Fluorinated compounds mainly used in the semiconductor industry are potent greenhouse gases. Recently, thermal plasma gas scrubbers have been gradually replacing conventional burn-wet type gas scrubbers which are based on the combustion of fossil fuels because high conversion efficiency and control of byproduct generation are achievable in chemically reactive high temperature thermal plasma. Chemical equilibrium composition at high temperature and numerical analysis on a complex thermal flow in the thermal plasma decomposition system are used to predict the process of thermal decomposition of fluorinated gas. In order to increase economic feasibility of the thermal plasma decomposition process, increase of thermal efficiency of the plasma torch and enhancement of gas mixing between the thermal plasma jet and waste gas are discussed. In addition, noble thermal plasma systems to be applied in the thermal plasma gas treatment are introduced in the present paper.

열용량분석기(TGA)를 사용하여 고온에서의 탄소/페놀릭 복합재료의 열분해를 연구하였다. 온도상승 속도는 5, 10, 15, 30 그리고 $50^{\circ}C/min$ 이었으며 온도 상승속도가 증가할수록 최대 열분해 반응의 온도도 상승하였다. 열분해반응에서 얻어진 자료를 근간으로 물리-수학적인 모델을 제시하였으며 모델의 실효성을 판단하기 위하여 고체 추진기관 노즐의 연소시험을 통하여 내부 온도 분포 및 밀도 분포 자료를 해석 모델과 비교하였다. 향후 연구를 통하여 이러한 열분해 인자는 고체 추진기관의 열 및 구조 해석의 입력 자료로 활용이 될 것이다.

Various types of plasma source applied in $CH_4$ decomposition process are compared. DBD by pulse and AC power, spark by pulse and AC power, rotating arc and hollow cathode plasma are chosen to be compared. The results show that $CH_4$ conversion per given unit power is relatively high in hollow cathode plasma and rotating arc that induces rather high temperature condition and that is why both thermal dehydration and plasma induced decomposition contribute for the overall process. In case of DBD wherein high temperature electron and low temperature gas molecule coexist, the process shows low conversion rate, for in rather low temperature condition the contribution of thermal dehydration is lowered. Selectivity of $C_2H_6$ and $C_2H_2$ is shown to be a good parameter of the relative contribution of plasma chemistry in the overall process. From the results we concluded that required condition of plasma source for a cost effective and high yield $CH_4$ decomposition is to have characteristics of both thermal plasma and non thermal plasma in which temperature is high above a certain threshold state for thermal dehydration and electron induced collision is maximized in the same breath.

탄소/페놀릭 복합재료가 높은 온도에서 열분해 되는 현상을 연구하기 위하여 열중량분석기(TGA)가 이용되었다. 높은 온도와 다양한 하중조건에서 운용되는 고체 추진기관의 열방호 시스템으로 적합한 재료를 분석하고 개발하는데 연구목적이 있다. 실제 연소조건과 유사한 온도 상승속도를 고려하기 위하여 열분해 특성상수 값은 1000 K/min인 경우로 예측된 값을 FEM 해석코드 자료로 활용하였다. 온도 분포는 실험 결과 값과 같은 거동을 보였으며 열분해 깊이는 ${\pm}1mm$ 이내에서 해석 결과와 잘 일치 하였다.

An experimental study has been carried out to investigate a thermal decomposition of urea solution at relative low temperature with a lab-scaled exhaust pipe. The conversion efficiency of reductant considered with both ammonia and HNCO related with the urea injection quantity, inflow gas velocity and temperature. The conversion efficiency of ammonia was larger than that of HNCO under all experimental conditions unlike the theoretical thermolysis reaction.

Thermal decomposition reactions of polystyrene using a new heating medium were carried out by a batch system at 190-280 $^{\circ}C$ to clarify the manner in which decomposition is initiated. Polystyrene obtained from a commercial source and low molecular weight compounds obtained from the thermal decomposition were analyzed by GC, GPC, IR, $^{13}$ C-NMR and GC-MS. The main chain underwent virtually no change by heat application. Polystyrene underwent decomposition below its molding temperature and the major decomposition products were 2,4,6-triphenyl-1-hexene (trimer), 2,4-diphenyl-1-butene(dimer) and styrene (monomer). Ethylbenzene, propylbenzene, naphthalene, benzaldehyde, biphenyl and 1,3-diphenylpropane were detected as minor products. This paper presents a new method for examining the decomposition of polystyrene at low temperature into volatile low molecular weight compounds.

