In this study, the characteristics of emulsified fuel and engine emissions were studied with engine dynamometer. Microexplosion took place in the combustion chamber. While combustion, emulsion fuel scattered to micro particles and it caused to smoke reduction. The heat produced from water vapour reduce the temperature of internal combustion chamber and it caused to inhibition of NOx production. It can be verified by the lower exhaust temperature of each ND-13 mode using emulsion fuel than that of MDO fuel. The NOx and smoke concentration were reduced by increasing water content in emulsion fuel. The power also decreased according to the increment of water content of emulsion fuel because emulsion fuel has low calorific value due to high water content than MDO. As a result of ND-13 mode test with 17% moisture content, it was achieved 24% reduction in NOx production, 76% reduction in smoke density, 11% reduction of $SO_2$ and 13% reduction in power loss.

To verify the utilization of biomass as energy, the combustion characteristic has been studied by an experimental combustion furnace under an isothermal and non-isothermal combustion. The wood pellet, rice straw and rice husk were used as biomass samples in this work. The characteristics of emission gases, dusts and residues from biomass combustion have been analyzed and compared with those of reuse derived fuel (RDF). From isothermal combustion experiments, it was found that the incomplete combustion of rice straw was greater that that of rice husk, wood pellet and RDF. This is due to the fact that the combustion reaction rate of the rice straw was faster than that of other samples, and the oxygen concentration in rice straw combustion was rapidly decreasing. It was also found that $NO_{X}$ concentration of emission gas from wood pellet combustion was the lowest. From non-isothermal combustion experiments, it was found that all samples were burned before $900^{\circ}C$. Also, the temperature range of $NO_{X}$ emission was similar to that of CO emission, on the other hand, $SO_{2}$ was emitted at a higher temperature than that of CO emission.

산업분야의 여러공정에서 배출되는 휘발성 유기화합물은 1차적인 작업자에 대한 유해성뿐만이 아니라 대기중에 배출시의 제 2차 오염물질의 생성 때문에 최근 들어 이러한 물질의 처리에 큰 관심이 집중되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 휘발성 유기화합물로서 프로판을 사용하여 이러한 초 희박 혼합기의 제거를 위해 재생열산화법이 제안되었다. 실험장치에는 중앙에 연소실과 전기적 열량공급장치를 장착하였다. 초 희박 혼합기의 연소실에서의 산화과정과 열사화 장치의 폐열회수 특성을 연구하기 위하여 혼합기의 농도, 유속 및 연소실 최대온도와 같은 다양한 작동조건을 고려하였다. 그 결과. 재생열산화장치가 초 희박 혼합기의 산화에 적절하게 사용될 수 있음을 알았으며 최대 96%의 제거효율 얻을 수 있었다. 산화과정중에 발생하여 배출되는 CO는 운전조건을 변화시킴으로써 그 농도를 낮출 수 있었으며 열적 NOx는 배출되지 않았다. 페열회수효율은 전 운전영역에서 높게 나타났으며 그 값이 최대 98%에 이르렀다.

지구 대기 중 온실가스 농도와 지구의 지표 온도가 매년 증가하고 있으며 21세기에는 기후변화의 가속도가 훨씬 심해질 것으로 전망되고 있다. 산업혁명 이후부터 급격하게 늘어난 온실가스의 영향으로 기후변화가 일어나고 있다는 것은 새삼스러운 이슈가 아니며, 어느 한 지역에 그치는 것이 아니라 지구환경적 문제이기 때문에 모든 국가의 공동 대책 수립이 불가피하다는 논의가 진행된 지 오래다. 지난 1992년 브라질에서 열린 '리우환경회의'에서 본격적으로 지구온난화 방안을 논의한 이래, 1997년 일본에서 '교토의정서' 채택에 관한 회의가 열렸으며, 매년 협약이행 당사국 총회를 개최해 오고 있다. 범지구적 구속력을 갖는 '교토의정서'의 탄소배출 협의내용은 2012년까지 효력을 갖는데 우리나라는 의무대상국이 아니었지만 앞으로 열릴 회의를 통해 어떤 형태로든 의무감축 대상국이 될 공산이 크다. 우리나라도 국회에 계류 중인 '녹색성장기본법'이 통과되면 탄소감축이 본격적으로 시행될 예정이며 현재 시범실시중인 탄소배출권 거래제도 구체화될 계획이다. 이번호에서는 국제 탄소배출권 논의에 대한 전반적인 사항과 이와 관련한 우리나라 정책 및 현황 등을 점검해보고 기업 및 가정에서 실행할 수 있는 대책 등에 대해 알아본다.

