척추경 나사못을 이용한 요추 유합술은 가장 보편적으로 사용되어지는 수술적 치료 방법이다. 과거 여러 연구들에서 이러한 척추 유합술의 임상적 우수성은 이미 입증 되었으며, 척추경 나사못은 시술 부위의 운동을 완전히 제한함으로써 높은 유합율을 얻을 수 있으나, 상대적으로 인접 분절의 조기 퇴행성 변화의 요인 중 하나로 보고되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석 방법을 이용하여 척추경 나사못 시술에 따른 척추체의 운동범위 및 인접 분절 추간판의 스트레스 증가량을 계산하였고, 척추경 나사못 모델과 유합 후 나사못 제거에 따른 모델 또 시술하기 전 정상모델과 비교하여 생체 역학적 측면에서 분석하여 척추경 나사못을 이용한 요추 유합술 후, 척추경 나사못의 제거의 임상적 효과와 그 이론적 근거를 제시하고자 한다.

A water treatment system using membrane separation technology can provide stable effluent quality and its maintenance is relatively easy comparing to the conventional water treatment system. In addition, the membrane filtration system is very compact such that it can replace existing water treatment processes of coagulation/sedimentation/filtration by only one process. However, a major problem associated with membrane filtration is flux decline with operating time due to concentration polarization and fouling, so a systematic study on evaluation of long-term filtration performance is necessary. A membrane filtration system using tubular type ultrafiltration membranes with MWCO of 30.000 Da was constructed for this study and it had been operated in a feed-and-discontinuous bleed mode. Flux was stabilized after operation of 1.500 hours and maintaining above 25 LMH until 4.000 hours. Contaminants causing SS and turbidity were almost completely removed while the $UV_{260}$ and DOC removals were 55% and 49%, respectively. A simple mass balance equation was developed to predict maximum concentrations of SS, turbidity, $UV_{260}$ and DOC in a operation cycle. For SS and turbidity the measured max, concentrations in each cycle agree well with the predicted values while the measured max, concentrations of $UV_{260}$ and DOC were 59% and 37% of the predicted values, respectively.

종래의 산업폐수 처리기술로는 중금속 함유 폐수에 수용성의 금속염을 첨가하여 가성소다 혹은 소석회를 이용하여 pH를 조정하고 고분자 응집제를 첨가하여 금속의 수산화물을 생성시켜 이를 부상 혹은 침전시켜 Sludge화하여 제거하는 방법이 주로 사용되고 있다. 그 외 질소, 인, 유기물이 함유된 폐수의 경우에는 Biological Oxidation Techniques, 활성탄 흡착방식이 주로 채택되고 있다.[1-3] 이러한 폐수처리기술은 화학약품 사용량이 과다하고 이는 Sludge 생성량을 증대하고 2차 폐수처리가 필요로 하는 경우가 많고, 처리장이 면적이 넓어야 하고 대용량의 Sludge 제거창치가 필요하여 고비용의 처리공정으로 문제점을 가지고 있다.[2-3] 이에 본 연구에서는 이러한 기존 기술의 문제점을 보완할 수 있고 기존 기술로는 완벽하게 처리하기 곤란한 악성 폐수들에 대한 새로운 고도처리기술로 초전도 마그네트를 이용한 고구배 자기분리기술에 대한 기초연구를 하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 고구배 자기분리 시스템은 무헬륨 전도냉각방식으로 자기분리를 위해 사용한 필터는 SUS 430 재질의 메쉬 형태로 제작하여 실험하였다. 또한, 자기분리 처리를 위한 전처리 공정으로는 응집제를 첨가하여 자기분리 효율을 높이고자 하였다. 자기분리 처리대상수로는 포항제철에 압연 강판에 사용되는 냉각수를 대상으로 자기분리 처리에 대한 효과를 실험하였다. 또한, 자기분리에 대한 특성을 평가하기 위해 강자성의 $Fe_3O_4$ 미세자성분말을 첨가하여 처리수내의 들어있는 유기물질에 대해 자기분리 자장 및 유속에 대한 처리효율을 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 자기분리 처리는 1~6 Tesla에서 자기필터는 디스크 형태로 다층으로 연속적으로 적층하였으며, 처리유속은 1~4 l/min으로 하였다. 고농도인 처리폐수를 자가분리 인가 자장에 따라 처리하여 고농도에서는 70%, 저농도에서는 98 %까지 처리되었다. 또한, 자기분리용 필터는 SUS 430 재질의 mesh 망을 사용하였으며 인가자장 및 유속변화에 대한 실험 결과 탁도 및 농도는 필터 크기의 영향은 거의 차이가 없었으며 단지 인가자장 및 유속에 따라서 지수적으로 감소하였다. 자기분리된 용액 내 $Fe_3O_4$ 입도 분석 결과 자기분리 이전에 분포하던 $10\sim20\;{\mu}m$의 입자는 거의 제거되었으며 2 ${\mu}m$ 이하의 입자들은 실험 횟수에 따라 점점 직경이 작은 쪽으로 분포가 좁아졌으며, 마그네타이트의 자화율을 분석한 결과 약 0.8 Tesla에서 포화 되었으며 처리수의 탁도 및 농도가 자장에 따라 감소하는 것으 알 수 있었다.

