It was found that the adsorption of a cobalt(III) complex with a macrocyclic ligand, C-meso-5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (hmc), was induced on a glassy carbon electrode by heavily oxidizing the electrode surface. Adsorption properties are discussed. The glassy carbon electrode with the adsorbed complex was employed to see the catalytic activities for the electro-reduction of O2. In the presence of oxygen, reduction of (hmc)Co3+ showed two cathodic waves in cyclic voltammetry. Compared to the edge plane graphite electrode at which two cathodic waves were also observed in a previous study, catalytic reduction of O2 occurred in the potential region of the first wave while it happened in the second wave region with the other electrode. A rotating disk electrode after the same treatment was employed to study the mechanism of the O2 reduction and two-electron reduction of O2 was observed. The difference from the previous results was explained by the different reactivity of the (hmc)CoOOH2+ intermediate, which is produced after the two electron reduction of (hmc)Co3+ in the presence of O2.

This study was carried out to quantify degree of contribution of harvested wood product (HWP) on mitigation of climate change by valuation of public benefits, environmentally and economically. The potential carbon dioxide emission reduction of HWP was estimated by accounting carbon storage effect and substitution effect. Based on 2014 statistics of Korea Forest Service, domestic HWPs were sorted by two categories, such as wood products produced domestically from domestic and imported roundwood. The wood products were divided into seven items; sawnwood, plywood, particle board, fiberboard (MDF), paper (including pulp), biomass (wood pellet) and other products. The carbon stock of wood products and substitution effects during manufacturing process was evaluated by items. Based on the relevant carbon emission factor and life cycle analysis, the amount of carbon dioxide emission per unit volume on HWP was quantified. The amounts of carbon stock of HWP produced from domestic and from imported roundwood were 3.8 million $tCO_{2eq}$., and 2.6 million $tCO_{2eq}$., respectively. Also, each reduction of carbon emission by substitution effect of HWP produced from domestic and imported roundwood was 3.1 million $tCO_{2eq}$. and 2.1 million $tCO_{2eq}$., respectively. The results of this study, the amount of carbon emission reduction of HWP, can be effectively used as a basic data for promotion of wood utilization to revise and establish new wood utilization promotion policy such as 'forest carbon offset scheme', and 'carbon storage labeling system of HWP'.

Since the Kyoto Protocol was released in 2005, there has been a number of mechanisms about funding and how to allocate the burdens. The UNFCCC(United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change)have discussed establishing an international fund to support the reduction of a greenhouse gas. As the availability of adaption finance for developing countries increase, it's needed for a way of prioritizing countries. This article analyzes the carbon reduction system that includes a emission trading scheme, a carbon tax and examines GCF(Green Climate Fund)'s role and needs. A solution to finance Green Climate Fund is more preferred a harmonized carbon tax that across all nations with carbon tax. Especially the role of industrialized countries is important that based on their historical responsibility for fossil fuel emission. That is, they should get more shares of the global costs than developing countries.

Carbon-nickel nanocomposites were prepared by the reaction of fullerene ($C_{60}$) and nickel hydroxide in an electric furnace at $700^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. The hybrid carbon-nickel nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The kinetics and catalytic activity of the carbon-nickel nanocomposites in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol were confirmed by UV-vis spectroscopy.

While there a growing interest in Voluntary Carbon Disclosure (VCD), comparatively little is discussed whether the improved quality of voluntary carbon disclosure can lead to subsequent changes in a company's carbon reduction performance. Drawing on companies under the Korean Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) with the contents analysis of their sustainable reports, the present research seeks to address the existing knowledge gaps in the current literature on environmental disclosure. Findings empirically show that an increase in the voluntary carbon disclosure score is positively transformed into changes in carbon performance and further develop that the effect of voluntary carbon disclosure on carbon performance varies depending on changes in management capability with the moderation effect.

금속실리콘을 제조하는 방법에는 탄소환원법, 플라즈마환원법, 테르밋반응 등이 있다. 상업용 금속실리콘을 대량 생산하는 방법으로 탄소환원법에 의한 아크전기로가 일반적으로 많이 사용되고 있다. 아크전기로를 이용한 생산시스템이 극복해야 할 문제로는 제조원가 중 전력비 비율이 30%를 차지할 정도로 높은 전기에너지 비용과 환경방지 시설구축 및 유지관리비용이다. 이러한 이유로 국내에서는 아직 아크전기로를 이용한 생산시스템이 상용화 제조시스템으로 구축되지 못하고 있다. 기업 및 연구기관에서 탄소환원법의 아크전기로를 이용하여 최적 생산시스템을 연구하고 있다. 세 가지 유형의 이산화규소를 테르밋반응을 통하여 순도변화를 알 수 있었다. 그리고 실험분석에서 테르밋반응을 사용하여 이산화규소 순도로 금속실리콘 순도 변화를 분석하였다. 이산화규소 순도와 금속실리콘 순도는 밀접한 관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

페로브스카이트 ($La_{0.9}$$Sr_{0.1}$$CuO_3$) 전극을 이용하여 이산화탄소를 메탄올, 에탄올등의 알콜류와 아세트 알데히드로 전해환원하였다. 전해환원 실험은 전류밀도 100mA/c$m^2$ 그리고 환원 전위 -2 to -2.5 V vs. Ag/AgCl에서 수행하였다. 실험결과 메탄올은 11.6%, 에탄올은 15.3% 그리고 아세트알데히드는 6.2 %의 최고효율을 나타내었다. 따라서 페로브스카이트 전극은 알콜생성 면에서 기타 다른 금속전극에 비하여 매우 우수한 효과를 보여주었다.

Carbon fiber sheet is attractive due to its good tensile strength, resistance to corrosion, and low weight. The strengthening of concrete structures with externally bonded carbon fiber sheets is increasingly being used for repair and rehabilitation of existing structures. However CFS strengthened beams break down under the service loads. As rupture strain is not reached ultimate value, reduction of the tensile strength is recommended. This study evaluate CFS tensile strength reduction factor which is required to analyze bending moment.

Electrochemical reduction of oxygen has been carried out at glassy carbon electrode and carbon ultramicroelectrode, the surface of which is modified with a new Co(Ⅱ)-Schiff base complex, Co(Ⅱ)-3,4-bis(salicylidene diimine)toluene in 1 M KOH solution. The results obtained from cyclic voltammetric and chronoamperometric experiments are consistent with the formation of the reasonably stable superoxide ions as a primary electron transfer reaction product. The exchange rate constant obtained for oxygen reduction is about 0.02 cm/s.
