Cattle feedlot manure could be used effectively as the solid fuel for heating of agricultural facilities. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate the thermal and physicochemical characteristics of solid fuel extruded with cattle feedlot manure. Calorific values of the solid fuel extruded with cattle feedlot manure, which was dried to the moisture contents of 0.0% (w.b) and 35.0% (w.b,) were 14,906 kJ/kg and 11,797 kJ/kg, respectively. Calorific value of extruded solid fuel was linearly decreased with the increase of moisture content. The first, second, and third reaction point during thermal pyrolysis of solid fuels extruded with cattle feedlot manure was investigated as $108.1^{\circ}C$, $312.2^{\circ}C$, and $459.4^{\circ}C$, respectively. The maximum reaction point was presented at the temperature of $312.2^{\circ}C$. Weight loss of extruded cattle feedlot manure during thermal pyrolysis until $600^{\circ}C$ was reached to about 60%. Volume decrease of initial extruded cattle feedlot manure was 61% during drying for the use as solid fuel. Maximum strength of extruded cattle feedlot manure, which was dried as the moisture content of 10% (w.b.) was 41,9150 N/$m^2$. Ignition gas analysis of extruded cattle feedlot manure presented that it has small amount of $NO_x$ and $SO_x$. It was shown that dried cattle feedlot manure had main components of C and O including small amount of Mg, Si, and Ca.

본 연구는 우리나라에 설치된 공공자원화시설 중에서 일처리용량이 0.5톤 이상인 자원화시설 중 가장 많은 분포를 보이는 퇴비화시설을 중심으로 설치 및 운영상황에 대하여 정밀진단하고 개선방안을 도출하기 위하여 수행되었다. 음식물쓰레기의 반입량을 월평균 및 년 평균값으로 조사한 결과, 월 평균값이 1,101.7톤/일, 년평균값이 930.9톤/일으로 평균계획용량 1,270.9톤/일에 상당량 미달되는 것으로 나타났다. 퇴비화시설의 입지조건도 공장등록이 불가능한 지역에 위치하여 허가를 득하지 못한 경우가 많았다. 퇴비화시설의 가동정지되는 주된 고장원인 기기는 발효시설과 파쇄시설로 나타났으며, 금속류 이물질유입은 파쇄시설의 고장이 주된 원인으로서 고장 및 부식에 대비한 설계가 요구된다. 초기함수율은 50~60%의 수분함량을 지키고 있는 것을 확인 되었으나, 톱밥, 음식물쓰레기, 반송퇴비가 적정하게 혼합되어 초기조건을 만족시킬 필요성이 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 발효시설의 체류시간은 부숙시설 15일, 후부숙조는 21일로서 최소기준이 설정되어 있으나, 일부 시설이 조건을 만족시키지 못하고 있는 것으로부터 시설의 종류에 따라서는 분해에 더 많은 시간이 소요됨으로 시설의 특징을 초기에 잘 파악하여 체류시간을 결정할 필요성이 있다. 퇴비화에 있어서 미생물 산화열에 의하여 발효조가 운영되어 경제성이 확보되어야 하나, 조사에 응한 25개소 중에서 14개소가 발효조에 어떠한 형태이던지 가온을 하고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 이들 가온 시설은 역으로 미생물의 성장을 억제하여 퇴비화반응을 저해될 수 있는 것으로부터, 퇴비화에 있어서 미생물산화열을 이용하여 가능한 수분을 증발시키는 것을 기본으로 설계되어야 한다. 퇴비의 생산량을 발효조에 투입되는 음식물쓰레기와 부재료의 1일 평균 투입량이 22.8톤이었으며 퇴비로 생산된 량은 7.3톤/일로서 감량율이 68%를 보였다. 생산된 퇴비의 성상을 색상, 분해열의 잔류여부, 냄새 등으로 양질의 여부를 판단한 결과, 퇴비화 시설의 50% 정도는 퇴비화공정이 적정 설치, 운영이 되지 못했다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 생산된 퇴비가 토양에 건전한 형태로 제조되어야 할 것이다.

We analyzed succession of the bacterial communities during composting of animal manure in three individual facilities. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) targeting for the bacterial 16S rRNA gene were used to clarify the changes of bacterial community throughout each composting process. Our study revealed that the bacterial community structures differed during the composting process. The bacterial community in composting of facility A showed little change throughout the process. In the compost sample from facility B, its community had a small shift as the temperature increased. In compost from facility C, the temperature dynamically changed; it was shown that various bacterial communities appeared and disappeared as follows: in the initial phase, the members of phylum Bacteroidetes dominated; in the thermophilic phase, some bacteria belonging to phylum Firmicutes increased; towards the end, the community structure consisted of three phyla, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria. This study provides some information about the bacterial community actually present in field-scale composting with animal manure.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify pathogenic microorganisms in the oral cavity of Alzheimer's dementia patients and recognize the necessity and importance of oral prevention management. Methods: The participants comprised 40 dementia patients aged 60 years or older and general patients who were using nursing care facilities in Gwangju from February to July 2017. Samples were collected with Eazyperio products for oral pathogenic microbial testing. Eighteen types of bacteria could be detected by analyzing Multiplex-Quantity Real Time polymerase chain reaction at a genetic testing agency. Results: The study comprised more women than men. Most participants were in their 80s. Statistically significant differences were observed in some oral pathogenic microorganisms. Conclusions: Pathogenic microorganisms could more easily proliferate in the oral cavities of Alzheimer's dementia patients than they could among general elderly participants due to a lack of awareness of oral hygiene and prevention management. To improve this, it is considered necessary to deploy oral health care professionals.

