The importance of using materials cost effectively to enhance the strength and reduce the cost, and weight of earth fill materials in geotechnical engineering led researchers to seek for modifying the soil properties by adding proper additives. Lightweight fill materials made of soil, binder, water, and Expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads are increasingly being used in geotechnical practices. This paper primarily investigates the behavior of sandy soil, modified by EPS particles. Besides, the mechanical properties of blending sand, EPS and the binder material such as fly ash and cement were examined in different mixing ratios using a number of various laboratory studies including the Modified Standard Proctor (MSP) test, the Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) test, the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test and the Direct Shear test (DST). According to the results, an increase of 0.1% of EPS results in a reduction of the density of the mixture for 10%, as well as making the mixture more ductile rather than brittle. Moreover, the compressive strength, CBR value and shear strength parameters of the mixture decreases by an increase of the EPS beads, a trend on the contrary to the increase of cement and fly ash content.

Paper industry in Korea produces 14 million tons of paper and 1.3 million tons of sludge per year. Most of them has been treated by incineration, landfilling or ocean dumping. The sludge recycling to minimize the impact on the environment, so its importance is highlighted. In this study, in order to develop a new way of recycling the sludge, it was calcined and the recycled ash was tried to use as papermaking filler. Concerning the yield of calcium carbonate and the brightness and the rheology of the recycled calcination sludge, the optimum calcination conditions were found to be $600^{\circ}C$ and 12 hours. The sludge ash itself was not suitable for papermaking due to its color and low brightness. Thus the ash from the sludge was first mixed with a commercial filler and then utilized for papermaking. The effect of the increased hardness after high temperature treatment on wire abrasion was confirmed.

일반적으로 동슬래그를 콘크리트에 혼입하여 사용하는 경우, 동슬래그의 높은 자중으로 인한 블리딩의 증가로 경화 콘크리트의 압축강도 및 내구성의 저하가 유발된다. 본 연구에서는 산업부산물인 동슬래그를 잔골재의 대체골재로 사용하고자 하였는데 이에 따른 단점의 해소 및 자원 재활용 측면에서 플라이애쉬와의 병용 사용을 실시하였다. 본 연구 결과, 플라이애쉬의 혼입은 동슬래그만 단독으로 사용한 경우보다, 블리딩은 50%, 건조수축은 5%, 중성화 저항성은 30% 감소 및 압축강도는 10% 정도 향상 효과가 나타났다.

As the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increases, the reduction of CO2 is gaining worldwide attention. In the construction industry, cement replacement materials such as fly ash and blast furnace slag were investigated to reduce CO2 emissions in cement production process. Precast concrete is used in the field after manufacturing in the factory in the form of pipes and bricks because of shortening construction period and cutting construction cost. According to the results of previous research, it is known that early CO2 curing in concrete using OPC or fly ash has an initial strength enhancement effect and can be used for precast concrete production. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the strength improvement effect by confirming the initial strength improvement effect when blast furnace slag is mixed.

To recycle raw fly ash (RFA), a waste from thermal power plants, it was used to prepare solid catalysts which have many advantages compared with homogenous catalysts. When biodiesel was produced from soybean oil using RFA, only 1.2% of biodiesel conversion was obtained. A metal hydroxide, NaOH, KOH or $Ca(OH)_2$, was mixed with the acid-treated fly ash (ATFA), and the mixture was calcined at $700^{\circ}C$ for 3 h to prepare the solid catalyst. The solid catalyst prepared by mixing ATFA with NaOH, designated as SC-Na, showed a better performance than those prepared by mixing ATFA with KOH or $Ca(OH)_2$, respectively. The optimal mass ratio of ATFA with NaOH was 1:3, at which the proportion of $Na_2O$ increased to 60.2% in SC-Na, and 97.8% of biodiesel conversion was achieved under optimal reaction conditions (2 w% SC-Na relative to oil and 5 mL-methanol/g-oil at $50^{\circ}C$ for 4 h). Finally, a batch operation was repeatedly carried out to test the feasibility of reusing the solid catalyst, and more than 96% biodiesel conversion was stably achieved for the third round of operations. This study shows that RFA was successfully recycled to solid catalysts through a simple preparation method, and the solid catalyst was reused for the production of biodiesel with high conversion.

