The purpose of this study is to quantitatively estimate the settling property for fine-cohesive sediments in Keum Estuary and to evaluate the spatial variation by analyzing and comparing the local and seasonal variation of the settling properties in Keum Estuary with that of the settling properties in the other sites. After the spatial variation of physico-chemical properties such grain size distribution, the percentage of organic contents, mineralogical composition etc is investigated through experiments and analyses, interrelation between the physico-chemical properties and settling velocities and effect that the physico-chemical properties have on the quantitative variation of settling velocities were also analyzed in this study. Experimental results of settling tests shows that settling velocities of Keum Estuary mud vary in the range of two orders of magnitude (from 0.01 to 1mm/sec) over the corresponding concentration range of 0.1 to 80 g/L, and a feature of settling velocity profile is quite different in quantity as compared to those of previous studies with mud of other regions: Saemankuem, Tampa Bay, Sevem Estuary and lake Okeechobee. However, their local and seasonal variabilities within Keum Estuary appear to be insignificant.

In these days, the importance of sludge treatment is emerging due to the London Convention, so this study was conducted to propose the alternatives for the improved sludge treatment on the organic wastewater and sewage sludge with JAR test and settling column equipped with stirrer. The minimum coagulant dosage to earn the optimum sludge settling efficiency resulted from 200mg/l and each critical sludge settling interface showed no distinct difference when PAC was dosed over 200mg/l. Accordingly, Clarification Rate(CR) with 200mg/l dosage was calculated to CR=(Ho-Ht) / Ho=1-0.4=0.6 because the critical sludge settling height stopped at 0.4. The settling velocity of sludge interface was decreased with the increase of MLSS concentration but rather increased with MLSS concentration over 1,000mg/l. This resulted from positive effect of interacted coagulation for floc formation by transfer to the zone of compressed settling when MLSS concentration increased over 1,000mg/l. The settling velocity of sludge interface showed $28.66{\times}10^{-3}/min$ for average settling velocity of sewage sludge which is 6.7 times higher than $4.25{\times}10^{-3}/min$ for average settling velocity of organic wastewater sludge. The increasing rate of CR for organic wastewater activated sludge was higher than that of settling velocity under 200mg/l of PAC dosage but settling velocity was higher than CR over 200mg/l of PAC dosage. However, in case of sewage sludge, the differential rate of CR was low when PAC dosage was increased but the settling velocity was suddenly increased with over 200mg/l dosage. Therefore coagulation effect was more efficient to MLSS settling velocity rather than SS removal effect in the supernatant.

유사는 이동 형태에 따라 소류사와 부유사로 구분된다. 하천의 흐름을 통해 이동하는 유사의 대부분은 부유사의 형태로 이동하며, 부유사의 부유 거동은 난류 강도와 유사 입자의 침강 속도로 인해 결정된다. 이에 따라 부유사의 부유 거동을 이해하기 위해서는 정확한 침강 속도의 산정과 난류에 대한 이해가 요구된다. 유사의 침강 속도는 밀도와 크기로 대표되는 유사의 특성을 이용하여 결정된다. 하천에서 부유사가 여러 크기를 갖는 유사 입자들이 혼재된 형태로 이동하는 것을 생각해 볼 때, 침강 속도의 분포를 이해하기 위해서 입도 분포에 대한 연구는 필수적임을 알 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 유사 입자의 입도 분포에 난류 강도가 미치는 영향을 살펴본다. 연구를 수행하기 위해 모래의 입도 분포가 로그 정규 분포를 따를 것이라는 가정을 적용하여 난류의 영향을 고려하는 부유사의 입도 분포 모형이 개발되었다. 부유사의 입도 분포는 흐름의 유사 이송 능력에 따라 분포의 표준 편차와 같은 물리량이 변화할 것으로 예측되는데, 흐름 내 유사의 이동과 흐름의 유사 이송 능력을 함께 고려하기 위해 개발되는 유사의 입도 분포 모형은 유사 이동 모형과 결합된다.

Suspended fine mineral particles are deposited at the areas with low flow velocity and low transportation capacity in rivers, reservoirs and lakes. It can be contaminated by heavy metals. Examples of problem fields art dredging of sediment, water pollutants, and maintenance of navigation channels and construction works. To deal with the settling problems it is necessary to understand tile physico-chemical characteristics of cohesive sediment under varying density of particle and ion addition(NaOH, HCl, NaCl), which is dissolved in river, because fine-grained cohesive sediment can lead to flocculation with the physico-chemical influences and takes different characteristics. Experiments with fresh and saline water are followed with fine-grained sediments(alumina and quartz) in settling columns. Settling velocity of suspended fine particles in still water was measured with a pressure sensor(maximum 10 mbar). Until the initial concentration of 20,000 mg/1 of alumina and quartz the settling velocity was on the increase. Above this initial concentration was it on the decrease. In an acid condition, which causes strong flocculation, average settling velocity of quartz powder was high. In an alkaline water low average settling velocity of it was observed. However, alumina behaved exactly contrarily.

This study was carried out to investigate the settling characteristics of Fe(II) and Fe(III) hydroxide precipitates formed by pH adjustment of aqueous solution to remove ferrous and ferric ion in waste water. The results obstained in this study are as fellows : The settling rate was effectively increased with increasing the pH values of aqueous solution regulated by CaO and with increasing the amount of flocculant, on the other hand, application of excess flocculants decreased the settling rate. It is desirable that the concentration of iron ion is kept under $10^{-2}$ mol/ㅣ because the settling rate was decreased with increasing the concentration of iron hydroxide precipitates.

