This study examined the adsorption characteristics of heavy metal ions ($Cr^{6+}$, $As^{3+}$) in an aqueous solution using recycled aggregate (RA) and recycled aggregate (RA)/steel slag (SS) composites. The RA and SS are favorable for the absorbent because it contains about 91% and 86.9%, respectively, which are some of the major adsorbent ingredients (CaO, $SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$ and $Fe_2O_3$) for heavy metal. Kinetic equilibrium of $Cr^{6+}$ and $As^{3+}$ in RA and RA/SS composites reached within 180 min and 360 min, respectively. The kinetic data presented that the slow course of adsorption follows the Pseudo first and second order models. The equilibrium data were well fitted by the Freundlich model and showed the affinity order of $As^{3+}$ > $Cr^{6+}$. The results of $As^{3+}$ also showed that the adsorption capacity slightly increased with increasing pH from 6 to 10. Meanwhile, the adsorption capacity of $Cr^{6+}$ was slightly decreased. From these results, it was concluded that the RA and RA/SS composites can be successfully used for removing the heavy metals ($Cr^{6+}$ and $As^{3+}$) from aqueous solutions.

Construction of the water-friendly facilities in the apartment complex and industrial complex became popular these days. In planning water-friendly facilities, kinds, layouts, water sources, water quality and water circulation system should be studies. In this study, several alternatives for a regional industrial complex project were studies and a most reasonal alternative was selected. A main canal across the central part of the complex is the principle facility with ponds and parks. The water source alternatives were a river nearby, a reservoir, ground water and urban water supply system. For each system, water quantity and quality, circulation system, permit and maintenance were compared. The facilities should be constructed with natural material such as rock and gravel. Average depth and velocity in the canal should be 10 cm and 0.15 m/s, respectively in order to people can feel the water flow in the canal. Based on the comparison, it is found that using the ground water, and water circulation system with storage tanks at the upper and lower ends of the canal system is the best alternative.

As a solution of both environmental issue of reducing carbon dioxide emission and sustainable issue of exhausting natural resources, in concrete industry, many research on recycling various by-products or industrial wastes as the concrete materials has been conducted. The aim of this research is feasibility analysis of additional reaction with ordinary Portland cement and flue gas desulfurization gypsum based on the blast furnace slag and recycled fine aggregate based mortar to achieve the normal strength range. Consequently, in the case of mortar replaced 10% FGD and 30% OPC for BS, 80% of plain OPC mortar's compressive strength was achieved. Furthermore, when the water-to-binder ratio is decreased to keep the practically similar level of flow, it is expected to be achieve the equivalent compressive strength to plain OPC mortar.

최근 기후변화에 따른 가뭄의 상습화와 농촌용수 수요증가에 대비할 수 있는 가뭄대책의 수립을 통한 용수부족 문제에 대한 근본적인 해소의 필요성 증가하고 있는 가운데 기존 수자원을 효율적으로 활용하기 위한 4차 산업기술을 적용한 순환형 농업용수 관리시스템의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구는 2017년 가뭄이 극심하였던 충청남도 대사저수지, 풍전저수지와 경기도 마둔저수지에 대하여 기상분석, 관개분석, 수리분석 등을 수행하여 이수관리, 관개만족도, 회귀수의 재이용 등을 예측 관리할 수 있는 순환형 농업용수 관리 시스템을 개발하여 적용하고자, 선제적으로 가뭄 발생 들녘의 용수공급을 위한 농업용 저수지 소유역 순환용수 가용수량을 추정하였다. 2010년부터 2019년까지의 강우유출 모형을 적용하기 위하여 수원, 천안, 이천관측소의 강우, 최고/최저기온, 상대습도, 풍속, 일사량자료를 일자료로 활용하였고, 10년 평균 유출량을 순별로 산정하여 기본자료로 구축하여 주요 취입보 유입수량을 산정하였다. 주요 취입보 유입수량 산정과 취입보의 용적을 산출하기 위하여 시설별 높이차와 하천의 길이 및 폭을 측정하였으며 물수지는 보유용수량과 유입량의 합에서 공급수량을 제외한 값으로 정의하였고, 내용적을 초과하는 경우에는 범람되는 것으로 구현하여 마둔, 대사, 풍전저수지의 임의 지점(하천)별로 순환용수 가용을 위한 모의를 실시하였다. 공간 범위는 평야부 말단부로 선정하였고, 가상으로 약 2m 높이의 임시보를 적용하여 관개기 강우유출수 및 퇴수에 의한 가용수량을 산정하였다. 이를 위하여 하천의 폭과 표고를 이용하여 길이를 산출하여, 내용적을 산출하였다. 소유역별로 TANK 모형적용 결과를 입력자료로 활용하여 일 공급 양수량을 내용적 최대로 하였을 때 회복 기간에 대한 모의를 수행하였다. 강우유출수에 의한 소유역별 가용수량을 4월부터 모의 분석한 결과 유역별로 차이는 발생하지만 만수위에 도달하는 기간은 특이 유역을 제외하고는 약 50일 이상 걸리는 것으로 분석되었고, 관개기가 계속되면서 회복되는 기간이 짧아지는 경향을 보였다. 이를 통해 소유역별 농업용수 부족분 투입을 위한 위치선정과 용수량 판단이 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

