Biomass burning is one of the significant emission source of PM and CO, but a few studies are reported in Korea. Air pollutants emission from biomass burning such as wood stove and boiler, and wood-pellet stove and boiler were estimated in this study. Activity levels related to biomass burning such as fuel types, amount of fuel loading, and location and temporal variation were investigated by field survey over Korea. Fuel loadings were 14.9 kg/day for wood stove, 31.3 kg/day for wood boiler, 12.8 kg/day for wood-pellet stove, 32.5 kg/day for wood-pellet boiler during the season of active use. These were mostly burned in winter season from october to april of next year. Estimated annual emissions from wood stove & boiler were CO 76,677, $NO_x$ 710, $SO_x$ 70, VOC 20,941, TSP 6,605, PM10 2,921, PM2.5 1,851, and NH3 7 ton/yr, respectively. Emissions from wood-pellet stove and boiler were CO 32,798, $NO_x$ 1,830, $SO_x$ 25, VOCs 5,673, TSP 629, PM10 457, PM2.5 344, and $NH_3$ 2 ton/yr, respectively. When the emission estimates are compared with total emissions of the national emission inventory (CAPSS: Clean Air Policy Support System), Those occupy 12.5%, 2.8% of total national emission for CO and PM10, respectively. These results show wood and wood-pellet burning appliances were one of the major source of air pollution in Korea. In future, these types of heaters need to be regulated to reduce air pollution, especially in suburb area.

Our environment is faced with serious problems related to the air pollution from automobiles in these days. In particular, the exhaust emissions of diesel engine are recognized main cause which influenced environment strong. In this study, the potential possibility of biodiesel fuel was investigated as an alternative fuel for a naturally aspirated D.I. diesel engine. The smoke emission of biodiesel fuel was reduced remarkably in com parison with diesel fuel, that is, it was reduced approximately 48.5% at 2500rpm, full load. But, power, torque and brake specific energy consumption didn't have no large differences. But, $NO_X$ emission of biodiesel fuel was increased com pared with commercial diesel fuel. Also, the effects of exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) on the characteristics of $NO_X$ emission has been investigated. It was found that simultaneous reduction of smoke and $NO_X$ was achieved with biodiesel fuel(20vol-%) and cooled EGR method($5{\sim}15%$).

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.

금년 1월 1일부터 수도권 대기환경개선에 관한 특별법이 시행되었다. 특별법의 시행으로 정부는 현재 각각 $76{\mu}g/m^3$과 36ppb 수준인 $PM_{10}$과 $NO_2$의 연평균을 10년 내 $40{\mu}g/m^3$과 20ppb까지 낮출 것을 목표하고 있다. 특별법에서는 주로 $PM_{10}$과 $NO_2$와 같은 1차 오염물질만을 언급하고 있으나 정부는 이들의 농도가 낮아짐으로써 고농도 오존과 시정 장애도 개선될 것을 기대하고 있다. 그러나 중국으로부터 오염물질 유입과 광화학반응에 의한 2차 생성으로 인하여 국지 배출 저감에 의한 $PM_{10}$의 농도 감소 효과는 크지 않을 수 있다. 실제 고농도 오존이 빈번한 오존 시즌 동안 수도권 $PM_{10}$의 대부분은 지역규모의 2차 생성 비중이 높은 $PM_{2.5}$이다. 뿐만 아니라 많은 모델링 결과들이 수도권의 상당한 지역에서, $NO_x$를 줄일 경우 오존 농도가 상승하는 소위 '$NO_x$ 불이익' 현상이 나타날 수 있음을 지적하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 수도권의 오염 현황을 살펴보고, 장거리 이동 효과와 광화학 오염 특성 등 이슈와 함께, 특별법의 성공적 이행에 필요한 과제들에 대하여 논의하였다.

