The study was carried out to investigate on the response of environmental sanitation problems in action of the volume based waste charge system in Seoul The responses from the 346 persons who dwelled in Seoul was stimulatively answered, this system was considered as a successful on 70.5% of total answers, but little portion(29.4 % ) of those was unknown on the mean of this system. And we knew that this system was need to the communication and education through the press media about this one. After the action of the volume based waste system, the volume of refuse discharged in a day was decreased 30 ∼40% than before. In the problems of environmental sanitation after this system, the number of sanitary insect( cockroach etc ) and rat was decreased, also the production of orders and dust caused by refuse was decreased in comparison with those before. This results were considered that the Separate Collection should be perfectly performed. In response, the regular envelope of refuse was serious problems, the improvement for this one was demanded. The kind of difficult refuse treated was waste rubbers> electric products > furniture> foodstuffs> bottles, cans> papers, pulps etc, and the next proposal for this system should be prepared. Conclusively, the volume based waste charge system should be remarkable system In terms of resources recycling as well as wastes reduction. Above all in order to conform this system the separate collection system should be systematically performed, the next improvable proposal of the detailed methods in this system should be prepared.

최근의 환경정책은 직접규제 방식에서 경제적 유인방식으로 전환되고 있으며, 우리나라를 비롯한 OECD 국가들은 경제적 유인수단 중의 하나로 부담금제도를 두고 있다. 국내에서 자연환경을 훼손하는 행위에 대해 부과하는 부담금은 다양하다. 이 중 자연환경 훼손에 관한 부담금은 다수의 행정부처의 소관 법률에 의하여 규정되고, 부담금들의 부과목적 또는 소관부처에 따라 특색을 지니고 있기 때문에 부담금 상호간에 부과금액과 산정방식, 감면규정 등의 차이로 인한 형평성 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 생태계보전협력금은 자연환경 훼손에 부과하는 가장 주요한 부담금이며, 훼손된 자연환경의 복원 및 개선 보전에 있어 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 그러나 동 부담금은 부과금액의 상한선을 두고 있고, 단위면적당 부과금액의 산정에 있어서 훼손된 자연환경의 실질적 가치를 제대로 반영하지 못하고 있다. 이에 반해 산지전용에 대한 부담금인 대체산림자원조성비는 부과금액의 산정에 있어서 보전가치에 따라 차등부과 되고 단위면적당 부과금액에 있어서도 산림의 가치가 반영되고는 있으나, 광범위한 감면규정이 존재함으로써 자연환경의 실질적 보전효과는 낮은 것으로 여겨진다. 특히 동일 또는 유사한 자연환경의 훼손에 대해 부과하는 부담금의 산정에 있어서 부담금간에 상당한 차이가 발생하는 점은 현행 부담금제도에 있어서 가장 큰 문제 중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서 도출된 부담금의 형평성 제고방안은 다음과 같다. 먼저 부과대상을 명확히 하고, 부담금 산정의 적정성을 제고하여야 한다. 이를 위해 부담금 산정 시 훼손되는 자연환경이 가지는 본래의 가치를 반영하도록 하며 생태계보전협력금의 경우에는 그 상한액을 폐지할 필요가 있다. 또한 부과절차를 정비하고 감면규정 등을 개선함과 동시에 부담금 운용에 있어서 투명성을 기하여야 한다. 더불어 부담금의 예외규정을 축소하고 특별회계 및 기금으로 징수된 부담금은 그 부과목적에 맞게 운용되어야 한다. 결론적으로 자연환경 훼손에 관한 부담금은 그 부과목적이 적절하고, 부과금액이 타당하여야 하며 부과절차 및 운용에 있어 투명성과 효율성을 제고하여야 한다.

