Although anthracite power plant acts as the important source of greenhouse gas emissions, relatively little is known about its emission potentials. Especially, because the emissions of Non-$CO_2$ greenhouse gas $CH_4$ and $N_2O$ are strongly dependent on fuel type and technology available, it is desirable to obtain the information concerning their emission pattens. In this study, the anthracite power plants in Korea were investigated and the emission gases were analyzed using GC/FID and GC/ECD to develop Non-$CO_2$ emission factors. The anthracite samples were also analyzed to quantity the amount of carbon and hydrogen using an element analyzer, while calorie was measured by an automatic calorie analyzer. The emission factor of $CH_4$ and $N_2O$ computed through the gas analysis corresponded to 0.73 and 1.98 kg/TJ, respectively. Compared with IPCC values, the $CH_4$ emission factor in this study was about 25% lower, while that of $N_2O$ was higher by about 40%. More research is needed to extend our database for emission factors of various energy-consuming facilities in order to stand on a higher position.

Up to the present time, many methods to estimate emissions from a particular diesel engines have wholly depended on the quantity of diesel fuel consumed. Then, the recommended emission factors were normalized by fuel consumption, and further total activity was estimated by the total fuel consumed. One of main purposes in the study is newly to develop emission factors for the railroad diesel rolling stock (RDRS) and to estimate a total amount of major gaseous pollutants from the RDRS in Korea. Prior to develop a Korean mode emission factor. the emission factor from the USEPA was simply applied for comparative studies. When applying the USEPA emission factors, total exhaust emissions from the RDRS in Korea were estimated by 28,117tons of NOx, 2,832.3tons of CO, and 1,237.5tons of HC, etc in 2001. In this study, a emission factor for the RDRS, so called the KoRail mode (the Korean Railroad mode) has been developed on the basis of analyzing the driving pattern of the Gyeongbu-Line especially for the line-haul mode. Explicitly to make the site specific emission factors, many uncertainty problems concerning weighting factors for each power mode, limited emission test, incomplete data for RDRS, and other important input parameters were extensively examined. Total exhaust emissions by KoRail mode in Korea were estimated by 10,960tons of NOx, and 4,622tons of CO, and so on in the year of 2001. The emissions estimated by the USEPA mode were 2.6 times higher for NOx, and 1.6 times lower for CO than those by the KoRail mode. As a conclusion, based on the emission calculated from both the USEPA mode and the KoRail mode, the RDRS is considered as one of the significant mobile sources for major gaseous pollutants and thus management plans an(1 control strategies for the RDRS must be established to improve air quality near future in Korea.

It is well known that SOx and NOx concentration has a considerable influence on the $N_2O$ emission of the greenhouse gas properties. The quantity of SOx generated during combustion, on fuel specific basis, is directly related to the sulfur content of the fuel oil. However, restricting the fuel oil sulfur content is only a partial response to limiting the overall quantity of SOx emissions, as there remains no over control on the fuel oil consumption other than the commercial pressure which have always directed the attention. This study was carried out as a new basic experiment method of emission control, manly targeted to the vessel. In the experiment, where the scrubbing was achieved through spray tower with high alkaline water made from the electrolysis of seawater, the combined action was to neutralize the exhaust gases (SOx, PM, CO etc.), dilute it, and wash it out. The results showed that SOx reduction of around 95 percent or over could be achieved when using in the high alkaline water, and also leaded to a reduction in the stability of the each pollutant components including the PM (Particulate Matter). The results suggest that the seawater electrolysis method has a very effective reduction of emissions without heavy cost, or catalysts particularly on board.

The effect of pilot injection quantity on the combustion and emissions characteristics of a compression ignition engine with a biodiesel-compressed natural gas (CNG) dual fuel combustion (DFC) system is studied in this work. Biodiesel is used as a pilot injection fuel to ignite the main fuel, CNG of DFC. The pilot injection quantity is controlled to investigate the characteristics of combustion and exhaust emissions in a single cylinder diesel engine. The injection pressure and injection timing of pilot fuel are maintained at approximately 120 MPa and BTDC 17 crank angle, respectively. Results show that the indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) of biodiesel-CNG DFC mode is similar to that of diesel-CNG DFC mode at all load conditions. Combustion stability of biodiesel-CNG DFC mode decreased with increase of engine load, but no notable trend of cycle-to-cycle variations with increase of pilot injection quantity is discovered. The combustion of biodiesel-CNG begins at a retarded crank angle compared to that of diesel-CNG at low load, but it is advanced at high loads. Smoke and NOx of biodiesel-CNG are simultaneously increased with the increase of pilot fuel quantity. Compared to the diesel-CNG DFC, however, smoke and NOx emissions are slightly reduced over all operating conditions. Biodiesel-CNG DFC yields higher $CO_2$ emissions compared to diesel-CNG DFC over all engine conditions. CO and HC emissions for biodiesel-CNG DFC is decreased with the increase of pilot injection quantity.

