This pilot study focuses on emissions characterization of air pollutants produced from incineration of some municipal solid wastes (MSWs). The MSWs incinerated by an electric furnace maintained up to $600^{\circ}C$ included food, paper, and plastic wastes. The pollutants analyzed in this study included concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), bottom ash contents, and heavy metals extracted from the bottom ash of each waste. The VOCs identified were classified based on their chemical structure. The total emissions of VOCs produced from incineration of the papers were identified as the highest followed by those from the plastics and the food wastes. Aliphatic alkenes were major VOC compounds produced from incineration of plastic or food wastes, while furans were major VOCs produced from incineration of papers. The second major VOCs produced from incineration of food, plastics, and papers were aromatics. In particular, hazardous air pollutants such as benzene were produced with considerable amount of emission concentration. The bottom ash contents of papers were usually much higher than those of food or plastic wastes. The bottom ash contents produced from incineration of food and plastics were much lower than those of other MSWs. In analysis of heavy metals extracted by an ultrasonic method from the bottom ashes of the papers, high concentrations of heavy metals were identified from incineration of newspapers and box (cardboard). In addition, it was identified that the general public might be exposed to considerable amounts of lead concentrations during incineration processes and uses of paper cup and from ashes.

본 연구에서는 도시고형폐기물을 구성하는 주요한 성분중의 하나인 셀룰로오스와 플라스틱의 열분해 특성을 열중량시스템에서 조사하였다. 실험은 온도범위 400~900K에서 제 실험변수에 따라 질소분위기에서 수행하였으며, 압축한 도시고형폐기물에 적용하기 위한 수정 Arrhenius 열분해 모델을 제안하였다. 승온속도를 20, 30, 40K/min로 변화시키면서 수행한 실험에서, 도시고형폐기물을 구성하는 순수물질의 활성화에너지는 셀룰로오스계열의 경우 117~166kJ/mol, 플라스틱계열은 187~239kJ/mol이며, 반응차수는 1.1~1.9의 범위에 있었다. 압축한 도시고형폐기물은 승온속도, 압축비, 입경의 증가에 따라 char의 수율이 증가하였다. 또한 압축도시고형폐기물의 열분해 과정을 Arrhemius식과 열전달이론을 이용하여 수정 제안한 모델의 적용 결과 기존의 모델보다 실험결과와 더 잘 일치하였다.

재활용선별시설에서 파봉공정은 연계된 선별공정을 위한 필수 공정으로 주로 인력에 의한 작업과 일부 기계식 파봉장치가 도입되었다. 그러나, 기계식 파봉장치의 경우 재활용 대상폐기물을 파쇄하여 선별효율의 저하 및 폭발 등 작업자의 안전문제가 자주 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 파봉 방식의 문제점을 해결 할 수 있는 회전칼날팔각드럼식 파봉 정량공급 장치를 개발하여 성능평가 및 환경성 검토를 통한 현장 적용 가능성 평가를 수행하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 처리용량은 드럼회전수 8.2 rpm, 벨트컨베이어 속도 1.25 m/min에서 5.6 ton/hr로 설계용량인 5.0 ton/hr를 만족하였으며, 최대 처리용량은 8.8 ton/hr으로 나타났다. 봉투 속 봉투의 파봉효율은 95.6% 및 겉봉투의 경우에는 100%로 나타났으며, 특히 재활용대상폐기물 중 가장 쉽게 파손되는 유리병의 원형보존율은 약 96.5%로 정가되었다. 본 장치의 소음, 진동 및 비산먼지 농도 등에 대한 환경성 정토결과 환경오염배출허용 법적기준치를 모두 만족하는 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서, 본 파봉장치를 재활용선별시설에 적용할 경우 기존의 인력파봉과 기계식파봉에서 발생되었던 문제점을 크게 개선할 수 있다.

