Utilizing waste materials in making useful products is a globally increasing trend. This can reduce the cost and environmental issues. In this study, oyster shell powder (OSP) is reinforced as a filler in polypropylene (PP) matrix to make a new composite. The purpose is to improve fire retardant properties of PP as a result of OSP reinforcement. Mechanical, fire retardant and water absorption properties of the new composite have been studied in this research. Concentration of OSP reinforcement in PP has been varied by wt% and its effect on the above mentioned properties has been observed. SEM (scanning electron microscopy) images of tensile and bending fractured surfaces have been taken to observe the failure mechanism during mechanical tests. An increase in the fire retardancy has been observed as a result of the OSP reinforcement while tensile strength decreased. Stiffness also increased with the addition of OSP in PP.

A new shape-stable composite phase change material (PCM) have been produced via an easy and simple vacuum impregnation method. The composite PCM have been derived from almond shell biochar (ASB) as supporting material and capric acid (CA) as phase change material. Cost effective waste almond shells (AS) are renewable, eco-friendly, and rich in pores which enhance the possibility of CA impregnation. Therefore, in this study, three different ratios of CA (1:1, 1:2 and 1:3) have been incorporated in ASB to produce shape-stabilized phase change composites (ASCAs). Different techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscope (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) have been applied to evaluate the characteristics of ASCAs. The attained composite PCMs have exhibited shape stability with high latent heat storage, that makes it suitable for thermal energy storage applications.

Hatchery waste including infertile eggs, dead embryos in shell, dead or low grade chicks was cooked at $100^{\circ}C$ for 15 minutes and then oven dried and ground. Hatchery waste meal (HWM) thus prepared contained 44.25% protein, 4,573 kcal/kg gross energy, 3,600 kcal/kg metabolizable energy, 30% ether extract, 1.9% fibre, 14% ash, 9.8% nitrogen free extract, 7.26% Ca, 0.84%P, 1.86% lysine and 0.66% methionine with no Salmonella and E. coli. In biological evaluation trial, significantly higher weight gain was observed in ration containing 12% HWM compared with that containing similar amount of fish meal. Protein efficiency ratio on the two rations was 3.96 vs 2.85; protein digestibility, 86.02 vs 71.9; net protein utilization, 64.9 vs 42.37 and biological value, 75.37 vs 58.84, respectively, indicating better balance of amino acids in HWM compared with fish meal. Growth performance trial on broiler chicks also revealed better weight gain and feed efficiency on ration containing 12% HWM than that containing similar level of fish meal.

The objective of this study is to investigate the waste recycling possibility, practicability, economic efficiency and acid gas sorbent use of the hard-shelled mussel. This study is to investigate the hydration/calcination reaction and fixed bed reactor. The physical-chemical characteristics of the hard-shelled mussel were analyzed by ICP SEM-EDX, BET and pore volume. Thus, the results could be summarized as follows; Hard-shelled mussel can be used as iron-manufacture and chemical sorbents considering more than 53.7% of the mussel is lime content. The SO$_2$removal efficiency of the hard-shelled mussel after calcined hydration increased thirty times as a result of the higher pore size, specific surface area and pore volume. Also, the CaO content, pore volume, pore size distribution and specific surface area greatly influenced the SO$_2$ and NOx removal reactivity. The optimum particle diameter average of hard-shelled mussel was $\pm$100 mesh, which was applied to the sorbent on the medium/small scale waste incinerator and flue gas desulfurization processes.

Here, we introduce a means of utilizing waste oyster shells which were obtained from temporary storage near coastal workplaces as $CO_2$ adsorbents. The calcined CaO can be easily dissociated to $Ca^{2+}$ cation and $CO_3{^{2-}}$ anion by hydrolysis and gas-liquid carbonation reaction and converted to precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) in algae-containing water. The calcium hydroxide and carbonation combination in algae-containing water significantly contributed to improving water quality which is very dependent on the addition amount of calcined powders.

In use of anaerobic bioconversion shellfish wastes present special problems, since the chitinous structures in the shell faction degrade very slowly in an anaerobic environment. Enzymatic pretreatment method was evaluated for improving the anaerobic bioconversion potential of blue crab processing wastes. An enzymatic pretreatment using chitinase enhanced the ultimate methane yield and biodergradation rate constant for total crab solid wastes by 15% and 19% respectively, above those of the untreated wastes. When the enzymatic pretreatment applied to the shell fraction alone, it resulted in increase of 34% in the ultimate methane yield and 38% in the reaction rate. The results indicate that anaerobic bioconversion of these wastes is technically feasible and enzymatic pretreatment will improve the efficiency of the process.

