We examine the processing method of the food wastewater to direct spray at living waste incinerator. The demoscale stoker system is used as a incineration facility. The results show that it brings effect on the reduction of nitrogen oxide ($NO_x$) concentration as well as the ammonia ($NH_3$) amount in SNCR (selective non-catalytic reduction) by the incineration of food wastewater which is containing a plentiful ammoniac nitrogen ($NH_3$-N). Furthermore, the stability of incineration facility and the extension of operation period is actualized as a improvement of clogging phenomenon on outer wall of water pipe as the 870~$950^{\circ}C$ maintain of exit temperature in a second combustor by spray of the food wastewater. The 26 items of air pollution matter of nitrogen oxide ($NO_x$), sulfur oxide ($SO_x$) and dioxin etc. are measured. The results show that it is under the value of allowable exhaust standard.

최근 서울의 일부 지역에서는 오존 주의보에 의한 대기 오염의 수치가 발표되고 있어 이의 심각성이 대두되고 있다. 대기오염의 주범은 자동차이며, 자동차에서 주로 많이 배출되는 질소산화물(NOx)과 탄화수소(HC) 및 디젤자동차에서의 입자상 물질(PM: Particulate Matter)등이 대기환경에 미치는 영향이 크므로 이러한 물질의 저감에 대한 요구가 점차 강화되어가고 있다. 특히, 디젤 엔진이 가솔린 엔진에 비해 대기오염의 주원인이라는 편견이 일반적으로 널리 알려져 있지만, 이는 눈에 보이는 Black smoke에 대한 거부반응이 있다는 점이다. 실제로 디젤 엔진의 유해 배출 성분 중에서 NOx는 가솔린과 비슷한 수준이나 HC와 CO성분은 상당히 적게 배출되고 있다. 또한, 디젤 엔진은 연료 경제성 및 지구 온난화의 원인인 CO$_{2}$ 배출이 적다는 장점이 있으므로 디젤 엔진에서 많이 배출되는 성분으로서 입자상 물질(PM) 및 NOx를 줄이는 방안이 요구되고 있다. 이를 저감시키는 방법은 여러가지가 있으나 분사계 측면에서 전자제어식 고압 연료 분사가 요구되고 있으며 이의 개발 필요성에 대해서 논하기로 한다.

Diesel vehicles should be equipped with urea-selective catalytic reduction(SCR) system as a high-performance catalyst, in order to reduce harmful nitrogen oxide emissions. In this study, a three-dimensional Eulerian-Lagrangian CFD analysis was used to numerically predict the multiphase flow characteristics of the urea-SCR system, coupled with the chemical reactions of the system's transport phenomena. Then, the numerical spray structure was modified by comparing the results with the measured values from spray visualization, such as the injection velocity, penentration length, spray radius, and sauter mean diameter. In addition, the analysis results were verified by comparison with the removal efficiency of the nitrogen oxide emissions during engine and chassis tests, resulting in accuracy of the relative error of less than 5%. Finally, a verified CFD analysis was used to calculate the interanl flow of the urea-SCR system, thereby analyzing the characteristics of pressure drop and velocity increase, and predicting the uniformity index and overdistribution positions of ammonia.

A swirl type mixer was developed to improve the flow mixing performance of a marine selective catalytic reduction system. In this study, the swirl type mixer and a multi-staged swirl type mixer, in which the angle of the vanes at each stage is controllable were considered to provide the optimal region of angles for the mixers. The effects of the vane angles in both mixers on the uniformity index and pressure drop were investigated using a computational fluid dynamics simulation. In the swirl type mixer, the optimal conditions for the flow mixing performance were observed at vane angles from 30 to 60 degrees when vane angles could be adjusted between 10 to 80 degrees, however, the pressure drop increased continually with increasing vane angle of the mixer. On the other hand, control of the individual staged angles of the multi-staged mixer showed that it is possible to keep enhancing flow mixing performance while reducing the pressure drop.

