Recently, plasma surface-cleaning or surface-etching techniques have been focused in respect of the decontamination of spent or used nuclear parts and equipment. In this study the removal rate of metallic cobalt surface is experimentally investigated via its surface etching rate with a $CF_4-o_2$mixed gas plasma. Experimental results reveal that a mixed etchant gas with about 80% $CF_4$-20% $O_2$ (molar) gives the highest reaction rate and the rate reaches 0.06 ${\mu}m$/min at $380^{\circ}C$ and ion-assisted etching dramatically enhances the surface reaction rate. With a negative 300 V DC bias voltage applied to the substrate, the surface reaction initiation temperature lowers and the rate increases about 20 times at $350^{\circ}C$ and up to 0.43 ${\mu}m$/min at $380^{\circ}C$, respectively. Surface morphology analysis confirms the etching rate measurements. Auger spectrum analysis clearly shows the adsorption of fluorine atoms on the reacted surface. From the current experimental findings and the results discussed in previous studies, mechanistic understanding of the surface reaction, fluorination and/or fluoro-carbonylation reaction, is provided.

This study is to discuss limiting factors influenced on the removal efficiency of organic materials investigated using the polypropyrene biofilter which appropriate to attach micro-organism in order to apply the contact oxidation proce,:5. The results obtained in the experiment were as follows : 1. In the range o: pH 4.0~ 12.0 was obtained the removal efficiency of COD higher than 85% It was proved that variation of pH(4.0 ~ 12.0) was nothing to do with the removal efficiency of substrate in continuous reactor. 2. Temperature to obtain removal efficiency of COD higher than 85% was $10^{\circ}$ ~$40^{\circ}$. Removal efficiency of COD was no less than those at high temperature if MLVSS concentration was maintained 8,000~ 15,000 m/1. 3. In the continuous reactor, the volumetric loading of COD for removal efficiency higher than 95% had to be 0.5~1.5 kg COD/.d below. And then the HRT was Bhrs. 4. In comparison with the conventional activate sludge process, the contact oxidation process was excellent in removal efficiency, sludge production rate and maintenance.

Biological removal capacities for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were determined using a yeast strain, Candida tropicalis. In this study, VOCs including toluene, benzene, p-xylene, and styrene as single substrates or mixtures were tested in the batch culture of the yeast strain. In addition, a kinetic model was applied to evaluate substrate interactions between the VOCs. The yeast strain was able to biodegrade each VOC effectively as a growth substrate, implying it could applied to wide range of VOCs. When the yeast strain was subjected to VOCs in mixtures, the biodegradation rate of one substrate were either increased (stimulated) or decreased (inhibited) by the presence of the others. Both benzene and toluene were inhibited by the other VOCs, and substrate interaction parameters estimated in the model indicated that styrene was the strongest inhibitor for the benzene and toluene biodegradation. Meanwhile, the biodegradation of p-xylene and styrene was stimulated by the presence of either benzene or toluene. The biodegradation rate of p-xylene was significantly increased especially by the presence of toluene, and the styrene biodegradation was enhanced greatly by the benzene addition. The results of the substrate interaction by the yeast strain suggest that the biodegradation rates for the VOCs in mixtures should be carefully evaluated. Furthermore, the competitive inhibition coefficient could be applied as a useful index to determine the substrate interaction

Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) is a cyanobacterium species that can form harmful algal blooms in freshwater bodies worldwide. The use of pine needle extract (PNE) to control nuisance algae by allelopathic inhibition will be environmentally friendly and promising. PNE removed successfully upto 98% of M. aeruginosa at the following optimal conditions: pH 7, $25^{\circ}C$ of temperature, 100 rpm of mixing rate, 5 min of mixing time. These results was indicated that the amount of 1 g/L PNE was removed 1g dryweight/L of M. aeruginosa. The kinetic data showed substrate inhibition kinetics and maximum growth rate was obtained when the M. aeruginosa was grown in medium containing 0.5 g/L of initial concentration of PNE. Different substrate inhibition models were fitted to the kinetic data and found the Luong model was best. The model predicted kinetic parameters were in agreement with the experimental findings. The natural extract, PNE, can be a promising inhibition due to its high efficiency and low dose requirements.

