Controlling fashion waste throughout the entire product lifecycle is critical in a circular economy. This study explored the possibility of establishing a public recycling system for fashion waste. Since consumer interests and participation are essential, theoretical research, social-text analysis, and quantitative research were conducted to identify consumers’ perceptions of the public recycling of fashion waste and circular fashion. Data were collected via an online survey among women in their 20–30’s living in Korea, and 304 samples were used for data analysis. The results were as follows. First, consumers’ perceptions of recycling fashion waste were composed of recycling difficulty, the need for public recycling, and the need for EPR. Circular fashion perception comprised favor, environment protection, attractiveness, economics, quality and hygiene risks, and lack of diversity. Second, the reuse-recycle attitude and need for EPR affected the favor of all types of circular fashion products. Third, environmental concerns impacted attractiveness, and the favor significantly affected the purchase intention of all types of circular fashion products. In particular, quality and hygiene risk negatively affected the purchase intention of used-fashion products, while attractiveness positively impacted the purchase intention of upcycled-fashion products. The results implied that discussing the public recycling system of fashion waste and EPR policy is imperative. The results also showed the need to classify different types of circular fashion products, such as used, upcycled, and regenerated fashion items, to examine consumers’ perceptions. In addition, the recycling of the fashion waste scale developed in this study could be used for further research.

As water resources are limited and legal regulations are strengthened, there is a growing need to reuse residuals in WTP(Water Treatment Plant). In this study, membrane filtration system was constructed and its operation method was studied for water quality stabilization and reuse of WTP residuals. The operation parameters were stable for 1 year and 6 months. Membrane fouling was identified as particulate pollution (activated carbon) and inorganic pollution (manganese). The membrane system was operated steadily with raw water of high concentration SS(Suspended solid) containing activated carbon because membrane fouling was reduced by the effect of End-Free type. In the case of inorganic contamination, dissolved manganese eluted by chemicals and acted as a membrane fouling source, and the operating conditions for minimizing membrane fouling were confirmed by newly developing application methods and types of cleaning chemicals. Based on the results, design parameters for reducing manganese membrane fouling were derived.

연구에서는 펄프공정으로부터 배출되는 리그닌 추출물 내의 금속이온분리를 위한 연구를 진행하였다. α- Alumina 분말에 DMAc (N,N-dimethylacetamide) 용매와 PESf (Polyethersulfone) 고분자를 혼합하고 PVP (Polyvinylpyrrolidone) 분산제를 첨가하여 슬립 캐스팅 방법으로 분리막을 제조하였다. 분리막은 CFP (Capillary Flow Porometer) 장치 를 통해 기공크기를 측정하고 FE-SEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope) 장치를 이용하여 실제 분리막 표면과 단면을 관찰하였다. 플럭스는 분리 실험장치를 이용하여 시간당 여과된 무게를 측정하여 계산하였다. 기공크기측정은 0 psi에 서 30 psi까지 서서히 증가하는 승압조건에서 진행하였다. 분리막의 기공크기는 0.4 μm 크기를 가지며 플럭스는 분리막의 파 울링에 의해 초기 플럭스 값인 6.36 kg⋅m-2⋅h-1에서 1.98 kg⋅m-2⋅h-1으로 감소하여 3시간 이후부터 일정해지는 것을 확인 하였다. 투과 실험 후 막 오염물질은 간단한 세척을 통해 제거 가능하였다. 분리실험을 통해 초기 리그닌 추출물 내에 포함되 어 있던 Na은 69%만큼 줄었고, Fe은 87%, K은 95%, Ca은 93%, Mg은 96%만큼 제거됨을 보였다

비용매 유도 상분리(NIPS) 법으로 제조된 폴리이미드 전구체를 이용하여 탄소분자체 중공사 분리막을 제조하였 으며, 온도변화에 따른 열처리 조건이 탄소분자체 중공사막의 기체 분리 특성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 열처리 온도 250~ 450°C에서 승온 속도, 안정화 시간을 조정하여 최적화 하였을 때, 중공사 분리막의 단일기체 N2, SF6, CF4 투과도는 각각 20, 0.32, 0.48 GPU이었고, N2/SF6 선택도는 62, N2/CF4 선택도는 42로 가장 높은 값을 나타내었다. SF6/CF4/N2 혼합기체 평가 에서는 0.5 MPa에서 stage cut이 0.2일 때, SF6, CF4 회수율이 각각 99, 98% 이상으로 높게 나타났고, 농축농도는 stage cut 0.8에서 주입농도의 4.5배 이상이었다. 이로부터 제조된 탄소분자체 중공사 분리막은 불화가스 회수용 분리막으로써 우수한 소재임을 확인할 수 있었다.

