Microcystis aeruginosa causes harmful algal blooms in the Nakdong River of Korea. We studied the effect of different concentrations and ratios of ammonium ($NH_4{^+}$), nitrate ($NO_3{^-}$), and phosphate ($PO{_4}^{3-}$) on growth of this species in BG-11 medium: each nutrient alone, $NO_3{^-}:NH_4{^+}$ ratio, the N : P ratio with fixed total N (TN), and the N : P ratio with fixed total P (TP). The single nutrient experiments indicated that M. aeruginosa had the highest growth rate at $NH_4{^+}$ and $NO_3{^-}$ concentrations of $500{\mu}M$, and at a $PO{_4}^{3-}$ concentration of $5{\mu}M$. The $NO_3{^-}:NH_4{^+}$ ratio experiments showed that M. aeruginosa had the highest growth rate at a ratio of 1 : 1 when TN was $100{\mu}M$ and $250{\mu}M$, and the lowest growth rate at a ratio of 1 : 1 when the TN was $500{\mu}M$. The N : P ratio with fixed TN experiments indicated that M. aeruginosa had the highest growth rates at 50 : 1, 20 : 1, and 100 : 1 ratios when the TN was 100, 250, and $500{\mu}M$, respectively. In contrast, the N : P ratio with fixed TP experiments showed that M. aeruginosa had the highest growth rates at 200 : 1 ratio at all tested TP concentrations. In conclusion, our results imply that the $NO_3{^-}:NH_4{^+}$ ratio and the $PO{_4}^{3-}$ concentration affect the early stage of growth of M. aeruginosa. In particular, our results suggest that the maximum growth of M. aeruginosa is not simply affected by the $NO_3{^-}:NH_4{^+}$ ratio and the N : P ratio, but is determined by the TN concentration if a certain minimum $PO{_4}^{3-}$ concentration is present.

This research work aims at treating saline wastewater generated from a fish market using four Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBR) operated under different conditions. The effect of C/N ratio (3, 6) and salt concentration (0.5~2%) on organic and nitrogen removal was studied. The synthetic wastewater prepared with glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$) as the primary carbon source along with ammonium chloride ($NH_4Cl$) was used in the three reactors. The fill, anoxic, aeration, settle and draw conditions were 2 hr, 4 hr, 4 hr and 2 hr respectively. The fourth reactor was operated at different conditions to investigate the practical feasibility of SBR application to handle fish market wastewater generated in Ulsan city that had fluctuating loading characteristics. Though the unacclimated sludge was initially affected by the salt concentration, the acclimated sludge removed 95% of the organics irrespective of the NaCl concentration and C/N ratio. However, the removal of nitrogen was affected more by C/N ratio than the salt concentration. While handling fish market wastewater, though the organic and nitrogen loading rate were varying between $0.009{\sim}0.259gCOD_{OH}/gVSS/day$ and 0.005~0.034 gN/gVSS/day, the effluent concentrations were far less than the effluent standard of $120mgCOD_{OH}/L$ and 60 mgN/L respectively, except when loading rates were fluctuating and 4 times higher than the average.

고농도의 암모니아 함유 공장 폐수를 대상으로 마이크로버블이 발생되는 장치를 이용하여 암모니아 탈기에 의한 처리 가능성을 평가하였다. 기존 처리장은 pH를 12.5로 유지하면서 반응 조내의 온도를 $30^{\circ}C$에서 $70^{\circ}C$로 상승시켜 72시간 동안 고온 탈기 시켰을 경우 T-N의 제거효율은 70.3%에서 90.5%로 증가하였다. 온도를 $30^{\circ}C$로 유지하면서 유입수의 T-N 농도가 9,120~12,955 mg/L인 폐수를 20시간 동안 마이크로버블에 의한 지속적인 접촉으로 상온 탈기 시킨 결과 T-N 제거율을 90.5~91.9%로 확보하였으며, 운전기간 동안의 pH는 12.3에서 10.1로 소폭 감소하였다.

This study was carried out to investigate change in influent concentration of domestic wastewater flowed from a newly constructed separate sewer system (SSS) and biological nutrients removal efficiency of a full scale Air-vent sequential batch reactor (SBR, $600m^3/d$). The average concentration of $BOD_5$, SS, T-N and T-P from SSS were 246.5 mg/L, 231.6 mg/L, 42.974 mg/L, 5.360 mg/L, respectively which corresponds to 2.2times, 1.2times, 1.8times and 2.1times higher than those from the conventional combined sewer system (CSS). The removal efficiency of $BOD_5$, SS, T-N, and T-P for the Air-vent SBR operated with influent from SSS averaged 99.1%, 99.0%, 91.2%, and 93.5%, respectively. Especially the respective nitrogen and phosphorus removal was 15% greater than that of the SBR operated with influent from CSS. Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) was observed in an aerobic reactor(II) as a result of DO concentration gradient developed along the depth by the Air-vent system. In order to achieve T-N removal greater than 90%, the C/N ratio should be over 6.0 and the difference between $BOD_5$ loading and nitrogen loading rate be over 100 kg/day (0.130 kg $T-N/m^3{\cdot}d$). Even with high influent T-P concentration of 5.360 mg/L from SSS (compared with 2.465 mg/L from CSS) T-P removal achieved 93.5% which was 15.5% higher than that of the SBR with influent from CSS. This is probably due to high influent $BOD_5$ concentration from SSS that could provide soluble carbon source to release phosphorus at anaerobic condition. In order to achieve T-P removal greater than 90%, the difference between $BOD_5$ loading and phosphorus loading rate should be over 100 kg /day (0.130 kg $T-N/m^3{\cdot}d$).

