In nucleation assisted crystallization process formed $CO_2$ leaves as colloid gas and is used as the template by the rapidly growing crystals in the nucleation site. This emulsion of $CaCO_3$ micro-crystals & $CO_2$ micro-bubbles forms hollow particles. Formed hollow particles are double walled, both internal and external faces belonging to the cleavage aragonites which separate the surrounding water from the enclosed gas cavity. Hence, the reverse reaction of $CO_2$ with water forming Carbonic Acid is not possible and the pH stability is maintained. In fact every excess $CaCO_3$ crystals are buffering any carbonic acid left over. This $CO_2$ based nucleation technology prevents scale formation in water channels, but it also helps to reduce the previously formed scales. This process takes out water dissolved $CO_2$ in almost-visible micro-bubbles forms that helps reducing previously formed scale over a period of time (depends on the usage period). The aragonite crystals can't form scale because of its stable molecular structure and neutral surface electro potentiality.

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of temperature on operating parameters for reactor in pig wastewater treatment using sequencing batch reactor method which is one of the biological treatment methods. Study was accomplished by experimental apparatus of bench scale, and the degradation rate coefficient and temperature correction factor were derived. The followings are the conclusions that were derived from this study. 1. In the characteristics of pig wastewater, concentrations of TKN and T-P were very high as 590 mg/l and 40 mg/l, respectively. 2. Removal efficiency of BOD and $COD_{Mn}$ as organic compound indicators were the highest mark as 97% at 25$\circ$C. 3. When temperature was incresed from 10$\circ$C to 25$\circ$C, removal efficiencies of TKN and T-P were proportionally increased. Especially, the former was greatly effected by temperature of reactor. 4. In experiment of bench scale, the degradation rate coefficients were increased as temperature increased, but decreased at the temperature range of 25~35$\circ$C. Temperature adjustment coefficients for $COD_{Mn}$, BOD, TKN and T-P were 1.1460, 1.1356, 1.1140 and 1.0565, respectively.

A scaled-up bioconversion of fishmeal wastewater (FMW) into liquid fertilizer was performed five times in a $1m^3$ reactor in order to examine the feasibility of commercialization. The importance of aeration was marked. Analyses indicated that dissolved oxygen (DO) level was closely related to the value of oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) and it was crucial to achieve high-quality liquid fertilizer. When pure oxygen was supplied through four diffusers into the reactor, DO levels and ORP values were maintained over 1.2 mg/L and 0.2 mV, respectively all the time during 52 hr of bioconversion. The pH changed from 6.8 to 5.9. The average removal percentages of chemical oxygen demand ($COD_{Cr}$) and total nitrogen (TN) were 75.0% and 71.6%, respectively. Compared to the result acquired in a 5-L reactor, bioconversion of FMW into liquid fertilizer was achieved in a shorter time under the same removal percentages of $COD_{Cr}$ and TN. The 52-hr culture of inoculated FMW was phytotoxic-free and it possessed comparable fertilizing ability to a liquid fertilizer made from the fish waste in hydroponic culture with amino acid contents of 5.93 g/ 100 g sample. From all the above results, transferring lab-scale data to large-scale production appeared to be successful. As a result, the commercialization of a liquid fertilizer made from FMW was feasible.

Pilot-scale PSSBR(Phase Separated Sequencing Batch Reactor) was operated to evaluate requirement of external carbon sources(${\Delta}gCOD/{\Delta}gNO_3^{-}-N$) in denitrification. Methanol and fermented food waste were used as external carbon sources. Methanol and fermented food waste were fed to the anoxic state of first reactor and concentration were 50 and 40 mgCOD/L on the basis of concentration in reactor, respectively. In case that external carbon source was not used, average $NO_3^{-}-N$ concentration in effluent was 22.49 mg/L. When methanol and fermented food waste were fed, average $NO_3^{-}-N$ concentration in effluent were 10.13 mg/L and 6.3 mg/L, respectively and requirement of external carbon sources were 4.04 and 2.5 ${\Delta}gCOD/{\Delta}gNO_3^{-}-N$, respectively. Fermented food waste was better than methanol in denitrification efficiency. Therefore fermented food waste could be one of the excellent external carbon sources for nitrogen removal in biological nutrient removal process.

