As the concentration of ammonium nitrogen could be reached 2～3 mg/L in the winter in the river. It was clear that the excessive concentration of chlorinated organics could be produced with the increase of chlorine addition to remove ammonium nitrogen. In the innovative ammonium nitrogen removal process, zeolite adsorption is very efficient as substitute for rapid sand filtration without other adverse quality change in the water. This study is conducted to evaluate the feasibility of ammonium nitrogen removal and regeneration by zeolite adsorption in drinking water treatment. Also, the reuse possibility of zeolite is evaluated to change the removal efficiency of ammonium nitrogen through several times of regeneration. The ammonium nitrogen was not removed in sand filter, but it was almost removed in zeolite filter during 7 days. The sand and zeolite filters have a similar result of turbidity removal. Therefore, zeolite filtration was confirmed the removal of turbidity and ammonium nitrogen as a media. When compared KCl with NaCl as a chemical for zeolite regeneration, it is demonstrated that KCl was more efficient than NaCl in the ability of zeolite regeneration. The adsorption rate of ammonium nitrogen was almost not decreased in the results of several times of regeneration. It is indicated that both zeolite and regeneration solution were possible to reuse without variation of regeneration rate through this study.

This study has carried out to evaluate the effect of NaCI as electrolyte of single (electrolysis and UV process) and complex (electrolysis/UV) processes for the purpose of removal and mineralization of Rhodamine B (RhB) dye in water. It also evaluated the synergetic effect on the combination of electrolysis and UV process. The experimental results showed that RhB removal of UV process was decreased with increase of NaCl, while RhB removal of electrolysis and electrolysis/UV process was increased with increase of NaCI. The decolorization rate of the RhB solution in every process was more rapid than the mineralization rate identified by COD removal. The latter took longer time for further oxidation. Absorption spectra of an aqueous solution containing RhB showed a continued diminution of the RhB concentration in the bulk solution: concomitantly, no new absorption peaks appeared. This confirmed the decolorization of RhB, i.e., the breakup of the chromophores. It was observed that RhB removal in electrolysis/UV process is similar to the sum of the UV and electrolysis. However, it was found that the COD of RhB could be degraded more efficiently by the electrolysis/UV process than the sum of the two individual process. A synergetic effect was demonstrated in electrolysis/UV process.

SiO₂-coated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄@SiO₂ NPs) were modified by 3-nitrobenzelidenmalononitrile and used as green linkages for removal of Hg²⁺ form the wastewater. In this research, it has been attempted to refer to the harmful effects of mercury ions for living things and how to remove such ions using very easy and practical technique. This study shows that by optimizing the test conditions, the efficiency of the removal of harmful ions such as mercury from the water contaminated with these ions can be increased. Conditions such as temperature, speed of agitation, pH of solution were tested for removal of mercury ions. The advantages of this method over other methods listed in the article are the rapid and easy nanocry synthesis. The generated and modified Fe₃O₄@SiO₂ nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, fourier transform infrared and scanning electron microscopy spectroscopy. The results show that the synthesized magnetic nanoparticles have the excellent performance for the removal of mercury(II) ion from the waste water.

The technology of rapid prototyping (RP) is used for design verification, function test and fabrication of prototype. The current issues in RP are improvement in accuracy and application of various materials. In this paper, a hybrid rapid prototyping system is introduced which can fabricate nano composites using various materials. This hybrid system adopts RP and machining process, so material deposition and removal is performed at the same time in a single station. As examples, micro gears and a composite scaffold were fabricated using photo cured polymer with nano powders such as carbon black and hydroxyapatite. From the micro gear samples the hybrid RP technology showed higher precision than those made by casting or deposition process.