본 연구는 다공성 소결체로 충진된 여상에 수생식물을 식재하여 오 폐수를 처리하는 기술로서, 수질오염물질의 고효율 처리를 위한 적정조건을 찾는데 연구목적을 두었다. 실험조건으로 수질오염물질(COD, T-N, T-P), 수생식물의 종류, 여재의 종류와 규격, 그리고 체류시간을 변화시켰다. 수질오염물질 중 COD는 $50{\sim}450mg/{\ell}$ 부하량 범위에서 73.8~87.1%의 처리효율을 보였으며, T-N은 7~124mg/L 범위에서 61.3~77.3%의 처리효율을, 그리고 T-P는 3~27mg/L 범위에서 89.5~99.1%의 처리효율을 얻을 수 있었다. 3종류 수생식물의 수질오염물질처리 비교실험에서는 COD와 T-N 처리는 창포, 갈대, 미나리 순으로 나타났으며, T-P 처리는 갈대가 창포보다 약간 더 우수한 것으로 분석되었다. 4종류 여재의 수질오염물질처리 비교실험에서는 다공성 소결체, 콩자갈, 폐타이어, 폐콘크리트 순으로 나타났으며, 다공성 소결체 경우는 직경이 작을수록 더욱 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서, 창포가 식재된 직경 5mm의 다공성 소결체여상의 경우 24hr 체류시간과 COD $250mg/{\ell}$, T-N $70mg/{\ell}$ 그리고 T-P $15mg/{\ell}$의 부하량 조건에서 각각 80%, 70% 그리고 90% 이상의 처리효율을 얻을 수 있어서 수생식물 다공성 소결체여상은 생활하수와 같은 저오염부하량을 갖는 오 폐수처리에 적합한 친자연형 폐수처리기술이라고 결론지을 수 있다.

The electrical properties of Al/TiN/Ti contact are investigated at submicron contacts. The contact resistance and contact leakage current are dependent on metallization, surface dopant concentration, semiconductor surface treatment and contact plug ion implantation. In this paper, the contact resistance and contact leakage current are studied according to surface dopant concentration, semiconductor surface treatment and contact plug ion implantation at 0.8 micron contact. The contact resistance and contact leakage current increases with increasing substrate ion concentration. HF cleaning represents high contact resistance but low contact leakage current while CDE cleaning represents low contact resistance but high contact leakage current. Contact plug ion implantation decreases contact resistance but increases contact leakage current. Specially, RTA represents good electrical properties.

The coating N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) on gold surfaces may be used to design the distribution of either gold particle adsorbed to the $ZrO_2$ surface or vice versa by adjusting the electrostatic interactions. In this study, it was performed to find out electrostatic properties of the NAC-coated-gold surface and the $ZrO_2$ surface. The surface forces between the surfaces were measured as a function of the salt concentration and pH value using the AFM. By applying the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory to the surface forces, the surface potential and charge density of the surfaces were quantitatively acquired for each salt concentration and each pH value. The dependence of the potential and charge density on the concentration was explained with the law of mass action, and the pH dependence was with the ionizable groups on the surface.

The present article investigates the influence of hydrogen concentration on the creep performance of cold-worked stress-relieved unirradiated Zircaloy-4 cladding tube using nanoindentation technique. The as-received Zircaloy-4 tube is hydrided to the concentrations of 600 ppm and 900 ppm using gaseous hydrogen charging method. Constant load indentation creep tests are performed for a dwell period of 600 s in the temperature range of 300℃-500 ℃ at 1000 μN, 2000 μN, and 3000 μN. The impact of hydrogen is evaluated in terms of steady state power law creep exponent and activation energy. The power law creep exponent decreases with increase in hydrogen concentration, however, it remains fairly constant with increase in temperature up to 500 ℃. Moreover, activation energy too decreases significantly with increase in hydrogen concentration. The mean stress exponent and activation energy are found to be 3.58 and 28.67 kJ/mol, respectively, for as-received sample.

Silver nitrate colored method that measure easily penetration depth of chloride ion has been used, recently. But, characteristics of silver nitrate colored method hasn't examined well. Therefore, we are aim to examine characteristics of colored method. According to experiment results, when the colored method was applied in concrete, it is reasonable that $AgNO_3$ solution more than 0.05N concentration was sprayed. Chloride concentration difference in colored parts was about 20ppm when $AgNO_3$ of two concentration (0.05N, 0.1N) in concrete was sprayed.
