막 분리 운전방식에 따른 음폐수 소화가스의 도시가스용 바이오메탄 생산연구를 상업용 시설을 대상으로 수행하였다. 연구결과 바이오메탄의 순도는 4SBR과 3SDR 모두 98.9%를 달성할 수 있었다. 소화가스 내 메탄 회수율은 4SBR 88.1%, 3SDR 79.4%이었고, 처리 소화가스량 대비 바이오메탄 생산율도 4SBR이 53.5%로 3SDR의 49.4%보다 높았다. 그러나 막 분리시설에 공급되는 가스 중 반송가스의 비율은 4SBR이 56.5%로 3SDR 보다 두 배가량 컸으며, 이로 인해 최대 처리량에 있어서는 3SDR이 양호한 결과를 보였다. 따라서 소화가스 200 N㎥/day 이하는 4SBR, 240 N㎥/day 이상에서는 3SDR이 경제성이 좋은 것으로 판단되었다. 공정 운전변수들의 평균값 대비 운전 값들의 상대편차는 전반적으로 4SBR이 컸으며, 또한 주 운전조절 수단인 바이오메탄 인출압력 대비 주요 지표들의 상관관계에 있어서는 3SDR가 보다 직접적인 관계를 보여주었다.

The emission characteristics of mercury in waste incinerators were investigated to get basic data for the policy development on the emission reduction of mercury (Hg). For the study several important factors were analysed from 4 incinerators such as mercury concentration, emission factors and removal rate for control devices. The results are listed below. Mercury concentrations in the flue gas were 0.39～5.96 $\mu\textrm{g}$/S㎥ in MWI and 2.5～8.8 $\mu\textrm{g}$/S㎥ in IWI. The distributions of gaseous and particulate mercury in flue gas were above 99% and below 1 %, respectively. Therefore, in order to remove mercury effectively, it is important to control the gaseous mercury. Mercury concentrations in fly ash collected from control device were found as 16.2～35.6 mg/kg- ash in FF of MWI. Also mercury concentrations at the front and back point of control device of MWI were 33.45～62.65 $\mu\textrm{g}$/S㎥ and 0.88～3.49 $\mu\textrm{g}$/S㎥, respectively. Emission factors were estimated as 3.67～11.67 mg/ton in FF, 2.6～24.5 mg/ton in MWI with SNCR, SDR and FF, 54.9～192.7 mg/ton in IWI with Cyclone and FF. Emissions from Municipal Waste Incinerator were found both in minimum and maximum ranges. Annual mercury emissions emitted from MWI was estimated as 20.0 kg (6.0～33.9 kg).

Cold start driving cycles exhibit an increases in friction losses due to the low temperatures of metal components and media compared to the normal operating engine conditions. These friction losses are adversely affected to fuel economy. Therefore, in recent years, various techniques for the improvement of fuel economy at cold start driving cycles have been introduced. The main techniques are the upward control of coolant temperature and the fast warm-up techniques. In particular, the fast warm-up techniques are implemented with the coolant flow-controlled water pump and the WHRS (waste heat recovery system). This paper deals with an effect of fast ATF (automatic transmission fluid) warm-up on fuel economy using a recovery system of EGR gas waste heat in a diesel engine. On a conventional diesel engine, two ATF coolers have been connected in series, i.e., an air-cooled ATF cooler is placed in front of the condenser of air conditioning system and a water-cooled one is embedded into the radiator header. However, the new system consists of only a water-cooled heat exchanger that has been changed into the integrated structure with an EGR cooler to have the engine coolant directly from the EGR cooler. The ATF cooler becomes the ATF warmer and cooler, i.e., it plays a role of an ATF warmer if the temperature of ATF is lower than that of coolant, and plays a role of an ATF cooler otherwise. Chassis dynamometer experiments demonstrated the fuel economy improvement of over 2.5% with rapid increase in the ATF temperature.

This research assessed the surface properties of modified activated carbons with three different acids and five different metals for ammonia gas removal. Raw bituminous coal-based activated carbon ($4{\times}8$ mesh) had low adsorption capacity of 0.72 mg $NH_3/g$ based on the analysis in the column adsorption experiment. Adsorption capacities of carbons modified with $CH_3COOH$, $H_3PO_4$, and $H_2SO_4$ increased up to 3.34, 21.00, and 35.21 mg $NH_3/g$, respectively. Those of carbons with Cu, Zn, Zr, Fe, and Sn were 9.63, 9.13, 7.09, 25.12 and 15.03 mg $NH_3/g$. Ammonia adsorption was enhanced by the presence of surface oxygen groups on carbon materials, which influenced pH of carbon surface. BET surface area of raw carbon was analyzed to be $1087m^2/g$, but it decreased by carbon surface modification. Fe-impregnated carbon showed $503.02m^2/g$ of surface area. These observations were mostly caused by chemical adsorption.

