  • The quantity of the gaseous radioactive waste generated from HANARO operation for the years from 1996 to 2002 has been investigated. The amounts of Ar-41, H-3 and I-131 exhausted to the environment were 6.33E13 Bq, 5.10E12 Bq and 3.26EB Bq, respectively.

  • The quantity of radioactive waste generated from HANARO operation for the years of 1996 to 2003 has been analysed. It was found that the solid waste of $72, 999{\ell}$ and liquid waste of $263, 576{\ell}$ have been generated for the past 8 years. The amounts of Ar-41, I-131 and H-3 exhausted to the environment were 1, 225.6 Ci, 1.612E-2 Ci and 210 Ci, respectively.

  • The objectives of this research were to 1) isolate and identify thermophilic bacteria for food waste treatment; 2) investigate the capability of food waste treatment using Bacillus species; and 3) develop air-dried Bacillus starters for food waste treatment. Five Bacillus species were isolated from food wastes and identified as Bacillus licheniformis (B. licheniformis) G1, Bacillus circulans C2, Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) E1, Bacillus vanillea F1, and Bacillus atrophaeus G2 based on 16S rDNA sequencing. Each identified Bacillus and the mixture of Bacillus species were cultivated in the standard food waste at $45^{\circ}C$ for 8 d. Changes in cell count, solid contents, and pH of the food waste were monitored during cultivation. Air-dried Bacillus cell powders were prepared using wheat flour and lactomil as excipients, and the cell count and survival rate were determined. The cell count of B. licheniformis G1 exhibited the highest number among the tested Bacillus (${\sim}10^8CFU/mL$). The greatest reduction in solid contents of food waste was achieved by B. subtilis E1 (22.6%). The mixture of B. licheniformis G1 and B. subtilis E1 exhibited a synergistic effect on the reduction of solid contents. Lactomil was determined as better excipient than wheat flour based on the greatest survival rate of 95%.

  • There have been many research efforts on biofilter modeling including Ottengraf et al. who derived a model equation for the concentration profile of pollutants(e.g., VOCs) in the biolayer and solved their outlet concentration of the waste gas stream through biofilter. However, for most of research works done so far, the effects to explain the effect of adsorption of organic particles to medium(i.e., adsorbent) have been ignored. In this work biofilter modeling accompanying process lumping has been proposed and the theoretical effect of adsorption property of the medium, on the biofilter performance of eliminating organic components in waste gas stream, is intensively discussed.

  • The objectives of this study are to examine combustion characteristics of E.V.A. and rubber wastes by fixed-bed incinerator, The results are as follows. Combustion temperature with time rises rapidly, and mass of E.V.A. reduces at short time in E.V.A. combustion. In variation of air-fuel ratio (m), ice ideal values of m of E.V.A. and rubber are 2.5, 1.5 respectively. Mixed-waste combustion is more economic than single E.V.A. combustion, because we can get high combustion efficiency (94.0~99.0%) at 2.0 air-fuel ratio of mixed-waste combustion. Removal efficiencies of SO2 at cooling tower are about 20%. The combustion efficiencies of rubber are over 98.0% according to the experimental conditions.

  • In order to review the recent technological progress and issues on the urban mine resources recycling in Japan and Korea, recycling process of the ELV(End of Life Vehicles) and E-waste(WEEE) were studied. Although technological level for processing of the ELV and E-waste is almost similar in both countries, the treatment of hazadous materials of ELV such as freon, air bag and ASR is unsufficient in Korea. In the E-waste recycling, the technological level is deeply different according to the enterprise size in Korea. Finally, the big R&D project on recycling of urban mine resources sponsored by government in both countries were discussed.