The objective of this study is to development of IDFIS system, that are consisted of hydrocyclone, rapid flocculation and inclined settler with chitosan coagulant. As the results of Jar test, a chitosan optimum dosage of 40 mg/L for river sediment, and 5 mg/L for tunnelling wastewater sediment, which these conditions leaves of residual turbidity of less than 5 NTU. Because of the effectiveness of chitosan in removing turbidity was independent on pH, the operation of IDFIS system would be simple. The synthesized turbidity was made with clay particles, river sediment, river suspended sediment, and tunnelling wastewater sediment. Results indicate that the mean overall removal efficiency of turbidity, SS, COD and TP were 98%, 99%, 85% and 95%, respectively. Chitosan is very efficient in removing turbidity in the entire turbidity range examined. IDFIS system would have possibility with compact design, because of the increase of floc size favours the floc settling speed and reduces the settling time.

The effects of HRT and effluent time on removals of pollutants in the electrochemical pilot were investigated. COD removal after 8 hour electrochemical reaction time in HRT 30 and 60 minutes were higher than that of 15 minute HRT. Turbidity removal was 90% or greater regardless of conditions during effluent time. Removals of T-N and T-P during effluent time in HRT 30 and 60 minutes were $71{\sim}74%$ and $85{\sim}98%$, respectively. To evaluate the combination of activated sludge process and continuous electrochemical as pretreatment, the removal efficiencies of pollutants was investigated. In two treatment processes of a single activated sludge system and a electrolysis pilot plus activated sludge systems, SVI and MLSS during effluent time were kept with $82{\sim}112$ and $1,230{\sim}1,750$ mg/L, respectively. COD removal was approximately 90% at early effluent time for both treatment systems, but COD removal in a single activated sludge was slightly decreased as effluent time went by, compared with the single activated sludge COD removal was slightly increased in the early stage of the electrolysis plus activated sludge system. Turbidity removal during effluent time was higher than 95% for both treatment systems. T-N removals during effluent time in a single activated sludge system and a electrolysis pilot plus activated sludge systems were $62{\sim}74%$ and $72{\sim}86%$, respectively. T-P removal in a electrolysis pilot plus activated sludge systems was increased by 9% at early effluent time and 15% after 72 hours of effluent time in compared with a single activated sludge system.

