For the remediation and restoration of contaminated sediment at the West Sea-Byeong dumping site, dredged materials was dumped in 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017. The physicochemical properties and benthic fauna in surface sediments of the capping area (5 stations) and natural recovery area (2 stations) were analyzed annually from 2014 to 2020 to evaluate the capping effect of the dredged materials. The natural recovery area had a finer sediment with a mean particle size of 5.91-7.64 Φ, while the sediment in the capping area consisted of coarse-grained particles with a mean particle size of 1.47-3.01 Φ owing to the capping effect of dredged materials. Considering that the contents of organic matters (COD, TOC, and TN) and heavy metals in the capping area are approximately 50 % lower (p<0.05) than that in the natural recovery area, it is judged that there is a capping effect of dredged materials. As a result of analyzing macrobenthic assemblages, the number of species and ecological indices of the capping area were significantly lower than that of the natural recovery area (p<0.05). The number of species and ecological indices at the capping area were increased for the first four years after the capping in 2013 and 2014 and then tended to decrease thereafter. It is presumed that opportunistic species, which have rapid growth and short lifetime, appeared dominantly during the initial phase of capping, and the additory capping in 2016 and 2017 caused re-disturbance in the habitat environment. In the natural recovery and capping areas, Azti's Marine Biotic Index (AMBI) was evaluated as a fine healthy status because it maintained the level of 2^nd grades (Good), whereas Benthic Pollution Index (BPI) remained at the 1^st and 2^nd grade. Therefore, capping of dredged materials for remediation of contaminated sediment in the dumping site has the effect of reducing the pollution level. However, in terms of the benthic ecosystem, it is recommended that the recovery trend should be monitored long-term. Additionally, it is necessary to introduce an adaptive management strategy when expanding the project to remediate the contaminated sediment at the dumping area in the future.

In recent years, the global GEF(Green Energy Family) activities to preserve the global environment due to energy consumption have been implemented under the Kyoto Protocol for the Prohibition of Carbon Dioxide Emissions, RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive), and WEEE(Waste Electrical and Electronice Equipment) are required to collect waste for the purpose of minimizing waste by integrating lighting and communication. In this paper, we constructed a controller that can control the illumination of RGB LED module by using fuzzy inference system and checking environmental factors(Illumination, distance to the subject, etc.) using microprocessor in real time.

As London and post-Koyto protocols presumably affect emission of organic waste in Korea in 2012, appropriate treatment of organic waste becomes very important. Organic wastes are regarded as non-point pollutants. It has been criticized that direct emission charges on the emission of non-point pollutants are not effective due to the high uncertainty in the relationship between pollution sources and pollution levels. This study suggests indirect emission charges on production of livestocks or consumption on foods. Furthermore, it is assumed that revenue from the emission charges will be recycled to support biogas production. Biogas can be fueled to produce energy. In order to evaluate potential economic and environmental impacts of recycling the indirect emission charges on organic wastes, a static CGE model was developed. Simulation results of emission charges on the production of livestock show that livestock, agriculture, and food industry will confront relatively high burden while emission charges on consumption of food will affect more broadly and consumers will suffer more. Production charge on livestock sector will lead to higher reduction in GDP and total expenditure relative to the consumption charge. GHGs reduction effect was higher for the consumption charge relative to the production charge. Synthetically, consumption charge on food sector is more desirable as an alternative charge for the emission of organic wastes.

As a result of population growth and economic growth, household and industrial wastes continue to rapidly increase every year. Especially, sewage sludge produced at final stage is increasing with the constant construction and putting in good order of the sewage plant. In addition to the government's prohibition for filling up the sludge, it became more and more difficult to discharge wastes to the sea as London Dumping Convention '96 came into effect. And sewage sludge and the livestock wastes are expected to be thoroughly prohibited from discharging to the sea from 2012. So we need desperately economical and useful alternatives to compact and reuse these wastes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utilization of solidified sludge-soil mixture as an enhancement and covering material. To determine the proper mixed ratio of solidified sludge, this study conducted basic physical properties tests, compaction tests, uniaxial compression tests, and permeability test. It was found that the higher the ratio of solidified sludge, the lower the coefficient of permeability. Upon the results of particle size distribution, the mixed ratio of solidified sludge that meet the enhancement material condition was 59% or lower for SP granite soil and 48% or lower for SM granite soil respectively.

