A study for the evaluation of selected filter media that need further characterization particularily in the context of alpha measurements of radon progeny has been carried out by investigating physical characteristics and using the alpha spectroscopy. Physical characteristics was investigated by electrostatic charging and mechanical strength of filters, and then pressure drop before and after sampling was tested. Alpha spectroscopy was used to analyze the energy spectra from the deposition of radon progeny into filters. The results of the assessment showed that the newer filter types do not have a great advantage over the 'old standard' Millipore type AA. But Metricel DM-800 is recommended for those situations where electrostatic charging is a problem. Also this method will be used more effective for the evaluation of new developing filters in future.

제주지역 양조산업의 산업화 기술 개발의 일환으로 제주지역의 대표적인 전통 좁쌀 약주 제품에 대하여 유통 과정 중에 발생하는 침전 형성을 방지하는 기술을 개발하기 위하여 여과 공정 개선에 관한 연구를 실시하고 개선 방안을 제시하였다. 각종 공극 크기의 유리 막 여과지와 중공사막 카트리지 여과 연구 결과, 이 좁쌀 약주 제품에서 대부분이 침전 형성 가능한 입자들은 1.2$\mu\textrm{m}$여과 매질 공극 크기에 의한 여과에 의하여 제거 되여 보통의 소비에 문제가 되는 침전은 잘 않되는 것으로 조사되었다. 현재 제품 제조 현장에서 사용되고 있는 l$\mu\textrm{m}$ 공극 크기 원통형 정밀 여과기인 경우 이론적으로는 합당하나 여과 매질에 대한 산업 인 공극 크기에 대한 오차 한계인 $\pm$20-30% 때문에 일부제품에서 침전 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 4$^{\circ}C$와 실온을 48시간씩 반복하면서 3개월간 저장 중 유리 막 여과지인 경우는 0.7$\mu\textrm{m}$ 공극크기의 여과에서도 세밀한 관찰에 의하여 침전형성이 관찰되었으나 중공사막인 경우에는 0.45$\mu\textrm{m}$에서도 전연 침전형성이 관찰되지 않았다. 따라서 완벽한 침전 형성 방지를 위해서는 최종 여과공정에 중공사막 여과 시스템 도입이 효과적이며, 설계 기준은 0.45$\mu\textrm{m}$ 공극과 내경 1mm정도의 중공사막을 유효 여과 면적 1$m^2$정도를 가지도록 하는 중공사막 여과 시스템인 경우 여과 능력은 약400ι/hr로 계산되었다.

The filtration effects of glass membrane filters and hollow fiber membranes with different pore size to prevent the haze of a commercial foxtail millet Yakju were investigated. The most particles(haze precusors) present in the Yakju were removed by using 1.2 $\mu\textrm{m}$ glass membrane filter. In case of using 0.45$\mu\textrm{m}$ hollow fiber membrane system, the permeate flux on the Yakju filtration was calculated to 342.8 lmh. During the 3 month storage at 4$^{\circ}C$ and room temperature for each 48 hrs in turn, alittle fine haze was observed from the Yakju even if it was filtered by using 0.7 $\mu\textrm{m}$ glass membrane filter. Anything of haze was, however, observed from the Yakju filtered by using all of hollow fiber membranes. Therefore, the 0.45$\mu\textrm{m}$ hollow fiber membrane system was effective as a final filtration process of the Yakju.

Slow sand filtration was modified and applied for the determination of eliminating efficacy of various fungi and for recommending an easy approach to growers. After 1,500 liter filtration, Fusarium oxysporum was eliminated by several substrates such as activated charcoal (92.5% elimination), silica (90.8%), vermiculite (90.5%), sand (82.3%), perlite (50.4%), and hydroball (21.2%). Silica was able to eliminate several fungi by maximal ratio, which was corresponded to Fusarium oxysporum 120 cfu/mL. Collectotrichum lagenarium 98 cfu/mL. Phytophthora capsici 82 cfu/mL, Botrytis cinerea 62 cfu/mL, Pythium spp. 42 cfu/mL, and Sclerotinia ssp. 52 cfu/mL. In this case, the change of EC was minor and pH was maintained to about 7. In deep flow culture of 'Ddooksum Cheokchookmyeon' lettuce and 'Seokwang' tomato, silica-, activated charcoal-, and vermiculite-based filtration system successfully eliminated Fusarium oxysporum and Phytophthora capsici from the nutrient solution. As a result, these plants were not diseased by ten weeks after inoculation. With this system, growers can easily control the root-zone fungi in the recirculating hydroponic system.

This study focused on the physicochemical effects of bottom ash dissolved precipitation on the soil and groundwater environment. The iced column and percolation experiments showed that most of the bottom ash particles were drained as the ash-dissolved solution, while the charcoal powder was filtered through the soil. Ion species of Al, As, Cu, Cd, Cr, Pb, Fe, Mn, Ca, K, Si, F, NO₃, SO₄ were analyzed from the eluates collected during the 24 h column test. In the charcoal powder eluates, a high concentration of K was detected at the beginning of the reaction, but it decreased with time. The concentrations of Al and Ca were observed to increase with time, although they existed in trace amount. In the bottom ash eluates, the concentrations of Ca and SO₄ decreased by 30 mg·L^-1 and 67 mg·L^-1, respectively, over 24 h. It is regarded that the infiltration patterns of the bottom ash and biochar in the unsaturated zone were different owing to their particle sizes and solvent properties. It is expected that a significant amount of the bottom ash will mix with the precipitation and percolate below the water table, especially in the case of thin and highly permeable unsaturated zone. The biochar was filtered through the unsaturated zone. The biochar did not dissolve in the groundwater, although it reached the saturation zone. For these reasons, it is considered that the direct contamination by the bottom ash and biochar are unlikely to occur.
