This study focused on a heavy-duty natural gas engine fuelled with HCNG (CNG: 70 vol%, hydrogen: 30 vol%) and CNG. To study the emission characteristics of an HCNG engine with high compression ratio, the exhaust gas of CNG and HCNG fuel were analyzed in relation to the change in the compression ratio at the half load condition. The results showed that the thermal efficiency improved with an increase in the compression ratio. Consequently, $CO_2$ emission decreased. CO emission increased with inefficient oxidation due to the low exhaust gas temperature. $NO_x$ emission with high compression ratio was increased at the same excess air ratio condition. However, $NO_x$ emission was not affected by a compression ratio exceeding ${\lambda}$ = 1.9 because of the same MBT timing.

우리나라에서도 급속한 산업발전에 따라 공해문제가 날로 심각하게 대두되고 있으며, 특히 대 도심지의 자동차 배기가스로 인한 대기오염 (Air Pollution)은 큰 사회적 문제로 되고 있다. 이에 법적인 규제가 절실하게 필요하게 되어 1977년 12 월 31 일 환경보전법이 공모되고 자동차배 출가스의 규제조합이 수립되었다. 한편 행정직으로 환경청이 설립되어 이를 전달하게 되었으며 아울러 환경관계법령집(1981 년 5월)이 완성을 보았다. 그러나 자동차배출가스의 허용기준치가 자동차공업이 발달한 선진국에 비하여 너무도 미흡한 단계인바 국가적 차원에서 집중적인 대 책강구와 규제를 강화시켜야 할 실정이다. 따라서 우리나라와 선진제국들의 자동차배출의 규제 치및 대책방법 등을 고찰하고, 금후의 개발과 기술적 문제점들을 기술하고자 한다.

최근 산업구조의 고도화에 따라 다양한 산업분야에서 화석연료 등의 에너지소모가 급증하면서 환경문제의 심각성이 대두되고 있다. 그중 질소산화물(NOx)은 산성비와 광화학 스모그의 원인이 되며 눈과 호흡기를 자극하고 식물을 고사시키는 등 주요 대기오염물질로 규제되고 있다. 이와 관련하여 국제해사기구(IMO)에서는 선박대기오염물질의 배출을 규제하는 규정을 만들었으며, 최근에는 배출규제를 강화하는 등 적극적인 규제활동을 벌이고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 선박배기가스 질소산화물의 배출규제 현황과 배출 규제안에 대응하기 위해 본 연구원에서 연구개발 중인 배기가스 오염물질 저감장치의 선택적 촉매 환원(Selective Catalytic Reduction, SCR)시스템에 관하여 간략히 기술한다.

Aging construction machinery and vehicles with old diesel engines usually have a long life span, so they continue to emit harmful emissions. Therefore, replacing these older diesel engines with engines that meet the latest emisstion standard is expected to help improve air quality, and engines with propane fuels, which are easily available at construction sites, can be an appropriate alternative. In this study, a propane fueled engine was developed based on a 6.8-liter CNG engine, and technologies such as gas injectors, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), and enhanced catalysts were applied. As a result, nitrogen oxides achieved half of the emission performance at the Stage-V level, the latest emission standard, while securing diesel engine output and torque in the same class.

In this study, we investigated the main characteristics of off-gas generated from melting process and off-gas treatment system operation example to provide some primary data for commercial vitrification facility design. The purpose of vitrification facility operation is to treat hazardous materials in the radioactive wastes and harmful off-gas containing a variety of chemical species generated in the glass melting process. Constructing and operating vitrification facility essentially need to be licensed through safety analysis; it is very important to treat radionuclide and hazardous materials below the legal environment emissions regulation level. We must accurately understand the characteristics of off-gas and apply an appropriate off-gas treatment process accordingly. Thus, to design the appropriate off-gas treatment there must be a wide range of elements taken into account such as characteristics of waste and melter, regulation guidance of off-gas, characteristics of generated off-gas and off-gas treatment system performance assessment.

