This study examined oyster shells on a laboratory scale to determine whether they could be used as a replacement for limestone (PCC: precipitated calcium carbonate) as a filler in the paper production process. The optimum PCC production conditions and phase conversion rate at laboratory scale and 10 kg pilot plant scale were compared. For the phase conversion rate of CaO, 86.4% of the oyster shell and 55.6% of the limestone were converted. 80.4% of 86.4% CaO from the oyster shell and 52.0% of 55.6% CaO from the limestone were converted to Ca(OH)2. 99.6% of the oyster shell Ca(OH)2 and 100% of the limestone Ca(OH)2 were converted to PCC at laboratory scale. Meanwhile, the PCC phase conversion rate of oyster shells using the pilot plant was found to be 96.2%. To examine the potential for commercialization, PCC made of oyster shells was used in paper factories H and M for the applicable tests. As a result, the tensile strength, elongation, and internal bond strength of the product using the PCC from the oyster shells were similar to those of the product of paper factory H. However, approximately 2% reduction in bulk, 2% reduction in whiteness, and 0.3% reduction in opacity were reduced in paper factory H. For the product of paper factory M, the pH of 12.5 exceeds the KS standard, and the viscosity and residue are significantly higher than those of the product paper factory M. This study showed that the PCC phase conversion rate for oyster shells is higher than that for limestone under the conditions of PCC manufacturing at laboratory and pilot plant scales. The PCC whiteness test results of 99% for the pilot plant PCC, 97% for the lab scale PCC, and 93% for the limestone PCC illustrate that oyster shells are a useful material for manufacturing PCC. Because each process requires different physical properties and particle conditions, although the same PCC obtained from the oyster shells was used in both factories, it was applicable in paper factory H but not in paper factory M. Therefore, in order to examine applicability of the oyster shell-derived PCC for paper manufacturing processes, additional research is required on the adjustment of the physical properties standard and uniformity particle.

본 연구는 수산양식업 활동에 의해 발생한 굴 패각 폐기물이 미처리야적 및 무단 투기되면서 악취, 환경위해성 및 연안환경악화 등의 문제를 해결하고, 낭비되는 자원인 굴 패각 폐기물의 재활용 방안 수립을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 실험에 사용된 시료는 부산광역시 강서구 용원동 일원에 미처리 야적된 굴 패각 폐기물을 직접 채취하여 사용하였다. 굴 패각 폐기물의 유기물 및 염분 등의 제거를 위하여 솔을 이용하여 수세척한 뒤, 105℃에서 24시간 건조하였다. 소성공정은 온도(600~1,200℃) 및 시간변화(1~6시간)를 주면서 실험하였으며, 소성한 굴 패각을 분쇄하여 입도분리 공정을 통해 100 mesh 이하로 체 거름 하였다. 그 결과 최적 소성조건은 CaO 함량 및 기타불순물 함량에 의해 900℃ 2시간으로 나타났으며, 개발된 재생석회를 이용하여 광산폐수의 중금속 제거를 위한 Jar-test를 이용한 회분식 흡착실험을 진행하였다. 광산폐수 주입량은 300 mL로 하였고 재생석회 주입량(3~9 g) 및 교반시간(10~120분) 변화에 따른 pH 및 중금속(As, Zn, Pb, Fe 및 Cu) 분석을 하였다. 광산폐수 원수의 pH는 3.08로 나타났으며, 중금속 중 As 불검출, Zn 10.89 mg/L, Cd 0.16 mg/L, Pb 0.10 mg/L, Fe 70.52 mg/L 및 Cu 13.00 mg/L로 나타났다. Jar-test를 통한 흡착실험 결과, 최적 흡착실험조건은 재생석회 주입량 7 g, 교반시간 10분으로 나타났으며, 이때 광산폐수 pH는 12.80, As 불검출, Zn 0.31 mg/L, Cd 불검출, Pb 불검출 mg/L, Fe 0.02 mg/L 및 Cu 불검출 되었다. 이와 같이, 본 연구에서는 굴 패각 폐기물의 재활용 방안 중 석회로서 수처리제로의 광산폐수 처리에 주안점을 두고 연구를 진행하였으며, 향후 보다 많은 재활용 방안에 대한 연구가 진행된다면 굴 패각 폐기물에 의한 연안환경 악화 개선 및 낭비되는 자원의 재사용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The several functions of manufactured the gypsum incorporating oyster shell powder coated by submicro-silver solutionand carrried out the tests for the adsorption of formaldehyde and antibiotic actions. Several environmentally- friendlyarchitectural materials, clay and flyash were tested for the comparison of the adsorption efficiency. The mortar by solidifiedand dried was exposed in the small chamber for the 180min with 4000µg/m3 of the initial concentration of formaldehydeand observed high removal efficiency which result was not any difference in adsorption performance of other tested materials.The microbial flora analysis of oyster mortar coated by submicro-silver solution and the similarity test were performed andobserved that the densities of Aeromonas sp. Enterococcus sp., and Micrococcus sp. were decreased and the densities ofStaphylococcus sp., Escherichia sp., Bacillus sp., were taphylococcus sp, Escherichia sp., and Bacillus sp. were increased.

본 연구는 남해안 연안에 방치되고 있는 굴패각을 세골재 크기의 5.0mm이하로 분쇄하여 실제 현장에서 사용가능한 세골재 대체재로 활용하여 굴패각을 사용한 콘크리트의 성질 및 제반 강도들에 대해 연구한 것이다. 이를 위해 기본 실험과 주요 변화 요인들에 대해 1,028개의 공시체 및 시험체를 제작․실험한 결과 굴패각을 사용한 콘크리트 제반 강도는 일반콘크리트 강도와 최대 10%정도 차이를 보였으며 세골재 대체재로서 우수한 굴패각 입도크기는 5.0mm이하를 균등하게 취한 경우로 약 30%까지는 대체 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 본 논문에서는 굴패각을 사용한 제반 콘크리트 강도상호 관계식들을 제시하였고 이의 탄성계수는 굴패각 대체율이 증가할수록 감소하였는데 대체율 10%까지는 거의 유사한 값을 보였다.

This study was conducted to use oyster shell as media for biological wastewater treatment. The comparison between the removal efficiencies of the activated sludge and the submerged biofilm process with oyster shell media (5% of reactor volume) for domestic sewage treatment was made. The contaminant removal efficiencies of the submerged process were higher than that of the activated sludge process. And the removal efficiencies of the submerged biofilm process with oyster shell media of 10% and 18% were investigated at various loading rate. The removal efficiencies of 10% were higher than that of the 18% during the experimental period. The effluent concentration from the submerged biofilm process using oyster shell media was prediceted by the Stover-Kincannon model.
