영산강수계는 상류에 4개의 농업용 댐이 위치하여 환경대응용수 확보 및 하천유지유량이 절대적으로 부족하고, 갈수기 하천 유량의 약 67 %가 광주 제 1, 2 하수처리장 방류수가 차지하고 있어 하천의 수질과 수생태계를 위협하고 있다. 이에 최근에는 오염된 하천의 건강성을 회복하기 위한 방법으로 수생태계의 정화능력을 활용한 인공습지가 각광받고 있다. 영산강 유역에서도 자연의 정화능력을 활용하여 하천 오염원을 저감시키기 위한 사업의 일환으로 2016년 광주 제 2 하수처리장 방류구에 서창오미공원 습지를 조성하였다. 이 습지는 유입량이 적어 정상적 기능이 어려운 기존 습지를 재조성한 것으로 하수처리장 방류수 약 5만 ㎥/day을 습지로 유입시켜 수질정화용 식재식물을 이용하여 하수처리장 방류수 수질을 개선한 사업이다. 2016~2017년 모니터링 결과, 습지 유입 전·후 BOD는 평균 33.5 %, 최대 73.1 % 저감 되었으며, T-P 또한 평균 59.3 %, 최대 91.6 % 저감 되었다. 그러나 습지는 운영기간 경과 시 퇴적물 축적, 고사체로 인한 T-P 용출 등으로 인하여 처리수의 수질이 더 악화될 우려가 있기 때문에 습지 조성 후 지속적인 유지관리와 모니터링이 필요하다. 그 예로 하수처리장 방류수와 비점오염원 처리를 위해 주암호에 조성된 인공습지의 경우, 2001년 준공 후 지속적인 관리 및 모니터링을 통하여 약 17년이 지난 2018년에도 BOD 49.3 % T-N 65.1 %, T-P 19.2 % 로 저감되어 오염원 및 영양염류 제거에 큰 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 조사에서는 서창오미공원과 주암호 인공습지 운영 결과를 토대로 습지 모니터링의 중요성과 적정 운영 방안을 제시하고자 하며, 영산강 하천의 점·비점오염원 저감을 위한 신규 인공습지 조성 사업에 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다.

There have been several problems in treating shipbard sewage due to special environmental conditions of ship, such as limited space, rolling and pitching, change of temperature and so on It was suggested that Sequence Batch Reactor (SBR) might be suitable process for overcome these problems in terms of small size, high capacity of treating wastewater and full automation. In this study a SBR process was employed for biological treatment of organic wastes in the shipboard sewage. This process was able to remove nitrogen and phosphorus as well as organic matter efficiently. Afore than 95％ of chemical oxygen demand(COD) were removed. In addition, about 97％ of total nitrogen (T-N) was reduced. The total phosphorus(T-P) reduction averaged 93％. A disturbance operation caused by the treatment of Methylene Blue Active Substances(MBAS) was not observed.

Tetra-ethoxysilane (TEOS)은 일반적으로 저온 게이트 산화막의 원료 널리 이용되고 있으나 as-deposited 상태에서는 필수적으로 생성된 높은 계면밀도와 고정전하를 제거하기 위하여 수소계면처리, forming gas annealing 등 후처리 공정을 필수적으로 거처야만 한다. 즉 후처리 공정 없이도 일정수준의 계면밀도와 고정전하를 갖을 수 있는 출발물질이 제안되면 산업적 의미를 갖을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 TEOS를 대체할 수 있는 후보재료로써 Tetra-iso-propoxysilane (T-iso-POS)을 제안하였다. T-iso-POS는 iso 구조의 3차원적 특수 구조를 가지므로 더 쉽게 분해 될 수 있어 탄소의 결합을 억제 할 수 있다고 사료된다. 용량 결합형 PECVD (13.56 MHz) 장비를 이용하여 RCA 세정을 실시 한 p-Si (100) 기판위에 TEOS 혹은 T-iso-POS (2 sccm)와 O2를 도입(50 sccm), 플라즈마 전원(20~100 W), 압력(0.1~0.5 torr), 온도 ($170{\sim}400^{\circ}C$), 전극 간 거리 (1~4.5cm)의 조건 하에서 증착하였다. 얻어진 각각의 SiO2 막에 대해, 성장 속도, 2% BHF 용액보다 에칭 속도, IV 특성과 C-V 특성, FT-IR에 의해 화학구조 평가를 실시했다. T-iso-POS원료로 사용하여 TEOS보다 낮은 약 $200^{\circ}C$에서 증착 된 산화막에서 후 처리 없이도 10 MV/cm 이상의 절연 파괴 특성을 나타내는 우수한 게이트 절연막 제작에 성공했다. 그 성장 속도도 약 20 nm/min로 높았다.

