Amount of food waste has been increased annually in Korea and re-use of food waste as a fertilizer or soil amendment in agricultural field has been studied. Therefore, main purpose of this research was to determine optimum condition of hydrolysis for food waste management. Three different solvents, HCl, $H_2SO_4$, and KOH, were used and varied concentration at the range of 10~30% and hydrolysis time at the range of 1~3 hours were evaluated. In general, reduction rate of food waste was increased when concentration of solvent and hydrolysis time was increased except when KOH was used. Among different solvents, concentration, and hydrolysis time, the highest reduction rate (97.79%) was observed when 30% of HCl was used with temperature of $140^{\circ}C$ at 2 hours of hydrolysis time. In addition, neutralization effect of alkalic materials, shell waste (SW) and egg shell (ES) was evaluated. Both SW and ES increased pH of finished acid hydrolysis solution up to 7.61 indicating that neutralization effect of SW and ES was sufficient for finished acid hydrolysis solution. Contents of organic matter was also at the range of 10.7~13.04% and 5.53~8.04% respectively when HCl and $H_2SO_4$ were used as solvent. Overall, hydrolysis technique can be used to manage food waste with selected optimum condition in this study and characteristics of finished hydrolysis solution after neutralization might be suitable for soil amendments.

염색 산업에서 발생하는 염색폐수는 적절한 처리가 필요한 유해 폐수로 분류된다. 파이롯트 규모의 선택적 무촉매 환원반응 (SNCR) 실험 장치에서 염색폐수를 연소 배가스에 포함된 질소산화물을 효과적으로 저감할 수 있는 첨가제로 사용하는 연구를 수행하였다. 염색 산업에서 배출되는 염색폐수는 환원제의 첨가제로 사용되기 위해서는 표준화된 제제 형태이어야 하며 이를 위해 여러 단계의 정제과정을 거쳤다. 엄격하게 처리되어야 할 염색폐수는 적어도 유용성 면에서 약 87%의 NO 저감 효율을 보일 정도로 만족할 만한 효율을 보이나, CO 제거에서는 거의 효과가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 첨가제 첨가효과는 $750-1150^{\circ}C$ 구간에서 처음에는 온도가 증가함에 NO 제거 효율이 증가하다가 그 다음에는 감소하는 형태를 보인다. 최적의 온도조건에서 최대의 NO 제거 효율은 87% 이었다. 염색폐수에 포함된 약 1000ppm의 Na 화합물의 영향으로 NO 저감 효율 면에서 약 10%의 효율 향상이 있었으며, 이와 더불어 첨가제를 첨가하지 않은 경우에 비해 $N_2O$ 저감 효율과 SNCR 반응의 반응온도 확장 면에서 뚜렷한 효율 증진을 얻을 수 있었다.

The volume of parcel delivery is steadily increasing with the rapid growth of the global online e-commerce market. However, a large amount of packaging materials used for these parcel delivery is finally causing environmental problems as waste. The rapid increase of these packaging waste has been making many countries to research ways to reduce the generation of distribution packaging waste. In this study, we have measured the empty space ratio for 131 packagings of parcel delivery purchased through the several domestic online stores in order to investigate the present situation in connection with the degree of excessive or overpack in korean parcel delivery packagings, so that 64 packagings were exceeded 50% in the empty space ratio. And we have suggested ways to reduce the generation of distribution packaging waste raised by e-commerce-based parcel delivery through analyzing the previous research and case studies ; one is to optimize and minimize the packaging design by safe transit test(field-to-lab test), another is to develop a reusable & returnable transport packaging and system applicable in the domestic supply chain, the other is to regulate directly with a policy.

Ecological issues such as natural resource reduction and enormous waste disposals are increasingly leading in developing civilization toward sustainable construction. The two primary environmental issues are the depletion of natural resources and the disposal of trash in open landfills. Waste steel fiber (WSF) was investigated for usage as a cement-based concrete (CBC) constituent in this research. Recycling waste fibers both makes cement composites more long and cost-effective, also aids in pollution reduction. The objective of this study is to analyze the impacts of waste fiber on the fresh and mechanical features of concrete using recycled additives. A comparative research on the durability and mechanical qualities of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) constructed with natural aggregates was conducted for this aim. The obstacles to successful WSF recycling methods application in the building industry have been investigated, resulting that CBCs with these fibers make an economic and long lasting choice to deal with waste materials. The workability of fiber enhanced concrete was found to be comparable to that of normal concrete. Fibers have a considerable impact on the splitting tensile strength, flexural and compressive strength of recycled concrete. Fiber may enhance the water permeability. When the WSF content is 0.6 kg/m3, the water absorption is nearly half. Fibers would have no effect on its permeability.

