The Ni based adsorbent was prepared by co-precipitation method and its performance for removing carbon monoxide was investigated. Here, silica, aluminium silicate and ${\gamma}$-alumina were used for carriers of catalyst. $Ni(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$ and $Ni(CH_3COO)_2{\cdot}4H_2O$ were utilized for Ni precursors. Precipitants were urea and citric acid. After precipitation of Ni salt on the carrier and following reduction using $H_2$ gas, adsorbent was prepared and its performance was analyzed based on EDS, TPR and XRD experiments. In accordance with change of precipitation agents, Ni salts on carrier, carriers and reduction condition. Adsorbent performance for removing carbon monoxide was investigated. The adsorbent with 54.8 wt% Ni prepared using urea precipitant under reduction condition at $500^{\circ}C$ for 3 h exhibited the best CO removal performance.

A process development for direct synthesis of high pure ZnO powders from zinc-bearing waste was investigated. This waste contains a 55% of zinc and it was extracted by the sulfuric acid(leaching). After removal of iron ion by precipitation from the zinc solution, the purification through a solvent extraction by the use of D2EHPA as an extractant was carried out. Then, loaded zinc in organic solution was stripped and precipitated simultaneously using a precipitant such as oxalic acid. Then, loaded zinc in organic solution was stripped and precipitated simulataneously using a precipitant such as oxalic acid. The synthesized $ZnC_2O_4$ powders by the precipitation stripping method was calcined to obtain more than 99.9% of ZnO powders. The effect of sulfuric acid concentration, leaching time, pulp density on the extraction of zinc was studied and the optimum conditions for the solvent extraction were obtained through the investigation of purification of zinc solution. The size, morphology and size distribution of synthesized $ZnC_2O_4$ powders were studied in terms of oxalic acid concentration, temperature, surfactant added, precipitation time, etc.

The failure analysis of scales deposited on automotive thermostat housing has been carried out. Observations using energy dispersive spectroscopy and electron probe micro analyzer indicate that the main components of scales are some of additives of coolant used. For a detailed investigation of organic matters pyrolysis-GC/MS is employed. The result shows that the main organic component is benzoic acid and furthermore, a small amount of acetophenone, benzene and phenyl group is detected. Based on the results of failure analysis performed, the scales on automotive thermostat housing appear due to the deposition of coolant components, followed by crevice corrosion, into gap between housing and rubber horse. New accelerated test methodology, which could mimic the scale formation and the crevice corrosion on thermostat housing, is developed considering the above results. In order to reproduce the real operating conditions, the accelerating factors, i.e. temperature and humidity, are changed and programmed. The reproducibility of the accelerated test proposed is confirmed after analyzing the scales obtained from the accelerated test.

Two types of reactor were designed to neutralize acid mine drainage flow from closed mine. Limestone used as a neutralizer, which composed mainly of calcite with small amount of dolomite. In general, the effect of neutralization depended upon both the position of reaction and the amount of supply of neutralizer. It was observed that the neutralization was enhanced as the reaction with acid mine drainage occurred at the upper part of reactor with sufficient supply of neutralizer. When the reaction was sustained in upper part of the reactor, the neutralizer was not affected by precipitates and the reaction could last until all of neutralizer was consumed.

The purpose of this study is to understand the removal possibility of microalgae using inorganic coagulants in coagulation and sedimentation process for water treatment. Removal of microalgae was studied according to coagulant type(Alum and PAC), coagulation factors(alkalinity, coagulant dosage, and setting time), and size fraction of microalgae. The contribution of applied coagulants for removal of microalgae was also examined. The removal rate of the microalgae by change of alkalinity was most high in 25 mg/L of alkalinity(Alum) as 87.2% and 30 mg/L of that(PAC) as 90.1%. Optimal coagulant dosage to remove the microalgae was 40 mg/L(removal effi.; 88.1%), and PAC was 50 mg/L(removal effi.; 90.1%). Alum was better than the PAC to remove the microlgae. In the water treatment processes such as rapid slow mixing and sedimentation the removal efficiency of microalgae with coagulants was 2 times higher than that of without. In optimal condition, the removal efficiencies of microalgae were nanoplankton > microplankton > picoplankton. Especially, the removal efficiency of the picoplankton was very low as below 30%.

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.

TRIGA Mark-II&III 연구로서의 운영과정에서 발생된 방사성 슬러리 함유 폐액에 대하여 음이온, 앙이온, 그리고 비이온 응집제를 첨가하였을 때의 여과 효과를 실험실 규모의 진공여과 장치로 연구하였다. 여과 실험 자료를 이용하여 Darcy’s Law에서 유도된 여과 케익 저항 값을 산출하였다. 응집제 사용으로 응집제를 사용하지 않은 경우롸 비교하여 케익 저항값의 개선은 있었지만, 수분함량은 증가하였다. 각각의 응집제 사용에 따른 침전율, 여과 케익의 수분함량, 그리고 여과 케익 저항 값을 비교한 결과 음이온 응집제 12~16ppm/$\ell$ waste를 사용하였을 경우가 가장 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

기존의 정수처리 공정은 응집-침전-급속여과처리를 주로 사용하면서 생물 활성탄처리-오존처리 등을 거치는 공정으로 이루어져 왔다. 그러나 응집제의 투여시 최적 응집제량, 최적 응집제 투여위치, 교반시간, pH 조절 등 번거러운 test가 선행 되어야 하며 처리수에 남아있는 응집제에 의해 2차 오염을 일으켜 침전조의 부지 면적에 따른 대형화등을 초래할 단점이 있다. 따라서 최근에는 이러한 단점을 보완하고 장치의 간소함, 높은 효율의 유지에 따른 후처리 공정의 부하감소 및 운전 조건 인자등의 감소라는 경제적 효과를 기대할 수 있는 막분리공정이 도입되었다. 그러나 분리막 처리공정의 경우 원수에 다량 포함되어 있는 콜로이드 입자들에 의한 flux의 감소 및 fouling 현상으로 인한 막의 수명감소, 처리수량의 감소 및 최적 설계 및 운전 방법등의 새로운 공정에 대한 많은 자료의 확보가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 기존의 정수처리 공정에 있어서 전처리 부분에 해당하는 응집-침전-급속여과처리 공정을 분리막 공정으로 대체 하였을 때 분리막의 재질 및 module의 차이에 따른 처리 능력을 비교하고 각 단위 공정들에 의한 flux 변화, 각 공정별 수질분석, 회복율, 회수율 등을 검토하여 최적 조건의 공정을 확립하여 후처리 공정의 효율을 극대화 하는데 있다.
