  • Marine biomass is considered an important substrate for anaerobic digestion to recovery energy i.e. methane. Nevertheless, marine biomass has attracted little attention by researchers compared to terrestrial feedstock for anaerobic digestion. In this study, biochemical methane potential (BMP) test was used to evaluate generation of renewable energy from starfish. A cumulative biogas yield of $748{\pm}67mL\;g^{-1}VS^{-1}$ was obtained after 60 days of digestion. The cumulative methane yield of $486{\pm}28mL\;CH_4\;g^{-1}VS^{-1}$ was obtained after 60 days of digestion. The methane content of the biogas was approximately 70%. The calculated data applying the modified Gompertz equation for the cumulative $CH_4$ production showed good correlation with the experimental result obtained from this batch study. Since the result obtained from this study is comparable to results with other substrates, marine biomass can be co-digested with food waste or swine wastewater to produce $CH_4$ gas that will help to reduce the gap in global energy demand.

  • The purpose of this study, which has been conducted as a government and academic joint project, is to introduce the design, production and installation of the structures exhibited to let people know the meaning the environment-friendly eco-park - Haneul Park that is located in Mapo-gu, Seoul. The exhibition was held as a part of Green Garden Panorama of Seoul Design Fair 2010 and used the stands of Jamsil Sports Complex as the exhibition space. The key contents of the exhibition consist of four elements; firstly, green plants were placed on the first and second floor stands of the complex in order to create the space inside the main stadium as a space that symbolized green environment. Secondly, the usability of the containers of food was maximized to attract the spectator's interest and induce desire to have it. Thirdly, the efforts of the Mapo-gu office for green environment were emphasized using environment-friendly materials. The process and meaning of the transformation of Nanji Island that had been a waste dump site in the past into Haneul Park - an environment-friendly eco-park were expressed by a four-stage space structure. The majority of installations placed in each stage were sold to visitors during the event so as to minimize the generation of wastes after the event.

  • The longest tunnel has been halted at Daekwanryung by the failure of the host country of the Winter Olympiad in 2014, but modern High-Power TBM will come to Korea to excavate these long tunnels to establish the better horizontal connection between the western and eastern countries to improve the strong powerful logistic strategy of Korean peninsula. Train operation provides a key function of air movements in a long underground tunnel, and heat generation from transit vehicles may account of the most heat release to the ventilation and emergency systems. This paper indicates the optimal fire suppress services and safety provision for the long railway tunnel which is designed twin tunnel with length 22km in Gangwon province of Korea. The design of the fire-fighting systems and emergency were prepared by the operation of the famous long-railway tunnels as well as the severe lessons from the real fires in domestic and overseas experiences. Designers should concentrate the optimal solution for passenger's safety at the emergency state when tunnel fires, train crush accidents, derailment, and etc. The optimal fire-extinguishing facilities for long railway tunnels are presented for better safety of the comfortable operation in this hard rock tunnel of eastern mountains side of Korea. Since year 1900, hard rock tunnel construction has been launched for railway tunnels in Korea, tunnels have been built for various purposes not only for infrastructure tunnels including roadway, railway, subway, and but also for water and power supply, for deposit food, waste, and oils etc. Most favorable railway tunnel system was discussed in details; twin tunnels, distance of cross passage, ventilation systems, for the comfortable train operations in the future.

  • Dairy goat production continues to be a socially, economically and culturally important part of the livestock industry in North, Central and South America and the Caribbean islands. Goat milk, cheese and other dairy products offer consumers food products with nutritional, health and environmental benefits. In North America, Mexico produces the greatest volume of goat milk, but most is for family or local consumption that is typical of a mixed farming system adopted by subsistence farmers in dry areas. The United States is not yet a large global goat milk producer, but the sector has expanded rapidly, with dairy goat numbers doubling between 1997 and 2012. The number of dairy goats has also increased dramatically in Canada. Commercial farms are increasingly important, driven by rising demand for good quality and locally sourced goat cheese. In South America, Brazil has the most developed dairy goat industry that includes government assistance to small-scale producers and low-income households. As of 2017, FAO identified Haiti, Peru, Jamaica, and Bolivia as having important goat milk production in the Western Hemisphere. For subsistence goat producers in the Americas on marginal land without prior history of chemical usage, organic dairy goat production can be a viable alternative for income generation, with sufficient transportation, sanitation and marketing initiatives. Production efficiency, greenhouse gas emission, waste disposal, and animal welfare are important challenges for dairy goat producers in the Americas.

