The separation of $TiO_2$ wastewater carried out by an electrocoagulation/flotation process, which had various operating parameters. The effect of electrode material (aluminum and four dimensionally stable electrode), applied current (0.07~0.5 A), electrolyte concentration (0~1 g/L), solution pH (3~11), initial turbidity (1000~20000 NTU) and suspended solid concentration (5000~25000 mg/L) were evaluated. Turbidity removal efficiency of the soluble anode (aluminum), which could produce metal ions, was higher than that of the dimensionally stable electrode. Considering operation time, turbidity removal and electric power, optimum current was 0.19 A. The more NaCl dosage was high, the less electric power was required. However, optimum NaCl concentration was 0.125 g/L considered removal efficiency, operation time and cost. Initial $TiO_2$ concentration did not affected turbidity removal on the electrocoagulation/flotation operation. The electrocoagulation/flotation process was proved to be a very effective separation method in the removal of $TiO_2$ from wastewater.

The removal of turbidity from $TiO_2$ wastewater by an electrocoagulation/flotation process was studied in a batch reactor. The response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to evaluate the simple and combined effects of the three main independent parameters, current, NaCl dosage and initial pH of the $TiO_2$ solution on the turbidity removal efficiency, and to optimize the operating conditions of the treatment process. The reaction of electrocoagulation/flotation was modeled by use of the Box-Behnken method, which was used for the fitting of a 2nd order response surface model. The application of RSM yielded the following regression equation, which is an empirical relationship between the turbidity removal efficiency of $TiO_2$ wastewater and test variables in uncoded unit: Turbidity removal (%)=69.76+59.76Current+11.98NaCl+4.67pH+5.00Current${\times}$pH-160.11$Current^2-0.34pH^2$. The optimum current, NaCl dosage and pH of the $TiO_2$ solution to reach maximum removal rates were found to be 0.186 A, 0.161 g/l and 7.599, respectively. This study clearly showed that response surface methodology was one of the most suitable method to optimize the operating conditions for maximizing the turbidity removal. Graphical response surface and contour plots were used to locate the optimum point.

Turbidity currents, often develop after heavy storm events, deliver various non-point pollutants and tend to lead eutrophication, depressed dissolved oxygen, and sedimentation in reservoirs. Field observations were performed to investigate the flow regimes of turbidity currents and their impact on reservoir water quality in Daecheong Reservoir. A 2D laterally-averaged hydrodynamic and water quality model was applied to simulate the temporal and spatial distributions of turbidity in the reservoir, and evaluated by comparing with the field data.

본 연구에서는 저수지에 유입된 부유사 밀도류에 의해 유사가 포집되는 현상을 모의하기 위한 수치모형을 제시하였다. 개발된 모형을 Toniolo and Schultz (2005)의 실내 실험에 적용하여, 부유사 밀도류의 전파, 하도형태의 변화, 그리고 댐에 의한 유사의 포집현상을 모의하였다. 삼각주의 전면층에서 침강된 밀도류가 빠르게 댐까지 전파된 후, 댐에 의해 차단되고 두께가 증가되어 상류로 영향을 전파하는 일련의 과정을 모의하였다. 또한, 소류사와 부유사에 의해 저수지 삼각주에서 전면층이 전진하고, 부유사에 의해 기저층의 두께가 상승하는 현상을 잘 모의하였다. 댐 취수구의 높이에 따른 밀도류의 최대 두께와 내부 도수 발생 위치를 확인하였다. 유사 포집 효율은 수치모형으로 실측 결과의 값을 적절히 모의하였으나, 실험의 한계로 인해 댐 취수구의 높이와 포집 효율과의 관계는 찾아볼 수 없었다. 수치모의 결과를 이용하여 유사 포집 효율의 민감도 분석을 수행한 결과 부유사의 입자 크기가 포집 효율에 가장 민감하게 작용하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper described the results of the characteristics of the near-bottom flow and field analysis of the tidal flats sediment. It was the aim of this paper to grasp current flow of tidal flat's environment and influence factor for environmental change forecast of tidal flats. Field measurement of water velocity, water elevation, bed materials test, and temperature distribution of tidal flat were conducted. Thereafter, current flow, turbidity and temperature distribution of tidal flat sediment have been discussed. The field research results showed that the fluctuating velocity near the seabed before and after its appearance at low tide was strongly affected by the wind wave. The resuspension of the sea-bottom sediment took place with great intensity before and after the appearance of the seabed at low tide. Both the sea water level and the weather condition were a significant influential factors. Such as, temperature and turbidity just on the surface and the shallow layer of seabed sediments were varied largely with time and weather conditions, but that its deeper layers was almost constant. Temperature on the seabed sediments was strongly influenced by irradiance and water depth. The temperature variation of the tidal flat and the variation characteristics of the current flow and turbidity depend greatly on the inhabiting environment of the tidal flat benthic organism.

