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.

Yellow croaker Larimichthys polyactis muscle oil was extracted using an environmental friendly solvent, supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-$CO_2$), in a semi-batch flow extraction process. SC-$CO_2$ was applied at temperature $35^{\circ}C$ to $45^{\circ}C$ and $150^{\circ}C$ to $250^{\circ}C$ bar of pressure. The flow rate of $CO_2$ (27.79 g/min) was constant throughout the entire 1.5 h extraction period. The oil extraction yield was influenced by the physical properties of SC-$CO_2$ at different temperatures and pressures. The extracted oil was analyzed by gas chromatography to determine the fatty acid composition. According to our results, the SC-$CO_2$ extracted oil was high in eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. In addition, the SC-$CO_2$ extracted oil showed greater stability than n-hexane extracted oil based on the peroxide value and acid value. Thus, the quality of yellow croaker oil obtained by SC-$CO_2$ extraction was slightly higher than that of oil obtained by n-hexane extraction.

Propylene Carbonate (PC) has the interesting properties of being able to dissolve and dissociate lithium salts, thus leading to highly conducting electrolytes even at low temperatures. Moreover, electrolytes that contain PC are stable against oxidation at voltages up to ~5 V. However, it is known that, when lithium is intercalated into graphite in pure PC based electrolytes, solvent co-intercalation occurs, leading to the destruction of the graphite structure. (i.e., exfoliation). The objective of this study was to suppress PC decomposition and prevent exfoliation of the graphite anode by co-intercalation. Electrochemical characteristics were studied using Kawasaki mesophase fine carbon (KMFC) in different 1 M $LiPF_6$/PC-based electrolytes. Electrochemical experiments were completed using chronopotentiometry, cyclic voltammetry, impedance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. From the observed results, we conclude that the MA and $Li_2CO_3$ additive suppressed co-intercalation of the PC electrolyte into the graphite anode. The use of additives, for reducing the extent of solvent decomposition before exfoliation of the graphite anode, could therefore enhance the stability of a KMFC electrode.

단일 노즐을 이용하는 $CO_2$ 포집용 분무탑의 기본적 특성을 실험적으로 구하였다. 다양한 조건 - 주입 기체 유량 및 농도, 주입 흡수제 유량 및 농도 등 - 에서 얻어진 포집성능을 포집효율 뿐만 아니라 재생에너지의 주요 결정요인인 $CO_2$ 포화도 측면에서 검토하였다. 다양한 조건들에서의 포집효율 변화는 흡수제($NH_3$)와 $CO_2$의 상대적 유량비만의 단조증가함수로 잘 표현되었다. 포집후의 흡수제의 $CO_2$ 포화도 또한 $NH_3/CO_2$ 유량비만의 함수로 잘 정리가 되었으나, 포집효율과는 다르게 단조감소함수를 보였으며, 특히 $CO_2$ 포화도와 포집효율과의 상관관계를 보면 기존의 모든 연구들에서 포집효율이 증가할수록 $CO_2$ 포화도가 감소하였다. $CO_2$ 포화도는 낮은 포집효율 조건에서 최대 20-25% 수준이었으나, 90% 이상의 고효율에서는 10% 미만으로 매우 낮았다. 이는 높은 포집효율을 위해 사용되는 흡수제의 양이 과도하며, 다시 재생에너지가 과도하게 필요함을 의미한다.

Co(II)-tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine (CoTSP) is known to be aggregated to dimer at high concentration levels in water. A study on the aggregation of CoTSP using multivariate curve resolution analysis of the visible absorbance spectra over a concentration range of 30, 40 and 50 ${\mu}M$ in the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), dimethyl formamide (DMF), acetonitrile (AN) and ethanol (EtOH) in the concentration range of 0 to 3.57 M is conducted. A hard modeling-based multivariate curve resolution method was applied to determine the dissociation constants of the CoTSP aggregates at various temperatures ranging from 25, 45 and $65^{\circ}C$ and in the presence of various co-solvents. Dissociation constant for aggregation was increased and then decrease by temperature and concentration of phthalocyanine, respectively. Utilizing the vant Hoff relation, the enthalpy and entropy of the dissociation equilibriums were calculated. For the dissociation of both aggregates, the enthalpy and entropy changes were positive and negative, respectively. Molecular dynamics simulation of cosolvent effect on CoTSP aggregation was done to confirm spectroscopy results. Results of radial distribution function (RDF), root mean square deviation (RMSD) and distance curves confirmed more effect of polar solvent to decrease monomer formation.

