The aim of this study was to investigate changes in the weight of Zophobas morio larvae and mass of polystyrene foam when the larvae were fed polystyrene for 27 days. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry was used to determine whether the polystyrene was broken down by the larvae. Forty Z. morio larvae (four replicates with 10 larvae per replicate) were reared in a chamber under controlled conditions with polystyrene foam blocks as their sole diet. The weight of the Z. morio larvae and mass of the polystyrene foam decreased as a function of time. The average weight of the larvae and mass of the polystyrene foam blocks decreased by 16.3 and 6.5%, respectively, over the 27-day period. The FTIR spectrum of Z. morio larvae fed with polystyrene foam did not reveal the unique peaks associated with polystyrene. In conclusion, this study suggests the possibility of using Z. morio larvae as a management technology for degrading waste plastics without a negative environmental effect. Key words : FTIR spectra, plastic biodegradation, polystyrene foam, Zophobas morio larvae.

신발스크랩으로부터 발생되는 폐우레탄 발포체(waste urethane foam)와 폐우레탄(waste urethane scrap, $5{\sim}7mm$)의 재활용을 위하여 첫째, 양액재배용 배지의 구성 요소로 사용하여 장미 재배 적용가능성을 조사하였으며, 둘째, 폐우레탄으로부터 재생우레탄(Recycled Thermoplastic Polyurethane : RTPU)을 제조하여 RTPU와 HIPS(High Impact Polystyrene)를 블렌드한 후 이의 적용성을 확장하기 위하여 RTPU/HIPS 블렌드물에 amine계 발포제를 사용하여 발포체를 제조하였다. 양액재배용 배지의 구성요소로서 폐고무의 재활용에 있어서는 식물의 성장에 영향을 미치는 pH, 전기전도도, 생육 등을 조사하였으며, 폐우레탄 발포체의 물성은 TGA, DSC, FT-IR, SEM등을 이용하여 조사하였다. 본 연구는 폐우레탄 재활용 가능성의 다각화에 목적을 두었다.

Background: The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) is gaining attention as an efficient decomposer of food waste. However, recalcitrant compounds such as plastics mixed into food waste may have negative effects on its growth and survival. Moreover, its efficiency of food waste degradation may also be affected by plastics. In addition, salt (NaCl) can also be present in high concentrations, which also reduces the efficiency of H. illucens-mediated food waste treatment. In this study, we assessed the growth of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) reared on food waste containing polyethylene (PE) and polystyrene (PS) and NaCl. The weight of BSFL was measured every 2-4 days. Survival and substrate reduction rates and pupation ratio were determined at the end of the experiment. Results: The total larval weight of Hermetia illucens reared on food waste containing PS was greater than that of the control on days 20 and 24. However, the survival rate was lower in the group treated with 5% PS, as was substrate reduction in all PS-treated groups. The weight of BSFL reared on food waste containing PE was lower than that of the control on day 6. PE in food waste did not affect the survival rate, but the pupation ratio increased and substrate consumption decreased with increasing PE concentrations. Regardless of the plastic type, the addition of NaCl resulted in decreased larval weight and pupation ratio. Conclusions: Larval growth of black soldier fly was inhibited not by plastics but by substrate salinity. Additional safety assessments of larvae reared on food waste containing impurities are needed to enable wider application of BSFL in vermicomposting.

Roll을 사용한 mastication에 의한 polystyrene(단독시와 SBR과의 blend시)의 기계적분열에 대하여 검토한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. Polystyrene-SBR blend계에서 polystyrene 성분의 MWD는, original polystyrene속에 존재하는 고분자량의 polymer 분자가 기계적으로 절단되어 소멸하여 보다 낮은 분자량의 polymer 분자를 생성하며, 분포곡선의 정점은 분열이 진행함에 따라 저분자량역으로 이동하고 점차 높은 정점을 가지는 폭이 좁은 곡선으로 되어 최종적으로 비교적 균일한 polymer로 됨을 실증하였다. 2. Polystyrene chain의 절단수는 roll에 의한 mastication time이 길어짐에 따라 증가하였고, 140, 150 alc $160^{\circ}C$에서 각각 100분간 mastication시킨 처리물에서는 $2.36{\times}10^{20}개,\;1.76{\times}10^{20}개\;및\;1.52{\times}10^{20}$개의 분열 polymer가 생성하였다. 3. Polystyrene의 mechanical degradation의 분열속도는 온도가 상승함에 따라 감소되었고, -8.7kcal/mole이란 부(負)의 활성화에너지를 나타내었으며, 따라서 이 경우의 mechanical degradation은 활성화에너지를 기계적으로 공급받는 화학적 process임을 실증하였다.

