Water environment is vital for our daily life, especially all living things, next to the air environment we breathe. In this regard, Great Britain is known as one of the most developed and well experienced countries which has developed a comprehensive system of the water environment management. In England and Wales, the National Rivers Authority was established in 1989, as an independent regulatory body taking over from the 10 Regional Water Authorities responsibility for the management of water environment. In Scotland, responsibility rests River Purification Boards and Island Council while, the Department of the Environment is the sole water authority for Northern Ireland. Overall results has made by the authority together with their strategies are reviewed in this paper.

The ejector is used to obtain a vacuum state, and it has been applied to a lot of industry field such as a heat engine, a fluid instrument power plant. a food industry, an environment industry etc., because there is no problem even it is mixed with any kind of liquid, gas. and solid. The flow characteristics in the ejector was investigated by a PIV and a CFD. The agreement between numerical analysis and experiment shows the validity of this study and the results of this study would be useful to the engineers who design for the flow systems for heating. ventilation. air conditioning and wastewater purification plants.

The flow characteristics in a bifurcated duct are investigated experimentally. Physical properties such as mean velocity vectors, mean vorticity, and total pressure distributions are obtained for three different Reynolds numbers (578, 620, 688) using PIV measurements and CFD analysis. Also, two different dividing ducts ($90^{\circ},\;60^{\circ}$) were selected for study. The results of this study would be useful to the engineers designing flow systems for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and waste-water purification plants.

Spherical active carbon materials have been used for the removal of pollutants in the area of food processing, water treatment, air purification, oral administration. Moreover, they are now expected to make an epoch in the areas of electronics, life science, environmental technology, and so on due to their superior physical properties. Carbon particles should be requested for the edgeless spherical shapes in order to minimize the loss due to the abrasion during the process and/or practical use, but the carbon particles manufactured from petroleum-based pitch do not meet these needs. Nowadays, thus, the spherical active carbon particles carbonized from various spherical polymer beads are studied with thermoplastic and/or thermosetting polymers. In this paper, the synthesis of spherical phenolic beads and furan beads, which are thermosetting polymers, and their carbonization techniques are examined.

The flow characteristics in a bifurcated duct are investigated experimentally. Physical properties such as mean velocity vectors, mean x-y stress distributions, mean vorticity and total pressure distributions are Obtained for three different Reynolds numbers(578, 620, 688) Using PIV measurements and CFD analysis. Also, three different rates of discharge Q=26.11 l/min, Q=28.11 $\ell$/min, Q=31.17 $\ell$/min) were selected foy experimental conditions. The results of this study would be useful to the engineer in designing the flow systems for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and wastewater purification plants.

The purpose of this paper is to study the removal of nitrogen oxide(NOx) using a wire-plate type plasma reactor with magnet attached for indoor air purification. In order to produce a more effective reactor, we conducted magnetic field simulations. The results of the magnetic field simulations show that NOx can be removed more effectively. The results from the magnetic field simulation show that when 7 magnets were applied to the reactor, the magnetic flux density was at its highest amount than when using 0, 3, or 5 magnets. From the data obtained by the simulation results a plasma reactor was made and thus, several experiments were conducted. The best removal efficiency was obtained with 14 W AC power to the reactor with 5 magnets.

Constant rate permeat experiments using polyethylene hollow fiber membranes were conducted in order to treat dam water for potable purposes. The experiments consisted of two series. One series consisted of six bench scale apparatuses, each having a $0.4m^2$ nominal permeat area, which were applied in determining the optimum operating conditions. The other series was comprised of two pilot scale plant, each having a $40m^2$ nominal permeat area. Both series were operated for six months. Coagulant was not used in any of the experiments. To suppress an increase in differential pressure between the inlet and outlet of the membrane, a hydrophilic membrane was found to be better than a hydrophobic membrane. Also, permeat flux should not be more than 0.03m/h, and air bubbling-washing for 1 minute should be conducted at 180 minutes intervals or less.

The model gas reaction tests were carried out to investigate the purification characteristics of methane on the exclusive catalyst for NGV. The experiment was conducted with the factors which affect the conversion efficiency of methane, such as Redox ratio, coexistence components of CO, MO, $H_2$O, precious metals and additives. The catalyst loaded with larger amount of pd and with additive La showed lower light-off temperature. In the presence of CO and NO, the conversion efficiency of methane was varied according to the kind of additive loaded. The conversion efficiency of methane was dropped for the catalyst loaded with La under lean air-fuel ratio, while it increased for the one loaded with Ti+Zr for the same condition. It was shown that the water vapor inhibited methane from oxidation by its poisoning on the surface of catalyst.

Wave breaking and breaking wave-induced hydrodynamics are very important subjects in the field of coastal and ocean hydrodynamics and engineering. In the coastal zone, a submerged breakwater has been increasingly popular, since it is one of nature-matching structures with multi- functions such as (1) wave energy dissipation by wave breaking and friction, (2) oxygen supply to sea by wave breaking and breaking wave, (3) water purification by entrained air bubbles, (4) keeping. good seascape. and (5) good habitat for sea livings. Recently, the breaking wave-induced high frequency pressure over a submerged breakwater is said to have a function of gathering sea livings around the structure, which has encouraged the construction of the submerged breakwater in coastal zone.
