우리나라는 좁은 국토에 많은 인구가 밀집한 관계로 단위면적당 폐기물의 발생량이 세계 최고 수준이며, 해양 오염 방지를 위해 유기성 폐기물 해양 배출을 금지한 런던협약 등 기후변화 관련 규제가 강화되고 있다. 또한 화석연료의 고갈화로 대체에너지 개발이 시급한 현시점에서 폐자원 에너지화 사업의 인프라 구축 및 대응책 수립이 요구되고 있다. 이에 우리나라는 2008년 5월 "폐기물 에너지화 종합대책" 이후 2009년 7월 "폐자원 및 바이오매스 에너지 대책" 실행계획 수립으로 폐기물 에너지화 사업 도입을 적극 추진하고 있다. 폐자원 에너지화 기술은 화석연료 대체로 인한 온실가스 감축효과가 있어 폐기물 처리, 화석연료 대체, 온실가스 감축이라는 일석삼조의 기술이다.

Various type of tritium wastes can be produced from nuclear fuel cycle process satisfying non-proliferation, CANDU reactors, and nuclear industry. Activities of tritium processing in the world were surveyed to develope the processing technologies of tritium wastes. The tritium wastes were classified into gas phase, liquid phase, and organic phase. And the treatment techniques for the tritium wastes are analyzed. Development of tritium processing technologies is essential to finding public acceptance of radioactive wastes and forming a solid foundation to foster the growth of nuclear industry in Korea.

Characteristics of hydrogen production from various food wastes in anaerobic batch reactors were evaluated to assess the energy potential of organic wastes. Organic wastes which were used in this study were scallion as vegetable, apple as fruit, rice as grain and pork as meat. Ultimate hydrogen yield of scallion, apple, rice and pork were 0.46, 0.47, 0.62 and $0.05mol\;H_2/mol\;hexose$, respectively. On the other hand, hydrogen production rates of scallion, apple, rice and pork were 0.013, 0.021, 0.014 and $0.005mol\;H_2/mol\;hexose/h$, respectively. These results indicated that anaerobic hydrogen fermentation from food waste except for meat was effective in removing organic material as well as producing renewable energy. Volatile fatty acids increased as hydraulic retention time was increased. In the hydrogen fermentation, acidification degree of rice was measured as the highest rate of 75.8% whereas pork was found as the lowest rate of 35.2%.

This paper investigates the dehydration and RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) production of organic wastes, livestock manure and sewerage sludge with pressurized hydrothermal treatment process. The renewable technology for the organic wastes must involve short treatment time required, reusable energy source, anti-odor and viruses, low cost for the treatment, and well-fertilization. The pressurized hydrothermal treatment process promotes to evaporate moisture in the waste after being shortly treated in a reactor, which uses steam and heat supplied by an external boiler. By the pressurized steam, the cell walls of the waste break and effectively release the internal moisture. Then, the dried waste can be mixed with waste vinyls to produce RDF with a higher heating value as high as 6,700 kcal/kg.

To evaluate the fundamental factors in the recovery of biogas from the landfills composed of about 40% of volatile solids, the experiments for the samples from the operating landfill site as well as from the laboratory-scale lysimeter were undertaken. In the test of landfills, the change of moisture content, the content of volatile solids (VS), the ratio of saccharide to ligin(Y) and the estimation of landfills reclaimed and the correlationship between VS and Y were investigated. During the experiments with laboratory-lysimeter, temperature, pH, gas production rate, the composition of gas were measured. The mathematical model derived from the the rate coefficient of gas production(k) were proposed from the results of this investigation. Furthermore, the proposed mathematical model from this study was verified with the obtained values from experiments.

This study was conducted to review Waste Transfer Stations(WTSs) in Seoul, especially focusing on three aspects, main roles, neighbor friendly and regulation compliance, and to draw out recommendation for improvement. The 46 units of all 65 WTSs treated large amount of waste on a day shipping-out schedule, the other 19 WTSs treated small amounts of wastes which were transported after 3~30 days stock. About 57% of WTSs are located in residential or commercial area. Other 57% of WTSs were open without walls. 79% of WTSs were placed alone. Just 17% of WTSs were permitted as environmental infrastructures by urban planning law, and 31% of WTSs were operated by private waste haulers who were permitted by waste management law. Most WTSs in Seoul seemed to go well with on-going policy demand, such as regionalizing waste treatment facilities, expanding waste recycling, and so on. However lots of WTSs did not implement sufficient environmental protection measures, and partly not compliant with regulations related to urban infrastructures. In the future, the issue on sealing facilities and integrating functions of waste management facilities could be considered in order to fit in urban environment.
