만경·동진강 하구와 과부영양의 연못에서 식물플랑크톤이 요소의 분해시 갖고 있 는 적응 기작을 연구하기 위해, 요소 분해에 있어서 요소 농도의 의존성, 빚의 영향, 그리고 암모늄 이온 농도의 증가에 의한 억제 효과서 연구하였다. 하구에서 크기 구배 의 실험 결과는 박테리아가 요소 분해에 있어서 작은 (14%) 역할을 함을 나타냈다. 그 러나 과부영양의 연못에서는 박테리아에 의한 요소 분해의 역할이 증가하는 것으로 보 였다. 자연산 식물플랑크톤 군집에 의한 요소의 분해는 넓은 범위의 농도(7.7 mM까 지)에 있어서 monophasic 또는 biphasic kinetics를 나타냈다. 요소의 분해 속도는 높은 암모륨 이온이 존재시와 빚이 없는 상태에서 감소하였다. 이러한 연구 결과들은 식물플랑크톤에 의한 요소분해의 적응에 대한 이해가 현장에서 요소 분해의 시공간적 변이와 질소 순환에서 요소의 중요성을 이해할 때 도움이 될 것으로 제시하였다.

In order to design efficient Urea Decomposition Chamber (UDC) for the Low Pressure (LP) Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system, numerical simulations were conducted with respect to various design parameters. The design parameters examined in this simulation include the chamber diameter, inlet and outlet shape of chamber, and urea injection point. Reaction kinetics for the urea decomposition was proposed and validated with the experimental data in the range of $300{\sim}450^{\circ}C$. The effects of design parameters on the performance of UDC were evaluated by the calculated urea conversion and pressure drop. As a result, the local optimum design values were derived by the parametric study.

Diel change in urea decomposition activity of epiphytic algae on Phragmites stems and phytoplankton in a shallow littoral reed zone in the south basin of Lake Biwa was investigated with an in situ technique using $^{14}C$-labelled urea. The daily rates of urea decomposition (sum of urea carbon incorporation rate and $CO_2$ liberation rate) by epiphytic and planktonic algae were calculated as 180 ${\mu}$ mole urea surface shoot area $m^{-2}\;day^{-1}$ and 210 ${\mu}$ mole urea $m^{-3}\;day^{-1}$. The chlorophyll a specific urea decomposition rates of epiphytic and planktonic algae were 4.7 to 6.4 and 4.4 to 6.2 ${\mu}$ mole urea mg chl. $a^{-1}$ incubation $time^{-1}$ in daytime and 4.2 to 5.7 and 2.4 to 3.5 ${\mu}$ mole urea mg chl. $a^{-1}\;time^{-1}$ in nighttime, respectively. High values were obtained during 12:00 ${\sim}$ 18:00 and low values during 00:00 ${\sim}$ 06:00 for both epiphytic and planktonic algal communities. A clear diel periodicity in the urea decomposing activity of the planktonic algae was observed. The activity of the epiphytic algae, on the other hand, showed no destinctive variation during a day. The present results indicate that epiphytic algae are one of the significant urea decomposers in a reed zone, and that the diel patterns are quite difference between both algal communities.

An experimental study has been carried out to investigate a thermal decomposition of urea solution at relative low temperature with a lab-scaled exhaust pipe. The conversion efficiency of reductant considered with both ammonia and HNCO related with the urea injection quantity, inflow gas velocity and temperature. The conversion efficiency of ammonia was larger than that of HNCO under all experimental conditions unlike the theoretical thermolysis reaction.

만경·동진강 하구계에서 일차생산자의 질소 요구량과 질소계 영양염의 pool에서 차지하는 요소의 중요성을 이해하기 위해, 1992년 6월부터 5회에 걸쳐 요소 및 무기 질소계 영양염 농도와 요소의 분해 속도에 대한 측정을 실시하였다. 조사기간 동안 요 소의 농도는 검출 이하의 농도에서 12.5 ug-at. N 1/SUP -1/에 달하였다. 이는 전체총 질소계 영양염의 0∼96%(평균 11%)에 달하는 것으로, 총 질소계 영양염농도가 낮은 경 우에 요소는 그 상대적 중요성이 높았다. 요소는 주로netplankton에 의해 분해되었다. 수층내의 요소 분해속도의 수직 분포는 그 변이의 폭이 대개 3배 이내로 작았다. 이러 한 요소의 분해 속도는 일차생산의 질소 요구량의 0.2∼88.4%에 해당되는 것으로 추정 되었으며, 특히 일차생산이 낮은(<50mg C m/SUP -2/d/SUP -1/) 경우에 요소는 일차생 산자에 대한 질소의 매우 중요성 공급원으로 나타났다.

