본 논문은 실내에 잔존하는 직경 1[${\mu}m$] 이하의 미세먼지들을 집진하기 위하여 전기집진기를 설계하였으며, 이때 집진 효율의 극대화를 위하여 전계와 동시에 자계를 수직 및 수평으로 배치함에 따른 실험실 공기중에 포함된 미세먼지의 집진특성에 대하여 논하였다. 전계에 수평으로 자계를 인가한 경우는 자계의 유무 및 자석의 수량에 관계없이 집진효율이 거의 일정하게 나타났으며, 자석을 수평으로 배치하여 전계에 수직으로 인가한 경우는 비자화 페라이트 막대를 부착한 경우보다 약 5[%] 이상 집진효율이 향상되었다. 또한, 자계를 전계에 수직으로 인가하는 방법에 있어서, 자석을 접지전극의 가운데 정렬한 경우는 인가전압 5[kV]에서의 집진효율이 $17{\sim}32[%]$로서 자석을 앞쪽에 설치한 경우와 유사하였으며, 지그재그 및 안쪽 끝에 정렬시킨 경우는 집진효율이 $17{\sim}38[%]$로서 향상되었으며, 특히 0.7 및 1[${\mu}m$]의 굵은 입자들에 대한 집진특성이 양호하였다. 따라서, 전기집진기의 집진특성을 향상시키기 위해서는 자계를 전계에 수직으로 접지전극의 중간 또는 지그재그 식으로 배치하는 것이 가장 적절한 것으로 판단된다.

To optimize the shape of the electrostatic precipitator for the removal of particulate matter in subway environments, the wind-tunnel experiments were carried out to characterize collection efficiency and ozone emission rate. As a standardized parameter, power consumption divided by the square of flow velocity, was increased, the $PM_{10}$ collection efficiency increased. If the standardized parameter is higher than 1.0 due to high power consumption or low flow velocity, increase in thickness of electrodes from 1 to 2 mm, or increase in distance of collection plates from 5 to 10 cm did not change the $PM_{10}$ collection efficiency much. Increase in thickness of high-voltage electrodes, however, can cause decrease in $PM_{10}$ collection efficiency by 28% for low power consumption and high flow velocity. The ozone emission rate decreased as distance of collection plates became wider, because the ozone emission rate per unit channel was constant, and the number of collection channels decreased as the distance of collection plates increased. When the distance of collection plates was narrow, the ozone emission rate increased with the increase of the thickness of electrodes, but the difference was negligible when the distance of collection plates was wide. It was found that the electrostatic precipitator having a thin high-voltage electrodes and a narrow distance of collection plates is advantageous. However, to increase the thickness of high-voltage electrodes, or to increase the distance of collection plates is needed, it is necessary to increase the applied voltage or reduce the flow rate to compensate reduction of the collection efficiency.

Industrial electrostatic precipitation is a very complex process, which involves multiple-way interaction between the electric field, the fluid flow, and the particulate motion. This paper describes a strongly coupled calculation procedure for the rigorous computation of particle dynamics during electrostatic precipitation. The turbulent gas flow and the particle motion under electrostatic forces are calculated by using the commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package FLUENT linked to a finite-volume solver for the electric field and ion charge. Particle charge is determined from both local electrical conditions and the cell residence time which the particle has experienced through its path. Particle charge density and the particle velocity are averaged in a control volume to use Lagrangian information of the particle motion in calculating the gas and electric fields. The turbulent particulate transport and the effects of particulate space charge on the electrical current flow are investigated. The calculated results for poly-dispersed particles are compared with those for mono-dispersed particles, and significant differences are demonstrated.

Agglomerated and non-agglomerated SiO$_2$ particles are synthesized in a furnace by oxidation of TEOS vapor. These polydispersed particles are classified with DMA to extract particles. Then these particles are introduced into a thermal precipitator through the ESP(Electrostatic Precipitator) to investigate the themophoretic particle deposition using CNCs(Condensation Nuclei Counter). The efficiency of themophoretic particle deposition according to agglomerated and non-agglomerated particles in the thermal precipitator has been studied as a function of particle size and TEOS mole concentration using monodisperse particles classified by DMA. The results show that the particle deposition efficiency decreases as TEOS mole concentration increases and particle size increases. Thereffre, it is concluded that the thermophoretic deposition efficiency is dependent of the particle morphology.