For the development of a resource recycling society, it is important to control the generation of waste in all processes such as production, distribution, consumption and disposal, and to recycle the recyclable resources of waste instead of simply landfilling and incineration. However, in order to develop a resource-recycling society, not only emitters, businesses, and the central government, but also local governments need to work together to find a solution. Therefore, in this study, we present a promotion strategy for the development of Sejong City's resource-recycling society, taking into consideration the current situation of Sejong City as well as changes in the government's institution system. We suggest that regionally preparing recycling priority management plan, maximizing waste resource utilization, establishing recycling industry activation plan, and building a systematic and efficient recycling platform, etc.

We consider a Direct Input Output Manufacturing System(DIOMS) which has a number of machine centers placed along a built-in Automated Storage/Retrieval System(AS/RS). The Storage/Retrieval (S/R) machine handles parts placed on pallets for the operational aspect of DIOMS and determines the optimal operating policy by combining computer simulation and genetic algorithm. The operational problem includes: input sequencing control, dispatching rule of the SIR machine, machine center-based part type selection rule, and storage assignment policy. For each operating policy, several different policies are considered based on the known research results. In this paper, using the computer simulation and genetic algorithm we suggest a method which gives the optimal configuration of operating policies within reasonable computation time.

This article aims to clarify what is the best investment behavior in Capital Intensive Industries(hereinafter CIIs) which show repeated business cycles. In CIIs, investments is centered in the period of upturns and goes beyond the adequate level because of the time that takes to completion of facilities. This over-investment causes oversupply and downturn, and in period of downturn, investments shrinks under the adequate level. The repeated change of over-investment and under-investment is the reason for the business cycles. In this article, a simulation model replicating the business cycles in CIIs was constructed and the effects of various investment strategies was tested. The results are as follows. First, the investment behavior following market condition causes the ongoing fluctuation of profits. Second, strategic increase in flexibility such as adjustment of facility utilization and shortening of facility construction time contributes to the increase in profit and stabilization of income. Third, in relation to market condition, the constant investment is more profitable in stagnated market and the counter-market investment is more profitable in growing market. In sum, it is desirable not to synchronize their investment with those of competitors.

This study aims to evaluate the body burden of workers in work environment monitoring with long-term (more than 10 years) low-level exposure to various chemicals. The subject workers were a total of 26 men and women who performed work environment monitoring tasks as the exposure group and those who did not perform such work among their co-workers at the same company as the control group. The exposure to various chemicals was examined through liver and biliary function with 12 indicators, renal function with four indicators, and blood and circulatory function with 16 indicators. The exposure group had significant variation compared to the control group for the indicators of serum GPT, ϒ-GTP, and total bilirubin for liver and biliary function, indicators of creatinine and uric acid for renal function, and indicators for neutral fats, red blood cell count, platelet count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit for blood and circulatory function. Long-term exposure to various chemicals at low levels might affect the variation of the indicators for liver and biliary, renal and blood, and circulatory function of workers. If low-concentration exposure to different hazardous chemicals occurs over a long period of more than 10 years, it could be a harmful factor to the health of workers who measure the working environment.
