The purpose of this research was to describe the mechanisms and prevention of initial degradation in turbidity of the sand filter effluent. The method used was by adding a coagulant (PAC) to the sand filter after backwashing as a means of reducing turbidity. It was found that adding 80 mg/L of PAC solution to the sand filter was very effective in improving the initial effluent turbidity. A turbidity removal efficiency of 99 % was observed in the initial term period as compared to a 70% efficiency without PAC addition. The PAC solution added to the sand filter resulted in high aluminum concentration at the upper layer as compared with the bottom layer of the sand filter column. A change in the zeta potential to a strong positive-ions at upper layer was observed at this time but only a small change was obtained at the bottom. This result showed that the zeta potential of the sand was changed to positive with PAC coating. The effect of pH on zeta potential with PAC addition was also investigated. Zeta potential was greatly changed to positive-ion at pH 4~6. A series of experiments was then conducted in this study to optimize the pH of the PAC solution to be added to the sand filter after backwashing. The removal efficiency of turbidity was found to be highest at pH 5. This result suggested that hydrolyzed aluminium species attached to the surface of the sand enhanced the removal of turbidity of the effluent.

점증하는 적조로부터 수산피해를 줄이는 것은 시급한 문제이다. 황토를 살포하여 적조생물입자를 응집 제거하는 것이 하나의 방법이 되고 있다. 황토를 이용하여 적조생물입자에 대한 응집실험을 한 결과는 다음과 같다. 본 실험에 사용한 황토입자의 입도 분포는 정규분포를 보여주는 하나의 peak로 나타났으며, 입자의 평균 지름은 $25.0 {\mu}m$이고, 약$84.5{\%}$의 황토입자가 $9.8-55.0{\mu}m$의 범위에 속하며 변동계수는 $65.1{\%}$이었다. 황토의 금속성분을 분석한 결과는 규소 (Si)가 $48{\%}$, 알루미늄 (Al)이 $35{\%}$, 철 (Fe)이 $11{\%}$로서 $94{\%}$를 차지하며 나머지 $48{\%}$는 칼릅 (K), 구리 (Cu), 아연 (Zn), 티타늄 (Ti) 등으로 구성되어 있었다. 전자현미경 사진에 나타난 황토입자의 표면은 거칠고 다공질이며 부정형의 입자로 되어 있었다. 황토입자는 $10^(-3)M$ NaCl의 수용액 중에서 pH가 증가함에 따라 negative zeta potential 값이 증가하여 pH 9.36에서 -71.3mV를 나타내고 이후 거의 일정한 값을 나타내었으며, pH 1.98에서 +1.8 mV를 나타내어 amphoteric surface charge를 가지는 물질의 성질을 나타내었다. 전하결정이온은 $H^+, OH^-$ 이온이고, pH 2 부근에서 PZPC를 나타내었다. 용액의 전해질이 NaCl일 경우 $10^(-2)M (pNa=2)$ 이상의 농도에서는 $Na^+$ 이온의 농도가 증가함에 따라서 황토입자의 negative zeta potential 값은 일률적으로 감소하다가 $Na^+$ 이온의 농도가 1M (pNa=0)이 되었을 때 zeta potential은 0에 근접하였다. 용액의 전해질이 2 :l electrolyte ($CaCl_2$와 $MgCl_2$)의 경우 $Ca^(+2)$ 이온의 농도가 증가함에 따라서 황토입자의 negative zeta potential 값이 일률적으로 감소하다가 약 $10^(-3)M (pCa=3)$의 농도에서 등전점을 나타내고 전하역전이 일어났다. 해수중의 황토와 적조생물 입자는 비슷한 negative zeta potential을 나타내었고, 점토 중에서 해사가 가장 큰 negative zeta potential을 나타내었다. 해수중에서 황토입자와 적조생물입자의 EDL은 해수에 포함된 고농도의 염류 농도로 인하여 극히 얇게 압축되고, 이런 상태에서 두 입자가 상호 접근할 경우 모든 간격에서 LVDW attractive force의 절대값이 EDL repulsive force의 절대값보다 항상 큰 값을 나타낸다. 해수중에서 황토입자와 적조생물입자는 모든 간격에서 negative total interaction energy 값 (attractive force)을 나타내어 항상 용이하게 floe을 형성할 수밖에 없는 조건에 있다. 적조생물입자의 응집제거 효율은 황토의 농도가 증가함에 따라서 지수함수적 ($Y=36.04{\times}X^(0.11); R^2=0.9906$)으로 증가하였으며, 황토의 농도 800mg/l까지 급격한 증가를 보이다가 황토의 농도가 계속 증가함에 따라서 완만한 증가를 나타내었다. 적조생물은 황토 6,400mg/l에서 거의 $100{\%}$ 응집제거 되었다. 황토 800 mg/l을 사용하고 G-value를 $1, 6, 29, 139 sec^(-1)$로 단계적으로 증가시킴에 따라 응집제거 효율은 지수함수적으로 증가하였다. 이는 응집반응의 효율을 높이기 위해서는 황토입자와 적조생물입자 사이에 충분한 충돌이 일어날 수 있도록 교반하는 것이 매우 중요함을 나타내 주는 것이다. $800mg/l$의 농도에서 황토는 철을 함유하지 않은 다른 점토보다 $28.8{\~}60.3{\%}$ 더 높은 처리효율을 나타내었다. 황토에는 >SiOH의 음전하단과 수중의 phenolphthalein alkalinity를 소모하는 수화금속화합물의 양전하단이 공존하며, 이 수화금속화합물에 의하여 황토가 나머지 점토 특히 해사와 다른 응집특성을 보여주는 것으로 생각된다.

