유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서는 여러 컴퓨팅 객체가 협업을 통해 주어진 문제를 해결하게 된다. 유연성과 자율성을 갖는 유비쿼터스 환경 기반의 시스템을 구축하기 위해서는 전문적인 지식 뿐 아니라 인간이 갖는 상식 수준의 정성적 지식에 기초한 문제 해결 방식이 필수 불가결하다. 또한 정성적 지식에 기초한 문제 해결 방식은 주요한 컴퓨팅 객체인 인간의 적극적인 참여를 유도하는데 유용하다. 본 논문에서는 정성적 추론을 소각로 모델링에 적용하여 소각로에서 발생할 수 있는 이상 징후에 대한 정성적 정보를 사용자에게 제공하는 시스템에 대하여 소개하고자 한다. 본 시스템은 멀티 에이전트 기반 플랫폼으로 설계하여 유비쿼터스 환경에서 협업을 통한 원격의 서비스를 제공할 수 토대를 구축하였다. 본 시스템은 프로타입이 구현되어 여러 소각로 예제에 적용되어 그 실효성을 입증할 수 있었다.

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.

There has been a report of fire and explosion accident in regenerated thermal oxidizer (RTO). This paper was to investigate accident causes of RTO in the resin re-treatment process. The experiments carried out physicochemical properties and thermal stability analyses by using flash point tester, flammable range apparatus, autoignition tester, GC/MSD and thermal screening unit. We inferred causes of fire and explosion from the regenerated thermal oxidizer to prevent an accident of its process.

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.

This study analyzed concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced from incineration of papers at $600^{\circ}C$. The papers used in this study included A4 papers (new, printed with ink-jet, printed with carbon), newspapers (printed with bean oil, printed with a general newspaper ink), packaging box, document envelope, single-use paper cup, and cosmetic tissue. Papers were heated from room temperature upto $600^{\circ}C$ providing air inside of the electric furnace and then they were oxidized for 80 minutes at $600^{\circ}C$ maintaining the same air supply. VOCs emitted from the incineration process were sampled using an air sampling pump and bags for 160 minutes and then the components and concentrations of the VOCs were analyzed by a CC-MS. The most prominent chemical structure of the Vous identified from incineration of the papers was furans and then furans were followed by aromatics and aliphatic alkenes. About 40% of the identified VOCs contained double bonds, which have relatively a high ozone (ground level) formation potential, within their molecular structure. Also, some cancer suspecting compounds like benzene, dichlorormethane and chloroform were identified.

A series of parametric investigations are performed in order to resolve the flow characteristic of a Quebec city stoker incinerator. The parameters considered in this study are five internal configurations of the Quebec city stoker itself and its modified ones, primary air velocity, the injection velocity and angle of the secondary air, and the reduction of the stoker exit area. A control-volume based finite-difference method by Patankar together with the power-law scheme is employed for discretization. The resolution of the pressure-velocity coupling is made by the use of SIMPLEC algorithm. The standard, two equation, k-$\varepsilon$ model is incorporated for the closure of turbulence. The size of recirculation region, turbulent viscosity, the mass fraction of the secondary air and pressure drop are calculated in order to analyze the characteristics of flow field. The results are physically acceptable and discussed in detail. The flow field of the Quebec city stoker shows the strong recirculation zone together with the high turbulence intensity over the upper part of the incinerator.

This study aims at providing an economic assessment for incineration plants which recover heat during its incineration process. In this study, Life Cycle Cost(LCC) of incineration plants is performed based on each regression analysis formula for construction cost, operation cost, and heat generation in order to compare economic feasibility. The result shows that the incineration plant recovering waste heat while processing 80 tons of waste per day increases both initial investment and operation cost but this type of an incineration plant has economical predominance from the recovered waste heat over the one that does not recover heat when being operated for more than eleven years if the retrieved heat replaces the use of LNG. And its payback time reaches more than 19 years in case of selling heat and performing emission trading.

This study evaluated the direct and indirect environmental impacts of various unit operations of a industrial waste incineration plant by using the life cycle assessment tool and reviewed the improvement plan. During the incineration process, the direct environmental impact was decreased with decrease in emission of various air pollutants by incorporating an air pollution prevention facilities. However, an increase in indirect environmental impacts was observed as a consequence of resources and energy of consumption at the various operational facilities. Consequently, quantitative direct and indirect impact were 89.1%, 10.9%, respectively. The environmental impact analysis of system revealed the highest impact of incineration followed by the impacts of other unit processes such as semidry reactor, and bag-filter. The various air pollutants and ashes generated during the incineration process caused the most significant environmental impact. Among the various categories of environmental impact, global warming accounted the highest impact(more than 85%) followed by eutrophication, and abiotic depletion. As a result of the avoided impact by the utilization of heat generated during the waste incineration process, using an incineration heat for steam and electricity obtained the impact reduction of 45.5%, 19.8%. So, during siting of new incineration plant, the utilization of steam generated from the waste combustion is highly considered to reduce the environmental impact.

A bench scale incineration process for the burnable radwaste has been constructed and operated at KAERI as a self-surpported development of incineration technology. The purposes of operating the process are to get experience in incineration, to analyze the characteristics of combustion and to test the performance of off-gas treatment units. Simulated paper and polyethylene wastes were incinerated. Volume reduction ratio and decontamination factor of the process have been determined to observe the economical efficiency and operational capability of the process. A methodology to estimate the acceptance limit of specific activity to an incineration facility by using a decontamination factor and to calculate the volume reduction ratio of the facility is introduced. The acceptance criteria for different radionuclides in the combustible waste at the bench scale incineration process are suggested using this methodology.
