A porous photocatalyst concrete filter was successfully produced to remove NOx, by mixing TiO₂ photocatalyst with lightweight aerated concrete. Ultra Fine Bubbles were used to form continuous pores inside the porous photocatalytic concrete filter, which was mixed via a bubble generation experiment. The optimal mixing condition was determined to be with 4 % of the bubble generation agent B. NO removal specimens were prepared for various photocatalytic loading conditions, and the specimen containing 3 % P-25 removed NO at a concentration of 1.03 µmol in 1 h. The NO removal rate of the porous photocatalytic concrete filter prepared in this study was 10.99 %. This photocatalytic filter performance was more than 9 times the amount of NO removed by a general photocatalytic filter. The porous photocatalyst concrete filter for removing NOx developed in this study can be applied to various construction sites and the air quality can be solved by reducing NOx contributing to the formation of fine particles.

Flue gas recirculation (FGR) is a method widely adopted to control NOx in combustion system. The recirculated flue gas decreases flame temperature and reaction rate, resulting in the decrease in thermal NO production. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the recirculated flue gas in fuel stream, that is, the fuel induced recirculation (FIR), could enhance a much improved reduction in NOx per unit mass of recirculated gas, as compared to the conventional FGR in air. In the present study, the effect of FGR/FIR methods on NOx reduction in turbulent swirl flames by using N$_2$ and CO$_2$ as diluent gases to simulate flue gases. Results show that CO$_2$ dilution is more effective in NO reduction because of large temperature drop due to the larger specific heat of CO$_2$ compared to N$_2$ and FIR is more effective to reduce NO emission than FGR when the same recirculation ratio of dilution gas is used.

To improve the performance of plasma-DeNOx catalyst, a research on active system was performed experimentally. Two hydrocarbons, propane and diesel, were used as a reductant in this study. First, using propane, basic performances of plasma-DeNOx catalyst such as the effects of plasma and C/N ratio were measured at the various engine operating conditions. NOx conversion of catalyst was improved as plasma power or C/N ratio was increased. Next, diesel was injected in the exhaust gas flow as a reductant. The first test using diesel as a reductant is spray visualization in a high temperature flow and spray images were utilized for analysis of posterior test results. To evaluate the effect of an injection direction, it was compared with 6 installation methods of diesel injector due to THC concentrations at the inlet of plasma. From the results, injector was installed toward downstream direction below the pipe. Then, basic performances of plasma-DeNOx catalyst with various injection quantities were measured. As an injection quantity was increased, $NO_2$ conversion of plasma reactor was increased but NOx conversion of catalyst was nearly zero. This was because NOx conversion of catalyst had slowed as time goes by due to black particles which had been adhered to the catalyst.

비예혼합 대향류화염에서 산소부화에 따른 NOx 생성특성에 관한 수치해석이 수행되었다. 순산소의 연소과정에서 공기침투에 의한 부득이한 질소 유입의 상황을 체계적으로 고려하기 위하여, 산화제의 $O_2$는 체적비 21%에서 100%까지 변화되었다. 결과적으로 NO 배출지수$(EI_{NO})$는 산소부화율 75%까지 증가하다가 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보여준다. 이러한 경향은 화염온도, 화염두께 및 체류시간 보다는 NOx 생성과 관련된 $N_2$ 소모율 변화에 의해 설명될 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 특히 N+NO=$N_2+O$ 반응이 가장 크게 기여함을 알 수 있었다.

The characteristics of combustion and emissions in multi-staged oil burner have been experimentally studied for the various range of equivalence ratios, drop sizes and fuel formulations. Malvern system was used to measure droplet size of fuel. Light fuel oil and light fuel oil doped with pyridine($C_5H _5N$) were used to investigate the effects on fuel NOx emission. The emissions of NO and CO in exhaust gas and the flame temperatures were measured by the gas analyzer and thennocouples. NOx emissions were increased by increasing the excess air ratio (range:$lambda=1.1-1.4$) or decreasing the SMD of droplet in single-staged burner. In comparison with the single-staged burner, the emission of NOx in multi-staged burner was reduced by 50% but CO emission was slightly increased. It is found that multi-staged burner has a good capability in reducing thermal NOx resulting from the distributed heat release rate and lower flame temperature in fuel-rich and fuel-lean combustion zone. Moreover, the fuel NOx emission of the multi-staged burner is lower than that of single-staged burner, because multi-staged burner has fuel rich zone where fuel N is converted to $N_2$ more than NO. In 3-staged burner, the percentage of each stage combustion air have strong influence on emission characteristics. It is also found that NOx emission can be reduced by decreasing inner and outer air percentage or increasing middle air flow rate and CO emission is vice versa.

