본 연구에서는 바이오연료 생산을 위한 헤미셀룰로오스의 회수 목적으로 혼합 하드우드 칩을 크라프트(kraft) 펄핑공정 전에 녹액(green liquor)으로 선-펄핑추출(pre-pulping extraction) 하였다. 본 실험에 사용된 녹액은 황화나트륨과 탄산나트륨이 주요 성분이며, 이 녹액에 목재 건조 질량당 0, 1, 3, 5%의 알칼리(Na2O)를 각각 충진하였다. 가혹 조건에 따른 선-펄핑추출액의 구성 성분을 알아보기 위해 추출은 반응시간은 1~2 h로 달리하면서 160 oC 조건에서 실험을 수행하였다. 선-펄핑추출공정은 헤미셀룰로오스 추출시간과 녹액 주입 정도의 가혹도(severity)에 따라서 하향류 공정(downstream process)에서 활용 가능한 아세트산(acetic acid)과 단당류 농도, 그리고 유기산과 퓨란(furan)과 같은 분해 생성물의 축적 정도가 변한다. 본 연구 결과에서는 알칼리 주입 양이 증가할수록 헤미셀룰로오스에 존재하는 아세테이트(acetate)의 곁사슬과 용해성 및 리그닌의 양은 증가하지만, 추출액에서 탄수화물과 당류는 상당히 감소하였다. 특히 고온수(hot water)로 추출(알칼리 주입 0%)하는 경우 29.80 g/L 이상의 가장 많은 양의 탄수화물이 추출되었으나, 펄프 수율은 가장 많이 감소하였다. 또한 3% 녹액의 추출은 펄프 수율은 증가하였으나 당은 7.08 g/L로 많은 양이 감소하였다. 이 논문에서 얻어진 데이터를 통해 크라프트 펄핑공정에 추출공정 통합을 위한 헤미셀룰로오스 추출 조건을 최적화할 수 있을 것이다. Mixed hardwood chips were pre-pulping extracted with green liquor prior to kraft pulping in order to recover hemicelluloses for use as biofuels. This green liquor solution containing mainly sodium sulfide and sodium carbonate was applied at different alkali charges (expressed as Na2O) of 0, 1, 3, and 5% on dry wood weight. The extractions were performed at 160℃for residence times ranging from about 1-2 h to determine the effect of extraction severity on composition of the pre-pulping extract. The severity of hemicellulose extraction time and green liquor charge controls the concentration of acetic acid and monosaccharide sugars available for downstream processing, the accumulation of degradation products such as organic acids and furans in the extract. As the alkali charge was increased, the amount of acetate side chains on the hemicelluloses and the dissolved lignin in the extract increased but the carbohydrate and sugars in the extract decreased appreciably. Hot water extraction (0% alkali addition) released the greatest amount of carbohydrates, up to 29.80 g/L measured as component sugars, but resulted in the greatest decrease in pulp yield. Meanwhile, pre-pulping extraction with 3% green liquor increased the pulp yield while greatly reducing the component sugars to 7.08 g/L. Fundamental data obtained in this study will allow selection of optimum hemicellulose extraction conditions for integrating the extraction operation into the Kraft pulping process.

파쇄한 소나무와 참나무를 수중에서 Pb(II) 제거를 위한 흡착제로서 적용성을 검토하였다. 접촉시간, 초기 Pb(II) 농도, pH, 경쟁이온, 그리고 흡착제 주입량이 Pb(II) 흡착에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 회분 흡착 실험을 수행하였다. 동역학적 실험 결과, 소나무와 참나무에 Pb(II) 흡착은 유사 1차 모델과 유사 2차 모델 모두 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 평형 흡착 실험 결과는 결정계수가 소나무의 경우 0.956, 참나무의 경우 0.950으로 Freundlich 모델이 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 소나무와 참나무의 Pb(II) 최대 흡착양은 각각 16.853과 27.989 mg/g으로 나타났다. pH가 3에서 9로 증가함에 따라서 소나무와 참나무에 Pb(II) 흡착은 증가하였다. Na+, Ca2+, 그리고 Al3+와 같은 양이온의 존재는 Pb(II) 흡착을 감소시켰다. Pb(II) 흡착은 증류수 조건에서 보다 해수에서 흡착량이 컸으며, 이는 해수에 존재하는 CO32-와 OH- 이온이 Pb(II)와 화합물을 형성하기 때문이다. 본 연구를 통해서 Pb(II)로 오염된 물 정화에 소나무와 참나무가 활용될 것으로 판단된다. Crushed pinewood and oakwood were studied as an adsorbent for Pb(II) removal from aqueous solution. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to describe the effects of contact time, initial Pb(II) concentration, pH, competing cations, and adsorbent dosage on the Pb(II) adsorption process. Kinetic studies revealed that the Pb(II) adsorption process for pinewood and oakwood followed both pseudo first and pseudo second order model. The Fruendlich model best described equilibrium adsorption data with correlation coefficients (R2) of 0.956 and 0.950 for pinewood and oakwood. The maximum adsorption capacity of Pb(II) onto pinewood and oakwood was found to be 16.853 and 27.989 mg/g, respectively. The Pb(II) adsorption onto both pinewood and oakwood was increased as pH increased in the pH range 3-9. The presence of cations such as Na+, Ca2+, and Al3+ decreased Pb(II) adsorption. The Pb(II) removal was greater in seawater than deionized water, resulting from the presence of CO3 2- and OH- ions in seawater. This study showed that pinewood and oakwood have a potential application in the remediation of Pb(II) contaminated water.

