부영양화로 인한 조류의 과도한 번식은 하천과 호수의 수질에 심각한 문제를 야기하고 있다. 따라서 하천과 호수의 수질 오염 방지를 위해서는 물리화학적 또는 생물학적 처리를 통해 효과적인 조류 제거가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 전기부상과 혐기성 수소 발효 공정의 연계를 통해 효과적인 조류 제거와 에너지를 생산하고자 하였다. Chlorophyll a를 기준으로 전기부상에 의한 조류 제거효율은 전류 증가에 따라 증가하였으며 최대 95.9%로 나타났다. 제거된 조류로부터 에너지를 회수하기 위하여 혐기성 수소 발효 타당성을 조사하였다. 조류와 초음파로 전처리를 수행한 조류의 최종 수소 수율은 각각 17.3및 61.1ml $H_2/g$ dcw(dry cell weight)로 나타났다. 조류의 초음파 전처리는 가수분해 속도를 증가시켜 최대 수소 수율을 3.4배 향상시키는 것으로 나타났다.

The initial growth of Clostridium acetobutylicum was not inhibited by 1 atm of H$_2$ while H$_2$ reduced glucose consumption in a solventogenic culture of a phosphate limited 2-stage chemostat. Under 1 atm of H$_2$, a solventogenic culture consumed hydrogen, but an acidogenic culture produced hydrogen. H$_2$ consumption by the solventogenic culture was enhanced by the addition of 5 mM neutral red, an artificial electron carrier with a redox potential of -325 mV. Hydrogenase activity, measured in both directions of production and consumption, showed that activity coupled with methyl viologen is higher in an acidogenic culture than in a solventogenic culture, and that the two cultures have similar activities for methylene blue reduction. The solventogenic culture showed a higher activity coupled with neutral red than the acidogenic culture. From these results, it is hypothesized that hydrogen producing hydrogenase activity is high during the acidogenic phase, and decreases as solventogenesis starts, and that the solventogenic culture produces a second hydrogenase which uses an electron carrier other than ferredoxin. This hypothesis was supported by the fact that enzyme activities involved in electron flow can be coupled to neutral red, indepedent of ferredoxin, and that neutral red addition to the fermentation system increased butanol yield, with a decrease in production of less reduced fermentation products, and $H^2$.

Rhodopseudomonas palustris P4 can produce $H_2$ either from CO by water-gas shift reaction or from various sugars by anaerobic fermentation. Fermentative $H_2$ production by P4 is fast, but its yield is relatively low due to the formation of various organic acids. In order to increase $H_2$ production yield from glucose, P4 was investigated for the photo-fermentation of acetate which is a major by-product of fermentative $H_2$ production. Experiments were performed in batch modes using both light-grown and dark-grown cells. When the dark-grown P4 was challenged with light and acetate, $H_2$ was produced with the consumption of acetate after a lag period of 25 h. $H_2$ production was inhibited when a nitrogen source, especially ammonium, is present. When the dark-fermentation broth containing acetate was adopted for photo-fermentation with light-grown cells, $H_2$ production and concomitant acetate consumption occurred without a lag period. The $H_2$ yield was estimated as 2.4 - 2.8 mol $H_2/mol$ acetate and the specific $H_2$ production rate was as 9.8 ml $H_2/g$ cell${\cdot}$h, The fact that a single strain can perform both dark- and light-fermentation gives a great advantage in process development Compared to a one-step dark-fermentation, the combined dark- and light-fermentation can increase the $H_2$ production yield on glucose by two-fold.

근래의 무분별한 화석연료의 사용은 에너지자원의 고갈과 환경오염의 문제를 야기하여 이의 해결을 위한 청정신에너지에 대한 연구가 전 세계적으로 집중되고 있다. 이 중 바이오매스는 화석연료보다 비교적 높은 H/C비를 갖기 때문에 신에너지인 수소 또는 Syngas를 생산하기 위한 가스화 특성이 우수한 특징을 가지고 있으며, 구성성분 내 중금속, 타르 질소를 거의 함유하지 않는 점에서 환경오염 저감과 동시에 대체 신에너지로써 각광을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 목질계 바이오매스인 Wood pellet에 대하여 고정층 반응기를 이용하여 질소 분위기하에서 온도 및 Steam/Biomass Ratio(SBR)조건 변화에 따른 가스화 특성으로 고찰하는데 그 목적을 둔다. 온도의 영향에 대하여, 높은 온도 범위에서 수소 수율이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. SBR에 대한 영향으로서, 상대적 저온 조건에서는 SBR이 1 이상인 조건에서는 수소 수율이 거의 일정한 경향을 보였고, $900^{\circ}C$의 고온에서는 SBR 증가에 따라 증가하는 결과를 얻었다. 또한 $H_2$/CO ratio에 비하여 $H_2/CH_4$ ratio의 변화가 더 큰 결과로부터, 본 실험 조건에서의 반응은 Steam reforming이 Water gas shift reaction 보다 더욱 지배적임을 확인하였다. 최적의 $H_2$ 수율 생산 조건은 열분해의 경우 $800^{\circ}C$이며, 저온 스팀가스화의 경우에는 SBR=1, $900^{\circ}C$의 고온인 경우에는 SBR=3 이었으며, 최대 수소 수율은 $900^{\circ}C$, SBR=3의 조건에서 38.5 vol.%(56.01 L/min kg) 이었다.

