A study was conducted in order to remove PVC from the waste plastic film mixture. The fittings of Air Table was modified to increase the separation efficiency of PVC. By using the improved air table, the PE and PVC was successfully separated from PVC-PE film mixture with the yield of PE 90% or more and with the content of PVC in PE 1% or less. The detail of the separation condition and result will be discussed in this paper.

In this study, detectors characteristics for simultaneous counting of alpha and beta ray in a pipe were estimated. The detector were composed of thin ZnS(Ag) scintillator and plastic detector. The scintillator for counting alpha particles has been applied a polymer composite sheet, having a double layer structure of an inorganic scintillator ZnS(Ag) layer adhered onto a polymer sub-layer. The other for counting beta particles used a commercially available plastic scintillator. It was confirmed that the detectors were suitable for counting the in-pipe contamination.

Flame retardancy and mechanical properties of polyolefinic mixed waste plastics/filler composites were investigated by using inorganic flame retardant(magnesium hydroxide) and PUB(polyurethane block) powder generated from cryogenic insulation process. All composites were obtained by extrusion and after compression molding. The effect of PUB powder on the properties of the composites was studied by tensile and izod impact test, morphology studies and flammability as LOI and UL94 vertical burning test and smoke density. The objective of this work is to obtain good mechanical properties from recycled PP composites with $Mg(OH)_{2}/PUB$ powder as fillers and optimum cost-performance balance, in addition to flame retardant characteristics.

플라스틱은 가볍고 물성이 뛰어나며 가공이 용이하면서도 낮은 가격 때문에 우리의 실생활에서 매일 사용되고 있다. 동시에 썩지 않는 특성 탓에 폐플라스틱에 의한 환경오염의 문제가 심해짐에 따라 전 세계적으로 일회용 포장재 및 용기에 사용되는 플라스틱의 사용을 금지하는 규제 및 폐플라스틱을 재활용하려는 시도가 늘어나고 있다. 하지만 인류가 지난 수십 년간 생산한 플라스틱은 약 83억 톤이지만 이중 약 10%정도만 재활용 되었을 정도로 폐플라스틱의 재활용 비율은 미비하다. 특히, 최근 코로나 팬데믹으로 인해 택배 및 배달음식 주문량이 늘어남에 따라 플라스틱의 사용량이 급증하여 폐플라스틱의 재활용 필요성은 더욱더 커지고 있다. 본 기고문에서는 불균일 촉매를 이용한 수소첨가 폐플라스틱의 분해에 관한 최신 연구동향을 다루고자 한다. 안정적이고 반응성 및 선택성이 뛰어난 촉매 개발은 폐플라스틱의 효과적인 분해를 위해서 매우 중요하다.

The purification, dissolution and powdering of stained waste silk obtained from weaving and dyeing process were studied for the surface modification of textile fabric and plastic materials. The whiteness of stained waste silk could be improved through degumming and bleaching with sodium hydrosulfite. The water-soluble fibroin solution can be obtained by dissoving the degummed waste silk in a boiling solution of 50% calcium chloride for 60 minutes. The salts and heavy metals contained in fibroin solution were removed by electric dialysis, wool fiber filtration and gel filtration chromatography. The fibroin powder was prepared by using a fine grinder after the alkali treatment for weakening the silk fiber. The fine fibroin powder of particle size around 30 ㎛ was obtained with a ultra fine-mill, while it was finer below 10 ㎛ with a ball-mill. The dissolved or powdered silk was applied to the surface of fabric with addition of the binder (a urethane resin). The moisture content of polyester and nylon fabrics treated with the silk solution was improved due to hygroscopic property of silk. The fine fibroin powder mixed with the binder ws coated on the surface of synthetic film by use of the air pressed sprayer. It was revealed that the hygroscopicity as well as the softness of fibroin powder coated film was much improved. Therefore, it is thought that the fine silk fibroin powder is applicable as an coating agent for the surface modification of plastic and synthetic leather.

We developed a miniaturized multi-dimensional radiation sensor system consisting of an inorganic scintillator array and plastic optical fibers. This system can be applied to remotely obtain the radioactivity distribution and identify the radionuclides in radioactive waste by utilizing a scanning method. Variation in scintillation light was measured in two-dimensional regions of interest and then converted into radioactivity distribution images. Outliers present in the images were removed by using a digital filter to make the hot spot location more accurate and cubic interpolation was applied to make the images smoother and clearer. Next, gamma-ray spectroscopy was performed to identify the radionuclides, and three-dimensional volume scanning was also performed to effectively find the hot spot using the proposed array sensor.

Recycled synthetic resin materials produced from waste vinyl and waste plastic contain many foreign substances. Plastic products made from this recycled resin materials containing foreign substances are of poor quality, with reduced the strength and rigidity. Foreign substances include heavy metals, cement, foil, dyed paper and dust. In this study, the scratch-Dies process; which remove foreign sbustances, with precision and automation, through a three-stage mesh filter, is designed. The process is evaluated with finite element analysis according to vibration loading and make. After installing the manufactured equipment, recycled resin was producde, and its heavy metal content was evaluated. Recycled synthetic resin materials were also used plastic products and evaluate their strength. In addition, the change in production was assessed.

Experiments were performed to investigate the melting characteristics of pellet fuel made of LDPE and PP for a waste plastic firing boiler. Pellet fuel in a burner goes through conduction, convection and radiation transferred from flame in a furnace, and complex thermo/chemical processes. To figure out effects of ambient temperature and size of pellet on melting time pellets with a diameter from 5 mm to 40 mm were made to contact high temperature flue gas generated by a LNG firing pilot burner. Though melting processes of plastics include complicated heat transfer in a burner, parameters are limited to flue gas temperature and size for the simplicity in this study. From the results, melting times of LDPE and PP with a diameter of 5mm are 63 and 62 secs respectively at 600 $^{\circ}C$ while 677 and 583 sees respectively for a diameter of 40 mm. At $900^{\circ}C$, melting times of LDPE and PP with a diameter of 5mm are 21 and 24 sees respectively while 408 and 337 secs respectively for a diameter of 40 mm. It is found that melting time of LDPE is longer than that of PP, and melting times of both in general increase with diameter of pellets. It is thought melting is dependent mostly on melting temperature of plastic. It is expected melting times obtained from the study might be taken into account in designing a pellet firing burner for a boiler
