The yield is increasing as the manufacturing technology of ceramics progresses, however, there are many ceramics of poor quality due to variables upon producing ceramics. Some of those waste ceramics are recycled by sanitary ware or tile manufacturers, but most of them are filled in making environmental problem. Therefore, a research begins to recycle waste ceramic ware as alternative to some imported ceramic ware materials and to reduce environmental pollution. This study, succeeding last study which applied waste white ware as ceramic body material, aimed to solve problems of environment and materials by recycling waste ceradon generated in specially formed areas for ceramic in Gyeonggi-do such as Icheon, Yeoju and Gwangju as the ceramic body material. Consequently, the addition of waste ceramic ware into the ceramic body was judged to have limit up to 30% according to plasticity measurement. As we added shredded waste ceramic ware as much as 30% into basic ceramic body and checked its features, the pore rate and absorption rate were good to be average 4% and 3% respectively. In addition, it showed strength more than 720 kgf/$cm^2$ which is higher than existing ceradon body on the market with good sinter state; so it is judged to be available or developed as new ceramic body.

A series of experiments were performed to study the influence of the following parameters on the physical traits and composition of swine manure compost: (1) addition of magnesium (Mg) at a molar ratio of 1.2 with respect to $PO_4$, and (2) reutilization of compost containing $MgNH_4PO_4{\cdot}6H_2O$ (magnesium ammonium phosphate, MAP). Three independent batch tests were conducted for replication: batch test I-control (C) and Mg added (T), batch test II-C, T and compost recycle ($T_{R1}$), and batch test III-C, T and compost recycle ($T_{R2}$). Magnesium addition and compost reutilization had no adverse effect on the degradation of organic matter. Reuse of the compost, however, had a clear effect on the total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) contents in the final compost. Repeated compost reutilization as a bulking material was resulted in composts rich in N and P. Upon adding the Mg supplement to the composting materials, the ortho-phosphate (OP) to TP ratio decreased due to the MAP crystallization reaction. The decrease in the OP/TP ratio and the increase in the TP content of the compost indicate that water-soluble phosphate is converted into a slow-release phosphate by the formation of crystals during composting. X-ray diffraction analysis of the irregular shaped crystals in the compost indicated that they are MAP crystals and that the crystallization of MAP begins immediately after the addition of the Mg supplement. The Mg addition to composting materials and the reutilization of compost as a bulking material would be a practical means to conserve nutrient content.

Pump cap is a product that is widely used due to its ease of use and simple operation. These pump caps are applied to heterogeneous functional cosmetics and are being developed as dual pump caps. However, the conventional dual pump cap has a problem in that it is inconvenient to use and leakage occurs. In addition, it is formed of a plurality of materials, and there is a problem that is difficult to recycle. Lately, since the problem of environmental pollution is getting serious, the dual pump cap, which is difficult to recycle, cannot be used. Currently, eco-friendliness has been considered in Korea, and there are no dual pump cap containers with excellent sealing performance. Therefore, in this study, a dual pump cap container made of eco-friendly material was designed. In addition, finite element analysis was performed to verify the design feasibility of the product.

최근, 국내에서 MBT(Mechanical Biological Treatment) 처리시설이 건설되어 운영 중에 있으며, 생활폐기물 등이 분리선별되어 재활용되고 있다. 그러나, 생활폐기물의 입도가 불균질하고, 분리선별을 하기 위해서 일정입도 이하로 파쇄하여야 하므로 운영상의 문제점이 발생하게 된다. 또한, 생활폐기물내 유기성분의 분리선별이 어려워서, 재활용 물질의 이용이 어려운 실정이라 이에 대한 대책이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 1ton/batch 규모의 반응기에 과열증기를 사용하여 각 반응인자에 따른 생활폐기물 분리선별 효율을 파악하였으며, 유기성분 분해에 따른 생활폐기물 입도특성의 변화를 고찰하였다.

This research work aims to develop an optimal design using Finite Element (FE) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) methods to replace the traditional concrete and timber material by a Synthetic Polyurethane fibre glass composite material in railway sleepers. The conventional timber railway sleeper technology is associated with several technical problems related to its durability and ability to resist cutting and abrading action of the bearing plate. The use of pre-stress concrete sleeper in railway industry has many disadvantages related to the concrete material behaviour to resist dynamic stress that may lead to a significant mechanical damage with feasible fissures and cracks. Scientific researchers have recently developed a new composite material such as Glass Fibre Reinforced Polyurethane (GFRP) foam to replace the conventional one. The mechanical properties of these materials are reliable enough to help solving structural problems such as durability, light weight, long life span (50-60 years), less water absorption, provide electric insulation, excellent resistance of fatigue and ability to recycle. This paper suggests appropriate sleeper design to reduce the volume of the material. The design optimization shows that the sleeper length is more sensitive to the loading type than the other parameters.

