Hydrophilic and high modulus PPTA molecules were incorporated into PVDF matrix via the in situ polymerization of PPD and TPC in PVDF solution. PPTA/PVDF/NWF blend membrane was prepared through the immersion precipitation phase inversion method and nonwoven coating technique. The membrane integrated technology including PPTA/PVDF/NWF blend membrane and reverse osmosis (RO) membrane was employed to treat the polyester/viscose spunlace nonwoven process wastewater. During the consecutive running of six months, the effects of membrane integrated technology on the COD, ammonia nitrogen, suspended substance and pH value of water were studied. The results showed that the removal rate of COD, ammonia nitrogen and suspended substance filtered by PPTA/PVDF blend membrane was kept above 90%. The pH value of the permeate water was about 7.1 and the relative water flux of blend membrane remained above 90%. After the deep treatment of RO membrane, the permeate water quality can meet the water circulation requirement of spunlace process.

This study evaluated the performance of a thermophilic two-phase anaerobic digestion (TTPAD) coupled with membrane process treating garbage leachate. The pilot-scale treatment system is consisted of thermophilic acidogenic reactor (TAR) and thermophilic methanogenic reactor (TMR) coupled with an ultrafiltration (UF) membrane unit. The hydraulic retention time of TAR and TMR were 4 and 20 days, respectively. Effluent TCOD and SCOD of the TTPAD were $25\;{\pm}\;6\;and\;12\;{\pm}\;3$ g/L, respectively, and the corresponding TCOD and SCOD removal efficiencies were 77% and 81%, respectively. Propionate was major acids as 75% in the effluent. Scum formation was not observed in TTPAD, which might be resulted from complete lipid degradation. However, TTPAD was appeared to be sensitive to free ammonia toxicity. The UF membrane was operated with constant pressure filtration at average TMP 1.3 atm. Permeate flux had a range of 15-30 $L/m^2/hr$. With UF membrane, TCOD removal increased from 77% to 93%, and this SS free effluent would be beneficial to subsequent processes such as ammonia stripping.

Nitrogen and sulfur deposition was measured on Lake Pal dang from March 2002 to October 2003. Wet and dry depositions were separately measured using wet- and dry-only samplers, respectively. In order to measure the dry deposition to the water body, a dry deposition sampler composed of three pans filled with pure water, called the deposition water, was used. Since ammonium was generally in excess in ambient air, more than half of ammonium was present in the gaseous form. Ammonium concentration was also generally higher than the sum of major anion concentrations in the deposition water because gaseous species were much easily deposited than the species in fine particles. Nevertheless, the contribution of gaseous ammonia to the deposition of ammonium was not high as well as that of particulate ammonium while the contribution of gaseous nitric acid was much higher than that of particulate nitrate. Annual wet deposition fluxes of nitrogen and sulfur were five and six times higher than their dry deposition fluxes, respectively. Except for ammonium, the dry deposition flux estimated in the present work was a half of the previous results. This was mainly caused by much smaller dry deposition velocities over the water than over the ground.

해수에서 퇴적층으로 향하는 우라늄 제거 과정과 플럭스를 연구하기 위해 1996년 10월 16일과 1997년 8월 25일에 천수만 입구지역에서 공극수와 해저상자(benthic chamber, BC) 내부시료를 채취하였다. 공극수로부터 추정된 우라늄 플럭스는 해수~퇴적물 경계면에서 0.112~0.566 mg/$m^2yr$ 이었으며, 해수에서 퇴적물로 제거되는 양상을 보였다. 황해 전체로는 $4.3{\sim}21.5{\times}10^7$ g/yr의 우라늄이 제거되며 이는 전지구적 제거 플럭스의 0.4~2.2%에 달하는 값이다. 같은 방법으로 추정된 영양영 플럭스는 암모니아성 질소 135.6 mmol/$m^2yr$, 질산성 질소 228.2 mmol/$m^2yr$, 인산염 36.8 mmol/$m^2yr$, 그리고 규산염 23.9 mmol/$m^2yr$로 공극수에서 저층 해수로 용출되고 있다. 공극수중 질산성 질소와 퇴적물 망간의 수직 분포도로부터 산화환원 경계층이 퇴적물 표충하 3~5 cm 깊이에 존재함을 추정할 수 있었다. BC를 이용한 인산염 플럭스는 28.5 mmol/$m^2yr$로서 공극수를 통한 추정값과 비슷하였다. 반면에 BC를 이용한 우라늄과 규산염 플럭스 추정치는 공극수에 의한 값보다 두 자릿수 정도로 큰 값을 나타내었다. 공극수내 농도 분포로부터 추정된 우라늄과 영양염의 플럭스 추정치가 BC를 통한 추정치보다 더욱 신뢰도가 높다고 판단된다.

