Printed wiring boards(PWBs) of the obsolete computers are composed of various organic and inorganic compounds as well as metals and alloys. As convinced that the valuable metals obtained from the PWBs are effectively utilized as secondary resources when recovered by economical methods, in this study, an investigation for characterizing the physical separation techniques is conducted. For the recovery of them, the sockets and chips dismantled from PWBs by scraping and residual resin boards are subjected to the appropriate separation processes according to the physical properties of each part. In the case of crushed socket scraps size ranged from -2.36 mm to +1.18 mm, approximately 97 wt% of the product obtained by magnetic separation consists of metallic compounds. In the case of chip scraps, 97% of Fe-Ni alloy and 95% of Cu metal are recovered by the combined process of air classification and dry magnetic separation in the size range from -2.36 mm to +0.15 mm. Ball milling is adopted in order to improve the removal efficiency of the thin-printed metallic materials on the residual resin boards and approximately 77% of Cu metal is recovered by zigzag separation after ball milling.

물리적인 건식 방법으로 소각 및 매립되는 생활계 폐플라스틱에 포함된 이물질을 제거하는 공정을 확립 연구를 수행하였다. 수집 운반되는 생활계 폐플라스틱 시료의 발생 장소, 위치 및 시간에 따라 포함된 이물질 종류가 다르고 수분의 함량에 있어 차이가 많이 있어 투입되는 시료에 대한 일차 이물질 분석이 필요하다. 이물질 분리 공정은 운반 $\rightarrow$ 파쇄 $\rightarrow$ 선별 분리(자력, 와류, 스크린) $\rightarrow$ 저장의 순서로 진행하였으며 파쇄시 흙 종류가 많이 포함된 경우에는 -0.8cm로 파쇄할 경우 효과적이나 일반적으로 -1.2cm 정도로 파쇄하여 이물질을 선별 분리하여도 이물질이 함유량이 3%이하이며, 회수율은 97% 이상이었다.

This study was carried out for establishing the physical recycling technique for commercializing process on household batteries. The procedure involves shape separator, crushing, magnetic separation, classification and eddy current separation in sequence. The separation capacity was 400-600 unit cell/hr with shape separation system. The impurities such as manganese and zinc in the magnetic product were below 0.1% respectively, the concentration of iron was above 99% in spent carbon zinc battery. Also non-magnetic products are composed of 22-30% En, 16-22% Mn, 1-3% Fe in the case oi spent zinc carbon battery. The amounts of other components such as carbon rod, plastics and separator were about 37-50%. From the eddy current separation of nonferrous products, the plate-type zinc components were separated up to 96% with 2,250-2,750 meter/min of the conveyor speed.

In this study, we have investigated the purification characteristics of quartz which size was 0.1mm to 0.3 mm by using physical separation techniques. The A and B samples which contained 95,864 mg/kg and 4,568 mg/kg of impurities were reduced upto 126 mg/kg and 174 mg/kg of impurities, respectively. So, removal ratios of the total impurities were about 97.85 wt.% and 96.19 wt.%, individually. At that time, the yields of the purified quartz (over 99.98 wt.% $SiO_2$) were 79.05 wt.% and 75.43 wt.% by using purification process including magnetic separation, gravity separation and scrubbing process. The most benefit in purification process of both different raw materials for iron element can be achieved by magnetic separation. Also, gravity separation is extremely successful for reducing aluminium element.

In general, recyclable items are separately discharged from households and then, hand-sorted into different types of valuables at materials recovery facilities (MRF). However, most of residues after hand-sorting are finally end up with landfill and/or incineration due to lack of separation technologies and economical reasons. In the present study, physical properties on recyclable items obtained from an MRF are investigated to improve the recovery of valuable items. The results of physical compositions based on the sizing tests are also presented.

Physical separation containing grinding, sieving, dry magnetic separation and air classification were carried out in order to recover Ta anode from waste Ta condenser. Roll crusher wat used for the liberation of resin and metals in closed circuit system. The liberation between Ta anode and resin was easily achieved, whereat some of metals did not liberated from the Ta anode when the waste condenser was crushed below 8 mesh. When the crushed sample were divided into 8/10 mesh, 10/18 mesh and -18 mesh, metals was mainly remained in 8/10 mesh in contrast to Ta anode was in +18 mesh. It was shown that resin was more easily crushed rather than metals from the result of that resin content was 71.5％ in -18 mesh. The liberation efficiency was different with the input size of the crushed sample and average efficiency was 62.3% due to the locked Ta anode particles. The results of air classification test for the crushed samples showed that optimal air flow are 39㎥/h, 32㎥/h, 20㎥/h. respectively. When the sample were separated with optimal condition, 94.45％ Ta anode containing 97.47 wt.％ Ta anode, 0.93 wt.％ resin. 1.61 wt.％ metal was recovered with 49.39 wt.％ yield.

Silica is an essential material in the electronics industries of LCDs and OLEDs, which particularly require high purity. This study attempted to find the optimal design of a magnetic separator for silica sand containing iron compounds using CFD simulation. Three designs of magnetic separation were prepared and their efficiency was examined. As a result of the evaluation, the sufficient contact of particulate silica with the surface of magnetic emitters improved the magnetic separation effects. In addition, the loss of $SiO_2$ and the removal rate of $Fe_2O_3$ depended strongly on the particle size, flow rate and magnetic flux density. In addition, magnetic separation is quite effective for a particle size of $10{\mu}m$ with a 0.2 m/s flow rate.

GM-CSF는 생체내에서 백혈구의 형성을 조절하는 인자이기 때문에 골수이식을 한 환자 및 화학요법이나 방사선 치료를 받은 암환자에게서 발생하는 백혈구의 감소현상을 완화시키는 역활을 한다. 항암 보조 치료제로서 의학적 효능을 나타낼 것으로 간주되는 인체의 GM-CSF를 유전자 재조합 기술로 효모에서 발현, 정제하여 물리화학적 특성을 밝히고 역가를 측정하고자 하였다. 효모로부터 rhGM-CSF의 발현율을 상승시키기 위해 초 분비 돌연변이 균주를 선별하였고 발효 배지 조성의 차이에 따른 발현율도 비교 측정하였다. 정제된 rhGM-CSF(LBD-005)는 여러 물리화학적 특성조사를 통해 구조나 역가면에서 상대치와 거의 일치함을 보여주었다. LBD-005는 당화된 GM-CSF와 당화되지 않은 형태의 혼합물이므로 Con-A column등을 사용하여 분리하고자 하였다. 당화된 GM-CSF와 혼합물의 물리화학적 특성을 각각 조사하였으나 유사하였고 당화에 따른 역가의 차이도 없었음을 알 수 있었다.
