Adsorption and leaching characteristics of the artificial soils produced from water and wastewater treatment sludges were examined. The batch adsorption test and TCLP leaching test were used, and constituents of interest were heavy metals and nutrients. As, Cr, Cu, Pb, and Cd were analyzed for metals, and nitrogen and phosphorus were analyzed for nutrients. All the artificial soils showed strong adsorption and low leaching for the heavy metals, which implies that the artificial soils may not be hazardous to the environment due to heavy metals and even they can be utilized effectively to remove metals in solution like mine and industrial wastewaters. This is quite promising result because in most case heavy metals are the most concern in the application of sludge product to the farmland. For the nutrients, generally, artificial soils showed high adsorption and low leaching except artificial soil from wastewater sludge produced by low temperature firing. The artificial soils produced from water treatment sludge were active in adsorbing nutrients and showed low leaching that they can be practically used to remove nutrients in advanced treatment process of the wastewater. The artificial soils produced from wastewater treatment sludge were less active in adsorbing nutrients and showed high teaching. However, they could be used usefully if applied properly to the plant growing because of their fertilizing effect. Based on the test results, overall, the artificial soils were thought to be not hazardous to the environment and they could be more useful if applied properly.

This study was performed to provide basic information for evaluating the efficiency and applicable extent of photocatalysis and ozonation for the treatment of dye wastewater. The treatability of dye wastewater by $UV/TiO_2$ and $UV/TiO_2/O_3$ advanced oxidation process (AOP) was investigated under various conditions. The experiments were conducted in a batch reactor of 50 liters equipped with twelve UV Lamps of 16W. In $UV/TiO_2$ AOP, the removal efficiency of TCODMn and Color increased to 58% and 67% respectively with increasing UV intensity. Also, The removal efficiency of TCODMn and Color increased to 97% and 99% respectively with increasing $H_2O_2$. Acid area was more efficient than neutral and alkalic areas in wastewater treatment, and pH 5 was the most effective and the treatment efficiency continually increased as the amount of photocatalyst was increased. When the photocatalyst was increased, TCODMn was removed faster than Color.

본 연구에서는 정수처리용 세라믹 한외여과 빛 광촉매의 혼성공정에서 휴믹산 농도 및 광산화, 흡착의 영향을 알아보았다. 휴믹산 농도 각각 2mg/L와 4 mg/L 일 때 UF 단독 공정 및 광촉매를 투입한 공정, UV를 조사한 공정을 막오염에 의한 저항$(R_f)$ 및 투과선속(J), 총여과부피 $(V_{\Upsilon})$ 측면에서 고찰하였다. 휴믹산 농도가 낮아질수록 $R_f$는 급격히 감소하고 J는 증가하여, 휴믹산 농도 2 mg/L에서 $V_{\Upsilon}$는 가장 높았다. 탁도의 평균 처리효율은 휴믹산 농도가 증가할수록 감소하였으나, 4 mg/L에서 휴믹산의 처리효율이 가장 높았다. 이러한 결과는 낮은 휴믹산 농도에서 휴믹산 대부분이 분리막에 의해 제거되고 막을 통과한 일부 휴믹산은 광촉매에 흡착 산화되어, 처리수의 수질이 휴믹산 2 mg/L 와 4 mg/L 에서 거의 같고 원수의 수질은 4 mg/L에서 더 높기 때문이다. 광산화와 흡착의 영향 실험에서 UF + $TiO_2$ + UV 공정의 J가 가장 높게 유지되어, 180분 운전 후 $V_{\Upsilon}$가 가장 높았다. 휴믹산 및 탁도의 처리효율을 비교한 결과, 휴믹산 농도가 2 mg/L 에서 4mg/L로 증가하였을 때 광산화 보다 광촉매 흡착이 더 주요한 역할을 하였다.

본 연구는 축산분뇨 처리장(바이오가스 플랜트) 액비의 고도처리에 적합한 공정을 도출하기 위한 기초 연구이다. 액비를 고도처리하기 위하여 나노여과 및 역삼투(reverse osmosis) 공정을 각각 사용하였고, 전처리공정으로서 담체를 첨가하지 않은 MBR과 담체를 첨가한 MBR을 각각 적용하여 비교하였다. 액비의 질소는 주로 암모니아성 질소의 형태로 존재하였다. MBR의 운전에서 담체(biomedia) 유무에 따른 COD, T-N 및 T-P의 제거효율에서 큰 차이는 없었으나, 담체를 첨가한 MBR의 TMP는 담체를 첨가하지 않은 MBR에 비해 매우 서서히 증가하였다. 전처리 공정으로 담체를 첨가한 MBR 공정을 사용한 경우, NF에 의한 COD, T-N 및 T-P의 제거효율은 각각 99.8, 86.5% 및 99.8%이었으며, RO에 의한 제거효율은 각각 99.9, 86.8% 및 99.9%이었다. MBR과 NF/RO 공정을 이용하여 처리한 액비의 최종 수질은 분뇨처리장 방류수 수질기준과 비교하였을 때, COD와 T-P는 방류수 수질기준을 만족하였으나, T-N은 수질기준에 부적합하였다. 따라서 T-N에 대한 방류수 기준을 만족시키기 위해서는 MBR 조업 cycle의 조정 또는 나노여과/역삼투에 의한 2차 재처리 등의 개선이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문은 California의 South Lake Tahoe, 서울 뚝섬정수장 그리고 성남 복정정수장에서 2010년 2월에서 2012년 2월까지 수행된 파일럿 실험에 대한 분석결과를 기초로 작성되었다. 본 실험의 목적은 첫째, 한강을 원수로 하는 모래여과 처리수에 대한 오존 및 과산화수소(Peroxone)의 반응특성을 파악하고, 둘째는 AOP(고도산화공정)을 통해 맛 냄새 유발물질인 2-methylisoborneol(MIB)를 제거하기위한 경험적인 오존 및 과산화수소의 투입량을 결정하고자 하였다. 또한 셋째로, 처리공정이후 인체에 안전한 잔류오존농도로 감소시키기 위한 최적 투입량을 결정하고자 하였다. 본 실험은 계절의 기온변화에 따라 저수온 및 고수온의 조건하에서 실시간으로 수행되었다. 본 실험을 통해 오존의 분해속도는 온도와 pH에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 다른 연구결과와 일치한다. 원수로 모래여과수에 MIB를 40~50ng/L의 농도로 투입하였으며, 모든 경우에서 7ng/L 이하로 처리되었으며 대부분의 경우에서 검출(ND)되지 않았다. Peroxone은 MIB을 제거할 뿐아니라 오존을 단독으로 사용한 경우보다 오존+과산화수소 동시에 투입한 경우에 잔류오존농도가 더 낮았다. 저수온에서 상당량의 오존이 반응 및 분해를 통해 감소된다. 본 실험을 통해 "Pre-Conditioned" 과산화수소를 적용함으로써 초기 반응율을 향상시키고 잔류오존농도를 낮출 수 있었으며, 약품의 과투입 및 효율저하를 방지하는 과산화수소의 투입 위치 및 구성 그리고 투입방법을 제시하였다.

