우리나라에서는 1980년대 초반부터 비점오염원 원단위를 산정하기 시작하였으나 모두 단일강우 또는 제한된 수의 실측자료만을 이용하였다. 각 토지이용에 따른 비점오염의 유출특성을 충분하게 반영하지 못하였기 때문에 강우량의 변화가 큰 지역의 경우, 강우 특성에 따라 특정 기간에 과도하게 오염부하가 산정될 수 있다. 최근 수질오염의 특징은 과거의 대량 발생원인 점오염에 의한 수질오염에서 도시 강우 유출수나 농경지 등으로부터 대량의 비점오염에 의한 수질오염으로 변화하고 있다. 그러나 비점오염은 점오염과 같이 일정한 출구를 통해 유출되지 않으므로 집중처리에 의한 조절 방법의 적용이 곤란한 형편이다. 본 연구에서는 광산(저탄장) 지역의 모니터링을 실시하여 계절별 비점오염부하 유출특성에 대하여 조사하였고, 오염부하와 EMC 농도를 산정하여 분석하였다. 본 연구는 장기적인 모니터링 과제로 향후 지속적인 모니터링을 실시하여 수질분석과 유량을 측정한다면 광산(저탄장) 지역의 비점오염부하 산정 시 유용한 자료로 활용될 것으로 판단된다.

The stringent air environment conservation act forced to build an indoor dome for coal storage. However, it causes some problems due to accumulation of fly ash and harmful substances inside. To solve this problem, this study analyzed the pattern of internal airflow and the amount of ventilation for an indoor coal yard. Overall, the airflow inside the indoor coal yard tended to move to the southwest facing the mountain. In addition, sea-breeze was blowing from the northern louver window facing the sea, where airflow was flowing in. The total flow rate flowing into the indoor coal yard was 918,691 m³/h, and the number of natural ventilation per hour was 0.6 times. Therefore, it is proposed to install a forced ventilation device at the location where internal air flow is concentrated.

The spontaneous ignition of coal stockpile causes serious safety and economic problems. Such spontaneous ignition occurs in coal stockpile when the rate of heat released by the oxidation of coal is greater than the rate of heat lost to the surroundings. In this study, a two-dimensional unsteady model is adopted for studying spontaneous ignition and the numerical results are compared with experimental results. The numerical results are in a good agreement with the experimental ones. Depending on the porosity, the internal maximum temperature, pressure, and oxygen mass fraction during spontaneous ignition are investigated. On the basis of the numerical results, the transient temperature variations for several shapes of coal stockpiles are analyzed. Further, the physical mechanisms of hot-spot formation and spontaneous ignition are analyzed.

Spontaneous ignition is not only severe economic damage but also a typical plant damage caused by harmful gases generated during the fire. Because coal is porous, it causes oxygen to be absorbed in the amount of oxygen per unit weight of oxygen, resulting in low humidity and low thermal conductivity. The cause and effect of spontaneous ignition are very complex, so it is difficult to prevent it beforehand and once it is difficult to digest it, it is difficult to digest it. This study examines structural safety by conducting a structural analysis of the cooling ball system to prevent spontaneous combustion of coal stockpile plants and external pressures.

This study reports numerically the characteristics of dust scattering around the coal storage pile yards, substantially affected by the windbreak wall height. The dust scattering is closely associated with the frictional effect of wind flows as well as the pressure variation that consequently affect the dust particle behavior. In the present study, with the use of the commercial code of FLUENT, the distribution of wind velocity and pressure are predicted around coal storage pile yard for four different heights of the wind break wall. From the results, it was found that for the case 1 with the outer windbreak wall height of 3 m and inner windbreak wall height of 6 m, the amount of scattering dust for a year was estimated to be 1451 kg, whereas for the case 4 where a height of outer windbreak wall is 10 m and a height of inner windbreak wall is 16 m, the amount of scattering dust for a year was 358 kg. It shows that the dust scattering can be reduced by 75%, indicating important role of windbreak wall height on particle scattering. The numerical results would be useful in decision of the appropriate height of windbreak wall for decreasing the amount of scattering dust under various environmental conditions.

Power plants that produce electricity through thermal power plants mainly store coal in outdoor storage yards. In particular, coal is directly exposed to rainwater during rainfall, including torrential rain. There is no separate drainage facility in the outdoor coal yard, and coal is simply stored on the ground. Accordingly, during rainfall, coal dust flows down by rainwater, and a large amount of rainwater that is not drained overflows the outdoor coal yard, overflowing the surrounding facilities and causing environmental pollution. Therefore, in this study, a drainage system was developed for the rapid drainage of an outdoor coal mine, and the quality of the water was evaluated when rainwater mixed with drainage characteristics and coal dust was discharged through the drainage system.

The outdoor coal storage sheds of thermal power plants are being converted to indoor coal storage sheds worldwide because of the environmental pollution problems in the surrounding areas. On the other hand, indoor coal storage sheds are causing problems, such as indoor coal scattering and harmful gas generation. In this study, the ventilation method of indoor coal storage sheds was analyzed in terms of the internal flow characteristics and ventilation according to the outside wind velocity and direction. CFD analysis was performed based on the actual flow measurement information inside the indoor coal storage sheds. A comparison of the wind speed of 6 m/s and 2 m/s when the outside wind direction was easterly showed that the stream velocity to the monitor louver was faster and the recirculation area was clearer at 6 m/s than at 2 m/s. In addition, the trend of a westerly wind was similar to that of the easterly wind. The ventilation rate according to the wind speed was 13.1 times and 4.4 times for a wind speed of 6 m/s and 2 m/s, respectively. If the wind speed is 2 m/s, the situation does not meet the required number of ventilations per hour in a general plant, and needs to be improved.

In this paper, the effect of spontaneous combustion inhibitor on the surface of coal stockpile in coal yard was investigated by numerical analysis. First, the numerical analysis method of the present study was compared with the results of the previous study by analyzing the case where the spontaneous combustion inhibitor was not applied, and the effect of preventing spontaneous combustion by various areas and positions for spraying spontaneous combustion inhibitor was analyzed. As a result, the larger the application area of the spontaneous combustion inhibitor, the more the effect of preventing spontaneous combustion by blocking the oxygen inflow into the coal stockpile, and the greater the effect of the spontaneous combustion prevention when spraying spontaneous combustion inhibitor from the bottom of the coal stockpile. Spontaneous combustion inhibitor should be sprayed effectively, considering the economic aspects, such as manufacturing cost etc.

The study is a method for preventing the natural ignition of indoor low coal coal in coal-fired power plants. It is a method of monitoring the temperature of coal stored in total by combining Internet technology (IoT) with sensor technology as a location confirmation method to detect the natural ignition of coal in advance and to alarm the location of the ignition site.
