  • 지난 및 년간 정부에서는 소각시설에서 배출되는 다이옥신 등 대기오염물질을 저감하기 위하여 많은 노력을 기울여 왔다. 먼저, '97년 7월 17일, 폐기물관리법 시행규칙을 개정하여 생활폐기물 소각시설에 대한 다이옥신 규제기준$^{1)}$ 을 '99년 7월 1일부터 기존 소각시설에 대해서는 0.5ng-TEQ/N㎥을 신설 소각시설에 대해서는 0.1ng-TEQ/N㎥으로 제정했으며, 또한 소각시설의 광역화, 신규 소각시설의 설치비용 및 기존 소각설비의 개ㆍ보수비용의 일부에 대한 국고지원, 소각처리 기술지원단에 의한 기술평가 및 자문활동, 다이옥신 공인측정ㆍ분석기관의 지정ㆍ고시, 생활폐기물 소각시설 설치ㆍ운영지침의 제정 등 짧은 기간임에도 불구하고 소각시설에서 배출되는 다이옥신을 저감하기 위하여 각종 정책이나 제도를 시행 또는 개선해왔다.

  • It is it well known fact that the most relevant toxic emissions such as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), dioxin-1ike polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are produced from incinerators. Induction of cytochrome P450IA1 catalyzed 7-ethoxyresorufin 0-deethylase (EROD) activity in mammalian cell culture (EROD-microbioassay) is a selective and sensitive parameter used for the quantification of dioxin-like compounds.

  • 생활폐기물 소각시설에서의 다이옥신이 사회적 관심사로 대두되면서 각 소각시설에서는 다이옥신 농도를 기준치이하로 저감시키려는 노력을 꾸준히 해왔다. 그 결과 '97년 이후 배출농도 수준이 점진적으로 개선되고 있다. 그 대책으로 여러 가지 방안이 시행되었으나 소각시설 운전의 최적화와 시설개선에 의한 효과가 가장 큰 것으로 판단된다. 이와 같은 개선노력의 일환으로 본 연구의 대상이 되는 생활폐기물 소각시설에서는 배출되는 다이옥신 농도를 저감시키기 위해서 시범 플랜트를 설치ㆍ운영하고 있고, 본시설 또한, 운전 최적화와 후처리시설의 대체를 도모하고 있다.(중략)

  • In 1995 we licensed pyrolysis gas melting technology of indirect heating type (using kiln) from Siemens AG, and built its demonstration facility in 1998 at Clean-Park-East of Fukuoka City to demonstrate the technology for municipal solid waste (MSW). In 1997 we were awarded an order from Kanemura Co., Ltd. to build a pyrolysis gas melting and power generation plant, specifically for treating residue from car shredder. The latter was launched in 1998, and is currently in commercial operation. The operation of these plants have proven the following facts. (1) The system is capable for performing a stable operation with a wide variety of waste. (2) Pyrolysis is achieved steadily regardless of the variation in the quality of waste. (3) The system can be operated under low excess air ratio (1.2∼1.3). (4) The concentration of dioxins at the furnace outlet is 0.062ng-TEQ/㎥$\_$N/, and 0.002ng-TEQ/㎥$\_$N/, at the stack. (the value is corrected to dryO$_2$ 12%) (5) The purity of recovered metals exceeds 90%.

  • There are growing concerns about human health effects of dioxin and dioxin like compounds such as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDS), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), Earlier studies recognized that 2,3,7,8-tetrachloro dibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and structually related dioxin like compounds invoke a number of common toxic responses that are mediated through a high-affinity cytosolic receptor protein, the AhR. Based on studies that Indicate th pivotal role of AhR in mediating most, if not all, of the dioxin toxicity, TCDD equivalency factor (TEF) approach was developed. This approach allowed the expression of toxic potential of a complex mixture as one integrated parameter, the toxic equivalency (TEQ) value.

  • 소각로, 산업공정 등 다양한 배출원을 가지고 있는 다이옥신은 식품, 피부접촉, 대기 및 토양 통의 매체를 통하여 인간의 건강과 자연 생태계에 유해 영향을 미치고 있다. 환경 중 다이옥신의 배출량은 극미량이기는 하나 높은 지용성 물질로써 환경 매체간 이동 및 먹이사슬을 통해 생체농축현상을 일으키는 것이 밝혀지면서 그로 인한 유해성 야기되기 시작하였으며, 특히, 2001년 미국 환경보호청에서 다이옥신에 대한 재평가를 통해 2,3,7,8-TCDD는 인체 발암물질로, 다이옥신은 인체 발암 유발 가능 물질로 분류하고 있어, 선진국에서는 다이옥신에 대한 적극적인 연구가 진행되고 있다.

  • This paper has comprehensively reviewed fine dust control technology from emission sources. Owing to the stringent national regulation, domestic industries have made consistent efforts to develop the high efficiency facilities since 1960s. In these days, harmful particulate pollutants including dioxins and PAHs as well as $PM_{2.5}$ are also of critical interests in government and civic groups. In addition, simultaneous treatment of gas and particles is being widely studied. It is believed that hybrid facilities which integrate a few advanced equipment may meet the atmospheric guidelines.

  • Granular activated carbon(GAC) is highly effective in removing organic compounds which are resistant to biological disintegration in wastewater treatment. However, GAC has reached its full adsorptive capacity, GAC needs to be regenerated before it can be used for a further adsorption cycle. Countercurrent oxidative reaction (COR) technique has been developed and evaluated for the regeneration of spent GAC. Various parameters such as flame temperature, the loss of carbon, destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of organic compounds, surface area, surface structure, adsorptive capacity, etc. were examined to determine the performance of COR. The results of these tests showed that adosorptive capacity of regenerated GAC was completely recovered, the loss of carbon was controllable, flame temperature was high enough to insure complete destruction and removal $(\geq99.9999%)$ of specific organics of interest, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), that are thermally stable, and on formation of toxic byproducts such as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) or polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) were detected during the regeneration process. The COR technique is environmentally benign, easy to use and less copital intensive than other available regeneration technologies.

  • Each four polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was reacted with OH radical at $1.5{\AA}$ distance by CAChe MOPAC 2000 program. These results were compared to those reported experimental results. Reaction positions of all four PAHs corresponded with predicted positions in which ${\Delta}$E(HOMO-LUMO) was approximately 4.7. Finally oxygen of OH radical combined with PAH and quinone form of products were produced. These results indicate that the proposed determining the ${\Delta}$E(HOMO-LUMO) can be effectively applied to predict reaction position of recalcitrant compounds such as dioxins, PCBs, POPs, and etc.

  • PCDDS and PCDFs are very stable chcmicals and have very long residence times in the environment and in organisms, including humans. Their hydrophobicity promotes accumulation in sediments and organisms, resulting in high concentrations in both sediments and organisms. Among toxicological effects reports arc teratogenicity, reduce reproduction, liver toxicity, decreased growth rate and behavioral changes (Zeise et al., 1990; Huff, 1992). PCDDs/DFs are inadvertently produced from various combustion sources and manufacturing processes, such as municipal solid waste incineration (Olie et at., 1977), motor vehicles (Marklund et al., 1987), steel mills (Tysklind et al., 1989), and chemical production processes (Hutzinger et al., 1985).
