Personal exposure levels of $NO_{2}$ for office workers and housewives Living in A-San and neighboring prefectures were measured in two seasons with $NO_{2}$ filter badge. $NO_{2}$ concentrations in indoor and outdoor air in their offices and houses were also measured in the same periods. Personal exposure levels in winter ranged from 13 to 132 ppb and its distribution pattern was remarkably different from the other seasons (15.2-17.9 ppb). This fact suggests that use of heating apparatus affects largely $NO_{2}$ indoor air pollution in winter seasons. Actually, $NO_{2}$ exposure levels of subjects used Kerosene heater (43.6ppb) and gas heater (33.4ppb) were higher than those of subjects unused heating apparatus (18.0ppb). Personal exposure levels of $NO_{2}$ for man and woman Living in the same houses were correlated well each other. The time spent indoors for office workers and housewives were both longer than 22 hour a day. Home staying time was about 60% of total indoor staying time for office workers and 90% or more for housewives. Personal exposure levels were significantly related to indoor exposure levels at home all seasons. Furthermore, personal exposure levels could be estimated from $NO_{2}$ concentrations and staying times in various Living environment.

촉매를 이용한 $CO_2$-석탄 가스화의 kinetic 및 촉매 활성에 대해 조사하였다. 석탄에 촉매로 $K_2CO_3$와 $Mn(NO_3)_2$, $Ce(NO_3)_3$를 진공증발기를 이용하여 담지하였다. 가스화 실험은 5 wt%의 촉매를 담지한 저급석탄을 TGA를 사용하여 온도 $700{\sim}900^{\circ}C$범위에서 $N_2$와 $CO_2$ 반응가스로 진행하였다. TGA 실험 결과 $900^{\circ}C$에서 모든 촉매의 종류에 관계없이 저급석탄은 탄소 전환율 100%에 도달하였으며 촉매 가스화속도는 5 wt% $K_2CO_3$ > 5 wt% $Mn(NO_3)_2$ > 5 wt% $Ce(NO_3)_3$ > Non-catalyst 순으로 나타났다. 가스화 속도는 온도가 증가함에 따라 증가하는 것을 관찰하였으며 5 wt% $K_2CO_3$의 경우 가스화반응 활성화 에너지가 119.0 kJ/mol로 가장 낮게 얻어졌다.

Numerical study is conducted to grasp the flame structure and NO emissions for a wide range of oxy-fuel combustion (covering from air blown combustion to pure oxygen combustion) and for various mole fractions of recirculated $CO_2$ in $CH4-O_2/N_2/CO_2$ counterflow diffusion flames. Special concern is given to the difference of the flame structure and NO emissions between air blown combustion and oxy-fuel combustion w/o recirculated $CO_2$ and is also focused on chemical effects of recirculated $CO_2$. Air blown combustion and oxy-fuel combustion w/o recirculated $CO_2$ are shown to be considerably different in the flame structure and NO emissions. Modified fuel oxidation reaction pathways in oxygen-enriched combustion are provided in detail compared to those in air blown combustion w/o recirculated $CO_2$. The formation and destruction of NO through Fenimore and thermal mechanisms are also compared for air blown combustion and oxyegn-enriched combustion w/o recirculated $CO_2$, and the role of the recirculated $CO_2$ and its chemical effects are discussed. Importantly contributing reaction steps to the formation and destruction of NO are also estimated in oxygen-enriched combustion in comparison to air blown combustion.

The objective of this study was to evaluate quality characteristics of low-nitrite emulsified-sausages (ESs, < 75 ppm) containing paprika oleoresin solution (POS) for replacing sodium nitrite (NaNO2). Pork ESs were prepared with four treatments (reference (REF), 150 ppm NaNO2; TRT1, 0 ppm NaNO2 + 0.1% POS; TRT2, 37.5 ppm NaNO2 + 0.1% POS; and TRT3, 75 ppm NaNO2 + 0.1% POS). The physicochemical and texture properties, microbial counts, residual nitrite and thiobarbituric acid reactant substances (TBARS) were measured during refrigerated storage of 35 days. Although TRT2 and TRT3 had lower levels of NaNO2, they had higher redness and yellowness than REF (p < 0.05). Microbial counts of total bacterial counts and Enterobacteriaceae of TRT2 and TRT3 were similar to those of REF (p > 0.05). Expressible moisture percentages (EM, %) of TRT2 and TRT3 were lower than those of REF (p < 0.05). TBARS values of TRT2 and TRT3 were not different from those of REF (p > 0.05). Among treatments, TRT1 had the highest TBARS values (p < 0.05). In conclusion, 0.1% POS in combination with 37.5 ppm NaNO2 would have quality characteristics similar to those of REF. Therefore, approximately 3/4 of the initial nitrite level could be replaced with 0.1% POS, and eventually developed healthier pork products.