The rapid development of the construction industry in the world causes a rapid increase in the consumption of aggregate resources, which leads to the depletion of existing aggregate reserves. The use of recycled aggregate in the production of concrete and mortar may be a good solution to reduce the use of natural raw materials and to reduce demolition waste in the environment. In this study investigating the use of recycled aggregate in mortar production, mortar mixtures were produced by substituting 0%, 25%, 50% and 100% fine recycled aggregate (FRA) instead of natural aggregate. The effect of 20% and 40% fly ash (FA) substitutes on cement mortar performance was also investigated. Compressive and flexural strength, drying shrinkage, abrasion resistance, water absorption and capillary water absorption were investigated on the produced mortars. The increase in the use of FRA reduced the compressive and flexural strengths of mortars. While the capillarity coefficients, water absorption, rapid chloride permeability and drying shrinkage of the mortars increased with the increase in the use of FRA, the effect of the use of fly ash on the rate of increase remained lower. The increased use of FRA has improved abrasion resistance as well.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary inclusion of phytase on the growth performance, organ weight, and tibia ash of broilers. A total of 1008 one-day-old Ross 308 broiler chicks (mixed gender) with body weight 42 ± 0.90 g (mean ± SD) were used in a trial for 32 d. Chicks were assigned to one of the two treatment diets. Each treatment consisted of 28 replicate cages, with 18 birds per cage. The dietary treatments were as follows: CON, basal diet; TRT1, basal diet + phytase 1,500 Fan Terminal Unit (FTU)/kg diet. Dietary inclusion of 1,500 FTU/kg phytase supplementation in broilers showed only slight improvements in daily feed intake (P=0.086) and feed conversion ratio (P=0.065) on day 9 compared with that in the control group. However, organ weights of the breast muscle, liver, spleen, kidney, and bursa of Fabricius were not affected by the dietary treatments. In addition, the dietary inclusion of 1,500 FTU/kg phytase supplementation in the broiler diet had no effect on tibia ash. The addition of 1,500 FTU/kg phytase in the basal diet of broilers did not have any adverse effect on growth performance, organ weight, and tibia ash, suggesting that phytase supplementation in broiler diets will exhibit comparable effects as that of corn-soybean meal-based diet.

본 연구에서는 유리석회 함량이 다른 순환유동층 보일러 애시의 수화특성 및 탄산화 특성에 대해 조사하였다. 또한, free-CaO 함량이 높은 CFBC ash를 탄산화 양생 전처리를 하여 시멘트계 재료로의 활용 가능성을 살펴보았다. Free-CaO 함량이 높은 CFBC ash를 혼합한 경우 급결의 양상을 보였으며 낮은 초기 압축강도를 나타냈다. Free-CaO 함량이 높은 CFBC ash를 탄산화 양생하였을 때, 양생 기간에 따라 이산화탄소 포집량이 증가하였다. 또한, free-CaO 값이 함께 감소하였으며 free-CaO가 이산화탄소와 반응한 것으로 보인다. Free-CaO 함량이 높은 CFBC ash를 탄산화 양생 전처리를 한 경우 급결이 나타나지 않았으며, 초기 압축강도도 향상된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 연구 결과 free-CaO 함량이 높은 CFBC ash의 경우 적절한 탄산화 양생을 통해 시멘트계 재료로 활용 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다.

최근 해안을 따라 산업단지 등을 조성하기 위하여 해성점토로 이루어진 준설토를 활용한 매립공사가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 해성점토로 조성된 지반은 전단강도가 매우 작고 압축성이 크게되어 매립지반 위에 항만구조물, 도로 등 구조물을 시공하기 위해서는 지반개량이 필수적으로 수행되어야 한다. 또한 설계 당시 예측한 거동과 실제 발생하는 거동이 상이한 경우가 빈번히 발생하고 있다. 이와같은 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 지반 조성 시에 모래 등 양질의 토사를 이용하여야 하나 토사 부족 및 경제적인 문제로 인해 준설된 해성점토를 사용하는 경우가 대부분이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 석탄 화력발전소에서 발생하는 석탄회중 재활용되지 않고 매립되는 매립석탄회를 활용하여 준설토와 혼합하여 인공매립토를 조성하여 부지조성에 활용하고자 인공매립토의 역학적 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 이에따라, 점토와 매립석탄회 저회와 비회 혼합비율이 다른 인공매립토의 전단강도 특성을 살펴보았다. 실험에는 준설토를 대신하여 카올리나이트를 사용하였으며, 시료성형기를 이용하여 총 6종류의 인공매립토 지반을 조성하였으며, 전단강도 특성을 알아보기 위하여 삼축압축시험(CU TEST)을 수행하였다. 시험 결과, 매립석탄회의 혼합비율이 증가할수록 내부마찰각 증가, 점착력 감소, 간극수압계수(A)는 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 매립석탄회 저회와 비회의 혼합에 따라 저회 보다 비회가 전단강도 및 간극수압계수(A)에 미치는 영향이 적은 것으로 나타났다.
