Municipal solid waste landfills are unpredictable bioreactors which in cases of mishandling and bad supervision presents numerous risks. The key to municipal waste landfills is to approach them from the point of prevention of the possible consequences, which means using methods of organized waste disposal, and also utilizing landfill gas, as an unavoidable consequence with disposal of municipal solid waste with a high share of biodegradable organic matter. This paper presents an overview about problems of solid municipal waste management, type and composition of waste, and an overview of waste management condition. Further, the problem of landfill and landfill gasses is described with the calculation models of landfill production, as well as the use of the SWM GHG Calculator and LandGEM software on a specific example of gas production for the central zone at Sarajevo landfill "Smiljevici". Main focus of this thesis is the analysis of potentials of greenhouse gas emission reduction measures from the waste management. Overview of the best available techniques in waste management is presented as well as the methodology used for calculations. Scenarios of greenhouse gas emission reduction in waste management were defined so that emissions were calculated using the appropriate model. In the final section of the paper, its description of the problem of collection and utilization the landfill gas at the sanitary landfill "Smiljevici", and implementation of the system for landfill gas collection and solution suggestion for the gasification and exploitation of gas. Energy, environmental and economic benefits can be accomplished by utilizing municipal solid waste as fuel in industry and energy and moreover by utilizing energy generation from landfill gas, which this thesis emphasizes.

2005.1.1부터 직 매립 금지 이후 음식물쓰레기를 처리하는 데 있어 많은 사회적 문제가 대두되고 있다. 그리고 우리나라의 경우 전국 음식물쓰레기 배출량이 11,398ton/day('03)으로 상당히 많은 양이 배출되고 있으며, 주로 음식물쓰레기는 매립, 소각, 사료나 퇴비로 재활용하는 방법으로 처리하고 일부 음식물쓰레기는 혐기성으로 처리 하는 방법이 사용되어 왔다. 이 중 혐기성 처리는 유용한 메탄가스를 발생하여 에너지로 사용가능 하다. 본 연구에서는 pH가 낮고 많은 양의 유기물과 고형물을 함유하고 있어 1단 혐기성 처리시 운전에 영향을 줄 것으로 예상되는 음식물쓰레기의 1단 혐기성처리 가능성 및 혐기성 처리시 메탄가스를 이용하여 에너지로서 사용 가능성에 대해 알아보고자 연구를 실시 하였다. 처리시간과 비용을 절감하기 위해 산형성조를 거치지 않고 반 고형물의 유입시 부유물로 인해 발생될 수 있는 plugging와 channeling 현상을 방지하기 위해 USAB(up flow anaerobic sludge blank)의 장점과 낮은 pH의 음식물 쓰레기의 유입시 미생물에 미칠 수 있는 충격을 최소화 할 수 있는 AE(anaerobic filter)장점을 조합하여 환형유공 지지막속에 그레뉼을 충진시킨 Hybrid Anaerobic Reactor(HAR)를 제작하여 실험을 실시하였다. 본 연구에 앞서 음식물쓰레기의 혐기성 생분해도 실험을 실시하여 혐기성처리가능성을 검토하였으며 실험결과 첨가된 VS량당 총 누적메탄량은 $0.471(m^{3}/\cal{kg}\;VS)$로 원소 분석하여 얻은 이론 메탄발생량 $0.58(m^{3}/\cal{kg}\;VS)$의 $81.2\%$를 나타냈으며 유기물 분해속도 상수는 $0.18(d^{-1})$로 혐기성 처리가 가능하다는 사전 연구 결론을 도출하였다. 연구 결과, 낮은 pH인 음식물 쓰레기를 처리시 산발효조를 거치지 않고도 혐기성 처리가 가능하였으며, 높은 농도로 존재하는 유기물 및 고형물의 처리효율은 매우 양호했고 또한 인의 제거율도 높게 나타났다. 연구결과를 토대로 전국 음식물쓰레기(11,398ton/d)를 대상으로 에너지를 산출하면 Braun에너지 환산계수 $5.97kwh/m3(60\%\;CH_{4})$를 적용할 때 우리나라의 1일 음식물에서 발생되는 에너지 총량은 6,727MWh로 환산될 수 있으며 이는 유기물(COD)당 발생되는 메탄 가스량을 에너지원으로 사용하기에 충분히 가능하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과에 의하면 고농도의 유기물이 함유된 음식물쓰레기는 Hybrid Anaerobic Reactor (HAR)를 이용하여 HRT 30일 정도에서 충분히 직접 혐기성처리가 가능하며, 이때 발생된 $CH_{4}$를 회수하여 이용하면 대체에너지원으로 활용 가치가 높은 것으로 판단된다.

