The purpose of this study is to search the optimal solubilization technology which could be applied to sewage sludge, and is to find the characteristics of biological hydrogen production when the sludge treated by optimal method was used as a sole substrate. As a result of the test, treatment technology mixed with alkali and ultrasonic treatment was very powerful tool for treating sewage sludge with high solubilization, and its ratio and elution rate of organic material was 0.9 and 0.076 $min^{-1}$, respectively. When the sludge treated by above optimal technology was used, 4.4 ml $H_2/g$ VSS of hydrogen was produced. Finally, When the sludge treated by above optimal technology was used, 13.4 ml $H_2/g$ VSS of hydrogen was produced under optimum pH.

Mass reduction and physicochemical properties of the produced compost were investigated during composting domestic food wastes without additive. A small composter used in this study had the height of 15 cm from the center of bottom half circle (diameter 24 cm) up to under the lid, the side length of 50 cm and the horizontal lid angle of $50^{\circ}$ and was operated at the heating unit temperature of $85^{\circ}$. It was mixed by the rotating arm for two minutes in every half hour while supplied with air flow at 3 L/min for 10 minutes in every half hour. This condition was found in a preliminary experiment as optimal for keeping the water content of composting material in the optimal range without adding any bulking materials. The domestic food wastes were added into the composter at the rate of 1 kg/day without additives during composting. The results were as follows; during the composting process, water content maintained in the range of $51.0{\sim}53.5%$. Hemicellulose and lignin contents did not show any tendency, but cellulose content decreased. During the composting process, $NH_3-N$ and $NO_2-N$ were not detected due to nitrification. The contents of inorganic compounds did not increase during the composting process. They were in the range of $1.32{\sim}1.71%\;P_2O_5$, $1.29{\sim}1.48%\;CaO$, $0.41{\sim}0.49%\;MgO$, and $0.38{\sim}0.74%\;K_2O$. For 20 days, weight reduction rate was 67.5% in wet basis, and decomposition rate was 48% in dry basis. Concentration of heavy metals (Cu, Cr, Cd, Pb, Zn, Hg, As) was less than the limiting value of the compost. Maturity of the produced compost was 3 grade through reaching maximum temperature of $46{\sim}48^{\circ}C$.

인구증가와 급속한 산업화에 따른 대량생산, 다량소비로 인해 쓰레기의 발생량은 지속적으로 증가하고 있으며 생활수준의 향상으로 쓰레기의 질적 특성도 변화되고 있다. 정부는 분리수거로 쓰레기 감량화 유도를 위해 지난 ’95년부터 쓰레기 종량제를 전국적으로 실시하고 있으나 수거∙운반단계에서 발생하는 문제는 크게 개선되지 못하고 있다. 따라서 쓰레기 방치에 따른 악취, 미관저해 등의 환경 위생적인 측면과 교통 안전 등의 문제를 해결할 수 있는 새로운 개념의 수거∙운반방식 도입의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 쓰레기 자동집하시설은 지하관로를 통해 쓰레기를 수거하는 방식의 최첨단 시스템으로 지상에서 쓰레기를 볼 수 없는 쾌적한 주거환경 조성 및 기존의 수거∙운반 단계의 단점을 해결한 쓰레기 수거 시스템이다. 이미 유럽 및 일본 등에서 도입되어 운영되고 있는 쓰레기 자동집하시스템은 삶의 질 향상과 함께 에서 운영비 절감 등 경제적인 면에서 우수성이 검증된 바있다. 국내에 쓰레기 자동집하시설이 도입된지 10여년이 지났으나 그동안 주상복합 및 병원, 오피스텔 등에만 적용될 정도로 시장이 매우 미미했었다. 최근들어 쾌적한 주거환경에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라 지자체 및 발주처가 확대적용할 예정이어서 새로운 시장으로 떠오르고 있다. 최근 토지 공사가 성남 판교 집하시설과 용인흥덕지구 집하시설 입찰에 들어갔고, 주공도 광명소하지구 집하시설을 입찰에 붙였는데 건설업계의 관심이 집중되었다. 이와 관련 본지는 쓰레기자동집하시설 도입 필요성 및 원리, 국내 적용 현황 등에 관해 자세히 알아보고, 우양기건(주)(대표 강석대)가 인천광역시 도시개발공사로부터 분리발주 받은 송도4공구 1, 2단지 쓰레기관로수송설비공사의 시공사례를 알아본다. 향후 쓰레기 관로수송설비공사는 주택 단지 형성시 반드시 필요한 공사중의 하나이며 지자체로부터 분리발주될 가능성이 높은 공사 중의 하나이므로 우리 설비건설업계가 관심을 가져야할 분야이다.

The potential of using the biogas as energy source has long been widely recognised and current techniques are being developed to upgrade the technical quality and to enhance energy efficiency. The objective of this paper is to present efficient and effective pre-treatment methods of increasing the amount of produced biogas in anaerobic digestion of activated sludge treatment process. The paper also presents a review of the effect on biogas production between pre-treated and raw sludge, and also put forward the advantages and disadvantages of each pre-treatment method.

It is important to understand consumer attitudes associated with their eco-friendly behavior on account of not only environmental reasons, but also corporate aspects. In this study, we examine the relations between variables influencing eco-friendly attitudes and eco-friendly behavioral intentions, namely, recycling, reusing, and reducing (3R). We first, performed a theoretical consideration through reviews of literature on ethical identity, ethical obligation, altruism, and eco-friendly attitudes, and behavioral intentions. Based on the literature review, we designed a study model and drew hypotheses. Further, we collected data using a survey and processed them statistically in order to verify the hypotheses. A total of 265 samples were collected and the data were analyzed using a structural equation model (-LISREL 8.70). The results suggest that ethical identity and altruism significantly influence environmental attitudes. However, the effects of ethical obligations on eco-friendly attitudes are insignificant. The environmental attitudes have a significant effects on the consumer behavioral intention for recycling, reusing, and reducing. Although this study has some limitations, it is expected that it will positively trigger follow-up research.

The headliner was made of polyurethane(PU) and glass fiber(GF) composite materials are widely used as a sound insulation material. A large amount of waste materials occurs as a by-product in the headliner manufacturing process. In order to efficiently reuse the headliner waste materials, separation process of the components are very necessary. According to the results of thermal analysis, weight loss showed increase in the order polyurethane foam> non-foaming polyurethane> non-woven fabric> 1st layer> glass fiber in the range of up to $400^{\circ}C$. Analysis of the DSC characteristics, HDPE, LLDPE, PP, and Master Batch by adding additives the wasted scrap. As a result, except for the PP, there was no exothermic transition due to the crystallization.

The volume of parcel delivery is steadily increasing with the rapid growth of the global online e-commerce market. However, a large amount of packaging materials used for these parcel delivery is finally causing environmental problems as waste. The rapid increase of these packaging waste has been making many countries to research ways to reduce the generation of distribution packaging waste. In this study, we have measured the empty space ratio for 131 packagings of parcel delivery purchased through the several domestic online stores in order to investigate the present situation in connection with the degree of excessive or overpack in korean parcel delivery packagings, so that 64 packagings were exceeded 50% in the empty space ratio. And we have suggested ways to reduce the generation of distribution packaging waste raised by e-commerce-based parcel delivery through analyzing the previous research and case studies ; one is to optimize and minimize the packaging design by safe transit test(field-to-lab test), another is to develop a reusable & returnable transport packaging and system applicable in the domestic supply chain, the other is to regulate directly with a policy.
