We studied a storage of waste-brown seaweed at room temperature and degradation of alginate in seaweed by microorganism DS-02. The seaweeds, mixed with 5.0 wt% DS-02 and sealed in vinyl package without any other treatment, could be stored longer than 1 year without spoilage at room temperature. During the storage process, the alginate of seaweed was decomposed by enzyme of DS-02 and the molecular weight of alginate decreased to about 1/10 of initial quantity. DS-02 growed as fast as it had maximum weight after 24 hour culture and it's enzyme had a maximum activity of alginate degradation at $40^{\circ}C.$ The seaweed sample became particles in DS-02 culture solution and the M. W of alginate decreased to about 1/10 of initial value after 24 hour decomposition. The effect of alginate degradation with DS-02 was similar to that of degradation with 3.0 M HCI solution for 24 hour.

플라스틱은 용기, 포장재, 필름 등 다양한 분야에서 사용이 증가하고 있으며, 플라스틱 사용의 증가에 따라 폐플라스틱의 발생도 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 국내의 폐플라스틱은 폐기물 부담금, 생산자책임재활용제도와 자발적 협약 등의 제도에 의하여 관리되고 있다. 최근 폐플라스틱 수거업체에서의 수거 거부에 의한 문제에 대응하기 위하여 환경부에서는 제조 생산 - 분리 배출 - 수거 선별 - 재활용의 순환주기에 따른 재활용 폐기물 관리 종합대책을 발표하였다. 이러한 폐플라스틱 관리에 대하여 국내 폐플라스틱 관리현황과 환경부의 대책을 검토하여 폐플라스틱의 순환주기에 따른 개선방안을 제시하였다.

국내에서 발생하는 폐플라스틱의 양은 폐비닐류를 포함하여 연간 500만톤에 이르며 이 가운데 재활용 선별장을 통하여 배출되는 폐비닐류의 양은 연간 100만톤 정도에 이르는 것으로 추정되고 있다. 재활용 선별장의 폐비닐류는 RPF(Refuse Plastic Fuel) 또는 재생원료로 전환되어 재활용이 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 재활용 선별장에서 발생하는 폐비닐을 열매체 가열공정에 의하여 용융처리하여 재생 폐비닐 원료로서 이용가능성을 인장강도를 통하여 분석하고 기존의 재생품과 비교함으로서 용융재생원료의 이용 가능성을 판단하였다. 상업용으로 사용하기 위해서는 폐비닐류를 이용한 재생원료의 인장강도는 100 $kgf/cm^2$ 정도가 적합함을 알 수 있었다.

Simultaneous removal efficiencies of hydrophilic and hydrophobic gaseous pollutants are experimentally determined, and the macroscopic removal mechanism of pollutants in a dry scrubber is analyzed using the extended model of three phase equilibrium distribution of pollutant at high temperatures that can describe the different morphological conditions of adsorbent and water at varying relative humidities. For the simplicity, the inside of spray dryer is divided into three regions of ; (1) absorption, (2) three-phase equilibrium, and (3) adsorption, and the removal efficiencies of each pollutants at three regions are observed at different experimental conditions to estimate the effects of important parameters of dry scrubber. The laboratory experiments simulate the three regions of spray dryer with the temperature control and thus evaporation rate of water from the slurry particle. $SO_2$ as a hydrophilic gaseous pollutant and vinyl chloride as a hydrophobic toxic gas are selected for the future field application to soid waste incineration, and the two types of slurry are made of the two sorbents ; 10 wt.% $Ca(OH)_2$, and 10 wt.% NaOH. Result of temperature effect shows the height of absorption plus three-phase region is decreased as the operation temperature is increased, which results in the lower removal efficiency of $SO_2$ but higher removal for vinyl chloride in the adsorption region of dry scrubber. The removal efficiency of $SO_2$ is higher by NaOH slurry than by $Ca(OH)_2$ slurry due to the hygroscopic nature of NaOH, while the removal of vinyl chloride is higher in $Ca(OH)_2$ case. From the analysis of redults using three-phase equilibrium distribution model, the effective two-phase partition coefficients can be obtained, and the possible extention in the application of the three-phase equilibrium model in a dry scrubber design has been demonstrated.