CrN coatings have been used as protective coatings for cutting tools, forming tools, and various tribological machining applications because these coatings have high hardness. Cr-Al-N coatings have been investigated to improve the properties of CrN coatings. Cr-Al-N coatings were fabricated by a hybrid physical vapor deposition method consisting of unbalanced magnetron sputtering and arc ion plating with different working pressure and substrate bias voltage. The phase analysis of the composition was performed using XRD (x-ray diffraction). Cr-Al-N coatings were grown with textured CrN phase and (111), (200), and (220) planes. The adhesion strength of the coatings tested by scratch test increased. The friction coefficient and removal rate of the coatings were measured by a ball-on-disk test. The friction coefficient and removal rate of the coatings decreased from 0.46. to 0.22, and from $2.00{\times}10^{-12}m^2/N$ to $1.31{\times}10^{-13}m^2/N$, respectively, with increasing bias voltage. The tribological properties of the coatings increased with increasing substrate bias voltage.

The lab-scale BNR processes fed with Municipal Wastewater Before or After Primary Clarifier (MWBPC or MWAPC) were operated to observe the behavior of particle organic matter in terms of nitrification and denitrification efficiency. As a result of the fractionation of the COD from MWBPC or MWAPC using an aerobic respirometric serum bottle reactor, the total mass of biodegradable organic matter from MWBPC is about 52% greater than the mass from MWAPC. Batch reactors were operated to observe the effect of the Particulate Organic Matter (POM) on substrate utilization for denitrification. Although the consumption of POM for denitrification was observed, the increment of the Specific Denitrification Rate (SDNR) was not great. In terms of the effect of POM on nitrification at different HRTs, activate sludge reactors were operated to determine the optimal HRT when MWBPC and MWAPC were fed relatively. All reactors showed a great organic matter removal efficiency. Reactors fed with MWAPC had obtained the nitrification efficiency above 90% when the HRT of 4 hr, at least, was maintained, while reactors fed with MWBPC had same efficiency when the HRT longer than 5 hr was kept. Three parallel $A^2/O$ systems fed with MWBPC or MWAPC relatively were operated to investigate the effects of POM on BNR processes with varying the HRT of an anoxic reactor. For all systems, the efficiency of organic matter removal and denitrification, respectively, was great and about the same. In case of denitrification efficiency, system with MWAPC had 1.5% lower than system with MWBPC at the same HRT of anoxic reactor of 2 hr, and the increasing the HRT of the anoxic reactor by 1 hr in systems fed with MWBPC resulted in a 3.5% increment. The denitrification rate was similar while the consumption of organic matter in systems fed with MWBPC was higher than system fed with MWBPC. It suggests that POM in MWBPC was not be used significantly as a substrate for denitrification in system with the HRT of 3 hr of an anoxic reactor.

호흡율은 활성미생물의 상태를 정확하게 나타낼 수 있는 상태변수로서 활성슬러지 공정을 모사하는데 유용하게 이용될 수 있다. 크게 competitive, noncompetitive, uncompetitive로 분류되는 독성물질은 미생물의 반속도상수와 비성장율을 증가/감소시켜 기질제거능을 떨어뜨린다. 본 연구에서는 장기폭기법으로 운전되는 pilot-scale 활성슬러지 공정을 대상으로 대표적인 noncompetitive 억제물질인 산성폐수가 유발하는 독성영향을 예측할 수 있는 모델을 도출하고 호흡율을 중심으로 활성슬러지의 거동을 모사하였다. Noncompetitive 억제 모델을 이용하여 pH 3.9~5.5의 산성폐수 유입시 호흡율의 실측치와 계산치는 상관계수가 0.96 이상으로 매우 근사한 결과를 보였다. 그러나 COD로 표현된 유출수 기질농도는 독성영향에도 불구하고 큰 변화를 보이지 않았다. 이는 유입수중의 생분해성 기질(readily biodegradable substrate) 농도가 낮기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다. 그리고 유입수의 기질농도 감소에 의한 호흡율의 감소보다 산성폐수에 의한 호흡율의 감소가 훨씬 크게 나타나 기질농도 감소에 따른 호흡율 기초 독성감지 장치의 오류 가능성은 적은 것으로 판단되었다.

