This study introduced waste water treatment method by superconducting HGMS(High Gradient Magnetic Separation). HGMS treatment method is high efficient method for various waste water, we have surveyed superconducting magnetic separation technology. We fabricated the prototypes of magnetic matrix filter consisting of stainless steel mesh, which is a core component in the magnetic separation system. In our basic preliminary experiment using HGMS, it was made clear that the fine para-magnetic particles in the wasted water obtained from steelmaking process of POSCO can be separated with high efficiency.

This study was carried out to investigate the characterization of lignins from waste liquors in SP, KP, ASAM, and AS from Pinus densiflora, Quercus mongolica, and Betula ermanii. Spectroscopic study was applied to examine the lignins separated from different pulping process. Lignin contents in waste liqours increased in order of AS, ASAM, KP, and SP. UV spectra of three types of lignin except AS lignin showed similar pattern. IR spectra of AS lignin showed strong C=O absorptions in the range from 1730 to 1750$cm^{-1}$, where as those of KP, SP, and ASAM showed weak stretch in this region. NMR spectra of AS lignin showed strong characteristic chemical shifts of acetoxyl groups of acetylated aliphatic and aromatic hydroxyl groups at 2.0~2.5 ppm. Molecular weight of ASAM lignin from Pinus densiflora determined and found number average molecular weight 1,199, weight average molecular weight 5,458. z average molecular weight 17,242, and viscosity average molecular weight 5,457. It is considered from the results based on spectroscopic study of lignin that waste liquors (in SP, KP, ASAM and AS) from Pinus densiflora, Quercus mongolica, and Betula ermanii can be used for lignin utilization.

원자력발전소에서 발생하는 방사성 폐액은 일반적으로 액체폐기물처리계통 폐액증발기 및 농축 폐액건조설비에서 증발 및 건조 공정을 통해 수분을 함유하지 않은 분말형태로 변한다. 이 분말형태의 폐기물은, 취급 시와 처분 후 안전성을 확보할 수 있도록, 파라핀과 균일하게 혼합되어 고화된 후 철제드럼에 포장된다. 농축폐액건조설비를 이용하여 농축폐액을 건조시킨 후 분말 형태의 폐기물을 파라핀과 혼합하는 공정을 수행할 때, 방사성 폐액 중 붕소와 나트륨의 몰비가 0.2를 초과하는 경우, 분말형태의 폐기물이 파라핀과 균일하게 혼합되지 않고 층을 이루어 분리되어 드럼에 안정고화가 잘 안되는 경우가 발생하였고 또한 일부는 드럼화 전에 설비 내에 고착되는 현상이 발생하는 것을 경험하였다.

A comparative study on the anaerobic digestion efficiency according to the temperature change was conducted considering the characteristics of domestic food wastes with high water content of about 80 % or more. The substrate was tested for anaerobic digestion efficiency in two substrates, a liquid component separated naturally from food waste and food waste itself. In the anaerobic digestion experiments, the digestion efficiency was the highest at $55^{\circ}C$ (thermophilic temperature). However, the digestion efficiency at $45^{\circ}C$(middle high temperature) was lower than that at $35^{\circ}C$(mesophilic temperature). The comparison of general food wastes anaerobic digestion requiring 30 days of hydraulic retention time to the liquid component indicated a stable digestion efficiency even after 15 days of hydraulic retention time.In the experiments conducted on food waste, the digestion efficiency at $55^{\circ}C$ was higher than that at $35^{\circ}C$. When the food waste, especially the liquid component originating from food waste, is treated by anaerobic digestion method, the mesophilic temperature and thermophilic temperature conditions are more favorable in the digestion efficiency than the middle high temperature ($45^{\circ}C$). However, when applying thermophilic or mesophilic temperature anaerobic digestion process operation in the field, the amount of energy input should be considered.

Since improper management practices of solid medical waste (SMW) could potentially result in serious health risks and environmental problems, it is very important to properly treat and dispose of the medical wastes. In this study, current practices of SMW management from storage to final disposal stage in 12 health care facilities (HCFs) of Burundi were investigated using the official government reports. The results showed that 75% and 92% of HCFs used uncovered wheelbarrows and trucks for on-site or off-site SMW transportation, respectively, indicating that most transportation equipment and waste workers are not safely protected. The results also showed that 92.8% of SMW (15,736.4 ton) from all 12 HCFs were inappropriately disposed of through uncontrolled land disposal and incineration. If pharmaceutical wastes and discarded medical plastics (29.5% of SMW) can be separated and treated properly, the treatment costs can be reduced and resource savings can be achieved. Raising awareness of healthcare workers and general public about potential health effects arising from improper SMW management, sufficient financial and human resources for the treatment facilities (especially incinerators), and effective regulations and guidelines for transportation and treatment of SWM are some of the major tasks for safe and sustainable medical waste management in Burundi.

