The objective of this study was to investigate the virus removal from artificial groundwater using Mg-Fe layered double hydroxide (LDH). Batch experiments were conducted under various experimental conditions to examine bacteriophage T7 removal with Mg-Fe LDH. Results showed that the removal of T7 by Mg-Fe LDH was a fast process, reaching equilibrium within 2~3 hrs. Mg-Fe LDH had the virus removal capacity of $1.57{\times}10^8pfu/g$ with a removal percent of 96%. Results also showed that the effect of solution pH on T7 removal was minimal between pH 6.2 and 9.1. The influence of anions ($SO_4^{2-}$, $CO_3^{2-}$, $HPO_4^{2-}$) on T7 removal was significant due to their competition with bacteriophage at the sorption sites on LDH, while the effect of $NO_3^-$ was negligible. This study demonstrated that Mg-Fe LDH could be applied as adsorbents for virus removal in water treatment.

The objective of this research was to increase phytoprotective effects by combined treatment of uniconazole and free radical scavengers such as ascorbic acid or sodium benzoate on $SO_2$ injury in P. occidentalis. The plant injury, chlorophyll content and enzyme activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and peroxidase(POD) affected by combined treatment were also investigated. The phytoprotective role of uniconazole was nullified by spray of Diethyldithiocarbamate(DDTC) resulting in the decrease of SOD and POD activities. Free radical scavengers, sodium benzoate and ascorbic acid, did not affect SOD and POD activity, but significantly inhibited the development of visible injury, degradation of chlorophyll, and SOD and POD activity in leaves exposed to $SO_2$. The spray of ascorbic acid decreased plant susceptibility to $SO_2$ induced by DDTC application. These results indicate that uniconazole application increase SOD activity that play a role of antioxidant in plant body, but sodium benzoate and ascorbic acid do not affect enzyme activities of SOD or POD.

High concentrations of HCO$_3$$^{[-10]}$ (bicarbonate ion) in hydroponic water lead to high pH and to change in solubility, and consequently inhibition of absorption of available iou. An adequate and practical method is needed to remove HCO$_3$$^{[-10]}$ in the water fur hydroponics. to compare the efficiency of HCO$_3$$^{[-10]}$ removal, the effect of injecting HNO$_3$, H$_3$PO$_4$ or H$_2$SO$_4$ was tested. Acid injection was effective to remove HCO$_3$$^{[-10]}$ Based on the assumption that an equivalent of HCO$_3$$^{[-10]}$ ion is neutralized by an equivalent of acid, KHCO$_3$ was dissolved in a double distilled water at 50, 100, 150, 200 or 250 mg.L$^{[-10]}$ concentration and either HNO$_3$, H$_3$PO$_4$ or H$_2$SO$_4$ was injected at a certain ratio, and the resulting pH change and HCO$_3$$^{[-10]}$ ion removal was measured. According to the results obtained, HCO$_3$$^{[-10]}$ in hydroponic water was titrated, and concentration of the residual HCO$_3$$^{[-10]}$ ion well correlated with the amount of acid injected.

편의와 fresh-like quality를 선호하는 소비 경향에 맞추어 가공한 fresh-cut사과의 선도 연장을 위한 저해제를 탐색하였다. 실험에 사용된 사과는 박피하여 속심을 제거한 사과를 8조각으로 절단하여 저해제에 3분간 침지한 후 물기를 제거하고 각각 LDPE 포장지에 포장하여 실온에서 저장하면서 colorimeter와 rheometer를 이용하여 색도와 물성을 측정하였다. 저해제로는 1% ascorbic acid, citric acid, NaCl, MgCl$_2$, CaCl$_2$, KCl, CaSO$_4$, MgSO$_4$, $Na_2$SO$_4$, oxalic acid, calcium lactate, calcium citrate를 사용하였으며 천연저해제로는 건칡, 맥문동, 목향, Rhubarb, 당귀, 오약, 시체, 지각, 천문동, 청피, 계피, 구기자, 당귀, 진피, 감초, 녹차, 후추 등을 열수추출하여 사용하였다. 물리적인 변화는 시간이 경과함에 따라 감소하는 추세를 보였으며 일부 건조로 인해 texture의 증가를 나타내기도 했다. 처리에 따른 물리적인 변화로는 CaCl$_2$, NaSO$_4$, Cl, 시금치를 처리하였을 때 그 변화가 가장 작았으나 시금치의 경우 시금치로 인한 사과의 색변화로 관능적으로 좋지 않았다. 한약재는 목향, 당귀, 지각, 계피를 처리하였을 때 물리적인 변화가 가장 작았으나 시금치와 마찬가지로 처리 초기에 한약재 자체의 향과 색으로 인하여 관능적으로 좋지 못한 결과를 나타냈다. 갈변 정도를 나타내는 ΔE의 변화는 KCl과 CaCl$_2$, CaSO$_4$를 처리한 구에서 변화가 가장 작았으며 한약재를 처리하였을 경우 당귀, 천문동을 처리한 구에서 효과를 보였다. oxalic acid는 갈변저해에는 효과적이었으나 시간이 경과함에 따라 수분의 용출이 증가하였으며 물성의 변화도 컸다. 또한 ZnCl$_2$를 처리한 구에서는 이취 발생과 수분 용출이 컸으며 색의 변화도 컸다.

