The yield is increasing as the manufacturing technology of ceramics progresses, however, there are many ceramics of poor quality due to variables upon producing ceramics. Some of those waste ceramics are recycled by sanitary ware or tile manufacturers, but most of them are filled in making environmental problem. Therefore, a research begins to recycle waste ceramic ware as alternative to some imported ceramic ware materials and to reduce environmental pollution. This study, succeeding last study which applied waste white ware as ceramic body material, aimed to solve problems of environment and materials by recycling waste ceradon generated in specially formed areas for ceramic in Gyeonggi-do such as Icheon, Yeoju and Gwangju as the ceramic body material. Consequently, the addition of waste ceramic ware into the ceramic body was judged to have limit up to 30% according to plasticity measurement. As we added shredded waste ceramic ware as much as 30% into basic ceramic body and checked its features, the pore rate and absorption rate were good to be average 4% and 3% respectively. In addition, it showed strength more than 720 kgf/$cm^2$ which is higher than existing ceradon body on the market with good sinter state; so it is judged to be available or developed as new ceramic body.

The influx of Western culture and the food culture have altered the tableware of Korea, increasing the amount of using tableware. The representative tableware is known as bone china. Considering not only the amount of bone china waste generated from broken tableware at homes and but also faulty bone china products at factories, the bone china waste disposed in simple landfills is to be a serious environmental problem to solve. In this study, following "the research on development of ceramics body using waste celadon" of which the possibility was confirmed, development of ceramics body is conducted by recycling waste bone china. From the result of the study, it was understood that maximum addition of waste bone china was 20% of the whole material on the basis of measurement of plasticity. So 20% of pulverized bone china was added and the characteristics were evaluated, and the result was that porosity, water absorptivity and plasticity were 0.756%, 0.339% and 24.13%, respectively. Bending strength was $672\;kgf/cm^2$, which showed a good sintering condition. Therefore, it was considered that waste bone china could be utilized for development of new porcelain material.

Ceramics manufacturers in the nation produced more than 5000 tons of ceramics wastes a year increasing industrial waste quantity: However, almost no researches were made to reduce environmental pollution and to recycle waste ware. In this study, white ware scraps that were produced at Icheon, Gyeonggi-do were recycled to make use of them as raw materials of ceramics body and to develop new ceramics body that had economic advantages and good quality. The findings showed that the addition of waste ware had limit of 20 wt% considering molding. The addition of waste ware of 20 wt% to white ware lowered baking temperature of the white ware that was added by waste ware of 20 wt% by 30$^{\circ}C$ than existing white ware, and property values were good, for instance, porosity of 3% in average and water absorptivity of 2% in average, and the bending strength recorded more than 800 kgf/$cm^2$ to be high than that of existing white ware being sold in market. The waste ware could be used to produce new ware body and to recycle resources and to solve environmental problems caused by burial and to improve property of ceramics and to save transportation costs as well as baking costs.

The cement for solidification of the toxic waste was fabricated using a mixture of the waste concrete powder and blast furnace slag in the ratio of 1:1 and its hydrate morphology and compressive strength of the sample were evaluated in order to apply to the solidification of the COREX sludge. The X-ray diffraction analysis of the sample which prepared by the addition of 10% Portland cement and hemihydrate showed the presence of $Ca(OH)_2$, ettringite, gel-phase and C-S-H hydrate. Compressive strength of the sample exhibited enough high to use as a solidification cement. The strength of the sample was over 140 kgf/$m^2$ in 7 days in case of solidification of the COREX sludge and the sample possess sufficient morphology for the solidification and stabilization of the waste sludge.

In the study, herbaceous biomass waste including giant miscanthus, corn stalk, and wheat stalk were used to prepare commercially valuable activated carbons by KOH activation. The waste biomass predominantly consists of cellulose/hemicellulose and lignin, in which decomposition after carbonization and activation contributed to commercially valuable specific surface areas (>$2000m^2/g$) and specific capacitances (>120 F/g) that exceeded those of commercial activated carbon. The significant electrochemical performance of the herbaceous biomass-derived activated carbons indicated the feasibility of utilizing waste biomass to fabricate energy storage materials. Furthermore, with respect to both economic and environmental perspectives, it is advantageous to obtain activated carbon from herbaceous biomass waste given the ease of handling biomass and the low production cost of activated carbon.

The dependence of the chemical durability of simulated waste glasses containing the simplified waste similar to the SRP waste on compositions of host glasses, amounts of waste loading, and kinds of leachants has been investigated as a basic study on the waste immobilization through vitrification. The maximum limit of the amount of waste loading for glassforming with the host sodium borosilicate glasses selected in this study was 50wt%. The chemical durability of waste glasses whose host glass belonged to the immiscible composition region was much higher than that of waste glasses whose host glass belonged to the miscible composition region. The former waste glass showed lower chemical durability in deionized and silicate waters than in brine, while the latter glass showed the lowest chemical durability in deionized and silicate waters than in brine, while the latter glass showed the lowest chemical durability in silicate water. It was also observed that the total leaching rates in brine were noticeably small in comparison with those in other solutions. The composition of the host borosilicate glass which was suitable for the treatment of the waste through vitrification was found to be 25 Na2O-5B2O3-70SiO2(wt.%).

Current plans for legacy nuclear wastes stored in underground tanks at the U.S. Department of Energy's Hanford Site in Washington are that they will be separated into high-level waste and low-activity waste fractions that will be vitrified separately. Formulating optimized glass compositions that maximize the waste loading in glass is critical for successful and economical treatment and immobilization of these nuclear wastes. Glass property-composition models have been developed and applied to formulate glass compositions for various objectives for the past several decades. Property models with associated uncertainties combined with composition and property constraints have been used to develop preliminary glass formulation algorithms designed for vitrification process control and waste-form qualification at the planned waste vitrification plant. This paper provides an overview of the current status of glass property-composition models, constraints applicable to Hanford waste vitrification, and glass formulation approaches that have been developed for vitrification of hazardous and highly radioactive wastes stored at the Hanford Site.
