The role of moisture absorptive capacity of pre-silage material and its relationship with silage effluent in high moisture by-product feedstuffs (HMBF) is assessed. The term water retention capacity which is sometimes used in explaining the rate of effluent control in ensilage may be inadequate, since it accounts exclusively for the capacity of an absorbent incorporated into a pre-silage material prior to ensiling, without consideration to how much the pre-silage material can release. A new terminology, 'potential water retention capacity' (PWRC), which attempts to address this shortcoming, is proposed. Data were pooled from a series of experiments conducted separately over a period of five years using laboratory silos with four categories of agro by-products (n = 27) with differing moisture contents (highest 96.9%, lowest 78.1% in fresh matter, respectively), and their silages (n = 81). These were from a vegetable source (Daikon, Raphanus sativus), a root tuber source (potato pulp), a fruit source (apple pomace) and a cereal source (brewer's grain), respectively. The pre-silage materials were adjusted with dry in-silo absorbents consisting wheat straw, wheat or rice bran, beet pulp and bean stalks. The pooled mean for the moisture contents of all pre-silage materials was 78.3% (${\pm}10.3$). Silage effluent decreased (p<0.01), with increase in PWRC of pre-silage material. The theoretical moisture content and PWRC of pre-silage material necessary to stem effluent flow completely in HMBF silage was 69.1% and 82.9 g/100 g in fresh matter, respectively. The high correlation (r = 0.76) between PWRC of ensiled material and silage effluent indicated that the latter is an important factor in silage-effluent relationship.

An Absorbent Biofilter System (ABS) combined with the recirculation process was investigated for the feasible application in additional removing of organics (BOD, SS) as well as nutrients (TN, TP) from small Community wastewater in Korea. Polyurethane biofilter media with high porosity and large surface area were /used for the aerobic system. A part of treated wastewater was recirculated into the anoxic septic tank to promote removal of nutrients. The concentrations of BOD and SS of treated wastewater satisfied the regulations for small on-site wastewater treatment facility (10 mg/L) during the overall experimental period. The effluent concentrations of BOD and SS were decreased with enhancement of removal efficiencies of 95.7 and $96.7\%$. The nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiencies by the recirculation increased to $52.9\%\;and\;43.2\%$ in average during the overall experimental period, respectively. With the improvement, these values were increased as much as additional 42 and $18\%$ compared with those of non-recirculation. The rates of nitrification and denitrification were enhanced showing $65\~77\%\;and\;42\~92\%$, respectively. The described process modification is a low cost and effective method of enhancing nitrogen and phosphorus removal, especially on existing systems without changing major design components of a treatment facility.

To check the feasibility of SMART(Steam Methane Advanced Reforming Technology) system, an experimental investigation was performed. A fluidized bed reactor of diameter 0.052m was operated cyclically up to 10th cycle, alternating between reforming and regeneration conditions. FCR-4 catalyst was used as the reforming catalyst and calcined limestone(domestic, from Danyang) was used as the $CO_2$ absorbent. Hydrogen concentration of 98.2% on a dry basis was reached at $650^{\circ}C$ for the first cycle. This value is much higher than $H_2$ concentration of 73.6% in the reformer of conventional SMR (steam methane reforming) condition. The hydrogen concentration decreased because the $CO_2$ capture capacity decreased as the number of cycles increased. However, the average hydrogen concentration at 10th cycle was 82.5% and this value is also higher than that of SMR. Based on these results, we could conclude that the SMART system can replace SMR system to generate pure hydrogen without HTS (high tempeature shift), LTS (low temperature shift) and $CO_2$ separation process.

본 연구는 실리카 에어로겔-펄프 복합체의 특성을 조사하였다. Paste 형태의 실리카 에어로겔과 펄프를 혼합하여 복합체를 제조하였으며, SEM 분석을 실시하였다. 또한 임피던스 튜브를 사용하여 흡음률을 측정하였다. 흡음계수의 피크치는 900 Hz 범위에서 얻어졌다. 실리카 에어로겔-펄프 혼합체는 우수한 흡음성능과 복합체의 표면이 소수성을 띠기 때문에 기인하는 내구성 때문에 새로운 흡음제의 가능성이 있다고 사료된다.

In order to apply the photocatalytic decomposition of aromatic VOCs, adsorbent prepared from MSWI fly ash was coated by $TiO_2$ solution to endow with photo-catalytic function. The effects of coating number, existence of light source and the type of $TiO_2$ solution used for coating were examined. Adsorbent coated with amorphous $TiO_2$ solution showed higher adsorptivity than adsorbent coated with crystal $TiO_2$ solution. Without light source, breakthrough curve of photo -catalyst absorbent for VOCs removal was similar to that of absorbent made from MSWI fly ash. On the other hand, breakthrough time was enlarged with light source and total removal efficiency of benzene and toluene was also increased. It can be explained as photo-decomposition effect of $TiO_2$ photo-catalyst. Total removal efficiency of benzene and toluene was increased according to the increase of coating number with light source. It was due to the effect of adsorption and photo reaction of photo-catalytic adsorbent. But total removal efficiency of benzene was lower than that of toluene. Because benzene was removed more effectively than toluene by adsorption, but photo - decomposition effect oi toluene was more high than benzene.