층류 비예혼합 분류 화염에서 다양한 주파수와 강도로 외부에서 유동장에 자극을 주었을 때 화염의 배출특성과 거동에 대해서 실험적으로 조사하였다. 먼저 일정한 관 공명 주파수에서 가진 강도를 가변시켜 난류화염 된 부상화염에서 질소산화물 배출 지수($EINO_x$)를 측정하였다. 또한, 가진 강도가 일정한 상태에서 주파수를 0 Hz에서 높은 주파수인 2 KHz까지 다양한 주파수 조건으로 가진된 한 경우에도 질소산화물의 배출지수를 측정하였다. 큰 가진 강도의 관공명 주파수로 가진된 경우 부상된 난류화염에서 $NO_x$ 배출 특성은 다음과 같이 크게 세 가지 형태의 특성을 보였다. Group I의 화염에서는 공간적인 섭동이 크며 비교적 화염길이가 길고 높은 $NO_x$ 배출 특성을 보였으며 Group II에서는 상대적으로 짧은 길이와 좁은 폭의 화염거동에 낮은 $NO_x$배출 특성을 보였다. Group III에서는 약간 긴 화염길이에 매우 큰 화염체적으로 상당한 높이까지 시ㆍ공간적으로 섭동이 큰 운동양태로 부상되는 거동과 가장 높은 $NO_x$ 배출 특성을 보였다.

The effects of exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) on the characteristics of exhaust emissions and specific fuel consumption have been investigated using an eight-cylinder, four cycle, direct injection diesel engine operating at several loads and speeds. The experiments in this study are conducted on the fixed fuel injection timing of $38^{\circ}$ BTDC regardless of experimental conditions. In conclusion, it is found that $NO_{x}$ emission is markedly reduced with the drop of burnt gas temperature at high speeds and loads especially as the EGR rate increases, while the soot particulate rises with EGR rate and load at a given engine speed, especially high loads. The reduction of exhaust emissions within the Korea heavy duty diesel engine emission standards can be roughly achieved by the optimal EGR rate without degarding the specific fuel consumption, based on the correlations between exhaust emissions.

The combustion characteristics have been investigated to develop the low $NO_{x}$ gas turbine combustor. The lean premixed combustion technology was applied to reduce the $NO_{x}$ emission. Also, the conventional combustor was designed and tested for the baseline of low $NO_{x}$ combustor performance. The test was conducted at the condition of high temperature and ambient pressure. The combustion air which has the temperature of 500K were supplied to the combustor through the air preheater. The temperature and emissions of $NO_{x}$ and CO were measured at the exit of combustor. The premixing chamber can be operated very lean condition of equivalence ratio around 0.35. The $NO_{x}$ was decreased with decreasing the equivalence ration. The CO was decreased with decreasing the equivalence ratio, but the CO was increased with decreasing the equivalence ratio below 0.45. But, at the very lean condition of equivalence ratio below 0.35 both NOx and CO were increased because of the flame unstability. The $NO_{x}$ was decreased slightly and CO was increased with increasing inlet air flowrate. This results can be used to determine the size of combustor. The low $NO_{x}$ combustor has lower values of $NO_{x}$ and CO compared with conventional one. Consequently the performance of combustor shows the possibility of the application to the gas turbine system.

Fossil power plants firing lower grade coals or equipped with modified system for $NO_x$ controls are challenged with maintaining good combustion conditions while maximizing generation and minimizing emissions. In many cases significant derate, availability losses and increase in unburned carbon levels can be attributed to poor combustion conditions as a result of poorly controlled local fuel and air distribution within the boiler furnace. In order to develop a on-line combustion tuning system, field test was conducted at operating power boiler. During the field test the exhaust gases' $O_2,\;NO_x$ and CO was monitored by using a spatially distributed monitoring grid located in the boiler's high temperature vestibule and upper convective rear pass region. At these locations, the flue gas flow is still significantly stratified, and air in-leakage is minimal which enables tracing of poor combustion zones to specific burners and over-fire air ports. using these monitored information we can improving combustion at every point within the furnace, therefore the boiler can operate at reduced excess $O_2$ and gas temperature deviation, reduced furnace exit gas temperature levels while also reducing localized hot spots, corrosive gas conditions, slag or clinker formation and UBC. Benefits include improving efficiency, reducing $NO_x$ emissions, increasing output and maximizing availability. Discussion concerning the reduction of greenhouse gases is prevalent in the world. When taking a practical approach to addressing this problem, the best way and short-term solution to reduce greenhouse gases on coal-fired power plants is to improve efficiency. From this point of view the real time optimized combustion tuning approach is the most effective and implemented with minimal cost.
