Whole amount of waste water, approximately 921.6 liter, for cleaning a ready mixed concrete truck should be used to produce concrete as a mixing water or cleaning water. Recycling water for concrete mixing contains solids, which cause decrease in slump, air and compressive strengths, so it may influence on poor concrete quality. Therefore, it has been maintained to use recycling water with less than 3 percent of solids. Since no evaluation system has been constructed to directly reflect on variability of recycling water from ready mixed concrete plants, it is necessary to develop "Automatic recycling solid measuring system" for quality controls in real time. In this research, sensors measuring waste water concentration in ultrasonic and inductance methods were developed, and automatic system using the sensors were established. The accuracy of measurement sensors developed for recycling water based on various conditions of concentration was proved, and application limits were evaluated. Also, concentration of recycling water using sensors developed from ready mixed concrete plant was measured, and curing method verified the accuracy of the sensors. Moreover, measurement sensors for recycling water in various locations were installed to evaluate the effects on measuring method and spots. The automatic measuring system for recycling water concentration, which is developed in the research, will contribute to improve concrete quality safety through reliable solids maintenance.

The electrostatic precipitator(ESP) is a device for removing particulate pollutants in the form of either a solid (dust or fumes) or a liquid (mist) from a gas using an electrostatic force, Electrostatic precipitation has been widely used for cleaning gas from almost all industrial processes with a medium to large gas volume(>2,000 $m^3/min$), including utility boilers, blast furnaces, and cement kilns. ESP is also in wide use for air cleaning in living environments (home, offices, hospitals, etc.) ESP has large advantages over other particulate control device : a low operating cost, a high collection performance, and ease of maintenance. The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of the smoke removal of an air cleaner by adjusting variable frequency and monitoring of turbidity three results of this research are as follows ;the first is the best efficient switching frequency which is 60Hz, the second is the smoke removal time which is obtained to 9 seconds, third is that the best efficient firing angle is $90^{\circ}$ As a result, the switching trigger frequency and SCR gate firing angle is very important factor to predict the best collection efficiency.

In this study, sewage was fed with up flow direction into a reactor equipped with a screw to circulate media that had lower specific gravity than water. It was observed that the media in the reactor could be circulated by a screw with reverse flow of the sewage feeding from the top to the bottom direction. Under these conditions, concentrations of inflow and outflow pollutants were measured at the filtration unit. Experimental results revealed stable circulation of the media with a screw in the reactor. Circulation of the media in the reactor showed more efficiency in removing the pollutants (particulate matters and organics) than no circulation. The maximum removal efficiencies of suspended solid (SS), chemical oxygen demand (CODmn), and total phosphorus (T-P) were 96%, 72% and 65%, respectively. Improvements for SS, CODmn and T-P removals with circulation of media were 52.38%, 43.14% and 118.12% respectively, compared to those without circulation.

In this paper, the relationship of chamber contamination and the intensity change of specific wavelength was investigated. "diff_CO" formula was introduced to rule out background noise caused by external conditions and to detect when the polymer is removed from the chamber. As RF time increased, diff_CO trend showed the decrease of the maximum peak and increased number of small intensity peaks. From the diff_CO change, it was possible to determine when the chamber needs to be cleaned without opening the chamber.

The APR1400 reactor may be operated for a long time under high temperature and pressure conditions, causing damage to the stud holes and causing stud bolts and holes to stick. The present practice is to manually remove the anti-sticking agent and foreign matter remaining in the APR1400 reactor stud hole and to visually check the surface condition of the thread to check the damage status of the threads. In the case of the APR1400 reactor stud holes, manually cleaning the threads increases the risk of radiation exposure and operator's fatigue. To avoid this, the autonomous mobile robot is used to automatically clean the reactor stud holes. The purpose of this study is to optimize the cleaning performance of the mobile robot by looking at the behavior of the surface roughness of the stud surface cleaned by the brush attached to the mobile robot due to changes in brush material, thickness of wire, and rotation speed. A microscopic approach to the surface roughness of the flank is needed to investigate the effects of the newly proposed brush of the autonomous mobile robot on the thread holes. According to this experiment, it is reasonable to use STS brush rather than Carbon one. Optimal operating conditions are derived and the safety of APR1400 reactor stud holes maintenance can be improved.

