There are needs to examine the consequences of a regulation in effect to control the migration of leachates from disposal sites. The main objective of this study is to illustrate the methodology to evaluate basic disposal designs for compliance with a certain regulation, The "100/100 rule" is selected for demonstration purpose which dictates that the time for the leachates to travel a horizontal distance of 100feet (30.5m) away from the property where the landfill or pond is located must exceed 100 years. The two primary methods for disposal of ash from coal-fired utility plants, landfill and pond, are studied, Numerical groundwater flow analysis resulted in pressure head distribution and flux information in the cross-section of the domain while path line analysis provided travel path and time of leachate migration to compliance zone.ance zone.

An experimental research was conducted to establish primary data for the stabilization assessment of industrial wastes landfill with analysis of waste components and investigation of leachate and gas generation, using three sets of lysimeter as experimental apparatus. Comparing results of lysimeter from data of landfill, it is suggested that lysimeter of this study can be used to accomplish the stabilization assessment of the real landfill site. Moisture content was lower as landfill period was older and combustible component was the highest in lysimeter C. The C/N ratio of waste was 7.4~14.4 and, with the elemental analysis, the theoretical gas generation rate based on the modified Buswell equation was 0.47~0.49 $m^3/kg-dry$ waste in lysimeter C. Considering the C/N ratio of leachate, it is concluded that the addition of carbon source is needed to biodegrade leachate hereafter. Gas generation rate($m^3/kg-dry$ waste) from lysimeter A, B and C was 0.0009, 0.014 and 0.0067, respectively, and different from each other according to the landfill period of wastes. The results in this study show that the biodegradation of microorganism for stabilization of landfill was inhibited and more activated in acidogenic step than in methanogenic of anaerobic degradation.

It has been a growing concern about reusing Sudokwon landfill 2nd site and other sanitary landfills located around the metropolitan areas. In this paper, settlement characteristics of Sudokwon landfill 2nd site were studied by analyzing the data collected over the period of six years. Three equations are combined in order to modeling the long-term settlement behavior of refuse landfill caused by mechanical secondary composition and secondary composition caused by the decomposition of biodegradable refuse. It is suggested that mechanical secondary composition is linear with respect to the logarithm of time. The models proposed by hyperbolic method and Gibson & Lo model, power creep law are considered to be suitable for the long-term prediction value of Sudokwon landfill 2nd site. The fifteen-year-period prediction value of hyperbolic method and Gibson & Lo model is considerably different from that of power creep law model. The average settlement for Block I in Sudokwon 2nd site is approximately 3.9m with 4 steps of final landfill stages.

In order to utilize mass of oyster shells for a partial substitute material for reclamation, the shear characteristics of two-phase mixture soil with oyster shells were investigated with $\overline{CU}$ test. From various experiments, it was found that the increase of mixed ratio of oyster shells causes the shear strength of mixed soil. And this phenomenon not only depends on friction due to confining pressure such as pure clay but also is influenced by shaping skeleton of oyster shells. Also, it was discovered that there were many influences by clay-oyster shell mixture from the study of the secant modulus and dilatancy characteristics of mixed soil. In addition, variation of oyster shell skeleton during shearing stage is examined applying modifying coefficient concept.

Recently, waste landfills built on seashores have been increased because of the easy availability of broad area near the urban communities. To evaluate the performance of the marine clay landfill liner numerical contaminant transport analyses are performed by selecting the typical section of a waste landfill built on seashores and using hydraulic conductivity data obtained from the site. Also, the laboratory electrical resistivity test and the in-situ corrosion test are performed in order to analyze the influence of the soil and leachates composing the landfills on the construct ion materials. From the results of contaminant transport analyses, it is shown that the leachates can be migrated faster through narrow pervious channels than the wide homogeneous pervious tedium and the importance of good quality barriers to prevent the contaminant migration is recognized. In the laboratory electrical resistivity test all the earth materials except the cover soils saturated with distilled water have small resistivities, which shows a high potential of corrosivity of soils composing landfills. However, the degree of corrosion of specimens buried in the landfills was not so severe except the zinc and carbon steel specimens. This apparently conflict results present the necessity of the investigation of other major factors and the long term in-situ corrosion test.

