In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the shallower depth of the earth's crust is composed of loose dune or beach sand with soluble salts. The expansive behavior of salt bearing soil, fluctuation of ground water table and extreme environmental conditions offer a variety of geotechnical problems affecting safety and serviceability of the infrastructure built on it. Despite spending money, time and other resources on repair and rehabilitation, no significant attention is paid to explore the root causes of excessive differential settlement and cracking to these facilities. The scientific solution required to ensure safety and serviceability of the constructed infrastructure is to improve the strength and durability properties of the supporting ground. In this study, shredded plastic is employed as a low cost and locally available additive to improve strength characteristics of the desert sand. The study shows a remarkable increase in the shear strength and normal settlement of the soil. A seven (07) degree increase in angle of internal friction is achieved by adding 0.4 percent of the shredded plastic additive. The effect of different proportions and sizes of the plastic strips is also investigated to obtain optimum values. Such a long-lived solution will seek to reduce maintenance and repair costs of the infrastructure facilities laid on problematic soil along with reduction of environmental pollutants.

The wasted plastic PC/ABS retainer, polyurethane foam (PUF) and vinyl (PVC) skin. In order to investigate the recycling process, the multi-layered instrument panel Each of materials separated was shredded and crushed to create many small particles respectively. The separation of the foam and skin and retainer of zigzagged air blower. Pilot tests performed at the equipment yielded 98.8% by weight of the available PVC and 99.3% by weight of the available PC/ABS respectively. Secondly, the thermal stabilizer and the compatabilizer have been used to improve the physical propertied of recycled materials.. The properties of recycled PVC materials resulted in about 50% compared to that of virgin materials after treatment by Pb-St thermal stabilizer.

The disposal of polythene waste and fly ash is causing serious threat to the environment. Aim of this study is to decrease environmental pollution by using polythene waste and fly ash in concrete. In this study, cement was partially replaced with 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% fly ash (by weight) and plastic waste was added in shredded form at 0.6% by weight of concrete. The specimens were prepared for the concrete mix of M25 grade and water to cementitious material ratio (w/c) was maintained as 0.45. Fresh concrete property like workability was examined during casting the specimens. Hardened properties were found out by carrying out the experimental work on cubes, cylinders and beams which were cast in laboratory and their behavior under test were observed at 7 & 28 days for compressive strength and at 28 days for density, flexural strength, dynamic modulus of elasticity, abrasion resistance, water permeability and impact resistance. Overall results of this study show that addition of 0.6% (by weight of the concrete) plastic waste with 10% (by weight of cement) replacement of cement by fly ash result an improvement in properties of the concrete than conventional mix.

폐자동차 범퍼 파쇄물 재활용을 위하여 색채선별법을 도입하였다. 색채선별법은 기존의 비중, 입도 차이에 의한 선별이 어려운 물질을 색상 차이를 이용한 카메라와 영상 분석기법으로 분리하는 선별법이다. 본 연구에서는 반응표면법 중 BBD (Box-Behnken Design)를 적용하여 실험을 계획하고 최적 조건을 도출하였다. 색채민감도, 피드투입량 및 입자크기의 영향을 분석하였으며, 회귀분석과 통계적인 방법에 기초하여 2차 반응 모델을 획득하였다. $R^2$ 및 p-value는 각각 99.56%, < 0.001로 타당하였으며, 추정된 최적조건은 색채민감도 32%, 피드투입 200 kg/h, 입자크기 33 mm 조건에서 94.1%의 회수율이 나올 것으로 예측하였다. 실제 실험을 통한 회수율은 93.8%로 나타나 해당 모델이 적절함을 확인하였다.

The air separation of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) and PS(Polystyrene) was carried out by taking advantage of the different abrasive resistance of two plastics. PET bottles and PS packages were shredded to small square pieces $(5{\times}5mm)$. Both plastic shreds were treated by a shear-type crusher. The PET shreds were bent and twisted by the crush so that they were blown up easily, but the PS shreds were not. After the crush of mixture of both plastics, air separation experiments were carried out using four types of air separators. The number and location of the baffle attached to them are different. With the separator with a baffle attached at the upper part, PET recoveries for the crushing time of 30, 60 and 90sec were 67, 98 and 99% respectably at the air flow rate of 3.5m/s, whereas PS recoveries were null regardless of the crushing time.

