The autoignition characteristics of n-heptane/n-butanol were investigated both experimentally and numerically. The effects of oxygen concentration and exhaust gas recirculation rate on the autoignition characteristics were evaluated. A rapid compression machine was employed to measure ignition delay times of blended fuels. A numerical study on the ignition delay time was performed using the CHEMKIN-PRO software to calculate ignition delay time and predict the chemical species in the combustion process. The results revealed that the ignition delay time increased with decreasing oxygen concentration due to the thermal load effect of nitrogen. The oxidation reaction of n-heptane in a low temperature regime was limited with decreasing oxygen concentration. The ignition delay time sharply decreased with exhaust gas recirculation because of the intermediate species in the exhaust gas. Exhaust gas recirculation reduced first ignition delay dramatically. However, the time interval between the first and main ignition increased with increased exhaust gas recirculation.

The smoke emission of biodiesel fuel was reduced remarkably in comparison with diesel fuel, that is, it was reduced approximately 36% at 2000rpm, full load condition. And, power, torque and brake specific energy consumption showed no significant differences. However, NOx emission of biodiesel fuel was increased compared with commercial diesel fuel. Also, the effects of exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) to reduce the NOx emission has been investigated. It was found that simultaneous reduction of smoke and NOx was achieved with biodiesel fuel(20vol-%) and cooled EGR method(10∼15%).

In this paper, the effect of oxygen component in fuel on the exhaust emissions has been investigated for a direct injection diesel engine. It was tested to estimate change of engine performance and exhaust emission characteristics for the commercial diesel fuel and oxygenated blended fuel which has seven kinds of mixed ratio. And, the effects of exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) on the characteristics of NOx emission have been investigated. Ethylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether(EGBE) contains oxygen component 27% in itself, and it is a kind of effective oxygenated fuel of mono-ether group that the smoke emission of EGBE is reduced remarkably compared with commercial diesel fuel, that is, it can supply oxygen component sufficiently at higher loads and speeds in a diesel engine. It was found that simultaneous reduction of smoke and NOx was achieved with oxygenated fuel and cooled EGR method.

The Effects of cooled and hot EGR(exhaust gas recirculation) on the characteristics of smoke and NOx emission have been investigated using a single cylinder, water-cooled, four cycle, DI diesel engine at several loads and speeds. In this study, a manually controlled EGR system was installed on a agricultural diesel engine which was operated at various operating system. And, the effects of hot EGR and cooled EGR on smoke and NOx emission were compared. The results showed that cooled EGR method was more effective than hot EGR method on smoke and NOx emission.

The sanitary landfill method not only stops leakage of leachate and landfill gas to the outside, it also prevents water or air ingress. These methods significantly reduce the environmental contamination of landfills. Recently, landfilling of organic wastes such as sewage sludge and food waste has been forbidden, and landfilled wastes are dried. In addition, the water supply from outside is blocked, and the inside of the landfill remains very dry using the sanitary landfill method. At present, municipal solid-waste landfills have a generalized landfill-gas recovery and energy conversion. However, delayed decomposition of waste due to drying of the landfill will prolong the post-management period and reduce the amount of landfill gas after final disposal, which has a serious impact on the economics. In this study, a leachate recirculation facility was installed at the SUDOKWON landfill site in Incheon to prevent drying of the inside of the landfill. We investigated the effects of leachate recirculation on landfill gas evolution by observing the changes in water content and landfill-gas collection. As a result, the amount of landfill gas collected after recycling the leachate for about 34 months showed an increase of about 71% compared to the control. Therefore, the increase of water content through leachate recirculation greatly influences landfill-gas production, and it can increase the return from the landfill-gas energy project.

