본 연구에서는 연료형 목재제품 중 국내 유통되고 있는 3종의 성형탄(숯가루 성형탄, 톱밥성형탄, 구멍탄착화용 성형탄)을 선정하여 연소특성, 유해물질 함량, 연소 시 발생되는 대기오염물질 배출 특성에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. 연소시 숯가루 성형탄이 톱밥성형탄보다 더 높은 일산화탄소를 발생시켰으며, 성형목탄의 연소 시 발생하는 대기오염물질 배출량을 대기환경보전법 배출허용기준과 비교 시 전체 제품의 질소·황산화물 배출 기준에 미치지 못하였다. 2019년 기준 배출 허용기준으로 일산화탄소 200 ppm, 질소 산화물 150 ppm, 황산화물 100 ppm이며, 이산화탄소 배출 기준은 변경되지 않았다. 본 연구에 의해 생성된 연소가스 분석을 기초 자료로 성형목탄의 연소 시 생성되는 대기오염물질의 배출 계산을 위한 표준에 대한 연구 및 성형목탄의 불완전 연소에 의해 생성되는 일산화탄소 저감에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Objectives: The aim of this research is to explore the total heavy metals from a coal-fired power plant burning bituminous coal with wood pellets due to the implementation of the Renewable Portfolio Standard policy (RPS, 10% of electricity from renewable energy resources by 2023). Methods: The research was carried out by collecting archival data and using the USEPA's AP-42 & EMEP/EEA compilation of emission factors for use in calculating emissions. The Monte Carlo method was also applied for carrying out the calculations of measurement uncertainty. Results: In this paper, the results are listed as follows. Sb was measured at 110 kg (2015) and calculated as 165 kg (2019) and 201 kg (2023). Cr was measured at 1,597 kg (2015) and calculated as 1,687 kg (2019) and 1,728 kg (2023). Cu was measured at 2,888 kg (2015) and calculated as 3,133 kg (2019) and 3,264 kg (2023). Pb was measured at 2,580 kg (2015) and calculated as 2,831 kg (2019) and 2,969 kg (2023). Mn was measured at 3,011 kg (2015) and calculated as 15,034 kg (2019) and 23,014 kg (2023). Hg was measured at 510 kg (2015) and calculated as 513 kg (2019) and 537 kg (2023). Ni was measured at 1,720 kg (2015) and calculated as 1,895 kg (2019) and 1,991 kg (2023). Zn was measured at 7,054 kg (2015) and calculated as 9,938 kg (2019) and 11,778 kg (2023). Se was measured at 7,988 kg (2015) and calculated as 7,663 kg (2019) and 7,351 kg (2023). Conclusion: This shows that most heavy metals would increase steadily from 2015 to 2023. However, Se would decrease by 7.9%. This analysis was conducted with EMEP/EEA's emission factors due to the limited emission factors in South Korea. Co-firewood pellets in coal-fired power plants cause the emission of heavy metals. For this reason, emission factors at air pollution control facilities would be presented and the replacement of wood pellets would be needed.

Renewable Portfolio Standards(RPS) is a regulation that requires a renewable energy generated from eco-friendly energy sources such as biomass, wind, solar, and geothermal. The RPS mechanism generally is an obligatory policy that places on electricity supply companies to produce a designated fraction of their electricity from renewable energies. The domestic companies to supply electricity largely rely on wood pellets in order to implement the RPS in spite of undesirable situation of lack of wood resources in Korea. This means that the electricity supply companies in Korea must explore new biomass as an alternative to wood. Palm kernel shell (PKS) and empty fruit bunch (EFB) as oil palm wastes can be used as raw materials used for making pellets after their thermochemical treatment like torrefaction. Torrefaction is a pretreatment process which serves to improve the properties including heating value and energy densification of these oil palm wastes through a mild pyrolysis at temperature typically ranging between 200 and $300^{\circ}C$ in the absence of oxygen under atmospheric pressure. Torrefaction of oil palms wastes at above $200^{\circ}C$ contributed to the increase of fixed carbon with the decrease of volatile matters, leading to the improvement of their calorific values over 20.9 MJ/kg (=5,000 kcal/kg) up to 25.1 MJ/kg (=6,000 kcal/kg). In particular, EFB sensitively responded to torrefaction because of its physical properties like fiber bundles, compared to PKS and hardwood chips. In conclusion, torrefaction treatment of PKS and EFB can greatly contribute to the implement of RPS of the electricity supply companies in Korea through the increased co-firing biomass with coal.

