본 연구에서는 고압조건에서 $SO_2$를 원소 황으로 전환하기 위한 촉매환원반응이 수행되었다. $SO_2$ 환원을 위한 촉매로 Sn-Zr계 금속복합산화물 촉매를 사용하였으며, 환원제로 CO가 사용되었다. 촉매환원반응성을 조사하기 위하여 반응온도, 반응물의 몰비([CO]/[$SO_2$]), 공간속도에 따른 $SO_2$ 전화율과 원소 황 수율 그리고 COS의 선택도를 상압조건과 20기압조건에서 비교되었다. 상압조건에서 $SO_2$ 전화율은 반응온도가 증가될수록 함께 증가되었으며, $CO/SO_2$ 몰비가 높을수록 증가되었다. 또한 $SO_2$ 전화율의 증가와 함께 COS의 선택도도 함께 증가되어, 원소 황 수율은 오히려 낮아졌다. 그러나 20 atm의 고압조건에서는 높은 $SO_2$ 전화율과 낮은 COS의 선택도가 얻어졌다. 이와 같은 결과는 높은 압력으로 인한 반응속도의 증가와 함께 생성된 원소 황이 응축되어 CO에 의한 COS 생성이 억제되었기 때문이라 판단된다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 $SO_2$ 촉매환원반응으로 높은 황 수율은 고압조건에서 더 유리하게 얻을 수 있다.

To study the characteristics of ammonia and the related compounds, atmospheric aerosols and gases were collected using a triple filter pack sampler, a low volume air sampler, and a three-stage Anderson air sampler in Seoul and Kangwha Island, Korea from Dec. 1996 to Oct. 1997. Ammonia concentrations showed approximately two times higher in summer than in winter at both sites. The highest $HNO_3$ levels were generally observed in summertime at two sampling sites. The average mass concentration of $PM_{2.5}$ in heavily industrialized Seoul was about three times higher than that of Kangwha. In winter, the sum of $NH_4^+$ and its counter ions (such as $Cl^-,\;NO_3^-$, and $SO_4^{2-}$) comprised $30-41\%$ of $PM_{2.5}$ mass concentration at each sampling site. Temperature dependence of particulate nitrate was examined at the urban sampling site. The formation of the nitrate in the fine mode was dependent not only on the amount of precursors but also on the variation of temperature. $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ and $NH_4HSO_4$ coexisted with $NH_4NO_3$ and $NH_4Cl$ at each site. According to the summertime backward trajectory analysis, $NO_3^-$ showed higher level with air parcels transported from northeast Asian continent. On the other hand, the concentration of $SO_4^{2-}$ showed significantly higher level when air masses originated from Pacific Ocean, southern part of Japan, and Korea.

Hanna - Gifford Model and Air Quality Display Model(AQDM) were validated in the simulation of $SO_2$ and TSP concentrations of Seoul City. The observed data which were measured at 16 sites of air monitoring system conducted by Seoul metropolitan city in 1984 were compared with the simulated data and the results were obtained as follows; 1. Several different meteorological data were examined: The particularities of meteorological data was not an influencing factor in the validity of simulation. The simulations of $SO_2$ by Hanna - Gifford model and by AQDM showed close correlation coefficients between the observed data and the simulated data (r = 0.71 - 0.78). 2. The simulation models showed different validities with the seasonal variation: The correlation coefficients (r) between the observed and the simulated by Hanna - Gifford Model for $SO_2$ and TSP were 0.86 and 0.80 in Spring, 0.63 and 0.66 in Summer, 0.76 in Autumn and 0.81 and 0.93 in Winter respectively. Those by AQDM were 0.73 and 0.68 in Spring, 0.56 and 0.79 in Summer, 0.77 and 0.76 in Autumn and 0.64 and 0.68 in Winter respectively. 3. The simulated data by two models had a close relationships: The correlation coefficients between them were 0.96 for $SO_2$, and 0.93 for TSP. With the above results, the application of models was discussed; Hanna - Gifford model was less valid in the simulation for the air quality of $SO_2$ and TSP in Seoul in Summer and AQDM also was not valid for $SO_2$ in Summer and in Winter and for TSP in Spring.

