In 2018, the demand for silver (referred to as Ag) in the electrical and electronics sector was 249 million tons. The demand stood at 81 million tons in the solar module production sector. Currently, due to the rapid increase in solar module installation, the demand for silver is increasing drastically in Korea. However, Korea's natural metal resources and reserves are insufficient in comparison to their consumption, and the domestic silver ore self-sufficiency rate was as low as 2.2% as of 2021. This implies that a recycling technology is necessary to recover valuable metal resources contained in the waste plating solution generated in the metal industry. Therefore, this study compared and analyzed, the results of the impact evaluation through life cycle assessment according to an improvement in the process of recovery of valuable metals in the waste plating solution. The process improvement resulted in reducing GWP (Global Warming Potential) and ADP(Abiotic Depletion Potential) by 50% and 67%, respectively. The GWP of electricity and industrial water was reduced by 98% and 93%, respectively, which significantly contributed to the minimization of energy and water consumption. Thus, the improvement in recycling technology has a high potential to reduce chemical and energy use and improve resource productivity in the urban mining industry.

In this study, Life Cycle Assessment(LCA) was applied to the production processes of waste cooking oil recycling products. Recycling products as defined in the Law of Saving of Resources and Recycling Promotion are biodiesel and soap. Weighting result of biodiesel production process showed that the most significant impact potential was abiotic resource depletion(84.17%) followed by global warming(13.93%). In the case of the soap, the most significant impact potential was also abiotic resource depletion(58.59%) followed by global warming(33.71%). In terms of the whole system of the biodiesel production process, methanol showed the largest environmental impact potential(87.35%). While in the case of the soap, sodium chloride showed the largest environmental impact potential(99.99%). This study suggests that there should be improvement of the methanol recovery system in the biodiesel production process and also appropriate use of the major environmental impact materials in both processes.

현재 IT 환경은 빠른 서비스의 생성과 컴포넌트의 재활용성을 통하여 새로운 비즈니스 환경 변화에 가장 빠르게 대응하는 것이 중요하다. 따라서 기존 Legacy 시스템의 한계를 극복한 SOA(Service Oriented Architecture)가 각광받고 있다. 하지만 SOA와 같은 Web 기반 시스템의 경우 Legacy 시스템 측정에 알맞게 구축된 비용산정에 어려움을 겪고 있으며, 잘못된 비용 산정의 결과로 인하여 다수의 프로젝트가 실패하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 현재 국내 소프트웨어 개발 규모 산정을 위한 국제 표준인 FP(Function Point)를 통한 규모 산정 방식을 제안한다. 본 논문은 기존 FP방식이 사용자 중심의 기능 단위로 산정을 함에 따라 발생하는 문제점을 제시하고, 기존 산정 방식의 문제점을 개선한 연계 기능을 포함한 FP 산출 방법의 제안을 통하여 기존 FP에서 측정할 수 없었던 SOA 도메인의 특징을 반영한 FP의 산출이 가능하다. 이를 통하여 SOA 기반 시스템의 정확한 예산 측정이 가능하며, 프로젝트의 실패를 감소할 수 있다.

Melting is one of the most effective treatments for stabilizing heavy metals and also creates high value by-products. In this study, authors evaluated the leaching characteristics of heavy metals in melting slag obtained from incinerator ashes. In order to evaluate the environmental compatibility of the recycled melting slag, the samples analysed various leaching tests of heavy metals were raw incinerator ashes, melting slag and the construction materials recycled from melting slag. As the results: (1) The leaching concentrations of tile melting slag were lower than those of the raw incinerator ashes in the experiment performed in accordance with Korea Standard Leaching Test (KSLT). (2) The result of leaching test with the method of RG Min-StB 93. FGSV Forschungsgesellschaft fur Stra $\beta$ en- und Verkehrswesen) met the requirements in German. (3) The compressive strengths of mortar samples used for evaluating the feasibility of recycling the melting slag as construction materials also showed the suitable range for recycling (4) Melting slag was considered the stable materials with respect to the chemical stability against chemical solutions with various pH conditions.

