본 연구는 Mechanical Biological Treatment system(이하 MBT system)에서 선별된 생활폐기물의 에너지회수 가능성을 평가하고자 하였다. 투입 생활폐기물의 성상분석 결과 수도권매립지에 반입되는 폐기물과 성상이 유사하였으며, 함수율은 다소 높은 값을 나타내었다. 도시고형유기성폐기물에 대해 BMP(Biochemical Methane Potential) test를 실시한 결과 60 ~ 80 mL $CH_4/g$-VS의 메탄($CH_4$)가스가 발생하여 문헌 등에서 보고된 메탄발생량에 비해 낮은 값을 나타내었는데 비닐플라스틱류의 비중이 높았기 때문으로 추측된다. 수도권매립지에 설치된 MBT system에서 선별된 유기성폐기물을 각 성분별로 BMP Test를 실시한 결과 음식폐기물 및 종이류에서는 각각 193, 102 mL $CH_4/g$-VS 수준의 메탄이 발생하였으나 비닐, 고무에서는 전혀 발생하지 않았고, 선별이 어려운 others에서는 매우 낮은 30 mL $CH_4/g$-VS 수준의 메탄이 발생하였다. 이로 미루어볼 때 유기성폐기물에서 비닐플라스틱, 고무류의 선별이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Anaerobic digestion(AD) is the most promising method for treating and recycling of different organic wastes, such as organic fraction of municipal solid waste, household wastes, animal manure, agro-industrial wastes, industrial organic wastes and sewage sludge. During AD, i.e. organic materials are decomposed by anaerobic forming bacteria and fina1ly converted to excellent fertilizer and biogas which is a mixture of carbon dioxide and methane. AD has been one of the leading technologies that can make a large contribution to produce renewable energy and to reduce $CO_2$ and other green-house gas(GHG) emission, it is becoming a key method for both waste treatment and recovery of a renewable fuel and other valuable co-products. Currently some 80% of the world's overall energy supply of about 400 EJ per year in derived from fossil fuels. Nevertheless roughly 10~15% of this demand is covered by biomass resources, making biomass by far the most important renewable energy source used to date. The representative biofuels produced from the biomass are bioethanol, biodiesel and biogas, and currently biogas plays a smaller than other biofuels but steadily growing role. Traditionally anaerobic digestion applied for different biowaste e.g. sewage sludge, manure, other organic wastes treatment and stabilization, biogas has become a well established energy resource. However, the biowaste are fairly limited in respect to the production and utilization as renewable source, but the plant biomass, the so called "energy crops" are used for more biogas production in EU countries and the investigation on the biomethane potential of different crops and plant materials have been carried out. In Korea, with steadily increasing oil prices and improved environmental regulations, since 2005 anaerobic digestion was again stimulated, especially on the biogasification of different biowastes and agro-industrial biomass including "energy crops". This study have been carried out to investigate anaerobic biodegradability by the biochemical methane potential(BMP) test of animal manures, different forage crops i.e. "energy crops", plant and industrial organic wastes in the condition of thermophilic temperature, The biodegradability of animal manure were 63.2% and 58.2% with $315m^3CH_4/tonVS$ of cattle slurry and $370m^3CH_4/tonVS$ of pig slurry in ultimate methane yields. Those of winter forage crops were the range 75% to 87% with ultimate methane yield of $378m^3CH_4/tonVS$ to $450m^3CH_4/tonVS$ and those of summer forage crops were the range 81% to 85% with ultimate methane yield of $392m^3CH_4/tonVS$ to $415m^3CH_4/tonVS$. The forge crops as "energy crops" could be used as good renewable energy source to increase methane production and to improve biodegradability in co-digestion with animal manure or only energy crop digestion.

