In order to improve the portability of basic absorbents monoethanolamine (MEA) and glycine (Gly), both were supported on microporous activated carbon (AC). Chemical modification by alkali-metal ion exchange (of Li, Na, K) was carried out on Gly-based absorbents. All supported absorbents were subjected to $CO_2$ absorption capacity (pure $CO_2$) and selectivity (indoor level) tests. Textural and chemical characterizations were carried out on test sorbents. All impregnation brought about significant reduction of specific surface area and microporosity of the adsorbent Depreciation in the textural properties was found to result to reduction in pure $CO_2$ sorption. Contrarily, low-level $CO_2$ removal capacity was enhanced as the absorbent dosage increases, resulting in supported 5 molar MEA in methanol solution. Adsorption capacities were improved from 0.016 and 0.8 in raw ACs to 1.065 mmol/g for MEA's. Surface chemistry via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of the supported sorbents showed the presence of amine, pyrrole and quaternary-N. In reducing sequence of potency, pyridine, amine and pyrrolic-N were noticed to contribute significantly to $CO_2$ selective adsorption. Furthermore, the adsorption isotherm study confirms the presence of various SNGs heterogeneously distributed on AC. The adsorption mechanism of the present AC adsorbents favored Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm at lower and higher $CO_2$ concentrations respectively.

Tidal flats which are ecologically sensitive, are hard to remediate once they are contaminated by oil spill accidents. Traditional oil remediation measures focus on removal efficiency, and their improper implementation can adversely affect crude oil contaminated coastal areas and greatly disrupt the structure and functions of crude oil contaminated tidal flats. In this study, the oil degradation due to the implementation of remediation measures naturally enhanced using air and natural oil sorbents was evaluated in the lower strata of tidal flats. The effects of air and natural oil sorbents on oil degradation for two concentration levels (< 500 ppm and > 500 ppm) were tested at artificially contaminated tidal flats. Fifty days after these treatments, the natural oil sorbent treatment showed the lowest total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) concentration ($4.46{\pm}1.47%$) at the low concentration level, whereas both air and natural oil sorbent treatments showed high degradation efficiencies at the high concentration level ($29.30{\pm}4.39%$). Although the phosphatase activity decreased for all treatments, there was no significant difference between the decreases for the different treatments; on the other hand, B-glucosidase activities were high for both air and natural oil sorbent treatments. Although degradation efficiencies decreased as the concentration increased, the air provision and natural oil sorbent treatment could be an effective ecological restoration measure for oil contaminated tidal flats while minimizing the environmental impact of the remediation efforts.

본 연구에서는 벤치급 건식 $CO_2$ 포집 성능평가 장치에서 흡수반응기 내부의 구조와 형태에 따른 K-계열 흡수제(KEP-CO2P2, 한국전력공사 전력연구원)의 성능특성을 확인하였다. 흡수반응기 혼합영역(mixing-zone)에 구조와 형태가 다르게 제작된 두 종류의 열교환기가 적용되었으며, 각각 CASE 1과 CASE 2로 나뉘어 동일한 조업조건으로 연속운전을 수행하였다. 연속운전동안 흡수반응 온도는 $75{\sim}80^{\circ}C$, 재생반응 온도는 $190{\sim}200^{\circ}C$, 그리고 반응기체($CO_2$) 농도는 12~14 vol%으로 설정하였다. 특히 흡수제의 흡수능 비교를 위해 흡수반응기 혼합영역의 차압을 400~500 mm$H_2O$로 유지하며 운전하였다. 또한 반응 후 채집한 시료는 반응성 비교를 위해 TGA를 이용하여 물성분석을 하였다. CASE 1 실험에서 $CO_2$ 제거효율과 동적흡수능은 각각 64.3%, 2.40 wt%으로 산출 되었고, CASE 2 실험에서 $CO_2$ 제거효율과 동적흡수능은 각각 81.0%, 4.66 wt%으로 산출되었다. 또한 반응 후 흡수제에 대한 TGA 측정 결과의 무게감량을 이용하여 흡수제의 동적흡수능을 계산한 결과, CASE 1과 CASE 2 실험에서 반응 후 흡수제의 동적흡수능은 각각 2.51 wt%와 4.89 wt%으로 산출되었다. 결론적으로 동일한 조업조건에서 흡수반응기 내부에 삽입되는 열교환기의 구조와 형태에 따라 흡수제의 성능 차이가 있는 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 전력연구원으로부터 공급받은 K-계열 건식흡수제를 이용하여 회분식 기포유동층 반응기에서 흡수-재생 반복실험을 통한 $H_2O$ 주입농도 및 재생온도에 따른 반응 특성을 살펴보았다. K-계열 건식흡수제는 $CO_2$ 흡수를 위한 탄산칼륨과 내마모성과 기계적 강도를 위한 지지체로 구성되어 있다. 흡수반응과 재생반응 특성을 살펴보기 위해 처음 한 시간 동안 흡수반응을 수행하고 다음 한 시간 동안 재생반응을 수행하는 과정을 3차례 반복하여 실험하였다. $H_2O$ 농도의 영향을 파악하기 위해서 흡수반응은 $70^{\circ}C$에서 $H_2O$ 농도를 7.3, 12.2, 19.7, 30.8%로 변화하여 실험을 수행하였으며 재생반응은 $N_2$ 기체를 유동화기체로 사용하여 $150^{\circ}C$에서 수행하였다. 재생온도의 영향을 파악하기 위해서는 흡수반응에서의 $H_2O$ 농도를 12.2%에 고정한 상태에서 재생온도를 150, 200, 300, $400^{\circ}C$로 변화하여 실험을 수행하였다. 수분 함량이 $1.97\;mol\;H_2O/mol\;CO_2$인 경우 흡수반응에서 흡수율이 가장 우수함을 확인하였다. 또한 재생온도가 $400^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높은 재생율을 보이는 것을 확인하였다. 재생온도가 $150^{\circ}C$에서 재생율은 대략 60% 정도였으며 실제 두개의 유동층 반응기를 가진 연속장치의 경우 부분적인 재생을 유지하면서 운전이 수행되기 때문에 재생온도는 $150^{\circ}C$ 이상이면 적절하다고 판단된다. 실제 연속운전에서는 적절한 고체순환량을 결정하는 고체이용율과 재생에너지를 결정하는 재생온도 사이에 절충점이 존재하며 본 실험에서 얻은 데이터가 연속장치의 설계와 운전에 중요한 기초자료가 될 것이다.

