Background and objective: While response measures to particulate matters in rural areas are limited due to poor inventory record keeping in the agricultural sector, it is necessary to control agricultural waste vinyl and the emission of precursors released from open burning and the secondary generation of particulate matters. Currently, the open burning emission calculation method uses the definition prescribed in CAPSS by the National Institute of Environmental Research. Methods: This study presented an open burning emission calculation formula for agricultural waste vinyl, which is included as agricultural waste. As for activity data, the open burning ratio of agricultural waste vinyl, and the annual incineration volume provided in the Status Survey by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs were applied. The emission factor was generated through incineration tests on three agricultural plastic film samples collected by the Korea Environment Corporation. Results: Among precursors, SOx and NOx were selected and their emission features were monitored with incineration experiment infrastructure based on the EPA 5G method. The highest emission concentration by agricultural waste type was concentrated in the first and second quarters. As for emission factor of SO₂, it was calculated at 98.25 g/kg for mulching-use LDPE, 52.31 g/kg for greenhouse-use LDPE, and 14.40 g/kg for HDPE. As for NOx, it was calculated at 18.21 g/kg for mulching-use LDPE, 16.49 g/kg for greenhouse-use LDPE, and 10.67 g/kg for HDPE. Conclusion: This test confirmed the incineration features of PE-based plastics, ascertained the SOx emission factor that had not been included in open burning in the past, and established that low NOx emission concentration is interfered by soil mixed with livestock excretions. The findings from this study are expected to contribute to improving the system for controlling air pollutants in rural environments.

Environmental damage caused by marine plastic debris occurs and has become a major contributor to marine pollution. This study analyzed the current state of marine plastic debris pollution and proposed essential strategies to reduce damage. To assess the current state of pollution arising from marine plastic debris, this study investigated the properties of plastic debris, reviewed case studies of ecological impacts, and examined the inflow and distribution of marine plastic debris. The results of this study indicate that the major deleterious effects of marine plastics are entanglement and ingestion. In addition, the amount of plastic waste entering the sea was estimated to be 230 Mt in 2015 and may increase to 554 Mt in 2050. In this study, three key strategies were proposed to reduce damage and preserve the ecosystem, including: 1) removing plastic debris in the marine environment, 2) limiting the release of plastic debris to the marine environment, and 3) preventing damage to humans and marine life from plastic debris. To minimize the environmental damage caused by marine plastic debris, the proposed response strategies should be implemented in parallel.

본 연구는 생활폐기물 처리에서 매립되는 폐기물량을 줄이고 재활용비율을 늘리기 위하여 고안된 풍력선별기 (공기의 흐르는 방향을 이용하여 공기 중에서 비중분리를 수행하는 방법)에 대하여 ANSYS사의 CFX Program을 이용한 수치 해석적 방법을 통해 풍력선별기의 모형을 설계 및 제작하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 풍력에 따른 폐기물의 분리 효율을 고찰하였다. 흡입장치에서 비닐봉지 1000mL를 흡입하도록 설계할 때 입구 풍속은 0.9 m/sec 이상에서 100%효율을 얻을 수 있었고 1.6 m/sec 이상에서 의 플라스틱병 500mL 와 플라스틱병 1500mL의 혼합 폐기물 효율의 100 % 알루미늄 250mL 선별 효율은 2.3 m/sec 이상에서 100% 마지막으로 알루미늄 250mL를 5mm 두께 압축 선별 효율은 2.4 m/sec 이상에서 90% 임을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 마찰하전형정전선별법을 적용하여 EVA(ethylene vinyl acetate)와 PET(polyethylene terephthalate) 혼합 폐플라스틱의 재활용을 위한 재질분리 연구를 수행하였다. 하전물질 선정을 위한 하전특성 연구결과, PP(polypropylene)재질이 EV4와 PET 폐플라스틱의 재질분리에 가장 효과적인 하전물질로 확인되어, PP재질의 pipe-type 하전장치를 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 하전장치를 이용한 재질분리 실험결과, 최적 실험조건에서 PET의 품위와 회수율이 각각 98.7%와 89.7%인 결과를 얻었다.

Most of the waste plastics are incinerated and landfilled now, leading to much environmental problems. The technology of injection into the blast furnace was developed as a useful recycling method of waste plastics, and applied to the actual operation in several ironmaking companies. We carried out the test operation to inject continuously the two kinds of waste plastics through four tuyeres of the Foundry blast furnace in POSCO by 130 ton of total amount. From this test operation, we analyzed the coke replacement ratio, the permeability, the heat load and other changes of furnace conditions with the injection of waste plastics into the blast furnace. Some trials based upon the theoretical approaches were applied to examine the efficiencies of blast furnace.

A 5 ton/day pilot scale two-phase anaerobic digester was constructed and tasted to treat Korean food wastes in Anyang city. The process was developed based on 3 years of lab-scale experimental results on am optimim treatment method for the recovery of biogas and humus. Problems related to food waste are ever Increasing quantity among municipal solid wastes(MSW) and high moisture and salt contents. Thus our food waste produces large amounts of leachate and bed odor in landfill sites which are being exhausted. The easily degradable presorted food waste was efficiently treated in the two-phase anaerobic digestion process. The waste contained in plastic bags was shredded and then screened for the removal of inert material such as fabrics and plastics, and subsequently put into the two-stage reactors. Heavy and light inerts such as bones, shells, spoons and plastic pieces were again removed by gravity differences. The residual organic component was effectively hydrolyzed and acidified in the first reactor with 5 days space time at pH of about 6.5. The second, methanization reactor part of which is filled with anaerobic fillters, converted the acids into methane with pH between 7.4 to 7.8. The space time for the second reactor was 15 days. The effluent from the second reactor was recycled to the first reactor to provide alkalinities. The process showed stable steady state operation with the maximum organic rate of 7.9 $kgVS/m^3day$ and the volatile solid reduction efficiency of about 70%. The total of 3.6 tons presorted MSW containing 2.9 tons of food organic was treated to produce about $230m^3$ of biogas with 70% of methane and 80kg humus. This process is extended to full scale treating 15 tons of food waste a day in Euiwang city and the produced biogas is utilized for the heating/cooling of adjacent buildings.

방사선량 측정을 위하여 섬광체와 광섬유를 이용한 원격 측정용 센서를 개발하였다. 유리 광섬유와 상용화된 플라스틱섬광체로 원거리 측정 가능성을 시험하였고, 에폭시 수지로 자체 개발한 섬광검출소재로 방사선 측정센서로써의 성능을 평가하였다. 에폭시 수지와 유기섬광물질의 배합별 물질 특성을 측정하여 최적의 조건을 도출하였다. 광섬유와 섬광체를 연결할 때, 불완전한 접속으로 인한 광 손실을 줄이기 위하여 섬광검출소재 제조 과정 중 소재내로 광섬유를 삽입하여 일체형으로 센서를 제조하였다. 일체형 센서는 유리광섬유의 단점을 보완하여 플라스틱 광섬유를 적용하였으며, 방사선 반응 체적별 검출효율을 평가하기 위하여 검출소재 밑단으로부터 일정 거리의 광섬유를 배치하여 측정하였다. 개발한 방사선 검출용 센서는 오염도 원거리 측정뿐만 아니라 측정센서로써의 적용도 가능할 것으로 예상된다.
