This research explored the feasibility of preparing and utilizing preformed polymeric solution of Fe(III) as coagulants for water treatment. The differentiation and quantification of hydrolytic Fe(III) species in coagulant was done by utilizing spectrophotometric method based on the interaction of Fe(III) with Ferron as a complexing agent. The properties of the synthesized polymeric iron chloride (PICl) showed that the quantity of polymeric Fe(III) produced at r = 1.5 was 20% of the total iron in solution, as showing maximum contents. Coagulation experiments were conducted under the condition of various coagulant doses and pH for each coagulant prepared. From the comparison of the characterization of coagulation for $FeCl_3$ (r = 0.0) and PICl (r = 0.5, 1.0, 1.5) coagulants, PICl (r = 0.5, 1.0, 1.5) coagulants was found to be more effective than other coagulant for the removal of organic matters. The experimental results for the coagulation tests at various pH ranges showed that the PICl was least affected by the coagulation pH and PICl was very effective for the removal of turbidity and organic materials over wide pH range (pH 4-9) tested.

The flocculation characteristics of polyacrylamide base flocculants were estimated to reduce the moisture content of the dehydrated cakes. The dewaterability for sewage sludge was found to have a marked effect depending on the flocculant type, agitating speed and time, kind of dissolution water, etc. The optimal agitating speed and time were 700 rpm and 3 sec, respectively, in this experimental condition. and the dewaterability was proportion to the agitating speed upto 700rpm. When recycle water as the dissolution water was used, the solution viscosity of all kind of flocculants was decreased. However, the change of its viscosity are not proportioned to the dewaterabilities for each flocculant. Flocculation system of combinations of the first and sencond flocculation using single flocculant was investigated. Effects of the ratio of first and second dosage for dual flocculation on the dewaterability were also investigated. The optimum conditions of dual flocculation system are 75% and 50% as first dosages for low and high viscous flocculant for total dosage of common flocculation, respectively. Based on the results, an overall mechanism of dual flocculation system is proposed and it is envisaged that optimization of flocculation processes in this way can result in considerable savings in cost.

During chlorination processes dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) can form toxic nitrogenous disinfection byproducts and organic chloramines which have little or no bactericidal activity. DON needs to be removed before chlorination processes to reduce the formation of those products. This study investigated the removal of DON from surface water and reclaimed water by coagulation with aluminum sulfate (alum) and a cationic polymer (polyDADMAC). Removal characteristics of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and ultraviolet absorbance at 254 nm ($UVA_{254}$) were compared with that of DON. Coagulation with alum removed DON, DOC, and $UVA_{254}$ with similar trends, but the removal of $UVA_{254}$ was highest. A dual coagulation strategy of alum and cationic polymer improved the removal of DON. Coagulation with cationic polymer alone was not effective due to its narrow range of charge neutralization. DON in reclaimed water was easier to remove than that in surface water, and higher molecular weight fraction (>10,000 Da) of DON was preferentially removed.

