In the present research, we prepared the activated carbon (AC) sorbents to remove gas-phase mercury. The mercury adsorption of virgin AC, chemically treated AC and fly ash was performed. Sulfur impregnated and sulfuric acid impregnated ACs were used as the chemically treated ACs. A simulated flue gas was made of SOx, NOx and mercury vapor in nitrogen balance. A reduced mercury adsorption capacity was obtained with the simulated gas as compared with that containing only mercury vapor in nitrogen. With the simulated gas, the sulfuric acid treated AC showed the highest performance, but it might have the problem of corrosion due to the emission of sulfuric acid. It was also found that the high sulfur impregnated AC also released a portion of sulfur at $140^{\circ}C$. Thus, it was concluded that the low sulfur impregnated AC was suitable for the treatment of flue gas in terms of stability and efficiency.

This paper proposes a new alternating current driving method for highly capacitive loads such as plasma display panels or piezoelectric actuators, etc. In the proposed scheme, a current balance transformer, which has two windings with the same turn-ratio, provides not only a resonance inductance for energy recovery but also a current balance among all of the switching devices of the driver for current stress reduction. The smaller conduction loss than conventional circuits occurs due to the dual conduction paths which are parallel each other in the current balance transformer. Also, the leakage inductances of the transformer are utilized as resonant inductors for energy recovery by the series resonance to the capacitive load. Furthermore, the resonance contributes to the small switching losses of the switching devices by soft-switching operation. To confirm the validity of the proposed circuit, prototype hardware with a 12-inch mercury-free flat fluorescent lamp is implemented. The experimental results are compared with a conventional energy-recovery circuit from the perspective of luminance performances.

Total gas phase mercury (TGM) concentrations and event wet-only precipitation for Hg were collected for nine months (from April, 2002 to Dec., 2002) at Sterling, NY on the shoreline of Lake Ontario. TGM concentrations measured in this study ($3.02{\pm}2.14\;ng/m^3$) were in somewhat high range compared to other background sites. Using simplified quantitative transport bias analysis (SQTBA) possible sources affecting high Hg concentration in Sterling was identified, and they are coal-fired power plants located in southern NY and Pennsylvania. Wet deposition measured at Mercury Deposition Network (MDN) sites including Pt. Petre and Egbert, ON were compared with data obtained at the Sterling to estimate the total mercury wet deposition flux to Lake Ontario. The wet deposition flux was calculated to be the highest at the Sterling site ($7.94\;{\mu}g/m^2$ from April, 2002 to Dec. 2002) and the lowest at the Egbert ($3.92\;{\mu}g/m^2$), due to the both the difference in precipitation depth and Hg concentration in the precipitation. The deposition measured at the Sterling site is similar to Lake Michigan deposition of $6-14\;{\mu}g/m^2$ (converted for ninth months) measured for Lake Michigan Mass Balance Study (LMMBS).

This study presents a model of the electrical characteristics of the high-pressure mercury vapour arc discharge. Energy balance equation per unit volume of the arc tube is converted into the one per unit length by assuming the parabolic radial temperature distribution and integrating over the cross-section of the tube. Using this energy balance equation, together with the circuit equation and Ohm's law, the arc voltage and current variation for 1 cycle is numerically calculated and a good result is obtained. A simple method to calculate the axis temperature of the arc tube and the radiation output is also presented.

HCl에 의한 원소수은 산화활성을 크게 억제하는 것으로 잘 알려진 NH₃가 존재하는 SCR조건에서도 CuCl₂가 담지된 V₂O₅-WO₃/TiO₂ 촉매는 원소수은의 산화에 우수한 활성을 나타내었다. 더구나, HCl과 함께 SO₂가 반응가스에 존재할 경우에 촉매표면에 담지된 CuCl₂가 CuSO₄로 변환되는데도 불구하고 뛰어난 원소수은 산화활성이 유지되는 것이 확인되었다. 이는 HCl 뿐만 아니라 촉매 표면에 생성된 SO₄ 성분이 원소수은의 산화를 촉진시키기 때문으로 판단된다. 그러나 SO₂ 존재 하에서는 촉매반응 전후의 전체 수은 수지가 맞지 않는 현상이 나타나는데 특히 SO₂ 농도가 높을수록 심하게 나타났다. 이의 원인 파악을 위해서는 수은 종 분석 방법으로 적용된 SnCl₂ 수용액에서 SO₂의 영향과 촉매표면에 생성되는 황산이온이 원소수은 산화에 미치는 영향에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다. SO₂는 NO_x 제거 활성도 촉진시키는 것으로 확인되는데 이는 SO₂에 의해 촉매 표면에 생성된 SO₄에 의한 산점 증가가 NH₃ 흡착을 용이하게 하기 때문으로 판단된다. 다양한 반응조건에서 촉매 성분의 조성과 구조 변화는 XRD와 XRF로 측정하였으며 이들 측정 결과는 SO₂가 본 촉매시스템에서 원소수은의 산화 활성과 NOx 제거 활성을 증진시키는 현상을 합리적으로 설명하는 근거로 제시되었다.

