Oysters are the most widely produced shellfish culture in Korea and 90% of their weight. Main component of oyster shell is CaCO3 and an appropriate calcination temperature was derived using thermo-gravimetric analysis. The difference in components for each calcination temperature was confirmed and the adsorbent was manufactured by activation. The oyster shell adsorbent surface area was 5.72m2/g with pores in the mesopore range. The adsorption amount was 37.44 mg/g. Therefore, the possibility of using oyster shell as an adsorbent was confirmed.

This laboratory study was conducted to evaluate the effects of oyster shell by-product (OSB) on the characteristics of Hanwoo cow manure and emitted gases. For the treated groups, 0.5% and 1% OSB were applied to 200 g of Hanwoo cow manure in a container box with three replications each per group with a group without OSB (0%) as a control group. All samples were stored at room temperature to analyze pH, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), volatile fatty acid (VFA), and gas emissions (NH3 and H2S) from Hanwoo manure on 0, 2, 4, and 8 days. No group exhibited a significant (p>0.05) effect on VBN, acetate, and propionate values during the 8 days. On day 0, pH increased by 1% OSB application, but no effects on the other days. Iso-butyrate concentration increased (p<0.05) on day 0 by OSB application, but deceased (p<0.05) on day 8. The NH3 gas emission on day 2 decreased (p<0.05) in all treatments applied OSB. However, either NH3 or H2S gases in all treatments were below 0.25 ppm on days 4 and 8, which were no differences (p>0.05) among treatments. Thus, this lab study indicated that the inclusion of OSB application in Hanwoo cow manure had a beneficial effect on NH3 gas emission, but no longer than for 2 days.

굴 패각을 입경(0 ~ 1, 1 ~ 2, 2 ~ 5 mm) 및 소성온도(400(P400), 500(P500), 600(P600), 800(P800)℃)별로 전처리 한 후, 퇴적물과 혼합 된 실내실험을 통해 퇴적물의 성상변화를 조사하였다. 굴 패각의 주요 성분인 CaCO3는 700℃ 이상의 소성 온도에서 열분해 되어 CaO로 변화하는 것으로 나타났다. P800의 Ca2+ 농도는 약 790 mg/L로 대조구 및 다른 실험구들에 비해 약 2 ~ 3배 높게 나타나 고온 소성 된 굴 패각일수록 용출되는 Ca2+는 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 600℃ 이상의 온도에서 소성된 굴 패각에서는 CaCO3의 열분해로 형성된 CaO의 가수분해를 통해 간극수 내의 pH가 0.1 ~ 0.5 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 간극수 내의 NH3-N은 대조구보다 약 2.2 ~ 7.6 mg/L의 범위로 증가하였으며, 이는 가수분해 과정에서 발생한 열, Ca2+에 의한 미생물 활동 억제, 소성 과정에서 증가한 굴 패각 공극을 통한 산소 공급 등이 복합적으로 작용한 결과로 판단된다. P600 및 P800의 직상수 및 간극수 내의 PO4-P 농도는 대조구보다 약 0.1 ~ 0.2 mg/L 낮게 나타났으며 이는 소성 굴 패각으로 인한 pH 증가 및 PO4-P와의 화학적 반응으로 판단된다. 이상의 결과를 통해 소성 온도에 따라 굴 패각은 퇴적물 내의 NH3-N 및 PO4-P의 농도변화에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었으나, 입경에 의한 영향은 크지 않은 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 소성 굴 패각을 낮은 오염도의 연안 저서환경을 개선시키기 위한 기초자료로 활용 될 수 있을 것을 판단된다.

