최근 전 세계적으로 수송수단과 산업시설에서의 배출로 인한 대기오염의 심각성을 강조하고 있다. 특히 항만과 공항에서도 대기오염의 중요성을 인지하고 있고 지역별 대기오염물질 배출 및 대기오염도 현황을 분석하여 각 시설에서의 종합관리방안을 도출하고 있다. 2020년부터 시행되는 국제해사기구(IMO)의 선박에서 배출되는 온실가스 즉, 황성분을 포함한 연소배기가스 중 CO2, SOX,NOX, PM2.5의 배출규제에의 대응과 배출규제해역(ECA)제도 도입에 따른 업계와 정부, 학회의 대비도 빠르게 진행되고 있다. 부산항에서도 항내계류선박과 하역장비에서의 오염물질 배출을 억제하기 위한 대체전력공급(AMP, Cold Ironing)에 대해 대응하고 있다. 본 연구는 도시주민의 건강을 위협하는 미세먼지(PM2.5)의 심각성과 배출가스의 저감을 위한 방안을 소개하고 오히려 이를 해운항만에서의 4차산업 발전의 계기로 대응하도록 하는 방향을 제시하고자 하였다. 산업화 과정에서 필연적인 대기오염을 저감시키는 방안이 새로운 해양산업으로 전환하기를 기대한다.

Recently, there are increasing numbers of study regarding hydrogen fuels but researches on desulfurization of diesel are rare. In this study, we performed diesel desulfurization reactor design by computation fluid dynamics simulation. By analyzing the change in flow and sulfur concentration at the outlet according to the changes in flow rate, reactor length, and reactor diameter, we have found the minimum catalyst performance for the given flow rate condition and the relation between the reactor performance and the reactor size and shape. We also studied the effects of permeability of the packed bed on the flow and sulfur concentration distribution. The present work can be utilized to design a diesel desulfurization reactor for a fuel cell used in ships. Furthermore, the present work also can be used to design low sulfur diesel supply in oil refineries and therefore contribute to the development of clean petrochemical technology.

In this study, we performed numerical simulation for the catalyst regeneration process of diesel desulfurization reactor. We analyzed the changes in regeneration process according to purge gas flow rate, catalyst permeability, reactor size, and heat loss of reactor. We have found that the regeneration process is very much affected by temperature changes whereas it is hardly affected by catalyst permeability and porosity. We also estimated the regeneration time according to purge gas flow rate and initial temperatures and have found that increasing purge gas temperature is more effect for fast regeneration. The present results can be utilized to design a regeneration process of diesel desulfurization reactor for a fuel cell used in ships. Furthermore, the present work also can be used to design low sulfur diesel supply in oil refineries and therefore contribute to the development of clean petrochemical technology.

Atmospheric pollutant emissions, mainly exhaust gas emissions from vessels, and the resultant social costs of pollution in the Korean harbor cities of Incheon, Mokpo, Gwangyang, Busan and Ulsan, are examined in this study, and the need for an emissions reduction plan is highlighted. Busan had several vessels entering its port, while Mokpo had few vessels, yet the vessels emission contribution was high in both the cities. Ulsan had world-class heavy-chemical industries, Gwangyang had steel mills and Incheon had a manufacturing industry and more vessels entering its port than Mokpo, yet the emission contribution was low in these cities. By calculating exhaust gas emissions from the vessels, it was found that CO₂ was the highest, followed by NOx and SOx. By vessel type, Busan, Ulsan, and Incheon had more oil tank vessels, Gwangyang had more cargo vessels, and Mokpo had more ferries. As a result of social cost, Busan paid the highest, while the highest emission was PM. The use of low-sulfur oil can directly reduce PM and, SOx emissions and indirectly reduce NOx emissions. However, in order to reduce high CO₂ emissions, only low-sulfur oil will not help. Therefore, the study suggested the need for reduction plan that use of fossil fuels, by using alternative maritime power (AMP).
