In this study, the effects of chlorine dioxide (D) bleaching conditions on the delignification of hemp bast fiber were elucidated. Chlorine dioxide bleaching was carried out through three stages (DED) and five stages (DEDED), respectively. Applied amounts of chlorine dioxide at $D_1$ and $D_2$ stages were varied to find the optimum bleaching condition. It was found that the optical properties of its handsheet as well as the delignification of hemp bast fiber increased as the concentration of chlorine dioxide at $D_1$ stage increased. It was also notable that the bleachability of the DEDED bleaching stages was slightly more effective than that of the DED bleaching stages. The burst index of the handsheets made with bleached hemp bast fiber was higher than that of the unbleached samples, but the burst index of these samples decreased as their delignification increased. These results indicated that the higher concentration of chlorine dioxide at $D_1$ stage was major factor to improve the bleaching efficiency of hemp bast fiber.

Polyamide membrane degradation by chlorine has been studied to improve membrane durability. In this study, it was found that the salt rejection was reduced rapidly and flux of the membrane was increased slowly far membrane treated under chlorine condition. In order to improve resistance to chlorine of the polyamide reverse osmosis membrane, fluorine-containing silane coupling agent (FSCA) was introduced to surface modification. Surface properties and chlorine resistance of silane modified membrane were compared with virgin membrane. It was found that the surface of silane modified membrane has dense structure according to FSCA concentration increasing. The results of surface analysis suggest that FSCA retrieved a severe change in the hydrophobicity and surface roughness. In addition, it appears that FSCA can enhance chlorine resistance due to the interaction of such substance with free radical chlorine.

This study was carried out to bleach the Oakwood kraft pulp without the elemental chlorine using the xylanase or wastewater(We : wastewater enzymes) effluented from the submerged biofilter reactor containing the fungi, Phanerorhaete sordida YK-624. So in this research, the proper treatment conditions (pH, temperature, dosage and time) were investigated respectively. And after the various kinds of multistage bleaching of pulps, the properties of pulps were tested. From the experimental results, we can conclude as follows. In the treatments of Oakwood kraft pulps with xylanase, the proper pH, temperature, enzyme dosage and time were 8.0, $35^{\circ}C$ , 400 EXU/kg and 1 hr. respectively. And in the case of treatment with a wastewater(We) effluented from the submerged biofilter reactor, the proper pH, temperature and time were 5.5, $37^{\circ}C$ and 2 hr. respectively. On the other hand, Oakwood kraft pulps were bleached by the method of a multistage bleaching using xylanase or We instead of elemental chlorine Consequently the strengthes and brightnesses of pulps bleached by the method mentioned above were lower than those of pulp bleached by the conventional method using the elemental chlorine. But it is possible to improve the brightnesses through the increase of chlorine dioxide dosage or use of hydrogen peroxide in the final bleaching stage.

The authors describe an analytical method to determine total chlorine in a sanitizer liquid, incorporating a lab-made He-rf-plasma within a PDMS polymer microchip. Helium was used instead of Ar to produce a plasma to achieve efficient Cl excitation. A quartz tube 1 mm i.d. was embedded in the central channel of the polymer microchip to protect it from damage. Rotational temperature of the He-microchip plasma was in the range 1350-3600 K, as estimated from the spectrum of the OH radical. Chlorine was generated in a volatilization reaction vessel containing potassium permanganate in combination of sulfuric acid and then introduced into the polymer microchip plasma (PMP). Atomic emission lines of Cl at 438.2 nm and 837.7 nm were used for analysis; no emission was observed for Ar plasma. The achieved limit of detection was 0.81 ${\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ (rf powers of 30-70 W), which was sensitive enough to analyze sanitizers that typically contained 100-200 ${\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ of free chlorine in chlorinated water. This study demonstrates the usefulness of the devised PMP system in the food sciences and related industries.

This study was carried out to bleach the Pinewood kraft pulp without the elemental chlorine using the xylanase or wastewater(We:wastewater enzymes) effluented from the submerged biofilter reactor containing the fungi, Phanerochaete sordida YK-624. So in this research, the proper treatment conditions(pH, temperature, dosage and time) were investigated respectively. And after the various kinds of multistage bleaching of pulps, the properties of pulps were tested. From the experimental results, we can conclude as follows. In the treatments of Pinewood kraft pulps with xylanase, the proper pH, temperature, enzyme dosage and time were 8.0, $35^{\circ}C, 400EXU/kg and 3 hr. respectively. And in the case of treatment with a wastewater(We) effluented from the submerged biofilter reactor, the proper pH, temperature and time were 5.0, $37^{\circ}C and 3 hr. respectively. On the other hand, Pinewood kraft pulps were bleached by the method of a multistage bleaching using xylanase or We instead of elemental chlorine. Consequently, the strengthes and brightnesses of pulps bleached by the method mentioned above were lower than those of pulp bleached by the conventional method using the elemental chlorine. But it is possible to improve the brightnesses through the increase of chlorine dioxide dosage or use of hydrogen peroxide in the final bleaching stage.

