The performance characteristics of heating and cooling operation for a heat pump system using seawater heat source and exhaust energy are presented. The heat pump system is made of a waste heat recovery system and a vapor compression refrigeration system. The working fluid is R-22. The heat pump system COPs are measured during heating and cooling operation modes, and the resultant COPs were 9.7 and 7.9, respectively, which are three times higher than those of the heat pump itself. Therefore, the performance of the heat pump system using exhaust energy is excellent compared to that of a general heat pump. The experimental data can be effectively used for the design of the high efficient heat pump using a seawater heat source.

Exploitation of renewable energies is on the increase to mitigate the reliance on fossil fuels and other natural gases with rocketing prices currently due to the depletion of their reserves not to mention their diverse consequences on the environment. Divergently, there are lots of industries "throwing" heat at higher temperatures as by products into the environment. This waste heat can be recovered through organic Rankine systems and converted to electrical energy with a waste heat recovery organic Rankine cycle system (WHR-ORC). This study uses the annual average condenser effluent from Namhae power plant as heat source and surface seawater as cooling source to analyze a waste heat recovery organic Rankine cycle using the Aspen HYSYS simulation software package. Hydrocarbon mixtures are employed as working fluid and varied in a ratio of 9:1. Results indicate that Pentane/Isobutane (90/10) mixture is the favorable working fluid for optimizing the waste heat recovery organic Rankine cycle at the set simulation conditions.

To ensure radiological safety margin in the transport and storage of spent nuclear fuel, it is crucial to perform source term and shielding analyses in advance from the perspective of conservation. When performing source term analysis on UO₂ fuel, which is mostly used in commercial nuclear power plants, uranium and oxygen are basically considered to be the initial materials of the new fuel. However, the presence of impurities in the fuel and structural materials of the fuel assembly may influence the source term and shielding analyses. The impurities could be radioactive materials or the stable materials that are activated by irradiation during reactor power operation. As measuring the impurity concentration levels in the fuel and structural materials can be challenging, publicly available information on impurity concentration levels is used as a reference in this evaluation. To assess the effect of impurities, the results of the source term and shielding analyses were compared depending on whether the assumed impurity concentration is considered. For the shielding analysis, generic cask design data developed by KEPCO-E&C was utilized.

본 연구의 목적은 수분함량이 높은 야채쓰레기의 퇴비화 가능성을 실험적으로 규명하고자 한 것이다. 실험은 에너지원의 첨가에 따른 영향, 침출수 재순환에 따른 영향, 공극개량물질의 변화에 따른 영향 등에 대하여 살펴보았다. 본 연구에는 실험실 규모의 퇴비화반응조를 이용하였다. 야채쓰레기로는 배추를 이용하였고 에너지원으로 개사료를 이용하였다. 공극개량물질로는 나무조각과 낙엽을 이용하였다. 수분함량이 높은 야채쓰레기의 퇴비화시에는 적정량의 에너지원이 첨가가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 야채쓰레기의 약 20%정도 첨가하는 것이 적당하였다. 생성된 침출수의 당일 전량 재순환은 커다란 열손실로 인하여 적당하지 않았다. 침출수를 균등배분하여 일정량씩을 매일 균일하게 재순환한 경우에는 열손실이 상대적으로 크지 않았다. 낙엽을 공극개량물질로 사용한 경우 온도의 변화와 $CO_2$의 방출량에 큰 차이는 없었다. 공극개량물질로 흔히 쓰이는 나무조각 대신 일종의 폐기물인 낙엽을 이용하여 야채쓰레기를 퇴비화하는 것도 가능하다.

원자력발전소 해체를 준비하기 위해서는 해체대상 발전소에 대한 선원항 평가가 선행되어야 한다. 해체전략 수립단계에서 선원항 평가 결과를 토대로 해체 폐기물을 분류하고 비용평가를 수행한다. 본 연구에서는 월성 1호기의 예비 선원항 계산을 수행할 수 있도록 MCNP/ORIGEN-2 모델의 타당성 평가를 수행하였다. 연소도가 다른 핵연료 다발의 악티나이드 계열과 핵분열 생성물의 핵종 수밀도는 싱글 채널 모델을 이용하여 MCNPX 코드로 연소 계산하여 구하였다. 선원항의 정확도에 영향을 미치는 두가지 요인에 대해 조사하였다. 첫번째 요인으로 선원항 계산에 영향을 미치는 중성자 스펙트럼을 MCNP로 계산하여 해당 핵종의 1군 미시 핵단면적에 반영하였다. 중성자 스펙트럼이 반영된 라이브러리로 계산한 선원항과 ORIGEN-2 코드 package에 내장된 library (CANDUNAU.LIB)로 구한 선원항을 비교하였다. 두번째 요인으로 선원항에 대한 출력이력의 영향을 조사하였다. 해체 폐기물의 저준위 폐기물 처분 가능성을 살펴보기 위해, 2010년도 교체된 압력관, 칼란드리아관과 기존 칼란드리아 동체에 대하여 중성자 스펙트럼을 반영한 library를 적용하여 MCNP/ORIGEN-2로 선원항 평가 계산을 수행하였다.

