To utilize a closed municipal solid waste landfill site in environmentally secure conditions, it is necessary to verify the stabilization level of landfill leachate. To assess leachate stabilization of an open-dumping municipal solid waste landfill (Noeun Landfill) which is located at the upper drainage basin of Namhan River which flows into Lake Paldang utilized for Seoul Metropolitan water supplies, the surrounding characteristics of the landfill site was surveyed. After then, leachate, groundwater and soil samples from this landfill were chemically analyzed, and the analysis results were evaluated by "The Criteria of Landfill Waste Stabilization(CLWS)", "Discharge Criteria of Landfill Leachate", "The Criteria of Domestic Use in Groundwater Quality", and "Soil Contamination Criteria" promulgated by Korean Ministry of Environment. The closed open-dumping landfill was equipped with the final soil cover, 3 groundwater monitoring wells and poor landfill gas extraction devices for the post-closure management of the landfill. BOD/CODcr ratios in leachate were less than or slightly higher than 1/10. This results seemed to imply that the leachate stabilization level of this landfill based on the CLWS was almost completed. Qualities of groundwater sampled from monitoring wells located at outside of landfill were adequate for "The Criteria of Domestic Use in Groundwater Quality". Finally, concentrations of soil contaminants that were likely to be influenced by this landfill site were adequate to "Soil Contamination Criteria".

The objective of this study is to find solid waste decomposition in landfill without leachate discharge. This study was observed variation of landfill gas production rate and leachate for stabilization assessment, and using four sets of lysimeter as experimental apparatus. Soild waste decomposition was accelerated in without leachate discharge system by sufficient moisture for methane bacteria. And gas production rate was between 54.2ℓ/kg VS∼335.9ℓ/kg VS in each lysimeter. Generation time of methane gas was showed different in each lysimeter, but it was much faster than literature research. The time of stabilization phase were began as follows : L-1 400 day, L-2 350 day, L-3 170 day and L-4 70 day respectively. Decreasing times of BOD/COD ratio and C/N ratio were necessary more than literature research because organic matter was not discharge such as wash out.

황화수소는 매립가스와 바이오가스 사용 전에 제거해야 하는 유해한 불순물이다. 본 연구에서는 공기 산화를 활용한 황화수소 저감 방법을 연구하였다. C시 매립장에서 발생하는 매립가스의 유량 조절이 가능한 실규모 황화수소 저감 장치를 운전하였다. 실험 결과, 세정액 내 용존 철 농도는 황화물 산화 효율에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 매립지 발생 침출수 내 철 성분은 매립가스 내 황화수소 제거를 위한 용도로 철킬레이트와 혼용할 수 있었다. 철 농도가 90 mM 이상인 경우 9 초 이내의 접촉 시간에서 83 % 이상의 $H_2S$가 제거되었다. 따라서 촉매 산화 흡착법은 매립가스 및 바이오가스 정제를 위한 용도로서 충분히 가치가 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

MGT fuelled by landfill gas was tested to asses feasibility of its exhaust gas application for $CO_2$ enrichment. The exhaust gas was analyzed during start-up and normal operation with different MGT load conditions. Due to the changes of air/fuel ratio and combustion mode, $O_2$, $CO_2$, CO and NOx concentration were varied within wide ranges during the MGT start-up. Especially, NOx emissioin level was increased up to 20.01 ppmv. Different tendencies of $O_2$, $CO_2$, CO and NOx concentrations were observed with MGT output changes. $O_2$ and CO concentrations were shown to be decreased and NOx and $CO_2$ concentrations were shown to have opposite trends. NOx emission level (0.8~1.88 ppmv) was very low compared to other types of combustion based power generation equipment. Unburned hydrocarbon emission level was substantially decreased with MGT load increase. Especially, $C_2H_4$ concentration was below the detection limit(0.2 ppmv) around the nominal load condition. The exhaust gas from landfill gas fuelled MGT system was shown to be feasible for $CO_2$ fertilization. Concentrations of major components were within or below the maximum allowable ranges.

