The activated carbon was prepared from waste citrus peels using NaOH. With the increase of NaOH ratio, iodine adsorptivity and specific surface area of the activated carbon prepared were increased, but activation yield was decreased. The optimal condition of activation was at 300% NaOH and $700^{\circ}C$ for 1.5 hr. For the activated carbon produced under optimal condition, iodine adsorptivity was 1,006 mg/g, specific surface area was $1,356 m^2/g$, and average pore diameter was $20{\sim}25{\AA}$. From the adsorption experiment for benzene vapor in fixed bed reactor, it was found that the adsorption capacity of activated carbon prepared from waste citrus peel was higher than that of activated carbon purchased from Calgon company. This result implied that the activated carbon prepared from waste citrus peel could be used for gas phase adsorption.

In the present study, the focus is on the analysis of carbothermal reduction of oxide powder prepared from waste WC/Co hardmetal by solid carbon under a stream of argon for the recycling of the WC/Co hard-metal. The oxide powder was prepared by the combination of the oxidation and crushing processes using the waste $WC-8 wt.\%Co$ hardmetal as the raw material. This oxide powder was mixed with carbon black, and then this mixture was carbothermally reduced under a flowing argon atmosphere. The changes in the phase structure and gases discharge of the mixture during carbothermal reduction was analysed using XRD and gas analyzer. The oxide powder prepared from waste $WC-8wt.\%Co$ hardmetal has a mixture of $WO_{3} and CoWO_{4}$. This oxide powder reduced at about $850^{\circ}C$, formed tungsten carbides at about $950^{\circ}C$, and then fully transformed to a mixed state of tungsten carbide (WC) and cobalt at about $1100^{\circ}C$ by solid carbon under a stream of argon. The WC/Co composite powder synthesized at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours from oxide powder of waste $WC-8wt.\%Co$ hardmetal has an average particle size of $0.3 {\mu}m$.

바이오가스화는 유기성폐기물을 안정적으로 분해하여 처리하는 과정에서 발생하는 메탄(CH₄)가스를 이용해 환경친화적인 연료를 생산하는 기술이다. 바이오가스화는 수분함량이 높은 유기성폐기물의 에너지화에 가장 많이 활용되는 방법이며, 직매립(2005) 및 해양투기(2013) 등의 금지에 따른 유기성폐기물 처리에 유용한 공법이다. 최근 국내에서 발병한 아프리카돼지열병(ASF, African Swine Fever)으로 습식사료화 재활용이 금지되고, 건조 사료화 및 퇴비화 등의 생산제품 수요처가 부정적으로 인식되면서 음식물류폐기물의 처리에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에, 음식물류폐기물의 처리 및 자원화를 위해 바이오가스화가 더욱 주목받고 있다. 우리나라 에너지소비 규모는 268.41 10⁶toe에 이르며 세계 9위 수준이다. 하지만 공급에너지의 약 95.8 %를 해외수입에 의존하고 있는 에너지 빈곤 국가이다. 따라서 국내에서는 신·재생에너지 공급의무화제도(RPS, Renewable energy portfolio standard)를 도입하고 있다. 국내의 RPS 제도는 다른 신재생에너지와 비교하여 폐기물에너지의 신·재생에너지 공급인증서(REC, Renewable energy certificate)의 가중치를 낮게 설정하고 있다. 따라서 폐자원에너지의 활성화를 위한 추가적 인센티브 제도가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 음식물류폐기물, 음폐수 및 다양한 유기성폐기물이 처리되는 혐기소화조의 운영방식을 알아보고, 일정 기간의 정밀모니터링을 통해 폐자원에너지 인센티브제도를 마련하는 기초자료로써 활용하고자 하였다. 유기성 폐기물로 바이오가스를 생산하여 발전과 중질가스로 활용하는 4개소를 대상시설로 선정하였고, 현장조사 및 시료채취를 실시하였다. 채취된 유기성폐기물의 유입물 시료와 처리공정에 따른 유출물 시료의 기초 성상분석을 수행하였다. 성상분석 결과, 소화조 유입물의 총 고형물은 평 균 12.11 %이며, 총 고형물 중 휘발성 고형물은 85.86 %로 확인되었다. BOD와 CODcr 제거율은 소화조의 유입·유출 대비 각각 60.8 %와 64.8 %로 나타났으며, 유입물의 휘발성지방산은 평균 55,716 mg/L로 나타났으며, 혐기소화 후 감소율이 평균 92.3 %로 대부분 분해되어 제거된 것을 확인할 수 있다.