The steady-state kinetics of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of $NO_X$ with $NH_3$ has been investigated over a commercial ${V_2}{O_5}/TiO_2$ catalyst. In order to account for the influence of transport effects the kinetics are coupled with a fully transient two-phase 1D+1D monolith channel model. The Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) mechanism is adopted to describe the steady-state kinetic behavior of the ${V_2}{O_5}/TiO_2$ catalyst. The reaction rate expressions are based on previously reported papers and are modified to fit the experimental data. The steady-state chemical reaction scheme used in the present mathematical model has been validated extensively with experimental data of selective $NO_X$ reduction efficiency for a wide range of inlet conditions such as space velocity, oxygen concentrations, water concentration, and $NO_2/NO$ ratio. The parametric investigations are performed to examine how the $NH_3$ slip from a SCR $DeNO_X$ catalyst and the conversion of $NO_X$ are affected by the reaction temperature, $NH_3/NO_X$ feed ratio, and space velocity for feed gas compositions with $NO_2/NO_X$ ratios of 0 and 0.5.

Efficient simultaneous reduction conditions for $NO_x$ and $NH_3$-slip was investigated in SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) process with load variation by applying dual catalysts (SCR catalyst, $NH_3$ decomposition catalyst) system. $N_2O$ formation characteristics were analyzed to look into possible undesirable reaction pathways. In the experiments of catalyst characteristics, various operational variables were tested for the combined catalytic system, such as $NH_3/NO_x$ ratio, temperature, oxygen concentration and $H_2O$. The reaction characteristics of $NO_x$, $NH_3$ and $N_2O$ were analyzed and optimal conditions could be evaluated for the combustion facility with varied load. In terms of $NO_x/NH_3$ simultaneous reduction and $N_2O$ formation suppression, optimal condition was considered NSR 1.2 and temperature $300^{\circ}C$. At this operational condition, $NO_x$ conversion was 98%, $NH_3$ reduction efficiency was 95%, generated $N_2O$ concentration 9.5 ppm with inlet $NO_x$ concentration of 100 ppm. In $NH_3-SCR$ process with $NH_3$ decomposition catalyst, $NO_x$ and $NH_3$ can be considered to be reduced simultaneously at limited conditions. The results of this study may be utilized as basic data at facilities requiring simultaneous $NO_x$ and $NH_3$ reduction for facilities with load variation.

For the first time in the city of Riyadh, the formation of $O_3$ and its relationship with NO and $NO_2$ ($NO_x$) was investigated. Throughout the summer $O_3$, NO, and $NO_2$ were collected from three locations: residential, industrial, and rural areas. During the sampling period $O_3$ concentrations exceeded 1-hour local standards a few times yet remained consistent with the standards most of the time. The $O_3$ concentrations were observed highest in the rural location and lowest in the industrial area. The diurnal variation of NO followed a double peak: one in the morning and the other in the evening, representing the traffic pattern. Early morning NO peaks were observed in the rural location, which were attributed to the movement of NO from other locations. The $O_3$ concentrations depicted typical pattern, increasing after sunrise and reaching its maximum during midday. The highest $O_3$ concentrations were observed in the rural location followed by the residential and industrial. $NO_2$ photolysis rates were 3-4 times higher compared to other similar investigations, potentially due to intense solar radiation. A strong negative correlation was observed between $NO_x$ and $O_3$ values in the industrial location indicating photochemical activities around the industrial area were higher, likely due to additional $NO_x$ emissions from industries. Regression analysis of $NO_x$ and OX ($O_3+NO_2$) indicated that in residential and industrial locations at nighttime there were large $NO_x$ independent regional contributions which is attributed to VOCs. The Weekend Effect was observed in the city potentially due to the production of the OH radical and subsequent reactions with VOCs implying that the area is VOC-sensitive.