Although microorganisms play an important role in composting process, researches on the effective microorganism (EM) in composting process are rarely reported. In this study, three stages of work performed 1) investigation of composting facility 2) sample collection and isolation of the EM 3) lab-scale composting by seeding the isolated EM. For this, purpose, physical, chemical, and biological characteristics, such as temperature, moisture content, organic matter, pH population of microorganism, etc., were investigated during the process and the results were compared with those of a control(non-seeded). In the composting facility, the most active degradation of food waste was suppsed to occur in 10-11th day of composting by observing the temperature and CO2 emission. The population of bacterial and fungi was highest in thermophilic stage. Meanwhile that of actinomycetes and yeast was relatively uniform during the process. In the lab-scale test, the thermophilic stage was maintained longer(more than 9 days in 17 days of experiment) in the seeded which was favored for the high reduction of organic matter and moisture. Reduction rates of lipids and salinity were also increased in the seeded. It confirmed these results that the population of microorganisms in the seeded was observed higher in several orders than the control. However, pH of the seeded was maintained as low as about 4.5 throughout the experiment except the final period of the process. Meanwhile, pH of the control rose in the early stage of the experiment. This was probably due that the seeded microorganisms collected from the composting facility was adapted to the low pH environment.

The use of wood waste as substrate for plant growth exemplifies a strategy for turning waste into resources. The overall objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of wood-based growing media on plant cover in a slope area. Moreover, we tried to find out what physicochemical properties affect plant cover on a slope. For treatments, we tested natural soil, soil mixed with wood-based growing medium (1:1, w/w), and wood-based growing medium by itself. Physical and chemical characteristics were evaluated after four months from the date of treatment application to the experimental slope site. Soil coverage with seedlings of Lespedeza cyrtobotrya was measured for plant growth evaluation. Physicochemical properties were altered by mixing the natural soil with wood-based growing medium. Particularly, soil moisture and organic matter contents were significantly changed in soils treated with wood-based growing medium compared to soil alone. We confirmed that plant coverage rate was high when wood-based growing medium was mixed with the natural soil. There was a significant linear relationship between moisture content and CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity) of all growth media tested and plant coverage. This result was expected, as moisture content tends to increase with organic matter content, such as in wood-based growing medium. In conclusion, the high moisture content of the wood-based growing medium was considered effective for plant growth in the experimental slope site, and this wood-based growing medium provides a means to improve the harmony between the slope and the surrounding environment.

The purpose of this study is to help operate and manage the new food period system by investigating consumer perception of sell-by-date and use-by-date, and change of purchasing and consumption period by food period label. Although they have opinions that fit the purpose of introducing the system, such as the need to introduce a use by date, extending the food intake period, and reducing food waste, they still lack an accurate understanding of the system, so education or publicity is needed. In addition, no matter what form of use by date is introduced, products with food expiration date are still likely to be returned or discarded. Therefore, it is desirable to adjust the setting criteria or safety factor for each deadline rather than changing the food period labeling method. In order to reduce consumer confusion and food waste, it is judged that the parallel marking of the sell by date and use by date is appropriate.

Waste products were biologically estimated from juvenile flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) on three diet types-raw fish-based moist pellets, moist pellets, and extruded pellets. Total solid and soluble wastes were estimated by determining nutrient digestibility and accumulation in juvenile flounders through growth trials. Total solid wastes produced were 20%-23% of the organic matter supplied. Soluble excretions ranged from 45% to 49%. Soluble nitrogenous excretions ranged from 36.4% to 46.2%. These results indicate that about 30.2%-35.9% of supplied feed is retained in the fishes' bodies while the remainder of feed is excreted into culture systems or the surrounding environment.

The objective of this study is to find solid waste decomposition in landfill without leachate discharge. This study was observed variation of landfill gas production rate and leachate for stabilization assessment, and using four sets of lysimeter as experimental apparatus. Soild waste decomposition was accelerated in without leachate discharge system by sufficient moisture for methane bacteria. And gas production rate was between 54.2ℓ/kg VS∼335.9ℓ/kg VS in each lysimeter. Generation time of methane gas was showed different in each lysimeter, but it was much faster than literature research. The time of stabilization phase were began as follows : L-1 400 day, L-2 350 day, L-3 170 day and L-4 70 day respectively. Decreasing times of BOD/COD ratio and C/N ratio were necessary more than literature research because organic matter was not discharge such as wash out.
