Numerical analysis for the combustion flow in the combustion chamber of incineration system has been carried out in order to acquire the basic design capability of incineration system. Established mathematical model was applied to the performance prediction of the pre-designed combustion chamber of commercial plant. Especially, combustion characteristics and the variation of flow pattern have been deeply discussed in accordance with secondary air injection. Secondary air injection was effective for the turbulent mixing between air and carbon monoxide/volatile matter resulting in considerably reduced CO content at the exit. Secondary air injection was found to be one of the key design parameters because the size of recirculation zone could be changed with the variation of injection characteristics.

The integrated solid waste management for Seoul Metropolitan city can be established on the basis of the following hierarchy of priorities: 1. Efforts for source reduction should be propelled by both government and citizens to achieve the effects of resource conservation. The adequate production and consumption which are environmentally amenable and sustainable can be induced by the reasonable imposition of deposit money for waste treatment to one-time use products. To accomplish source reduction effectively, the induction of legal and institutional regulation of producer and consumer participation is requisite. 2. For resource recovery, wastes generated should be recycled as far as practicable. Community residents are responsible to separate discharge, the authorities concerned have responsibility of separate collection, and recycling industry should be assissted through tax reduction and financing. Resource separation facilities can be constructed at Kimpo Metropolitan landfill site for wastes not separately collected due to some unavoidable circumstances. 3. Garbage should be composted. Garbage is uneconomical for incineration, because it has high moisture content and low calorie, thus there is no reason for the incineration of garbage even though garbage is classified into combustibles. Composting facilities can be located at sites which are not densely populated and easily accessible to transportation, for example, Kimpo Metropolitan landfill site. Compost produced can be managed by the authorities for the use of fertilizer to a green tract of suburban land and farms. 4. Nonhazardous combustible wastes not recyclable can be utilized for thermal recovery at the incinerators which are completely equipped with pollution control devices. According to the trend of local autonomy and the equity principle of local autonomous entities, incineration facilities of minimal capacity required can be constructed at each districts of Seoul Metropolitan city which have organized local assembly. In case of Yangcheon district, the economically combustible waste quantity is about 260 tons/day which exceeds 150 tons/day, the incineration capacity of existing facility. But, from now on, waste quantity can be reduced substantially by the intensive efforts of citizens for source reduction and recycling and the institutional support of administrative organizations. Especially, it is indispensable for the government to constitute institutional and technological bases that can recycle paper and plastics form 43% of waste generated. A good time for constructing of incineration facilities for municipal solid waste can be postponed to the time that pollution control technologies of domestic enterprises are fully developed to satisfy the standards of air pollution prevention, because the life expectancy of Kimpo Metropolitan landfill site is about 25 years. Within this period, institutional improvements and technological advancements can be attained, while the air qual. ity of Seoul Metropolitan city can be ameliorated to the level to afford incineration facilities. 5. For final disposal, incombustibles and ash are landfilled sanitarily at Kimpo Metropolitan landfill site.

최근 들어 지속적인 폐기물 발생량의 증가와 화석 연료 고갈 문제를 해결하기 위해 폐기물을 이용한 열에너지 회수에 대한 관심이 증가 하고 있다. 에너지 회수를 위한 폐기물 처리공정으로 소각이 가장 많이 이용되고 있으나 소각 시 발생되는 대기오염물질을 처리하기 위한 공정 설계 및 설치비용이 많이 소요된다. 본 연구에서는 화학공정을 모사하는 software인 Aspen plus를 이용하여 실제 산업폐기물 소각로와 배가스처리 공정을 모사해 보았다. 소각공정은 폐기물 연소를 위한 1차 연소와 2차 연소, urea를 이용하여 $NO_x$를 환원시키는 SNCR공정과 연소시 발생하는 에너지 회수를 위한 스팀 생산 공정으로 구성되어 있다. 연소시 발생하는 산성가스(HCl, $SO_2$)를 제거하기 위하여 슬러리 상태의 $Ca(OH)_2$를 주입하였으며 산성가스 중화시 생성되는 부산물과 ash는 bag filter에서 제거하는 것으로 모사 하였다. 모사결과는 실제 산업폐기물 소각로의 배가스 처리 효율과 비교적 잘 일치하였으며 또한 장래 배가스 처리 시스템의 효율을 예측하는데도 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The number of visiters to Bukhan Mt. national park, generation quantity of solid waste and collection system were researched to consider a counterplan for the pollution control of the national park and study for developing the effective treatment of solid waste was tried through the proximate analysis of each component containing. Results obtained in this study were summerized as follows; The great part of visitors go on an excursion to the Bukhan Mt. national park during July and August and also, the solid waste was generated nearly a half of the total amount at the same period. The major collection facilities in the national park were waste basket and incineration box. But the incineration box was too large in volume and very far in distance, and its collection period was irregular, so it was cause to the congestion of solid waste and bad smell and dirty. Therefore, to complete collection of solid waste, we must set up the waste basket which able to find within 40～50m from the origination place of solid waste and induce the visitors to throw the solid waste. It was obtained as moisture content: 48.5 wt%, volatile solid: 28.4wt％, fixed solid: 23.1 wt％, lower heating value: 1,320kca1/kg from experimental analysis of solid waste. According to this analysis, the incineration operation is possible, but the generation quantity of solid waste was too small to construct incineration plant for heat recovery. It was found that it is suitable for the aerobic composting by mixing with the night soil which generate in the national park after the recovery of resources such as metals, glasses and plastics.

