The bottom ash of municipal solid waste incineration generated during incineration of municipal solid waste in metropolitan area consists of ceramics, glasses, ferrous materials, combustible materials and food waste and so on. Although the ferrous material was separated by the magnetic separation before the incineration process, of which content accounts for about $3{\sim}11%$ in bottom ash. The formation of a $Fe_3O_4-Fe_2O_3$ double layer(similar to pure Fe) on the iron surface was found during air-annealing in the incinerator at $1000^{\circ}C$. A strong thermal shock, such as that takes place during water-cooling of bottom ash, leads to the breakdown of this oxidation layer, facilitating the degradation of ferrous metals and the formation of corrosion products and it existed as $Fe_2O_3,\;Fe_3O_4\;and\;FeS_2$. So, many problems could occur in the use of bottom ash as an aggregate substitutes in construction field. Therefore, in this study, the separation of ferrous materials from municipal solid waste incineration bottom ash was investigated. In the result, the ferrous product(such as $Fe_2O_3,\;Fe_3O_4,\;FeS_2$ and iron) by magnetic separator at 3800 gauss per total bottom ash(w/w.%) accounted for about 18.7%, and 87.7% of the ferrous product was in the size over 1.18 mm. Also the iron per total bottom ash accounted for about 3.8% and the majority of it was in the size over 1.18 mm.

Characteristics of household wastes production from fishing village in small island was investigated. Investigation was conducted in August and December to represent seasonal characteristics of summer and winter, respectively. Amount of household wastes production was 0.65 kg/capita·day and this is relatively low value compared with nationwide average. Food wastes, papers, vinyl and plastics are major part of combustible portion in household wastes. Composting is inappropriate method as a final disposal method in terms of C/N ratio calculated from elemental analysis. It is recommended that incineration can be appropriate way as a final disposal method of household wastes because low heating value of household wastes is equivalent to that of crude oil. The fraction of food wastes in household is considerably higher than the values obtained from other residential areas in nationwide. Thus, it is evaluated that household composting devices and vermicomposting facilities are necessary to reduce the amount of food wastes. It also can be evaluated that incineration is optimal method as disposal method of household wastes from fishing village except food wastes.

Over the past two decades, the options for solid waste management have been changing from land disposal to recycling, waste-to-energy, and incineration due to growing attention for resource and energy recovery. In addition, the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission has become an issue of concern in the waste sector because such gases often released into the atmosphere during the waste management processes (e.g., biodegradation in landfills and combustion by incineration) can contribute to climate change. In this study, the emission and reduction rates of GHGs by the municipal solid waste (MSW) management options in D city have been studied for the years 1996-2016. The emissions and reduction rates were calculated according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change guidelines and the EU Prognos method, respectively. A dramatic decrease in the waste landfilled was observed between 1996 and 2004, after which its amount has been relatively constant. Waste recycling and incineration have been increased over the decades, leading to a peak in the GHG emissions from landfills of approximately $63,323tCO_2\;eq/yr$ in 2005, while the lowest value of $35,962tCO_2\;eq/yr$ was observed in 2016. In 2016, the estimated emission rate of GHGs from incineration was $59,199tCO_2\;eq/yr$. The reduction rate by material recycling was the highest ($-164,487tCO_2\;eq/yr$) in 2016, followed by the rates by heat recovery with incineration ($-59,242tCO_2\;eq/yr$) and landfill gas recovery ($-23,922tCO_2\;eq/yr$). Moreover, the cumulative GHG reduction rate between 1996 and 2016 was $-3.46MtCO_2\;eq$, implying a very positive impact on future $CO_2$ reduction achieved by waste recycling as well as heat recovery of incineration and landfill gas recovery. This study clearly demonstrates that improved MSW management systems are positive for GHGs reduction and energy savings. These results could help the waste management decision-makers supporting the MSW recycling and energy recovery policies as well as the climate change mitigation efforts at local government level.

This study characterized fly ash produced from a sewage sludge incineration facility in Korea to determine if the byproducts can be utilized. All the incinerated sewage sludge was from a city in Korea. To characterize fly ash and to determine if it can be utilized, pH, water contents, elemental components, particle size, surface morphology, heavy metal compositions, and others were analyzed. In average, pH was 6.2, and water contents was about 5%. T-N and $T-P_2O_5$ were 3% and 24.5%, respectively. Particle size averaged 836 nm; surface morphology did not exhibit any significant results. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis results revealed that major components of the fly ash were $P_2O_5$, CaO, MgO, $K_2O$. Composition of heavy metals by the Korea Standard Methods for Waste Quality did not exceed the criteria for specified wastes in Korea.