For the development of higher-sizing performance of paper, a sizing agent using recycled PET was synthesised. Polyester resin was extracted from wasted PET by subcritical hydrolysis and finally modified to synthetic sizing agent by mixing water-disperse PET with triphenyl phosphite(TPP). The modified PET was considered as an internal sizing agent in different wet-end papermaking conditions. The optimum condition in sizing efficiency was obtained in initial pH of 6.5 in case of rosin+alum system, and 7.5 in case of rosin+alum+PET system, respectively, and in addition amount of PET 3%. The sizing efficiency was also closely related according to the fiber properties of wet-end slurry, such as virgin fibres from UKP and recycled fibres from KOCC. The application of modified PET was good in strength improvement of paper, specially in tensile strength.

본 연구에서는 가교화 ${\beta}-CD$로 크림치즈의 콜레스테롤을 효과적으로 제거하는 실험을 수행 하였으며, 크림치즈의 이화학적 변화와 관능적 특성을 살펴보았다. 크림치즈를 만들기 위한 유지방 함량 36%의 크림을 가교화 ${\beta}-CD$로 처리 시 콜레스테롤 제거 최적 조건은 가교화 ${\beta}-CD$ 10%를 첨가해 교반온도 $20^{\circ}C$, 교반시간 30분, 교반속도 800rpm으로 실험한 결과 콜레스테롤 제거율이 평균 82.0%로 나타났다. 가교화 ${\beta}-CD$처리 크림치즈는 short-chain fatty acid의 경우 저장 기간이 지남에 따라 control과 powder ${\beta}-CD$ 처리한 크림치즈에 비해 저급 지방산 생성에 변화가 거의 없고, 쓴맛을 내는 아미노산의 경우 저장 기간 동안 control과 powder ${\beta}-CD$처리 크림치즈에 비해 생산량이 현저하게 적었다. 또한 가교화 ${\beta}-CD$처리 크림치즈의 조직검사에서 다른 항목에서보다 저장 기간 동안 응집성이 변함이 없으며 그 수치가 높게 평가되었다. 관능검사 결과, 가교화 ${\beta}-CD$처리 크림치즈는 저장 기간 동안 쓴맛의 증가가 거의 없었고 전체적인 기호도 또한 높았다. 위 실험 결과에 따르면, 가교화 ${\beta}-CD$ 사용결과 cholesterol 제거율이 높으며, 제품에 적용시 재활용이 가능하고 품질이 향상되므로 이를 유가공 산업에 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to estimate the optimum content of an inorganic additive for cold-recycled asphalt mixtures and evaluate its performance. METHODS : An indirect tensile test, a tensile-strength ratio test, and an indirect tensile-fatigue test were conducted on cold-recycling asphalt mixtures with various additives. RESULTS : The laboratory performance tests indicated that granulated blast-furnace slag mixed with inorganic and cement activators provided optimum performance. The performance results of the cold-recycled asphalt pavement were similar to the inorganic and cement activators' performance in terms of the indirect tensile strength, tensile strength ratio, and indirect tensile-fatigue test. CONCLUSIONS : Overall, the performance of a cold-recycled asphalt mixture using inorganic additives and emulsion asphalt was comparable to a warm-recycled asphalt mixture. However, more experiments aimed at improving its performance and studying the effect of the inorganic additives must be conducted.

To decrease the usage of cement, the pozzolan reaction materials are used as a mineral admixture. Hwang Toh which is broadly deposited in Korea is well known as a environment friendly material and the activated Hwang Toh which has the property of pozzolan reaction is practically used as a mineral admixture of concrete. PET fiber which is made by recycled PET bottle controls micro crack in concrete. But the study about concrete mixed with reinforcing fiber is not enough and the property of Hwang Toh concrete mixed with PET fiber is more complicated case. So this study performed drying shrinkage experiment to analyse mechanical property of Hwang Toh concrete mixed with PET fiber.

Recently, detections of huge amount of wastes in the unsanitary landfills at a residential development sites were reported. Because the sites were the residential development sites, all landfilled wastes should be removed for the constructions. Therefore the way that the unsanitary landfills were excavated and then the wastes were sorted into three categories such as soils, noncombustibles, and combustibles was selected as the best method. Soils and noncombustibles could be recycled in the sites and combustibles could be compacted and be relandfilled in a smaller area.
