Basic studies for the treatment of particulate organic substances contained in wastewater by flotation have been conducted. Four kinds of plastics were chosen as the possibly existing organic particles in wastewater and the Zisman plots for these substances were constructed by measuring the contact angle of liquids on their surfaces. The critical surface tensions for these organic substances were estimated based on the constructed Zisman plot and the floatability of organic substances were regarded to be related with their molecular structure. The existence of dissolved organic substances such as a surfactant was observed to affect the extent of flotation of particulate organics. In addition, the consideration of work of adhesion was thought to be better than adopting the critical surface tension as the analytical basis in the operational design of flotation process of organic particles.

Natural graphite is obtained from an abandoned open-cast mine and purified by a simple, eco-friendly and affordable beneficiation process including ball milling and flotation process. Both raw graphite (55 wt %) and its concentrate (85 wt %) were electrochemically tested in order to evaluate these materials as anode materials for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries. It was found that both raw and purified graphites exhibit good electrochemical activities with respect to lithium and sodium ions through completely different reaction mechanisms. The encouraging results demonstrated in this work suggest that both raw and graphite concentrates after flotation could be used respectively for stationary and embedded applications. This strategy would help in developing local electrical storage systems with a significantly low environmental footprint.

Water reuse of effluent is limited, due to bacteria and chromaticity or turbidity which may result in low perception of water quality. Consequently, this study showed a method in the reuse of treated wastewater by a diversified treatment method, with separation of centralized reformation of aeration tank into pre-treatment with minimum installation of facilities, and post-treatment, applying advanced oxidation treatment. A pilot plant experiment was performed using Sym-Bio process adopting an NADH Sensor without modification of the exiting aeration tank. The Dissolved Ozone Flotation process, which is an advanced oxidation process, to treat the remaining organics, nutrients, chromaticity, turbidity and bacteria. As a result in the Sym-Bio process, the biological treatment, even on the condition of single stage reaction tank, the treatment efficiencies of BOD, $COD_{Mn}$, $COD_{Cr}$, SS and T-N were 96.6%, 84.6%, 88.25%, 95.1% and 71.0%, respectively, while that for T-P was 25.0%, which required further treatment. In the Dissolved Ozone Flotation process, the advanced oxidation treatment, the treatment efficiencies of BOD, $COD_{Mn}$, $COD_{Cr}$, SS, T-N, T-P, chromaticity, turbidity, bacteria, coliforms were 78.9%, 34.6%, 28.7%, 48.0%, 70.4%, 82.4%, 84.0%, 74.5%, 99.8% and 99.4%, respectively.

Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is an effective solid/liquid separation process for low density particles, such as algal flocs, humus materials and clay particles produced from low turbidity water. The fraction of humic substances for natural organic matters (NOMs) are considered problematic in water because it can readily react with chlorine to form harmful by-products (trihalomethanes) and can be exposed to undesirable color, tastes and odors in drinking water. A broad class of NOMs includes fulvic acid, humic acid and humin. This paper will discuss the results from a study that performed with a DAF pump process using synthetic wastewater contained humic substance. Batch jar tests were performed to evaluate coagulant dose and recycle ratio on flotation efficiency.

KOCC pulp was fractionated by air froth flotation and the resultant accept was further treated with kneading. The study on the effect of this combination process revealed that the flotation and the successive kneading were found to be effective in improving strength and drainage properties as well optical cleanliness of testliner based on 100% KOCC.

인도네시아 잠비산 복합 동광석을 대상으로 고품위 동 정광생산을 위한 부유선별 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 시료는 대부분 탄산염인 공작석으로 이루어져 있으나, 일부 황화동이 존재하여 자연부유도가 높은 황화동을 먼저 부유선별에 의해 회수한 다음, 침강산물로부터 산화동 회수를 위한 공정을 적용하였다. 먼저 황화동 부유선별에서는 잔세이트(xanthate) 계열의 포수제인 AP-211과 AP-242를 1 : 1의 비율로 300 g/t 첨가하고, 광액 pH 6인 조건에서 Cu 품위와 회수율이 각각 57.7%와 9.5%인 동 정광을 얻었다. 그리고 침전된 산물을 대상으로 지방산 포수제인 올레인산을 300 g/t, 기포제 첨가량 50 g/t, 광액 pH 8.0, 그리고 정선횟수 2회인 조건에서 Cu의 품위와 회수율이 각각 30.8%와 92.1%인 결과를 얻었다. 회수된 황화동 및 산화동 정광을 합산한 결과 최종적으로 Cu의 품위와 회수율이 36.1%와 92.7%인 결과를 얻었다.

The series of experiments under the various conditions were carried out to evaluate the feasibility of dissolved air flotation (DAF) as an alternative of conventional gravity sedimentation (CGS) and to investigate the decrease of the loadings following to biological wastewater treatment processes in livestock wastewater system. On the basis of the experiment result between CGS and DAF processes, for the other water quality criteria as well as suspended solid the removal efficiency of DAF process was about 20~25 % better than CGS process on average. In addition, the particle removal efficiency of DAF process became higher in proportion as the increase of air to solid (A/S) ratio and the general wastewater treatment efficiency of DAF process was enough to meet the requirement of loading decrease to following biological process even at low A/S ratio range. Though DAF process is widely known as an solid separation unit, there was not the notable relationship between particle separation efficiency and several pollutant removal efficiencies like $COD_{Cr}$ and nutrients (T-N, T-P). Assume that the $COD_{Cr}$ was removed as the fraction of particle separation in this experiment, the removal efficiency of T-N and T-P were sensitive to removal efficiency of $COD_{Cr}$, especially.

Operation characteristics of the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) process with electro-flotation (EF) as a solid liquid separation method (EF-SBR) were investigated. EF-SBR process showed excellent solid-liquid separation performance which enabled to separate biosolids from liquid phase within 30 min and to extend cyclic reaction time. Although influent organic loading rate was increased stepwise from 5 to 15 g COD/day, food to microorganisms (F/M) ratio could be maintained about 0.3 g COD/g VSS/day in EF-SBR because biomass concentration could be easily controlled at desired level by EF. However, it was impossible to increase biomass concentration at the same level in control SBR (C-SBR) process because solid-liquid separation by gravity settling showed a limitation at higher mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) concentration with 60 min of settling time. Total chemical oxygen demand (TCOD) removal efficiency of EF-SBR process was not decreased although influent organic loading rate became 3 times higher than initial value. However, it was seriously deteriorated in C-SBR process after increasing the rate over 10 g COD/day, which was accounted for insufficient organic removal by relatively higher food to microorganisms (F/M) ratio as well as biosolids wash-out by a limitation of gravity sedimentation.

청양지역 폐광산의 오염원인인 중금속의 제거를 침출과 이온교환법을 활용한 융합공정을 통해 실험하였으며 중금속에 오염된 토양시료는 통계처리를 하여 분석하였다. 오염토양은 일차로 부선처리법으로 분리하였으며, 사용시약이 증가할수록 선별지수는 증가하였다. 중금속을 제거하기 위한 침출과 이온분리법에 의해 선별도는 더 향상이 되었다. 침출속도는 황산용액이 증가할수록 증가되었으며, 침출용액은 이온교환법에 의해 상당부분 제거가 되었다. 침출과 이온교환법이 결합된 연속융합공정을 개발하여 중금속 제거 실험을 하였으며, 향후 개선을 통해 중금속의 제거효과가 향상될 것이며, 이를 통해 폐광산의 오염토양에 적용 가능함을 알 수 있었다.