국내 발생 암모니아 중 가축분뇨의 기여율이 높은 것은 자명한 사실이다. 암모니아 배출량 산정 과정의 정확도와 신뢰도 향상을 위해서는, 가축분뇨 발생량의 정확한 집계, 가축분뇨의 퇴비화 및 액비화 과정에서 단계별 암모니아 전환량과 발생량 산출, 퇴액비의 저장 및 운송과정에서의 암모니아 발생량 산정 그리고 토양 살포 과정과 방법에 따른 암모니아 발생량 비교 연구가 반드시 수행되어야 할 것이다. 미국과 유럽과 비교해 볼 때, 특히 국내 배출계수가 상대적으로 매우 획일적이고 시공간적으로 세분화되지 못해 국내 실정을 충분히 반영하지 못하고 있다. 암모니아 배출계수 산정의 정확도와 전문성을 향상 시킬 수 있는 방안으로, 퇴액비의 특성, 토양의 특성 그리고 기후 특성의 복합적인 고려가 가능한 챔버시스템을 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 국내외 암모니아 배출과 관련한 자료의 검토와 비교를 통해 현재 국내 시스템의 부족한 점과 나아가야할 방향을 확인할 수 있었으며, 암모니아 배출유량 산정이 가능한 챔버 시스템을 제언하였다. 향후 누락배출원의 신규 배출계수 산정과 같은 실질적인 정책과의 연계를 위해서는 실내의 챔버 시스템에서 더 나아가 현장에서의 mesocosom 시스템의 방법론 구축 또한 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Domestic ruminant animals are reared in diverse production systems, ranging from extensive systems under semi-arid and tropical conditions with poor feed resources to intensive systems in temperate and cold areas with high quality feed. Nitrogen (N) recycling between the body and gut of ruminants plays a key role in the adaptation to such diverse nutritional conditions. Ammonia and microbial protein produced in the gut and urea synthesized in the liver are major players in N-recycling transactions. In this review, we focus on the physiological factors affecting urea production and recycling. Sheep and buffalo probably have higher abilities to reabsorb urea from the kidney compared with cattle. This affects the degree of urea-N recycling between the body and gut at both low and high N intakes. The synthesis and gut entry of urea also differs between cattle bred for either dairy or beef production. Lactating dairy cows show a higher gut entry of urea compared with growing cattle. The synthesis and recycling of urea dramatically increases after weaning, so that the functional development of the rumen exerts an essential role in N transactions. Furthermore, high ambient temperature increases urea production but reduces urea gut entry. An increase in total urea flux, caused by the return to the ornithine cycle from the gut entry, is considered to serve as a labile N pool in the whole body to permit metabolic plasticity under a variety of physiological, environmental and nutritional conditions.

