The traditional Korean heating system ondol, one of the most important characteristics of Korean architecture, still remains as hydronic floor heating. Various studies have been conducted on the modernization of ondol, but the process of introducing the hydronic floor heating has not been seriously studied so far. Therefore, this paper aims to demonstrate how the hydronic floor heating had been introduced to Korea, taking the 1950s and 1960s Haengchon, Jongam, and Mapo Apartments for example – these three are regarded as the first Korean apartment houses after the Korean War. While Western advanced construction technology was imported for these apartments, various methods of modernizing ondol were also considered. What was remarkable in these attempts is that hydronic floor heating first appeared in Mapo 1st Apartment in 1962, because this is the universal heating method in the present Korea. This fact signifies that the traditional principle of floor heating has been maintained, and it would also be meaningful in terms of architectural exchanges between East and West, if considered along with Wright’s application of the Korean heating principle to his houses since 1930s.

사과는 전 세계적으로 대표적 과수의 하나로서 우량 사과의 생산을 위하여 신속하고 경제적이며 정확한 사과바이러스 진단이 요구되고 있다. RT-PCR은 사과바이러스 진단을 위한 중요한 기술로 서 우선 시료조직의 분쇄 및 균질화를 통한 양질의 RNA 추출이 필수적이다. 그러나 분쇄작업은 다 량의 시료의 경우 많은 시간과 노동이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 조직 분쇄과정이 없이 단순 가열에 의한 RNA 추출을 시도하였으며 줄기조직이 잎조직보다 약간 더 적합함을 보여주었다. 그러나 RT-PCR에 의한 사과바이러스 진단에서는 모두 동일한 결과를 나타냈다. 이로써 사과 조직에 대한 단순가열로써 매우 간편하게 양질의 RNA추출이 가능함을 제시하였다.

This study was attempt to improve the quality of rapid- and low salt-fermented liquefaction of sardine (Sardinops melanoslicta). Effect of pretreatment methods such as water adding, heating, and intermittent NaCl adding on fermented liquefaction of chopped whole sardine were investigated. The divisions of the experimental samples by pretreatment methods were as follows; Sample A (water adding and heating): chopped whole sardine adding 20% water and then adding 3 and 5% NaCl consecutively at the intervals of 3 and 6 hrs during heating for 9 hrs at 50℃ and then fermented at 33℃ for 90 days. Sample B (preheating): chopped whole sardine with 8% NaCl and heating at 50℃ for 9 hrs and then fermented at 33℃ for 90 days. Sample C (control): neither pretreatment methods of water adding nor preheating on chopped whole sardine with 13% NaCl and then fermented at 33℃ for 90 days. Comparison of the appropriate fermentation period, yield of hydrolysate, chemical composition of fermented liquefied products were carried out. The highest content of amino nitrogen appeared at 60 days in the sample A, 75 days in the sample B, and 90 days in the sample C during the fermentation period. The appropriate fermentation period of the sample A was shorten 15 days than the sample B and 30 days than the sample C in the processing of sardine. The product A was lower NaCl (8.5%) and lower histamine content (25mg/100g) than the sample B and C. Possibly, three kinds of pretreatment methods such as water adding, heating, and intermittent NaCl adding, might be recommend as the processing of rapid- and low salt-fermented liquefaction product of chopped whole sardine.

