Gasification is a therm-chemical conversion process to convert various solid fuels into gaseous fuels under limited supply of oxygen in high temperature environment. Considering current availability of biomass resources in this country, the gasification is more attractive than any other technologies in that the process can accept various combustible solid fuels including plastic wastes. Mixed fuels of biomass and polyethylene pellets were used in gasification experiments in this study in order to assess their potential for synthesis gas production. The results showed that higher reaction temperatures were observed in mixed fuel compared to woodchip experiments. In addition, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and methane concentrations were increased in the synthesis gas. Heating values of the synthesis gas were also higher than those from woodchip gasification. There are hundred thousand tons of agricultural plastic wastes generated in Korea every year. Co-gasification of biomass and agricultural plastic waste would provide affordable gaseous fuels in rural society.

교내 식당에서 분리 수거된 음식물류 폐기물에서 재생 에너지인 메탄가스를 생산하기 위해 혐기성 소화시스템에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. 1차 실험에서 침출수 인발/반송도 없고 혼합도 없는, 침출수 인발/반송은 없고 혼합이 있는, 침출수 인발/반송은 있고 혼합이 없는, 그리고 침출수 인발/반송은 있고 혼합이 있는 4개의 혐기성 시스템에서 침출수 인발/반송은 있고 혼합이 없는 시스템에서 가스발생이 가장 많은 것으로 나타났다. 반응조 혼합이 없고 침출수 인발/반송이 수행되는 시스템에서는 침출수의 반응조 내 침출수 유출속도가 빠른 경우에 혐기성 반응이 활발히 일어난 것으로 관찰되었다. 가스수집기 무게가 1kg이고 음식물류 폐기물 C/N비가 10이상이 되는 경우 혐기성 반응조의 가스가 소모되어 가스수집기에 부압이 걸리는 것이 관찰되었는데, 이에 대한 원인을 밝히는 것이 음식물류 폐기물에서 재생에너지를 회수하는데 필수적이다.

This study has been carried out the experiment for the possibility of biogas reforming using waste heat. The source of this waste heat is the exhaust gas from a small-sized gas engine generator. For recovering the waste heat, Two-stage heat exchanger is manufactured. The two-stage heat exchanger is composed of a heat exchanger for the exhaust gas and a heat exchanger for the water. This two-stage heat exchanger is used for reforming the biogas by means of on-site hydrogen production at the small-sized gas engine generator. The two-stage heat exchanger is coupled with the biogas reformer which is a kind of catalytic reformer. To confirm a heat recovery efficiency of the two-stage heat exchanger, temperature differences of inlet and outlet locations are measured. Also, the variations of syngas concentrations with various biogas flow rates are investigated. As a result using manufactured two-stage heat exchanger, the biogas can be reformed from waste heat recovery. This experiment suggests that the exhaust gas heat exchanger is available for reforming the biogas.

This study is a thermal and flow analysis of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) pipe line for 250 kW grade waste gas heat recovery. We attempted to obtain the boundary condition data through the process design of the ORC, which can produce an electric power of 250 kW through the recovery of waste heat. Then, we conducted a simulation by using STAR-CCM+ to verify the model for the pipe line stream of the 250 kW class waste heat recovery system. Based on the results of the thermal and flow analyses of each pipe line applied to the ORC system, we gained the following conclusion. The pressure was relatively increased at the pipe outside the refracted part due to the pipe shape. Moreover, the heat transfer amount of the refrigerant gas line is relatively higher than that of the liquid line.

Waste Thermal Pyrolysis Melting process was proposed and has been studied in order to prevent air pollution by dioxin and fly ash generated from combustion process for disposal of waste. In this study, applicability as the fuel of diffusion burner of synthesis gas formed from Waste Thermal Pyrolysis process was addressed. Results showed that there is no big difference in the flame shape between MNDF and SNDF, and lift off was detected in MIDF but flame is more stable in SIDF which contains hydrogen with high combustion velocity as flow rate in first nozzle is increased. And radiation heat flux in inverse diffusion flame of synthesis gas was found to be more by 1.5 times than that in inverse diffusion flame of methane because of higher mole fraction of $CO_2$ with high emissivity in product gas.

