2021년 기준 4,339개소의 공공하수처리시설에서 발생하는 하수찌꺼기는 년간 4,271,110톤으로 하수처리장 신·증설 등으로 인해 매년 증가하고 있다. 하수찌꺼기 등 유기성폐자원의 처리를 위해서 퇴비화, 혐기성 소화, 열분해, 소각, 매립 등 다양한 방법이 적용되고 있다. 특히 혐기성 소화는 잔류고형물 저감, 자본비와 운영비 절감, 바이오에너지 생산 및 환경에 대한 영향 최소화 등의 장점을 지니고 있어 실행 가능한 방법 중의 하나로 간주되고 있다. 그러나 하수찌꺼기 등과 같이 고형물을 함유한 유기성폐자원의 혐기성 소화 시 가수분해 반응은 율속단계로 알려져 있다. 따라서 혐기성 소화 시 가수분해 효율을 증진하기 위하여 초음파, 마이크로웨이브, 화학적 전처리, 열가수분해 등의 방법이 적용되고 있다. 특히 열가수분해의 경우 지난 20년간 관련 연구가 꾸준히 이루어져 많은 수의 실 규모 시설이 현장에 적용되었다. 그럼에도 불구하고 높은 에너지 소비, 혐기성 소화 저해물질 생성 및 색도로 인한 자외선 소독 효율 저감 등으로 인해 아직도 관련 연구가 지속적으로 진행 중이다 따라서 본 논문에서는 하수찌꺼기의 안정화와 혐기성 소화조의 효율 향상을 위해 가용화 기술 중 대표적이고 상용화가 가장 많이 이루어진 열가수분해에 대해 고찰하고자 한다. 특히 하수처리시설에서 열가수분해와 혐기성 소화조를 연계 하는 경우 예상되는 문제점과 해결방안에 대한 제시를 통해 혐기성 소화조의 안정성 및 메탄 발생량 향상, 하수처리시설 찌꺼기의 효율적 저감 및 에너지 자립화에 기여하고자 한다.

전 세계적으로 배출되는 폐플라스틱을 석유화학제품으로 재활용하는 순환경제가 본격화되고 있다. 따라서, 화학적 재활용 중 하나인 폐플라스틱 열분해유 생산을 위한 파일럿 규모의 시설도 건설되 고 상업적 생산이 시작되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 파일럿 플랜트에서 조건별로 생산된 총 4종의 폐플라 스틱 열분해유를 활용하기 위해 분리된 각각의 유분의 물성 및 구성성분 분석을 통해 나프타, 선박유 및 보일러유 등 다양한 원료‧연료 등으로 사용이 가능한지 확인해보고자 한다. 폐플라스틱 열분해유의 넓은 비점으로 인하여 경질유분은 상압 및 감압증류를 통해 분리하였고, 중질유분은 감압증류를 통해 분 리하였다. 경질유분(fraction 1)은 나프타를 목적으로 물리적 특성, 탄소분포 및 구성성분을 분석하였는 데, 탄소분포, 비점 등은 적합하지만, 초기 폐플라스틱 열분해유에 비해 염소 함량, 올레핀 및 방향족이 높아 전처리공정이 필요하다, 또한 중질유분(fraction 2)은 보일러유 등을 목적으로 할 때, 적합한 밀도, 동점도, 발열량 및 윤활성 등 물리적 특성을 가졌지만, Si 및 전산가 등이 높았다. 분리하고 남은 잔류물 (residue)은 높은 발열량, 낮은 황 함량, 산소 함량 등은 C중유급 연료로서의 사용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다. 결론적으로, 분리된 폐플라스틱 열분해유에서 분리되는 모든 유분은 전처리만 가능하다면 나프 타 원료뿐만 아니라 저급 연료로도 활용이 가능하리라 판단된다.

Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) has been used as a representative transparent conductive oxide (TCO) in various optoelectronic applications, including light emitting diodes, solar cells, photo-detectors, and electrochromic devices. The FTO plays an important role in providing electron transfer between active layers and external circuits while maintaining high transmittance in the devices. Herein, we report the effects of substrate rotation speed on the electrical and optical properties of FTO films during ultrasonic spray pyrolysis deposition (USPD). The substrate rotation speeds were adjusted to 2, 6, 10, and 14 rpm. As the substrate rotation speed increased from 2 to 14 rpm, the FTO films exhibited different film morphologies, including crystallite size, surface roughness, crystal texture, and film thickness. This FTO film engineering can be attributed to the variable nucleation and growth behaviors of FTO crystallites according to substrate rotation speeds during USPD. Among the FTO films with different substrate rotation speeds, the FTO film fabricated at 6 rpm showed the best optimized TCO characteristics when considering both electrical (sheet resistance of 13.73 Ω/□) and optical (average transmittance of 86.76 % at 400~700 nm) properties with a figure of merit (0.018 Ω-1).