국제협약에 따라 2012년부터 유기성폐기물의 해양배출이 금지됨에 따라 환경문제를 유발하는 축산분뇨, 음식물쓰레기, 농축산 폐기물 등의 처리가 곤란한 실정이다. 그러나 최근 저탄소 녹색성장으로 정부가 폐자원 에너지화에 관심을 기울이면서 위의 폐기물을 바이오가스로 전환하는 바이오가스 플랜트(Biogas Plant, BGP)의 이용이 보다 활성화 될 전망이다[1]. 이 바이오가스 처리방법에서 유기물은 메탄가스로 배출되고[2], 나머지 영양성분들(질소, 인산, 칼륨 등)은 모두 소화액에 남아있으므로[3] 이들은 친환경농업에서 필요한 액비로도 활용이 가능하며, 혐기소화 처리방법은 일반적인 가축분뇨 처리과정에서 발생되는 악취문제도 해결할 수 있는 장점 또한 가지고 있다. BGP는 유기성 폐기물에서 혐기성소화를 통해 바이오가스를 만드는 장점이 있는 반면, 가스를 만들고 남은 소화액은 액비로 활용이 가능하지만, 액비로 활용이 불가능할 경우 악성 폐수로 그 처리가 매우 까다로운 단점이 있다. 일반적인 생물학적인 폐수처리방법으로는 처리가 곤란하며, 환경기준을 맞추도록 처리하는데 많은 비용이 소요된다. 이러한 폐액처리를 위해 공정의 단순화와 높은 처리 효율[4]을 가지면서, 액비 또는 정화처리공정이 가능한 방법으로서 분리막공정이 바람직하나, BGP 발생폐액의 성상이 고농도의 오염물질을 함유하고 있어 적용이 쉽지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이를 보안할 수 있는 와류발생형 막모듈을 이용하여 Biogas Plant의 발생폐수에 대하여 분리막을 이용한 효과적인 처리공정을 개발하고 그에 따른 최적의 조건을 찾는 연구를 하고자 한다. 와류발생형 막모듈을 막과 막 사이에 와류를 발생시킴으로써 막에 전단력을 가하여 막의 가장 큰 단점인 막오염을 줄이는 방법으로 기존의 막모듈과 큰 차이가 있을 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 분리막 모듈[5]과 와류발생형 막모듈의 차이를 실험을 통해 확인하며, 막에 가해지는 압력, 막을 통과하는 유량 등의 차이를 두어 최적조건을 탐색하였다.

This paper is a study on the implementation of a sensor-based smart compression system for improving home and street environments. Since modernization, the amount of garbage has been increasing every year, and this has seriously adversely affected not only people but also ecosystems such as marine pollution and soil pollution. In particular, in large cities with large floating populations, garbage is dumped on the streets without proper measures to deal with the amount of waste generated. In order to improve this problem, this paper intends to implement a system with automatic compression and opening/closing functions using sensors. This system is designed to activate automatic opening/closing function through an infrared sensor, and automatically opening and closing when the inclination is changed using an impact sensor. In addition, by installing a distance sensor, the amount of internal waste can be easily monitored from the outside, and a manual compression switch and a manual opening/closing switch is separately designed to enable opening and closing and compression as needed to increase the effectiveness.

최근 정부의 녹색성장 정책, 고유가시대 도래, 온실가스 감축 의무화, 폐기물 해양배출 강화 등으로 인해 폐기물의 자원화에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 국내에서 발생되는 가연성폐기물을 기존의 감량처리 대신 가스화 공정을 적용하여 합성가스로 전환할 경우 환경친화적이고 고효율의 에너지 회수가 가능하게 된다. 폐기물 가스화를 통해 얻어진 합성가스는 난방, 가스엔진 및 연료전지를 이용한 전기생산과 DME, SNG등의 합성연료유 제조에 활용될 수 있으며, WGS 반응 및 PSA 방법에 의해 수소를 얻을 수 있다. 이와 더불어 최근에는 메탄올과 CO의 합성을 통해 얻어지는 초산제조 공정에서의 원료로서 폐기물 가스화를 통한 합성가스 내의 CO를 활용하는 방안이 연구되고 있다. 이는 기존 초산 제조공정에서 CO를 생산하기 위해 소모되는 고가의 석유계(납사, 중질유) 원료를 절감할 수 있어 경제적으로 장점을 가지고 있다. 이를 위해서는 폐기물 가스화에서 발생된 합성가스 내에 포함된 금속성분, 분진등의 오염물질의 농도가 후단공정에 영향을 주지 않아야 하며, 초산제조공정의 안정적인 운전을 위해 합성가스의 CO, $H_2$ 조성 변화폭이 ${\pm}5%$이하로 유지되어야 하는 기술적인 문제를 해결해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 폐기물 가스화 시스템의 운전특성을 통해 환경성, 기술성, 경제성을 분석 평가 할 수 있도록 구성된 분석 프레임워크를 이용하여, 초산제조공정에 적용하기위한 상용급 폐기물 가스화 시스템의 특성을 비교 분석하였다.

