The water treatment plants in Seoul Metropolitan Area, which are under Korea Water Resources Corporation(KOWACO)'s management, take water from Paldang Reservoir in Han River System for drinking water supply. There are taste and odor (T&O) problems in the finished water because the conventional treatment processes do not effectively remove the T&O compounds. As part of countermeasures for taste and odor control, KOWACO is planning to introduce advanced water treatment process such as ozone and GAC in near future. This study evaluated the removal characteristics of T&O and dissolved organic matter (DOM) to find design and operation parameters of advanced water treatment processes in a pilot-scale treatment plant. The GAC adsorption capacity for DOC in the two GAC system (GAC and $O_3$-GAC) at an EBCT of 14min was mostly exhausted after 9months. The differency of the removal efficiency of DOC between $O_3$-GAC and GAC increased with increasing operation time because the bioactivity in $O_3$-GAC process was enhanced by post-ozone process. Removal by conventional treatment was unable to reach the target TON(threshold odor number) of 3 but GAC systems at an EBCT(empty bed contact time) of 14 min were able to archive the target with few exception. During the high T&O episodes, PAC as a pretreatment together with GAC could be useful option for T&O control. However, substantial TON removal continued for more than two year (> 90,000 bed volumes). At the spiking of less concentration 26 to 61 ng/L in the influent of GAC systems, GAC absorber and $O_3$-GAC processes could meet the treatment target. The better spike control after 12 and 19 months of operation compared to that after 7 months of operation is a strong indication of biological control. The results presented in this study had shown that $O_3$-GAC process was found to be more effective for T&O control than GAC process. And the main removal mechanism in GAC systems were adsorption capacity and biodegradation.

The rice husk contains nutrients which can be easily utilized by microorganisms, and also has a water retaining ability, which played a crucial part in enabling it to become a biofilter media. In this study, we evaluated the applicability of rice husk pellet bio-scrubber as a microbiological carrier. The pelletization experiment of rice husk as a biological media was performed using PVA and EVA binder. Also, the feasibility tests of rice husk as a biological media for odor removal were carried out in order to know whether rice-husk contains useful components as a media for microbiological growth or not. Lastly, a combined test for odor gas absorption and biological oxidation was conducted using a lab scale bio-filter set-up packed with rice-husk pellets as wet-scrubber. The major components of the rice husk were carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen, while carbon acted as the main ingredient which comprised up to 23.00%. The C : N : P ratio was calculated as 45 : 1 : 2. Oxygen uptake rate, yield and decay rate of the rice husk eluent was calculated to be $0.0049mgO_2/L/sec$, 0.24 mgSS/mgCOD and 0.004 respectively. The most stable form of rice husk pellets was produced when the weight of the rice husk, EVAc, PVAc, and distilled water was 10 : 2 : 0.2 : 10. The prepared rice husk pellets had an apparent density of 368 g/L and a porosity of 59.00% upon filling. Dry rice husks showed high adsorption capacity for ammonia gas but low adsorption capacity for hydrogen sulfide. The bio-filter odor removal column filled with rice husk pellets showed more than 99.50% removal efficiency for NH3 and H2S gas. Through the analysis of circulation water, the prime removal mechanism is assumed to be the dissolution by water, microbial nitrification, and sulfation. Finally, it was confirmed that the microorganisms could survive well on the rice husk pellets, which provided them a stable supply of nutrients for their activity in this long-term experiment. This adequate supply of nutrients from the rice husk enabled high removal efficiency by the microorganisms.

GMS(generalized Maxwell Stefan) 모형을 이용하여 나노기공성 TPABr (Tetrapropylammoniumbromide) templating 실리카/알루미나 복합막에서 $CO_2$와 $N_2$의 투과 및 분리 특성을 해석하였다. 담체로 쓰이는 메조포러스 알루미나 지지체에서의 기체 투과는 누슨 확산 (Knudsen diffusion) 및 점성 확산 (viscous diffusion 혹은 Poiseuille flow)에 의존하였으며, 이러한 투과메커니즘은 DGM (dusty gas model)을 통하여 규명할 수 있었다. 본 연구에 사용한 복합막의 분리 특성을 결정 짖는 TPABr templating silica layer의 경우 강한 흡착 특성으로 인하여, 기공 확산보다는 표면 확산(surface diffusion)을 나타내었다. 따라서 GMS 모형을 통해 다성분계의 표면 확산 투과/분리 메커니즘을 성공적으로 해석할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 사용된 복합무기막에서는 흡착량과 표면 확산 현상이 복합적으로 일어나기 때문에, 강흡착질인 $CO_2$와 비교적 약흡착질인 $N_2$ 혼합물 분리에 있어, $CO_2$의 pore-blocking 현상으로 인해 $CO_2$가 투과 농축되었다.