Oysters are the most abundantly harvested type of shellfish in Korea. As export of this marine product increases, oysters have greatly contributed to an increase in fishing income. As the oyster aquaculture industry has rapidly grown since the late 1990s, issues of oyster-shell processing that occur in production processes have re-emerged as important topics in the oyster industry. The amount of oyster shells harvested in 2019 is estimated to be approximately 300,000 tons. With reductions in demand for pyrolytic fertilizer and feed, which are currently the greatest sources of demand, unprocessed shell quantities have doubled compared to 2018, causing them to be an issue once more. Such oyster-shell processing also incurs great costs, and a total of forty-six billion three hundred fifty million Korean won (46,350,000,000 KRW) has been provided from 2009 to 2020 for the use of oyster shells as a resource. According to current Korean laws, oyster shells are considered to be industrial waste if more than 300 kilograms are sent out in a day. Collection and processing must be conducted by a waste-consignment company. Consequently, there are many limitations to the use of oyster shells in Korea as a resource. However, in Japan, only oyster-shell waste is regulated by waste-processing As a result, local governments may apply exceptions when utilized as organic matter. Consequently, in Japan, oyster shells are being used as resources in more diverse fields than in Korea. This study observes the conditions and problems of oyster-shell processing in Korea and attempts to find new domestic oyster-shell resource solutions in light of Japan’s recycling practices.

Calcium is widely used for calcium supplement, additives. In the case of oyster shell which is intaked for calcium supplement have caused serious problems including environmental pollution because almost of it is thrown out so that is demanded expanding of using. However, there is no examples that develop a high value product available for food industry from oyster shell. In advanced research, It is confirmed that fired oyster shell has Anti-microbial effect and therefore, this study apply the anti-microbial effect of fired oyster shell to rice cake. Control is made by rice flour 300g, water 150mL. Experimental group are made by rice flour 300g, water150mL and Sample A (fired oyster shell), Sample B (fibrous calcium carbonate), Sample C (calcium + citric acid) and Sample D (coral calcium) 0.5wt% respectively. Texture properties are measured by texture analyzer (TA-XT, MHK corp. Korea) 5kg load cell. Rice cake added sample A, B, C had anti-microbial effect and rice cake added sample D had not anti-microbial effect.

A huge amount of waste oyster shells are being produced in the southern coast of South Korea. In order to find the possibility to recycle the waste as construction materials, mechanical characteristics of oyster-shell such as compressive strength and modulus of elasticity, were investigated. Compressive strength tests for mortar specimen with varying blending ratio of cement, water, fine aggregate, and oyster-shell were compared with normal cement mortar. There was continuous decreasing tendency in compressive strength as increasing dosages of oyster-shell when used as a replacement of cement, however strength and stiffness were increased around 10% of dosages of oyster-shell when used as a replacement of fine aggregate. The experiment results demonstrate that oyster-shells can be recycled and effective in replacement of not only cement but also fine aggregates.

Waste oyster shells create several serious problems; however, only some parts of them are being utilized currently. The ideal solution would be to convert the waste shells into a product that is both environmentally beneficial and economically viable. An experimental study is carried out to investigate the recycling possibilities for oyster shell waste. Bulk ceramic bodies are produced from the oyster shell powder in three sequential processes. First, the shell powder is calcined to form calcium oxide CaO, which is then slaked by a slaking reaction with water to produce calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2. Then, calcium hydroxide powder is formed by uniaxial pressing. Finally, the calcium hydroxide compact is reconverted to calcium carbonate via a carbonation reaction with carbon dioxide released from the shell powder bed during firing at 550oC. The bulk body obtained from waste oyster shells could be utilized as a marine structural porous material.

본 연구는 소형화된 홀 소자를 이용하여 국내 패류 양식 생물 중 가장 많은 생산량을 보이는 참 굴(Crassostrea gigas)의 패각운동을 기초로, 연안역에서 빈산소에 대한 생물모니터링 시스템의 적 용 가능성을 조사하였다. 정상상태 패각운동의 측정을 위해서 여과해수에서 측정한 결과, 참굴 개 체는 평균 5~12 mm 정도의 개각상태를 유지하였으며, 패각운동 시 비교적 빠른 폐각상태를 보 였다가 느린 속도의 개각상태의 운동이 관찰되었다. 하지만, 주 · 야간 사이에는 큰 차이가 없었다 (p <0.05). 용존산소 농도를 7 mg l-1에서 3 mg l-1까지 감소시키면, 패각운동의 횟수는 증가를 나 타내었으며, 파형도 정상상태와 다르게 불안정한 파형을 보였다. 또한 용존산소가 2 mg l-1로 감 소된 후에는 패각운동의 크기가 점차 작아지거나, 폐각상태를 지시하는 파형이 관찰되었다. 이와 같은 생물모니터링 시스템을 패류 양식에 활용하여 빈산소와 같은 해양환경의 이상변동을 신속히 감지할 수 있다면, 어업피해를 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