Recently, air pollution from fossil fuels is at a serious level, and the IMO proposes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 70% by 2050, and controls greenhouse gas emissions by applying the energy efficiency disign index(EEDI) to each ship type. In this study, the marine fuel oil viscosity of MGO, MDO, HFO and CGO according to the temperature change was compared and measured and the difference was analyzed. As a result, the viscosity of CGO was 3.32mPa·s, which was almost similar to MGO(3.40mPa·s) and MDO(3.51mPa·s) so it was judged that it could be used as a marine fuel, and it was found that there was a significant difference with HFO at P<0.01 there was.

In this study, ultrasonic spray pyrolysis combined with salt-assisted decomposition, a process that adds sodium nitrate (NaNO3) into a titanium precursor solution, is used to synthesize nanosized titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles. The added NaNO3 prevents the agglomeration of the primary nanoparticles in the pyrolysis process. The nanoparticles are obtained after a washing process, removing NaNO3 and NaF from the secondary particles, which consist of the salts and TiO2 nanoparticles. The effects of pyrolysis temperature on the size, crystallographic characteristics, and bandgap energy of the synthesized nanoparticles are systematically investigated. The synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles have a size of approximately 2–10 nm a bandgap energy of 3.1–3.25 eV, depending on the synthetic temperature. These differences in properties affect the photocatalytic activities of the synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles.

Li-incorporated ZnO thin films were deposited by using ultrasonic-assisted spray pyrolysis deposition (SPD) system. To investigate the effect of Li-incorporation on the performance of ZnO thin films, the structural, electrical, and optical properites of the ZnO thin films were analyzed by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emssion scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Hall effect measurement, and UV-Vis spectrophotometry with variation of the Li concentraion in the ZnO sources. Without incorporation of Li element, the ZnO surface showed large spiral domains. As the Li content increases, the size of spiral domains decreased gradually, and finally formed mixed small grain and one-dimensional nanorod-like structures on the surface. This morphological evolution was explained based on an anti-surfactant effect of Li atoms on the ZnO growth surface. In addition, the Li-incorporation changed the optical and electrical properties of the ZnO thin films by modifying the crystalline defect structures by doping effects.

Inorganic phosphors based on ZrO2:Eu3+ nanoparticles were synthesized by a salt-assisted ultrasonic spray pyrolysis process that is suitable for industrially-scalable production because of its continuous nature and because it does not require expensive precursors, long reaction time, physical templates or surfactant. This facile process results in the formation of tiny, highly crystalline spherical nanoparticles without hard agglomeration. The powder X-ray diffraction patterns of the ZrO2:Eu3+ (1-20 mol%) confirmed the body centered tetragonal phase. The average particle size, estimated from the Scherrer equation and from TEM images, was found to be approximately 11 nm. Photoluminescence (PL) emission was recorded under 266 nm excitation and shows an intense emission peak at 607 nm, along with other emission peaks at 580, 592 and 632 nm which are indicated in red.

Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. The morphologies, crystal structures, chemical bonding states, and electrochemical properties of the nanoparticles are investigated. The FTO nanoparticles show uniform morphology and size distribution in the range of 6-10 nm. The FTO nanoparticles exhibit excellent electrochemical performance with high discharge specific capacity and good cycling stability (620mA h g−1 capacity retention up to 50 cycles), as well as excellent high-rate performance (250 mA h g−1 at 700mAg−1) compared to that of commercial SnO2. The improved electrochemical performance can be explained by two main effects. First, the excellent cycling stability with high discharge capacity is attributed to the nano-sized FTO particles, which are related to the increased electrochemical active area between the electrode and electrolyte. Second, the superb high-rate performance and the excellent cycling stability are ascribed to the increased electrical conductivity, which results from the introduction of fluorine doping in SnO2. This noble electrode structure can provide powerful potential anode materials for high-performance lithiumion batteries.

