In this paper, the carbon resources recycling of the overview of coffee waste generation in Vietnam. Since few years, there has been a significant research studies was done in the areas of coffee waste generation areas and also waste water generation from coffee production. The coffee residue (solid) and waste water (liquid) both are caused the underground water contamination and also soil contamination. These residues contain high organic matter and acid content leads to the severe threat to environment. In second stage of coffee production process, the major solid residue was generated. Various solid residues such as spent coffee grounds, defective coffee beans and coffee husks) pose several environmental concerns and specific problems associated with each type of residue. Due to the unlimited usage of coffee, the waste generation is high. At the same time, some researchers have been investigated the spent coffee wastes are the valuable sources for various valuable compounds. Biodiesel or biomass productions from coffee waste residues are the best available utilization method for preventing the landfill problems of coffee waste residues.

The heavy reliance on fossil fuels, especially oil and gas has triggered the global energy crisis. Continued use of petroleum fuels is now widely recognized as unsustainable because of their depleting supplies and degradation to the environment. To become less dependent on fossil fuels, current world is shifting paradigm in energy by developing alternative energy sources mainly through the utilization of renewable energy sources. In particular, bioenergy recovery from wastes with the help of microorganism is viewed as one of the promising ways to mitigate the current global warming crisis as well as to supply global energy. It has been proved that microorganism can generate power by converting organic matter into electricity using microbial fuel cells (MFCs). MFC is a bioelectrochemical device that employs microbes to generate electricity from bio-convertible substrate such as wastewaters including municipal solid waste, industrial, agriculture wastes, and sewage. Sustainability, carbon neutral and generation of renewable energy are some of the major features of MFCs. However, the MFC technology is confronted with a number of issues and challenges such as low power production, high electrode material cost and so on. This paper reviews the recent developments in MFC technology with due consideration of electrode materials used in MFCs. In addition, application of biocathodes in MFCs has been discussed.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae was immobilized by incubating iron oxides with calcium alginate, and by polyacrylamide entrapment to use repeatedly for the conversion of glucose to ethanol. Magnetic and non-magnetic immobilized yeast and polyacrylamide immobilized yeast were compared with the native yeast a batch-fermentation of ethanol from glucose. Three kinds of immobilized yeast tended almost identically, having ethanol productivity as well as the final yield about the same to what was found for the native yeast. The long-term operational stability of three kinds of immobilized yeast were significant difference according as immobilized yeast activation or non-activation before ethanol fermentation. In the non-activation they lost their activity of fermentation rapidly in the beginning stage an slower at a later stage. On the other hand, in the activation with nutrient media, their activities were increased to some extent and stable in the later stage. The cell count of three kinds of immobilized yeast after activiation by incubating nutrient media, increased by a factor of about 45 to 48, whereas the fermenting capacity increased by a factor of 174 to 178. In the prearation of immobilized biocatalysts, magnetic matter does not seem to have any adverse affect on the properties of the microorganism. The immobilized biocatalysts by utilizing magnetic matter have some advantages, especially in application of viscous media or insoluble particle-containing media, for this work was linked with microbial utilization of environmental wastes and elimination of envirnmental pollutant.

The computer simulation model was established to verify the applicability of smelting reduction concept to treatment of industrial wastes which becomes issue on the enviromental and recycling view point. Computer simulation model provides as following results. The increase of post combustion ratio(PCR) and heat transfer efficiency of PC energy(HTE) is effective ways to save energy. But, in order to increase PCR, recovery efficiency of post combustion energy(HTE) have to be higher than 85% HTE considering refractory life and saving energy together. Coke is most useful fuel source because it shows lowest dependence of PCR and low hydrogen content. The quality of hot metal of current process would be expected to the similar level with that of blast furnace. The utilization of scrap and Al dross can be also possible to maximize the advantages of current process which is high temperature and chemical dilution with hot metal and slag. In case of scrap, energy consumption was slightly increases because of heating up energy of scrap. Consquently, current process concept provides the possibility of intergrating recycles of industrial wastes materials such as EAF slag, coke oven dust, life terminated acidic refractory, aluminium dross and scrap by smelting reduction process.

