The purpose of this study was to find the transformation of organic matter as well as chlorine by product formation potential with ozone dosage. The removal percents of $UV_{254}$ and DOC were $23%{\sim}65%$ and $2%{\sim}15%$ and THMFP and HAAFP were $17%{\sim}52%$ and $9%{\sim}29%$ respectively at $0.5{\sim}3\;mgO_3/mgDOC$ ozone dosage. The hydrophobic and transphobic organic matter were reduced to $37%{\sim}68%$ and $35%{\sim}64%$, on the other hand the hydrophilir organic matter was increased to $40%{\sim}49%$ at $0.5{\sim}3\;mgO_3/mgDOC$ ozone dosage. The produced THMFP and HAAFP from the hydrophobic and transphilic organic matter were decreased greatly with increasing ozone dosage but these by products were increased in the hydrophilic matter. The produced THMFP and HAAFP per unit DOC were decreased and reactivity was reduced greatly with increasing crone dosage. The removal rate of THMFP per unit DOC was much higher than HAAFP by ozone treatment. The Br-THMFP per unit DOC was much more removed than chloroformFP per unit DOC with increasing ozone dosage. and The removal rate of TCAAFP per unit DOC was increased with increasing ozone dosage but TCAAFP was not affected by ozone treatment. Br-HAAFP was decreased at $1\;mgO_3/mgDOC$ ozone dosage but was not more removed above $1\;mgO_3/mgDOC$ ozone dosage. Br-HAAFP had lower removal effect than Br-THMFP by ozone treatment. The optimal ozone dosage can be determined about $1\;mgO_3/mgDOC$ by considering both disinfection by product formation and economical efficiency.

In this study, five different odor causing compounds in the Nakdong river and rapid sand filtered waters were treated by oxidation from $O_3/H_2O_2$ process. In addition, the change in BDOC formation by the $O_3/H_2O_2$ process was also investigated for considering this advanced oxidation Process as a pre-treatment to the BAC treatment process. The experimental result showed that the removal efficiency of geosmin was higher with the use of 5 mg/L of $O_3$ and 0.2 mg/L of $H_2O_2$ than with the use of 20 mg/L of $O_3$ alone for the sand filtered water. And in general, the removal efficiency of geosmin in raw water was $12{\sim}27%$ lower than the one in sand filtered water. In sand filtered water. the removal efficiencies of geosmin and IPMP decreased when $H_2O_2/O_3$ ratio increases above the optimum ratio. The optimum ratio of $H_2O_2/O_3$ dose was $0.5{\sim}1.0$ for geosmin and $0.2{\sim}1.0$ for IPMP. However, the optimum ratio of $H_2O_2/O_3$ in raw water remove geosmin appealed to $1.0{\sim}3.0$. According to the experimental results for the removal of 5 different odor causing compounds under varied $O_3$ doses, the removal efficiency of IPMP was the highest with 60% and, in overall, $O_3/H_2O_2$ process showed higher removal efficiency than $O_3$ alone process. The BDOC formation by the $O_3/H_2O_2$ process increased from $0.1{\sim}0.25$ to $0.19{\sim}0.34$ comparing to $O_3$ process alone. Therefore, it is concluded that the advanced oxidation process with $O_3/H_2O_2$ can be used as a pretreatment to the BAC treatment process.

In this study, three different synthetic musk compounds (SMCs) in the Nakdong river water (raw water) and rapid sand filtered water were treated by $O_3$ process. The experimental results showed that the removal efficiency of musk ketone (MK) was lower than removal efficiency of AHTN (7-acetyl-1,1,3,4,4,6-hexamethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene) and HHCB (1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-4,6,6,7,8,8-hexamethylcyclopenta[c]-2-benzopyran) for both the raw water and the rapid sand filtered water. And in general, the removal efficiencies of three SMCs in the raw water were lower than that in the sand filtered water. Under the $O_3$ dose of 0.5~10.0 mg/L, the removal rate constants (k) of three SMCs for the raw and sand filtered waters increased rapidly with the increased $O_3$ dose. In the case of drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) which were selected pre- and post-$O_3$ processes (located in the downstream of Nakdong River), operation conditions of pre- and post-$O_3$ process were $0.5{\sim}2.0mg{\cdot}O_3/L$ (2~4 min) and $0.5{\sim}2.5mg{\cdot}O_3/L$ (6~8 min). Therefore, $O_3$ doses and contact times of same conditions with above were very difficult to remove SMCs in DWTPs.

