Molten carbonate oxidation (MCO) is one of the promising alternative technologies for the treatment of the chlorinated organic compounds because it is capable of trapping chlorine during a destruction of them. In this study, destructions of chlorinated organic compounds ($C_6H_5Cl$, $C_2HCl_3$ and $CCl_4$) and an insulated oil containing PCBs were performed by using the two stage molten carbonate oxidation system. MCO reactor temperature largely affected the destruction of the chlorinated organic compounds. Destruction of the chlorinated organics very efficient in the primary MCO reactor however a significant amount of CO was emitted from the MCO system. This CO emission was gradually decreased by an increase in the primary reactor temperature and oxidizing air feed rate. The HCl emission from the MCO system was below 7 ppm regardless of tested conditions. The chlorine collection efficiencies were in the range of 99.95-99.99%. The destruction of PCBs in the insulated oil was efficient at a temperature above $900^{\circ}C$ and overall destruction efficiency of them was determined as over 99.9999%.

The destruction of synthetic acetic acid wastewater was carried out using UV, $O_3$, $H_2O_2$, $Fe^{2+}$ oxidants in various combinations by the advanced oxidation processes. $UV/H_2O_2$, $UV/H_2O_2/Fe^{2+}$, $O_3$, $O_3/H_2O_2$, $UV/O_3/H_2O_2$, $UV/O_3/H_2O_2/Fe^{2+}$ processes were tested. $UV/H_2O_2/Fe^{2+}$, $O_3/H_2O_2$, $UV/O_3/H_2O_2$, $UV/O_3/H_2O_2/Fe^{2+}$ processes shows the most effective destruction efficiency at low pH (3.5) condition of wastewater, but $UV/H_2O_2$ and $O_3$ processes were observed less than 20%. Destruction efficiency was gradually increased with the reaction time in the $O_3/H_2O_2$ and $UV/O_3/H_2O_2$ processes, in case of the $UV/H_2O_2/Fe^{2+}$ and $UV/O_3/H_2O_2/Fe^{2+}$ processes shows rapid increasing of destruction efficiency within 90 min, then slightly decreasing with time. The destruction efficiencies of $UV/H_2O_2/Fe^{2+}$, $O_3/H_2O_2$, $UV/O_3/H_2O_2$ and $UV/O_3/H_2O_2/Fe^{2+}$ processes were observed 55, 66, 66 and 64%, respectively.

Each country has implemented various environmental policies to prevent natural disasters and destruction of ecosystem caused by global wanning. The republic of Korea also was performed building energy efficiency rating certification system as part of paradigm of 'Low carbon green growth' since 2010. However, the status on the building energy efficiency rating certification system has not been analyzed. In this study, We analyzed the elements affecting the energy efficiency of small office buildings focusing the status and certification cases of the building energy efficiency rating system. As a result, it is judged that thermal performance contribution of the building envelope is not high in the buildings certificated the first grade of the building energy efficiency rating system.

Fluorinated compounds mainly used in the semiconductor industry are potent greenhouse gases. Recently, thermal plasma gas scrubbers have been gradually replacing conventional burn-wet type gas scrubbers which are based on the combustion of fossil fuels because high conversion efficiency and control of byproduct generation are achievable in chemically reactive high temperature thermal plasma. Chemical equilibrium composition at high temperature and numerical analysis on a complex thermal flow in the thermal plasma decomposition system are used to predict the process of thermal decomposition of fluorinated gas. In order to increase economic feasibility of the thermal plasma decomposition process, increase of thermal efficiency of the plasma torch and enhancement of gas mixing between the thermal plasma jet and waste gas are discussed. In addition, noble thermal plasma systems to be applied in the thermal plasma gas treatment are introduced in the present paper.

Desiccant cooling system is an air conditioning system that uses evaporative cooler to cool air and it can perform cooling by using heat energy only without electrically charged cooler. Thus, it can solve many problems of present cooling system including the destruction of ozone layer due to the use of CFC[chloro fluoro carbon] affiliated refrigerants and increase of peak power during summer season. In this study, cooling performance and exergy analysis was conducted in order to increase efficiency of desiccant cooling system. Especially, using exergy analysis based on the second law of thermodynamics can resolve the issue related to system efficiency in a more fundamental way by analyzing the cause of exergy destruction both in whole system and each component. The purpose of this study is to evaluate COP[coefficient of performance], cooling capacity and exergy performance of desiccant cooling system incorporating a regenerative evaporative cooler in various regeneration temperature and outdoor air conditions.

In this building, we never use the existing construction methods such as disassembly, destruction and newly construction to ensure the eco-friendly building and to decrease of waste disposal. We make customers feel newly by using minimum materials, pursuing the 'Best Design Using Lower Material' slogan and remodeling the building partially. The line is the most informal type one which is lack of intention. This line formation is harmonized with self-efficiency and completeness that are not required for unnecessary things, and simple unification which has not alternatives or obstacles.

As the 2-D hydraulic experimental results for the submerged rubble-mound structure, we have concerned with their stability/function characteristics of structures by the effects of wave force, scour/deposition at the toe and wave transmission ratio at the lee-side sea. And as to investigate the variation characteristics of wave transmission ratio which depended to a geometrical structure of the submerged breakwater profiles, the critical conditions for the depth of submergence and crest width obviously presented. In summary, there results lead us to the conclusions that the wave control capabilities of submerged breakwaters by the variation of the submergence depth is high about 4 time degrees at the efficiency than the that of crest width. The destruction of covering block at the crest generated at the region which located between maximum damage curve, it maximum damage/failure station from the toe of the structure were 0.2L. As the wave transmission coefficient and the slope of the structure increase, the damage/failure ratio and the maximum scour depth at the toe was extended, respectively. When maximum scour depth happened. The destruction of covering block which located at the toe generated at the front slope destruction. Finally, it was found from the results that the optimization of structure may be obtained by the efficiently decision of the submergence depth and crest width in the permissible range of wave transmission ratio.

The destruction study of $NF_3$ gas emitted from the semiconductor industry is performed with electron-beam technology. Absorbed dose (kGy) and current ranged from 0 (0) to 400 kGy (20 mA). The concentration of $NF_3$ gas ranged from 500 to 2,000 ppm. In order to assess the effect of a residence time on DRE (Destruction and Removal Efficiency, %), experiments also conducted at different irridiation times of 5 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec and 20 sec respectively. As absorbed dose and current increased, DRE of $NF_3$ was also increased. However, DRE (%) of $NF_3$ decreased with increasing the concentration of $NF_3$ gas. The DRE of $NF_3$ was about 90% at an absorbed dose of 400 kGy.

The Records and Archival Management System of Korean Government was founded in the early 1960s after the overall national structure reform and the implementation of the new administrative management technique, which boosted the efficiency of the way of conducting business, into the public administration, and Promoted in 1962, the records appraisal and destruction works included not only retention and destruction of official documents but also the development of efficient management and elimination systems for official documents to be produced in the future. and Korean government elaborated the appraisal system to stipulate the retention period on the basis of functional classification and documentary function.
