Various waste PCBs arose during disassembly of LCD TVs and monitors in which they originally functioned for transmission of imaging signal, power supply, and imaging control. In those functional PCBs, gold and copper are contained at far more acceptable level, exceeding mining grade ores. Those valuable metals and their contents widely vary with functionality and end use of PCBs. Therefore, compositional analysis of individual waste PCBs from disassembled LCD TVs and monitors were performed in the present study to classify them into three categories: high gold yield and low gold yield PCBs and those without gold contents. Besides, additional chemical analysis was made to reveal gold and copper contents in the waste PCBs arising from actual disassembly/separation of end-of-life LCD TVs and monitors.

Using the pyrolyzed carbon black (PCB) from waste tires, the performance of 13 mm dense-graded hot mix asphalt was evaluated. The Marshall mix design was carried out and the measured optimal asphalt content was 5.8%. The impact resonant test was conducted to obtain the elastic modulus and damping ratio of the hot mix asphalt. The elastic modulus of HMA increased with increasing amount of PCB. On the other hand, there was no significant change in the damping ratio. The Marshall mix design, indirect tensile test, permanent deformation test, and program analysis were carried out. The strength ratio of the PCB modified asphalt mixtures was within 10%. More 10% of PCB was not good for the permanent deformation of hot mix asphalt. From the pavement design program, the use of 5% PCB in hot mix asphalt showed a decrease in the top-down crack, bottom-up crack, and permanent deformation. Judging from the limited test and analysis, the use of 5% PCB is good for enhancing the pavement performance.

Physical property changes of printed circuit board (PCB) according to heat treatment conditions were investigated. The heat treatment was carried out in air and nitrogen atmosphere at temperature range from $200^{\circ}C$ to $325^{\circ}C$. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the PCB was pyrolyzed in two steps. The thickness of PCB expanded by 11~28% at about $300^{\circ}C$ in both air and nitrogen atmosphere as layer disintegration occurred. Mechanical strength of PCB decreased from 338.4 MPa to 20.3~40.2 MPa due to the delamination caused by the heat treatment. The heated printed circuit boards were crushed and sieved for analysis of density distribution and liberation degree of copper according to particle size. As a result of the density distribution measurement, non metallic particles and copper particles were concentrated into different size range, respectively. The liberation degree of copper was improved from 9.3% to 100% at size range of $1,400{\sim}2,000{\mu}m$ by heat treatment.

스톡홀름협약('04. 5.17 발효)은 PCBs를 다이옥신과 함께 대표적인 관리대상물질로 정하여 지구적 차원의 근절 노력을 본격화하고 있으며, 우리나라도 최근 조사결과 국내 변압기 중 상당수가 PCBs에 오염된 것으로 밝혀져 PCBs에 대한 안전관리대책 마련이 시급한 실정이며 이에 따라, 2007년까지 PCBs 함유 전력장비에 대한 국가목록작성 및 우선 관리대상 설정을 위하여 유입식 변압기에 대한 전국사용현황 파악이 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전국 유입변압기에 대한 PCBs 오염 측정 분석 조사 수행을 위해 전기설비 수용가내 유입변압기 현황을 바탕으로 우선 관리 대상을 선정하고 처리 대상 유입변압기에 대한 안전처리 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

The number of waste tires is increasing. One effective recycling method is the pyrolysis of waste tires. Using the pyrolyzed carbon black from waste tires, the characteristics of permanent deformation for PA-13mm porous mixture were evaluated. The confining pressure of 138 kPa and deviatoric stress of 551 kPa were adopted. The testing temperature was $45^{\circ}$ and 50 gyrations of the gyratory compactor was used to simulate the medium traffic level. The mixture modified by 10% PCB showed the largest Marshall Stability of 3.41 kN. The stability of the mixtures with PCB was 50% higher than that of mixture without PCB. The limited laboratory test showed that the use of PCB in a porous pavement decreases the permanent deformation and will be an effective alternative method to reducing the permanent deformation of a porous pavement.

This study was carried out to find an environmental friendly and effective way to leach Au and Ag from scrap of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) using sodium-hypochlorite solution. In an EDS analysis, valuable metals such as Cu, Sn, Sb, Al, Ni, Pb and Au were all found in PCBs. The highest leaching rates obtained were 1% of pulp density with a chlorine:hypochlorite of 2:1 and a concentration of NaCl at 2M. The highest Au recovery was observed with the addition of sodium metabisulfite to make a 3M solution. It is confirmed that the leaching agent (chlorine-hypochlorite) could effectively leach Au and Ag from Printed Circuit Boards (scrap parts) and the additive reagent sodium metabisulfite could easily precipitate Au from the chlorine-hypochlorite solution.

The recovery of metals from printed circuit board(PCBs) scraps was investigated by utilizing a shape sorting method.After all electronic parts mounted on the board were removed. PCBs were pulverized to particles smaller than 1 mm by aswing hammer type impact mill in order to liberate metal components. Metals were separated from nonmetalliccomponents by an inclined vibrating plate (IVP). The metal separation efficiency was measured as a function of vihrationintensity and inclined angle. The maximum efficiency was obtained when IVP was operated at the vibration intensity(Kv)of 1.40 and the inclined angle of 10". The grade of the metal components was recovered from PCBs exceeding 90% byusing IVP.0% by using IVP.
