Abstract

This study developed a NH 3 emission factor for bituminous coal power plants in South Korea in order to investigate the NH 3 emission characteristics. The NH 3 concentration analysis results showed that emissions from the selected bituminous coal power plants were in the range of 0.21–0.99 ppm, and that the difference in NH 3 concentration was affected by NOx concentration. The NH 3 emission factor was found to be 0.0029 kg NH 3 /ton, which demonstrated that the difference in the values obtained from the research conducted in South Korea was lower than the difference in the emission factor provided by the U.S. EPA, which is currently applied in the statistics of South Korea. NH 3 emissions were compared by using the NH 3 emission factor developed in this study alongside the EPA’s NH 3 emission factor that is currently applied in South Korea’s statistics; the difference was found to be 206 NH 3 ton/year. This implies that an emission factor that reflects the national characteristics of South Korea needs to be developed. The uncertainty range of the NH 3 emission factor developed in this study was between −6.9% and +10.34% at a 95% confidence level.
