Fine dust generated from vehicle brakes accounts for a significant amount of fine dust from non-exhaust system. Since such brake fine dust contains a large number of heavy metal components that are fatal to the human body, a device capable of collecting them needs to be developed. A mini cyclone, one of the devices that can effectively collect fine dust, has the advantage of relatively simple shape and high collection efficiency. Therefore, in this study, the collection efficiency of the mini-cyclone was numerically analyzed using CFD in order to find out whether such a mini-cyclone is suitable for collecting brake fine dust. As a result, the cut-off diameter was predicted to be about 1.5㎛, which means that the particle trapping load of the filter can be drastically reduced. Therefore, there is a possibility that the mini-cyclone can be used to collect fine dust from disc brakes.

본 연구에서는 폐암을 유발하는 발암물질이며 다양한 문제의 원인이 되고 있는 유해물질인 미세먼지 제거특성을 조사하였다. 변수로는 습도, 초기미세먼지 주입량, 유속을 고려하였다. 실험결과 습도가 높은 경우 제거에 소요되는 시간동안 평균 농도는 낮아지지만, 최종농도에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 세 가지 초기미세먼지주입량의 변화는 모두 비슷한 제거경향을 나타내었다. 또한 유속이 0.6 m/s에서 0.3 m/s로 변할 경우 제거소요시간이 약 1.4배 증가하는 결과가 관찰되었다. 본 연구에서는 습도, 미세먼지 주입량, 유속 중 미세먼지 제거에 가장 큰 변화를 보이는 것은 유속으로 관찰되었다.

Because fine dust (PM10) has a close effect on the environment, fine dust generated in the climate and living environment has a bad effect on the human body. In this study, the LSTM model was applied to predict and analyze the effect of fine dust on Gwangju Metropolitan City in Korea. This paper uses prediction values of input variables selected through correlation analysis to confirm fine dust prediction performance. In this paper, data from the Gwangju Metropolitan City area were collected to measure fine dust. The collection period is one year's worth of data was used from january to December of 2021, and the test data was conducted using three-month data from January to March of 2022. As a result of this study, in the as a result of predicting fine dust (PH10) and ultrafine dust (PH2.5) using the LSTM model, the RMSE was 4.61 and the test result value was as low as 4.37. This reason is judged to be the result of the contents of the one-year sample.

Recently, there has been much research on the effect of fine dust on human body with increasing interest in the fine dust. Thermal power plant, which is considered as one of the main sources of fine dust, is reported to be responsible for 14% of the total amount of domestic fine dust in the Republic of Korea. Therefore, dust collecting devices in the thermal power plant need to be improved. In this study, the electrostatic precipitator (ESP) was considered to substitute for a mist eliminator used in flue gas desulfurization facility. By considering real situation in the flue gas desulfurization facility, the collection efficiency of the ESP was evaluated by using the sprayed limestone slurry particles. The collection efficiency of the ESP was higher than that of the mist eliminator, showing the possibility of replacing the mist eliminator with the ESP in flue gas desulfurization facility.

The effects of structure modification of the vortex finder on the collection efficiency and pressure drop have been investigated. The pressure drop in a cyclone having the two stage vortex finder is higher than that in a conventional cyclone and increases proportionally with the increase of square of gas inlet velocity in both cases. The pressure drop of both conventional cyclone of friction resistance at the boundary layer. The collection efficiency of fine dust has been enhanced by addition of vortex finder in a conventional cyclone and gas inlet velocity showing maximum dust removal efficiency increase to 17 m/s(1.7 times of saltation velocity). Optimum size of two stage vortex finder has been induced to 13 cm I.D$\times$2.6cm Length from the results of overall dust collection efficiency. Previous models were tested for the simulation of collection efficiency of cyclone having two stage vortex finder and the Dietz model predict the similar value with experimental results of the present study.

In recent years, indoor air pollution has become a crucial environmental problem. Hence, the purification of indoor air is an important issue. Typical physical filters show relatively high dust collection efficiency at a dust particle size of more than 5.0 ㎛ but extremely low efficiency at an ultrafine size of less than 2.5 ㎛. In this study, an electric field filter was proposed to capture ultrafine dust with a size of less than 5.0 ㎛. Simulation results showed that the electric field filter effectively removed ultrafine dust. In addition, sufficient dust collection efficiency was obtained even with a simple plate-shaped filter without bending the Chevron filter.

