시설하우스 폐양액 처리를 위한 소형 폐양액처리장치 개발을 위해 소형 폐양액처리장치를 VF-HF, VF-VF, HF-VF 및 HF-HF 조합형으로 구분하여 조합방법별, 여재깊이별 및 폐양액 부하량별로 각각 최적 조건을 조사하였으며, 개발된 시설하우스 폐양액처리장치의 적용성을 검증하기 위해 상기 최적조건하에서 실제 오이, 파프리카 및 딸기 시설하우스에서 배출되는 폐양액의 수처리효율을 조사하였다. 여재 깊이에 따른 오염물질의 수처리 효율은 BOD, COD, SS, T-N 및 T-P 모두에서 깊이가 깊어짐에 따라 수처리효율이 점점 증가하였으며,여재깊이70 cm에서 모든 조합의 BOD, COD 및 SS의 처리효율은 각각 87, 84 및 82% 이상으로 조합방법에 따라 큰 차이 없이 안정적인 수처리 효율을 보였다. T-N 및 T-P의 경우 HF-HF 및 HF-VF 조합형의 처리효율이 타 조합방법에 비해 약간 높았다. 폐양액 부하량에 따른 BOD, COD, SS, T-N 및 T-P의 처리효율은 $150L\;m^{-2}\;day^{-1}{\approx}300L\;m^{-2}\;day^{-1}>450L\;m^{-2}\;day^{-1}$순으로 폐양액의 부하량이 증가함에 따라 수처리 효율이 점점 감소하였다.모든 폐양액 부하량에서의 오염물질 처리효율은HF-VF 및 HF-HF 조합형이 다른 조합형에 비해 높았으며, 특히 총 질소의 경우 HF-HF 조합형이 가장 높은 처리효율을 보였다. 장치의 최적 여재깊이는 70 cm이상이었고, 최적 폐양액 부하이상의 결과를 미루어 볼 때 시설하우스 소형 폐양액처리량은 $300L\;m^{-2}\;day^{-1}$이하이었으며, 최적 조합방법은HF-HF 조합형이었다.

본 연구에서는 사용 후 폐기되는 정수기용 역삼투(Reverse Osmosis; RO)막 필터를 세정하여 새 필터의 수준으로 복원시키는 연구를 수행하였다. 화학적 세정액으로는 수산화나트륨, 중아황산나트륨, EDTA용액을 사용하였으며 마이크로버블 발생 장치와 함께 in-situ의 방법으로 세정하였다. EDTA를 0.1%의 농도로 제조한 뒤 마이크로버블과 함께 사용하여 30분 세정하였을 때 가장 좋은 결과를 나타내었다. 이때 폐 필터와 세정 후 폐필터의 성능을 비교해 보았을 때 투과도는 19.9%, 회수율은 49.5%증가하였으며 NaCl 100 mg/L 용액에 대한 염제거율은 2.3% 감소되었는데, 이는 새 필터와 동등한 수준으로 회복이 되었다. 또한 전자현미경 분석을 이용하여 막 표면의 오염물의 제거를 육안으로 확인하였다. 이로써 전량 매립 또는 소각 되어지는 정수기용 폐 RO막 필터의 세정을 통하여 재사용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, iron nanoparticles impregnated hydrochar (FeNPs@HC) was synthesized using lignocellulosic waste and simple one-pot synthetic method. During hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) process, the mixture of lignocellulosic waste and ferric nitrate (0.1~0.5 M) as a precursor of iron nanoparticles was added and heated to 220℃ for 3 h in a teflon sealed autoclave, followed by calcination at 600℃ in N₂ atmosphere for 1 h. For the characterization of the as-prepared materials, X-ray diffraction (XRD), cation exchange capacity (CEC), fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) were used. The change of Fe(III) concentration in the feedstock influenced characteristics of produced FeNPs@HC and removal efficiency towards As(V) and Pb(II). According to the Langmuir isotherm test, maximum As(V) and Pb(II) adsorption capacity of Fe_0.25NPs@HC were found to be 11.81 and 116.28 mg/g respectively. The results of this study suggest that FeNPs@HC can be potentially used as an adsorbent or soil amendment for remediation of groundwater or soil contaminated with arsenic and cation heavy metals.

