본 연구는 신문지 고지의 점착성 이물질 중 Primary Stickies의 정 량에 관한 것으로 서, 실제 신문지료를 화상분석하여 실시간으로 매크로크기의 점착성 이물질올 측정할 때 효율적인 측정조건을 탐색하여 제지공정의 l 현장에서 일차 점착성 이물질을 정량 하는 새로운 측정기의 측정 기준을 제시하고자 하였다. 이물질이란 제지공정에 의도적으로 첨가되지 않은 불질의 총칭으로 dirt 및 각종 점착 성 이물질 즉, stickies를 들 수 있다. 이 가운데 스틱키{stickies}란 부드럽고, 점착성을 나타내는 이물질의 총청으로 주로 점착제와 확스에 의해 형성된다. 스틱키는 고지 재활 용의 효율성을 가장 크게 저해하는 이물질로 와이어, 펠트 및 기타 공정요소에 부착되 어 초지 시 지절을 발생시킴으로써 생산성을 저하시킬 뿐 아니라, 외관상 상품가치와 인쇄적성올 저하시키며, 최종 제품의 강도적 물성 및 가공적성에도 영향을 미친다. 특 히 국내에서는 원가절감을 위해 고지의 재활용율올 증대시키고자 전력을 다하고 있으 며 환경보호 및 용수 절감올 위해 공정수를 절감하고 궁극적으로는 무방류화를 목표로 하고 있어 토지 계 내의 점착성 이물질의 투입과 농축 현상이 심각하게 진행되고 있는 실정이다. 초지공정에서 발생하는 스틱키 즉 점착성 이물질은 미세한 스크린의 슬롯 폭인 0.15 - -0.3mm 이상의 크기를 가져 스크린에 의해 분리될 수 있는 매크로 스틱키{macro s stickies}와 이보다 작은 마이크로 스틱키(micro stickies)로 크게 분류된다. 즉 매크로 스틱키는 스크린에 의해 분리될 수 있으나 마이크로 스틱키는 스크린을 통하여 기계적 으로 분리할 수 없다는 문제점을 지니고 있다. 스틱키는 또 거동 특성에 따라 primary s stickies와 secondary stickies로 구분할 수 있다. primary stickies는 펄핑과정에서 점착 성 이물질이 파괴됨에 따라 나타나지만, secondary stickies는 지류 제지공정의 백수에 용해 되거나 분산된 상태인 1때1 이하의 콜로이 드로 폰재 한다. 이 러 한 secondary stickies 는 pH, 온도의 변화나 각종의 첨가제에 의해 웅집이나 홉착 등을 발생할 수 있는 잠재 적 문제점 등을 가지고 있다. 예를 들어 양성 고분자의 첨가는 펄프 섬유를 웅집시킬 뿐 아니라 지료에 함유된 secondary dtickies의 안정성을 저하시켜 응집, 침적시키는 작용을 한다. 따라서 분리가 어렵고, 제지공정에서 문제를 일으키기 쉬운 2차 스퇴키를 적절히 제어하기 위한 기술 개발은 용수절감 뿐 아니라, 초지공정의 침적물 절감을 통 한 공정개선에도 매우 중요한 요소기술이라 할 수 있다.

Recycled irrigation water is a primary inoculum source of Phytophthora spp. and is capable of spreading propagules throughout nursery cultivation. Ozonation is commonly used to disinfest the recycled irrigation water; however, ozone has not been fully researched as a disinfectant for this purpose. In this study, zoospores of four species of Phytophthora were exposed for $1{\sim}9$ min to free available ozone at $0.1{\sim}0.3,\;0.5{\sim}0.7,\;0.9{\sim}1.2,\;1.4{\sim}1.7\;and\;1.9{\sim}2.2mg/l$. Zoospores, mycelial fragments, and culture plugs of P. nicotianae also were exposed to ozone concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 2.2 mg/l for periods ranging from 1 to 9 min. In addition, ozonated water was assayed monthly in 2004 and 2005 at two commercial nurseries, and quarterly in the first year at two other nurseries in Suwon, for ozone and survival of pythiaceous species using a selective medium. No zoospores of any species tested survived endpoint free ozone at 1.4 mg/l while limited mycelial fragments of P. nicotianae survived at 1.9 mg/l, and mycelial plugs treated at the same level of ozone were able to produce few sporangia. Phytophthora spp. were recovered only from nursery irrigation water with levels of free ozone at 0.3 mg/l or lower. The results of this study are essential for improving current ozonation sterilization.

