국내 쓰레기의 일인당 배출량은 외국보다 많은 2 kg/인. 일 정도이나, 주로 연탄재로 인한 것 이며, 발열량은 500 600 kcl/kg 으로 매우 낮아 보조연료가 필요한 수준이다. 따라서 소각로를 건설할 경우 이에 대한 발열량 증가를 위한 행정적인 조치 및 주민계몽의 노력을 기울여야 할 것이다. 국내의 쓰레기 처리방법은 거의 완전히 매립에 의존하고 있으나 외국의 경우는 소각, 매립 자원재활용, 퇴비화 등의 순으로 처리되고 있으므로 우리 나라도 이와 같은 추세를 따라야 할 것이며, 특히 자원재활용을 위한 "오레곤 병법"등과 같은 행정적인 조치는 우리 나라도 조속히 도입하여야 할 것이다. 소각로의 기술은 주로 유럽기술에 의해 지배되고 있으며, 최근 미국의 RDF 및 일본지역의 FBC 개발연구 등도 괄목할 만하다. 그러나 기본적으로, 유럽기술이라 할 지라도 국내 적용을 위해서는 기본적인 국내의 쓰레기 특성에 맞게 사양을 변경하여야 할 것이 므로 국내 실정에 맞는 소각로설계 연구를 추진해야 할 것이다. 특히 우리 나라는 외국보다 저발열량, 고수분 함량의 쓰레기이므로 이를 단순히 보조연료로만 처리하는 것보다 기술적으로 합리적인 보조연료 절감 방안을 강구하여야 할 것이다.하여야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 다양한 변수에 따라 달라지는 환경산업의 경제성을 비교평가히는 모델을 개발한 것이다. 최근 환경산업으로 부각되고 있는 지역난방과 개별가스난방사업을 사례로 모델을 실증적으로 적용하여 시뮬레이션하였다. 열병합발전과 보조보일러 및 쓰레기 소각로로 구성된 지역난방시스템과 소각로와 개별 가스보일러로 구성된 개별난방시스템을 각각 최적화하고 최저비용을 구하여 비교한 것이다. 분석대상에 쓰레기소각로을 첨가함으로써 매립에서 소각으로 바뀌는 쓰레기정책을 반영하였으나 소각로 규모는 사전에 열공급과는 무관하게 결정되므로 다른 시스템과 연계하여 최적화 하지 않고 600톤/일의 규모로 정하여 분석하였다. 최적화하는 경우는 훨씬 규모가 줄어드는 것으로 나타났다. 국가경제적인 측면에서 다양한 난방방식에 따른 규모별, 열원별, 지역별(기후별), 사용연료별로 경제성과 환경성을 비교평가함으로써 변수의 변화에 따른 합리적인 난방방식 및 사용연료를 선택하도록 하였다. 환경배출량도 동시에 비교하였으나 시나리오 간에 크게 차이가 나지않아 비교에는 포함시키지 않았다. 이 모델은 난방사업 뿐만 아니라 갈등이 예상되는 다른 환경산업들을 평가하는데도 용이하게 활용될 수 있도록 GAUSS프로그램으로 개발되어 있다.

고분자 폐기물을 처리하는 방법은 크게 재이용, 소각, 매립 등으로 나눌 수 있으나 재이용이나 매립 방법은 폐기물의 급속한 증가를 감당하기에 한계가 있다. 소각은 폐기물의 감량화와 폐열 회수의 이중 효과를 얻을 수 있는 가장 일반적이고 손쉬운 방법이긴 하지만 폐고무나 폐합성 수지와 같은 고분자폐기물을 직접 소각할 때에는 많은 유해가스, 분진과 매연이 발생하는 어려 움이 따른다. 건류소각 방식은 이러한 직접 소각의 단점을 보완해 주는 것으로 최근 각광을 받고 있으나 안전성, 유지관리 및 시설비 등의 면에서 뿐만 아니라 기술적인 면에서도 아직 많은 연 구가 요구되고 있다. 열분해 또는 건류 가스화에 관한 연구는 석탄에 대하여 활발하게 이루어져 왔으며 1960년대에는 심각한 환경오염을 겪으면서 폐기물 처리에 대한 응용이 시작되었다. 1970년대부터 미국에서는 EPA(environmental protection agency)의 주도로 도시쓰레기에서 가스, 기름 등을 회수하는 기술개발을 강력히 추진하였으며 일본에서도 통상산업성 산하 공업기술원의 도시쓰레기 열분해 처리 기술 개발을 시작으로 2차공해 감소를 선결 과제로 한 여러 가지 프로 세스를 개발해 왔다. 국내에서는 최근에들어 연구가 비교적 활발하게 이루어 지고 있다. 특히 동력자원부 주관의 대체에너지 사업의 일환으로 추진중인 폐기물의 에너지화 이용에 관한 연구 중에서도 열분해나 건류 가스화에 관련된 연구가 많은 비중을 차지하고 있다.

The problem of disposing of huge quantities of used tires is of growing concern to every country. As an economical solid waste management, a gasification followed by incineration process was applied to scrap tires to recover heat and to reduce waste volume for final landfill disposal. The gasification temperature, combustible and non-combustible gasified products and possibly produced air pollutants were predicted by changing equivalent mole ratios of carbon to oxygen by a chemical equilibrium model. For a risk assessment of ash toxic pollutants including heavy metals and toxic organics were thoroughly analyzed. Gasification bottom ash contained much more toxic organic compounds than fly ash, whereas fly ash contained higher concentration of heavy metals such as Pb and Cd. Pretreatment or secure landfill technology is suggested for a safe management of ash produced from the gasification incinerators.

