LCD televisions and monitors use cold cathode fluorescence lamps (CCFLs) to illuminate the screen. Most CCFLs contain mercury and they have to be carefully handled at the end of their lives as per minimum treatment standards under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directives. CCFLs were carefully separated from mold frames of waste LCD units for primary decontamination of mercury/fluorescent compound mixture using CCFL decontamination system designed and fabricated in the present research. Residual mercury was further removed by employing a pyro-process, where crushed CCFL tubes transferred from primary decontamination process were subject to heat treatment at $550^{\circ}C$ in a box furnace: more than 99% of mercury was removable from waste CCFLs.

Among the byproducts from thermal power plant using coal combustion, fly ash as mineral admixture is widely utilized in concrete manufacturing for its engineering merits. However residuals including bottom ash are usually reclaimed. This study presents an evaluation of engineering properties in cement mortar with pond ash (PA). For this work, two types of pond ash (anthracite and bituminous coal) are selected from two reclamation sites. Cement mortar specimens considering two w/c (0.385 and 0.485) ratios and three replacement ratio of sand (0%, 30%, and 60%) are prepared and their workability, mechanical, and durability performance are evaluated. Anthracite pond ash has high absorption and smooth surface so that it shows reasonable workability, strength development, and durability performance since it has dense pore structure due to smooth surface and sufficient mixing water inside. Reuse of PA is expected to be feasible since PA cement mortar has reasonable engineering performance compared with normal cement mortar.

As the demand for the recycling of industrial by-products increases due to various environmental restrictions including the prohibition of ocean disposal, various studies regarding the recycling of industrial by-products are currently being carried out. One of the industrial by-product, coal ash is produced from thermal power generation; studies on the recycling of fly ash have been actively carried out and it is currently recycled in various fields. In the case of bottom ash, however, only a portion of the total amount generated is primarily processed into a particle size of 2~4mm or less than 2mm to be used for gardening purpose and light weight aggregate and so on. The remaining amount is buried at ash disposal sites. Therefore, various studies are needed to develop measures to use bottom ash. This study aimed at identifying the optimal particle size and mixing ratio of bottom ash to be used as CLSM aggregate. To this end, it evaluated the usability of bottom ash as CLSM aggregate, by investigating the flowability and strength change characteristics of CLSM produced with regard to the mixing ratio of weathered granite soil and bottom ash, particle size of bottom ash to be mixed and soil binder addition rate and conducting a heavy metal leaching test.

The study is carried out to survey the proper management and to propose an eco - friendly separation system through efficient screening and resource recovery of excavated materials containing waste from various excavating fields such as reconstruction of landfill sites for reuse, reclamation of unsanitary landfill and residential land development of waste dumping sites. The current status and screening process and analytical characteristics of the excavated materials containing waste were reviewed. Through the analysis of the samples such as separated combustibles, recyclable soils and residues collected from the on-site visits we were able to understand the characteristics of separated materials and excavated materials containing waste such as calorific value, elementary composition, TOC, foreign material content and LOI. It has been found that elimination of the moisture of excavations, removal of attached soil from the surfaces of the excavated combustibles and the quantitative supply method of the input devices are the main operating factors as essential factors for the optimal separation of excavated materials containing waste. For efficient management and recycling of excavated materials containing, it is necessary to set criteria of ash content in separated combustibles and criteria organic matter content in separated soils.

As the installation of solar panel accelerates, so does the number of solar panels reaching their end-of-life (EOL). However, the EOL solar panels is becoming a concern, as they contain potentially hazardous materials and are not easily recycled. Coping strategies such as effective collection, disposal, and recycling methods will be important to manage the growing number of EOL solar panels in the coming years.Therefore, many studies have focused on the development of EOL solar panel recycling technology. One recycling technology for EOL solar panels applicable to the construction field is the application of extracted tempered glass from EOL solar panels as construction materials. This study summarized the EOL solar panel disassembly technology and evaluated the mechanical properties of mortar using extracted tempered glass as fine aggregate. The results showed that when tempered glass was used as a fine aggregate in mortar, the compressive strength, flexural strength, and macro pores in the 1-3 ㎛ with 200-300 ㎛ range were affected, regardless of the disassembly technology of EOL solar panels. Especially, we found that the mechanical performance of mortar using chemically treated tempered glass was noticeably decreased due to changes in the chemical composition of the extracted tempered glass resulting from the removal of K₂O and CuO due to chemical reactions. Meanwhile, it was found that when fly ash was used as a binder, the reduction of mechanical performance could be alleviated.

