In this study, solid-liquid separation conditions for coagulation and sedimentation experiments using inorganic coagulant (aluminum sulfate and Poly-Aluminum Chloride (PAC)) were optimized with brine wastewater discharged by the epoxy-resin process. When the turbidity and suspended solid (SS) concentration in raw wastewater were 74 NTU and 4.1 mg/L, respectively, their values decreased the lowest in a coagulant dosage of 135.0 - 270.0 mg Al³⁺/L. The epoxy resin was re-dispersed in the upper part of wastewater treated above 405.0 mg Al³⁺/L. The removal efficiencies of turbidity and SS via dosing with aluminum sulfate and PAC were evaluated at initial turbidity and SS of 74 - 630 NTU and 4.1 - 38.5 mg/L, respectively. They increased most in the range from 135.0 - 270.0 mg Al³⁺/L. The solid-liquid separation condition was quantitatively compared to the correlation of SS removal efficiency between the coagulant dosage and SS concentration based on the concentration of aluminum ions. The empirical formula, R = be^aD, shows the relationship between SS removal efficiency (R) and coagulant dosage (D) at 38.5 mg/L; it produced high correlation coefficients (r²) of 0.9871 for aluminum sulfate and 0.9751 for PAC.

인산염 폐수와 불소폐수를 대상으로 각각 $La^{3+}$를 주성분으로 하는 희토수처리제와 조염화희토화합물로 제조된 수처리제를 적용하는 방안을 검토하였다. $La^{3+}$의 인산염 농도 대비 투입몰비에 따른 인산염의 제거양상을 조사한 결과, 투입몰비 0.25에서 약 50% 정도의 인산염이, 그리고 투입몰비 0.5 에서 대부분의 인산염이 제거되는 결과를 보였다. 희토수처리제에 의한 인산염 인의 제거반응은 평형에 신속히 도달하였으며, 온도증가에 따라 인산염의 제거율이 다소 감소하는 경향이 관찰되어 발열반응의 특성을 나타내었다. 희토-인산 결합체의 제타전위는 pH 5.5를 경계로 그 이하에서는 양의 값을, 그리고 그 이상에서는 음의 값을 가지는 것으로 파악되었으며 pH에 따른 제타전위 절대치의 증감과 탁도의 증감은 유사한 경향으로 변화하였다. 불소폐수에 대한 조염화희토 수처리제의 적용에 있어서는 수처리제의 투입량 중가에 따른 잔류불소 농도의 감소 및 탁도와 생생슬러지량의 증대현상이 관찰되었으며, 수처리제의 투입량이 고정된 상태에서 응집제량의 변화에 따른 불소처리효과에 대한 검토에서는 응집제의 주입량이 증가됨에 따라 잔류불소량 및 탁도는 감소하고 슬러지 발생량은 증가하는 경향이 파악되었다.

녹조 제어를 위하여 수중의 인 제거에 관여하는 CellCaSi의 여러 가지 조건별 인 제거효과를 조사하였다. CellCaSi의 입도에 따른 인 제거효과는 직경 1, 2 그리고 4mm 이하의 3가지 중 1mm 이하의 작은 입자를 사용했을 때 가장 우수하였다. CellCaSi의 인 제거효과는 처리량의 증가에 비례하였다. 수중의 pH 5, 7, 9에서 초기 인 농도 0.20mg/l는 각각 0.09, 0.08및 0.08mg/l로 감소되어 상이한 pH조건에 따른 CellCaSi의 인 제거효과는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. CellCaSi에서 용출되는 양이온은 Ca이며, Al과 Fe양이온은 검출되지 않았다. 초기에 급격히 용출된 Ca양이온은 수중의 인과 반응하는 것으로 확인되었다. 초기 인 농도 0.10, 1.0mg/1는 CellCaSi와 Ca, Fe 화합물을 첨가한 처리구에서 8일 후 각각 0.03,0.47mg/l를 기록하며 가장 많이 감소하였다. 이에 따라 인 제거효과는 CellCaSi와 Ca, Fe 화합물을 동시에 처리하였을 때 가장 좋은 것으로 조사되었다. CellCaSi의 처리에 따라 pH가 약간 증가하였고, 전기전도도도 증가되지만 상수원수 기준 허용치 (500${\mu}$S/cm) 이내였다.

최근 산업화에 따른 다양한 신종 미량유해물질의 등장과 지속적인 오염물질의 증가로 수질오염의 심각성과 그 위해성에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 특히 응집공정을 통하여 유기오염물질 제거를 좀 더 효율적으로 증가시킬 수 있는 방법들이 모색되고 있다. 본 연구는 도시하수 및 호소수를 대상으로 실험하였다. 응집공정에 사용하기 위해 응집 보조제로서 사용될 수 있는 지르코늄 실리케이트($ZrSiO_4$)의 특성을 연구 하였다. 응집공정에서의 지르코늄 실리케이트의 주입방법에 따른 유기물 제거율을 PDA (Photometric Dispersion Analyzer)를 통하여 평가하였다. 지르코늄 실리케이트는 pH 7에서 zeta-potential이 -32.22 mv였고 산성에 가까울수록 낮은 음(-)전하 값을 보였으며 지르코늄 실리케이트를 주입하지 않은 도시하수보다 주입하였을 때 $UV_{254}$ 값이 더 높은 특성을 나타내었다. 또한 PDA실험을 통하여 확인한 결과 지르코늄 실리케이트의 주입은 floc의 성장을 도와주는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Alum을 이용한 응집공정에 대한 지르코늄 실리케이트의 주입방법을 선 주입, 동시 주입, 후 주입의 3가지 방법으로 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 Alum과 지르코늄 실리케이트를 함께 주입한 경우 Alum을 단독으로 주입한 경우보다 유기물 제거율이 15% 이상 증가하였다. 특히 Alum 20 mg/L과 지르코늄 실리케이트 10 mg/L를 함께 사용한 경우 90% 이상의 높은 유기물제거율을 보였다. PAC (Poly Aluminium Chloride)와 PACS (Poly Aluminium Chloride Silicate)를 응집제로 이용하는 경우에도 지르코늄 실리케이트를 함께 주입 시 $COD_{Cr}$의 제거효율이 15% 이상 향상되었다. 결과적으로 지르코늄 실리케이트를 응집제와 동시에 주입한 방법이 전, 후로 주입한 경우보다 $COD_{Cr}$ 제거효율이 5~10% 높게 나타났으나, 용존성 물질은 시주입 시, 더 낮은 제거효율을 보였다.

