Epoxy resins are produced by the dehydro condensated reaction with ECH (Epichlorohydrin) and BPA(Bisphenol-A) as raw reactants under sodium hydroxide(NaOH) as a catalyst, and from this reaction, salted water named of brine, which contains ECH derivatives in condition of emulsion as likely as glycidol and polymer resins, is produced as an undesired side product. This brine water is alkaline wastewater and causes process fouling problems by plugging and chemically depositing polymer particles on the surface of inner wall of reactors and pipes, and decreases the biodegradable efficiency in the wastewater process. In this study, the optimization of coagulation and sediment reactions, using inorganic and organic polymer coagulants, were performed to remove the causes occurring the process fouling phenomena. And also, based on this study, the methodologies applicable to the commercial processes including economical analysis were presented.

The objective of this study was to investigate the performance characteristics of an inline mixing and coagulation system for water treatment based on the process intensification concept. Three-stage inline mixing and coagulation system was composed of the reservoirs of source wastewater, the fixed quantity injection pumps of coagulants, the mixing and coagulation tubes, a sedimentation tank and a control panel. In the equal dosage of coagulant and coagulant aids, the turbidity removal with increasing the dosage of coagulant aids was about 3 times higher than that with increasing the dosage of coagulant. In the condition of the equal mixing and coagulation time, the turbidity removal of inline mixing and coagulation system was about 4.6 times higher than that of mechanical type.

This study investigated removal of radionuclides (Cs, Sr) in surface water by coagulation and precipitation. Jar tests were conducted with various chemical and natural coagulants to remove the stabilized radionuclides ($^{133}Cs$, $^{88}Sr$). Chemical coagulants included aluminum sulfate, poly aluminum chloride, and poly aluminum hydroxide chloride silicate (PACS); natural coagulants (minerals) included illite and zeolite. Chemical coagulant alone could achieve removals of Cs and Sr less than 10%; The removals increased up to 23.1% for Cs and 17.8% for Sr with addition of poly-dimethyldiallylammonium chloride (polyDADMAC) along with the chemical coagulants. Compared with chemical coagulants, natural coagulants (minerals) could achieve higher removals of Cs and Sr. Addition of zeolite along with PACS and polyDADMAC increased the removal rates up to 36.9% for Cs and 17.1% for Sr.

Ultra Rapid Coagulation (URC) can dramatically remove pollutants loaded in wastewater by adding weighted coagulation additives (WCA) and recycling sludge into the coagulation basin to increase settling velocity and surface adsorption ability of floc. Also settling chamber together with lamella plates offers the high rate settling velocity, which can economically treat a considerable amount of pollutants like as combined sewage overflow (CSO) during the heavy rainfall and reduce the pollutants load into the receiving water for securing water source. It was estimated optimal configuration of settling chamber by using fluent model and the possibilities of reusing the sludge generated in this system.

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.

폐솔더 박리액으로부터 주석 및 구리의 분리를 위하여 옥살레이트 침전을 통해 각각 금속염으로 회수하기 위한 기초 연구를 실시하였다. 먼저 옥살산의 첨가량에 따라 주석의 침전율이 증가하였으며 당량비(옥살산/주석)의 1.0-1.5배를 첨가할 경우 주석이 99.5%, 구리는 2.0% 정도 침전되었고 철, 납 등은 거의 침전되지 않아 주석만 선택적으로 침전되는 것을 확인 하였다. 반응온도 증가에 따라 주석의 침전율은 증가하여 $60^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 최대값을 보이다가 온도가 더 증가하면 오히려 감소 경향을 보였다. 침전물의 고액분리 용이를 위해 카티온성 고분자 응집제를 이용하여 침강시킨 후, 분리된 침전물을 건조, 분쇄하여 $SnO_2$의 산화물을 얻을 수 있었다. 주석이 제거된 폐솔더 박리액에 옥살산을 첨가하여 구리가 약 91% 이상 침전되어 납, 철 등의 금속과 분리하여 선택적으로 회수가 가능하였다.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of coagulants and solid-liquid separation methods on algal removal in water treatment processes. Thus characterization of raw water quality in terms of turbidity. UV-254, $KMnO_4$ consumption, chlorophyll-a and correlation analysis of these parameters were conducted. In addition, the effect of commercial Al-based coagulants(Alum. PAC and PACS) on algal removal was studied by turbidity and organic removal, algal species removal, characteristic of pH drop and alkalinity consumption using laboratory jar tests. Organic components including UV-254, $KMnO_4$ consumption, chlorophyll-a in case of algal bloom were highly correlated with turbidity and the correlation coefficients of UV-254, $KMnO_4$ consumption, chlorophyll-a with turbidity were 0.775, 0674 and 0.623, respectively. In coagulation and sedimentation, the Al-based coagulants showed similar efficiency of organic and turbidity removal in low organic($KMnO_4$ consumption below 15mg/l) and low turbidity(below 30NTU). However, PAC and PACS showed better algal removal than alum in high organic concentration($KMnO_4$ consumption above 20mg/l) and high turbidity(above 100NTU) raw water conditions generated by high algal growth, which is considered to be due to the floc settleability. In comparison of sedimentation and flotation after chemical coagulation and flocculation, the removal efficiency of organic and turbidity were higher in case of alum dose with flotation than with sedimentation, while those were better in case or PAC and PACS with sedimentation than with flotation. Thus, Alum with flotation and PAC and PACS with sedimentation is recommended for efficient algal removal. The dominant phytoplankton in raw water were Microcystic and pediastrum simplex and the removal efficiency of algae with sedimentation using alum. PAC and PACS were 27%, 45% and 22% respectively, while those with DAF showed 100% removal of phytoplankton and zooplankton.

Total suspendid solid (TSS) of non point source pollutants in construction site are in higher concentration than others (BOD, COD etc). Also, the TSS concentration is very sensitive to the rainfall intensity in early stage of construction. There are two methods for treatment of non point source pollutants, which are temporary treatment facility and filtering one. But they have disadvantages. Temporary facility system has very low efficiency and filtering system consumes high energy and takes up large footprint. This study shows how prefabricated flocculation/coagulation system is developped to cover the above weakness and evaluation of the system performance in construction site. The prefabricated flocculation/coagulation system has very high treatment efficiency comparing with temporary and filtering system and takes small footprint. Therefore, it expects that the system leads to prevention of pollution near construction site and reduction of public grievance. Proper coagulant dosage and sludge circulation facility application, controlling the height of sludge interfacial are necessary to maximize the system efficiency.
