Abstract

This study investigated the possibility of treating heavy metal pollutants existing in the air in addition to simultaneously removing NOx and SOx by injecting oxidizing and reducing agents into a scrubber into a microbubble device to create an eco-friendly method that does not generate secondary pollutants. Lead compound (Pb) was selected as the heavy metal substance in the air to be treated with microbubbles, and the removal efficiency was confirmed. By treating microbubbles by connecting them to a scrubber, it was confirmed that not only NOx and SOx but also heavy metal substances in the air were reduced, cost was reduced, and secondary environmental pollutants were not generated. Through this study, it was possible to simultaneously remove NOx, SOx, and heavy metals at low cost by applying an eco-friendly method, rather than the existing high-cost treatment method such as SCR. If oxidizing agent, reducing agent, and microbubbles are used appropriately, economical and efficient air pollution can be achieved. Since material processing was possible, it is expected to be helpful in the technological development of environmental prevention facilities.

본 연구는 NOx, SOx를 동시 제거하는 방법에 추가로 대기 중에 존재하는 중금속 오염물질에 대해 처리가능한지를 스크러버에 산화제와 환원제를 마이크로버블 장치에 투입하여 2차 오염물질이 발생 되지 않는 친환경적인 처리방식을 연구하고자 하였다. 마이크로버블로 처리하고자 하는 대기 중 중금속 물질은 납화합물(Pb)을 선정하여 제거효율을 확인하였다. 마이크로버블을 스크러버에 연결하여 처리함으로써 NOx, SOx 뿐만 아니라 대기 중 중금속 물질 저감효과 및 비용 절감과 2차 환경오염물질이 발생 되지 않는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 기존에 SCR과 같이 고비용의 처리방식이 아닌 친환경적인 방법을 적용하여 저비용으로 NOx, SOx, 중금속을 동시 제거가 가능하였으며, 산화제와 환원제 및 마이크로버블을 적절히 사용하면 경제적이고 효율적인 대기오염물질 처리가 가능하였으므로 환경방지시설의 기술 발전에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.
