Lithium ions can induce the thermal runaway phenomenon and lead to reignition due to electrical, mechanical, and environmental factors such as high temperature, smoke generation, explosions, or flames, which is extremely likely to create safety concerns. Therefore, one of the ways to improve the flame retardancy of the electrolyte is to use a flame-retardant additive. Comparing the associated characteristic value of existing substances with the required experimental value, it was found that these values were either considerably different or were not documented. It is vital to know a substance's combustion characteristic values, flash point, explosion limit, and autoignition temperature (AIT) as well as its combustion characteristics before using it. In this research, the flash point and AIT of materials were measured by mixing a highly volatile and flammable substance, diethyl carbonate (DEC), with flame-retardant dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP). The flash point of DEC, which is a pure substance, was 29℃, and that for DMMP was 65℃. Further, the lower explosion limit calculated using the measured flash point of DEC was 1.79 Vol.%, while that for DMMP was 0.79 Vol.%. The AIT was 410℃ and 390℃ for DEC and DMMP, respectively. In particular, since the AIT of DMMP has not been discussed in any previous study, it is necessary to ensure safety through experimental values. In this study, the experimental and regression analysis revealed that the average absolute deviation (ADD) for the flash point of the DEC+DMMP DEC+DMMP system is 0.58 sec and that the flash point tends to increase according to changes in the composition employed. It also revealed that the AAD for the AIT of the mixture was 3.17 sec and that the AIT tended to decrease and then increase based on changes in the composition.

In October 2018, a large fire occurred after an explosion in an internal floating roof tank (IFRT) that stores gasoline by wind lantern in Goyang city, Gyeonggi-do. Although there was no casualty damage, the fire inside the tank lasted for 17 hours, and caused a great wave socially, and it was a chance to review the safety of the atmospheric storage tank. In this study, the necessity of installing a flame arrester at peripheral vents was examined through the calculation of the size of ventilation pipe and ventilation rate of internal floating roof tanks in terms of the function of the peripheral vent. Next, the necessity of the emergency shut-off valve linked with the high-level alarm to prevent the overflow of the atmospheric storage tank was confirmed by LOPA. Finally, safety measures to prevent overpressure, flame propagation and overflow which cause major accidents in atmospheric storage tank are suggested.

3-헥사논의 안전한 취급을 위해, 폭발한계는 문헌을 통해 고찰하였고, 인화점과 발화지연시간에 의한 발화온도를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 밀페식 장치에 의한 3-헥사논(에틸프로필케톤)의 하부인화점은 $18^{\circ}C$로 측정되었으며, 개방식에서는 $27^{\circ}C{\sim}32^{\circ}C$로 측정되었다. ASTM E659 장치를 사용하여 자연발화온도와 발화지연시간을 측정하였고, 3-헥사논의 최소자연발화온도는 $425^{\circ}C$로 측정되었다. 측정된 인화점에 의한 폭발하한계는 1.21 Vol%로 계산되었다.

The utilization of LPG(Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is increasing as an environmental-friendly fuel in all countries making green growth new paradigm, and use of gas is spread fast as motor fuels to decrease air pollution. Loss of lives by explosion and fire is happening every year as gas use increases, and gas accident in large scale storage property is causing serious problems socially. To minimize this problem, underground containment type storage tank is being presented as an alternative recently. In this study, to minimize explosion occurrence in underground containment type storage tank, the suitable storage tank is designed to consider explosion prevention that makes exposure surface area minimize in confined contents volume and flame to construct storage tank by the most suitable condition in the underground containment room. As a result of the design of storage tank having the most suitable condition by this research, underground containment space was minimized on diameter 3m, length 4.83m in 20 tons storage tank and its safety was improved as exposure surface area in flame decreased by 89.4%, compared with the existent storage tank.

The purpose of this study is to suggest improvement plans for prevention regulations by reflecting the toxicity, fire and explosion effects of hazardous materials factories and surrounding areas using an off-site consequence assessment program. Regarding the effects of the hydrogen cyanide leak accident, which is the 1st petroleum of the 4th class flammable liquid, Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres (ALOHA) program was used to compare and analyze the extent of damage effects for toxicity, overpressure, and radiation. As a result, the toxicity was analyzed to exceed 5km in the area with Acute exposure guideline level (AEGL)-2 concentration or higher, the overpressure was 103m in the range of 1 psi or more, and the radiant heat was analyzed to be 724m in the range of 2kw/m² or more. Toxicity and radiation affected the area outside the hazardous material storage area, but the overpressure was limited to the inside of the hazardous material storage area. Therefore, we propose to improve the safety management of hazardous materials by conducting a risk assessment for hazardous materials and reflecting the results in internal and external emergency response plans to prepare prevention regulations.

