For managing and utilizing a closed municipal solid waste landfill site in environmentally secure conditions, it is necessary to verify the stabilization level of landfill gas(LFG) and waste. For assessing LFG and waste stabilization of an open-dumping municipal solid waste landfill (Salmi Landfill) which is located at the vicinity of Chungju Reservoir which flows into Paldang Reservoir that has been used for Seoul Metropolitan water supplies, the history and the surrounding characteristics of the landfill site were surveyed. In this study, waste and LFG samples obtained from landfill site were physically and chemically analyzed, and then the analysis results were evaluated on the basis of 'The Criteria of Landfill Waste Stabilization(CLWS)' that were promulgated by Korean Ministry of Environment. Based on LFG composition of Salmi landfill, $CH_4$ was as high as 68%. In CLWS regulation, the stabilization criteria of $CH_4$ should be lower than 5%, and the criteria of C/N ratio should also be lower than 1/10. The result showed that C/N ratio of landfilled waste ranged 17.4~24.7. From this results, it was concluded that the LFG and C/N ratio stabilization level of this landfill based on the CLWS were still actively proceeding.

This is the study for recycling waste foundry sand. Authors studied about main subject of grading of aggregate and three experimental items such as physical properties of waste foundry sand, optimum grading for concrete products of low water ratio, and quality variations of concrete products according to substitution proportion of fine aggregate as waste foundry sand. We were convinced of following results by experimental study. The first was that waste foundry sand was not fit as the aggregate for concrete because of bad qualities such as grading, unit weight, solid volume and passing 0.08 mm seive, so it is proper to composition using with other fine aggregetes. The second was that optimum grading is fineness modulus of 2.77 to 3.28 And the last is that optimum condition about substitution proportion as waste foundry sand is 10% fine aggregate.

The purposes of this study were to quantify and compare the kind and amount of solid waste generated in two school foodservice operations located in urban and rural areas. A waste stream analysis was conducted to quantify and characterize the kind of waste in the production and service parts of each operation. The SPSS 10.0 for window was used for data analysis. Non-parametric test (Mann-Whitney) was adopted to determine if significant differences exist in amounts of waste generated in the urban school and the rural school. An average of 415 meals, including 43 adult meals, were served daily in the urban school, while an average of 177 meals, including 24 adult meals, were served daily in the rural school. Food waste generated in the production part in the urban school composed approximately 87% and 45%, while that in the rural school composed 71% and 28% by weight and volume, respectively. Waste per meal was not significantly different between the urban school and the rural school in the production part except the cardboard waste. The total waste per meal at lunch was 154g or 465m1 in the urban school and 51g or 334m1 in the rural school. Students in the urban school discarded significantly more food waste and milk than students in the rural school did. The research results suggest that school foodservice dietitians should evaluate the acceptability of menu items based on food waste per meal, and assess the feasibility of implementing a plan for recycling packaging waste and composting organic waste.

The rice hull could be the one of the most abundant agricultural waste in Korea. Since the efficient utilization of agricultural waste or byproducts of food industry would be critical for the sustainable growth, this study conducted the investigation of the chemical composition and the morphological properties of rice hull and rice hull fiber. It was found that there was big difference between the outer surface and the inner surface in the chemical composition and the morphological properties. Expecially, the outer surface showed the rugged patterns in which most of silica of rice hull existed. Little or no silica was found in the inner surface and rice hull fiber. The average fiber length of rice hull fiber was 0.45mm which was shorter than that of hardwood fiber. Rice hull fiber showed a round long shape which is typical shape of non-wood fibers

The present study discusses about the combustion and thermal flow characteristics of a G+R type incinerator, which is under construction for MAPO Incineration system, to evaluate the effects of various operating and design parameters. A bed combustion model is developed to simulate the waste bed combustion on the stoker. The effects of waste composition and primary air distribution are estimated. The results of the waste bed combustion model is applied to CFD(computational fluid dynamics) simulation, which simulates the detail of the thermal flow in the combustion chamber. The effects of bypass damper opening ratio, primary air distribution, and secondary air jet configuration are discussed.

Four strains of yeasts were chosen from those isolated previously, and a strain from 160 isolates collected in this year were examined for the treatment of pulp waste liquor. Experiments about optimum nutrient condition, composition of cells, and reduction of B.O.D. on the "S" pulp industry waste liquor were performed with 5 strains. 1. The isolates(strain 112) was identified as Candida utilis. 2. The optium concentration of 4 components of nutrients were ($NH_4$)$SO_2$lg/l, yeast extract 70mg/l, $KH_2PO_4$ 300mg/l, and $MgSO_4{\ddot}7H_2O$ 500mg/l. 3. Specific growth ratio of Candida utilis KYRI 112 was 0.48/hr at optimum nutrient media and the yield was 0.45%(V/V). 4. Endomycopsis capsularis KYRI 613 contained more crude protein than the most of commercial yeasts. 5. The B.O.D. of waste liquor was reduced ro 20% of its value by the culture.e culture.

Polarization measurements were peformed to investigate the electrochemical behavior of copper ions and limiting current density in waste rinse water from copper electroplating processes. A newly designed cyclone type electrolyzer was tested to recover the copper powder. Synthetic solutions were prepared using analytical grade $CuSO_4$ to the desired waste water concentration and pH was adjusted with $H_2$$SO_4$. Electrowinning was peformed at room temperature and the solution was cycled with a pump. Results showed that more than 99 percent of Cu was recovered and the size of the recovered Cu powder ranges from 0.1 - $0.5\mu\textrm{m}$. The chemical composition of the Cu powder mainly consists of $Cu_2$O and Cu and can be easily reduced to pure Cu powder.

In the automotive industry, such as scrap metal and plastic scrap process is being recycled. Although the glass beads are used as road paving or other additives and processing crushing, recycling is known that there are limits. The utilization of waste glass was evaluated as a concrete admixture by using powder characteristics and chemical composition of the glass. As a result of using waste-glass powder as an admixture, it is difficult to expect the pozzolanic effect, but it is found that it can increase the fluidity of concrete and ensure the durability performance in the appropriate amount range.

This study presents a method to predict plant-specific and operational history dependent scaling factors. Realistic and detailed approaches are taken to find scaling factors at reactor coolant. This approach begins with fission product release mechanisms and fundamental release properties of fuel-source nuclide such as fission product and transuranic nuclide. Scaling factors at various waste streams are derived from the predicted reactor coolant scaling factors with the use of radionuclide retention and build up model. This model makes use of radioactive material balance within the radioactive waste processing systems. According to input parameters of plant operation history, scaling factors predicted at reactor coolant and waste streams are well brought out the effects of plant operation history.
