The sludge flotation/thickening apparatus equipped a micro-bubble generating pump was used to investigate micro-bubble generating properties on operational parameters. We evaluated micro-bubble generating properties as results to be operated the apparatus by operational parameters which are pump discharge pressure, air/water ratio(A/W ratio), air flow rate, and water flow rate. Micro-bubble generating efficiencies in pumps without recycling flow and with 50% of recycling flow was found to be very efficient on optimum A/W ratio from 1.06 to 3.62% and optimum A/W ratio from 1.05 to 4.06%, respectively. In condition of 3.6% of A/W ratio, we showed that the apparatus could be generated 36,000 ppm of micro-bubble concentration to be optimum treatment efficiency in sludge thickening process.

Marine caused pollution occurs mostly near coastal area and its main cause was known to be human feces issued from small vessels. To sterilize liquid pollutants from portable toilets of small vessels, an electrolysis treatment is judged to be the most economic and stable method considering an environment of its use. In this paper, we presents an electrolysis apparatus which is the most appropriate for sterilizing pollutants from portable toilets of small vessels and derives the minimum operating time of the apparatus for sterilizing norovirus which is a main target of marine caused pollution sources. In order to utilize renewable energy, we designed an apparatus which generates a renewable energy from solar cells. As a result, we could confirm the applicability of the proposed system with the results from experiments in three cases of different weather conditions.

In connection with the monitoring of insulation degradation of large power apparatus in order to predict their unexpected service failures, a statistical treatment, such as phase resolved partial discharge analysis(PRPDA), has been established for the on-line monitoring system during the past decades. However, this method has shown some inconveniences to distinguish the nature of the PD source in power apparatus. In this regard, a novel approach based on the chaotic analysis(CAPD) is proposed describing the fundamental ideas, outcomes and different view points from conventional PRPDA. In order to make a model for the possible defects causing sudden failures in service, several types of specimen were prepared. And partial discharge signals, originated from those samples, were measured and analysed by means of PRPDA and CAPD respectively. Throughout this paper, it seems that the correlation between the consecutive PD pulses depending on the nature of PD could be investigated by CAPD. Therefore, it could be considered that the nature of PD source can be distinguished more distinctively when the PRPDA is combined with CAPD.

In order to improve T-N and T-P removal in HF (horizontal flow)-HF hybrid constructed wetlands by natural purification method for treating the hydroponic wastewater in greenhouses, the efficiency of water treatment as affected by the injection method of hydroponic wastewater, the addition of special filter media, the particle size of filter media, and the injection ratio of hydroponic wastewater in $1^{st}$ HF and $2^{nd}$ HF beds were investigated in small-scale HF-HF hydroponic wastewater treatment apparatus. Removal rate of T-P in the water in HF-HF hydroponic wastewater treatment apparatus with calcite as affected by addition method of special filter media was higher than that in HF-HF hydroponic wastewater treatment apparatus with other filter media. Removal rate of BOD, COD, SS, T-N and T-P in the water in mixed filter media with calcite were 86, 84, 87, 50 and 97%, respectively. Removals of pollutants except for T-P in the water were slightly different. Therefore, it should be considered that the removal rate of T-P was good for calcite in HF-HF hydroponic wastewater treatment apparatus. To improve T-N and T-P removal, the optimum particle size of filter media was 1.2 mm, and the optimum injection ratio ($1^{st}$ HF bed : $2^{nd}$ HF bed) of hydroponic wastewater was 60:40.

자연정화공법에 의한 축산폐수처리장에서 효과적으로 축산폐수를 처리하기 위해 인공습지 축산폐수처리 시스템에 전처리방법으로 수생식물여과조와 활성슬러지조를 적용하여 최적 전처리방법을 조사하였다. 또한, 최적 전처리방법을 실제 현장 축산폐수처리장에 연계하여 시공한 후 전처리방법의 효율성과 안전성을 검토하였다. 수생식물여과조와 인공습지를 연계한 소형 축산폐수처리장치에서 최종방류수 중 COD, SS, T-N 및 T-P의 처리효율은 각각 83, 89, 63 및 87%이었다. 활성슬러지조와 자연정화공법을 연계한 소형 축산폐수처리장치에서 최종방류수 중 COD, SS, T-N 및 T-P의 처리효율은 각각 96, 95, 86 및 92%이었다. 수생식물여과조 및 활성슬러지조는 인공습지 축산폐수처리장의 전처리공법으로서 질소와 인 처리효율을 향상시킬 수 있어 고농도의 축산폐수를 안정적으로 처리하기 위해 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 최적 전처리방법을 연계한 실제 현장 축산폐수처리장에서 COD, SS, T-N 및 T-P 의 처리효율은 모든 조건에서 각각 99.8, 99.9, 99.2 및 99.9%으로 높은 처리효율을 보였다.

