This study was conducted to investigate survival of Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) on stainless steel and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and its transfer from two material to lettuce. The stainless steel and PVC were innoculated with B. cereus and stored at 6 combination conditions (temperature : $20^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$, relative humidity (RH) : 43%, 69%, and 100%). Although the total numbers of B. cereus at RH 43% and RH 69% were reduced by 3.53-4.00 log CFU/coupon within 24 h regardless of material type, the spore numbers of B. cereus was lasted at 3.0 log CFU/coupon. When two materials were stored at $30^{\circ}C$, RH 100%, the spore numbers of B. cereus was rapidly increased by 3.0 log CFU/coupon. In addition, the reduction rate of B. cereus was decreased in the presence of organic matter. Transfer rate of B. cereus from surface of stainless steel and PVC to lettuce was increased by 10 times in the presence of water on the lettuce surface. As a result of this study, the presence of B. cereus on produce contact surfaces can increase the risk of cross-contamination. Thus, it is important that the packing table and conveyer belt in post harvest facility should be properly washed and sanitized after working to prevent cross-contamination.

일반적으로 비닐하우스내의 농작물 경작은 자연환경과 차단된 조건에서 작물을 집약적으로 재배하므로 비료의 사용량이 많아 오염원으로 작용하고, 휴작기에 비닐을 제거 방치하므로 비닐 표면에 집적된 오염물은 강우 시 유출되어 이들로 인한 주변 하천수 및 지하수 오염을 가중시킨다. 따라서 팔당호 유역내 하천 부지에서 비닐하우스 등이 집단화 되어 있어 이로 인해 팔당호 유역내 수질에 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다. 또한 팔당호 유역내 하천부지에서 대단위 비닐농가가 집단적으로 조성되어 있는 것으로 조사되었으며, 팔당호 유역내 산발적으로 비닐하우스 농가가 형성되어 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 이들 비닐하우스로부터 비강우시에는 유출 오염수는 없는 것으로 파악되었으나, 강우 시 강우유출수가 표면 유출되는 과정에서 오염수가 팔당호로 직접 유입되어 팔당호 수질에 영향을 미치는 것으로 파악되었다. 팔당호 유역의 비닐하우스 경작에 의한 수질특성 조사 결과, SS 농도는 북한강 $372{\sim}446$ $mg/{\ell}$, 남한강 $488{\sim}547$ $mg/{\ell}$, 경안천 $345{\sim}415$ $mg/{\ell}$로 조사되었으며, BOD 농도는 북한강 $12.2{\sim}15.3$ $mg/{\ell}$, 남한강 $13.3{\sim}16.8$ $mg/{\ell}$, 경안천 $15.6{\sim}18.8$ $mg/{\ell}$으로 조사되었고, COD 농도는 북한강 $23.9{\sim}26.8$ $mg/{\ell}$, 남한강 $25.2{\sim}26.0$ $mg/{\ell}$, 경안천 $26.4{\sim}32.9$ $mg/{\ell}$로 조사되었다. 또한 T-N 농도는 북한강 $17.39{\sim}23.64$ $mg/{\ell}$, 남한강 $17.87{\sim}22.09$ $mg/{\ell}$, 경안천 $18.34{\sim}19.55$ $mg/{\ell}$으로 조사되었으며, T-P 농도는 북한강 $1.425{\sim}1.795$ $mg/{\ell}$, 남한강 $1.519{\sim}1.767$ $mg/{\ell}$, 경안천 $1.727{\sim}1.827$ $mg/{\ell}$로 조사되었다. 또한, 오염부하량으로부터 산정된 비닐하우스의 하천에 미치는 오염부하기여율은 SS의 경우 17.3%, BOD 4.5%, COD 5.2%, T-N 11.0%, T-P 7.4%로 조사되었다. 이는 비닐하우스 농가에서 유출되는 SS 및 T-N, T-P 오염부하량이 하천에 미치는 영향이 상대적으로 높다는 것을 의미하며, 이는 비닐하우스 주변이 주로 나대지로 되어 있고 비료 또는 영양물질이 많기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 탄소성 유기물질을 나타내는 BOD 및 COD의 오염부하기여율은 주변 토양과 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결국 비닐하우스의 재배는 토양 표면피복의 효과적인 관리 및 영양물질에 대한 관리가 이루어지지 않을 경우 팔당호에 영향을 미칠 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This paper investigated the membrane fouling potential at the state of passive adsorption which is no permeation with the test modules on COD (Chemical oxygen demand) loading rates, examined the recovery rate and resistance on membrane fouling by three cleaning manners of hydrophobic membrane in a bioreactor. The results showed that high COD loading led to the increase of extra-cellular polymeric substances and filtration resistance. The permeability resistance from 1st day to 63rd day was getting increased, however, the value of permeability resistance after 63th day during the operation period was almost same level at three COD loading rates, it was due that the biomass adhesion on membrane surface at the state of passive adsorption reached to the critical state. Also, the final recovery rates after three cleaning manners were 78%, 72% and 69% at the COD loading concentrations of 250 mg/L, 500 mg/L and 750 mg/L respectively, and then recovery rate by physical cleaning at Run 2 and Run 3 was decreased after 40th day, it proved that biomass cake, which is not easily removed, was formed on the membrane surface because of high COD loading rate and EPS concentration.

