Objective: The aim of this study was to introduce a gelatin/bovine serum albumin (BSA) tissue standard, which provides dissolution properties identical to those of biological tissues. Further, the study evaluated whether the utilization of endodontic activating devices led to enhanced phantom dissolution rates. Materials and Methods: Bovine pulp tissue was obtained to determine a benchmark of tissue dissolution. The surface area and mass of samples were held constant while the ratio of gelatin and BSA were varied, ranging from 7.5% to 10% gelatin and 5% BSA. Each sample was placed in an individual test tube that was filled with an appropriate sodium hypochlorite solution for 1, 3, and 5 minutes, and then removed from the solution, blotted dry, and weighed again. The remaining tissue was calculated as the percent of initial tissue to determine the tissue dissolution rate. A radiopaque agent (sodium diatrizoate) and a fluorescent dye (methylene blue) were added to the phantom to allow easy quantification of phantom dissolution in a canal block model when activated using ultrasonic (EndoUltra) or sonic (EndoActivator) energy. Results: The 9% gelatin + 5% BSA phantom showed statistically equivalent dissolution to bovine pulp tissue at all time intervals. Furthermore, the EndoUltra yielded significantly more phantom dissolution in the canal block than the EndoActivator or syringe irrigation. Conclusions: Our phantom is comparable to biological tissue in terms of tissue dissolution and could be utilized for in vitro tests due to its injectability and detectability.

이 연구에서는 하수 처리 시 발생하는 잉여슬러지의 탈수성을 증대시켜 탈수 후 최종슬러지 케이크를 감소시키기 위해 초음파 적용 가능성을 검토하였다. 이번 연구에서 사용된 슬러지는 하수처리장에서 직접 채취한 탈수 전 잉여슬러지이며 여기에 초음파 조사시간과 조사강도를 달리 가하여 탈수성 변형특성을 고찰하였다. 실내외 실험을 동시에 수행하였으며 각각 용량이 다른 세 개(7리터, 1톤, 7톤)의 처리조를 제작 활용하였다. 초음파 처리 시간과 처리강도에 따라 탈수성 및 감량화 판단 인자로 사용되는 CST와 점도의 변화를 측정하였다. 연구결과 초음파 조사시간이 길어질수록 원 시료의 CST가 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 조사한 슬러지에 응집제를 첨가할 경우 도리어 초음파 강도와 조사시간에 따른 CST가 아주 낮게 최고점의 20%까지 측정되었다. 초음파에 의한 점도 변화는 최고점의 40%까지 감소하였다. 또한 원심력에 따른 슬러지의 침하를 분석하였는데 초음파를 가하고 응집제를 첨가한 슬러지의 초기 침하속도가 더 빠르며, 최종침하량에도 더 빨리 도달한 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과 초음파 조사시간과 초음파 강도가 탈수성에 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으며 연구결과를 현장에 도입할 경우 잉여슬러지의 탈수능 향상과 최종 탈수케이크 감량화에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 가능성 평가를 위하여 대형 처리조를 처리장에 설치 운영하여 탈수케이크의 CST 및 함수율 변화를 고찰하였으며 실험실과 유사한 결과(최고 50% 감소)를 도출하였다.

As the research about increasing the efficiency of dredging soil transport, the technology, which reduce the friction between pipe wall and fluid in the pipe and disturbed generating pipe blockage, has been developed. So for the purpose of applying this technology to real construction site, main test has been tried at the real scale test in field. As a test result, this paper will show 30% flow efficiency increasing by permitted electro magnetic force to the pipe. And test result was evaluated as a ultra sonic velocity profiler. To propose the design technique and the execution manual of the high efficiency dredging material transport technic, this research have confirmed flow status changing depending on a soil material kind under electro-magnetic field and analyze the effect of electro-magnetic field which affects to each dredged soil material transportation. For achieving this research, EMF(Electro-Magnetic Field) generator is installed on the dredger(20,000HP) and through monitored flow status, dredging soil flow rate and sampled material specification is confirmed. Also dredger operating condition is measured and dredger power for soil transportation, hydraulic gradient and flow rate are compared, as transportation efficiency is calculated by this parameter, it is possible to check transportation efficiency improvement depending on each dredged soil material under electro-magnetic field. To verify the technique of dredged soil transfer using electromagnetic field, which is the core technique of the high efficiency dredged soil transfer, and the technique of expert system for pipeline transfer and the flow state. This could lead to a verification of transfer efficiency according to the characteristics of the dredged soil (sand, clay, silt) and the transfer distance (5km, 10km, 15km), which is planned to be used for a technology development of pump power reduction and long-distance transfer applying the high efficiency dredged soil transfer technology.