Discharge under the water is very hard and demand considerable high voltage. But specially improved electrode can generate plasma discharge to salty water with relatively low voltage. A round shape ceramic electrode having many pinholes combined with metallic one can generate plasma. 400 volt, 10 kHz and 3 micro second pulse width were applied to repeatedly running synthetic seawater with 10 L/m velocity, containing cultivated E. coli and Bacillus. As a result, 18, 94, 99.97, 100, 100 % disinfection rates to E. coli and 17.1, 17.1, 82.9, 99.4, 99.9 % disinfection rates to Bacillus subtilis were achieved to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 times repetitive treatment respectively. In the plasma condition, the ions and electrons are separated and new kinds of components are re-synthesized by the intensive movement of the components. Especially chlorine ions are separated and recombined to residual free chlorine like HOCl, $OCl^-$. The residual free chlorine concentrations of discharged water were 0.25, 0.88, 1.39, 1.59, 1.66 mg $Cl_2$/L after 5 times treatment respectively. Another unconfirmed radical and oxidants for example, OH, $H_2O_2$, and $O_3$ can have an effect on microorganism of course.

In this study, a clinker was prepared using raw materials with CaCl₂. The characteristics of the chlorine-added clinker and cement were analyzed. The clinker modulus were set to Lime Saturation Factor (LSF) 92, Silica modulus (SM) 2.5, and Iron Modulus (IM) 1.5. The physical properties of cement using the chlorine-containing clinker were characterized. As the chlorine content increased, the free-CaO content in the clinker decreased, and that in the 2000 ppm clinker was reduced by approximately 40% compared to that in the 0 ppm clinker. There was an increase in the amount of chlormayenite, with a content of up to 3.4% present in the 2000 ppm clinker. The amounts of alite and belite also slightly increased. The compressive strength of mortar at 3 days and 7 days increased as the chlorine content increased. This trend was presumed to arise from the effect of hydration, which was promoted by the presence of chlorine. The compressive strength of 1000 ppm mortar increased by approximately 20% compared to that of 0 ppm mortar.

This study was performed to investigate THMs formation by chloramination as a secondary disinfection in drinking water distribution system. As the $Cl_2/NH_3-N$ ratio increased from 1:1 to 4:1, the THMs concentration had actually no change in the breakpoint curve of pH 6, 7. At pH 8, THMs level was not augmented at between 1:1 and 5:1. In the $Cl_2/NH_3-N$ ratio of more than 5:1 and 6:1 respectively, THMs level was raised. Only the chloroform of THMs was insignificantly detected by both preformed chloramine and preammoniation applications, which was probably attributed to the stoichiometrically unstable equilibrium in the preparation of chloramine, whereas $CHCl_3$, $CHCl_2Br$ and $CHClBr_2$ of THMs were found in the application of free chlorine. However it turned out that the THMs levels by chloramine was incomparably inferior to that of free chlorine.

This study was carried out to investigate influencing factors of bisphenol A(BPA) removal characteristic in conventional water treatment systems to be connected with coagulation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection. The result are summarized as follows; In BPA removal, optimal doses of PAC, alum, ferric chloride were 7.5 mg Al/L, 10.0 mg AI/L, 15.0 mg Fek. PAC was most effective coagulant to remove BPA. In coagulation process, BPA removal efficiency were increased about 2％ by adjusting pH of raw water as 6. At temperature rise 1$0^{\circ}C$, BPA removal efficiency were increased 0.94％. but BPA removal efficiency in sand filtration process were under 1 ％ie, so that BPA was almost not removed. At free chlorine dose 1, 2 mg/L, the reaction rate constant k in the BPA removal have been calculated to be 0.397, 0.953 min$^{-1}$ . At free chlorine dose 1, 2 mg/1-, degradation reaction of BPA was completed during 10 min and BFA removal efficiencies were 97.66, 99.99％ at this time.