Equatorial noise, also known magnetosonic waves (MSWs), are one of the frequently observed plasma waves in Earth's inner magnetosphere. Observations have shown that wave amplitudes maximize at the magnetic equator with a narrow extent in their latitudinal distribution. It has been understood that waves are generated from an equatorial source region and confined within a few degrees magnetic latitude. The present study investigates whether the MSW instability and saturation amplitudes maximize at the equator, given an energetic proton ring-like distribution derived from an observed wave event, and using linear instability analysis and particle-in-cell simulations with the plasma conditions at different latitudes along the dipole magnetic field line. The results show that waves initially grow fastest (i.e., with the largest growth rate) at high latitude (20°-25°), but consistent with observations, their saturation amplitudes maximize within ±10° latitude. On the other hand, the slope of the saturation amplitudes versus latitude revealed in the present study is not as steep as what the previous statistical observation results suggest. This may be indicative of some other factors not considered in the present analyses at play, such as background magnetic field and plasma inhomogeneities and the propagation effect.

The spatial scan statistic is a widely used method to detect spatial clusters. The method imposes a large number of scanning windows with pre-defined shapes and varying sizes on the entire study region. The likelihood ratio test statistic comparing inside versus outside each window is then calculated and the window with the maximum value of test statistic becomes the most likely cluster. The results of cluster detection respond sensitively to the shape and the maximum size of scanning windows. The shape of scanning window has been extensively studied; however, there has been relatively little attention on the maximum scanning window size (MSWS) or maximum reported cluster size (MRCS). The Gini coefficient has recently been proposed by Han et al. (International Journal of Health Geographics, 15, 27, 2016) as a powerful tool to determine the optimal value of MRCS for the Poisson-based spatial scan statistic. In this paper, we apply the Gini coefficient to normal-based spatial scan statistics. Through a simulation study, we evaluate the performance of the proposed method. We illustrate the method using a real data example of female colorectal cancer incidence rates in South Korea for the year 2009.

생활폐기물 열분해-가스화-용융공정 2개 시설(A 및 B 시설)에 대하여 PCDDs/PCDFs 농도를 조사한 결과, A시설은 2차연소로후단, 보일러후단, 굴뚝에서 PCDDs/PCDFs의 농도는 각각 0.88, 2.29, 0.16 ng I-TEQ/$m^3$으로 나타났다. B시설에서 열분해-가스화-용융로후단, 굴뚝에서 PCDDs/PCDFs 농도는 각각 0.22, 0.05 ng I-TEQ/$m^3$로 나타났다. 두 시설 모두에서 고온의 연소로보다 냉각구간의 보일러에서 다이옥신의 재합성으로 인하여 농도가 증가되었다. 또한 A시설에서는 2, 3, 4, 7, 8-PeCDF, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8-HxCDF, 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8-HxCDF 순서로 높은 농도를 나타냈으며, B시설은 2, 3, 4, 7, 8-PeCDF, 1, 2, 3, 7, 8-PeCDD, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8-HxCDF 순서로 높게 나타났다.

본 연구는 신재생에너지 활용을 위하여 강원도의 B 지자체를 대상으로 폐기물 발생특성에 따른 매립가스 발생량 및 자원화 가능성에 대하여 연구하였다. B 지자체의 생활폐기물 평균 겉보기 밀도는 144 kg/$m^3$로, 가스 물질 및 연료화 가능성 물질인 가연성 평균 폐기물 조성비는 종이류 36.0 %, 비닐 플라스틱류 21.6 %, 음식물류 19.7 %로 조사되었다. 발열량 분석결과, 고위발열량(습윤) 3,471 $kca{\ell}$/kg, 저위발열량(습윤) 2,941 $kca{\ell}$/kg로 측정되었으며, 특히 음식물류 폐기물의 매립지 직매립이 금지된 후 에는 발열량이 높은 종이류와 비닐 플라스틱의 비율이 증가하여 발열량이 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 매립지에서 발생하는 메탄가스는 2021년(2,505.7 CH4 ton/year)을 정점으로 점차 감소하는 것으로 예측되었는데, 특히 RDF(Refuse Derived Fuel) 제조시설이 설치되면 2013년(1,956.9 CH4 ton/year)을 정점으로 감소되는 것으로 예측되었다. B 지자체의 매립지에서 발생하는 매립가스(Land Fill Gas; LFG) 추정량은 9.92 $m^3$/min 로 예측되어 타 지자체에서 발생하는 매립가스 추정량(10.11 $m^3$/min)과 유사하게 조사되었다.