사용후핵연료 파이로프로세싱에서 발생하는 LiCl-KCl 공융염폐기물의 부피를 최소화하고 최종적으로 잔류하는 폐기물을 비교적 낮은 온도에서 안정한 형태로 고화하고자 희토류 핵종 염화물을 함유한 LiCl-KCl 공융염을 이용하여 인산화/증류 및 세라믹 고화의 일련공정을 수행하였다. LiCl-KCl 공융염 내 희토류 염화물은 혼합인산화제($Li_3PO_4-K_3PO_4$)를 이용한 인산화 및 공융염 감압증류공정을 통하여 99% 이상을 인산화물 형태로 전환/분리할 수 있었고, 분리한 희토류 인산화물은 고화매질로서 LIP(Lead Iron Phosphate)를 이용하여 $1,050^{\circ}C$에서 균질하고 치밀한 형태의 고화체로 제조할 수 있었으며, 최종적으로 발생하는 방사성 폐기물 부피를 10% 이하로 감용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In the pyrochemcial process of spent nuclear fuel, it is necessary to separate rare earth nuclides from LiCl-KCl eutectic waste salt for radioactive waste reduction. This paper presents the phosphorylation of neodymium chloride in LiCl-KCl-NdCl₃ system using Li₃PO₄-K₃PO₄ as a phosphorylation agent in a chemical reactor with pitched blade impellers. The phosphorylation test was performed changing operation temperature, stirring rate, and amount of phosphorylation agent. Neodymium chloride was effectively converted into neodymium phosphate (NdPO₄). It was confirmed that more than 99 wt% of neodymium can be separated from LiCl-KCl-NdCl₃ system using a phosphorylation method l

Recycling is receiving increasing social attention today as our nation begins to grapple with the significant problems caused by huge amount of municipal solid waste. The topic of recycling is not simple but extremely complicated. This study attempts to provide basic data and policy options for expanding and improving separated collection and recycling in public residential areas, through three case study of apartment housing areas in Taegu Metropolitan City. The main results of this study are summarized as follows. For the significant period of time, all three case areas had in common the extreme difficulty in establishing and operating the system of connecting public participation, collection and storage, transportation, and actual recycling of materials because of a variety of problems involved in this process. Both amounts of and prices for collected materials fluctuated considerably over time mainly due to monthly changes in recyclable home materials and the dynamic nature of recycling markets. Public questionnaire survey revealed the very high level of participation in separated collection, not only because almost all respondents well understood the necessity and importance of recycling, but because they also knew how to do separated collection. But overall activities were rated low and most respondents suggested the enlargement of public participation, the improvement of collection and storage facilities, and collection transportation networks. In particular, most respondents had little experience of using recycled Products and used mainly reproduced soap and bathroom tissue. Furthermore, they were considerably unsatisfied with low variety and quality of recycled products, their high prices and low availability in the market. Finally potential policy options and activities for improving separated collection and recycling are suggested.

Fe-EDTA를 함유한 수침목재유물 보존처리 폐수로부터 EDTA를 회수하고 재활용하기 위해 산 조절 침전 석출 기법을 이용하였다. EDTA는 문화재보존처리 분야에서 수침고목재의 흑화현상을 제거하는데 사용되어왔다. 수침목재유물은 오랜 기간 땅속에서 매장되어 토양의 Fe가 목재 내부의 타닌과 결합하여 흑색을 띄게 되며, 목재의 흑색을 제거하기 위해 고농도의 EDTA용액을 사용한다. 목재의 흑색은 Fe-EDTA착물이 형성되어 제거되며, EDTA는 pH 2.68이하에서 Fe와 분리되어 침전된다. 침전획득물과 실제 EDTA를 적외선분광분석기 (FT-IR)와 전계방사형 주사전자현미경(FE-SEM)를 이용하여 비교 분석하였다. 분석결과 pH조작 후의 침전획득물은 나트륨착체나 Fe-EDTA 형태의 착물형성이 아닌 순수한 EDTA로 확인되었다. 본 연구에서는 Fe-EDTA를 함유한 폐수에 HCI을 첨가하여 Fe$^{3+}$를 분리해 내고 강산성에서 EDTA가 석출되는 원리를 이용하여 EDTA의 재활용이 가능하다.
