The concern of environmental problems by using coolant required the recycling technologies of used coolant and development of environmental-firiendly coolant Some methods have been developing. Those are the dry grinding with compressed cold air and grinding with misted coolant. The farmer is effective in the cooling effect, but has not the performance of lubrication. Otherwise, the latter can satisfy both of them and also decrease the environmental pollution. This paper tried to analyze the cooling effect and surface integral of coolant, compressed cold air, mist through measuring the temperature of grind point and grinding force. Especially, the grinding method with misted coolant according to parameters was done. So, the finding method with misted coolant proved to be effective as one of methods to decrease the environmental pollution.

Recently, by the whole world paradigm shift to "Low Carbon Green Growth", it is required to renovate National Transportation and Logistics System. Transportation accounts for 21% of the total energy consumption and 20% of the total $CO_2$ emission, and also places its main reliance on fossil fuels. From green point of view, electric railway system is superior to the other transportation alternatives, but also required to develop the innovative technologies for high efficiency and low energy consumption. In this paper, the concept of railway green operation system by regenerative synchronized driving is presented, including the numerical example and the estimated effect.

The luminance properties of FFL(Flat Fluorescent Lamp) backlights have been investigated in detail for the first time. The on-axis luminance gain as well as viewing-angle characteristics on various combinations of optical films were obtained from FFL backlight and compared to the results of conventional CCFL(cold-cathode fluorescent lamps) backlights. It was found that the on-axis luminance gains achieved by using optical films in the FFL backlight were lower than those in the CCFL backlight indicating that the recycling processes occurring between optical films and light sources/reflection sheet are not so effective in the FFL backlight due to the much larger area of, and thus higher absorption probability of the FFL. This result suggests that new optical films should be developed for FFL backlight and other flat-lamp backlight technologies.

In present work, manufacturing technologies of titanium hydride powder were studied for recycling of titanium tuning chip and for this, attrition ball milling was carried out under $H_2$ pressure of 0.5 MPa. Ti chips were completely transformed into $TiH_2$ within several hundred seconds. Dehydrogenation process $TiH_2$ powders is consist of two reactions: one is reaction of $TiH_2$ to $TiH_x$ and the other decomposition of $TiH_x$ to Ti and $H_2$. The former reaction shows relatively low activation energy and it is suggested that the reaction is caused by introduction of defects due to milling.

The objective of ECMS(Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing Systems) is to consider environmental effects through the entire product life cycle from product development stage to design, manufacturing, supplying, using and disposing stage. Recently, environment-oriented recycling, reusing and manufacturing technologies have been researched actively in every engineering fields. In the field of chemical engineering, HHS(Health Hazard Scores) which classifies and analyzes hazardous materials in production processes has been presented. Metal cutting processes also have a lot of harmful factors, and especially hazardous components in cutting fluids have been known to have a bad effect on workers and working area. However, research works such as HHS have been little accomplished in metal cutting processes. In this research, a environmentally conscious machining process is presented by classifying hazardous components in cutting fluids, by using LCA(Life Cycle Assessments) and HHS method, and by evaluating environmental effects from cutting fluids.

Since 1997, the Republic of Korea (ROK) has been developing pyro-processing (Pyro) technology to reduce the disposal burden of high-level radioactive waste by recycling spent nuclear fuel (SNF). Compared to plutonium and uranium extraction process, Korean Pyro technology has relatively excellent proliferation resistance that cannot separate pure plutonium owing to its intrinsic characteristics. Regarding Pyro technology development of ROK, the Bush administration considered that Pyro is not reprocessing under the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership, whereas the Obama administration considered that Pyro is subject to reprocessing. However, the Bush and Obama administrations did not allow ROK to conduct full Pyro activities using SNF, even though ROK had faithfully complied with international nonproliferation obligations. This is because the US nuclear nonproliferation policy to prevent the spread of sensitive technologies, such as enrichment and reprocessing, has a strong effect on ROK, unlike Japan, on a bilateral level beyond the NPT regime for non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.

