MTBE (Methyl tertiary-butyl ether) has been commonly used as an octane enhancer to replace tetraethyl lead in gasoline, because MTBE increases the efficiency of combustion and decreases the emission of carbon monoxide. However, MTBE has been found in groundwater from the fuel spills and leaks in the UST (Underground Storage Tank). Fenton's oxidation, an advanced oxidation catalyzed with ferrous iron, is successful in removing MTBE in groundwater. However, Fenton's oxidation requires the continuous addition of dissolved $Fe^{2+}$. Zero-valent iron is available as a source of catalytic ferrous iron of MFO (Modified Fenton's Oxidation) and has been studied for use in PRBs (Permeable Reactive Barriers) as a reactive material. Therefore, this study investigated the condition of optimization in MFO-PRBs using waste zero-valent iron (ZVI) with the waste steel scrap to treat MTBE contaminated groundwater. Batch tests were examined to find optimal molar ratio of MTBE : $H_2O_2$ on extent to degradation of MTBE in groundwater at pH 7 with 10% waste ZVI. As the results, the ratio of optimization of MTBE to hydrogen peroxide for MFO was determined to be 1:300[mM]. The column experiment was conducted to know applicability of MFO-PRBs for MTBE remediation in groundwater. As the results of column test, MTBE was removed 87% of the initial concentration during 120days of operational period. Interestingly, MTBE was degraded not only within waste ZVI column but also within sand column. It means the aquifer may affect continuously the MTBE contaminated groundwater after throughout the waste ZVI barrier. The residual products showed acetone, TBF (Tert-butyl formate) and TBA (Tert-butyl acetate) during this test. The results of the present study showed that the recycled materials can be effectively used for not only a source of catalytic ferrous iron but also a reactive material of the MFO-PRBs to remove MTBE in groundwater.

Construction development and greenhouse gas emissions have globally required a strategic management to take some steps to stain and maintain the environment. Nowadays, recycled aggregates, in particular ceramic waste, have been widely used in concrete structures due to the economic and environmentally friendly solution, requiring the knowledge of recycled concrete. Also, one of the materials used as a substitute for concrete cement is wollastonite mineral to decrease carbon dioxide (CO2) from the cement production process by reducing the concrete consumption in concrete. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of wollastonite on the mechanical properties and durability of conventional composite concrete, containing recycled aggregates such as compressive strength, tensile strength (Brazilian test), and durability to acidic environment. On the other hand, in order to determine the strength and durability of the concrete, 5 mixing designs including different wollastonite values and recovered aggregates including constant values have been compared to the water - cement ratio (w/c) constant in all designs. The experimental results have shown that design 5 (containing 40% wollastonite) shows only 6.1% decrease in compressive strength and 4.9% decrease in tensile strength compared to the control plane. Consequently, the use of wollastonite powder to the manufacturing of conventional structural concrete containing recycled ceramic aggregates, in addition to improving some of the properties of concrete are environmentally friendly solutions, providing natural recycling of materials.

A parallel reactor system which is consisted of two trickle bed reactors (TBR) was developed for the biodegradation of trichloroethylene (TCE) in waste gas stream. The reactor were packed with porous ceramic materials and Burkholderia cepacia G4 was inoculated to form biofilms. Each reactor was operated alternatively in TCE degradation or reactivation mode, and the effect of switching time on TBR performance was investigated. The MO (monooxygenase) activity during the TCE transformation decreased below 10 % within 24 hr, but could be recovered to the initial high level within 10 hr after supplying the reactivation medium supplemented with phenol as a carbon source. This shows that the parallel TBR system has a great potential for the long-term stable treatment of TCE.

Heavy oil fly ash (HOFA) is a byproduct generated by the burning of heavy fuel oil. Chemical analysis showed that HOFA is mainly composed of unburned carbon with a significant amount of heavy metals. Due to toxicity, management of this waste poses a challenge to the industry personal. The present study investigates the possible use of HOFA as a black pigment or admixture in cement mortar aiming to produce ornamental brick. In order to investigate the change of cement mortar strength when HOFA is added, the standard compressive strength test with 50 mm cubes was performed. The results showed that the addition of 2-5 % of HOFA in cement mortar does not affect its strength. The leaching behavior of trace elements within HOFA and HOFA mixed mortar were investigated through laboratory batch leaching experiments. The results confirmed that HOFA can be utilized as a black pigment in ornamental brick, which is environmentally safe and provides good balance between color and brick properties.