소각시설에서의 폐기물 저위발열량은 소각로의 연소성능 및 특성 파악 측면에서 핵심적 요소로 작용하는 인자이다. 기존 저위발열량 측정 방법은 시료 채취를 통하여 발열량계 측정, 원소분석법 등을 적용하도록 규정하였으며, 소량의 시료를 바탕으로 함에 따라 폐기물의 불균질성 등을 충분히 반영하지 못하여 결과의 객관성이 부족한 문제점을 야기하여 왔다. 이에 환경부는 저위발열량 산정 관련 지침의 개정을 통하여 산정방법의 객관화를 추진하였다. 그러나 개정된 지침의 생활폐기물 저위발열량 산정식은 일반･고온 소각시설에 적용되는 산정 방법이다. 현재 국내에는 17개소의 열분해(가스화)･고온용융 소각시설이 운영되고 있으며 투입 보조연료, 연소로 운전 온도, 잔재물 배출 특성 등 일반소각방식과 달리 열분해･용융 처리방식의 공정 특성을 반영한 산정식의 필요성이 제기되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내 열분해･고온용융 소각시설에서의 열정산을 통하여 열분해･고온용융 처리방식의 특성이 반영된 저위발열량 산정방법의 산정계수와 최종 산정식을 도출하였다. 또한 도출된 산정식을 바탕으로 대상 시설에서의 투입 폐기물에 대한 저위발열량을 산정･평가하였다. 입･출열 특성 분석결과 출열에너지 중 증기 흡수열이 약 77.1%로 가장 많은 비율을 차지하였으며, 배출가스 보유열은 약 15.3%, 그 밖의 기타 출열에너지는 약 7.6% 수준으로 나타났다. 이러한 열정산 결과를 바탕으로 저위발열량 산정식의 상수값과 최종 산정식을 도출하였으며, 미연 및 방열손실 계수(α)는 1.098, 부가 입열량 계수(β)는 1.189, 배출가스 열손실 계수(γ)는 0.002의 상수값을 도출하였다. 아울러 도출된 열분해･고온용융 시설 LHVw 산정식을 적용을 적용한 저위발열량 산정 결과 11개호기 평균 약 2,160.8 kcal/kg 수준으로 나타났다. 산정식 도출결과는 현재 운영 중인 시설에서의 실측데이터를 적용한 결과로, 국내 열분해･용융 시설에 적용가능한 객관적이고 정형화된 저위발열량 산정방법일 것으로 사료된다. 또한 본 연구의 결과는 향후 저위발열량 산정방법 개정 등을 위한 소각시설에서의 주요 모니터링 인자 도출 및 관리방안 마련을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, the concept of “sustainable resource circulation society” has become a global issue and a key part of waste management policy. For resource circulation, Korea has established the primary foundation via the enactment of the “Framework act on resource circulation.” Waste energy recovery is attracting considerable attention because of such policy changes, and efforts are being made to maximize the use of heat at incineration facilities. Moreover, to ensure the objectivity and validity of the estimation method’s results, the ministry of environment has recently revised the guidelines for the energy recovery rate estimation method and lower heating value (LHV) of waste at incineration facilities. In the revised guidelines, for estimating the LHV of waste, a formal formula is presented at general incineration facilities for municipal solid waste (MSW). However, generally, the LHV-formula at incineration facilities is difficult to apply to pyrolysis-melting facilities because it does not reflect characteristics of the pyrolysis-melting treatment method. Thus, in this study, the actual condition of pyrolysis-melting facilities was investigated, and the LHV-formula for pyrolysis-melting facilities was derived using the derivation method of the EU’s NCV-formula.

Recently, the concept of “waste minimization and a sustainable resource circulation society” has become a global issue as the key term waste management policy, the effective use of waste, has been emphasized. Research that converts wastes from incinerators into energy is actively underway as a countermeasure for this issue. The most important factor, the lower heating value (LHV), is the amount of heat (excepting the latent heat of water vapor) generated when the fuel is completely burned, and it is necessary to analyze the combustion performance and economic efficiency of waste incineration facilities. The current LHV estimation methods of the Dulong equation and calorimeter through sampling cannot produce results that reflect the operation status of the incineration facility and the waste characteristics. Consequently, an objective and quantitative LHV formula (LHVKorea) was derived based on the operating data from the domestic municipal solid waste incineration facilities in this study. Additionally, by comparing LHVKorea and LHVEU, the error range of the two formulas is analyzed. The average result of LHVKorea is 2,318kcal/kg (1,788 ~ 2,734 kcal/kg), and an error range of 5% appears between LHVKorea and LHVEU.

The lower heating value is the basic unit to calculate annual energy in estimating an energy gain factor. Reliability of an energy gain factor depends on the accuracy of the lower heating value. However, the deviation of heating value is large, and there is no common standard. Thus, the present methods of estimating the lower heating value (calorimeter method, ultimate analysis method, etc.) are inferior in accuracy. Besides, the conventional estimation method cannot reflect the waste's inhomogenous properties or seasonal effect. Hence, this study estimated the lower heating value on the basis of relation between heat input and heat output in equilibrium state by using the law of conservation of energy and the first law of thermodynamics for industrial waste incineration facilities (57 facilities) currently in operation. In the case of self-contained boilers, the lower heating value was an average of kcal/kg (1,984-6,476 kcal/ kg), and in case of separable boilers, the lower heating value was estimated to be an average of 3,787 kcal/kg (1,621- 486 kcal/kg).
