This study examined the effects of multiple recycling on deinkability and properties of recycled paper from laser computer printout (LCPO). First, alkaline paper with a 20% printed area was disintegrated by TAPPI standard disintegrator at room temperature. After dewatering, the pulp was flotated and dried in oven at80$^{\circ}C$ for 24 hrs. A sequence of wetting, disintegrating, flotating and drying was one recycling cycle and this cyclic treatment was repeated from zero to five times. The recycled handsheet dropped to 90% of the original brightness after five cycles, and lost the most brightness after five cycles, and lost the most brightness in the first two cycles. However, it had a gain of 10% in opacity after five cycles as the same as the case of nonprinting. And, in this study, the method for determining residual ink(toner) content in recycled handsheets ere established by means of SEM-EDX and Py-GC. The change of residual ink percentage on recycled paper showed the effect of recycling numbers on deinkability of waste paper. A slight decrease in deinkability was noted for the recycled handsheets, which may be due to the change of fiber surface free energy connected with fiber swelling.

There is a big move to build zero-energy buildings in the form of passive houses that reduce energy waste worldwide. Korea has set a goal of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 37% by 2030 through the activation of green buildings, such as strengthening the energy levels of new buildings and improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings. The use of insulation with high insulation performance is one of the key technologies to realize this, and vacuum insulation is the next generation insulation that blocks the energy flow of the building. In this study, we measured the bonding structure of dry and wet processing glass fiber core materials and compared the insulation performance of vacuum insulation panel. In addition, the insulation performance of vacuum insulation panel was measured according to the thickness of the laminated core. It can be confirmed that the lamination structure of the core and the lamination thickness are important factors for the heat insulating performance of the vacuum insulating panel.

Heavy metal pollution is caused due to anthropogenic activities and is considered as a serious environmental problem which endangers human health and environment. The present study deals with biosorption, an eco-friendly technique for the removal of heavy metal Zn(II) from aqueous medium. Various natural materials have been explored for the uptake of metal ions, where most of them are physically or chemically enhanced. Dry cowdung powder (DCP) has been utilized as a low-cost, environmentally friendly humiresin without any pre-treatment, thus demonstrating the concept of Green Chemistry. Batch biosorption studies using ⁶⁵Zn(II) tracer were performed and the impact of different experimental parameters was studied. Results revealed that at pH 6, 94 ± 2% of Zn(II) was effectively biosorbed in 5 min, at 303 K. The process was spontaneous and exothermic, following pseudo-second-order reaction. The mechanism of heavy metal biosorption employing green adsorbent was therefore elucidated in order to determine the optimal method for removing Zn(II) ions. DCP has a lot of potential in the wastewater treatment industry, as seen by its ability to meet 3A's affordability, adaptability, and acceptability criteria. As a result, DCP emerges as one of the most promising challengers for green chemistry and the zero-waste idea.

Development in advanced separation processes leads to the significant advancement in polymeric membrane preparation methodology. Therefore, present research investigated the preparation and characterization of cellulose acetate membrane by phase inversion separation method to determine optimized operating parameters. Prepared CA membrane's performance was been analyzed in terms of % rejection and flux. Investigation was conducted to study effect of different parameters such as polymer concentration, evaporation rate, thickness of film, coagulation bath properties, temperature of polymer solution and of the coagulation bath etc. CA membrane was fabricated by taking polymer concentration 10wt% and 11wt% with zero second evaporation time and varying film thickness over non-woven polyester fabric. Effect of coagulation bath temperature (CBT) and casting solution temperature were also been studied. The experimental results from SEM showed that the surface morphology had been changed with polymer r concentration, coagulation bath and casting solution temperature, etc. Lower polymer concentration leads to lower precipitation time giving porous membrane. The prepared membrane was tested for advanced waste water treatment of relevant effluent stream in pilot plant to study flux and rejection behavior of the membrane.

Nitrilases are a hydrolase group of enzymes that catalyzes nitrile compounds and produce industrially important organic acids. The current objective is to optimize nitrilase production using statistical methods assisted with artificial intelligence (AI) tool from novel nitrile degrading isolate. A nitrile hydrolyzing bacteria Bacillus subtilis AGAB-2 (GenBank Ascension number- MW857547) was isolated from industrial effluent waste through an enrichment culture technique. The culture conditions were optimized by creating an orthogonal design with 7 variables to investigate the effect of the significant factors on nitrilase activity. On the basis of obtained data, an AI-driven support vector machine was used for the fitted regression, which yielded new sets of predicted responses with zero mean error and reduced root mean square error. The results of the above global optimization were regarded as the theoretical optimal function conditions. Nitrilase activity of 9832 ± 15.3 U/ml was obtained under optimized conditions, which is a 5.3-fold increase in compared to unoptimized (1822 ± 18.42 U/ml). The statistical optimization method involving Plackett Burman Design and Response surface methodology in combination with an AI tool created a better response prediction model with a significant improvement in enzyme production.

