국내에서 발생되는 도시광산 즉 폐금속 자원으로부터 유가금속을 회수하는 방안에 대한 관심이 최근 급증하고 있어 현실적인 대안으로 주목받고 있다. 국내에서 폐기된 폐전기 전자제품의 통계자료로부터 국내에 축적된 각종 폐전기 전자제품의 규모를 산정하면 약 3.3억대에 9.6조원 규모의 유가금속이 존재하는 것으로 분석되었으며 이에 대한 효율적인 재활용 기술이 활성화 된다면 소재원료의 자급도를 개선하고 안정적으로 확보할 수 있는 기반을 마련할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Producer and distributor of electrical and electronic equipment may directly collect waste electrical and electronic equipment that falls under the class to which the equipment they distributed belongs, or may join KERC(Korea Electronic Recycling Cooperative) and have KERC fulfill the duty to collect on behalf. In this study, the system of calculating the financial contributions is reviewed, and then the defined problems and improvement plan are proposed. First, the standard operation and time should be set for collection and transportation costs, taking into account the operation by collection type. Second, since there is a difference in the screening method of the recycling center, the standard cost for the allocation factor should be set by reflecting the difference in these methods and the characteristics of the product line being processed. Third, it is necessary to secure a budget of sufficient size by determining the median or average value rather than the minimum value in the forecast model for visit collection. This study is suggesting in that it examines the problems of the allotted contributions paid by the mutual aid members to KERC and suggests ways to improve them.

European directive DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC requires the minimum recycling & recovery rate on the waste electrical and electronic equipments (WEEE). But, they do not have guidelines on the calculation methods for recycling and recovery rate. A standard method to calculate recyclability and recoverability rate of products in the designing stage is necessary for the manufacturers so that they can reflect the calculated result to the improvement of product design. In this work, we investigated the existing calculation methods for the recycling and recovery rates of WEEE and the recyclability and recoverability rates of electrical and electronic equipments (EEE). A method for the calculation of recyclability and recoverability rates for the EEE products in the development stage was developed. The newly-developed calculation method was applied to some EEE products and the calculated results were evaluated.

European directive DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC requires minimum recycling & recovery rates on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). We tried to make references for recycling and recovery rates of parts and materials used in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), which could be used to calculate recyclability and recoverability rates of a product in the development phase. First, we investigated recycling processes of WEEE and recycling and recovery characteristics of parts and materials. Based on the investigation results and the european recycling data, we made a data base of parts and materials for calculation of recycling and recovery rates of EEE. The developed DB was improved by reflecting advices of european experts.

Waste refrigerator is the most large amount of item being recycled and the recycling process is the most complicated in WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) because refrigerator is biggest product and consists of various parts and materials such as ferrous, non-ferrous, and plastics. Recently, recycling process of waste refrigerator has been being more complex since large capacity 2 door refrigerators and standing Kimchi refrigerators with various material are distributed on custom market. In addition, recycling of valuable resource from waste refrigerator is mandatory by WEEEs recycling legislation; therefore, high efficiency recycling enough for economic and environment-friendly recovery of valuable resource through present technical situation analysis and comparison of recycling technologies of waste refrigerator with advanced country.

The importance of recycling came to the fore by increasing of waste electrical and electronic equipment(WEEE) generation. Small WEEE recycling in particular represents a big challenge in Korea because it has various items and components. Main materials of small WEEE are typically well known for metals (copper, iron, aluminum, etc.), PCBs and plastics. Not only Korea but also overseas, the laws for small WEEE were in effect in order to recycle effectively, but the technology is not catched up with the regulation which has to recycle an allocated account of WEEE. In addition, recycling technologies and processes for small WEEE are not developed enough to recycling center properly. In that sense, if we develope the recycling process, have not only technology competitiveness but also resource conservation, improving the environment and economic profits. Therefore, through the analysis of economic value of recycled small WEEE, and current technologies both domestically and internationally, we design conceptual recycling process of small WEEE, and consider the way forward.