A study on the characteristics of phosphorus sedimentation in Nakdong Estuary Barrage was conducted in June and July, 1989. Cylindric type sediment trap was designed for collecting of downward material. Downward flux and settling velocity of downward material were $296g/m^2/d$, 1.25m/hr in mid-layer and $955g/m^2/d$, 3.31m/hr in bottom-layer, respectively Downward flux and settling velocity of phosphorus were $0.64g/m^2/d$, 0.85m/hr in mid-layer and $1.97g/m^2/d$, 1.89m/hr in bottom-layer, respectively. Fractional composition of organic phophorus in downward material was $51.9\%$ in mid-layer water and $48.3\%$ in bottom-layer water. According to the result of this study, sedimentation of phosphorus plays an important role as a sinking effect in Nakdong Estuary Barrage.

기후변화에 따라 강우 패턴이 변화하며, 집중호우 발생 빈도의 증가가 예상된다. 이로 인해 저수지 상류에서 유실된 토사는 저수지로 유입하여 정수 처리비용 증가, 1차생산성 감소, 어류폐사, 하천경관 악화 등 다양한 문제를 유발한다. 따라서 위와 같은 탁수 피해 저감을 위해 과학적인 모니터링과 예측, 저수지 운영과 관리기술 개발 등의 대응이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 극한 탁수사상 발생시 대응 기술의 일환으로 저수지 탁수예측 모델의 신뢰도 향상을 위해, 기존 탁수예측 모형인 CE-QUAL-W2(이하 W2)의 탁수 예측 알고리즘을 개선하고 소양강댐 저수지에 적용하여 그 성능을 평가하였다. 최근 W2모델 3.72 버전까지 출시되었으나, 모델은 단순 침강속도만 고려하여 저수지 밀도 특성을 반영하지 못하고, TSS 모의시 독립침강을 가정하여 응집 침강 및 장기탁수 예측에 취약한 한계점을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 과거 연구내용을 바탕으로 수온에 따른 점성계수 변화(Stoke's), 다중 부유 입자별 침강속도 고려 기능을 추가하였으며, 새롭게 점착성유사의 응집 침강을 고려할 수 있는 기능을 추가하여 모델을 개선하였다. 모델에 점착성 유사 모의 전략은 입자 크기 $63{\mu}m$를 기준으로 비점착성유사(NCS)와 점착성유사(CS)로 구분하고, 비점착성유사는 독립침강, 점착성 유사는 응집침강을 가정하였다. 응집 후 중간 입경의 추정은 Gailani et al(1991)의 식을 사용하였으며, 침강속도 계산 공식은 Hwang and Mehta(1989)식을 적용하였다. 수정된 모델은 소양강댐 운영이후 최대 탁수사상이 발생했던 2006년을 대상으로 기존 탁수해석 결과와 수정된 모델의 모의결과를 실측값과 비교 분석 하였다. Stoke's 식 적용시 기존의 모의결과 대비 AME 평균 23%, RMSE 평균 18%가 개선되는 것으로 나타났으며, Hwang and Metha식 적용시에 SS 모의값이 전반적으로 과소평가되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 실측 방류 탁수 농도와 모의값을 비교하여 평가 하였으며, 모의기간인 Julian Day 173~365(192일) 동안 모의 결과의 총 TSS 부하량은 실측값의 약 80%수준을 보였으며, TSS 방류 부하기준 Stoke's 식 적용시 기존 모의대비 오차가 1.3% 개선되는 것으로 나타났다.

This study aims to estimate settling velocity ($W_s$) for cohesive sediments from water bodies (Incheon Coast, Kulpo Stream and Han River) mainly connected to the Kyeongin Ara-waterway through the laboratory settling experiments. Results of settling tests for these sediments show that $W_s$ values for sediments are quite different each other: $W_s$ values of Kulpo Stream sediments (0.01 < $W_s$ < 3.07 mm/s) are quite similar with those of Han River sediments (0.01 < $W_s$ < 2.97 mm/s) over the whole range of suspension concentration C (0.1 < C < 90 g/ L), while they are quite different with those for Incheon Coast sediments (0.01 < $W_s$ <0.92 mm/s). Qualitative analyses on test results for physico- chemical properties of sediments and waters with respect to settling velocities show that these differences in settling velocities are mainly due to the salinity difference in the water.

In this study, settling experiment was performed about cohesive and sandy soils among representative sample expected to dredge and dump for analysis of settling and consolidation characteristic. The analysis showed the definite difference between cohesive soils and sandy soils of relationships with settling and consolidation coefficient, a water content, interfacial heights. But directly after a dredged reclamation, prediction results about a initial volume change showed that cohesive soil of a water content change was decreased rapidly as time goes by, but sandy soils made no difference in a water content change. Results were compared and analyzed with the settling and consolidation coefficient and a initial settling velocity by real soil amounts for a feasibility check about test conditions applied to these experiment: we judge that test conditions are appropriate, each material by such these analyses suggests the scope of settling and consolidation coefficient, average and the representative relational formula.
