This study is to define the hemodiafiltration treatment compliance indicators and discriminate standards for hemodiafiltration patients and development of hemodiafiltration treatment compliance measurement-convergent form. Date was collected from 300 on-line hemodiafiltration patients. To verify the hemodiafiltration treatment compliance indicators and discriminate standards, used construct validity and content validity by clinical professional group. Discriminant ability of 3 indicators-interdialysis weight gain rate(IWGR), serum phosphate level, rate of self change of total hemodiafiltration treatment time(SCR-HEFTT)- is 95.6%(wilks ramda=.256, p=.002). And hemodiafiltration treatment compliance measurement-convergent form has 91.7% discriminant accuracy. Hemodiafiltration treatment compliance is important that nurses can aware pre-stage of complication and give appropriate nursing intervention. Also this measurement can be used for foundation data of the nursing intervention development that prevent dialysis patient's complication.

A process diagnosis method for membrane water treatment plant was developed using a constant flux membrane fouling model. This diagnosis method can be applied to a real-field membrane-based water treatment plant as an early alarming system for membrane fouling. The constant flux membrane fouling model was based on the simplest equation form to describe change in trans-membrane pressure (TMP) during the filtration cycle from a literature. The model was verified using a pilot-scale microfiltraton (MF) plant with two commercial MF membrane modules (72 m2 of membrane area). The predicted TMP data were produced using the model, where the modeling parameters were obtained by the least square method using the early plant data and modeling equations. The diagnosis was carried out by comparing the predicted TMP data (as baseline) and real plant data. As a result of the case study, the diagnsis method worked pretty well to predict the early points where fouling started to occur.

The polymeric porous materials which consist of polypropylene(PP) and polyethylene(PE) powder were prepared to apply to the air purification systems by extrusion sintering method. SEM analysis showed that a composite polymeric porous structure made up of PP and PE was obtained, where PE was melted and adhered to PP because the melting temperature of PE was lower than that of PP. The filtration characteristics and mechanical properties of polymeric porous materials were investigated by varying the head die temperature of the extruder, extrusion velocity, and the melt index and quantity of PE. The filtration efficiency was proportional to the quantity of PE but inversely proportional to the melt index of PE. The polymeric porous materials composed of PP and PE, which was made by extrusion sintering method, was found to be suitable for the filter element of the air purification system.

Filtration experiments were conducted to determine the characteristics of manganese removal in filtration using 4 different filter media including sand and manganese sand(MS). Filtration velocity was 123 m/d and the flow rate was $3.9m^3/d$ per column. Duration of these experiments was about one year, and manganese dioxide accumulation, turbidity removal, manganese removal, and organic material removal were examined depending on filter media. When filter influent(residual chlorine 1.0 mg/L) with an average manganese concentration of 0.208 mg/L was fed through a filter column, the sand+MS and MS columns removed 98.9% and 99.2% of manganese respectively on an annual basis. When there is need to replace the sand filters with a MS filter to remove manganese, it was shown that the replacement of a partial sand filter with MS had adequate manganese removal.

Ammonia removal capacities of five submerged filter media, 2~3mm sand, 30~50mm gravel, 20~40mm coral sand, polythylene net, and corrugated plastic plate in a seawater recirculating system were tested. A rotating biological contactor (RBC) was also tested for comparison. Oxygen consumption rates were measured along with the ammonia removal efficiencies. The ammonia concentrations in the system were maintained from 0.052 to 0.904 mg/l (mean 0.338$\pm$0.219 mg/l) and the water temperature was ranged from 19.2 to $21.4^{\circ}C\;(mean 20.2^{\circ}C\pm0.58^{\circ}C$). The 1/2-order kinetic model (Y:g/$m^3$/day) and the mean ammonia removal rates (g/$m^3$/day) of the filter media were : Sand : Y=135.5X0.5-25.1(r2=0.8110), 45.1 Coral sand : Y=125.1X0.5-33.0 (r2=0.7307), 31.8 Polyethylene net : Y=87.4X0.5-20.1 (r2=0.6780), 25.2 Corrugated plastic plate : Y=87.4X0.5-20.1(r2=0.5206), 19.2 Gravel : Y=4307X0.5-5.5 (r2=0.2596), 17.1 RBC : Y=127.6X0.5-33.4 (r2=0.7146), 32.8 where X is the concentration of ammonia. Oxygen consumption rates well corresponded to the ammonia removal capacities of each filter medium, thus the sands showing the highest value (442g/$m^3$/day) followed by coral sands (291.1g/$m^3$/day), polyethylene nets (236.9g/$m^3$/day), gravels (135.6g/$m^3$/day) and corrugated plastic plates (134.2g/$m^3$/day). Oxygen consumption rate of the RBC was unable to measure because of the characteristics of the structure.