$Li^{+}$ extraction reactions with ion-exchange type lithium manganese oxide in an aqueous phase were examined using chemical and x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. In the process of extraction reaction, the lithium manganese oxide showed a topotactic extraction of $Li^{+ }$ in the aqueous phase mainly through an ion-exchange mechanism, and the $Li^{+}$ extracted samples indicated a high selectivity and a large capacity for $Li^{+}$ . The electronic structures and chemical bonding properties were also studied using a discrete variational (DV)-X$\alpha$ molecular orbital method with cluster model of (Li$Mn_{12}$ $O_{40}$ )$^{27-}$ for tetrahedral sites and ($Li_{7}$ Mn $O_{38}$ )$^{3}$ for octahedral site in $Li_{1.33}$ $Mn_{1.67}$ / $O_{4}$ respectively. Li in the manganese oxides is highly ionized in both sites, but the net charge of Li was greater for tetrahedral sites than octahedral. These calculations suggest that the tetrahedral sites have higher $Li^{+}$ $H^{+}$ exchangeability than the octahedral sites, and are preferable for the selective adsorption for L $i^{+}$ ions.s.

4 mol% Cd-doped ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$, 8 mol% Cd-doped ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ 및 12 mol% Cd-doped ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$상에서 CO 산화반응이 각기 연구되었다. Cd의 doping level에 관계없이 반응차수는 1.5차이며 CO에 대하여 1차, $O_2$에 대하여 O.5차이다. 350∼$460^{\circ}C$의 반응온도 범위에서 CO산화반응의 활성화 에너지는 10.10∼11.30Kcal/$mol^{-1}$ 이며 Cd-doped${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$의 전기전도도 데이타와 반응속도 데이타로부터 CO산화반응 메카니즘이 규명되었다. 특히 Cd doping 효과로부터 ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$의 촉매활성이 격자산소의 공위에 포획되어 있는 전자의 여기(excitation)에 기인된다는 사실이 밝혀졌으며 반응분자들의 흡착자리를 알게 되었다.

This study was carried out to find the adverse health effects of ozone by papers, the potential indoor sources of ozone by papers, and then the removal mechanism of ozone by experiments. The exposure of individuals to excessive levels of ozone both in the industrial and ambient environment is a continuing public health concern. Ozone indoors may play a role in generating secondary pollutants that may have adverse health effects. The removal efficiency of ozone was studied by (1) the effect of concentration on breakthrough time, (2) the effect of flow rate on breakthrough time, (3) the effect of adsorbent's weight on breakthrough time, (4) the effect of temperature on breakthrough time, (5) the application of Langmuir's isotherm equation in using activated carbon. The followings are the conclusions that were derived from this study. 1. In the effect of concentration on breakthrough time, the adsorption capacity of activated carbon was inversely proportional to ozone concentratuion (0.1, 0.2, 0.3 ppm). 2. In the effect of flow rate on breakthrough time, the service life of activated carbon was inversely proportional to flow rate (2, 8, 14l/min). 3. The difference in removal efficiency of ozone between weights(100 mg and 150 mg) was seen. And when weight of activated carbon was 100 mg and 150 mg, pressure loss was 4-5mmHg and 6-7mmHg, respectively. It is required to study relations among flow rate and adsorbent's weight and ventilation quantity, too. 4. Generally, Langmuir's equation, one of the oldest and most used frequently isotherm equation, applies to chemisorption. In case of ozone, when the weight of activated carbon was 70 mg and temperature 40, slope(1/a) was $6.25\times 10^{-1}$ and intercept(1/ab) was $1.9\times 10^{-4}$ (average r=0.94).

Objectives: The photocatalytic degradation of toluene in a batch mode photoreactor for the purpose of the hazardous waste treatment was investigated. Methods: Kinetic experiments using a low pressure mercury lamp (Lambda Scientific Pty Ltd, 50 Watt) emitting both UV and visible light were performed at $31^{\circ}C$ over toluene concentrations ranging from 10 to 50 mg/l in water with $50%TiO_2/6%WO_3$ (TW) concentration of 1 g/l at a pH of 6. Results: Kinetic studies showed that $50%TiO_2/6%WO_3$ (TW) photocatalyst was highly active in toluene degradation; we observed that 99% of the pollutant was degraded after six hours under visible irradiation; furthermore, we observed that adsorption onto TW catalyst was responsible for the decrease of toluene with pseudo-first order kinetics. It was also found that oxygen as a radical source in the sol medium played a significant role in affecting the photodegradation of toluene, especially with a two-fold elevation. This increase was achieved by a more than four-fold elevation of the photodegradation of toluene in the presence of acetone than without, presumably via an energy transfer mechanism. Conclusions: We concluded that photodegradation in acetone and oxygen molecules along with TW was an effective method for the removal of toluene from wastewater.

본 연구에서는 오 폐수의 처리에 있어서 천연제올라이트 및 맥반석을 활용하여 오 폐수의 응집 및 흡착 메커니즘에 적용하여 수처리제로서의 타당성을 검토하고자 하였다. Jar test를 이용한 응집 전 후의 $COD_{Cr}$의 제거율을 평가하였다. 맥반석과 천연제올라이트를 수처리제로써 주입량을 400~1,200 g/L로 변화시켜 처리한 결과 $COD_{Cr}$ 최종제거율은 별 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 맥반석과 천연제올라이트를 $600^{\circ}C$로 소결하여서 도시하수를 처리할 경우 $COD_{Cr}$제거율이 각각 15%, 3%정도 상승하였다. 또한 맥반석과 천연제올라이트를 혼합하여 미용화장지 폐수처리에 적용하였으며, 또 다른 폐수처리제로서의 가능성을 검토하였다.
