Slags generated in the smelting reduction of deep sea manganese nodule could be utilized as an additional materials for making Fe-Si-Mn alloys by mixing with cokes and re-smelting at an arc furnace. In this re-melting process slag is also generated, and the secondary slag is treated as waste. In this survey, recycling of the waste slag of Mn nodule was studied. It is tried to utilize the waste slag as ceramic materials or construction materials. However, it is difficult to use the waste slag directly as an additional material to ceramics such as portland cement or castable refractory material due to the much difference of chemical compositions. As an altercation road constructing material is considered, and toxicity on the soil of the waste slag was tested according to Korean Standard for testing permissible amount of toxic substances. The test result was satisfied with the requirements on the standard. So, it should be suggested that the waste slag of the Mn nodule could be utilized as constructing materials such as road filler or base materials.

산업활동으로 인해 발생하는 슬래그 등의 폐기물을 적절히 처리하는 방법으로서는 저비용 처리형태와 자연계에서 슬래그 등의 특성을 고려한 Filter 기능을 수행할 수 있도록 수질이 악화된 하천이나 정체수역에 투입시켜 수질을 개선시킬 수 있는 방법의 도입이 필요하다. 현재 POSCO에서 발생하는 슬래그와 폐콘크리트의 화학적 성분은 주로 $CaO,\;SiO_2,\;Al_2O_3,\;Fe_2O_3$ 등으로 이루어져 있으며, 침전유발물질 및 흡착성물질이 공존하고 있다. 다공질 형태의 비표면적을 가지고 있어서 정화용 필터로 이용하기에 좋은 이점을 가지고 있다. 슬래그나 폐콘크리트를 Mattress/Filter 채움재 및 수질정화용 여재로 활용하면 폐기물처리, 자원 재활용 그리고 수질 환경 개선의 세 가지 효과를 동시에 얻을 수 있는 방법이 된다. 본 연구에서는 슬래그와 폐콘크리트를 활용한 정체수역에서 정화시스템의 정화특성을 조사하기 위하여 유입수와 유출수의 pH, 용존산소, 질소, 인 등을 측정하여 비교하였다. 수질개선을 위한 Mattress/Filter 시스템의 기본개념은 하천의 오염된 물이 Mattress/Filter의 공극사이를 통과하면서 채움재에 형성된 생물막이 수질 개선과정에서 나타나는 접촉작용, 생물 흡착작용, 생물산화의 분해작용 등을 촉진시키도록 하였다. Mattress/Filter를 이용한 수중 수질개선시스템에서 채움재로 제철폐기물인 슬래그와 건설폐기물인 폐콘크리트를 사용함으로써 Mattress/Filter의 다공성 및 넓은 표면적이라는 특성에 따른 물리적$\cdot$화학적$\cdot$생물학적 작용이 촉진되고 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 그 결과 정체수역에 설치한 Mattress/Filter는 다공질 속에서 쉽게 생물막을 형성시키고 유기물의 흡착을 촉진시켜 오염물질을 정화하는데 필요한 자정작용의 효과 증대와 수질개선을 촉진시킬 수 있는 자연생태적 하천정화시스템임을 확인할 수 있었다.

In EAF steelmaking industries, MgO content in slag increases due to the addition of dolomite flux to protect refractory lines of furnaces and improve the desulfurization capability of slag. In addition, coal powder is injected in the molten steel bath to increase the energy efficiency of the process. In this regard, the utilization of waste MgO-C refractory material as a flux was examined because it has high amounts of MgO (>70%) and graphite carbon (>10%). A series of experiments were carried out using industrial EAF slag with added light burnt dolomite and waste MgO refractory material from a Korean steel company. The results for the addition of the two fluxes were similar in terms of slag basicity; therefore, it is expected that waste MgO-C refractory material can successfully replace dolomite flux. In addition, when the waste MgO-C refractory material was added as flux, slag foaming phenomenon was demonstrated because of the reaction between the graphite from the refractory material and iron oxides in the slag.

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.

Natural stone causes environmental pollution when it is collected and processed. Also, it is hard to make consistent products. Therefore, this study focuses on the artificial stone with waste porcelain to replace natural stone. The flexural strength and compressive strength are lower according to the replacement ratio of blast furnace slag in the result of experiment.

This study was conducted to evaluate the manufacturing process of non-sintered cement for the safe containment of radioactive waste using low level or ultra-low level radioactive waste soil generated from nuclear-decommissioning facilities, clay minerals, and blast furnace slag (BFS) as an industrial by-product recycling and to characterize the products using mineralogical and morphological analyses. A stepwise approach was used: (1) measuring properties of source materials (reactants), such as waste soil, clay minerals, and BFS, (2) manufacturing the non-sintered cement for the containment of radioactive waste using source materials and deducing the optimal mixing ratio of solidifying and adjusting agents, and (3) conducting mineralogical and morphological analyses of products from the hydration reactions of manufactured non-sintered cement solidifier (NSCS) containing waste concrete generated from nuclear-decommissioning facilities. The analytical results of NSCS using waste soil and clay minerals confirmed none of the hydration products, but calcium silicate (CSH) and ettringite were examined as hydration products in the case of using BFS. The compressive strength of NSCS manufactured with the optimum mixing ratio and using waste soil and clay minerals was 3 MPa after the 28-day curing period, and it was not satisfied with the acceptance criteria (3.44 MPa) for being brought in disposal sites. However, the compressive strength of NSCS using BFS was estimated to be satisfied with the acceptance criteria, despite manufacturing conditions, and it was maximized to 27 MPa at the optimal mixing ratio. The results indicate that the most relevant NSCS for the safe containment of radioactive waste can be manufactured using BFS as solidifying agent and using waste soil and clay minerals as adsorbents for radioactive nuclides.

In this study aluminium sulfate, Ca(OH)$_2$, K-R Slag and $Na_2SO_4$ were used as active admixtures and their concentration 1, 3, 5, 7 weight percent in cement. The physical properties of active admixtures cement mortar were investigated by flow test and compressive strength. It was found that the resulting active admixtures exhibited the higher compressive strength than OPC mortar up. From the test results, cement mortars added active admixture have a good fundamental property.

The artificial aggregate composing of coal bottom ash and waste catalyst slag (7 : 3, wt%) were fabricated using direct sintering method and, the bloating properties of aggregates were investigated as a function of raw material particle size and sintering temperature. Most of the artificial aggregates sintered at over $1150^{\circ}C$ showed the bloating phenomenon regardless of particle size of the raw materials. Consequently, the specific gravity of the aggregates was drastically decreased to below 1.4. The aggregates containing waste catalyst slag of $90{\mu}m$ under among the W-series specimens, however, did not show the noticeable bloating phenomenon. For the aggregates sintered at lower temperature as $1050{\sim}1150^{\circ}C$, the specific gravity increased with particle size of raw materials. Also, the water absorption of all aggregates decreased with the sintering temperature. The aggregates fabricated in this study met the lightweight aggregate standard showing the specific gravity 1.7~1.4 and water absorption 8~19 % and, therefore, can be applicable for the various fields.