This study was conducted to investigate the characteristic factors which have been influenced on nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) emissions related to the environment change of nitrogen application level, rainfall and temperature during the soybean cultivation at black volcanic ash soil from 2010 to 2011. During the soybean cultivation, the more amount of nitrogen fertilizer applied, $N_2O$ emissions amounts were released much. $N_2O$ emissions with the cultivation time were released much at the first and middle of cultivation with heavy rainfall, but it was released very low until the end of cultivation and drought season. $N_2O$ emissions mainly were influenced by the rainfall and soil water content. The correlation ($r$) with $N_2O$ emissions, soil water, soil temperature and soil EC in 2010 were very significant at $0.4591^{**}$, $0.6312^{**}$ and $0.3691^{**}$ respectively. In 2011, soil water was very significant at $0.4821^{**}$, but soil temperature and soil EC were not significant at 0.1646 and 0.1543 respectively. Also, $NO_3$-N and soil nitrogen ($NO_3-N+NO_4-N$) were very significant at $0.6902^{**}$ and $0.6277^*$ respectively, but $NO_4$-N was not significant at 0.1775. During the soybean cultivation, the average emissions factor of 2 years released by the nitrogen fertilizer application was presumed to be 0.0202 ($N_2O$-N kg $N^{-1}\;kg^{-1}$). This factor was higher about 2.8 and 2 times than the Japan's (0.0073 $N_2O$-N kg $N^{-1}\;kg^{-1}$) value and 2006 IPCC guideline default value (0.0100 $N_2O$-N kg $N^{-1}\;kg^{-1}$) respectively.

Monitoring systems of informations for ship performance have become important gradually for economical management of existing ship. Monitoring of NOx emission from marine diesel engines is one of them. The measurement of NOx emission, however has been many difficulties due to technical and costly problems. A monitoring by prediction method of NOx on-board ship according to sailing condition of ship could be an useful method. In this paper, it is discussed about modified method of one-zone model which has been utilized usually for analyzing the combustion process. The modified method is able to calculate the temperature of burned region from the result by one-zone model. Influences which excess air ratio during combustion process affected for the gas temperature and NOx emission were investigated. From the results variation of excess air ratio during combustion process could be estimated inversely through the comparison with measurement of NOx emission.

Despite the increasingly stringent automotive emissions regulations, the impact of vehicle emissions on air pollution remains large. In addition, since the issue of emission of more exhaust gas than the exhaust gas measured in the test room when the vehicle passing the exhaust gas regulation standard is run on the actual road, many countries studied and introduced gas regulations about Real Driving Emission using Portable Emission Measurement System. At present, Korea regulations restrict the number of NOx and PN in diesel vehicles. In the case of gasoline vehicles, there is no regulation on emission gas, but there is a problem of continuing automobile exhaust gas problems and a large amount of gasoline GDI vehicle's PN emission. So research and interest are increasing due to this problem. In this study, characteristics of exhaust gas depending on changes of ambient temperature were analyzed among various factors affecting exhaust gas measurement of gasoline vehicles. As a result, at the low temperature test, the lower the ambient temperature, the more the exhaust gas was emitted. At ordinary temperature test, no specific tendency was observed due to changes of ambient temperature.

This study was conducted to investigate methane emission among rice ecotypes in paddy soil (Jeonbug series). The varieties of rice involved early maturing short-grain variety, Samcheonbyeo, middle maturing variety, Hawsungbyeo and late maturing variety, Dongjinbyeo. The seasonal change of methane flux was high from ear formation stage to heading stage. It was found that the methane flux was tended to be lower in early maturing variety than in the mid-to-late maturing variety. The plots without rice straw reduced methane emission as much as 46% relative to rice straw application. The methane emission rate through rice stem was highly correlated with temperature fluctuation. Methane emission on ecotypes by rice straw application was 0.394 g $m^{-2}day^{-1}$ in early maturing variety (Samcheonbyeo), 0.407 g $m^{-2}day^{-1}$ in mid maturing variety(Hawsungbyeo), 0.411 g $m^{-2}day^{-1}$ in late maturing variety(Dongjinbyeo).

During the SI engine starting up, starting conditions directly contribute to the unburned hydrocarbon emissions in spark ignition engines. The effects of catalyst temperatures and fuel injection skip methods on HC emissions were investigated. The test was conducted on a 1.5 L, 4-cylinder, 16 valve, multipoint-port-fuel-injection gasoline engine. To understand the formation of HC emissions, HC concentration was measured in an exhaust port using a Fast Response Flame ionization Detector (FRFID). The result showed that HC emissions, which were emitted at the cold coolant and catalyst temperature, were generated much higher than those of hot coolant and catalyst temperatures. In additions, fuel injection skips reduced highly HC emissions. It is convinced that optimized fuel injection skip method according to coolant and catalyst temperatures could be applied to reduce HC emissions during the SI engine starts.