Background: Surfactant-containing water sprays are commonly used in coal mines to collect dust. This study investigates the dust collection performance of different surfactant types for a range of coal dust particle sizes and charges. Methods: Bituminous coal dust aerosol was generated in a wind tunnel. The charge of the aerosol was either left unaltered, charge-neutralized with a neutralizer, or positively- or negatively-charged using a diffusion charger after the particles were neutralized. An anionic, cationic, or nonionic surfactant spray or a plain water spray was used to remove the particles from the air flow. Some particles were captured while passing through spray section, whereas remaining particles were charge-separated using an electrostatic classifier. Particle size and concentration of the charge-separated particles were measured using an aerodynamic particle sizer. Measurements were made with the spray on and off to calculate overall collection efficiencies (integrated across all charge levels) and efficiencies of particles with specific charge levels. Results: The diameter of the tested coal dust aerosol was $0.89{\mu}m{\pm}1.45$ [geometric $mean{\pm}geometric$ standard deviations (SD)]. Respirable particle mass was collected with $75.5{\pm}5.9%$ ($mean{\pm}SD$) efficiency overall. Collection efficiency was correlated with particle size. Surfactant type significantly impacted collection efficiency: charged particle collection by nonionic surfactant sprays was greater than or equal to collection by other sprays, especially for weakly-charged aerosols. Particle charge strength was significantly correlated with collection efficiency. Conclusion: Surfactant type affects charged particle spray collection efficiency. Nonionic surfactant sprays performed well in coal dust capture in many of the tested conditions.

Recently, the study and development of environment-friendly energy technique have increased in worldwide due to environmental pollution and energy resources problems. In vehicle industry, the development of electric vehicle(EV) is now on progress, and also, many other governments support the study and development and make an effort for EV to become widely available. In addition, though they strive to construct the EV infra such as a charge station for EV, the techniques related to managing charge demand and peak power are not enough. The standard of EV communication has been already established as ISO/IEC 15118, however, most of implemented EVs and EV charge stations do not support any communication between each of them. In this paper, an improved slow charge scheme for non-communication EVs is proposed and designed by using predicting charge demand. The proposed scheme consists of distributed charge model and charge demand prediction. The distributed charge model is designed to manage to distribute charge power depending on available charge power and charge demand. The charge demand prediction is designed to be used in the distributed charge model. The proposed scheme is based on the collected data which were from EV slow charge station in business building during the past 1 year. The system-level simulation results show that the waiting time of EV and the charge fee of the proposed scheme are better than those of the conventional scheme.

Silver nanoparticles were loaded onto g-C₃N₄ (CN) with a nanoroll-type morphology (Ag/CN) synthesized using a co-polymerization method for highly selective conversion of toxic nitrobenzene to industrially-valuable aminobenzene. Scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images of Ag/CN revealed the generation of the nanoroll-type morphology of CN. Additionally, HRTEM analysis provided direct evidence of the generation of a Schottky barrier between Ag and CN in the Ag/CN nanohybrid. Photoluminescence analysis and photocurrent measurements suggested that the introduction of Ag into CN could minimize charge recombination rates, enhancing the mobility of electrons and holes to the surface of the photocatalyst. Compared to pristine CN, Ag/CN displayed much higher ability in the photocatalytic reduction of nitrobenzene to aminobenzene, underscoring the importance of Ag deposition on CN. The enhanced photocatalytic performance and photocurrent generation were primarily ascribed to the Schottky junction formed at the Ag/CN interface, greater visible-light absorption efficiency, and improved charge separation associated with the nanoroll morphology of CN. Ag would act as an electron sink/trapping center, enhancing the charge separation, and also serve as a good co-catalyst. Overall, the synergistic effects of these features of Ag/CN improved the photocatalytic conversion of nitrobenzene to aminobenzene.