채석장으로부터 원석을 채취하여 건축석재 및 쇄석골재 등으로 가공하는 과정에서 원석의 약 60% 정도가 폐석이나 석분토로 손실되고 있다. 이 중에서 폐석의 일부만이 도로포장용 쇄석골재로 활용되고 있을 뿐 대부분의 석분토는 석재의 가공이나 파쇄공정에서 분말형태로 물에 혼입되어 슬러지탱크에 침전되게 된다. 이러한 석분토가 방류되거나 살포되면 지표나 지중의 공극들이 메워져 지표수의 지중침투, 지하수의 흐름, 공기의 소통 등이 원활하게 이루어지지 않아 생태계에 악영향을 끼칠 수도 있다. 현행 우리나라 폐기물관리법(2003)에 따르면 석분토가 사업장 내에서 발생되는 산업폐기물로 분류되고 있어 대부분을 지중에 매설하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 석분토의 물성 및 공학특성을 개량하여 효율적 재활용방안의 수립이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 국내 채석장에서 발생되는 석분토의 개량 및 재활용 가능성을 분석하기 위해 6개 채석장으로부터 시험용 석분토 및 원지반토를 채취한 후, 이를 일정한 비율의 배합비로 제작한 혼합토를 대상으로 여러 토질시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과를 토대로 도로용 재료로서 석분토의 개량 및 재활용 가능성을 검토하였다.

하수를 정화하는 과정에서 발생하는 슬러지는 과거 주로 매립되어 왔으나, 2003년 유기성 슬러지의 매립금지라는 폐기물 관리법이 개정됨에 따라 최근에는 주로 해양투기 되어왔다. 그러나 '런던협약 96의정서'에 의해 2011년부터 해양투기도 금지될 예정이어서, 세계 각국은 슬러지의 다양한 처리방법에 대해 노력하고 있다. 우리나라도 예외 없이, 하수슬러지의 합리적인 처리방법을 찾기 위해 현재 많은 전문가들이 노력하고 있으며, 그중 하나가 재생 에너지화이다. 슬러지의 재생 에너지화의 성패는 친환경적이고 경제적인 건조방법에 달려 있다 해도 과언이 아니다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 영동군에서 발생하고 있는 하수슬러지를 재생에너지화하기 위해, 슬러지의 화학적 특성을 분석하여 에너지화 가능성을 검토하고, 마이크로파를 물과 슬러지에 각각 조사하여 슬러지의 건조 특성과 효율성 등을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 영동군하수 슬러지는 중금속 성분이 매우 적고 열량이 3,370kcal/kg 이상으로 재생에너지화하기에 적당함을 확인하였다. 또한, 마이크로파에 의한 슬러지 건조 특성을 분석한 결과, 슬러지 중량 대비 시간의 곡선은 투입 슬러지 량에 관계없이 늘어진 S자 형태의 거동특성을 보임은 물론 그 기울기가 일정함을 확인하였다. 또한, S 곡선을 변곡점 기준으로 세 영역으로 나눌 경우 두 번째 영역에서 건조가 가장 많이 일정하게 발생하며, 전체 건조량의 약 80% 이상임도 확인하였다. 본 결과는 향후 마이크로파를 이용한 full-scale 건조공정에서 투입 슬러지 대비 슬러지 건조량을 예측하는데 적용할 수 있다. 또한 본 실험 결과에 의하면, 마이크로파에 의한 건조능력이 약1.0kg/kW 이상을 보이고 있어 경제성도 갖고 있음을 확인하였다.

The world has faced with various environmental problems such as climatic change, global pollution, and depletion of natural resources. Conventional economic development continues not only to intensify the magnitude of the problems but also to damage growth potential of future generations. Therefore, recent manufacturers are highly required to accommodate themselves to sustainable development that aims at preventing the loss to the future generations. Moreover, the manufacturers are under heavy pressure from various environmental regulations. This paper proposes green bill of material (Green-BOM) which conforms to the environmental regulations to restructure eco-friendly manufacturing system. Green-BOM is useful for managing green product and process information to satisfy several environmental regulations by recording energy consumption, recycle rate, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), substance information, and so on.

The compressed injection yellow ocher soil is the process-technology by drying the product through sunshine, not by firing like pottery and ceramic ware. It is the technology of development being able to achieve the far infrared ray and humidity adjustment by adding recycling paper, Korean paper and bamboo salt, and it corresponds with the construction enforcement ordinance 2007 as an interior-finishing product which is fire-resistant. In case that the yellow ocher soil would be used as lighting device and interior-finishing material and decoration, it could contribute to an improvement of National Health by avoiding the sick house syndrome and adding humidity adjustment, and it has more efficient economic effect due to using recycle-available additives. Through such developments of the yellow ocher soil products the domestic market of lighting device and construction material can be advanced and the replacement effect of imported goods & also export effect can be expected accordingly.