This work aims to utilize wastes from the potato starch industry to produce single-cell protein (SCP) with high lysine content as animal feed. In this work, S-(2-aminoethyl)-_L-cysteine hydrochloride-resistant Bacillus pumilus E1 was used to produce SCP with high lysine content, whereas Aspergillus niger was used to degrade cellulose biomass and Candida utilis was used to improve the smell and palatability of the feed. An orthogonal design was used to optimize the process of fermentation for maximal lysine content. The optimum fermentation conditions were as follows: temperature of 40℃, substrate concentration of 3%, and natural pH of about 7.0. For unsterilized potato starch wastes, the microbial communities in the fermentation process were determined by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of bacterial 16S rRNA genes. Results showed that the dominant population was Bacillus sp. The protein quality as well as the amino acid profile of the final product was found to be significantly higher compared with the untreated waste product at day 0. Additionally, acute toxicity test showed that the SCP product was non-toxic, indicating that it can be used for commercial processing.

일반적으로 FRP 폐기물은 단순하게 매립하거나 소각처리하고 있다. 매립은 난분해성으로 인하여 토양을 영구 오염시키고, 소각은 분진과 유독가스를 발생시키게 된다. FRP 폐기물의 처리방법으로 매립, 소각, 화학적 재활용, 재료적 재활용 및 연소열의 에너지활용 등 몇 가지 방법이 알려져 있다. 재료적 재활용을 포함한 모든 처리방법이 경제적 기술적 환경적 관점에서 제한적인 요소를 가지고 있다. 그러나 재료적 재활용방법이 가장 바람직한 방법으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 재료적 재활용의 가능성을 조사할 목적으로 불포화폴리에스테르수지의 첨가량을 다양하게 변화(25, 30, 35 wt%)시키고 또 충전재 대신 폐FRP 미분말을 대체(0, 25, 50, 75, 100 wt%) 사용하여 다양한 BMC시편을 제조하였다. 제조한 BMC시편의 물리적 특성을 평가하기 위하여 인장강도, 굴곡강도, 충격강도, 내열수성시험 및 전자현미경 관찰을 행하였다. 시험결과 폐FRP 미분말의 치환량이 증가됨에 따라 기계적 강도는 감소되었으며, 내열수성시험에 의하여 시편의 물성은 크게 열화되었다. 폐FRP 미분말의 치환량 50 wt% 이상에서 BMC의 유동성이 크게 저하되어 BMC 복합재료에 문제가 발생하였다.

The amount of radioactive waste is expected to dramatically increase with decommissioning of nuclear power plants such as Kori-1, the first nuclear power plant in South Korea. Accurate nuclide analysis is necessary to manage the radioactive wastes safely, but research on verification of radionuclide analysis has yet to be well established. This study aimed to develop the technology that can verify the results of radionuclide analysis based on artificial intelligence. In this study, we propose an anomaly detection algorithm for inspecting the analysis error of radionuclide. We used the data from 'Updated Scaling Factors in Low-Level Radwaste' (NP-5077) published by EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute), and resampling was performed using SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique) algorithm to augment data. 149,676 augmented data with SMOTE algorithm was used to train the artificial neural networks (classification and anomaly detection networks). 324 NP-5077 report data verified the performance of networks. The anomaly detection algorithm of radionuclide analysis was divided into two modules that detect a case where radioactive waste was incorrectly classified or discriminate an abnormal data such as loss of data or incorrectly written data. The classification network was constructed using the fully connected layer, and the anomaly detection network was composed of the encoder and decoder. The latter was operated by loading the latent vector from the end layer of the classification network. This study conducted exploratory data analysis (i.e., statistics, histogram, correlation, covariance, PCA, k-mean clustering, DBSCAN). As a result of analyzing the data, it is complicated to distinguish the type of radioactive waste because data distribution overlapped each other. In spite of these complexities, our algorithm based on deep learning can distinguish abnormal data from normal data. Radionuclide analysis was verified using our anomaly detection algorithm, and meaningful results were obtained.
