본 연구에서는 혼합기체 중의 SO2 제거를 위하여 폴리이서이미드 복합 중공사막을 이용하였으며, 지지체로 사용한 중공사막은 건-습식 상전이 법으로 제조하였다. PEBAX1657(R)과 PEG를 혼합하여 제조한 용액을 지지체 표면에 코팅하여 복합막을 제조하였다. 중공사 복합막의 기체투과 특성을 확인하기 위하여 모듈을 제작하였고, 온도와 압력변화에 따른 SO2, CO2, N2 단일 기체투과를 실시하였다. 그 결과, 운전조건에 따라서 SO2 투과도는 220~1220 GPU를 나타내었으며, SO2/N2 선택도는 100~506을 나타내었다. 그리고 혼합기체 분리거동을 관찰하기 위하여 SO2, CO2, N2로 구성된 혼합가스를 이용하여 온도, 압력, 잔류부 유량을 변화시키면서 투과기체의 유량과 각 성분의 농도변화를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 압력과 온도가 증가할수록 SO2 제거효율이 높아지는 경향을 나타내었다.

고분자는 우수한 투과선택도 및 가공성으로 인하여 여러 기체 혼합물의 분리를 위한 막의 소재로 널리 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 polyamide 복합막을 이용하여 CH4 및 CO2 혼합기체의 분리특성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구를 위한 모사 기체로는 순수 메탄과 이산화탄소를 혼합하여 사용하였으며, 서로 다른 운전조건에서의 투과실험을 수행하였다. 주입 기체의 유량은 800~1000 cm3/min으로 변화시켰으며, stage cuts의 변화는 50~60 %로 하였다. 또한 분리막의 운전 온도는 30~70℃에서 변화시켰으며 기체의 초기 주입압력은 6 bar로 설정하였다. 각 실험조건에서 메탄과 이산화탄소의 투과도를 평가하였고 이때 permeate에서의 이산화탄소에 대한 선택도를 함께 평가하였다. 또한 본 연구에서는 Arrhenius plots를 이용하여 메탄과 이산화탄소의 분리막에 대한 투과 활성화 에너지를 얻었다.

여러가지 고분자막을 이용하여 N2-SO2 혼합기체를 분리하는 데 있어서 압력, 온도 등을 조작변수로 하여 투과계수와 분리인자를 계산하고 이에 따른 기체투과 특성을 규명하고 분리성능을 측정하였다. 실험한 압력의 범위는 0.1~1.0 MPa이었으며, 온도범위는 283~303 K이었다. 압력이 커질수록 투과계수와 분리인자가 증가하였으나, 온도증가에 따라 투과계수와 분리인자는 감소하였다. 본 실험에서 사용된 막 중 Film-Tech사의 FT-30이 N2-SO2 혼합기체의 분리능력이 가장 뛰어난 것으로 나타났다.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of manure additives mixed with probiotics and zeolite on harmful gas production generated by pig slurry. A total of 180 crossbred pigs ([Yorkshire x Land race] x Duroc, live weight 70±3.21 kg) were allotted to a completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 3 replications (20 heads per replicate). The treatments consisted of 0% (control), 0.05% (T1), or 1% (T2) of manure additives mixed with probiotics and zeolite. Manure additives were added weekly to pig slurry pits (2 m × 4.5 m × 1.2 m) on a volumetric basis. For ammonia measured at both 10 cm and 90 cm above the pig slurry pit, a statistical significance (p<0.05) was found in probiotics and zeolite-treated manure additives at weeks 1 – 3, except for week 0. In addition, hydrogen sulfide levels measured at 10 cm above the pig slurry pit were not affected by the manure additive at weeks 0 and 1, but showed a significant statistical difference at weeks 2 and 3 (p<0.05). Therefore, supplementing pig slurry with 0.05% and 0.1% manure additives mixed with probiotics and zeolite was found to be effective in reducing environmental pollution in pig facilities.

Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) plasma is a new technique for use in environmental pollutant degradation, which is characterized by the production of hydroxyl radicals as the primary degradation species. Due to the short lifetime of the chemically active species generated during the plasma reaction, the dissolution of the plasma gas has a significant effect on the reaction performance. The plasma reaction performance can be enhanced by combining the basic plasma reactor with a homogenizer system in which the bubbles are destroyed and turned into micro-bubbles. For this purpose, the improvement of the dissolution of plasma gas was evaluated by measuring the RNO (N-dimethyl-4-nitrosoaniline, an indicator of the generation of OH radicals). Experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of the diameter, rotation speed, and height of the homogenizer, pore size, and number of the diffuser and the applied voltage on the plasma reaction. The results showed that the RNO removal efficiency of the plasma reactor combined with a homogenizer is two times higher than that of the conventional one. The optimum rotor size and rotation speed of the homogenizer were 15.1 mm, and 19,700 rpm, respectively. Except for the lowest pore size distribution of 10-16 μm, the pore size of the diffuser showed little effect on RNO removal.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of mixed Korean red ginseng marc with aluminum sulfate on gas concentration and volatile fatty acid (VFA) in poultry litter during 4 weeks in terms of livestock and environment managements. A total of 240 broiler chicks were randomly allocated to four treatments in four replications and 15 birds per replicate. The four treatments was mixed to rice hull under each pen at 0, 10 g or 20 g red ginseng marc + 90g aluminum sulfate, and 100g aluminum sulfate per kg poultry litter (rice hulls). Carbon dioxide, methane, acetic acid, and propionic acids were measured weekly. The results that could be available include: First, during the experimental period, carbon dioxide emissions were not remarkably different among treatments. Second, no differences were observed among treatments in methane emissions at 2 weeks through 4 weeks, but at 1 week, the reduction in methane emissions was in following order: 100 g aluminum sulfate > 20 g red ginseng marc + 90 g aluminum sulfate > 10 g red ginseng marc + 90 g aluminum sulfate > control. Third, in spite of statistically differences, treatment with 10 g or 20 g red ginseng marc + 90g aluminum sulfate, and 100g aluminum sulfate reduced acetic acid and propionic acid as a function of time, except acetic acid in aluminum sulfate treatment at 2 and 4 weeks. In conclusion, the results indicated that like aluminum sulfate, using 10 g or 20 g red ginseng marc with aluminum sulfate was effective in decreasing methane and propionic acid released from poultry litter.

In this work, the separation characteristics of CO2 from CO2 and CH4 mixed gas was studied using pressure swingadsorption (PSA) process. Zeolite 13X was used as an adsorbent to adsorb CO2 from gaseous stream in a fixed-bed ofadsorbent. The adsorption experiments were performed with various gas flow rates, adsorption pressures and temperatures.The deactivation model was used to analyze the adsorption kinetics of CO2 using the experimental breakthrough data.From this work, it was found that the activation energies of adsorption and deactivation were 29.15 and 13.0 kJ/mol,respectively. And the experimental breakthrough curves were agree very well with the adsorption isotherm models basedon Freundlich equation.

Adsorption experiments of binary mixed gases composed of acetone/methylethylketone (MEK), MEK/benzene, MEK/toluene, and benzene/toluene were carried out on activated carbon fixed-bed. The variations of equilibrium adsorption capacity according to type and fraction of binary gas were investigated. In case of binary gases composed of acetone/MEK and benzene/toluene, equilibrium adsorption capacities of MEK and toluene were increased according to the increase of fraction of MEK and toluene, but equilibrium adsorption capacities of acetone and benzene were decreased. In case of binary gases composed of MEK/benzene and MEK/toluene, equilibrium adsorption capacities of benzene and toluene were increased according to the increase of fraction of benzene and toluene, but equilibrium adsorption capacities of MEK was decreased.
