이수식 쉴드 TBM 공법에서 발생하는 부산물인 필터케이크를 유동성 채움재로의 재활용 가능성을 평가하기 위해 다양한 기초 실험을 수행하였다. 필터케이크를 굵은골재 및 잔골재와 혼합하여, 필터케이크의 함량 비율을 증가시키면서 세 가 지 배합(Case 1, Case 2, Case 3)을 구성하였다. 강도 발현을 위한 바인더로는 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트를 사용하였으며, 물- 시멘트비(w/c)를 변화시켜 플로우 시험, 블리딩 시험, 압축강도 시험을 통해 유동성 채움재로서의 가능성을 평가하였다. 시험 결과, 필터케이크 함량이 증가할수록 혼합물의 유동성은 저하되었으며, 이를 보완하기 위해 혼합수의 양을 증가시 키며 적정한 범위의 유동성을 확보하도록 하였으나, 혼합수의 양이 많아질수록 압축강도가 크게 감소하는 경향을 보였 다. 특히, 필터케이크 함량이 가장 높은 Case 3에서는 이러한 현상이 두드러지게 나타났으며, 반면 필터케이크 함량이 적 은 Case 1에서는 상대적으로 높은 강도가 발현되었다. 또한, 필터케이크 함량이 적을수록 혼합물의 유동성은 혼합수량에 민감하게 변화하였다. 블리딩은 필터케이크의 혼합 비율에 영향을 받았으며, 필터케이크 함량이 가장 높은 Case 3에서 블리딩이 가장 적게 발생하였다. 이는 필터케이크의 높은 수분 흡수율이 블리딩 감소에 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다. 즉, 유동성, 강도, 블리딩 사이의 균형을 맞추기 위한 적절한 배합비 설정을 통해 TBM 공법 부산물인 필터케이크는 유 동성 채움재로 재활용 가능성이 높을 것으로 평가하였다.

PURPOSES : This study is conducted to evaluate the development of materials for extinguishing ESS(Energy Storage System) fires in electric vehicles using industrial byproducts. METHODS : Grout containing an appropriate amount of fly ash, silica fume, blast furnace slag powder, and ferronikel slag, which are industrial byproducts, was prepared. The fluidity, stress, and mechanical properties were evaluated in accordance with standard test methods. RESULTS : The fluidity of the materials used for the evolution of ESS fires differed depending on the material of the industrial byproducts. In the case of blast furnace slag, its fluidity is low owing to viscosity even when it content is high, and the use of ferronikelsrag is shown to be suitable for the evolution of ESS fires in fluidity and curing tests. CONCLUSIONS : Fire-extinguishing materials using industrial byproducts require a long curing time but exhibit the fluidity required for ESS fire extinguishment. In particular, the curing and fluidity of Peronikel slag and fly ash are suitable for ESS fire extinguishing.

This study addresses the environmental impact associated with waste management and natural aggregate production. It explores the potential of utilizing Coal Bottom Ash (CBA) and Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Aggregate (RAPA) as complete replacements, respectively, for fine and coarse aggregates in concrete. Despite their similarities to natural aggregates, CBA and RAPA often end up in landfills. Laboratory tests were conducted, revealing satisfactory performance in drying shrinkage and air void parameters. However, while the flexural strength met design requirements, the compressive and splitting tensile strengths were lower than predicted. The deviation in strength development behavior from natural aggregate concrete (NAC) was attributed to weak agglomerated aggregates in RAPA and the large size of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) due to the old asphalt coating surrounding RAPA. To enhance the strength behavior, two methods were employed: compaction in the form of roller-compacted concrete and RAPA abrasion carried out by rolling RAPA in a concrete mixer. Compaction improved aggregate interlock, while RAPA abrasion decreased agglomerated aggregates and minimized asphalt coating, reducing ITZ size. These treatments resulted in improvements in compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile strengths, with the combination of both treatments having the most significant effect. Analysis of relationships between flexural, splitting tensile, and compressive strengths indicated that CBA and RAPA concrete behaved more similarly to NAC after the treatments. This research suggests that with appropriate interventions, it is feasible to utilize CBA and RAPA in concrete, contributing to sustainable construction through improved waste management, carbon footprint reduction, and conservation of natural resources.

The aim of this study was to prepare rice straw silage using cabbage by-product and persimmon peel which are agricultural by-products produced during the same season in Korea. The treatments comprised a commercial corn silage as the control and four rice straw silages (P15-1, P15-2, P30-1, and P30-2) with different levels of persimmon peel supplementation (15%, 30%) and ensiled periods (1 or 2 months). The cabbage by-products were used to adjust silage moisture (approximately 65%). The quality of the experimental silages was evaluated based on organic acid content, palatability to three Holstein dairy cows, and manufacturing cost. In the corn silage, all chemical compositions, except total digestible nutrients and levels of lactic and butyric acids, were significantly (p<0.05) higher than those of the rice straw silages. However, considering the quality analysis using Flieg's score, the rice straw silage supplemented with 30% persimmon peel ensiled for 2 months (P30-2) was estimated as second grade to corn silage, and was relatively better in palatability to dairy cows than the other rice straw silages, which were considered third grade. The manufacturing cost of rice straw silages using cabbage by-product and persimmon peel compared to that of corn silage was reduced by 28%. Consequently, to prepare rice straw silage adjusted to 65% moisture using only cabbage by-products without inoculant, 30% of persimmon peel, 10% of ground corn, and 2% of molasses as a sugar source should be ensiled for at least 2 months.

