Fly ash, a by-product of the coal-burning industry, and a potential source of ferro-alumino-silicate minerals, which contains high amount of ferric oxide and manganese oxide (electron acceptors), was selected as soil amendment for reducing methane $(CH_4)$ emission during rice cultivation. The fly ash was applied into potted soils at the rate of 0, 2, 10, and 20 Mg $ha^{-1}$ before rice transplanting. $CH_4$ flux from the potted soil with rice plants was measured along with soil Eh and floodwater pH during the cropping season. $CH_4$ emission rates measured by closed chamber method decreased gradually with the increasing levels of fly ash applied but rice yield significantly increased up to 10 Mg $ha^{-1}$ application level of the amendment. At this amendment level, total seasonal $CH_4$ emission was decreased by 20% along with 17% rice grain yield increment over the control. The decrease in total $CH_4$ emission may be attributed due to suppression of $CH_4$ production by the high content of active and free iron, and manganese oxides, which acted as oxidizing agents as well as electron acceptors. In conclusion fly ash could be considered as a feasible soil amendment for reducing total seasonal $CH_4$ emissions as well as maintaining higher grain yield potential under optimum soil nutrients balance condition.

간척지 논 토양에서 석고의 처리는 염의 농도에 관계없이 고염도와 저염도 전체 토양에서 무처리 대비 71.3~98.9%까지 메탄 발생을 저감 할 수 있었다. 석고 처리에 따른 황산염을 증가는 전자수용체, 즉 황산염이온의 양 증대에 따른 전자의 활성저하와 황환원균의 활성증가가 메탄 발생을 저감시키는 가장 큰 요인인 것으로 판단된다. 간척지 논에 석고를 시용할 경우 부족한 칼슘의 공급효과를 통하여 토양의 물리성 및 배수 개선을 통하여 메탄 발생 감소에 영향을 줄 수 있었다. 또한 석고의 시용은 간척지 토양의 높은 pH와 높은 나트륨 이온을 효과적으로 저감할 수 있어 식물 생육 및 수량에 긍정적인 영향을 주었으며, 물리성 개선을 통하여 메탄 발생을 저감 시킬 수 있었다. 간척지 토양에서 석고의 시용은 벼 수량을 13.2~39.1%까지 증수 효과가 있었으나, 과량 처리시 오히려 생산성을 감소시켰다. 결론적으로 간척지에서 토양 개량을 위해 사용되어 지는 석고는 토양의 물리 화학성을 개선할 뿐만 아니라 메탄 발생을 효과적으로 저감할 수 있는 우수한 토양 개량제로서 평가되었다.

Experimental and numerical investigation on NOx emission characteristics with equivalence ratios, fuel flow rates and nozzle diameters were studied in CH4 Jet flames. Emission indices of NOx were measured by chemiluminescent method with carbon converter. Numerical analyses were carried out with GRl-2.11 mechanism that includes C2-chemistry and all of NO reaction mechanisims. The roles of thermal NO and prompt NO mechanism on each flame's NOx emission index were investigated. The results of this study show that the numerical results represent well the trends of ElNOx experimentally observed. The numerical analyses clarified the trends of EINOx with equivalence ratios, fuel flow rates and nozzle diameters.

We have studied the field emission characteristics of diamond-like-carbon (DLC) films deposited by a layer-by-layer technique using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, in which the deposition of a thin layer of DLC and a CH4 plasma exposure on its surface were carried out alternatively. The hydrogen-free DLC can be deposited by CH4 plasma exposure for 140 sec on a 5 nm DLC layer. N2 gas-phase doping in the CH4 plasma was also carried out to reduce the work function of the DLC. The optimum [N2]/[CH4] flow rate ratio was found to be 9% for the efficient electron emission, at which the onset-field was 7.2 V/$\mu\textrm{m}$. It was found that the hydrogen-free DLC has a stable electron emitting property.

간척지 논 토양에서 염 농도에 따른 메탄 배출특성을 조사하기 위하여 포트 실험을 실시한 결과, 염 농도의 증가는 메탄 배출량 감소와 벼 생육 및 수량성 악화에 영향을 주는 것으로 조사되었다. 벼 재배기간 중 높은 EC와 pH로 인한 메탄생성균의 활성 감소와 벼 생육 악화에 따른 메탄 배출량 감소가 주요 원인으로 평가되었다. 토양의 EC와 pH는 총 메탄배출량과 고도의 부의 상관관계를 나타내었으며, 벼 생육(초장 및 분얼)과는 정의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 하지만 주로 높은 EC에 의한 메탄 저감효과는 벼의 생육 초기에 대부분 나타났으며, 생육 후기로 갈수록 염의 희석효과에 의하여 저감효과가 크게 감소되는 것으로 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 통하여 간척지 논 토양의 염 농도가 메탄 배출량에 감소에 큰 영향을 줄 수 있는 것으로 평가되며, 간척지 논 토양에서 메탄 배출량 평가 또는 예측에 좋은 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Hydrogenated amorphous carbon(a-C:H) films are prepared by rf plasma CVD in a $CH_4$ source gas system diluted with Ar of $H_2$. The spectra of emissive and reactive species in the plasma are detected using in stiu optical emission spectroscopy. Inaddition, the relationship between the film properties which can be varied by the deposition parameters and the Raman spectra is studied. In the $CH_4/H_2$ gas system, the emission intensities of CH and $H \tau$ decrease and those of $H \alpha$, $H \beta$, $C_2$ and Ar increase with increasing $H_2$ concentration, The formation of $C_2$ and CH in the $CH_4/Ar/H_2$ gas system is greatly suppressed by hydrogen addition and the excess of hydrogen addition is found to form graphite structure. The $C_2$ formation in the gas phase enhances a-C:H film formation.

