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.

The compounds of recycled polyethylene(PE) and fly-ashes were prepared. Polymers used were sorted PE from mixed plastics of household waste and Low Density Polyethylene(LDPE) and Linear Low Density Polyethylene(LLDPE) recycled from the scrap of packaging film plants. Fly-ashes were from the power plant and from the household waste incinerator. The tensile strength of recycled LDPE and LLDPE compounds decreased and the flexural modulus increased with greater amount of the power plant fly-ash. Anthracite fly-ash gave rise to slightly higher tensile and flexural strength of the LLDPE mixtures than bituminous coal fly-ash presumably due to higher content of unburned carbon. The incinerator fly-ash introduced to household waste PE enhanced both tensile strength and flexural modulus of the compounds. When LDPE and household waste PE were used together, the synergistic effect of incinerator fly-ash to household waste PE was offset by reduced crystallization of LDPE due to the filler particle. The compounds of household waste PE and incinerator fly-ash might be applied to structural materials for such as sewage pipe, which reduces the waste treatment cost and conserve the environment and resources.

In recent years, in terms of environmental protection and efficient use of the land, efficient utilization of byproducts and wastes generated in industrial areas are emerging. In this study, for the effective utilization of using ever increasing amount of utilizing sewage sludge incineration ash to increase sewage sludge, it is evaluated the use of as an construction material. After making concrete specimens, it is evaluated compressive strength, carbonation and environmental resistance. From the experimental results, compared with concrete without sewage sludge it is obtained satisfactory results for compressive strength and carbonation and results of the leaching test also satisfies the standard value. So, it is sufficient possibility using of concrete aggregate and the replacement rates is judged to be about 10%.

This study was performed to validate reference materials (RMs) for proficiency testing (PT) in waste inter-laboratories. Dioxin RMs were prepared from fly ash in industrial incinerators. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of analytical results were 2.6~15.7% for the dioxin RMs in 10 replicates (between and withinbottles). Data were collected and statistical analysis was performed by the One-way ANOVA test. The combined uncertainties of target isomers in dioxin analysis were 0.114~7.091.

This study is a fundamental research to test the applicability of powdered MSWI(Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator) ash melted slag as a seed Crystal for crystallization reaction. Powdered ash melted slag was melted at $1100^{\circ}C$ and ground to lesser than 0.35mm. According to the result of the tests, calcium, enough for crystallization reaction, was eluted from powdered ash melted slag. Moreover, sample(Phosphorus concentration is under 10 mg/L), more than 90% of Phosphorus can be removed. So we rectify the Phosphorus concentration to 100 mg/L. Alkalinity, being well known that it interferes crystallization reaction, effect was studied for synthetic solution(100 mg/L initial Phosphorus concentration, 50 mg/L calcium, pH 8, 1% powdered ash melted slag dosage). For this result, we know that Phosphorus removal is hindered by alkalinity. In addition, the effect of reaction temperature was performed at the same method. The reaction velocity was increased through raising the reaction temperature.

폐기물 매립지의 조기 안전화를 위해 여러 가지 Chemical Oxidation법이 개발되어 왔지만, 이 방법을 폐기물 매립지에 적용하고 난 후에 생성될 수 있는 부산물들이 주변 환경에 영향을 줄 가능성이 있다. 그래서, 이 방법을 실제 매립지에 적용하기 전에, 일본 키타큐슈에 있는 소각재가 묻혀 있는 모형 매립지에 다섯 가지 조건 -A, 콤포스트 추가; B, 과산화수소수 살수; 과산화수소수+공기주입; D, 공기주입; E, control- 을 적용하여 그 효능을 테스트하였고, 이 매립지에서 이 방법들의 적용 후에 생성되는 침출수의 급성 독성을 세 가지 microbiotests를 이용하여 monitoring하였다. 테스트 기간 중, 침출수의 수질은 개선되었고, 그 급성 독성은 점차적으로 감소하였다. 과산화수소수와 공기의 조합을 적용한 후 생성된 침출수의 급성 독성이 가장 빨리 감소하여 폐기물 매립지의 조기 안정화에 도움을 주었다. 이러한 독성 시험 결과는 몇 가지 화학적 parameters와 상관성이 있었고 여기에 사용된 급성 독성 테스트법은, 매립지 안정화를 위한 Chemical Oxidation법의 적용 후, 침출수 수질을 monitoring하는데 적절하였다. 그러므로 폐기물 매립지의 조기 폐지 기준에 독성 시험의 포함을 고려해 볼 필요가 있다고 생각한다.