Percolation is the important process of extracting the soluble constituents of a fine mesh, porous substance by passage of a liquid through it. In this study, bio-wastes were percolated under various conditions through continuous percolation processes, and the energy potential of percolate was evaluated. The representative bio-wastes from the K composting plant in Darmstadt, Germany were used as the sample for percolation. The central objective of this study was to determine the optimal amount of process water and the optimum duration of percolation through the bio-wastes. For economic reasons, the retention time of the percolation medium should be as long as necessary and as short as possible. For the percolation of the bio-wastes, the optimal percolation time was 2 hr and maximum percolation time was 4 hr. After 2 hr, more than two-thirds of the organic substances from the input material were percolated. In the first percolation process, the highest yields of organic substance were achieved. The best percolation of the bio-wastes was achieved when the process water of 2 L for the first percolation procedure and then the process water of 1.5 L for each further percolation procedure for a total 8 L for all five procedures were used on 1,000 g fresh bio-waste. The gas formation potentials of 0.83 and $0.96Nm^3/ton$ fresh matter (FM) were obtained based on the percolate from 1 hr percolation of 1,000 g bio-waste with the process water of 2 L according to the measurement of the gas formation in 21 days (GB21). This method can potentially contribute to reducing fossil fuel consumption and thus combating climate change.

본 연구는 경제성장과 환경개선 효과를 실증적으로 분석하기 위해 OECD 국가의 이산화황 배출량과 온실가스 배출량, 폐기물 배출량에 대해 환경쿠즈네츠 곡선이 존재하는가를 확인하였다. 패널분석결과, 환경오염물질에 따라 환경쿠즈네츠 곡선의 형태는 다르게 나타났다. 이산화황 배출량은 상대적으로 경제성장의 초기에 정점이 나타나 대부분의 국가가 정점을 지난 역U자형 곡선이 나타나는 반면 온실가스 배출량은 정점을 지나 감소하는 단계이다. 이때 제조업 비중은 온실가스 배출량을 증가시키며, 인구밀도와 연구개발은 배출량을 유의미하게 감소시키는 것으로 분석되었다. 한편, 폐기물에 대해서는 정점을 확인할 수 있는 환경쿠즈네츠 곡선이 존재하지 않았다. 분석대상인 환경오염물질은 각각 오염처리기술, 생산공정 전환, 소비구조 전환에 따라 환경개선 효과가 발생할 수 있는 사례를 대표한다고 보았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 경제성장과 소득수준 향상이 있더라도 모든 환경오염물질에 대한 자발적인 배출량 감소는 기대하기 어려우며 정점이 지나기 위해서는 추가적인 지구 공동의 노력이 필요하다는 것을 확인하였다. 특히 폐기물은 소득수준보다 인구밀도와 산업구조의 영향이 더 크기 때문에 배출량을 줄이고 자원순환경제를 만들기 위해서는 추가적인 정책적 노력이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

This study investigated the effect of water retention characteristics between aged and fresh Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) on the stability of the landfill. A series of transient numerical modeling for the slope of an MSW landfill was performed considering the variation of water retention characteristics due to leachate circulation. Four different scenarios were considered in this analysis depending on how to obtain hydraulic conductivity and the aging degree of materials. Unsaturated hydraulic properties of the MSW used for the modeling were evaluated through modified hanging column tests. Different water retention properties and various landfill conditions, such as subgrade stiffness, leachate injection frequency, and gas and leachate collection system, were considered to investigate the pore water distribution and slope stability. The stability analyses related to the factor of safety showed that unsaturated properties under those varied conditions significantly impacted the slope stability, where the factor of safety decreased, ranging between 9.4 and 22%. The aged materials resulted in a higher factor of safety than fresh materials; however, after 1000 days, the factor of safety decreased by around 10.6% due to pore pressure buildup. The analysis results indicated that using fresh materials yielded higher factor of safety values. The landfill subgrade was found to have a significant impact on the factor of safety, which resulted in an average of 34% lower factor of safety in soft subgrades. The results also revealed that a failed leachate collection system (e.g., clogging) could result in landfill failure (factor of safety < 1) after around 298 days, while the leachate recirculation frequency has no critical impact on stability. In addition, the accumulation of gas pressure within the waste body resulted in factor of safety reductions as high as 24%. It is essential to consider factors related to the unsaturated hydraulic properties in designing a landfill to prevent landfill instability.