This study was conducted to investigate the pyrolysis characteristics of switchgrass using TGA-FTIR instrument. Switchgrass is a high yielding perennial grass that has been designated as a potential energy crop, because of its high energy value. Ground switchgrass were pyrolysed at different heating rates of 10, 20, 30, and $40^{\circ}C/min$ in a TGA-FTIR instrument. The thermal decomposition characteristics of switchgrass were analyzed, and the gases volatilized during the experiment were identified. The thermal decomposition of switchgrass started at approximately $220^{\circ}C$, followed by a major loss of weight, where the main volatilization occurred, and the thermal decomposition was essentially completed by $430^{\circ}C$. The pyrolysis process was found to compose of four stages; moisture evaporation, hemicellulose decomposition, cellulose decomposition, and lignin degradation. The peak temperatures for hemicellulose decomposition ($306^{\circ}C$ to $327^{\circ}C$) and cellulose decomposition ($351^{\circ}C$ to $369^{\circ}C$) were increased with greater heating rates. FTIR analysis showed that the following gases were released during the pyrolysis of switchgrass; $CO_2$, CO, $CH_4$, $NH_3$, COS, $C_{2}H_{4}$, and some acetic acid. The most gas species were released at low temperature from 310 to $380^{\circ}C$, which was corresponding well with the observation of thermal decomposition.

본 논문에서는 내산화성 및 난연성이 향상된 폴리우레탄 나노섬유를 전기방사법 및 수산화알루미늄 내첨을 통해 제조하였다. 전기방사 조건은 인가전압: 20 kV, 폴리머 용액 유량: 1.2 ml/h, 롤러 속도: 120 rpm 및 롤러와 주사기 팁의 거리: 15 cm의 공정변수에서 최적의 조건을 확인하였다. 폴리우레탄 섬유의 내산화성 및 난연성을 향상시키기 위하여, 수산화알루미늄을 전기방사 시 내첨하였다. 제조된 샘플의 열적 특성을 평가하기 위하여 열중량분석기(thermogravimetric analysis, Shimadzu, TGA-50H)를 사용하였다. 또한 관련 분석을 통해 고분자 분해 온도(polymer decomposition temperature), 적분열분해 진행온도(integral procedure decomposition temperature), 최종 분해 온도(final decomposition temperature) 및 열분해 후 잔여량 등을 분석하였다. 그리고 분해 반응의 속도론적 고찰을 위해 Horowitz-Metzger 적분식을 통해 활성화 에너지를 해석하였다. 수산화알루미늄의 내첨에 의해, 분해 활성화 에너지가 50% 이상 증가함을 확인하였다. 이는 수산화알루미늄이 $300{\sim}500^{\circ}C$에서 열분해함에 따라 수화반응에 의해 폴리우레탄 나노섬유의 열분해 저항성이 커지기 때문인 것으로 파악된다.

실록산 올리고머가 에폭시 수지의 열안정성 및 내부 응력에 미치는 영향에 대해서 고찰하였다. 분자 말단에 에폭시기를 갖는 실록산-에폭시 중합체를 실록산-DDM 예비 중합체와 DGEBA계 에폭시 수지를 반응시켜 제조하였다. TGA 데이터를 사용하여 열분해 개시 온도(initial decomposition temperature, IDT), 최대 중량 감소 시의 온도(temperature of maximum rate of weight loss, $T_{max}$), 적분 열분해 진행 온도(integral procedural decomposition temperature, IPDT), 그리고 분해 활성화 에너지($E_t$) 등을 구한 후 측정된 열안정성은 실록산 올리고머의 함량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며 5wt%의 실록산 올리고머를 함유한 조성에서 최대값을 나타내었다. 본 블렌드의 열팽창 계수(coefficient of thermal expansion, ${\alpha}_r$)와 굴곡 탄성률($E_r$)로부터 내부응력을 구하였으며, 실록산 올리고머의 함량이 증가할수록 ${\alpha}_r$와 $E_r$가 동시에 감소해 내부응력이 규칙적으로 저하되었다.

A non-thermal plasma process combined with $Cr_2O_3/TiO_2$ catalyst was applied to the decomposition of trichloroethylene (TCE). A dielectric barrier discharge reactor operated with AC high voltage was used as the non-thermal plasma reactor. The effects of reaction temperature and input power on the decomposition of TCE and the formation of byproducts including HCl, $Cl_2$, CO, NO, $NO_2$ and $O_3$ were examined. At an identical input power, the increase in the reaction temperature from 373 K to 473 K decreased the decomposition of TCE in the plasma reactor. The presence of the catalyst downstream the plasma reactor not only enhanced the decomposition of TCE but also affected the distribution of byproducts, significantly. However, synergistic effect as a result of the combination of non-thermal plasma with catalyst was not observed, i.e., the TCE decomposition efficiency in this plasma-catalyst combination system was almost similar to the sum of those obtained with each process.
