The result of a small electrostatic precipitator which is in order to decrease indoor air pollution for optimal efficiency was shown as follows. Although the closer distance between the discharge electrode and dust collecting electrode shows the better throughput efficiency by forming strong electrostatic Field, it does not have profound impact in case of optimal dust collecting area. G.P(gas passage) which is the distance from dust collecting electrode to dust collecting electrode is a crucial factor to decide dust collecting efficiency. The narrower distance of G.P shows the better throughput efficiency whereas it decreases when the distance is too narrow since sparks ensue by increasing the capacity of electrostatic charging system 5 mm regards as optimal efficiency in this experiment. Although the higher voltage shows the higher dust collecting efficiency overall, the experiment was not able to keep performing since the sparks which decrease dust collecting efficiency ensue over 40 kV. The efficient and safe voltage state is considered 3.6 kV in this experiment. The most crucial factor for dust collecting efficiency of an electrostatic precipitator which is in order to decrease indoor air pollution is applied voltage. In addition, optimal raw gas flow rate(2.4 m/sec) is more important factor than the excessive increase of dust collecting area.

Objectives: Most of the $PM_{10}$ in subway stations is spread by the train-induced wind from the tunnels. Therefore, in order to improve air quality in subway stations, it is important to remove the $PM_{10}$ from the tunnels. After the installation of PSD (platform screen doors), the influence of train-induced wind and $PM_{10}$ at the platform has decreased, but is estimated to have increased in subway tunnels. This study was conducted to investigate the control of $PM_{10}$ in subway tunnels by applying a 500-fold diluted solution mixed with a humectant using a natural polymer. Methods: For this purpose, we tested the dust reduction effect in a laboratory and corrosion test and water pollution using fish and aquatic plants for the natural dust collecting agent. In the tunnel of a subway station, we used the natural dust collecting agent over 15 days. The study was carried out on $PM_{10}$ control during operation, which accounts for more than 70% of subway dust. Results: As results, the natural dust collecting agent exhibited an excellent dust control effect, and it was safe for water quality and soil. It showed the effect of controlling $PM_{10}$ in the subway tunnel by 49.5- 64.7% over 15 days. The use of the dust collecting agent for the control of $PM_{10}$ could be confirmed in the subway. Conclusion: It is necessary to clearly explain the major portions of chemical components contained in $PM_{10}$ to figure out the characteristics of $PM_{10}$ and to develop effective reduction measures to decrease the adverse effects of $PM_{10}$ in the subway.

A centrifugal cyclone dust collecting apparatus includes a hydro cyclone dust collecting apparatus for separating solid or liquid using liquid or suspension as a medium. In this study, the formation mechanism and improvement of air core and inner air layer were confirmed through Particle Image Velocimetry. These results showed that the modified experimental model was designed in the conventional method suitable for the separation of juvenile fish and eggs. The inlet speed of the multi-stage hydrocyclone dust collector, which can increase the inlet velocity and minimize floatage in the turbulence chamber, was increased from 0.15 to 0.30 m/s. As a result, the air core was stably formed, the inner air layer was increased with increasing speed. In addition, the dust collecting efficiency of egg and juvenile fish was 97.8% on average, It can infer that this system confirmed the ability to efficiently collect particles of $40{\mu}m$ or more.

Fine dust generated from vehicle brakes accounts for a significant amount of fine dust from non-exhaust system. Since such brake fine dust contains a large number of heavy metal components that are fatal to the human body, a device capable of collecting them needs to be developed. A mini cyclone, one of the devices that can effectively collect fine dust, has the advantage of relatively simple shape and high collection efficiency. Therefore, in this study, the collection efficiency of the mini-cyclone was numerically analyzed using CFD in order to find out whether such a mini-cyclone is suitable for collecting brake fine dust. As a result, the cut-off diameter was predicted to be about 1.5㎛, which means that the particle trapping load of the filter can be drastically reduced. Therefore, there is a possibility that the mini-cyclone can be used to collect fine dust from disc brakes.

This study aimed to develop a new dust collecting system equipped with an activated carbon (A.C.) coated electrode. Before fabrication, pre-treatment of A.C. was performed to remove metal ions within the A.C. to enlarge its specific surface area. Then, pre-treated A.C., black carbon, polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), and methanol were mixed to make a gel compound, which was coated onto aluminum plates to fabricate electrodes. The optimal mixing ratio of A.C., black carbon, PVAc, and methanol was found to be 10 g: 2 g: 3 g: 20 mL. After fabrication, the electrodes were used in the batch-type experiment for $NH_3$ and $H_2S$ removal. The reduction rates of the gases were high at the beginning and slowly reduced with time. Dust collection experiments were conducted in continuous flow, with various voltages applied. Compared to 5 kV, dust removal efficiency was 1.5 times higher when 10 kV was applied. Increasing the number of electrodes applied also increased the collecting efficiency. The correlation coefficient between actual collecting efficiency and trend line was higher than 99%. Consequently, the novel dust collection system equipped with A.C. coated electrode appears to be a promising substitute for existing dust-control devices.