The objective of this study was to determine how feeding forage and concentrate separately (SF) or as a total mixed ration (TMR) affects enteric methane production of cattle. Six Holstein steers (203 ± 22.5 kg) were used in a 2 × 3 changeover design experiment. Experimental diets (TMR and SF) consisted of compound feed, timothy hay and soybean curd residue in a ratio of 40:48:12, respectively, and diets were fed at 10% of metabolic body weight, on an as-fed basis. There were no differences in dry matter intake and enteric methane production (g/d) between SF and TMR but the methane conversion rate (methane energy/GE intake) of TMR was significantly higher (p=0.05) than that of SF. The mean methane emission factor (kg/head/year) and conversion rate of the two treatments were 21.4 and 0.05, respectively. There was a strong relationship between metabolic body weight and enteric methane production (p<0.001). At the present time, further studies may be necessary in order to establish the effects of TMR and SF on enteric methane production.

반도체 공정에서 에칭공정은 실리콘 기판위에 패턴된 절연층을 식각하는 공정으로 분진과 미반응 가스를 배출하며, 다량의 질소와 혼합되어 실질적으로 수 ppm으로 배출되어, 주로 Scrubber를 통하여 후처리가 수행되고 있으나, 처리효율이 저하되는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 막분리 공정을 통하여 질소와 PFCs를 분리회수하는 통합시스템을 개발하여, PFCs 가스 분리,회수에 대한 평가를 수행하였으며, 회수율 95%, 농축비 1을 나타내었다.

In order to describe the performance of a wedge type jellyfish excluder device, a series of fishing experiments was carried out in the coastal areas of Yokji Island, southern Korea in 2009, using a trawl net with a cover net. The body size and weight of each individual (fish or jellyfish) caught in the experimental fishing were measured. In the case of giant jellyfish the bell diameter and weight were measured. The catch species was composed of giant jellyfish (Nemopilema nomurai), silver croaker (Pennahia argentata), yellow croaker (Larimichthys polyactics), finespotted flounder (Pleuronichthys cornutus), largehead hairtail (Trichiuruslepturus), melon seed (Psenopsisanomala) and so on. The weight ratio and individual ratio of total fish escaped through the outlet of the excluder device were 0.322 and 0.320, respectively. The weight ratios of giant jellyfish excluded from the trawl net ranged from 0.740 to 0.921 (average 0.852/haul). It means that the wedge type jellyfish excluder device performed well and allowed the most of the giant jellyfish to exclude through the trawl net. The approximately 70% of fish entered in trawl net was caught. The wedge type excluder device needs some improvements to minimize the fish escape from the trawl nets in the future.

The purpose of this study is to develop the jellyfish separator system(JSS) for reducing fishery damage by the increase of jellyfish in the sea area of Korea in summer. First of all, to find the optimum structure of a JSS, six types of JSS in trawl fishery were designed and manufactured, the underwater shape of JSS and the separating process by JSS were observed in the circulating water channel(CWC). And the field experiments were carried out in July and September 2004 in the southern sea of Korea. For the moving path of the jellyfish model in the CWC, in case that the model was larger than the mesh size of the separator net, it was guided toward the lower part of the separator net by the guiding net and discharged through the outlet. In case that the model was smaller than the mesh size of the separator net, some models which passed through the upper part of the guiding net were smaller than the mesh size of the guiding net and discharged through the outlet and most of the model which passed through the lower part of the guiding net moved to the codend passing through the separator net. According to the field experiment result, the optimum tilt angle of separator net was inferred 20˚ that the discharge rate of jellyfish was higher than the other tilt angle of separator net and the optimum structure of JSS was inferred GS type(consists of guiding net and separator net) that the discharge rate of jellyfish was higher than S type(consists of separator net). It was demamded to carry out more study for the countermeasure to reduce loss of fish.

In this research, food waste source reduction model for apartment was investigated. In spite of prohibition of direct landfill of food waste and continuous efforts made by government and local government, food waste production increases steadily. Recycling ratio of the food waste increases every year, but its products have many problems like low quality, stability, salt, odor etc. Household occupies 63.3% of whole food waste production and this is subject to be a key factor to control food waste. We surveyed S apartment in Kwangju city as a model case, in which administrative office and women's association adopted clean plate eating, separation of raw food waste and earth worm composting as a series of method for source reduction and recycling inside the apartment. With the help of residents' participation and practice, food waste production decreased 15.6% from 0.31 g/capita/day in 2007 to 0.26 g/capita/day in 2009 (domestic average 0.30 g/capita/day). Separation of raw food waste and its composting using earth worm were very effective, and were subject to resolve the problems of present food waste treatment technologies. And earth worm composting was very useful in environmental, economical, societal and educational aspects. Instead of economical incentive, educational programs about food value, environmental problem and critical method for food waste separation were more effective for promotion of source reduction. From the analyses on the process and success factors in this model, we could conclude that leader's role was one of the key factors for the settlement of source reduction, and that was to understand the seriousness of the food waste and to seek solution, to test techniques, and to practice by oneself. Furthermore, networking and collaboration among residents, local government, NGO and local press promoted residents' participation, and it was through various education and investigation. Finally, source reduction and self recycling model of food waste in the apartment, that applies separating raw food waste and earth worm composting based on the collaboration among residents, local government, NGO, and local press, should be disseminated, and environmental policy also should be changed to make it possible.
