This study is proposing a System Dynamics Model for estimating Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission from treating Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in South Korea for years 2000 to 2030. The government of country decided to decrease the total GHG emission from waste sector in 2030 as per Business-as-usual level. In context, four scenarios are generated to predict GHG emission from treating the MSW with three processes i.e., landfill, incineration and recycling. For prior step, MSW generation rate is projected for present and future case using population and waste generation per capita data. It is found that population and total MSW are directly correlated. The total population will increase to 56.27 million and total MSW will be 21.59 million tons in 2030. The methods for estimating GHG emission from landfill, incineration and recycling are adopted from IPCC, 2006 guidelines. The study indicates that Scenario 2 is best to adopt for decreasing the total GHG emission in future where recycling waste is increased to 75% and landfill waste is decreased to 7.6%. Lastly, it is concluded that choosing proper method for treating the MSW in country can result into savings of GHG emission.

본 연구에서는 고상 미세추출법(HS-SPME)을 적용하여 대기환경시료 중 VOCs 분석을 위한 응용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 광범위한 VOCs 검출을 위한 최적 HS-SPME 분석 조건(CAR/PDMS fiber, 30분 시료노출, 도출된 분석조건)에서 VOCs의 검출 한계 농도는 저분자량 화합물인 경우 1~3 ppbv 내외였고, BTEXs 계열 화합물들의 경우에는 0.0005 ppbv 이하의 매우 낮은 농도까지 검출 가능하였다. 다만 fiber들 간의 흡착효율 재현성 평가결과, 동일 fiber에 대하여 1~9.2% (n = 3), 서로 다른 fiber들에 대하여서는 5.9~13.5% (n = 5)의 오차를 보였다. 도출된 분석조건을 이용하여 매립지 가스 중 BTEX를 포함한 35여종의 VOCs를 성공적으로 정량분석하였다.

Genenrally, biogas contained methane contents of $40-75\%$, was made in anaerobic compost facilities, landfill site, etc. And it is very useful for gas engine as a fuel. So, many imported biogas engines for electrical generation, are installed and operating now at landfill sites and anaerobic compost facilites. And KIMM has studied on and developed biogas engines with the aids of engine maker and parts companies for several years. Some results are shown here.

The most general treatment method of municipal solid waste is a landfill. The LFG (landfill gas) migration is a serious problem in environmental aspect. The object of this study is to present the possibility of LFG utilization as a replacement or supplementary fuel for local energy -demand. We have developed the EXCEL program for the economic analysis.

Fundamental combustion characteristics, such as the combustion potential, burning velocity and flame stability, for the practical utilization of LFG(Landfill gas) and LFG-blended fuels were experimentally investigated. The combustion potentials(CP) of LFG-blended fuels calculated from the previously suggested formulae were compared with burning velocities obtained by present experiments. The results showed that the previous formulae fur CP of LFG-blended fuels were not agreed with the experimental burning velocity, and these formulae should be revised. To provide an useful information needed to design the combustion devices, a triangular diagram was suggested for the maximum burning velocity of the mixture of CH$_4$, LPG and LFG. From the investigation of the burning velocity and the flame stability in a practical combustor, it was noted that the LFG-blended fuels, of which heating values or Wobbe indices were adjusted to that of natural gas, could be used as an alternative fuel of natural gas.

The purpose of this study is to investigate selective adsorption of $CO_2$ from LFG (Landfill gas) by using commercialized NaX-type zeolite adsorbent under the ambient temperature and pressure. The experiment of $CO_2$ adsorption was carried out by using simulated LFG. The $CO_2$ adsorption capacity and separation efficiency of NaX-type adsorbent were investigated by analyzing gas flow rate and gas composition at inlet and outlet of the adsorption reactor. The adsorbed $CO_2$ were desorbed under decompression condition which 0.5 Torr or by air purge. Through the result to use simulated LFG, when the method of VSA was used, 73.2~75.3 mg of $CO_2$ was adsorbed per 1 g commercial adsorbent, when the method of air purge was used, 78.4~83.2 mg of $CO_2$ was adsorbed per 1 g of commercial adsorbent.

본 연구에서는 중형 규모의 매립장지역을 중심으로 환경대기 및 배출가스 중의 VOC농도를 관측하였다. 특히 배출가스에 대해 15가지 VOC성분을 GC-PID방식으로 분석하고, 이를 이용하여 15가지 성분의 탄소성분의 조성에 미치는 기여도를 평가하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 의하면, 배출가스 중의 VOC는 수 십 ppm 수준으로 일반 대기 중의 농도와 1천배 가까운 차이를 보여주었다. 따라서 배출가스와 환경대기 중의 VOC 농도에는 상당한 수준의 차이가 존재하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이를 자료를 이용하여, 배출량을 산정한 결과 15가지 VOC성분과 전체 비메탄계 탄화수소 (NMHC)의 배출량은 연간 8.6과 103 ton으로 계산되었다. 특히 이들 15개 VOC성분 중에서 BTEX의 기여도가 절대적으로 중요하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Bio energy development by using Low Calorific Gas Turbine(LCGT) has been developed for New & Renewable energy source for next generation power system, low fuel and operating cost method by using the renewable energy source in landfill gas (LFG), Food Waste, water waste and Livestock biogas. Low calorific fuel purification by pretreatment system and carbon dioxide fixation by green house system are very important design target for evaluate optimum applications for bio energy. Main problems and accidents of Low Calorific Gas Turbine system was derived from bio fuel condition such as hydro sulfide concentration, siloxane level, moisture concentration and so on. Even if the quality of the bio fuel is not better than natural gas, LCGT system has the various fuel range and environmental friendly power system. The mechanical characterisitics of LCGT system is a high total efficiency (>70%), wide range of output power (30kW - 30MW class) and very clean emmission from power system (low NOx). Also, we can use co-generation system. A green house designed for four different carbon dioxide concentration from ambient air to 2000 ppm by utilizing the exhaust gas and hot water from LCGT system. We look forward to contribute the policy for Renewable Portfolio Standards(RPS) by using LCGT power system.
