재활용 고밀도 폴리에틸렌(HDPE)에 Perbutyl peroxide(PBP)를 첨가하여 반응 용융가공에 의한 가교 특성 및 물성 변화를 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 재활용 HDPE에 포함되어 있는 다양한 이물질의 성분을 EDS를 이용하여 분석하였으며 수지의 재활용 시 포함된 유, 무기물이 가교 반응에 영향을 미침을 확인하였다. 또한 물성 측정을 통해 재활용 가교 HDPE가 신재 HDPE와 비교하여 낮은 밀도, 용융엔탈피 그리고 높은 용융점도를 가짐으로 보아 상대적으로 신재 가교 HDPE에 비하여 가교가 더 잘 일어남을 알 수 있으며 이러한 재활용 HDPE의 가교 특성은 가교에 의한 재환용 HDPE의 기계적 물성 증가에 기여함을 확인하였다.

최근 친환경 소재, 특히 부산물을 활용한 연구가 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비료 제조 시 발생하는 공정 부산물인 석고(CaSO₄)를 고밀도 폴리에틸렌(High density polyethylene, HDPE)에 충전한 복합재료의 물성을 조사하였다. Co-rotating twin screw extruder를 이용하여 석고의 함량을 0~20 wt% 충전하여 복합재료를 제조하고 이의 기계적, 유변학적, 열적 특성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 인장강도는 미충전 HDPE 대비 4.1% 이하로 물성 저하가 크지 않다. 석고의 함량이 증가할수록 열적 안정성이 향상되었고 석고의 함량이 복합재료의 점도 특성에 거의 영향을 끼치지 않는 것을 확인하였다.

Liquid-phase catalytic degradation of waste high-density polyethylene (HDPE) over ZSM-5 (powder type (PW)) and ZSM-5+binder (granule type (GR)) has been investigated with a stirred semi-batch operation at 400°C. Two ZSM-5 catalysts with a different crystal size were synthesized and also each ZSM-5 (25%) Catalyst was mixed with a same binder (kaolin: silica sol: alumina = 55%:10%:10%). The performance of prepared catalysts that has different physicochemical properties was discussed with the cumulative amount distribution, molecular weight distribution and also paraffin, olefin, naphthene and aromatic (PONA) distribution in liquid product. These liquid product quality and distributions were changed depending on the physicochemical properties of the catalyst. Moreover, the characteristic of ZSM-5 in the catalyst was strongly influenced on the activity and PONA distribution in liquid product.

This study analyzed concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced from incineration of plastic wastes at $600^{\circ}C$. The plastic wastes used in this study included polyethyleneterephthlate (PETE), high density polyethylene (HOPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), low density polyethylene (LOPE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS) and other. Plastic wastes were heated from room temperature upto $600^{\circ}C$ providing the compressed air inside of a small-scale electric furnace for 90 minutes and then they were oxidized (incinerated) for 60 minutes at $600^{\circ}C$ maintaining the same air supply. VOCs emitted from the incineration process were sampled using an air sampling pump and Tedlar air bags for 150 minutes and then the components and concentrations of the VOCs were analyzed by a GC-MS. The most prominent chemical structure of the VOCs obtained from the incineration process of the HOPE, LOPE and PP, which include ethylene groups in their main chains, was identified as aliphatic hydrocarbons such as 1-hexene. However, aromatics such as benzene were major chemical structure from the incineration of PETE, PVC and PS which include benzene rings in their main chains. This study estimated the total VOC production from the incineration of the plastic wastes based on the real plastic waste production and the emission factors. 64% and 27% of the total VOC emissions consisted of aliphatic hydrocarbons and aromatics, respectively, which have double bonds within their molecular structure and thus a high ground level ozone formation potential.

The pyrolysis characteristics of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and polypropylene (PP) were analyzed numerically using a 1D plug flow reactor (PFR) model. A lumped kinetic model was selected to simplify the pyrolysis products as wax, oil, and gas. The simulation was performed in the 400-600℃ range, and the plastic pyrolysis and product generation characteristics with respect to time were compared at various temperatures. It was found that plastic pyrolysis accelerates rapidly as the temperature rises. The amounts of the pyrolysis products wax and oil increase and then decrease with time, whereas the amount of gas produced increases continuously. In LDPE pyrolysis, the pyrolysis time was longer than that observed for other plastics at a specified temperature, and the amount of wax generated was the greatest. The maximum mass fraction of oil was obtained in the order of HDPE, PP, and LDPE at a specified temperature, and it decreased with temperature. Although the 1D model adopted in this study has a limitation in that it does not include material transport and heat transfer phenomena, the qualitative results presented herein could provide base data regarding various types of plastic pyrolysis to predict the product characteristics. These results can in turn be used when designing pyrolysis reactors.

