Various odor reduction systems are being operated at pig houses to improve livestock odor issues. However, the quantitative evaluation of odor reduction efficiency is not sufficiently conducted. The analysis of factors that affect the reduction efficiency also has not been sufficiently conducted. Therefore, in this study, the reduction efficiency of representative odor reduction facilities (bio-curtain, scrubber) operated by domestic pig houses was evaluated. The odor reduction efficiency was evaluated by sampling the air before and after the odor reduction facility in 6 pig houses. Livestock odors were evaluated for complex odors, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and VOC. To find factors for reduction efficiency, temperature, humidity, pH of washing resolution, type of washing water, and ventilation rate was measured. As a result, it was found that the scrubber system had the highest reduction efficiency. The reduction efficiency was found to be affected by the scrubber's washing resolution, filler, operating conditions, and size. Bio-curtains may have problems such as deterioration of fan performance due to ventilation fan load, groundwater pollution, and excessive use of groundwater.

The effect of SNC(silver nano colloid) on the emission reduction of odors such as ammonia ($NH_3$), hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$), and methane ($CH_4$) from swine excreta was studied. Silver has been used as an universal antibiotic substance and can reduce the emission of some gases by sterilizing action. Therefore, an apparatus which produces SNC was developed and was conducted its performance test. Also, the SNC made by the apparatus was applied to swine excreta sampled from a piggery in oder to find the effect on the reduction of odor emission. An electrolysis apparatus was developed to produce SNC and its capacity was 0.024 ppm/$hr{\cdot}L$. The effects of SNC on the reduction of odor emission from swine excreta were tested for bad smell gases of ammonia ($NH_3$), hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$) and methane ($CH_4$). For ammonia gas, factorial experiments were conducted to find the effects of concentration and application rate of SNC. The test results for the different concentrations of 20 ppm, 50 ppm, and 100 ppm showed that the more concentration of SNC was increased, the more emission reduction of ammonia gas increased. From the test results about the effect of application rate, the more SNC was applied, the more emission reduction of $NH_3$ increased. In order to reduce the concentration of $NH_3$ below 5 ppm, SNC of 50 ppm is recommended to be applied at an interval of 6 hours, and is mixed with swine excreta in the volumetric ratio of 4:1. For hydrogen sulfide gas, the concentration was decreased as time went by and was reduced rapidly in the first stage of the tests for all applied concentrations of SNC (20 ppm, 50 ppm, and 100 ppm). Especially, when 100 ml of SNC with 100 ppm was applied, emission of hydrogen sulfide gas was reduced rapidly during early 4 hours after the application of SNC. And, concentration of hydrogen sulfide gas was maintained below 20 ppm after 12 hours. For methane gas, t-test showed that there was no significance on the effect of its application for all applied concentrations of SNC. Therefore, it was concluded that the application of SNC on swine excreta had no effect on the emission reduction of $CH_4$.

At the end of November 2010, livestock infected with foot and mouth disease (FMD) were buried, increasing concern about secondary pollution of drinking water and groundwater with odor. Hence, measures to reduce pollution of drinking water and groundwater are needed. In this study, based on livestock type and soil texture, five pilot-scale burial sites were monitored for the past three years from Feb 2012 to 2015. Leachate from the site was analyzed for 90 compounds. A detailed investigation has been completed, looking into organic matter decomposition characteristics of the buried bodies, relevant trace elements thereof, and in particular metabolite concentration changes such as the degree of decomposition of a carcass. From the results, no detectable heavy metals, including cadmium and arsenic, were measured. Among animal types, the rate of cattle decomposition is faster than swine decomposition, and the decomposition of the bodies were performed in sequence from sand, clay loam, sandy loam.

Waste lubricating oil(WLO)s have been recycled as energy source through direct fuel in cement kilns and fossil power plants, or as fuel oils, or re-refined lubricating base oils. In our country, they have been recycled as low grade fuel oil through chemical treatment process. In 2003, extended producer responsibility (EPR) system was adopted from deposit system on sale of lubricating oils in order to promote their recycleing rate. However, our recycling rate of WLOs have been stagnant(below 70%) for last 5 years. And there has been no research work on recycling of WLOs as re-refined base oil until now in this country. Stabilization technology of thermally cracked oils to reduce tar and malodor and to improve their color for production of high grade fuel oil, and a novel process production of high grade re-refined lubricating base oil from WLOs have been developed and commercialized recently in Canada and U.S.A., respectively. Several countries like Australia, Italy, Germany and U.S.A., etc. are encouraging recycling companies to recycle WLOs as re-refined lubricating oil by giving greater subsidies or benefits compared to other recycling methods. They also adopt a policy to purchase re-refined lubricating oil preferentially in the federal or local governments and to recommend consumers to purchase it willingly. Based on the facts that several advanced countries have adopted a policy to recycle WLOs as re-refined base oil for saving of petroleum resource and reduction of environmental pollution, it is right time to be considered that our present policy for recycling of WLOs should be reevaluated and the new policy of their environmental-friendly and sustainable recycling should be established.

Aeration is the most important and indispensable operation unit for the treatment of swine manure using aerobic liquid-composting process. The composting of swine manure depends on biological treatment process, but the highly concentrated ammonia nitrogen is required a pretreatment to expect the appropriate efficiency of the biological treatment process. In this study, pilot experiments have been carried out to estimate of the fit condition about ammonia stripping process as a pretreatment to aerobic liquid- composting. pH adjustment with $Ca(OH)_2$ was economically superior to use of NaOH and optimum pH of ammonia stripping was 12.3, ammonia nitorgen was rapidly removed as pH were increased at $$35^{\circ}C$$. When air stripping is performed before aerobic liquid-stripping, a high initial pH is required for complete ammonia removal and is additional effects such as organic substances, phosphorus, turbidity, and color removal. Stripping process was very efficient in the pretreatment of highly concentrated ammonia nitrogen for composting of swine manure. Emission rate of gaseous ammonia was $0.5355mole\;s^{-1}$ at initial time and $0.0253mole\;s^{-1}$ at finitial time. The fit condition of ammonia stripping in this study were at the temperature of $$35^{\circ}C$$, and the pH of 12.3 during 48 hours.

