Bioremediation is one of the most effective ways to remediate TPH-contaminated sites. However, under actual field conditions that are not at the optimum temperature, degradation of microorganisms is generally reduced, which is why the efficiency of biodegradation is known to be significantly affected by the soil temperature. Therefore, in this study, the labscale experiment was conducted using indigenous crude oil degrading microorganisms isolated from crude oil contaminated site to evaluate the remediation efficiency. Crude oil degrading microorganisms were isolated from crude oil contaminated soil and temperature, which is a significant factor affecting the remediation efficiency of land farming, was adjusted to evaluate the microbial crude oil degrading ability, degradation time, and remediation efficiency. In order to assess the field applicability, the remediation efficiency was evaluated using crude oil contaminated soil (average TPH concentration of 10,000 mg/kg or more) from the OO premises. Followed by the application of microorganisms at 30℃, the bioremediation process reduced its initial TPH concentration of 10,812 mg/kg down to 1,890 mg/kg in 56 days, which was about an 83% remediation efficiency. By analyzing the correlation among the total number of cells, the number of effective cells, and TPH concentration, it was found that the number of effective microorganisms drastically increased during the period from 10 to 20 days while there was a sharp decrease in TPH concentration. Therefore, we confirmed the applicability of land farming with isolated microorganisms consortium to crude oil contaminated site, which is also expected to be applicable to bioremediation of other recalcitrant materials.

Fluid pumps in chemical processes are typically driven by electric motors. Even if the motor is separated from the pump with seals, wear resulting from friction and misalignment can lead to leakage of chemical fluid, causing corrosion in the bearing supporting the motor, and, eventually, failure of the motor. It is thus a standard procedure to replace bearings at regular intervals. In this article, we propose 3D-printed plastic ball bearings for use as an alternative to commercial stainless-steel ball bearings. The plastic bearings are easy to manufacture, require less time to replace, and are chemically resistant. To validate the applicability of the plastic bearings, we first conducted chemical resistance tests. Bearings were immersed in 30 caustic acid and 30 nitric acid for 30 min and 24 h, respectively. The test results showed no corrosive damage to the bearings. A test rig was set up to compare the performance of the plastic bearings with that of the commercially equivalent deep-groove ball bearings. Loading test results showed that the plastic bearings performed as well as the commercial bearing in terms of vibration level and load-handling capability. Finally, a plastic bearing was subjected to a clean-in-place process for three months. It actually outperformed the commercial bearing in terms of chemical resistance. Thus, 3D-printed plastic bearings are a viable alternative to stainless-steel ball bearings.

본 연구에서는 Plastic Board Drain(PBD)이 타설된 지반의 압밀거동 특성을 파악하고, 배수재 통수능력을 알아보기 위하여 현장의 타설조건을 실험실에서 모사할 수 있는 관입식 복합 통수능 시험기를 개발하였다. 개발된 시험기는 배수재를 타설하고 교란된 시료를 투기하는 기존 방법과 달리, 예비압밀로 시료를 조성한 후 mandrel과 관입장치를 이용하여 PBD를 지반에 타설하도록 고안하였다. 개발된 관입식 복합 통수능 시험기의 적용성을 평가하기 위하여 기존 복합 통수능 시험을 함께 실시하여 결과를 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 기존 방법은 시료 전체의 교란에 의해 압밀이 지연되는 현상으로 나타났으며, 시료의 불균질성 등에 의해 배수재 변형도 국부적으로 발생하였다. 이로 인하여 기존 시험법에 의한 통수능력은 예상치 보다 다소 크게 산정되는 경향을 보였으며, 관입식 방법에 의해 현장조건과 유사하게 통수능력을 분석할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

