The effectiveness of four air fresher (AF) systems was evaluated with respect to their removal efficiencies against offensive odorants. For this purpose, malodorous species were generated by exposing freshly cooked foods emitting odorants with levels moderately above their respective threshold values in a confined room. The deodorization efficiency of the four AF systems was then tested for a period of 30 min by estimating the extent of reduction in odorant levels after the operation of each AF. The removal efficiency of the four AF units against each odorant was evaluated as follows: (1) between AF products from different manufacturers, (2) between odorants and ultrafine particulate matter ($PM_{2.5}$), and (3) between operation and natural degassing. The average sorptive removal of odorants was generally <80% and considered less effective or non-effective relative to $PM_{2.5}$. Further examination of odor reduction, if evaluated in terms of odor indices like odor intensity (OI) and odor activity value (OAV), recorded a mean of 33% and 87%, respectively. The overall results of this study confirmed that all tested AF units were not effective to resolve odor problems created under our testing conditions.

Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is an essential dielectric planarization in multilayer microelectronic device fabrication. In the CMP process it is necessary to minimize the extent of surface defect formation while maintaining good planarity and optimal material removal rates. The polishing mechanism of W-CMP process has been reported as the repeated process of passive layer formation by oxidizer and abrasion action by slurry abrasives. Thus, it is important to understand the effect of oxidizer on W passivation layer, in order to obtain higher removal rate (RR) and very low non-uniformity (NU%) during W-CMP process. In this paper, we compared the effects of oxidizer or W-CMP process with three different kind of oxidizers with 5% hydrogen peroxide such as $Fe(NO_3)_3$, $H_2O_2$, and $KIO_3$. The difference in removal rate and roughness of W in stable and unstable slurries are believed to caused by modification in the mechanical behavior of $Al_3O_3$ particles in presence of surfactant stabilizing the slurry.

회전원판공정(rotating biological contactorRBC)과 화학적 처리공정을 결합한 처리시스템을 이용하여 도시하수내 포함된 유기물과 영양염류를 제거할 경우에 수리학적 부하 (hydraulic loading)와 처리수 반송율 (recirculation rate)의 시스템 처리효율에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 각각의 수리학적 부하 0.031, 0.0535 및 0.076 $m^3/m^2/d에서 반송율을 100%, 200%, 300%로 변화시켰고, 질산화에 필요한 알카리도의 보충 및 화학적 처리를 위하여 lime(CaCO$_3$)을 가하여 유입수의 pH를 10.4-11.0으로 유지시켰다. 실험결과 수리학적 부하 0.0535 $m^3/m^2/d에서 BOD, COD의 제거효율이 가장 높게 나타났으며, 질산화 효율 및 질소 제거효율에서는 수리학작 부하 0.035 $m^3/m^2/d, 반송율 300%에서 가장 높았으며, 반송율별에서는 수리학적 부하를 고려할 때 300% 반송하는 것이 가장 높은 유기물 제거효율을 보였다. 반송율과 수리학적 부하를 증가시킬 경우에 발생되는 슬러지내 유기물 함량은 점점 증가하였고, 수리학적 부하 0.076 $m^3/m^2/d, 반송율 300%일 경우에는 유기물 함량이 47%로 매우 높았다. 이는 부하증가에 따른 미생물 성장의 증가와 더불어 수리학적 부하 증가에 따른 전단력의 증가가 영향을 미쳤기 때문이다. 인을 제거하기 위하여 pH를 10.4-11.0으로 유지시킨 경우에 인을 90%이상 제거할 수 있었으며, 유출수내 평균 SS농도는 40 mg/l를 상회하였다.

PCB와 HA 사이의 착화합 정도에 대한 양적인 측정을 위해 투석막을 이용한 평형실험이 여러 가지 변수에 대해 먼저 수행되었다. 활성탄에 대한 PCB의 흡착특성 파악을 위해서 HA가 용해된 물과 용해되지 않은 물을 이용하여 PCB에 대한 흡착평형 및 속도실험을 행하였다. 실험결과 HA에 대한 PCB의 착화합 정도는 PH, $Ca^{2+}$농도, 이온세기 및 HA의 농도에 큰 영향을 받는 것을 확인하였다. PCB의 활성탄에 대한 흡착능력은 HA가물에 존재할 때 크게 감소하였으며 흡착특성은 HA, PCB와 HA에 착화합된 PCB 등의 물질이 서로 경쟁적으로 활성탄에 흡착하게 되는 복잡한 특성을 보일 것으로 판단되었다.

