Chemical catalyst products are applied to various fields such as petrochemical process, air pollution prevention facility and automobile exhaust gas purifier. The domestic and overseas chemical catalyst market is increasing every year, and the amount of waste catalyst generated thereby is also increasing. Most of the used chemical catalyst products, such as desulfurized waste catalysts and automobile waste catalysts containing valuable metals are important recyclable resources from a substitute resource point of view. The recycling processes for recovering valuable metals have been commercialized through some urban mining companies, and SCR denitration catalysts have been recycled through some remanufacturing companies. In this paper, the amount of domestic production and recycling of major catalyst products have thus been investigated and analyzed so as to be used as basic data for establishing industrial support policy for recycling of used chemical catalyst products. Also tasks for promoting the recycling of used chemical catalyst products are suggested.

The use of regenerative energy in AC drive systems has been an issue since the system became an industry standard in the 1990s. According to the quantity of the regenerative energy, the braking resistor in the case of low capacity was common. However the use of such low amount of energy is actively discussed, and the method of mounting the regenerative converter is becoming popular. In this paper, an isolated regenerative converter for reducing the circulating current which is mentioned as the biggest disadvantage of the conventional power regenerative converter system is proposed. In order to save energy, employing a power regenerative converter system for utilizing regenerative energy in an AC drive system is common. However due to the structure of the system, a circulating current is generated, which inevitably causes a decrease in efficiency. In this paper, an isolated regenerative power converter system is proposed to solve the circulating current and computer simulation to verify the possibility. The simulation results show that 20% of the circulating current of the conventional system does not appear in the proposed system, and the validity of the proposed system is confirmed.

In this study, laboratory test, program analysis, and test construction in the field were performed to utilize Supplementary Cementitious Material (SCM) developed by recycled resources for slope reinforcement as slope improvement material for aging reservoir, and the results were analyzed. As results of the laboratory test, it was analyzed that the mixing ratio of SCM was appropriate by 9 %, and the coef. of permeability was decreased by about 10,000times, indicating a value close to that of the waterproof material applied in Korea. In addition, as a result of program analysis and test construction, it was analyzed that seepage did not occur in the part of reinforced using SCM and showed a higher safety facto r than domestic criteria. Therefore, since it shows sufficient waterproof and reinforcing effects in aging reservoir, it is judged that the slope improvement using SCM can replace the cement for repair and reinforcement method.

In line with the 4th Industrial Revolution, facility maintenance technologies for building smart factories are receiving attention and are being advanced. In addition, technology is being applied to smart farms and smart fisheries following smart factories. Among them, in the case of a recirculating aquaculture system, there is a motor pump that circulates water for a stable quality environment in the tank. Motor pump maintenance activities for recirculating aquaculture system are carried out based on preventive maintenance and data obtained from vibration sensor. Preventive maintenance cannot cope with abnormalities that occur before prior planning, and vibration sensors are affected by the external environment. This paper proposes an anomaly detection algorithm that utilizes ADTK, a Python open source, for motor pump anomaly detection based on data collected through current sensors that are less affected by the external environment than noise, temperature and vibration sensors.

In this study, in order to develop organic-inorganic hybrid packaging materials(PM) of bike paths using blast furnace slag(BS) as industrial by-products, fundamental properties of organic-inorganic hybrid packaging materials were performed. Test result, the increase of Acryl emulsion polymer(AEP)/binder(B) ratios tends to delay the setting time, to increase the table flow, to decrease the strength by material segregation and to increase the length change. The optimal mix proportion of AEP decides on 40%(AEP/B) due to workability and high strength. The increase of BS replacement ratios also tends to delay the setting time, to separate AEP from B and to decrease the strength by material segregation. When BS replacement ratios were lower than 40%, they are satisfied with goal properties.

In the industry, due to the carbon dioxide gas produced during cement production is increasing, research on recycling by-products has been actively conducted. In the industrial by-products, the high calcium fly ash(HCFA) produced by the blast-furnace in the circulating fluidized bed combustion method has a high ratio of CaO and CaSO4. In view of this, the purpose of this is to use high calcium fly ash(HCFA) as a stimulant in blast furnace slag powder and use it as a cement substitute. As a result, it is judged that the substitution ratio of HCFA should be 15% or less. In addition, although durability and strength are relatively lower than of OPC, it is considered that it can be utilized as an environmentally building material.