In this study, an intelligent solenoid valve controller has been developed for efficient maintaining of filters in a dust collecting system. This controller has automatic controllability of solenoid valves' ON/OFF time depending on the clogging status of filters, and then it can extend the filters' lifetimes, decrease the power consumption, and make effective operation of the system possible. This controllability has been executed by the fuzzy theory that utilizes the workers' experimental knowledges, the control expert's knowledges and the differential pressures between the inlets and outlets measured by the sensors. The system's operation is under the continuous surveillance by using a current transformer, which warns the operators and lets them take necessary actions in case of abnormal operation.

Traditionally, so-called "industrial waste gases", such ad exhaust from boilers at industrial installations and a large quantity of soot discharged from power station, before their release into the atmosphere, have been on occasion subjected to an air cleaning process to remove fine particles that may pollute the atmosphere (such as mist and dust containing various powdery or oily substances and moisture from industrial waste gases). The release of industrial waste gases containing these particles directly into the atmosphere poses a serious threat to the earth environment; and recovery of these noxious substances is required by law in some countries and local governments. in urban areas, air pollution from automobile exhaust and others creates a serious condition. Some homes are equipped with and use indoor air purifiers. In many of the kitchens of restaurants, smoke generated during cooking and otherwise contaminated air are cleansed by air purifiers before being released outside or recycled inside. For the dust collecting devices to recover the fine particles contained in contaminated air, the cause for air pollution and how to purify air, many types based on various principles are known. Specifically, classified based on theories of particle collection, filtration, gravity, inertia, centrifugation, electricity, and cleaning types are cited as available processes. Among them, an appropriate type is selected according to the size or type of fine particles to be collected and conditions for installation. For the efficiency of dust collection, a filtration system (by using bag filters and others) and electric system are particularly outstanding and are therefore used widely in various areas of industry. In this research, rotary type high performance oil mist and smoke collecting system with self auto cleaning device equipped with the cleaning fluid spraying section is investigated.

최근 초미세먼지 및 미세먼지에 대한 심각성은 국가적 차원의 재난으로 대두되고 있으나 지방 중소도시는 면적에 비해 미세먼지 측정소가 부족하여 미세먼지관리가 어려운 측면이 있다. 미세먼지 데이터의 수집과 처리를 위한 컴퓨팅자원은 규모가 크지않지만 데이터를 공유를 위하여 클라우드와 민간 및 공공데이터를 활용하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 미세먼지 및 초미세먼지 그리고 온·습도를 측정하여 이를 처리하여 미세먼지 실시간 관제와 대국민서비스할 수 있는 소형 엣지컴퓨팅 시스템을 제안하였다. 미세먼지 데이터의 수집과 공공 및 민간데이터를 활용하여 미세먼지 등급을 서비스하는 것은 데이터양이 크지 않고 처리부하가 크지 않기 때문에 라즈베리파이를 이용한 엣지컴퓨팅으로 처리하는 것이 효율적이다. 실험을 위하여 3가지 센서와 라즈베리파이 그리고 Thinkspeak를 이용하여 실험시스템을 구성하였으며 경북북부권지역에 대한 미세먼지 측정을 실험하였다. 실험결과 민간의 GIS데이터 기반에 시간에 따른 측정된 미세먼지 측정결과가 정확하게 확인되었다.

Objectives: In this study, a nine-stage cascade impactor was used to collect dust, and the concentration of $PM_{2.1}$ & $PM_{10}$ and alveolar deposition ratio were investigated. Methods: This study was conducted at Kunsan National University from May to June 2016. A nine-stage Cascade Impactor was used to analyze the concentrations of fine and ultrafine dust and to estimate the alveolar deposition rate by particle size of atmospheric dust particles. The pore size of each stage of the collector used in this study gradually increased from F to 0, with the F-stage as the last stage. Results: The mass fraction of PM showed a bimodal distribution divided into $PM_{2.1}$ & $PM_{10}$ based on $2.1-3.1{\mu}m$. The average mass fraction of particulate matter in the range of $2.1-3.1{\mu}m$ was 44%, and the area occupied by $PM_{2.1}$ was similar. Therefore, the Gunsan area is considered to be a region where there are similar effects from anthropogenic and natural sources. Conclusion: Dust collecting efficiency increased with the stage of collecting fine dust, and the efficiency of collection was very low at the stage of collecting ultra-fine dust. The seasonal overall efficiency of the Cascade Impactor was 44% in spring and 37.4% in summer, and the average overall efficiency was 40.7%. The alveolar deposition rate of $PM_{2.1}/PM_{10}$ during the sampling period was estimated to be about 75% deposited in the alveoli.
