This pilot study focuses on emissions characterization of air pollutants produced from incineration of some municipal solid wastes (MSWs). The MSWs incinerated by an electric furnace maintained up to $600^{\circ}C$ included food, paper, and plastic wastes. The pollutants analyzed in this study included concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), bottom ash contents, and heavy metals extracted from the bottom ash of each waste. The VOCs identified were classified based on their chemical structure. The total emissions of VOCs produced from incineration of the papers were identified as the highest followed by those from the plastics and the food wastes. Aliphatic alkenes were major VOC compounds produced from incineration of plastic or food wastes, while furans were major VOCs produced from incineration of papers. The second major VOCs produced from incineration of food, plastics, and papers were aromatics. In particular, hazardous air pollutants such as benzene were produced with considerable amount of emission concentration. The bottom ash contents of papers were usually much higher than those of food or plastic wastes. The bottom ash contents produced from incineration of food and plastics were much lower than those of other MSWs. In analysis of heavy metals extracted by an ultrasonic method from the bottom ashes of the papers, high concentrations of heavy metals were identified from incineration of newspapers and box (cardboard). In addition, it was identified that the general public might be exposed to considerable amounts of lead concentrations during incineration processes and uses of paper cup and from ashes.

본 연구에서는 도시고형폐기물을 구성하는 주요한 성분중의 하나인 셀룰로오스와 플라스틱의 열분해 특성을 열중량시스템에서 조사하였다. 실험은 온도범위 400~900K에서 제 실험변수에 따라 질소분위기에서 수행하였으며, 압축한 도시고형폐기물에 적용하기 위한 수정 Arrhenius 열분해 모델을 제안하였다. 승온속도를 20, 30, 40K/min로 변화시키면서 수행한 실험에서, 도시고형폐기물을 구성하는 순수물질의 활성화에너지는 셀룰로오스계열의 경우 117~166kJ/mol, 플라스틱계열은 187~239kJ/mol이며, 반응차수는 1.1~1.9의 범위에 있었다. 압축한 도시고형폐기물은 승온속도, 압축비, 입경의 증가에 따라 char의 수율이 증가하였다. 또한 압축도시고형폐기물의 열분해 과정을 Arrhemius식과 열전달이론을 이용하여 수정 제안한 모델의 적용 결과 기존의 모델보다 실험결과와 더 잘 일치하였다.

This research was performed to investigate the generation and physico-chemical characteristics of municipal solid wastes in the east coast of gangwon. The results were as follows: i) The generation rate of G city and Y gun were 0.187-0.384 $\cal{kg/cap/d}$ and 0.136-0.259 $\cal{kg/cap/d}$. Apparent density of G city and Y gun were 137.9-191.9 g/L and 157.3-238.3 g/L, respectively. ii) The wastes consisted of $76.1-97.5\%$ of combustibles and $2.5-23.9\%$ of incombustibles in G city. And the wastes consisted of $73.7-98.6\%$ of combustibles and $1.4-26.3\%$ of incombustibles in Y gun. Most of municipal solid wastes are composed of food, paper, and vinyl-plastics waste. Water content of commercial area, agricultural resident, detached resident, apartment area, school zone were 42.5-45.9, 37.6-43.4, 32.4-38.4, 29.3-32.3, $6.8-26.9\%$, respectively. iii) The low heating value of G city and Y gun were 1,125.5-2,540.7 $\cal{kcal/kg}$, 1,104.4-2,062.3 $\cal{kcal/kg}$, and school and apartment area were higher than commercial area.

