초록

몽골은 전 세계에서 대기오염문제가 매우 심각한 나라 중 하나이다. 그 원인으로는 몽골 울란바타르시 내 게르촌에서 사용되는 저급연료의 난방연소 때문이다. 본 연구에서는, 몽골 울란바타르시 게르촌에서 사용되고 있는 저급연료 및 몽골 폐식용유의 연료품질을 분석하였으며, 전통난로와 시작품 연소난방장치의 연소테스트를 통해 환경성을 평가하였다. 또한 인체위험도 분석을 통해 난방장치의 대체효과를 평가하였다. 연료특성분석 결과, 몽골석탄 중 조개탄은 회분, N, S 함량이 높은 이유로 환경성이 상대적으로 안좋은 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 3종의 석탄에 비해 폐식용유를 연소하였을 때, 대기질 개선효과가 높은것으로 나타났다. 몽골 전통난로를 시작품난로(폐식용유 사용)로 교체할 경우, 몽골 울란바타르시의 대기환경문제를 개선할 수 있는 효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Mongolia is experiencing some of the world's most serious air pollution problems. The air pollution is especially severe during the winter when raw coal and low-grade fuels are used to heat homes in Ger villages. The impact of this pollution has created significant health and socioeconomic challenges for the country. In order to mitigate this air pollution, this study analyzed the fuel quality of the low-grade fuels and Mongolian waste cooking oils used in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Then the environmental characteristics of traditional stove combustion and a prototype combustion heating device were compared and analyzed. In addition, the effect of replacing the heating devices was evaluated by analyzing their risks to humans. Analysis of the fuel characteristics showed that briquettes had relatively low environmental properties as a result of their high ash, N and S content. Also, after analyzing the combustion characteristics, it was found that the air quality improvement effect was higher when waste cooking oil was burned compared to the three types of coal that were analyzed. Finally, this study evaluated the impact of replacing the Mongolia traditional stove with a prototype stove that uses waste cooking oil. The results of this study are expected to help to mitigate the air quality problems currently observed in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
