Styrofoam beads, which are relatively inexpensive and can provide a large specific surface area, were tested as filter media. Styrofoam beads with a diameter of $3{\pm}0.5mm$ were used; the specific surface area of the beads was $1,034m^2{\cdot}m^{-3}$. Five independent recirculating culture systems were used in the experiment. Each system consisted of one culture tank and three trickling bio-filters. Using the systems, nitrification efficiency was evaluated with respect to hydraulic loading rate (HLR) and carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio. The lowest ammonia and nitrogen concentrations were $0.84mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ and $1.30mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, respectively, observed at an HLR of $50.9m^3{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}h^{-1}$. Nitrification efficiency in the culture tank was highest at a C/N ratio of 0, with ammonia and nitrite nitrogen concentrations of $0.32mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ and $0.90mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, respectively. Ammonia and nitrite nitrogen concentrations in the culture tank abruptly changed at C/N ratios ${\geq}3$.

본 논문은 폐 Styrofoam과 현장발생토를 활용하여 경량 성토재로서의 특성을 파악하고자 하는데 목적이 있다. 폐 Styrofoam 입자는 가볍고 단열성이 좋으며 진동차단효과도 우수하기 때문에 경량 성토재로서의 활용이 가능하다. 특히 Styrofoam은 1996년 재활용 품목으로 선정되어 토공재료로서의 적합성만 확인된다면 체계적인 공급이 가능하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 폐 Styrofoam 혼합토의 동적 다짐시험, 정적 다짐시험, pH 및 용출실험을 하였으며, 그 결과 효율적인 다짐관리를 위해서는 정적 다짐방식으로 다짐관리가 이루어져야 하며, 경량 성토재의 환경적 위해성 평가결과 pH는 지정폐기물 판정기준을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다.

Nitrification performance of fixed film biofilters using coarse sand, loess bead, or styrofoam beads in biofilter columns 1 meter high and 30cm in diameter were studied at different hydraulic and organic matter loading rates. Synthetic wastewater was supplied to the culture tank in order to maintain desired TAN concentrations in inlet water to biofilters. All the biofilters were conditioned 5 months before start of sampling. TAN and $NO_2-N$ conversion rates increased with an increase in the hydraulic loading rate (HLR). However, the improvement in biofilter performance was not linearly correlated to HLR in styrofoam bead filters. This is mainly due to the characteristics of the styrofoam beads used. TAN conversion rates of sand filters increased with the increase of HLR up to $200m^3/m^2$. per day. No increase in the TAN conversion rate was observed at the highest HLR since flooding on the media surface took place. HLR had a significant impact on the TAN conversion rates in loess bead filter up to the highest HLR tested (P<0.05). TAN conversion rates were much less at organic matter loading rates of 9 and 18kg $O_2/m^3$ per day than those without the addition of organic matter in styrofoam bead filters. The addition of glucose resulted in a reduction of the TAN conversion rate from 540 to 284g $TAN/m^3$ per day. No significant difference of TAN conversion rates between the two organic matter loading rates was found (p<0.05). This indicates that the impact of organic matter on nitrification becomes less and less sensitive with an increase in the COD/TAN ratio. At an organic matter loading rate of 9kg $O_2/m^3$. per day, a great reduction of TAN conversion rates was observed in sand filters and loess bead filters. Clearly, organic matter can be one of the most Important Impacting factors on nitrification. $NO_2-N$ conversion rates showed a similar trend for TAN. Based on the TAN and nitrite conversion rates, styrofoam beads showed the best performance among the three filter media tested. Also, the low gravity and price of styrofoam beads make the handling easier and more cost-effective for commercial application. The results obtained at the highest organic matter loading rates can be used in the biofilter design in recirculating aquaculture system.

The low foamed high strengthen styrofoam samples made by dielectric heating are discussed. We used the oscillator which have the frequency of 13.6MHz and the Power of 7kW. 3 times expanded beads by steaming method were used in our foam-molding test. Internal fusion properties and density of internal structure were improved by dielectric foaming process. At the temperature of 105-110$^{\circ}C$, the internal fusion property was maximally improved.

고강도 저발포 스티로폼을 고온고압 수증기를 사용하지 않고 초고주파를 사용하여 제조하는 공법을 개발하였다. 주파수 13.6 MHz이고 출력 7kW의 전자기파와 3배 발포분을 원료로 사용하였다. 유전가열방식이 스팀방식보다 내부 융착성에서 우수하였으며, 모분 온도 $105-110^{\circ}C$에서 내부 융착성이 가장 우수하였다.

경량성토공법은 성토체 자중을 감소시켜 지반의 침하를 감소시키는 공법으로 작업의 편리성 등의 이유로 적용사례가 증가하고 있다. 이와 관련하여 스티로폼은 연약지반상에 경량성토재로서 활용할 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 경량성토재로서 스티로폼의 사용은 응력증가를 최소화 할 수 있으며, 안정재 사용을 통하여 지지력 증대와 침하감소효과를 얻을 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 연약점성토층 상부에 경량성토재를 포설하고 모형 지지력 실험과 유한요소해석을 실시하였으며, 그 결과를 바탕으로 경량성토재로서의 지지력 특성을 평가하였다. 실험결과 일반적인 성토재 보다 폐스티로폼을 이용한 성토재가 더욱 우수한 특성을 발휘하는 것으로 나타났다.