핀란드 등의 유럽국가와 미국에서는 이미 오래전부터 매립지로 침출수를 재순환하고 있다. 이들 국가는 크게 두가지 목적으로 침출수를 재순환한다. 첫째, 소규모 매립지의 경우 별도의 침출수 처리시설이 없어 침출수처리 목적으로 매립지 내부로 침출수를 재순환하는 것이고, 두 번째는 건조한 지역의 매립지에서 수분공급을 통한 폐기물 분해활성화를 위해 재순환하는 것이다. 이러한 분해활성화는 매립가스 증산과 매립지 조기 안정화에 기여한다. 이들 국가의 재순환 방법은 단순히 살수차를 이용하여 매립현장에 침출수를 직접 살포하는 방식에서부터, 매립지 내 폐기물 층에 수평형 또는 수직형의 주입시설을 설치하여 매립지 내부로 주입하는 형태의 방식도 적용하고 있다. 국내의 경우, 최근까지 침출수를 매립지로 재순환할 수 있는 법적 근거가 없었으나, 2016년 4월에 그 근거가 마련되었다. 즉 매립지로 반입되는 폐기물의 성상이 하수슬러지 등 유기성 폐기물의 직매립 금지로 인해 매우 건조화 되었고, 또한 복토 기준 강화로 인해 매립지 내부로 우수의 유입도 크게 차단되어 매립지 내부가 많이 건조화 되었다는 것을 정부에서도 인식한 것이다. 본 연구에서는 수도권매립지 제2매립장내 2개블럭에 대하여 침출수 재순환을 통한 함수율 변화와 이에따른 매립가스 포집량 변화를 관찰하여 매립가스 증산에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 파악하고자 하였다. 이에 3c, 4c 두 개 블록에 침출수 재순환시설을 설치하여 2013년 10월부터 2016년 12월까지 약 24만 m³의 침출수를 재순환하고 매립량 및 매립경과기간이 유사한 3d, 4d 블록과 함께 매립가스 포집량 등을 조사하였다. 그 결과 매립가스 포집량이 순메탄량 기준으로 대조구역 대비 1차년도 28.2%, 2차년도 36.7%, 3차년도에 60.6%의 증가율을 나타낸 것으로 조사되어 침출수 재순환이 매립가스 증산에 크게 영향을 미치며 이를 통해 매립가스 자원화사업에 큰 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

Characteristics of the exhaust gas of a commercial scale (7.2 ton/day) municipal wastes incinerator with recirculation of its high temperature combustion gas were investigated. High temperature combustion gas made by incineration was entrained by an air jet and re-used for incineration. Air was preheated to 384-512oC and diluted to have an oxygen concentration of 16-17%. Incineration of municipal wastes with the preheated and diluted air made extremely uniform and stable flames. Concentrations of nitric oxide (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), oxygen (O2), and carbon dioxide (CO2) in flue gas were measured at the boiler exit and the stack, simultaneously. Averaged concentrations of NOx and CO were reduced to 54.2 ppm and 3.1 ppm at the boiler exit and to 49.8 ppm and 6.0 ppm at the stack, respectively, at a reference oxygen concentration of 12% without any post treatment of NOx and when the averaged outlet temperature of the combustion chamber was 904oC. The measured NOx emission was only 29% of that of a conventional municipal incinerator. Simultaneous reduction of NOx and CO is significant. Averaged concentrations of O2 and CO2 were 9.7% and 8.6% at the boiler exit and 14.6% and 4.9% at the stack, respectively.

It is known that lowering of peak temperature of flame reduces NOx emission in combustion process. Low oxygenconcentration of diluted combustion air reduces peak flame temperature, but makes flame unstable. So increasing oftemperature of reactants is needed to enhance flame stability. Mixing of high temperature combustion gas with combustionair makes low oxygen concentration and increases air temperature simultaneously. Low oxygen concentration ofcombustion air reduces peak temperature of flame and increased air temperature makes flame stable by enhancement ofcombustion reaction. Special apparatus for recirculation of high temperature combustion gas should be needed, becausegeneral blower cannot be used to return the gas of almost 1,000oC. Air jet type recirculation apparatus has been developedand installed in a commercial scale of 7.2ton/day incinerator and estimated. Oxygen concentration and temperature ofair mixed with inhaled high temperature combustion gas by the apparatus are 16.24~17.78%, 384~512oC, respectively,in a steady state of incineration.

Characteristics of exhaust gas of solid refuse fuel (SRF) burning in a commercial scale of 12ton/day incinerator havebeen investigated. Combustion air for SRF burning is mixed with recirculated high temperature exhaust gas to diluteoxygen concentration and preheat itself. It is called high temperature EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) combustion. Itis known that low oxygen concentration of diluted air reduces flame temperature and NOx emission, but also makes flameunstable. Highly heated air by mixing with high temperature exhaust gas makes flame stable by enhancement ofcombustion reaction. Concentrations of nitric oxide (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2)in flue gas have been measured at stack. High temperature EGR incineration of SRF dramatically reduces nitric oxideemission and residual oxygen. Average concentrations of NOx, and CO are 71.5ppm and 86.6ppm especially at referenceoxygen concentration of 12% without any post treatment of NOx when the average outlet temperature of combustionchamber is 942oC. And average concentrations of O2 and CO2 are 9.59% and 8.3% especially.

