A numerical model which simulates the heat and mass transfer processes within a counter-current plate type generator for ammonia/water absorption refrigerators was developed. Ammonia/water solution flows downward under gravity and ammonia/water vapor generated by flow boiling flows upward. The flow pattern within the generator was assumed to be a bubbly flow, and the liquid and vapor phase were assumed to be saturated. It was shown that the boiling of ammonia occurred mainly in the upper part of the generator. The effects of the generator length, the wall temperature and the mass flow rate of ammonia/water solution into the generator on the generation of ammonia/water vapor were investigated.

본 논문에서는 암모니아의 전해 분해를 위한 분리막 반응기의 음극방 및 양극방에서 물의 전해에 따른 암모니아 용액의 pH 변화가 고찰되었으며, 단위 전해 셀이 적층된 다단 전해 반응기에서의 암모니아의 연속식 분해 특성이 평가되었다. 분리막을 가지는 반응기에서 암모니아 용액의 전해 반응 시, 양극에서는 pH가 8 이하에서부터 수소 이온이 생성되는 물 분해 반응이 일어나며, 음극에서는 pH가 11 이상에서부터 수산기 이온이 생성되는 물 분해 반응이 일어나 암모니아 용액의 pH를 변화시켜 암모니아 전해 분해에 영향을 크게 미쳤으며, 음이온 교환막을 사용하는 경우가 양이온 교환막을 사용하는 경우보다 양극방에서 암모니아 분해에 유리한 알카리 분위기를 보다 효과적으로 유지할 수 있었다. 분리막 전해 반응기의 특성을 이용하여 자체 pH 조정 기능을 가지는 연속식 암모니아 전해 반응기가 새롭게 고안하였고, 여기서는 pH-조정조 탱크 용액을 두고 이의 용액 일부를 음극방으로 순환시킴으로써, 양극방으로 주입되는 pH-조정조의 용액의 pH를 높여 암모니아 분해율을 높일 수 있었다. 또한, 그러한 반응기를 이용한 salt-free 연속식 암모니아 전해 분해 공정이 제시되었으며, 이러한 공정에서는 염소 이온을 가지는 암모니아 용액의 80％까지 연속적으로 암모니아를 환경에 무해한 질소로 분해 시킬 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 막 접촉기에서 운전조건에 따른 암모니아 제거 특성에 대해 알아보았다. 물질 전달 계수를 이용하여 각 조건에서의 암모니아 제거효율을 정량적으로 비교하였다. PTFE 재질의 막을 이용한 본 시스템에서 빠른 시간 내에 효율적으로 암모니아 탈기가 가능하였다. 여러 가지 운전조건 항목 중에서 접촉시간과 용액의 pH가 전체 제거 효율에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 다른 가압 방식의 막 분리 공정과는 다르게 본 공정에서는 유입수의 고형물질에 의해 효율이 감소하는 현상은 발견되지 않았다. 또한, 삼투 증류(osmotic distillation)에 의해 물질 전달 효율이 감소하는 현상은 흡수용액의 온도를 증가시키는 것으로 해결할 수 있었다. 본 연구에 사용한 막 접촉기 시스템은 유입수와 흡수용액(stripping solution)의 유속, 유입수의 pH 등을 최적화 할 경우에 고농도 암모니아 제거에 효과적으로 사용할 수 있을 것이라 예상된다.

In the present study, an evaporative generation process of ammonia-water solution film on the vertical plate was analysed. For the utilization of waste heat, hot water of low temperature was used as the heat source. The continuity, momentum, energy and diffusion equations for the solution film and vapor mixture were formulated in integral forms and solved numerically. Counter-current solution-vapor flow resulted in the refrigerant vapor of the higher ammonia concentration than that of co-current flow. Eve the rectification of refrigerant vapor was observed near the inlet of solution film in counter-current flow. For the optimum operation of generator using hot water, numerical experiments, based on the heat exchange and generation efficiencies. revealed the inter-relationships among the Reynolds number of the solution film and hot water, and the length of generator. Enhancement of heat and mass transport in the solution film was found to be very effective for the improvement of generation performance, especially at high solution flow rate.

