This study was focused on the estimations of air pollutants, such as PM(Particulate matters), SOx(Sulfur Oxides), $CO_2$(Carbon diOxides) and NOx(Nitrogen Oxides), from a diesel propulsion engine installed on a naval vessel. Legislative and regulatory actions for exhaust emissions from ships are being strengthened in international communities and national governments to protect human health and the environment. In this context, various technologies have been developed from all of the nations of the world to meet strict standards. These regulations are based on commercial ship applications and according to size, but are not suitable for military naval vessels, which have much different engine operating conditions and hull architectures. Additionally, there is no international emission control system for military ships. Emission factors have been updated for commercial ship types from work at various research institutes; however, it is difficult to develop emission factors for military vessels because of their characteristics. In this paper, exhaust emissions from diesel engines installed on naval vessels under steady navigation condition were estimated with emission inventory methodology applied to ocean going vessels using fuel-based methods and fuel sulfur content analysis.

Non-thermal plasma technology for air pollution control, which are NOx, SOx, VOCs, soot, etc., is reviewed. In the early parts of the paper, generation of non-thermal plasma and plasma chemical process are introduced to provide an appropriate plasma condition (electron energy density) for treating air pollutions. Recent results on numerical simulation, optical diagnostics, and gas treatment are provided to characterize an optimal design of plasma generation and plasma chemical process. These data are also helpful to understand unique features of non-thermal plasma process that is achieved with relatively low temperature conditions, i.e. low enthalpy conditions of the treated gas molecules. In the later parts of the paper, several examples of recently developed non-thermal plasma techniques are illustrated, in which technical and economical assessments of the present techniques are provided.

고체산화물 연료전지(Solid Oxide Fuel Cell이하 SOFC)는 연료가 갖는 화학에너지를 연소과정 없이, 공기와 H2, CO, CH4와 같은 환원성 가스를 공급받아 $600{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$에서 전기화학적 반응을 통하여 직접 전기를 얻는 방식이다. SOFC는 $700^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서 고체산화물이 연료와 공기가 반응하여 전기와 열을 동시에 생산하기 때문에 carnot cycle의 제한을 받지 않아 발전효율이 40% 이상으로 고효율이고, NOx 및 SOx를 배출하지 않아 무공해이며, moving parts가 없어 소음이 나지 않고, 건설과 증설이 지역이나 기후 조건에 제약 없이 용이하고, 다양한 용량이 가능하며, 고가의 백금 촉매를 사용하지 않으며, 수소, 석탄가스, 천연가스 등의 연료를 사용할 수 있는 장점이 있음, 또한 다향한 형태로 제작할 수 있으며 전해질이 고체에서 전해질 손실 및 보충에 문제가 없고 타 연료전지에 비해 개질기가 필요 없어 발전시스템이 간단하고 경량화가 가능하다. 전사법은 paste를 제작하여 전사용지에 Screen printing하여 건조 후 coating하는 방법으로 기존의 여러 coating 방법보다 제작이 용이하고 소재의 크기, 두께조절이 간편하며, 구성층의 표면조도나 굴곡에 대응이 용이한 방법이다. 본 실험에서는 paste 제조, 전사법을 이용하여 Anode, AFL, Electrolyte, CFL, Cathode전사지를 제작하고 이를 세라믹 평관형 지지체에 변수로 두께 조건별 Coating 한 후 $1400^{\circ}C$ 소결을 진행하여 SEM 분석으로 미세구조 관찰, 출력특성 및 Impedance을 확인하였다.

A thorough inventory of ship emissions, particularly ship's emission of in-port area is necessary to identify significant sources of exhaust gases such as NOx, SOx, PM, and CO₂ and trends in emission levels over time, and reduce their serious effects on the environment and human health. Therefore, the goal of this study is to assess the volume of emissions from ships in Mokpo port, which serves as a gateway to the southwest coast of Korea, using a bottom-up methodology and data from the automatic identification system (AIS) and the Korean Port Management Information System (Port-MIS). In this work, an analysis of ship movement utilizing AIS data and an actual set of data on ship specification were gathered. By examining ship movement using AIS data, We also proposed a new approach for identifying cruising/maneuvering mode. Finally, the results were classified by ship operating mode, by exhaust gas, by ship type, and by berth, which provides a thorough and in-depth analysis of the air pollution caused by ships in Mokpo port.

From 1 January 2020, the limit for Sulphur in fuel oil used on board ships operating outside designated emission control areas will be reduced to 0.5 %. This regulation by international maritime organization (IMO) is able to significantly reduce the amount of Sulphur oxides (SOx) discharging from ships and should have environmental advantages and health for all over the world. To meet the regulation, in these days, wet scrubber system is being actively developed. However, this process leads to make washing wastewater. In this study, we evaluated ion exchange resin system in accordance with scrubber wastewater discharge regulation by IMO. Theoretical wastewater used as feed solution of lab scale water treatment systems. The results revealed that nitrate ion was removed selectively in spite of high TDS wash wastewater solution depending on ion exchange resin property. Moreover, it was possible to improve efficiency of the system by optimizing operating conditions.