In this study, the experiment was carried out to produce methane by applying Semi-Continuous Leachate Recirculation Anaerobic Digestion System fed with source separated food waste from school cafeteria. There were two systems and each system consisted of a bioreactor and a leachate tank. Each bioreactor had a screen near the bottom of the reactor. 2L of Separated leachate was collected to the leachate tank each day by using a tubing pump and the leachate from the leachate tank was pumped to the bioreactor at the upper of the bioreactor. Through this circulation, the leachate having high concentration of VFAs was supplied to the bioreactor. At the beginning of the experiment, food waste/inoculum anaerobic sludge volume ratio was 2:8 that is 9g VS/L of OLR(Organic Loading Rate). Feeding was conducted every two weeks. Initial conditions of bioreactor was 30g VS/2･week and 33g VS/2･week were fed to bioreactor A and bioreactor B, respectively. Average biogas yields of the bioreactor were 0.723m³ Biogas/kg VS added in reactor A and 0.648m³ Biogas/kg VS added in reactor B.

Analyzing results of exhaust gas of solid fuel burning are investigated with measuring position in a pilot scale MILD(Moderate and Intense Low oxygen Dilution) combustor using high temperature exhaust gas recirculation. Flue gas hasbeen measured at exit of combustion chamber and stack, especially. Oxygen concentration measured at stack is higherand carbon dioxide concentration is lower than that measured at exit of combustion chamber, because air flows into theflue gas from the post-treatment facilities, such as gas cooler and bag filter, due to negative pressure caused by inducedblower. Low carbon dioxide concentration can cause an error which estimates higher air ratio than actual air flow rateneeded for complete combustion. Average calculated concentration of measured nitric oxide and carbon monoxide forreference concentration of 6% oxygen have no notable difference with measuring position. But, time resolution of thedata measured at exit of combustion chamber is better than that measured at stack. It is confirmed that MILD combustionof solid fuel of pulverized coal using high temperature exhaust gas recirculation can reduce dramatically nitric oxideemission.

MILD (Moderate and Intense Low oxygen Dilution) combustion using high temperature exhaust gas recirculation is applied to solid fuels of dried sewage sludge and pulverized coal combustion to investigate the effect of reduction of NOx emission in a pilot scale combustor. High temperature exhaust gas recirculation is accomplished by entraining high temperature exhaust gas to air jets at just exit of the combustion chamber without a heat exchanger. High temperature exhaust gas recirculation makes the solid fuel flame stable and extremely uniform color and uniform temperature distribution. NOx concentration at the combustor exit was 62% and 40% less in the high temperature exhaust recirculation MILD combustion compared with the conventional combustion using air jet only for sewage sludge and pulverized coal respectively.

In the present study, MILD (Moderate and Intense Low oxygen Dilution) combustion technology is adopted as one of the most effective tool for reduction of NOx emission in solid fuel combustion. We tried to achieve MILD combustion using the high temperature exhaust recirculation without any heat exchanger for preheating air. High temperature exhaust recirculation is accomplished by entraining the high temperature exhaust gas to air jets at just exit of the combustion chamber. This high temperature exhaust recirculation could recirculate heat and inert exhaust gas simultaneously. MILD combustion using the recirculation of the high temperature exhaust gas is experimented to investigate the effect of low NOx emission for the recycled solid fuel of the dried sewage sludge and pulverized coal. NOx emission could be reduced drastically by using this advanced combustion technique. Maximum 68% and 57% of NOx reduction was achieved for sewage sludge and pulverized coal respectively, in the high temperature exhaust recirculation MILD combustion compared with the conventional combustion using air jet only. This type of MILD combustion makes the apparent flames of both solid fuels extremely uniform without high temperature flamelet.

Air mass recirculation is a common characteristic in the coastal area as a result of the land-sea breeze circulation. This study simulates the recirculation of air mass over the Gwangyang Bay using WRF-FLEXPART and offers a basic information about the effective domain size that can reflect recirculation. For this purpose, WRF is set up four nested domains and three cases are selected. Subsequently FLEXPART is operated on the basis of WRF output. During the clear summer days with weak wind speed, particles that emitted from Yeosu national industrial complex and Gwangyang iron works flow into emission sources because of the land-sea breeze. When land-sea breeze is strengthen, the recirculation phenomena appears clearly. However particles aren't recirculated under weak synoptic condition. Also plume trajectory is analyzed and as a consequence, the smallest domain area have to be multiplied by 1.3 to understand recirculated dispersion pattern of particles.