The emission characteristics of mercury in waste incinerators were investigated to get basic data for the policy development on the emission reduction of mercury (Hg). For the study several important factors were analysed from 4 incinerators such as mercury concentration, emission factors and removal rate for control devices. The results are listed below. Mercury concentrations in the flue gas were 0.39～5.96 $\mu\textrm{g}$/S㎥ in MWI and 2.5～8.8 $\mu\textrm{g}$/S㎥ in IWI. The distributions of gaseous and particulate mercury in flue gas were above 99% and below 1 %, respectively. Therefore, in order to remove mercury effectively, it is important to control the gaseous mercury. Mercury concentrations in fly ash collected from control device were found as 16.2～35.6 mg/kg- ash in FF of MWI. Also mercury concentrations at the front and back point of control device of MWI were 33.45～62.65 $\mu\textrm{g}$/S㎥ and 0.88～3.49 $\mu\textrm{g}$/S㎥, respectively. Emission factors were estimated as 3.67～11.67 mg/ton in FF, 2.6～24.5 mg/ton in MWI with SNCR, SDR and FF, 54.9～192.7 mg/ton in IWI with Cyclone and FF. Emissions from Municipal Waste Incinerator were found both in minimum and maximum ranges. Annual mercury emissions emitted from MWI was estimated as 20.0 kg (6.0～33.9 kg).

Emission characteristics of air pollutants from three commercially operating cement kilns co-burning waste were investigated. The major heavy metals emitted were mercury (Hg), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and arsenic (As) Removal efficiency of the bag filter was above 98.5% for heavy metals (except Hg), and above 60% for Hg. Higher fractions of heavy metals entering the bag filter were speciated to cement kiln dust. On average, 3.3% of the -heavy metals of medium and low toxicity (Pb, Ni, and Cr) entering the bag filter were released into the atmosphere. Among highly toxic heavy metals, 0.14% of Cd, 0.01% of As, and 40% of Hg entering the bag filter were released into the atmosphere. In passing through the bag filter, the proportion of oxidized Hg in all cases increased. Emission variations of hazardous air pollutants in cement kilns tested were related to raw materials, fuel, waste feed and operating conditions. Volatile organic compounds detected in gas emissions were toluene, acrylonitrile benzene, styrene, 1,3-butadiene, and methylene chloride. Although hazardous air pollutants in emissions from cement kilns co-burning waste were within the existing emission limit, efforts are required to minimize their levels.

Solution plasma is a unique method which provides a direct discharge in solutions. It is one of the promising techniques for various applications including the synthesis of metallic/non-metallic nanomaterials, decomposition of organic compounds, and the removal of microorganism. In the context of nanomaterial syntheses, solution plasma has been utilized to produce carbon nanoparticles and metallic-carbon nanoparticle systems. The main purpose of this study was to synthesize nickel nanoparticles embedded in a matrix of carbon particles by solution plasma in one-step using waste vegetable oil as the carbon source. The experimental setup was done by simply connecting a bipolar pulsed power generator to nickel electrodes, which were submerged in the waste vegetable oil. Black powders of the nickel nanoparticles-embedded carbon (NiNPs/Carbon) particles were successfully obtained after discharging for 90 min. The morphology of the synthesized NiNPs/Carbon was investigated by a scanning electron microscope, which revealed a good dispersion of NiNPs in the carbon-particle matrix. The X-ray diffraction of NiNPs/Carbon clearly showed the co-existence of crystalline Ni nanostructures and amorphous carbon. The crystallite size of NiNPs (through the Ni (111) diffraction plane), as calculated by the Scherrer equation was found to be 64 nm. In addition, the catalytic activity of NiNPs/Carbon was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry in an acid solution. It was found that NiNPs/Carbon did not show a significant catalytic activity in the acid solution. Although this work might not be helpful in enhancing the activity of the fuel cell catalysts, it is expected to find application in other processes such as the CO conversion (by oxidation) and cyclization of organic compounds.

The pilot system for radioactive liquid laundry waste was developed with treatment capacity, 1ton/hr and set up in the Yong Kwang unit #4. The system is composed of tank module, RO systems and a UV/$H_2O$$_2$photo-oxidation unit. The RO system consists of the BW unit (low-pressure RO for brackish water desalination) and the SW unit (high-pressure RO for seawater desalination). The BW unit possesses 4 RO membranes and it can reduce the feed water volume down to 1/10. This concentrated feed water can be reduced again up to 1/10 in its volume in the SW unit composed of 4 RO membranes. The UV/$H_2O$$_2$ photo-oxidation process unit was used for the detergent degradation. The operation of the pilot system was carried out and verified in its capability through the continuous operation and concentration operation using the actual liquid waste from the power plant. The design criteria and data for industrialization were yielded. The efficiency of the UV/$H_2O$$_2$ photo-oxidation process and the optimum operational procedure were evaluated. The decontamination factors for radioactive cobalt and cesium were measured. This on-site test showed the experimental result in the DF$\geq$300 and volume reduction factor$\geq$100.