유기물(有機物)을 제거(除去)키 위한 토양처리(土壤處理) system에 있어서 특히 급속토양삼투법(急速土壤渗透法)은 다른 토양처리방법(土壤處理方法)에 비(比)해 기온(氣溫) 변화(變化)에 대한 제한(制限)을 덜 받고 수지면적(數地面積)을 적게 요구(要求)하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 급속토양처리(急速土壤處理)에 대한 본(本) 연구(硏究)에서는 유기물(有機物) 제거율(除去率)과 침투율(浸透率), 생물학적(生物學的) 산소흡수(酸素吸收)에 따른 용존산소(溶存酸素)의 변화(變化), 그리고 pH 등을 사토(砂土)를 채운 실험통(實驗筒)을 이용(利用)하여 규명코자 했으며 또한 단위면적당(單位面積當) COD 제거량(除去量) 및 TKN으로부터의 질산화율(窒酸化率) 등을 구(求)하였다. 그 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. 1) 사시(砂尸)이 1m 이상(以上)인 경우 침투율(浸透率)이 15~20cm/day 이하(以下)에서는 COD제거(除去)가 90% 이상(以上)으로 안정(安定)하게 유지되며 지하수위(地下水位)까지의 깊이를 고려(考慮)하면 침투오염물(浸透汚染物)로 인(因)한 오염(汚染)영향은 매우 작다고 본다. 2) 단위면적당(單位面積當) COD 제거량(除去量)은 적절(適切)한 운영하(運營下)에서 10~14g/day를 쉽게 기대할 수 있고 기질분해(基質分解)는 대부분(大部分) media표층(表層)에서 이루어지는 것으로 판단된다. 3) 일반적(一般的)으로 TKN의 $NO_3{^-}$-N으로의 전환(轉換)은 상당한 체류시간(滯留時間)이 주어진다면 COD제거율(除去率)에 비례(比例)한다고 본다.

Granular activated carbon (GAC) has been identified as a best available technology (BAT) by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) for removal disinfection by-product (DBP) precursors, such as dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON). Rapid small-scale column test (RSSCT) were used to investigate four types of carbon (F400, Norit1240, Norit40S, and Aquasorb1500) for their affinity to absorb natural organic matter (NOM). DOC, $UV_{254}$, and Total dissolved nitrogen (TON) concentrations were measured in the column effluent to track GAC breakthrough. DOC and $UV_{254}$ breakthrough occurred at around 3500 bed volumes (BVs) of operation for all GACs investigated. The $UV_{254}$ breakthrough curves showed 33% to 48% at 8000 BVs, when the DOC was 48% to 65%. All GACs showed greater removal in DOC than $UV_{254}$. The NORIT1240 GAC was determined to have the highest adsorption capacity for DOC and $UV_{254}$. The removal of nitrate (NOTN) had not broken through over BVs. The initial TON breakthrough curves were started around 50%, when the DOC breakthrough was only 10 % at 500 BVs. The curves were gradually increased after 3500 BVs and approximately 69% through 81% of TON breakthrough occurred at 8000 BVs. All of the GACs were able to remove TON, in the case of this investigation the majority of the TON was present as DON. Because nitrate nitrogen was seldom removed and ammonium nitrogen ($NH_3-N$) was not detected in the effluent from RSSCTs even though raw water. The carbon usage rate of DOC was from 2 to 6 times less than that of TON. The NORIT1240 GAC demonstrated the best performance in terms of DOC removal, while the F400 GAC was best in terms of TON removal. Excitation emission matrix(EEM) analysis was used to show that GAC adsorption successfully removed most of Humic-like DOC and Fulvic-like DOCs. However, soluble microbial product(SMP)-like DOC in the absence of raw water were detected in the NORIT40S and Aquasorb1500 GAC. The authors assumed that this results is due probably to the part of GAC in the RSSCT which was converted into biological activated carbon(BAC). To compare with organics removal by GAC according to preloading, the virgin GACs had readily accessible sites that were adsorbed DOC more rapidly than preloaded GACs, but the TDN removal had not showed differences between those GACs.