A 5 ton/day pilot scale two-phase anaerobic digester was constructed and tasted to treat Korean food wastes in Anyang city. The process was developed based on 3 years of lab-scale experimental results on am optimim treatment method for the recovery of biogas and humus. Problems related to food waste are ever Increasing quantity among municipal solid wastes(MSW) and high moisture and salt contents. Thus our food waste produces large amounts of leachate and bed odor in landfill sites which are being exhausted. The easily degradable presorted food waste was efficiently treated in the two-phase anaerobic digestion process. The waste contained in plastic bags was shredded and then screened for the removal of inert material such as fabrics and plastics, and subsequently put into the two-stage reactors. Heavy and light inerts such as bones, shells, spoons and plastic pieces were again removed by gravity differences. The residual organic component was effectively hydrolyzed and acidified in the first reactor with 5 days space time at pH of about 6.5. The second, methanization reactor part of which is filled with anaerobic fillters, converted the acids into methane with pH between 7.4 to 7.8. The space time for the second reactor was 15 days. The effluent from the second reactor was recycled to the first reactor to provide alkalinities. The process showed stable steady state operation with the maximum organic rate of 7.9 $kgVS/m^3day$ and the volatile solid reduction efficiency of about 70%. The total of 3.6 tons presorted MSW containing 2.9 tons of food organic was treated to produce about $230m^3$ of biogas with 70% of methane and 80kg humus. This process is extended to full scale treating 15 tons of food waste a day in Euiwang city and the produced biogas is utilized for the heating/cooling of adjacent buildings.

국내 원자력 산업의 급속한 성장과 더불어 하나로 시설의 본격적인 가동 및 핵연료주기시험과 관련한 연구의 증가로 인하여 방사성폐기물의 발생량 및 누적량이 지속적으로 증가될 전망이며, 이에 따라 방사성폐기물의 안전성 확보 및 감용 처리를 위한 노력이 더욱 강조되고 있다. 조사후시험시설에서는 원자력발전소에서 발생하는 사용후핵연료봉의 결함원인 규명과 건전성 평가를 위한 조사후시험을 수행하고 있으며, 본 연구에서는 조사후시험시설에 설치되어 있는 방사성고체폐기물 처리설비를 활용하여 조사후시험에서 발생하는 폐기물의 압축, 파쇄, 절단기술 및 경험사례에 대하여 기술하였다. 고준위 방사성고체폐기물 처리는 특수 제작하여 핫셀에 설치되어 있는 100톤 압축기로 방사성고체폐기물을 압축하여 폐기물의 양을 1/12정도로 감용 처리하였으며, 중ㆍ저 위 방사성고체폐기물은 인터벤션에 설치된 60톤 압축기를 사용하여 가연성폐기물을 1/8정도로 압축 감용 처리하였다. 폐플라스틱 통은 파쇄기를 사용하여 절단처리 함으로써 1/5, 폐 필터는 1/6의 감용 비를 얻었으며, 비 가연성물질인 금속류 물질 또한 절단 처리하여 드럼의 양을 줄일 수 있었다.

It is well known that PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is a complex mixture of various metals mixed with various types of plastics and ceramics. In this study, high temperature pyre-metallurgical process was investigated to extract valuable metallic components from the PCB scrap. For this purpose, PCB scrap was shredded and oxidized to remove plastic materials, and then, quantitative analyses were made. After the oxidation of the PCB scrap, $30.6wt\%SiO_2,\;19.3wt\%Al_2O_3\;and\;14wt{\%}CaO$ were analyzed as major oxides, and thereafter, a typical composition of $32wt\%SiO_2-20wt\%Al_2O_3-38wt{\%}CaO-10wt\%MgO$ was chosen as a basic slag system for the separation of metallic components. Moreover a size effect of crushed PCB scrap was also investigated. During experiments a high frequency induction furnace was used to melt and separate metallic components. As a result, it was found that the size of oxidized PCB scrap was needed to be less 0.9 m to make a homogeneous liquid slag and to recycle metallic components over $95\%$.

재활용선별시설에서 파봉공정은 연계된 선별공정을 위한 필수 공정으로 주로 인력에 의한 작업과 일부 기계식 파봉장치가 도입되었다. 그러나, 기계식 파봉장치의 경우 재활용 대상폐기물을 파쇄하여 선별효율의 저하 및 폭발 등 작업자의 안전문제가 자주 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 파봉 방식의 문제점을 해결 할 수 있는 회전칼날팔각드럼식 파봉 정량공급 장치를 개발하여 성능평가 및 환경성 검토를 통한 현장 적용 가능성 평가를 수행하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 처리용량은 드럼회전수 8.2 rpm, 벨트컨베이어 속도 1.25 m/min에서 5.6 ton/hr로 설계용량인 5.0 ton/hr를 만족하였으며, 최대 처리용량은 8.8 ton/hr으로 나타났다. 봉투 속 봉투의 파봉효율은 95.6% 및 겉봉투의 경우에는 100%로 나타났으며, 특히 재활용대상폐기물 중 가장 쉽게 파손되는 유리병의 원형보존율은 약 96.5%로 정가되었다. 본 장치의 소음, 진동 및 비산먼지 농도 등에 대한 환경성 정토결과 환경오염배출허용 법적기준치를 모두 만족하는 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서, 본 파봉장치를 재활용선별시설에 적용할 경우 기존의 인력파봉과 기계식파봉에서 발생되었던 문제점을 크게 개선할 수 있다.
