천연자원 및 물질순환은 자원채광, 운반, 처리, 활용, 회수 및 폐기 등과 관련된 모든 인간의 활동을 포함한다. 지속가능한 물질 관리는 물질순환을 통해 경제적 매개체에 맞추어진 통합된 정책수단이며 경제적으로 효율적이고 환경적으로 효과적인 물질의 사용을 위한 것이다. 산업광물, 금속광물 및 화석연료의 물질흐름은 회수, 처리, 소비 및 최종 폐기와 관련된 환경적 압력 때문에 지금껏 환경정책의 주된 영역이었다. OECD의 물질흐름분석연구는 회원국의 경제운용에서 물질자원의 중요성에 대한 이해의 폭을 넓혀 국가별국가간 천연자원 및 물질흐름에 대한 정량적이고 분석적인 지식기반을 증진하는 것이다. 현재 EU에서는 물질흐름계정이 몇몇 회원국에서 공식통계로 활용되고 있다. 주로 물질흐름분석은 물질흐름계정으로부터 정보를 활용하여 물질사용의 효율성을 평가하는 가치화기법으로서 기존의 경제모니터링시스템에서 파악되지 않는 천연자원 등의 폐기를 인지하는데 활용된다. 물질흐름분석에서 자원사용과 효율성은 장기간의 지속가능성 및 환경정책을 위한 중요한 주제로 떠오르고 있는 것이다.

Advanced Life Support Systems (ALSS) are being studied to support human life during long-duration space missions. ALSS can be categorized into four subsystems: Crew, Biomass Production, Food Processing and Nutrition, Waste Processing and Resource Recovery. The System Studies and Modeling (SSM) team of New Jersey-NASA Specialized Center of Research and Training (NJ-NSCORT) has facilitated and conducted analyses of ALSS to address systems level issues. The underlying concept of the SSM work is to enable the effective utilization of information to aid in planning, analysis, design, management, and operation of ALSS and their components. Analytical tools and computer models for ALSS analyses have been developed and implemented for value-added information processing. The results of analyses have been delivered through the Internet for effective communication within the advanced life support (ALS) community. Several modeling paradigms have been explored by developing tools for use in systems analysis. They include object-oriented approach for top-level models, procedural approach for process-level models, and application of commercially available modeling tools such as MATLAB$\^$(R)//Simulink$\^$(R)/. Every paradigm has its particular applicability for the purpose of modeling work. An overview is presented of the systems studies and modeling work conducted by the NJ-NSCORT SSM team in its efforts to provide systems analysis capabilities to the ALS community. The experience gained and the analytical tools developed from this work can be extended to solving problems encountered in general agriculture.

A recent survey investigated that there were over one thousand un-controlled closed landfills(1,072 sites) in Republic of Korea. Most of these landfills were constructed before 1986. Waste management act were not promulgated at that time, so they usually do not have dranage system and leachate treatment facility. Also, considerable attention has been received to landfill leachate pollution, leachate has an adverse impact on the surrounding environment such as soil, groundwater, and water supply source. According to the result of survey for closed landfill management, it was reported that 875 sites out of 1,072sites(81.6％) have no leachate treatment facility and 630 sites out of 1,072sites(58.7％) have been used for farm lands and residence. Consequently it is hard to do postclosure care continuously in most of cases and these uncontrolled landfills have contaminated farm lands and residence. The average age of these landfills are ranged mostly between 2 to 15 years. Much time and advanced technology are needed to remediate these uncontrolled landfills, therefore the survey for present status of closed landfill sites is required and suitable treatment processes should be prepared. With this point of view, We has been investigated to find out the present status of closed landfill, problems of post management and discussed plans for remediation and reuse. Remedial actions of un-controlled landfill have been carried out the many cities since 1997 upto now. Most frequently applied technology were reuse after excavation and there were several cases to capping in the surface of landfill and to construct subsurface barriers. It is considered that landfills in use have a possibility not to be controlled because of inadequate construction and improper management. Therefore remediation of uncontrolled landfills and recovery technology should be develop continuously Especially, it has been expected that resource technology of landfill gas as a energy has some advantages in controlling odors in the site area and accelerating stabilization of landfills with the energy.

In order to reduce odor and methane emission from the landfill, open biocovers and a closed biofilter were applied to the landfill site. Three biocovers and the biofilter are suitable for relatively small-sized landfills with facilities that cannot resource methane into recovery due to small volumes of methane emission. Biocover-1 consists only of the soil of the landfill site while biocover-2 is mixed with the earthworm casts and artificial soil (perlite). The biofilter formed a bio-layer by adding mixed food waste compost as packing material of biocover-2. The removal efficiency decreased over time on biocover-1. However, biocover-2 and the biofilter showed stable odor removal efficiency. The rates of methane removal efficiency were in order of biofilter (94.9%)>, biocover-1(42.3%)>, and biocover-2 (37.0%). The methane removal efficiency over time in biocover-1 was gradually decreased. However, drastic efficiency decline was observed in biocover-2 due to the hardening process. As a result of overturning the surface soil where the hardening process was observed, methane removal efficiency increased again. The biofilter showed stable methane removal efficiency without degradation. The estimate methane oxidation rate in biocover-1 was an average of 10.4%. Biocover-2 showed an efficiency of 46.3% after 25 days of forming biocover. However, due to hardening process efficiency dropped to 4.6%. After overturn of the surface soil, the rate subsequently increased to 17.9%, with an evaluated average of 12.5%.

