The method of extimating N2O emissions from wastewater occurring during biological nitrification and denitrification processes can be divided into those before and after legal nitrogen effluent quality enhancement for domestic wastewater treatment plant. Initial IPCC guidelines such as IPCC 1996 GL, GPG 2000, and IPCC 2006 GL, provided methods for estimating N2O emissions throughout domestic wastewater, while the revised version, IPCC 2019 RF, proposed methods for estimating each N2O emission by distinguishing wastewater treatment and effluent after the advancement of wastewater treatment plants. The National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report (NIR) in Korea adopted the methodology of GPG 2000, and the Emissions Trading System (ETS) applies the estimation method of IPCC 2006 GL in the wastewater treatment plants. This study utilized process modeling to consider the process characteristics and operating conditions of wastewater treatment plants. IPCC, NIR, and ETS estimate N2O emissions based on nitrogen behavior activity data and emissions factors. On the other hand, process modeling estimates N2O emissions in each unit process of the wastewater treatment plant using a 4-step AOB nitrification/4-step denitrification model and a liquid/gas transfer model. The estimation results of N2O emissions from modeling method were compared with the estimation results of IPCC, NIR, and ETS to analyze the suitability of the estimation method. Through this, it was evaluated how appropriate process modeling is for estimating N2O emissions in domestic wastewater treatment plants.","PeriodicalId":52756,"journal":{"name":"daehanhwangyeonggonghaghoeji","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42700665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jeon","doi":"10.4491/ksee.2023.45.8.348","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4491/ksee.2023.45.8.348","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose : At the national level, carbon absorption during the carbon neutrality goal plays an important role, and related forestry projects are continuously increasing. Until now, forest carbon absorption has been measured and managed in various ways at the national level, but specific carbon absorption indicators for each local government have not been approached in various ways. Accordingly, the carbon absorption footprint (CAF) was defined, and the carbon absorption amount and carbon absorption rate were calculated and analyzed to compare and analyze the current situation for each region.Method : As for the research method in this study, standard carbon absorption by tree species was matched on the basis of age level per forest area nationwide as of 2020, and the carbon absorption amount of metropolitan governments, the carbon absorption amount of 250 basic local governments, the carbon absorption amount per national land area, And the carbon absorption footprint per forest area was calculated. Afterward, the carbon absorption rate for the national land area and the carbon absorption rate for the forest area of the basic local governments were calculated.Results and Discussions : As a result of the study, the region with the highest amount of carbon absorption was in the order of Gangwon-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and Jeollanam-do, and the lowest carbon absorption was in the order of Gwangju Metropolitan City, Sejong Special Self-Governing City, and Daejeon Metropolitan City. Hongcheon-gun, Inje-gun, and Pyeongchang-gun in Gangwon-do had the highest absorption among basic local governments, followed by Yeongdeungpo-gu in Seoul, Dong-gu in Incheon, and Jung-gu in Busan in order of lowest. Seongbuk-gu, Gwangju-si, and Dong-gu, Daejeon were the basic local governments with a high absorption rate compared to the national land area, followed by Yeongdeungpo-gu, Dong-gu, Incheon, and Seongdong-gu, Seoul, respectively. Lastly, basic local governments with a high carbon absorption rate compared to forest areas were in the order of Seongbuk-gu in Seoul, Ulju-gun in Ulsan, and Hongcheon-gun in Gangwon-do, and Seongdong-gu, Gangdong-gu, and Dongjak-gu in Seoul were in the order of low rates. Overall, a lot of carbon was absorbed in Gangwon-do and Gyeongsangbuk-do, but when approaching the absorption ratio to the national area, on the contrary, Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon showed high absorption rates. The ratio of carbon absorption to forest area was uniform across the country.Results : Based on this study, continuous research is needed to develop a forest creation scenario and achieve more carbon absorption. Since carbon absorption fluctuates greatly depending on forest management, it is considered that it will be an important indicator in terms of strategy presentation in afforestation or sink planning in the future for metropolitan or basic local governments.","PeriodicalId":52756,"journal":{"name":"daehanhwangyeonggonghaghoeji","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42910872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It serves as a case study to provide a quantitative basis for the net-zero water management.Methods : The scope of the study included the centralized local water supply and inter-basin water import system (water abstraction facilities, water treatment plants, pump stations, and water pipelines), wastewater system (wastewater pipelines, pump stations, and wastewater treatment plants, public industrial wastewater treatment plants, on-site wastewater treatment facilities), and circular water use (rainwater harvesting, greywater reuse, and wastewater recycling). This study considered scope 1 emissions, specifically CH4 and N2O emissions generated from wastewater treatment plants, scope 2 emissions from the electricity use during the operation of water infrastructure, and scope 3 emissions associated with the production of water and wastewater pipelines and chemicals. Scope 1 emissions were quantified