This study has been carried out to investigate Electrostatic Precipitator's(ESP) performance enhancement and removal efficiency of fine particle according to (NH4)2SO4injection rate. The following conclusions are derived from the these test results : 1) For plant condition cases, according to the variation of concentration agent [(NH4)2SO4]-10ppm, when inlet dust loading was 2g/m2. And when Inlet dust loading was 3g/m", that was increased to 98 19% 99.16% 99.23%, 99.58%, 2) It Is seen from thins experiments that the increasing 30ppm concentration of (NH4)2SO4 increase the collection efficiency and fine particle omission control.

Recently, there has been much research on the effect of ultrafine dust on human body with increasing interest in the ultrafine dust. In the Republic of Korea, there are many old thermal power plants, and the amount of ultrafine dust emitted from the thermal power plants is reported to be about 14% of the total amount of domestic fine dust. Therefore, the amount of fine dust from the flue gas desulfurization facility in the thermal power plant needs be reduced. In this study, we made an experimental setup to simulate a flue gas desulfurization facility and analyzed the physical characteristics of the particles passing through a mist eliminator. Experiments were carried out to investigate the collection efficiency of the mist eliminator by using the Arizona Test Dust in a dry environment, and then spraying limestone slurry into the flue gas desulfurization system equipped with the mist eliminator to examine the size and morphology of limestone particles upstream and downstream of the mist eliminator. Cut-off size of the mist eliminator was formed at about $6{\mu}m$. The result of this study is expected to be helpful for designing an electrostatic precipitator for removing particles passing through the mist eliminator.

근래에 미세먼지가 대기환경 관련하여 이슈가 되고 있으며, 초미세먼지의 효과적인 집진을 위하여 대용량화가 용이한 여과집진기가 상업적으로 사용될 수 있는지에 대한 평가가 필요하다. 실험실 규모의 여과집진 장치를 제작하여, PTFE 재질의 부직포 여과백 또는 PTFE membrane이 코팅된 PTFE 재질의 부직포 여과백에서의 미세먼지 집진특성을 파악하기 위하여 집진실험을 수행하였다. 실험 변수로 여과속도, 투입 먼지 농도, 입도분포가 다른 먼지 종류 등을 사용한 실험에서, 여과속도가 낮을수록, 먼지 투입농도가 높을수록, 평균입도가 클수록 집진효율이 높았으며, 여과속도가 높고, 먼지 투입농도가 높을수록 압력손실이 높게 나타났다. Pore size가 상대적으로 작은 PTFE membrane이 코팅된 여과백을 사용한 경우, 코팅이 되지 않은 여과백을 사용한 경우에 비하여 집진효율이 높고, 표면여과에 따른 포집 먼지층 저항계수가 낮아져 압력손실이 낮게 나타났다. PTFE membrane이 코팅된 여과백을 사용하여 off-line 탈진을 수행할 경우, 적정 여과속도 범위 내에서 $PM_{2.5}$에 대한 집진효율이 99.99% 이상으로 매우 높게 유지됨에 따라, 여과집진기를 사용하여 초미세먼지를 효과적으로 집진할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This study investigates the influence of particulate matter concentrations on the incidence of asthma, focusing on the delayed onset of symptoms and subsequent medical consultations. Analysis incorporates a four-day lag from the initiation of fine dust exposure and compares asthma patterns before and after the World Health Organization's (WHO) classification of fine dust as a Group 1 carcinogen in November 2013. Utilizing daily PM10 data and asthma-related medical visit counts in Seoul from 2008 to 2016, the study additionally incorporates Google search frequencies and newspaper article counts on fine dust to assess public awareness. Results reveal a surge in search frequencies and article publications after WHO announcement, indicating heightened public interest. To standardize the long-term asthma occurrence trend, the daily asthma patient numbers are ratio-adjusted based on annual averages. The analysis uncovers an increase in asthma medical visits 2 to 3 days after fine dust events. Additionally, greater public awareness of fine dust hazards correlates with a significant reduction in asthma occurrence after such events, even within 'normal' fine dust concentrations. Notably, behavioral changes, like limiting outdoor activities, contribute to this decrease. This study highlights the importance of analyzing accumulated medical data over an extended period to identify general public behavioral patterns, deviating from conventional survey methods in social sciences. Future research aims to extend data collection beyond 2016, exploring recent trends and considering the potential impact of decreased fine dust awareness amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
