The paper reviews various aspects of recycling of used PET bottles. First, it lists the kinds of PET bottles and the amounts used in Korea. It also reviews the recychng pallcics and culrent recycling status of various countncs such as the USA, Tawan. Japm and Karca. A brief flowsheel of recycling process for PET bottles is prescntzd. Problzms assodated with recychng thesc bottlcs arc discussed and various impravements rcqu~red in make such a recycling process better are also suggested and d~scussed.

In order to investigate the influence of recycling, a laboratory method simulating the papermaking process was used for assessing the effects of recycling on fiber properties. Sw-BKP, Hw-BKP and BGP were disintegrated and beaten to about 42$^{\circ}$SR-44$^{\circ}$SR by a valley beater. After beating, these pulps were dewatered by centrifuge and dried at 90$^{\circ}C$ for 72hrs. This recycling process(sequence of wetting, defiberating, dewatering and drying) was repeated seven times. Physical, mechanical and optical properties of recycled pulps were evaluated by TAPPI Standards. Morphological changes occurred through recycling process was observed by SEM. Sheet density decreased with recycling. The largest drop in density occurred during the first recycling. The porosity values decreased with recycling. Mechanical properties such as tensile, burst strength and folding endurance, decreased with recycling. However tear strength of Sw-BKP and mixtured pulp increased at the first recycling. Optical properties such as brightness, opacity and light scattering coefficient, increased with recycling. However, brightness of mixtured pulp gradually decreased with recycling. Fibrillated outer layer of the fiber was gradually removed from the surface with recycling. As a result of recycling, crinkles on the fiber surface were found to be more folded.

The lithium-ion battery recycling process has been classified into direct recycling, hydrometallurgical process, and pyrometallurgical process. The commercial process based on the hydrometallurgical process produces black mass through pretreatment processes consisting of dismantling, crushing and grinding, heat treatment, and beneficiation, and then each metal is recovered by hydrometallurgical processes. Since all lithium-ion battery recycling processes under development conducts hydrometallurgical processes such as leaching, after the pretreatment process, to produce precursor raw materials, this article suggests a classification method according to the pretreatment method of the recycling process. The processes contain sulfation roasting, carbothermic reduction roasting, and alloy manufacturing, and the economic feasibility of the lithium-ion battery recycling process can be enhanced using unused by-products in the pretreatment process.

The new recycling technology for aged aluminum wires in overhead conductor has been carried out. The authors are attempting to develop remanufacturing method for them for more effective way of recycling in stead of its conventional remelting process. The new recycling technology for aged aluminum wire in overhead conductor was composed of four steps in different develop process, destranding process for conductor, surface cleaning process, welding process and drawing process for aluminum wire. This paper investigates the properties during recycle process of aged aluminum wire. The results of microscopic analysis and mechanical properties were discussed to underscore recycling aluminum wire. Various graphs are presented accompanied by discussion about their relevance on the process. In conclusion, we confirmed the possibility of remanufacturing technique by using new process.

The objective of this article is to summarize the commercial lithium ion battery (LIB) recycling processes in Korea and to suggest new direction for LIB recycling. A representative LIB recycler, SungEel Hitech Co. has successfully operated the LIB recycling process for over 10 years, and new recycling processes were recently proposed or developed by many recycling companies and battery manufacturers. In the new recycling processes, lithium is recovered before nickel and cobalt due to the rapid rise in lithium prices, and metal sulfate solution as final product of recycling process can be supplied to manufacturers. The main problem that the new recycling process will face is impurities, which will mainly come from end-of-life electric vehicles or new additives in LIB, although the conventional processes must be improved for mass processing.

In order to review the technological modulus of the recycling of urban mine resources and non-ferrous smelting process in Korea, key point of recycling process, physical separation, non-ferrous smelting process, unit operation for the recycling technology, recycling process of LS-Nikko Copper and Korea Zinc were studied. Finally, metal recycling processes of the typical non-ferrous smelters in Japan such sa DOWA Holdings and JX Holdings were compared with those of LS-Nikko Copper and Korea Zinc.

Commercially operating EAF dust recycling processes were investigated by means of unit process analysis. Over 80 % of EAF recycling processes are Waelz kiln process adapted a rotary kiln as a main reactor. There are differences among these pyrometallurgical processes by plant location and timely important things such as environmental regulations. In this paper, the characteristics of each plants are analysed with the point of unit process.

It is desirable to reduce the amounts of fresh water and reuse the recycled water in papermaking process. In an attempt to improve the efficiency of recycling water refining treatment and to enhance the productivity of OCC recycling mill, up flow anaerobic sludge blanket(UASB) reactor was developed and introduced to Korea recently. In order to maximize the operating efficiency and minimize the adverse side effects it is imperative to estimate and evaluate the total effects of new system, UASB on the whole OCC recycling process. This study was carried out with a view to investigate the effects of the high temperature and alkalinity of process water on the quality ad productivity of testliner of OCC recycling mill which is equipped with UASB reactor and almost closed. Another object of this study was searching for the best available use of UASB treated process water. The results were as follows; Reuse of UASB treated water characterized with high temp and alkalinity was useful to improve the strength and drainage properties of recycled OCC owing to its good points of promoting OCC disintegration and reducing the calcium hardness of process water. However, it might not be avoidable to induce the increase of dissolved solids in process water in accordance with direct introducing of UASB treated water into the former stage of OCC stock preparation. So it would be advisable to adopt the UASB treated water in the stage of clean, screened OCC stock.

For process improvement and cutting down on expenses in solar cell industry, it is necessary to improve recycling process of wafer manufacturing. In this research, a study is introduced to develop classifier which is for recycling of abrasive. First of all, recycling process of wafer manufacturing is analyzed. And then, 3 steps of experiments such as oil removal, impurities removal and classification were executed. For the classification of slurry, a classifier is designed and manufactured. From experiments, it is verified that ultra sound vibration and flux are very important factors for classification. By experiencing the recycling processes and making devices, the technique can be initiated industry if needed such as decreasing waste and cutting down on expenses.

Most industrial products nowadays have been manufactured by being made up of many parts what these are made from various kinds of materials. These parts and goods should be disassembled simply and classified easily by material or kinds of parts for the recycling. But it is not so easy to know how to take disassembly ways and those orders must be known and also analyzed the assembled points and directions of the every part. This research presents an design process for recycling that it will be considering whole design process for recycling about easiness of disassembling units as the prior condition to reuse the parts and used material, and to reduce waste parts.
