Until recently, disposal to landfill has been the most convenient way to deal with the increasing amount of residues the shredding industries produce. But the shortage of such disposal sites and the risk that liquid drained from these waste dusts may pollute ground water have increased the environmental pressures to find more effective solutions. The present study is an alternative approach that suggests identifying waste dusts characteristics and selecting an appropriate binder for hazardous materials to reduce the amount of contaminants (mainly lead) that were leaking into the soil. Investigations on the characteristics of automobiles waste dusts show that these materials are composed mainly of cottons and sponge like substances, plastics, rubber, glasses and gravel, metals, and electric wires. Besides, the percentage in weight of organic (inflammable) materials is about 70% and the lead contamination, which has not a ionic but a particulate nature, is particularly remarkable in cottons and sponge like materials. Binding additives such as K-20 and sodium carbonate were not effective but the addition of 5 % of cement (in weight of the investigated sample) followed by a 3-minute stirring and a 4-hour storage could drastically reduce the run off of lead below the maximum authorized level. No addition of water was necessary in this method.

Non-edible vegetable oils instead of edible vegetable oils as a substitute for diesel fuel are getting a renewed attention because of global reduction of green house gases and concerns for long-term food and energy security. Out of various non-edible vegetable oils, karanja, mahua, linseed, rubber seed and cotton seed oils are selected in this study. A brief review of recent works related to the application of the above five vegetable oils and its derivatives in CI engines is presented. The production technologies of biodiesel based on non-edible vegetable oils are introduced. Problems in vegetable oil or biodiesel fuelled CI engine are included. In addition, future works related to spray characteristics of non-edible vegetable oil or biodiesel from it are discussed. The biodiesel fuel, irrespective of the feedstock used, results in a decrease in the emission of hydrocardon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM) and sulphur dioxide ($SO_2$). It is also said to be carbon neutral as it contributes no net carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Only oxides of nitrogen (NOx) are reported to increase which is due to oxygen content in the biodiesel fuel. The systematic assessment of spray char-acteristics of neat vegetable oils and its blends, neat biodiesel and its blends f3r use as diesel engine fuels is required.

조직공학은 기능을 상실한 인체를 대체하거나 복원하기 위해 인공대체품을 개발하기 위한 중요한 학문이다. 특히, 세포가 자랄 수 있는 지지체 역할을 하는 스캐폴드는 조직공학 연구를 위한 중요한 부분을 차지하고 있다. 그래서, 3차원 조직공학용 스캐폴드 개발을 위한 다양한 제조 방법을 소개하고자 하였다. 스캐폴드의 일반적인 제조방법으로는 염침출법 (solvent-casting particulate-leaching), 염 발포법 (gas foaming/salt leaching), fiber meshes/fiber bonding 법, 상분리법 (phase separation), melt moulding 법, 동결 건조법 (freeze drying)이 있으며, 넓은 표면적을 가진 스캐폴드 개발방법으로 전기방사법이 알려져 있다. 또한, 최근에는 스캐폴드 내부의 균일한 세포의 침투를 유도하기 위해 적당한 공극크기를 조절하고 우수한 공극률을 가진 스캐폴드를 개발하고자 stereolithography (SLA), selective laser sintering (SLS), fused deposition modeling (FDM), 및 3D printing (3DP) 와 같은 다양한 solid freeform fabrication (SFF) 기술이 개발되어지고 있다.
