  • 본 연구에서는 국내 폐기물매립지에서 배출되는 온실가스를 저감하기 위한 호기성 안정화 기술의 적용 가능성을 평가하였다. 대상매립지는 국내 Y 매립지로 LandGEM 모델을 이용하여 메탄 배출량을 산정하였으며, 온실가스 저감량($CO_2eq$)은 혐기성 조건(베이스라인)과 호기성 조건에서의 배출량을 비교하여 산정하였다. 호기성 조건에서의 온실가스 저감은 폐기물매립지 내부로 공기를 주입 시 혐기성에서 호기성으로 전환되면서 부산물로 메탄대신 이산화탄소가 발생되기 때문이다. 평가결과 호기성 안정화 기술은 기존 혐기성 대비 86.6%의 온실가스를 감축하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 조기안정화를 통한 주변 환경오염 저감과 동시에 온실가스를 대폭 저감시킬 수 있는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 호기성 안정화 기술은 지속가능한 매립관점에서 보았을 때 국내 폐기물매립지에 적용할 수 있는 가장 적합한 기술 중 하나로 판단된다.

  • Objective: Native plants can be used as additives to replace antibiotics to improve ruminant feed utilization and animal health. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of Gentiana straminea (GS) on nutrient digestibility, methane emissions, and energy metabolism of Simmental calves. Methods: Thirty-two (5-week-old) male Simmental clves, with initial body weight (BW) of 155±12 kg were fed the same basal diet of concentrates (26%), alfalfa hay (37%), and oat hay (37%) and were randomly separated into four treatment groups according to the amount of GS that was added to their basal diet. The four different groups received different amounts of GS as a supplement to their basal diet during whole experiment: (0 GS) 0 mg/kg BW, the control; (100 GS) 100 mg/kg BW; (200 GS) 200 mg/kg BW; and (300 GS) 300 mg/kg BW. Results: For calves in the 200 GS and 300 GS treatment groups, there was a significant increase in dry matter (DM) intake (p<0.01), average daily gain (ADG) (p<0.05), organic matter intake (p<0.05), DM digestibility (p<0.05), neutral detergent fibre (NDF) digestibility (p<0.05), and acid detergent fibre (ADF) digestibility (p<0.05). Dietary GS supplementation result in quadratic increases of DM intake (p<0.01), ADG (p<0.05), NDF intake (p<0.05), and ADF intake (p<0.05). Supplementing the basal diet with GS significantly increased nitrogen (N) retention (p<0.001) and the ratio of retention N to N intake (p<0.001). Supplementing the basal diet with GS significantly decreased methane (CH4) emissions (p<0.01), CH4/BW0.75 (p<0.05) and CH4 energy (CH4-E) (p<0.05). Dietary GS supplementation result in quadratic increases of CH4 (p<0.01) and CH4/DM intake (p<0.01). Compared with 0 GS, GS-supplemented diets significantly improved their gross energy intake (p<0.05). The metabolizable energy and digestive energy intake were significantly greater for calves in the 100 GS and 200 GS calves than for 0 GS calves (p<0.05). Conclusion: From this study, we conclude that supplementing calf diets with GS could improve utilization of feed, energy, and N, and may reduce CH4 emissions without having any negative effects on animal health.

  • Greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide ($CO_2$), methane (CH$_4$), nitrous oxide ($N_2$O), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), sulphur hexafluoride (SF$_{6}$), together with water vapour ($H_2O$) and ozone play an important role in determining the earth's climate. The primary cause of the enhancement of GHGs is the global use of fossil fuels to generate heat, power, and electricity for a growing world population, as well as the changes in the land use, especially for agriculture. In addition, biomass buring and biofuel emissions play major roles in the GHG emissions in the Asian region because they produce large amounts of carbon monoxide (CO), nonmethane volatile organic compounds(NMVOC), black carbon(BC) and other gases.