본 연구는 Mechanical Biological Treatment system(이하 MBT system)에서 선별된 생활폐기물의 에너지회수 가능성을 평가하고자 하였다. 투입 생활폐기물의 성상분석 결과 수도권매립지에 반입되는 폐기물과 성상이 유사하였으며, 함수율은 다소 높은 값을 나타내었다. 도시고형유기성폐기물에 대해 BMP(Biochemical Methane Potential) test를 실시한 결과 60 ~ 80 mL $CH_4/g$-VS의 메탄($CH_4$)가스가 발생하여 문헌 등에서 보고된 메탄발생량에 비해 낮은 값을 나타내었는데 비닐플라스틱류의 비중이 높았기 때문으로 추측된다. 수도권매립지에 설치된 MBT system에서 선별된 유기성폐기물을 각 성분별로 BMP Test를 실시한 결과 음식폐기물 및 종이류에서는 각각 193, 102 mL $CH_4/g$-VS 수준의 메탄이 발생하였으나 비닐, 고무에서는 전혀 발생하지 않았고, 선별이 어려운 others에서는 매우 낮은 30 mL $CH_4/g$-VS 수준의 메탄이 발생하였다. 이로 미루어볼 때 유기성폐기물에서 비닐플라스틱, 고무류의 선별이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The Korean government plans to establish large-scale horticultural facilities using reclaimed land to improve the competitiveness of the national agricultural sector at the government level. One of the most significant corresponding problems is the ongoing dependence of these facilities on fossil fuel, whereby constant heating is necessary during the winter season to provide the necessary breeding conditions for greenhouse crops. In particular, high-level energy consumption is incurred from the use of heating-related coverings with large heat-transmission coefficients such as those composed of vinyl and glass. This study investigated the potential applicability of waste-incineration heat for use in large-scale horticultural facilities by evaluating the hot-water temperature, heat loss, and available greenhouse area as functions of the distance between the incineration facility and the greenhouse. In conclusion, waste-incineration heat from a HDPE pipe can heat a horticultural facility of 10 ha if the distance is less than 8 km.

This study was conducted to find out the chlorine removal characteristics of waste plastic mixture by pyrolysis process with thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) and a lab-scale pyrolyzer. The material used as plastic wastes were PE (Poly-ethylene), PP (Poly-prophylene), and PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride). Experimental procedure were composed of three steps; 1st step: TGA of PVC, PP and PE, 2nd step: chlorine removal rate of PVC in a lab-scale pyrolyzer, 3rd step: chlorine removal rate of PVC-PE and PVC-PP mixture in a pyrolyzer. Through the results of TGA, we can estimate the basic pyrolysis characteristics of each plastic, and then we can also derive the design parameters and operating conditions of the lab-scale pyrolyzer. The results can be used as primary data for designing a system to produce RPF (Refuse Plastic Fuel), a waste incinerator and a pyrolysis/gasification process.

It is now widely recognized that the disposal of packaging waste is an increasing environmental concern. Recent interest in polymer waste management of packaging materials has added incentive to the research. Poly(vinyl alcohol) is a readily biodegradable water-soluble polymer. However, this polymer cannot be processed by conventional extrusion technologies because the melting point of PVA is close to its decomposition temperature. Therefore, PVA films have been mostly prepared by solvent casting from water. Applications of PVA include sizing, binders, fibers, and films for agricultural chemicals and hospital laundry bags. A better understanding of PVA films, which also play important roles in the degradation of plastics, will expand the usage of PVA. Composite films based on PVA generally exhibit better mechanical and thermal properties than pure PVA. The aim of this review article is to review types, formation, and properties of PVA films and PVA based composite films used in packaging related researches.

To prevent environmental pollution caused by leakage of leachate from waste landfill, vinyl acetate-ethylene (VAE) resin is applied to liner and cover materials to improve their performance. Styrene, styrene butadiene rubber, and VAE are widely used as polymer resins that have excellent water resistance and durability. Further, VAE resin is known to have additional advantages such as adhesion to nonpolar materials and resistance to saponification as a copolymer. In this study, the effect of VAE content on the properties of liner and cover materials was studied. The water and air content ratios, bending and compressive strengths, water absorption ratio, and coefficient of permeability of these materials were measured. The liner and cover materials with 4 wt% VAE showed good properties.