The project to utilize kenaf as thermal power plant fuel has a positive effect on the unused energy utilization, greenhouse gas reduction, and farm income. However, it is analyzed that it is difficult to secure economical efficiency because the fuel cost of kenaf is higher than that of power by thermal power plant and Renewable Energy Certification (REC). The project of power generation using kenaf is meet the government’s major policies, while government support is essential for securing economical efficiency. As a result of the sensitivity analysis on the ratio of the government subsidies, to secure economical efficiency, the power generation prices using kenaf through the direct financial support of the government indicate that 47% and 76% of kenaf fuel cost are supported by government in case of the Saemangeum reclamation and Gangneung-si, respectively. In the case of the government indirect policy support, if kenaf is included as a renewable energy source of Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard and REC is granted, the economic efficiency of Saemangeum reclamation and Gangneung-si is obtained when REC secured at 1.05 or more and 2.43 or more, respectively. The results of this study are meaningful in that the direct and indirect effects of the government on the development of the herbaceous energy crop, kenaf, were evaluated economically. These results are to suggest the need for demonstration study, but economics analyze and evaluate are necessary based on operational data through the demonstration phase in the future.

The present study was conducted to investigate the adsorption potential of red mud for fluoride removal. Different operation parameters such as the effect of contact time, initial concentration, pH, competing anions, seawater, adsorbent dose amount, and adsorbent mixture were studied. Nearly 3 hr was required to reach sorption equilibrium. Equilibrium sorption data were described well by Langmuir model and the maximum adsorption capacity of red mud was 5.28 mg/g. The fluoride adsorption at pH 3 was higher than in the pH range 5-9. The presence of anions such as sulfate, nitrate, phosphate, and bicarbonate had no significant effect on fluoride adsorption onto red mud. The fluoride removal by red mud was greater in seawater than deionized water, resulting from the presence of calcium and magnesium ion in seawater. The use of red mud alone was more effective for the removal of fluoride than mixing red mud with other industrial waste such as oyster shells, lime stone, and steel slag. This study showed that red mud has a potential application in the remediation of fluoride contaminated soil and groundwater.