In this study, the concentrations of reduced S compounds (including hydrogen sulfide (H$_2$S); methyl mercaptan ($CH_3$SH); dimethyl sulfide (($CH_3$)$_2$S); carbon disulfide (CS$_2$); and dimethyl disulfide (($CH_3$)$_2$S$_2$) were determined from landfill gas (LFG) in three municipal landfill sites in the two cities of Gwang Ju (GJ) and Jeju (JJ), Korea. The S gas concentrations measured in these landfill sites were found to be dominated by H$_2$S with its mean concentration of 850 ppm from 10 LFG samples. Both absolute and relative dominance of H$_2$S was seen to be significant in most LFG samples, except those collected from very old and inactive landfills. Unlike the pattern of H$_2$S, other S gases were typically observed at much reduced concentration levels (a few ppm or less) as follows: DMS (3.5); $CH_3$SH (1.3); CS$_2$(1.2); and DMDS (0.02 ppm). If compared equally in mass concentration unit (mg m$^{-3}$ ), H$_2$S generally explained far above 90% of all S gas masses determined concurrently. Moreover, as its mass concentration commonly exceeds those of the major aromatic VOC components in LFG (like benzene and toluene), it appeared to be one of the most dominant gaseous components emitted as LFG in a quantitative sense.

LFG 활용 가능성을 평가하기 위하여 매립 가스 발생량 모델을 적용한 결과 Scholl Canyon 모델이 가장 효과적 인 것으로 나타났다. 종료 매립지의 매립가스 활용을 위하여 자연 발생량 이상의 매립가스의 과도한 추출은 외부 공기의 유입으로 인하여 메탄 농도의 감소 및 산소 농도의 증가를 야기하여 매립가스의 활용을 방해하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 매립가스 추출을 통한 안정화 방법은 비효과적이며, LFG 추출은 모델에 의해서 산정된 LFG 자연발생량 이하로 추출하는 것이 바람직하다. 8년이 경과한 시점에서 종료 매립지의 매립가스를 활용하는 방안은 자연발생량이 급격히 감소하여 매립종료 직후보다 비경제적이나 자연 발생량 이하로 소규모 이용시에는 타당성이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 CDM사업의 온실가스 감축량을 산정하는 기준이 되는 베이스라인 배출량을 도출하는 과정을 3단계로 나누어 살펴보았다. 첫 번째 단계는 여러 가능한 대안 시나리오들 중 가장 가능성이 녹은 베이스라인 시나리오를 선정하는 것이다. 그 다음에는 대상 사업이 선정된 베이스라인에 속하지 않음을 보여줌으로써 추가성을 입증하고 마지막 단계는, 선정된 베이스라인 시나리오하에서의 배출량을 계산하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 세 단계를 통합하여 일련의 흐름도를 작성함으로써 베이스라인 방법론의 적용 절차에 대한 이해를 돕고자 하였다. 사례 연구로서 우리나라에서 진행 중인 매립지 가스 발전사업을 선정하여 정해진 흐름도에 따라 베이스라인 배출량을 계산한 결과 CDM사업으로서의 잠재력이 큼을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 우리나라의 상황에서 이러한 매립지가스 발전사업의 베이스라인 방법론의 적용이 성공적으로 이루어지기 위해서는 자료의 이용가능성과 신뢰성이 선행되어야 함을 발견할 수 있었다.

