The huge amount of solvents used in the semi-conductor and display industry typically result in waste of valuable solvents which often form complex azeotropic mixtures. This study explored a recovery process of a quaternary waste solvent, comprising methyl 2-hydroxybutyrate, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, ethyl lactate, and ethyl-3-ethoxy propionate. In this study, a novel shortcut column method with a graphical approach was exploited for the distillation column design of complex quaternary azeotropic mixtures. As a result, the proposed shortcut method and design procedure solved the complex separation paths successfully with less computational efforts while achieving all requirements for component purity.

A large amount of fuel is required for heating the agricultural facility house, and many farmhouses are experiencing the burden of heating costs due to the recent increase in fuel prices. This paper proposes a supply system that supports heating of agricultural facility houses located nearby by utilizing industrial chimney waste heat, and analyzes the application and effect of a heating cost reduction model. The system was designed based on the chimney waste heat system, and the facility house heating cost reduction model was applied and effect analysis was performed based on the proposed model. It was confirmed that the high-temperature waste heat from the chimney can be used to supply heating to facility houses in nearby farms. If heating is supplied to large-scale facility houses near industrial complexes, it is expected to contribute to improve productivity and competitiveness of domestic farms.

To enhance thermal efficiency of thermal facility through recovery of low and medium temperature waste heat, 1MW organic Rankine cycle system was designed and developed. The exhaust gases of $175^{\circ}C$ at two 100MW power plants in pohang steel works were selected as the representative of low and medium temperature waste heat in industrial process for the heat source of the organic Rankine cycle system. HCFC-123, a kind of harmless refrigerant, was chosen as the working fluid for Rankine cycle. The organic Rankine cycle system with selected exhaust gases and working fluid was designed and constructed. From the operation, it was confirmed that the organic Rankine cycle system is available for low and medium temperature waste heat recovery in industrial process. The optimum operating manuals, such as heat-up of hot water, turbine start-up, and the process of electric power generation, were derived. However, electric power generated was not 1MW as designed but only 670kW. It is due to deficiency of pump capacity for supply of HCFC-123. So it is necessary to increase the pump capacity or to decrease the pressure loss in pipe for more improved HCFC-123 supply.

This study focuses on the feasibility of bio-gas production using anaerobic digestion by measuring methane generation and biodegradability through the BMP test of industrial organic wastes. Organic wastes consist of entrails of pigs and organic residues of rumen generated from slaughter houses, wastewater sludge from slaughter waste water, fish offal and residues of vegetables from public wholesale markets, and wastewater sludge from the process of wastewater treatment in paper mill. The cumulative methane production by BMP test ranges from 149.3 ml/g-VS to 406.6 ml/g-VS and this is similar to methane generation of the normal wastewater sludge and food waste. As a result of measurement of biodegradability, wastewater sludge (S1 ~ S4) is low, ranging from 27.1% to 58.9 % and organic residues of rumen (G1) is low at 49.6 %. In conclusion, it turned out that raising the hydrolysis by various pre-treatments is necessary in order to produce bio-gas by using industrial organic wastes.

For solving the environmental problem of the waste EPDM and for new TPE blend materials, we developed a new kind of TPE material using a co-rotating twin screw extruder. To improve the mechanical properties of TPE material such as tensile strength, elongation at break, and modulus of the blend, PP and waste EPDM powder were blended with different screw configurations. The mechanical properties of the blends and morphology of the TPE were investigated. As the number of kneading disc and left-handed screw element increased, dynamic vulcanization of the material was increased because the shear stress and residence time of blends increased.

The interest on the recovery of thermal energy using the waste has been rising to solve the problems of continuous increase of waste generation and the depletion of the fossil fuel recently. The incineration has been used most popularly as a treatment process of the waste for the energy recovery. However, it is expected that incineration and design cost will increase in the treatment of air contaminant emitted from incinerator. This research has simulated the actual incinerator and the flue gas treatment system using the Aspen plus which is the software to simulate the chemical process. The incineration process is composed of the 1st and 2nd combustor to burn the waste, SNCR process to reduce the $NO_x$ using the urea, and the steam generation process to save the energy during incineration. The $Ca(OH)_2$ slurry was used as an acid gas (HCl, $SO_2$) treatment materials and the removal efficiency for the products from the neutralization of acid gas in SDA and combustion ash was simulated at the bag filter. The simulation result has been corresponded with the treatment efficiency of emitted gas from the actual industrial waste incinerator and it is presumed to be used to forecast the efficiencies of flue gas treatment system in the future.

Current semiconductor industry factories are relying on the end-of-pipe treatment technology for waste water treatment and thus they mostly suffer from severe industrial water shortage. As a result in order to solve those waste and industrial water problems, there requires to be changed to the Clean Technology, that is Pollution Prevention Technology. Through above strategic actions with the Clean Technology, we shall strength more powerful and logical environmental pollution prevention system than those in the past. By changing the end-of-pipe treatment technology for waste water treatment and thus they mostly suffer from severe industrial water problems, there requires to be changed to the Clean Technology, that is Pollution Prevention Technology. Through above strategic actions with the Clean Technology, we shall strength more powerful and logical environmental pollution prevention system than those in the past. By changing the end-of-pipe treatment technology with physical, chemical and biological treatment methods as a mixed stream basis for treating of semiconductor waste stream into clean technology with pollution prevention technology as a waste segregation basis, we can bet 20 to 30% investment reduction as compared with end-of-pipe treatment technology.The results for water quality analysis were as follows : 1. Water quality analysis of the before treatment : pH : 9~10.5, Conductivity : $300~7,000{\mu}s/cm$, TDS : more then $3,000mg/{\ell}$, COD : $200~250mg/{\ell}$, SS : $500~600mg/{\ell}$, n-H : $8.3mg/{\ell}$ 2. Water quality analysis of the after treatment : pH : 6.5~7.5, Conductivity : 0.059, TDS : $40{\mu}s/cm$, COD : $20mg/{\ell}$, SS : $5mg/{\ell}$ n-H : $0.6mg/{\ell}$

In recent years there has been a steady increase in geoenvironmental engineering research where geotechnical engineering has been combined with environmental concerns in the field of construction and industrial waste reusing in civil works. Many of these projects involve some investigation on the characteristics of geotechnical and environmental properties. In this study, investigation and test on the characteristics of demolished waste concrete was carried out to detect the physical, mechanical, and environmental properties for reusing as embankment and backfill materials in civil works.

In order to prospect current recycling status in Korea, wastes generation and recycling rate were reviewed. Approximately 188,600 ton/day of wastes was generated in 1998; 44,600 ton/day of domestic waste and 144,000 ton/day of industrial waste. During the last five years, waste management laws such as recycling law and environment friendly industry law were prepared. In this article, concerning over waste generation and recycling, the problems and technological developments associated with recycling were summarized.