Though hilly topography influences both wind speeds and directions aloft, only the influence on wind speeds, i.e. the speed-up effect, has been thoroughly investigated. Due to the importance of a model showing the spatial variations of wind directions above hilly terrains, it is worthwhile to systematically assess the applicability and limitations of the model describing the influence of hilly topographies on wind directions. Based on wind-tunnel test results, a model, which describes the horizontal and vertical variations of the wind directions separately, has been proposed in a companion paper. CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) techniques were employed in the present paper to evaluate the applicability of the proposed model. From the investigation, it has been found that the model is acceptable for describing the vertical variation of wind directions by a shallow hill whose primary-to-secondary axis ratio (aspect ratio) is larger than 1. When the overall hill slope exceeds $20^{\circ}$, the proposed model should be used with caution. When the aspect ratio is less than 1, the proposed model is less accurate in predicting the spatial variation of wind directions in the wake zone in a separated flow. In addition, it has been found that local slope of a hill has significant impact on the applicability of the proposed model. Specifically, the proposed model is only applicable when local slope of a hill varies gradually from 0 (at the hill foot) to the maximum value (at the mid-slope point) and then to 0 (at the hill top).

건설폐기물은 과거 10년 동안 큰 변동 없이 배출량이 지속되고 있는 반면, 순환자원으로의 활용은 매립과 뒤채움재, 도로기층이나 보조기층 등 주로 저급 골재로의 사용으로 국한되어 왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 순환잔골재의 다량 활용을 위한 방안으로 콘크리트 2차 제품의 잔골재 대체재로써의 활용성에 대해 검토하고자 하였다. 접근 방법으로는 현장에서 사용되고 있는 건식과 습식 공정과 신속한 제품생산을 위해 적용하고 있는 증기양생을 적용하였다. 예비실험을 통해 각 배합방식별로 주요 실험변수들을 도출하였으며, 이를 통해 각 변수가 콘크리트 물성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 순환잔골재의 대체효과에 대한 실험에서는 대체 비율이 높을수록 건식과 습식 모두 작업성 및 강도저하가 발생되었으며 그에 따른 저하량을 예측할 수 있는 식을 제안하였다. 본 실험을 통해 다소 콘크리트 물성과 역학적 특성 저하가 나타나지만, 2차 콘크리트 제품의 구성재료로서 순환잔골재의 다량 활용이 가능하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The laboratory model test was conducted by dividing domestic reclaimed tideland into Sandy Loam (SL) and Silt Clay Loam (SiCL) to estimate soil moisture change and water supply according to soil characteristic when establishing irrigation plan for reclaimed tideland upland crop. In addition, the applicability of each scenario was verified using Van Genuchten model, which is the most widely used mathematical model for analyzing soil moisture characteristics of reclaimed tideland uplands crops. The required water supply according to the target soil moisture tension by reclaimed tideland is as follow. In the case of SL, soil depths of 0~10 cm, 10~20 cm were analyzed as 19 mm, 35 mm to reach the field capacity, and SiCL, 33 mm, 63 mm. The required water supply of SiCL was higher than that of SL. The study compared the simulation results from the scenarios of Van Genuchen model and the measured results from the laboratory model test based on according to the reclaimed tidelands. In the case of parameter, θ_s, θ_r, α, η were analyzed 0.55, 0.18, 0.064, 1.74 in SL and 0.46, 0.22, 0.105, 1.92 in SiCL. In terms of soil characteristics, SL with better water permeability was found to have higher applicability than SiCL. By Soil depth, applicability was found in 0~10 cm directly affected by water supply.

In the framework of meshfree methods, a new methodology is developed based on radial point interpolation method (RPIM). This methodology is applied to a one-dimensional contaminant transport modelling in the saturated porous media. The one-dimensional form of advection-dispersion equation involving reactive contaminant is considered in the analysis. The Galerkin weak form of the governing equation is formulated using 1D meshfree shape functions constructed using thin plate spline radial basis functions. MATLAB code is developed to obtain the numerical solution. Numerical examples representing various phenomena, which occur during migration of contaminants, are presented to illustrate the applicability of the proposed method and the results are compared with those obtained from the analytical and finite element solutions. The proposed RPIM has generated results with no oscillations and they are insensitive to Peclet constraints. In order to test the practical applicability and performance of the RPIM, three case studies of contaminant transport through the landfill liners are presented. A good agreement is obtained between the results of the RPIM and the field investigation data.