This study is a study on the implementation and operation of smart air cleaning system to improve indoor air quality. Recently, the problem of indoor air quality is getting serious due to various environmental factors. In this study, to improve the problems of indoor air quality, we implement an air cleaning system using IoT sensor. In particular, we proposed a system that can measure air pollution in real time and change different air flow paths according to pollution level. Through this, we examined efficient air quality improvement, extension of filter life, and system energy reduction. In addition, the main functions of the indoor air quality improvement system were constructed and prototypes were manufactured to confirm the operability. Finally, the utility of fine dust resolution through the implementation of the indoor air quality improvement system was examined.

This study investigated a possibility to develop an adsorption process for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of the solvent emitted during dry cleaning. Pitch activated carbon fiber (ACF) was chosen as an adsorbent of VOCs, and an electric swing adsorption process was utilized for the reproduction of the adsorbent after the completion of VOCs adsorption. Effects of ACF types and several solvents such as trichloroethylene (TCE) and toluene were examined on breakthrough curves and amounts of adsorbed VOCs. ACF was pretreated under various conditions in order to enhance the amounts of the adsorbed VOCs. Temperatures and voltages were measured for the reproduction of the ACF after full adsorption. ACF having micropores exhibited high adsorption of TCE, and high surface area of ACF could increase the adsorption property of toluene. In general, ACF could adsorb 41~54% TCE of the adsorbent weight. The increase of inlet VOCs concentration significantly decreased the breakthrough time and slightly lowered the amounts of adsorbed VOCs. Thus, ACF could effectively adsorb VOCs in low concentration in the feed stream. ACF pretreated by heat under vacuum showed excellent toluene adsorption with controlling oxygen functional groups on the ACF surface, which revealed that vacant carbon site could be the adsorption point of toluene. Most adsorbed toluene was desorbed at $150^{\circ}C$.

The sample book was printed in 1935. Since the books in the early twentieth century were printed using acidic paper, the color of the paper would change to brown over time due to iron corrosion. In addition to corroding iron cores, the acidity of the paper (pH 3.2) also made the paper brown and fragile, as was true in the case of the sample book. To clean the paper of the sample book and to make it strong, we replaced the iron core and performed wet cleaning on the paper to remove contaminants. Then we pressed the sample book dry, and subsequently linening every page with Minoshi($4g/m^2$). Generally, book conservator rebinding the book using wires or threads: however we have devised a new method to rebind the book using colored iron cores. To color the iron core brown, they were dipped in an aqueous coloring solution ($H_2O$, $C_2H_5OH$, $CuSO_4{\cdot}5H_2O$, $FeCl_3{\cdot}6H_2O$); subsequently, a 20% paraloid B-72 was applied to protect the colored iron cores from corrosion.

Plastic, widely used as a material for contemporary art, get damaged as directly exposed to temperature, humidity, ultra violet, etc. And it is very quickly damaged in early time, once damaged, it can't recover into original state. But like this characteristics, there is a few advanced research in Korea. So this study deal with a rising value of plastic artifacts in other country, United Kingdom and France, current conservation state, identification and cleaning method. Also 5 types of cleaners(distilled water, ethanol, acetone, eraser) and adhesives(cyanoacrylate, epoxy, acrylic, chloroprene rubber) were evaluated by produced plastics(PVC, PE, PP, PS, PU). As a result of experiment, ethanol and acetone that were previous evaluated in other research performed in other country are the best cleaner. Result of degradation after adhesive, cyanoacrylate and epoxy resin showed better performance and stability. As a basic research, this study is expected that can be used in future researches.

Generally, ready-mixed concrete(RMC) gets hardened by time, so the remaining concrete in the drum should be cleaned. But if the RMC waste water generated from this is discharged to soil without any treatment, the strong alkaline elements and heavy metals affect water and ecosystem pollution. Although about 10 to 15% of water used for cleaning in the RMC factory is discharged to soil or river, the concrete report of this affecting soil pollution has not been sufficient. Hence, in this study it was analyzed the extraction of cleaning water from RMC factories all over the country and heavy metal and pH components remaining in soil when this is penetrated to various soils having water permeability. The specimens used for the experiment are weathering soil and soils having different particle size, and it is made to be penetrated to those for 24 hours while fixed thickness of the layer is maintained. Cleaning water is divided into that before deposition treatment(sludge water) and that after deposition treatment(upper water) to be penetrated into soil, and according to the result of penetrating sludge water to soil, Cu and Mn, Fe, and Zn were found to be remained over 23 to 90%. However, it is analyzed that in upper water having deposition treatment, Cu and Mn remain as 60% or more only in weathering soil.