An integrated slow mixing/sedimentation and net fit fiber filtration system has been developed to reduce the high concentrations of suspended solid (SS) and total phosphorus (T-P) in the reject water from sewage/wastewater. A filtration device used in this experiment consists of coagulation, in-line mixing, air injection, slow mixing/sedimentation, and filtration processes. The performance test using this device was carried out with six operational modes for reject water from sewage treatment plant. Experimental conditions used were 16.7, 33.3, 41.7 and 50.0 ton/day of flow rate and 2~4 of Al/P molar ratio. By injection of coagulant in each operational mode, the high removal efficiencies of SS and T-P were obtained, but continuous operation time was decreased to 7.8~11.4 min in most modes. However, when the Mode 5 of the developed filtration device was applied, the continuous operation time was maintained up to 88.2 min. Also, it was found that the continuous operation time in the Mode 5 using the developed system was increased from 8 to 11.3 times longer than those in other modes. Backwashing flow rate was also very low at 5.4% of total filtered water. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Mode 5 of the developed filtration system was the most efficient treatment method for the removal of high concentrations of SS and T-P.

Ethanolamine (ETA) is mainly used to prevent corrosion of pipe in secondary cooling system of nuclear power plant. Condensed ETA in wastewater could increase COD and T-N when it was emitted to natural water system. Compared to conventional treatments, electrochemical oxidation process using packed bed bipolar electrodes was adopted to treat COD and T-N. According to arrangement of feeder electrode, single packed bed bipolar electrode reactor and multi-paired packed bed bipolar reactor were developed and conventional zero-valent iron (ZVI) was selected as conducting bipolar electrode. Bipolar electrodes were coordinated three-dimensionally in the reactor. The experimental results showed that COD and T-N was little removed in unit system at different pH condition (pH 8 and 11) on 100V. However, in multi-paired system that applied 600V, COD was eliminated 80.85% (anode-cathode-anode, A-C-A) and 85.11% (cathode-anode-cathode, C-A-C), respectively. T-N was also removed 96.88% (A-C-A) and 90.63% (C-A-C), simultaneously. Current efficiency was estimated both single and multi-paired system. At unit bipolar packed bed reactor, current efficiency was almost zero, however in multi-paired system, current efficiency was 300~500% at A-C-A and 250~350% at C-A-C. Current efficiency was over 100% hence it was confirmed that this system is more effective than conventional electrochemical oxidation system.

The combined ADEPT(Anaerobic Digestion Elutriated Phased Treatment)-SHARON(Single reactor system for High Ammonium Removal Over nitrite)-ANAMMOX(Anaerobic ammonium oxidation) processes were operated for resources recovery and nitrogen removal from slurry-type piggery waste. The ADEPT process operated at an acidogenic loading rates of 3.95 gSCOD/L-day, the SCOD elutriation rate and acid production rate were 5.3 gSCOD/L-day and 3.3 gVFAs(as COD)/L-day, respectively. VS reduction and SCOD reduction by the hydrolysis were 13% and 0.19 $gSCOD_{prod.}/gVS_{feeding}$, respcetively. Also, the acid production rate was 0.80 $gVFAs/gSCOD_{prod}$. In methanogenic reactor, the gas production rate and methane content were 2.8 L/day($0.3m^3CH_4/kgCOD_{removal}@STP$) and 77%, respectively. With these operating condition, the removals of nitrogen and phosphorus were 94.1% as $NH_4-N$(86.5% as TKN) and 87.3% as T-P respectively.