동정광으로 동을 제련하는 동제련소에서는 대략 35-45%정도 철을 함유한 폐동슬래그가 다량 배출되어 대부분 폐기처분되고 있다. 따라서 폐동슬래그로부터 철을 회수하여 철을 자원화하는 것은 자원의 효율적인 활용측면과 환경문제를 감소하는 측면에서 관심이 크게 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 동제련소에서 발생되는 다량의 철 성분이 포함된 폐동슬래그로부터 철의 품위향상을 위한 physico-chemical 분리 공정이 개발되었다. 개발된 공정은 먼저 폐동슬래그를 1 mm이하로 파쇄하는 공정(1차 파쇄공정)과, 이어서 $1225^{\circ}C$에서 90분 동안 탄소 환원하는 공정(탄소 환원공정), 그리고 환원된 슬래그로부터 $104{\mu}m$ 이하로 2차 파 분쇄하는 공정(2차 파쇄공정)과, 이어서 철 농축물을 분리 회수하는 습식자력선별 공정(습식 자력선별공정)으로 구성된다. 개발된 공정을 이용하여 환원된 폐동슬래그를 0.2 T의 자력세기에서 습식자력선별 함으로써 철 품위가 66 wt.%인 철 농축물을 얻었고, 같은 조건에서 철 회수율은 72%이었다. 따라서 분리 회수된 철 농축물은 철 원료로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Combustion characteristics of the wood chips(balsa chips) were experimentally investigated with respect to the thermal recycle system of the urban waste. The urban waste contains plastics, vegetable and wood materials. Wood was chosen as an example of the one of the component of urban dust. A small wood chip was burned in a electric furnace by the micro-electric balance. The mass reduction rate was normalized by the initial mass of test piece and the time of volatile combustion end. When the mass of the wood chips(balsa chips) was larger than 0.5g, the combustion similarity was found on the normalized mass reduction rate.

A simplified flowsheet for pyroprocessing commercial spent fuel is proposed in which the only salt treatment step is actinide drawdown from electrorefiner salt. Actinide drawdown can be performed using a simple galvanic reduction process utilizing the reducing potential of gadolinium metal. Recent results of equilibrium reduction potentials for Gd, Ce, Nd, and La are summarized. A description of a recent experiment to demonstrate galvanic reduction with gadolinium is reviewed. Based on these experimental results and material balances of the flowsheet, this new variant of the pyroprocessing scheme is expected to meet the objectives of minimizing cost, maximizing processing rate, minimizing proliferation risk, and optimizing the utilization of geologic repository space.

Background: The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) is gaining attention as an efficient decomposer of food waste. However, recalcitrant compounds such as plastics mixed into food waste may have negative effects on its growth and survival. Moreover, its efficiency of food waste degradation may also be affected by plastics. In addition, salt (NaCl) can also be present in high concentrations, which also reduces the efficiency of H. illucens-mediated food waste treatment. In this study, we assessed the growth of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) reared on food waste containing polyethylene (PE) and polystyrene (PS) and NaCl. The weight of BSFL was measured every 2-4 days. Survival and substrate reduction rates and pupation ratio were determined at the end of the experiment. Results: The total larval weight of Hermetia illucens reared on food waste containing PS was greater than that of the control on days 20 and 24. However, the survival rate was lower in the group treated with 5% PS, as was substrate reduction in all PS-treated groups. The weight of BSFL reared on food waste containing PE was lower than that of the control on day 6. PE in food waste did not affect the survival rate, but the pupation ratio increased and substrate consumption decreased with increasing PE concentrations. Regardless of the plastic type, the addition of NaCl resulted in decreased larval weight and pupation ratio. Conclusions: Larval growth of black soldier fly was inhibited not by plastics but by substrate salinity. Additional safety assessments of larvae reared on food waste containing impurities are needed to enable wider application of BSFL in vermicomposting.
