Hazardous air pollutants(HAPs) in the atmosphere are regulated as major air pollutants in Korea by the Air Pollution Control Act. In order to manage and control HAPs, accurate standards, which are traceable to the International System of Units(SI), are required. In this study, primary standard gas mixtures(PSMs) of volatile organic compounds(VOCs) which are specified as HAPs were developed at $1{\mu}mol/mol$ levels. The selected fourteen VOCs include Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, m-Xylene, Styrene, o-Xylene, Chloroform, 1,1,2-Trichloroethane, Trichloroethylene, Tetrachloroethylene, 1,1-Dichloroethane, Carbon tetrachloride, 1,3-Butadiene, and Dichloromethane. The HAPs PSMs were gravimetrically prepared in aluminum cylinders and their consistency was verified within the relative expanded uncertainty of 0.71% (k=2). Potential adsorption loss onto the internal surface of cylinders was estimated by cylinder-to-cylinder division method. No adsorption loss was observed within the uncerainty of 0.53%. The long-term stability of the HAPs PSMs was evaluated comparing with freshly prepared HAPs PSMs. The HAPs PSMs were stable for one year within the uncertainty of 0.38%. The final uncertainty of the PSMs was determined by combining the preparation uncertainty, verification uncertainty, and stability uncertainty. Finally, traceable and stable HAPs PSMs at $1{\mu}mol/mol$ levels were developed with the uncertainty of less than 0.76% in high-pressure aluminum cylinders.

천연가스는 산업의 발전으로 인하여 수요가 계속 증가하고 있어 도입물량 부족 현상이 일어나 수급이 점차 불안정해질 것으로 예상된다. 액화천연가스 외에 파이프라인 천연가스 및 대체 천연가스등 다양한 형태의 가스 도입과 개발로 수요를 충당해야 할 필요성이 있다. 도입된 PNG의 성분과 농도를 정확하게 측정해야 한다. 이에 따른 천연가스 내에 있는 미량 성분인 탄화수소류($C_6-C_{10}$)의 정확한 측정이 요구되어 표준가스의 개발이 필수적이다. 이 연구에서 개발한 일차 표준물질에 대한 조성과 농도는 $10-30{\mu}mol/mol$의 헥산, 헵탄, 옥탄, 노난, 데칸이며 바탕가스는 메탄이다. 탄화수소류($C_6-C_{10}$)의 표준가스 제조는 각 성분 원료가스에 대한 순도분석이 완료된 가스를 ISO 6142에 근거하여 소급성이 있는 중량법으로 알루미늄 실린더에 제조하였다. 제조된 표준가스는 분석기로 표준가스간의 제조일치성, 실린더의 흡착성, 안정성 변화 및 불확도 평가를 하였다. 결과는 알루미늄 실린더에서 내부표면의 흡착 손실이 적고 장기 안정성이 매우 우수하다는 것을 알 수 있었고, 헥산, 헵탄, 옥탄, 노난, 데칸의 농도 $10-30{\mu}mol/mol$ 수준에서 불확도 0.79-1.63 %이내의 표준가스를 개발하였다.

액화석유가스(Liquefied Petroleum Gas)는 Propane(C₃H₈)과 Butane(C₄H₁₀)을 주성분으로 한 가스를 액화한 것으로 구분된다. LPG는 혼합 성분에 따라 품질의 차이가 커 성분 함량을 정확하게 측정하는 것이 중요하다. 이와 같은 물질은 혼합물의 성분별로 상온에서는 액체와 기체가 같이 공존해 정확한 측정이 까다롭다. 따라서 탄화수소의 성분별 농도의 측정 불확도가 높아 실제 함량 기준과 많은 차이가 발생하는 문제점을 안고 있다. 그러므로 탄화수소 물질의 조성과 정확한 농도 측정을 위해 혼합 액체 프로판 표준가스의 개발이 필요하였다. 혼합 액체 프로판 표준가스는 ISO-6142(2015)의 중량법으로 벨로즈형 정압실린더에 제조되었다. 제조한 4병의 표준가스에서 균질성이 GC-FID로 확인되었다. 제조 상대확장불확도는 0.01 % - 0.30 %, 균질성은 0.03 % - 0.25 %이었다. 이 혼합 액체 프로판 표준가스에서 중량법, 제조 일치성, 실린더 흡착 여부 및 장기 안정성에 대한 상대확장불확도는 0.26 % - 1.39 %(신뢰도 약 95 %, k=2)이내로 개발되었다.