남양주의 실제 상추재배 농가를 대상으로 전과정평가를 적용하여 bottom-up 방식의 사례분석을 수행하였다. 사례분석을 위하여 현장을 방문하여 청취 조사를 하였고, 대상 농가는 유기농가 2곳, 무농약 인증 농가 1곳, 관행농가 2곳이었다. 현장자료 수집과 산정에서 데이터 값의 오차범위가 넓어지는 것을 고려하여 추가의 냉난방이 없는 가을 1 작기를 기준으로 평가하였고, 민감도 분석과 시나리오 분석을 추가하였다. 전과정 목록분석과 영향평가는 'PASS(4.1.3)' 소프트웨어를 사용하였다. GTG 목록작성 결과 상추 1 kg 생산하는데 투입되는 물질 중 비료와 에너지 투입이 가장 높은 비중을 차지하였고, 농약이 가장 작은 값을 나타냈다. 특히 육묘단계가 없었던 농가 1을 제외한 모든 농가에서 전기의 투입량이 가장 높게 나타났다. 상추 1 kg 생산하는데 영농작업으로 말미암아 포장에서 직접 배출되는 $CO_2$, $CH_4$, $N_2O$는 각각 6.79E-03 (농가 1), 8.10E-03 (농가 2), 1.82E-02 (농가 3), 7.51E-02 (농가 4), 1.61E-02 (농가 5) kg $kg^{-1}$ lettuce이었다. 전과정 목록분석 결과 시설 상추 1 kg 생산하는데 발생하는 온실가스 발생량은 $CO_2$가 배출량 대부분을 차지하였고, 그 다음이 $N_2O$, $CH_4$ 순으로 나타났다. 농가별 $CO_2$ 배출량은 각각 2.92E-01 (농가 1), 3.76E-01 (농가 2), 4.11E-01 (농가 3), 9.40E-01 (농가 4), $5.37E-01kg\;CO_2\;kg^{-1}\;lettuce$ (농가 5)이었다. 공정별 온실가스 발생량을 분석한 결과, $CO_2$는 에너지생산 과정에서 발생하는 양이 가장 많았다. 관행농은 에너지생산에 의한 배출 비중이 유기농보다 적었고 대신 복비 생산에 의한 $CO_2$ 배출 비중이 그 차이만큼 늘었다. 또한, 무기질 비료 투입이 많아질수록 아산화질소 발생에서 상추재배 공정이 차지하는 비중이 높게 나타났는데 농가 1, 2는 87%, 농가 3은 64%를 나타냈다. 시설 상추 생산체계의 탄소성적 값은 농가별로 각각 3.40E-01 (농가 1), 4.31E-01 (농가 2), 5.32E-01 (농가 3), 1.08E+00 (농가 4), 6.14E-01 (농가 5) kg $CO_2$-eq. $kg^{-1}$ lettuce였다. 민감도 분석 결과 유기질 비료 민감도가 무기질 비료 민감도 보다 높았고, 이 중 유박의 민감도가 가장 높았고, 복합비료의 민감도가 가장 낮았다. 또한, 온실가스 변화량 중 아산화질소 발생량이 가장 민감하게 변화하였다. 전기 사용량 변화에 따른 민감도 분석은 이산화탄소의 민감도가 가장 높았고, 다음이 메탄이었고, 아산화질소는 민감도가 0에 가까웠다. 따라서 시설재배 상추생산에서 탄소배출량 감소를 위하여 질소비료 종류와 시비방법 및 시설내 전기사용에 대한 합리적 영농법에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단되었다. 상추 재배에서 여름 작기에 대한 탄소 성적 시나리오 분석결과 생산량이 봄이나 가을에 비하여 약 1/2~1/3정도 작았고, 이에 따라 탄소성적도 30~40배 높은 값을 보였다.

Petroleum coke has high heating value and low price. Due to the steadily increasing demand for heavy oil processing, the production volume of petroleum coke tends to be expanded. The high availability and low price of petroleum coke have been strongly considered as candidate fuel for power generation facilities. However the high carbon content, high sulfur content and nitrogen content of petroleum fuel are known to produce relatively large quantity of CO2, high NOx and SO2 emission. In this work, a series of numerical simulations have been carried out in order to investigate the effects of swirl flow intensity on combustion furnace, which is most important operating condition. Results show that the temperature distribution was spatially uniform at about 1600K but high temperature region are located quite differently depending on swirl number. In addition, numerical temperature data was compared with experimental temperature data and its temperature difference shows less than 10%. On the other hand, discrepancy between numerical and experimental emission data were slightly large with necessities of improved emission model.

Diesel engine has many advantages such as high thermal efficiency, low fuel consumption and low emission of CO2. However, the diesel engine faced with strengthened emission regulation about NOx and PM. To suppress NOx emission, after-treatment systems such as Lean NOx Trap (LNT), Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) are considered as a more practical strategy. This paper investigated the performance of Lean NOx trap of the 4 stroke diesel engine which had a LNT catalyst. Characteristic of exhaust emission at NEDC mode was analyzed. From this result, the effect of nozzle attaching degree, injection quantity and gas flow change on NOx conversion performance was clarified.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the health and environmental risk factors of air contaminants that influence environmental and respiratory diseases in Gyeongju, Pohang and Ulsan in South Korea, with a focus on volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Methods: Samples were collected by instantaneous negative pressure by opening the injection valve in the canister at a fixed height of 1 to 1.5 m. The sample that was condensed in $-150^{\circ}C$ was heated to $180^{\circ}C$ in sample pre-concentration trap using a 6-port switching valve and it was injected to a gas chromatography column. The injection quantity of samples was precisely controlled using an electronic flow controller equipped in the gas chromatography-mass spectrometer. Results: The quantity of the VOC emissions in the industrial area was 1.5 to 2 times higher than that in the non-industrial area. With regards to the aromatic hydrocarbons, toluene was detected at the highest level of 22.01 ppb in Ulsan, and chloroform was the halogenated hydrocarbons with the highest level of 10.19 ppb in Pohang. The emission of toluene was shown to be very important, as it accounted for more than 30% of the total aromatic hydrocarbon concentration. Conclusions: It was considered that benzene in terms of the cancer-causing grade standard, toluene in terms of the emission quantity, and chloroform and styrene in terms of their grades and emission quantities should be selected for priority measurement substances.