In order to meet the stricter emission regulations, the proportion of after-treatments for vehicles and vessels has been increasing gradually. The objective of this study is to investigate the physicochemical properties according to ash cleaning agents of CDPF for Diesel Engines. Penetrating agents with strong penetration into ash and a surfactant component to mix water and oil were prepared properly. The cleaning characteristics of S1 sample were good. Washcoat loss rate of S1 sample was lower by about 2.2% because of less KOH component and lower Na2SiO3 content. Washcoat loss rate of S4 sample with an added KOH and Na2SiO3 components by penetration agents was increased by about 13%. In terms of less than about 13% of CDPF's washcoat loss rate, it was able to reduce the harmful gas components.

Research on exhaust aftertreatment devices to reduce air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions is being actively conducted. However, in the case of the particulate matters/nitrogen oxides (PM/NOx) simultaneous reduction device for ships, the problem of back pressure on the diesel engine and replacement of the filter carrier is occurring. In this study, for the optimal design of the integrated device that can simultaneously reduce PM/NOx, an appropriate standard was presented by studying the flow inside the device and change in back pressure through the inlet/outlet pressure. Ansys Fluent was used to apply porous media conditions to a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) by setting porosity to 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, and 70%. In addition, the ef ect on back pressure was analyzed by applying the inlet velocity according to the engine load to 7.4 m/s, 10.3 m/s, 13.1 m/s, and 26.2 m/s as boundary conditions. As a result of a computational fluid dynamics analysis, the rate of change for back pressure by changing the inlet velocity was greater than when inlet temperature was changed, and the maximum rate of change was 27.4 mbar. This was evaluated as a suitable device for ships of 1800kW because the back pressure in all boundary conditions did not exceed the classification standard of 68mbar.

10 m³/min (CMM) multi-pollutants abatement system was successfully developed by effectively integrating ozone oxidation, wet scrubbing, and wet electrostatic precipitation for the simultaneous removal of particulate matters (PMs) and NOx in a semiconductor fabrication process. The sophisticated control and optimization of operating parameters were conducted to maximize the destruction and removal efficiency of NOx. In particular, the stability test of a wet electrostatic precipitator was carried out in parallel for 30 days to validate the reliability of core parts including a power supply. An O₃/NO ratio, which is the most important operating parameter, was optimized to be about 1.5 and the optimization of wet scrubbing with a reducing agent made it possible to analyze the contribution of neutralization reaction.

The characteristics of fluidization in a centrifugal fluidized bed with a 184 mm inner diameter, 50 mm width of the gas distributor was observed by photographs and experimental works using Cu-ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts with a mean diameter of $26{\mu}m$ and $32{\mu}m$ as bed materials at a rotor at 400rpm and 600rpm. Under these experimental ranges, the experimental results clearly showed the effects of the number of rotation of the rotor on the behavior of bubbles in the centrifugal fluidized bed. As the number of rotations of the rotor increased, the gas velocity at which bubbles begin to be formed also increased but the diameter of the bubbles decreased. In addition, the size of the bubbles in the centrifugal fluidized bed were relatively smaller than those in the conventional bubbling fluidized bed.

Even if EGR is known as a technology which dramatically reduces NOx emission, its application is a quite complicate since it affects fuel economy and increase of PM emission. Therefore, it is a very important issue to investigate an optimal EGR rate considering all engine parameters. This research was numerically conducted to predict combustion and emission characteristics with respect to various EGR rates.

The characteristics of DeNOx conversion process by plasma/post-heating system with the simulated gas containing ethene is investigated experimentally. Without plasma treatment, $NO-NO_2$ conversion doesn't occur by $400^{\circ}C$ in a mixture of $N_2/O_2$ with a trace gas of ethene. But $NO-NO_2$ conversion occurs as temperature increases above $400^{\circ}C$. The NO can, however, be converted to $NO_2$ at lower temperatures by treating the gas mixture with non-thermal plasma. The $NO-NO_2$ conversion enhances further by passing the plasma treated gas through the post-heating furnace. Results show that 20%${\sim}50%$ more conversion of NO to $NO_2$ is observed when the temperatures of the post-heating furnace are maintained at $300^{\circ}C$ or $400^{\circ}C$. The additional $NO-NO_2$ conversion by post-heating is due to the reaction of ethene with the byproducts or radicals generated from the plasma reaction.