In the domestic industrial sector, greenhouse gases emitted from the cement industry account for about 10%, with most of them generated during the cement clinker calcination process. During the calcination process, 57% of carbon dioxide is emitted from the decarbonation reaction of limestone, 30% from fuel consumption, and 13% from electricity usage. In response to these issues, the cement industry is making efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by developing technologies for raw material substitution and conversion, improving process efficiency by utilizing low-carbon alternative heat sources, developing CO₂ capture and utilization technologies, and recycling waste materials. In addition, due to the limitations in purchasing and storing industrial byproducts generated from industrial facilities, many studies are underway regarding the recycling of construction waste. Therefore, this study analyzes the manufacture of calcium silicate cement (CSC), which can store carbon dioxide as carbonate minerals in industrial facilities, and aims to contribute to the development of environmentally friendly regenerated cement using construction waste.

퇴비화 시설은 공기량과 수분 조절만으로 운전되기 때문에 2개의 운전인자의 영향을 분석하기 위하여 수분을 첨가하는 경우와 첨가하지 않는 경우에 대하여 공기량을 변화시켜 모델링하였다. 또한 최적의 퇴비화 환경이 조성될지라도 발열량 및 분해속도에 따라 퇴비화 시설의 운전온도를 달리하여야 하므로, 고속분해 단계와 완속분해 단계의 운전온도를 변화시켜 모델링함으로써 퇴비화 공정에 대한 영향을 분석하였다. 한편 모델은 미국 Roger T. Haug Inc 에서 개발한 "The Library of Compost Engineering Software" 를 사용하였다. 결과적으로 적정 함수율의 퇴비화 시설 운전이 공기량 변화에 대하여 운전온도의 변화가 민감하며, 수분이 부족한 경우에 비하여 오히려 적은 공기량으로 높은 반응율을 달성하게 된다. 완속분해 단계의 효과적인 운전이 전 공정의 분해율을 높일 수 있으므로 완속분해 물질의 분해에 촛점을 맞추어 단계별 운전온도를 설정하여야 함을 알 수 있었다.

The Ministry of Environment established a plan for advancement of livestock manure management in July 2011 and finalized the "Comprehensive Measures for Advancement of Livestock Manure Management" in May 2012 complementing and strengthening the plan. In this process, it was necessary to investigate the status of discharge of livestock manure and its environmental impact, for example on rivers, groundwater, arable outflow water and soil. We investigated types of livestock husbandry, discharge of livestock manure, and production and use of organic fertilizers and presented the improvement measures of livestock manure management and organic fertilizer use. First, it is necessary to come up with measures to calculate appropriate density and numbers of livestock animals and prevent overcrowded breeding. Second, as many of the private livestock manure treatment facilities are out-dated and their long-term aerated reaction tanks are not regularly managed, it is necessary to find ways to improve those facilities through inspection and diagnosis. In addition, since existing public treatment facilities are designed to add clean water to belt filter press, additional water is needed. Therefore, it is necessary to improve belt filter press in order to decrease the extra water. Finally, although large-scale organic fertilizer plants and resources recycling centers produce good organic (liquid) fertilizers with proper components, it is necessary to establish standards for maturity of liquid fertilizers in order to facilitate efforts to turn livestock manure into resources.

Air pollution problems due to the emission of pollutants from the various industrial facilities become serious issues and lots of air pollution control processes have been developed. To remove the SO$_2$ and NOx emitted from the solid waste incinerator and coal fired power plants, we studied the Ca-based sorbent which was prepared by waste clam and limestone. The objectives of this study were to develop a clam-based sorbent for removal of SO$_2$ and NOx, and to investigate the physicochemical properties of the waste clam sorbent. In order to determine acid gas removal capacity of sorbent, the batch study on SO$_2$ and NOx removal was performed with the Ca-based sorbent in the fixed bed reactor. Results of the research revealed that clam-based sorbent can be used as the iron-manufacturing industry and chemical adsorbents for the removal of acid gases because the lime content of the waste calm was more than 53.92%. From physicochemical analysis and gas reaction experiments, it could be concluded that clam is good sorbent for the removal of SO$_2$ and NOx in waste incinerator and flue gas desulfurization processes.
