In this study, a carbonation test was conducted on cementitious composites reinforced with recycled waste rope fibers (W series) according to EN 12390-12 standards. The test results were compared to those of commercially available polypropylene fibers (P series). In the carbonation test, both the carbonation depth and area were significantly influenced by the water-to-cement ratio. Notably, the carbonation resistance performance of cementitious composites containing waste rope fibers surpassed that of commercially available PP fibers under equivalent conditions. Throughout the 250-day test period, the W series exhibited higher compressive strength values than the P series, while both series displayed a similar trend of strength increase during the same duration. During the initial stage, the W series exhibited flexural strength levels similar to those of the P series. However, in the later stages, the P series showed a higher mean flexural strength by 1.0 MPa.

본 연구는 저탄소 녹색성장의 국가 정책에 맞추어 주류 제조과정에서 발생하는 생전분발효 부산물인 주박(酒粕, 술지게미)을 펠릿화(pellet) 하는 것이 목적이다. 주류 제조과정에서 발생하는 주박을 100g당 물 100ml 비율로 섞어 충분히 반죽 후 녹즙기로 압축 성형화 하는 과정을 대신 하여 주박을 뽑았다. 이 주박을 온열 건조기에서 20시간이상 건조 시키면 완성이 된다. 주박펠릿은 폐기물을 재활용한 것이기 때문에 열량-가격대비를 비교해 보았을 때 등유 8950kcal-1000원/L, 경유 9050kcal-1433원/L, 면세경유 9050kcal-821/L, 우드 1812kcal-400원/kg, 주박 1989kcal-200원/kg으로 훨씬 저렴하며 열량도 높다. 주류업체에서 주박을 폐기물 처리하므로 가격 책정은 어렵다. $CO_2$ 발생량도 적어 온실가스를 절감시킬 수 있는 친환경적인 청정연료이다. 또한 연료로서 운송, 저장 및 보관이 편리하다. 주류업체도 주박 처리로 인해 연간 12억 정도 사용된다. 폐기물을 에너지화 함으로써 타 신재생에너지에 비해 초기 투자 비용이나 연료비가 저렴하다. 그리고 태우고 남은 회분은 토양개량제로 다시 재활용 되기 때문에 무해백익하다. 현재 폐목재를 사용한 우드펠릿은 원료를 수입해야 한다는 점과 삼림자원의 부족시 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 그리고 폐목재를 분쇄한 후 가공 및 성형을 해야 하기 때문에 주박이 효율성이 좋다. 현재 세계에서 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 석유나 화석연료의 매장량이 고갈 되어가고 있다. 하지만 주박은 술이 사라지지 않는 한 계속적으로 발생하기 때문에 무궁무진하게 사용이 가능하다. 또한 주류 제조시 발생하는 주박은 바로 성형 및 가공이 용이하다. 현재 주박으로 만든 펠릿은 전 세계적으로 전무하다. 막걸리 및 전통술의 특화사업으로 주박량은 더욱 증가하고 있다. 더욱이 2012년부터 해양 투기 금지로 주박 폐기물 처리가 힘들어진다. 주박 폐기물을 펠릿화해서 에너지원으로 사용하면 해결이 된다. 주박의 에너화를 통해 재생산의 열원으로 사용되고 펠릿을 연료원과 더불어 기계적인 시스템을 개발한다면 저탄소 녹색성장인 국가 정책과 부합된 미래형 에너지가 될 것이다.

