Quality control for coal combustion products in South Korea through assessed pozzolanic-activity index with long-term property tests

In South Korea, nine million tons of fly ash (FA) are annually produced and approximately 70 % is reutilized for industrial demand. For the prompt reuse and insufficient reclamation site, quality control of FA which is main productive construction material from coal ash is very important. Assessed Pozzolanic-activity Index (API) test which needs only 2 days for evaluation of pozzolanic reaction is currently considered as an alternative of activity index measurement. This paper aims for an applicability of API test for prompt quality control and investigation of domestic FA properties. For the work, FAs from two different power plant types are prepared, and quality tests are carried out based on Korean Standards (KS) methods and API method. Lots of test results are compared with those from API and K-value test for FA with age of 7 days–1 year. From the test results for FA aged 1 year, API results are evaluated to be closely related with those from activity index and K-value, and the correlations are improved with increasing ages regardless of plant types. The applicability of API test is verified and the reduced period of FA quality evaluation can accelerate prompt use and the related process of FA.     

Absorption and Reaction Kinetics of Amines and Ammonia Solutions with Carbon Dioxide in Flue Gas

Abstract

The removal system for the absorption of CO₂ with amines and NH₃ is an advanced air pollution control device to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Absorption of CO₂ by amines and NH₃ solutions was performed in this study to derive the reaction kinetics. The absorption of CO₂ as encountered in flue gases into aqueous solutions of monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), and NH₃ was carried out using a stirred vessel with a plane gas-liquid interface at 50 °C. Various operating parameters were tested to determine the effect of these variables on the absorption kinetics of the reactants in both gas and liquid phases and the effect of competitions between various reactants on the mass-transfer rate.

The observed absorption rate increases with increasing gas-liquid concentration, solvent concentration, temperature, and gas flow rate, but changes with the O₂ concentration and pH value. The absorption efficiency of MEA is better than that of NH₃ and DEA, but the absorption capacity of NH₃ is the best. The active energies of the MEA and NH₃ with CO₂ are 33.19 and 40.09 kJ/mol, respectively.     

Overflow risk analysis for designing a nonpoint sources control detention

This paper presents a design method by which the overflow risk related to a detention for managing nonpoint pollutant sources in urban areas can be evaluated. The overall overflow risk of a nonpoint pollutant sources control detention can be estimated by inherent overflow risk and operational overflow risk. For the purpose of calculating overflow risk, the 3-parameter mixed exponential distribution is applied to describe the probability distribution of rainfall event depth. As a rainfall-runoff calculation procedure required for deriving a rainfall capture curve, the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service runoff curve number method is applied to consider the nonlinearity of the rainfall-runoff relation. Finally, the detention overflow risk is assessed with respect to the detention design capacity and drainage time. The proposed overflow risk assessment is expected to provide a baseline to determine quantitative parameters in designing a nonpoint sources control detention.     

基于PSR框架的耕地集约利用及其驱动力研究——以江西省为例

随着社会经济的发展以及城市化进程的加快,部分耕地非农化已成必然,开展耕地集约利用研究,对缓解人地矛盾、保障社会经济可持续发展具有重要的意义。以江西省为例,从人地关系角度出发,构建基于PSR模型的耕地集约利用评价指标体系,运用熵值法、极差标准化方法及综合指数法,计算出1998~2007年江西省耕地利用集约度,得出在这期间江西省耕地集约利用水平及PSR各子系统协调度呈上升趋势;并通过SPSS软件采用主成分分析法,分析其耕地集约利用水平变化的驱动因素,主要概括为社会经济因素、耕作资源及政策制度因素、自然因素。研究结果可为江西省今后耕地集约利用提供一定的科学依据,也为其他省份提供一些参考价值。     

Polarity effect of pulsed corona discharge for the oxidation of gaseous elemental mercury

The effect of polarity on the oxidation of Hg⁰ was examined in the presence of O₂ via a pulsed corona discharge (PCD). The experimental result showed no difference in the energy yield of Hg⁰ oxidation at both positive and negative PCDs (∼8 μg Hg W h⁻¹ at following conditions: total flow rate = 2 L min⁻¹ (Hg⁰ = 50 μg N m⁻³, O₂ = 10%, and N₂ balance), temperature = 150 °C, and specific energy density = 5-15 W h N m⁻³). This suggests that the positive PCD process used to control gaseous air pollutants may play an essential key role in Hg⁰ oxidation because it consumes enough energy (∼15 W h N m⁻³) but an electrical precipitator could not because it consumes less energy (∼0.3 W h N m⁻³) to oxidize Hg⁰.
