Przedyskutowano zagadnienia związane z emisją tlenków siarki i azotu w transporcie morskim oraz omówiono metody ograniczenia ich emisji. Przedstawiono przegląd technologii obecnie stosowanych w transporcie morskim do usuwania tlenków siarki i azotu z gazów odlotowych z silników Diesla oraz nowych innowacyjnych metod ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem technologii plazmowych, w tym opartych na wykorzystaniu wiązki elektronów. Wobec zaostrzających się wymagań co do wielkości emisji zanieczyszczeń plazmowe technologie kontroli emisji mogą stać się konkurencyjne w stosunku do obecnie stosowanych. Należy podkreślić, że wszystkie te procesy opierają się na znajomości chemii i chemii plazmy oraz jej roli w ograniczeniu emisji w sektorze energetycznym. Wiedza w tym zakresie jest również podstawą do rozwiązania tego nierozwiązanego dotąd problemu z dziedziny ochrony środowiska.

The removal of organic pollutants from ship emission was studied using two processes namely electron beam (EB) and hybrid EB with wet scrubbing process. A mobile accelerator unit was used to treat 4915 Nm3 /h of flue gas emitted from a tugboat in Riga Shipyard. A volume of 3 m3 seawater containing 36.8 mM of NaClO2 oxidant was used as a wet scrubber solution. Organic pollutants, mainly volatile organic pollutants (VOCs), were collected at three different sampling points, before and after irradiation vessels, and after wet-scrubber unit, respectively. They were collected with glass sampling bottles, tedlar bags, Coconut Shell Charcoal (CSC) sorbents and XAD-2 sorbents. CH3OH and CH3OH/CH2Cl2 (1:1) were used to extract VOCs from CSC and XAD-2 sorbents, respectively. Syringe filters were used to obtain the solid-free extraction solutions. They were concentrated using a micro-extractor under continuously blowing high-purity Ar. A gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used for analysis. The identified organic compounds were: aliphatic hydrocarbons (dodecane C12H26 to eicosane C20H42), aromatic hydrocarbon (toluene), esters (C3H7COOCH3, (C4H9OCO)2C6H4), nitro compounds (C3H5NO3, C4H7NO2) and acid (C7H15COOH). After 4.2 kGy EB irradiation, around 50–100% aliphatic hydrocarbons, 83% toluene and 7.5% (C4H9OCO)2C6H4 were removed from the off-gases, and after EB hybrid wet-scrubber process, most organic compounds including nitro compounds were removed. Only trace amount of toluene, hexadecane, octadecane and dibutyl phthalate were found to be present in the gas phase.
Operation of marine diesel engines causes signifi cant emission of sulphur and nitrogen oxides. It was noticed worldwide and the regulations concerning harmful emissions were introduced. There were several solutions elaborated; however, emission control for both SOx and NOx requires two distinctive processes realized in separated devices, which is problematic due to limited space on ship board and high overall costs. Therefore, the electron beam flue gas treatment (EBFGT) process was adopted to ensure the abatement of the problem of marine diesel off-gases. This novel solution combines two main processes: fi rst the fl ue gas is irradiated with electron beam where NO and SO2 are oxidized; the second stage is wet scrubbing to remove both pollutants with high efficiency. Laboratory tests showed that this process could be effectively applied to remove SO2 and NOx from diesel engine off-gases. Different compositions of absorbing solution with three different oxidants (NaClO, NaClO2 and NaClO3) were tested. The highest NOx removal efficiency (>96%) was obtained when seawater-NaClO2-NaOH was used as scrubber solution at 10.9 kGy dose. The process was further tested in real maritime conditions at Riga shipyard, Latvia. More than 45% NOx was removed at a 5.5 kGy dose, corresponding to 4800 Nm3 /h off-gases arising from ship emission. The operation of the plant was the first case of examination of the hybrid electron beam technology in real conditions. Taking into account the experiment conditions, good agreement was obtained with laboratory tests. The results obtained in Riga shipyard provided valuable information for the application of this technology for control of large cargo ship emission.
Ochrona klimatu wymaga wdrożenia bezemisyjnych źródeł energii, takich jak reaktory jądrowe. Reaktory wysokotemperaturowe mogą stanowić doskonałe uzupełnienie wielkoskalowej energetyki jądrowej, poprzez zaopatrzenie rynku energetycznego w wysokotemperaturowe ciepło, do różnych procesów technologicznych. Pierwszym krokiem na drodze do wdrożenia technologii reaktorów wysokotemperaturowych w Polsce była realizacja projektu GOSPOSTRATEG-HTR. Niniejszy artykuł stanowi podsumowanie najważniejszych celów i osiągnięć projektu.

Climate protection requires the deployment of zero-emission energy sources, such as nuclear reactors. Hightemperature reactors can be a perfect complement to large-scale nuclear energy by supplying the energy market with hightemperature heat for various technological processes. The first step towards the implementation of high-temperature reactor technology in Poland was the implementation of the GOSPOSTRATEG-HTR project. This article is a summary of the most important goals and achievements of the project.