일반적으로 초산을 제조하기 위해 사용되는 CO를 생산하기 위하여 납사(Naptha)를 가스화하는 부분산화공정을 이용하거나 촉매를 사용한 Steam reforming공정을 적용하고 있다. 가스화 및 Steam reforming의 원료가 되는 납사는 고가이므로 폐기물의 가스화를 통해 발생하는 합성가스 내의 CO를 활용하여 초산제조의 원료로 사용할 수 있다면 초산제조 공정에서의 CO 제조 비용 절감 및 폐기물 자원화의 효과를 동시에 달성할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구에서는 폐기물의 가스화를 통해 발생한 합성가스 내의 CO에 대한 초산제조의 원료로의 적용가능성을 검토하기 위하여 폐기물의 종류 및 성상에 따른 CO 발생량을 비교하였다.

Biochar is a novel carbon based material derived from waste that shows promising properties for several applications. In this paper we investigate its potential use as a low cost, greener alternative to commonly used aggregates employed to enhance the neutron shielding performance of concrete. Monte Carlo simulations are performed with the PHITS code to estimate the neutron attenuation of blank and biochar-reinforced concrete exposed to high energy neutrons. We find that the shielding performance of concrete with 15% biochar is comparable with commonly used materials such as Boron Carbide at 20% and exceeds that of Basalt fibers with the same concentration, making these composites an interesting greener alternative to current solutions. A combination of biochar and heavier fillers also show extremely promising performance.

양송이 폐상배지의 퇴비 활용성을 검토하고자 유기물원 2종류, 질소원 3종류를 각각 혼용하여 퇴비화과정을 거쳐 퇴비의 이화학적 특성 및 미생물상의 변화를 조사하였다. 처리별 자재 혼용비율은 퇴비의 기준인 유기물 함량 25%이상 함유되도록 조절하였다. 유기물원은 톱밥이 볏짚보다 높았으며, 질소원은 계분 >> 돈분 > 우분 순 340 경기천 이희덕 정영필 장갑열 윤민호으로 높았다. 발효기간 동안 폐배지+돈분+볏짚 처리구는 빠른 온도 변화를 보였으며, 폐배지3:톱밥9:돈분1 (MSP) 처리구는 발효 중간까지 온도상승이 지속적으로 유지되는 결과를 보였다. 또한 pH는 초기에 8.5~9.0으로 높게 유지되다가 종료시점에 7.5 수준으로 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 발효 후 유기물함량 변화는 볏짚 처리구는 19~21% 수준으로 감소되었으나, 톱밥을 처리할 경우 25~27% 수준을 유지하였고, 그 중 폐배지3:톱밥9:계분1 (MSF)에서 유기물 26.2% 와, 질소 0.68%로 가장 높았다. 탄소원으로 볏짚을 사용한 경우 퇴비제조 후 부피가 절반으로 줄어든 반면 톱밥은 30% 정도밖에 줄어들지 않았다. 퇴비제조 후 미생물상 변화는 탄소원의 경우 볏짚 처리구가 톱밥 처리구보다 전반적으로 개체수가 많았으며, 특히 호기성세균, Gram 음성균, Bacillus 등이 많았고, 질소원은 계분 > 돈분 > 우분 순으로 미생물 개체수가 많았다. 생균수는 퇴비 발효 전 보다 $1{\times}10^1{\sim}1{\times}10^2\;cfu\;g^{-1}$ 수준으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 양송이폐상배지를 이용한 퇴비 제조 시 폐배지3:톱밥9:계분1 (MSF 3:9:1 v/v/v) 처리에서 높은 유기물과 질소원으로 양질의 퇴비가 되었으며 퇴비발효기간은 50~60일이었다.

This study examined effects of the fermented leachate of food waste (FLFW) on nitrogen and phosphorous removal for domestic wastewater containing a low carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio in sequencing batch reactor (SBR). When the FLFW was not supplied in the process, release of phosphorus and excessive intake was not observed at both anaerobic and aerobic stages. On the other hand, when the FLFW was gradually added, active release of phosphorus and intake of phosphorus was noticed at an anaerobic stage and aerobic stage, respectively, resulting in improved phosphorus removal efficiency. The removal efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus was increased from 75% and 37% (R-1, control test) to 97% and 80% (R-4, the highest substrate ratio test), respectively. In addition, although activity of the nitrogen oxidizing microorganisms was reduced when the reaction temperature was decreased to $10^{\circ}C$, the phosphorus removal efficiency was shown to increase with the addition of FLFW, indicating an independence from temperature. Overall, this study suggests that an efficient nutrients removal process can be successfully employed into a SBR when the FLFW is added to a wastewater which has a low C/N ratio.