Most of methane gas result from waste matter in landfill, therefore the persons concerned take an increasing interest in management of gases in landfill. Infrared Gas Analyzer was used to measure components of gases, $CH_4,$ $CO_2,$ $O_2,$ through gas exhausted pipe. To measure amount of the gas flow meter(Portable Hot-Line Current Meter) was used and it was set at right angles with direction of the flow. In this research the total amount of methane gas produced in Beck-Suk Landfill was calculated through FOD method suggested by IPCC. This research found that in Chon-An Beck-Suk Landfill anaerobic resolution was made actively and the amount of methane gas produced there was 54.14%, which is higher than common figure, 50%, in other researches. The components of reclaimed waste matter, especially, organic waste matter can have a great effect of the amount of the greenhouse gases produced in landfill. We can expect that the amount of greenhouse gas will decrease from 2005, when it will be prohibited from carrying kitchen refuse and sludge into landfill.

산업단지에서 발생하는 액상폐기물(폐유와 폐유기용제)을 고온반응기에서(온도 $1,250{\sim}1,400^{\circ}C$, 압력 1기압) 연소시키면서 연소 특성, 유해물질 분해정도 및 연소 후 배출가스 특성 등을 살펴보았다. 산소와 폐기물의 질량비($O_2$/waste mass fraction)가 1.53 이하로 줄어들 때 반응기는 산화분위기에서 환원분위기로 전환되었고 연소 후 배출가스는 NOx 배출량이 감소하고 합성가스의 발생비율이 증가하였으며 BTEX류는 99.99%이상 분해되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 제안한 시스템 및 조업조건 하에서 고농도의 액상폐기물(폐유와 폐유기용제)을 처리한 결과 미량 오염물질의 배출농도는 매우 낮은 값을 보여 액상폐기물의 처리에 적합한 것으로 판단되며 또한 연소 후 합성가스도연료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

최근 환경 잔류성 유기오염 물질과 내분비계 장애물질로 지정된 다이옥신은 가장 중요한 환경 물질로 취급되어 인체위해성 평가, 배출 오염원 측정 및 분석 방법, 저감대책, 환경에의 농도 및 영향 평가를 위한 다양한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 폐기물 소각 등 모든 연소과정에서 주로 생성된 후 대기 순환 등을 통하여 환경 중에 확산된 다이옥신 등은 토양에 축적된다. 본 연구에서는 산업 폐기물 소각장 배출 가스, 생활 쓰레기 소각장 배출 가스 및 대기 그리고 토양의 시료로부터 다이옥신의 이성질체 분포에 대한 상관성을 비교하였다. PCDDs와 PCDFs를 OCDD를 기준으로 하여 그 비율에 기초하여 곡선을 작성하여 그 형태로부터 유사성을 비교한 결과 산업 폐기물 소각장 배출 가스와 대기 중에서의 이성질체 분포 곡률과 비율이 거의 일치함을 볼 수 있다. PCDDs와 PCDFs의 결과를 비교하였을 때 서로 유사한 곡률과 비율에 대한 결론을 나타내었으며 따라서 환경 중에 노출되는 다이옥신은 생활 쓰레기 소각장 배출 가스보다는 산업 폐기물 소각장 배출가스에 좀 더 의존적임을 알 수 있었다. 토양 시료의 경우 농약 등 다른 오염원의 가능성 및 자연 분해 정도를 배제할 수는 없지만 곡률의 형태는 배출가스들과 유사함을 보여 토양 오염 또한 소각장 배출 가스들에 기인함을 유추할 수 있었다.

Air pollution problems due to the emission of pollutants from the various industrial facilities become serious issues and lots of air pollution control processes have been developed. To remove the SO$_2$ and NOx emitted from the solid waste incinerator and coal fired power plants, we studied the Ca-based sorbent which was prepared by waste clam and limestone. The objectives of this study were to develop a clam-based sorbent for removal of SO$_2$ and NOx, and to investigate the physicochemical properties of the waste clam sorbent. In order to determine acid gas removal capacity of sorbent, the batch study on SO$_2$ and NOx removal was performed with the Ca-based sorbent in the fixed bed reactor. Results of the research revealed that clam-based sorbent can be used as the iron-manufacturing industry and chemical adsorbents for the removal of acid gases because the lime content of the waste calm was more than 53.92%. From physicochemical analysis and gas reaction experiments, it could be concluded that clam is good sorbent for the removal of SO$_2$ and NOx in waste incinerator and flue gas desulfurization processes.