In the past, MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) disposal was typically done by recycling, incineration, or landfilling. In South Korea prior to the late 1950's, land burial was usually accomplished by disposal in an open dump. Currently, with increasing concerns and environmental recognition, MSW disposal and landfilling is more restricted. MSW landfill facilities have been developed with certain design and construction specifications. However, these methods have a space for improvement. MSW landfill facilities follow a step wise approach of design, construction, operation and closure management after use in agreement with established environmental and sanitary standards. This study intends to give a technical guidance for installation and consideration of newly established MSW landfill facilities, and also provide an establishment and regular inspection of MSW landfill facilities.

The sensitivity of a mehtanogen and sulfate-reducing bacterium isolated from a sea-based landfill site Cd$^{2+}$ and CU$^{2+}$ was studied. Methanogens and sulfate-reducing bacteria in leachates of the waste disposal site were enumerated using the MPN method. Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum KHT, isolated from the leachate, could not grow at 0.5 mM Cd$^{2+}$ or 1.0 mM CU$^{2+}$. Desulfotomaculum sp. RHT, isolated from the same leachate, was able to insolubilization 3.0 mM Cd$^{2+}$ or 2.0 mM CU$^{2+}$ by production of hydrogen sulfide. When strains KHT and RHT were cultured together in the presence of the heavy metals, strain KHT could grow at high heavy metal concentrations after insolubilization of the metals by strain RHT. strain RHT.

EAF(Electric Arc Furnace) Dust classified as special wastes containing heavy metal contaminants may cause to damage an environment such as underground water contamination if they were not treated properly. The possibility of producing the porous sintered body made from EAF Dust/clay composition system was studied. Mixing of EAF Dust and clay was carried out using wet-mixing process and two different sintering methods such as rapid and normal heat treatment were tried. By observing density, porosity and microstructure of sintered bodies, it was found that the bloating phenomenon depend on the contents of C, where the liquid phase occur or not during the sintering process. To obtain a light-aggregate of porous body due to bloating, the rapid heating was better than the normal heating at sintering process.

본 연구는 에너지를 집중적으로 사용하는 발전소와 대규모 공장 단지에서 발생하는 배기가스 중에 포함된 황산화물의 제거 방법에 관한 것으로서, 활성탄의 적절한 전처리를 통해 이산화황 흡착능을 향상시켜 머지 않은 장래에 엄격히 적용될 대기오염 기준을 만족시킴과 동시에, 오염 물질의 제거 효율이 높고 폐기물 매립의 부담이 없는 건식 탈황 공정의 효율향상에 기여하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. Activated Char나 활성탄을 이용하여 황산화물과 질소산화물을 동시에 제거하기 위해서는 Carbon 표면을 적절하게 처리함으로써 활성탄의 촉매활성을 향상시키는 것이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 활성탄을 열 및 $O_2$-NH$_3$ 혼합가스로 전처리하여 표면의 특성 변화와 SO$_2$ 흡착능에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. Coconut Shell로부터 제조한 활성탄을 NH$_3$의 농도를 변화시켜가며 $O_2$와의 혼합가스로 973~1173K에서 열처리하는 방법에 의해 전처리하여, 이률 고정층 반응기에서 SO$_2$흡착 및 반응실험을 수행하였고, 이 과정 중의 활성탄 표면의 특성변화를 원소분석, TPD(Temperature Programmed Desorption), FTIR(Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), Acid-Base Titration, SEM(Scanning Electrolic Microscopy)등의 분석 방법을 통해서 알아보았다. 그 결과, 활성탄을 열 및 $O_2$-NH$_3$혼합가스로 처리하여 환원성 분위기 하에서 표면 활성점을 증가시킴으로써 황산화물 흡착제거율이 향상됨을 얻었다.
