Effects of pH level and slurry particle size on material removal rate and planarization of langasite single crystal wafer have been examined. Higher material removal rate was obtained with lower pH level slurries while the planarization was found to be determined by average particle size of colloidal silica slurries. Slurries containing 0.045 ㎛ amorphous silica particles showed the best polishing effect without any scratches on the surface. Effective particle number has a strong effect on the surface planarization and the removal rate, so that the lower effective particle numbers produced low removal rate but the better planarization results.

In case ESO(evolutionary structural optimization) which is one of topology optimization methods, the element removal ratio is fixed throughout topology optimization by 1 or 2%. As a result it has no flexibility for various types of structures and thus the rate of convergence might not be efficient. Thus various element removal methods were developed in order to improve the efficiency of ESO. In this paper, various element removal methods for ESO are compared with each other for a bracket and a short cantilever. In addition, a new improved bi-directional element removal method is suggested in order to obtain much better optimized topology. From the comparative results of the examples, it is verified that all of the developed various element removal methods are very effective, and the suggested element removal method is the most effective.

The computer simulation model was used to forecast the concentrations of COD$_{cr}$, NH$_{4}$$^{+}$-N and NO$_{3}$$^{-}$-N in each reactors. In the biological wastewater treatment system, the computer simulation model was used to observe the behavior of pollutants especially. In this research, effect of SRT, feeding pattern and recirculation rate on UCT(University of Cape Town) process was evaluated by computer simulation model. T-N removal was affected to the SRT. SRT for effective T-N removal was 15 days or longer. Feeding pattern in UCT process was affected to the T-N removal. Feeding pattern which 100% loading to the first reactor was most effective for T-N removal. The effect of recirculation rate was clear for T-N removal. The recirculation from anoxic reactor to anaerobic reactor was not need but the recirculation from oxic reactor to anoxic reactor was need. In aspect of nitrogen removal efficiency, A/O process was higher than UCT process.

In case of ESO(evolutionary structural optimization) which is one of topology optimization methods, the element removal ratio is fixed throughout topology optimization by 1 or 2 %. As a result it has no flexibility for various types of structures and thus the rate of convergence might not be efficient. Thus various element removal methods are developed in order to improve the efficiency of ESO. In this paper, various element removal methods for ESO are compared with each other. Each element removal method is explained, and applied to a bracket and a Michell type of beam. In addition, a new bi-directional element removal method is suggested in order to obtain much better optimized topology. From the results of stress, displacement and the rate of convergence for the examples under the same mass constraints, it is verified that the suggested element removal method is the most effective. .

Industrial use of microwave heating as an alternative to conventional heating is becoming popular mainly due to dramatic reductions in reaction time. Therefore, this work experimentally determined the effect of microwave irradiation on ammonia nitrogen removal in wastewater. The effects of air flow rate (0.3~0.9 L/min), treatment temperature ($70{\sim}100^{\circ}C$), and initial pH (9~11) were characterized. As the air flow rate increased from 0.3 to 0.9 L/min, the ammonia removal rate constant (k) increased from -0.6642 to $-1.0755min^{-1}$. As the temperature increased from 70 to $100^{\circ}C$, k increased -0.0338 to $-1.0755min^{-1}$. As the pH increased from 9 to 11, k increased -0.2443 to $-1.0755min^{-1}$. Ammonia removal was strongly dependent on temperature and pH rather than air flow rate. The results show that microwave irradiation is effective in ammonia nitrogen removal in wastewater due to advantages of fast and effective processing.