상업용 천연가스 배급 시스템에서 천연가스의 공급압력은 압력조절밸브를 사용하여 제어하며 이때 막대한 압력에너지가 낭비된다. 이러한 폐압에너지는 터보 팽창기와 같은 터보기계를 사용하여 회수할 수 있으나 팽창과정에서 발생하는 Joule-Thompson 효과에 따라서 큰 온도강하가 발생한다. 터보 팽창기 전단 또는 후단에 보일러를 설치하여 영하의 온도를 방지할 수 있으며 또한 보일러를 대체하여 연료전지나 가스엔진의 폐열을 이용하여 천연가스를 예열할 수도 있으나 하이브리드 시스템의 구동을 위해 운영규모에 따라 일정량을 소모해야 한다. 이 연구에서는 천연가스가 가지고 있는 압력에너지를 활용하여 천연가스의 소모 없이 터보 팽창기와 연결된 히트펌프를 구동하여 천연가스를 예열하는 시스템을 제안하고 증발온도, 응축온도 및 작동유체의 변화에 따른 시스템의 열역학적 특성을 분석하였다. R717 냉매가 예상 작동범위 내에서 가장 높은 COP와 가장 낮은 압축일을 나타내 제안된 하이브리드 시스템에 적합함을 확인하였다. 보일러시스템과의 경제성 분석을 통해 천연가스를 LNG 형태로 수입하고 있는 국내의 경우 히트펌프 하이브리드 시스템이 경쟁력 있음을 확인하였다.

Gas permeability of the solidified sewage sludge needs to be characterized in order to use as a large-scale landfill cover material. Four different types of the samples were prepared for gas permeability experiments: (1) granite soil, (2) dried sewage sludge, (3) solidified sewage mixed with slag and (4) solidified sewage mixed with granite soils. The experimental instrumentation and measurement devices were newly designed and created to effectively evaluate gas permeability of the samples.

A new technology to make fluoride gas such as NF$_3$contained in the exhaust gas from semiconductor manufacturing plants convert directly into a harmless substance have been established and new concept on the disposal treatment of global warming gases were presented. Experimental results verify that the chemical reactions can be take place at substantially lower temperature of 80-40$0^{\circ}C$ as compared with the combustion treatment method. Reaction product is mainly metal fluoride which is a harmless and a valuable chemical material as one of new resources. The other favorable characteristics are that the continuous treatment is possible at a low temperature under atmospheric pressure. Furthermore this process is compact, easily controllable and safely operable at low running cost. This paper concerns with a new harmless disposal treatment of toxic global warming gas.

Corrosion science faces new challenges in various nuclear environments. Three main areas may be identified where increases of knowledge and understanding have been done and are still needed to face the technical needs: (i) the extension of the service time of nuclear power plants from 40 years, as initially planned, to 60 years and probably more as expected now, (ii) the prediction of long term behaviour of metallic materials in nuclear waste disposal where the corrosion processes have to be predicted over large periods of time, some thousands years and more, (iii) the choice of materials for use at very high temperatures as expected in Generation IV power plants in environments like gas (helium), supercritical water, liquid metals or salts. Service time extension, deep geological waste repositories and high temperature reactors sustain researches and developments to model corrosion phenomena at various scales, from atoms to components.

Migration of leachate generated through embankment of construction waste soil (CWS) in low-lying areas was studied through physical and chemical analysis. A leachate solution containing soluble cations from CWS was found to have a pH above 9.0. To determine the distribution coefficients in the alkali solution, column and migration tests were conducted in the laboratory. The physical and chemical properties of CWS satisfied environmental soil criteria; however, the pH was high. The effective diffusion coefficients for CWS ions fell within the range of $0.725-3.3{\times}10^{-6}cm^2/s$. Properties of pore water and the amount of undissolved gas in pore water influenced advection-diffusion behavior. Contaminants migrating from CWS exhibited time-dependent concentration profiles and an advective component of transport. Thus, the transport equations for CWS contaminant concentrations satisfied the differential equations in accordance with Fick's 2nd law. Therefore, the migration of the contaminant plume when the landfilling CWS reaches water table can be predicted based on pH using the effective diffusion coefficient determined in a laboratory test.