국내 건설산업의 축소에 따라 수요가 감소하고, 외국산 시멘트의 수입량이 증가하며, 시멘트 콘크리트가 환경문제와 연관이 있다는 인식이 확산되는 등 위기에 직면해 있는 국내 시멘트 산업은 재도약을 위하여 노력하고 있다. 한국양회공업협회, 산업자원부, 건설교통부 등의 후원으로 한국콘크리트학회에서 이러한 시멘트 및 콘크리트 관련산업의 환경 및 품질과 관련한 당면과제를 극복하고, 선진외국의 사례를 참고하여 국내 시멘트, 레미콘 등 콘크리트 관련산업의 경쟁력 제고를 도모하고자 지난 2006년 11월 17일(금)에 한양대학교 백남학술정보관 국제회의실에서 "환경과 콘크리트"를 주제로 시멘트 및 콘크리트 산업 경쟁력 향상을 위한 국제 심포지엄을 개최하였다. 이번 국제 심포지엄은 최근 산업폐기물을 시멘트 제조원료로 사용하는 것과 관련, 많은 논란이 일어나고 있는 가운데, 최근 언론보도에서는 다소 간과된 지구환경 보전측면에서 시멘트 콘크리트 산업이 공헌하는 측면에 대해서 활발한 주제 발표가 있어, 많은 주목을 받았다. 먼저, 외국연사로서 초청된 미국 시멘트협회(Portland Cement Association)의 Thomas B. Carter 부회장은 시멘트 산업이 반환경적인 측면으로 비추어지는 부분을 최소화할 수 있는 다양한 방안을 제시하였고, 일본 태평양시멘트 중앙연구소의 토미타 로쿠로 소장은 일본에서의 산업폐기물 사용 현황 및 다양한 산업폐기물 재활용 기술을 소개하였다. 특히, 일본에서 생산된 시멘트 1톤에 활용되는 폐재료 및 부산물의 양이 평균 400kg에 이르고, 생활쓰레기를 사용한 Eco-Cement의 생산현황 및 지방자치단체의 협조체제 등을 볼 때, 자연환경을 훼손하는 일부 부정적인 이미지만 부각되어 환경파괴의 주범으로까지 잘못 인식되고 있는 우리 현실과 극명하게 대비되어 눈길을 끌었다. 이어서 국내 연사로 나선 군산대학교 이승헌 교수는 "최근 일각에서 제기하고 있는 시멘트중의 미량성분으로 포함돼 있는 6가 크롬에 대한 유해성 여부에 대해 문제제기 차원에서는 바람직하나 시멘트를 유해물질이라고 단정짓는 감성적인 접근보다는 좀더 다양한 실험을 통해 이의 유해성 여부를 규명짓는 것이 선결되어야 한다" 고 언급하였다. 이에 심포지 엄에서 많은 관심을 불러일으킨 토미타로쿠로 일본 태평양시멘트 연구소장의 연구논문과 이승헌 교수의 연구논문을 중심으로 심포지엄의 성과를 간략하게 소개하고 시멘트 콘크리트 관련 전문가가 참석한 종합토론을 정리, 요약 게재한다.

As society progresses and becomes more complicated, improvements and demanded in the quality of life according to various interest groups. In relation to environment concerns, waste landfill sites in particular have been of concern. Conflicts involving treatment of such sites and decision making policies have been a point of contention between local governments, residents, and concerned organizations. To resolve these conflicts, this study developed the Multi-Criteria Spatial Decision Support System (MC-SDSS). The results of the case study revealed several conclusions; first, the approach used in this study can help to yield a better consensus for deciding upon waste landfill sites; next, by conducing sensitivity analysis, technical errors which can occur during the decision making process can be minimized; and finally, resistance from specific opposition groups can be effectively dealt with by using MC-SDSS.

Since climate change increases the risk of extreme rainfall events, concerns on flood management have also increased. In order to rapidly recover from flood damages and prevent secondary damages, fast collection and treatment of flood debris are necessary. Therefore, a quick and precise estimation of flood debris generation is a crucial procedure in disaster management. Despite the importance of debris estimation, methodologies have not been well established. Given the intrinsic heterogeneity of flood debris from local conditions, a regional-scale model can increase the accuracy of the estimation. The objectives of this study are 1) to identify significant damage variables to predict the flood debris generation, 2) to ascertain the difference in the coefficients, and 3) to evaluate the accuracy of the debris estimation model. The scope of this work is flood events in Ulsan city region during 2008-2016. According to the correlation test and multicollinearity test, the number of damaged buildings, area of damaged cropland, and length of damaged roads were derived as significant parameters. Key parameters seems to be strongly dependent on regional conditions and not only selected parameters but also coefficients in this study were different from those in previous studies. The debris estimation in this study has better accuracy than previous models in nationwide scale. It can be said that the development of a regional-scale flood debris estimation model will enhance the accuracy of the prediction.
