Environmental pollution problems are occurring due to the negative treatment of basalt waste in Jeju Island. This study identifies the characteristics of permeable block with basalt with physical and chemical adsorption mechanisms and examines their applicability and functionality as building materials. This experiment is basic data for evaluating the functionality of the permeable block by analyzing flexural strength, compressive strength, permeability coefficient, carbon dioxide, and fine dust adsorption rate by producing a permeable block using a basalt waste rock. As the basalt waste stone replacement rate increased, the flexural strength and compressive strength tended to decrease, and as the replacement rate increased, the water permeability coefficient, absorption rate, carbon dioxide, and fine dust adsorption rate tended to increase. Therefore, it is judged that the permeable block using the basalt waste rock is superior to the existing permeable block.

Maximum adsorption amount of the mixed culture, $2.06{\times}10^{11} cells/g$ is closed to the sum of that of each bacterial component: $1.39{\times}10^{11}cells/g$ for T. ferrooxidans and $1.08{\times}10^{11}cells/g$ for T. thiooxidans. These indicate that the two bacterial species have almost independent preferential adsorption sites on furnace dust. However, the efficiency of leaching, 35% for mixture, 45% for T.f. and 30% for T.t., was not linearly related to the ratio of adsorption in three different systems even though it was increased in parallel with the bacterial adsorption in the same system.

In order to find out the decomposing factors of Sumithion in mineral diluents, the physical and chemical properties of the diluents such as talcs, bentonites, diatomaceous earth and other clay minerals was studied in relation to the decomposition rate of Sumithion in dust formulations. The total base, moisture adsorption capacity, pH, specific surface, water contents, active $Fe^{++}$, ignition loss and cation exchange capacity were analysed as the properties of mineral diluents, and these properties were correlated with the stability of Sumithion in dust formulations. And in hope of finding out the main factors among those properties of diluents, the decomposed products of Sumithion in dust formulations prepared with standard Sumithion were separated by the methods of column chromatography and investigated by thin layer chromatography. The following results were otbained; 1. The total base, moisture adsorption capacity, specific surface, water contents, active $Fe^{++}$ and cation exchange capacity of mineral diluents were found to be highly effective on the rate of decomposition of Sumithion in dust formulations. 2. Decomposed products of Sumithion in dust formulations were found to be dimethylphosphorothionate, 3-methyl-4-nitro phenol and its derivatives. And one fraction was not dissolved in n-hexane and ethylether, but was soluble in methylalcohol and ethylalcohol. 3. The moat highly correlated properties of diluents with the decomposition rate of Sumithion in dust were found to be the total base and water contents. 4. In regard to the kind of diluents, it was found that the rate of decomposition of Sumithion in dust formulations was higher in order of bentonite, diatomaceous earth, kaolin and talc.

Recently, the danger of fine dust has emerged worldwide. In general, fine dust refers to particulate matter less than 10㎛ and ultrafine dust less than 2.5㎛, and according to the announcement by HEI (Health Impact Research Institute) in 2015, the concentration of ultrafine dust in Korea is the second highest among OECD member countries. It was investigated. In this study, an experiment was conducted to analyze how the diatomaceous earth substitution rate affects the strength characteristics of the permeable block. As the replacement rate of diatomaceous earth increased, the strength decreased. The reason why the strength decreases with the use of diatomaceous earth is that the strength of the hardened body decreases as the structure of the hardened body becomes less dense as the amount of diatomaceous earth increases, and the reason that the strength decreases as the replacement rate of diatomaceous earth increases is the reason for the absorption performance of diatomaceous earth. Therefore, it is judged that a void was generated inside the hardened body while water was absorbed and then evaporated or discharged in the matrix, and accordingly, the strength decreased.

The reduction efficiency of air cleaner on particulate contaminants such as dust, airborne bacteria and fungi distributed in the office was relatively higher in case of office with workers than office without workers. This result would be attributed to workers' activities and physical characteristics of particulate contaminants. The air cleaner decreased a concentration of airborne bacteria more than airborne fungi, which implicates that difference of dust adsorption between airborne bacteria and fungi would affect an operation efficiency of air cleaner.

In recent years, biochar has received much attention as soil amendment, enhancing soil fertility and reducing toxicity of heavy metals with its large specific surface area and high pH. Biochar has also the effect of alleviating global warming by carbon sequestration from recycling organic wastes by pyrolysis. However, scattering of fine particles of biochar is a hindrance to expand its use from human health point-of-view. Alginate, a natural polymer without toxicity, has been used for capsulation and hydrogel fabrication due to its cross-linking nature with calcium ion. In this study, the method of cross-linkage between alginate and calcium ion was employed for making dust-free biochar bead. Then an equilibrium adsorption experiment was performed for verifying the adsorption effect of biochar bead on heavy metals (cadmium, copper, lead, arsenic, and zinc). Results showed that biochar bead had effects on adsorbing heavy metals, especially lead, except arsenic.