본 연구에서는 Drop Tube Furnace(DTF)를 이용한 $O_2/N_2$, $O_2/CO_2$ 조건에서 산소 농도(12, 21, 31%)에 따른 아역청탄 입자의 연소특성 및 질소산화물 배출특성에 관한 실험과 수치해석을 수행하였다. $O_2/N_2$, $O_2/CO_2$ 조건에서 산소 농도가 증가함에 따라 촤 연소율이 증가하였고 $O_2/CO_2$ 조건하에서 이산화탄소 경계층에서 석탄입자 표면으로의 산소 확산계수가 낮아지기 때문에 촤 연소율이 감소하였다. 산소 농도가 증가함에 따라 배출되는 NO의 농도는 증가하지만 완전 연소 조건인 31%의 산소 농도에서는 오히려 NO의 농도가 감소하였다. 반면, NO 배출 지수는 산소가 증가함에 따라 점차 감소하였다. $O_2/CO_2$ 조건에서 NO의 농도는 Thermal NO의 결여로 인해 $O_2/N_2$ 조건보다 작게 나타났다.

연백, 연단, 밀타승으로 대표되는 납계열 안료의 대기환경에 따른 열화특성을 규명하였다. 자외선에 노출된 채색시편들은 모두 색차가 4~31로 어두워졌으나 성분에 변화는 없었다. CO₂는 시편의 색상 뿐 아니라 성분 변화에 큰 영향을 주지 못하였다. 반면 NO₂에 노출된 시편들은 색변화가 크게 나타나고 Lead nitrate(Pb(NO₃)₂)와 같은 2차 생성물이 확인되었다. 연백과 연단은 NO₂에 의한 색차가 각각 2와 10으로 시험 전에 비해 어두워졌으나 밀타승은 색차가 5이고 시험 전에 비해 밝게 변했다. 이를 통해 CO₂와 NO₂가 동일한 농도일 경우 CO₂에 비해 NO₂가 안료 보존에 영향력 있는 대기환경 인자임을 확인할 수 있다. 미세먼지에 존재하는 염의 영향을 보기 위해 5% NaCl(in distilled water)를 제조하여 염수 분무 시험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 연백, 연단, 밀타승 모두 시편 색변화와 함께 표면에 2차 생성물이 형성되었다. 이로 인해 아교도막이 박락되거나 hole이 형성되었으며, 생성물을 중심으로 색상이 변하였다. 또한 염수분무 후 XRD 피크 강도와 결정도가 함께 낮아진 것을 볼 수 있다. 염수분무 후 시료의 성분분석 결과 연백의 경우 Litharge가, 밀타승의 경우 Litharge와 Minium이 새로 형성되었다. 이를 통해 채색안료의 보존에 영향력 있는 대기환경 인자는 자외선, NO₂, 수용성 염임을 확인하였고 특히 납계열 안료 중 밀타승의 안정성이 다른 안료에 비해 낮은 것을 알 수 있었다.

Double cone 버너를 장착한 가스터빈용 EV (Environmental Vortex)버너의 연소 특성과 NO 배출 특성을 수치적으로 조사하였다. NO 배출 저감을 위해 연료와 공기의 혼합 특성을 예측하였다. 혼합도와 NO 배출과의 상관관계를 예측하기 위해 메탄 1단계 화학반응식과 2단계 반응식에 적용하여 연소 해석을 수행하였다. 1단계 반응식을 적용한 결과, 혼합도가 저하된 모델에서 NO 배출량이 약 2% 증가하였으며, 혼합도가 향상된 모델의 경우 cone 상부에서 과다한 고온의 화염 영역이 형성되어 NO가 약 169%나 증가하였다. 2단계 반응식의 경우 첫 번째 모델에서 약 3% NO 배출량이 증가하였으며, 두 번째 모델에서 cone 내부의 고온 영역이 형성되지 않고 NO가 약 5% 감소하였다. 이 결과는, 혼합 특성이 저감된 모델에서 NO가 약 63% 증가하였고, 혼합 특성이 향상된 모델에서 NO가 약 11% 감소한 실험결과와 잘 부합하였다. 정량적인 오차가 있음에도, NO 배출의 정성적 경향성이 유사하므로 2단계 반응식을 적용한 수치해석을 통해 설계 변경 방안을 제시하는 것은 타당할 것으로 판단된다.