This study was carried out to investigate the emission characteristics of volatile metals(Hg, As, Se) and semi volatile metals such as Pb from small and medium size municipal solid waste incinerators(MSWIs). The concentrations of Hg, Pb, As and Se in emission gas from small size waste incinerators were higher than those of medium size waste incinerators. This is probably due to less air pollutant control devices and high emission gas temperature of the small size waste incinerators relative to the medium size waste incinerators. Emission gas temperature from small and medium size waste incinerators were divided into 2 groups. The first group was about $100^{\circ}C$ and the second roup in the range of $400{\sim}700^{\circ}C$. The concentrations of emission gas at the second group were Hg $70.43\;{\mu}g/Sm^3$, Pb $0.94\;{\mu}g/Sm^3$, As $9.83\;{\mu}g/Sm^3$ and Se $5.05\;{\mu}g/Sm^3$. The concentrations of Hg, Pb, As and Se at the first group were lower than those found at the second group. Besides, the removal efficiencies of Hg in medium size waste incinerators were $55.2{\sim}95.9%$. Emission gas temperature reduction from waste heat boiler(WHB) contribute to control of Hg. Based on above results, we postulate that the temperature of flue gas should play a very important role in volatile metal control in small and medium size MSWIs. In order to improve the volatile metals removal efficiency, the temperature of cooling system must be controlled and the air pollution control device should be operated properly.

In this study, the concentration of 17 dioxin congeners in the soil samples near a waste incinerator with respect to distance from incinerator and wind directions were investigated. The effect of PCB source was investigated using the cluster analysis method. The total concentration and I-TEQ concentration of dioxin ranged from 31.065 to 7,257.499 pg/g(dry weight) and from 0.099 to 35.191 pg I-TEQ/g(dry weight.), respectively. There was a weak correlation(not statistically significant) observed between soil concentration and wind direction, and the distance from the incinerator. The reason may be due to the presence of the local combustion sources other than the target incinerator. The fraction of PCDFs and PCDDs was also examined to study the effect of incinerator. The fraction of PCDFs was decreased with the distance from the incinerator. The influence of target incinerator was found within a 500-meter radius. The high concentration in the for site was due to small incinerators and the use of agricultural chemicals such as PCP. To investigate the relationship between soil near the incinerator and the sources, the cluster analysis was conducted using the congener pattern. As a result soil samples were divided into four groups and were qualitatively estimated the influence of sources such as incinerator and PCP by comparing the congener pattern of each roups. It was thought that a cluster analysis was a useful statistical method for the source estimation of dioxin.

This study examined for possibility of the food wastewater incineration treatment method as one of overland treatment method by incineration through liquefied spray of food wastewater when incinerating domestic wastes under operation and for the relationship, etc of air discharge material discharged in incineration, and the results of study are as follow: The food wastewater as one of overland treatment method was analysed 94-96% of moisture contents. Temperature of incinerator outduct during mixed incineration of food wastewater with MSW was average $897^{\circ}C$ and incineration of only MSW was $925^{\circ}C$. Temperature of the mixed incineration of food wastewater was dropped about $28^{\circ}C$ by incineration of only MSW. Concentration of nitrogen oxides(NOx) among air discharge gases was studied by 50ppm, 46ppm when inputting $200{\ell}/hr$, $300{\ell}/hr$ into the incinerator as the quantity of food wastewater. In the mixed incineration of food wastewater, generation speed of scales in the inside of a tubular exhaust gas boiler became rapid and the scale generation quantity became large but the exhaust gas boiler normally operated since scales were removed in cleaning of the tube with a compressive air cleaning facility and there was no opening clogging phenomena in a filter cloth of the filtering dust collector. The overland treatment method, not ocean dumping of food wastewater can be proposed as a technology since mixed incineration of food wastewater with MSW in the existing domestic waste incineration plant is possible, and operation costs of the incineration facility were reduced since use of chemicals such as ammonia and urinary hydrogen ion excretion, etc used in incineration facilities for removing nitrogen oxides(NOx).

To design and construct a moving bed stoker incinerator for incineration treatment of the domestic oil fly ash, operating condition and moving bed area of incinerator were determined by performing incinerate experiment of the oil fly ash in the muffle furnace which simulates moving bed stoker incinerator in all conditions. Incineration process of the oil fly ash could be divided into 3 stages, every stage needs the appropriate operating condition for effective incineration. The optimum content of water in the heavy oil fly ash was found to be 20 wt% to prevent the ash from flying and reduce the volume. Science combustion rate of oil fly ash depends on the oxygen content, the incinerator must have a equipment to control the oxygen content in the combustion air. The optimum temperature was $750{\sim}800^{\circ}C$ in order to prevent adhesion to the stocker and evaporation of metal compounds of low melting point. Uniform combustion reaction and acceleration of combustion rate required agitation during the combustion of oil fly ash. The incineration rate was $12.53kg/m^2hr$ and the working area of moving bed incinerator was found to be $60m^2$ to incinerate 18 tons of oil fly ash per day.

This study characterized fly ash produced from a sewage sludge incineration facility in Korea to determine if the byproducts can be utilized. All the incinerated sewage sludge was from a city in Korea. To characterize fly ash and to determine if it can be utilized, pH, water contents, elemental components, particle size, surface morphology, heavy metal compositions, and others were analyzed. In average, pH was 6.2, and water contents was about 5%. T-N and $T-P_2O_5$ were 3% and 24.5%, respectively. Particle size averaged 836 nm; surface morphology did not exhibit any significant results. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis results revealed that major components of the fly ash were $P_2O_5$, CaO, MgO, $K_2O$. Composition of heavy metals by the Korea Standard Methods for Waste Quality did not exceed the criteria for specified wastes in Korea.