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.

The quality standards of solid refuse fuel (SRF) define the values for 12 physico-chemical properties, including moisture, lower heating value, and metal compounds, according to Article 20 of the Enforcement Rules of the Act on Resource Saving and Recycling Promotion. These parameters are evaluated via various SRF Quality Test Methods, but problems related to the heavy metal content have been observed in the microwave acid digestion method. Therefore, these methods and their applicability need improvement. In this study, the appropriate testing conditions were derived by varying the parameters of microwave acid digestion, such as microwave power and pre-treatment time. The pre-treatment of SRF as a function of the microwave power revealed an incomplete decomposition of the sample at 600 W, and the heavy metal content analysis was difficult to perform under 9 mL of nitric acid and 3 mL of hydrochloric acid. The experiments with the reference materials under nitric acid at 600 W lasted 30 minutes, and 1,000 W for 20 or 30 minutes were considered optimal conditions. The results confirmed that a mixture of SRF and an acid would take about 20 minutes to reach $180^{\circ}C$, requiring at least 30 minutes of pre-treatment. The accuracy was within 30% of the standard deviation, with a precision of 70 ~ 130% of the heavy metal recovery rate. By applying these conditions to SRF, the results for each condition were not significantly different and the heavy metal standards for As, Pb, Cd, and Cr were satisfied.

최근 우리나라에서는 생활폐기물중 가연성폐기물의 처리방법으로 소각이나 매립처분을 가능한 한 지양하고, 고형연료화(RDF) 등을 통한 자원회수를 도모하기 위해 폐기물의 기계적-생물학적 전처리(MBT, Mechanical Biological Treatment)시설 건설을 활발히 추진하고 있다. 이러한 생활폐기물의 MBT시설에 대한 적정 건설과 운영을 위해서는 먼저 처리 대상이 되는 폐기물의 물리 화학적 성상에 대한 정확한 분석이 이뤄져야 한다. 특히 폐기물의 MBT시설의 주된 프로세스인 파쇄, 선별장치의 적정 설계를 위해서는 폐기물의 입도특성에 대한 정확힌 자료가 제공되어야 하나, 아직 폐기물의 입도특성에 관한 자료는 매우 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 생활폐기물중 가연성폐기물을 대상으로 그들의 입도특성과 입도별 폐기물의 물리화학적 특성을 평가하는데 목적이 있다. 생활폐기물의 시료채취는 수도권 소재 A시의 단독주택, 공동주택, 상가지역 및 업무지역으로 구분하여 실시하였다. 분석결과 발생지역에 관계없이 습윤 기준으로 종이가 29.78~60.02%로 가장 많은 비율을 차지하였다. 원소조성으로는 탄소(C)가 34.77~44.39%로 가장 많은 비율을 차지하였으며, 다음으로 산소(O)가 19.46~33.71%를 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. 고형연료 품질지표인 염소의 경우 0.39~0.83%의 함량을 나타내고 있어 기준치인 2.00% 이하(건조기준)를 만족하고 있었으며, 황(S)함유량도 기준치인 0.60%를 초과하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 입도분석결과 가연분에서는 50~80mm 입도가 가장 많은 비율을 차지하고 있으며, 불연분의 경우 30~50mm가 가장 많은 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 재활용 기반시설에서 발생하는 선별 잔재물을 자원화 하기 위해 가연성 생활폐기물과 혼합하여 도시폐기물 소각로에서 소각 처리할 수 있는 가능성에 대해 고찰하였다. 선별 잔재물을 대상으로 성상과 조성, 삼성분, 발열량을 조사하여 가연성 생활폐기물의 경우와 비교 분석하였고, 도시생활폐기물 소각로에서 가연성 폐기물과 함께 혼합소각 함으로써 연소특성과 오염물질 배출특성 변화에 대해 실험하였다. 연구결과 재활용 기반시설 선별 잔재물이 가연성 생활폐기물에 비해 발열량(5,865 kcal/kg)이 높고, 수분과 회분 함량은 적었다. 또한, 재활용 기반시설 선별 잔재물을 30%와 50% 혼합하여 연소시킬 경우, 가연성 생활폐기물만을 연소하는 경우와 비교할 때, 먼지(dust), $SO_2$, $NO_2$, CO 농도 변화는 크지 않았을 뿐만 아니라, 현행 배출 허용기준을 만족하였다. 다만, 재활용 기반시설 선별 잔재물을 50% 혼합소각할 경우, HCl 농도(최고 33.7 ppm)가 배출허용기준을 초과하므로 30%까지 혼합하여 소각하는 것이 바람직하였다.
