Objectives: This study was performed to evaluate the musculoskeletal symptoms of workers treating electronics industry waste at a recycling sorting plant by case survey. Methods: The musculoskeletal symptoms were investigated by conducting a survey targeting workers treating waste from the electronics industry. Through utilizing the ergonomic evaluation techniques such as RULA, REBA, and OWAS, the four tasks were divided into three detailed processes (sorting, movement, loading) and the work of workers was evaluated for a total of 12 processes. Results: As a result of the questionnaire survey on musculoskeletal symptom, 40% of workers answered that they had musculoskeletal disease symptoms, and the symptom sites were hands(30%), legs(20%), arms(10%), and shoulders(5%). Based on the results obtained from analysis through ergonomic evaluation techniques such as RULA, REBA, and OWAS, 75% of them were found to need improvement or follow-up immediately or immediately after the second stage or higher. As compared to REBA and OWAS, the RULA, which evaluates the upper limb in detail, has a higher score, and in the process of sorting and loading relatively light wastes such as paper and plastic, the waist is raised by repeating the work of bowing and stretching. Conclusions: The heavy wastes such as 200L drums were evaluated as having a low load on the elbows and wrists because body action was relatively lower than moving paper and plastic. In addition, the overall load score was evaluated lower in the moving work compared to the sorting or loading process.

음식물류 폐기물 자원화과정에서 발생하는 폐수는 BOD 20,000~150,000mg/L이며, 매립금지로 적정수준까지 처리되어야 한다. 그러나 기존의 폐수처리시설에 의해서는 10일 이하로 처리하기가 불가능하다. (주)에코데이는 높은 산소전달효율, 높은 미생물(MLVSS) 유지와 유기물 농도 모두가 상향류의 PFR흐름을 갖는 ER-1 반응기를 이용하여 2~4일 이내로 처리할 수 있는 기술을 개발하였다. 하루 20톤의 음식물을 퇴비화 하는 H군 음식물 자원화시설에 Pilot plant를 설치하고, 자원화 과정에서 발생하는 고농도폐수(평균 BOD 64,431mg/L)와 저농도폐수(평균 BOD 16,500mg/L)에 대해 6개월간 실험하였다. 저농도폐수의 처리를 위해서 ER-1(HRT 2.5d)과 후단에 고도처리공정을 적용하였으며, 이때 전체공정에서 제거되는 유기물의 대부분이 ER-1을 통해 제거되었다. 저농도폐수 Pilot plant의 처리효율은 BOD 99%, COD 98%, SS 99%, T-N 97%, T-P 96%이다. 고농도 폐수 처리공정은 ER-1을 직렬로 배치하여 2단계 ER-1(1차 HRT 2.5d, 2차 HRT 1.5d) 후 고액분리를 통해 하수연계(BOD 2,000mg/L 이하)로 계획하였다. Pilot 실험결과 고농도 폐수에 대해서도 BOD 97%, COD 84%, SS 98%, T-N 66%, T-P 95%의 안정적인 처리효율을 얻을 수 있었다. 고농도 폐수처리시에 생물반응기의 냉각시설 없이 고온($50^{\circ}C$)으로 운전되었으나, 온도 조절 부분을 개선한다면 더 높은 효율을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The recycling rate of recovered paper in Korea is the highest in the world, 92%, but remanufacturing yield is low due to the extremely poor quality of the paper. The poor quality, in turn, influences to the reject amount in deinking process. To increase the yield of old newspaper recycling process, hydrophobic degree of inorganic pigments of deinking stock must be reduced. To determine the hydrophobicity, Pitch Potential Deposit Tester (PDT) was newly designed and applied with respect to the SB latex property of various quality used in Korea; its hydrophobic degree according to Tg, gel content, charge and particle size of latex and optimum designing condition of SB latex. And below are the conclusions: 1. The reason of excessive reject from old newspaper deinking process for total amount of printed ink is loss of inorganic pigments. When lipase, a biochemical catalyst, was applied with the purpose of preventing inorganic pigments loss about more than 70% of total reject weight and promoting hydration of pulp for deinking, deinking process yield of pre flotation secondary stage increased remarkably without any changes of deinking efficiency. 2. Lipase improved deinking stock by cutting ester linkage on surface of hydrophobic materials to promote its hydration. From this, it reached the conclusion that hydration degree of stock exercises significant effect on flotation deinking process yield. 3. Inorganic alkali promotes hydration of deinking stock. But there have been needs for more fundamental measures other than inorganic alkali of promoting hydration for yield improvement. For this, this study intended to find out reasons of chemical properties change on surface of hydrophobic material by change of pH. 4. Pitch Deposit Test (PDT) was performed for understanding principle of why surface of coating flake from OMG is hydrophobic and why it becomes hydrophilic when pH of stock is alkaline. As a result of this test, it is determined that swelling property by change of pH of latex film, which were used as coating adhesive is the reason for hydrophobic change. 5. Hydrophilicity of coating flake increased with hydrophilic pigments. And as more of SB Latex adhesive was used and higher of calcium hardness of stock became, its hydrophilicity decreased. SB Latex adhesive film is reformed by mechanical friction. For having hydrophilicity under neutral pH, strong bruising action such as kneading is required. 6. Because swelling of adhesive film decreases as Tg of SB latex gets lower and mean diameter gets smaller, it shows hydrophobicity under neutral pH. This lowers hydrophilicity of coating flake, which leads to easy elimination with flotation reject on DIP process. Therefore, for improving future flotation yield, it is necessary to develop to use eco-friendly clean SB latex by raising Tg and increasing mean diameter for recycling, and as a result, to reduce excessive loss of coating flake as a reject from deinking process.