This study was conducted to provide the basic information to know reasonable method f3r the removal and treatment of municipal solid wastes(MSWs). MSWs four different sources(apartment residence, commerce, office/industry) in Daegu city were collected, and bulk density, physical composition, moisture, combustible, ash, elements and heating values were investigated. The values of bulk density were at range of 0.30∼0.41ton/m$^3$. The percentages of foods, papers, vinyls/plastics, textiles, rubbers/leathers, metals and glasses/ceramics of wet muncipal solid wastes from three sources except office/industry were at range of 27.3∼46.4%, 21.2∼38.4%, 10.3∼11.9%, 3.8∼5.2%, 0.5∼1.7%, 6.9∼8.7% and 1.9∼2.6% respectively. The percentages of papers, foods, vinyls/plastics, textiles, rubbers/leathers, metals and glasses/ceramics of dry muncipal solid wastes from three sources except office/industry were at range of 21.1∼40.4%, 14.2∼30.1%, 15.2∼17.8%, 4.0∼6.0%, 0.9∼2.8%, 12.2∼14.1% and 3.1∼3.7％ respectively. The moisture contents of foods, woods, textiles and papers in wastes were at range of 65.7∼76.2%, 34.6∼50.0%, 22.2∼44.8 and 30.6∼44.4% respectively. The carbon contents of vinyls/plastics, rubbers/leathers, textiles, woods, papers and foods in wastes were at range of 75.88∼79.87%, 58.24∼70.74%, 45.23∼51.63%, 42.29∼45.58%, 40.19∼48.4% and 25.86∼36.25% respectively.

본 연구는 신재생에너지 활용을 위하여 강원도의 B 지자체를 대상으로 폐기물 발생특성에 따른 매립가스 발생량 및 자원화 가능성에 대하여 연구하였다. B 지자체의 생활폐기물 평균 겉보기 밀도는 144 kg/$m^3$로, 가스 물질 및 연료화 가능성 물질인 가연성 평균 폐기물 조성비는 종이류 36.0 %, 비닐 플라스틱류 21.6 %, 음식물류 19.7 %로 조사되었다. 발열량 분석결과, 고위발열량(습윤) 3,471 $kca{\ell}$/kg, 저위발열량(습윤) 2,941 $kca{\ell}$/kg로 측정되었으며, 특히 음식물류 폐기물의 매립지 직매립이 금지된 후 에는 발열량이 높은 종이류와 비닐 플라스틱의 비율이 증가하여 발열량이 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 매립지에서 발생하는 메탄가스는 2021년(2,505.7 CH4 ton/year)을 정점으로 점차 감소하는 것으로 예측되었는데, 특히 RDF(Refuse Derived Fuel) 제조시설이 설치되면 2013년(1,956.9 CH4 ton/year)을 정점으로 감소되는 것으로 예측되었다. B 지자체의 매립지에서 발생하는 매립가스(Land Fill Gas; LFG) 추정량은 9.92 $m^3$/min 로 예측되어 타 지자체에서 발생하는 매립가스 추정량(10.11 $m^3$/min)과 유사하게 조사되었다.

본 연구는 Mechanical Biological Treatment system(이하 MBT system)에서 선별된 생활폐기물의 에너지회수 가능성을 평가하고자 하였다. 투입 생활폐기물의 성상분석 결과 수도권매립지에 반입되는 폐기물과 성상이 유사하였으며, 함수율은 다소 높은 값을 나타내었다. 도시고형유기성폐기물에 대해 BMP(Biochemical Methane Potential) test를 실시한 결과 60 ~ 80 mL $CH_4/g$-VS의 메탄($CH_4$)가스가 발생하여 문헌 등에서 보고된 메탄발생량에 비해 낮은 값을 나타내었는데 비닐플라스틱류의 비중이 높았기 때문으로 추측된다. 수도권매립지에 설치된 MBT system에서 선별된 유기성폐기물을 각 성분별로 BMP Test를 실시한 결과 음식폐기물 및 종이류에서는 각각 193, 102 mL $CH_4/g$-VS 수준의 메탄이 발생하였으나 비닐, 고무에서는 전혀 발생하지 않았고, 선별이 어려운 others에서는 매우 낮은 30 mL $CH_4/g$-VS 수준의 메탄이 발생하였다. 이로 미루어볼 때 유기성폐기물에서 비닐플라스틱, 고무류의 선별이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
