Laboratory-scale landfills (simulated landfills) were designed to determine the formaldehyde released into air and leachate from medium density fiberboard (MDF). Simulated landfills were constructed using cylindrical plastic containers containing alternating layers of soil and MDF for a total of five layers. The highest concentration of formaldehyde was found in the air and leachate from the MDF only treatment compared to treatments containing MDF and soil. At the end of the study (28 days), formaldehyde concentrations in air and leachate from treatments containing MDF and soil decreased by 70 percent and 99 percent, respectively, while the treatment containing MDF only still released formaldehyde into the air and leachate. Therefore, waste MDF after storing 4 weeks in water may be recycled as compost or mulch based on formaldehyde leaching. Also, these data indicate soil restricts formaldehyde release into air and leachate and provides new information about the fate of wood-based composite waste containing UF resin disposed in landfills.

In order to effectively use the waste wood, two types of woodceramics chip tile were made from woodceramics chip, gravel, zeolite and additions. The woodceramics chip was made from branch of apple tree (Malus pumila Mill.) Snow melting property, bending strength and compressive strength of woodceramics chip tile were tested according to the mixing rate of woodceramics chip. Snow melting properties of woodceramics chip tile increased after additions treatment but mechanical properties were reduced significantly after additions treatment. The results indicate that the additions are effective for snow melting property but negative effect on mechanical properties.

The sapwood portion of fast-growing teak is mostly ignored due to its inferior quality. One of the possibilities for utilizing sapwood waste is to convert it into activated carbon that has good adsorption capabilities. The raw materials used in this research were sapwood of 14-year-old fast-growing teak sapwood (FTS) waste, which was taken from three trees from community forests in Wonosari, Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta Special Region. FTS waste was taken from the bottom of the tree up to a height of 1.3 m. The activation process is conducted with an activation temperature of 750℃, 850℃, and 950℃. The heating duration consists of three variations: 30 min, 60 min, and 90 min. The quality evaluation parameters of activated carbon include yield, moisture content, volatile matter content, ash content, fixed carbon content, adsorption capacity of benzene, adsorption capacity of methylene blue, and adsorption capacity of iodine. The results showed that the activated carbon produced had the following quality parameters: yield of 75.61%; moisture content of 1.27%; volatile matter content of 9.98%; ash content of 5.43%; fixed carbon content of 84.58%; benzene absorption capacity of 8.58%; methylene blue absorption capacity of 87.73 mg/g; and iodine adsorption capacity of 948.19 mg/g. It can be concluded that activated carbon from FTS waste has good iodine adsorption, which fulfilled the SNI 06-3730-1995 quality standard. Due to the iodine adsorption ability of FTS waste activated carbon, the conversion of FTS waste to activated carbon is categorized as a potential method to increase the value of this material.

본 연구는 낙엽송과 백합나무 톱밥을 이용한 펠릿의 제조 과정에서 바인더로 일정량의 유채박, 커피부산물, 수피, 솔방울, 리그닌 분말을 첨가하여 바인더의 종류 및 첨가량이 내구성을 포함한 펠릿의 품질에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 수행하였다. 바인더와 함께 제조한 펠릿의 품질은 국립산림과학원에서 고시한 목재 펠릿 품질 규격 1등급 기준을 대부분 상회하였으며, 일부 과다한 양의 바인더를 첨가하여 제조한 펠릿에서만 높은 회분 함량으로 2~3등급 기준을 만족하는 것으로 조사되었다. 바인더 종류 및 첨가량에 따른 펠릿의 내구성은 리그닌, 유채박 그리고 커피부산물을 첨가하여 제조한 펠릿에서 우수하였으며, 백합나무 펠릿은 첨가량의 증가와 함께 내구성도 향상되었다. 한편 낙엽송 펠릿의 경우 첨가량의 증가에 따른 내구성 향상 효과는 크지 않았으며, 수피와 솔방울을 바인더로 사용하였을 때 첨가량의 증가와 함께 내구성이 감소하였다. 제조된 펠릿의 광학/전자현미경 관찰을 통하여 바인더의 종류에 따른 차이를 명확하게 확인할 수 없었으나, 첨가량에 따른 차이는 명확하게 관찰할 수 있었다. 결과를 종합하면, 바인더의 첨가는 목재 펠릿의 품질 향상에 대부분의 항목에서 기여하였으며, 특히 커피부산물을 바인더로 사용하여 제조한 펠릿의 경우 모든 품질에서 뚜렷한 향상을 확인할 수 있었다. 향후 저렴한 바인더의 안정적인 확보가 이루어진다면 바인더의 첨가로 인하여 연료적 품질이 향상된 목재 펠릿의 상용화가 가능할 것으로 확신한다.

질소 분위기의 고온($350{\sim}900^{\circ}C$)의 등온 열중량 분석기를 사용하여 도시 폐기물 폐목재의 탈휘발 특성을 측정 및 고찰하였다. 탈휘발은 온도범위 $250{\sim}350^{\circ}C$에서 주로 발생하였다. 휘발분의 양은 온도가 증가할수록 증가하였으나, $527^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 일정해졌다. 화학반응 율속의 shrinking particle model로 탈휘발반응을 잘 표현할 수 있었다. 탈휘발 활성화 에너지는 13.1~18.5 kJ/g mol이었다.

