Flue gas control systems for small-scale combustors must be designed to provide highly effective removal of three criteria pollutants (S $O_{2}$, N $O_{x}$ and particulate matter), and must be safe, reliable and small. These requirements make dry, regenerative clean-up process particularly attractive and this paper describes a new concept for integrated pollutant control : a filter comprised of layered, gas permeable membranes that act as an S $O_{2}$ sorbant, a N $O_{x}$ reduction catalyst and a particulate filter. A mixed metal oxide sorbent, Cu-Ce was used as a sorbent/catalyst and the activity was compared with Cu-7Al. The S $O_{2}$ removal eficiency of Cu-Ce was increased with temperature increase up to 500$^{\circ}$C and the catalytic activity for NO was higher than that of Cu-7Al. By the sulfation of Cu-Ce, the reduction activity was increased at the temperature higher than 350$^{\circ}$C. The regeneration of Cu-Ce was very fast and some amount of elemental sulfar was found.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of equivalence ratio on the combustion and emission characteristics of a compression ignition engine fueled with biodiesel. In this research, a single-cylinder direct injection engine with 373.3 cc of displacement volume was tested on DC dynamometer. In order to investigate the effect of biodiesel equivalence ratio on combustion characteristics, the experiments were conducted at various equivalence ratios and injection pressures of 40~120 MPa. For investigating engine performance, lambda meter was connected and equivalence ratios was varied from 0.6 to 1.0. In addition, the exhaust emissions such as oxides of nitrogen($NO_X$), hydrocarbon(HC) and carbon monoxide(CO) were measured by exhaust gas analyzer under the various air/fuel ratios. The experimental results show that maximum IMEP was measured at the 0.8 of equivalence ratio. Furthermore, $NO_X$ emission was rapidly decreased as the increase of equivalence ratio. However soot emission was significantly increased according to the increase of equivalence ratio.

Reburning is a useful technology in reducing nitric oxide through injection of a secondary hydrocarbon fuel. In this paper, an experimental study has been conducted to evaluate the effect of fuel lean reburning on $NO_X/CO$ reduction in LPG flame. Experiments were performed in flames stabilized by a co-flow swirl burner, which was mounted at the bottom of the furnace. Tests were conducted using LPG gas as the reburn fuel as well as the main fuel. The effects of reburn fuel fraction and injection location of the reburn fuel were studied when the fuel lean reburning system was applied. The paper reports data on flue gas emissions and temperature distribution in the furnace for a wide range of experimental conditions. At steady state, temperature distribution and emission formation in the furnace have been measured and compared. This paper makes clear that in order to decrease both NOx and CO concentrations in the exhaust when the fuel lean reburning system was adapted, it is important that the control of some factors such as initial equivalence ratio, reburn fuel fraction and temperature of reburn fuel injection region. Also it shows the fuel lean reburning is also effective method to reduce NOx as much as reburning.

A SCR catalytic filter system is used for reducing $NO_x$ and soot emissions simultaneously from diesel combustors. The amount of ammonia (as a reducing agent) must be controlled with the amount of $NO_x$ to obtain an optimal $NO_x$ conversion. Hence, gas mixing between ammonia and exhaust gases is vital to ensure that the SCR catalyst is optimally used. If ammonia mass distribution is not uniform, slip potential will occur in rich concentration areas. At lean areas, on the other hand, the catalyst is not fully active. The better mixing is indicated by the higher uniformity of ammonia mass distribution which is necessary to be considered in SCR catalytic filter system. The ammonia mass distributions are depended on the flow field of fluids. In this study, the velocity field of gaseous flow is investigated to characterize the transport of ammonia in SCR catalytic filter system. The influence of different injection placements on the ammonia mass distribution is also discussed. The results show that the ammonia mass distribution is more uniform for the injector directed radially perpendicular to the main flow of inlet at the gravitational direction than that at the side wall for both laminar (Re = 640) and turbulent flows (Re = 4255). It is also found that the mixing index decreases as increasing the heating temperature in the case of ammonia injected at the side wall.

The major source of harmful air pollutants in Korea have been shifted as economy grows. Particulate matter(PM) and Sulfur dioxide ($SO_2$) emitted from industries and coal-fired domestic sectors were important pollutants in 1970's and later industrializing period of Korea. Then the characteristic of pollution was changed into so-called "developed country type pollution". Vehicles have been responsible for significant amount of Nitric oxide ($NO_x$) pollution and consequent Ozone formation in urban area since 1990's. Variety of control measures have been introduced to deal with the vehicle emissions in Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA). Emission control technologies have successfully reduced pollutants from vehicles. Three-way catalyst for vehicles fueled by gasoline and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), for example, has achieved large amount of pollutants. Compressed natural gas (CNG) urban bus have penetrated existing diesel bus market and reduces PM and $NO_x$ emissions in many Korean cities. However, diesel vehicles are still reaming as a critical emission source of urban area. Diesel vehicles gain more popularity than ever because of their better fuel efficiency and driving power. Unfortunately, it is widely known that the pollutant emissions of diesel vehicles are much larger than those of gasoline and LPG vehicles. In this note, we briefly introduce the trends of emission control strategies which are accomplished by automotive industries for about last ten years. Emission regulation, cleaner fuel, diesel particulate filter (DPF) and other measures are discussed from technical as well as legislative perspectives.