The biological removal of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) was studied in a bench-scale bioreactor using a bacterial culture of strain OK-5 originally Isolated from soil samples contaminated with TNT. The TNT was completely removed within 4 days of incubation in a 2.5 L bench-scale bioreactor containing a newly developed medium. The TNT was catabolized in the presence of different supplemented carbons. Only minimal growth was observed in the killed controls and cultures that only received TNT during the incubation period. This catabolism was affected by the concentration ratio of the substrate to the biomass. The addition of various nitrogen sources produced a delayed effect for the TNT degradation. Tween 80 enhanced the degradation of TNT under these conditions. Two metabolic intermediates were detected and identified as 2-amino-4, 6-dinitrotoluene and 4-amino-2, 6-dinitrotoluene based on HPLC and GC-MS analyses, respectively. Strain OK-5 was characterized using the BIOLOG system and fatty acid profile produced by a microbial identification system equipped with a Hewlett Packard HP 5890 II gas chromatograph. As such, the bacterium was identified as a Stenotrophomonas species and designated as Stenotrophomonas sp. OK-5.

A pilot-scale biofilter was constructed to discover degradation characteristics of the complex odor discharged from Ansan wastewater treatment plant. Candida tropicalis for volatile organic compounds, sulfur oxidizing bacteria(SOB) for hydrogen sulfide, and bacteria extracted from feces soil were immobilized on a polymer gel media. According to this study, the EBCT was varied from 36 sec to 18 sec. Toluene was removed as 80% along the variations, but it was recovered as 100% within 1 week. All benzene and xylene were removed during the operation while the efficiency of hydrogen sulfur was temporary decreased at 18 sec of EBCT, thereafter it was recovered to 100% within a week. The maximum elimination capacities of the benzene, toluene, xylene, and hydrogen sulfur were 6.6 g/$m^{3}$/hr, 31.7 g/$m^{3}$/hr, 7.8 g/$m^{3}$/hr, and 133.6 g/$m^{3}$/hr, respectively. There were merits on removal both organic and inorganic complex odor using the pilot-scale biofilter embedded with microorganisms immobilized on polymer gel media.

Photosynthetic bacteria (PSB) attract considerable interest as useful microorganisms; nevertheless, a generalized culture technique has not been previously reported owing to difficulty in their cultivation. Therefore, a simple culture technique suitable for public use was investigated. Among the PSB tested, the strain Rhodobacter azotoformans EBN-7 was the most suitable for scale-up production because it showed the highest specific growth rate (0.20 h^-1) on basal medium. In scale-up cultivation (500 L), R. azotoformans EBN-7 showed 4.50 × 10¹⁰ colony-forming units mL^-1 (number of viable cells), dry cell weight of 26.8 g/L, and a specific growth rate of 0.15 h^-1. Cultivation using this final culture broth (as seed culture) in a 15 L simple reactor was successful, with maintenance of cell activity evident. For use as seed culture, the maximum allowable preservation period of R. azotoformans EBN-7 at 4℃ was 3 months. When R. azotoformans EBN-7 cultivated in a simple technique was applied to shrimp aquaculture water, NH₄⁺-N was reduced from 0.61 mg/L to 0.24 mg/L (by 60.7%) in 4 days in comparison with the control. Thus, this simple culture technique using R. azotoformans EBN-7 has the potential for a good removal efficiency of NH₄⁺-N, making seed culture easier and suitable for public use.