The anodic alumina is synthesized using 0.3M oxalic acid and the barrier layers of the anodic alumina are removed using the 20wt% $H_2SO_4$ solution. The structure of the anodic alumina is analyzed by XRD and SEM. It is observed by SEM that the size of anodic alumina pore is about 60nm. And the uniformity of the anodic alumina surface under the 20wt% $H_2SO_4$ solution is poorer than the unifomity of the the normal anodic alumina surface. The anodic alumina and the carbon are used cathode and anode in$Cd(NO_3)_2{\cdot}4H_2O$, $Co(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$ and $PbSO_4$ solutions. In this study, the constant D.C. electrical current is flowed in each solution for 24hours. It is found that the voltages so far as 4.6, 3.4 and 5.1V at $Cd(NO_3)_2{\cdot}4H_2O$, $Co(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$ and $PbSO_4$ solutions increase with increasing the flowing current time and after the voltage does not change which values are 4.2, 2.7 and 2.4V, respectively. The amount of metal ions in solutions decrease with increasing the flowing current time until the flowing current time is 18hours and the metals are formed at the surface of anodic alumina. After the metal ions are removed using the anodic alumina, and $Cd^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$ and $Pb^{2+}$ ions are removed again using flow cell with retriculate vitreous carbon(RVC) working electrode. The concentration of $Cd^{2+}$, and $Co^{2+}$ions decrease until the flowing time of the solutions is 20minutes and the concentration of $Pb^{2+}$ ion decreases until that time is 30minutes. In this case, the removal effects of $Cd^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$ and $Pb^{2+}$ ions are 34.78, 28.79 and 86.38%, respectively. And it is possible that both $Cd^{2+}$ and $Co^{2+}$ions are adsorbed in pore of RVC at the same time and the removal effects of $Cd^{2+}$ and $Co^{2+}$ions are 32.30 and 31.37%.

A pilot-scale electrokinetic (EK) separation field test ($2{\times}3{\times}0.2m^3$, $W{\times}L{\times}D$) was performed in a greenhouse to remove salts from saline soil. Initially, the greenhouse soil had high electrical conductivity (EC), about 9 dS/m, and contained mainly $Ca^{2+}$, $Cl^-$ and $SO_4^{2-}$ ions. After 2 weeks of EK treatment, the soil EC was reduced to 52% compared with its initial value. The EC reduction was mostly achieved within the first week (47%) due to removal of $Na^+$ and $Cl^-$ ions, but ions with a high adsorption capacity such as $Ca^{2+}$ and $SO_4^{2-}$ ions were difficult to be removed. During the EK test, the soil temperature increased and it reached around $50^{\circ}C$ at some regions. For in situ application to soils in cultivation, the current should be controlled to limit increases in temperature, especially near the cathodes. In conclusion, the in situ EK technique is feasible for the restoration of saline greenhouse soils in or no cultivation and an appropriate strategy is necessary for more effective remediation.

Studies were carried out on the selective removal of inorganic salts such as NaCl and $Na_2SO_4$ from dye solution, using counter diffusion-reverse osmosis and nanofiltration, respectivey. For the dye solution used in the experiments, 1 to 30% of salts were removed by counter diffusion while the loss of dye molecules was less than 0.3%. The separation factors by one pass operation were 10-500 according to ionic species. In five successive operations, removals of anion($Cl^-$) increased but those of cation($Na^+$) decreased due to the Donnan effect. Effects of feed flow rate on removal efficiencies of various ions were also observed at constant flow rate of stripping water. Reverse osmosis of desalted dye solution by counter diffusion was conducted to prepare highly concentrated liquid dyes. The rejection efficiency of dye molecules was greater than 99%. For the rejection efficiency of chloride ion, experimental values were compared with theoretical ones based on solution-diffusion model. Two stage diafiltration was performed in nanofiltration. The rejection efficiency of chloride ion was continuously decreased due to the Donnan dialysis and even negative rejection was observed. The Donnan effect was more pronounced in the second diafiltration.

This study is concerned with the treatment of dye wastewater by carrier meditated emulsion liquid membrane. Optimum conditions for the removal of anionic dye and cationic dye by the emulsion liquid membrane(ELM) containing Aliquat 336 or D2EHPA were obtained in the batch operation, an actual dye wastewater was tested under these conditions. Dye reagents used were Sirius Red(Direct dye), Reactofix Supra Blue(Reactive dye), and Apollo Blue(Basic dye). The experimental variables were surfactant(Span 80) and carrier(Aliquat 336 or D2EHPA) concentration in the membrane phase, the counter ion($Na_2SO_4$) concentration in the internal phase and the amount of emulsion. Extraction equilibrium arrived within 5 minutes after starting reaction and more than 95% of dye ion could be removed. The carrier concentration in the membrane phase was the most crucial for the removal efficiency, but other variables effected to the reaction time more than the removal efficiency. The dye wastewater was treated under the optimum conditions in two steps. The absorbance at 550nm of wastewater was decreased 0.53 to below 0.03 after 10 minutes treatment.
