This study is focused on manganese (Mn(II)) removal by ozonation in surface water. Instant ozone demand for the water was 0.5 mg/L in the study. When 0.5 mg/L of Mn(II) is existed in water, the optimum ozone concentration was 1.25 mg/L with reaction time 10 minutes to meet the drinking water regulation. The ozone concentration to meet the drinking water regulation was much higher than the stoichiometric concentration. The reaction of soluble manganese removal was so fast that the reaction time does not affect the removal dramatically. When Mn(II) is existed with Fe, the removal of Mn(II) was not affected by Fe ion. However As(V) is existed as co-ion the removal of Mn(II) was decreased by 10%. Adding ozone to surface water has limited effect to remove dissolved organic matter. When ozone is used as oxidant to remove Mn(II) in the water, the existing co-ion should be evaluated to determine optimum concentration.

In this study, we made low temperature plasma reactor in order to treat safely $NO_x$ which included in the gas. We investigated experimently and inspected efficiency characteristics of equipment about flow rate of reactant material and discharge input power which supplied into reactor. As a reaction gas, by using mixture gas of $NO/N_2$ and $N_2/O_2$, we setted up initial NO concentration and supplied the speed of a current to 1~4 l/min. When the amount of flow increased, reduction rate of NO was low. Also when discharge input power was high, decomposition of NO was easy. Also the longer delay time of reaction material and the higher discharge input power was, the higher decomposition energy efficiency was. And when the amount of flow was much, and the more discharge input power increased, the more ozone generated.

A 6-year-old castrated male Shih-tzu was presented because of a 1-month history of progressive tetraplegia. On the basis of the findings of neurological examination, radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging, herniated intervertebral disc of C4-C5, C5-C6 and C6-C7 compressed spinal cord. The oxygen-ozone was intra-operatively injected into the C4-C5 and C6-C7 intervertebral disc and a ventral decompression performed at C5-C6 intervertebral space. Immediately after the surgery, neck pain was disappeared and three weeks after surgery, there was complete resolution of the neurological deficits with normal gaits. On magnetic resonance images at 2-month after surgery, herniated disc materials of C5-C6 and C6-C7 were completely removed and that of C4-C5 remarkably reduced. Consequently decompression which was performed at all of the three lesions resulted in good clinical outcome without additional internal fixation for minimizing postoperative instability.

The well-known mixed-acid process for the aromatic nitration requires subsequent separation of spent acid, mainly dilute sulfuric acid. A novel nitration process using $HNO_3-NO_2-O_3$ was tested in a small pilot scale with 3 mol of p-nitrotoluene. Nitrogen dioxide(14.3 mol) was added three times in parts into the solution of p-nitrotoluene and $HNO_3$(6 mol) in dichloroethane. The nitration proceeded to more than 97% conversion within 5.5 h using 0.871 mol/h of ozone. As a clean process of aromatic nitration, this method is expected to replace the present process which causes the environmental problems.

The injection of ozone, produced by dielectric barrier discharge, into the exhaust gas gives rise to a rapid oxidation of NO that is the main component of nitrogen oxides($NO_x$) in most practical exhaust gases. Once NO is converted into $NO_2$, it on readily be reduced to $N_2$ in the next step by a reducing agent such as sodium sulfide and sodium sulfite. The reducing agents used ca also remove $SO_2$ effectively, which makes it possible to treat $NO_x\;and\;SO_2$ simultaneously. The present two-step process made up of an ozonizing chamber and an absorber containing a reducing agent solution was able to remove about 95% of the $NO_x$ and 100% of the $SO_2$, initially contained in the simulated exhaust gas. The formation of $H_2S$ from sodium sulfide was prevented by using a strong basic reagent(NaOH) together with the reducing agent. The removal of $NO_x$\;and\;SO_2$ was more effective for $Na_2S$ than $Na_2SO_3$.