Accurate knowledge of the distribution of contamination electrons ( which comes from mainly gantry head by Compton scattering, pair production, and tray: henceforth called leptons ) at the surface and in the first centimeters of tissue is essential for the clinical practice of radiation oncology. Such lepton tends to reduce or eliminate the ‘skin-sparing’ advantage of megavoltage photon beam radiotherapy, This information is needed to prescribe a absorbed dose to a skin volume at a few millimeter depth in high energy therapeutic radiation photon beam All experiments were done with 15 MV photon beam from a dual energy linear accelerator (Clinac 1800, Varian). Field size is defined by ranged from 10.0$\times$10.0 to 30.0$\times$30.0 $\textrm{cm}^2$. The absorbed dose and distribution of leptons in therapeutic radiation beam (15 MV) are investigated by means of variable blocked beams of 30.0$\times$30.0 $\textrm{cm}^2$ and dose beam profiles partly removed leptons with a copper plate. A numerous leptons mainly are distributed as shape of broad cone in the central photon beam and leptons path length in the water are shorter than 2.5 cm because of the leptons energy having around 3.0 MeV. These results clearly appears that the subtraction of leptons from the total depth dose curve not only lower the absolute dose in the buildup region and surface dose, it also causes a shift of d$_{max}$ to a deeper depth.

Soil layer in vegetation filter strip is one of the very important factor for reduction of non-point pollutants by physical, chemical and biological reactions of it through infiltration process. This study was carried out to prepare more effective vegetation filter strip through modification of soil layer for river water quality improvement. Therefore, the main aims of this study are to compare and evaluate normal (straighten type) and modified (step type) vegetation filter strip, which make artificially change the soil layer to improve infiltration ability, through bench scale experiments. In the results of this study, vegetation filter strip of step type is much more highly reduction effectiveness of pollutants in surface flow compared with normal vegetation filter strip. In case of below effluent, however, it appeared that the vegetation filter strip modified soil layer showed lower reduction effectiveness of pollutants than the general vegetation filter strip. This result was judged because effluent through the vegetation filter strip of step type passed bigger size of aggregate or sand than the vegetation filter strip of straighten type. If we compare it as a definition of pollutant load to estimate total amount of reduced pollutants by vegetation filter strip, reduced pollutants load by step type showed higher than those by straighten type because below effluent amount relied on total effluent amount was higher at step type (4%) than at straighten type (2%). In conclusion, the vegetation filter strip of step type to improve infiltration effect is much more reduction effectiveness of pollutants than vegetation filter strip of straighten type.

