In this study, an investigation was conducted to assess the washout mechanism of Asian dust particles through both laboratory-scale experiment and model calculation. To artificially simulate Asian dust particle, $CaCO_3$ particles were generated inside an experimental chamber. They were then scavenged by the artificial rain drops. The abundant $CaCO_3$ particles scavenged on a rain drop were successively identified by SEM observation. The concentrations of Ca in residual $CaCO_3$ particles on individual droplet were quantified by PIXE analysis. There was a tendency toward a high accumulation of Ca on a relatively small drop (e.g., <1.0 mm diameter). It is thus suggested that smaller rain drops can effectively scavenge a significant amount of Asian dust particles in ambient atmosphere. The numerical estimation can account for 92.1% and 83.2% of Ca that were measured in small (<1.0 mm diameter) and large (>2.0 mm diameter) size drops, respectively.

This study investigated characteristics of meteorological parameters and ionic components of PM_2.5 during Asian dust events on November 28 and 30, 2018 at Busan, Korea. The seasonal occurrence frequencies of Asian dust during 1960~2019 (60 years) were 81.7% in spring, 12.2% in winter, and 6.1% in autumn. Recently, autumn Asian dust occurrence in Busan has shown an increasing trend. The result of AWS (automatic weather station), surface weather chart, and backward trajectory analyses showed that the first Asian dust of Nov. 28, 2018, in Busan came with rapid speed through inner China and Bohai Bay from Mongolia. The second Asian dust of Nov. 30, 2018, in Busan seems to have resulted from advection and deposition of proximal residual materials. These results indicated that understanding the characteristics of meteorological parameters and ionic components of PM_2.5 during Asian dust events could provide insights into establishing a control strategy for urban air quality.

본 연구에서는 대풍량 곡물건조기에 사용되는 수평형 집진기의 집진효율 향상과 최적화를 위한 연구의 선행과정으로 Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD)를 이용하여 집진기 내부의 유동 특성 분석과 원뿔형 허브의 각 변화가 집진기의 집진성능에 미치는 영향을 해석하였다. 최근 집진기 입구에 원뿔형 허브와 고정 베인을 설치하여 선회유동(Swirl Flow)을 발생시켜 이물질을 공기와 분리시키는 수평형 사이클론 집진기(Horizontal type Cyclone Dust collector)가 개발되었다. 이 집진기는 크기가 비교적 작고 설치가 용이하고 비교적 배압이 낮아 추가 동력을 필요로 하지 않으며 베인의 선회력을 이용하기 때문에 대풍량 배습용 송풍기에도 적용할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 수평형 집진기 형상으로 인해 발생하는 집진기 내부의 배압 문제와 분진 퇴적 문제를 해결하기 위해서 3차원 유동해석을 이용하여 집진기 내부 형상 변화에 따른 유동 특성에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. 실제 곡물건조기에 적용 가능한 수평형 집진기 설계를 위한 기초 자료를 제공하였으며, 향후 연구 예정인 고정 베인 설계, 주분리관 및 중간분리관의 설계에 적용하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to estimate hourly Asian dust emission flux in springtime by using the optimized Weather Research Forecasting model (WRF) in order to accurately predict the horizontal flux of Asian dusts. Asian dust emission flux using 5 empirical formulas such as US EPA, Park and Inn, Wang, The Goddard Chemistry Aerosol Radiation and Transport (GOCART) and Dust Entrainment and Deposition (DEAD) were calculated and compared by using classified land-use types and size distribution at various locations in China and Mongolia together with the hourly meteorological elements of the WRF model. As a result, the empirical formula in US EPA among them, which was considered the various conditions such as vegetation, soil type and terrain, was better than the other 4 empirical formulas. However, these formulas were adjusted hourly and vertically in time and space because there was different order and time resolution of dust emissions from original empirical formulas.

This study is carried out to investigate the chemical composition of atmospheric deposition in Cheju Island, Korea. For this purpose, dustfall matter samples are collected by dust jar from August, 1995 to July, 1996 at five sampling sites and total suspended particulate matters (TSP) and rain are also collected at one site from October, 1995 to July, 1996. All the samples collected are analyzed, and then the information of the 19 chemical species and deposition amount of each species is obtained. These data are used to determine the regional trends in dustfall chemistry and deposition, and compare the characteristics of chemical compositions between dustfall, TSP and rainwater.

