The objectives of this research are to (1) observe changes in particle size distribution due to formation of microflocs during coagulation process (2) identify the membrane fouling potential on cross flow system (3) investigate the mechanism of membrane fouling. The rate of flux decline for the hydrophobic membrane was significantly greater than for the hydrophilic membrane, regardless of pretreatment conditions. The pretreatment of the raw water significantly reduced the fouling of the UF membrane. Also, the rate of flux decline for the hydrophobic membrane was considerably greater than for the hydrophilic membrane. Applying coagulation process before membrane filtration showed not only reducing membrane fouling, but also improving the removal of dissolved organic materials that might otherwise not be removed by the membrane. That is, during the mixing period, substantial changes in particle size distribution occurred under rapid and slow mixing condition due to the simultaneous formation of microflocs and NOM precipitates. Therefore, combined pretreatment using coagulation not only improved dissolved organics removal efficiency but also flux recovery efficiency.

We present the static and dynamic light scattering results of the salt induced restructured colloidal silica aggregates. We also report the results from the transmission electron micrographs which confirms the individual sizes of the particles and the local structure of the ramified aggregates. The fractal dimensions of the restructuring silica aggregates are considerably different with in-situ light scattering measurements. The measured fractal dimensions, $D_{F}$, is 2.21 for the 0.5 wt.% concentration of the salt induced Ludox-AM. The Rayleigh linewidth for 0.1 wt.% concentration of Ludox-AM is discussed.

Membrane fouling in EC-MBR (Electro-Coagulation aided Membrane Bio-Reactor) processes was evaluated according to the operating parameters, such as current density and contact time. In addition, the fouling mechanism was investigated. Compared to the control (i.e., no electro-coagulation), membrane fouling for filtration of the activated sludge suspension after electro-coagulation was reduced significantly. Membrane fouling was improved further when the contact time was doubled under a low current density of $2.5A/m^2$. On the other hand, membrane fouling was not mitigated further, as expected, even though the contact time was doubled from 12 to 24 hr. at a current density of $10A/m^2$. This indicates that the overall decrease in membrane fouling is a function of the product of the current density and contact time. The particle size of the activated sludge flocs after electro-coagulation was changed slightly, which means that the membrane fouling reduction was not attributed to a larger particle size resulting from electro-coagulation. The experimental confirmed that the dynamic membrane made from aluminum hydroxide, Al(OH)3, and/or aluminum phosphate, Al(PO4), which had been formed during the electro-coagulation, played a key role on the reduction of membrane fouling. The dynamic membrane prevents the particles in the feed solution from deposition to the membrane pores and cake layers. Dynamic membrane formation as a result of electro-coagulation plays a critical role in the mitigation of membrane fouling in EC-MBR.

This study was to investigate the settling velocity which is an important factor for the prediction of cohesive deposition under the various densities of particle and dissolved ion addition$(Na^+,\;Cl^-,\;OH^-,\;H^+)$ in rivers, ports, reservoirs and lakes. Settling velocity of suspended fine particles in still water was measured with a pressure sensor (maximum 10 mbar). At the initial concentration of 20g/l of alumina and quartz the average settling velocities were high due to the aggregation behaviour of particles. At this point it was 0.185 mm/s (alumina) and 0.022 mm/s (quartz). Above this initial concentration it was on the decrease owing to the hindered settling. The higher the salinity is, the faster the settling velocity of alumina and quartz is. Furthermore, in an acid condition the average settling velocity of alumina was on the decrease. In an alkaline water, which causes strong flocculation, the average settling velocity of alumina it was observed on the increase. However, in an alkaline medium the low average settling velocity of quartz powder was measured.

The differences in the electron microscopic fine structures of the wing imaginal discs of the vestigial (vg), wing mutant and wild type of Drosophila melanogaster were investigated. The materials used in this study were collected at ten hours intervals from the late third instar larvae of the both stocks. The fine structural changes during differentiation were as follows: 1. In wild type lipid droplets were coalesced and converted to glycogen, while no changes were observed in the mutatn vestigial. 2. Degeneration of the cells by phagocytosis were observed not only from the mutatn vestigial, but from the wild type. However, degenerative feature of the wild type was poor. 3. Dented structures of tracheole showed little differences between wild type and the mutant vestigial. But the tracheole diameter of the wild type became wider in the course of differentiation, while the mutant vestigial narrow. Although mutant vestigial develops normally during early embryogenesis, the late third instar larvae shows defficiency in gluconeogenesis, converting fatty acid to glycogen. This, together with the predominant cell degeneration by phagocytosis and poorly developed tracheole, seems to effect on the expression of the vestigial phenotype.

In dual-polycide-gate structure with butting contact, net doping concentration of polysilicon was decreased due to overlap between $n^+$ and $p^+$ and lateral dopant diffusion in silicide/polysilicon layers. The generation of parasitic Schottky diode in butting contact region is attributed both to the $CoSi_2$-loss due to $CoSi_2$ agglomeration and to the decrease in net doping concentration of polysilicon layer. Parasitic Schottky diode reduces noise margin of sense amplifier in DDI DRAM, which causes column fail. The column fail could be reduced by physical isolation of $n^+/p^+$ polysilicon junction or suppressing $CoSi_2$ agglomeration by using nitrogen implantation into $p^+$ polysilicon before $CoSi_2$ formation.

재접힘 고체상 재접힘은 높은 재현성을 보였으며 고체상 재접힘된 단백질은 Native와 같은 구조를 형성하였다. 따라서 이 연구는 고체상 재접힘 방법이 분자간의 상호작용을 억제하는 것이 응집현상을 탈피하게된 결과 일 것이라는 것에 의해 재접힘 수율을 높일 수 있다고 기대한다.

The coagulation of anionic colloidal particles by the cyanoguanidine(CG)-formaldehyde resin has been reported to be caused by an electrostatic interaction of the diaminomethylene urea (DU) cation with an anionic surface charge of particles. In this research, 100~500 nm sized cationic cyanoguanidine-formaldehyde resin was synthesized to coagulate anionic dye wastewater, and the results showed that the less pH of aqueous cyanoguanidine-formaldehyde resin solution was, the higher Zeta potential of that was. In case of coagulating 0.4 g/L reactive dye by cyanoguanidine-formaldehyde resin at pH 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11, COD removal and the percent decolorization of synthetic dye wastewater at pH 3 are higher than those of other pH conditions. The COD removal and the percent decolorization of synthetic dye wastewater were 74% and 90% at 400 ppm, pH 3.

석탄회의 재활용율을 높이고자 비가소성 원료인 석탄회를 첨가한 슬립 및 고형화 소지의 유동학적 고찰을 하였고, 이들을 이용하여 주입성형 후 소성한 시편의 물성들을 측정하였다. 석탄회가 50wt.%이상 대체된 슬립의 경우 해교 기구는 점토내 입자의 정전기적 반발력 보다는 석탄회에 포함된 cenosphere 입자표면의 물유리 흡착에 의한 steric stabilization에 의한 것으로 판단되었다. 응집된 슬립은 전형적인 thixotrophy 현상을 나타내는 반면 분산후 재응집된 슬립은 점도가 계속 증가하는 겔화현상을 나타내어 망목구조를 갖는 성형체를 제조할 수 있었다. 석탄회 대체율 50wt.%의 소성체에서 가장 우수한 물성치를 얻을 수 있었으며, 대체율 70wt.%까지의 주입성형이 가능하였다.