BACKGROUND: Application of urea may increase $CO_2$ emission from soils due both to $CO_2$ generation from urea hydrolysis and fertilizer-induced decomposition of soil organic carbon (SOC). The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of increasing urea application on $CO_2$ emission from soil and mineralization kinetics of indigenous SOC. METHODS AND RESULTS: Emission of $CO_2$ from a soil amended with four different rates (0, 175, 350, and 700 mg N/kg soil) of urea was investigated in a laboratory incubation experiment for 110 days. Cumulative $CO_2$ emission ($C_{cum}$) was linearly increased with urea application rate due primarily to the contribution of urea-C through hydrolysis to total $CO_2$ emission. First-order kinetics parameters ($C_0$, mineralizable SOC pool size; k, mineralization rate) became greater with increasing urea application rate; $C_0$ increased from 665.1 to 780.3 mg C/kg and k from 0.024 to 0.069 $day^{-1}$, determinately showing fertilizer-induced SOC mineralization. The relationship of $C_0$ (non-linear) and k (linear) with urea-N application rate revealed different responses of $C_0$ and k to increasing rate of fertilizer N. CONCLUSION(s): The relationship of mineralizable SOC pool size and mineralization rate with urea-N application rate suggested that increasing N fertilization may accelerate decomposition of readily decomposable SOC; however, it may not always stimulate decomposition of non-readily decomposable SOC that is protected from microbial decomposition.

In order to design a compact urea selective catalytic reduction system, numerical simulation was conducted by computational fluid dynamics tool. A swirl type static mixer and a mixing chamber were considered as mixing units in the system. It had great influence on flow characteristics and urea decomposition into ammonia. The mixer caused flow recirculation and high level of turbulence intensity, and the chamber increased residence time of urea-water-solution injected. Because of those effects, reaction rates of urea decomposition were enhanced in the region. When those mixing units were combined, it showed the maximum because the recirculation zone was significantly developed. $NH_3$ conversion was maximized in the zone due to widely distributed turbulence intensity and high value of uniformity index. It caused improvement of $NO_x$ reduction efficiency of the system. It was possible to reduce 55% length of the chamber and connecting pipe without decrease of $NO_x$ reduction efficiency.

The spray-induced mixing characteristics and thermal decomposition of aqueous urea solution into ammonia have been studied to design optimum sizes and geometries of the mixing chamber in SCR(Selective Catalytic Reduction) system. The cold flow tests about the urea-injection nozzle were performed to clarify the parameters of spray mixing characteristics such as mean diameter and velocity of drops and spray width determined from the interactions between incoming air and injected drops. Discrete particle model in Fluent code was adopted to simulate spray-induced mixing process and the experimental results on the spray characteristics were used as input data of numerical calculations. The simulation results on the spray-induced mixing were verified by comparing the spray width extracted from the digital images with the simulated Particle tracks of injected drops. The single kinetic model was adopted to predict thermal decomposition of urea solution into ammonia and solved simultaneously along with the verified spray model. The hot air generator was designed to match the flow rate and temperature of the exhaust gas of the real engines The measured ammonia productions in the hot air generator were compared with the numerical predictions and the comparison results showed good agreements. Finally, we concluded that the design capabilities for sizing optimum mixing chamber were established.

In upcoming Post Stage-V and Tier 5 regulations of construction machineries, nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions are strictly limited in cold start conditions. In response to this, a method of improving NOx conversion efficiency has been applied by installing an electric heating catalyst (EHC) in front of conventional urea-SCR systems so that the evaporation and thermal decomposition of urea-water solution can be promoted in cold start conditions. In this strategy, the evaporation and thermal decomposition of urea-water solution and corresponding NOx conversion efficiency are governed by temperature conditions inside the EHC. Therefore, characterizing the temperature distribution in the EHC under various operating conditions is crucial for the optimized operation and control of the EHC in Urea-SCR systems. In this study, a 1-D modeling analysis was performed to predict the heater surface temperature distribution in EHC under various operating conditions. The reliability of prediction results was verified by comparing them with measurement results obtained using an infrared (IR) camera. Based on 1-D analysis results, the effects of various EHC operation parameters on the heater surface temperature distribution were analyzed and discussed.