To reduce emissions from coal-fired power plants, researchers focusing on coal and biomass co-firing technology. Biomass, with its carbon-neutral nature and lower quantities of nitrogen and sulfur compared with coals, has a positive impact on coal-fired power generation. Many studies on the combustion of biomass have been conducted, but the study on the combustion characteristics of biomass char is limited. FERPM predicts char combustion characteristics with high accuracy by introducing experimental data-based parameters of biomass char and has not yet been applied in numerical simulation. In this study, FERPM is numerically applied to char combustion of wood pellets representing wood-based biomass and the combustion characteristics are compared with the kinetic/diffusion limited model, intrinsic model, and diffusion limited model.

Forest biomass can be used as various types of raw materials such as pulp, wood pellets, solid charcoals and so on. This paper estimates the nation wide amount of forest biomass based on the projection of forest areas for its effective and economic use. Several trend equations are used in projecting the forest areas. In 2009, the forest biomass arising from thinning is estimated be 6,591,575 $m^3$. The estimates of forest biomass in 2015 and 2018 are 6,375,627 $m^3$ and 6,284,779 $m^3$, respectively. Since the forest areas are projected to be declining, the biomass generated by thinning will decrease. This implies that the new alternatives for supplying raw materials for biofuels must be prepared before then.

In order to prevent global warming according to fossil fuel use, countries around the world are making efforts through the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Climate Change Convention. In addition, in order to prepare for high oil prices, researches such as the development of various renewable energy are being conducted. At present, the domestic production rate of energy sources in Korea is low at 18.1%, and power plants using forest biomass are being constructed to meet the domestic situation where 63% of the land is a forest. In 2015, the global production of wood pellets, a raw material for wood-based biomass power generation, was 28 million tons, up 7.7% from 2014, and has increased tenfold over the last decade. This is a result of increased demand for biomass. Korea is also increasing every year. However, biomass fly ash, an industrial by-product generated by biomass energy generation, is now being disposed of entirely, and there is little research to utilize it. Therefore, this paper will use biomass fly ash, an industrial by-product, which is currently being discarded due to a lack of separate treatment methods, as an admixture concept to contribute to solving environmental problems, developing new admixtures, improving quality, and seeking recycling plans.

본 연구에서는 RDF와 목재펠릿 그리고 폐목재, 폐섬유, 폐비닐 각각 폐기물로 반응속도를 분석하기 위해 열중량 감량 분석, 비등온 실험, 삼성분, 화학적 조성 분석, 발열량, 활성화 에너지(E) 기울기를 실험하고 값을 구하였다.고형연료의 각각의 삼성분을 비교하였을 때 RDF가 목재펠릿 보다 수분함량이 적게 나왔으며 발열량을 통해 각각의 폐기물 고형연료에서 연소반응 속도을 비교하여 보면 폐비닐의 연소반응이 제일 크게 나타났다. RDF와 목재펠릿을 비교해보면 회분의 차이는 목재펠릿이 좋다는 것을 알 수 있지만 활성화에너지로 비교하게 되면 RDF의 효율이 다른 4가지의 연료보다 좋다는 것을 알 수 있다. RDF는 승온 속도에 따라 차이가 있지만, $320{\sim}720^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 반응이 일어나는 것을 확인 할 수 있다.

Floating resin pellets including plastics were surveyed from 7 coastal beaches near Young-il Bay during summer and winter season on 1998 ~ 2000 year. Plastic fabrication materials in the survey were founded with 6 items using the following; resin pellets, plastic debris, styrofoams, cigar filters, wood pieces and charcoals. The results deduced in the areas are as follows: 1. The seasonal variability of the all debris is revealed that summer season were remarkably larger than those of winter. This is deduced it is attributed to meteorological effects, e.g, the seasonal wind strength, current vectors and resorts of crowded people for beach enjoy. And the distribution of plastic debris is Pohang Songdo $12.9ea/m^2$, Pohang Bookbu $8.8ea/m^2$, Togoo $4.9ea/m^2$, Chilpo $3.2ea/m^2$, Hwajin $1.4ea/m^2$, Wolpo and Guryongpo $0.8ea/m^2$ respectively. 2. Compared with each beaches, Songdo beach, northern part beach of Pohang city and Togoo beach have higher densities than those of the others.