  • 본 연구는 음식물류폐기물의 직매립 금지가 매립지가스, 악취 및 침출수 발생에 미치는 영향을 평가하고 현행 제도의 타당성을 평가하기 위하여 실시하였다. 음식물류폐기물을 각각 약 45% (Exp.45)와 약 15% (Exp.15)를 충전한 2개의 매립모형조를 비교하였다. 570일 동안 매립지가스 발생량은 Exp.45가 1400 L로 Exp.15의 906 L보다 많았다. 매립가스 조성은 두 반응기 모두 메탄과 이산화탄소가 1 : 1 정도로 발생되어 큰 차이는 없었다. 황화수소는 Exp.15와 Exp.45에서 각각 2~7 ppmv과 2~30 ppmv가 발생하였다. 침출수량에는 큰 차이가 없었으나 $BOD_5$가 Exp.45는 37000 mg/L, Exp.15는 25630 mg/L를 나타내었고 $COD_{Cr}$도 각각 45480 mg/L와 30294 mg/L를 나타내었다. TOC의 농도도 운전기간 동안 Exp.45가 Exp.15보다 2~3배 정도 높았다. 음식물류폐기물 함량이 높은 폐기물 매립은 가스발생량을 증가시켰지만 악취발생 및 침출수 수질 악화 등 환경적 악영향을 더 많이 유발하였기 때문에 현행 음식물류폐기물의 분리배출 및 직매립 금지조치는 적절한 것으로 평가되었다.

  • 점도, 임펠러 종류, 소비전력 등에 의해 영향을 받는 생물학적 폐기물 처리시설 및 에너지 생산 플랜트에서 적절한 교반 시스템의 설계는 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 적절한 교반 시스템의 설계를 위해 음식물류폐기물을 이용하여 다양한 조건(운전 pH 및 농도)에서의 수소발효 시 유변학적 특성의 변화를 조사한 후, 이를 기반으로 교반강도를 설계하였다. 운전 pH에 따른 수소발효 실험에서 수소전환율은 $0.51{\sim}1.77mol\;H_2/mol\;hexose_{added}$였고, 가장 높은 수소전환율은 운전 pH 5.5에서 나타났다. 발효액은 전단속도가 증가함에 따라 점도가 감소하는 Shear thinning 거동을 보였다. 탄수화물이 분해되면서 발효 이후 점도는 초기 점도보다 감소하는 경향을 보였으나, 운전 pH의 변화에 따른 발효액의 점도 변화는 크지 않았다. 탄수화물 농도 10~50 g Carbo. COD/L에서 수소전환율은 $1.40{\sim}1.86mol\;H_2/mol\;hexose_{added}$로 운전 pH 조건이 수소전환율에 미친 영향과 비교했을 때 큰 차이는 없었다. 발효액의 Zero viscosity와 Infinite viscosity는 탄수화물 농도에 따라 각각 $10.4{\sim}346.2mPa{\cdot}s$$1.7{\sim}5.3mPa{\cdot}s$로 나타났는데, 10 g Carbo. COD/L와 20 g Carbo. COD/L에서 발효액의 점도 값은 거의 차이가 없었다. 실험 결과에 기초하여 교반강도를 설계한 결과, 기질농도 30 g Carbo. COD/L의 수소발효 초기 및 발효 후 교반강도는 각각 26.0, 10.0 rpm으로 약 2.5배 정도의 교반강도를 줄임으로써 에너지를 절약할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • The main purpose of this study is to analyze and examine the problems of the law systems of the safety and maintenance of nuclear facilities and to propose the improvements with respect to the related problems especialy focused on safety management of aquatic products. Therefore, the results of the paper would be helpful to build an effective management law system of safety and maintenance of nuclear facilities and fisheries products. The research methods are longitudinal and horizontal studies. This study compares domestic policies with foreign policies of nuclear plants and aquatic products. Using the above methods, examining the current system of nuclear-related laws and regulations, we have found that there exist 13 Acts including "Nuclear Safety Act", etc. Safety laws related on nuclear facilities have seven Acts including "Nuclear Safety Act", "the Act on Physical Protection and Radiological Emergency", "Radioactive waste control Act", "Act on Protective Action Guidelines against Radiation in the Natural Environment", "Special Act on Assistance to the locations of facilities for disposal low and intermediate level radioactive waste", "Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety Act". "Act on Establishment and Operation of the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission". The seven laws are composed of 119 legislations. They have 112 lower statute of eight Presidential Decrees, six Primeministrial Decrees and Ministrial Decrees, 92 administrative rules (orders), 6 legislations of local self-government aself-governing body. The concluded proposals of this paper are as follows. Firstly, we propose that the relationship between the special law and general law should be re-established. Secondly, the terms with respect to law system of safety and maintenance of nuclear plants should be redefined and specified. Thirdly, it is advisable to re-examine and re-establish the Law System for Safety and Maintenance of Nuclear Facilities. and environmental rights like the French Nuclear Safety Legislation. Lastly, inadequate legislation on the aquatic pollution damage should be re-established. It is necessary to ensure sufficient transparency as well as environmental considerations in the policy decisions of the Korean government and legislation of the National Assembly. It is necessary to further study the possibilities of accepting the implications of the French legal system as a legal system in Korea. In conclusion, the safety management of nuclear facilities is not only focused on the secondary industry and the tertiary industry centering on power generation and supply, but also on the primary industry, which is the food of the people. It is necessary to prevent damage to be foreseen. Therefore, it is judged that there should be no harm to the people caused by contaminated marine products even if the "Food Safety Law for Prevention of Radiation Pollution Damage" is enacted.
