The present study was conducted to investigate the adsorption potential of red mud for fluoride removal. Different operation parameters such as the effect of contact time, initial concentration, pH, competing anions, seawater, adsorbent dose amount, and adsorbent mixture were studied. Nearly 3 hr was required to reach sorption equilibrium. Equilibrium sorption data were described well by Langmuir model and the maximum adsorption capacity of red mud was 5.28 mg/g. The fluoride adsorption at pH 3 was higher than in the pH range 5-9. The presence of anions such as sulfate, nitrate, phosphate, and bicarbonate had no significant effect on fluoride adsorption onto red mud. The fluoride removal by red mud was greater in seawater than deionized water, resulting from the presence of calcium and magnesium ion in seawater. The use of red mud alone was more effective for the removal of fluoride than mixing red mud with other industrial waste such as oyster shells, lime stone, and steel slag. This study showed that red mud has a potential application in the remediation of fluoride contaminated soil and groundwater.

Activated carbon is carbon produced from carbonaceous source materials, such as coconut shells, coals, and woods. In this study, an activated carbon production system was analyzed by carbonization and activation in terms of environmental impact and human health. The feedstock of wood wastes for the system reduced fossil fuel consumption and disposal costs. Life cycle assessment methodology was used to analyze the environmental impacts of the system, and the functional unit was one tonne of wood wastes. The boundary expansion method was applied to analyze the wood waste recycling process for activated carbon production. An environmental credit was quantified by avoided impact analysis. Specifically, greenhouse gases discharged from 1 kg of activated carbon production system by feeding wood wastes were evaluated. We found that this system reduced global warming potential of approximately $9.69E+00kg\;CO_2-eq$. compared to the process using coals. The environmental benefits for activated carbon production from wood wastes were analyzed in contrast to other disposal methods. The results showed that the activated carbon system using one tonne of wood wastes has an environmental benefit of $163kg\;CO_2-eq$. for reducing global warming potential in comparison with the same amount of wood wastes disposal by landfilling.

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.

폐굴껍질을 원료로 vaterite 형 침강성 탄산칼슘 제조 실험을 하였다. 굴껍질을 800℃의 온도에서 산화칼슘이 주성분인 소성 굴껍질을 제조하였다. 이 굴껍질을 질산이나 염산 용액에 녹여 0.1 M 질산칼슘이나 염화칼슘 수용액을 만들고, 여러 실험 조건에서 0.1 M 탄산나트륨 수용액과 탄산화 반응을 시켰다. 실험 조건은 aspatic acid 첨가량, 반응온도, 교반속도, NH₄OH 첨가량, 반응시간, 용해 산 종류 등이다. XRD, SEM, Size 분석을 하고 vaterite 함유량을 계산하였다. 25℃, 600 rpm, aspatic acid 0.1몰/ 1몰 CaO과 2 cm³의 NH₄OH를 첨가한 최적 조건에서 1시간 반응에서 vaterite 함유량 95.9%의 구형의 침강성 탄산칼슘을 합성하였다. 평균 입경은 12.11 ㎛이었다. 고 vaterite 함유 탄산칼슘은 의료용, 식용, 잉크첨가제 등 고부가가치 탄산칼슘으로 활용된다.

토양 중금속 안정화를 위해 농축수산 부산물, 산업부산물 등과 같은 다양한 폐자원이 활용되고 있다. 일례로 석회, 패각류, 난각류, 산업부산물 등의 알칼리물질, 동물의 뼈 및 인산용액, 인광석 등의 인 함유물질, 퇴비(compost), 가축분(manure), 바이오차(biochar) 등의 유기성물질과 이 외에도 영가철, 제오라이트(zeolite) 등의 다양한 물질들을 토양 내 중금속 안정화의 소재로 활용하기 위한 효율성, 적용성 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이들 물질에 대한 토양 적용 후 중금속 안정화 기작은 일부 보고된 바 있으나 장기적 안정성과 현장 적용성을 평가한 연구는 여전히 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 여러 가지 폐자원을 활용한 선행 연구들에서 제시된 토양 중금속 안정화 관련 내용을 요약하였다.

In spite of various applications of chitin derivatives from waste marine sources, commercial use of chitin has been limited due to resistance to chemicals and the absense of proper solvents. We prepared chitin through decalcification, bleaching and deproteination from protunus trituberculatus shells by the application of Hackman's method. Structural and chemical properties of chitin were investigated to have proper specific surface area and particle size by IR, BET and PSA. The amount of absorbed water of chitin reached equilibrium by stirring about 15 minutes. The amount of absored water of the prepared chitin were large than the commercial chitin. When prepared chitin tested on dyeing wastewater, they showed better treatment efficiency in COD, suspended solid, and color tests than the commercial chitin. The adsorption capacity increased with decreasing particle size for the prepared chitin. Treatment efficiency for color was increased as the sitirring rate increased. Results show the possibility of the prepared chitin from waste marine sources as a treatment system for dyeing wastewater.

폐각 원료를 수증기 활성화 공정을 거쳐 다공성 흡착제로 제조하여 흡착성능을 평가하였다. 세척 파쇄한 폐각원료를 $600{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$로 탄화시킨 후 $700{\sim}800^{\circ}C$의 회전로에 주입하는 수증기 활성화법에 의해 활성화공정을 수행하였다. 다양한 조건으로 제조된 폐각흡착제 중 $1000^{\circ}C$로 탄화시켜 제조된 흡착제가 다른 공정으로 제조된 흡착제에 비해 흡착능이 높게 나타났다. 또한 기상흡착과 액상흡착실험을 통해 흡착제로서의 활용가능성을 확인한 결과 기상흡착의 경우에는 기존 흡착제에 비해 현저히 떨어진 성능을 나타내었으며, 액상흡착의 경우에는 흡착질로 benzene을 선정한 경우 다른 상용 흡착제와 비교하여 거의 유사한 흡착특성을 나타내어 흡착제로서의 활용가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

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.

To analyze the effects of oyster shell particles, inserted in the self-hardening matrix such as cement paste, on strength, homogenization analysis using micro structure was used to estimate and assess the apparent elastic modulus of oyster shell particle. DIB modeling technique was used to represent of the micro structure of oyster shell mixed concrete. The results showed that the apparent elastic modulus of LOS (large oyster shell particle) was changed with the amount of LOS inserted. In particular, when the amount of LOS was 200% of the weight of cement, the apparent elastic modulus of LOS tended to decrease rapidly. This could mean that the strength of oyster shell mixed concrete is much affected by LOS inserted material in mixed ratio of 200%.

Oyster shells are difficult to grind, while oyster shell powders have coarse and coarse grains, whereas egg shell powder, the same high calcium material, has small and soft particles and has opposing properties. In order to study the change in flexural and compressive strength by designing different mixing ratios using 50% of oyster shell powder and egg shell powder as a filling material. As a result of the experiment, there is almost no difference in the result.