본 연구에서는 대류권 오존과 전구체인 nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs)의 광화학반응 관계를 살펴보고자, Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI)와 TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument(TROPOMI)의 nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), formaldehyde (HCHO), OMI/Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) tropospheric column ozone (TCO), Airkorea 지상측정 ozone (O₃) 자료를 분석하였다. OMI 위성자료를 이용하여 2006년부터 2020년까지 장기 변화 경향을 살펴보면 TCO는 동북아시아 지역 전체적으로 증가하는 추세를 보였으며, NO₂는 꾸준히 감소하고 HCHO는 계속해서 증가하는 경향성을 보였다. 또한 오존 민감도의 지표인 formaldehyde nitrogen dioxide ratio (FNR)은 점점 증가하고 있으며, 이는 VOC-limited 영역이 감소하고 있음을 의미한다. 본 연구는 한국 지역 오존의 지속적인 증가 원인을 밝히기 위해서 최근 4년 기간(2019~2022년)의 TROPOMI FNR과 지상 측정 O₃를 이용하여 국내 오존 생성 민감도 분석을 진행하였다. 기존 선행연구들과 동일하게 국내 대도시 지역에서 VOC-limited 및 Transitional 영역이 나타났으며, 그 외에도 국내 주요 발전소가 위치한 지역에서 VOC-limited 영역이 나타났다. VOC-limited 영역, 즉 NOx가 과도하게 포화되어 있는 영역에서는 NOx 배출 감소가 오히려 적정 반응을 약화시켜 국내 오존 농도 증가를 유도했을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 VOC-limited 영역이 나타나는 지역에서 오존 농도를 감소시키기 위해서는 NOx의 배출보다 단기적으로 VOC 배출을 감소시켜야 함을 시사한다.

The combustion characteristics of a low NOx burner using reburning technology have been experimentally studied. The return burner usually has three distinct reaction zones which include the primary combustion zone, the reburn zone and the burnout zone by provided secondary air. NOx is mainly produced in a primary combustion zone and a certain portion of NOx can be converted to nitrogen in the rebury zone. In the burnout zone, the unburned mixtures are completely oxidated by supplying secondary air. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) was used as main and reburn fuels. The experimental parameters investigated involve the main/reburn fuel ratio, the primary/secondary air ratio, and the injection location of rebury fuel and secondary air. When the amount of return fuel reaches to the 20-30% of the total fuel used, the overall NO reduction of 50% is achieved. The secondary air is injected by two different ways including vertical and parallel injection. The injector of secondary air is located at the downstream region of furnace for a vertical-injection mode, which is also placed at the inlet primary-air injection region for a parallel-injection mode. In case of the vertical injection of the secondary air flow, the NOx formation of stoichiometric condition at a primary combustion zone is nearly independent of the rebury conditions (locations, fuel/air ratios) while the NOx emission of the fuel-lean condition is considerably influenced by the reburn conditions. In case of the parallel injection of the secondary air, the NOx emission is sensitive to the air ratio rather than the fuel ratio and the reburning process often coupled with the multiple air-staging and fuel-staging combustion processes.

It was numerically studied that NOx emission characteristics of confined $CH_{4}$ jet flames with the variation of the diameter of inner fuel nozzle, the flow rate of $CH_{4}$ and equivalence ratio. Parabolic type equations were adopted in the calculation and GRI-2.1I mechanism was used for the chemical reaction. NOx emission index (EINOx) was introduced to evaluate NOx emission quantitatively in parametrically varied flames and the contribution of Thermal and Prompt NO mechanism was discussed. The results showed that Total EINOx varied sensitively with the variation of the flow rate of$CH_{4}$ but it was not sensitive to the variation of the diameter of inner fuel nozzle. Thermal EINOx showed the similar tendency to total EINOx and Prompt EINOx showed insensitivity to the variation of the diameter of inner fuel nozzle and the flow rate of $CH_{4}$.