총인처리시설에서는 응집제를 주입하여 인이나 오염물질을 침전시켜 처리하고 있으며 PAC(poly aluminum chloride)나 $FeCl_3$, $Al_2(SO_4)_3$, 등 다양한 종류의 응집제가 사용되어지고 있다. 하지만 기존에 사용되어 지고 있는 알루미늄계열의 응집제는 처리수에 잔류이온이 존재하게 되어 인체에 축적돼 알츠하이머 병 등 신체질환을 유발할 수 있는 단점이 있다. 따라서 이러한 단점을 사전에 예방하기 위해 $TiCl_4$와 같은 티타늄계열 응집제에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. $TiCl_4$ 응집제는 인 제거에 효과적으로 적용할 수 있으며 수중에 잔류이온을 유발하지 않으며 Ti이온은 치과임플란트나 의료장비로 사용될 만큼 인체에 무해하다고 알려져 있다. 응집제 사용에 따라 생성된 응집슬러지의 처리방안에 있어서 기존 응집제의 경우 생성된 슬러지의 대부분은 하수슬러지 위탁처리업체를 통해 소각 및 매립, 재활용 되고 있으나, $TiCl_4$를 응집제로 사용할 경우 생성된 슬러지를 인발하여 건조 및 소성을 통해 이산화티타늄으로 재활용할 수 있어 슬러지를 친환경적으로 처리가 가능해 기존 슬러지 처리방안의 경제적, 환경적 부담을 줄일 수 있는 장점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 $TiCl_4$를 하수처리장 방류수에 주입하여 수중의 총인(T-P)을 처리한 후 생성된 슬러지를 인발하여 건조와 소성과정을 거쳐 이산화티타늄을 제조하였다. 방류수를 취수해 2.5mg/L의 초기 총인 농도를 가진 원수를 제조하였으며 제조된 원수에 $TiCl_4$를 0.6mL 주입하였을 때 99.93%의 총인제거효율을 얻을 수 있었다. 응집 실험 후 생성된 슬러지를 인발하여 건조 후 $300{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$의 각각 다른 온도조건에서 소성하여 이산화티타늄을 제조하였으며, SEM과 XRD를 통해 제조된 이산화티타늄의 표면특성과 결정성 분석을 실시하였다. 제조된 이산화티타늄은 $500{\sim}800^{\circ}C$에서는 아나타제, $900{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$에서는 루타일 결정구조가 나타났다. 또한, $TiCl_4$ 주입량에 따른 이산화티타늄의 최종 생산량과 제조 시 사용되는 건조로 및 소성로의 경제적 비용 등을 고려하여 이산화티타늄 1Ton을 제조하기 위해 필요한 단가를 산출하였다. 본 연구에서 제조된 이산화티타늄 1kg의 생산단가는 약 5,400원으로 나타났으며, 가장 많이 사용되는 P-25 광촉매 보다 저렴한 가격으로 제조 및 판매를 기대할 수 있다. 따라서 하수처리장에 적용 시 기존 응집제 보다 비싼 $TiCl_4$ 비용을 보완하고 친환경적인 슬러지 처리로 제조된 이산화티타늄의 유통 및 현장적용을 통해 경제적, 환경적으로 우수하다고 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 유류오염토양 세척유출수내 미세토사의 효율적 제거를 위한 최적의 방안 및 적용 운전 조건을 도출하고자 하였다. 응집제를 주입하지 않은 blank 실험결과, 광운대학교 토양 세척유출수는 pH 7～12의 범위에서 65～75%의 효율을 나타내었고, 우이천 하천퇴적 토양 세척유출수는 pH 7～11의 범위에서 30% 안팎의, pH 12에서는 70% 정도의 낮은 효율을 나타내었다. pH 13에서는 두 가지 세척유출수에서 각각 91%, 85%의 효율을 나타내었다. 응집ㆍ침전 실험 결과, 광운대학교 토양 세척유출수는 FeC13, alum, PAC을 적용하였을 때 대체로 99% 이상의 효율을 보였으나, PAM을 적용하였을 때는 pH 13에서만 약 95%의 효율을 보였을 뿐 pH 7～12의 범위에서는 50～70%의 낮은 효율을 보였다. 우이천 하천퇴적 토양 세척유출수는 alum과 PAC을 적용하였을 때 대체로 90% 이상의 효율을 나타내었으나, FeC13와 PAM을 적용하였을 때는 pH 13일 경우에서만 98%이상의 효율을 보였을 뿐 다른 pH조건에서는 대체로 60%이하의 효율을 보였다. 두 가지 세척유출수에 대하여 높은 효율을 보인 alum과 PAC의 경제성을 비교해본 결과 같은 양의 세척유출수를 응집처리 할 경우 PAC에 비하여 alum을 적용하였을 때 적은 비용이 소요되었다. 따라서 alum이 효율성과 경제성에서 가장 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

