For the remediation and restoration of contaminated sediment at the West Sea-Byeong dumping site, dredged materials was dumped in 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017. The physicochemical properties and benthic fauna in surface sediments of the capping area (5 stations) and natural recovery area (2 stations) were analyzed annually from 2014 to 2020 to evaluate the capping effect of the dredged materials. The natural recovery area had a finer sediment with a mean particle size of 5.91-7.64 Φ, while the sediment in the capping area consisted of coarse-grained particles with a mean particle size of 1.47-3.01 Φ owing to the capping effect of dredged materials. Considering that the contents of organic matters (COD, TOC, and TN) and heavy metals in the capping area are approximately 50 % lower (p<0.05) than that in the natural recovery area, it is judged that there is a capping effect of dredged materials. As a result of analyzing macrobenthic assemblages, the number of species and ecological indices of the capping area were significantly lower than that of the natural recovery area (p<0.05). The number of species and ecological indices at the capping area were increased for the first four years after the capping in 2013 and 2014 and then tended to decrease thereafter. It is presumed that opportunistic species, which have rapid growth and short lifetime, appeared dominantly during the initial phase of capping, and the additory capping in 2016 and 2017 caused re-disturbance in the habitat environment. In the natural recovery and capping areas, Azti's Marine Biotic Index (AMBI) was evaluated as a fine healthy status because it maintained the level of 2^nd grades (Good), whereas Benthic Pollution Index (BPI) remained at the 1^st and 2^nd grade. Therefore, capping of dredged materials for remediation of contaminated sediment in the dumping site has the effect of reducing the pollution level. However, in terms of the benthic ecosystem, it is recommended that the recovery trend should be monitored long-term. Additionally, it is necessary to introduce an adaptive management strategy when expanding the project to remediate the contaminated sediment at the dumping area in the future.

The effect of sediments in a waste dumping area on marine organisms was evaluated using sediment toxicity tests with a benthic amphipod (Monocorophium acherusicum) and bioluminescent bacterium (Vibrio fischeri) in accordance with the Korean Standard Method for Marine Wastes (KSMMW). Nine sites in the East Sea-Byeong, East Sea-Jeong, and Yellow Sea-Byeong areas were sampled from 2016 to 2019. The test results showed that the relative average survival rate (benthic amphipods) and relative luminescence inhibition rate (luminescent bacteria) were below 30%, which were judged to be "non-toxic." However, in the t-test, a total of 12 benthic amphipod samples (6, 1, 1, and 4 in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019, respectively) were significantly different (p<0.05) from the control samples. To identify the source of toxicity on benthic amphipods, a simple linear regression analysis was performed between the levels of eight heavy metals (Cr, As, Ni, Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, and Hg) in sediments and the relative average survival rate. The results indicated that Cr had the highest contribution to the toxicity of benthic amphipods (p = 0.000, R2 = 0.355). In addition, Cr was detected at the highest concentration at the DB-85 station and exceeded the Marine Environment Standards every year. Although the sediments were determined as "not toxic" according to the ecotoxicity criteria of the KSMMW, the results of the statistical significance tests and toxicity identification evaluation indicated that the toxic effect was not acceptable. Therefore, revising the criteria for determining the toxic effect by deriving a reference value through quantitative risk assessment using species sensitivity distribution curves is necessary in the future.

In order to investigate the effectiveness of methanol, which has high latent heat of evaporation and oxygen contents, for DI diesel engine performance and exhaust emission, the methanol was injected at the suction port of DI diesel engine. The injector used for test was conventional gasoline engine injector and controlled the quantity of methanol per cycle by the power supply controller which designed specially for injector. The results shown that the maximum pressure point was delayed, the value of maximum pressure was decreased, and the concentrations of both NOx and Soot were decreased, as the methanol injection quantity increased, and also the thermal efficiency of engine injected methanol under the high load condition was similar to no methanol injection but under the medium load condition was decreased within the experimental conditions.

