점착성 유사는 비점착성 유사보다 작은 입자 크기를 가지며 전자기적 점착력에 의해 연속적인 응집과 파괴의 과정인 응집현상을 겪는다. 응집현상에 의해 생긴 유사 덩어리를 플럭(Floc)이라고 하며 유사의 응집현상은 점착성 유사가 가지는 입자 크기, 침강속도, 밀도를 변화시킨다. 유사의 이동은 크기, 침강속도, 밀도에 영향을 받는다. 따라서 점착성 유사의 여러 특성에 관여하는 입자의 크기에 대한 충분한 이해는 점착성 유사의 이동을 파악하는 데에 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 점착성 유사의 여러 특성 중, 입자 크기 분포에 대한 특성을 분석하는 것을 수행하였다. 일반적으로 점착성 유사의 연구에서 입도 분포는 Log-normal 분포로 가정하여 사용되고 있다. 그러나 그 적합성에 대해서는 검증된 바가 없다. 따라서 과거 연구에서 조사된 점착성 유사의 입도 분포 자료를 현장에서 측정된 자료와 실험실에서 측정된 자료로 나누어 수집한 후, 표본에 통계학적인 방법인 적합도 검정을 사용하여 실제 어떠한 분포를 모사하는지 살펴보았다. 적합도 검정은 Kolmogorov- Smirnov (K-S)검정을 이용하였으며 K-S 검정의 결과가 유의수준 5%를 통과하는 경우 가정된 분포가 실제 표본을 잘 모사하는 것으로 판단하였다. 적합도 검정 결과, 점착성 유사의 입도 분포는 현장 실험과 실험실 실험에서 다른 특징을 나타내었다. 현장 실험의 경우 입도 분포의 형태가 지수 분포의 형태를 나타내는 경우가 많았으며 Gamma 분포가 우수하게 모사하였다. 실험실 실험의 입도 분포는 일반적인 양의 왜곡도를 가지는 분포를 그렸으며 GEV 분포와 Gamma 분포가 우수하게 모사하였다. 두 경우 모두 Log-normal 분포가 적합하다고 판단되는 경우는 많지 않았다. 그러나 Log-normal 분포에 위치 매개변수를 추가하여 3 매개변수의 분포로 모사한 경우 유의수준 5%를 통과하는 경우가 크게 증가하였다. 향후에는 점착성 유사의 입도 분포를 모사하고 사용함에 있어 Log-normal 분포를 무조건적으로 이용하는 것은 지양해야할 것으로 판단된다. 2 매개변수의 분포를 점착성 유사의 입도분포로 사용할 경우, Gamma 분포를 추천하며, 기존에 사용되던 Log-normal 분포를 사용할 경우 위치 매개변수를 추가하여 3 매개변수의 Log-normal 분포를 이용할 것을 추천한다. 또한 점착성 유사의 입도를 모사하는 분포를 개발하여 사용한다면 점착성 유사의 이동과 특성을 연구할 때 가장 중요한 크기 특성에 대한 많은 정보를 제공할 수 있다고 판단된다.

Sedimentation and self-weight consolidation tests in cylinder and large model tank and field measurement such as settlement and pore water pressure at each layer by wireless automatic instrumentation system were carried out to investigate the behaviour of dredged marine clay fill. The consolidation behaviour for each reclaimed layer was analyzed from these measured data and numerical analysis result using finite strain consolidation theory. It was fond from this study that the consolidation behaviour of dredged clay fill is heavily dependent on the filling process.

혐기성 소화는 고농도의 유기폐수를 최종적으로 메탄으로 전환하여 에너지원을 회수할 수 있는 효율적인 생물학적 폐수처리 공정 중의 하나이다. 그런데 이러한 혐기성 소화 공정에서 가장 큰 장애요인으로 작용하고 있는 요소 중의 하나가 매생물의 침강성 저하로 인한 고액분리의 문제이다. 이로인해 현재 고전적인 중력침강법, 부상법 대신에 분리막을 이용한 막결합형 혐기성 소화 공정이 대두되고 있으며 완전한 고액분리, 반응조내의 고농도 미생물 보유, 양질의 최종 유출수 획득 등 많은 장점들이 제시되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 장점에도 불구하고 시간에 따른 막오염 현상, 분리막 표면에서의 케이크층 형성 등으로 인한 막투과 유속 (flux)의 감소는 분리막의 응용에 있어 경제성을 저하시키는 주요한 부정적 요인으로 지적되고 있다. 그리고 막분리 성능은 분리막의 특성, 유체역학적 조건, 그리고 혐기성 소화 상태 등에 의해 영향을 받을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 막결합형 혐기성 소화 공정의 십자흐름 (crossflow) 막분리 공정에서 유체역학적 조건 및 혐기성 소화조의 상태와 관련된 요인들이 어떻게 막투과도 및 배제율 등에 영향을 미치는 지 살펴보고자 한다.

We have cultured the bluefin tuna in Yokjido, Tongyeong with floating cage which was vulnerable to harmful dinoflagellate, Cochiodinium polykrikoides. This study inspected a vertical migration of phytoplankton and Chl-a for reasonable sinking depth in floating cage. Furthermore, we analyzed the fluctuation of the phytoplankton including harmful dinoflagellates occurring in Yokgido for 6 years. Total cell density showed a significant monthly variation and the flora was predominated with diatoms. Gymnodinium sp. occurred 19 times, the greatest number of occurrence in all kinds of dinoflagellates during summer. In particular, the total number of occurrence at C. polykrikoides was 8, and harmful dinoflagellates such as Karenia brevis/Fibrcapsa japonica occurred. The relationship between Chl-a concentration/total cell number and sunset/sunrise was significant and reasonable sinking depth in floating cage was found to be at least 3m from the water surface, which was associated with massive fish kills caused by C. polykrikoides.

