Techno-economic evaluation of Non-Capture $CO_2$ Utilization (NCCU) technology for the production of high-value-added products using greenhouse gas ($CO_2$) was performed. The general scheme of NCCU process is composed of $CO_2$ carbonation and brine electrolysis process. Through a carbonation reaction with sodium hydroxide that is generated from brine electrolysis and $CO_2$ of the flue gas, it is possible to get high-value-added products such as sodium bicarbonate, sodium hydroxide, hydrogen & chloride and also to reduce the $CO_2$ emission simultaneously. For the techno-economic study on NCCU technology, continuous operation of bench-scale facility which could treat $2kgCO_2/day$ was performed. and based on the key performance data evaluated, the economic evaluation analysis targeted on the commercial chemical plant, which could treat 6 tons $CO_2$ per day, was performed using the net present value (NPV) metrics. The results showed that the net profit obtained during the whole plant operation was about 7,890 mKRW (million Korean Won) on NPV metrics and annual $CO_2$ reduction was estimated as about $2,000tCO_2$. Also it was found that the energy consumption of brine electrolysis is one of the key factors which affect the plant operation cost (ex. electricity consumption) and the net profit of the plant. Based on these results, it could be deduced that NCCU technology of this study could be one of the cost-effective $CO_2$ utilization technology options.

Ultrathin atomic layer deposition (ALD) coatings were found to enhance the performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Previous studies have demonstrated that $LiCoO_2$ cathode powders coated with metal oxides with thicknesses of $\sim100-1000{\AA}$ grown using wet chemical techniques improved LIB performance. In this study, $LiCoO_2$ powders were coated with conformal $Al_2O_3$ ALD films with thicknesses of only $\sim3-4{\AA}$ established using 2 ALD cycles. The coated $LiCoO_2$ powders exhibited a capacity retention of 89% after 120 charge-discharge cycles in the 3.3~4.5 V (vs. $Li/Li^+$) range. In contrast, the bare $LiCoO_2$ powders displayed only a 45% capacity retention. This dramatic improvement may result from the ultrathin $Al_2O_3$ ALD film acting to minimize Co dissolution or to reduce surface electrolyte reactions.

A new technique for recycling process water was developed in order to reduce the calcium hardness of the closed OCC recycling system. Calcium ions present in the white water were precipitated as calcium carbonate by a reaction with sodium carbonate and the CaCO$_3$precipitates were easily removed from the system by a dissolved air flotation(DAF) method. After the DAF stage, CO$_2$-gas was purged into the water because the pH of Na$_2$CO$_3$-treated white water was reduced to neutral by CO$_2$gas. Since CaCO$_3$precipitate tends to stick onto the fine fiber surface and then is selectively removed from the water, a proper amount of suspended solid in the process water acts as an important factor in deciding the removal efficiency. By the application of Na$_2$CO$_3$addition - DAF - CO$_2$purging to the short circulated white water the calcium hardness was significantly reduced by 92% and more. The removal of calcium ions with fine fibers led to drainage improvement, reduction of fresh water consumption, and enhanced efficiency of wet-end chemicals.

This study was conducted to evaluate the ventilation to remove gases, vapor and particles of environmental tobacco smoke(ETS) in a closed room. The ventilation rate choosed were 0.445 ㎥/min, 0.528 ㎥/min, and 0.625 ㎥/min. ETS components measured were total suspended particle(TSP), ultraviolet particulate matter(UVPM), fluorescent particulate matter(FPM), solanesol, carbon dioxide($CO_2$), carbon monoxide(CO), nicotine, and 3-ethenylpyri-dine(3-EP). The concentration of ETS components measured rapidly decreased as increasing ventilation rate, but the removal efficiency by ventilation was different from each ETS compounds. The $CO_2$, and CO, gaseous components of ETS, were dominant components to be removed from the room by ventilation. The ventilation with 0.528 ㎥/min for 1 hr was enough to remove over 99% of those gaseous components. Nicotine and 3-EP needed the ventilation for 2 hrs to reduce over 95 % of those components. As the same ventilation rate, 99 % of TSP and solanesol concentration were removed from the room within 2 hrs, UVPM and FPM concentration decreased 90 %.

The high energy penalty in amine-based post-combustion CO₂ capture process is hampering its industrial scale application. An advanced process is designed by intensive heat integration within the conventional process to reduce the stripper duty. The study presents the technical feasibility for stripper duty reduction by intensive heat integration in CO₂ capture process. A rigorous rate-based model has been used in Aspen Plus® to simulate conventional and advanced process for a 300 MW coal-based power plant. Several design and operational parameters like split ratio, stripper inter-heater location and flowrate were studied to find the optimum values. The results show that advanced configuration with heat integration can reduces the stripper heat by 14%.

The purpose of this study was to investigate total $CO_2$ amount of steel and reinforced concrete construction, and compare and analyze $CO_2$ amount on construction-material. And then it was studied about new element that environment compatibility of architecture structure design based on paradigm of environment age. Architecture action should have proceeded course that reduce burden of the earth environment in relation between architecture and environment and increase contact of human and nature. As environment compatibility development is emphasized with architecture development, architecture structure design give improvement of one important element that environment compatibility except stability, function, economy and necessary propriety of environment compatability of construction design.

