  13. Since liquid wastes are currently being collected and treated without respect of their kinds and charateristics, energy is not saved from incineration facility and furthermore, creats environmental problems. In this study, present status of liquid waste generation and treatment is investigated, and thermal decomposition characteristics are studied using a lab-scale thermal reactor. The purpose of this research is to divide liquid wastes into groups, and to present best treatment method for their each group.

  13. The objectives of this project are to use artificial chemical substances, rare earth metals, heavy metals and lead isotopes as tracers to investigate the material cycle in the coastal environments and to develop analytical techniques and monitoring technique. Based on three-dimensional analysis of the tracers, the transition in the flow of substances into the marine environments in recent years and behavior in the environment will be elucidated.