화학 산업의 발전에 따라 관련 사고가 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며 그 가운데 화재·폭발 사고가 큰 비중을 차지하고 있다. 화재 · 폭발 사고를 방지하기 위해 인화성액체를 취급하는 장소 등은 관련 법령에 근거하여 한국산업표준(KS C IEC60079-10-1)에 따라 폭발위험장소를 구분하도록 하고 있다. 이는 인화성액체를 취급하는 연구실에도 동일하게 적용된다. 본 논문에서는 연구실에서 인화성액체가 누출되어 증발 풀(pool)을 형성하는 경우 한국산업표준에 따른 폭발위험장소 구분 절차의 적용성과 환기속도의 변화가 누출특성에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 연구실과 같은 장소는 한국산업표준에 따른 폭발위험장소 구분에 대한 기준적용이 어려우며, 별도의 안전대책이 마련되어야 함을 알 수 있었다.

LPG 판매업소의 용기보관창고는 보관량이나 위해 상황을 충분히 고려하지 않은 상태로 단순히 방폭벽 구조에 의한 안전규제에 의존해 왔다 따라서 LPG폭발로 인한 보관창고 의 안전규정은 안전완충거리를 충분히 확보하고 있는지 확인할 필요가 있다. 기존의 안전 규제는 그러한 보관창고로부터 사고시 인근에 위치한 구조물과 연간 활동에 미치는 잠재 적 초과압력이나 방출열의 정도를 고려하고 있는지 그 확인이 요구된다. 본 연구는 P PHAST와 IAEA의 위험성 평가와 우선 순위 선정수법, 일본의 LPG 판매소 안전규정 등 을 통하여 안전거리를 산출하였다. 이 결과에 의하면 기존의 LPG판매소의 방폭벽은 추가 적인 안전거리가 요구된다.

In this study, to ensure the safety of the packaged hydrogen refueling system, the improvement plan was derived by using 3-dimensional CFD program (FLACS). We also confirmed the effectiveness of risk reduction and the suitability of safety standard. By ventilation performance evaluation according to the position of the vent, it demonstrated that the vent should be installed at the ceiling to safely ventilate without stagnation of the leaked gas. In case of ventilation system according to KGS standard, risk situation could be resolved after about 5 minutes in the worst leaked condition. The result showed that jet fire and explosion inside the packaged system could affect the surrounding facilities. This proves that the standard for installing flame detectors, emergency shut down system and protection wall is appropriate.

본 연구에서는 알루미늄(Al), 아연(Zn)이 단일 성분으로 존재하는 경우의 폭발위험성이 Al-Zn혼합물 분진에 비하여 어떻게 변화하는지를 알기 위하여 폭발하한농도(LEL), 최대폭발압력($P_{max}$)등에 대한 폭발특성을 실험적으로 조사하였다. 그 결과 Al은 Zn의 혼합에 의해 폭발하한농도(LEL)가 급격히 증가하고 최대폭발압력이 감소하였으며, Al-Zn혼합물의 폭발위험성은 단일 성분의 Al에 비하여는 낮지만 Zn 단독의 경우보다는 높은 것을 알수 있었다. 그러므로 Zn-Al혼합물이 Al보다 폭발성이 낮아지지만 화재폭발 가능성이 충분히 잠재되어 있으므로 예방대책이 필요하다.

The purpose of this study is to suggest new safety code to improve the safety of the flare safety system. Firstly, we analyzed the major accidents occurred at the flare system since 1996 and proposed 3 articles which is required to be added newly to the existing KOSHA code. Secondly, we also performed the HAZOP study for each study node and also suggested 5 articles. Finally, we analyzed the commented contents of PSM reports which have been submitted from the enterprise located in Honam province since 2005 and proposed 5 articles as well. We understand that all 13 articles proposed above, should be added to the KOSHA code in order to improve the safety in the flare system and to prevent the major fire and explosion accidents in the design stage.