To find the optimum mixing ratio of WGS catalyst with $CO_2$ absorbent for SEWGS process, water gas shift reaction tests were carried out in a fluidized bed reactor using commercial WGS catalyst and sand (as a substitute for $CO_2$ absorbent). WGS catalyst content, gas velocity, and steam/CO ratio were considered as experimental variables. CO conversion increased as the catalyst content increased during water gas shift reaction. Variations of the CO conversion with the catalyst content were small at low gas velocity. However, those variations increased at higher gas velocity. Within experimental range of this study, the optimum operating condition(steam/CO ratio=3, gas velocity = 0.03 m/s, catalyst content=10 wt.%) to get high CO conversion and $CO_2$ capture efficiency was confirmed. Moreover, long time water gas shift reaction tests up to 20 hours were carried out for two cases (catalyst content = 10 and 20 wt.%) and we could conclude that the WGS reactivity at those conditions was maintained up to 20 hours.

바이오 가스로부터 바이오 메탄을 생산하기 위해 물리흡수제 특성평가 및 $CO_2/CH_4$흡수 연구를 진행하였고, poly-propylene(PP) 중공사막 막접촉기에 적용해보았다. 물리흡수제 중 propylene carbonate (PC)는 PP 중공사막과 가장 높은 $58.3^{\circ}$ 접촉각을 보였고, 5 wt% PC를 물과 혼합할 경우 $90^{\circ}$ 이상의 접촉각이 관찰되었다. 또한 $CO_2$ 흡수실험에서 PC/물 혼합 흡수제는 물 흡수량(0.121 mmol/g) 보다 높은 0.148-0.157 mmol/g의 흡수량을 보이며, 막접촉기에 가장 적합한 물리흡수제로 선정되었다. PC/물 혼합 흡수제를 막접촉기에 적용 후 얻어진 $CO_2$ 제거율(98.0-97.8%)과 $CH_4$ 순도(98.5-98.3%)는 바이오 메탄으로서 매우 높은 가능성을 보여주었다. 하지만 PC/물 혼합 흡수제의 경우에는 물 흡수제와 비교하여 성능 변화가 매우 미비하였다. 이는 물보다 우수한 PC 흡수능과 함께 그에 따른 막접촉기 탈기 막 모듈 및 시스템 개선과 공급 유량 조절을 통해 $CH_4$ 손실 최소화 등 공정 최적화가 필요한 것으로 분석된다.

이 연구의 목적은 내부양생을 위한 고흡수성 수지(SAP)의 혼입이 초고성능 콘크리트(UHPC)의 수화특성, 자기수축, 내구성 및 역학적 특성에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것이다. 이를 위해 입도범위는 유사하지만 화학적 구조가 다른 2 종류의 SAP이 선택되었고, 이러한 SAP이 혼입된 UHPC의 성능이 실험을 통해 평가되었다. 평가결과는 SAP의 종류, 그리고 혼입 여부에 따라 비교되었다. 수화반응성과 수화생성물 확인을 위해 등온열량계 및 XRD를 이용한 실험이 각각 진행되었고, 이 실험을 통해 초기 재령일에서 수화반응성 및 장기 재령일에서의 수화생성물을 확인하였다. UHPC의 수축저감제로서 SAP의 적용 가능성을 확인하기 위해 자기수축 변형율, 압축강도 및 염분침투성을 측정하였다. 또한, SEM 이미지 촬영을 통해 SAP이 UHPC 내부에서 형성한 공극을 실제로 확인하고 분석하였다. 이러한 분석 및 평가결과를 통해, SAP을 이용한 내부양생은 역학적 성능과 내구성 저하 없이 UHPC의 자기수축을 저감시킬 수 있다는 결론을 내렸다. 실험에 사용된 두 종류의 SAP 중에서, UHPC 내부에서 흡수력이 더 우수한 SAP_AM이 SAP_AA 보다 수축저감성능 뿐만 아니라, 장기적인 수화반응성, 압축강도, 염분침투 저항력에서도 성능이 더 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 CH4/CO2 혼합가스에서 CO2 분리를 위해 세라믹 중공사 접촉막 모듈(HFMC)을 이용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 고 내구성의 HFMC를 제작하기 위해, 고강도의 중공사막을 제조하여 평가하였다. 제조한 중공사막을 이용하여 HFMC를 제작하였고, 실험은 CH4/CO2 혼합 기체(30% CO2, CH4 balance)와 monoethanolamine (MEA)를 사용하였다. HFMC 운전 중 기체와 흡수제의 압력이 CO2 제거 효율에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 평가하였다. CO2 제거 효율은 기체압력이 증가함에 따라 같이 상승하였으며, CO2 흡수 flux 또한 액체유량과 함께 증가하는 추세를 보였다. 또한 CO2 흡수율이 40% 이하일 때는 흡수제가 아래쪽에서 들어가는 향류형태인 LTS-1이 흡수제가 위쪽에서 들어가는 향류형태인 LTS-2보다 CO2 제거 성능이 높았으며, 흡수율이 40% 이상일 때는 LTS-2가 LTS-1보다 성능이 높았다.

Recently, biofilm reactors are considered as efficient wastewater treatment system in rural areas, because of characteristics of easy operation and economic feasibility. In order to select the most efficient media, an experimental apparatus with five different media was designed, installed and examined. The media used in this study were zeolite, artificial sponge gourd, absorbent biofilter, non-woven fabric and charcoal. With only one month investigation, all five media showed high removal efficiencies of BOD.
