Until now, research reports that it is difficult for brokenup floc after coagulation to reaggregate and settling efficiency of reaggregated floc is relatively low have dominated in water treatment process. In contrast, from recent study conducted by the French researcher, because the density of the reaggregated floc was higher than the previous floc, the settling efficiency of reaggregated floc increased. In this study, 15 times wet test were carried out and the removal efficiency of reagrregated floc was considerably increased. Moreover, this result was explained using the turbulent model for the flow occurred around the floc. Consequently, in the case of suitable hydrodynamic condition for the reaggregation, the characteristics of the reaggregated floc was changed into the favorable condition for improvement of settling efficiency. Also, the most important factor for reaggregation of floc was governed by hydrodynamic shear stress.

The floc characteristics of base paper stock for coating by the retention aid system consisting of polyacrylamide (high molecular weight low charge density, HMLC) and PEI without and with anionic inorganic oxide (IO) were investigated under various shear conditions of MDDA (modified dynamic drainage analyzer). The floc size was increased with cationic electrolytes dosage whatever inorganic oxide is applied or not. The effect of inorganic oxide on the floc size showed the different result between PAM and PEI. The smaller floc was obtained by PAM without inorganic oxide, but larger floc was obtained by PAM with inorganic oxide. However, the effect of shear force was not observed. Floc formation index was decreased by the addition of cationic electrolytes with or without inorganic oxide. Floc formation index had better correlation format formation index than floc size. The relationships between wet web permeability and mat air permeability showed the significant linear correlation ($R^2$=0.97~0.98) for HML PAM and PEI. Floc formation index gave more useful information than the retention measurement when the performance of retention aids is evaluated at the laboratory before applying at the paper mill.

Chemical coagulation destabilizes colloidal particles so that particles grow to larger flocs. Solid particles are then removed by solid-liquid separation after typical precipitation. Rapid precipitation enhances the separation by reducing the precipitation time with larger and denser particles. Conventionally, polyelectolyte compounds (polymers) function as a flocculant aid by introducing a interparticle binding, which increases the particle size and density. And more recent ballasted flocculation adds a ballasting agent (microsand) to form denser particles with its high-density(sp gr=2.65). The current research was to evaluate the manner in which ballasted flocs are formed under different injection timings of microsand and to recognize the effects on floc formation. $FeCl_3$ as a coagulant, anionic polymer for a flocculation aid and microsand were used for the floc formation. Floc size (diameter) was widely ranged with the highest mean value when microsand was injected between $FeCl_3$ and polymer. Mean floc density was larger when the floc formed smaller. Settling velocity increased with larger floc size, whilst not significantly affected by the timing of microsand injection. The additional slow mixing on floc formation increased floc size to some extent.

본 연구는 점착성 미립자의 침전률에 대한 플록의 영향에 관한 것이다. 연구 진행시 플록 밀도와 입경변화의 영향도 고려하였다. 플록입자의 침전속도는 정지수면에서 측정되었다. 플록 입경과 밀도는 수정된 Stokes방정식에 유체의 밀도, 입자의 밀도, 점성계수 및 측정된 침전속도와 입경과의 관계식으로부터 얻은 플록 차원을 이용하여 분석되었다. 석영과 알루미나의 플록지름은 초기농도가 증가함에 따라 증가되었으며, 염도농도의 증가에 따른 석영의 플록된 입경은 $0.8{\sim}10$ ${\mu}m$이다. 플록밀도는 입경이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 플록 침전속도와 입경의 관계는 로그표위에 직선식으로 표현된다. 플록 차원($=n_f$)은 초기농도가 증가할 경우 2.65이며, 염도가 증가할 때 2.93이다. 침전속도를 예측하기 위한 비례상수(n)는 제시되었으며, 그 범위는 $1{\sim}1.93$이다.

The characteristics of floc formation of the iron(Fe) ions was studied for developing the process treating the acid mine drainage. The metal ions in aqueous solution oxidized with oxygen in air, which generated hydrogen ion and lowered the pH of the aqueous solution. The iron(Fe) ions were formed into flocs by the acid-base reaction with the added $Ca(OH)_2$ for the neutralizing the solution. There were several variables affecting the formation, size and color of floc; whether air was present or not, air feeding rate, oxidizing time, concentration of $Ca(OH)_2$, the acid-base reaction time of the $iron(Fe)-Ca(OH)_2$. For proper formation of the $iron(Fe)-Ca(OH)_2$ flocs and developing the floc treating system, the control variables mentioned above should be considered.