There are many possibilities that recycled papers adulterate contaminants during the process. The objective of this research was to evaluate safety of paper-based packaging materials for food, especially commercial pizza boxes in Korea. Ultimately, we compared recycled and non-recycled commercial paper packaging materials. This study was based on Korean Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) regulation. PCBs were measured by GC-ECD. Arsenic and lead were analyzed using an ICP-MS. Formaldehyde was determined by LC-MS. Fluorescent materials were detected by UV lamp. The result of this study shows that non-recycled paper packaging materials meets all the tested hygienic specifications for food packaging materials, whereas recycled paper-based paperboard box may be contaminated by fluorescent whitening agent. Though these results need to be further studied, it is recommended to avoid using recycled paper in direct contact with food when used in food packaging.

As an increase in the amount of RAP, there are growing interests in recycling asphalt concrete. In case of using the RAP as recycled asphalt pavement, it tends to be quality deteriorate. Therefore, the amount of RAP using is advised to be limited or has to be used with rejuvenator. In this study, asphalt mixture containing WMRA was analyzed to be used up to 50% for the sake of convenience on the process. As the results of evaluation, there was no significant difference in case of using 30% of RAP in the test of Marshall stability. However, in case of WMRA using up to 50%, it was satisfied criteria by flow value at 34.7. Further, result of toughness test was found that the crack resistance showed 55% higher than using straight asphalt when using WMRA binder up to 50%. According to the results of directly comparing crack resistance through repeated direct tensile test, it was shown that the fatigue crack resistance of WMRA pavement was increased by 263%. Therefore, it was shown that WMRA binder was effective in recycling RAP because WMRA binder could increase the percentage of RAP using up to 50%.

현재 우리나라에는 3기의 원전이 운전중에 있으며 6기가 건설중에 있다. 즉, 2기의 가압경수로(PWR)의 1기의 가압중수로(HWR)가 운전중에 있으며 건설중인 것은 모두 PWR이다. 현재 추진되고 있는 원전계획을 수행하면, 1990년에는 사용후핵연료가 년간 약200톤씩 방출될 것이며, 2000년에는 500톤 정도가 방출되게 된다. 이와 같은 핵사용후연료는 현재 소내저장하고 있으나 '90년대 중반 부터는 소내저장용량이 한계에 달하게 될 것으로 전망되고 있다. 따라서 본교에서의 이와 같은 소내저장 한계성에 대처할 수 있는 가능한 방안을 검토하고, 이를 경제성 측면에서 분석하고자 하였다. 사용후핵연료의 관리방안에 대한 경제성 분석을 위해서는 장래의 원전계획, 원자로형 및 핵연료주기방식 등에 대한 여러 가지 가정이 필요하게 된다. 원전계획은 정부에서 발표한 $\ulcorner$5차5개년 수정계획$\lrcorner$에 의거하여 원전시설용량은 현재의 2GWe에서 2000년에는 22GWe로, 2025년에는 44GWe로 늘어나는 것으로 보았다. 이와 같은 원전계획을 바탕으로 6가지 핵연료주기에 관한 시나리오를 설정하였다. 즉, 사용후핵연료를 비순환방식으로 운영하는 2가지 경우, 순환방식으로 운영되는 3가지 경우 그리고 FBR에 활용하는 1가지의 경우에 대하여 검토하였다. 사용후핵연료의 관리방식에 따른 장기적인 안목에서의 경제성 분석은 핵연료주기비용 뿐만아니라 원전의 투자비도 함께 분석하는 것이 합리적이며, 따라서 본교에서는 계획기간 동안의 6가지 시나리로에 따른 원전 및 핵연료주기에 관한 총 투자비를 비교하였고, 1982년 가격으로 현가화한 단가도 비교${\cdot}$검토 하였다. 이와 같은 6가지 시나리오에 대한 경제성을 비교해 본 결과, 핵연료주기선택의 경제성평가에 큰 영향을 주는 핵연료주기요소는 재처리비, 재처리시 방출되는 폐기물의 처리${\cdot}$처분비 그리고 사용후핵연료 저장방식으로 판명되었으며 6가지 시나리오에 대한 경제성 비교평가 결과, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 단기적인 안목에서는 소내저장용량을 확장하는 방안이 가장 바람직하며, 중기적인 관점에서는 소외집중저장설비가 활발히 수행되는 시점에서는 사용후핵연료를 재처리하여 재활용하는 방안도 강구되어야 할 것이다.