Distillation condensate generated from downstream processing of microbial alcohol fermentation imposes a serious burden to biological wastewater treatment or anaerobic digestion due to its high contents of SS (suspended solids) and TN (total nitrogen), A pilot scale microfiltration of the stillage condensate with a stainless steel SCEPTER membrane of 0.1 ${\mu}$m pore size was carried out to remove SS which was mostly composed of microbial cell residue. A stable permeate flux was achieved when the decanter effluent containing 0.7% of SS was filtered under the conditions of X10 VCR (volume concentration ratio), 2.5 bar of TMP (transmembrane pressure), and 60$^{\circ}C$. When stillage condensate with 2.6% SS was treated directly with microfiltration, VCR below X3 was recommended for a long duration of filtration. The permeate and retentate obtained from microfiltration were recycled to make-up medium of fermentation. Adding permeate or retentate up to 30% of fermentation volume showed no distinguished undesirable influence during the course of alcohol fermentation. Although only slight improvements in the final amount of CO$_2$ evolution and alcohol content were observed, fermentation rate increased so that the required time to reach 450 L/ton of CO$_2$ evolution was shortened to 72% of that with normal media.

The tap water supply in Korea mainly depends on the surface water. However, the advanced water purification process becomes a necessity due to the deterioration of surface water quality and the risk of accidental spill. High cost of water treatment and public concerns make the decision makers turn to riverbank filtration as an alternative to the surface water. Riverbank filtration has been employed for water supply in many developed countries for more than 150 years. In Korea, riverbank filtration has drawn attention since 1990s as a supply source having potential to stably meet the ever-increasing water demand. Some cities located in the Nakdong River Basin are currently supplying water through riverbank filtration. This work studies the site suitability analysis for riverbank filtration using game theory. Theory of games, which is a branch of applied mathematics used in social sciences (most notably economics), biology, engineering and computer science, was applied to candidate locations for the selection of riverbank filtration site. We proposed a policy game model as a new method adopting a probabilistic approach. The model developed turned out to be an effective tool for site selection.

한외여과법을 이용한 식품 페액의 단백질 분리, 회수에 관한 조작조건의 최적화를 위하여 cheese whey의 투과유속에 대한 세정효과의 영향과 조작압과 한계유속의 상관관계를 측정하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 세정의 효과로부터 유지 전용세제를 사용한 경우가 막의 투과유속의 회복율이 가장 높았으므로 whey중에 소량 함유되어 있는 유지분이 막의 투과유속의 저하에 큰 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었고, cheese whey를 한외여과법에 의하여 농축, 분리하는 경우 사용압력범위 $1{\sim}10kg/cm^2$에서 분획분자량 100,000인 막을 사용하는 경우 조작압력 약 $7kg/cm^2$에서 한계유속에 달하였으며, 그 이상으로는 압력을 가하여도 투과유속은 상승하지 않았다. 또한 이력현상의존재도 고려하여 볼 때 과도한 압력은 한외여과의 경우 투과유속의 상승에 효과가 없음을 알 수 있었다.

산업폐수는 종종 희석용액 내에 많은 유독성 물질을 함유하고 있다. 산업폐수를 처리하는 분리공정으로 역삼투막과 한외여과와 같은 막분리 기술은 분리 공정이 간단하고 상변화없이 폐수용량을 크게 감소시킬 수 있고 에너지 소모가 작은 장점을 가지고 있어 그 적용이 확산되고 있다. 계면활성제의 흡착성을 이용한 한외여과 막분리는 높은 막투과속도와 계면활성제의 높은 선택성이 결합된 것인데, Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate(SDS)와 같은 계면활성제를 이용하여 폐수로부터 불용성 중금속 이온과 독성의 유기물질을 분리하는 데에 적용할 수 있다. 임계미셀농도(CMC) 이상에서의 농도에서, 60~200 계면활성제 분자들이 거대분자나 미셀을 형성하면서 서로 응집된다. 그러므로 음으로 하전된 미셀과 결합된 금속 음이온은 2,000에서 10,000 범위의 분자량을 가지는데 역삼투막(RO)보다 작은 압력에서 상당히 큰 막투과속도를 가진 한외여과막에 의해 선택적으로 제거될 수 있다 본 연구의 목적은 중공사 한외여과막의 막투과속도에 미치는 인자들의 영향과, 계면활성제의 흡착성을 이용한 중공사 한외여과 막분리계 성능에 미치는 금속의 형태, S/M 몰비등의 효과를 결정하는데 있다.
