A multilayer tower-type photoreactor, in which $TiO_2$-coated glass-tubes were installed, was used to measure the vapor-phase BTEX removal efficiencies by ozone oxidation ($O_3$/UV), photocatalytic oxidation ($TiO_2$/UV) and the combination of ozone and photocatalytic oxidation ($O_3/TiO_2$/UV) process, respectively. The experiments were conducted under various relative humidities, temperatures, ozone concentrations, gas flow rates and BTEX concentrations. As a result, the BTEX removal efficiency and the oxidation rate by $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system were highest, compared to $O_3$/UV and $TiO_2$/UV system. The $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system accelerated the low oxidation rate of low-concentration organic compounds and removed organic compounds to a large extent in a fixed volume of reactor in a short time. Therefore, $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system as a superimposed oxidation technology was developed to efficiently and economically treat refractory VOCs. Also, this study demonstrated feasibility of a technology to scale up a photoreactor from lab-scale to pilot-scale, which uses (i) a separated light-source chamber and a light distribution system, (ii) catalyst fixing to glass-tube media, and (iii) unit connection in series and/or parallel. The experimental results from $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system showed that (i) the highest BTEX removal efficiencies were obtained under relative humidity ranging from 50 to 55% and temperature ranging from 40 to $50^{\circ}C$, and (ii) the removal efficiencies linearly increased with ozone dosage and decreased with gas flow rate. When applying Langmuir-Hinshelwood model to $TiO_2$/UV and $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system, reaction rate constant for $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system was larger than that for $TiO_2$/UV system, however, it was found that adsorption constant for $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system was smaller than that for $TiO_2$/UV system due to competitive adsorption between organics and ozone.

The removal efficiency of organic compounds and the toxicity evaluation of microorganism have been studied in dye wastewater treatment using $UV/TiO_2$ and $UV/H_2O_2$ photooxidation system. Sample waters tested in this work were raw dye wastewater and dye wastewater treated in $UV/TiO_2$ and $UV/H_2O_2$ photooxidation system respectively. Total organic carbon(TOC) removal rate was 50% in $UV/TiO_2$ process and 80% in $UV/H_2O_2$ process. It has been investigated with colony counting agar method and paper disk method whether the type of treatment process has affected the microorganism growth. In the raw wastewater, more than four types of microorganisms have survived. But, little of microorganisms were alive at TOC removal rate of 50% in $UV/TiO_2$ system. In contrast to that, two types of microorganisms were found at TOC removal rate of 80% in $UV/H_2O_2$ system.

두가지 형태(1단 반응기와 2단 반응기)의 UV-$TiO_2$광촉매 시스템과 3가지 형태의 $TiO_2$가 코팅된 촉매를 이용하여 미생물에 대한 살균효과를 살펴보았다. 첫번째 형태는 석영관에 $TiO_2$가 박막증착된 것이고 두번째 형태는 glass bead 표면에 $TiO_2$가 코팅된 형태이며 세번째는 alginate bead에 $TiO_2$가 혼합된 형태이다. 1분동안 UV를 조사하였을때 1단 반응기에서 $TiO_2$가 박막증착된 석영관과 $TiO_2$가 코팅된 glass bead의 살균효율은 각각 63.2%와 89.9%이었다. 반응기에 기포를 주입했을 때의 살균효율은 glass bead의 경우 95%로 기포를 주입하지 않았을 때의 90.6%보다 휠씬 효과적이었다. 기포를 주입하면서 광촉매로 alginate bead에 $TiO_2$가 혼합된 것을 이용하였을 경우의 살균효율은 86%이었다. $TiO_2$가 코팅된 glass bead를 이용한 반응기에 기포를 주입하면서 $H_2$$O_2$를 처리하였을 때의 살균정도는 미량농도에서도 매우 효과적이었다. 1단 반응기보다 2단 반응기에서의 살균효율이 더욱 증가하였으며 E. coli에 대한 살균효과가 S. cerevisiae보다 더 높게 나타났다.

The ozonation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) was performed at 20℃ using a pilot scale countercurrent bubble column reactor. Ozonation systems were combined with UV irradiation and TiO₂ addition. As the oxidation reaction proceeded in each treatment system, the pH of the sample decreased and in the O₃/UV/TiO₂ system, the pH change was the largest from 4.54 to 2.02. Under these experimental conditions, the scavenger impact of carbonate is negligible. The highest COD and TOC removal rate was observed in the O₃/UV/TiO₂ system due to the UV irradiation and the photocatalytic effect of TiO₂. Also, the highest mineralization ratio(ε) value is 0.2 in the O₃/UV/TiO₂ system, which means theoxidation capacity of the systems. The highest SMX degradation rate constants calculated by COD and TOC values (COD and TOC) were 2.15 × 10^-4 sec^-1 and 1.00 × 10^-4 sec^-1 in the O₃/UV/TiO₂ system, respectively. The activation energy (E_a) of ozone treatment follows the Arrhenius law. It was calculated based on _COD and _TOC. Each activation energy decreased in order of single O₃> O₃/TiO₂> O₃/UV > O₃/UV/TiO₂ system. The result showed that ΔH^≠ is more effective than ΔS^≠ in each SMX ozontaionsystem, that is characteristic of the common oxidation reaction.