The purpose of this study is to conduct more practical subsequent research by identifying research areas through a systematic analysis of sustainable fashion design research trends. For this study, 117 journals domestic journals published between 2010 and 2020 were selected using the keyword, 'sustainable fashion'. With the research materials, six top keywords, 'zero waste', 'sustainability', 'eco-friendly', 'upcycling', 'recycling', and 'ethical', were derived. The research status was examined by year, keyword, keyword and year, and research topic. The analysis results are as follows. First, looking into the studies by year, it was found that research on sustainable fashion increased in general. Compared to 2010, the research tripled in 2020, and it was found to have increased steadily from 2018. Second, regarding the research by keyword, eco-friendly was the most common. It can be seen that research tended to focus on recycling or eco-friendliness before, but in later material design development was heading towards upcycling. Third, concerning the research by topic, case studies were found the most before, but research on design development tended to increase recently. Based on that, it is expected that the areas of sustainable fashion design that need more research will be investigated further.

현재 우리나라는 친환경 및 원전비중 축소라는 에너지 정책의 큰 변화에 직면하고 있다. 그러나 에너지 정책 변화에 따라 폭발적 증가가 예상되는 전기차 배터리 및 에너지저장시스템 등 중대형 이차전지의 폐기물 사후관리체계 및 관련 정책은 매우 미비한 상태이다. 따라서 본 연구는 국내에서 폭발적인 증가가 예상되는 중대형 리튬이온전지의 철거량을 추정해보고, 중대형 이차전지 재활용 산업의 경제성 분석을 실시하고자 한다. 이를 토대로 국내 중대형 이차전지 재활용 산업의 수익성 분석 및 관련 재활용 산업의 활성화를 위한 정책적 대안을 모색하고자 한다. 연구 분석 결과 국내 중대형 리튬이온전지 재활용 사업의 경우 B/C 비율이 1.06으로 편익이 그 비용보다 높아 사업의 경제성이 존재하는 것으로 분석되었다. 동 사업의 경제성이 높고, 현재 국내에 중대형 이차전지 재활용 관련 부분적 원천기술 및 응용기술이 확보되어 있음에도 불구하고 산업 활성화가 되지 않는 이유는 중대형 이차전지 재활용의 법제화가 이루어지지 않아 국내 수요가 낮기 때문인 것으로 분석된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 생산자책임재활용 제도의 의무대상 품목에 리튬이차전지를 추가하여, 중대형 이차전지 재활용의 국내 수요 확대를 통한 산업 활성화 방안을 제시하였다.

노출 환경 및 설계 변수의 변화에 따라 내구수명은 큰 범위를 가지고 변화하게 되므로 설계자 입장에서는 내구수명의 변동성을 이해하는 것은 중요하다. 최근 들어 탄소 중립을 위하여 플라스틱 혼소재가 클링커 생산 시 원료로 사용되고 있는데, 이러한 경우, 시멘트의 염화물 함유량은 증가하게 된다. 본 연구의 목적은 플라스틱 혼소재를 사용하여 초기 염화물량이 증가할 경우, 다양한 노출 환경과 설계 변수를 고려하여 내구수명이 어떤 수준으로 변화하는지에 대한 연구이다. 이를 위해 4 수준의 초기 염화물량을 설정하였으며, 3 수준의 표면 염화물량을 포함한 다양한 환경 조건에 따라 내구수명을 LIFE 365 프로그램을 이용하여 평가하였다. 해석 변수로서 임계 염화물량, 고로슬래그 미분말 치환 혼입율, 물-결합재 비, 피복두께, 단위 결합재량, 초기 염화물량을 설정하였다. 초기 염화물량이 증가함에 따라 내구수명은 감소하는 경향을 보이지만 이 값을 1,000ppm까지 허용해도 내구수명의 큰 감소는 나타나지 않았다. 또한 슬래그 치환율을 증가시킬 경우 더 높은 내구수명을 확보할 수 있는데, 이는 고로슬래그 미분말이 외부 염화물 이온의 확산 저감과 동시에 자유 염화물을 고정시키는 효과가 있기 때문이다. 초기 염화물량의 허용 농도를 유럽기준과 같이 증가시키는 것도 지속가능성 향상과 탄소량을 저감시키는 데 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다. 또한 표면 염화물량이 낮고 혼화재(슬래그)를 사용한 경우, 초기 염화물량의 영향은 상대적으로 낮았지만 표면염화물량이 높은 경우, 노출환경을 고려한 신중한 배합설계가 필요하다.

본 연구는 폐자원 재활용 측면에서 농업적 유용활용(beneficial use)이 가능할 것으로 판단되는 영가철과 석탄회로 제조한 토양개량제를 투입하여 토양 염류 농도와 작물 생산량에 미치는 영향을 배양시험과 재배시험으로 평가하였다. 토양개량제는 석탄회를 구형으로 제형하고 영가철이 함유된 용액(0.1, 1.0%)을 표면에 살포하여 제조하였다. 토양개량제는 밭토양으로 충진된 와그너포트에 40 g/10a과 400 g/10a를 처리하였고, 30일 간 배양한 후 토양 EC와 염 농도를 분석하였다. 토양의 EC는 400 g/10a 실험구에서 대조구 대비 약 50% 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 국내 대표적인 염류인 유효인산의 경우 개량제의 처리 후 1/3 수준으로 감소되었다. 개량제 처리에 따른 토양 내 EC와 염 농도의 감소는 매우 유의한 수준으로 분석되었다(r=0.672~0.985). 또한 개량제 처리 후 뿌리와 줄기의 생육은 약 10% 증가였고, 건중량 또한 대조구에 비해 줄기와 뿌리에서 각각 30-50%와 60-75% 유의하게 증가하였다. 석탄회와 영가철을 농업용 토양개량제로 재활용할 경우 농업 환경 개선뿐만 아니라 농업 생산성 증대에도 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
