본 연구는 작업효율 향상 및 에너지 이용효율 향상을 위하여 고밀식 재배가 가능한 순환형 재배장치를 개발하기 위하여 수행되었다. 본 시스템은 길이방향 이송장치, 측면이송장치, 10개의 재배베드부, 양액공급부, 제어부로 구성되어있다. 화경장과 그림자 길이를 고려하여 베드 거리를 60 cm로 설치하였을 경우 재배주수는 약 20~22 주/m2 로서 관행 고설재배에 비하여 2.1배 많은 수확이 가능할 것으로 조사되었다. 재배베드부를 견인할 때 최대견인력은 길이방향 이송이 시작되는 구간에서 가장 높았다. 고안한 시스템에 대한 설계 중량을 이용하여 길이방향 이송을 위한 작동기의 용량을 계산한 결과 0.83Nm이상의 토크를 가진 것이어야 할 것으로 조사되었다. 10개의 재배조 모두에 대해 수확이나 관리작업을 수행할 경우 소요되는 소비전력량은 41.1 Wh 이었다. 재배베드의 진동각은 측면 이송장치의에서 이동할 때 최대 5.26°로 가장 높은 것으로 조사되었다.

In this study, the amount of harmful fungi and bacteria contained in the drainage and culture medium from the paprika hydroponic facility is identified. In addition, by proposing the necessity of effective purification of discharged drainage, this study attempted to confirm the possibility of drainage reuse. Finally, this study provides basic data on the basis for calculating the need for purification facilities in the future, as well as improvements in horticulture facility for sustainable agriculture. As a result of the analysis, a total of 12 types of fungi were detected in paprika medium and 10 types of fungi were detected in the drainage, and their densities were 130 and 68, respectively. Among the fungi detected in the media and drainage of the paprika hydroponic facility, the fungi with the highest detection frequency are Fusarium, Phytophthora, and Pythium. In the case of bacteria, a total of 2 types of bacteria were detected in the paprika facilities, and the density was 28 and 23, respectively. Therefore, in order to reuse the drainage and settle the circulating hydroponic cultivation system, a water treatment process capable of appropriate treatment is required.

By the end of 2012, the recycled proportion of domestic waste tires was 287,330 ton (93.9%) of the amount of waste tires discharged (305,877 ton). The waste tires have been reused for heat supply, material recycling and other purposes; the proportions are 50.1%, 20.7% and 23.1%, respectively. In the case of heat supply, waste tires are supplied to cement kiln (104,105 ton, 68%), RDF manufacture facilities (47,530 ton, 31%) and incinerators (1,923 ton, 1%). Recently, there has been an increase in the use of waste tires at power generation facilities as an auxiliary fuel. Thus, physico-chemical analysis, such as proximate analysis, elemental analysis and calorific value analysis have been carried out to evaluate potential of waste tires as an auxiliary fuel in Korea. The LHV (Lower Heating Value) of waste tires is approximately 20% higher than that of coal, at an average of 8,489 kcal/kg (7,684 ~ 10,040 kcal/kg). Meanwhile, the sulfur content is approximately 1.5wt. %, and balance of plant (e.g. pipe line, boiler tube, etc.) may be corroded by the sulfur. However, this can be prevented by construction and supplementation with refractories. In this study, TDF (Tire Derived Fuel) produced from waste tires was co-combusted with coal, and applied to the CFB (Circulating Fluidized Bed) boiler, a commercial plant of 100 tons/day in Korea. It was combined with coal, ranging from 0 to 20wt. %. In order to determine the effect on human health and the environment, gas emission such as dioxin, NOx, SOx and so on, were continuously analyzed and monitored as well as the oxygen and carbon monoxide levels to check operational issues.
