Optimal sludge recycling ratio for maximum total nitrogen(TN) removal efficiency was calculated stoichiometrically using nitrification and denitrification reaction with given influent water qualities in anoxic-oxic process which was one of the popular nitrogen removal system. The water quality items for stoichiometric calculation were ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, alkalinity, COD, and dissolved oxygen which could affect nitrification and denitrification. Optimal sludge recycling ratio for maximum TN removal efficiency was expressed by those five influent water qualities. TN concentration calculated stoichiometrically had kept good relationship with reported TN concentration in each tank and final effluent. In addition, it was possible to expect the TN concentration in final effluent by stoichiometric calculation within ${\pm}5.0\;mg/L$.

In this study is investigated the various properties of concrete with the kinds of stabilizing agent of recycling water and solid content in order to suggest a practical use of recycling water. According to the results, fluidity and air content varies slightly with the kinds of stabilizing agent and solid content, but does not make a big difference. Setting time does not differ remarkably from plain concrete at 20℃, but is shortened with an increase of solid content. Bleeding is reduced more largely in the case of S than in the case of R, and is not influenced by solid content. Compressive strength is equal or decreases in comparison with plain concrete at solid content of I and 50%, and shows the highest value at solid content of 3%. Length change by drying shrinkage is larger than plain concrete at solid content of 5%, and decreases at solid content of I and 3%. Therefore, it proves that the influence of the kinds of stabilizing agent is minute, and solid content is most effective at 3%.

Recycling industrial wastes such as fly ash from a coal burning heat power plant and shell from an oyster farming were investigated to prevent environment contamination as well as to enhance the value of recycling materials. In this study, the lightweight aggregates and the red bricks were fabricated from fly ashes with other inorganic materials and wastes. The starting materials of the lightweight aggregate were fly ash powder and water glass, and the compacts of these materials were heat treated at $1100^{\circ}C$. The fabricated lightweight aggregates had low bulk density, $0.9-1.2\;g/cm^3$, hence floated on the water and had the strength of 7.0-11.0 MPa and the modulus of 2900-3300 MPa which indicates it has enough strength as the aggregate. Another type of the light weight aggregate was prepared from fly ashes, shell powders and clays. The bulk density, porosity, and compressive strength of these aggregates were $1.19-1.34\;g/cm^3,\;18.3{\sim}56.1%$ and 5-12 MPa, respectively. The addition of a small amount of fly ash powder prevented hydration of the light weight aggregates. The red brick was also fabricated from the fly ash containing materials. It is suitable for the brick facing of a building as it has moderate strength and low water absorption rate.

Paper industry discharges many by-products and quantity of PSA (Paper sludge ash) has been increased. In this study, hydration water was added to PSA for use as cement admixture. PSA with added water was mixed with anhydrite and this mixture was used as cement substitute. Physical properties of PSA cement were changed by contents of PSA, but PSA cement containing PSA less than 10% had similar properties to those of OPC. Compressive strength of PSA cement mortar had a certain relationship with $Ca(OH)_2$ content. Compressive strength at 3 days increased, as $Ca(OH)_2$ content increased. However, the strength at 28 days increased, as $Ca(OH)_2$ content decreased.

PET bottles were composed of several different materials such as PET, HDPE, PVC and PP, it is necessary for recycling of PET bottles to precede seperation of each material. This study is purposed of recycling of PET bottles by separation using float and sink method. Pure PET is obtained a proportion of 94% on condition that bottle labels were removed by using tap water. In case the labels were attached on the bottles, PET was unable to obtain because of PVC and PET sink, and PP and HDPE float. Therefore, the labels should be removed before separation of PVC lebels substituted for PP or PE material. The various physical properties of recovered PET and HDPE were measured and compared with the original PET and HDPE, and it is identified that recycling is possible as a result.

This study employed the modified fouling index (MFI) to determine the performance of a two-step recycling system - a membrane filtration integrated laminar flow water storage (LFWS) tank followed by an ion exchange process to reclaim ultrapure water (UPW) from the wastewater generated from semiconductor wafer backgrinding and sawing processes. The first step consisted of the utilization of either ultrafiltration (UF) or nanofiltration (NF) membranes to remove solids in the wastewater where the second step consisted of an ion exchanger to further purify the filtrate. The system was able to produce high purity water in a continuous operating mode. However, higher recycling cost could be incurred due to membrane fouling. The feed wastewater used for this study contained high concentration of fine particles with low organic and ionic contents, hence membrane fouling was mainly attributed to particulate deposition and cake formation. Based on the MFI results, a LFWS tank that was equipped with a turbulence reducer with a pair of auto-valves was developed and found effective in minimizing fouling by discharging concentrated wastewater prior to any membrane filtration. By comparing flux behaviors of the improved system with the conventional system, the former maintained a high flux than the latter at the end of the experiment.

The production of recycling aggregate is used to process in the crushing that recycling aggregate isn't perfect the concrete aggregate in Korea. This study is examine to the properties of recycling aggregate used method of trituration. Test item is the fineness, density and percent of absorptance, solid volume percentage of aggregate. The result is that first, the method of trituration is excellent to increase the time of trituration and steel ball but decrease washing water. Second, method of trituration is improve to the properties of recycling aggregate but aggregate of production is irregularity. And method of trituration have to study of the many test items.

The possibility of producing Cr$_2$O$_3$powder from waste magnesia-chromium refractory was investigated by sulfuric acid reaction, alkali fusion, water leaching & purification and heat treatment. The effects of temperature, the amount of NaOH added and the flow rate of air on chromium extraction efficiency in an alkali fusion step were investigated. The fusion product was leached with methanol to solve free-NaOH, and then leached with water to produce a Na$_2$CrO$_4$solution. The purity of chrome(Ⅵ) oxides, prepared both from monochromate with an impurity content and monochromate purified with $CO_2$were also examined. The purified monochromate solution was reduced from Cr(Ⅵ) to Cr(III) with NaHSO$_3$solution. The reduced solution was neutralized with NaOH to produce Cr(OH)$_3$. Water washing was treated to eliminate Na$_2$SO$_4$from neutralized Cr(OH)$_3$slurry. The washed Cr(OH)$_3$was dried and thermally treated to produce Cr$_2$O$_3$powder. The properties like lightness and hue of Cr$_2$O$_3$fabricated in this study were L=47.47, a=-14.40 and b=17.21.

An air-washer was developed in order to remove the soil on the films collected from agricultural use, The washed films were subjected to TGA analysis to measure the residual soil content and DSC analysis to evaluate composition as well as compositional ratro, Mechanical properties of washed films were measured via tensile test ,md the properties of washed films were compared with those of neat resin blend. Major component of air washed films was polyethylene, and compositional ratio was 10:6:3:1 (HDPE:LLDPE:LDPE:EVA). 30 min air-washed films showed 2.1 % of residual soil content, while the water washed films had 1.5%. Tensile properties of washed (air and water) films were almost same as those of neat resin mixture.