Korea introduced the cooperation charge on conservation of ecosystem for minimizing damage of ecosystem due to development projects and their effects and for preparing resources for natural environment conservation projects. Advanced countries have made efforts by expanding investment in natural environment conservation and restoring projects to promote prevention of global warming and improvement of biological diversity, are establishing nationwide strategies and plans. To examine the reality of projects by returns of the cooperation charge on conservation of ecosystem, microsite projects in schools and public facilities take the largest share while their project budgets are only about 100~300 KRW, relatively small, which might be attributable to budget restrictions in accordance with the calculating method of levying cooperation charge on conservation of ecosystem and problems of project proceeding in the system of returning fund for projects in general. The conclusion which this study suggests on invigoration of cooperation charge on conservation of ecosystem and its operation are as followings. First, although the cooperation charge on conservation of ecosystem has been introduced in 2001, the amount of imposition per unit area remains unchanged. It is desirable to increase the amount into $1,400KRW/m^2$ as of August, 2011 as the price index has been continuously rising for the past 10 years and the upward adjustment of imposition per unit area should be notified by the decree of the Ministry of Environment every January. Second, the ceiling amount of the cooperation charge on conservation of ecosystem should be abolished. Now the ceiling amount is defined as 1 billion KRW but it was found that there was not any ceiling amount specified according to the comparative analysis of similar systems with the Korean environmental improvement fund. The ceiling should be abolished so that medium level businesses are carried out and ecosystem recovering projects in the true sense of the word can be made smoothly. Third, weight should be introduced in calculating amounts in accordance with ecologic and economic values. Harmony between development and environment can be achieved by applying differentiated weights of constant regional coefficient by use zone and ecologic and economic values. Continuous efforts of improving cooperation charge on conservation of ecosystem should be made more than anything else so that projects by returns of cooperation charge on conservation of ecosystem get effectiveness.

토양의 하전특성을 평가하는 데 이용되는 이온흡착법에서 지표이온이 달라졌을 때 측정되는 표면전하량의 차이를 파악하기 위하여, 화강암을 모재로 하는 논토양(지산통, 사촌통)과 밭토양(상주통, 백산통)에 $Na^+$와 $K^+$ 이온을 지표이온으로 하는 이온흡착법을 적용하였다. 표면 음전하는 모든 pH에서 직선적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였고, 표면 양전하는 pH6 이하에서만 미량으로 발현되고 중성 이상에서는 거의 발현되지 않았다. 또, NaCl이 지표이온종인 경우 KCl을 사용하여 측정한 표면전하량에 비해 측정된 모든 pH 범위에서 상대적으로 낮은 전하밀도값을 나타내었다. 이러한 차이는 지표이온종의 수화반경에 따른 표면 흡착강도 차에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. 지산, 사촌, 백산통의 표면전하량은 pH에 따라 $0.21{\sim}9.01cmol_c{\cdot}kg^{-1}$의 범위 내에 존재하였으며, 통일한 pH에서는 백산통의 표면전하 밀도가 다른 토양에 비하여 가장 높게 나타났다. 본 연구에서 분석된 토양의 pH 변화에 따른 전하변화량(dCEC/dpH)은 가변전하를 발현시키는 토양구성물 중 유기물에 의하여 가장 크게 변화하는 것으로 나타났다.

The reduction of carbon dioxide emission is hot issue in the world because we are confronted with serious global warming and climate change. As a part of carbon dioxide reduction efforts, various approaches for increasing filler loading have been carried out in order to decrease the energy consumption in papermaking processes. Effects of the pretreatment of GCC with cationic starch and MFC on the flocculation behaviour of GCC were investigated in this study. Pretreatment of GCC with cationic starch caused the change of electric charge of suspension and flocculation behaviour of GCC. Largest flocculation size was obtained near the isoelectric point in the case of cationic starch treatment. When MFC (30 times grinded) was added after preflocculation of GCC with cationic starch, the flocculation size was increased, but largest flocculation size was obtained at -150 mV of electric charge of suspension in this study. However the addition of highly grinded MFC (60 times grinded) caused smaller flocculation size of GCC than those of MFC (30 times grinded). When GCC and MFC were mixed first, and then cationic starch was added, the characteristics of MFC and the change of electric charge which could be brought by cationic starch did not affect the flocculation size of GCC at all. The flocculation size obtained by the combination of cationic starch and MFC was smaller than those of cationic starch. These results show that flocculation behaviour could be controlled by the change of electric charge of suspension and the combination methods of cationic starch and MFC.