This study investigated removal characteristics of organic matters in pretreatment and reverse osmosis (RO) membrane processes for seawater desalination. Also, the influence of the changes in characteristics of organic matters on the membrane fouling was assessed. The pretreatment processes included dual media filtration (DMF), pressurized membrane filtration (MF), and submerged membrane filtration (SMF). Turbidity, UV absorption at 254 nm, dissolved organic carbon, size exclusion chromatography (SEC), fluorescence excitation emission matrix (FEEM), and transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) in raw and processed waters were analyzed. Ions and minerals were not removed by any pretreatment process tested, but were removed over 99% through the RO membrane process. Hydrophobic organics, which can play major role in organic membrane fouling, were relatively readily removed compared with hydrophilic ones. Membrane based pretreatment such as MF and SMF exhibited better removals of organics than conventional DMF. As the levels of organics in pretreated water decreased, the silt density index (SDI) decreased. MF treated water exhibited the lowest SDI value; this is possibly due to the lowest TEP ($0.1-0.4{\mu}m$) concentrations.

This paper was to analyze the membrane characterization of hydrophilicity, surface morphology and membrane chemical anlysis of three commercial microfiltration/ultrafiltration membranes, and evaluate the filtration performance of a seawater to assess the availability for pretreatment of desalination process. From the results of contact angle, Mem-3, fabricated with polyacrylonitrile, was highly hydrophilic. It find out that Mem-3 has more anti-biofouling property. In Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), Mem-1 (polyethylene) and Mem-2 (Polyvinylidenefluoride) showed the sponge-like shape and Mem-3 showed finger-like shape. Membrane chemical analysis by energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) presented that Mem-2 was mostly fluoride and Mem-3 had s high ratio of N (32.47%) due to the nitrile group. The permeation flowrate per time on suction pressures using deionized water (D.I. water) tends that permeation rate of Mem-3 more increased when the pressure was increased compared to other membranes. From the results of turbidity and total suspended solids (TSS) removal, turbidity of permeate was 0.191 NTU to 0.406 NTU and TSS was 2.2 mg/L to 3.0 mg/L in all membranes, indicating that it was not suitable for the pretreatment of seawater desalination by short-term experiments.

In order to obtain knowledge on the design and operation of practical?scale Cylinder-Shaped Filters, pilot experiments were conducted to observe the effects of stepwise augmentation of production rate on water quality and clogging. A production rate increase from 0.8 L/min to 2.4 L/min did not appear to affect the removal efficiencies of BOD(Biochemical Oxygen Demand), SS(Suspended Solids), and turbidity, as the values were maintained around 80%, over 95%, and over 90% respectively;however, COD(Chemical Oxygen Demand) removal decreased from 44% to 29%. In addition, results indicated an inverse relationship between production rate and detention time required to remove unit contaminant concentration, the observed detention time in the filter to remove 1 mg-COD/L being 83 minutes for the production rate of 0.8 L/min and 45 minutes for the production rate of 2.4 L/min, suggesting that a relatively higher production rate is likely to be more advantageous in the purification of reservoir water when compared to a lower production rate. Clogging was observed to originate from the surface and advance to the center of the filter, and although clogging seemed to increase as the production rate increased, this did not cause any difficulties in normal functioning of the filter for more than 2 years of operation, suggesting that this filter system can be used effectively in the purification of reservoir water.

The effect of water back-flushing period (filtration time, FT) was investigated in hybrid process of alumina microfiltration and photocatalyst for advanced drinking water treatment in this study, and compared with the previous studies with carbon microfiltration or alumina ultrafiltration membranes. The FT was changed in the range of 2~10 min with fixed 10 sec of BT. Then, the FT effects on resistance of membrane fouling ($R_f$), permeate flux (J) and total permeate volume ($V_T$) were observed during total filtration time of 180 min. As decreasing FT, $R_f$ decreased and J increased as decreasing FT, which was same with the previous results with carbon microfiltration or alumina ultrafiltration membranes. The treatment efficiency of turbidity was high beyond 98.1%, and the effect of FT was not shown on treatment efficiency of turbidity, which was same with the previous result of carbon microfiltration. The treatment efficiency of organic matters was the highest value of 89.6 % at FT 8 min, which was a little higher than those of the previous results, and the effect of FT was not shown on treatment efficiency of organic matters.