Total impurity analysis of a primary standard solution is one of the essential procedures to determine an accurate concentration of the standard solution by the gravimetry. Bi impurity is determined in Pb standard solutions by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The direct nebulization of the Pb standard solution produces a significant amount of the Pb matrix-induced molecular ions which give rise to a serious spectral interference to the Bi determination. In order to avoid the spectral interference from the interferent $^{208}PbH^+$, the hydride generation method is employed for the matrix separation. The Bi hydride vapor is generated by reaction of the sample solution with 1% sodium borohydride solution. The vapor is then directed by argon carrier gas into the ICP after separation from the mixture solution in a liquid-gas separator made of a polytetrafluoroethylene membrane tube. The presence of 1000 ${\mu}$g/mL Pb matrix caused reduction of the bismuthine generation efficiency by about 40%. The standard addition method is used to overcome the chemical interference from the Pb matrix. Optimum conditions are investigated for the hydride-generation ICPMS. The detection limit of this method is 0.5 pg/mL for the sample solutions containing 1000 ${\mu}$g/mL Pb matrix.

Among biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) in the natural ecosystem, monoterpenes, along with isoprene, play important roles in atmospheric chemistry and make significant impacts on air pollution and climate change, especially due to their contribution to secondary organic aerosol production and photochemical ozone formation. It is essential to measure monoterpene concentrations accurately for understanding their oxidation processes, emission processes and estimation, and interactions between biosphere and atmosphere. Thus, traceable calibration standards are crucial for the accurate measurement of monoterpenes at ambient levels. However, there are limited information about developing calibrations standards for monoterpenes in pressured cylinders. This study describes about developing primary standard gas mixtures (PSMs) for monoterpenes at about 2 nmol/mol, near ambient levels. The micro-gravimetric method was applied to prepare monoterpene (${\alpha}$-pinene, 3-carene, R-(+)-limonene, 1,8-cineole) PSMs at $10{\mu}mol/mol$ and then the PSMs were further diluted to 2 nmol/mol level. To select an optimal cylinder for the development of monoterpene PSMs, three different kinds of cylinders were used for the preparation and were evaluated for uncertainty sources including long-term stability. Results showed that aluminum cylinders with a special internal surface treatment (Experis) had little adsorption loss on the cylinder internal surface and good long-term stability compared to two other cylinder types with no treatment and a special treatment (Aculife). Results from uncertainty estimation suggested that monoterpene PSMs can be prepared in pressured cylinders with a special treatment (Experis) at 2 nmol/mol level with an uncertainty of less than 4%.

In oder to analyze the effect of operating conditions on pulverized coal combustion, a numerical study is conducted at the pulverized coal combustor. Eulerian approach is used for the gas phase, whereas Lagrangian approach is used for the particle phase. Turbulence is modeled using standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model. The description of species transport and combustion chemistry is based on the mixture fraction/probability density function(PDF) approach. Radiation is modeled using P-l model. The turbulent dispersion of particles is modeled using discrete random walk model. Swirl number of secondary air affects the flame front, particle residence time and carbon conversion. Primary/Secondary air mass ratio also affects the flame front but little affects the carbon conversion and particle residence time. Air-fuel ratio only affects the flame front due to lack of oxygen. Radiation strongly affects the flame front and gas temperature distribution because pulverized coal flame of high temperature is considered.

Commercial gas stoves feed primary air to the burner and burn the fuel-air mixture in a partially premixed combustion. This mechanism produces carbon monoxide during combustion. In this study, design parameters of a commercial gas stove were optimized by considering the carbon monoxide emission. Gas consumption rate, carbon monoxide emission, and water boiling temperature as a heating performance were determined. Carbon monoxide emission was measured using a Korean Industrial Standards standard collector. Water boiling temperature was measured by first soaking the pot in water for approximately 10 min and then heating the pot filled with water. A thermocouple was installed inside the pot. Carbon monoxide increased as the nozzle diameter was increased and the burner-pot height was decreased. This result was due to the insufficient mixing between the fuel and air. Heating performance was enhanced when the nozzle diameter was increased and the burner-pot height was decreased. However, the heating performance deteriorated when the nozzle diameter was 1.8 mm and the burner-pot height was reduced to 50 mm. This phenomenon was due to the formation of a flame on the side of the pot. A merit factor was defined to find the optimal design parameters to satisfy gas consumption rate, carbon monoxide emission, and heating performance. Optimal design values were established to be a nozzle diameter of 1.5 mm and a burner-pot height of 60 mm.