Drug-induced dyskinesia is an involuntary muscle movement caused by various dopamine receptor-blocking drug exposure, such as antipsychotics, antidepressants, and antiemetics. Causative drug removal is the main treatment for drug-induced dyskinesia whenever possible because its pathophysiology lacks a universally accepted mechanism; however, the symptoms can persist for years or decades in many patients even after causative drug removal. Herein, we present a case of drug-induced dyskinesia in a 61-year-old female patient who consumed medication for approximately 10 years for her depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Cervical and facial dyskinesia was suggested to be related to perphenazine and levosulpiride administration. The patient received acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, herbal medicine, and chuna treatment for 81 days during hospitalization. The symptoms were evaluated using the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale, Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale, Tsui's score, and Numeric Rating Scale, which revealed remarkable improvement, suggesting the effectiveness of combined Korean medicine for drug-induced dyskinesia.

본 연구에서는 국내에서 개발되어진 섬유사 필터의 충진밀도와 여과속도가 처리 효율에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구결과를 나타내었다. 0.93 mm의 직경을 가진 폴리아마이드 섬유사가 충진된 직경 40 cm, 높이 2 m의 pilot-scale 규모의 반응기에서 수행되었다. 충진밀도가 섬유사 여과기의 처리효율에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 여과속도를 325 m/hr로 고정하고 충진밀도를 $70kg/m^3$에서 $100kg/m^3$의 범위에서 운전하였으며, 이와 반대로 여과 속도가 섬유사 여과기의 처리효율에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위해서 충진밀도를 $70kg/m^3$으로 고정시킨 뒤 여과속도를 65 m/hr에서 400 m/hr의 범위로 운전하였다. 충진밀도가 증가할수록 여과 압력은 기하급수적으로 증가하였다. 탁도 및 SS 제거효율은 $80kg/m^3$까지는 30% 이내의 낮은 제거효율을 나타내었으며, $100kg/m^3$에서도 50% 이하의 낮은 제거효율을 나타내었다. 여과속도에 따른 섬유사 여과기의 여과압력은 여과 속도와 비례적으로 증가하였다. 여과속도가 낮을수록 탁도와 SS의 제거효율도 증가하였으며 65 m/hr에서 73%의 제거 효율을 나타내었다. 전체적으로, 섬유사 여과기를 이용한 입자상 물질의 제거 효율을 개선하기 위해서는 충진 밀도 보다 여과속도를 유입수 특성에 따라 적절히 조절하는 것이 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서 연속회분식반응기(SBR)를 이용한 유기물질과 영양염류(N, P)처리가 수행되었다. 이 연구 결과들을 요약하면 다음과 같다. BOD는 $19.6{\sim}40.0mg/L$의 범위로 유입되고, 처리수는 $3.0{\sim}14.8mg/L$로 실험기간의 경과에 따라 점차 안정적으로 처리되었다. 이때의 제거율은 $47.9{\sim}88.4%$로 평균 80.0%로 안정적인 제거율을 보였다. 그리고 COD는 $12.2{\sim}32.0mg/L$의 범위로 유입되었으며, 처리수는 $3.3{\sim}18.6mg/L$로 제거율은 $19.2{\sim}78.6%$로 평균 57.3%의 제거율을 보였다. 하지만 79일 이후의 평균 COD 제거율은 70.2%로 안정적인 제거율은 보였다. T-N의 경우 유입농도는 $7.53{\sim}14.99mg/L$, 처리수는 초기 79일까지는 평균 6.59mg/L로 제거율이 평균 40.3%로 낮았지만 시스템이 정상화된 80일 이후는 평균 4.44mg/L로 처리되어 그 제거율이 56.4%로 나타났다. 또한 T-P의 경우는 유입수의 농도는 $0.77{\sim}1.91mg/L$, 처리수는 $0.26{\sim}1.53mg/L$으로 제거율이 $5.3{\sim}71.7%$로 상당히 큰 변화를 보였으며, 평균제거율은 42.6%로 나타났다. 이는 MLSS 증가를 위해 슬러지 인발을 하지 않았기 때문으로 판단된다.
