본 연구는 저온 플라즈마 탈질 기술의 전력소모량 절감과 처리율 향상을 모색하고자 저온 플라즈마 조건에서 NOx와 반응제의 반응 특성을 고찰하였다. 실험은 $20Nm^3/hr$의 실제 배가스와 wire-plate type 플라즈마 반응기를 이용하여 진행되었으며, 반응제로는 파라핀계와 올레핀계 탄화수소 및 $NH_3$를 사용하였다. 저온 플라즈마 조건에서 올레핀계 탄화수소는 파라핀계 탄화수소에 비하여 NO의 산화에 탁월한 효과를 보여 다량의 $NO_2$를 생성할 뿐만 아니라 미량의 CO도 생성하였다. 또한 NOx의 초기농도가 높아지면 NO의 산화율은 감소할 뿐만 아니라 올레핀계 탄화수소의 소모량도 두드러진 증가를 보였다. 한편 $NH_3$은 저온 플라즈마 조건에서 NO와의 환원반응이 촉진되지 않았지만 올레핀계 탄화수소에 의하여 산화된 $NO_2$의 제거에는 효과적인 경향을 보였다.

양돈 폐수로부터 NH₃를 제거하기 위해서 양돈 폐수의 무게 대비 MgO(wt. %)의 양을 변화시키면서 양돈 폐수에 주입하였다. 24시간 동안 폭기시키면서 MgO (0.8 wt. %)로 처리한 양돈 폐수는 미처리 양돈 폐수에 비하여 NH₃ 가스 발생량이 75.5% 감소하였으며, 1개월 동안 밀폐된 상태에서도 NH₃ 가스가 거의 발생하지 않았다. 본 연구에서 사용한 MgO는 양돈 폐수의 pH를 상승시켜 NH₃가 가스 형태로 탈기될 수 있는 조건을 제공해 주었으며, 과량 주입할 경우에도 호기성 미생물 활동에 악영향을 줄 수 있는 pH 10.5를 초과하지 않았다. 양돈 폐수에서 제거되지 않고 남아 있는 NH₄⁺는 인산과 MgO를 첨가하여 스트루바이트의 형태로 침전시켜 제거하였다. 스트루바이트를 합성하기 위해서 NH₄⁺의 몰비와 동일하게 인산과 MgO를 주입하고 황산을 첨가하여 양돈 폐수의 초기 pH를 5로 조정한 후 점진적으로 폐수의 pH를 상승시켰다. pH 6에서 흰 침전물 소위 스트루바이트가 생성되기 시작하여 pH 10까지 지속적으로 합성이 이루어졌다. 총 86.1%의 NH₄⁺ 제거 중에서 62.4%가 약산성인 pH 6에서 제거되었다. 침전물 중에 스트루바이트의 존재를 XRD로 조사하였고 그 결과 pH 6에서 침전물이 스트루바이트의 결정성을 갖는다고 확인되었다. pH 7~10인 조건에서는 스트루바이트가 비결정질 형태로 존재하며, pH가 11인 이상에서는 생성된 스트루바이트가 완전히 붕괴되었다. 침전물 내에서 스트루바이트의 수득률은 에너지 분산형 X-ray, 열중량분석기, 원소분석기의 결과치를 바탕으로 하여 68%~84%임을 확인할 수 있었다. 만약 NH₃가 제거된 양돈 폐수를 건조 퇴비에 뿌려 부숙하게 된다면 퇴비의 부숙 기간 동안 NH₃로 인한 악취를 상당히 감소시킬 수 있을 것이다. 이와 더불어, MgO로 처리한 양돈 폐수는 가축 퇴비에 인과 질소를 보충하는 역할을 담당할 수 있을 것이다. 앞으로도 본 연구를 계속적으로 진행하여 국내에서 친환경퇴비를 생산할 수 있는 기틀을 마련하고자 한다.

Leucaena silage was supplemented with different levels of molasses and urea to study its nutritive value and in vitro rumen fermentation efficiency. The ensiling study was randomly assigned according to a $3{\times}3$ factorial arrangement in which the first factor was molasses (M) supplement at 0%, 1%, and 2% of crop dry matter (DM) and the second was urea (U) supplement as 0%, 0.5%, and 1% of the crop DM, respectively. After 28 days of ensiling, the silage samples were collected and analyzed for chemical composition. All the nine Leucaena silages were kept for study of rumen fermentation efficiency using in vitro gas production techniques. The present result shows that supplementation of U or M did not affect DM, organic matter, neutral detergent fiber, and acid detergent fiber content in the silage. However, increasing level of U supplementation increased crude protein content while M level did not show any effect. Moreover, the combination of U and M supplement decreased the content of mimosine concentration especially with M2U1 (molasses 2% and urea 1%) silage. The result of the in vitro study shows that gas production kinetics, cumulation gas at 96 h and in vitro true digestibility increased with the increasing level of U and M supplementation especially in the combination treatments. Supplementation of M and U resulted in increasing propionic acid and total volatile fatty acid whereas, acetic acid, butyric acid concentrations and methane production were not changed. In addition, increasing U level supplementation increased $NH_3$-N concentration. Result from real-time polymerase chain reaction revealed a significant effect on total bacteria, whereas F. succinogenes and R. flavefaciens population while R. albus was not affected by the M and U supplementation. Based on this study, it could be concluded that M and urea U supplementation could improve the nutritive value of Leucaena silage and enhance in vitro rumen fermentation efficiency. This study also suggested that the combination use of M and U supplementation level was at 2% and 1%, respectively.