This research presents an in-depth analysis of location planning of the solar-hydrogen power plants for electricity production in different cities situated in Kerman province of Iran. Ten cities were analyzed in order to select the most suitable location for the construction of a solar-hydrogen power plant utilizing photovoltaic panels. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) methodology was applied to prioritize cities for installing the solar-hydrogen power plant so that one candidate location was selected for each city. Different criteria including population, distance to main road, flood risk, wind speed, sunshine hours, air temperature, humidity, horizontal solar irradiation, dust, and land costare used for the analysis. From the analysis, it is found that among the candidates' cities, the site of Lalezar is ranked as the first priority for the solar-hydrogen system development. A measure of validity is obtained when results of the DEA method are compared with the results of the technique for ordering preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). Applying TOPSIS model, it was found that city of Lalezar ranked first, and Rafsanjan gained last priority for installing the solar-hydrogen power plants. Cities of Baft, Sirjan, Kerman, Shahrbabak, Kahnouj, Shahdad, Bam, and Jiroft ranked second to ninth, respectively. The validity of the DEA model is compared with the results of TOPSIS and it is demonstrated that the two methods produced similar results. The solar-hydrogen power plant is considered for installation in the city of Lalezar. It is demonstrated that installation of the proposed solar-hydrogen system in Lalezar can lead to yearly yield of 129 ton-H2 which covers 4.3% of total annual energy demands of the city.

In this study, a novel microwave-matrix reformer was proposed to convert CH₄, which is a major component, to a high quality hydrogen energy. And to identify this performance, it was investigated for O₂/C ratio, steam feed amount and reformed gas recirculation which are affected for methane conversion and product gas yield. Through the parametric screening studies, optimal operating conditions were that O₂/C ratio, steam feed amount and recirculation rate were 1.1, 10 mL/min and 30 L/min. In this conditions, CH₄ conversion was 68.1%, H₂ selectivity 77.2 and H₂/CO ratio 2.62 which are possible applying SOFC stack for RPG (residential power generator).

수소 생성능이 있는 Clostridium butyricum과 이 균주의 대사산물을 이용하여 수소를 생성할 수 있는 광합성 세균의 혼합 배양에 의하여 수소 생성을 할 수 있는 양 균주의 혼합 배양 동력학적 연구를 수행하였다. 혐기성 Clostridia의 발효에서 생성되는 아세트산염과 부티르산염은 Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides에 의해 이용되어 수소를 생성하게 되었고, 이들 양 균주를 혼합 배양한 결과 수소 생성을 저해하는 아세트산염과 부티르산염의 배지내 농도는 점차 감소하였다. 이들 두 균주의 혼합 배양에서의 균체의 혼합 비율, 혼합시기, 접종량을 조사함으로써 단독 배양시와 비교하면서 최적 조건을 조사하였고, 혼합시 균체량의 비율 Clostridium 속 세균1부에 대하여 Rhodopseudomonas 속 세균 6부의 비율로 혼합할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Research was performed to increase the efficiency of a plasma reactor for $H_2$ yield. In the preceding studies $H_2$ was increased by adding Ni as a transitional metal catalyst and $TiO_2$ as a photocatalyst. In these experiments, it was found that distilled water, discharge frequency, and electrode configuration had a significant impact on $H_2$ generation. A substantial amount of hydrogen yield was observed at 2 kHz of discharge frequency and 12 kV of applied voltage. Within this favorable discharge conditions, the weight rate of $TiO_2$ and Ni powders was investigated. Plasma phenomenon was measured by electrical, optical and acoustical devices. It was found that emitted light, electric current and acoustical signals acquired from the discharge demonstrated systematical correlation. Changing the electrode's configuration allowed discharge distribution along the perimeter of the electrode's tip, which increased the density of streamers and plasma energy loadings, as the value of inception voltage for the discharge propagation decreased.

Characteristics of an autothermal reformer at various operating parameters have been studied in this paper. Numerical method has been used, and simulation model has been developed for the analysis. Full Combustion reaction, Steam Reforming(SR) reaction, Water-Gas Shift(WGS) reaction, and Direct Steam Reforming(DSR) reaction are assumed as dominant chemical reactions in the autothermal reformer. Simulation results are compared with experimental results for code validation. Operating parameters of the autothermal reformer are inlet temperature, Oxygen to Carbon Ratio(OCR), Steam to Carbon Ratio(SCR), and Gas Hourly Space Veolcity(GHSV). SR reaction rate decreases with low inlet temperature. If OCR is increased, $H_2$ yield is increased but optimal point is suggested. WGS reaction is activated with high SCR. When GHSV is increased, reforming efficiency is increased but pressure drop may decrease the system efficiency.
