Emission characteristics of air pollutants from three commercially operating cement kilns co-burning waste were investigated. The major heavy metals emitted were mercury (Hg), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and arsenic (As) Removal efficiency of the bag filter was above 98.5% for heavy metals (except Hg), and above 60% for Hg. Higher fractions of heavy metals entering the bag filter were speciated to cement kiln dust. On average, 3.3% of the -heavy metals of medium and low toxicity (Pb, Ni, and Cr) entering the bag filter were released into the atmosphere. Among highly toxic heavy metals, 0.14% of Cd, 0.01% of As, and 40% of Hg entering the bag filter were released into the atmosphere. In passing through the bag filter, the proportion of oxidized Hg in all cases increased. Emission variations of hazardous air pollutants in cement kilns tested were related to raw materials, fuel, waste feed and operating conditions. Volatile organic compounds detected in gas emissions were toluene, acrylonitrile benzene, styrene, 1,3-butadiene, and methylene chloride. Although hazardous air pollutants in emissions from cement kilns co-burning waste were within the existing emission limit, efforts are required to minimize their levels.

Casting defects, which are closely related to entrapped air bubbles and metallic oxides, occur very frequently in the casting process. Many researchers have shown that these defects can be reduced by adopting an appropriate gating system design. But, it is difficult for field engineers to identify a specific gating system that is more appropriate for their products. In this study, we tried to draw a comparison of gating system designs with and without ceramic foam filters. A ceramic foam filter was added to the horizontal runner just after the sprue to prevent air bubble generation and to reduce turbulence without change of the gating system design. To verify the effects of initial pouring velocity, the experiment was conducted with four different amounts of water volume in the reservoir. Results of the water modeling experiment applying the filter showed remarkably changed flow characteristics. Although the study confirmed that use of the filter may change the flow characteristics, it needs to be noted that only filter use alone cannot solve all the problems caused by a poorly designed gating system.

To obtain the experimental data for design and operation of actual filtration processes, a sand filter and three kinds of dual media filters in pilot-plant scale were operated in this study. We analyzed the effect of filter medium composition on the filter performance and the effects of backwash water flow rates, length of stream line and air flow rate on the filter backwash efficiency. We also compared the efficiencies of the combined air-water backwashing and the water backwashing in dual media filters. As the backwash water flow rates or the length of stream line increased, the final turbidity of backwash water was decreased and the filtration duration time after backwash was increased. In the case of the combined air-water backwashing, the backwash water quantity needed for backwashing the dual media filters could be decreased. The total volume of filtered water for the dual media filters during filter run was over three times larger than that for the sand filter. The dual media filters could be operated at a high filtration rate of 360 m/day.

The particulate matters emitted by diesel locomotives cause serious air pollution in stations and railroad. There have been various attempt to reduce the air pollution from diesel bus or trucks. However, the air pollution from the diesel locomotives has been out of control because there has not any adaptable technology. In this study, a diesel particulate filter was developed and applied to the diesel locomotives. A 3,000 horsepower large-scale locomotive and a 1,500 horsepower middle-scale locomotive were used for the test of the filter. The particulate matter emissions before and after the treatment was monitored by a scanning mobility particle sizer and a dust monitor. As a result, it was observed that the particulate matters could be successfully removed from the emission gases by using the filter.

