The results of this study shows that the combustor temperature ranged from 848.27 to 1,026.80 ℃, averaging about 976.61 ℃, and the NOx concentration increased as the temperature increased. The urea usage ranged from 291.00 to 693.00 kg d^-1, averaging about 542.34 kg d^-1, and the NOx concentration decreased as the urea usage increased. Residence time was about 3.38 to 9.17 s, averaging about 5.22 s, about 2.61 times larger than the 2 s of the design details. This is 1,086 kg h^-1, averaging about 55.71%, compared to the 1,950 kg h^-1 SRF input permission standard. The combustion chamber area is constant, but the residence time is shown to increase with the decrease of exhaust gas. The O₂/CO ratio was 847.05 to 14,877.34, averaging about 3,111.30, and the NOx concentration slightly increased as the O₂/CO ratio increased. As the combustor temperature and O₂/CO ratio increased, the combustion reaction with nitrogen in the air increased and the NOx concentration slightly increased. As the urea usage and residence time increased, the NOx concentration decreased slightly with an increase in reactivity with NOx. The NOx concentration at the stack ranged from 7.88 to 34.02 ppm with an average of 19.92 ppm, and was discharged within the 60 ppm emission limit value. The NOhx emission factor was 1.058 to 1.795 kg ton^-1, averaging about 1.450 kg ton^-1. This value was about 24.87% of the maximum emission factor of 5.830 kg ton^-1 of other solid fuels. Other synthetic resins and industrial wastes were 79.80% and 43.65% compared to 1.817 kg ton^-1 and 3.322 kg ton^-1, respectively. This value was similar to 1.400 kg ton^-1 of RDF in the NIER notice (2005-9), 10.98% compared to the maximum SRF of 13.210 kg ton^-1. Therefore, the NOx emission factor had a large deviation.

Glasshouse heating package technologies to improve energy usage efficiency in winter were developed. Heating package was composed of the ground water source heat pump with heating capacity of 105kW, the aluminum multi-layer thermal curtain with six layers of different materials and the root zone local heater with XL pipes of ${\phi}20mm$. Venlo type glasshouse($461m^2$) with the heating package was compared with the same type and area control glasshouse with the light oil boiler, the usual non-woven fabric thermal curtain with respect to the glasshouse inside temperature, relative humidity, crop growth, and heating energy consumption. The results of test in paprika cultivation glasshouses showed that the air temperature inside glasshouse with aluminum multi-layer thermal curtain was maintained $2.2^{\circ}C$ higher than that of control glasshouse in un-heating night time and the temperature in bed with root zone local heating was $4.7^{\circ}C$ higher than that in bed without local heating. Average heating coefficient of performance(COP) of the ground water source heat pump used in paprika cultivation was 3.7 and the glasshouse inside temperature was maintained at $21^{\circ}C$ of heating set up temperature. The heating energy consumptions per 10a were measured at 14,071L of light oil and 364kWh of electric power for the control glasshouse and 35,082kWh for the glasshouse applied heating package. As results, the heating cost of the glasshouse applied heating package was 87 percent lower than that of control glasshouse. The growths of paprika in glasshouses of control and applied heating package did not show any significant difference.

전기로를 이용하여 셀렌화한 $CuInSe_2$ (CIS)박막에 대해 연구한 결과를 발표하고자 한다. 화석연료의 과도한 사용으로 지구온난화의 환경문제가 대두되면서 영구적이고 무상의 태양에너지 이용에 대한 필요성이 점차 높아지고 있다. 빛에너지를 전기에너지로 변화시키기 위한 태양전지는 재료에 따라 다양하게 개발되고 있으며 그 중 가장 주목을 받고 있는 것 중의 하나가 $CuInSe_2$을 흡수층으로 하는 CIS 박막 태양전지이다. CIS 박막은 태양전지의 흡수층으로 사용되는데 직접천이형 밴드구조를 가지고 있고, 약 $10^5\;cm^{-1}$의 높은 광흡수계수를 가지고 있어 태양전지의 흡수층으로 적합한 물질로 각광받고 있다. 에너지 밴드갭이 1eV로 실리콘과 유사한 밴드갬을 가지고 있으나 이는 Ga, Al을 In 대신 치환함으로 조절할 할 수 있다. 무엇보다도 유리와 같은 저가의 기판위에 스퍼터와 같은 장치로 대면적 CIS 태양전지를 만들수 있다는 것이 산업적인면에서의 장점으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 $50mm{\times}50mm$ 넓이의 sodalime 유리판을 기판으로 하여 CIS 박막을 제조하고 연구하였다. 스퍼터를 이용하여 유리기판 위에 Mo (Molybdenum) 을 증착하고 그 위에 Cu-In막을 증착하였다. Cu-In/Mo/유리기판 시료는 전기로에 도입되어 셀렌화 처리 하였다. 전기로는 $10^{-1}$ Torr 정도의 진공을 수분간 유지하여 반응할 수 있는 공기(산소)를 제거하였다. 진공 혹은 5N의 고순도 질소를 흘려주며 열을 가하여 셀렌화를 하였다. 전기로에는 1g의 셀레늄(Se)이 Cu-In/Mo/유리기판 시료와 함께 도입되었다. Se이 Cu-In 막과 높은 반응성을 갖도록 Se과 Cu-In 시료는 그라파이드 상자에 함께 넣었고, 그라파이트 상자는 전기로에 넣어 셀렌화하였다. 셀렌화 온도는 $400^{\circ}C{\sim}500^{\circ}C$까지 변화시켜 가며 CIS 박막을 제조하였으며 그 물성도 조사하였다. 물성 조사는 사진, 현미경, SEM, EDX, XRD, Hall effects를 이용하였다. 셀렌화 온도가 $450^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 CIS 박막의 흡착성이 낮아 CIS 박막이 Mo 표면에서 떨어짐을 알 수 있었다. 셀렌화 후 박막에 함유된 Se은 48%~49% 정도있었다. 제조된 CIS 박막시료를 SEM으로 확인한 결과 생성된 CIS/Mo 사이에 계면층이 생겼있음 알 수 있었다. 이러한 계면층은 $MoSe^2$층으로 사료되고, 셀렌화 온도가 높으면 계면층의 두께도 증가되는 경향을 보였다. 셀렌화 온도가 높아질수록 많은 양의 산소가 CIS 박막에 들어가는 것도 알 수 있었다. 학술회의에서 보다 깊은 조사결과를 발표하고자 한다.