The feasibility of utilizing food waste leachate as an external carbon source was tested to enhance biological nutrient removal from an industrial wastewater with an average flow rate of $164,800m^3/d$ and a low carbon/nitrogen ratio of 2.8. A considerable improvement in the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus was observed when a certain amount of the leachate, ranging from 70 to $142m^3/d$, was supplemented to the biological industrial wastewater treatment process. The addition of the leachate led to an increase in the BOD/N ratio (4.5) and the removal efficiency of nutritents from 29.7% to 71.7% for nitrogen and from 34.8% to 65.6% for phosphorus. However, an excessive dose of the leachate that significantly exceeded $120m^3/d$ caused serious operational problems, like oil-layer formation in the grit chamber and scum layer in the primary clarifier. Thus, an supplement of food waste leachate at a dose acceptable to an existing facilities can be a practical and effective means to enhance the nutrient removal from industrial wastewater and to dispose of the food waste leachate.

본 연구에서는 폐플라스틱의 재활용 현황을 조사한 후 재활용을 저해하는 요인들을 분석하였다. 폐플라스틱의 재활용율을 저해하는 요인들은 토지와 인력확보의 어려움, 플라스틱의 종류별 재질표시 미흡, 경제적 유인책인 예치금과 부담금의 요율의 부적합 등으로 나타났다. LCA 방법을 통한 폐플라스틱의 재활용성을 분석하기 위하여 PET 재질의 물질 재활용 공정에 대한 LCA를 수행하였다. PET를 처녀원료로만 제조하는 것보다 재생 PET원료를 함께 사용했을 때의 환경영향은 오존층 파괴를 제외한 나머지 영향범주에서 (-)값으로 나타나 보다 환경친화적임이 밝혀졌다. 특히 지구온난화 영향의 범주에서 환경삭감 효과(avoided impact)가 크게 나타났다. 폐플라스틱의 재자원화를 활성화 하려면 먼저 재활용품에 대한 분리수거 제도가 확립되어야 하고 재활용 가능표시가 명확해야 하며 소비자들이 이를 쉽게 이해할 수 있어야 한다. 또한 생산자 예치금 및 소비자 예치금의 요율이 합리적이어야 하며 재활용에 대한 인프라구축, 정보체계 확립, 공공교육을 통한 시민들의 협조가 필요하다.

The Louisiana crawfish industry comprises the largest concentration of crustacean aquaculture in the United States. Processing plants throughout the culture region annually generate as much as 80 million pounds of peeling waste during recovery of the 15% (by weight) edible tail meat. A commercial oil extraction process for recovery of carotenoid astaxanthin from crawfish waste has been developed. Crawfish pigment in its various forms finds applications as a source of red intensifying agents for use in aquaculture and poultry industries. Crawfish shell, separated in the initial pigment extraction step, is an excellent source of chitin. Applicable physicochemical procedures for isolation of chitin from crawfish shell and its conversion to chitosan have been developed. Crawfish chitosan has been demonstrated to be both an effective coagulant and ligand-exchange column material , respectively, for recovery of valuable organic compounds from seafood processing wastewater.

The research on potential energy was conducted to conserve the high-exergy energy like primary energy and utilize waste heat from sewage. From the Point of view in using the waste heat, the energy Potential of waste water from the model house was simulated. From the results, when the heated water was supplied to the model house side in order to put unused energy to Practice use, heated water had higher energy Potential than unheated water, which was due to the discharge of most of unused energy. The possessing heat capacity of sewage from heated water was increased to 40-70 percents in comparison with that from the unheated water. Therefore, it can be used as energy source for improving coefficient of performance of heat pumps. By adopting the multiple heat pump into a model house, It showed that the possessing heat capacity of sewage was reduced. It was also found that the heat was recovered as energy source fur multiple heat pump in a model house.
