Several activated carbon in different specific surface area was prepared by steam and chemical activation of coconut shell. Products were characterized by BET ($N_2$) at 77K, and probed to be highly specific surface area of $1580m^2/g$ and pore volume that had increased with activating conditions. And also we have analyzed the adsorption efficiency of vapor phase components in cigarette mainstream smoke in order to evaluate the relationship between thesmoke components and the physicochemical properties of activated carbons. As a result of this study, the delivery of mainstream smoke was directly affected by the specific surface area and the pore size of activated carbon. The activated carbon prepared by steam activation exhibited better adsorption efficiency on the vapor phase components in mainstream smoke compared with activated carbon prepared by $ZnCl_2$, due to the higher micro-pore area of 66%. But the adsorption efficiency of semi-volatile matters such as phenolic components in a main stream smoke by the activated mesoporous carbon prepared by $ZnCl_2$ is more effective. From the these results, we can conclude that specific surface area by the micropore area increased the adsorption efficiency of activated carbon on vapour phase components, but semi-volatiles or particulate matter was affected by the ratio of mesopore area in total specific surface area.

The main outcomes of the experiments H2P6 performed in the thermal-hydraulics large-scale PANDA facility at PSI in the frame of the OECD/NEA HYMERES-2 project are presented in this article. The experiments of the H2P6 series consists of two PANDA tests characterized by the activation of three (H2P6_1) or one (H2P6_2) cooler(s) in an initially stratified and pressurized containment atmosphere. The initial stratification is defined by a helium-rich region located in the upper part of the vessel and a steam/air atmosphere in the lower part. The activation of the cooler(s) results i) in the condensation of the steam in the vicinity of the cooler(s), ii) the corresponding activation of large scale natural circulation currents in the vessel atmosphere, with the result of iii) the re-distribution and mixing of the Helium stratification initially located in the upper half of the vessel and iv) the continuous pressure decay. The initial helium layer represents hydrogen generated in a postulated severe accident. The main question to be answered by the experiments is whether or not the interaction of the different, localized cooler units would be important for the application of numerical methods. The paper describes the initial and boundary conditions and the experimental results of the H2P6 series with the suggestion of simple scaling laws for both experiments in terms of i) the temperature difference(s) across the cooler(s), ii) the transient steam and helium content and iii) the pressure decay in the vessel. The outcomes of this scaling indicate that the interaction between separate, closely localized units does not play a prominent role for the present experiments. It is therefore reasonable to model several units as one large component with equivalent heat transfer area and total water flow rate.

Activated carbons are the microporous carbonaceous adsorbents which are prepared from carbon-containing source materials such as wood, coal, lignite, peteroleum and sometimes synthetic high polymers. [1-2] Activated carbons shows an ability to adsorbe hydrocarbons of the gas phase. Activated carbons are used in the purification of many kinds of gas phases like hexane, benzene, toluene, gasoline, phenol etc.[3] In this study, cokes from bitminous coal were activated for the purpose of preparing the activated carbons by steam activation. The effect of the activation temperature, time, steam concentration and flow rate on the n-butane adsorption, burn off, surface area and average pore size of the activated carbons, were investigated. The adsorption characteristics of the activated carbons for gasoline are indirectly estimated by n-butane adsorption.

Creep rupture data for Alloy 690 steam generator tubes in a pressurized water reactor are essentially needed to demonstrate a severe accident scenario on thermally-induced tube failures caused by hot gases in a damaged reactor core. The rupture data were obtained using the tube specimens under different applied-stress levels at 650℃, 700℃, 750℃, 800℃, and 850℃. Important creep constants were proposed using various creep laws in terms of Norton power law, Monkman-Grant (M-G) relation, damage tolerance factor (λ), and Zener-Hollomon parameter (Z). In addition, a creep activation energy (Q) value for Alloy 690 tube was reasonably determined using experimental data. Creep behaviors such as creep strength, creep rates, rupture elongation showed the results of temperature dependence well. Modified M-G plot improved a correlation of the creep rate and rupture life. Damage tolerance factor for Alloy 690 tubes was found to be λ =2.20 in an average value. Creep activation energy for Alloy 690 tube was optimized for Q=350 (kJ/mol). A plot of Z parameter obeyed a good linearity, and the same creep mechanism was inferred to be operative in the present test conditions.