This study was performed for measuring the emission of greenhouse gases, $CH_4,\;N_2O$, from the composting process for pig slurry. For the experiment the benchscale pilot plant was designed by 1$m^3$ volume reactor with a closed type and operated; sawdust 142kg filled before input slurry, slurry about 10~20l inputed per day (total 380l), air supplied 5l/min for 24 hours, mixing time 10 min./day and 1 time a day. From the total experiment period(30days), the amount of VS degradation and emission $CH_4$, $N_2O$ were 10.9kg-VS and 1,582.4g-$CH_4$, 68.1g-$N_2O$ respectively. Based on VS inputed the emission of $CH_4$, $N_2O$ were 15.3(g-$CH_4$/kg-V $S_{input}$), 0.7(g-$N_2O$ /kg-V $S_{input}$), and based on VS degradated were 145.2(g-$CH_4$/kg-V $S_{removed}$), 6.2(g-$N_2O$ /kg-V $S_{removed}$).

Emissions of nitrous oxide (N$_2$O) and methane (CH$_4$) from poultry enteric fermentation were investigated using a respiration chamber. Birds were placed in a respiration chamber for certain intervals during their growing period or for the whole life cycle. The accumulated gas inside the chamber was sampled and analyzed for N$_2$O and CH$_4$ production. A curve for gas production during a life cycle was fitted. The calculated area under the curve estimated the emission factor of poultry enteric fermentation on a life cycle basis (mg bird$^{-1}$ life cycle$^{-1}$). This method can be used to estimate CH$_4$ or N$_2$O emissions from different types of avian species taking into account factors such as diet, season or thermal effects. The CH$_4$/N$_2$O emission factors estimated for commercial broiler chickens, Taiwan country chickens and White Roman Geese were 15.87/0.03, 84.8/16.4 and 1,500/49 (mg bird$^{-1}$ life cycle$^{-1}$), respectively, while the calculated CH$_4$/N$_2$O emission from enteric fermentations were 3.03/0.006, 14.73/2.84 and 9.5/0.31 (Mg year$^{-1}$), respectively in Taiwan in the year of 2000. The described method is applicable to most poultry species and the reported emission factors were applicable to meat type poultry only.

Phospho-gypsum a primary waste by-product in phosphate fertilizer manufacturing industry and a potential source of electron acceptors, such as mainly of sulfate and a trace amount of iron and manganese oxides, was selected as soil amendment for reducing methane $(CH_4)$ emissions during rice cultivation. The selected amendment was added into potted soils at the rate of 0, 2, 10, and 20 Mg $ha^{-1}$ before rice transplanting. $CH_4$ flux from the potted soil with rice plant was measured along with soil Eh and floodwater pH during the rice cultivation period. $CH_4$ emission rates measured by closed chamber method decreased with increasing levels of phospho-gypsum application, but rice yield markedly increased up to 10 Mg $ha^{-1}$ of the amendment. At this amendment level, total $CH_4$ emissions were reduced by 24% along with 15% rice grain yield increment over the control. The decrease in total $CH_4$ emission may be attributed due to shifting of electron flow from methanogenesis to sulfate reduction under anaerobic soil conditions.

논 생태계를 모의하여 토양에 투입된 비료의 종류(AS, PMC, HV)와 토양 수분 변동조건(습윤기간, 전이기간, 건조 기간)으로 구분하여 $CH_4$과 $CO_2$ 플럭스를 조사하였다. $CH_4$ 플럭스는 0~13.8 mg $CH_4$/m/day의 범위에서 변화하였으 며, 시기적으로 습윤기간 초기와 전이기간과 건조기간 경계 시점에서 높은 값을 보였다. $CO_2$ 플럭스는 습윤 초기에 최대 치를 보이고 지속적으로 감소하다가 전이기간에 다시 상승하 였다. 최종토양의 탄소함량 변화는 대조구에서-5.4%이었고, 비료 처리구에서는-7.5~-16.4%이었다. HV 시용은 타 비종 에 비해 $CH_4$과 $CO_2$ 플럭스를 증가시켰는데, 이는 녹비작물 이 가축분 퇴비에 비해 상대적으로 이분해성으로 배양 초기 에 유기물 분해에 의해 $CH_4$과 $CO_2$ 발생량이 높았기 때문이 다. AS나 PMC 처리구에서 $CH_4$ 플럭스가 대조구에 비해 낮았는데, 이는 AS의 ${SO_4}^{2-}$와 퇴비에 함유된 산화형 물질($Fe^{3+}$, $Mn^{4+}$, ${NO_3}^-$)과 같은 전자 수용체에 의해 습윤기간 중 이들 물질이 전자수용체로 활용되어 $CH_4$ 생성이 감소할 수 있음 을 의미한다. PMC와 HV의 탄소 손실률을 비교하면, HV와 같은 이분해성 유기물에 비해 PMC와 같은 난분해성 유기물 의 시용이 토양 탄소량을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 본 연구는 HV와 같은 녹비 작물이 질소 공급의 측면에서 화 학비료를 대체할 수 있지만, 화학비료 시용에 비해 $CH_4$ 발생 이 증가할 수 있음을 제시한다. 따라서, 이분해성 유기물(녹비 작물)과 난분해성 유기물(가축분퇴비)을 혼합 시용할 경우 양 분공급과 탄소저장량 증대에 모두 유리할 것으로 기대된다.
