Most Waste slurry is produced in the process of silicon manufacturing for semiconductor industry, containing silicon (Si) and silicon carbide (SiC). Waste slurry is simply stored with solidifying by cement or buried. On the other hand, it was suggested in this study that the waste slurry should be used for heating source as supplementary material in steel making process. The waste slurry was refined and pulverized, which was recycled into SiC-based sludge briquette. Chemical composition for SiC-based sludge briquette was analyzed and the feature of heating source was observed in accordance with the injection time and input amount. As a result, SiC-based sludge briquette in terms of low cost and high efficiency had an effect on increasing liquid steel temperature in steel making plants.

Expression-deliquoring tests using three types of paper sludges (tissue, newsprint, and paperboard) as deliquoring agent were carried out in order to investigate the effects of sludge dosage and pressure on the expression-deliquoring of slurry. The addition of deli­quoring agent causes expression-deliquoring of slurry to be faster than would be the case without the deliquoring agent. In case of the tissue sludge, the highest compression rate was achieved when $5\%$ of deliquoring agent was added, while in cases of the news­print and the paperboard sludge, $7\%$. Compression rate was increased as pressure increases. Porosity was decreased as pressure increases. The lowest porosity was observed when $5\%$ of tissue sludge was added. When compared the weight of cake where deliquoring agent was not added and the weight of cake that was fastest expression-deliquoring, there was about $17.5\%$ of the weight reduction

This study was conducted to investigate the optimum conditions for efficient methane production through anaerobic digestion of pig waste slurry. The examined parameters were organic matter content of the pig slurry, the ratio of seed sludge to pig slurry, and stirring intensity of the digestion reactor. The effects of types of slurry produced from different purpose-based pigs fed with different feeds were also tested. The methane concentration in the produced biogas was 45% when the ratio of seed sludge to pig slurry was 50% and total solid (TS) concentration was 1%, and it increased in proportional to TS concentration increases from 3 to 7%. At 3 and 5% of TS concentration, increasing mixing velocity from 80 to 160 rpm resulted in higher biogas production amount. However, mixing amount of seed sludge did not cause any significant effect on biogas production. Overall, the most efficient biogas production was achieved at 3-5% TS concentration in combination with 50% seed sludge inoculation and mixing velocity at 120 rpm. Among pig slurry types, gestating sow waste slurry showed the highest biogas production probably due to higher the degradation rate than other types of pig waste slurry being affected by the feeds components.

Two types of reactors were set to investigate the change of characteristics of pig slurry by aeration during fertilization period. One system was equipped with air diffuser to supply oxygen to pig slurry for liquid fertilization, but there was no air diffuser in the other system. Air supply to the experimental systems was regulated by air flow meter. The reactors were set up in the laboratory to protect the pig slurry from external condition such as temperature and humidity changes. Maintaining optimal pH range in the experimental reactors is an important factor for liquid fertilization of pig slurry. In this study, pH ranges of aerobic reactor and anoxic reactor was 7.04~7.19 and 7.34~7.81, respectively. The temperature of aerobic reactors was $2{\sim}3^{\circ}C$ higher then indoor temperature. The amount of sludge accumulated at the bottom layer of non-aerated reactors was 4~5 times more than that of aerated reactors.

Water usage in the semiconductor industries is dramatically increased by not only using bigger wafer from 8 inches to 12 inches but also by adapting new process such as Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) process invented by IBM in late '80. However, The document published by International Semiconductor Association suggests the decreasing ultra pure water (UPW) use from 22 gallon/in$^2$in 1997 to 5 gallon/in$^2$ in 2012. The criteria will possibly used as exporting obstacle in the future. Generally, Solid content of CMP slurry is about 15wt%. The slurry is diluted with UPW before fed to a CMP process. When the slurry is discharged from the process as waste, it contains 0.1~0.6wt% of solid content and 9~10 at pH. The CMP waste slurry is discharged to stream with minimum treatment. In this study, to find optimum condition of coagulation for water recovery from the waste CMP slurry various condition of coagulation were examined. After coagulation far 0.1 wt% solid content of waste CMP slurry, the sludge volume was 10~15% after 30 min of sedimentation time. For the 0.5 wt%, sludge volume was 50~55% after one hour of sedimentation time. For more than 80% of water recycling, the solid content should be in the range of 0.1 to 0.2wr%. Based on the result of the turbidity removal, the Zeta Potential and the analysis of heavy metals, the optimum condition for 0.1 wr% of waste CMP slurry was with 20 mg/L of PACI at 4 to 5 of pH. The result showed that the optimum conditions fer the 0.1 wt% waste CMP slurry were 100mg/L of Alum at 4~5 of pH, 100 mg/L of MgCI$_2$at pH 10 to 11 and 100 mg/L of Ca(OH)$_2$at pH 9 to 11, respectively.

Currently, due to industrial development in domestic regions, buildings are saturated not only in major city centers but also in surrounding urban areas. Accordingly, people's attention has focused on underground spaces, and tunnels are being widely used, especially in urban development. Research on tunnels and tunnel excavation methods is actively underway. However, there is a lack of research on the wear and tear problems of sludge discharge pipes when using a slurry shield TBM. Therefore, in this paper, the L-shaped bend pipe used in the existing sludge discharge pipe was transformed into a T-shaped bend pipe to move sludge. As a result, it was confirmed that compared to the L-shaped bend pipe, the impact of the T-shaped bend pipe on the bend pipe when discharging sludge was reduced. Based on these results, it is expected that wear of the sludge discharge pipe can be minimized by using a T-shaped bend pipe when using slurry shield TBM equipment. This is expected to ultimately lead to economic benefits, such as reducing costs due to replacement of curved pipes or additional welding during tunnel construction.

The quantity of residuals generated from water treatment plants depends upon the raw water quality, dosage of chemicals used, performance of the treatment process, method of sludge removal, efficiency of sedimentation, and backwashing frequency. Sludge production by the physical separation of SS occurs under quiescent conditions in the primary clarifier, where suspended solids are allowed to settle and to consolidate on the clarifier bottom. Raw primary sludge results when the settled solids are hydraulically removed from the tank. The relative solid and liquid fractions of a slurry are most commonly described by the solids concentration, expressed as mg/L or percent solids. The purpose of the present investigation is to estimate a suitability on the design capacities of residuals treatment facilities by the quantity of dewatered sludge generated from water treatment plants.

The spurt vacuum pump is widely used to transfer sludge and slurry, and to control flow rate in a variety of processing fields, such as the oil, chemical, and fiber industries. The efficiency of the pump depends on the design parameters of the impeller, such as the number of blades, and the blade angle. In this study, the effect of the configuration of the impeller discharge angle of a spurt vacuum pump, which influences total head, shaft power, and efficiency, was numerically investigated using the commercial code, ANSYS CFX ver. 16.1. In addition, the performance of the pump was evaluated on the basis of the correlations between the total head, pump efficiency, and pressure distribution.