Risk assessment on Jeju Special Self-Governing Province(JSSGP)'s water supply facilities and establishment of adaptation measures for climate crisis factors were implemented. JSSGP's vulnerability to the climate crisis was high in the order of drought, heat wave, heavy rain and strong wind. As a drought adaptation measure, policies of water saving and revenue water ratio improvement were considered. As for the heat wave adaptation measure, the introduction of an advanced water treatment process was suggested in response to the increase of algae cell number which resulting in taste and odor problem. As for heavy rain adaptation measures, the installation and operation of automatic coagulant injection devices for water purification plants that take turbid surface water were proposed. As a measure to adapt to strong winds, stabilization of power supply such as installation of dual power line was proposed in preparation for power outages. It is expected that water facilities will be able to supply high-quality tap water to customers even under extreme climate conditions without interruption through risk assessment for climate crisis factors and active implementation of adaptation measures.

The effect of cooling rate on the damping capacity of pure Mg was studied. Two Mg samples with different cooling rates were prepared by heat treatment at 873 K for 24 h, followed by water quenching and by furnace cooling to room temperature, respectively. The average grain sizes of the Mg samples were almost identical regardless of the cooling rate, but more twins were observed in the sample with faster cooling rate. The calculated vacancy fraction was higher in the fast cooling sample than the slow cooling one. It is noted that the fast cooling sample exhibited lower damping capacity both in the strain-amplitude independent and strain-amplitude dependent regions. Higher values of vacancy concentration and number density of twins in the fast cooling sample are considered to be responsible for the deteriorated damping capacity in the strain-amplitude independent and strain-amplitude dependent regions, respectively.

Autism patients in general have bad oral hygiene. It is hard for autism patients to get dental treatment as poor communication. Therefore, they may have to be treated by deep sedation or general anesthesia in numerous cases. However, this process requires induction with mask, so it is not easy to do for disobliging autism patient. Midazolam is a water-soluble benzodiazepine, has been used in pediatric dentistry or dentistry for the handicapped because of rapid onset. Midazolam can be administered through oral, rectal, intramuscular,intravenous, and intranasal (IN) routes. IN route of midazolam may be considered as effective way to allay for uncooperative autism patients before general anesthesia. In this case report, two autism patients required dental treatment. Intranasal spray of midazolam before general anesthesia was safe and effective procedure of behavioral management.

This process which has a connection of biofilter and sulfur-limestone has been developed to treat organic substances including BOD, COD and SS etc. and to treat sulfur-limestone is for denitrification.. The whole process consists of chemical reaction tank, sedimentation tank, trickling filter, denitrification tank The trickling filter is equipped with a reactor filled with absorptive filter, and the sulfur denitrification tank is filled with sulfur-limestone mixed media. After setting up practical facilities whose capacity is 60 tons a day, we have observed the removal efficiencies of pollutants through 60 experiments during Summer and Winter seasons. The average concentration of polluted water was BOD for 3.6 mg/L, $COD_{Mn}$ for 11.3 mg/L, SS for 2.8 mg/L, T-N for 8.6 mg/L, and T-P for 0.8 mg/L, and the rate of treatment efficiencies 96.5%, 84.7%, 96.5%, 79.2%, and 80.8%, respectively was found through the experiments. The average treatment efficiency for BOD and $COD_{Mn}$ was 85.0% and 55.7%, respectively and the average removal efficiency for NH4+-N was 84.9% in the trickling filter. The removal efficiency in the denitrification tank is as follows; The removal rate of $NO_3^--N$ was as high as 93.2% within the compass of pH 6.3 to 7.3 through $16.8{\sim}37.0mg/L$ flown into $NO_3^--N$ and $0.1{\sim}8.3mg/L$ outflown. It had observed that this process has implemented highly efficient and advanced treatment without external carbon sources and internal recycle during its process. In conclusion, this process is suitable for a sewerage in a small village due to the merits of low power consumption and easy maintenance.
