The purpose of this paper is to recycle coal ash as structural backfill materials from electric power plants. Two million tons of coal ash are produced annually. The laboratory test was executed for the basic compatibility as substitution for structural backfill materials and the optimal mixture ratio(fly ash : bottom ash) was decided. In addition the model test was performed using medium scale earth pressure model with small size earth pressure cells model box data logger and some other apparatuses. Mixed coal ash and excellent backfill materials(coheisonless soil SW) were compared in the view of lateral earth pressure variation depending on wall displacement. The reduction of earth pressure when coal ash was used as a bockfill material was monitored comparing to that of cohesionless soil. the cost and environmental pollutants by treating coal ash can be reduced through developing the recycling technology.

폐 프린터의 발생량이 해마다 증가하고 있으며 이에 대한 재활용이 필요하다. 폐 프린터의 재활용에 있어서 다른 구성성분보다 기판의 처리가 문제가 된다. 본 연구는 폐 프린터의 기판을 재활용하는 데에 습식처리공정을 적용하기 위하여 먼저 전처리로 분쇄와 분리를 실시하였다. 기판을 1cm 이하로 분쇄한 다음 자력선별기를 이용하여 자성물질을 제거하고 비자성물질을 대상으로 4, 12, 40 mesh의 체를 이용하여 시료를 분리하였다. 전처리를 통하여 금속성분 특히 구리가 다량 함유된 12/40# 에 속한 시료를 대상으로 산에 의한 침출실험을 실시하였다. 실험 변수로는 산의 종류, 산 농도, 반응 온도, pulp density 등이었다.

Most industrial products nowadays have been manufactured by being made up of many parts what these are made from various kinds of materials. These parts and goods should be disassembled simply and classified easily by material or kinds of parts for the recycling. But it is not so easy to know how to take disassembly ways and those orders must be known and also analyzed the assembled points and directions of the every part. This research presents an design process for recycling that it will be considering whole design process for recycling about easiness of disassembling units as the prior condition to reuse the parts and used material, and to reduce waste parts.

In Korea, because of the shortage of reclaimed lands and disposal sites and the small size of national land, A political measure for construction wastes recycling is needed. therefore we studied the current state of construction wastes recycling and the act for it. And we analyzed problems and unreasonable regulations regarding the wastes. So we suggested an alternative act to increase the construction wastes recycling.

Recently, a large amount of waste has been occurred from electric motor units (EMUs) due to the excess of their duration or the exchange of interior. In Korea, most of waste has been treated by incineration or landfill because the special treatment system of disused EMUs has not been existed until now. The objective of this study is to investigate the international railroad cases for the efficient treatment of disused EMUs. Japanese railroad makes an effort to enhance the recycling efficiency of rolling stocks such as the use of recycling materials or the development of recycling technology. Also, Europe has decided to treat the disused rolling stocks considering the inspection of their conditions and the increase of management cost. Therefore, in the future, it will be necessary to improve the domestic regulations related to the duration of rolling stocks and to develop the recycling technology of interior preferentially.

Plastics waste constitutes approximately 23% by volume of the municipal solid waste(MSW) generated in the U.S. each year, and have slow rate of degradation in the environment. Therefore, there is a great deal of public pressure to recycle plastics, and more than 100 million people participate in the curbside recycling programs. Despite the high level of public interest, only 3.5% of the plastic are recycled, which is substantially lower than the recycle rates of other materials such as paper fibers, glass, and iron. Although a large part of the reason is due to the low price of virgin polymers, which in turn is due to the low price of oil, it is possible to make the plastics recycling as a profitable business by developing advanced technologies. In this communication, various methods of separating pplastics from metals and from each other are discussed.

The Korean Auto industry has developed remarkably over the past 30 years. In 2005 alone, Korea produced 3.7 million vehicles, and the number of vehicles registered surpassed the 15 million marks. The rapid growth in registration, however, has given increasing problems to the traffic congestion and the environmental pollution. The system for handling of ELV in Korea is governed by the 'Motor management law'. The law places the responsibility for vehicle scrapping directly on the vehicle owners. The take-back rate of ELV reaches nearly 100% in Korea since 1987. To further entourage recycling, the government introduced the extended producer responsibility system(EPRS) starting January 1, 2003, which imposes waste recycling obligations on producers or importers. According to the system, producers must recycle home appliances and packaging materials. This system, however, did not involve the automobiles. In 2006, the automobiles recycling law is under preparing now by the government. This article is concerning current status for End-of-Life vehicle's recycling and the recycling system model for advanced ELV industries in Korea.