This study presents the characteristics of nocturnal inversion layer and their effect on the concentration variations of surface air pollutants using tethersonde and automatic weather station (AWS, 2 layer tower) system in Ulsan during 2003, The method for the distinction of inversion intensity was decided based on the sum of nocturnal temperature gradient. As the results, there was a close correlation (correlation coefficient of 0,76) between the maximum inversion height obtained from tethersonde and the sum of nocturnal temperature gradient. The air pollutant concentration was also directly proportional to the inversion intensity. When the inversion intensity was strong in the nighttime, ozone $(O_3)$ concentration was lower, while nitrogen dioxide $(NO_2)$ concentration was higher. The carbon monoxide (CO) concentration was gradually higher according to the nocturnal inversion intensity, whereas sulfur dioxide $(SO_2)$ concentration was relatively constant. In addition, we found that there was no correlation between the inversion intensity and TSP concentration.

Of the forma of Hibiscus Syriacus, national flower, a dozens of them have been recommended for landscape treess. To find out the highly resistant forma, 13 forma of Shrub al thea were fumigatedqr with $SO_2$ in phytotron and their visible injury was observed. Visible injury of Shrub al thea forma was spread on the vein in the shape of spot and diffused to whole leaf with wilting. The injury colors of forma were generally dull bluish green, dark grayish green. The tolerant forma to $SO_2$ were Sanchunyeo, Saeachim, Sulag and the highly sensitive forma were Lusi, Youngkwang. Therefore, Sanchunyeo, Saeachim and Sulag were recommeneded to plant in polluted areas.

Since sulfur dioxide is released from the oxidation of sulfur in fuel, the level of $SO_2$ in industrial areas can be effectively managed by optimizing the allocation of fuels: the fuel should be allocated to each industries so as to achieve the air quality goal in the area with minimum fuel cost. The solution for this can be by solved using linear programming technique incorporated with the Gaussian dispersion equation. When this method was applied in Ulsan Industrial Complex, 39.3% of fuel expense could be saved compared with the present uniform fuel policy. With this method, bituminous coal generally was allocated to big emission sources such as power plants or to industries sparsely located in remote areas, and LPG or low-sulfur oils to small or medium-size sources in dense indurstrial aras. However, the particulates emission will increase with this policy, because it maximizes the use of coal within the limit to achieve the air quality goal in the area.

To study the influences of the emission sources during lune 13∼15 1997 in Seoul, MESOPVFF II model has been used. The MESOPVFF II model includes terrain effects, chemical transformation and removal processes. Data of 20 surface meteorological stations and the upper air station on mid-west area in Korea were used as a DWM (Diagnostic Wind Model) input data. This model is likely to be applicable because the predicted SO2 concentration was well matched with measured 502 concentration in Seoul and Kyonggido. In generally air pollutants in Seoul have major influence on the other cities but the result of modeling appeared also air pollutants of the other cities influence on Seoul. Finally, in the case of calculating the air quality by diffusion model, the influences of air pollutants emitted in metropolitan area as well as the emission rate in modeling area should be considered.

The acid deposition and photochemical modeling study was performed on the Eastern Asia using Regional Acid Deposition Model(RADM). The results of this study show that horizontal distribution of $SO_2$, concentration and dry deposition flux was higher in Beking, Shanghai and central part of Korea. However distribution pattern of sulfate and $O_3$ concentration calculated by RADM were not similar to emission pattern. In daytime, $SO_2$, sulfate and $O_3$ were mixed to whole PBL but in nighttime because of inversion layer these pollutants were suppressed to lower level.

This study has analyzed the concentration variation of four air pollutants ($PM_{10}$, $NO_2$, CO, and $SO_2$) during the typhoon periods over 10 years (2002~2011). In this study, 10 typhoon events which had rainfalls in Korean Peninsula were selected during the study period. The analysis was performed using the observation data of both the air pollutants and rainfall. In order to examine and compare the concentrations of the air pollutants between normal periods and typhoon periods, we have obtained monthly average concentrations from July to September and daily average concentrations during typhoon periods. For the period from July to September, 34% of the total rainfalls can be explained by typhoons, and the concentration of air pollutants during the typhoon period was lower than the normal period. In addition, the concentration variations of the pollutants during the typhoon period were analyzed according to two categories: differences in the concentrations between the day before and the day of the typhoon (Case 1) and between the day before and after the typhoon (Case 2). The results indicated that the reduction rate of $PM_{10}$, $NO_2$, CO, and $SO_2$ was 30.1%, 17.9%, 11.6%, 9.7% (Case 1) and 22.8%, 21.0%, 9.0%, 8.0% (Case 2), respectively. This result suggested that air quality was significantly improved during the typhoon period than after the typhoon period by the rainfall.