Structures and strengths of paper have been studied by analyzing fibers characteristics depending on refining methods. Mixing ratio of softwood and hardwood fibers and fibers characteristics have been analyzed for paper quality improvement. In this study flocculation and drainage of fibers were analyzed to improve the production efficiency and paper product's quality. Floc size and drainage rate depending on stock consistency and fines content were analyzed. Total amount of drainage during drainage process was measured quantitatively by using DI(drainage index). Floc size, viscosity of floc and dewatering times were also measured. In the case of refining load $2.8 kg_f$ , drainage was occurred by filtration mechanism rather than thickening mechanism because drainage resistance increased by fibrillation of fibers. Therefore, the drainage rate of $2.8 kg_f$ refining load stock was slower than that of $5.6 kg_f$.

In this study, the effects of starvation on floc characteristics when treating saline wastewater using a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) were investigated. The effectiveness over 5 days of starvation for aerobic and non-aerobic strategies for maintaining the physical characteristics of floc-forming sludge and the recovery period needed to regain the initial pollutant removal efficiency were investigated. Experiment results revealed that the sludge volume index (SVI) increased and the floc size and fractal dimension decreased after starvation under both aerobic and non-aerobic conditions. Sludge settleability deteriorated faster under aerobic conditions compared to non-aerobic conditions. Under non-aerobic conditions, the SBR required less time to return to its initial pollutant removal efficiency and settleability. Floc size, fractal dimension, and SVI were observed to be fairly correlated with each other. The results demonstrated that it was better to maintain the sludge under non-aerobic rather than aerobic starvation, because it adapted to, resisted starvation and had a quicker re-start afterward.

본 논문은 점착성 변화에 따른 부유 미립자의 플럭밀도에 대한 물리적 특성을 조사하였다. 플럭밀도에 관한 분석은 바닥전단응력 변화와 이온첨가 조건하에 자유수면이 존재하는 소형 환형수조에서 수행되었다. 미립자 실리카는 퇴적물에 영향을 미치는 점토의 주요 광물 성분이기 때문에 이를 실험재료로써 사용하였다. 연구결과로서 플럭밀도는 바닥전단응력, 염분과 pH값의 증가에 의존함을 나타낸다. 플럭밀도는 정지수면상태에서 염분과 플럭입자가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 반면에 바닥전단응력이 증가하면 정반대로 나타난다. 플럭밀도는 바닥전단응력의 범위가 $0.0086{\sim}0.0132N/m^2$이면 pH4.2에서 보다 pH6.8에서 증가하였다.

본 논문에서는 방사성 동위원소를 사용하여 침전지내에서의 흐름 및 플럭의 이동특성에 관한 연구를 실시하였다. 흐름 이동특성 실험을 위하여는 Tc-99m 동위원소를, 플럭이동 특성실험을 위하여는 벤토나이트에 Tc-99m 동위원소를 흡착시킨 재료가 사용되었다. 흐름 이동특성 실험결과 침전지내 위치에 따라 유속이 상이하고 깊이에 따라서도 유속이 상이한 흐름임이 밝혀졌다. 또한, 침전지 유입 유량이 변화할 때 플럭의 이동거리가 상이하며, 유량이 증가할수록 침전위치가 유입구로부터 멀어지며 침전제거효율이 감소한다. 침전지 내 깊이에 따라 플럭의 이동속도나 밀도변화가 다르게 나타난다.

This study is to investigate the floc structure and removal of turbidity and organic matter by PACI coagulation. The turbidity removal by PACI coagulation was obtained at larger pH range than alum coagulation. And the removal of organic matter was obtained at smaller pH range than that of turbidity. The organic matter was removed by the adsorption of $Al(OH)_3$ precipitates. Floc structure was characterized by measuring fractal dimension and volume diameter using AIA and SALLS. Fractal dimension measured by AIA did not show the different characteristics of floc produced in sweep floe and charge neutralization region. Using SALLS, floes in sweep floc region were found to be larger size and fractal dimension than flocs in charge neutralization region. As pollutant removal increased. larger fractal dimension and size of floc were measured. SALLS method was found to be more useful method to characterize flocs in coagulation than AIA method.