Spectroscopic and electrostatic probe measurements were made to examine plasma characteristics with or without a metal plate for a 10-㎾-class direct-current arcjet Heat fluxes into the plate from the plasma were also evaluated with a Nickel slug and thermocouple arrangement. Ammonia and mixtures of nitrogen and hydrogen were used. The NH$_3$ and $N_2$+3H$_2$ plasmas in the nozzle and in the downstream plume without a plate were in thermodynamical nonequilibrium states. As a result, the H-atom electronic excitation temperature and the $N_2$ molecule-rotational excitation temperature intensively decreased downstream in the nozzle although the NH molecule-rotational excitation temperature did not show an axial decrease. Each temperature was kept in a small range in the plume without a plate except for the NH rotational temperature for NH$_3$ gas. On the other hand, as approaching the plate, the thermodynamical nonequilibrium plasma came to be a temperature-equilibrium one because the plasma flow tended to stagnate in front of the plate. The electron temperature had a small radial variation near the plate. Both the electron number density and the heat flux decreased radially outward, and an increase in H$_2$ mole fraction raised them at a constant radial position. In cases with NH$_3$ and $N_2$+3H$_2$ a large number of NH radical with a radially wide distribution was considered to cause a large amount of energy loss, i.e., frozen flow loss, for arcjet thrusters.

The compact structure and high-quality effluent of membrane bioreactors make them well-suited for decentralized greywater reclamation. However, the occurrence of membrane fouling continues to limit their effectiveness. To address this concern, a unique membrane module configuration was developed for use in a decentralized greywater treatment system. The module featured local aeration directly below a series of inclined membrane bundles, giving the overall module a twisted appearance compared to a module with vertically orientated fibres. The intent of this design was to increase the frequency and intensity of collisions between rising air bubbles and the membrane surface. Material related to the construction of custom-fit modules is rarely communicated. Therefore, detailed design and assembly procedures were provided in this paper. The twisted module was compared to two commercially available modules with diverse specifications in order to assess the relative performance and marketability of the twisted module with respect to existing products. Contaminant removal efficiencies were determined in terms of biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, ammonia, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and turbidity for each module. Membrane fouling was monitored in terms of permeate flux, transmembrane pressure, and membrane resistance. Following 168 h of operation, the twisted module configuration demonstrated competitive performance, indicating good potential for further development and commercialization.

A lab-scale Reverse Osmosis(RO) membrane reactor was installed to investigate the membrane permeability, characteristics of membrane fouling at each conditions, and performance of elimination at different trans-membrane pressure(TMP) in the liquid fertilizer accumulated system. Experimental setup was divided to three different TMP conditions. As a result of experiment, permeability of RO membrane was proportional to the increase of TMP and temperature. After experiment was completed, two types chemical cleaning(remove the organic foulant and inorganic foulant) was done, and recover rate of permeability was each 99.8, 99.7 and 99.7%, respectively. From this experimental data, membrane fouling could be determined that the most of it was recoverable in this system, and major reason of fouling was concentration polarization. Elimination rate of solute substance in the liquid fertilizer indicated very stable(above 99%), except ammonia nitrogen, and the most stable elimination rate was investigated at the highest TMP condition (Run 3).

용액의 pH, 주입방법, 온도, 유량의 변화를 주면서 질산알루미늄($Al_{3}(NO_{3})_3{\cdot}9H_{2}O$)을 암모니아수($NH_{4}OH$)로 침전시켜 베마이트(Boehmite)를 합성하였다. 베마이트 상이 형성되는 pH 범위와 입자의 형상과 기공특성에 미치는 합성 조건의 영향을 조사하였다. 베마이트는 반응 용액의 pH가 7.5~9일 때 형성되었고, P2jet 주입방법은 침전이 일어나는 동안 pH를 일정하게 유지할 수 있어 용액내의 반응에 참여하는 이온의 농도가 일정하게 유지되어 균일한 크기의 입자와 기공을 형성할 수 있게 하였다. 따라서 비표면적과 기공부피 두 가지 동시에 향상되었다. 온도가 올라갈수록, 유량이 감소할수록 비표면적과 기공부피가 증가함을 보이고, $60^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 미세섬유모양의 입자를 얻을 수 있었다. 최적의 조건은 pH 9에서 P2jet 방법으로 주입하고 반응온도 $90^{\circ}C$와 유량 2.5 mL/min을 유지하였을 경우로 비표면적은 $385.46m^2/g$이고 기공 부피는 1.0252 mL/g을 가지는 평균 10 nm의 기공이 형성된 다공성 베마이트를 얻을 수 있었다.