The NOx removal performance of the SCR process depends on various factors such as catalytic factors (catalyst composition, shape, space velocity, etc.), temperature and flow rate distribution of the exhaust gas. Among them, the uniformity of the flow flowing into the catalyst bed plays the most important role. In this study, the flow characteristics in the SCR reactor in the design stage were simulated using a three-dimensional numerical analysis technique to confirm the uniformity of the airflow. Due to the limitation of the installation space, the shape of the inlet duct was compared with the two types of inlet duct shape because there were many curved sections of the inlet duct and the duct size margin was not large. The effect of inlet duct shape, guide vane or mixer installation, and venturi shape change on SCR reactor internal flow, airflow uniformity, and space utilization rate of ammonia concentration were studied. It was found that the uniformity of the airflow reaching the catalyst layer was greatly improved when an inlet duct with a shape that could suppress drift was applied and guide vanes were installed in the curved part of the inlet duct to properly distribute the process gas. In addition, the space utilization rate was greatly improved when the duct at the rear of the nozzle was applied as a venturi type rather than a mixer for uniform distribution of ammonia gas.

Effect of organic-C on immobilization and nitrification patterns in acidic soil was examined during 20 weeks incubation period to verify if organic amendments such as composted material can increase soil retention of N by stimulating microbial immobilization of $NH_4^+$. Four treatments were laid out: control without fertilizer N and glucose (treatment code: S), ammonium sulfate (SN), ammonium sulfate with single glucose at the commencement (0 week) of incubation (SNG), and ammonium sulfate with double glucose at 0 and 4 weeks of incubation (SNGG). Glucose application (SNG) significantly increased microbial immobilization of $NH_4^+$ within 1 week of incubation over SN. Immobilization was followed by remineralization thereafter; however, second-application of glucose (SNGG) restored $NH_4^+$ immobilization. At the same time, nitrification was significantly inhibited by glucose application as indicated by consistently low $NO_3^-$ concentration in SNG and SNGG soils, suggesting that microbial assimilation of $NH_4^+$ is predominant compared to nitrification when available C-source is abundant. These results suggest application of chemical fertilizer-N with organic amendment would have beneficial effect on soil-N retention and environmental conservation by reducing production of $NO_3^-$ which is likely to be lost through leaching or denitrification.

Aluminum tri-butoxide was mixed with the water/ethanol solution and then chloroplatinic acid was added to the solution. The solution was dried at $100^{\circ}C$ for 15hrs to remove the solvent and water then it was calcined at $500^{\circ}C$. The catalyst was activated with a gas mixture. During the activation, the temperature was increased from $150^{\circ}C$ to $500^{\circ}C$. The necessary amount of urea was dissolved in 50mL water and injected. Aqueous urea solution was then mixed with the feed gas stream. At low temperatures, nitrogen containing compounds of urea decomposition are used as reductants in the reducton of $NO_X$. However at high temperatures the nitrogen containing compounds are oxidized to NO and $NO_2$ by oxygen instead of being used in the reduction. The activity of the catalyst was dependent on urea concentration in the feed stream when there was not adequate water vapor in the feed. The maximum conversion was shifted from $250^{\circ}C$ to $150^{\circ}C$ when water concentration was increased from 2 to 17%. It seems that the maximum temperature shifts to lower temperatures because the hydrolysis rate of HNCO increases with water, resulting in higher amounts of $NH_3$.

This paper discussed the effect of ammonia concentration adsorbed on fly ash for the ammonia emission as AAFA (Ammonia Adsorbed Fly Ash) produced from coal fired plants due to operation of NOx reduction technologies was landfilled with distilled or sea water at closed and open systems, respectively. Ammonia bisulfate and sulfates adsorbed on fly ash is highly water soluble. The pH of ammonium bisulfate and sulfate solution had significant effect on ammonia odor emission. The effect of temperature on ammonia odor emission from mixture was less than pH, the rate of ammonia emission increased with increased temperature when the pH conditions were kept at constant. Since AAFA increases the pH of solution substantially, $NH_3$ in the ash can release the ammonia order unless it is present at low concentration. $NH_4{^+}$ ion is unstable in fly ash and water mixtures of high pH at open system, which is changed to nitrite or nitrate and then released as ammonia gas. The proper conditions for < 20 ppm of ammonia concentration released from the AAFAs landfilled in ash pond were explored using an open system with sea water. It was therefore proposed that optimal operation to collect AAFA of less than 168 ppm ammonia at the electrostatic precipitator were controlled to ammonia slip with less than 5 ppm at SCR/SNCR installations, and, ammonia odor released from mixture of fly ash of 168 ppm ammonia with sea water under open system has about 20 ppm.