Unpleasant tastes and odors in drinking water cause same problems for water utilities across Korea. Even though tastes and odors do not create health problems, they are main concerns for consumers who determine the safety of their drinking water. In this study, two different odor producing compounds(geosmin 2-MIB) in the Nakdong river water and rapid sand filtered rater were treated by advanced oxidation of $O_3/H_2O_2$ process. The experimental results showed that the removal efficiency of geosmin with the use of 5 mg/L of $O_3$ and $H_2O_2$ was higher than efficiency with the use of $O_3$ alone for both the raw water and the sand filtered water. And in general, the removal efficiency of geosmin was higher than 2-MIB in the sand filtered water. Under the range of $O_3$ concentration $0.5\sim2.0$ mg/L, the removal rate constants(k) of geosmin for the raw and sand filtered waters, and the one of 2-MIB in the sand filtered water were increased rapidly as doses of $O_3$, and $H_2O_2$, increased. The removal rate constants(k) do not increase any more when $H_2O_2/O_3$ ratio increases above the optimum ratio. The optimum ratio of $H_2O_2/O_3$, dose was $1.0\sim2.0$ for both geosmin and 2-MIB. The removal rate constant(k) becomes lower when OH radical consuming materials are present in raw water. The half-life of geosmin decreased rapidly as the $O_3$ and $H_2O_2$ doses increase in the sand filtered water. The half life decreased about 8.5 times with the use of 2 mg/L of $O_3$ and 10 mg/L of $H_2O_2$ than with the use of 2 mg/L of $O_3$ alone for the sand filtered water.

In this present study, we quantified the $SO_2$ effect on $O_3$ retrieval from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) measurement. The difference between OMI-Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) and OMI-Differential Optical Absorption Spectrometer (DOAS) total $O_3$ is calculated in high $SO_2$ volcanic plume on several volcanic eruptions (Anatahan, La Cumbre, Sierra Negra, and Piton) from 2005 through 2008. There is a certain correlation ($R{\geq}0.5$) between the difference and $OMI-SO_2$ in volcanic plumes and the significant difference close to 100 DU. The high $SO_2$ condition found to affect TOMS $O_3$ retrieval significantly due to a strong $SO_2$ absorption at the TOMS $O_3$ retrieval wavelengths. Besides, we calculated the difference against various $SO_2$ levels. There is the considerable difference (average = 32.9 DU; standard deviation = 13.5 DU) in the high $OMI-SO_2$ condition ($OMI-SO_2{\geq}7.0DU$). We also found that the rate of change in the difference per 1.0 DU change in middle troposphere (TRM) and upper troposphere and stratosphere (STL) $SO_2$ columns are 3.9 DU and 4.9 DU, respectively.

In order to evaluate a removal characteristic of chloramphenicol, salicylic acid and ketoprofen according to dose of oxidants, $Cl_2$, $O_3$ and $O_3/H_2O_2$ are used as oxidants in this study. In case of that $Cl_2$ is used for oxidizing harmaceuticals, chloramphenicol, salicylic acid and ketoprofen is not removed entirely at $Cl_2$ dose rang of 0.5~5.0 mg/L for 60 min. However, removal tendency of salicylic acid is so obviously at $Cl_2$ dose higher than 1.0 mg/L. In addition, as $Cl_2$ dose and contact time increase, the removal rate of salicylic acid is enhanced. When $O_3$ is used as oxidant, chloramphenicol and ketoprofen is not eliminated at $O_3$ dose range of 0.2~2.0 mg/L. On the contrary, 30~70% of salicylic acid is removed at $O_3$ dose of 1.0~5.0 mg/L. Only 30% removal of salicylic acid is achieved at contact time of 5 min, however, the removal rate is enhanced remarkably at contact time over 10 min. In experiments using $O_3/H_2O_2$ as an oxidant, we can find that $O_3/H_2O_2$ is much more effective than $O_3$ only for removal of 3 pharmaceuticals, and the efficiency is raised according to increase of $H_2O_2$ dose. On reaction rate constant and half-life of 3 pharmaceuticals depending on $Cl_2$, $O_3$ and $O_3/H_2O_2$ dose, experiments using $O_3/H_2O_2$ show that oxidation of pharmaceuticals is less effective as the $H_2O_2/O_3$ ratio increases to above pproximately 1.0 related to reaction rate constant. An oxidation of salicylic acid by $Cl_2$ and $O_3$ particularly has a comparatively high reaction rate constant comparing $O_3/H_2O_2$, and thus salicylic acid is easily eliminated in oxidation processes.