The primary objective of this study is to increase the extent of water flux and fouling resistance of nano-filtration or reverse osmosis membranes. This study was performed to investigate the effect of surface characteristics of silane coated membranes on modified fouling index. Commercial polyamide composite RO membrane (RE1812-LP) and NF membrane (ESNA4040-LF) were treated with silane coupling agents in ethanol at five different concentrations. The silane coupling reagent, aminopropylmethoxydiethoxysilane, contains one aminoalkyl and three alkoxy groups. The hydrophilic effect of aminoalkyl group of APMDES on the permeability and fouling resistance of the modified membrane was examined. The surfaces of the modified membranes were characterized by FE-SEM, contact angle analyzer, and zeta potentiometer in order to confirm successful sol-gel methods. The modified NF membranes showed significantly enhanced water flux and fouling resistance without a decrease in salt rejection in divalent ionic feed solution.

In this study, a hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane was modified by coating neutral hydrophilic poly(vinyl alcohol). The flux of pure water was measured and then fouling test was conducted with bovin serum albumin (BSA) as model protein foulant. As a result, the experiments showed that pure water flux was decreased but anti-fouling property was significantly enhanced. Pure water flux with increasing molecular weights of the polymer was decreased and fouling resistance was enhanced. Also, Pure water flux with increasing solution concentration was decreased and fouling resistance was enhanced. It is probably due to the increase in hydrophilicity and decrease in roughness of the membrane surface, as revealed by contact angle and AFM analysis.

1. 서론 : 한외여과(ultrafiltration; UF)는 장치 및 조작이 간단하고, 열의 사용없이 물질을 분리 정제를 할 수 있기 때문에 생물제품 등을 비롯한 거대분자들의 분리에 널리 활용되고 있다. 그러나 한외여과 공정의 운전시 가장 큰 문제점은 막에 의해 분리된 물질들이 필연적으로 막표면에 가역적으로 누적되는 농도분극(concentration polarization)과 이 누적된 물질이 막과의 상호작용에 의해 막표면에 비가역적으로 침적되는 막오염(membrane fouling)현상을 유발시킨다는 것이다. 일반적으로 한외여과는 막세공과 분리 대상물의 크기차에 의한 sieve effect에 의해 분리가 이루어지는데 막오염이 발생되면 세공의 일부 또는 전체가 막히게 되어 결국에는 투과선속(permeate flux)이 감소하고, 막의 세공분포가 달라져 막 본래의 분리성능에 변화가 초래된다.(생략)

김치산업에서 원재료의 염적공정중에 발생하는 폐염적수를 처리하여 염적공정에 재사용하는 새로운 시스템을 개발하였다. 관형 정밀여과막을 사용한 본 연구에서 막오염의 감소와 높은 막투과유속의 유지를 위하여 산역세척과 투과수역세척이 도입되었고 대상이 되었던 세공크기가 비슷한 4종류의 막(Carbosep M14, Membralox Z100, Membralox A200, Microdyne MD020TP 2N)에 대하여 역세척의 효율이 각각 다르게 나타났다. 특히 지르코니아 재질의 막 표면과 탄소재질의 지지체로 이루어진 Carbosep M14 세라믹막은 투과수역세척시에 역세척을 하지 않았을 때 보다 오히려 투과유속이 감소하는 특이한 현상이 관찰되었고 이러한 역세척 효율의 차이의 원인을 규명하기위한 연구가 진행되었다. 4종류의 막에 대하여 전처리된 폐염적수의 여과시 진행되는 막오염 메카니즘을 알아보기 위하여 문헌에서 잘 알려진 4가지의 여과모델식을 적용하여 보았고 직렬여과저항모델을 이용하여 여과저항을 세분하여 측정하였다. 모델식의 적용결과 역세척의 효율이 좋은 3종류의 막에는 막표면의 케이크형성이 주된 투과유속의 감소원인임을 알아내었고 carbosep M14 막은 용존유기물의 비가역적인 흡착과 세공막힘이 주된 원인임을 알 수 있었다.