Next to carbon dioxide, methane is the second largest contributor to global warming among anthropogenic greenhouse gases. Methane is emitted into the atmosphere from both natural and anthropogenic sources. Natural sources include wetlands, termites, wildries, ocean and freshwater. Anthropogenic sources include landfill, natural gas and oil production, and agriculture. These manmade sources account for about 70% of total global methane emissions; and among these, landfill accounts for approximately 10% of total manmade emissions. Solid waste landfills produce methane as bacteria decompose organic wastes under anaerobic conditions. Methane accounts for approximately 45 to 50 percent of landfill gas, while carbon dioxide and small quantities of other gases comprise the remaining to 50 to 55 percent. Using the closed enclosure technique, surface emission fluxes of methane from the selected landfill sites were measured. These data were used to estimate national methane emission rate from domestic landfills. During the three different periods, flux experiments were conducted at the sites from June 30 through December 26, 1999. The chamber technique employed for these experiments was validated in situ. Samples were collected directly by on-site flux chamber and analyzed for the variation of methane concentration by gas chromatography equipped with FID. Surface emission rates of methane were found out to vary with space and time. Significant seasonal variation was observed during the experimental period. Methane emission rates were estimated to be 64.5$\pm$54.5mgCH$_4$/$m^2$/hr from Kimpo landifll site. 357.4$\pm$68.9mgCH$_4$/$m^2$/hr and 8.1$\pm$12.4mgCH$_4$/$m^2$/hr at KwanJu(managed and unmanaged), 472.7$\pm$1056mgCH$_4$/$m^2$/hr at JonJu, and 482.4$\pm$1140 mgCH$_4$/$m^2$/hr at KunSan. These measurement data were used for the extrapolation of national methane emission rate based on 1997 national solid waste data. The results were compared to those derived by theoretical first decay model suggested by IPCC guidelines.

This paper provides a case study of landfill gas (LFG) utilization fer direct use as process fuel, and for electrical power generation at restored landfills in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China (HKSAR). The paper specifically covers the LFG utilization schemes, which are required under landfill restoration contracts at the Shuen Wan and Urban Landfills. These contracts provide for the restoration and aftercare of six landfills, and are administered by the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) of the Hong Kong Government. The LFG utilization scheme at the Shuen Wan Landfill incorporates the direct use of LFG by compressing and dehumidifying the LFG prior to conveyance through a 1.6-kilometer (1-mile) pipeline. The pipeline provides an alternate fuel source to naphtha during process heating for gas production at the Tai Po Gas Production Plant of the Hong Kong and China Gas Limited (HKCC). The LFG utilization scheme at the Jordan Valley Landfill (one of the Urban Landfills) beneficially uses the LFG as fuel for electrical power generation with reciprocating internal combustion engines. The LFG is compressed, cooled, and filtered prior to delivery to two engine/generator sets. This system provides power to operate the leachate pre-treatment plant, which processes leachate from all of the Urban Landfill sites. The case study will examine the technical and non-technical considerations, including harriers, for developing, designing and implementing the LFG utilization projects in Hong Kong. Specific regulatory considerations and external governmental agency approvals are discussed, including the requirement to register as a gas-producing utility. While the paper focuses on LFG utilization applications in Hong Kong, many of the considerations discussed are also applicable to development of LFG utilization in other regions of Asia.

쓰레기매립장에서 복토층을 통하여 대기중에 유출하는 가스를 현장에서 단시간내에 측정이 가능한 밀폐형 chamber법을 제시하였다. 또한, 최종복토층에서의 유출가스 실측치를 모델해석으로 모사하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 1) 시간변화에 따른 chamber내(H=10-30 cm)의 농도 변화는 30분이내로, G.C의 분석시간을 고려하여 5분단위로 분석한다. 2)메탄산화 반응의 영향으로 $CH_4$/$CO_2$비가 복토층 표면근처에서 급격히 변화한다. 3)매립지 표면의 flux가 F =$10^{-5}$mol/($m^2$.s)일 경우에는 메탄산화반응에 의해 가스조성에의 영향이 있으나, F =$10^{-6}$moll($\textrm{m}^2$.s)의 경우에는 복토층내의 메탄가스 농도가 상대적으로 적으므로 메탄산화반응에의 영향이 적다.