객체지향 패러다임에서 응집도가 높은 클래스들은 단 하나의 데이터 요소만이 정의되고 모든 메소드(또는 연산)들이 그 데이터 요소 상에서 수행되거나, 메소드와 데이터 요소간에 최대연결이 이루어진 클래스이다. 따라서 데이터 요소의 증가와 최대연결을 저해하는 연산들은 클래스의 응집을 저해하는 주 요인들이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 저해요인들에 근거하여, 응집도에 관한 우리의 직관과 더욱 일치하는 측정을 할 수 있는 새로운 클래스 응집도 척도인 CM(Cohesion Metric)을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서는 응집도를 저해하는 요인의 식별을 위해 참조 그래프(reference graph)를 이용하고, 참조 그래프의 분석을 기초로 하여 클래스의 응집도를 측정하였다. 또한 제한된 CM 측정값이 응집도 척도가 만족해하는 특성들을 만족함을 보였고, 기존 응집도 척도들과의 비교평가를 통해서 CM이 기존의 척도들보다 향상된 측정을 제시함을 보였다.

The study of flocculation kinetics is of fundamental interest in the field of water treatment, because rational study of the factors affecting the coagulation process should be based on the rate of particle growth. The effect of sulfate on flocculation kinetics were examined using ferric nitrate as a coagulant to coagulate kaolin clay in water under several experimental conditions. Both the particle size distribution data obtained from the AIA and the on-line measurement of turbidity fluctuation by the PDA were used to measure flocculation kinetics. Results show that sulfate ion added to the kaolin suspension played an important role in the flocculation process, not only improving flocculation kinetics at more acidic pH levels but also changing surface charge of particles. The kinetics of flocculation were improved mainly by the enhanced rate and extent of Fe(III) precipitation attributed to the addition of sulfate, and thereby, better interparticle collision frequency, but little by the charge reductions resulting from the sulfate addition. The increase in sulfate concentration beyond $3\times10^{-4}M (up to 2\times10^{-3}M)$ did not induce further improvement in flocculation kinetics, although the higher concentrations of sulfate ion substantially increased the negative ZP value of particles. Key Words : Flocculation Kinetics, Fe(III) Coagulant, Sulfate ion, Turbidity Fluctuation.

The objectives of this study are to examine the applicability of waste slurry from soda ash manufacturing industries as a coagulant for the treatment of wastewater containing fine silica particles, and to reduce the cost of wastewater treatment containing silica. Acceptable water quality can be obtained with a little dosing of waste slurry by gelation before the coagulation process so it could be concluded that the waste slurry from soda ash can be used as a coagulant. Based on the results of experiments, the optimum pH of gelation for silica in wastewater was around five and the treatment process with the gelation of silica could reduce the chemical dosage and waste sludge after coagulation. Dewatering and settling characteristics of the floc after coagulation with the waste slurry are better than those of the floc after coagulation with the lime milk only.

Coal-fired power plants use coal as the main raw material, and when a coal is moved, a dust generation and spontaneous ignition of coal occur. To prevent this, water is sprayed. As a result, wastewater called "coal-dust water" flows out of coal dust and water mixed together, causing environmental pollution. In this study, in order to solve this problem, we developed a natural flocculant that can purify water by aggregating fine dust using chitosan and tried to prove its applicability. It was found that the optimum flocculation concentration was 4 ppm by adding various concentrations of flocculant to the coal-dust water, and it was confirmed that the developed material had very good coal-dust flocculation capacity through permeability and coal-dust removal efficiency. In addition, the cytotoxicity of the flocculant was evaluated through the MTT assay and it was found that there is no toxicity at all. We believe that the flocculant developed in this study can effectively adsorb coal-dust without affecting human and natural ecosystems.

In this study, finite element analyses of crack propagation along a sinusoidal interface are performed by using cohesive elements. BK law is used for cohesive zone to consider mixed mode traction-separation relation at the crack tip on a sinusoidal interface of a double cantilever beam specimen. The shape of a sinusoidal interface crack and the cohesive strength and the cohesive energies in mixed mode cohesive laws are varied in numerical experiments, and load-displacement curves at the ends of a double cantilever beam specimen are obtained to investigate the crack propagation behavior along a sinusoidal interface.
