  • Destablization and demulsification is a difficult task for the treatment of waste oil-in-water drilling fluid because of its "three-high" characteristics: emulsification, stabilization and oiliness. At present, China is short for effective treating technology, which restricts cleaner production in oilfield. This paper focused on technical difficulties of waste oil-in-water drilling fluid treatment in JiDong oilfield of China, adopting physical-chemical collaboration demulsification technology to deal with waste oil-in-water drilling fluid. After oil-water-solid three-phase separation, the oil recovery rate is up to 90% and the recycled oil can be reused for preparation of new drilling fluid. Meanwhile, harmless treatment of wastewater and sludge from waste oil-in-water drilling fluid after oil recycling was studied. The results showed that wastewater after treated was clean, contents of chemical oxygen demand and oil decreased from 993 mg/L and 21,800 mg/L to 89 mg/L and 3.6 mg/L respectively, which can meet the requirements of grade one of "The National Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard" (GB8978); The pollutants in the sludge after harmless treatment are decreased below the national standard, which achieved the goal of resource recovery and harmless treatment on waste oil-in-water drilling fluid.

  • In addition to landfilling and incineration, waste minimization and recycling have become priorities in Taiwan's municipal waste management strategies over the past 10 years. Major recycling initiatives being implemented in Taiwan include producer responsibility, "pay-as-you-throw, " and mandatory sorting provisions. Currently, the producer responsibility regime established under the Waste Disposal Act and administered by the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) requires that manufacturers or importers of listed items, including containers, batteries. cars, motorcycles ("scooters"), tires, oil, televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, computers, and printers, pay recycling fees to government recycling funds. EPA then uses the recycling funds to subsidize collection and recycling. The 2001 recycling fund budget totals NT$57 billion (NT$35 = US$l). Under the producer responsibility regime, EPA-designated retailers ("sellers") must accept end-of-life items returned to them by the consumers. At the local level, Taipei City implements a pay-as-you-throw program, whereby citizens pay waste collection and treatment fees through the purchase of special trash bags approved by the Taipei City Government. However. recyclables that are separated by citizens are collected free-of-charge by the City. Taichung City and Kaohsiung City, on the other hand, enforce mandatory sorting schemes, whereby citizens face penalties if they don't separate recyclables from the trash before pick-up. These programs have resulted in a significant reduction in municipal waste. Per capita waste collected per day has dropped from 1.143 kg in 1997 to 0.978 kg in 2000. Targeting a 10% recycling rate for municipal waste in 2001. EPA plans to research and develop new recycling techniques, expand the scope of producer responsibilities, and strengthen existing municipal recyclable collection programs. To this end, among other initiatives, EPA has prepared a draft "Resource Recycling and Reuse Act" that would complement the existing producer responsibility programs by incorporating into the current recycling framework the concept of product life-cycle management.

  • This work is carried out to develop the recovery process of vanadium as vanadium pentoxide and nickel as nickel sulphate from the leaching solution of heavy oil fly ash. First, sodium chlorate solution was added to the leaching solution to oxidize vanadium ions. With adjusting pH of the solution and heating, vanadium ions(V) is hydrated and precipitated as red cake of $V_2O_5$ from the solution. After recovering vanadium, nickel is recovered as ammonium nickel sulfate with crystallization process. From this nickel salt, nickel sulfate which meets the specifications for the electroplating industry can be produced economically. More than 85% of vana-dium and nickel in the fly ash are recovered in this process.

  • Oil sands are sands containing bitumen similar to crude petroleum. Oil sands had not received enough interest because of the high production cost. However, in the current record-high oil price situation, oil sands are considered as new sources for unconventional oil. In this study, patents analysis was performed for the technologies of production of synthetic crude oil from oil sands. The patents covered were open patents applied in Korea, US, Canada, Japan, Europe, and China. The patents were divided into five detailed technologies; mining and in-situ, extraction, upgrading, fuelling, and other technologies. For oil sands technologies, there have been steady patent applications, since the first patent was applied in 1969. The number of patents applied appeared to be affected by the variation of world oil price. The portion of patents applied in US and Canada was about 90% of the overall patents and it means 05 and Canada have led oil sands technologies. Mining and in-situ technologies, and extraction have been developed actively and occupied more than 77% of the overall patents. However, the number of patents applied for mining and in-situ technologies, and extraction has been constant or started to decrease since 2000. The number of patents applied for upgrading technologies increases recently and it shows the development of upgrading technologies is active now.

  • Biomass had been attracted public attention as eco-friendly resource which not increases the greenhouse gas like carbon dioxide. In this study, it had been collected pyrolytic products such as bio-oil, char and pyrolytic gas from various biomass in a fluidized bed reactor which is one of the fast pyrolysis processes. To understand the characteristics of biomass pyrolysis, the variation of products yield and chemical composition was determined with various operating parameters like temperature, gas velocity($U_{0}/U_{mf}$) and bed height(L/D). In the optimum operating conditions, gas yield and water content was the lowest and concentration of guaiacols and syringols were the highest. The maximum yields of bio-oil was from 55% to 58% at $400^{\circ}C$.

  • 중유회는 중유 화력발전소 보일러의 전지집진기에서 생성되는 분진으로 지금까지는 산업폐기물로 폐기되어 왔으나 이의 절대량이 증가하고 환경규제가 엄격하여짐에 따라 그대로 폐기할 수는 없게 되었다. 한편 이중에는 바나듐과 니켈 등의 유가금속이 3-10% 함유되어 있어 자원으로서의 가치가 충분하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 중유회로부터 바나듐과 니켈을 효과적으로 추출, 분리하여 재활용하기 위한 목적으로 바나듐과 오산화바나듐으로 니켈을 황산니켈로 각각 회수하는 방법에 관한 기초연구를 행하였다.
