This study was conducted in order to investigate bulk organic matter characteristics and behavior of geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) during riverbank filtration, which are general surrogates of taste and odor in drinking water. Column studies were used to simulate bank filtration systems. Most of the aliphatic organic matter was removed effectively after soil passage, and it is believed to be polysaccharides according to LC-OCD and F-EEM analysises. Removal efficiencies of geosmin and 2-MIB within the filtration column reached above 95%. It was found that the removal of total dissolved organic matter has a correlation with that of geosmin and 2-MIB in the near of filtration surface (about 50cm).

The main purpose of this research is to find suitable treatment methods of wastewater effluent for artificial recharge. For this purpose, we search the effluent quality of wastewater treatment plant and possibility of additional filtration process. Particles ranged 2 ~ 5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 15~20 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in "T" WWTP(Waste Water Treatment Plant) effluent were relatively dominant. In dual-media filtration system operation, head-loss development of column 1 was about two times faster than column 2, and head-loss development within 5 cm from surface was very important factor in operation, Conclusively, for the stable filtration and running time of 1.5~2 day, influent turbidity must keep 5 NTU or below, and filtration system must operated at 280 m/day or below. After filtration of WWTP effluent, water quality reached satisfactory level. This water has potential of agricultural reusing, flushing water in building, recharging water to river or stream at dry season and artificial recharge of ground water.und water.

Sixty semen ejaculates collected at weekly interval from four Murrah Buffalo bulls over a period of seven months (Nov.1999 to May 2000) were used in the present study. Three buffer medium (sodium citrate, TES and Tris) were used for soaking of sephadex. Three grades of sephadex (G-15,G-100, and G-200) were used for preparation of columns. Columns of three different height (one, two and three cm) were used for separation of semen. Twenty semen ejaculates were used in each project. In the first experiment each semen ejaculates was divided into four parts. One part was kept as control and other three parts were passed thought one cm column of sephadex G-15 prepared in three different buffers. There was significant (p<0.05) increase in percent progressive sperm motility and percent live spermatozoa and decrease in percent abnormal spermatozoa and percent spermatozoa with damaged acrosome as well as sperm numbers after filtration through all the three columns. Sperm quality obtained in the filtrate of column prepared in Tris buffer was better in comparison to other two buffers. So the Tris buffer was used in the second trial. Twenty semen ejaculates were used in this experiment. Each semen ejaculate was divided into four parts. One part was kept as control (non-filtered) and other three parts were passed through columns of different grade of sephadex (G-15, G-100 and G-200). Progressive sperm motility and live sperm percentage improved significantly while decline in percent abnormal spermatozoa and percent spermatozoa with damaged acrosome and sperm concentration was observed after filtration through all the columns as compared to control (non-filtered) semen. Since post filtration quality of semen was better in the sephadex G-100 column, therefore it was selected for the next experiment. In third experiment, Tris buffer and sephadex G-100 were used for preparing columns of different height (one, two and three cm) and twenty semen ejaculates were filtered. The quality characteristics of semen (percent progressive sperm motility, percent live spermatozoa and sperm concentration) after filtration through one cm column were significantly (p<0.05) higher than after filtration through columns of two and three cm height. However non -significant (p>0.05) difference due to height of columns was observed for percent abnormal and percent damaged acrosome but 1 cm column comparatively gave better result than of 2 and 3 cm column height.

Because of their simplicity, efficiency, and economy, slow sand filters are appropriate means of water treatment for small water systems. In this study, the effect of filtration velocity and dirty skin (Schmutzdecke) was evaluated on the performance of turbidity removal. Also, removal characteristics of particulate were investigated in the case of the usage of non-woven fabric on the surface of sand and the application of PCF as pretreatment process. Comparative column tests were carried out for the various operation condition. From the result of column tests, filtration velocity had little effect on the turbidity removal rate. The formation of algal biofilm on the surface of media is helpful in turbidity removal, while non-woven fabric is not as effective as expected. The relative contribution of biomass and accumulated particulates to head loss development in slow sand filters requires further study.

An experiment using a 5 m-long sand column was performed to evaluate the resisting capability against micro-pollutants of the infiltration gallery, multi-purpose filtration pond and riverbank/bed filtration, of which the filtration distance is becoming increasingly shorter in Korea. Results suggested that the Korean riverbed sand contained significant amount of organics, resulting in a relatively vigorous adsorption of chloride ion on the sand surface. Results also indicated that while phenol was not detected in the column filtrate, both 1,4-dioxane and diazinon were exposed to adsorption by the sand as they moved through the column, decreasing their peak concentrations during the movement. It can be expected that the peak concentrations will diminish significantly in the practical scale due to its longer travel distance.

The fluctuation of inlet flow to a water treatment plant makes a serious problem that it can change the filtration rate abruptly, and ultimately occur the breakthrough of the detained particles inside filter media. Also, since it takes very short time (about 10 minutes) for the surface wave occurred from the fluctuation of inlet flow to reach the filtration process, it is impossible to control the filtration rate stably. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of daily flow-rate fluctuation on the performance of sand filtration process, and to suggest the dual media composition for coping with that effect. Comparative column tests have been carried out for various dual media (sand and anthracite) compositions. From the results of column tests, dual media, especially in the case of sand 45cm/anthracite 30cm, is more effective to cope with the effect of flow-rate fluctuation on the performance of filtration than single media (only sand). In addition, irrespective of dual media composition, managing ability to cope with that fluctuation tends to be weak at the end of allowable filtration duration time,

To purify transforming growth factor type beta(TGF-$\beta$) in canine platelets, Sephadex G-75 gel filtration and semipreparative HPLC were carried out. The column of $2.0 {\times}120cm$ was used for gel filtration and one inch semipreparative column filled with SP-Toyopeal for HPLC. Electrophoresis and bioassay using African green monkey kidney cell were used for identification of TGF-$\beta$ Crude TGF-$\beta$ of 2.75mg was extracted from 5.2g of the platelets by the treatment of acid/ethanol. In gel filtration of crude TGF-$\beta$, 4 peaks were observed at the detection of spectrophotometer at 280nm. Electrophoresis and bioassay identified the 3rd peak TGF-$\beta$. Linear gradient elution from 0 to 3M NaCl in sornipreparative HPLC showed TGF-$\beta$ at 1.5M NaCl. Gel filtration was less expensive and useful method for the purification of TGF-$\beta$.