전 세계적으로 매년 증가하는 발전회의 매립을 위한 부지는 현저히 부족한 실정이며, 이를 재활용 하는 방안에 관한 연구는 지금까지 활발히 진행 중이다. 또한, 휴 폐광산의 갱구, 폐석 더미, 지하공동에서 발생하는 다양한 광해는 심각한 인명피해 및 환경오염을 일으킨다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 석탄, 금속, 석회석 광산에서 발생하는 AMD (Acid Mine Drainage), 지반침하 등의 광해방지에서 발전회의 활용 가능성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 발전회는 그 물리화학적인 특성에 따라 AMD 중화, 노천광산에서의 차폐재, 지하광산의 채움재 및 토양 개량제로써 활용할 수 있으며, 미국, 호주, 일본, 캐나다 등의 국외에서는 관련 지침을 마련하여 현장 적용사례가 충분히 확보된 상태이다. 하지만 국내의 경우 현장 적용을 위한 몇몇 연구들은 수행돼 왔지만, 현재 발전회를 사업장폐기물로 분류하고 있기 때문에 현장 적용사례가 미흡하며, 이와 관련된 연구도 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 국내에서도 국외의 관련 선행 적용사례들을 참고하여 광해방지사업에서 발전회의 활용을 위한 구체적인 기준 및 관리체계가 필요할 것이다.

석탄재는 석탄 연소 시 발생하는 것으로 포집 방법에 따라 비산재와 바닥재로 나눌 수 있다. 비산재와 바닥재는 특성에 따라 다양한 용도로 재활용이 가능하다. 호주는 세계에서 네 번째로 석탄을 생산하는 국가이며 석탄재를 시멘트, 콘크리트, 광산 채움재, 농업용 토양 개량제 등으로 활용하고 있다. 비산재는 시멘트, 콘크리트용 보충제로 사용하면 시멘트의 강도와 콘크리트의 내구성을 향상시킬 수 있다. 광산 채움재로 석탄재를 활용하면 지반을 안정화시킬 수 있으며 석탄재의 다량 처리가 가능하다. 석탄재는 주로 알카리성이므로 광산 채움재로 사용 시 산성광산배수를 중화시킬 수 있다. 또한, 토양 개량제로 사용하면 산도 개선 효과를 얻을 수 있으며 토양의 물리적 특성 개선이나 식물에 필요한 원소를 공급할 수 있다. 호주 비산재는 식물 독성에 영향을 미치는 미량 원소 함량이 낮으며, 방사성 원소 함량도 토양 배경 농도 범위 내에 존재하기 때문에 재활용 가능성은 더 확대될 것이다. 석탄재의 특성은 연소에 사용한 석탄의 특성과 관련이 있으며 한국은 호주에서 석탄을 수입하기 때문에 한국의 석탄재도 다양한 용도로 재활용이 가능할 것이다.

Dumping of waste sludge to ocean will be prohibited in Jananuary, 2012. Thus, various methods of sludge recycling are intensively studied. To present new way of sewage sludge recycling method, feasibility of making porous biological support media was investigated. Porous biological support media was made of sludge cake from sewage treatment plant and loess. They were mixed in varying ratio and burnt in high temperature to ensure sufficient mechanical strength. It was evaluated that about 67% of sewage sludge were ignitible. The ignitible portion play an important role in making pore in biomedia during ignition process. It was evaluated that optimum mixing ratio of loess to sludge cake was 25% in respect of compressive strength. In results of observation using scanning electron microscope (SEM), inner structure of biomedia become simple when the contents of loess are increased.

Options available for utilization of animal wastes include sources of plant nutrients, feed ingredients for farm animals, substrate for methane generation, and substrate for microbial and insect protein synthesis. The wastes have the most economic value for use as animal feed. Performance of animals fed diets containing animal wastes is similar to that of animals fed conventional diets. Processing of animal wastes to be used as animal feed is necessary for destruction of pathogens, improvement of handling and storage characteristics, and maintenance or enhancement of palatability. Feeding of animal waste has not adversely affected the quality and taste of animal products. In the USA copper toxicity has been reported in sheep fed high-copper poultry litter, but this is not a serious problem with cattle. Potential pathogenic microorganisms in animal wastes are destroyed by processing such as heat treatment, ensiling and deep stacking. Incidents of botulism, caused by Clostridium botulinum, have been reported in cattle in some countries, and this problem was caused by the presence of poultry carcasses in litter. This problem has not occurred in the USA. With appropriate withdrawal, heavy metal, pesticide or medicinal drug accumulation in edible tissues of animals fed animal wastes is not a problem. Feeding of animal wastes is regulated by individual states in the USA. The practice is regulated in Canada, also. With good management, animal wastes can be used safely as animal feed.

Recycling issue for the construction wastes is gradually important to future society. Recently, a star screen has been developed to use for this purpose, however some modifications were needed to enhance the separation accuracy. The objective of study is to evaluate and predict separation ability by verifying the effect for the modified shapes of the screen part. Two analysis models of the screen part were established using commercial software ADAMS to simulate the dynamic interaction of waste particles. Results showed that spacer and gear shapes directly affected separation ability. The modified spacer shapes were much higher screening rate with comparison to default shape. Screening ability for the half number of gear type was greater than other types. Therefore, modification of the design of screen part will be required to achieve better separation ability.