In this work, the heterogeneous ion exchange membrane was used in a electrodialysis apparatus to treat a Ni planting rinse water because the heterogeneous ion exchange membrane was excellent efficiency as compared with low manufacturing cost, was easy to make, and had a good mechanical properties. For a regeneration of membrane and to obtain the optimal condition for a scale-up of apparatus after treating Ni plating rinse water, we would find about the limiting current density and the concentration polarization. When the Ni plating rinse water 150mg/L was treated with the electrodialysis apparatus using the heterogeneous ion exchange membrane, the limiting current density was about $1.49{\;}mA/\textrm{cm}^2$. And the limiting current density increased with the flow rate and concentration of Ni plating rinse water. We recognized that the used membrane could be reused by periodic backwashing because efficiency was constant when the membrane was backwashed after treating wastewater.

The aim of this study was to develop an ultrasonic tooth-whitening apparatus using piezoelectric transducers, which enhance bleaching efficiency by applying ultrasound, while performing a teeth whitening procedure. For this purpose, an ultrasonic transducer was designed and manufactured, and the effects of reduction in the whitening material's concentration and in the whitening treatment time through using the ultrasound cavitation phenomenon were confirmed. Also, the validity of this study was investigated by comparing the whitening performance with a commercialized optical whitener, through color comparison. The results revealed that the ultrasound whitener produced color values that were enhanced by as much as double that of the conventional LED light whitening method. Even when the operational time was reduced by half, the ultrasound method showed superior performance by over 54% compared to the conventional light whitener, revealing that the ultrasound method showed a remarkable treatment reduction effect.

소규모 축산농가로부터 발생되는 축산폐수를 효과적으로 처리하기 위한 인공습지를 개발하기 위하여 인공습지에서 가장 중요한 인자 중 하나인 최적 여재의 선정에 관하여 연구하였다. 최적여재를 선정하기 위하여 여재를 왕사, 쇄석, 제올라이트 및 방해석으로 달리하여 충진한 후 각 여재별 축산폐수 처리효율 조사한 결과 COD 처리효율은 왕사가 다른 여재에 비하여 높았고, SS 처리효율은 모든 여재에서 94-95%로 큰 차이 없었다. 또한 T-N 처리효율은 제올라이트가 다른 여재에 비해 높았고, T-P 처리효율은 방해석이 다른여재에 비해 높았다. 이상의 결과에서 COD, SS, T-N 및 T-P 모두를 안정적으로 처리할 수 있는 최적여재는 왕사였다. 소형 축산폐수처리장치에서 질소와 인 처리효율을 극대화 하기 위해 호기성조 (왕사:쇄석:방해석=3:2:1)와 혐기성조 (왕사:쇄석:제올라이트=3:2:1)에 혼합여재를 주입한 결과 최적 여재인 왕사에 비해 질소 및 인처리효율이 각각 15% 및 7% 향상되었다.

Background: Complex regional pain syndrome type I (CRPS-I) consists of disorders caused by spontaneous pain or induced by some stimulus. The objective was to verify the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) using 830 nm wavelength light at the affected paw and involved spinal cord segments during the warm or acute phase. Methods: Fifty-six mice were randomized into seven groups. Group (G) 1 was the placebo group; G2 and G3 were treated with PBM on the paw in the warm and acute phase, respectively; G4 and G5 treated with PBM on involved spinal cord segments in the warm and acute phase, respectively; G6 and G7 treated with PBM on paw and involved spinal cord segments in the warm and acute phase, respectively. Edema degree, thermal and mechanical hyperalgesia, skin temperature, and functional quality of gait (Sciatic Static Index [SSI] and Sciatic Functional Index [SFI]) were evaluated. Results: Edema was lower in G3 and G7, and these were the only groups to return to baseline values at the end of treatment. For thermal hyperalgesia only G3 and G5 returned to baseline values. Regarding mechanical hyperalgesia, the groups did not show significant differences. Thermography showed increased temperature in all groups on the seventh day. In SSI and SFI assessment, G3 and G7 showed lower values when compared to G1, respectively. Conclusions: PBM irradiation in the acute phase and in the affected paw showed better results in reducing edema, thermal and mechanical hyperalgesia, and in improving gait quality, demonstrating efficacy in treatment of CRPS-I symptoms.
