This paper presents the numerical analysis of process of sludge drying to know the characteristics of design parameters and develop the new process plant. Finite volume method and $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model were used to analogy the sludge drying furnace. It has been attempted to perform the disposal of sewage sludge such as simple reclaiming and dumping in sea and incineration. Currently, these methods are restricted by national or international government regulations. The drying process is adopted as an effective method for sewage sludge treatment. However sewage sludge makes it difficult to treat with a large volume at the real drying process plant because of its own complicated physical, chemical, and thermal properties. The final design value of moisture content with 10% of the dried sludge can be obtained through the simulated outputs in this study.

Large amounts of sludge produced by paper mill industries represent one of the most serious environmental problems in the world. Recently, beekeepers living in the neighborhood of the paper mill in Hwasan County, Youngcheon city, GB, Korea, became alarmed that honey bee colonies were dying off suddenly across the neighborhood. A preliminary study was conducted to evaluate the toxicity (oral, fumigation, repellent) of recycled solid paper mill sludge (SPMS) and leachate paper mill sludge (LPMS) to honey bee workers under laboratory conditions, and to analyze the volatile organic compounds(VOC). The SPMS and LPMS were separately subjected to a liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) at three temperatures to extract VOC(highest VOC yields: 1.52% SPMS and 0.34% LPMS). A total of 70 chemicals were detected in the VOC of paper mill sludges, of which 49 and 21 volatile organic compounds from SPMS and LPMS, respectively. The SPMS was dominated by high degree presence of stanols (saturated sterols), such as cholestanol, cholestan-3-ol and also saturated hydrocarbons. However, LPMS was characterized by the absence of sterols. Both SPMS and LPMS showed an influence on the olfactory behavior of honey bee on Y-tube assay, with repulsion rates of 72 and 68%, respectively. Both SPMS and LPMS at concentration of 100mg/mL caused higher honey bee oral mortality than the untreated controls at 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours after treatment(highest oral mortality at 120 hr: 85.74%(SPMS); 93.51 % (LPMS)). A similar pattern was observed when honey bees were tested to fumigant toxicity. Both SPMS and LPMS caused significant higher mortality than the untreated control 24 hour after the exposure (highest fumigation mortality at 120 hr: 69.4% (SPMS); 56.8% (LPMS)). These preliminary results indicated that paper mill sludge could be partly responsible for sudden death and disappearance of honey bees, especially in hot humid summer days. With climate change, the risk of environmental chemical exposure to honey bee would pose greater attention.

The emission difference of SOx, NOx, TSP and dioxine was investigated in commercial CFB boiler, when coal and three kinds of RDFs were co-combusted respectively. The each mixing ratio was 7.5% RPF, 7.5% RDF and 10% SDF with coal. Emitting dioxine concentration was proportioned to the chlorine content of RDF. No trouble was found on normal boiler operation during co-combustion. These RPF, SDF and RDF could be determined to be a good alternative fuel of general coal.

이 연구에서는 우리나라에서 유기성 슬러지의 배출량이 많은 6개 주요 산업 업종의 54개 사업장에서 채취한 98개 폐수처리 슬러지에 대하여 PAHs 함량을 조사하였다. 슬러지에 대한 해양배출허용기준과 비교시 C업종의 슬러지는 Nap에 대하여 제1기준과 제2기준을 모두 초과하는 시료가 1건, PC업종의 슬러지에서 Ant와 Fla에 대하여 제2기준을 초과하는 시료가 1건 있었다. ${\Sigma}_{16}PAHs$는 PC> C > CD> PP >WS > FB업종의 순으로 높았다. 슬러지의 육상 이용시 ${\Sigma}_{16}PAHs$ 함량농도를 규제하는 EU와 덴마크의 기준과 비교하였을 때 EU의 기준은 PC업종에서 1건, 덴마크 기준은 C업종과 PC업종에서 각 1건의 시료가 초과하였다. 7종 발암성 PAHs에 대한 ${\Sigma}_7PAHs$은 상대적으로 PC, CD, C업종에서 높게, PP, WS업종에서 낮았으며, FB업종에서는 검출되지 않았다. 슬러지에서의 PAHs의 농도에 대한 ANOVA 분석결과 발생업종과 채취시기에 의한 영향은 없는 것으로 나타났다. 개별 PAHs간 상관분석결과 4-ring 이상의 HMW PAHs 농도간에 상관성이 높았다. ${\Sigma}_{16}PAHs$와는 0.7 이상의 높은 상관성을 갖는 PAHs는 Acy, Ant, Fla, B(a)A, B(f)F, B(a)P 이었다. 주성분분석의 결과 98개의 슬러지는 전체 데이터의 약 70%의 설명력을 갖는 두 개의 주성분에 의해 세 개의 그룹으로 특성별로 분리될 수 있었다. 국내/외 선행연구와의 비교 결과 ${\Sigma}_{16}PAHs$는 스위스의 연구 결과와 비슷하였다.