The Photocatalytic decolorization and degradation of commercial dyes were studied using a batch reactor. Degussa P25 titanium dioxide and $H_2O_2$ were used as the photocatalyst and proved to be effective for dyes degradation when they were irradiated with UV light. The light source was a 20W low pressure mercury lamp. Three different kinds of dyes, such as direct dye(congo red), acid dye (acid black) and disperse dye(disperse blue) were tested. Extending the UV only treatment up to 120min, direct dye was decolorized to 60% and degraded to 30% as COD. On the other side, acid and disperse dyes were eliminated less than 10% as color and COD. But, color and COD were eliminated about 90% for all of the three dyes by $UV/H_2O_2$ system. And then the most effective decolorization was done for direct dye with 96% removal efficiency by $UV/TiO_2$ system at 120min with 500mg/L of $TiO_2$.

Currently, the application of $TiO_2$ photocatalyst has been focused on purification and treatment of wastewater. However, the use of conventional $TiO_2$ slurry photocatalyst results in disadvantage of stirring during the reaction and of separation after the reaction. And the usage of artificial UV lamp has made the cost of photocatalyst treatment system high. Consequently, we studied that solar light/$TiO_2$ film system was designed and developed in order to examine disinfection characteristics of sewage wastewater treatment. The optimum conditions for disinfection such as solar light intensity, characteristic of sewage wastewater, amounts of $TiO_2$ and comparison of solar ligth/$TiO_2$ systems with UV light/$TiO_2$ system was examined. The results are as follows: (1) photocatalytic disinfection process with solar light in the presence of $TiO_2$ film more effectively killed total coliform (TC) than solar light or $TiO_2$ film absorption only. (2) The survival ratio of TC and residual ratio of organic material (BOD, CODcr) decreased with remain resistant material. (3) The survival ratio of TC and residual ratio of organic material (BOD, CODcr) decreased with the increase of amounts of $TiO_2$. (4) TC survival ratio decreased linearly with increasing UV light intensity. (5) The disinfection effect of solar light/$TiO_2$ slurry system decreased more than UV light/$TiO_2$ film systems. (6) The disinfection reaction followed first-order kinetics. We suggest that solar light instead of using artificial UV light was conducted to investigate the applicability of alternative energy source in the disinfection of TC and the degradation of organic material.

UV-TiO$_2$ 광촉매를 이용한 공기 정화 시스템에 운전조건에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. 이 연구에서 시스템의 운영 조건이 바뀜에 따른 오염물질 제거 특성을 관찰하기 위해 덕트 형태의 반응기를 제작하고, 스테인레스 격자망에 TiO$_2$를 코팅하였다. 또한 benzene을 이용하여 UV/TiO$_2$ 공정으로 유입농도를 변화시키고, 반응기로 들어오는 유량을 조절하여 TiO$_2$를 코팅한 스테인레스 격자망을 부착한 평판에서의 유속을 변화시켰으며, 코팅한 TiO$_2$ 광촉매량을 변화시키고, 일정한 양의 TiO$_2$ 광촉매를 코팅한 면적을 변화시켰으며, UV light intensity를 변화시켜 그에 따른 영향을 관찰하였다. 모든 실험에서의 상대습도는 55%, 반응기 온도는 45$^{\circ}C$를 유지하였다. 실험의 결과를 살펴보면, benzene의 유입농도가 증가할수록 제거효율이 감소하였고, 유속이 느려질수록, 즉 농도 경계층 두께(concentration boundary layer thickness)가 증가할수록, 코팅한 광촉매량, 광촉매를 코팅한 면적, 조사한 UV 램프의 intensity가 증가할수록 benzene 제거효율이 증가하였다. 본 연구 자료를 바탕으로 실내 공기 중 저농도의 VOCs를 대상으로 공기 정화 시스템을 설계할 경우 유용하게 적용할 수 있는 자료를 제시할 수 있다고 판단된다.

The use of photo-catalytic processes in pollution abatement and resource has a significant economic importance. Therefore, the applications of photochemical oxidation of secondary effluent driven by UV, TiO2, TiO2/UV, H2O2/UV and TiO2/H2O2/UV, have been investigated in order to treat the secondary effluent from municipal sewage. Various experimental parameters such as BOD, CODcr, Nurbidity, total P, and SPC were examined in each photo-catalytic reaction system. The results showed that the application of single oxidant such as UV, TiO2 only has a minor effect on parameters reduction (CODcr, BOD, etc) to treat the secondary effluent, whereas the combinations of oxidants increase the removal efficiency. The best removal efficiency in every parameters was achieved by the combination of TiO2, H2O2 and UV. It was also found that the optimum amount of TiO2 for the treatment was 1g/ι to achieve water reuse standard. From the results, the photocatalytic reaction system can be an alternative as a post-treatment to treat the secondary effluent from municipal sewage.
