The rapid industrial development is facing problem due to energy depletion in Korea. So that, it can be necessary to develop alternative energy sources. Alternative energy like biofuels can be produced by using waste fuel, which is ecofriendly. As we know, the organic waste was banned to dump in landfill and ocean dumping. The most practicable method usually used to reduce organic waste is getting feedstuff or composting, considering the discharge characteristics of agricultural by-products waste treatment were selected. In this study, bio-coal was made using agriculture by product. Biocoal was prepared by adding 50 g of uniformly mixture into reactor and was carbonized at low temperatures 210, 220, and 230℃. The time of reaction was 1, 2 and 3 hours. Bio-coal approximately was similar to the standard of solid fuels. Other characteristics of fuel were also studied. The experiments which were analyzed were moisture content and calorific value, ash, chlorine, sulfur and heavy metals analysis as mercury, cadmium, lead, arsenic, and chromium. As a result, bio-coal 220℃, 2 hours was the optimal conditions while heating.

The development of coal-fired power plants to ensure energy security and electricity consumption is a matter for the Vietnam economy. However, the huge amount of ash discharged is a major environmental challenge. It is estimated that by the end of 2017, the amount of ash in the country is about 40 million tons and annually emitted over 16.4 million tons. While the quantity of coal-fired power plant is rising, the ash content will increase year by year if the ash doesn't treat well. The ash will be increased from 61 million tons in 2018 to 109 million tons in 2020, 248 million tons in 2025 and 422 million tons in 2030. The difficulties of coal-fired power plants are the problem of ash handling, some plants are at risk of closure because there are not enough dump capacity to storage. Therefore, Vietnam is in need of urgent measures to treat a large amount of waste from coal-fired power plants. The specific objectives of this study were as follows: (1) provide an overview of coal ash situation produced by coal-fired power plants in Vietnam; (2) study about regulations related to coal ash treatment; (3) comprehend the literature review of the cement sector status.

본 연구에서는 강원도 태백시 장성동에 위치한 석탄 폐석 적치장에 대해 2006년부터 2018년 사이에 제작된 6개의 수치표고모델(Digital Elevation Model)을 이용하여 폐석 적치량을 산정하고, Sentinel-1 SAR 영상에 Persistent Scatterer Interferometric SAR (PSInSAR) 기법을 이용하여 침하를 관찰하였다. 수치표고모델을 이용하여 적치 활동 양상을 확인한 결과, 2006년부터 2018년까지 약 12년 동안 총 1,668,980 m³의 폐석이 적치되었다. PSInSAR 수행 후 관측되는 침하속도는 상향 및 하향 궤도 방향으로 각각 -32.3 mm/yr, -40.2 mm/yr의 최대 침하속도를 보였다. 폐석 두께가 증가함에 따라 빠른 침하속도가 관측되었으며, 적치 완료 시점이 최근일수록 침하가 빠르게 발생하는 경향이 나타났다. 상향 및 하향 궤도의 침하속도를 수직, 수평 성분으로 변환하고 임의의 참조점 22개를 설정하여 침하속도와 폐석 두께 및 적치 완료 시점과 비교하였다. 그 결과, 참조점의 침하속도는 폐석 두께와의 관계에 있어서 PSInSAR 결과와 유사하게 폐석의 두께가 두꺼워질수록 빠르게 관측되는 경향을 보였다. 반면에 적치 완료 시점과 참조점에서의 침하속도 사이의 뚜렷한 상관성이 파악되지 않았는데 22개의 참조점 중 5개를 제외한 나머지 참조점에서의 적치 완료 시점이 2010년에 지나치게 편중되어 상관성 분석이 무의미하였다. 이 연구와 같이 수치표고모델과 PSInSAR를 이용하면 폐석 적치장의 안전 관리에 있어 부족한 현장자료를 보완할 효과적인 대안책이 될 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.

Since mine wastes were merely dumped in the mine waste dump, they have produced acid mine drainage (AMD). Therefore, main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of coal combustion products (CCPs) on heavy metal stabilization and detoxification for mine wastes. Total six treatments for incubation test were conducted depending on mixing method (completely mixing and layered). Also, lysimeter experiment was conducted to examine efficiency of polyacrylamide (PAM) on reduction of mine wastes erosion. Result of incubation test showed that concentrations of soluble aluminium (Al) and iron (Fe) in leachate decreased compared to control. The lowest soluble Al and Fe in leachate was observed in 50% mixed treatment (14.2 and $1.03mg\;kg^{-1}$ for Al and Fe respectively) compared to control treatment (253.0 for Al and $52.6mg\;kg^{-1}$ for Fe). The pH of mine wastes (MW) and leachate increased compared to control after mixing with CCPs and ordered as control (MW 6.4, leachate 6.3) < 10% (MW 7.7, leachate 7.1) < 20% (MW 9.0, leachate 7.8) < 30% (MW 9.5, leachate 8.3) < 40% (MW 9.9, leachate 8.5) < 50% (MW 10.5, leachate 8.6). Application of PAM, both in liquid and granular type, dramatically decreased the suspended solid (SS) concentration of CCPs treatments. Reduction of SS loss was ordered as MW70CR30L ($24.4mg\;L^{-1}$) > MW70CR30LPL ($6.7mg\;L^{-1}$) > NT ($3.1mg\;L^{-1}$) > MW70CR30M ($1.6mg\;L^{-1}$) > MW70CR30MPL ($1.1mg\;L^{-1}$) > MW70CR30PGM ($0.7mg\;L^{-1}$) > MW70CR30LPG ($0.5mg\;L^{-1}$) > MW70CR30MPG ($0.4mg\;L^{-1}$). Overall, application of CCPs can be environmental friendly and cost-effective way to remediate coal mine wastes contaminated with heavy metals. In addition, use of PAM could help to prevent the erosion coal mine wastes in mine waste disposal area.
