Pollution characteristics of leachate and underground soul of the two landfill states were Investigated Domestic wastes were dumped In the two adjacent landfill states. Only small portion of S landifill site was filled with domestic wastes at the first stage of dumping, and most portion of the site was filled with construction wastes. However Y landfill strate was filed with mostly domestic wastes. Higher concentrations of organic pollutants including VOCs were measured In Y landfill site leachate than In S tendon site. Underground souls of the two linam states were analyzed by the two kinds of leaching methods, KEP (Korean Extraction Processl and Acid Digestion. Underground souls of the both landfill states were not polluted by leachates. Underground soils of the two were composed of firie salty material. Thus It Is fecund that fine silty soul layer of the sea shore may be used as a landfillsite.

To evaluate the stability of the compost made from food wastes, which were treated in the fermenting tank for 96 hours and then composted additionally in the static pile, physico-chemical properties and phytotoxicities were investigated. When food wastes were treated in the fermenting tank for 96 hours at $55{\sim}60^{\circ}C$, there is the effect of decreasing about 60% of total weight and improving the storage and the handling. However, it is impossible to make the matured compost in the fermenting tank within 2~3 days, which is the operating condition recommended by manufacturers. To use compost in the agricultural field, after treating food wastes in the fermenting tank for 2~3 days, it needs to compost additionally in the staic pile under the suitable fermenting condition over 6 weeks.

Due to separate discharge of food waste, large incinerating facilities for municipal waste show the phase change that combustible contents have been increasing while the concentrations of water have been decreasing when wastes are brought in. This phase change of wastes leads to the increase of exothermic value when wastes are carried in, which causes the problems to make the durability of incinerating facilities weak and lower the capacities of them. In accordance with these problems, this study was carried out to present effective plans to operate incinerating facilities as the quantities of municipal wastes of Incheon have been gradually increasing. We examined the problems caused by the phase change of municipal waste in Incheon and managing plans to control the amounts of heat output when intermixed incineration of food waste is conducted. It is concluded that we could carry out the optimized operation of incinerating facilities as well as produce economic effect to reduce processing costs when we conduct the intermixed incineration of food waste and municipal waste, in the trend that the amounts of heat output generated by wastes are gradually increasing. This is because this operation of intermixing incineration contributes to reducing the amount of exothermic heat.

This study was performed to evaluate characteristics of illegally dumped wastes in the riversides of Nakdong river found during dredging of Nakdong river. Precise classification of the wastes found in the riversides is essential to proper treatment of the wastes. We tried to determine whether these wastes contained toxic compounds and stabilized. Wastes were found at 27 sampling points out of 159 segments investigated and these wastes were not classified as toxic wastes. In addition, clay soils were found at 60 sampling points, and these soils were not classified as wastes. Thus, these soils are thought to be recycled as construction materials. Some samples were not stabilized, which means biodegradation was still progressed in these areas.

To produce the substitute for farmland were mixed concrete waste and organic wastes. To estirnate the application of the mixture for farmland components in the solid and the leachate from the mixture were analyzed according to the ordinance of the Waste Society in Germany. Plants were cultivated in the mixture and its harvests were measured. The results showed that the mixture from waste may be used for the reclamation of landfill and landscaping according to circumstances, and the best mixture was from 85% of concrete waste, 10% of sewage sludge and 5% of paper mill sludge.

Modern society has been experiencing by population growth and urbanization that bring, a change of eating habits which has occurred a various types of waste in a large amount. Even though these wastes are required an immediate treatment with difficulties unsanitary handling and existing waste treatment method are by incineration, fermentation, drying and etc. however a bad smell occurs after the treatment that need's a lot of energy in processing organic wastes with high moisture contents and wasteful and inefficient problem. The strength assessment of the organic waste agitating vessel is required in terms of safety due to the differences of loading on the shaft that was treated by agitating the mixture of food waste. The damage of agitating axis is depended on steam pressure, temperature condition and the force moment that exerted by the food waste. Thus the strength assessment and stability evaluation are very important, especially to handle a hard waste. In this study the rotation capacity of agitation is about 5 tons considering general structural rolled steel pressure vessel strength and steam pressure. The purpose is to estimate the safety and strength evaluation for a agitator axis and impellers according to the rotating angle of the axis under the condition of the 3.2 ton capacity reactor.

Each kinds of the leather process wastes which is occurred in the leather making process is almost more than 50% on the basis of the raw hide. The emitted process wastes are important oil and fats and protein resources because they are composed of animal oil and fats and fibrous protein. But most of them are incinerate or filled up simply as the industrial wastes without applying to recycling into the other use. Thus the problems of environmental pollution are becoming more critical and the processing cost of the leather process wastes (40,000~60,000 won) is a heavy burden on the production cost. Because the organic wastes such as fleshing scrap, pelt scrap are high fetid, its unlawful abandonment without being processed properly causes the occurrence of secondary pollution by an offensive odor and leakage of waste water. Thus we made the re-resource experiments in order to resolve this problems. The principal contents of this study are to process the collected leather waste scrape through separate the oil and fat ingredients with various propert by processing various chemicals and enzymes on the next effector. The re-resource application of separated oil and fat ingredients produced chemical for leather applicable to manufacturing process of leather through chemical transformation process(sulphation reaction, sulphitation reaction etc.) of oil and fats.

This study is to predict the biogas production and the content analysis of the organic wastes of three islands located in the City of I. Content analysis for a total of six sections, including pH, BOD, COD, three components (Moisture, Ash, Combustibles)was conducted on the specimens of organic wastes from the representative spots of three islands. From the analysis result of organic waste, it is confirmed that more than $1,750,000m^3$ of methane gas per year will be generated through the calculation of the total methane generation for the COD value. Therefore, if the incineration facility for the organic waste in island region is converted into a biogas production facilities which is non-incineration facility, it seems that the organic waste of efficient utilization is available.

This study performed to extract operation factors of major organic wastes, which were food wastes and waste activated sludge generated in industries in order to use them as a substrate for bio-H2 production. According to the results of experimental analysis for hydrogen production capacity by various organic concentrations, the hydrogen production yield was the highest at 80 g/L, and the efficiency was improved by the pretreatment of waste activated sludge (acid treatment, alkali treatment). Hydrogen production efficiency was improved by mixing food wastes and waste activated sludge if waste activated sludge was below than 30%, however, it was decreased when it was more than 50%. The impacts of heavy metals on the hydrogen production shows that the inhibition level depends on the concentration of Cr, Zn, and Cu, Fe was able to enhance the hydrogen production.