Activated sludge reactors maintaining an MLSS of 3,000 mg/L and packed Bio Contact Media (BCM fixed beds) was studied in lab-scale to determine the optimal packing ratio and an HRT of aerobic reactor in terms of organic removal, nitrification, denitrification efficiencies. At all HRTs of 3 hr, 5 hr, 7 hr respectively, reactors without BCM, control reactors, had the lowest TCODcr removal efficiency about 74.6%, and reactors with the BCM packing ratios of 10%, 15%, 20% had a greater TCODcr removal efficiency above 81.4%. As HRT decreased, the TCODcr removal efficiency decreased also in all reactors. However, a better utilization of TCODcr even at a higher organic loading was observed in reactors with BCM. The nitrification efficiency at all reactors was greater than 94%, and reactor with 20% packing of BCM had the highest nitrification efficiency at 97.9% while the TKN loading increased at $0.085mgTKN/m^3{\ast}day$ as HRT decreased, In terms of denitrification efficiency, the reactor without BCM ranged from 11.6% to 13.7%, and the reactors with BCM ranged from 28.3% to 63.4% which suggests that the more BCM is packed in the reactors, the higher the denitrification efficiency is achieved. Two parallel $A^2/O$ systems maintaining an MLSS of 3,000 mg/L were operated to investigate the effect of BCM packing ratio of 20% on organic removal, nitrification, denitrification efficiencies. Packing with BCM in system of aerobic reactor affected the SCODcr removal efficiency that increased from 73% to 78%. The nitrification efficiency for both systems with or without BCM was greater than 95%. The denitrification efficiency of systems with BCM and without BCM was 85.8% and 81.8%, respectively which appears that the denitrification efficiency was increased slightly by packing BCM. Compared denitrification efficiency in $A^2/O$ system to previous experimental study with activated sludge reactors operates with the same HRT $A^2/O$ system showed only 29% greater denitrification efficiency. It suggests that $A^2/O$ system with BCM can achieve a similar level of denitrification efficiency when the HRT of anoxic reactor is decreased to some extent.

Chemically activated carbons were prepared from maize cobs, using phosphoric acid of variable concentration. The textural parameters of the activated carbons were determined from the nitrogen adsorption isotherms measured at 77 K. The chemistry of the carbon surface was determined by measuring the surface pH, the pHPZC and the concentration of the carbon - oxygen groups of the acid type on the carbon surface. Kinetics of Cr(VI) sorption/reduction was investigated at 303 K. Two processes were investigated in terms of kinetics and equilibrium namely; Cr(VI) removal and chromium sorption were studied at various initial pH (1-7). Removal of Cr(VI) shows a maximum at pH 2.5. At pH<2.5, sorption decreases because of the proton competition with evolved Cr(III) for ion exchange sites. The decrease of sorption at pH>2.5 is due to proton insufficiency and to the decrease of the extent of Cr(VI) reduction. The chemistry of the surface of activated carbon is an important factor in determining its adsorption capacity from aqueous solutions particularly when the sorption process involves ion exchange.

The membrane potential in the subepidermal cells of Lemna gibba G3 fronds was measured in the dark with glass capillary microelectrodes. At pH 7, the membrane potential, approximately-215 mV, could be depolarized to -82∼-88 mV by 0.1 mM dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) or by KCN at 0.3 mM or higher concentrations. When the pH of the medium was altered the potential showed reversible changes, while it revealed no response to the external pH changes when energy transduction across the membrane was being blocked by 0.1 mM DCCD. The results support an assumption that the active component of the membrane potential of Lemna subepidermal cells is generated by electrogenic H+ -pump. By the addition of 0.10∼5.00 mM salicylic acid(SA) to the bathing medium the membrane potential was depolarized to a great extent, and the removal of SA from the medium repolarized the potential showing almost complete recovery, 92.3∼97.6% to the initial levels. Although the potential was greatly depolarized by 5.0% or higher concentrations of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), the recovery rate by DMSO removal was decreased as the pretreatment concentration had increased. Twenty percent DMSO pretreatment limited the recovery at only 47.1%. The presence of SA in the bathing medium could reversibly increase the permeability of the plasmalemma. DMSO at its concentration of 5.0% or higher increased the permeability of the membrane by irrevesibly impairing the membrane component involved in the membrane permeability.

This study utilized citric acid as a floating agent in biological denitrification process and assessed its role under different carbon supplying conditions. Several microcosm tests including citric acid active (CAA), precipitating tablet release active (PTRA) and floating tablet release active (FTRA) were conducted to evaluate nitrate denitrification efficacy. In CAA reactors, nitrate removal was accompanied by the formation of denitrification by-products such as nitrite and nitrous oxide, with the extent of nitrate removal being proportional to citric acid concentration. These results suggest that citric acid induced heterotrophic biological denitrification. PTRA reactor that incorporated CAA and the same electron donor showed a similar denitrification efficiency to CAA reactor. FTRA reactor, which contained the same amount of fumarate as PTRA, enhanced denitrification by 7% as compared to the PTRA reactor. The overall results of this work indicate that surplus citric acid can be efficiently utilized in heterotrophic denitrification.