Pt-Sn with various ratios was supported on carbon black after pretreatment in an acidic solution by a reduction method. The Pt/Sn ratio was controlled by varying the concentration of each component in the solution, and the influence of the composition on the electrocatalytic activities was investigated. The crystallinity of the synthesized materials was investigated by XRD (X-ray Diffraction), and the oxidation states of both the platinum and tin were determined by XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy). SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy)-EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy) was utilized to examine the morphology and composition of the synthesized electrode, and the particle size of the Pt-Sn was analyzed by TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy). The electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction was evaluated in a 0.5 M $H_2SO_4$ solution using a rotating disk electrode system. The activity and stability were found to be strongly dependent on the electrode composition (Pt/Sn ratio). The catalytic activity and stability for methanol oxidation were also measured using cyclic voltammetry (CV) in a mixture of 0.5 M $H_2SO_4$ and 0.5 M $CH_3OH$ aqueous solution. The addition of proper amount of Sn was found to significantly improve both catalytic activity and stability for methanol oxidation.

셀레늄(Selenium: Se) cracker cell을 이용하여 셀렌화한 $CuInSe_2$ (CIS)박막에 대해 연구한 결과를 발표하고자 한다. 화석연료의 과도한 사용으로 지구온난화라는 환경문제가 대두되면서 영구적이고 무상의 태양에너지 이용에 대한 필요성이 점차 높아지고 있다. 빛에너지를 전기에너지로 변화시키기 위한 태양전지는 재료에 따라 다양하게 개발되고 있으며 그 중 가장 주목을 받고 있는 것 중의 하나가 $CuInSe_2$을 광흡수층으로 하는 CIS 박막 태양전지이다.

CIS는 에너지 밴드갭이 ~1 eV로 실리콘과 유사한 밴드갭을 가지고 있으나 이는 Ga, Al을 In 대신 치환함으로 조절할 할 수 있다. 무엇보다도 sodalime 유리와 같은 저가의 기판위에 스퍼터와 같은 장치로 대면적 CIS 박막태양전지를 만들 수 있다는 것이 산업적인 면에서 장점으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 sodalime 유리기판 위에 스퍼터 방법으로 CIS 박막을 증착하고 Se cracker cell로 셀렌화하여 CIS 박막을 제조하는 것을 조사연구 하였다. 스퍼터를 이용하여 유리기판위에 Mo (Molybdenum)을 증착하고 그 위에 Cu-In-Se박막을 증착하였다. Cu-In-Se/Mo/유리기판 시료는 동일 챔버에서 Se cracker cell을 이용하여 셀렌화 처리 하였다. 물성비교를 위하여 Knudson-cell을 이용한 셀렌화도 시행하였다. Se cracker cell은 고체 Se를 가열하는 부분(R-zone)과 Se flux를 cracking 하는 부분(C-zone)으로 나누어져 있으며 C-zone은 700$^{\circ}C$로 고정하였다. 셀렌화 기판 온도는 425$^{\circ}C$로 고정하였고 Se cracker 온도는 330~375$^{\circ}C$까지 변화시켜 가며 CIS 박막을 제조하였다. 제조된 CIS 박막의 물성 조사는 사진, 현미경, SEM, EDX, XRD, Hall effects를 이용하였다. Se cracker cell로 셀렌화한 CIS 박막은 island 구조를 하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. CIS 박막의 island의 크기와 모양은 셀렌화시 R-zone 온도(Cu-In-Se 박막에 조사되는 셀레늄의 량)에 큰 영향을 받았다. 셀렌화시 셀레늄량이 적을 때는 island가 커지며 불균일해지고 셀레늄량이 많을 때 island가 작고 균일해지는 경향을 SEM을 통해 관찰할 수 있었다. X-ray 회절을 통해 셀레늄량이 적을 경우 CIS 결정이외의 결정이 박막내에 형성됨을 알 수 있었다. 학술회의에서 Se cracker cell을 이용한 셀렌화에 관한 보다 깊은 연구결과를 발표하고자 한다.

