This study was performed to the municipal waste generation amounts and characteristics for B city in Gangwon province, predicted the methane gas generation rate emitted from landfill, and analyzed the possibility of energy recovery to RDF(Refuse Derived Fuel) using combustible waste. The study results showed that the average bulk density of municipal waste for B city was 144.0 kg/$m^3$, and the average ratios of combustible waste were 36.0 % of paper, 21.6 % of vinyl, and 19.7 % of food waste. respectively. In the experiment for heating value, high and low heating value(moisture) was measured to 3,471 $kca{\ell}$/kg and 2,941 $kca{\ell}$/kg, respectively. After the prohibition of burying of food waste in landfill, the heating value of municipal waste was dramatically increased due to increase of the ratio of paper, vinyl, and plastic waste. The prediction results of methane gas generation rate emitted from landfill showed that the gas generation rate is increasing to 2,505.7 CH4 ton/year in 2021. After then, the rate is decreasing gradually. When the RDF facility is installed, the rate is decreasing after peaking at 1,956.9 CH4 ton/year in 2013. The generation rate of LFG emitted from waste landfill of B city was analyzed to 9.92 $m^3$/min, similar to 10.11 $m^3$/min for other city.

본 연구는 하이드로퀴논(HQ)을 이용하여 매립가스로부터 이산화탄소를 선택적으로 분리하고 유기 크러스레이트 형태로 분리 및 저장에 적용하기 위한 연구로써 하이드로퀴논을 다양한 객체가스와 반응시키면서 열역학적 안정영역을 파악하고 분광학적 방법을 이용하여 미세구조 변화를 분석하고자 하였다. 먼저 ${\alpha}$-HQ를 고압(4MPa)의 이산화탄소와 반응시켜 이산화탄소가 포집된 ${\beta}$-HQ를 합성하였고, 동공 내에 존재하는 이산화탄소를 제거하여 동공을 유지하는 empty ${\beta}$-HQ를 만들었다. 온도를 증가시키면서 XRD 패턴을 측정한 결과 298 K 에서 378 K 사이에서 ${\beta}$-HQ 시료는 서서히 empty ${\beta}$-HQ 의 구조로 전환되었으며 378 K 이상의 온도에서 ${\alpha}$-HQ 구조로 급격히 전환되었다. 또한 생성된 empty ${\beta}$-HQ 동공에 이산화탄소가 포집, 해리되는데 있어서 온도의 영향을 확인하기 위해 298K과 343K의 온도에서 실시간 라만분광법으로 측정하였다. 그 결과 298K에서 약 200분의 시간이 지난 후 이산화탄소는 하이드로퀴논 동공 내로 포집되어 안정화되었으며 압력해방 후에는 빠져나가지 않고 동공 내에 존재함을 확인하였다. 그러나 343K에서는 급격히 포집되어 30분 이내 안정화되었고, 압력해방 후 동공 내에 존재하지 못하고 빠져나가는 것을 확인하였다. Empty ${\beta}$-HQ의 이산화탄소 선택도를 관찰하기 위해 이산화탄소와 메탄, 수소, 질소의 조성이 각각 30%, 30%, 20%, 20%인 혼합가스와 반응시킨 후 가스 크로마토그래프 분석을 실시한 결과, empty ${\beta}$-HQ내 포집된 가스 중 이산화탄소의 조성이 약 80% 이상으로 나타나 높은 선택도를 나타냄을 관찰하였다.

This research was to develope the economical treatment processes of the landfill leachate to meet the legal discharge standards. To achieve this purpose, experiments were conducted in laboratory to choose the optimum process and to obtain the design factors before a pi!ot-scale test. The concept of the process developing in this research was using the reverse osmosis system. The submerged membrane bio-reactor was used to achieve pre-treatment of reverse osmosis system and the concentrate was treated by evaporator with land fill gas as a fuel. The results of the research showed that SS, $BOD_5$, $COD_{cr}$, $NH_4{^+}-N$ and T-N were removed 99.0%, 43.0%, 12.9%, 48.5% and 18.7% respectively in the submerged membrane bio-reactor. The reverse osmosis system could remove $BOD_5$, $COD_{cr}$, $NH_4{^+}-N$ and T-N as an efficiency of97.5%, 97.6%, 79.7% and 85.4% respectively. The evaporator could remove $COD_{cr}$, $NH_4{^+}-N$ and T-N as an efficiency of 90.5%, 50.6% and 63.3% respectively. However the condensed water of the evaporator was not satisfied the legal standard and should be treated in reverse osmosis with the pre-treated leachate.

Growing complexity in ecosystem structure and functions, under impacts of climate and land-use changes, requires interdisciplinary understandings of processes and the whole-system, and accurate estimates of the changing functions. In the last three decades, observation networks for biodiversity, ecosystems, and ecosystem functions under climate change, have been developed by interested scientists, research institutions and universities. In this paper we will review (1) the development and on-going activities of those observation networks, (2) some outcomes from forest carbon cycle studies at our super-site "Takayama site" in Japan, and (3) a few ideas how we connect in-situ and satellite observations as well as fill observation gaps in the Asia-Oceania region. There have been many intensive research and networking efforts to promote investigations for ecosystem change and functions (e.g., Long-Term Ecological Research Network), measurements of greenhouse gas, heat, and water fluxes (flux network), and biodiversity from genetic to ecosystem level (Biodiversity Observation Network). Combining those in-situ field research data with modeling analysis and satellite remote sensing allows the research communities to up-scale spatially from local to global, and temporally from the past to future. These observation networks oftern use different methodologies and target different scientific disciplines. However growing needs for comprehensive observations to understand the response of biodiversity and ecosystem functions to climate and societal changes at local, national, regional, and global scales are providing opportunities and expectations to network these networks. Among the challenges to produce and share integrated knowledge on climate, ecosystem functions and biodiversity, filling scale-gaps in space and time among the phenomena is crucial. To showcase such efforts, interdisciplinary research at 'Takayama super-site' was reviewed by focusing on studies on forest carbon cycle and phenology. A key approach to respond to multidisciplinary questions is to integrate in-situ field research, ecosystem modeling, and satellite remote sensing by developing cross-scale methodologies at long-term observation field sites called "super-sites". The research approach at 'Takayama site' in Japan showcases this response to the needs of multidisciplinary questions and further development of terrestrial ecosystem research to address environmental change issues from local to national, regional and global scales.