As the consumption of corn increases, the production of by-products is also increasing. In this study, functional substances and antioxidant activities of corn by-products were investigated to determine their applicability as functional materials. Total polyphenol, flavonoid contents, and ABTS antioxidant activity were the highest in leaves. The total phenolic acid content was the highest in cobs; p-coumaric and ferulic acid were the main components. Phytosterol content in leaves and stems was high at 64 and 50 days after sowing, 261.4 and 274.7 mg/100 g, respectively. β-sitosterol of the leaves and stems was the highest, 149.2 and 138.7 mg/100 g. The total phytosterol content of grains and by-products harvested 106 days after sowing was in the order of: corn silk, husk, grain, leaf, stem, and cob. Among the phytosterols, β-sitosterol was the highest, followed by stigmasterol and campesterol, and the composition was different depending on part. The total phytosterol content was the highest in husk and corn silk, but the stems and leaves, which account for 50% of the total corn biomass, also contained high phytosterol content. Therefore, corn leaves and stems are expected to be used as functional raw materials for the development of functional materials in the future.

In this study, the growth characteristics of Lentinula edodes were confirmed by bean sprout waste(BW) as an alternative raw material for rice bran. The mycelium growth of Sanjo701, a major cultivation variety of L. edodes, was compared between a medium mixed with 8:2(v/v) of oak sawdust and a medium mixed with BW 50% and BW 100%. The mycelium growth in BW 50% was 13.5 cm. Compared to the control, BW 50% increased the diameter of the pileus by 1.6 cm. Additionally, the length of the pileus decreased by 0.4 cm when comparing the growth of the fruit body. In contrast, at BW 50%, the diameter of the pileus decreased by 9.6 cm and the length of the stipe decreased by 1.4 cm. According to analysis of the constituent amino acids, BW 50% showed a lower overall nutritional content than the control, whereas BW 100% had a lower amino acid content than the control. However, glutamic acid and aspartic acid, which are flavor-enhancing ingredients, were observed at levels of 3.954 mg/g and 1.436 mg/g, respectively, in BW 100%. Therefore, if bean sprout by-products are efficiently processed and utilized, it is believed that they will be beneficial to farmers as a substitute for rice bran and reduce the cost of manufacturing substrate

Food upcycling has emerged as an effective approach to sustainably utilize the food waste generated within the food supply chain. This review article examines upcycled food with respect to its definition, consumers’ knowledge and perception on it, and the process by which by-products from the food supply chain are utilized for the creation of upcycled food products. The definition of upcycled food varied among manufacturers, research institutions, and the Upcycled Food Association, depending on the specific values and objectives of each sector. This has resulted in the use of different keywords to highlight the distinctive characteristics of their respective interpretations of upcycled food. This review also summarizes the various consumer traits that can influence the awareness and acceptance of upcycled food, encompassing functional, empirical and emotional, symbolic and self-expressive, and economic benefits. Additionally, the review presents strategies to utilize by-products produced in large quantities in Korea, while also addressing the control of hazardous components to ensure biological or chemical safety and the changes in nutritional value that may occur during the utilization of these byproducts.

음식물류폐기물 직매립, 해양투기 등이 금지됨에 따라 음식물류폐기물은 대부분 자원화를 통해 처리되며 퇴비화하여 생산한 음식물류혼합퇴비(이 하, 음폐퇴비)는 작물 생산성을 향상 등을 위하여 농경지에 퇴비로 사용한다. 하지만, 염분 집적에 의한 작물 생육이 우려되며 이에 따른 피해를 줄이기 위하여 음폐퇴비와 블랙카본, 유용 미생물을 함께 사용하면 염분에 의한 피해를 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 이에 본 연구는 음폐퇴비와 바이오차의 한 종류인 블랙카본, 유용 미생물을 처리 시 상추의 수량과 토양 특성 변화를 알아보고자 하였다. 처리구는 무비구(NF), 무기질 비료 (NPK), 무기질 비료 + 음폐퇴비 (NPKF, 대조구), 무기질 비료 + 음폐퇴비 + 블랙 카본 (NPKFC), 무기질 비료 + 음폐퇴비 + 미생물 (NPKFB), 무기질 비료 + 음폐퇴비 + 블랙카본 + 미생물 (NPKFCB)이다. 상추 생육 조사 결과, 생육 후기인 21일째에 NPKFCB 처리구에서 엽장 20.7 cm, 엽폭 20.2 cm, SPAD-502 32.0으로 가장 생육이 좋았으며, 수량 조사 결과 또한 NPKFCB 처리구에서 주당 총 엽수가 28.8개로 가장 많았다. 수량지수는 무처리가 84.1로 가장 낮았고 NPKFCB 처리구에서 128.7로 가장 높았다. 이는 블랙카본에서 공급되는 K, P, Ca 등의 양분과 미생물 활성화가 작물 생산성 향상에 도움을 준 것으로 판단된다. 토양 화학성 분석 결과 pH는 NPKFB 처리구에서 6.9로 가장 높았으며, EC는 NPKF에서 1.7 dS m-1로 가장 높았다.

