In this study safety distance was investigated for small-scale LNG storage facilities in order to provide basic data for safety. The results are as follows; (1) For explosion pressure criteria, current criteria are reasonable, but water spray system should be recommended to LNG storage tank to ensure safety. (2) For criteria based on the results of the quantitative risk assessment, criteria applied to people are 5kW/㎡ for radiation, LFL for dispersion, and 7kPa for explosion pressure. And criteria applied to facility are 37.5 kW/㎡ for radiation and 20 kPa for explosion pressure.

All of the city gas companies in Korea must employ the gas safety patrols by law. The gas safety patrols are responsible for the various tasks including daily gas pipeline patrol to prevent gas accidents. Since the size of jurisdiction varies among the city gas companies, it is very difficult to compare their efficiency for the operations of the safety patrol each other directly. The objective of this research is to develop the methodology to analyze and compare the efficiency of the safety patrol's operations among various city gas companies. Several factors that are related to the safety patrol's duty on the gas safety factors were identified and DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis) model for efficiency analysis was developed. Finally, the DEA model was applied to the collected data from six city gas companies. The less efficient city gas companies can benchmark the higher efficient city gas companies in order to improve the safety control systems.

본 연구에서는 석탄 광산배수에 함유된 중금속을 부유선별로 제거하기에 앞서 부유선별 조건에 영향을 미치는 철, 망간, 알루미늄 이온의 침전특성을 알아보았다. Fe(III), Mn(II), Al(III) 이온을 NaOH와 반응시켜 1 h 동안 침전시키면 Fe(III)은 pH 5.0 이상에서, Mn(II)은 pH 10.0 이상에서 그리고 Al(III)은 pH 6.0~9.0의 범위에서 대부분 침전되어 여액에 1.0mgL-1 이하로 잔류되었다. Fe(III), Mn(II), Al(III)의 혼합 용액에 포수제인 올레인산나트륨을 첨가하였을 경우, 각각의 중금속 이온은 올레인산나트륨과 반응하여 불용성 염을 거의 형성하지 않았기 때문에 침전 부선법으로 광산배수에 함유된 중금속을 제거해야 하는 것으로 나타났다.