This study was performed to develop an analytical method in specified wastes for preventing the environmental pollution from hazardous wastes. Few analytical methods were developed using the waste standard reference materials of sludge, waste oil, bottom ash, etc. which contain As, CN, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, and Hg compounds. The pre-treatment method was considered by whether or not the synchronous analysis is possible. Waste samples obtained from the 34 representative facilities, which are emitting the hazardous substances, were analyzed.

유리고화체의 내구성과 조성에 관한 이 연구의 목적은 구조적 모델, 비가교 산소 모델(NBO) 및 간단한 경험적 모델(Valence-oxygen)과 함에 침출실험결과들을 비교하는 것이다. 조성에 기초한 모델들 사이의 연관성들은 이와 같은 모델들이 지질학적 유리와 제조된 유리의 관련성에 대해 유리고화체의 내구성을 설명할 수 있다는 것을 나타낸다 이러한 관계는 유리고화체의 장기간 내구성을 결정하는데 도움을 줄 수 있으며, 모델을 통한 유리고화체의 조성에 의한 실험결과에의 영향성을 검토하였다 9$0^{\circ}C$에서 7일간 수행된 PCT 침출시험을 대상으로 모델들을 비교하였으며 Ash Loading wt%가 증가할수록 망목형성이온이 증가하기 때문에 침출농도 및 침출분율이 감소하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었으며, VO model의 변수 값이 증가할수록 주요 유리매질의 침출분율은 완만한 기울기를 가지며 감소하다. 금속류의 침출분율은 VO model의 변수 값이 감소함에 따라 대체적으로 증가함을 확인 할 수 있었다.

This study evaluated the direct and indirect environmental impacts of various unit operations of a industrial waste incineration plant by using the life cycle assessment tool and reviewed the improvement plan. During the incineration process, the direct environmental impact was decreased with decrease in emission of various air pollutants by incorporating an air pollution prevention facilities. However, an increase in indirect environmental impacts was observed as a consequence of resources and energy of consumption at the various operational facilities. Consequently, quantitative direct and indirect impact were 89.1%, 10.9%, respectively. The environmental impact analysis of system revealed the highest impact of incineration followed by the impacts of other unit processes such as semidry reactor, and bag-filter. The various air pollutants and ashes generated during the incineration process caused the most significant environmental impact. Among the various categories of environmental impact, global warming accounted the highest impact(more than 85%) followed by eutrophication, and abiotic depletion. As a result of the avoided impact by the utilization of heat generated during the waste incineration process, using an incineration heat for steam and electricity obtained the impact reduction of 45.5%, 19.8%. So, during siting of new incineration plant, the utilization of steam generated from the waste combustion is highly considered to reduce the environmental impact.

This is a research on hazardous characteristics and potentials of bottom ash from 9 municipal solid waste combustors(200 tons/day) of Korea by the test methods of leaching and content. The leaching method was performed by Waste Test Method of Korea. In case of the content method, mercury was determined by thermal decomposition amalgamation atomic absorption spectrometer, other 9 elemets including Pb, which were pretreated by U.S.EPA SW-846 3050B method, were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometer(FAAS) or inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer(ICP-AES). Results of leaching test showed that Pb and Cu was main pollutants. It was interested that the distribution rate of metals' contents of each combustors was similar and the rank of concentration was Fe>Zn>Cu>Mn>Pb>Cr>As>Cd>Hg.