A lot of researches have been carried out on the recovery of resources from the seawater all over the world. The boron concentration in seawater is low about at 4.5ppm, but considering the volume of seawater, the total weight of dissolved boron amounts to about 5.4 trillion tons. The boron is an essential resource in about 300 kinds of industries. Korea has imported all of the boron and spent more than 700 billion won each year. In this article, we introduce the domestic and international research trends and technologies for removing or recovering the boron from wastewater and seawater. Most of the researches have been conducted to remove the boron from the desalination process, and to recover the boron mainly from wastewater and brine. The technique for the recovery of the dissolved boron includes the ion exchange, which is the most representative, the adsorption membrane filtration (AMF), solvent extraction, and so on.

The production of bioethanol, which is one of the alternative fuel, cause the various problem such as agflation in human society. As a substitute for the feedstock, lignocellulosic biomass have a big potential. However, bioethanol production with cellulosic material is not commercialized due to high cost. Thermochemical pretreatment to improve the rate of enzyme hydrolysis and increase the recovery of fermentable sugar, is required in order to achieve the cost down in bioethanol production. In this study, various problems and technologies for pretreatment is introduced. Acid hydrolysis, alkali hydrolysis, steam explosion, organosolv process, ammonia explosion, and wet oxidation pretreatment remove lignin and hemicellulose, and reduce cellulose crystallinity. Optimization of pretreatment process on various sources of lignocellulosic biomass such as softwood, hardwood, and straw should be performed.

현재 우리나라에서만 연간 약 26만들이 발생되고 있는 농업용 폐비닐은 재생원료로 재활용되어지면 국내외에서 그 용도가 매우 많으나 멀칭용으로 사용되었던 폐비닐은 그 오염도가 워낙 심하여 쉽게 재활용할 수 없는 처지이다. 즉 공급과 수요는 많으나 재생기술의 한계가 병목으로 작용하고 있는 현실이다. 따라서 간단하고 경제적인 방법으로 재활용할 수 있는 습식 및 건식 재생기술의 개발이 계속되어 요구되어 왔다. 강제 세척, 회전분리, 열풍 건조 및 압착성형을 이용한 새로운 간이습식공정을 통하여 멀칭용 농업용 폐비닐을 순도 95% 이상의 탄화 및 열화가 적은 압착 펠렛을 경제적으로 제조할 수 있었다. 이들의 재생 수지는 인장강도 $168.6{\pm}3.9kgf/cm^2$, 파단신을 315.8%, 인장탄성을 $2,551.8{\pm}50.1kgf/cm^2$, 굴곡강도와 굴곡탄성을 $166.7{\pm}7.4kgf/cm^2,\;5,716.2{\pm}242.2kgf/cm^2$ 그리고 충격강도는 $49.2kgf\;cm/cm$을 각각 보여 연질수지로써 기능하기 위한 충분한 성능을 보유하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이들의 응용분야 확대를 위하여 fly ash 및 탄산칼슘을 배합하여 이들의 물성변화를 살폈다.

It comtained various kinds of heavy metal in beneficiatian tailing and in order to eliminate the heavy metals, various technologies have been researched, But there are a limits because many problems and restrictions are accompanied. Therefore, in this study, in order to solve this problem, It was performed gravity separation using melti-gravity seperator (MGS) to remove As contained in tailing, which can sort out even the fine particle. It was attempted a study to remove As, which is a kind of heavy metals, by MGS gravity separation and verified the impact by slope, wash water, pulp density, rotational speed and feed rate. In the results of performing gravity concentration under the condition with the MGS slope of $3^{\circ}$, wash water of 5 l/mm, pulp density of 30%, rotational speed of 208 rpm, and the feed rate of 265.24 g/mm, the As removal rate of 88.21% and yield of 92.25% were obtained.