From 1 January 2020, the limit for Sulphur in fuel oil used on board ships operating outside designated emission control areas will be reduced to 0.5 %. This regulation by international maritime organization (IMO) is able to significantly reduce the amount of Sulphur oxides (SOx) discharging from ships and should have environmental advantages and health for all over the world. To meet the regulation, in these days, wet scrubber system is being actively developed. However, this process leads to make washing wastewater. In this study, we evaluated ion exchange resin system in accordance with scrubber wastewater discharge regulation by IMO. Theoretical wastewater used as feed solution of lab scale water treatment systems. The results revealed that nitrate ion was removed selectively in spite of high TDS wash wastewater solution depending on ion exchange resin property. Moreover, it was possible to improve efficiency of the system by optimizing operating conditions.

Pt-Bi/C catalysts supported on carbon black with various Pt/Bi ratios were synthesized by a reduction method. Chloroplatinic acid hydrate ($H_2PtCl_6{\cdot}xH_2O$) and bismuth (III) nitrate pentahydrate ($Bi(NO_3)_3{\cdot}5H_2O$) were used as precursors for Pt and Bi, respectively. Before loading metal on carbon, heat treatment and pretreatment of carbon black in an acidic solution was conducted to enhance the degree of dispersion. The physical property of the synthesized catalysts was investigated by X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The XRD pattern of untreated Pt-Bi/C catalyst showed BiPt and $Bi_2Pt$ peaks in addition to Pt peaks. These results imply that Bi atoms were incorporated into the Pt crystal lattice by Pt-Bi alloy formation. The catalytic activity for methanol oxidation was measured using cyclic voltammetry in a mixture of 0.5 M $H_2SO_4$ and 0.5 M $CH_3OH$ aqueous solution. The addition of proper amount of Bi was found to significantly improve catalytic activity for methanol oxidation. The catalytic activity for methanol oxidation was closely related to the stability between electrode and electrolyte. In order to investigate the stability of catalysts, chronoamperometry analysis was carried out in the same solution at 0.6 V.

Recently, around the world, active development of new renewable energy sources including solar power, waves, and fuel cells, etc. has taken place. Particularly, floating offshore wind farms have been developed for saving costs through large scale production, using high-quality wind power and minimizing noise damage in the ocean area. The development of floating wind farms requires an evaluation of the Maritime Safety Audit Scheme under the Maritime Safety Act in Korea. Floating wind farms shall be assessed by applying the line and area concept for systematic development, management and utilization of specified sea water. The development of appropriate evaluation methods and standards is also required. In this study, proper standards for marine traffic surveys and assessments were established and a systemic treatment was studied for assessing marine spatial area. First, a marine traffic data collector using AIS or radar was designed to conduct marine traffic surveys. In addition, assessment methods were proposed such as historical tracks, traffic density and marine traffic pattern analysis applying the line and area concept. Marine traffic density can be evaluated by spatial and temporal means, with an adjusted grid-cell scale. Marine traffic pattern analysis was proposed for assessing ship movement patterns for transit or work in sea areas. Finally, conceptual design of a Marine Traffic and Safety Assessment Solution (MaTSAS) was competed that can be analyzed automatically to collect and assess the marine traffic data. It could be possible to minimize inaccurate estimation due to human errors such as data omission or misprints through automated and systematic collection, analysis and retrieval of marine traffic data. This study could provides reliable assessment results, reflecting the line and area concept, according to sea area usage.

The viability loss or death of weed seeds buried in soil can be induced by infrared irradiation which has good penetration in moist soil. By using this principle of pre-emergence soil-treatment, the study was carried out to obtain basic information needed to develop the effective weed control method for the production of less polluted agricultural products. An apparatus for irradiating infrared was constructed by using ceramic material with high emissivity. The LPG was used as fuel for producing infrared by heating ceramic material. The soil heated in this study was loam with four levels of moisture contents (0.6, 5.7, 10.7, 15.1 % wb). The temperature distribution was measured at various soil depths when soil with different moisture content was irradiated with infrared for three different times (30, 60, 90 sec). The soil depths with duration time of minimum 3 minutes over $80^{\circ}C$, temperature inducing viability loss of weed seeds, were investigated. When the moisture content of soil was 0.6 and 5.7 % wb, the soil depths which can induce viability loss of weed seeds was greatly increased with increasing irradiation time. However, any depths of soil tested in this study was not reached to the temperature of $80^{\circ}C$ when 30 seconds of irradiation time was applied on soil with moisture content of 10.7 or 15.1 % wb. Generally, the soil depth needed for viability loss of weed seeds was decreased with increasing moisture content of soil. Also, longer irradiation time was required to induce viability loss of weed seeds with increasing moisture content of soil.