Enzymatic pulping properties of mixed office waste paper in standard disintegrator were investigated for successful enzymatic deinking of mixed office waste paper. Enzymatic pulping need more revolution in standard disintegrator than alkaline pulping and Cellusoft need more revolution than Denimax. The freeness of disintegrated pulp with enzyme was higher than those of disintegrated pulps with alkaline and heat killed enzyme. The freeness of disintegrated pulp with Denimax was higher than that of disintegrated pulp with Cellusoft. The freeness of disintegrated pulps were increased with a dosage of enzymes. The mechanical properties of disintegrated pulp were improved with enzyme addition comparing with heat killed enzyme. The tensile and burst index of hand sheet of disintegrated pulps with acidic Cellusoft were higher than that of others.

Agricultural practice and improper waste disposal in developing regions have resulted in environmental degradation in land and waters, for which low-cost, proven solutions are needed. We demonstrate in the laboratory the applications of composting and trickling filter techniques to treat olive mill wastes that can be implemented in the West Bank and other regions of the world. To a pomace waste sample from a California mill, we amended with saw dust (wood carbon source) and baking soda ($NaHCO_3$ alkalinity) at weight ratios of waste/wood/$NaHCO_3$ at 70:27:1 and composted it for periods of 11 and 48 days; the compost was used as an additive to potting soil for transplanting. The pomace sample was also blended into slurry and introduced to a water-circulating pond and trickling filter system (P/TF) to examine any inhibitive effect of the pomace on biological removal of the organic waste. The results showed the compost-amended potting soil supported plant growth without noticeable stress over 34 days and the P/TF system removed BOD and COD by >90% from the waste liquid within 2 days, with a first-order rate constant of 1.9 $d^{-1}$ in the pond. An onsite treatment design is proposed that promises implementation for agricultural waste disposal in developing regions.

본 연구에서는 건설폐목재의 발생현황 및 원인을 조사 분석하고, 국내 및 국외 폐목재의 발생, 처리, 재활용 동향을 비교, 분석하고자 한다. 오늘날 산업사회가 고도로 발달하면서 인간의 생활은 보다 편리하고 윤택해졌지만, 그 부작용으로 환경오염과 자원고갈 문제가 심각하게 대두되고 있다. 최근 건설 산업에서 환경보호와 자원의 절약 등이 중요한 이슈로 부각되고 있으며, 필연적으로 발생되는 건설폐기물의 관리와 재활용에 대한 관심도 증가되고 있다. 발생되는 폐기물은 양적으로도 증가했을 뿐만 아니라 질적으로도 매우 복잡 다양하여 이들의 원천적 감량과 재자원화 촉진 등 자원 순환형 처리방식의 절감방안이 모색되어야 한다. 그 중 폐목재는 건설현장에서 발생되는 여러 종류의 자원 중에서 약33%정도만 재활용하고 나머지는 소각하거나 비정상적인 유통과정을 거쳐 처리되어 지고 있다. 따라서, 건설현장 폐목재 처리현황의 실태 및 요인분석을 통하여 폐목재의 적법한 처리 및 재활용에 불합리한 원인은 무엇이며 그에 영향을 주는 수많은 변수들을 도출하고 요인분석을 통하여 몇 가지 요인으로 묶어 단순화하는 것에 목적을 두고 있다.

RDF 생산 기술은 국내 실정에 맞는 제조 설비로 자체 생산할 수 있는 단계이지만, 사업장 가연성 폐기물에 대한 연료화 설비가 구축된 사례는 드물다. 본 연구에서는 사업장 가연성 폐기물을 대상으로 한 RPF(Refuse Plastic Fuel) 제조 공정의 고형연료 제조 가능성에 대해 검토하였다. 고형연료는 폐합성수지, 폐지 및 폐목재의 지역별 폐기물 발생비율 기준으로 제조되었으며, 제조된 RPF의 물리적 특성을 조사하였다. 대경(대구, 경북)지역을 기준으로 제조된 RPF의 발열량이 가장 높게 나타났으며, 폐지와 폐목재의 첨가량이 늘어날수록 발열량은 감소하였다.

Liquefied-wood polymer composite was prepared and mechanical properties was evaluated to develop potential utility of liquefied wood. The liquefied wood was made from waste wood and chemical modified with acetic anhydride and maleic anhydride (MA), phtalic anhydride (PA). The composite sheet was prepared from modified liquefied-wood and polymer(PE). The mechanical, chemical and microscopical properties composite sheet were investigated. The results were summarized as follows, 1. The tensile strength was increased and breaking elongation of composite sheet was decreased with the time of acetylation and the dosage of MA. 2. The Young's modulus of composite sheet was gradually decreased with the dosage of PA. 3. The peak intensity of 1737cm-1 in FT-IR spectra of chemical modified liquefied woods was increased. 4. The dispersity of liquefied woods with PE was improved with chemical modification.
