This study introduces the development of new supercritical water oxidation(SCW)(multiple step oxidation) to destruct recalcitrant organic substances totally and safely by using sodium nitrate as an oxidant. This method has solved the problems of conventional SCW, such as precipitation of salt due to lowered permittivity, pressure increase following rapid rise of reaction temperature, and corrosion of reactor due to the generation of strong acid. Destruction condition and rate in the supercritical water were examined using Polyvinyl Chloride(PVC) and ion exchange resins as organic substances. The experiment was carried out at $450^{\circ}C$ for 30min, which is relatively lower than the temperature for supercritical water oxidation $(600-650^{\circ}C)$. The decomposition rates of various incombustible organic substances were very high [PVC$(87.5\%)$, Anion exchange resin$(98.6\%)$, Cationexchange resin$(98.0\%)$]. It was observed that hetero atoms existed in organic compounds and chlorine was neutralized by sodium (salt formation). However, relatively large amount of sodium nitrate (4 equivalent) was required to raise the decomposition ratio. For complete oxidation of PCB was intended, the amount of oxidizer was an important parameter.

This experiment was carried out at 450"C, which is relatively lower than the temperature for supercritical water oxidation (600-650$^{\circ}C$). In this experiment, the decomposition rates of various incombustible organic substances were very high. In addition, it was confirmed that hetero atoms existed in organic compounds and chlorine was neutralized by sodium(salt formation).However, to raise the decomposition rate, relatively large amount of sodium nitrate(3-4 times the equivalent weight) was required. When complete oxidation is intended as in the case with PCB, the amount of oxidizer and decomposition cost is important. But when vaporization reduction is required as in the case with nuclear wastes, the amount of radioactive wastes increases instead. But as can be seen in the result of XRD measurement, unreacted sodium nitrate remained unchanged. If oxidation reaction of organic substance simply depends on collision frequency, unreacted sodium nitrate can be recovered and reused, then oxidation equivalent weight would be sufficient. In the gas generated, toxic gas was not found. As the supercritical water medium has high reactivity, it is difficult to generate relatively low energy level SO$_{X}$, and NO$_{X}$.

The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of oxidation by-products for the formation of haloacetic acid (HAA) during ozonation. The phenol was used as a model precursor of HAA, and its oxidation by-products, such as hydroquinone, catechol, glyoxal, glyoxylic acid and oxalic acid were investigated to find out how much HAA formation potential (HAAFP) they have. As the result, among the phenol and its oxidation by-products, the highest reactivity with chlorine was found from the phenol, showing the highest HAAFP. Even though the tested by-products had a lower HAAFP than phenol, it was confirmed that all of them can act as the precursor of HAA. From the ozonation of phenol-containing water, it was found that the efficiency of ozone in controlling of HAAs can be reduced due to the oxidation by-products. In addition, the ozonation of HAAFP was performed under the both pH conditions (acid and base), and the result indicates that OH radical play a important role to decrease HAAFP.

The purpose of this study is the investigation of chemical properties of wool treated with oxidants and protease at low temperature. The chemical degradation of the fibers were investigated by measuring $\alpha$-amimo acid contents and FT-IR analysis. In addition, urea-hydrogensulfite solubility was measured to compare to the oxidation and protease treated wool. The results were as follows. 1) By the oxidation of wool, cystine is oxidised to cysteic acid by way of the intermediate oxides, cystine-S-monooxide and cystine-S-dioxide, in the case hydrolysis catalysed by the protease catalyse. Also, $\alpha$-amimo acid contents is increased, and urea-hydrogensulfite solubility was lower than that of untreated wool. This chemical degradation of wool was occurred due to oxidate hydrolysis in the order of permonosulfate>dichloroisocyanuric acid$\geq$chlorine. 2) The chemical degradation of wool was accelerated by the protease treatment of oxidized wool. Oxidation of wool is considered to make the fiber more susceptibled to enzymatic attact by opening disulphide bond within wool. Enzymatic attact was effectively directed to the wool oxidised by permonosulfate.

