This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of pressure and dissolved oxygen concentration on the activated slut비e and to determine the optimum depth of deep shaft process. Some results from this study were summarized as follows. 1. It is considered that low sludge product in the activated sludge system maintaining high dissolved oxygen concentration is attributed to the increase of endogeneous respiration rate caused by the increase of aerobic zone in the sludge floe. 2. The increase of dissolved oxygen concentration does not affect to the increase of organic removal efficiency greatly and therefore the limiting factor is the substrate transfer into the inner part of floe. 3. The yield coefficient, Y is decreased in proportion to the increase of oxygen concentration. In this study, Y values arre ranged from 0.70 to 0.41 according to the variation of dissolved oxygen concentration from 18.0mg/$\ell$ to 258 mg/$\ell$. 4. The optimum depth of deep shaft process should be determined within the limits of non-toxicity to the microorganism and it is about loom in this study.

산소 플라즈마 처리에 따른 활성탄소의 산소 관능기 도입이 세슘 이온 흡착 특성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다. 산소 플라즈마 처리 시 주파수, 전력 및 산소 가스 유량은 각각 100 kHz, 80 W 및 60 sccm으로 고정하였으며, 반응시간을 변수로 수행하였다. 본 실험조건에서는 산소 가스와의 반응시간이 10분일 때 C-O-C 및 O=C-O 결합 내 산소 기능기 함량이 증가함에 따라 세슘 이온 흡착량이 증가하였다. 그러나 반응 시간이 15분일 때 산소 관능기 함량이 감소하게 되어 세슘 이온 흡착량이 오히려 감소되었다. 한편, 표면 처리된 활성탄소의 산소 함량과는 달리 그 비표면적 및 기공 특성은 산소 플라즈마 반응 시간에 따라 거의 영향을 받지 않았다. 결과적으로 산소 플라즈마 처리된 활성탄소는 미처리 활성탄소에 비하여 세슘 이온 제거율이 최대 97.3%까지 향상되었다. 이는 산소 플라즈마 처리로 활성탄소 표면에 도입된 C-O-C 및 O=C-O 결합 내 산소 기능기의 함량에 기인한 것으로 판단된다.

As-grown $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ films on MgO(100)substrates were prepated by a reactive co-evaporation method, and effects of activated oxygen plasma on the crystallinity and superconductivity at substrate temperature ranging from $450^{\circ}C$ to $590^{\circ}C$ were investigated. The film deposited under the activated oxygen plasma at the substrate temperature of $590^{\circ}C$ had a single crystal phase. Whereas, when films were deposited under only oxygen gas, they were not in perfect single crystal phase but with slight polycrystalline nature. When the substrate temperature was $590^{\circ}C$, $Tc_{zero}$'s were 83K and 80K for films with and without activated oxygen plasma, respectively. The critical temperature, the crystal structure and the surface morphology of as-grown films were found to be insensitive to the activated oxygen plasma which is introduced during deposition instead of oxygen gas, but the crystalline quality was improved somewhat by the introduction by the introduction of actvated oxygen plasma.

This article is concerned with the overview of activated carbons as electrode materials in electric double-layer capacitors. Firstly, this article introduced various types of activated carbons with their precursors and manufacturing conditions which can be divided into two main steps of the carbonization and activation processes. Secondly, the present article gave the detailed discussion about the porous structures and examined previous works on the electrochemical behaviors of activated carbons in relation to their porous structures, along with our recent works. Finally, this article characterized the surface oxygen functional groups and presented their influence on the electrochemical properties of activated carbons by reviewing our recent results.

The breakthrough behaviour of activated charcoal cloth samples against an oxygen analogue (OA) of sulphur mustard has been studied using the modified Wheeler equation. Activated charcoal cloth samples having different surface area values in the range of 481 to $1290m^2/g$ were used for this purpose. Breakthrough behaviour was found to depend on the properties of the activated charcoal cloth, properties of the OA and the adsorption conditions. Activated charcoal cloth with a high surface area of $1290m^2/g$, relatively large surface density of $160g/m^2$ and coarser fiber structure exhibited better kinetic saturation capacity value, 0.19 g/g, against OA vapours when compared to others, thus confirming its potential use in foldable masks for protection against chemical warfare agents.