연안역 굴양식장에서 발생하여 폐기물로 분류되어 불법으로 버려지는 굴패각을 파쇄하여 혼합한 모르타르 혼합토의 특성을 규명하고자 압축강도 시험을 포함한 다양한 실내시험을 수행하였다. 압축강도시험을 위하여 준비한 모르타르 공시체는 시멘트, 물, 모래 및 굴패각을 다양한 배합비로 혼합하여 제작하였다. 강도시험결과에 따르면 분쇄한 굴패각의 비율이 최대 모래중량의 40%까지 혼합한 경우에도 굴패각을 섞지 않은 일반 모르타르 혼합토에 비하여 압축강도가 크게 감소하지 않았다. 본 연구에서 수행한 압축강도실험을 분석한 결과, 다양한 크기로 파쇄한 굴패각을 적절한 혼합비의 모래 및 시멘트와 배합하여 사용한다면 건설재료로서의 재활용 가능성이 충분한 것으로 판단되었다.

Recently, the strenuous industrial waste is scattered and one of the oyster also make the serious environmental contamination. The purpose of this study is investigating an utilization ability as calcium binder of the oyster with Hwang-To according to a rate(10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%). This study grasp physical properties of the oyster powder, bake production of the paste, and conduct the flow test, stiff time test and strength test. According to baking condition, strength of $1000^{\circ}C$(120minutes, rate 30%) is higher than any other condition. The oyster powder from above $900^{\circ}C$ seem possibility as binder hereafter. It is thought that the continuous research will be necessary.

In order to utilize mass of oyster shells for a partial substitute material for reclamation, we investigate the shear characteristics of dredged sluge mixed with oyster shells. the apparent modulus of elasticity of the this mixture are obtained from the triaxial compression tests and is utilized to characterize the apparent modulus of elastic of the oyster shells by carrying out some numerical analysis based upon the homogenization theory. We got the conclusion by a series of experiment, 1) It is verified that modulus of elasticity of dredged clay is improved by mixing with oyster shells. 2) The homogenization method for deducing apparent modulus of elasticity of oyster shells, which can consider micro-structure of mixed soil, is introduced. The elastic modulus is affected from the skeleton structure of oyster shell. The effect of 49kPa is bigger than that of 98kPa.

일상에서 그대로 폐기되고 있는 달걀껍질을 폐수처리에 이용하기 위하여 물성조사와 기초적인 흡착 및 중화실험을 수행하였다. 달걀껍질의 특성파악 및 온도에 따른 물성 변화를 검토하기 위하여 각각 $105^{\circ}C$와 $700^{\circ}C$에서 처리한 시료의 용도에 따른 구조변화를 FT-IR 분석법 및 X-선 회절법을 이용하여 검토하였다. FT-IR 분석결과, $700^{\circ}C$에서 달걀껍질의 주성분인 $CaCO_3$의 열분해에 따른 $CO_2$의 방출로 인해 $105^{\circ}C$의 경우와는 달리 C-O absorption band 의 감소가 관찰되었고, X-선 회절분석에서는 $700^{\circ}C$에서는 $105^{\circ}C$의 경우와 거의 유사한 $CaCO_3$ 특성 peak가 나타났으며 $CaCO_3$가 CaO로 완전히 전환되는 온도인 $850^{\circ}C$에서 처리한 시료에 대해 CaO 특성 회절스펙트럼이 관찰되었다. TGA/DTA 분석에 있어서는 약 $600^{\circ}C$에 이르기까지는 무게 감량이 서서히 진행되다가 $600{\sim}800^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 무게감량이 급격히 진행되었으며 그 이상의 온도에서는 무게감량이 더 이상 진행되지 않았다. 또한, 무게감량이 급격히 진행되는 온도구간에서 주된 흡열 peak가 형성되어 $CO_2$ 방출에 따른 열적 특성이 파악되었다. 달걀껍질의 고정층에 의한 연속흡착 실험 결과, 파과시간의 비, 총괄 이동 단위수, 그리고 물질전달계수 등이 column이 진행됨에 따라 그 값이 증가함이 관찰되어 연속흡착에 따른 물질전달의 분배효과를 관찰할 수 있었다. 산성폐수에 대한 중화효과의 경우에 있어서는 각 무기산의 경우 상호 유사한 경향이 나타났으나 $H_2SO_4$의 경우 중화산물인 $CaSO_4$의 형성으로 인해 중화효과가 감소되는 것으로 사료되었다.
