, 단기적으로 에너지원 대체, 에너지효율개선 기술 도입이 최선, 장기적으로는 CCS(Carbon Capture & Storage) 등의 기술도입이 필수적인 상황이다. 이와 함께 최근에는 온실가스 저감을 위한 방안으로 $CO_2$ 활용(CCU, Carbon Capture & Utilization) 기술개발도 부각 되고 있다. CCU 기술은 우리나라와 같이 포집된 $CO_2$의 저장을 위한 EOR 사업이나 대규모 저장소 확보에 어려움이 있는 상황에서 종래 CCS의 기술적 대안이 될 수 있다. 뿐만 아니라 CCU 기술은 $CO_2$ 전환 물질의 산업적 활용을 통해 종래 제기된 고비용의 $CO_2$ 저감 비용을 줄일 수 있다. 이에 국제적으로 다수의 $CO_2$ 활용기술이 상업생산을 위한 실증단계에 진입하고 있으며, 국내에서도 $CO_2$ 자원화/광물화를 포함한 다양한 $CO_2$ 활용기술의 개발 및 사업화 노력이 필요하다.

The advanced method for $CO_2$capture is currently one of the most important environmental issues in worldwide and it is therefore necessary to have available technologies, which minimize the discharge of $CO_2$ including Carbon-14 from nuclear facilities into the atmosphere. A key aspect of this work is to provide the technically principal data required to improve a $CO_2$ removal system for the utilization of regenerative sorbent use, specifically include suggestions regarding its modified column design (parallel dual-bed assembly), stop-restart operation and the economic feasibility of sorbent use. The removal performance of soda lime and the effects of relative humidity (RH) and packing bed-depth (BD) on $CO_2$ removal were investigated. In a single-bed, it revealed that the utilization of soda lime for $CO_2$ removal at line velocity of 13 cm/sec and bed depth of 12 cm increased with the increased relative humidity up to 85%. However, in the parallel dual-bed assembly applied with the stop-restart operation, a maximum utilization rate of soda lime for $CO_2$ removal was obtained even at 55% of RH and 8 cm of BD, specifically the utilization rate of soda lime by using this $CO_2$ removal assembly was about two-fold superior to that in a single-bed.
