Tomatoes in greenhouse are a widely cultivated horticultural crop worldwide, accounting for high production and production value. When greenhouse ventilation is minimized during low temperature periods, CO2 enrichment is often used to increase tomato photosynthetic rate and yield. Plant-induced electrical signal (PIES) can be used as a technology to monitor changes in the biological response of crops due to environmental changes by using the principle of measuring the resistance value, or impedance, within the crop. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between tomato growth data, vital response, and PIES resulting from CO2 enrichment in greenhouse tomatoes. The growth of tomato treated with CO2 enrichment in the morning was significantly better in all items except stem diameter compared to the control, and PIES values were also higher. The growth of tomato continuously applied with CO2 was better in the treatment groups than control, and there was no significant difference in chlorophyll fluorescence and photosynthesis. However, PIES and SPAD values were higher in the CO2 treatment group than control. CO2 enrichment have a direct relationship with PIES, growth increased, and transpiration increased due to the increased leaf area, resulting in increased water absorption, which appears to be reflected in PIES, which measures vascular impedance. Through this, this study suggests that PIES can be used to monitor crops due to environmental changes, and that PIES is a useful method for non-destructively and continuously monitoring changes of crops.

본 연구에서는 이산화탄소 포집 및 물 재이용을 위한 통합 시스템으로서 정삼투 공정의 적용 가능성에 대한 평가를 수행하였다. 해당 통합 공정은 이산화탄소 배출 저감을 위해 화력발전소에 적용되고 있는 습식 이산화탄소 포집설비에 정삼투 기반 공정을 추가함으로써 이산화탄소 포집뿐만 아니라 물 재이용 및 냉각수 생산을 동시에 달성할 수 있다. CO2를 흡수한 5M의 모노에탄올아민(습식용매)을 유도용액으로 적용한 결과 40 LMH (FO mode) 및 85 LMH (PRO mode)라는 매우 높은 수투과도를 얻을 수 있었다.

바이오 메탄을 생산하기 위해 물리흡수제 특성평가 및 CO2/CH4 흡수 연구를 진행하였다. 상용 물리흡수제 중 프로필렌카보네이트(PC)는 PP 중공사막과 가장 높은 58.3° 접촉각을 보였고, 5 wt% PC를 물과 혼합할 경우 90° 이상의 접촉각 이 관찰되었다. PC/물 혼합 흡수제는 약 0.150 mmol/g의 흡수량으로 물 흡수제에 비해 높은 CO2 흡수능을 같는 것으로 보이며, 막접촉기에 가장 적합한 물 리흡수제로 선정되었다. PC/물 혼합 흡수제를 막접촉기을 통해 측정된 CO2 제 거율 약 98.0%, CH4 순도는 약 98.4%으로 바이오 메탄 정제를 위한 흡수제로 높은 가능성을 보여주었다. 그러나 물보다 우수한 PC의 CO2 흡수능에 맞추어 막접촉기 탈기 막 모듈 및 시스템 개선이 필요하다.

바이오 가스로부터 바이오 메탄을 생산하기 위해 물리흡수제 특성평가 및 CO2/CH4흡수 연구를 진행하였고, polypropylene (PP) 중공사막 막접촉기에 적용해보았다. 물리흡수제 중 propylene carbonate (PC)는 PP 중공사막과 가장 높은 58.3° 접촉각을 보였고, 5 wt% PC를 물과 혼합할 경우 90° 이상의 접촉각이 관찰되었다. 또한 CO2 흡수실험에서 PC/물 혼합 흡수제는 물 흡수량(0.121 mmol/g) 보다 높은 0.148-0.157 mmol/g의 흡수량을 보이며, 막접촉기에 가장 적합한 물리흡수제로 선정되었다. PC/물 혼합 흡수제를 막접촉기에 적용 후 얻어진 CO2 제거율(98.0-97.8%)과 CH4 순도(98.5-98.3%)는 바이오 메 탄으로서 매우 높은 가능성을 보여주었다. 하지만 PC/물 혼합 흡수제의 경우에는 물 흡수제와 비교하여 성능 변화가 매우 미 비하였다. 이는 물보다 우수한 PC 흡수능과 함께 그에 따른 막접촉기 탈기 막 모듈 및 시스템 개선과 공급 유량 조절을 통해 CH4 손실 최소화 등 공정 최적화가 필요한 것으로 분석된다.

Green Infrastructure (GI) approach provides significant benefits to cities and communities. GI applications would provide multi-benefits such as the reduction in building energy demand, stormwater management, urban heat island reduction, habitat creation, etc. GI is nowadays considered as a multi-benefit best management practice (BMP) at diverse levels of government. The purpose of this study is to find out the positive effects of GI application, and Geographic Information System (GIS) is used for the accurate and efficient analysis. Two polygon data, ‘GreenRoof’ and ‘ParkingPlace’ are produced with a satellite imagery extracted from Google Earth Pro. These data are used to calculate total available spaces for green roof and permeable pavement in the campus of Chungbuk National University. After GI application in the campus, 13.2% of landcover is converted to green spaces and this change results in expanding the green network of Cheongju city. The result of this study shows that green roof application can absorb 4576.95 kg/yr of Carbon Dioxide and possibly reduce maximum 1,497,600L urban runoff. This study proves how GI is valuable for the city environment with quantitative analyses.

Deacidification of waste cooking oil such as, palm oil or soybean oil, using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) extraction has been widely investigated for reusing waste cooking oil. The deacidification process using scCO2 has been carried out under various experimental conditions temperature range between 40 and 100oC, pressure range between 20 and 35 MPa, CO2 flow rate range between 10 and 40 g/min, and extraction time range from 1 to 7 hours. The purified waste oils were characterized by their acid value and peroxide value measured. The optimized conditions were deduced in this paper at the temperature of 80oC, pressure of 20 MPa, and CO2 flow rate of 40 g/min. At the optimized operating condition the peroxide value was existed between 40 and 100. Also 80% of the purified oil was recovered. The properties of the purified oil were shown as similar to those of the pure oil.