This study estimated the amount of carbon stocks in harvested wood products (HWP) using accounting approaches suggested by 2006 IPCC guidelines and analyzed the impacts of different approaches on national greenhouse gas inventory and the forest sector in Korea. The change in carbon stocks was calculated at the level of semi-finished wood products, which cover sawnwood, wood-based panels, other industrial wood, paper and paperboard. An estimation of the changes in carbon stocks in HWP in use for the period 1970~2008 varied between -9,023 Gg $CO_2$/yr and 4,052 Gg $CO_2$/yr depending on the accounting approach used. The stock-change approach provided the most favorable results because Korea was a net importer of wood products. However, each approach generates different impacts on harvest, trade, the use of wood for energy production and recycling. When deciding its position on accounting approach, thus, the Government should consider future direction of national forest policies as well as the effect on national greenhouse gas inventory for the minimization of negative impacts resulting from its selection.

The fiber wall filling(FWF) technology, which is based on Precipitatin of fillers in the micropores of the cell wall structure of never-dried chemical pulp fiber, has been developed to improve filling and loading process in papermaking. In presenting FWF technique here, micropores of pulp fiber are first impregnated with an ionic solution of water soluble salt and consecutively impregnated with the second salt solution. This procedure generates an insoluble precipitate within the micropores of cell wall by chemical interaction of these two ionic salt solutions This is the first attempts to use FWF technology for the quality of waste paper grade which is recycled in papermaking, even though this FWF technology has been impressively improved for never-dried chemical pulp in filling and loading process of papermaking. The precipitated amount of CaCO$_3$ and SrCO$_3$ reached 5-6% and 4-5% of the waste paper weight respectively, which was measured by ash content of the burned waste paper fiber. On the other way the precipitated amounts of those materials impregnated into never-dried chemical pulp fiber have reached 17-18% and 16-18% respectively. The micropore loading technique gives optical and physical properties to the handsheets formed with celt-wall-filled fibers which are better than those handsheet properties resulting from conventional loading. The papers made from the cell-wall-filled pulps are stronger than those with the customary location of filler between the fibers.

The recycling rate of recovered paper in Korea is the highest in the world, 92%, but remanufacturing yield is low due to the extremely poor quality of the paper. The poor quality, in turn, influences to the reject amount in deinking process. To increase the yield of old newspaper recycling process, hydrophobic degree of inorganic pigments of deinking stock must be reduced. To determine the hydrophobicity, Pitch Potential Deposit Tester (PDT) was newly designed and applied with respect to the SB latex property of various quality used in Korea; its hydrophobic degree according to Tg, gel content, charge and particle size of latex and optimum designing condition of SB latex. And below are the conclusions: 1. The reason of excessive reject from old newspaper deinking process for total amount of printed ink is loss of inorganic pigments. When lipase, a biochemical catalyst, was applied with the purpose of preventing inorganic pigments loss about more than 70% of total reject weight and promoting hydration of pulp for deinking, deinking process yield of pre flotation secondary stage increased remarkably without any changes of deinking efficiency. 2. Lipase improved deinking stock by cutting ester linkage on surface of hydrophobic materials to promote its hydration. From this, it reached the conclusion that hydration degree of stock exercises significant effect on flotation deinking process yield. 3. Inorganic alkali promotes hydration of deinking stock. But there have been needs for more fundamental measures other than inorganic alkali of promoting hydration for yield improvement. For this, this study intended to find out reasons of chemical properties change on surface of hydrophobic material by change of pH. 4. Pitch Deposit Test (PDT) was performed for understanding principle of why surface of coating flake from OMG is hydrophobic and why it becomes hydrophilic when pH of stock is alkaline. As a result of this test, it is determined that swelling property by change of pH of latex film, which were used as coating adhesive is the reason for hydrophobic change. 5. Hydrophilicity of coating flake increased with hydrophilic pigments. And as more of SB Latex adhesive was used and higher of calcium hardness of stock became, its hydrophilicity decreased. SB Latex adhesive film is reformed by mechanical friction. For having hydrophilicity under neutral pH, strong bruising action such as kneading is required. 6. Because swelling of adhesive film decreases as Tg of SB latex gets lower and mean diameter gets smaller, it shows hydrophobicity under neutral pH. This lowers hydrophilicity of coating flake, which leads to easy elimination with flotation reject on DIP process. Therefore, for improving future flotation yield, it is necessary to develop to use eco-friendly clean SB latex by raising Tg and increasing mean diameter for recycling, and as a result, to reduce excessive loss of coating flake as a reject from deinking process.

Soot and tar which were derived from combustion or pyrolysis processes in Puverized Coal(PC) furnace or boiler have been significantly dealing in a radiative heat transfer and an additional source of NOx. Furthermore, the increasing for the use of a coal with low caloric value gives rise to a lot of tar-soot yield and LOI in a recycled ash for using cement materials. So, the ash with higher tar-soot yield and LOI can not recycle due to decreased strength of concrete. In this study, tar-soot yields and flame structures were investigated using the LFR for a blending combustion with bituminous coal and sub-bituminous coal. Also, The investigation were conducted as each single coals and blending ratio. The coals are used in a doestic power plant. In the experimental results, sub-bituminous coal with high volatile contents shows longer soot cloud length than bituminous coal, but overall flame length was shorter than bituminous coal. Tar-soot yields of sub-bituminous coal is lower than those of bituminous coal. Combustion characteristics are different between single coal and blended coal. Therefore, finding an optimal coal blending ratio according to coal rank effects on tar-soot yields.