최근 현대인들의 삶이 윤택해질수록 실내공기질 (Indoor Air Qulity)의 개선이 강하게 요구되고 있다. 생물학적 공기 오염원(세균, 진균, 바이러스 등)의 제거를 위해서 UV/광촉매 장치 또는 오존발생장치, 항균물질의 도포와 같은 방법을 사용하고 있다. 추가 에너지 소모 또는 높은 부식성과 독성, 낮은 항균력 등의 단점을 가지고 있으며, 이를 보완하기 위하여 항균력을 가진 구리를 이용하여 필터를 제작하였다. 항균동 필터의 항균력 검증을 위하여 2종의 곰팡이 (P. pinophilum, C. globosum) 와 1종의 균 (S. aureus) 에 대한 항균력을 측정하였고, 부유미생물 제거능력을 챔버 단계부터 건물의 공조시설까지 단계별 시험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 2종의 곰팡이에 대해서는 24시간 후 100% 항균력을 나타내었고, 1종의 균에 대해서는 18시간 후 99.9% 항균력을 나타내었다. 단계별 부유미생물 제거능력에서는 챔버와 공기청정기를 이용한 시험에서 항균헤파필터보다 높은 항균력을 나타내었다. 건물의 공조시설을 이용한 시험에서는 공간이 밀폐되지 않았고 지속적인 가동을 하지 않았지만 설치 후 약 2주 후부터 항균 효과가 나타나는 것으로 확인하였다. 항균동 필터의 항균력 검증 결과 제작 방법 및 소재의 연구가 더욱 필요하지만 항균 필터로써 충분한 항균력을 가진 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문에서는 대기 속도 센서가 없는 항공기에서의 강인 필터 기반의 바람 추정 기법을 제안한다. 바람 속도(wind velocity)는 항공기의 유도 및 제어를 더욱 정밀하게 수행하기 위해 사용되는 정보이다. 일반적으로 바람 속도는, 대기 속도와 지면 속도의 차이를 계산하여 얻을 수 있다. 이때 대기 속도는 피토 튜브와 같은 항공기와 대기의 상대 속도를 측정하는 대기 속도 측정 센서에서 얻을 수 있고, 지면 속도는 항법 시스템으로부터 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 항공기의 구성을 간단하게하기 위하여 대기 속도 측정 센서를 장착하지 않는 경우, 바람 속도를 직접적으로 얻을 수 없기 때문에 필터를 이용한 바람 추정 기법이 필수이다. 이때 난류에 의해 항공기의 공력 계수가 변하게 되는데, 이는 바람 추정 필터의 시스템 모델의 불확실성을 유발하게 되고, 결국 바람 추정 성능이 저하된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 공력계수 불확실성에 강인함을 확보하기 위해 $H{\infty}$ 필터를 적용한 바람 추정 기법을 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 기법이 공력계수의 불확실성이 있는 상황에서 성능을 개선하는 것을 확인하였다.

In recent years, indoor air pollution has become a crucial environmental problem. Hence, the purification of indoor air is an important issue. Typical physical filters show relatively high dust collection efficiency at a dust particle size of more than 5.0 ㎛ but extremely low efficiency at an ultrafine size of less than 2.5 ㎛. In this study, an electric field filter was proposed to capture ultrafine dust with a size of less than 5.0 ㎛. Simulation results showed that the electric field filter effectively removed ultrafine dust. In addition, sufficient dust collection efficiency was obtained even with a simple plate-shaped filter without bending the Chevron filter.

Various antimicrobial technologies have been developed to inactivate bioaerosols in indoor environments. In this study, air filter media were treated with a natural antibacterial agent of Sophora flavescens in order to inactivate the bacteria collected on the air filter. Three treatment methods were applied to manufacture the test antibacterial air filter media: electrospray, nebulization and dip-coating methods. In case of electrospray and nebulization processes, the size distribution of aerosolized natural antibacterial agent was measured using a scanning mobility particle sizer. Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria were aerosolized to test inactivation of the filter media treated with a natural antibacterial agent. The pressure drop and the antibacterial efficiency of the filter media increased with increasing the mass loading of natural antibacterial agent in each treatment method. The antibacterial efficiency per loaded antibacterial agent mass by the electrospray method was the highest and the filter treated by the dip-coating method was the lowest among three treatment methods.

An electret filter is composed of permanently charged electret fibers and is widely used in applications requiring high collection efficiency and low-pressure drop. In this work, the fractional collection efficiency of the filter media used in manufacturing cabin air filters was investigated by using highly monodisperse particles ranging from 0.02 to 0.6 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter at three different charging states: singly charged, uncharged, and equilibrium charged. The face velocity was varied from 2.4 to 20.4 crus. It was fecund that the fractional efficiency curve fur singly charged particles shows a typical trend that the collection efficiency is minimum at about 0.3 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter. The fractional efficiency of equilibrium charged particles were not severely varied with the particle diameter. The collection efficiency curve fur uncharged particles has a minimum near 0.1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter. Another experiment was conducted for a cartridge filter to examine the effect of charge depletion on the collection efficiency in a cabin air filter. The result shows that the charge depletion of the cartridge filter can significantly lower the collection efficiency.