This paper discussed the effect of ammonia concentration adsorbed on fly ash for the ammonia emission as AAFA (Ammonia Adsorbed Fly Ash) produced from coal fired plants due to operation of NOx reduction technologies was landfilled with distilled or sea water at closed and open systems, respectively. Ammonia bisulfate and sulfates adsorbed on fly ash is highly water soluble. The pH of ammonium bisulfate and sulfate solution had significant effect on ammonia odor emission. The effect of temperature on ammonia odor emission from mixture was less than pH, the rate of ammonia emission increased with increased temperature when the pH conditions were kept at constant. Since AAFA increases the pH of solution substantially, $NH_3$ in the ash can release the ammonia order unless it is present at low concentration. $NH_4{^+}$ ion is unstable in fly ash and water mixtures of high pH at open system, which is changed to nitrite or nitrate and then released as ammonia gas. The proper conditions for < 20 ppm of ammonia concentration released from the AAFAs landfilled in ash pond were explored using an open system with sea water. It was therefore proposed that optimal operation to collect AAFA of less than 168 ppm ammonia at the electrostatic precipitator were controlled to ammonia slip with less than 5 ppm at SCR/SNCR installations, and, ammonia odor released from mixture of fly ash of 168 ppm ammonia with sea water under open system has about 20 ppm.

In air stripping of ammonia from the aqueous solution, a new removal model was presented considering the equilibrium principles for the ammonia in aqueous solution and between the aqueous and air phase. The effects of pH, temperature and airflow rate on the ammonia removal were evaluated with the model. In addition, the saturation degree of ammonia in air was defined and used to evaluate the effect of each experimental factor on the removal rate. As pH (8.9 to 11.9) or temperature (20 to 50 oC) was increased, the overall removal rate constants in all cases were appeared to be increased. Our presented model shows that the degrees of saturation were about the same (0.45) in all cases when the airflow condition remains the same. This result indicates that the effect of pH and temperature were directly taken into consideration in the model equation. As the airflow increases, the overall removal rate constants were increased in all cases as expected. However, the saturation degree was exponentially decreased with increasing the airflow rate in the air phase (or above-surface) aeration. In the subsurface aeration the saturation degree remains a constant value of 0.65 even though the airflow rate was increased. These results indicate that the degree of saturation is affected mainly by the turbulence of the aqueous solution and remains the same above a certain airflow rate.

Falling film rectification involves simultaneous heat and mass transfer between vapor and liquid interface. In the present work, the adiabatic rectification process of ammonia-water vapor on the vertical plate was investigated. The continuity, momentum, energy and diffusion equations for the solution film and vapor mixture were formulated in integral forms and solved numerically. The model could predict the film thickness, the pressure gradient, and the mass transfer rate. The effects of Reynolds number and ammonia concentration of solution and vapor mixture, rectifier length, and the enhancement of mass transfer in each phases were investigated. The stripping of water in vapor mixture occurred new the entrance of ammonia solution, which imposed the proper size of an adiabatic rectifier. Rectifier efficiency increased as film Reynolds number increased and as vapor mixture Reynolds number decreased. The improvement of rectifier efficiency was significant with the enhancement of mass transfer in falling film.

A novel estimation method was investigated for determining the concentrations of residual biomass, poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), and main nutrients including carbon and nitrogen sources, phosphate, and mineral ions from the supplied amount of ammonia solution used for a pH-control solution and nitrogen source in a PHB fermentation. The estimation equations for a batch culture and a fed-batch culture were derived from the relationship between the growth rate of residual biomass and the feed rate of the pH-control solution, and then were applied to the batch culture and the fed-batch cultures of Alcaligenes latus. This method was successfully applied to estimate the concentrations of residual biomass, PHB, and nutrients.

Two combined autothermal thermophilic aerobic digestion (ATAD) and biofilter (BF) systems were operated to treat the piggery wastewater and the ammonia offgas. Experimental results indicated that the organic removal efficiency of ATAD-2, operated with oxygen, was higher than that of ATAD-1, operated with air. The concentration of ammonia in ATAD-2 offgas was higher compared to ATAD-1 offgas, but the total amount of ammonia produced from ATAD-2 was less than that from ATAD-1 due to the lower oxygen flowrate. The ammonia gas produced from both ATAD reactors was successfully removed by the BF. The BF-1, connected with ATAD-1, removed 93% of ammonia at the loading rate of $9.4g\;NH_3-N/m^3/hr$. The BF-2, connected with ATAD-2, removed 95% of ammonia gas at the loading rate of $8.1g\;NH_3-N/m^3/hr$. As the nitrification process continued, pH value of recirculating solution continuously decreased due to the accumulation of nitrate. When the ammonia loading rate was less than $22.7g\;NH_3-N/m^3/h$, the proper replacing cycle of recirculating solution was in the range of 10 to 11 days. Almost 90% of total mass of nitrogen fed into the each BF was confirmed from the mass balance on nitrogen.
