To lower the operational cost of microbubble generation by electrolysis, optimization of parameters limiting the process must be carried out for the process to be fully adopted in environmental and industrial settings. In this study, four test electrodes were used namely aluminum, iron, stainless steel, and Dimensionally Sable Anode (DSA). We identified the effects and optimized each operational parameter including NaCl concentration, current density, pH, and electrode distance to reduce the operational cost of microbubble generation. The experimental results showed that was directly related to the rate and cost of microbubble generation. Adding NaCl and narrowing the distance between electrodes caused no substantial changes to the generation rate but greatly decreased the power requirement of the process, thus reducing operational cost. Moreover, comparison among the four electrodes operating under optimum conditions revealed that aluminum was the most efficient electrode in terms of generation rate and operational cost. This study therefore presents significant data on performing costefficient microbubble generation, which can be used in various environmental and industrial applications.

An experimental study was performed on the collision nozzle system that generates microbubble by air self-suction using a venturi nozzle. This study experimentally investigates the pressure of a pump and a dissolution tank, water flow rate, air self-suction amount and microbubble generation amount. The experimental conditions were varied by changing the diameter of the collision nozzle (d_e=4,5,6,7,8mm), the pumping power(0.5hp, 1.0hp) and the capacity of the dissolution tank(4.4L, 8/8L). The pressure change of the pump according to the outlet diameter of the collision nozzle showed that the 1.0hp pump power operated more stably than the 0.5hp pump. The pressure change in the dissolution tank was shown to decrease rapidly as the outlet diameter of the nozzle increased. The flow rate of recirculating water was shown to increase as the nozzle diameter increased. Additionally, it was shown that the pump capacity of 1.0hp increased the flow rate more than that of 0.5hp. The self-suction air flow rate was shown to occur above d_e=6mm, and the air flow rate increased as the nozzle diameter increased. Also, as the pump capacity increased, the self-suction amount of air increased. It was shown that the amount of microbubble less than 50mm generated was maximum when the nozzle diameter was 6mm, the pump power was 1.0hp, and the dissolution tank capacity was 8.8L.

본 연구는 lab-scale로 제작된 가압식 마이크로버블 발생장치의 버블크기 분포를 분석하여 장치의 최적 운전조건을 검토하고 벤튜리 노즐 제원에 따른 마이크로버블 발생 특성을 확인하였다. 실험결과, 실험실 규모의 가압식 마이크로버블 발생장치의 운전조건은 공기 주입율 0.3 LPM, 가압탱크압력 3 bar, 벤튜리 노즐을 수조와 직접 연결 하였을 때, 상대적으로 우수한 성능을 나타내었다. 벤튜리 노즐 제원을 달리한 마이크로버블 발생 특성에서는 노즐의 제원에 따른 버블크기 분포에 미치는 영향은 낮지만, 버블 발생의 성능적 측면에서는 노즐의 목 직경이 3-4 mm 일 때, $D_{50}$이 $54.98-61.19{\mu}m$(D3L15, D4L15), $50{\mu}m$이하의 버블 분율은 각각 0.326, 0.345(D3L15, D4L15)로 상대적으로 우수함을 확인하였으며, 노즐 목 길이의 경우 목 길이가 20 mm인 노즐의 $D_{50}$이 $49.40-54.98{\mu}m$, $50{\mu}m$이하의 버블 분율은 0.447로서, 마이크로버블을 비교적 안정적으로 발생시키는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Dissolved air flotation (DAF), in which suspended solids are removed from water by means of micro-size air bubbles raising slowly up in water and lifting solids from water (smaller than those) attached onto the micro-bubbles as well as those (larger than solids) being attached on these, have been used in water and wastewater since 1920s. The dissolved air flotation technology was originally based on the laminar flow conditions prevailing in water to be treated, but the latest development in that technology has led now to a situation, in which the flow conditions may also be turbulent ones in the modem dissolved air flotation units. Despite of that, the flotation phenomenon used in this unit operation for removal suspended solids from water or wastewater is still the same.

혐기성소화조에서 발생하는 바이오가스는 열과 전력을 생산하는데 사용되기 전에 불순물, 특히 황화물 제거 공정이 수반 되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 시설용량 46,000㎡/d의 하수처리장을 대상으로 습식스크러빙 장치를 활용하여 운전 조건의 변화에 따른 메탄감소율과 황화수소 및 이산화탄소의 제거율을 평가하였다. 부분순환에서 장치 유입전 평균 59.7%의 CH₄은 처리후 57.4%로 감소하여 3.9%의 감소율을 나타내어 마이크로버블 산화에도 불구하고 천천히 기화되는 것을 알 수 있었다. CO₂의 경우 38%가 장치로 유입되어 32%로 배출됨에 따라 15.8%의 제거율을 나타냈다. 1,400ppm의 H₂S는 DIWS장치로 유입되어 334ppm으로 배출되어 76.1%의 감소율을 나타냈다.