In this study, the effect of copper content on the NO removal efficiency by Cu/MCM-41 has been investigated. MCM-41 was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis using a gel mixture of colloidal silica solution and cetyltrimethylammonium. Cu/MCM-41 was manufactured with copper content (5, 10, 20, and 40%) in Cu(II) acetylacetonate. The surface properties of MCM-41 were investigated by using pH, XRD, and FT-IR analyses. $N_2/77K$ adsorption isotherm characteristics, including the specific surface area and micropore volume were studied by BET's equation and Boer's t-plot methods. NO removal efficiency was confirmed by gas chromatography technique. From the experimental results, the MCM-41 was analyzed to have the surface functional groups of Si-OH and Si-O-Si and the characteristic diffraction lines (100), (110), (200), and (210) corresponding to a hexagonal arrangement structure. The copper content supported on MCM-41 appeared to increase the NO removal efficiency in spite of decreasing the specific surface areas or micropore volumes. Consequently, it was found that the copper content in Cu/MCM-41 played an important role in improving the NO removal efficiency, which was mainly attributed to the catalytic reactions.

This Paper presents a novel approach to single channel microphone speech enhancement in noisy environments. Widely used noise reduction techniques based on the spectral subtraction are generally expressed as a spectral gam depending on the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The well-known decision-directed(DD) estimator of Ephraim and Malah efficiently reduces musical noise under the background noise conditions, but generates the delay of the a prioiri SNR because the DD weights the speech spectrum component of the Previous frame in the speech signal. Therefore, the noise suppression gain which is affected by the delay of the a priori SNR, which is estimated by the DD matches the previous frame rather than the current one, so after noise suppression. this degrades the noise reduction performance during speech transient periods. We propose a computationally simple but effective speech enhancement technique based on the sigmoid type function for the weight Parameter of the DD. The proposed approach solves the delay problem about the main parameter, the a priori SNR of the DD while maintaining the benefits of the DD. Performances of the proposed enhancement algorithm are evaluated by ITU-T p.862 Perceptual Evaluation of Speech duality (PESQ). the Mean Opinion Score (MOS) and the speech spectrogram under various noise environments and yields better results compared with the fixed weight parameter of the DD.

In this study, we evaluated the protective effects of the hot water extract from red bean (Phaseolus angularis) against oxidative DNA and cell damage induced by hydroxyl radical. The antioxidant activities were evaluated by hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay, and $Fe^{2+}$-chelating assay. Although the extract with hot water didn't scavenge the hydroxyl radical, it removed and chelated hydrogen peroxide and ferrous iron necessary for the induction of hydroxyl radical by 71% and 64% at 200 ${\mu}g/ml$, respectively. Its protective effect on oxidative DNA damage was carried using ${\Psi}$X-174 RF I plasmid DNA comparing the conversion level of supercoiled form of the plasmid DNA into open-circular form and linear form and the expression level of phospho-H2AX in NIH 3T3 cells. In ${\Psi}$X-174 RF I plasmid DNA cleavage assay, it inhibited oxidative DNA damage by 96% at 200 ${\mu}g/ml$. Also, it decreased the expression of phospho-H2AX by 50.1% at 200 ${\mu}g/ml$. Its protective effect against oxidative cell damage was measured by MTT assay and the expression level of p21 protein in NIH 3T3 cells. In MTT assay for the protective effect against the oxidative cell damage, it inhibited the oxidative cell death and the abnormal cell growth induced by hydroxyl radical. Also, it inhibited p21 protein expression by 98% at 200 ${\mu}g/ml$. In conclusion, the results of the present studies indicate that hot water extract from red bean exhibits antioxidant properties and inhibit oxidative DNA damage and the cell death caused by hydroxyl radical.