After adding eight different kinds of PAHs to soybean oil and perilla oil samples, changes of PAHs contents after activated carbon treatment with different conditions of activated carbon concentration, temperature, and time were investigated. PAHs contents decreased in both soybean oil and perilla oil with increasing activated carbon concentrations. Neither of the PAHs were detected in the soybean oil samples after the addition of only 0.05% of activated carbon, while the contents of most kinds of PAHs decreased below the limit of quantification in the perilla oil samples after the addition of up to 0.4% of activated carbon. PAHs contents decreased as the temperature of the activated carbon treatment increased, and most PAHs were not detected in the soybean oil samples at temperatures above $80^{\circ}C$. With regards to the activated carbon treatment time, the PAHs contents also decreased as the treatment time increased. In case of soybean oil, four kinds of PAHs were not detected after treatment with 0.05% of activated carbon at $70^{\circ}C$ for 10 min.

Coal ash can be added to agricultural soils to increase the chemical properties of soil such as pH, cation exchange capacity and nutrient availability of - B, Ca, Mo etc-. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of fly ash as a soil amendment in paddy soils. Selected fly ash was mixed with bentonite and calcium hydroxide at the ratio of 80:15:5 (w/w) and manufactured as a pellet type at the size of 10 mm. Field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of fly ash fertilizer on the soil quality and crop growth compare to the control (no fertilizer) and, - traditional fertilizer. Results showed that soil pH and organic matter in paddy soils after applying the manufactured fly ash fertilizer were not increased compared to the other two treatments. However, the concentration of available phosphate and silicate in paddy soils were higher than those of the control and traditional fertilization. With regard to crop growth, no significant difference was observed between three different treatments. However, the content of protein in the rice grain cultivated with the fly ash fertilizer was higher than in the rice cultivated by other two treatments. Overall, fly ash fertilizer could increase the concentration of available silicate and phosphate in the paddy soil and improve the rice quality. In conclusion, fly ash can be utilized in agricultural soils as soil amendment, especially in the rice paddy soil.

This research was performed to evaluate the recycling feasibility as a construction material of dredged harbor soil mixed with clay and glass frit. Concentration of heavy metals of the dredged soil from D harbor was severly high, showing Zn of 526.0~13,150.1 mg/kg. The dredged soil was maily composed of 48.30 wt% $SiO_2$, 16.60 wt% $Al_2O_3$, 10.10 wt% CaO, 7.75 wt% $Fe_2O_3$. The clay and the glass frit contained 70.82 wt% $SiO_2$ and $Al_2O_3$ 18.78 wt%, and 71.75 wt% $SiO_2$, 13.99 wt% CaO, 8.51 wt% $Na_2O$, respectively. After adding 10~40 wt% to the clay and sintering them at $1,000^{\circ}C$ or $1,100^{\circ}C$, the compressive strength of the sintered specimens showed $132.6{\sim}178.5kgf/cm^2$ or $581.2{\sim}793.7kgf/cm^2$, respectively. In case of SC46 with the addition 40 wt% of the dredged soil to the clay, the compressive strength ($793.7kgf/cm^2$) of specimen sintered at $1,100^{\circ}C$ was over 5 times higher than that at $1,000^{\circ}C$. The specimen mixed with 40 wt% of dredged soil, 60 wt% of clay and 1 wt% of glass frit satisfied the 1st grade standard for clay brick by KS L 4201. The results of all specimens by Korean Standard Leaching Test also satisfied the standard criteria.

Different toxic wastes are disposed of in our surroundings and these will ultimately threaten the existence of living organisms. Biohydrometallurgy, which includes the processes of bioleaching and bioremediation through the activities of microorganisms such as bacterial or fungal species, is a technology that has the potential to overcome many environmental problems at a reasonable economic cost. Bioleaching were carried out for dissolution of metals from different materials using most important metal mobilizing bacteria such as Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, Thiobacillus thiooxidans and Laptospirillum ferrooxidans. According to the reaction, bioleaching is parted as direct and indirect mechanism. In direct mechanism the bacteria oxidize the sulphides minerals by accepting electron and producing sulphuric acid in leaching media for their growth and metabolism. In other hand the indirect bioleaching is demonstrated as the oxidation of sulphides mineral by the oxidant like $Fe^{3+}$ produced by the iron oxidizing bacteria. Through this process, substantial amount of metal can be recovered from low-grade ores, concentrates, industrial wastes like sludge, tailings, fly ash, slag, electronic scrap, spent batteries and spent catalysts. This may be alternative technology to solve the high deposition of waste, which moves toward a healthy environment and green world.