To isolate and analyze bacteria with Verticillium wilt-resistant properties from the fermentation residue of kitchen wastes, as well as explore their potential for new applications of the residue. A total of six bacterial strains exhibiting Verticillium wilt-resistant capabilities were isolated from the biogas residue of kitchen waste fermentation. Using a polyphasic approach, strain ZL6, which displayed the highest antagonistic activity against cotton Verticillium wilt, was identified as belonging to the Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Bioassay results demonstrated that this strain possessed robust antagonistic abilities, effectively inhibiting V. dahliae spore germination and mycelial growth. Furthermore, P. aeruginosa ZL6 exhibited high temperature resistance (42℃), nitrogen fixation, and phosphorus removal activities. Pot experiments revealed that P. aeruginosa ZL6 fermentation broth treatment achieved a 47.72% biological control effect compared to the control group. Through activity tracking and protein mass spectrometry identification, a neutral metalloproteinase (Nml) was hypothesized as the main virulence factor. The mutant strain ZL6ߡNml exhibited a significant reduction in its ability to inhibit cotton Verticillium wilt compared to the strain P. aeruginosa ZL6. While the inhibitory activities could be partially restored by a complementation of nml gene in the mutant strain ZL6CMߡNml. This research provides a theoretical foundation for the future development and application of biogas residue as biocontrol agents against Verticillium wilt and as biological preservatives for agricultural products. Additionally, this study presents a novel approach for mitigating the substantial amount of biogas residue generated from kitchen waste fermentation.

바이오가스화는 유기성폐기물을 안정적으로 분해하여 처리하는 과정에서 발생하는 메탄(CH₄)가스를 이용해 환경친화적인 연료를 생산하는 기술이다. 바이오가스화는 수분함량이 높은 유기성폐기물의 에너지화에 가장 많이 활용되는 방법이며, 직매립(2005) 및 해양투기(2013) 등의 금지에 따른 유기성폐기물 처리에 유용한 공법이다. 최근 국내에서 발병한 아프리카돼지열병(ASF, African Swine Fever)으로 습식사료화 재활용이 금지되고, 건조 사료화 및 퇴비화 등의 생산제품 수요처가 부정적으로 인식되면서 음식물류폐기물의 처리에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에, 음식물류폐기물의 처리 및 자원화를 위해 바이오가스화가 더욱 주목받고 있다. 우리나라 에너지소비 규모는 268.41 10⁶toe에 이르며 세계 9위 수준이다. 하지만 공급에너지의 약 95.8 %를 해외수입에 의존하고 있는 에너지 빈곤 국가이다. 따라서 국내에서는 신·재생에너지 공급의무화제도(RPS, Renewable energy portfolio standard)를 도입하고 있다. 국내의 RPS 제도는 다른 신재생에너지와 비교하여 폐기물에너지의 신·재생에너지 공급인증서(REC, Renewable energy certificate)의 가중치를 낮게 설정하고 있다. 따라서 폐자원에너지의 활성화를 위한 추가적 인센티브 제도가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 음식물류폐기물, 음폐수 및 다양한 유기성폐기물이 처리되는 혐기소화조의 운영방식을 알아보고, 일정 기간의 정밀모니터링을 통해 폐자원에너지 인센티브제도를 마련하는 기초자료로써 활용하고자 하였다. 유기성 폐기물로 바이오가스를 생산하여 발전과 중질가스로 활용하는 4개소를 대상시설로 선정하였고, 현장조사 및 시료채취를 실시하였다. 채취된 유기성폐기물의 유입물 시료와 처리공정에 따른 유출물 시료의 기초 성상분석을 수행하였다. 성상분석 결과, 소화조 유입물의 총 고형물은 평 균 12.11 %이며, 총 고형물 중 휘발성 고형물은 85.86 %로 확인되었다. BOD와 CODcr 제거율은 소화조의 유입·유출 대비 각각 60.8 %와 64.8 %로 나타났으며, 유입물의 휘발성지방산은 평균 55,716 mg/L로 나타났으며, 혐기소화 후 감소율이 평균 92.3 %로 대부분 분해되어 제거된 것을 확인할 수 있다.
