Abstract

This study was performed to the municipal waste generation amounts and characteristics for B city in Gangwon province, predicted the methane gas generation rate emitted from landfill, and analyzed the possibility of energy recovery to RDF(Refuse Derived Fuel) using combustible waste. The study results showed that the average bulk density of municipal waste for B city was 144.0 kg/$m^3$, and the average ratios of combustible waste were 36.0 % of paper, 21.6 % of vinyl, and 19.7 % of food waste. respectively. In the experiment for heating value, high and low heating value(moisture) was measured to 3,471 $kca{\ell}$/kg and 2,941 $kca{\ell}$/kg, respectively. After the prohibition of burying of food waste in landfill, the heating value of municipal waste was dramatically increased due to increase of the ratio of paper, vinyl, and plastic waste. The prediction results of methane gas generation rate emitted from landfill showed that the gas generation rate is increasing to 2,505.7 CH4 ton/year in 2021. After then, the rate is decreasing gradually. When the RDF facility is installed, the rate is decreasing after peaking at 1,956.9 CH4 ton/year in 2013. The generation rate of LFG emitted from waste landfill of B city was analyzed to 9.92 $m^3$/min, similar to 10.11 $m^3$/min for other city.

본 연구는 신재생에너지 활용을 위하여 강원도의 B 지자체를 대상으로 폐기물 발생특성에 따른 매립가스 발생량 및 자원화 가능성에 대하여 연구하였다. B 지자체의 생활폐기물 평균 겉보기 밀도는 144 kg/$m^3$로, 가스 물질 및 연료화 가능성 물질인 가연성 평균 폐기물 조성비는 종이류 36.0 %, 비닐 플라스틱류 21.6 %, 음식물류 19.7 %로 조사되었다. 발열량 분석결과, 고위발열량(습윤) 3,471 $kca{\ell}$/kg, 저위발열량(습윤) 2,941 $kca{\ell}$/kg로 측정되었으며, 특히 음식물류 폐기물의 매립지 직매립이 금지된 후 에는 발열량이 높은 종이류와 비닐 플라스틱의 비율이 증가하여 발열량이 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 매립지에서 발생하는 메탄가스는 2021년(2,505.7 CH4 ton/year)을 정점으로 점차 감소하는 것으로 예측되었는데, 특히 RDF(Refuse Derived Fuel) 제조시설이 설치되면 2013년(1,956.9 CH4 ton/year)을 정점으로 감소되는 것으로 예측되었다. B 지자체의 매립지에서 발생하는 매립가스(Land Fill Gas; LFG) 추정량은 9.92 $m^3$/min 로 예측되어 타 지자체에서 발생하는 매립가스 추정량(10.11 $m^3$/min)과 유사하게 조사되었다.