오늘날 환경 산업의 발달과 함께 수정진동형 기압계 같은 정밀한 기압계가 개발됨에 따라 이를 교정하기 위한 보다 우수한 압력표준기가 필요하게 되었다. 수은압력계는 압력변화에 따른 수은의 높이차를 측정하여 압력을 계산하는 압력표준장비로 지금까지 많이 사용되어 왔으나 정밀 기압 측정의 경우 수은의 높이 측정을 초음파나 레이져를 사용해야 하므로 측정시스템이 복잡해지고 수은의 맹독성으로 인해 그 사용이 제한적이다. 그 대신 기체식 압력저울을 이용한 정밀한 기압계 교정이 오늘날 많이 시도되고 있으나 압력저울은 교정 시 피스톤 주위 공간을 진공으로 만들어 측정해야 하므로 진공중의 분동 교환이 사용의 가장 큰 걸림돌로 지적되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위해 진공을 깨지 않고도 효율적으로 분동을 교환할 수 있는 장치를 고안, 제작하였다. 본 장치를 이용하면 교정 시 측정시간의 단축과 함께 잦은 대기 노출로 인한 피스톤, 실린더, 분동의 오염과 피스톤과 실린더 간격 사이의 불순물 삽입으로 인한 압력표준기 성능저하를 예방할 수 있다. 아울러 이 장치로 실제 상용되고 있는 초정밀 기압계의 특성 검사를 수행하여 그 실험 결과를 기술하였다.

We have closely examined the concentration change characteristics, emission amounts, and the material balance of hazardous air pollutants at both early and later stages of the prevention facilities. These results will be uses as the basic data when preparing for the regulatory and management plans for hazardous air pollutants. The results of the study on heavy metals illustrated that the content of heavy metals in sludge across five facilities were as follows: copper> zinc> chrome> nickel> cadmium> mercury. In terms of heavy metal content in swage sludge, the sludge in incinerating facilities other than the sludge in the D incinerating facility containing industrial water waste, was examined in order to satisfy the ocean contamination standard and fertilizer specifications. Most of the items were shown to have satisfied the emission tolerance standards in the latter part of the prevention facilities(The average elimination rate was over 90%). Therefore, it is concluded that swage sludge containing high-concentrate heavy metals needs to be incinerated rather than recycled as fertilizer.

Recently, HID lamps have been considered as important in regard to the trend of energy saving, and increasingly and diversely used in various ways. This paper will show the simulating models concerning high-pressure arc discharge system directly applicable for its design and manufacture, and analyze its various characteristics. For warm-up characteristics, the evaporating process of inner atoms is described in terms of second-order differential equation: for the thermal conduction from are axis to discharge wall and outer bulb, its transfer process is introduced according to five first-order differential equations. Under the steady state satisfying LTE, the time-variant characteristics are suggested by means of time-dependent energy balance equation derived from fluid equations, approximation of radiation energy and material functions in the discharge tube. The simulating models concerning these equations are then applied for high-pressure mercury lamp.

In order to develop a mathematical model which can predict the operating voltage and current of a discharge lamp, the properties and the physical phenomena of a low pressure gas discharge are investigated. Fluorescent lamp which uses a low pressure mercury-argon gas discharge is used in the model development. In a low pressure mercur-argon gas discharge, the continuity equation for each excited atom and electron, and the electron energy balance equation can predict the physical quantities of discharge. By coupling these equations and the circuit equation, the electrical characteristics of the discharge lamp can be predicted. To verify the validity of the suggested model, we calculated the voltage and current of a fluorescent lamp operating with inductor ballast for source frequency of 5KHz, 8KHz, 10KHz, and 13KHz. The results show good agreements in wave forms between the measured voltage and current, and the difference between the measured and calculated one is less than 5%.

최근 저전력 소모와 얇은 두께, 무수은, 다양한 색표현력, 빠른 응답 속도 등의 다양한 장점을 가진 LED(Light Emitting Diode)를 광원으로 이용하는 LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) TV가 큰 주목을 받고 있다. 이러한 LCD TV의 화면을 균등한 휘도로 표현하기 위해 기존의 구동회로는 다 채널의 LED를 정전류로 제어하는 DC/DC 컨버터가 각각 적용되었고, 이는 원가 상승 및 효율 저하의 원인이 되었다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 각 LED 채널에 적용되는 DC/DC 컨버터 없이 트랜스포머를 이용하여 모든 LED 채널의 정전류 제어가 가능한 고효율 저가격형 구동회로를 제안하고, 이에 대한 이론적 해석을 제시한다. 최종적으로 제안 회로를 46" LCD TV 백라이트에 적용하여 그 실험 결과를 바탕으로 제안 회로의 타당성을 검증한다.