  • Measurements of global emissions, flame radiation and flame dimensions are presented for unconfined turbulent-jet and precessing-jet diffusion flames. Precessing jet flames are characterised by increases in global flame radiation and global flame residence time for methane and propane fuels, however a strong dependency of the NOx emission indices on the fuel type exists. The fuel type dependence is considered to be because soot radiation is more effective than gas-radiation at reducing global flame temperatures relative to adiabatic flame temperatures and reducing the NO production rate.

  • Concern for new and renewable energy is growing globally. Biogas is one of the alternative fuels and consists of methane and carbon dioxide. It is difficult to achieve efficient engine operation due to a lower heating value of biogas compared to that of natural gas. In order to improve generating efficiency, finding an optimum point of ignition timing and excess air ratio is important. From this fact, generating efficiency and pollutant emissions of 2300cc gas engine generator operated by biogas as functions of ignition timings and excess air ratios were investigated in this study. As a test result, the generating efficiency of the gas engine generator using biogas was 27.34 % in the condition of the BTDC of $16^{\circ}$ and the excess air ratio of 1.4.

  • Experiments were conducted to investigate the temperature profile and the emissions conversion efficiency of catalytic converters for natural gas vehicles. Two types of the catalyst structure and several transient engine operating conditions were used. The dual-bed catalyst effectively reduced the emissions in a transient period due to the low heat capacity of the front bed. The lanthanoid additives were effective in improving catalyst durability. When the natural gas fueled engine were operated outside of a very narrow window of excess air ratio (from 0.993 to 1.004), the HC and NOx conversion efficiency dropped off. The drop-off were especially fast on the lean side of the window.

  • Performance and emissions with different diesel injection methods were analyzed in a natural gas-diesel, dual-fuel engine under low-load conditions. Natural gas was supplied to intake port during the intake stoke to form a natural gas-air premixed mixture for all methods. Diesel was injected directly into the cylinder during the compression stroke in three ways: early injections, late injections, and a combination of early and late injections. The early injections had the highest thermal efficiency among the three methods owing to its highest combustion efficiency. The wide dispersion of diesel before the combustion initiation also allowed superior emissions characteristics.

  • 본 연구는 할로겐 화합물의 첨가가 in vitro 상의 반추위 발효성상과 메탄생성에 미치는 영향에 대한 효과를 규명하고자 실시하였다. Italian rye grass 및 배합사료를 6:4의 비율로 급여한 반추위 cannula가 시술된 홀스타인에서 반추위액을 채취하여 사용하였고, 채취된 반추위액은 분쇄된 timothy (대조구; C)에 bromochloromethane (BCM구), 2-Bromoethanesulfonic acid (BES구), 3-Bromopropanesulfonic acid (BPS구), chloroform (CLF구) 및 Pyromellitic diimide (PMDI구)의 5가지 할로겐 화합물을 각각 1 ppm씩 첨가하여 in vitro 배양하였다. pH는 6.72에서 6.25 정도로 배양시간이 경과함에 따라 낮아지는 경향을 나타내었고, 배양 48시간에는 처리구간 차이가 없었다. 배양 48시간 후의 총 가스 발생량은 처리구간 유의적인(p<0.05) 차이는 없었고, BPS구를 제외한 모든 처리구에서의 메탄 발생량은 대조구에 비해 유의적으로(p<0.05) 감소하였다. 배양 12시간에서의 총 휘발성 지방산 및 propionic acid의 발생량은 처리구가 대조구에 비해 유의적으로(p<0.05) 높았다. 본 실험의 결과, 할로겐 화합물의 첨가는 반추위 내의 pH, 건물 소화율, 미생물 수 및 총 가스 발생량의 발효 성상에는 영향을 주지 않으면서 메탄의 발생량이 감소 되었다. 실험 결과를 종합해 보면, 할로겐 화합물 첨가는 반추위 내 pH, 가스 발생량, 반추위 미생물 성장량 및 propionic acid 모두 증가하였으며, 반추위내 메탄생성을 억제하였다. 앞으로 할로겐화합물과 다른 메탄억제 물질과 혼합하여 반추위 내 메탄생성 억제에 관한 구체적인 연구가 필요한 것으로 생각된다.