Colored compounds adsorption from the textile dyeing effluents on activated carbons produced from various indigenous vegetable sources by zinc chloride activation is studied. The most important parameters in chemical activation were found to be the chemical ratio of $ZnCl_2$ to feed (3:1), carbonization temperature (460-470 $^{\circ}C$) and time of activation (75 min). The absorbance at 511 nm (red effluent) and 615 nm (blue effluent) are used for estimation of color. It is established that at optimum temperature ($50^{\circ}C$), time of contact (30-40 min) and adsorbent loading (2 g/L), activated carbons developed from rain tree (Samanea saman) saw dust and blackberry (Randia formosa) tree saw dust showed great capability to remove color materials from the effluents. It is observed that adsorption of reactive dyes by all types of activated carbons is more than that of disperse dyes. It is explained that because of its acidic nature the activated carbon can adsorb better reactive dye particles containing large number of nitrogen sites and $-SO_3Na$ group in their structure. The use of activated carbons from the indigenous biomass would be economical, because saw dusts are readily available waste worldwide.

For modern people who spend 80% of the day indoors, indoor air quality is an important factor in their lives. Radon and fine dust, which are indoor air quality pollutants, cause various diseases and lung diseases, so a method is needed to reduce them. Therefore, this study intends to utilize the air pollutant adsorption properties of the carbonized sludge by using the carbonized sludge generated through drying and carbonization of the sludge. As a result of the experiment, it was shown that the concentration of radon and fine dust gradually decreased as the replacement ratio of carbonized sludge increased. The reason is that the carbonized sludge has the ability to adsorb fine dust and radon, so it is considered that it gradually decreases as the replacement ratio increases. Also, the compressive strength and flexural strength tend to decrease gradually. The reason for this is that the carbonized sludge has a number of internal voids, and as the replacement ratio increases, the internal voids increase and the strength decreases. If the refinement and strength of the carbonized sludge replacement ratio are supplemented, it is believed that it will be able to replace the existing finishing materials.

The decomposition of malathion in dust for mulations prepared from four Korean tales as carriers during storage period has been studied. Amberlite CG-120, a cation exchange resin . which has higher cation exchange capacity than tales, was also used as a carrier in hope of finding out the effect of nagative charge upon the decomposition of malathion. Besides the original talc powders obtained directly from the mines, the hydrogen ion saturated forms were also used as carriers for comparisonal study. The saturated ions for the resin were hydrogen, sodium and magnesium. As the physical properties of the tales, colloid content, water adsorption capacity, PH, specific surface, phosphate fixing capacity and exchangeable canons were determined, and these properties were correlated with the amount of the decomposition. Following results were obtained from the experiment. 1. The malathion in the talc in dust was found to decompose around 10-15% ofthe total withina month. About 50% of the decom position that took place after a month was found to occur within a week. 2. The resin which has higher cation exchange capacity than the tales was highly effective in the decomposition of malathion compared with the tales. 3. In every case the saturation of the exchange complexes with hydrogen ion greatly accelerated the decomposition of malathion. 4. The most highly correlated physical properties with the decomposition were colloid content and specific surface of the tales. 5. The water adsorption and phosphate fixing capacities of the tales were found not to correlate with the amount of malathion decomposed. From the experimental results it was concluded that the active negative spots on the colloidal tales or the resin attract the electropositive phosphorus atom in a malathion molecule thereby inducing the decomposition easier. The presence of hydrogen ion nearby might cause a catalytic effect in the decomposition of malathion.

Among the dyeing industries, the tenter process is a process that improves the quality of fibers by drying and ironing (heat treatment) dyed fabrics, and drugs such as water repellents, antistatic agents, and fiber softeners are mainly used in these tenter processes. These drugs are vaporized in the process of treatment by high temperatures (180 ~ 230℃), and are observed in a complex form such as white smoke, oil mist, and fine dust, causing odor. To treat the complex exhaust gas at the rear end of the tenter facility, most companies operate by installing a wet scrubber and an adsorption tower alone or in parallel, but there are many problems. In particular, the insoluble oil mist at the rear end of the tenter has significantly low processing efficiency in the cleaning dust collection facility, and there is a problem in the facility by adsorption due to the occlusion phenomenon caused by the oil mist. In addition, the odor gas at the rear end of the tenter contains a lot of aldehydes, and in order to improve these various problems, a complex exhaust purification device using cyclone and electric support collector was developed. This study examined the applicability of economical and efficient technology by removing complex air pollution at the rear end of the tenter and applying improved technology than the existing technology.