본 연구에서는 순환방식의 1000 CMH급 전기집진장치 성능평가 시스템 구축하여, 대용량 순산소 연소 장치 없이 순산소 연소가스 모사 조건(고농도 $CO_2$ 조건)에서 엣지-평판형 전기집진장치를 방전극 형상, 집진판 간격, 유입속도, 가스조성 및 분진 입경에 따라 성능을 평가하였다. $CO_2$ 70% 조건에서 3 종 방전극에 대해 성능 비교를 한 결과, 방전극 편 면적이 넓은 방전극이 상대적으로 높은 포집효율을 나타내었다. 또한 유입속도가 감소할수록, 분진 입경이 증가할수록, 집진판 간격이 좁을수록 분진 집진 효율이 증가하였으나, $CO_2$ 농도가 증가할수록 효율이 감소하였다. 그러므로 $CO_2$ 농도가 높을 것으로 예상되는 순산소 연소 등 배기가스 조건에 적용되는 전기집진장치를 설계할 경우, 기존과 동일한 단위 가스 체적 당 코로나 전력 조건에서 집진장치 내부 유속을 줄이거나 집진판 간격을 좁히는 설계변화가 요구되며, 방전극의 경우 방전편 면적이 넓으면서 코로나 전류가 높은 방전극이 적용되야 할 것으로 판단된다.

This study compared the collection efficiency of a two-stage electrostatic precipitator (ESP) with a lightweight PET film-coated carbon electrode collector plate, depending on the relative humidity of the exhaust gas and the applied voltage to the pre-charger. It was confirmed that the onset voltage at which corona discharge occurs decreases and the discharge current decreases at the same voltage as the relative humidity increases. On the other hand, even though there was almost no change in the diameter of the particles generated depending on the relative humidity, the efficiency was higher at the same voltage as the relative humidity increased. In addition, by applying a two-stage ESP structure, the collection efficiency was higher than that of a single-stage electrostatic precipitator under the same conditions. The ESP using the carbon electrode coated with PET film used in this study is expected to be effective in various aspects such as weight and in the current situation where environmental regulations are rapidly tightening.

In this study, we propose a small high voltage power supply, which uses a half-bridge ZCS resonant and Cockroft-Walton circuit as its ESP (Electrostatic Precipitator). This power supply transfers energy from the ZCS resonant inverter to the step-up transformer. The transformer secondary is then applied to the Cockroft-Walton circuit for generating high voltage as a discharging source of electrodes. It is highly efficient because its amount of switching losses are reduced by virtue of the current resonant half-bridge inverter, and also due to the small size, low parasitic capacitance in the transformer stage owing to the low number of winding turns of the step up transformer secondary combined with the Cockroft-Walton circuit. Using this power supply, experiments have been carried out as a function of the switching frequency and duty ratio in order to investigate the smoke removal characteristics. From these results, the best operational condition is obtained at the switching frequency of 9 kHz and the duty ratio of 50% in this ESP.

The high temperature pleated filter bags which were used during this study were made of pleated nonwoven fabric of heat and acid resistant polysulfonate fibers which can withstand the heat up to $300^{\circ}C$ and have a filtration area which is 3 to 5 times larger than the conventional round filter bags. Cartridge module packed with 3 kind of the sulfur impregnated activated-carbon based sorbents were inserted in the inner of the pleated filter bag. This type of pleated filter bag was designed to remove not only the particulate matter but also the gaseous elemental mercury. The electrostatic precipitator part can enhance the particulate removal efficiency and reduce the pressure drop of the pleated filter bag by agglomerated particles to form a more porous dust layer on the surface of the pleated bag which is increased the filter bag cleaning efficiency. In addition, the most of particles are separated from the flue gas stream through the cyclone and the electrostatic precipitator part which were installed at the lower part and main body part of the convergence particulate collector, respectively. Thus reduce particulate loading of the high temperature pleated filter bags were applied in this study to analyze the removal characteristics of particulate matter and gaseous elemental mercury.

Fly ashes have been deposited around Youngwol power plant until electrostatic precipitator was installed in 1981. Fresh fly ash samples from electrostatic precipitator and weathered fly ash from ash disposal site were collected from Youngwol power plant, along with 65 soil samples of nearby area to look into the influence of PFA deposit on the soils in surrounding area. In chemistry, EPA does not contain high level of toxic elements and there is no notable concentration of toxic elements in soil near power plant. Total concentrations of Co, Cr, Cu, V, and Zn are 13 ppm, 89 ppm, 73 ppm, 157 ppm and 57 ppm in PFA. Concentrations of theses elements in ash-rich soils are 15 ppm, 78 ppm, 60 ppm, 133 ppm and 68 ppm, and those in ash-poor soils are 19 ppm, 70 ppm, 38 ppm, 91 ppm and 97 ppm. But these metal elements are highly concentrated in magnetic fractions of EPA (Co, 129 ppm; Cr, 217 ppm; Cu, 210 ppm; V, 197 ppm; Zn 90 ppm). Considering the process of long-term weathering of PFA, potentially toxic substances from the ash could be leached into soils and groundwater.