The atmospheric deposition flux was measured with dustfall from July of 1997 to July of 1998 at nine sampling sites located in Tae-an peninsula to examine the seasonal variations. The results showed that the average dry deposition was higher in spring than the other seasons. Thus, it is considered that yellow sand is one major source of the additional deposition flux in spring. There also appeared the higher measurement of deposition at the sites nearby road (like Hagampo, Bangali and Sinduri) in summer, and it is assumed that the heavy traffic caused by summer visitors was the main factor of that. For more accurate study, the qualitiative analysis should be taken on the deposited materials.

To estimate dry deposition flux of 12 elements in aerosols, aerosol particles were sampled by a low-pressure impactor(LPI) and a dust jar. The concentrations of 12 elements in aerosol particle and dry deposition were analyzed by a PIXE analysis using as a 2.0 MeV-proton beam. The mean dry deposition velocities of 12 elements were estimated by ranges of 0.74∼2.62 cm/sec. The results showed that the highest value was 3.26 cm/sec for Ca and the lowest value 0.74 cm/sec for Fe. The dry deposition flux for elements was calculated as a function of particle size by 1-step method and 12-step method. In this work, dry deposition velocities were computed with the two existing models; the coarse-particle fraction(4∼30 mm diameter) using the dry deposition velocity model of the Noll and Fang(1998) and the fine-particle fraction (0.05∼4mm diameter) using the Shemel and Hodgson(1980) model. The ratios of the mean calculated/measured fluxes were 3.59 for 1-step method and 0.60 for 12-step method respectively.

Estimations of dry and wet depositions in Korea and the size distributions of yellow sand above Korea have been carried out using the Eulerian aerosol model with the simulated meteorological data from the SNU mesoscale meteorological model. The estimated particle size distribution in Korea shows a bimodal distribution with peak values at 0.6 pm and 7 pm and a minimum at 2 pm in the lower layer However, as higher up, the bimodal distribution becomes an unimodal distribution with a peak value at 4∼5mm. Among the total amount of yellow sand deflated in the source regions , the dry and wet deposition fluxes were about 92%, and about 1.3∼0.5%, repectively, and the rest(5∼6%) is suspended in the air, Most of dust lifted in the air during the clear weather is deposited in the vicinity of the source regions by dry deposition and the rest undergoes the long -range transport with a gradual removal by the wet deposition processes. Over Korean peninsula, the total amount of yellow sand suspended in the air was about 6∼8% of the emissions in the source region and the dry and wet deposition fluxes were about 0.005∼0.7% and 0.003∼0.051% of the total emitted amount, repectively. It is estimated that 2.7∼8.9 mesa-tons of yellow sand is transported annually over the Korean peninsula with the annual mean dry deposition of 2.1∼490 kilo-tons and the annual mean wet deposition of 1.5∼65 kilo-tons.

Atmospheric dry deposition fluxes and size segregated concentrations of particulate metal elements were measured at four sites in Kunpo, a small city in the Seoul metropolitan area in Korea. At each site, aerosol samples were collected by dry deposition plates, a cascade impactor, and a coarse panicle rotary impactor during four sampling periods. At all sites, the average fluxes of metals measured during daytime were higher than nighttime fluxes due to higher wind speeds and higher ambient concentrations during daytime. The average fluxes of crustal elements (Al, Ca) were 1∼2 orders of magnitude higher than anthropogenic elements (As, Cd, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn). The daytime fluxes of Al and Ca were between 90 and 12000 $\mu\textrm{g}$ m$\^$-2/ day$\^$-1/, and the nighttime fluxes of Al and Ca were between 20 and 2200 $\mu\textrm{g}$ m$\^$-2/ day$\^$-1/. The daytime fluxes of Pb, a typical anthropogenic element, were between 20 and 160$\mu\textrm{g}$ m$\^$-2/ day$\^$-1/, and the nighttime fluxes of Pb were between ND and 100$\mu\textrm{g}$ m$\^$-2/ day$\^$-1/. Also the ambient metal concentrations during daytime were higher than nighttime. Based on a dust emission estimation study in Kunpo, it was found that dust emissions during daytime are higher than nighttime. The concentrations of crustal elements were higher than anthropogenic elements. The distributions of heavy metals were mainly in small particles (D$\_$p/ 9㎛). The fraction of crustal elements in the large particles (D$\_$p/> 9㎛) were higher than anthropogenic elements.