전자파(Electromagnetic wave)는 인간이 사용하고 있는 모든 전기·전자제품에 의해 발생되는 전기장과 자기장을 의미하며 첨단과학기술의 발전과 함께 전기, 전자, 통신관련 기기의 사용이 급증함에 따라 전자파는 다른 전자기기의 심각한 전파장애와 인체에 유해한 요소로 작용하고 있다. 이러한 피해현상을 EMI(Electro Magnetic Interference)라 하며 소형화, 고집적화, 다기능화를 지향하는 현대 전기, 전자, 통신산업에 있어서 치명적인 장애요소로 대두되고 있다.(중략)

주석은 최근 첨단 전기, 전자 제품의 핵심 소재로써 지속적인 수요 증가가 예상되는 전략 금속이다. 국내의 수요량은 2011년 기준 약 17,000톤 으로 99% 이상 수입에 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 그러나, 국내의 주석 제련 산업은 전무한 상태이며 폐자원에서 재활용하는 회수 기술도 초보 단계이다. 이러한 폐자원 발생량은 12,000톤/year이며, 약 1200억원에 달하는 규모이다. 다양한 폐자원의 선별적 전처리 요소 기술 개발 및 회수 공정 시스템 개발이 절실히 요구된다. 본 연구에서는, 주석 폐자원 중 solder 용융물 및 공정 스크랩 Lead solder, Lead-free solder 등 뿐만 아니라, ITO target 제조 시 발생하는 ITO sludge 등의 고상 폐자원으로부터 페자원의 물성을 파악하여 금속/산화물과의 파/분쇄 및 분급공정을 통하여 고품위의 주석 금속을 회수하였다. 뿐만 아니라, 고순도 주석시 발생하는 양극 슬라임 침출액 등의 액상 폐자원으로부터 희소금속의 추출 및 회수를 위해 습식 전처리 공정을 수행하였다. 침출액은 주석, 구리, 납 등의 유가금속이 이온형태로 존재하고 있으며, Chlorine이 다량 함유되어 있다. 고품위의 주석 산화물을 회수하기 위하여 침출액 내의 구리 제거 공정, Chlorine 제거 공정 등을 순차적으로 수행하여 고품위의 산화물 회수를 수행하였다.

The various environmental regulation directives such as RoHS (restriction of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products) and WEEE (waste from electrical and electronic equipments) are practically used as the technical barrier in international trade (TBT) of vehicles and electrical and electronic products recently. Regarding such an environmental regulation, Korea Research Institute of Standards Science (KRISS) organized a proficiency testing scheme to establish the reliability of measurement results produced by the relevant research institutes and test laboratories in Korea. Participants were 31 laboratories related to production of the electrical and electronic equipments and mobile vehicles. Two polypropylene samples of pellet type were employed as the proficiency testing materials (PTMs). Cadmium and lead were the analytes chosen among six components regulated in European Union (EU) RoHS directive. The PTMs were sent to the participants by post on September $1^{st}$ 2006, and deadline for results submission were October $10^{th}$ 2006. The results of each laboratory were evaluated in comparison with KRISS reference values using Robustic Z-score and Youden plot methods. The results of the various sample digestion methods were also compared. Most of participants reported good agreement within 10 % range of reference values. However, results from several laboratories showed significant biases from reference values. These laboratories should establish the quality assurance system for improvement of the measurement reliability.

히트파이프에 관한 연구는 구미, 일본 등 선진 각국뿐만 아니라, 중국, 독립국가연합 및 동구권 에서도 다년간 활발하게 진행되어 왔다. 석유파동 이후 에너지 절약을 위한 노력의 결과로 폐 열회수 장치가 많이 개발되면서 히트파이프를 전열소자로 사용한 폐열회수 장치가 상당히 늘어나 이에 소요되는 히트파이프의 생산량도 급격한 신장세를 나타내고 있다. 이는 히트파이프 자체가 응답성이 좋고, 구조가 간단하며, 전열성이 뛰어난 장점으로 인하여 많은 연구가 이루어졌기 때 문이라 하겠다.그 응용분야는 인공위성으로부터 폐열회수용 열교환기, 전기장치 전자소자의 냉각, 음향기기의 냉각, 태양열과 지열의 유효이용, 플라스틱 금형의 냉각, 공작기계의 주축냉각, 포장 기계, 주방기기, 전력케이블의 냉각, 엔진 및 브레이크의 냉각 등 응용분야가 광범위하여 급격 하게 발전하고 있다. 그러나 국내에서는 히트파이프와 관련된 학술적인 연구결과가 발표되고 있을 뿐, 체계적이며 지속적인 연구가 수행되지 못하고 있다. 또한 산업계에서도 관련제품의 대 부분을 수입에 의존하고 있으며, 일부 제작업체에서는 제품이 나오고 있으나 축적기술결여로 그 성능면에 있어서 보증이 어려워 업계의 연구개발에 대한 노력이 절실히 요구되고 있다.