Despite the continuous installation and regular inspection of waste treatment facilities, complaints about excessive incineration and illegal dumping stench continue to occur at on-site treatment facilities. In addition, field surveys were conducted on the waste treatment facilities currently in operation (6 type) to understand the waste treatment process for each field, to grasp the main operating factors applied to the inspection. In addition, we calculated the material·energy balance for each main process and confirmed the proper operation of the waste disposal facility. As a result of the site survey, in the case of heat treatment facilities such as incineration, cement kilns, and incineration heat recovery facilities, the main factors are maintenance of the temperature of the incinerator required for incineration and treatment of the generated air pollutants, and in the case of landfill facilities Retaining wall stability, closed landfill leachate and emission control emerged as major factors. In the case of sterilization and crushing facilities, the most important factor is whether or not sterilization is possible (apobacterium inspection).In the case of food distribution waste treatment facilities, retention time and odor control during fermentation (digestion, decomposed) are major factors. Calculation results of material balance and energy resin for each waste treatment facility In the case of incineration facilities, it was confirmed that the amount of flooring materials generated is about 14 % and the amount of scattering materials is about 3 % of the amount of waste input, and that the facility is being operated properly. In addition, among foodwaste facilities, in the case of an anaerobic digestion facility, the amount of biogas generated relative to the amount of inflow is about 17 %, and the biogas conversion efficiency is about 81 %, in the case of composting facility, about 11 % composting of the inflow waste was produced, and it was comfirmend that all were properly operated. As a result, in order to improve the inspection method for waste treatment facilities, it is necessary not only to accumulate quantitative standards for detailed inspection methods, but also to collect operational data for one year at the time of regular inspections of each facility, Grasping the flow and judging whether or not the treatment facility is properly operated. It is then determined that the operation and management efficiency of the treatment facility will increase.

New and renewable energy sources have drawn attention because of climate change. Many studies have been carried out in waste-to-energy field. Fast pyrolysis of waste lignocelluosic biomass is one of the waste-to-energy technologies. Bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) reactor is widely used for fast pyrolysis of the biomass. In BFB pyrolyzer, bubble behavior influences on the chemical reaction. Accordingly, in the present study, hydrodynamic characteristics and fast pyrolysis reaction of waste lignocellulosic biomass occurring in a BFB pyrolyzer are scrutinized. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of the fast pyrolysis reactor is carried out by using Eulerian-Granular approach. And two-stage semi-global kinetics is applied for modeling the fast pyrolysis reaction of waste lignocellulosic biomass. To summarize, generation and ascendant motion of bubbles in the bed affect particle behavior. Thus biomass particles are well mixed with hot sand and consequent rapid heat transfer occurs from sand to biomass particles. As a result, primary reaction is observed throughout the bed. And reaction rate of tar formation is the highest. Consequently, tar accounts for 66wt.% of the product gas. However, secondary reaction occurs mostly in the freeboard. Therefore, it is considered that bubble behavior and particle motions hardly influences on the secondary reaction.

The development of the electrical, electronic, and telecommunication industries has increased the share of electricity in total energy consumption. With the enforcement of the Act on the Promotion of the Development, Use, and Diffusion of New and Renewable Energy in 2021, the mandatory supply ratio of new and renewable energy is expected to expand, and the amount of waste cables generated in the stage of replacing and discarding cables used in the industry is also expected to increase. The purpose of this study was to quantify the environmental burden of waste cable recycling through the life cycle assessment (LCA) method. The results showed that the higher the amount of glue contained in the waste cable, the greater was the amount of fine dust and greenhouse gases generated. In addition, by assigning weights to 10 environmental burden items, it was confirmed that the marine aquatic eco-toxicity potential (MAETP) and human toxicity potential (HTP) had the greatest environmental burden. The main causes were identified as heptane and ethanol, which were the glue contained in the waste cable and the cleaning solutions used to remove them. Therefore, it is necessary to refrain from using glue in the cable production process and reduce the environmental burden by reducing the use of waste cable cleaning solutions used in the recycling process or using alternative materials.

Combustible waste into energy policy is an effective method to respond to climate change and depletion of fossil fuels. Combustible waste into energy is the process of generating energy in the form of electricity and/or heat from the combustible waste such as vinyl, paper and plastic. This study tries to estimate the external benefit of enhancing the ratio of combustible waste into energy to primary energy from 1.89% to 5% using contingent valuation(CV) method. To this end, we report the results from a CV survey to elicit the willingness to pay (WTP) for combustible waste into energy. A CV survey of 500 households was conducted in the Seoul by using person-to-person interviews. Thus, the procedures of applying and the findings from the one-and-one-half bounded dichotomous choice spike model used to deal with the zero WTP responses are provided in the paper. The results show that the average WTP is estimated to be 2,724 won per household per month and statistically significant at the 5% level. Expanding the value to the Seoul gives us an aggregate value of 13.7 billion won per year.