환경문제에 관한 관심이 급속히 증가하고 있는 가운데, 1995년 여름 유조선 씨 프린스호의 여천 앞바다 좌초로 다량의 기름이 유출되었다. 이 사고 이후 두달이 채 지나기도 전에 유조선 제1유일호가 부산 앞바다에서 침몰하는 사고가 발생했다. 통계1)에 의하면, 1991년 1월부터 1995년 9월말까지 우리나라 연안에서 총 1,583 건의 오염사고가 발생하였고, 유출량은 22,541톤, 피해금액 3,231억원으로 집계되었다. 해양오염사고중 기름에 의한 오염사호는 총발생건수의 92%로 대부분을 차지하고 있다. 배출원인은 선박사고가 전체 발생건수의 87%, 육상 및 해양시설에 의한 사고가 10.5%, 배출원인 불명이 2.5%였다. 오염물질 중 기름의 종류별 유출랑은 경유 6,509톤, 벙커유 3,928톤, 선저폐수 759톤으로, 경유가 가장 많고 다음으로 벙커유가 많았다. 해상 기름유출사호는 기름운반선 등에 의해 하루에 한번 꼴로 크고 작은 기름유출사고를 일으키고 있으며, 발생건수가 매년 증가하고 있다. 우리나라 연안에서의 유류 해상 수송량 증가와 선박의 대형화로 대형기름유출사고의 발생 가능성이 잠재하고 있다.

본 연구에서는 유입수의 변동이 심하고 전문가가 부재한 환경인 선박에서 발생하는 오수의 효과적인 처리를 위하여 RCM공법을 선박오수처리장치에 적용하는 실험실 규모의 실험을 수행하였다. 질소 인의 고도처리 효율과 선박이라는 특수환경과의 접목성을 검토한 결과 RCM공정에 유효미생물을 주입하는 방법은 선박환경에 적합한 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 RCM공정은 활성슬러지 공정에서 배출되는 슬러지는 배출시키지 않고 슬러지액화분해조(SDC)에서 재분해하여 순환함으로써, 최근 해양투기가 금지됨으로 인해 문제가 되고 있는 슬러지의 발생량을 최소한으로 하여 친환경적인 수처리가 가능하다. 복합미생물제제 주입 후 미생물 관찰결과 고도처리에 유리한 미생물종의 출현을 확인하였으며 이들의 상호기작으로 질소 인의 처리에 도움을 주어 처리효율이 높은것이라 판단된다. 유기물 제거효율 실험결과 $BOD_5$, CODcr T-N, T-P의 처리효율이 각각 96, 97, 78, 81.68 %로 나타나 Membrane이나 Filter없이도 강화되어가는 해양오염기준을 충족시킬 수 있는 공정으로 판단된다.

In this study, it shows the efficiency of each refrigerant through simulation method for ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) power generation that converts waste heat discarded by ship exhaust into electricity for the purpose of reducing CO₂ emission and increasing ship waste heat recovery. by Simulation was performed with waste heat from the exhaust gas which is relatively high temperature and cooling sea water which is relatively low temperature from ships. As a result of the sea water cooling ORC power generating system, efficiency of the working fluid with R717 is highest as a 2.86 % and the next working fluid is R152a, R134a, R143a and R125a.

Recently, one of the major issues of shipbuilding and marine is the reduction of air and marine pollution emission to ships. In response, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has concluded an international convention (MARPOL) to prevent pollution from ships. A Annex Six of The Convention restricts and regulates air and marine pollution of ship from exhausting gases. To this end, it is required to apply EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Indicators) to the construction of new ships, and to minimize the emission of environmental pollutants by recommending the application of EEOI (Energy Efficiency Operation Indicators) to operational ships. Therefore, in this study, we propose to calculate the grade of operating efficiency (EG) of ships based on actual operational data for transport ships and to provide energy-efficient optimal path search information through analysis of marine environment data.
