Generation and recycling potential of organic waste in Korea were estimated. Status of organic waste composting and compost utilization also were surveyed to promote the recycling of organic waste. From 1994 to 1997, generation of garbage decreased gradually while recycling rate increased due to positive governmental strategy. During the same period, livestock waste increased 11.2%. Municipal wastewater sludge was generated 3,500 ton/day which was 0.03% of wastewater treated in 1996. The energy Potential of industrial organic waste was estimated to 288 million TOE which was 1.75% of the nationwide first energy consumption in 1996. Recycling of industrial sludge was low to 31%, while recycling of animal waste, plant scraps, and wasted paper were relatively high over 50%. Industrial sludge should be recycled more as it was the most part of industrial organic waste. Conventional composting materials were mainly livestock waste, food processing waste, fishery waste, sawdust, and nightsoil. Garbage and sludge have been composted recently. 420,000 tons of compost in 1996 were produced by 288 makers, the most of which were utilized in agriculture. It was suggested that separated collection, compost standard, and quality management should be provided to promote the composting of organic waste.

In this study, traditional treatment scenario of food wastes that collected and transported food waste is recycled in large treatment facilities and suggested treatment scenario of onsite zero discharge system that food waste is treated in housing complex were supposed. The scenarios were compared and analyzed by capital expenditure, oil consumption, $CO_2$ emission quantity, operating expenditure and management expenses. The capital expenditure, oil consumption and $CO_2$ emission quantity of small scale dispersion dealing method is the lowest compared to traditional treatment method. As a results, it is possible to obtain the effect that operating expenditure was reduced by 91% and management expenses was reduced by 40% with suggested treatment method. The treatment method that have low capital expenditure is tend to lower oil consumption and $CO_2$ emission quantity. The small scale dispersion dealing method have the lowest capital expenditure, oil consumption and $CO_2$ emission quantity and the linked method with sewage treatment have the highest expenditure and $CO_2$ emission quantity. Eventually, the optimal model of onsite zero discharge system in housing complex is small scale dispersion dealing method.

It is important to separate the compostables from waste for successful operation of composting plant, since various compositions are mixed in it. For the separation of compostables, it is necessary to estimate total amounts of compostables from several sources. Based on it, required capacity and number of composting plant as well as proper waste collection and transportation system can be determined. So, amounts of garbage, major target material for composting. were estimated in this study. In survey of unit garbage generation(UGG). different estimation results would be obtained depending on the basis of its measurement. However, previous researches did not consider it. In this paper, the correlations between area and the number of user of garbage source were analyzed to find the related equations which were apllyed to estimation of total generation. Obtained results are as the following. Relative variations of measured UGG based on area and custumer are 62.5 and 52.8, respectively. In linear regression, related equation between area and custumer was Y=0.244X+59.0 (X=area, Y=custumer). The correlation factor r is 0.904. Equation Y=616.5X/(X+1215.4) was also obtained from linear regression using Monod equation (r=0.720). From the first order equation and measured data of UGG based on custumer, amounts of garbage generation from restaurant in Seoul and the whole country were calculated to 2043.9 ton/d and 9014.0 ton/d, respectively. But, the values calculated from measured data of UGG based on area were as low as 821.3 ton/d Cin Seoul) and 3821.0 ton/d(in the whole country). Consequently, the measurement of unit garbage generation based on the number of custumer was more favorable to lessen the points of survey and to guarantee the representative values. Especially, it would fit well on restaurant having statistics of area.

분뇨는 예로부터 비료로 사용되어 왔으나 화학비료의 일반화와 수인성전염병 및 기생충 감염 등 위생적 문제 때문에 현재 그 사용이 제한되고 있으며 도시화로 인하여 분뇨의 수거지역이 그 사용지역과 밀어 이를 위생적으로 처리하기 위해 많은 비용이 소요된다. 이러한 분뇨를 적당한 수분조절제 혹은 탄소원을 혼합하여 퇴비로 만들어 토양개량제로 사용하는 방법을 확립하기 위해 본 연구에서는 실험실 규모의 퇴비제조장치를 만들어 분뇨-왕겨 혼합물의 퇴비화 최적조건을 검토하였다. 분뇨-왕겨 혼합물을 채운 퇴비제조장치를 6$0^{\circ}C$ water bath에 장치하고 수분함량, 탄소원의 양, 통기량을 변화시키면서 발생하는 $CO_2$, NH$_3$의 량을 측정하여 퇴비화속도를 측정하였다.

농약의 직주입 혼합방식은 작업자의 안전에 기여하며 남은 농약은 용기와 함께 수거되어 재사용 되므로 환경보전 및 경제적 이점이 있다. 그러나 주입식 방제기의 분관내 농약혼합액이 노즐에 이르는 시간까지의 유동특성인 지연시간은 농약 살포량에 오차를 유발한다. 본 연구는 이 지연시간이 미치는 실제 살포오차의 정도를 파악하려 시뮬레이션을 행하였다. 시뮬레이션의 결과에 의하면 오차는 상당히 심각한 것으로 판단되었으며 지연시간을 단축하려는 여러 방법을 검토하였다. 분관의 직경을 줄여 유동속도를 빠르게 하거나, 혼입 농약의 양을 일정하게 유지하며 방제속도를 가능한 목표속도에 맞추는 방법 등은 약간의 오차를 줄일 수 있을 뿐이었고, 농약을 각 노즐에 주입함으로써 오차를 최소화할 수 있으나 미소계략의 문제를 내포하였다. 따라서 농도의 변화에 따른 지연시간을 없앤 직주입 총유량 제어방식을 통하여 노즐 배출유량을 방제속도의 변이에 따라 보상하며 비례적으로 농약을 주입하여 농도를 일정하게 유지할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study examines the problem of efficient scheduling of waste collection in isolated regions like islands when the waste accumulated amount surpasses the standard ceiling by effectively tracking the accumulating trends based on the optimum checking model of Keller (1974). To grasp whether the waste accumulated amount in isolated regions exceeds the standard ceiling, the relevant authorities can tightly check during a set period, but this entails higher monitoring costs. On the other hand, if the accumulated waste over the ceiling is not immediately checked and collected, and continues for a set period of time, innovative efforts for waste management may be highly demanded. As such, the tradeoffs are considered to draw the optimal checking schedule. This study shows that the authorities get to check less frequently the waste accumulation trends if the monitoring costs increase or when the failure rate of waste management systems drops. On the other hand, they get to check more frequently if the accumulated waste amount in isolated regions exceeds the standard ceiling and welfare loss grows as a result. It also shows that frequent checking is the optimal choice if the social marginal benefits enjoyed from innovative efforts made to keep accumulated waste below the standard ceiling, are not significant.