Hydrogen is considered a potential future energy source. Among other applications of hydrogen, hydrogen-rich water is emerging as a new health care product in industrial areas. Water electrolysis is typically used to generate a hydrogen rich water system. We annealed 10AA carbon paper in air to use it as an electrode of a hydrogen rich water generator. Driven by annealing, structural changes of the carbon paper were identified by secondary electron microscope analysis. Depending on the various annealing temperatures, changes of the hydrophilic characteristics were demonstrated. The crystal structures of pristine and heat-treated carbon paper were characterized by X-ray diffraction. Improvement of the efficiency of the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction was measured via linear voltammetry. The optimized annealing temperature of 10AA carbon paper showed the possibility of using this material as an effective hydrogen rich water generator.

Silicon carbide(SiC) layer is particularly important tri-isotropic (TRISO) coating layers because it acts as a miniature pressure vessel and a diffusion barrier to gaseous and metallic fission products in the TRISO coated particle. The high temperature deposition of SiC layer normally performed at 1500-1650˚C has a negative effect on the property of IPyC layer by increasing its anisotropy. To investigate the feasibility of lower temperature SiC deposition, the influence of deposition temperature on the property of SiC layer are examined in this study. While the SiC layer coated at 1500˚C obtains nearly stoichiometric composition, the composition of the SiC layer coated at 1300-1400˚C shows discrepancy from stoichiometric ratio(1:1). 3-7μm grain size of SiC layer coated at 1500˚C is decreased to sub-micrometer (＜ 1μm) -2μm grain size when coated at 1400˚C, and further decreased to nano grain size when coated at 1300-1350˚C. Moreover, the high density of SiC layer (≥3.19g/cm3) which is easily obtained at 1500˚C coating is difficult to achieve at lower temperature owing to nano size pores. the density is remarkably decreased with decreasing SiC deposition temperature.

Much research into fuel cells operating at a temperature below 800℃. is being performed. There are sig-nificant efforts to replace the yttria-stabilized zirconia electrolyte with a doped ceria electrolyte that has high ionic con-ductivity even at a lower temperature. Even if the doped ceria electrolyte has high ionic conductivity, it also shows highelectronic conductivity in a reducing environment, therefore, when used as a solid electrolyte of a fuel cell, the power-generation efficiency and mechanical properties of the fuel cell may be degraded. In this study, gadolinium-doped ceriananopowder with Al2O3 and Mn2O3 as a reinforcing and electron trapping agents were synthesized by ultrasonic pyrol-ysis process. After firing, their microstructure and mechanical and electrical properties were investigated and comparedwith those of pure gadolinium-doped ceria specimen.

Silicon nanoparticle is a promising material for electronic devices, photovoltaics, and biological applications. Here, we synthesize silicon nanoparticles via CO2 laser pyrolysis and study the hydrogen flow effects on the characteristics of silicon nanoparticles using high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometry. In CO2 laser pyrolysis, used to synthesize the silicon nanoparticles, the wavelength of the CO2 laser matches the absorption cross section of silane. Silane absorbs the CO2 laser energy at a wavelength of 10.6μm. Therefore, the laser excites silane, dissociating it to Si radical. Finally, nucleation and growth of the Si radicals generates various silicon nanoparticle. In addition, researchers can introduce hydrogen gas into silane to control the characteristics of silicon nanoparticles. Changing the hydrogen flow rate affects the nanoparticle size and crystallinity of silicon nanoparticles. Specifically, a high hydrogen flow rate produces small silicon nanoparticles and induces low crystallinity. We attribute these characteristics to the low density of the Si precursor, high hydrogen passivation probability on the surface of the silicon nanoparticles, and low reaction temperature during the synthesis.

In case of domestic pyrolysis dry distillation gassification technology, it stays at the stage of its early introduction and development. Moreover, the companies possessed of this technology are limited to Japan and some countries in Europe, and domestic operative performance of this system is nominal, so there exist a lot of difficulties in securing its basic data. In addition, considering its operation and management, there happens a corrosion of metals by the production of corrosive gases in time of combustion of waste, and there arise a problem of occurrence of low temperature corrosion on exterior casing or gas ducts of a combustion chamber due to the high temperature corrosion around the burner of an incinerator, lowering the durability of an incinerator. Therefore, this study looked at the problems arising in time of incineration by understanding the characteristics of the pyrolysis dry distillation gassification incinerating facility, and did research on the improvement plan for durability of an incinerator for more economic, efficient waste incineration.