Zeta potential measurement not only can provide surface information on colloidal biomaterials but more importantly can be used in bioprocess control and products quality control. In this study, zeta potentials for intracrystalline proteins of each layers from oyster shell prepared in 1mM NaCl at different pH were measured. Also, in forming calcite crystals with intracrystalline proteins as an additive extracted from oyster shell, the zeta potentials were measured. These studies were performed to verify the primary role of intracrystalline proteins in controlling the formation, morphological development and crystallography of the biocomposite.

Electrocoagulation has been suggested as a promising alternative to conventional coagulation. The process is characterized by reduced sludge production, no requirement for chemical use, and ease of operation. However, this coagulation has scarcely been studied in water purifying process. This study was performed several batch experiments to compare turbidity removal between electrocoagulation and chemical coagulation. In addition, characteristics of floe were evaluated with zeta potential and particle size distributions. Electrocoagulation showed a relatively higher removal of turbidity (approximately 5%) with the same aluminum amount than conventional chemical coagulation. In addition, turbidity removal by electrocoagulation was less sensitive to pH and was greater for more extensive pH range than chemical coagulation. The results of zeta potential and floc size distributions illustrated that electrocoagulation provided the preferable conditions for coagulation such as zeta potential close to zero millivolt and increased portions of particles in the range of 40 and $100{\mu}m$.

The stability of slurry and removal rate during recycling of colloidal silica slurry was evaluated in silicon wafer polishing. The particle size distribution, pH, and zeta potential were measured to investigate the stability of colloidal silica. Large particles appeared as recycling time increased while average size of slurry did not change. Large particles were identified by EDS(energy dispersive spectrometer) as foreign substances from pad or abraded silicon flakes during polishing. As the recycling time increased, pH of slurry decreased and removal rate of silicon reduced but zeta potential decreased inversely. Hence, it could be mentioned that decrease of removal rate is related to consumption of $OH^-$ ions during recycling. Attention should be given to the control of pH of slurry during polishing.

Surface complexation models(SCMs) have been performed to predict metal ion adsorption behavior onto the mineral surface. Application of SCMs, however, requires a self-consistent approach to determine model parameter values. In this paper, in order to determine the metal ion adsorption parameters for the triple layer model(TLM) version of the SCM, we used the zeta potential data for Zeolite and Kaolinite, and the metal ion adsorption data for Pb(II) and Cd(II). Fitting parameters determined for the modeling were as follows ; total site concentration, site density, specific surface area, surface acidity constants, etc. Zeta potential as a new approach other than the acidic-alkalimetric titration method was adopted for simulation of adsorption phenomena. Some fitting parameters were determined by the trial and error method. Modeling approach was successful in quantitatively simulating adsorption behavior under various geochemical conditions.

Using a simple continuous optical technique, coupled with measurements of zeta potential, the effects of polyelectrolyte dosage, kaoline particles and pH on flocculation of humic acid by several cationic polyelectrolytes, have been examined. The charge density of a polyelectolyte is important in determining the optimum dosage and in the removal of humic acid. The optimum dosage is less for the polyelectrolytes of higher charge density and is the same regardless of the presence of kaoline particles of different turbidity. At the dosage, the removal of humic acid is higher for the polyelectrolytes of higher charge density and the zeta potential of humic acid approaches to near zero, With increasing pH of humic acid, the optimum dosage increases and the flocculation index value obtained at the dosage decreases in the following pH 7 ＞ pH 5 ＞ pH 9, regardless of polyelectrolytes.

The sapphire wafer for blue light emitting device was manufactured by the implementation of the chemical and mechanical polishing process. The surface polishing of crystalline sapphire wafer was characterized by zeta potential measurement. The reduction process with the alkali slurry provides the surface chemical reaction with sapphire atoms. The poly-urethane pad also provides the frictional force to take out the chemically-reacted surface layers. The surface roughness was measured by the atomic force microscope and the crystalline quality was characterized by the double crystal X -ray diffraction analysis.

본 연구에서는 전기삼투 배수와 제타포텐셜과 상관성을 규명하고자 하였다. 실험으로 직경 10cm, 길이 16cm의 원형 압밀시료에 일정 전압경사법으로 1V/cm의 직류접압을 가하여 0, 500, 3000 ppm의 납농도와 0, 230, 2300, 23000 ppm의 염분농도에서 각각 12일 과 14일 동안 전지삼투 배수량을 측정하였고, 같은 농도에서 kaolinite 현탁액의 제타포텐셜을 pH2부터 14범위에서 측정하였다. 실험결과 제타포텐셜은 전해질 농도와 pH 변화에 의존적이고, 전기삼투 투수계수와 비례관계가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 제타포텐셜에 따른 전기삼투 배수량과 비교한 결과, 전해질 농도가 낮을수록 제타포텐셜은 음의 값은 크고, 전기삼투 배수량도 더 증가하였다.