폐각 원료를 수증기 활성화 공정을 거쳐 다공성 흡착제로 제조하여 흡착성능을 평가하였다. 세척 파쇄한 폐각원료를 $600{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$로 탄화시킨 후 $700{\sim}800^{\circ}C$의 회전로에 주입하는 수증기 활성화법에 의해 활성화공정을 수행하였다. 다양한 조건으로 제조된 폐각흡착제 중 $1000^{\circ}C$로 탄화시켜 제조된 흡착제가 다른 공정으로 제조된 흡착제에 비해 흡착능이 높게 나타났다. 또한 기상흡착과 액상흡착실험을 통해 흡착제로서의 활용가능성을 확인한 결과 기상흡착의 경우에는 기존 흡착제에 비해 현저히 떨어진 성능을 나타내었으며, 액상흡착의 경우에는 흡착질로 benzene을 선정한 경우 다른 상용 흡착제와 비교하여 거의 유사한 흡착특성을 나타내어 흡착제로서의 활용가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Coal tar pitch was chemically modified with 10 wt% benzoquinone (BQ) to raise the softening point of isotropic pitch precursor and the precursor was melt-spun into pitch fibers, stabilized, carbonized and activated with steam at $900^{\circ}C$. The weight loss of carbon fiber-benzoquinone (CF-BQ) increased with the increase of activation time like other fibers, but was lower than those of Kureha fiber at the same activation time in spite of larger geometric surface area. Those adsorption isotherms fitted into 'Type I' according to Brunauer, Deming, Deming and Teller classification. However, there was very thin low-pressure hysteresis that lower closure points of the hysteresis are about 0.42-0.45. From the pore size distribution curves, there might be some micropores having narrow-necked bottle; a series of interconnected pore is more likely than discrete bottles. FT-IR studies showed that the functional groups such as carboxyl, quinone, and phenol were introduced to ACFs-BQ surface after steam activation. Methylene blue decolorization and iodine adsorption capacity of ACF-BQ increased linearly with the increase of specific surface area and was larger than that of ACF-Kureha at the same specific surface area.

In this study, carbon conversion was measured using an electronic mass balance. In a lab scale furnace, each coal sample was pyrolyzed in a nitrogen environment and became coal char, which was then gasified with steam under isothermal conditions. The reactivity of coal char was investigated at various temperatures and steam concentrations. The VRM(volume reaction model), SCM(shrinking core model), and RPM(random pore model) were used to interpret experimental data. For each model the activation energy(Ea), pre-exponential factor (A), and reaction order(n) of the coal char-steam reaction were determined by applying the Arrhenius equation into the data obtained with thermo-gravimetric analysis(TGA). According to this study, it was found that experimental data agreed better with the VRM and SCM for 1,000 and $1,100^{\circ}C$, and the RPM for 1,200 and $1,300^{\circ}C$. The reactivity of chars increased with the increase of gasification temperature. The structure parameter(${\psi}$) of the surface area for the RPM was obtained.

납사타르피치의 연소 및 수증기 가스화의 반응특성을 알아보기 위하여 납사타르피치를 탄소원으로 사용하여 열중량분석을 수행하였다. 반응의 활성화에너지, 반응차수, 빈도인자 등을 구하기 위하여 Friedman 방법과 Ozawa-Flynn-Wall 방법이 사용되었다. Friedman 방법을 사용하여 반응전환에 따른 연소의 활성화에너지를 구하였는데, 0.2~0.6 정도의 전환이 일어났을 때는 활성화에너지가 41.6~68.1 kJ/g-mol이었다. 0.9~1.0 정도의 전환이 일어났을 때는 183.1~191.2kJ/g-mol이었다. 그리고 수증기 가스화에 대해서는, 0.2~0.6 반응전환에서 활성화에너지는 31.9~44.9 kJ/g-mol이었다. 0.8~0.95 전환에서는 70.6~87.8 kJ/g-mol이었다. 이러한 결과로 미루어보아 반응은 탈휘발화와 연소 또는 가스화 반응의 두 단계로 진행되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 메탄 습식 개질 반응용 Ni/Al₂O₃ 촉매에 첨가된 Ce_xZr_1-xO₂(CZ)가 촉매 반응 효율에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 반응 실험 결과, CZ 조촉매가 첨가된 Ni/Al₂O₃ 촉매는 동일 온도, 동일 steam to carbon ratio에서 Ni/Al₂O₃ 촉매보다 높은 메탄 전환율과 수소 수율을 보였다. 특성 분석 결과, 두 촉매 모두 유사한 기공 구조와 비슷한 Ni 분산도를 가지고 있어 이는 반응 효율에 영향을 미치는 요소가 아님을 확인하였다. 하지만, 라만 분광 분석결과에서 CZ 조촉매 첨가 Ni/Al₂O₃ 촉매는 Ni/Al₂O₃ 촉매와 달리 CZ상에서 oxygen vacancy가 존재하고, 이는 상대적으로 낮은 반응 온도에서 물 활성화를 촉진시키는 것으로 확인되었다. CZ 조촉매 상의 oxygen vacancy에 의한 물 활성화는 저온 영역에서 CZ 조촉매 첨가 Ni/Al₂O₃ 촉매의 습식 개질 반응 성능을 증대시켰다.

In the present study, biomass-based lignin was extracted from industrial waste black liquor and the extracted lignin was characterized by means of attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and $^1H-nuclear$ magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The extracted lignin was carbonized at different temperatures and then activated with steam at $850^{\circ}C$. The extracted lignin in powder state was transformed into a bulky carbonized lignin due to possible fusion between the lignin particles occurring upon carbonization. The carbonized and then pulverized lignin exhibits brittle surfaces, the increased thermal stability, and the carbon assay with increasing the carbonization temperature. The scanning electron microscopic images and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller result indicate that the steam-activated carbon has the specific surface area of $1718m^2/g$, which is markedly greater than the carbonized lignin. This study reveals that biomass-based activated carbon with highly porous structure can be produced from costless black liquor via steam-activation process.
