The laboratory hydraulic conducti vita tests with rigid wall permeameter were performed to study the effects of waste leachate on the permeability of a marine clay. The marine clay and waste leachate for this study were sampled from Kimpo Wastefills, and the hydraulic gradients applied to the clay specimens aTe relatively high from 37.5 to 225. The test results show that the permeability of a marine clay is increased with increasing the concentration of leachate and with decreasing the hydraulic gradient. And also both the liquid limit and the plasticity index of the marine clay miRed with waste leachate decrease with increasing the concentration of leachate.

A commercial-scale Fluidized Bed Incinerator(FBI) to treat dewatered sludges has been developed by Jindo Corporation, Korea, as one of the governmental R&D project during 1990 to 1997. The FBI plant was constructed at Kunsan city and fully in operation after finishing the successful test-burn period since June 1998. The company now has a capability of the design, construction and operation of commercial FBI plants. This paper introduces the experiences of design and operation of Kunsan FBI plant, which has the capacity of 60 ton/day and incinerates various sludges from waste water treatment facilities and liquid waste such as waste oil or waste solvent.

The reason for permanent shrinking of recycled castable refractories from alumino-silicate waste refractories was investigated and the method to control shrinking is suggested in order to increase maximum service termperature. The porosity of castable refractories with waste material as large aggregate decreases after heat treatment because the porosity of waste refractories is greater than the of green material, in which CaO around large aggregate penetrates into aggregate and promotes liquid phase sintering. The shrinking of recycled castable refractories resulted in the decrease in porosity can be controled by addition of green kaolin chamotte as large aggregate. The shrinking of recycled castable refractories caused by the differences in densities of mineral phases before and after heat treatment can be controled by addition of kyanite. The use of green kaolin chamotte and kyanite increases the service temperature of recycled castable refractories up to 1500$^{\circ}C$.

Membrane separation technology has become a more attractive technology on waste water treatment and water recycle in recent years. On this application, membrane does not take main part of treatment, such as decomposition or handling of organic matter in the waste water, but it is very important supporting method in the total system. Activated sludge is most popular method as main part. In the system , membrane works as a separator to obtain clear water after biological treatment, by which the permeate could be released, recycled or applied to further additional treatment, instead of conventional sedimentation, coagulation and sand filtration. We would like to introduce our system cases for waste water treatment and water recycle, in which membrane separation technology works. In most of cases, membranes are applied to solid- liquid separation of activated sludge. Our experiences will be introduced as following items.

Aquatic fungi from four brackish water lakes; Edku, Burullus and Manzala lakes which are located at the northern region of Egypt and Qarun lake that located in El-Fayoum city are reported in this manuscript. Twenty-nine fungal species which belong to 19 genera of aquatic fungi were recovered from water samples collected from the studied lakes. The most frequently isolated fungal species were Chytridium conferrop, Allomyces throughout and Rhizoclosmatium globosum. Thraustochytrium amoeboidum and Leptolegniella exoosporus have a moderately occurrence frequency. The maximum fungal count of recovered aquatic fungi was recorded in Burrullus lake followed by EdKu, Manzala and Qarun lakes. This study was extended to test the ability of six selected aquatic fungi(Brevilegniella keratinophila, Blastocladiella cystogena, Chytridium conferrop, Entophlyctis variabilis, Schizochytrium mangrovei and Thraustochytrium rosin), to uptake the radionuclide from their culture medium as a step to biologically treat the waste water or solution with radio-cesium and radio-cobalt. Fifty seven of Cs-137 and 35% of Co-60 could be removed from liquid waste by the selected aquatic fungi.

The main purpose of the aeration units in activated sludge process is to enable micro-organisms to metabolize the constituents of the waste effectively by supplying sufficient oxygen for their respiration. Normally, aeration is achieved by bringing the mixture of waste and sludge into intimate contact with air. The main type of aeration unit is diffused air unit in which air is injected into the liquid in the form of bubbles. The object of these laboratory studies is to compare the performance of three laboratory scale aeration systems at various depths of submergence, aerating water with and without the addition of a surface active agent.

Disposal of hazardous ions in the aqueous streams is a significant industrial waste problem.. Waste streams from electronics, electroplating, and photographic industries contain metal ions such as copper, nickel, zinc, chromium(IV), cadmium, aluminum, silver, and gold, amongst others in various aqueous solutions such as sulfates, chlorides, fluorocarbons, and cyanides. Typical plating solutions having similar compositions are listed in Table 1. Spent process streams in catalyst manufacturing facilities also contain precious metals such as Ag, Pt, and Pd. Developing an effective recovery process of these metal ions for reuse is important.

The high Temperatures and long residence times in the combustion zones of cement kiln can use to burn liquid and solid wastes, such as fuel-wastes, sludges and tire-wastes. To the lastest time, treatment methods of industrial waste are incineration treatment, ocean dumping and land dumping. These are the main methods, but all of them may cause vatious kinds of secondary pollution, including air pollution and water pollution. From this point of view, to reuse the Reclaiming-Fuel in Cement Kiln is the most outstanding waste treatment plant in the world and dose not cause any pollution at all.

Cow's liquid manure (CLM), an animal waste, was treated by a batch algal culture to remove inorganic nutrients. CLM used in this study was especially high in concentrations of inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus. The optimum dilution ratio of the CLM for maximum algal growth was 1:25. Ninety five percent of inorganic nitrogen and 100％ of inorganic phosphorus were removed from the CLM with a dilution ratio of 1:25.

Reports of explosions in cargo and storage tanks of high flash point liquids such as residual fuel oil, asphalt, and oily waste water have shown that these explosions have occurred even when the liquid temperatures are well below the liquid nominal flash point. The reasons for these seemingly paradoxical explosions are reviewed and results of recent laboratory tests are presented to better define the conditions leading to flammable vapor atmospheres in these tanks. The potential effectiveness of various prevention measures are discussed including inerting, monitoring tank vapor concentrations, and periodic cleaning of condensation and deposits on the tank walls and roof.
