The meat consumption produces a lot of bone waste everyday. Dumping bone waste without treatment results into environmental hazards. Conventional treatment by pyrolysis is slow, inefficient and produces hazardous by-products. In the work, an investigation of bone waste incinerated using thermal plasma technology is presented. A high temperature arc plasma torch operated at 33 kW was employed for the experiments. Bone waste was incinerated to remove the infectious organic matter and to vitrify the inorganic matter using plasma torch. Bone waste was reduced its 2/3 weight after the treatment. The process was highly efficient, economical, convenient, and fuel free. This method could be used as an alternative method for disposal of bone waste, small infectious animals, hazardous hospital waste, etc.

To solve the problems of energy and environment conservation issued recently, mainly in mechanical engineering point of view, R&D's on the thermal, fluid and environmental engineering technology have been carried out by two R&D departments in the Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials (KIMM). Now there are 65 researchers in the two. The representative projects in the field of thermal and fluid engineering are development of an inactive gas generator and development of a cryogenic cooler for electronic sensors. Pyrolysis and melting of wastes, gas treatment using nonthermal plasma, and desalination are important technology to be developed in environmental R&D areas. To reduce the emission from the existing diesel engines for buses, an LPG direct injection type of bus engine is being developed supported by LPG supply companies. These several R&D projects which have been carried out in KIMM are introduced briefly.

Structural changes attending polyacrylonitrile(PAN) upon heating and treating with nucleophilic reagents have been studied for some time and a few authors have studied on the thermal degradation, particularly on the characterization of degradation products in PAN. It is the purpose of this paper to report the kinetic study on the thermal degradation above $250^{\circ}C$ and make some suggestions as to the degradation process and mechanism in PAN. The degradation process in PAN is considered that three reactions are combined in two steps. Random chain scission accompanying the naphthylidine-type ring formation is the first step and the degradation of naphthylidine-type ring occurred as the next step. The reactions in the first step are competitive so that the maximum weight loss on pyrolysis of PAN, under such a condition that the degradation of naphthylidine-type ring is negligible, is depended on the relative reaction rate of these two competitive reactions.

A technological review and analysis were performed on thermal cracking of aviation hydrocarbon fuels that circulate as coolants in regenerative cooling systems of hypersonic flights. Liquid hydrocarbons decompose into low-carbon-number hydrocarbons when they absorb a considerable amount of energy at extremely high temperatures, and these thermal cracking behaviors are represented by heat sink capacity, conversion ratio, reaction products, and coking propensity. These parameters are closely interrelated, and thus, they must be considered for optimum performance in terms of the overall heat absorption in the regenerative cooling system and supersonic combustion in the scramjet engine.

To predict the thermal deformation of an oven cabinet during the enamel process, we propose a simple finite element analysis method comprising two steps: heating and cooling. To this end, the basic mechanical and thermal properties such as thermal expansion of the enamel and steel plate were experimentally studied, and the mechanical properties of four different stainless steel (SUS) plates were evaluated to select the target material for the oven at high temperature conditions from 400 ℃ to 700 ℃. In the first analysis step of the enamel process, the SUS plate was heated to 850 ℃ and was then thermally expanded without considering the enamel coating. Next, assuming the perfect bonding of two materials (enamel coating and metal plate), the enamel plate was allowed to cool to room temperature till 22 ℃. From the results of comparing the experimental and analytical data, we can make a conclusion that the proposed method can be applied to evaluate the thermal deformation of enamel products. Especially, the thermal deformation of the oven can be predicted with different enamel coating conditions, such as uniform and nonuniform coating thickness.

It is important to understand thermal characteristic as a method to estimate the new materials, because spontaneous ignition characterized by causing combustion in the low temperature without ignition source. If can not find out the thermal characteristics of materials, it is frequent that causes of fires could not be found. The danger level of spontaneous ignition material should be estimated and by closely studying its thermal characteristic. However, RPF(Refuse Paper & Plastic Fuel) is a solid matter and getting increasesa year by year because it is an economy profit as alternative energy for limited fossil fuels. Some time RPF occur a fire in the cases of its production process and conservation. Therefore study for thermal stability and critical ignition temperature of RPF was so imperative that the experiment by means of Bombe Calorimeter, TG-DTA, MS80, SIT-II, and Wire Basket Test was implemented. As a result, RPF had a caloric value 26.4-28.3 MJ/kg, and its initial pyrolysis temperature was $192^{\circ}C$ at heating rate 2 K/min. With the result of analysis by MS 80 which is an instrument measuring microscopic calory, pure RPF not containing water has higher caloric value than RPF containing 20% water. Also, SIT-II which is an instrument of insulated auto-ignition was ignited by $118.5^{\circ}C$. This temperature is lower than that of Wire Basket Test. The critical ignition temperature was calculated by Frank-Kamenetskii equation can cause ignition at $80^{\circ}C$ when conserved in the height of 10 m by the standard of infinity slab.

The worldwide trend of waste treatment technology is rapidly transferring from "incineration system" to "gasification & melting system" which can derive the resources from waste and charge no more environmental burden to nature. And therefore it is necessary to adopt gasification & melting system to prevent the land pollution and to solve the problem of landfill area. Among several thermal waste treatment processes gasification and melting system is the representative process which can transfer waste to resources such as syn-gas, molten slag, metal hydroxide, mixed salt and sulfur through the process of compaction, pyrolysis, gasification and melting.

The incineration process has commonly used for wastes amount reduction and thermal treatments of pollutants as the technologies accumulated. However, the process is getting negative public images owing to matter of hazardous pollutants emission. Specially dioxins became a main issue and were mostly emitted from municipal solid wastes incineration. In this reason, pyrolysis/gasification/melting process is presented as an alternative of incineration process. The pyrolysis/gasification/melting process, a novel technology, is middle of verification of commercial plant and development of technologies in Korea. But the survey about the pollutant emission from the process, and background data in these facilities is necessary. So in this survey, t is investigated that the behavior of chlorobenzenes and chlorophenols in plasma type pyrolysis/gasification/melting plant of pilot scale. We investigated discharging behavior of each phase of chlorobenzene through each process in the plsasma type pyrolysis/gasification/melting process. From this result, it was found that about 99 percent of particle-phase chlorobenzene was removed, but on the other hand gas-phase chlorobenzene was increased by about 600 percent through heat exchanger, flue gas cooling, system and semi dry absorption bag filter(SDA/BF). Also, this investigation presented that di-chlorobenzene(DCB) tri-chlorobenzene(TCB), tetra-chlorobenzene(TeCB), penta-chlorobenzene (PCB), except mono-chlorobenzene(MCB) and hexa-chlorobenzene(HCB) were increased through the flue gas cooling system and the semi dry absorption bag filter(SDA/BF). It was investigated that concentration of particle-phase chlorophenol was decreased by about 66 percent, but on the other hand, concentration of gas-phase chlorophenol was increased by about 170 percent through heat exchanger, flue gas cooling system, and semi dry absorption bag filter(SDA/BF). Also, it was found that di-chlorophenol(DCP), tri-chlorophenol(TCP), and penta-chlorophenol(PCP) were increased through the flue gas cooling system, and the semi dry absorption bag filter(SDA/BF). It can be considered that small-scale pilot facility and short investigation period might cause the concentration increase through the flue gas cooling system and the semi dry absorption bag filter(SDA/BF). A further study on real-scale pilot facility and accurate investigation may be required.