지구 환경오염문제가 대두되면서 세계 각국에서는 환경오염을 최소화하려는 움직임이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 국제해사기구(IMO)에서는 해양 대기오염의 상당량이 선박에서 배출되는 배기가스에 의한 것으로 판단하고 있으며, 이에 따라 선진국을 중심으로 선박관련 환경규제 및 선박 배기가스 배출기준을 점차적으로 강화해 가고 있고, 친환경 선박 및 기자재 개발을 적극적으로 진행하고 있다. 현재 선박에 적용 가능한 NOx 제거장치로는 ECR(Exhaust Gas Recirculation), SCR(Selective, Catalytic Reduction), SAM(Scavenge Air Moistening) 등이 개발되었으며, 연소온도 조절 및 촉매 환원반응 등을 이용하여 NOx를 제거하고 있다. 현재 개발된 탈질설비 중 현실적으로 가장 적합한 것은 SCR시스템으로 인식되고 있으나, 연료효율 감소로 인하여 가스연료를 이용하거나 새로운 연료개발 등 사용연료에 변화를 주는 방법들이 미래의 대안으로 제시되고 있다.

As the interest on the air pollution is gradually rising at home and abroad, automotive and fuel researchers have been studied on the exhaust and greenhouse gas emission reduction from vehicles through a lot of approaches, which consist of new engine design, innovative after-treatment systems, using clean (eco-friendly alternative) fuels and fuel quality improvement. This research has brought forward two main issues : exhaust emissions (regulated and non-regulated emissions, PM particle matter) and greenhouse gases of vehicle. Exhaust emissions and greenhouse gases of automotive had many problem such as the cause of ambient pollution, health effects. In order to reduce these emissions, many countries are regulating new exhaust gas test modes. Worldwide harmonized light-duty vehicle test procedure (WLTP) for emission certification has been developed in WP.29 forum in UNECE since 2007. This test procedure was applied to domestic light duty diesel vehicles at the same time as Europe. The air pollutant emissions from light-duty vehicles are regulated by the weight per distance, which the driving cycles can affect the results. Exhaust emissions of vehicle varies substantially based on climate conditions, and driving habits. Extreme outside temperatures tend to increasing the emissions, because more fuel must be used to heat or cool the cabin. Also, high driving speeds increases the emissions because of the energy required to overcome increased drag. Compared with gradual vehicle acceleration, rapid vehicle acceleration increases the emissions. Additional devices (air-conditioner and heater) and road inclines also increases the emissions. In this study, three light-duty vehicles were tested with WLTP, NEDC, and FTP-75, which are used to regulate the emissions of light-duty vehicles, and how much emissions can be affected by different driving cycles. The emissions gas have not shown statistically meaningful difference. The maximum emission gas have been found in low speed phase of WLTP which is mainly caused by cooled engine conditions. The amount of emission gas in cooled engine condition is much different as test vehicles. It means different technical solution requires in this aspect to cope with WLTP driving cycle.

Busan Port handles more than 75% of the domestic freight volume and is ranked at 6th for global shipping in the world. This paper aims to estimate ship emission in North Port that is the center of Busan Port and located near the residential area. The emission for each type of ship is calculated applying a emission model proposed by U.S. EPA and the atmospheric diffusion pattern of the exhaust gas according to the season, the weather condition and the time was identified using CALPUFF Model. As a result, the major pollutants of $NO_x$, $SO_x$ and PM10 were 30,853 tons, 36,281 tons and 6,856 tons, respectively, and the highest rate was 42% in oil tankers. On clear days, air pollution was stagnant around the harbor, spread widely on windy days, and tended to be thinner on rainy days. The research contributes to recognizing the seriousness of air pollution and can be used as basic data for policy making in the future.

In this paper, it is proposed to solve the problem of the harmful exhaust gas reduction device DPF. The exhaust gas is effectively guided through the control of the exhaust gas flow path which is separated in both directions. Through cross control of two DPF units, it helps to improve the purification and regeneration combustion characteristics of harmful emissions. It is possible to prevent an increase in internal pressure caused by deposition of particulate matter in the DPF. It is also an object of the present invention to provide an automobile harmful exhaust gas reduction device capable of solving the problem of lowering the output and lowering the fuel consumption.
