Shape-controlled copper oxides have been recovered from copper-containing waste etchant by neutralization with alkalihydroxide. Large amount of copper-containing waste etchant is generated from Printed Circuit Board industry. In an environmental and economic point of view, retrieve of the valuable natural resource from the waste is important. In recycling process of copper oxide from the waste etchant, reaction temperature controls shapes and sizes of the products. Copper oxide recovered below reaction temperature $40^{\circ}C$ was of a needle shape, while copper oxide comes in a platy shape above $40 ^{\circ}C$ . Physical properties of samples have been characterized using SEM, XRD, TGA and Atomic absorption spectroscopy.

환경부는 지난 5월 3일 '자원의 절약과 재활용촉진에 관한 법률 시행령(약칭 : 자원재활용법 시행령)'을 일부 개정했다. 합성수지재질 제품의 회수와 재활용을 촉진하기 위해 제품·포장재의 제조업자나 수입업자가 제품·포장재의 제조 또는 수입으로 발생한 폐기물을 회수해 재활용해야 하는 재활용의무 대상 제품·포장재에 합성수지재질의 제품 중 산업용 필름, 교체용 정수기 필터, 어망, 폴리프로필렌 재질의 생활용품 등 15개 품목을 추가한 것이다. 다만 사업자의 급격한 부담 증가를 방지하기 위해 전년도 연간 매출액이 10억 원 미만인 제조업자 등은 2025년까지 재활용의무를 면제받을 수 있다. 다음에 그 상세한 내용을 지난호에 이어서 살펴보도록 한다. 재활용의무를 면제받을 수 있다. 다음에 그 상세한 내용을 지난호에 이어서 살펴보도록 한다.

Deep-sea Manganese nodules was treated with reduction-smelting process with adding the spent Ni-Cd battery or the cobalt contained spent catalyst for recovery of nickel and cobalt metals. The nickel in the spent Ni-Cd battery could be recovered by adding $5\%$ coke as a reducing agent regardless of the amount of battery added. However, to recover cobalt from the spent catalyst, it is require to add more coke for reduction of cobalt oxide in the catalyst. The treatment of metal wastes with manganese nodules can contribute to lower the cost for the processing of nodules and to facilitate the recycling of metal wastes.

With the growth of the battery industry, a rapid increase in the production and usage of lithium-ion batteries is expected, and in line with this, much interest and effort is being paid to recycle waste batteries, including production scrap. Although much effort has been made to recycle cathode material, much attention has begun to recycle anode material to secure the supply chain of critical minerals and improve recycling rates. The proximate analysis that measures the content of coal can be used to analyze graphite in anode material, but it cannot accurately analyze due to the interaction between the components of the black mass. Therefore, in this study, thermogravimetric analysis of each component of black mass was measured as the temperature increased up to 950℃ in an oxygen atmosphere. As a result, in the case of cathode material, no change in mass was measured other than a mass reduction of about 5% due to oxidation of the binder and conductive material. In the case of anode material, except for a mass reduction of about 2% due to the binder, all mass reduction were due to the graphite(fixed carbon). In addition, metal conductors (Al, Cu) were oxidized and their mass increased as the temperature increased. Thermal analysis results of mixed samples of cathode/anode show similar results to the predictive values that can be calculated through each cathode and anode analysis results.

EAF processed slag which contains about 20 ~ 35 weight percent FetO is poured to slag pot and cooled. If we recover Fe from molten slag by the reduction, we will improve steel yield rate and reduce slag quantity poured from the furnace. Usually, carbon is used as a reductant and slag foaming agent in the EAF process. In this experiment, after melt the metal in induction furnace and then add slag with carbon and Al dross powder as a reductant, we investigated the reduction of FetO from slag and change of Phophorus content. As the result, when we use Al dross as a reductant, recovery rate is two times more than carbon. Phosphorus pick up is less than 50ppm with reduction of EAF slag.

With the decline in discoveries of new oil fields and increasing demand from developing countries it is believed that enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies will play a key role to meet the energy demand in years to come. Based on the recently-published data, this paper discusses current status of global EOR market and technical development trends. The EOR market includes oil produced through various EOR recovery methods, such as thermal recovery, gas injection, chemical injection. Also, EOR methods are addressed screening criteria by reservoir and fluid characteristics including lithology, depth, thickness, and oil properties such as composition and gravity. Finally, the examples of field applied by various EOR methods are discussed with respect to reservoir characteristics and performance.

In order to recover tin from the waste tin plating solution, we used the ion exchange method using three types of ion exchange resins. The ion exchange resin with tertiary functional group(Lewatit TP 272) has not adsorption ratio of tin. The ion exchange resin with iminodiacetic functional group(Lewatit TP 207) has high adsorption ratio of tin, but impurity content in the recovered tin solution was relatively high. Whereas, in case of the ion exchange resin with functional group of ethylhexyl-phosphate(Lewatit VP OC 1026), adsorption ratio of tin was less than that of Lewatit TP 207. However, it was possible to remove impurities in the recovered tin solution by controlling the pH of the solution. High purity tin solution can be recovered by removing the organic materials with water washing process.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the method of physically processing oyster shells for use as raw material(aggregate) through experimentation. The results of the experiment found that the adequate particle size of the pulverized oyster shells should be smaller than 10mm due to their shape. Also, after considering various particle size distributions and residual rates by particle size, the study found the cutter mill to be the most suitable tool for pulverizing oyster shells. The use of a cutter mill resulted in recovery rates of 97.3%, 98.2%, and 98.9% for inner screens of 8mm, 12mm, and 20mm respectively, revealing how the increase of screen size results in slightly higher recovery rates. The experiment involving the difference between the inner screen of the cutter mill and the speed of the inverter shows that a smaller screen size and a faster inverter speed result in a lower fineness modulus, while a rise in inverter speed for an identical screen made possible the material recovery of a much lower range of particle sizes.