The current study involved the calculation of air pollutant emission factors (EFs) generated from the incineration of agricultural residues. The process included sample collection, weight measurement, moisture measurement, incineration system configuration, and concentration measurement. The average CO emission factor of gaseous air pollutants from the incineration of barley and wheat agricultural residues was calculated as 0.08289 kg/kg and 0.06665 kg/kg, respectively, whereas the average NO_X emission factor for barley and wheat agricultural residues was determined to be 0.00518 kg/kg and 0.00185 kg/kg, respectively. In the existing air pollutant emission calculation manual, the EF is presented only for barley. Therefore, in this study, we have introduced the EF for wheat, previously absent in the calculation manual. Additionally, the air pollutant calculation manual presents the EF of air pollutants as one value, but in this study, EF values corresponding to 2.5% and 97.5% were presented in consideration of the distribution of experimental values as shown in EMEP/EEA data.

Objectives: Because the amount of medical waste (i.e., health-care waste) generated in Korea is rapidly increasing and social concern against its safety is widespread, a number of issues related with medical wastes are being discussed. The purpose of this study is to compare diverse medical waste management systems worldwide and propose future directions of a medical waste management system in Korea. Methods: Literature review was conducted mainly on the WHO, and developed countries such as the European Union (Germany, Belgium and UK), Japan and the United States. For these countries, the data with respect to their systems for medical waste management ranging from the definition of medical waste to the whole processes of collection, transportation and disposal were summarized and compared. Results: The terminology and classification of medical wastes were not consistent for WHO recommendation, EU, Japan, US and Korea. Comparison of the collection, storage, transportation and disposal of medical waste showed that Korea had rather stronger regulations for medical waste management compared to developed countries including Belgium (Flanders region), Germany, Japan and the US. Considering that developed countries adopt rather flexible disposal system especially for general medical wastes which pose lower possibility of infection, Korean government could consider diversifying disposal methods other than incineration. It may also be very important to try to reduce the amount of medical wastes and enough capacity for off-site incineration are secured. Conclusion: Our study of international comparisons suggests that it is necessary to continue to identify advantages and disadvantages of the current medical waste management systems and establish more effective one in Korea.

최근 대기환경규제의 강화로 화학공장에서 발생하는 폐가스를 소각 처리하는 경우가 증대되고 있다. 이러한 소각설비는 저장탱크 상부와 배관을 통해 연결되어 화염을 통하여 폐가스를 연소 소각시키기 때문에, 배관을 따라 화염이 역화될 경우에는 치명적인 사고로 연결될 수 있다. 본 연구는 아크릴산 제조공정의 소각시스템에서 발생한 중대산업사고에 대해 폭발의 3요소와 화염의 전파 원인을 분석하여 사고 예방대책 및 안전성 향상 방안을 다음과 같이 제시하였다. 첫째, 소각시스템의 송풍기를 재 가동하기 전에는 공기 또는 불활성 가스로 충분히 희석하여 폭발을 예방하여야 한다. 둘째, 폭굉으로 전이된 화염이 저장탱크로 전파되지 않도록 소각설비의 전단 및 저장탱크 상부에 폭굉용 화염방지기를 설치하는 것이 필요하다. 섯째, 폭연용 화염방지기를 그대로 사용할 경우에는 그 전단에 파열판을 설치하거나 저장탱크 상부와 소각설비의 배관을 후드식으로 연결하여 폭굉으로 전이된 화염을 저장탱크 밖으로 분출시켜야 한다. 마지막으로, 소각설비에 연결된 송풍기의 제어반(MCC)에 순간정전 보상장치인 시간지연계전기(TDR: time delay relay)등을 설치하여 순간정전 후에도 자동으로 재가동될 수 있도록 조치해야 한다.