0.4 Million tons of shell powder have been disused as waste in KOREA and caused severe environmental pollution though shell powder can be utilized in real life for many ways. It is impending problem to recycle shell powder as it requires high expense for burying and temporary outside heap and causes severe environmental pollution being a main factor of ocean waste. To suggest the basic data for development of eco-friendly and high-function Wall Coatings Thin Textured Finishes, a wall coating sample was applied to indoor walls of a mock-up and temperature and humidity were measured to assess the thermal performance of it, and a survey of preference for the color sense and feel of the materials with a movie of specimens. The results of the study are following; 1) High insulation performance is shown from the assessment result of the room polystyrene board adhered on the walls then high humidity controlling performance is shown from that of the room polystyrene board coated by shell powder. This point out that shell powder has superiority for humidity controlling. 2) The result of thermal and humidity assessment shows that shell powder makes up for thermal conduction of the polystyrene board and same result can be expected from the assessment with materials which has similar thermal characteristics with polystyrene.3) Ranking of preferred specimens is; 1st Case 13, 2nd Case 17, 3rd Case 16, and 4th Case 12. Preferred shell powder was the ark shell. Preferred powder for plaster was the powder mixed with that sifted by 0.8mm, 100mesh and 40mesh, and for spray was the fine powder mixed with that sifted by 100mesh and 40mesh.

폴리스티렌의 열분해반응에서 분해반응속도 및 생성되는 오일 중에 함유된 스틸렌모노머와 부산물로 얻어지는 에틸벤젠, 알파메틸스티렌, 다이머, 트라이머 등은 반응온도 및 반응시간 등의 여러 가지 변수들에 의해 영향을 받았으며, 특히 반응시간에 따라 반응성 및 스티렌의 수율은 많은 차이를 보였다. 이 결과는 열분해 반응과정에서 생성되는 유기성 잔류물과 고화탄소의 영향 때문에 기인하였다. 연속열분해시간의 진행과 함께 생성되는 오일의 수율이 저하되었으며 오일에 함유되어 있는 스티렌의 선택도는 감소하였으며 부산물인 알파메틸스티렌, 에틸벤젠, 벤젠, 톨루엔 등의 부산물의 생성은 증가하였다. 본 연구결과로부터 새로운 연속반응을 위한 열분해반응기를 사용하였다.

Removal of nitrogen compound from waste water is essential and often accomplished by biological process. To prevent washout and to develop an efficient bioreactor, immobilization of sutibal microorganisms could be sensible approach. Strains and permeabilized cell encapsulated in cellulose nitrate microcapsules and immobilized on polystyrene films were prepared by the method described in the previous study. In the wastewater treatment system, nitrification of ammonia component is generally known as rate controlling step. To enhance the rate of nitrification, firstly nitrifying strains Nitrosomonas europaea(IFO14298), are permeabilized chemically, and immobilized on polystyrene films and secondly oxidation rates of strain system and permeabilized strain system are compared in the same condition. with 30 minute permeabilized cells, it took about 25 hours to oxidize 70% of ammonia in the solution, while it took about 40 hours to treat same amount of ammonia with untreated cells. All the immobilization procedures did not harm to the enzyme activity and no mass transfer resistance through the capsule well was shown. In the durability test of immobilized system, the system showed considerable activity for the repeated operation for 90 days. With these results, the system developed in this study showed the possibility to be used in the actual waste water treatment system.

A novel microwave-induced pyrolysis of polystyrene in motor oil was performed using a quartz tube reactor with silicon carbide as the microwave absorbent. Different pyrolysis conditions were investigated, such as time range from 30 minutes to 1 hour and power range from 180 to 250 watt. The distillate components were analyzed with GC-MS, and styrene, 1-methyl styrene, toluene, ethyl benzene were the four main products. Among these, styrene took over 70 percentages. Temperature of the complete pyrolysis using microwave was much lower than that of conventional thermal pyrolysis method.
