초록
본 연구에서는 폐플라스틱의 재활용방법 (물질재활용, Refused Derived Fuel(RDF), 고로원료화 및 유화)에 대한 환경 영향을 분석하기 위하여 전과정평가(LCA)가 수행되었다. 이 연구에서는 6가지 환경영향 범주를 사용하였다. 폐플라스틱의 재활용방법 중 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 범주는 지구온난화로 나타났으며, 나머지들의 영향은 미비한 것으로 나타났다. 지구온난화의 영향을 살펴보면 물질재활용, RDF화 및 고로원료화에 대해서는 환경성이 음(-)의 값으로 나타났으며, 이러한 현상은 신재 플라스틱의 대체재로 사용함으로써 환경부하 삭감효과가 크기 때문인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 그러나, 유화는 양(+)의 값으로 나타나 환경부하가 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이것은 사용량이 많은 전력의 생산과정에서 발생하는
In the present work, life cycle assessments (LCA) of various waste-plastic recycling methods (material recycling, refused derived fuel (RDF), recycling on furnace, and pyrolytic oil production) were carried out to investigate their impacts on the environment. Six types of impacts were considered. While the impact on global warming was found to be significant, the impact on others were negligible. The impact values on the global warming caused by the material recycling, RDF, and the recycling on furnace were negative, which implied that their impacts could be noticeably reduced when waste-plastic are used as an alternative to newly drawn plastics. The pyrolytic oil production, however, showed positive value, which may be due to the carbon dioxide produced during electric power generation. The pyrolytic oil production had the largest impact on the ozone layer destruction, which was due to ozone depleting substances produced from the process itself. These results can be used as a useful data for the enhancement of waste-plastic recycling.