Tannery wastewater is known to contain high concentrations of organic compounds, pathogens, and other toxic inorganic elements such as heavy metals, nitrogen, sulfur, etc. Biological methods such as aerobic and anaerobic processes are unsuitable for tannery wastewater treatment due to its high salinity, and electrochemical oxidation offers a promising method to solve this problem. In this study, raw tannery wastewater treatment using DSA® Ti/RuO₂, Ti/IrO₂ and Ti/BDD electrodes with continuous flow systems was examined. Effects of current densities and electrolysis times were investigated, to evaluate the process performance and energy consumption. The results showed that a Ti/BDD electrode is able to reach higher treatment efficiency than Ti/IrO₂, and Ti/RuO₂ electrodes across all parameters, excluding Total Nitrogen. The main mechanism of tannery wastewater oxidation at a Ti/BDD electrode is based on direct oxidation on the electrode surface combined with the generation of oxidants such as °OH and Cl₂, while at DSA® Ti/RuO₂ and Ti/IrO₂ electrodes, the oxidation mechanisms are based on the generation of chlorine. After treatment, the effluents can be discharged to the environment after 6-12 h of electrolysis. Electrooxidation thus offers a promising method for removing the nutrients and non-biodegradable organic compounds in tannery wastewater.

The effect of permanganate oxidation was investigated as water treatment strategy with a focus on comparing the reaction characteristics of NaOCl and sodium permanganate (NaMnO₄) in algae (Monoraphidium sp., Micractinium inermum, Microcystis aeruginosa)-contained water. Flow cytometry explained that chlorine exposure easily damaged algae cells. Damaged algae cells release intracellular organic matter, which increases the concentration of organic matter in the water, which is higher than by NaMnO₄. The oxidation reaction resulted in the release of toxin (microcystin-LR, MC-LR) in water, and the reaction of algal organic matter with NaOCl resulted in trihalomethanes (THMs) concentration increase. The oxidation results by NaMnO₄ significantly improved the concentration reduction of THMs and MC-LR. Therefore, this study suggests that NaMnO₄ is effective as a pre-oxidant for reducing algae damage and byproducts in water treatment process.

Unusual bloom of toxic cyanobacteria in water bodies have drawn attention of environmentalists world over. Major bloom of Anabaena, Microcystis in water storage reservoir, rivers and lake leading to adverse health effects have been reported from Australia, England and many part of the world. These cyanobacterial cells can release intercellular matter like toxin in water and these intercellular matter can increase the concentration of organic matter. Cellysis can occur when algal cells meet the disinfectants like chlorine in water treatment plant and the resultant rising up of DOC(Dissolved Organic Carbon) or TOC(Total Organic Carbon) can increase the formation of disinfection by products. Disinfectants that kill microorganisms react with the organic or inorganic matter in raw water. In general disinfectants oxidize the matter in raw water and the resultant products can be harmful to human. There are always conflict about which is more important, disinfection or minimizing disinfection by products. The best treatment process for raw water is the process of the lowest disinfection by products and also the the lowest microorganism. In this study the cultured cells, Microcytis Aeruginosa(MA), Anabaena Flos-aquae(AF), Anabaena Cylindrica(AC), and the cells obtained in Daechung Dam(DC) whose dominant species was Anabaena Cylindrica were subjected to chlorination. Chlorination oxidizes inorganic and organic compounds and destruct live cells in raw water. Chloroform was analyzed for the cultured cells which were treated with $20mg/\ell$ dose of chlorine. In general chloroform is easily formed when dissolved organic matter react with chlorine. The cultured cells contributes the concentration of dissolved organic carbon and also that of total organic carbon which might be potent precusors of chloroform formed. The correlations of the concentration of chloroform, DOC and TOC were investigate in this study.

