The amount of food waste and its water content depends on both the season and region. In particular, the water content typically varies between 73.8 wt.% and 83.3 wt.%, depending on the proportion of vegetables. Current food waste drying technologies are capable of reducing the water content to less than 10 wt.%, while increasing the heating value. Ongoing studies aim to utilize dried food waste as fuel. Food waste can be used to produce solid refuse fuel (SRF) by mixing it with various solid fuels or other types of waste. The analysis of specimens is very important when considering the direct combustion of food waste or its co-firing with solid fuels. In this study, the weight reduction of specimens after burning them in a small combustor, and compared with the results of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The concentration of various chemicals was also measured to define the characteristics of waste generation. Performed proximate analysis, elemental analysis, TGA, combustion experiment, the heating value, and derivative thermogravimetry (DTG).

This study was conducted to evaluate the characteristics of mesophilic fermentative $H_2$ production from food waste which was treated by food waste disposer. It was found that $H_2$ yield and lag phase were affected by particle size of food waste. The $H_2$ yield decreased with increasing particle size while lag phase increased. The maximum $H_2$ yield was found $0.584{\pm}0.03$ mol $H_2$/mol hexose at particle size smaller than 0.30 mm. The $H_2$ production rate was also affected by chemical composition of food waste. The $H_2$ production rate linearly decreased with increasing proteins to carbohydrates ratio(P/C ratio) where the maximum value was $0.031{\pm}0.006$ mol $H_2$/mol hexose h at 0.17.

This study was performed to assets the operating characteristics of food waste composting and co-composting (food waste + sewage sludge) at a compelling facility. The facility was being operated successfully without being affected by kind of composting feed materials. Partial anaerobic condition was detected during food waste composting and co-com-posting, but these two composting systems were proven to be operated successfully under aerobic condition from the monitoring results of $O_2$, volatile solids reduction rate, temperature, and other parameters. The conductivity and chloride concentrations of compost were gradually increased during two composting periods, but the conductivity and chloride concentrations of co-compelling indicated lower values than those of food waste composting at final point(40 m). As a result, co-composting was turned out to be more desirable than food waste composting, considering salt problem. High correlations ($R^2$= 0.9265 for food waste composting and $R^2$= 0.9685 for co-composting) between CEC and volatile organic matter were found. Quality of composts produced from two composting process satisfied Korean heavy metal standard.

산업사회의 발달과 더불어 지속적으로 증가되고 있는 음식물류 폐기물은 현재 여러 가지 방법으로 재활용되고 있다. 본 연구는 국내 음식물류 폐기물의 처리현황을 조사하고, 음식물류 폐기물 감량의무사업장으로 분류되어 있는 전국공영농산물도매시장을 대상으로 음식물류 폐기물의 합리적인 사업화를 위한 재활용 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다. 국내 음식물류 폐기물 처리업체 분포는 경기지역이 39.5%로 가장 많았으며 그 외 지역은 10% 이내로 나타났다. 이중 공공처리시설이 38.0% 이었고 민간처리시설이 62.0%이었다. 그리고 재활용 방법은 사료화가 47.5%, 퇴비화는 36.4%, 기타 12.6% 등의 순으로 나타났다. 특히 2011년 이후로는 혐기성소화의 비율이 5.4%로 뚜렷한 성장세를 나타내고 있다. 따라서 향후 음식물류 폐기물의 재활용 방향이 정부 정책과 부합되는 혐기성 소화방법으로 전환되고 있음을 나타내고 있다. 전국 33개 공영 농산물 도매시장의 전체 거래량 중 서울가락시장, 서울강서시장, 대구시장, 부산엄궁시장, 구리시장이 각각 34.67, 7.47, 6.98, 5.41, 5.30% 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 농산물 거래량 대비 평균 음식물류 폐기물 처리량은 2.65% 이었다. 특히, 2006년 농림수산식품부의 무 및 배추의 포장화 정책으로 서울가락시장의 음식물류 폐기물 처리량은 1/3으로 감소하였다. 전국 공영 농산물 도매시장의 음식물류 폐기물 처리방법은 2010년 탈수가 56.3%, 원상반출이 33.7%, 탈수 후 건조가 10.0%로 탈수처리가 가장 높게 나타났다. 그러나 2013년 원상반출이 56.30%, 탈수 37.5%, 탈수 후 건조가 6.3%로 원상반출이 급증하였는데 이는 전체 거량이 가장 많은 서울 가락동시장이 원상반출 처리량이 증가하였기 때문이다. 농산물 도매시장의 음식물류 폐기물은 수분함량(평균 88%)이 높고 염분함량(평균 0.02%)이 낮은 특성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 농산물 도매시장의 음식물류 폐기물은 원상반출 및 탈수 보다는 탈수 후 건조가 처리능력을 향상 시킬 수 있는 것으로 판단된다. 그리고 탈수 후 건조된 음식물류 폐기물은 양질의 퇴비화 원료를 활용할 수 있기 때문에 농산물 도매시장의 음식물류 폐기물은 탈수 후 건조하여 퇴비화 방법으로 재활용사업화를 추진하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

The food wastes from a refectory and an eating house were heated in domestic microwave oven(700W) equipped with a fan and the drying rates and destruction of microorganisms were investigated. The drying rate was decreased with the size of food waste and the food wastes in polypropylene basket were dried faster than that on glass dish. The rate was increased with lower initial moisture content. Death rate of microorganisms was also decreased with the size of food waste. Ninety eight percent of reduction in viable cell numbers for the 400g of food waste could be achieved in 240sec of microwave irradiation. The growth of microorganisms in food wastes after microwave irradiated was observed at $32^{\circ}C$ and 95% relative humidity after 7days and the cell numbers in microwave irradiated food wastes were found to be 1/2 ~ 1/20 of the numbers in untreated wastes in accordance with the mass and the length of exposed time to microwave. To minimize the moisture and microorganisms in food wastes, the use of microwave oven are recommended.

This study is conducted to examine the ways to reduce the garbage amount by effective recycling food wastes in the cooking. The data is collected from 864 housewives who live in Seoul/Sungnam/Choongju by using questionnaires from 24 November 1997 to 5 January 1998. The results are as follows; The level of their needs of reusing food wastes in the cooking is high but the level of their participation and its satisfaction to reuse housewives is low. Especially they take part in reusing the garbage in pre-treatment less than edibile plate wastes. These factors result from lacking of their consciousness and knowledge of methods to reuse food wastes. Therefore it is said that consumer should make an effort themselves to participate in reusing food waste researcher should search the way to efficiently reuse the food waste and government should found the policy to provide information and education program for reusing food waste. The more seriously they perceive food waste reuse the mo e they want the way to accelerate food waste reuse by consumer researcher and government.

This article deal with an overview of food waste treatment methods in Korea. Garbage trucks are operated manually by garbage workers who pick up the food wastes after food waste is placed in plastic bags by the road sides. However, there are a lot of problems such as, the smell from the split bags and the leachate, the loss of much energy and the complaints regarding the establishment new rubbish tips from the residents in the surrounding area. It also highlights our society's waste of resources. Although the new pneumatic waste transfer system or the dry method seem to have improved some of the environmental conditions, it still bears some problems, for example, the lack of reuse and recycling of resources and the economic problems. We have been analysed the advantages and disadvantages between the existing food waste system and the pneumatic waste transfer system. And the dry method and disposer were discussed. The results will indicate how the disposer can improve more than the existing systems and will provide the evidence to support.
