A life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology was employed to evaluate environmental impact of recycled polyol from polyurethane in an R&D stage and to suggest future direction for improvement of environmental performance of the recycling technology. The comparison result shows between recycled polyol in the developing stage and in the anticipated mass production with virgin polyol production that environmental impact of recycled polyol of the developing stage and the anticipated mass production level correspond to 93%, 60% of that of virgin polyol, respectively. The LCA result identifies improvement areas of reducing environmental impact in recycling polyols, that is, use of alkylene oxide and steam. In the future research, this must be taken into consideration for better performance of recycling technology.

The objective of this research is to evaluate engineering properties of recycled aggregates, slag as coarse & fine aggregate and waste foundry sand(WFS) as fine aggregate, in hot mix asphalt(HMA). In this research, soundness, gradation and particle analysis, abrasion, specific gravity and absorption test were carried out. The optimum asphalt binder content(OAC) for various HMA combinations of recycled aggregate was determined by Marshall Mix Design. The ranges determined is between 7.2% and 7.5%. Indirect tensile test, resilient modulus test, creep test were carried out for characterization of rutting behavior of various combination of HMA. Judging from the limited tests, the HMA with recycled aggregates is not as good rutting resistance as the HMA with common aggregates. After finishing the Wheel tracking test, the application or feasibility for the use of recycled aggregate as asphalt paving material will be determined.

최근 환경 문제과 관련하여 건설 분야에서 발생하는 환경적인 부담을 줄이고자 다양한 재활용 소재들에 대한 연구에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 특히 폐기물 중 생활계에서 발생하는 폐플라스틱은 '쓰레기 대란'이라는 사회적 문제로 대두된 사례가 있다. 생활계에서 발생하는 폐비닐은 다양한 조성으로 이루어져 재활용 대상에서 제외되기 때문에 매립 또는 소각되는 플라스틱의 양을 줄이고 재활용율을 늘릴 수 있는 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구는 생활계에서 발생하는 폐비닐을 융용시켜 무기첨가제 등을 한 복합 Alloy를 생산한다. 또한 재생이 가능한 복합 Alloy를 압출 또는 사출 과정을 통해 테트라포드의 형태를 만들 수 있는 Preform으로 가공하는 공정연구 하였으며 이러한 Preform을 해안 및 항만에서 사용되는 콘크리트 피복재에 적용하였을 때 플라스틱 소재와 콘크리트 소재의 비중의 차이로 인해 발생하는 안정성을 정량적으로 평가하는 수리모형 실험를 수행하였다.

Coal ash is generated from coal-fired thermal power plants every year. The remaining quantity of coal ash ends up in the landfills except for the recycled portion, and the existing ash pond capacity is limited almost. Currently, the difficulties are faced in building a new ash treatment plant because of the concerns about the environmental impacts of landfills at individual plant facilities. In terms of minimizing the environmental impact, the recycling and effective uses of coal ash are recognized as urgent issues to be challenged. Accordingly, this study examines the obstacles in expanding the recycling of the coal ash in South Korea and proposes solutions based on the case study analysis. The analysis results are as follows: 1) specific recycling guidelines and standards are required to be established in accordance with the contact medium (soil, ground water, surface water and sea water) and the chemical. 2) by providing the recognition environmentally safe in recycling the coal ash, transparency in establishing the planning stages and active communication with the community through promotion and research are essentially needed. 3) practical support system is required to encourage the power plant companies to use the coal ash as beneficial use.

These days many companies are trying to reduce, recycle and reuse their wastes. Even though many wastes can be recycled, those are incinerated or landfilled. To solve these problems, there are many projects to make efforts to recycle wastes in especially the industrial complexes. But, due to the absence of information about waste recycling, recyclable wastes are still incinerated or landfilled. Based on these research background, this study aims to suggest the evaluation methodology of the $CO_2$ emissions and cost reduced by circulating the industrial waste to resource. We evaluated the environmental and economic effect between companies which emit the plastic waste and organic solvent waste and use them as raw-materials in the off-line recycling information exchange network. The environmental and economic aspects were analyzed comparing waste recycling with waste incineration. By recycling the plastic waste as raw-materials, $CO_2$ emission were reduced 1,070 ton in 2009 and 1,234 ton in 2010 and 657.4 million won in 2009 and 755.0 million won in 2010 were reduced. In recycling the organic solvent waste, 7.3 ton-$CO_2$ in 2010 and 5.6 ton-$CO_2$ in 2011 were reduced and 15.9 million won in 2010 and 12.2 million won in 2011 were reduced.

This study is aimed at compare and evaluate the environmental impact of End-of-Life Vehicle(ELV) on the eco-friendly technology dismantling and recycling system, using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method. In this study, it was analyzed for the environmental impacts of raw materials, disassemble process, recycle parts separation and waste treatment into the process of ELV treatment by greenhouse gas and resource consumption, etc. Through this study, the indoor rail type dismantling technology were recycling rate applied on the alternate system was increased by approximately 8%. As a result, it was 3 to 88% by improving the environmental impact category. In addition, the added benefit of approximately 8 - 62% in pre-market occurred through the recycling rate, improve parts reuse rate of ELV. Through the results of this study, legal compliance, improved reuse and recycling ratio, used parts market reach, enable exports has identified the need for the effort that the dissemination and diffusion of eco-friendly technology.

현재의 세계 제지업계는 고지의 사용량과 용수의 재홀용률을 높이기 위해 노력하고있다. 특히 한국의 고지 재활용률은 세계 최고수준으로 보고된 바 있으며, 이를 사용하는 재생용지 생산업채는 고지의 높은 재활용률에 기인하는 여러 가지문제점에 당면하고 있다. 국산 고지는 반복적인 재활용으로인하여 섬유장이 짧고 매우각질화된 상태이며, 펄프 내 미세분 함량이 50%이상에 달하고 있다. 또한 섬유의 표면이 인쇄잉크, stickies 및 각종 이물질로 오염됨에 따라, 섬유자체가 보유하고 있는 섬유간 결합 능력이 저하된 상태이다. 이는 초지시, 탈수성을 악화시켜 생산성을 저하시키며, 탈수성 악화에 기인하여 충분한 고해 과정을 거치지 못하여 생산된 종이의 물리적 성질에 악영향을 미치고 있다. KOCC를 주원료로 사용하는 다겹 판지의 제조공정 또한 재활용 원료의 열악함에 기인한 초지계 내의 과다한 미세분 축적과 이로 인한 탈수성의 저하 및 건조효율의 저하를 막기 힘들었다. 이러한 탈수성 및 건조속도의 저하로 종이 생산 효율의 개선 및 각 물성의 상승을 기대하기 어려웠으며, 이를 개선하기 위하여 다양한 Polyelectrolyte를 첨가하였으나 현저한 효과를 보기 힘들었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 새로운 목질계 부원료인 Lignocell을 사용하여 초지시 탈수성 향상과 건조 촉진, 생산된 종이의 bulk 향상으로 인한 stiffness 등 물리적 성질의 향상효과를 평가하고자 하였다.

Economic benefits of the dry bottom ash handling system over the wet bottom ash handling system in a new 500MW${\times}$2units pulverized coal thermal power plant in Korea were evaluated. The higher initial capital cost in the dry bottom ash handling system was estimated. However, this higher initial capital costs would be compensated with reductions of the operating cost mainly due to the recycling of bottom ash. Economic analysis showed that the payback period of 4.9 years and the internal rate of return at 21.1% were expected for the additional initial capital cost of the dry bottom ash handling system.
