Effective extraction of platinum group elements by dissolving waste platinum scrap from the display industry and solvent extraction, was studied. The extracted platinum solution was prepared as a precursor solution for diesel automotive exhaust gas purification catalyst and its catalytic activity was tested. The behavior of aqueous species of platinum was investigated through solution chemistry and based on the existence and behavior of these chemical species, the possibility of extraction and separation was established. By dissolving waste scrap by electrochemical method, the dissolution time of scrap was shortened and the extraction efficiency was increased. Through separation and removal of rhodium component, solvent extraction by TBP, and stripping by hydrochloric acid, Pt-Chloride-$H_2O$ solution was prepared. And then, an platinum amine complex solution through amination reaction with this solution as a raw material was prepared. The possibility of producing high-value platinum compounds from platinum group waste scrap was investigated by preparing platinum amine complex solution and then examining the catalytic activity with this amine precursor on the combustion reaction of carbon black.

The improvement of energy conservation mandates decrease consumption of fossil fuels and minimize negative impacts on the environment, which originates from large cooling and heating demand. The absorption heat pump technology has a large potential for energy saving in this respect. Adsorption heat pump is a means to upgrade waste heat without addition of extra thermal energy. The increase of absorbed amount is of great importance for absorption heat pump cycle. In this study, in order to improve the performance of absorber, the absorbers of two different types have been investigated using methanol-glycerine as a working fluid. The former was tangential feed of liquid phase without spiral tube in the absorber and the latter was with spiral tube in the absorber. The latter was found to be more effective in enhancing the mass and heat transfer to increase the absorption performance.

The improvement of energy conservation is mandatory to decrease consumption of fossil fuels and to minimize negative impacts on the environment which originates from large cooling and heating demand. The absorption heat pump technology has a large potential for energy-saving in this respect. Absorption heat pump is a means to upgrade waste heat without the addition of extra thermal energy. The higher performance of absorber is of great importance for absorption heat pump cycle. In this study, in order to improve the performance of absorber, the absorber of tangential feed of a liquid phase with spiral tube has been investigated using methanol-glycerine as a working fluid. The spiral tube and tangential feeding generate the turbulence into the liquid flow while increasing the mass and heat transfer coefficients. The simultaneous heat and mass transfer were found to take place in a liquid turbulent film in the absorber with the spiral tube during the process of gas absorption. By calculating mass and heat transfer coefficients by measurement of the concentration and the temperature of each position in the absorber, the entrance was found to be more effective in enhancing mass and heat transfer.

As the frequency of earthquakes in some regions including Pohang City has increased in recent years, the need for countermeasures against earthquakes in Korea is demanded from various aspects. Liquefaction occurred after the earthquake, and local residents' anxiety increased due to the lack of preparation for and coping with the earthquake. In order to cope with these phenomena and relieve the anxiety of local residents, we analyze the limitations of the existing earthquake response system and come up with a method to solve them. Therefore, we propose, implement, and prove the possibility of a one-stop mobile support diffusion system capable of expressing and spreading evaluation-based earthquake information that can actively cope with disaster situations.

Livestock sludge contains high concentration of organic matter and some heavy metals. In case of discharging into the sea, it might have negative effects in the environment. In this study thermal hydrolysis reaction was applied for livestock sludge to determine the fuelization possibility and obtain the best operation conditions. Livestock sludges were thermally hydrolyzed at temperature range $170{\sim}210^{\circ}C$ in sealed high-temperature reactors. Liquid products and dewatered cakes were analyzed. The operation at $190^{\circ}C$ was found to be best effective condition. High heating value and low heating value were 5,050 kcal/kg and 4,740 kcal/kg, respectively. Therefore, fuelization of livestock sludge using thermal hydrolysis reactor is found to be highly effective.

EAF(Electric Arc Furnace) Dust classified as special wastes containing heavy metal contaminants may cause to damage an environment such as underground water contamination if they were not treated properly. The possibility of producing the porous sintered body made from EAF Dust/clay composition system was studied. Mixing of EAF Dust and clay was carried out using wet-mixing process and two different sintering methods such as rapid and normal heat treatment were tried. By observing density, porosity and microstructure of sintered bodies, it was found that the bloating phenomenon depend on the contents of C, where the liquid phase occur or not during the sintering process. To obtain a light-aggregate of porous body due to bloating, the rapid heating was better than the normal heating at sintering process.

Calcium phosphates recognized as important bio-materials have been successfully synthesized by simple precipitation using waste abalone shells, which are rich mineral sources of calcium. Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) originated from abalone shells was used as calcium source (precursor) for the preparation. Synthesis of calcium phosphates was performed by reacting calcium hydroxide with phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄) in aqueous solution. The initial precursor Ca/P ratios were adjusted to 1.50, 1.59 and 1.67, and the effect of the composition and the heat treatment on the synthesized powders and sintered bodies was investigated. The phases of the sintered ceramics prepared at 1150℃ were hydroxyapatite (HAp), β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), and biphasic phosphate (HAp with β-TCP)), which were determined by the initial precursor Ca/P ratios. The results demonstrate the possibility for the synthesis of high value-added calcium phosphates from economical starting materials with low cost and high availability.

This study was conducted to evaluate the response of CIDR-S on estrus synchronization of dairy goats and the effect of artificial insemination on conception rate. Estrus synchronization of sexually matured Saanen goats was induced with insertion of CIDR-S into vagina for 15 days and injection of 500 IU PMSG before removal of CIDR-S. Artificial insemination was conducted using liquid or frozen semen by intra-cervical insemination with synchronized does. Estrus synchronization was 90% using CIDR-S insertion for 15 days. Conception rate of inseminated does was 20% - 25%, while that of natural mated does was 100%. These results suggested that synchronization of dairy goats can be successfully induced and artificial insemination method has to be improved for the practical use in dairy goats.
