In this study, the filtering characteristics of sulfur gases were investigated from a number of respects. For the purpose of this study, a standard gas containing a single oxidized S ($SO_2$) and five reduced S compounds (RSCs) including $H_2S$, $CH_3SH$, DMS, $CS_2$, and DMDS was prepared. After flowing this standard gas through a glass fiber filter, its removal efficiencies were examined by comparing the concentrations between prior to and after its passage. The results indicated that almost complete removal of $SO_2$ was achieved by this filtering, while the patterns for RSCs were distinguished by such factors as molecular weight or reactivity. It was found that about 60% of the most reactive RSC, $H_2S$ was removed by filter, while the heavy RSC generally showed removal rate of about 5% or less.

In this study, computer simulation works have been performed for the capture process of the $CO_2$ and $H_{2}S$ gases contained in the effluent stream using methanol aqueous solution. In order to increase the solubilities of the $CO_2$ and $H_{2}S$ in the methanol aqueous stream, the operating pressure of the absorber was raised to 30 bar and the feeding temperature of the solvent was lowered to $-20^{\circ}C$ by using refrigeration cycle. NRTL liquid activity coefficient model was used to estimate the liquid phase nonidealities for methanol and water. Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of state was used for the vapor phase nonidealities. Henry's law option was also used to calculate the solubilities of the supercritical noncondensible gases into the methanol aqueous solvent stream.

인간의 생활수준은 산업의 발달과 함께 꾸준히 향상되고 있으나 환경은 산업발달의 부산물로 배출되는 공해물질들로 인하여 급속히 열악해지고 있다. 대표적인 악취물질로는 암모니아, 황화수소 및 트리메틸아민 등을 들 수 있으며 공간으로부터 악취분자들을 적극적으로 제거하는 탈취소취법에 오늘날 많은 관심이 집중되고 있다. 일반적인 탈취재료는 활성탄, 제올라이트 등의 무기물이 오래전부터 사용되고 있으나 이들의 대표적인 악취물질인 암모니아가스, 황화수소 등 유해가스에 대한 흡착능력은 매우 낮으며 흡착제 형태가 입상이기 때문에 성형가공면에서 한계가 있다.

매립지에서 유기물의 분해로 발생되는 매립가스는 악취 등으로 인한 대기오염뿐만 아니라 온난화지수가 21인 메탄이 약 50vol% 이상 포함되어 있어 지구온난화에 큰 영향을 미친다. 하지만 매립가스를 에너지원으로 활용하면 대기오염저감, 지구온난화 감소, 대체에너지원 확보뿐만 아니라 CDM사업 등과 연계하여 부가수익창출이 가능하다. 현재 국내에는 약 242개의 폐기물매립지가 있는데, 이중 매립가스를 활용하는 곳은 단지 14개소로 개별 경제성이 있는 대형매립지에서만 자원화시설을 설치하여 운영 중이며 그 외 매립지에서는 매립가스를 소각 또는 단순 대기 방출하여 대기오염유발과 동시에 대체에너지원 미활용으로 국가차원에서 큰 손실이므로 이를 활용할 수 있는 기술개발이 시급하다. 현재 매립가스 에너지화 기술로는 매립가스 열량에 따라 가스엔진, 가스터진, 증기터빈을 이용하는데 국내에서는 수분제거와 같은 간단한 처리 과정을 거친 후, 정제 없이 사용한다. 그런데 매립가스 구성 성분 중 일부 미량가스($H_2S$ 등)는 부식성이 높아 실제 공정에서 큰 문제점으로 작용하게 되므로 전처리공정이 반드시 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 중소규모 매립지에서 발생하는 매립가스를 중심적환장으로 이송하여 경제성을 가지는 에너지원으로 활용할 수 있는 기술개발을 목표로 하이드레이트 기술을 활용함에 있어 전처리 기초연구를 수행하였다. 매립가스 구성성분 중 대표적 악취물질인 메르캅탄과 부식성 물질인 황화수소의 전처리 기술로서 활성탄 흡착방법을 이용하여 외부에서 관찰이 가능하고 흡착탑을 2단으로 구성하여 활성탄 흡착탑을 제작하였다. 대상가스는 일반적으로 매립가스에 포함되어 있는 성분으로 제작하여 사용하였고 흡착탑 전 후 가스의 성분분석은 LMSxi를 이용하였다. 실험결과 활성탄의 상태, 접촉시간, 흡착탑의 구성에 따라 50~80%의 제거효율을 보였으며 이는 활성탄 흡착탑을 매립가스 에너지화의 전처리 시설로 사용될 경우 각각의 변수들에 대해 정확한 공정설계가 필요하다고 할 수 있다.