Every year, millions of waste tires are discarded across the world. Storage of waste tires presents many problems such as fire threats, epidemics, and non-economic factors. Furthermore, the disintegration process of waste tires is not economical or practical due to its time-consuming, and disposal requirements. In this study, half-section waste tires (HSWTs) were integrated with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes under different relative density conditions. The main aim of the study was to reduce the deformation values of embedded HDPE pipes in sandy soil and to evaluate the soil-pipe interaction. In comprehensive laboratory tests, half-section waste tires were integrated in two different ways: in the middle of the pipeline and along the pipeline. Accordingly, it was concluded that the effectiveness of waste tires reduces the deformation and bending moment values in the critical regions of pipes. As a result of reinforcement in the mid-point of the pipe defined as the most critical region, 52% and 36% less deformation was observed in the crown and springlines of the pipe, respectively. In addition, the bending moment values for the same critical section were determined to be 40% less in the crown and 28% less in the springline regions of the pipe.

The effects of green tea (Camellia sinensis) waste silage and supplemental polyethylene glycol (PEG) on rumen fermentation and blood components were studied in cattle. Six Holstein steers were fed three diets in a 3${\times}$3 Latin square design, replicated twice. One diet was a control with no added silage, and the other two diets were supplemented (20% of the dry matter) with green tea waste silage either with (PEG) or without PEG (tea). Most of the fermentation parameters including major volatile fatty acids (VFA) were not affected by the diet treatments. The concentrations of high density lipoprotein cholesterol in the PEG group and urea nitrogen in the tea and PEG groups were greater than those in the control before morning feeding. The plasma 6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylic acid equivalent concentration was not different before morning feeding, but 3 h after morning feeding, its concentrations in both the tea and PEG groups were higher than in the control. Although the concentration of plasma vitamin A in the animals was not affected by feeding green tea waste silage, the concentrations of plasma vitamin E were significantly higher in the tea and PEG groups than in the control, both before and 3 h after morning feeding. The results from the present study suggest that feeding diets containing 20% of the dietary dry matter as green tea waste silage to Holstein steers has no negative impact on their ruminal fermentation, and increases their plasma antioxidative activity and concentration of vitamin E.

We developed new composites by combining the solid waste from Low-Density Polyethylene in the form of plastic bag (PB) and biomass from rice husk (RH),in the form of $(RH)_x(PB)_{1-x}$ (x = (1, 0.9, 0.7, 0.5)), as alternative fuels for electrical energy sources, and for providing the best solution to reduce environmental pollution. Elemental compositions were obtained by using proximate analysis, ultimate analysis, and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, and the thermal characteristics were obtained from thermogravimetric analysis. The compositions of carbon and hydrogen from the ultimate analysis show significant increases of 20-30% with increasing PB in the composite. The activation energy for RH is 101.22 kJ/mol; for x = 0.9 and 0.7, this increases by 4 and 6 magnitude, respectively, and for x = 0.5, shows remarkable increase to 165.30 kJ/mol. The range of temperature of about $480-660^{\circ}C$ is required for combustion of the composites $(RH)_x(PB)_{1-x}$ (x = (1, 0.9, 0.7, 0.5)) to perform the complete combustion process and produce high energy. In addition, the calorific value was determined by using bomb calorimetry, and shows value for RH of 13.44 MJ/kg, which increases about 30-40% with increasing PB content, indicating that PB has a strong effect of increasing the energy realized to generate electricity.

알루미늄 생산의 폐기물로 나오는 적니를 플라스틱의 Filler로서 재활용하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 여러가지 플라스틱에 적니를 첨가하여 본 결과 고밀도폴리에틸렌(HDPE), 저밀도 폴리에틸렌(LDPE) 및 폴리프로필렌(PP)에 적니가 Filler로서 사용 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 적니가 플라스틱에 첨가됨에 따라 플라스틱은 다른 안료의 첨가 없이도 붉은 고동색을 나타내었고 인장탄성율 등은 증가하였으나 내충격 강도가 저하되었다. 이를 방지하기 위한 첨가제가 연구되었는데 HDPE에는 에틸렌비닐알코올(EVA)을 첨가제로 5%정도 첨가하는 것이 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. PP의 경우에는 Maleic anhydride 변성 PP를 첨가하면 내충격강도의 저하가 축소되었다. LDPE, HDPE, PP, 폴리스티렌 및 ABS가 섞여있는 혼합 폐플라스틱에 대해서도 적니가 Filler로서 사용 가능한 것으로 나타났는데 이때는 성분간의 비상용성으로 인하여 기계적 물성이 매우 낮았다. 역시 첨가제로서 에틸렌프로필렌 고무(EPR) 및 스티렌부타디엔 블록공중합체(SBS)를 혼합할 경우 좋은 물성을 가지는 적니 혼합 플라스틱을 얻을 수 있었다.