To improve dispersibility of cereal powder without additives, granulation of cereal powder was conducted using fluidized-bed granulator. Operation condition was sample 300 g, internal temperature $40^{\circ}C$, ventilation speed $30-90m^3/h$, inlet temperature $90^{\circ}C$ and spray pressure 2.5 bar. The amount of distilled water (20-45%) as binder, granulation time (10-15 min) and drying time (3-10 min) were controlled. Mean diameter over volume (Brouckere mean, $D_{4,3}$) was increased from $123{\mu}m$ to $263{\mu}m$ and dispersibility was improved from 73% to 92.25% at experiment conditions. Wettability (wetting time) was drastically decreased from 5,000 second to 7 second. Granulation of cereal powder did not affect sinkability and mean diameter over volume as wet analysis was about the same between raw and granulated cereals. Such phenomenon means that granulation with only water as binder enables cereal powder to disperse in water or milk without rapid sedimentation.

Cohesive sediments form flocs through the flocculation process. The size and density of floc are variable whereas those of a fine sediment are always assumed to be constant. The settling velocity, one of main factors of sediment transport, is determined by size and density of particle. Therefore, the flocculation process plays an important role in transport of cohesive sediment. It is of great difficulty to directly measure the density of floc in the field due to technical limitation at present. It is a popular approach to estimate the density of floc by applying the fractal theory. The main assumption of fractal theory is the self-similarity. This study aims to examine the applicability of fractal theory to cohesive sediment in small rivers of Korea. Sampling sediment has been conducted in two different basins of Geum river and Yeongsan river. The results of settling experiments using commercial camera show that the sediment in Geum river basin follows the main concept of fractal theory whereas the sediment in Yeongsan river basin does not have a clear relationship between floc size and fractal dimension. It is known from this finding that the fractal theory is not easily applicable under the condition that the cohesive sediment includes the high content of organic matter.

To examine floc characteristics of cohesive bed sediment of the Yeongsan River estuary, a floc camera system has been developed and utilized to observe flocs under varying conditions. In order to validate the floc camera system, sand particles were passed through 88-125 and $63-88{\mu}m$ sieves and observed within the laboratory. Mean grain size and settling velocities were found to be 102 and $56.2{\mu}m$ and 6.7 and 5.9 mm/s, respectively. Artifacts of particles estimated outside of the sieve range are attributed to being imaged out of the depth of focus. However, as mean grain size and settling velocity of each size class were within the confidence interval, the floc camera system was confidently used to examine cohesive bed sediments of Yeongsan River estuary. The bed sediment sample was prepared with a concentration of 0.1 g/L in 0 psu deionized water. The mean grain size, settling velocity and fractal dimension of flocs were $40.6{\pm}0.66{\mu}m$, 14 mm/s, and 2.86, respectively. Experiments were also conducted using different salinities (10 and 34 psu) and sediment concentrations (0.1 and 0.3 g/L). Despite changing these parameters, the mean observed grain size and settling velocities were found to be the same within the error range of the system. The relatively higher values of settling velocity and fractal dimension are considered a result of the sediment containing relatively small concentrations of organic matter. Moreover, consistent floc size over various grain sizes and concentrations may be the result of insufficient turbulence to aggregate flocs.

This study presents a numerical model that can simulate changes of particle size distribution (PSD) of PCB-contaminated coastal sediments. The developed model has one spatial dimension including sedimentation and vortical dispersion as well as coagulation. The reason for considering the vortical transport mechanisms is to calculate residence time of the particles. Using the model and Initial PSD data based on actual coastal sediments contaminated with PCBs, this study shows results of model simulations. Within 48 hours of the simulation time, the PSD changed significantly and the particles were removed from water in different rates between different particle sizes. It also shows that coagulation can act an important role in this process. The model may be useful in assessing the range of resuspended sediments that can pollute neighboring areas during environmental remediation projects such as dredging.

In the present study, sedimentation and shear stress of MR fluid are investigated to physical characteristics of MR fluid along temperature conditions. MR fluid is a suspension of micrometer-sized magnetic particles in a base liquid. Therefore, dispersion of MR fluid is important in the case of the design and optimization of the system using MR fluid. Due to sedimentation characteristics of MR fluid by magnetic particles, the sedimentation and shear stress of commercial MR fluid are investigated at $25^{\circ}C$ and $80^{\circ}C$ temperatures by using a forced convection oven and a viscometer. From experimental results, the sedimentation and shear stress are more affected by the temperatures of $80^{\circ}C$ than $25^{\circ}C$ and the mixing time of 5min than 10min. Shear stress by the applied current increases the shape of a quadratic equation and are lower 6-18% at $80^{\circ}C$ than $25^{\circ}C$.

In case of application of electrophoresis method for leakage restoration of waste impoundment, main points of consideration were to evaluate the mobility of clay particles by electrophoretic force and capacity of leakage repair in leachate electrolyte system contained with various chemical species. However, the flocculation phenomena of clay particles induced by electrochemical interaction between various chemical species and clay particles would cause the big problems in electrophoresis method. Therefore, a series of laboratory tests such as one-dimensional electrophoresis and gravitational experiments were carried out in order to identify the specific chemical species affected flocculation of clay particles and the range of chemical concentration in leachate. In addition, the characteristics of clay particle behavior with chemical species and concentration range in leachate were analized using the concept of the settling velocity, zeta potential, and electrophoretic velocity.