The dissolved oxygen removal by H$_2$-O$_2$ reaction in column packed with various catalysts wes examined. The catalysts employed were the prepared polymeric catalyst platinum on activated carbon, and Lewatit OC-1045 which is available commercially. The column experiments with the prepared polymeric catalyst showed the dissolved oxygen reduced to 35 ppb which is below the limit in feed water of power plants. This implies the likely application of the prepared catalyst for practical use. The activated carbon required the pre-treatment for the removal of dissolved oxygen, since the surface of activated carbon contains much oxygen adsorbed initially. The Lewatit catalyst exposed the best performance, however, the aged one showed the gradual loss of catalytic activity due to degradation of resin catalyst.

본 실험에서는 활성탄소섬유에 산소플라즈마 처리를 실시하여 산소작용기 도입 함량에 따른 유독성 화학작용제의 모사 가스인 dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) 감응특성에 대하여 고찰하였다. 산소플라즈마 처리 유량이 증가할수록 활성탄소섬유 표면에 산소가 6.90%에서 최대 36.6%까지 도입되어 DMMP 가스 감응특성에 영향을 미치는 -OH가 증가하였다. 그러나 유량이 증가할수록 산소플라즈마 처리 시 발생한 산소 활성종으로 인하여 활성탄소섬유 표면에 식각이 발생하여 비표면적은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. DMMP 가스센서의 저항변화율은 산소플라즈마 처리 유량이 증가함에 따라 4.2%에서 최대 25.1%까지 증가하였다. 이는 산소플라즈마 처리로 인하여 활성탄소섬유에 발달된 -OH와 DMMP 가스의 수소결합으로 인한 것이라 여겨진다. 따라서 산소플라즈마 처리는 상온에서 유독성화학작용제 가스를 감지하기 위한 중요한 표면처리 방법 중 하나라고 판단된다.

This article is concerned with the overview of the activated carbon fibers. Firstly, this review provides a comprehensive survey of the overall processes for the synthesis of the activated carbon fibers from the carbonaceous materials. Subsequently, the physicochemical properties such as pore structures and surface oxygen functional groups of the activated carbon fibers were discussed in detail. Finally, as electrochemical applications of the activated carbon fibers to electrode materials for electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC), the electrochemical characteristics of the activated carbon fiber electrodes and the various methods to improve the capacitance and rate capability were introduced. In particular, the effect of pore length distribution (PLD) on kinetics of double-layer charging/discharging was discussed based upon the experimental and theoretical results in our work. And then we discussed in detail the applications of the activated carbon fibers to adsorbent materials for purification of liquid and gas.

An experimental study on improvement of the paper-mill wastewater treatment using the pure oxygen activated sludge process was conducted. The effects of hydraulic retention time(HRT) and BOD loading on organic removal efficiency were investigated. The BOD removal efficiencies were above 90% under all examined HRTs except for HRT of 3 hours. The increase of HRT from 3 hours to 6 hours, and to 12 hours significantly improved BOD and COD removal efficiencies, respectively. However, additional increase of HRT did not affect organic removal efficiency. F/M ratio change at fixed HRT did not affect organic removal efficiency. However, F/M ratio investigated in this study(0.11~1.98kgBOD/kgMLVSS/day) was 5 times greater in maximum than that of conventional activated sludge process, which implies that pure oxygen activated sludge process can treat wastewater with high organic strength. Under the same HRT, the volumetric BOD loading change cause no effect on organic removal efficiency also.

Toxicity evaluations using oxygen uptake rate (OUR) on activated sludge process were investigated. On toxicity evaluations of heavy metals, all toxicants in experiments decreased OUR with respect to the concentrations of the toxicants, while high toxicities with cyanide and mercury were observed respectively. On toxicity evaluations of composite heavy metals, composite toxicities had similar results as to the total sum of each toxicants that presents accurate toxicity evaluation using OUR. From these results, it is concluded that activated sludge is effective indicator for toxicity evaluation on wastewater of biological treatment plants.