산업에서 발생되는 온실가스를 줄이기 위해서는 각 산업별 온실가스 발생량을 정확히 예측해야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 2003년 산업연관표와 에너지 사용량 통계자료를 기초로 401개 산업별 직 간접 $CO_2$ 원단위를 산출하고 이를 활용하는 방안을 검토하였다. 본 연구는 국내에 없는 일부 데이터 대신 해외 데이터 사용, 석유정제부문에 대한 분배 문제, 카본뉴트럴 측면에서 재검토 필요성, 폐기물처리 부문 과정의 일부 미고려 등에 따른 결과의 한계를 가지고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 부산물로 얻어지는 코크스로가스나 철강계 가스, 자원순환 관점에서 주목받고 있는 폐기물 영향까지를 고려한 401개 상세 산업별 직 간접 $CO_2$ 원단위를 산출했다는 측면에서 의미가 있다. 산업별 $CO_2$ 배출 원단위 분석 결과를 살펴보면, 간접 $CO_2$ 원단위가 크게 나타난 대표적인 산업으로는 조강, 레미콘, 선재 및 궤조, 주철물, 철근 및 봉강 산업이다. 이들 산업은 직접 $CO_2$ 원단위가 큰 산업에서 생산된 원료물질을 이용하여 제품을 생산하고 있다. 직접 $CO_2$ 배출 원단위가 크게 나타난 대표적인 산업으로는 시멘트, 선철, 석회 및 석고 제품, 석탄화합물 등 자연으로부터 채취한 원광석 등을 이용하여 다른 산업에 유용한 원료물질로 정제하는 산업이었다. 본 연구 결과는 산업별 특성이 반영된 저감 목표치 산정, $CO_2$ 저감정책별 감축 잠재량 산정, 기업의 $CO_2$ 배출량 수준 파악 및 저감 목표량을 설정할 때 유용하게 활용될 수 있다. 그 밖에도 국내에서 활발히 연구되고 있는 환경경제통합계정, 산업별 물질흐름분석 분야에서 널리 응용될 수 있을 것이다.

국제해사기구의 해양환경보호위원회에서 CO₂ 배출량 감축의 지구적 노력에 동참하기 위해 최근 선박에서 대기로 방출하는 CO₂의 양을 지수화 하고자 하는 논의가 활발히 진행중이다. 그 대표적인 지수로서 신조선 설계 건조시에 적용하는 에너지 효율지수(EEDI : Energy Efficiency Design Index for new ships)와 현재 또는 건조 후 항행시에 운항선에 적용되는 에너지 효율지표(EEOI : Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator), 그리고 운항선의 에너지 효율관리 계획(SEEMP : Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan)등이다. 본 지수는 선박을 설계 건조시부터 각 선박당 CO₂의 배출값을 산정하고 운항시에도 CO₂배출을 개량하고 이를 감축하는 방안을 모색하도록 유도하는 조치가 될 것이다. 향후 3년내에 발효될 수 있는 임박한 CO₂선박 배출 규제를 조사 분석하고 향후 발전방향을 모색해 보고자 한다.

아민 수용액을 이용한 CO₂ 포집 공정의 문제점은 재생에 따른 높은 에너지 요구량이다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해서 본 연구에서는 디에틸렌트리아민(diethylenetriamine, DETA) 수용액에 이소프로판올(isopropanol, IPA)을 도입한 상분리 흡수제 적용에 따른 CO₂ 포집 특성을 고찰하였다. 20 wt% DETA 수용액에서 IPA 조성이 20 wt%를 이상이 되면 CO₂를 흡수함에 따라 흡수제의 상이 CO₂-농축상과 CO₂-희박상으로 액-액 분리된다. 그 이유는 CO₂와 DETA가 반응하여 형성된 염의 IPA에 대한 낮은 용해도 때문이다. DETA 수용액에서 IPA 조성이 증가하면 CO₂-희박상의 부피에 대한 CO₂-농축 상의 부피비가 증가하게 되고 이에 따라 CO₂-희박상에서의 CO₂ 농축 정도가 높아지게 된다. 20 wt% DETA + IPA + 물 흡수제를 이용하여 흡수탑에서 CO₂를 흡수한 결과 20 wt% DETA 수용액 흡수제에 비해 CO₂ 흡수능 및 흡수속도가 모두 높은 것으로 확인되었다. DETA + IPA + 물로 구성된 상분리 흡수제를 CO₂ 포집에 적용할 경우 상분리 따른 CO₂ 농축과 CO₂-농축상의 부피 감소에 따른 재생에너지 저감을 기대할 수 있다.

SDC (Samarium doped Ceria) electrolyte was developed for Intermediate temperature SOFC ($500^{\circ}C-800^{\circ}C$) which showed a good electrical conductivity. In this study, we used sintering aids to reduce the SDC sintering temperature down to $1000^{\circ}C$, especially which can help the SOFC scale-up. In order to reduce the SDC sintering temperature, $Li_2CO_3$ and $TiO_2$ were used as a sinering aids for decreasing sintering temperature. $Li_2CO_3$ and $TiO_2$ doped SDC sintered at $1000^{\circ}C$ showed 99% of the theoretical density and higher electrical conductivity than the pure SDC sintered at $1500^{\circ}C$. When measuring the OCV (Open circuit voltage) with the $Li_2CO_3$ and $TiO_2$ doped SDC electrolyte, however, the OCV values were lower than the theoretical OCV values which means that the modified SDC still had electronic conductivity.