이 연구의 목적은 버려진 굴 패각을 재활용하여 감소시키는 것으로 굴 패각과 해조펄프를 이용하여 식품의 보존에 대한 항산화비드를 활용하는데 있다. 이 연구는 두 부분으로 나누었다. 첫 번째는 파일럿 규격조건으로 설계하고 제조하였다. 둘째는 [A],[B],[C-a],[C-b]화합물에 대한 최적제조 조건을 다루어 확립하고 이들 생성물을 분석하였다. 파일럿 규격 제조는 해조펄프의 분자수식합성과/Cl-전분 그리고 그의 다양한 비드 형태들이 극성용매에서 다양한 중량비율로 액상 혼합하여 제조되었다. 부가적으로, 혼합과정에서 해조펄프의 비율이 증가함으로서, 해조펄프/Ag-굴 패각을 섞인 것의 항균성은 감소되었으나 항산화와 비드의 견고성 성질은 증가되었다. 파일럿 규격의 생성라인은 해조 펄프와 Cl-전분을 분자수식으로 합성하였다. 그리고 극성용매를 사용하여 여러 가지 중량비율로 다양한 형태의 비드를 제조하였다.

본 연구는 수산 폐기물인 굴패각을 공조시스템의 수분 흡착제로 사용하기 위한 가능성을 실험을 통해 살펴본 기초적인 연구이다. 연구의 주된 목적은 굴패각의 제습성능과 열전소자의 냉각효과를 파악하는 것이며 본 연구를 통해 굴패각은 공조시스템 내에서 사용가능한 수분 흡착제로서의 성능을 충분히 가지고 있으며, 또한 냉각효과를 통해 흡착성능을 크게 향상시킬 수 있다는 것을 알았다. 본 시스템은 신재생에너지인 태양광을 이용하기 때문에 시스템의 구동에 필요한 다른 전원은 필요 없어 환경적으로도 매우 바람직한 연구이다.

본 연구는 굴 껍데기로 제조한 개미산 칼슘화합물에 몇 가지 활성제를 첨가한 용액 수관살포가 사과 '후지' 과실의 칼슘농도, 과점의 발육 및 품질에 미치는 영향을 구명코자 실시하였다. 굴 껍데기로부터 추출한 칼슘 화합물(Os-CaF, 52.4mg·kg-1)을 수관살포하였을 때 조직으로의 칼슘전이 효과는 무처리에 비하여 잎, 과피 및 과육에서 현저한 증가를 보였다. 그리고 Os-CaF에 활성제를 첨가하여 살포하였을 때 '후지' 과실의 칼슘함량은 증가되었다. 특히, 잎에서는 ascorbic acid, polyvinyl alcohol을, 과피에서는 Ag-colloidal, polyvinyl alcohol을, 과육에서는 ascorbic acid, Ag-colloidal, polyvinyl alcohol을 첨가한 칼슘화합물이 칼슘 흡수량을 현저히 증가시켰다. 칼슘화합물의 농도 및 활성제 종류에 따른 과실품질(과중, 경도, 가용성고형물, 산 함량, 과피색)은 차이가 없었다.

To improve the environmental management and resources, in this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of adding oyster shell powder to Hanwoo manure on its characteristics and microbial composition during the storage period. Additives were deposited on top of the manure surface at the rate of 0, 0.5, and 1% of oyster shell powder per 200 g of Hanwoo manure in a plastic container with three replicates; however, untreated manure litter served as the control. Manure characteristics (dry matter, organic matter and crude ash) and microbial composition (lactic acid bacteria, yeast, Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella, and E.coli) were evaluated at day 0, 2, 4, and 8. Manure characteristics exhibited an effect on dry matter, organic matter, and crude ash at day 2 and 8 (p<0.05), and not for day 0 and 4 (p>0.05). With the exception of yeast content at day 4 of storage, lactic acid bacteria, yeast, Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella, and E.coli exhibited no significant differences in all conditions during the storage period. Conclusively, addition of 1% oyster shell powder to Hanwoo manure resulted in slightly better manure characteristics; however, its microbial composition remained unchanged.