최근 들어, 열악한 실내 공기 환경과 미세 먼지의 유입으로 아토피 피부염, 알레르기성 비염 및 천식 등의 감염성 질환이 증가하고 있다. 따라서, 공기 중 병원균(Airborne pathogens)을 친환경적으로 제거하는 기술이 요구되고 있는 추세이다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 시스템은 물을 이용하여 플라즈마를 발생시키는 시스템이다. 기존 플라즈마를 이용한 공기 정화 장치는 공기를 사용하여 플라즈마를 발생시키므로 오존과 같은 인체에 유해한 물질들이 발생되는 문제점이 있다. 하지만, 본 연구에서는 물을 사용하여 플라즈마를 발생시키므로 활성 라디칼들이 포함된 물을 미스트 형태로 분사하여 인체에 무해하며, 대기 중 병원균 살균이 가능한 장점이 있다. 물 플라즈마 젯 분사장치는 전원 공급 장치, 플라즈마 전극 그리고 플라즈마 노즐로 이루어져 있으며 주입되는 물을 기반으로 플라즈마를 발생시킨다. 장치의 특성을 분석하기 위하여, 오실로스코프로 전압 및 전류를 측정하였고 적정법을 이용하여 생성되는 활성 라디칼들의 농도를 측정하였다. 또한 살균 능력을 평가하기 위하여 병원균 중 대표적으로 대장균을 배양하여 살균 실험을 수행하였으며, 결과적으로 90% 이상의 대장균이 사멸하는 것을 확인하였다.

질소산화물은 천연가스, 석유, 석탄과 같은 화석연료 연소 시에 배출되는 대표적 오염물질로 산성비를 유발시키며, 오존, PAN, aldehyde와 같은 광화학 산화물을 형성하여 광화학 스모그를 유발한다. 따라서 NOx 제어의 필요성은 더욱 강조되고 있다. NOx 처리 공정 중 대표적인 SNCR(Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction)공정은 N-계열 시약(환원제)을 노내의 온도가 90$0^{\circ}C$에서 110$0^{\circ}C$인 구역으로 주입하여 NOx가 복잡한 단위반응들을 거쳐서 N2와 $H_2O$로 분해되는 저감기술의 하나로서 초기 설치비가 저렴하고 단기간에 쉽게 설치 가능한 기술이지만, 대부분 외국기술의 도입에 의존하고 있는 실정이므로 국내개발을 필요로 한다.

The treatment performance of ozonation and three types of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) such as $O_3/H_2O_2$, $O_3/UV$, $O_3/H_2O_2/UV$ was experimentally investigated for the treatment of refractory synthetic dye wastewater. The removal efficiency of $COD_{cr}$, color and biodegradability ($BOD_5/COD_{cr}$) were relatively evaluated in each treatment unit with simulated dye wastewater. Optimal operational conditions of pH, temperature, dosage and circulation flow rate were also investigated. All suggested processes revealed an effectiveness for the removal of color within a short operational time, moreover, $O_3/H_2O_2/UV$ process showed the highest $COD_{cr}$ removal and biodegradability enhancement among proposed oxidation process.

The main objectives of this research program were to study the ozonation characteristics of phenol wastewater in the continuous packed colamn reactor(PCR) and the bubble column reactor (BCR) using ozone and to provide the fundamentals of ozonizing the phenol wastewater. Among various influencing factors that affect on phenol decomposition through the oxidation by ozone, contacting method, and ozone flow rate were chosen as reaction parameters. The results were obtained from two different types of contacting methods where the countercurrent flow was more efficient than the cocurrent flow in both the phenol removal efficiency and the ozone utilization efficiency. Furthermore, PCR showed the phenol removal efficiency 1.6 to 3% higher than that of BCR in both contacting methods, as well as the ozone utilization efficiency, suggesting that the countercurrent flow is more efficient than the cocurrent flow. The phenol removal efficiency and the ozone utilization efficiency were reduced in both reactors as the influent ozone flow rate increased. Upon varing flow rate from 0.5l/min to 2.0 l/min by 0.5 l/min, the phenol removal efficiency was reduced approximately from 8.5% to 10.5% and the ozone utilization efficiency was reduced approximately from 6% to 8% in both reactors. The performance of PCR was superior to that of BCR in the aspects of phenol removal and ozone utilization efficiency.

Various wastewater treatment technologies were applied for decolorization and disposal of the wastewater containing the pigments, which consist of Lake Red C(Barium) or/and Lithol Rubine(Calcium) pigments. In an application of ozonation $COD_{Mn}$ was generally decreased with an increase of amounts of ozone applied, however, the decolorization effect was not that good except for Lithol Rubine series. In an application of Fenton oxidation and electrochemical process, a good $COD_{Mn}$ removal effect for all the pigment wastewater and a slight decolorization effect for a part of Lithol Rubine series were observed. In an application of ultra filtration(UF) and reverse osmosis(RO), an excellent $COD_{Mn}$ removal and decolorization(almost 100%) effects of all the pigment wastewater were observed. Thus the water treated by the UF and RO could be reusable and thus save operating costs of the pigment manufacturing plants.