Hydrogen is evaluated as one of the new energy sources that can overcome the limitations and pollution problems of conventional fossil fuels. Although hydrogen is CO₂-free, attention is required in NO_x emission and flame stability in order to use hydrogen in existing gas fuel system. However, use of electric grids is an unrealistic strategy for decarbonization for residential and commercial heating. Instead, use of H₂ that utilizes city gas grid is suggested as a reasonable alternative in terms of compatibility with existing systems, economic feasibility, and accessibility. In this study, the thermal efficiency and NO_x performance of the boiler according to the H₂ mixture ratio and vapor humidified ratio are reviewed for a humidified NG-H₂ boiler that vapor humidity to combustion air. Mixed fuel with H₂ (20%) is almost similar to NG in terms of efficiency, flame temperature, and pollution performance. Thus, it is expected to be directly compatible with the existing NG system. If the exhaust temperature of the H₂ boiler is lowered to around 60℃ at a humidified ratio of 15-20%, the NO_x emission concentration can be suppressed to about 5-10 ppm. The level of efficiency reaches 87% of the rated load efficiency, which is equivalent to the highest grade achievable.

비이온성 및 이온성 계면활성제를 이용하여 제조한 CGA(cllodial gas aphron)의 안정성을 고찰하였다. 실험에서 이용한 계면활성제는 SDS(Sigma-Aldrich, Co.), Triton X-100, Tween 80, Quillaja Saponin이다. CGA발생장치를 이용하여 단일 성분의 계면활성제 및 혼합 계면활성제에 의한 CGA를 제조하였고, 농도, 온도, 시간에 따른 CGA의 안정성을 조사하였다. 단일 성분 CGA의 경우, Saponin이 143분의 지속시간을 보여 가장 높은 안정성을 나타내었고 Triton X-100, SDS, Tween 80순으로 안정성이 높았다(상온). CGA제조시 계면활성제 용액을 $70^{\circ}C$로 가열한 경우, SDS가 가장 높은 안정성을 보였으며(116분) Saponin은 상온에 비해 안정성이 낮아졌다. (105분). 혼합 계면활성제일 경우, 두 계면활성제의 중간 수준의 안정성을 보였으며, SDS+Saponin 조합이 139분으로 가장 안정성이 컸다. 가열한 혼합 계면활성제에서는 Saponin+Triton X-100 조합이 가장 안정성이 낮아 53분에 불과했다. CGA는 초기 평균 입경이 약 140 ${\mu}m$ 였다가 융합이 일어나면 그 크기가 약 190 ${\mu}m$로 상승하고 이후 붕괴하는 양상을 띠었다. 가열하여 제조한 CGA에서는, Saponin이 포함된 경우 상온에 비해 그 크기가 감소하였으며, 타 계면활성제에서는 일반적으로 그 크기가 증가하였다. 요약하면 CGA는 가열 했을 때 보다는 상온일때, 분자간 상호작용이 크게 작용하는 혼합 계면활성제보다 단일 계면활성제일 경우, CGA 지속시간이 길어져 안정성이 높아졌다.

중국의 급속한 경제성장은 환경에 커다란 부하를 초래하였고, 이를 통해 대기오염 문제도 심각해졌다. 본 연구는 중국의 대기오염 원인을 경험적으로 분석하였다. 표준오차 패널수정 추정기법(PCSE)을 이용하여 중국의 30개 성을 대상으로 아황산가스 및 질소산화물의 배출요인을 분석하였다. 아황산가스의 경우 일인당 실질소득이 증가할수록 배출 수준이 감소하고, 질소산화물은 일인당 실질소득과 역N자형의 관계에 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 소득 이외의 배출 요인으로 우선 전기소비량은 아황산가스나 질소산화물을 증가시키는 요인이었고, 석탄소비량은 아황산가스 배출을 증가시키는 반면에 천연가스 소비량은 아황산가스 배출을 감소시키는 요인으로 나타났다. 한편 에너지 산업에 대한 투자와 폐가스 처리에 대한 투자는 아황산가스 배출을 감소시키는 결정요인이지만 질소산화물 배출에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 디젤 소비량, 트럭 비율 및 차량 수는 질소산화물 배출을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 강수량의 증가도 아황산가스와 질소산화물의 배출을 감소시킨 요인이었다. 끝으로 본 연구의 정책적 시사점과 향후 연구방향을 제시하였다.
