Simulating natural leaching process for cementitious materials is essential to perform long-term safety assessments of repositories for nuclear waste. However, the current test methods in literature are time consuming, limited to crushed material and often produce small size samples which are not suitable for further testing. This paper presents the results from the study of the physical (gas permeability as well as chloride diffusion coefficient) and mechanical properties (tensile and compressive strength and elastic modulus) of solid cementitious specimens which have been depleted in calcium by the use of a newly developed method for accelerated calcium leaching of solid specimens of flexible size. The results show that up to 4 times increase in capillary water absorption, 10 times higher gas permeability and at least 3 times higher chloride diffusion rate, is expected due to complete leaching of the Portlandite. This coincides with a 70 % decrease in mechanical strength and more than 40 % decrease in elastic modulus.

In this study, lots of methods have been studing to utilize energy and decrease contaminated effluents. There has been great progress on IGCC (Integrated gasification combined cycle) to reduce thermal energy losses. The following results have been conducted from desulfurization experiments using waste shell to remove H$_2$S. According to TGA results, temperature had influenced on H$_2$S removal efficiency. As desulfurization temperature increased, desulfurization efficiency increased. Also, maximum desulfurization efficiency was observed at 80$0^{\circ}C$. Desulfurization was related to calcination temperature. Considering temperature ranges of exhausted gas from hot gas gasification equipment were 400~80$0^{\circ}C$. Thus, desulfurization efficiency would be increased desulfurization temperature situation at highly. Experiments by TGA showed that particle size of sorbents had influenced on desulfurization capacity. Maximum desulfurization capacity was observed at 0.631 mm for oyster and clam. Rest of sorbents showed similar capacity within 0.171~0.335 mm particle size range. So, particle size would be considered. When would be used waste shells as IGCC sorbents. According to the results about desulfurization capacity by TGA, oyster had the best desulfurization capacity among limestone and waste shell. We would be identify to substituted oyster for existing sorbents

This study is collects design data through the process design of the organic Rankine cycle, which can produce 20kW of electric power through the recovery of waste heat. In this study, the simulation was conducted by using APSEN HYSYS in order to make the model for the process design of the 20kW class waste heat recovery system. For the thermodynamic model, the test was conducted with hot water as the heat source, with the water steam used as the cooling water for the cooler and the refrigerant R245fa in the cycle. In Case 1 and Case 2, it was expected and found that the cycle efficiency was 10.6% and that 36.86kw was produced, considering the margin of 84% of 20kW. In Case 3 and Case 4, it was expected and found from the simulation that the cycle efficiency was 12% and that 30.0kw was produced, considering the margin of 84% of 20kW.

A 2-loop waste heat recovery system with Rankine steam cycles for the improvement of fuel efficiency of gasoline vehicles has been investigated. A high temperature loop is used to recover waste heat from exhaust gas and a low temperature loop is used to recover waste heat from cold engine coolant. This paper has dealt with a layout of low temperature loop system, the review of the velocity contours through numerical analysis. According to the result of analysis, the designed heat exchanger. And comparing with flow analysis results, LT Boiler is safe to operation.

This study aims to gain the design data through the process design of the organic Rankine cycle, which can produce 250kW of electric power through waste heat recovery. In this study, a simulation was conducted using APSEN HYSYS to make the model for the process design of the 250kW-class waste heat recovery system. For the thermodynamic model, the test was conducted with hot water as the heat source, the water steam as the cooling water for the cooler, and the refrigerant R245FA in the cycle. In the final design, it was expected and found from the simulation that the cycle efficiency was 12.62% and that 250kW of power was produced considering the margin of 80%.

In order to improve the overall efficiency and meet the emission regulations of boiler systems, the heat exchanging methods between inlet air and exhaust gas have been used in boiler systems, named as the waste-heat-recovery condensing boiler. Recently, to further improve the overall efficiency and to reduce the NOx emission simultaneously, the concept of the water injection into the inlet air is introduced. This study suggests the models for the optimized design parameters of water injection for waste-heat-recovery condensing boilers and performs the analysis regarding the water injection amount and droplet sizes for the optimized water injection. At first, the required amount of the water injection was estimated based on the 1^st law of thermodynamics under the assumption of complete evaporation of the injected water. The result showed that the higher the inlet air and exhaust gas temperature into the heat exchanger, the larger the amount of injected water is needed. Then two droplet evaporation models were proposed to analyze the required droplet size of water injection for full evaporation of injected water: one is the evaporation model of droplet in the inlet air and the other is that on the wall of heat exchanger. Based on the results of two models, the maximum allowable droplet sizes of water injection were estimated in various boiler operating conditions with respect to the residence time of the inlet air in the heat exchanger.

A hear transfer model was developed to calculate the temperature distribution in the rotary kiln incinerator of municipal solid waste. The thermo-gravimetric characteristics of waste and the gas-to-waste heat transfer coefficient were determined by comparing the experimental results and model prediction. With this, heat transfer rates by existing heat transfer mechanisms were calculated to be compared each other. The effects of treatment capacity, calorific value of waste, and flow rate and temperature of combustion air on the temperature distribution in the rotary kiln incinerator were predicted by the model developed in this work.

Experiments have been carried out to investigate the burning characteristics of waste tires in high temperature environments. The burning of waste tire chips consists of four stages ; evaporation of volatile matters, ignition, burning of volatile matters, and burning of solid carbon. Burning time of waste tire chips depends on the gas temperature and the initial weight of the chip. However, the environments. In the ceramic matrix burner with a ceramic radiation shield, the burning time of the waste tire chips becomes shorter than that without the shield. This is due to the increase in heat transfer to the tire chips by radiation.

Environmental waste treatment technology is transforming from incineration system to pyrolysis gasification system. And there it is necessary for our country to adapt gasification system urgently to prevent the land pollution and lack of landfill area. The objective of this study was to determine the pesticides residues of derived product of pyrolysis gasification system for recycling of waste plastic by gas chromatograph-mass selective detector and nitrogen phosphorus detector. The residual pesticides were not detected in derived product of waste recyling. But some pesticide was detected on raw level (0.02 ～ 0.05 ppm) in waste plastic sample.