분리 규주는 운동성을 갖는 그람 음성 간균으로서 catalase 양성 반응을 보였으며, citrate, mannitol, sucorse, frutose, trehaslos 등을 이용하였다. Biolog test 결과, 분리 균주는 burkholderia(Pseudomonas) cepacia 이 것으로 동정되었으며, 85.5%의 유사성을 나타내었다. 분리 균주의 최적온도와 pH는 각각 3$0^{\circ}C$, 7.0이었으며, pH 4.0-8.0의 넓은 범위에서 성장이 가능하였다. 그리고 분리 균주의 유기물의 영향을 알아 본 결과 thiosulfate 배지에 yeast extract를 유일한 탄소원으로 혼합하여 첨가하면 thiosulfate 와 yeast extract 중 하나가 성장 제한 인자 중 하나의 농도를 증가시키면 세포 성장에 따른 균체량이 증가하였다. 본 실험에서는 유기물로는 glucose 보다 yeast extract를 첨가했을 때가 증식 속도와 황산화 속도가 높게 나타났다. Thiosulfate 농도에 따른 분리균주의 황산화 속도와 최대 황산화 속도는 각각 0.56.h$^{-1}$과 0.18 g-S/L.h로 나타났다. 결과는 환산화 속도는 기질 농도가 증가함에 따라 완만하게 증가하여 0.12M에서 0.2 g-S.L.에 도달하였으나 0.16M에서는 급격하게 감소하였다. 분리균의 황하 수소 제거능을 조사하기 위하여 각 flow rate 에 따른 최대 제거 속도는 Vm과 K CIn/R과 CIn의 그래프를 이용하여 Hanes-Wolf 식을 통하여 구했다. 즉, 그래프 기울기와 Y절편으로부터 계산한 flow rate 12 L/h에서의 황화 수소에 대한 Vm과 Ks는 각각 6.25 g-S.㎤.h$^{-1}$과 22.88ppm이다 높은 flow rate에서의 제거 효율과 제거 용량은 역 경향이 나타났다. 이것은 mass transfer 효과 즉, 확산 제한에 기인한 것이지 미생물의 효소 활성의 제한에 의한 것은 아니다 (19), 따라서 biofilter 내로 고농도의 황화 수소가 유입 될 때 황화 수소 가스의 flow rate를 줄이든지 또는 적절한 제거 용량에 도달하기 위해 충진물의 부피를 증가 할 필요가 있다.

The feasibility of the up- and down-flow constructed wetland was examined fur rural wastewater treatment in Korea. Many constructed wetland process was suffered from substrate clogging and high plant stresses because of long term operation. The up- and down-flow constructed wetland process used porous granule materials (charcoal pumice : SSR=10:20:70) for promoting intake rate of nutrient to plant, and especially flow type was designed continuously repeating from up-flow to down-flow. $BOD_5$ and SS was removed effectively by the process with the average removal rate being about 75% respectively. The wetland process was effective in treating nutrient as well as organic pollutant. Removal of TN and TP were more effective than other wetland system and mean effluent concentrations were approximately 7.5 and $0.4mg\;L^{-1}$ which satisfied the water quality standard for WWTPs. The treatment system did not experience any clogging or accumulations of pollutants and reduction of treatment efficiency during winter period because constructed polycarbonate glass structure prevented temperature drop. Considering stable performance and effective removal of pollutant in wastewater, low maintenance, and cost-effectiveness, the up- and down-flow constructed wetland was thought to be an effective and feasible alternative in rural area.