Not only efficiency of chlorine evolution reaction (CER) but also durability namely service life is very important property in dimensional stable anode for Ballast Water Management System (BWMS) for marine ships. Many researchers have been focused on improving efficiency of CER by controlling composition, phase and surface area for a long time, but the efforts to increase durability was relatively small. In this study, we have investigated the effect of $TiO_2$ protective interlayers on efficiency and durability of DSA electrodes. $TiO_2$ protective interlayers were prepared by thermal oxidation at 500, 600 and $700^{\circ}C$ on Ti substrate. And then the DSA electrodes consisting of $Ti/RuO_2-PdO-TiO_2$ were prepared by thermal decomposition method on $TiO_2$ interlayers. The efficiencies of CER of DSA electrodes without $TiO_2$ interlayer and with $TiO_2$ interlayer grown at 500, 600 and $700^{\circ}C$ were 94.19, 94.45, 84.60 and 76.75% respectively. On the otherhand, durabilities were 30, 55, 90 and 65 hours respectively. In terms of industrial aspect, the performance of DSA is considered high efficiency and durability which can correspond to total production of chlorine. If we considered the performance index of DSA as the product of efficiency and durability, performance indices could be recalculated as 28.26, 50.85, 76.14 and 49.89 respectively. As the thermal oxidation temperature increasing, life time were increased remarkerbly, while efficiency of CER was decreased slightly. As a result, DSA electrode with $TiO_2$ interlayer grown at $600^{\circ}C$ has shown about 2.7 times performace of original DSA electrode without $TiO_2$ interlayer.

디젤엔진은 내연기관 중에 제동 열효율이 가장 높은 엔진이기 때문에 큰 동력을 필요로 하는 대형트럭과 같은 중 대형 운송 차량 및 선박 등의 수송분야 및 발전시스템 등의 다양한 분야에서 사용되어지고 있다. 하지만, 디젤엔진은 연소과정에서 질소산화물(이하 NOx) 발생량이 많은 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 선박용 디젤엔진의 NOx를 저감하기 위해서 습식 배기가스 처리 기술인 무격막식 해수 전기분해 방식을 이용하여 NOx 저감을 시도하였다. 실제 해수를 사용하여 디젤엔진에서 배출되는 유해가스에 전기 분해된 해수인 전해수를 분사하여 보았다. 전해수의 pH 농도 및 유효염소농도, 온도에 따른 NO 산화율 및 NOx 감소량을 조사하였다. 본 실험을 통해서 전해수의 pH가 약산성 영역일 경우가 중성일 경우보다 산화탑에서의 NO 산화율이 상승하였고, 유효염소농도가 높을수록 NO 산화율이 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 전해수 온도는 NO 산화율에 영향이 없음을 추가적으로 확인할 수 있었으며 디젤엔진에서 생성된 배기배출물에 전해수를 분사함으로써 NOx가 저감됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

용융탄산염산화(MCO; Molten Carbonate Oxidation)는 염소유기화합물을 분해할 때 거의 대부분의 염소성분을 염내에 포집하여 다이옥신류 발생을 미연에 방지할 수 있기 때문에 염소유기화합물 처리를 위한 유망한 대체기술 중 하나로 고려되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2단 용융탄산염산화시스템에서 염소유기화합물($C_6H_5Cl$, $C_2HCl_3$ and $CCl_4$)과 PCBs 함유 절연유의 분해에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 용융탄산염산화반응기의 온도는 염소유기화합물 분해에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 1차 용융탄산염산화반응기에서 염소유기화합물의 분해는 효과적이었다. 그러나 CO가 현저하게 높은 농도로 배출되었다. 이러한 CO 배출농도는 1차 반응기의 온도와 산화용 공기 주입량을 증가시킴에 따라 크게 감소되었다. 2단 용융탄산염산화시스템에서 HCl 배출농도는 모든 조건에서 7 ppm 이하였으며 염내 염소성분의 포집효율은 99.95-99.99%였다. 절연유내 PCBs는 $900^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 효과적으로 분해되었으며 PCBs의 총 분해효율은 99.9999% 이상이었다.