맨홀 및 관로에 퇴적되는 유사는 우수관거의 통수능을 감소기키고 우수관거 시스템의 효율을 저하시켜, 맨홀에서 역류를 발생시켜 저지대 침수의 한 원인인 되고 있다. 또한 관거내에서 유수가 일정한 유속을 확보하지 못하면 오염물이 침전되고, 관거내 유하시간이 길어져 침전물 부패로 인한 황화물질 및 악취 등이 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 우수 및 하수관거 시스템에서 유사와 관련된 주된 연구는 관거내의 유사거동 특성을 규명하고자 하는 것이었다. 그러나 맨홀과 관련하여서는 맨홀내의 오염물 지체시간 및 확산 특성분석이 전부였고, 유사의 퇴적 및 배출 등과 관련된 거동특성 연구는 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 유입관과 유출관이 $90^{\circ}$로 접합된 맨홀을 대상으로 수리실험을 실시하고, 맨홀형태(사각형, 원형), 유사유입형태(연속주입, 일정기간주입), 유사종류(주문진표준사, 모래), 유사유입량 및 맨홀내부형상 변화에 따른 맨홀내 유사퇴적량을 확인하였다. 실험결과 그림 1과 같이 $90^{\circ}$ 접합맨홀에서는 유사유입형태와 무관하게 유입유사량이 증가할수록 퇴적량 또한 증가하였다. 그러나 유사퇴적량은 사각형맨홀보다 원형맨홀에서 적었다. 이는 관거가 $90^{\circ}$로 접합된 맨홀내에서의 유사거동 양상은 우선 유입되는 유사가 맨홀바닦에 퇴적되고 와류에 의해 부유되는 유사가 유출관을 통해 배출되는데 사각형맨홀에 비하여 원형맨홀에서 와류가 더 크게 형성되기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 유사가 일정기간주입되는 경우 원형맨홀 내부에 퇴적되는 유사량은 거의 없었다. 사각형맨홀내부에 벤칭을 설치한 경우 설치전과 비교하여 퇴적량은 50%이상 저감되었고, 일정기간주입시에는 벤칭 설치 후 유사퇴적량은 거의 없었다. 유입유사가 모래인 경우 맨홀내 퇴적량은 주문진표준사와 비교하여 증가하였다. 모래는 주문진 표준사와 비교하여 중량이 크다. 따라서 같은 흐름조건에서 주문진표준사와 비교하여 부유되는 유사량이 적고, 배출되는 유사량 또한 적었다. 유량과 관거유속이 동일한 조건에서 유출관과 유입관이 일직선상으로 연결된 중간맨홀내부에 퇴적된 주문진표준사의량과 비교하여 $90^{\circ}$ 접합맨홀의 퇴적량이 상대적으로 적었다. 이 또한 앞서 기술한 와류의 영향으로 판단된다. 일반적으로 $90^{\circ}$접합맨홀내부에서 발생하는 와류가 중간맨홀보다 크고, 이로 인해 에너지손실은 커지지만 유사거동과 관련하여서는 와류가 크게 발생하는 맨홀조건에서 퇴적량이 적음을 실험적으로 확인하였다.

This study was carried out to investigate the influence of artificial zeolite on the change of temperature, gas emission, water content and chemical properties during the composting process with the mixture of animal feces, broken bark and extruded rice hull. Artificial zeolite was added 0, 0.5, 1, 3 and 5% volume of the raw composting material, and proceeded 1.2m every day with mobile stacking escalator. Temperature was increased, and water content was decreased in the composting pile by addition of artificial zeolite. This caused to accelerate decomposition of organic matter during composting. $NH_3$ was emitted the highest at 6th day after stacking, then decreased gradually. And addition of artificial zeolite caused to decrease greatly in $NH_3$ emission from composting pile. As result of this, content of nitrogen in the compost was increased by addition of artificial zeolite. Emission of $CH_4$ was the highest at early stacking stage, and that was decreased drastically at 8th day. Emission of $CH_4$ was also decreased greatly by addition of artificial zeolite at 5th days after stacking. It may be resulted from adsorption of $CH_4$ into the molecular sieve structure of artificial zeolite and low water content by high temperature fermentation.

Hybrid hydrothermal carbonization (Hybrid HTC) technology is a proprietary thermochemical process for two or more organic wastes.The reaction time is less than two hours with temperature range 180~250℃ and pressure range 20~40bar. Thanks to accumulation of the carbon of the waste during Hybrid HTC process, the energy value of the solid fuel increases significantly with comparatively low energy consumption. It has also a great volume reduction with odor removal effect so that it is evaluated as the best solid fuel conversion technology for various organic wastes. In this study of the hybrid hydrothermal carbonization, the effect on the calorific value and yield of Cambodian mango waste were evaluated according to changes in temperature and reaction time. Through the study, parameter optimization has been sought with improving energy efficiency of the whole plant. It is decomposed in the Hydro-Carbonation Technology to Generate Gas. At this time, it is possible to develop manufacturing and production technologies such as hydrogen (H₂) and methane (CH₄). Based on the results of the study, a pilot plant (2t/day) has been proposed for future commercialization purpose along cost analysis, mass balance and energy balance calculations.