Since mine wastes were merely dumped in the mine waste dump, they have produced acid mine drainage (AMD). Therefore, main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of coal combustion products (CCPs) on heavy metal stabilization and detoxification for mine wastes. Total six treatments for incubation test were conducted depending on mixing method (completely mixing and layered). Also, lysimeter experiment was conducted to examine efficiency of polyacrylamide (PAM) on reduction of mine wastes erosion. Result of incubation test showed that concentrations of soluble aluminium (Al) and iron (Fe) in leachate decreased compared to control. The lowest soluble Al and Fe in leachate was observed in 50% mixed treatment (14.2 and $1.03mg\;kg^{-1}$ for Al and Fe respectively) compared to control treatment (253.0 for Al and $52.6mg\;kg^{-1}$ for Fe). The pH of mine wastes (MW) and leachate increased compared to control after mixing with CCPs and ordered as control (MW 6.4, leachate 6.3) < 10% (MW 7.7, leachate 7.1) < 20% (MW 9.0, leachate 7.8) < 30% (MW 9.5, leachate 8.3) < 40% (MW 9.9, leachate 8.5) < 50% (MW 10.5, leachate 8.6). Application of PAM, both in liquid and granular type, dramatically decreased the suspended solid (SS) concentration of CCPs treatments. Reduction of SS loss was ordered as MW70CR30L ($24.4mg\;L^{-1}$) > MW70CR30LPL ($6.7mg\;L^{-1}$) > NT ($3.1mg\;L^{-1}$) > MW70CR30M ($1.6mg\;L^{-1}$) > MW70CR30MPL ($1.1mg\;L^{-1}$) > MW70CR30PGM ($0.7mg\;L^{-1}$) > MW70CR30LPG ($0.5mg\;L^{-1}$) > MW70CR30MPG ($0.4mg\;L^{-1}$). Overall, application of CCPs can be environmental friendly and cost-effective way to remediate coal mine wastes contaminated with heavy metals. In addition, use of PAM could help to prevent the erosion coal mine wastes in mine waste disposal area.

최근, 전기차 증가에 따른 리튬 전지의 사용량 증가로 리튬 가격 증가 및 폐리튬전지 발생량이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 이유로 폐리튬전지 내 리튬 회수에 대한 연구가 진행되고있다. 본 연구에서는 폐전기차 셀분말의 열처리 조건에 따른 선택적 리튬 침출에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. 셀 분말(LiNi_xCo_yMn_zO₂, LiCoO₂)로부터 선택적 리튬 침출을 위해서는 환원을 통한 상변화 및 분리가 필요하다. 폐전기차 셀분말 내 탄소는 고온에서 산소와 반응하여 환원제 역할을 한다. 적정 온도를 알고자 대기/질소 분위기에서 TG-DSC 분석 및 550 ~ 850 ℃ 열처리 후, XRD 분석을 하였다. 열처리 된 분말은 ICP 분석을 위해 D.I water에서 1:10 비율로 침출 후 분석하였다. XRD 분석결과, 700 ℃에서 Li₂CO₃ 피크가 확인되었다. 850 ℃ 열처리 시 Li₂O의 피크가 확인되었는데, 이는 Li₂CO₃가 723 ℃ 이상의 온도에서 Li₂O와 CO₂로 분해되었기 때문이다. 또한 Li₂O와 Al₂O₃와 반응으로 LiAlO₂가 확인되었다. 850 ℃에서 열처리 시 Li 침출율이 낮아졌는데 이는 LiAlO₂가 D.I water에서 침출하지 않기 때문으로 판단된다. 리튬 침출율의 경우 열처리의 조건에 따라 달라지며, 질소 분위기 중 700 ℃로 열처리 시 약 45 %의 리튬침출이 확인되었다. 침출 용액을 고-액분리 후증발농축하여 XRD 분석을 실시한 결과, Li₂CO₃의 피크를 확인하였다.

건조과정에서 시료의 순환과 낙하이동에 따른 건조효과를 평가하기 위하여 음식물류폐기물 8,000kg을 간접건조방식의 건조기에 투입하고 회전스크류 가동시와 미가동시에 대하여 수분함량, 건조율, 평균입자크기 및 입도분포, 증발수분량 및 건조효율을 비교하였다. 음식물류폐기물의 초기 수분함량은 77.1%로서, 회전스크류 가동시에는 가동 후 5시간 만에 수분함량이 14.4%로 낮아진 반면에 미가동시에는 16시간을 가동시켜도 수분함량 35.6%에 머물고 있어 시료의 순환과 낙하이동이 건조효과 상승에 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있다. 건조시작 후 점성구간 도달 이전에는 입자크기가 증가하면서 수분증발률은 최대치를 보인다. 점성구간에서는 입자크기가 최대치를 나타내나 수분증발률은 급감하기 시작하며, 점성구간 이후에는 입자크기와 수분증발률이 동시에 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 자유수 증발량과 각 구간에서의 점성차이에 기인한 것으로 여겨진다. 평균 입자크기는 가동 후 지속적으로 증가하여 점성구간인 수분함량 70%-60% 범위에서 최대치를 보인 후 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으나 평균 입자크기의 변화정도는 회전스크류 가동방식에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 또한 회전스크류 가동시 입도분포는 25.0mm에서 0.25mm까지 폭넓게 분포하는 반면에 미가동시에는 25.0mm에서 3.56mm까지 의 좁은 입도분포와 25.0mm이상의 입자크기에 집중되고 있다. 회전스크류 가동으로 건조효율에 미치는 효과를 회전스크류 미가동시와 비교하면 시간당 증발수분량은 364%, DS(Dry Solid)당 증발수분량은 356%나 증가한 것으로 평가되었다.