석탄화력발전소 온배수열 활용하여 발전소 인근지역 시설농업에 난방열을 공급하는 사업의 배관투자비는 설치거리에 비례하여 증가하고 발전소와 떨어진 거리는 경제성 확보에 문제를 낳는다. 또한, 설치거리가 짧은 경우는 난방열 수요 확보가 어려워 경제성 확보의 문제가 있을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기준 열배관로 신설길이 1 km에 대한 경제성 평가와 열배관로 신설길이 변동에 따른 민감도를 정부지원금 수준, 난방열 수요량 수준과 정부지원금 증가에 따른 경제성 확보가능 열배관로 신설거리 수준에서 분석하였다. 분석결과 기준 열배관로 신설길이에서는 NPV 131백만원, IRR 15.73%로 경제성을 확보 가능한 것으로 평가되었다. 다만, 민감도 분석결과 열배관로 신설길이가 2.6 km를 초과하는 경우 NPV가 음수로 나타나 경제성을 확보하지 못하는 것으로 분석되었다. 결과적으로 초기투자비의 50%를 정부가 지원하는 경우 5.3 km, 80%를 지원하는 경우 11.4 km 이내에서 경제성을 확보하는 것으로 분석되었다. 기준 열배관로 신설길이에서는 난방열 수요가 기준 열수요 대비 62% 수준 이하로 감소하는 경우 경제성이 없으며, 열배관로 신설길이가 2 km에서는 기준 열수요 대비 14%만 감소하여도 경제성을 확보하지 못하는 것으로 분석되었다. 초기투자비대비 정부지원금 비율이 증가하는 경우 열배관로 신설거리의 탄력성이 증가하여, 열수요 1단위에서 부담하는 시설투자비인 고정비가 감소한다. 이는 단위당 생산원가가 감소하는 효과로 나타나고 시설농업에 더 저렴한 수준으로 열을 공급할 수 있음을 의미한다. 정부지원금은 열배관로 신설거리가 증가하는 효과로 경제성이 확보될 수 있고, 열수요 개발가능 범위 증가에 따라 추가적인 경제성을 확보할 수 있다. 초기투자비 대비 정부지원금 비율이 증가할수록 생산단가 감소로 인한 시설농가의 에너지비용 또한 감소할 것으로 예측된다. 본 연구결과는 발전소 온배수열 활용사업에 대한 정부지원금의 효과성을 경제적 평가측면에서 분석한 점에서 의의를 가지며, 향후 시범적용 또는 Pilot 단계의 실제 적용사례를 기반으로 한 경제성 평가결과에 대한 필요성을 제기할 수 있는 근거가 된다. Utilizing the heat of cooling water discharge of coal-fired power plant, pipeline investment costs for businesses that supply heat to agricultural facilities near power plants increase in proportion to installation distance. On one hand, the distance from the power plant is a factor that brings difficulties to secure economic efficiency. On the other, if the installation distance is short, there is a problem of securing the heating demands, facility houses, which causes economical efficiency to suffer. In this study, the economic efficiency of 1km length of standard heat pipeline was evaluated. The sensitivity of the heat pipe to the new length variation was analyzed at the level of government subsidy, amount of heating demand and the incremental rate of pipeline with additional government subsidy. As a result of the analysis, it was estimated that NPV 131 million won and IRR 15.73%. The sensitivity analysis showed that NPV was negative when the length of heat pipe facility exceeded 2.6 km. If the government supports 50% of the initial investment, the efficiency is secured within the estimated length of 5.3 km, and if it supports 80%, the length increases within 11.4 km. If the heat demand is reduced to less than 62% at the new length of the standard heat pipe, it is expected economic efficiency is not obtained. If the ratio of government subsidies to initial investment increases, the elasticity of the new bloc will increase, and the fixed investment, which is the cost of capital investment for one unit of heating demand, will decrease. This would result in a reduction in the cost of production per unit, and it would be possible to supply heat at a cheaper price level to the facility farming. Government subsidies will result in the increased economic availability of hot plumbing facilities and additional efficiencies due to increased demand. The greater government subsidies to initial investment, the less farms cost due to the decrease in the price per unit. The results of the study are significant in terms of the economic evaluation of the effectiveness of the government subsidy for the thermal power plant heat utilization project. The implication can be applied to any related pilot to come.

Six-valent chromium ($Cr^{6+}$) is a highly toxic pollutant, supplied in a variety of industrial activities such as leather tanning, cooling tower blowdown, and plating. Herein, we investigated the removal of $Cr^{6+}$ from aqueous phase using low-cost adsorbents. Steel slag, montmorillonite, illite, kaolinite, red mud, and acid treated red mud with 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 M HCl were used as adsorbent for the removal of $Cr^{6+}$ and the results showed that acid treated red mud with 2.0 M HCl (ATRM-2.0 M) had higher adsorption capacity of $Cr^{6+}$ than other adsorbents used. Accordingly, $Cr^{6+}$ removal by ATRM-2.0 M were studied in a batch system with respect to changes in initial concentration of $Cr^{6+}$, initial solution pH, adsorbent dose, adsorbent mixture, and seawater. Equilibrium sorption data were described well by Freundlich isotherm model. The influence of initial solution pH on $Cr^{6+}$ adsorption was insignificant. The use of the ATRM-2.0 M alone was more effective than mixing it with other adsorbents including red mud, zeolite, oyster shell, lime stone, and montmorillonite for the removal of $Cr^{6+}$. The $Cr^{6+}$ removal of the ATRM-2.0 M was slightly less in seawater than deionized water, resulting from the presence of anions in seawater competing for the favorable adsorption site on the surface of ATRM-2.0 M. It was concluded that the ATRM-2.0 M can be used as a potential adsorbent for the removal of $Cr^{6+}$ from the aqueous solutions.