The formation characteristics of $BDOC_{rapid}$ and $BDOC_{slow}$ with different ozone dosages for 3 different kinds of waters from Maeri raw water in the down stream of Nakdong river, Hoidong reservoir water in Busan City and treated Maeri raw water(sand filtered) has been investigated in this study. The ozone dosages for producing maximum $BDOC_{total}$ in the Maeri raw water, Hoidong reservoir water and sand filtered water of Maeri were 0.9, 1.1 and 1.4 $mgO_3$/mgDOC respectively. It could be concluded that the ozone dosages for formations of maximum $BDOC_{total}$ were determined by characteristics of water. The ozone dosages for producing maximum $BDOC_{rapid}$ in the Maeri raw water, Hoidong reservoir water and sand filtered water of Maeri were 0.9, 0.9 and 1.0 $mgO_3$/mgDOC respectively that were same or lower than the used ozone dosages for producing maximum $BDOC_{total}$. $BDOC_{slow}$ was being formated and increased continuously with the higher ozone dosages which were the used ozone dosages for maximum formation of $BDOC_{total}$ and $BDOC_{rapid}$. For the best results of a pre-treatment of biofiltration, the optimum ozone dosage ranges in formation of $BDOC_{rapid}/BDOC_{total}$ were $0.6{\sim}1.0\;mgO_3$/mgDOC that were lower than the ozone dosage ranges of $0.9{\sim}1.4\;mgO_3$/mgDOC for the maximum formation $BDOC_{total}$. The reported results indicated that the best and effective ways from economic and technical points of view to determine the optimum ozone dosages of the pretreatment of biofilteration process were investigating and classifying BDOC.

This study was conducted with the experiment of solubilisation of excess sludge by microbubble ozone process. To improve ozone contact efficiency, microbubble ozones which its diameter were the avearge 30 ${\mu}m$, microbubble size less than 40 ${\mu}m$ occupied about over 90% of all. In treating sludge using microbubble ozones, in case microbubble ozones are injected at microbubble ozone dosage of 0.34 g $O_3/g$ SS or less regardless of sludge concentration, microbubble ozone consumption rate was found to be 100% with no emission of waste ozones. In treating sludges by each concentration, in case the initial SS concentration of sludge is set to 6,447 mg/L, 5,557 mg/L, 3,180 mg/L, 1,092 mg/L and 515 mg/L, the amount of removed SS tended to increase with increase in initial SS concentration for the same microbubble ozone dosage, and treatment of sludge with high initial SS concentration was effective in raising the oxidation efficiency of microbubble ozones. On the other hand, as a result of reviewing acid, alkali and microbubble ozone treatment as composite treatment of sludge, use of acid treatment for the pre-treatment of microbubble ozone was more effective than alkali treatment, and in case of treatment at microbubble ozone dosage 0.05g $O_3/g$ SS with the concentration of sulfuric acid infused in the sludge, the amount of removed SS, 153.9 g, was 1.9 times more than 81.2 g the amount of single treatment of microbubble ozone.

$In_2O_3$-based thick films for the ozone detection of ppb range have been investigated. The $In_2O_3$ sensing layer is quite sensitive to ozone, but the saturated stable sensitivity cannot be obtained at the ozone exposure of 100 ppb for 5 min. The addition of $Fe_2O_3$ into $In_2O_3$ indicates some improvement in response time and sensitivity, but it seems the improvement is not good enough for real applications. Firing of $In_2O_3$:$Fe_2O_3$ powder induces remarkable improvement in response and recovery, although the sensitivity decrease. The sensing layer fired at $1300^{\circ}C$ and operated $550^{\circ}C$ shows excellent properties of fast response time, saturated stable sensitivity and rapid recovery characteristics to 100 ppb ozone exposure for 5 min. Especially, it shows the reproducibility of the sensor signal for repeated measurements and the linearity between the ozone concentration and the sensor resistance. The preliminary results clearly demonstrated that the sensor can be successfully applied for the ozone detection of ppb range.