A great deal of research has been carried out in the last twenty some years to develop high temperature desulfurization. For example, the efficiency of advanced power generation processes based on the integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) can be increased significantly with high temperature desulfurization. Much of the recent high temperature desulfurization research has concentrated on zinc-based sorbents such as zinc ferrite(ZnFe$_2$O$_4$) and zinc titanate(ZnO.xTiO$_2$) due to its thermodynamic advantage in capturing H$_2$S molecules.(omitted)

As the Busan harbor is getting susceptible to oil Pollution. the authors analyze the historical records of oil spill accidents and investigate the shoreline features. In addition. we evaluate the response capabilities and compute the required stockpiles of marine oil spill response with the worst case scenario in this area. As a result, it is shown that the recommendable oil spill response is to contain and mechanically recover all oils at sea surface in winter. while chemical dispersants can be used in summer with mechanical containment and recovery, and it is also found that off-shore booms of 3,000m and off-shore skimmers of 986MT/hour recovery rate should be stockpiled with 10,000∼60,000 liters of concentrate chemical dispersant and small amount of synthetic organic sorbents for possible use.

Cesium and strontium are two important fission products and the removal/speciation of these two cations with several inorganic/bio-materials is an interesting topic to discuss. It is to be noted that inorganic materials are found to be fairly effective and efficient in the removal/speciation of these cations. Moreover, these solids are to be found promising as they show fairly good radiation and temperature stability. Hence, they play an important role in the radioactive waste management studies. However, various studies reveal that in addition to inorganic materials various biosorbents can also be employed in the removal/speciation of these ions. But the radiation and temperature stability of these bio-sorbents and dead biomasses are still the topic lying among the researchers to be investigated.

고온에서 황화수소(H$_{2}$S)를 제거하기 위한 흡착제를 개발할 목적으로 ZnO에 $Fe_{2}O_{3}$를 5~50 atomic %까지 첨가시켜 제조한 다공성 흡착제와 황화수소와의 반응(sulfidation)을 thermogravimetric analyzer (Shimadzu DT-30)로 수행하였으며, 고정층세서 zinc ferrite 흡착제의 흡착능을 측정하였다. 반응온도는723$^{\circ}$K~973$^{\circ}$K범위이며, 반응기체는 황화수소(2vol.%)와 질소와 혼합기체로서 total gas flow rate는 200ml/min으로 고정시켰다. Grain Model을 사용하여 실험데이터를 분석한 결과 전화율이 낮을 때 zinc ferrite와 황화수소 반응의 율속단계는 화학반응이었고 황화수소 농도에 대해 1차 반응이었다. 실험한 흡착제 중 10 atomic %의 $Fe_{2}O_{3}$를 첨가하여 제조한 zinc ferrite형 흡착제가 반응속도, 흡착능, 그리고 재생성면에서 우수한 흡착제로 밝혀졌다.