폐기물 합성가스에 포함되어 있는 오염물질 중 황화합물($H_2S$, COS)이 존재할 경우, 다른 연계 공정을 구성하는 설비의 부식, 합성가스 이용 공정의 촉매 피독 문제, 대기 배출시 환경오염 문제 등을 야기 시키므로 제거가 필요하다. 고온 정제 공정을 적용하여 황화합물을 제거하기위해 산화아연을 이용한 고온 탈황 실험을 수행하였다. 고정층 반응기에 탈황제로 선정한 산화아연을 충진하고, 공간속도 $3,000h^{-1}$, 입구 황화합물의 농도 $H_2S$ 1,000ppm, COS 300ppm일 때 반응 온도 변화에 따른 탈황특성을 살펴보았다. 가스 내부에 $H_2S$가 단독으로 존재할 경우에는 $400^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 모두 제거되었으나, $H_2S$와 COS가 동시에 존재할 경우에는 $450^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 모두 제거되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 반응온도 $500^{\circ}C$에서 산화아연 탈황제를 이용한 실험결과 $H_2S$, COS의 파과시간은 각각 1,217, 1,063 min, 흡착능력은 269.9 mg-$H_2S$/g-sorbent, 124.7 mg-COS/g-sorbent으로 파악되었다.

The different microbial species were isolated from soy bean paste samples. A yeast strain NASS-2 was effective to decrease odor activity on pig excreata was identified as Pichia farinosa based on nucleotide sequences of 18S ribosomal DNA and Internal transcribed space (ITS). The extracellular fraction of P. farinosa NASS-2 was effective to decrease odor activity of pig excrements. Optimal medium component for decreasing order activity on odor material composed of soluble starch 2.0% (w/v) and yeast extract 0.8% (v/v). The decrease of odor material was maximum at $28^{\circ}C$ for 72 hours with pH 5.5. When the P. farinosa NASS-2 culture broth was treated to pig excrements, the removal efficiency was an average concentration with 1.38 ppm of ammonia gas.

In this study, both transient behaviors of a biofilter system with improved design and a conventional biofilter were observed to perform the treatment of waste air containing malodor and volatile organic compound (VOC). Their behaviors of removal efficiency and treated concentration of malodor and VOC were compared each other. During 1st~7th stages of improved biofilter system operation it was observed that the order of treated ethanol concentration at each sampling port was switched due to the difference of microbe-population-distribution in spite of the difference of biofilter effective height. However, at 8th stage of its operation, the order of treated ethanol concentration at each sampling port was consistent to the order of biofilter effective height at each sampling port. The same was applied to the case of hydrogen sulfide, even though the difference of switched treated-hydrogen sulfide-concentrations was less than that of switched treated-ethanol-concentrations. The ethanol-removal efficiency of the biofilter system with improved design was ca. 96%, which was greater by 2% than that of the conventional biofilter. The transient behavior of treated hydrogen sulfide concentration of both biofilters were similar to each other. However, the concentration of hydrogen sulfide treated by the biofilter system with improved design was observed lower than that by the conventional biofilter. The hydrogen sulfide-removal efficiency of the biofilter system with improved design was higher by ca. 2% than that of the conventional biofilter. Therefore, the hydrogen sulfide-removal efficiency of the biofilter system with improved design was observed to be enhanced by the same as its ethanol-removal efficiency.

As the distributed generation becomes more reliable and economically feasible, it is expected that a higher application of the distributed generation units would be interconnected to the existing grids. This paper describes the results for the mechanical and environmental tests of pretreatment system material. Mechanical Characteristics make differences between parent / weldment, Notch existence / non-existence and air/$H_2O$ conditions. As a result, the life of pipe lines needs to maintain and fit for the operating period. Based on actual situations, the tension test of pipe welding-parts is carried out varying the exposure time of hydrogen sulfide and the fatigue resistance test is also performed inserting a notch into the pipe welding part, being exposed to the hydrogen sulfide environment for 720 hours.

산성가스용 방독마스크 정화통은 활성탄에 정화제를 첨착시킨 첨착 활성탄을 사용하여 유해가스를 제거하여 왔으며, 일반적으로 알칼리제인 Ca(OH)$_2$를 첨착시켜 유독가스와 중화반응을 유도하여 왔다. 그러나 이들의 흡착제거 능력이 크지 않아 많은 양을 사용하여야 하는 문제점이 있었다. 따라서 정화통의 성능을 좌우하는 새로운 첨착물질을 선정하여야 고효율ㆍ저비용 정화통을 개발할 수 있으며, 본 연구에서는 이러한 첨착흡착제를 개발하여 이를 방독마스크 정화통에 적용하고자 하였다.(중략)

DIWS system was introduced to remove hydrogen sulfide from the biogas of wastewater treatment plant. In the case of using water into the DIWS system more than 5,000mg/L of hydrogen sulfide, 25% of H2S removal efficiency was shown and required such further treatment process as incineration which was obtained more than 98%. When the inflow of hydrogen sulfide was 5,000mg/L, CH4 and CO2 were effectively discharged and the reduction was 8.7% and 28.6%, respectively. When such neutralization chemicals as Na2CO3 and NaOH were introduced into the DIWS system, H2S was removed more than 97.2% keeping pH in the range of 11.2 to 11.5.