도시화에 따른 토지이용패턴의 변화로 불투수면적이 증가하여 빗물의 침투량이 감소하고, 유출량은 증가하는 등 집중호우시 침수피해를 야기하게 된다. 또한 오염원의 증가로 수질오염과 지하수고갈에 따른 건천화 등 부정적 효과를 초래하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 최근 기후변화에 따라 물순환 체계가 변화하고 있으며, 이로 인해 도시의 홍수 및 가뭄이 극심해지고 시민의 삶의 질도 위협받고 있다. 우리나라의 경우 지속적으로 도시화 및 불투수면적이 증가하고 있으며, 집중호우의 발생빈도 또한 높아 심각한 수자원 물재와 홍수피해위험이 높다. 이에 도시의 물환경 변화 및 왜곡된 물순환 체계를 지속가능하도록 개선해야 할 필요성이 제기되었다. 환경부 및 국토부 등 정부기관에서는 물환경지속가능성을 위하여 저영향개발 기술요소를 도입하고 적용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 침수위험지역의 저영향개발기법을 도입하여 유출저감 효과를 모의하고, 경제성 분석을 하였다. 본 연구의 대상지역은 경상남도 김해시 안동지구이며, 면적 364.2ha, 투수층면적 160.7ha, 불투수층면적 203.5ha로 불투수율은 55.90%로 산정되었다. 대상지역인 안동지구 우수관로현황 조사결과 (30년빈도 강우강도 적용) 관로의 통수능 검토시 전체관로 26.97km 중 통수능 부족관로는 15.60km로 전체대비 약 57.8%로 나타났다. 안동지구 내 우수관거는 간선관로의 경우 10년빈도, 지선관로의 경우 5년빈도로 설계, 시공되어 있으므로 각종 공단이 입지한 시가지인 안동지구는 도로포장등으로 인해 불투수층이 대부분을 차지해, 강우시 도로표면 유출수의 증대로 침수피해가 가중되는 것으로 판단되었다. 이에 저영향개발기법을 적용하여 맨홀로 유입되는 직접유출(DCIA, Directly Connected Impervious Area)를 줄이고, 유지관리 등을 고려하여 경제성을 평가하여 향후 침수위험지구 관거개량시 저영향개발기법을 활용할 수 있도록 하고자 한다.

기후변화로 인하여, 홍수, 사막화, 엘니뇨 등의 자연재해가 이전보다 더 발생하고 있다. 기후변화 적응은 전 세계적으로 기후변화 대응보다 중요해지고 있다. 기후변화 적응을 위한 이슈 중 하나가 물 순환이다. 각 국가에서는 물 순환을 활성화하기 위한 기술을 개발하고 있다. 특히, 저영향개발(LID, Low Impact Development)이라는 물을 확보하기 위한 정책이 각 국가별로 추진되고 있으며, 이에 따른 기술이 개발되고 있다. 국내에서도 2001년에 국토해양부는 수자원장기종합계획을 발표하고, 환경부에서는 2013년에 LID기술요소 가이드라인과 환경영향평가 시 적용 가능한 저영향개발 매뉴얼을 개발하는 등 LID기술을 개발하고 적용하기 위한 정책을 펼치고 있다. 이러한 LID기술 중 하나가 빗물 집수시스템이며, 이 빗물집수시스템은 주거지역에서 빗물을 배수하고, 집수하여 빗물을 이용하기 위해 적용되고 있다. 현재 적용되고 있는 빗물 집수시스템은 측구 집수시스템과 원형 집수시스템이 있으며, 최근에는 수로형 집수시스템이 적용되는 지역도 있다. 본 연구에서는 전과정 평가(LCA, Life Cycle Assessment)를 이용하여 빗물 집수시스템의 환경성을 평가하고자 한다. 현재, 국내에서는 녹색건축물인증, 탄소성적 표지인증, 환경성적 표지인증 등 LCA를 이용하여 환경성을 평가하고 있다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 기후변화 측면에서 LCA를 적용하여 이산화탄소배출량을 평가하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 범위는 빗물집수시스템 30m로 가정하였으며, 측구 집수시스템, 원형 집수시스템 및 수로형 집수시스템의 건설, 운영 및 유지관리, 해체 및 폐기단계의 전 과정이다. 각 빗물 집수시스템에 대해 각 단계별로 이산화탄소 배출량을 산정한 결과, 수로형 집수시스템은 $2.82\;ton\;CO_2\;eq./set$이며, 원형 집수시스템은 $27.65\;ton\;CO_2\;eq./set$, 측구 집수시스템은 $21.54\;ton\;CO_2\;eq./set$이 배출되었다. 이산화탄소배출량 측면에서는 수로형 집수시스템이 나머지 두집수시스템보다 87~90%가 저감되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 저영향개발에 대응하는 동시에 기후변화를 대응한다는 측면에서 빗물 집수시스템 정책에 활용되고, 설계시에도 반영될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 추가적으로 이산화탄소뿐 만 아니라, 다른 환경성을 평가하는 연구가 진행될 필요가 있다.

Addressing urban noise problems, this study develops eco-friendly, inorganic sound-absorbing panels, overcoming the limitations of traditional PMMA and cement-based panels. These conventional panels pose safety risks due to flammability and environmental concerns due to carbon emissions. Utilizing industrial waste, the research comprises two phases: initial tests for physical and performance characteristics (fluidity, density, compressive strength, sound absorption) and subsequent development of optimized panel mixtures. This approach aims to replace existing panels with sustainable, effective alternatives, significantly contributing to safer, environmentally responsible urban infrastructure. The findings of this study have implications for the sound panel market, offering novel solutions for noise control while aligning with environmental and safety standards.

Blood circulation is one of the most important life support functions of our body. It is essential to maintain healthy blood circulation as problems with blood circulation can lead to numerous diseases and serious complications. This study developed women's leggings with gradual compression and soft surface heating functions to improve blood circulation, and evaluated their performance and wearability. A silicon print pattern was developed to provide gradual compression, and a flexible heating surface coated with MWCNT (multi-walled carbon nanotube) conductive ink was fabricated for comfort and thermal effect. For the design, incision lines and materials were applied in consideration of aesthetic aspects, and design lines and colors were altered using a 3D program. The developed leggings showed that blood circulation can be improved when gradual compression and heating functions are simultaneously applied. Results were confirmed through measurements of clothing pressure, blood flow, and surface temperature. In the subjective wearability evaluation, it was confirmed that wearers felt gradual pressure, and they showed high satisfaction with wearability and design.