염색폐수의 정화에는 필연적으로 다량의 슬러지 폐기물이 발생한다. 염색폐수 슬러지는 그간 인근 공해 해상에 투기하는 해양 배출로 저렴하게 처리하였으나, 해양오염을 우려하는 국제협약(1972년 런던협약, 1996년 교토의정서)에 의하여 2008년 8월부터 배출기준이 강화되고 2012년 2월부터는 해양배출이 금지 될 예정이다. 염색폐수 슬러지의 해양 배출이 금지되면 대체 처리방법으로는 지정매립장을 통한 매립처리 방법이나 고온 소각시설에서의 소각처리 방법이 거론되고 있다. 그러나 매립처리는 슬러지 내 함유 수분으로 인한 침출수의 문제와 더불어 장기간 안정적으로 저렴하게 사용할 수 있는 대규모 처분장을 확보하기 어려운 실정이며 소각처리는 슬러지의 높은 함수율로 인해 소각 시보조 연료의 투입이 필연적으로 최근 원유가 급등 등 에너지 비용이 지속적으로 상승함을 고려할 때 소각처리비용 또한 상당한 고가가 될 것으로 예측된다. 이와 같이 슬러지 해양배출이 금지되면 섬유 염색업체들은 많은 환경비용 부담을 안을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 대규모 염색산업단지 공동폐수처리장에서 발생하는 염색폐수 슬러지의 효율적인 건조를 위해 산업단지 내의 열병합발전소에서 발생하는 보일러 폐열을 이용하였으며, 조건 특성 및 효율을 파악하기 위해 보일러 폐열의 특성을 고려하여 슬러지 두께 및 체류시간 등 건조공정 운영조건에 따른 변수별 연구를 수행하였다. 열병합발전소 보일러에서 배출되는 폐열은 온도가 $150^{\circ}C$ 정도로 기존의 슬러지 건조에서는 사용되는 $700^{\circ}C$에 비해서는 매우 저온이다. 하지만 보일러 배가스의 경우, 온도에 비해 많은 풍량을 가지고 있으므로 열량으로 환산시 충분히 가치가 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 염색폐수 슬러지의 경우, 함수율 70% 이내의 탈수 Cake 형태이므로 두께가 두꺼울수록 건조효율이 감소하였으며, 체류시간이 길어질수록 건조효율은 증가하나 20mm 이상에서는 건조효율이 급격히감소하였다. 이를 바탕으로 5톤/일 규모 슬러지 건조 Pilot Plant를 제작하여 운영하였는데, 염색폐수슬러지의 투입공정에서 슬러지와 열풍의 접촉면적을 넓혀 건조효율을 높이기 위하여 슬러지를 압출노즐을 이용하여 슬라이스 칩 형태로 제조하여 건조공정에 투입하였으며, 건조실 내에서도 건조효율의 상승을 위하여 내부열풍순환팬을 설치하여 운영하였다. Pilot 운영결과, 체류시간 52분에서 슬러지의 함수율은 70%에서 10%이하로 감소하였다.

This study examined for possibility of the food wastewater incineration treatment method as one of overland treatment method by incineration through liquefied spray of food wastewater when incinerating domestic wastes under operation and for the relationship, etc of air discharge material discharged in incineration, and the results of study are as follow: The food wastewater as one of overland treatment method was analysed 94-96% of moisture contents. Temperature of incinerator outduct during mixed incineration of food wastewater with MSW was average $897^{\circ}C$ and incineration of only MSW was $925^{\circ}C$. Temperature of the mixed incineration of food wastewater was dropped about $28^{\circ}C$ by incineration of only MSW. Concentration of nitrogen oxides(NOx) among air discharge gases was studied by 50ppm, 46ppm when inputting $200{\ell}/hr$, $300{\ell}/hr$ into the incinerator as the quantity of food wastewater. In the mixed incineration of food wastewater, generation speed of scales in the inside of a tubular exhaust gas boiler became rapid and the scale generation quantity became large but the exhaust gas boiler normally operated since scales were removed in cleaning of the tube with a compressive air cleaning facility and there was no opening clogging phenomena in a filter cloth of the filtering dust collector. The overland treatment method, not ocean dumping of food wastewater can be proposed as a technology since mixed incineration of food wastewater with MSW in the existing domestic waste incineration plant is possible, and operation costs of the incineration facility were reduced since use of chemicals such as ammonia and urinary hydrogen ion excretion, etc used in incineration facilities for removing nitrogen oxides(NOx).