In this study, as a candidate of the carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) absorbents, the mixture solution of polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether (PEGDME) and tetrahydrofuran (THF) were investigated. $CO_2$ absorption rate was measured by using high pressure $CO_2$ screening equipment in the range of 1 - 10wt% THF. Absorption capacity of the mixture solution was also estimated. Based on the results, we found that mixture solution containing THF had higher absorption rate and $CO_2$ loading capacity compared to PEGDME at $25^{\circ}C$.

For the pervaporation of water-ethanol mixtures, new composite membranes having poly(acrylic acid)-poly (butyl methacrylate-co-methyl methacrylate) interpenetrati ng polymer network [PAA-P(BMA-co-MMA) IPN] skin layer supported on porous and crosslinked poly(BMA-co-MMA) were prepared. The morphology of the sub-layer of the composite membrane prepared in the presence of 60 wt% solvent showed cellular structure, on the other hand that of sublayer prepared in the presence of 70 wt% solvent presented very porous interconnected pore structure with macrovoids. Permeation rates of the composite membranes were largely influenced by the morphology of the sublayer. Separation factors increased with the increase of the degree of crosslinking of the PAA network. It was found that permeation rates could be increased by introducing anionic charges on carboxyl groups of the PAA. The permeation rate changes of the PAA-P(BMA-co-MMA) IPN composite membranes according to the feed compositions showed quite similar pattern with the swelling behavior in water-ethanol mixtures.

촉매로서 Hg$^{2+}$을 사용한 수화반응에서 cis-[Co(en)$_2$(OH$_2$)Cl]$^{2+}$, [Co(NH$_3$)$_5$Cl]$^{2+}$, cis-[Co(NH$_3$)$_4$(OH$_2$)Cl]$^{2+}$ 및 [Co(NH$_2$CH$_3$)$_5$Cl]$^{2+}$착물들은 Hg$^{2+}$의 농도가 증가할수록 관측속도상수(k$_{obs}$)의 값이 증가하였다. Hg$^{2+}$에 의한 수화반응의 속도법칙은 Rate = k$_2$K[complex][Hg$^{2+}$]이었고, 그 메카니즘이 연구되었다. 또한 여러가지 유기용매-물 혼합용매에서 Co(Ⅲ)착물의 Hg$^{2+}$에 의한 수화반응이 연구되었다. 용매의 성질인 Y (solvent ionizing power)값에 대한 log k를 도시하여 그 기울기인 m값을 얻었다. 그 m값으로부터 수화반응의 메카니즘을 추정하였다. 속도론적인 자료로부터 Hg$^{2+}$에 의한 Co(Ⅲ)착물의 수화반응이 I$_{d^-}$메카니즘으로 제안되었다. 각 Co(Ⅲ)착물의 속도의 차이는 여러가지 리간드가 배위된 Co(Ⅲ)착물의 리간드장파라메타(${\Delta}$)값과 관계가 있었다.

본 논문에서는 Pebax-2533 판형 분리막을 1-프로판올과 n-부탄올 혼합용매를 이용하여 용해, 건조하여 제조하였고 time-lag 장치를 이용하여 $CO_2$, $N_2$ 투과특성을 평가하였다. 제조된 분리막은 평가조건에 따라서 130-288 barrer의 $CO_2$ 투과율을 가졌으며, $CO_2/N_2$ 투과선택도는 5-8이었다. Time-lag 장치의 주입부 압력이 증가함에 따라서, 투과온도가 낮아짐에 따라서, 그리고 혼합용매의 n-부탄올 양이 증가함에 따라서 $CO_2$ 투과도는 감소하였다. 이러한 실험 자료는 Pebax-2533 분리막의 $CO_2$ 투과율이 $CO_2$ 용해에 매우 의존할 것이라 예측과 달리, $CO_2$ 용해뿐만 아니라 $CO_2$ 확산도 매우 중요한 단계임을 의미하였다.