Until 1993, Nanji landfill has been the main solid waste treatment facility for Seoul, which is the capital of Korea. Since the landfill has not been properly lined, soil and ground water around the landfill has been contaminated. Due to the proximity, it has been speculated that the water quality of the Han River would have been also influenced by the leachate. In order to illuminate this, HELP model to estimate the quantity of the leachate from Nanji landfill and RMA model to simulate the change of water quality in Han River were applied in this research. The result indicates that the quantity of leachate from Nanji landfill has been overestimated by previous works and it was due to the failure to consider the water storage capacity of the landfill. The effect from Nanji landfill leachate on the water quality, in terms of COD input, proves to be smaller than those from other tributaries and influents to the River and the effect is larger when the flow of the River is reversed due to the tide.

The utilization methods of algae biomass have been studied constantly in whole world. These are $\circled1$the wastewater treatment if waste stabilization pond and oxidation ditch etc. and $\circled2$the biosorption of heavy metals and recovery of strategic' precious metals and $\circled3$the single-celled protein production and the production of chemicals like coloring agent and $\circled4$the production of electric energy through methane gasification. The culture system also has been developed constantly in relation with such utilization method developments. In the result of experimental operation under continuous and cyclic irradiation of light, using high rate algae biomass culture pond(HRABCP), which had been made so as to be an association system with the various items which had been managed to have high efficiency for algae culture, the algae production of the 12 hours-irradiance pond was 41.48 Chlorophyll-a ${\mu}g/L$ only in spite of having the more chance of $CO_2$ synthesis to algae cell than the 24 hours-irradiance pond. This means that the energy supply required for dark-reaction of photosynthesis is very important like this. The difference of algae production between continuous and cyclc irradiation explains that the dark-reaction of photosynthesis acts on algae production as the biggest primary factor. The continuous irradiance on HRABCP made the good algae-production($1403.97{\;}{\mu}g$ Chlorophyll-a/mg) and the good oxygen-production(5.8 mg $O_2/L$) and the good solid-liquid seperation. especially, DO concentration through the oxygen-production was enough to fishes' survival.

Several metalliferous and coal mines, including Myungjin, Seojin and Okdong located at the upper watershed of Okdong stream, were abandoned or closed since 1988 due to the mining industry promotion policy and thus disposed an enormous amount of mining wastes without a proper treatment facilities, resulting in water pollution in the downstream areas. AMD and waste effluents from the closed coal mines were very strongly acidic showing pH ranges of 2.7 to 4.5 and had a high level of total dissolved solid (TDS) showing the ranges of 1,030 to 1,947 mg/L. Also heavy metal concentrations in these samples such as Fe, Cu, Cd and anion such as sulfate were very high. These parameters of AMD and effluents were considered to be highly polluted as compared to those in the main stream area of the Okdong river and be major pollutants for water and soil in tile downstream area. Pollution indices of the surface water at the upper stream of Okdong river where AMD of the abandoned coal mines was flowed into main stream were in the ranges of 16.3 to 47.1. On the other hand, those at the mid stream where effluents from tailing dams and coal mines flowed into main stream were in tile ranges of 10.6 to 19.5. However, those at the lower stream were ranged from 10.6 to 14.9 These results indicated that mining wastes such as AMD and effluents from the closed mines were tile major source to water pollution at the Okdong stream areas.

In order to study the seasonal patterns and possible origins of air concentrations of volatile organic compounds(VOC), measurements were taken with GC-MS at 3 sampling sites in Jinju for 12 months from Mar. 2010 to Feb. 2011. Atmospheric VOC are sampled on tubes containing solid adsorbents(Tenax TA) with a time resolution of 2hrs. Composition and concentration of VOC are analysed with a GC system equipped with thermal desorption apparatus(ATD). The most abundant compound appeared to be Toluene, Ethylbenzene and m,p-Xylene. The mean concentrations of Benzene were 0.20 ppb at GN site, 0.18 ppb at DA site, and 0.25 ppb at SP site, respectively. VOC concentration showed a strong seasonal variation, with higher concentrations during the spring and lower concentrations during the summer. The results showed that monthly fluctuations in measured VOC concentrations depended on variations in the strength of sources, as well as on photochemical activity and meteorological conditions. In Jinju, the total VOC emissions for 2009 were estimated to be 4,407 ton/year by Clean Air Policy Support System(CAPSS). It is shown that solvent use 57.5%(2,534 ton/yr), waste treatment and disposal 23.3%(1,025 ton/yr), and mobil source-road traffic 12.2%(537 ton/yr) are the most significant anthropogenic source.
