초록
폐윤활유는 세멘트 킬른과 화력발전소의 직접 연료로 사용하여 에너지원으로 재활용하거나 정제 과정을 거쳐 연료유 또는 재생 윤활기유로 재활용 되고 있다. 우리나라는 주로 이온처리 공정을 활용하여 폐윤활유를 저급 연료유로 재활용하고 있고 2003년도 예치금제에서 생산자 책임재활용제도를 도입하여 폐윤활유의 재활용을 촉진하고 있다. 그러나 지난 5년간 재활용율은 70% 이내로 정체되고 있고 아직까지 선진국에서 추구하고 있는 재생 윤활기유로의 재활용기술 개발연구도 전혀 없는 실정이다. 이에 비하여 일부 선진 국가에서는 근래에 폐윤활유의 열분해 생성유 중의 타르 및 악취의 발생을 대폭 감소 시키고 색도를 향상시켜 고급연료유를 생산하는 안정화 기술과 폐윤활유로부터 고급 재생 윤활기유를 생산하는 새로운 공정을 개발하여 상용화하였다. 또한 호주, 이태리, 독일, 미국 등 몇몇 국가에서는 폐윤활유를 재생윤활기유로 재활용하였을 경우 훨씬 많은 보조금을 지급하거나 국가나 지방 정부에서 재생 윤활유를 우선적으로 구매하도록 하고 소지바로 하여금 재생 윤활유를 사용하도록 권장하는 정책을 채택하고 있다. 이렇게 선진국에서는 점차적으로 고갈되는 석유자원의 절약과 환경오염을 저감시키는 폐윤활유를 윤활기유로 재활용하는 정책을 채택하고 있어 우리나라에서도 지속가능한 개발을 위한 새로운 윤활유 재활용정책을 수립하여야할 시점에 있다고 판단된다.
Waste lubricating oil(WLO)s have been recycled as energy source through direct fuel in cement kilns and fossil power plants, or as fuel oils, or re-refined lubricating base oils. In our country, they have been recycled as low grade fuel oil through chemical treatment process. In 2003, extended producer responsibility (EPR) system was adopted from deposit system on sale of lubricating oils in order to promote their recycleing rate. However, our recycling rate of WLOs have been stagnant(below 70%) for last 5 years. And there has been no research work on recycing of WLOs as re-refinde base oil until now in this country. Stabilization technology of thermally cracked oils to reduce tar and malodor and to improve their color for production of high grade fuel oil, and a novel process production of high grade re-refined lubricating base oil from WLOs have been developed and commercialized recently in Canada and U.S.A., respectively. Several countries like Australia, Italy, Germany and U.S.A., etc. are encouraging recycling companies to recycle WLOs as re-refined lubricating oil by giving greater subsidies or benefits compared to other recycling methods. They also adopt a policy to purchase re-refined lubricating oil preferentially in the federal or local governments and to recommend consumers to purchase it willingly. Based on the facts that several advanced countries have adopted a policy to recycle WLOs as re-refined base oil for saving of petroleum resource and redrction of environmental pollution, it is right time to be considered that our present policy for recycling of WLOs should be reevaluated and the new policy of their environmental-friendly and sustainable recycling should be established.