using both the national guidelines and the 2019 IPCC guideline, and the estimates based on the two methods were compared. Scope 2 and scope 3 emissions were evaluated using life cycle assessment. To quantify GHG emissions for the year 2018, data were collected or estimated from various sources, including public statistics, field interviews, and the literature.Results and Discussion : In 2018, the total GHG emissions from Paju’s water system were 197.4 thousand tons of CO2 eq. Among these emissions, the scope 2 emissions accounted for the largest share, comprising 66.3% of the total. Notably, circular water use, which included wastewater recycling for high-quality industrial uses, accounted for 41.0% of the scope 2 emissions. Scope 1 emissions accounted for 25.5% and scope 3 emissions accounted for 8.2% of the total emissions. However, in the case of scope 1 emissions, the estimates varied significantly by 2.9 to 6.5 times, depending on the calculation methods and emission factors provided by two different guidelines.Conclusion : To achieve carbon neutrality in the water sector of the city of Paju, two approaches are required: enhancing energy efficiency to reduce scope 2 emissions and implementing measures to reduce scope 1 emissions. However, to obtain accurate and reliable estimates of the GHG emissions, it is crucial to develop applicable scope 1 emission factors based on field data. Furthermore, to gain a comprehensive understanding of GHG emissions in the water sector, further studies are necessary to analyze embodied GHG emissions in water infrastructure and GHG emissions associated with the end use of water.","PeriodicalId":52756,"journal":{"name":"daehanhwangyeonggonghaghoeji","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42931131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accordingly, social interest in the recycling and reuse of waste batteries is rapidly increasing. Waste battery recycling refers to the process of reprocessing waste batteries and extracting valuable water for reuse. Reuse of waste batteries refers to the process of using them again for the same purpose after undergoing a slight conversion process. Currently, related technology development is required, and related policies are insufficient. Looking at the global trend, a waste battery collection system is being established through the labeling system and producer responsibility recycling system, battery performance and safety evaluation standards are being established, and efficient and safe transportation systems are being established. Since it is not clear who is responsible for each stage of the problem in the disposal of waste batteries, a history management system is needed. It is important to efficiently extract and recycle waste battery resources, but it is also necessary to develop battery technology free from resource scarcity. In this review, recycling and reuse-related technologies of waste batteries, battery-related policies, and rare metal replacement technologies were explored, and directions for future waste battery policies were presented.","PeriodicalId":52756,"journal":{"name":"daehanhwangyeonggonghaghoeji","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48154160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, it is important to understand the impacts of soil heavy metal contamination from livestock excretion because the excretion has been gradually increasing due to the rapid growth of the livestock industry. In this study, to analyze the characteristics of soil heavy metal contamination in intensive livestock farming watersheds, we selected intensive livestock farming watersheds where livestock heads and amount of livestock excretion by species were spatiotemporally surveyed. We also investigated the characteristics of five soil heavy metals (As, Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn) contamination. The Cheongmi Stream watershed in Anseong, Kyungi-do and Gwangcheon Stream watershed in Hongseong, Chungcheongbuk-do, Korea were one of the most intensive livestock rearing regions where there were very large amounts of livestock excretion. It was also found that Cu and Zn among heavy metals exceeded the soil contamination concern standard at two of the sampling points in the Gwangcheon Stream watershed. Compared to the national soil measurement network data, it was showed that the concentrations of Cd, Cu, and Zn in the intensive livestock farming areas such as both Cheongmi Stream and Gwangcheon Stream watersheds were higher than in other areas. Thus, we suggested that the soil in intensive farming watersheds was contaminated by heavy metals compared to other areas. Therefore, it is necessary to manage not only livestock excretion, but also animals’ welfare, humans, and the environment to use less heavy metals in their feeds. We also believed that various impacts of livestock excretion on the environment need to be studied soon.","PeriodicalId":52756,"journal":{"name":"daehanhwangyeonggonghaghoeji","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46434311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For sample analysis, cations of Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, K⁺, NH₄⁺, Na⁺ and anions of Cl^-, NO₃^-, SO₄^2-, and electrical conductivity were measured after pretreatment by ultrasonic extraction. Results and Discussion:The average concentrations of WSIIs for PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 in Pohang were 12.1μg/m³ and 8.5μg/m³, respectively, accounting for 35.5% and 50.0% of each fine particulate matter. The sum of NH₄⁺, NO₃^-, SO₄^2- concentration was found to account for the majority of 71% and 78% of WSIIs in PM₁₀ and PM_2.5, respectively. The PM_2.5/PM₁₀ ratios for NH₄⁺, K⁺, and SO₄^2- were 95%, 89%, and 81%, respectively, mostly present in PM_2.5. The average ratio of PM_2.5/PM₁₀ for NO₃^- was 54%, but it rose sharply to 79% in November when the temperature was low, indicating an increase in contribution to the