지금까지 급속혼화는 정수처리 공정 중에서 매우 중요한 공정으로 인식되어 왔다. 특히, 응집제의 원수내 확산은 급속혼화 공정에 이어지는 flocculation이나 filtration 공정에 지대한 영향을 미치게 되므로 지금까지 많은 연구자들이 혼화장치의 개발이나 효율적인 혼화방식에 관해 연구를 해왔다. 그러나 선행 연구자들은 급속혼화에 있어서 중요한 변수로 응집제 주입량, pH, 임펠러의 회전속도, 그리고 G값만을 고려하였으나, 실제 응집제와 콜로이드입자와의 충돌기회에 지대한 영향을 미치는 급속혼화 공정상에서 발생되는 난류장을 간과하였다. 특히 급속혼화에서의 난류의 발생은 G값에 전적으로 의지하여 난류장의 평균값으로 혼화조내의 난류를 표현하여 왔으며, 혼화조의 형상에 따라 달라지는 난류장 해석은 연구가 미약한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 급속혼화에서 난류장 해석의 중요성을 인식하고 혼화조의 형상 변화에 따라 달라지는 난류장을 전산유체 프로그램을 통하여 해석하였다. 그리고 혼화조 형상을 달리하며 jar-test를 수행한 결과 배플이 없는 원형 jar의 경우가 배플이 장착된 원형 jar나 Hudson jar보다 응집제의 확산에 따른 탁도 제거효율이 좋은 것으로 나타났으며, 전산유체 프로그램을 이용하여 각각 모사한 결과 벽면효과나 사류지역의 발생 등으로 배플이 없는 원형 jar가 혼화에 효과적인 난류장이 분포되는 것으로 확인되었다. 이 결과를 통해 혼화조 형상이 응집제의 확산이나 난류장의 발생에 영향을 미치는 것으로 결론 내릴 수 있다.

It is well known that manganese is hard to oxidize under neutral pH condition in the atmosphere while iron can be easily oxidized to insoluble iron oxide. The purpose of this study is to identify removal mechanism of manganese in the D water treatment plant where is treating bank filtered water in aeration and rapid sand filtration. Average concentration of iron and manganese in bank filtered water were 5.9 mg/L and 3.6 mg/L in 2008, respectively. However, their concentration in rapid sand filtrate were only 0.11 mg/L and 0.03 mg/L, respectively. Most of the sand was coated with black colored manganese oxide except surface layer. According to EDX analysis of sand which was collected in different depth of sand filter, the content of i ron in the upper part sand was relatively higher than that in the lower part. while manganese content increased with a depth. The presence of iron and manganese oxidizing bacteria have been identified in sand of rapid sand filtration. It is supposed that these bacteria contributed some to remove iron and manganese in rapid sand filter. In conclusion, manganese has been simultaneously removed by physicochemical reaction and biological reaction. However, it is considered that the former reaction is dominant than the latter. That is, Mn(II) ion is rapidly adsorbed on ${\gamma}$-FeOOH which is intermediate iron oxidant and then adsorbed Mn(II) ion is oxidized to insoluble manganese oxide. In addition, manganese oxidation is accelerated by autocatalytic reaction of manganese oxide. The iron and manganese oxides deposited on the surface of the sand and then are aged with coating sand surface.

The results of the water purification studies using water parsley (Oenanthe javanica) were obtained as follows. The removal rate of nutrient salts increased with longer plant growth periods. The results of this study use the assumption, log(T+1) = $K(C_0-C)^A$, based on Prakish's Theory. The initial concentration was calculated from experimental data. A and K are closely related to the initial concentration. It is possible to model the concentration of residual salts, as time goes by, if concentration is constant. It was observed that water parsley neutralizes acid and alkali substances promptly. The maximum suitable neutralization period is 48 hours. But water parsley withered up in strong acid and alkali solutions within a week. The removal efficiency of Cd progresses in 2 steps, which are unrelated to the initial concentration of Cd. The first part of the curve shows the concentration rapid rate of Cd removal, followed by a levelling off. The removal rate of $NO_x-N$ in the sample water tank containing 0.5 ppm Cd was between 50~80% but the removal rate was less than 20% for the higher concentration. On the other hand, increased amounts of $PO_4-P$ in the sample water tank from the third day on suspected that $PO_4-P$ was desorbed from the water parsley. The accumulation efficiency of Cd in plant was increased in proportion to the initial concentration of Cd. The accumulation phenomenon was observed in the tanks more than 50~100 times.

A potassium copper hexacyanoferrate (KCuHCF) embedded magnetic hydrogel bead (HCF-Mbead) was synthesized via a facile double crosslinking methods of $Fe^{3+}$ ionic binding and freeze-thaw for effective $Cs^+$ removal. The HCF-Mbead had a hierarchical porous structure facilitating fast access of $Cs^+$ ions to embedded active sites. The adsorbent showed enhanced $Cs^+$ removal properties in terms of capacity (69.2 mg/g), selectivity ($K_d=4{\times}10^4mL/g$, 1 ppm $Cs^+$ in seawater) and stability (>99.5% removal in pH 3~11) with rapid magnetic separation. This study further opens the possibility to develop an efficient material that links the integration of adsorption and recovery.