PVC-Zeolite composite was prepared by immobilizing zeolite with polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The prepared PVC-Zeolite beads were characterized by using X-ray diffractometer (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), thermo gravimetric analyzer (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The removal properties of Sr and Cs ions from aqueous solution were investigated in batch experiment. The removal efficiencies of Sr and Cs ions by the PVC-Zeolite beads were dependent on the initial pH of solution. The removal efficiencies sharply increased at below pH 4 and was kept constant at pH 4 or more. The adsorption kinetics of Sr and Cs ions by the PVC-Zeolite beads were fitted well by the pseudo-second-order model ($r^2$>0.99) more than pseudo-first-order model. The maximum adsorption capacities of Sr and Cs ions calculated from Langmuir isotherm model were 39.37 mg/g and 55.87 mg/g, respectively.

The electrokinetically enhanced soil flushing had a great potential to improve the removal efficiency of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from low permeable soils. A semi-pilot study of surfactant-enhanced electrokinetic process was investigated for the removal of phenanthrene from kaolinite. A nonionic surfactant, Tergitol 15-S-12 at 10 g/L was introduced as a flushing agent and 0.001M of sodium chloride was used as an electrolyte. When the constant voltage of 100 V was applied to the system for 25 days, only 0.66 kWh of electric power was consumed and the amount of electroosmotic flow was 6.9 L. The removal efficiency of phenanthrene was about 40 % and it can be improved by increasing the ion concentration of the flushing solution or the applied voltage.

Chemically activated and carbonized adsorbents were prepared from Moringa oleifera pod husks (MOP), characterized and evaluated for their ability to remove a common antibiotic - ofloxacin (OFX) from aqueous solution. The pulverized precursor was steeped in a saturated ammonium chloride solution for a day to give the chemically activated adsorbent (AMOP). A portion of AMOP was pyrolyzed in a muffle furnace at 623 K for 30 min to furnish its carbonized analogue (CMOP). The adsorbents showed favorable physicochemical attributes. The effects of operational parameters such as initial OFX solution pH and concentration, adsorbent dosage, temperature and contact time on OFX removal were investigated. At equilibrium, optimal removal efficiencies of 90.98% and 99.84% were achieved at solution pH 5 for AMOP and CMOP, respectively. The equilibrium adsorption data fitted into both the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Gibbs free energy change (${\Delta}G^o$), enthalpy change (${\Delta}H^o$) and entropy change (${\Delta}S^o$) indicated that the adsorption of OFX was feasible, spontaneous, exothermic and occurred via the physisorption mode. Adsorption kinetics obeyed the Blanchard pseudo-second-order model. The results may find applications in the adsorptive removal of micro-contaminants of pharmaceutical origin from wastewater.

The possibility of application of membrane type immobilized adsorbent to the fed-batch or perfusion culture system with anchorage-independent cells as well as batch system was investigated. The improvement in cell density and cell viability due to the combination of immobilized adsorbent with each culture system was evaluated for the investigation, and the optimum culture system employing immobilized adsorbent system was suggested based on the results. It was observed that the system with immobilized adsorbent showed better cell growth and cell viability than that without immobilized adsorbent in every operation system of batch, fed-batch, and perfusion. In case of batch system, 200% improvement of maximum cell density was observed in the system where ammonium chloride was added on purpose. And 50% improvement of maximum cell density was observed in the fed-batch system where ammonium ion accumulates significantly, while small increase in maximum cell density was observed in the perfusion system where dilution of waste byproducts exists. Especially, the fed-batch system showed the most significant improvement on cell growth because both compensation of nutrient and removal of ammonium ion occurred simultaneously in the system. Therefore a combined system of immobilized adsorbent and fed-batch operation could be suggested as an optimum system with in situ removal of ammonium ion.

In this study, the removal of Ciprofloxacin (CPX) from aqueous solutions was investigated by a new activated carbon adsorbent prepared from orange peel (ACOP) with chemical activation using ZnCl₂. The physicochemical properties of orange peel activated carbon were characterized by proximate and ultimate analysis, scanning electron microscopy, BET surface area determination and Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopic studies. According to Brunauer-Emmett-Teller isotherm and non-local-density functional theory, the cumulative surface area, pore volume and pore size of ACOP were determined as 1193 m² g^-1, 0.83 cc g^-1 and 12.7 Å, respectively. The effects of contact time, pH, temperature and ACOP dose on the batch adsorption of CPX were studied. Adsorption equilibrium data of CPX with ACOP were found to be compatible with both the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. CPX adsorption capacity of ACOP was calculated as 181.8 mg g^-1 using Langmuir isotherm. The CPX adsorption kinetics were found to be harmonious with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Conclusively, ACOP can be assessable as an effective adsorbent for the removal of ciprofloxacin (CPX) from aqueous solutions.