generation of PM_2.5 in winter. During the sampling period excluding April and July, the ion balance for cations and anions was relatively good at a 1:1 ratio and showed chemical properties of fine particulate matter close to neutral. A regression model was evaluated for the measured electrical conductivity of WSIIs and the concentration of fine particulate matter. The MAE and RMSE values for PM_2.5 were 1.8μg/m³ and 2.4μg/m³, respectively, which were lower than PM₁₀ (MAE 7.5 μg/m³, RMSE 10.3μg/m³), indicating high precision and accuracy. Conclusion:This study confirmed the origin of fine particulate matter generated in Pohang through WSIIs analysis, and suggested that the measured electrical conductivity of WSIIs could be used as a key parameter for measuring the concentration of fine particulate matter.","PeriodicalId":52756,"journal":{"name":"daehanhwangyeonggonghaghoeji","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41402629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods:The monitoring of water quality was conducted at five processes such as raw water, pre-oxidation, after sedimentation, post-ozonation, after biological activated carbon (BAC) from July 2020 to August 2021 in advanced water treatment process (AWTP) supplying 180,000m3/day. The concentration of DOC (dissolved organic carbon) and number of algae were monitored and LC-OCD was used to fractionate DOC to four species, biopolymer (BP), humic substance (HS), building blocks (BB), and low molecular weights (LMWs). Results and Discussion:The characteristics of raw water showed that the concentration of DOC and the number of algae increased with an increase in water temperature. The portion of BP and HS significantly increased at low and high water temperature, respectively, while BB and LMWs maintained the similar portion. The removal efficiency of DOC in the AWTP was achieved at 59% with each species of BP, HS, BB, and LMWs obtaining removal efficiency of 87%, 65%, 26%, and 52%, respectively. Coagulation/sedimentation/filtration showed removal efficiency of 84%, 56%, 20%, and 18% for BP, HS, BB, and LMWs, respectively, corresponding to their molecular weight. The effect of post-ozonation would be negligible except for BP. In BAC, removal efficiency of 49% and 12% were obtained for LMWs and BB (low molecular weight, respectively. As a result, the BP portion significantly decreased due to high removal efficiency, while BB portion was increased in the final treated water compared to raw water. Conclusion:Most of DOM was removed in coagulation/sedimentation/filtration and BAC, whereas oxidation process such as pre-chlorination, pre-ozonation and post-oxidation did not have an effect on DOM removal. In coagulation/sedimentation/filtration, 84% and 54% of the BP and HS were removed, while BAC removed 49% and 12% of LMWs and BB, respectively. It has been recommended to improve the removal efficiency of BB, which obtained the lowest removal efficiency in AWTP, and to enhance the removal efficiency of LMWs in BAC to inhibit microbial regrowth in the distribution system.","PeriodicalId":52756,"journal":{"name":"daehanhwangyeonggonghaghoeji","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47518199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, consumers are confused by the claim that veganism consumption is not environmentally friendly, contrary to consumers' perception of animal protection and environmental protection. Vegan leather, which appeared as an alternative to natural leather, emits harmful substances during the manufacturing and disposal process, is less durable than natural leather, and has a shorter lifespan, resulting in a problem of fast fashion. Substitute meat is emerging as a food of the future due to environmental problems caused by raising livestock. However, considerable carbon is generated during the production of substitute meat, and there is a problem in verifying the safety of fiber materials such as various additives used during the production process. In the case of vegan cosmetics, they use only eco-friendly ingredients derived from nature instead of animal ingredients and do not test on animals, so the impact on the environment is minimal. Overall, bigonomics products generate relatively less environmental pollutants and cause less environmental pollution, but there are still limitations to be overcome. It is thought that the limitations of bigonomics can be overcome through social collective practice such as education and investment in parallel with individual practice in daily life. Furthermore, I think that if there is a correct understanding of vegannomics and communication about its value, the vegan industry will be able to take its place as a major industry in society. In this review, the current status of bigonomics in the food, cosmetics, and fashion industries, which are being developed by consumers' ethical consumption, is reviewed and prospects are presented. This review will help set the direction in each industry pursuing vigenomics.","PeriodicalId":52756,"journal":{"name":"daehanhwangyeonggonghaghoeji","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48392831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For Euler graph and non-Euler graph water supply networks, each total pipe length, number of removal pipes, pressure head and flow rate were simulated with EPANET2 program.Results and Discussion : As a result of simplifying and designing new output networks for virtual Euler and non-Euler graph, it was revealed that the concept of ‘removing a 3-intersection nodes’ could be the most efficient by removing more pipes. However, in terms of configuring the output network as an Euler graph, the concept of ‘removing odd nodes’ can be considered more reasonable.Conclusion : It is difficult to configuring watersupply network as a perfect Euler graph. Therefore, the application of the concept of removing odd nodes suggested in this study can promote efficient simplification of the network.