This study was performed to determine the optimum coagulant dosing for effective treatment of raw water in Chinyang lake. Removal rates of algae and characteristics of the water according to coagulants dosage were investigated by treatment with Microcystis aeruginosa, which is a kind of blue-green algae, to the raw water below 5NTU. The coagulants dosage for maximum removal rate of algae were 30 mg/$\ell$ of Alum, 30 mg/$\ell$ of PAC and 10 mg/$\ell$ of PACS, respectively. The removal rate of algae in 30 mg/$\ell$ of PAC was highest as 85% compared with the other treatments. At the point of maximum removal rate of algae, the removal rates of turbidity were 34%, 66% and 22% in Alum, PAC and PACS, respectively. Residual Al was decreased depend upon decreasing turtidity in water by treatment of Alum or PAC, but decreased depend upon increasing turbidity in water by treatment of PACS. The removal rate of ${Mn}_{2+}$ in water was high in the order of Alum, PAC and PACS treatment. And ${Fe}_{2+}$ in water was not changed by treatemnt of these coagulants. Particle numbers distributions according to the particle size of suspended solids that were not precipitated at 8 min. of settling time after treatment of coagulants dosage for the maximum removal rate of algae were investigated. Most of the particle sizes were below 30 $\mu$m and particle numbers distributions below 10 $\mu$m were 64%, 56% and 66% by treatment of Alum, PAC and PACS, respectively. Zeta potential was in the range of -6.1~-9.7 mV at optimum coagulants dosage for algae removal.

The removal of residual captan in carrot and by storage temperatures and the addition of condiments was investigates. The quantities of residual captan after sticking and drying of captan in carrot and kale wer 0.958 and 23.12 ppm, respectively. During storage of 20days at 15,3 and -17$^{\circ}C$, the levels of the residual captan in carrot decreased to 0.008 (removal rate: 99.2%) and 15.06 ppm (42.3%), respectively. The higher removal rate of residual captan was oberved at the higher storage temperatures, When the condiments of soy sauce, green onion, garlic and vinegar added to the carrot which contaminated with the captan and then stored at 15$^{\circ}C$ for 24hrs, the residual levels of captan decreased to 0.207 (removal rate: 78.4%), 0.196 (79.5$^{\circ}C$), 0.164 (82.8$^{\circ}C$) and 0.209 ppm (78.2%), respectively, showing the garlic was the most effective. However, the residual levels in tale were 2.27 (91.3%), 12.70 (51.4%), 16.42 (37.1%) and 13.70 ppm (47.5%), respectively under the same condition, indication the soy sauce was the most effective. The removal rates of residual captan in carrot and kale were significantly higher with the addition of the condiments than those of the controls that without the condiments.

Air-drived rotating biological contactor (RBC) system, which is effective method in filtering performance, was tested for the nitrification capacity in a recirculating system. At ammonia concentrations between 0.029 and 0.528 mg/l, the effect of ammonia loading rate on ammonia removal rate at three different hydraulic loading rates could be defined by the following first­order regression models: Hydraulic loading rate of $14.8 m^3/m^3/day:\;y=39.2\times+3.4 (r^2=0.9137)$, Hydraulic loading rate of $26.5 m^3/m^3/day: y=53.3\times+4.0 (r^2=0.8686)$, Hydraulic loading rate of $37.3 m^3/m^3/day: y=58.4\times+4.2 (r^2=0.7755)$, where, $\times$ is ammonia loading rate (mg/l), y is ammonia removal rate $(g/m^3/day)$, The equations showed the optimal ammonia removal rate at the hydraulic loading rate of $26.5m^3/m^3/day$. Below the ammonia concentration of 2.72 mg/l, first-order regression models between ammonia loading rate and ammonia removal rate at three different rates of speed are defined as follows: Rotational speed of $0.75 rpm: y=28.5\times+4.7 (r^2=0.9143)$, Rotational speed of $1.0 rpm: y=33.6\times+8.4 (r^2=0.9534)$, Rotational speed of $2.0 rpm: y=28.9\times+3.6 (r^2=0.9488)$, where, x is ammonia loading rate (mg/l), y is ammonia removal rate $(g/m^3day)$. The equations show the ammonia removal rate at the rotational speed of 1.0 rpm is significantly higher than that at the rotational speed of either 0.75 rpm or 2.0 rpm (P<0.05).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the structure and mechanical properties of laser-processed pads on their polishing behavior such as their removal rate and WIWNU (within wafer non-uniformity) during the chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) process. The holes on the pad acted as the reservoir of slurry particles and enhanced the removal rate. Without grooves, no effective removal of wafers was possible. When the length of the circular-type grooves was increased, higher removal rates and lower wafer non-uniformity were measured. The removal rate and non-uniformity linearly increased as the elastic modulus of the top pad increased. Higher removal rates and lower non-uniformity were measured as the hardness of the pad increased.
