Abstract

In Korea, the amounts of asbestos-containing waste are about 300,000 tons to 700,000 tons by yeardue to the disposal of asbestos-containing product and it is expected to create a asbestos treatment market of75 billion won to 175 billion won. Also, government budget of 505.2 billion won goes into the 190,000 unitsof time-worn slate treatment project until 2021 and it would develop the asbestos treatment market.Asbestos-containing waste has been mainly disposed by landfill at the designated landfill due to the low cost,but the landfill capacity is reaching saturation also, the processes of the landfill has potential risk to be exposedto external environment. Accordingly, the low cost of asbestos detoxification techniques at competitive pricesfrom asbestos treatment market has been developed. These asbestos detoxification techniques seem to be analternative to treatment of asbestos-containing waste as a safe and low cost manner than the processes of thelandfill.

Economic feasibility

국내 석면함유 제품의 폐기로 인해 발생하는 석면함유 폐기물량은 연간 30만 톤∼70만 톤 규모로발생하고 있으며 이로 인해 연간 750억원∼1,750억원의 석면 처리시장이 형성될 것으로 예측된다. 또한, 정부정책에 따라 2021년까지 19만동의 노후 슬레이트 처리 사업에 5,052억원이 투입됨으로써 추가적인 석면 처리시장이 형성될 전망이다. 현재 석면함유 폐기물 처리는 저비용의 직매립 방식으로 대부분 지정폐기물 매립장에매립 처리되고 있으나 매립용량이 포화상태에 이르고 있고 매립한다고 하여도 추후 외부환경으로 다시 노출될잠재적인 가능성이 있다. 이에 따라 석면처리시장에서 가격경쟁력을 갖춘 저비용의 석면 무해화 처리 기술이개발되고 있다. 이러한 석면 무해화 기술이 직매립 방식의 처리보다 안전하고 저비용으로 석면함유 폐기물을처리할 수 있는 대안이 될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.
