The world's cement demand is anticipated to increase about 2.558$\%$ every year until the first half of the 21st century. To be closed the increase of cenment damand and simultaneously comply with the Kyoto Protocal, cement that gives less carbon dioxide(Co2) discharge should be urgently developed. If cement can be manufactured with industrial byproducts such as granulated blast furnace slag(GBFS), phosphogypsum(PG), and waste lime(WL) instead of clinker as its counterproposal, there would be many advantages including maximum use of these industrial byproducts for high value-added resources, conservation of natural resources and energy by omitting the use of clinker, minimized environmental pollution problems caused by Co2 discharge and reduction of the cost. So this study aims to solve the problems by manufacturing non-sintered cement.

Recently, waste landfills built on seashores have been increased because of the easy availability of broad area near the urban communities. To evaluate the performance of the marine clay landfill liner numerical contaminant transport analyses are performed by selecting the typical section of a waste landfill built on seashores and using hydraulic conductivity data obtained from the site. Also, the laboratory electrical resistivity test and the in-situ corrosion test are performed in order to analyze the influence of the soil and leachates composing the landfills on the construct ion materials. From the results of contaminant transport analyses, it is shown that the leachates can be migrated faster through narrow pervious channels than the wide homogeneous pervious tedium and the importance of good quality barriers to prevent the contaminant migration is recognized. In the laboratory electrical resistivity test all the earth materials except the cover soils saturated with distilled water have small resistivities, which shows a high potential of corrosivity of soils composing landfills. However, the degree of corrosion of specimens buried in the landfills was not so severe except the zinc and carbon steel specimens. This apparently conflict results present the necessity of the investigation of other major factors and the long term in-situ corrosion test.

Environmentally-friendly whole-cut designs can minimize carbon dioxide emissions which are harmful to the earth, and reduce energy, labor force and time in cutting or sewing clothes. The design and way of wearing clothing will be investigated by classifying whole-cut clothing appearing in the history of costume and past traditional outfits such as Drapery, a Pancho, Tunic, or Loincloth. According to the results from the analysis of whole-cut methods applied in design, they were classified as follows: whole-cut, utilizing square-panels as is, pleats, smoking, lip band, origami, cutting way, and subtraction-cutting whole-cut design. The whole-cut design utilizing square panel as it is can minimize the waste of energy and material but can also maximize the possibility of circulation by recycling. In utilizing an all square panel, it broke away from the existing whole-cut in the western pattern, namely, the pattern of clothes clinging to the body, and was found to have new aesthetic value with a new approach. Due to the whole-cut method having a restriction in the use of dart and line cutting in its designing process, there were only designs that did not show the body line, such as designs clinging to the body. Therefore we developed a design similar to those that cling to the body by whole-cut, In addition, the work produced was with high efficiency and variability, which produces simple designs but can be worn in a variety of ways.

This study is analyzed combustion phenomena based on the environmental energy facility incinerator. It is assumed that combustible components of waste are composed of carbon and hydrogen, and the combustion process of fuel is by setting as multi-component / multistage reaction. As the combustion chamber is burned, the high temperature environment is achieved, also the heat transfer accompanied by the turbulent flow and the generation of NOx, a pollutant, are interpreted to predict the thermal and fluid characteristics and pollution emissions of the grate incinerator. As the result of internal flow analysis, the slow flow around the ash chute and the mixing effect due to the complicated turbulence around the combustion chamber were predicted to show excellent performance. It is shown to the internal average temperature was about $1024^{\circ}C$, around the about $1000^{\circ}C$ homogeneous temperature distribution. Due to the sudden temperature decrease in the boiler, the flue gas temperature at the outlet was estimated to be about $220^{\circ}C$.

A novel, green, versatile and magnetically retrievable BiFeO₃/CDR (Bismuth ferrite/coriander) nanocomposites were fabricated via simple wet chemical method utilizing in situ functionalized, cheap coriander seed powder (CDR 5%, 10%, 15% and 20 wt%) as a fuel to enhance the efficiency of pristine BiFeO₃. A comparative study was performed between BiFeO₃/CDR and BiFeO₃/CNT (Bismuth ferrite/carbon nanotubes) nanocomposites for the removal of various hazardous pollutants from waste water. The successful synthesis of the fabricated nanomaterials was monitored via FT-IR, Powder XRD, FE-SEM, CV, VSM, CHNS/O and XPS studies. The synthesized nanomaterials were employed for the oxidative degradation of Carbol fuchsin, Reactive black 5, Ciprofloxacin and Doxorubicin; adsorption of a pesticide malathion; and reduction studies for Para-nitrophenol (PNP). The fabricated nanomaterials (BiFeO₃/CDR) showcased excellent efficiency and comparable results with (BiFeO₃/CNT) for the removal of model pollutants. Moreover, synthesized green heterojunction was also testified for mixture of textile and pharmaceutical waste. Hence CDR can be utilized as a better alternative of CNTs.

The safety of a KTC-360 transport cask, a large-capacity pressurized heavy-water reactor transport cask that transports CANDU spent nuclear fuel discharged from the reactor after burning in a pressurized heavy-water reactor, must be demonstrated under the normal transport and accident conditions specified under transport cask regulations. To confirm the thermal integrity of this cask under normal transport and accident conditions, high-temperature and fire tests were performed using a one-third slice model of an actual KTC-360 cask. The results revealed that the surface temperature of the cask was 62℃, indicating that such casks must be transported separately. The highest temperature of the CANDU spent nuclear fuel was predicted to be lower than the melting temperature of Zircaloy-4, which was the sheath material used. Therefore, if normal operating conditions are applied, the thermal integrity of a KTC-360 cask can be maintained under normal transport conditions. The fire test revealed that the maximum temperatures of the structural materials, stainless steel, and carbon steel were 446℃ lower than the permitted maximum temperatures, proving the thermal integrity of the cask under fire accident conditions.

Concrete, consisting mainly of cement, water and aggregates; is the most used construction material all over the world. Cement manufacturing industry is one of the carbon dioxide producing sources that contributes to global warming. Therefore, in the last few years, there is a growing interest in using waste materials and by-products as cement replacement materials. Using these kinds of materials as a part of cement replacement reduces the air pollution, cost and also enhances some properties of concretes. In the present work, marble dust (MD) was examined as a partial cement replacement material with seven proportions as 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% and glass powder (GP) was used as an additive, 8% by cement weight, in a 0.55 water-binder ratio concrete. In order to evaluate their effects; workability, strength (compressive, flexural and split tensile), alkalinity, sulphate resistance and ultrasonic pulse velocity tests were performed. Experimental results indicated that with MD replacement and GP addition; there is a loss in the workability but improvement in mechanical properties. With 10% replacement of MD compressive, flexural and tensile strengths increased by 10.7%, 6.2% and 5.3% respectively. Moreover, up to 30% replacement of MD reasonable strength values were obtained.