PURPOSES : In this study, high-viscosity grout for increasing ground stiffness is developed using industrial byproducts. METHODS : Based on literature review, the viscosity and viscosity expression time of domestic and foreign anti-washout admixture underwater were evaluated. In addition, grout was prepared by mixing 5% to 40% of fly ash (FA) in a standard mixture. Flow, setting time, and compressive strength tests were conducted to evaluate the quality of the grout. RESULTS : Experimental results show that the viscosity required is 35,000 to 40,000 cps, whereas the viscosity expression time required exceeds 300 min. As the amount of FA used for grouting increases, the physical and mechanical performances deteriorate. The strength of a test specimen manufactured underwater is lower than that of a test specimen manufactured under air, and the decrease on day 28 is lower than that on day 3. The FA applied to the grout should be less than 20%. CONCLUSIONS : Although industrial byproducts, which exhibit high viscosity, offer excellent mechanical performance and are thus suitable as a solidifying agent for strengthening grout, their application in the field must be evaluated.

The effect of permanganate oxidation was investigated as water treatment strategy with a focus on comparing the reaction characteristics of NaOCl and sodium permanganate (NaMnO4) in algae (Monoraphidium sp., Micractinium inermum, Microcystis aeruginosa)-contained water. Flow cytometry explained that chlorine exposure easily damaged algae cells. Damaged algae cells release intracellular organic matter, which increases the concentration of organic matter in the water, which is higher than by NaMnO4. The oxidation reaction resulted in the release of toxin (microcystin-LR, MC-LR) in water, and the reaction of algal organic matter with NaOCl resulted in trihalomethanes (THMs) concentration increase. The oxidation results by NaMnO4 significantly improved the concentration reduction of THMs and MC-LR. Therefore, this study suggests that NaMnO4 is effective as a pre-oxidant for reducing algae damage and byproducts in water treatment process.

This study was carried out to examine the physical characteristics of bacterial cellulose (BC) and its optimal culture condition using coffee by-products. Recently, recycling resources and employing eco-friendly materials have been raised as significant issues in the food industry. As the coffee industry develops, interests and efforts for recycling coffee wastes are also growing. This study attempted to confirm the production of BC by utilizing spent coffee grounds filtrate as a medium. In order to confirm the optimal culture conditions for BC production, different culture methods, initial pH, culture temperature, and culture period were examined. The optimal pH and temperature were 6.0 and 30oC, and the optimal culture period was 14 days. The cultivated BC was dried by hot air drying, freezedrying, and mold drying, respectively. Then, the properties of the BC films, such as tensile strength, elongation, water-solubility, thickness, and chromaticity were compared. The drying method affected the shape and structure of the final BC films. The production of BC film is expected to expand opportunities for recycling coffee by-products and contribute to solving environmental problems caused by food waste.

국내 음식부산물 발생량은 연간 약 500만톤으로 그 중 70 %가량은 퇴비화 또는 사료화로 자원화되고 있다. 최근 비료공정규격상 음식부산물 건조분말(DFP)이 혼합유기질비료 및 유기복합비료의 원료로 사용할 수 있게 되었지만 아직 적정사용기준에 대한 설정이 미흡한 상태이다. 이에 본 연구는 수집 시기별 음식부산물 건조분말의 화학적 특성을 평가하고 음식부산물 건조분말이 혼합된 혼합유기질비료의 사용량에 따른 작물 및 토양화학성 변화에 대해 평가하고자 하였다. 처리구는 무처리(NF), 무기질비료처리구(NPK, N-P2O5-K2O=32-7.8-19.8 kg 10a-1), 음식부산물 건조분말 단독처리구(DFP), 시판혼합유기질비료(MOF), 음식부산물 건조분말 혼합유기질비료 처리구(DFPMOF)이며 DFPMOF 처리구는 100, 200, 400 및 600%로 구분하여 설정하였다. DFP, MOF 및 DFPMOF 처리구는 질소비료 사용량을 기준으로 하여 비료처리를 하여 작물 재배실험을 진행하였다. 음식부산물의 화학적 특성은 시기별에 따라서 유의적인 차이가 없었으며 중금속 함량 또한 기준에 적합한 수준이었다. 배추 생산량은 DFPMOF 처리구가 6,280 kg 10a-1로 NPK처리구(7,000 g kg-1)와 가장 유사하였으며 질소이용효율 또한 유사한 경향이었다. 토양 pH는 DFPMOF 사용량이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향이었으며, EC, OM 및 Ex. K는 DFPMOF 사용량이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향이었다. 이를 통해 DFPMOF 는 질소비료사용량 기준으로 처리하였을 때 가장 적합할것으로 판단되나, 적정사용기준을 설정하기 위해서는 장기간 연용시험을 통한 환경영향평가가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