금강 하구의 에스추어리 환경에서 6차에 걸친 야외조사 및 정선관측이 행해졌 다. 각 조사시기는 모두 다른 조차와 하천배수량의 조건을 보여 주는 기간이었다. 이 연구의 결과로서 금강하구에서의 세립질 퇴적물 퇴적작용에 최대 혼탁수의 형성 과 그 변화가 미치는 영향이 지대함이 나타났다. 금강 에스추어리의 최대혼탁수는 일차적으로 입구에서의 조차가 클 때는 나타나는 현상이며, 바닥 퇴적물의 재부유 에 의해 형성되어 진다. 이 환경에서는 최대 혼탁수가 지속적으로 유지되어 지지 않고, 반일, 반월 및 계절주기의 변화를 나타낸다. 반일 조석주기 동안에는 조류 유 속의 변화로 말미암 아세립질 퇴적물의 퇴적과 재부유가 반복되어 진다. 한편, 최대 혼탁수의 중심은 창조류와 낙조류가 반복되는 것에 상응하여 상-하류 이동을 반복 한다. 채대 혼탁수는 대조기-소조기의 변화에 따른 15주기의 변화를 나타낸다. 이렇 게 하여, 최대 혼탁수는 소조기 동안에 쇠퇴하고 대조기 동안에 확장된다. 하천 배 수량의 계절변화도 또한 최대 혼탁수의 생성과 소멸에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 우기 에 하천배수량이 증가하게 되면 조류가 낙조류 우세를 나타내고, 부유퇴적물들은 쉽게 외해로 유출되어 에스추어리 내에서의 체류시간이 감소되어 진다. 따라서, 이 와 같은 많은 하천배수량의 시기에는, 최대 혼탁수의 발단은 오직 대조기 동안으로 만 국한되어 지며, 조차가 감소함에 따라 최대 혼탁수는 소멸한다.

The Electrocoagulation-Flotation (ECF) process has great potential in wastewater treatment. ECF technology is effective in the removal of colloidal particles, oil-water emulsion, organic pollutants such as microalgae, and heavy metals. Numerous studies have been conducted on ECF; however, many of them used a conventional plate-type aluminum anode. In this study, we determined the effect of changing operational parameters such as power supply time, applied current, NaCl concentration, and pH on the turbidity removal efficiency of kaoline. We also determined the effects of different electrolyte types (NaCl, $MgSO_4$, $CaCl_2$, $Na_2SO_4$, and tap water), as well as the differences caused by using a plate-type and mesh-type aluminum anode, on the turbidity removal efficiency. The results showed that the optimal values of ECF time, applied current, NaCl concentration, and pH were 5 min, 0.35 A, 0.4 g/L NaCl in distilled water, and pH 7, respectively. The results also revealed that the turbidity removal efficiency of kaoline in different electrolytes decreased in the following sequence, given the same conductivity: tap water > $CaCl_2$ > $MgSO_4$ > NaCl > $Na_2SO_4$. The turbidity removal efficiency of the mesh-type aluminum anode was significantly greater than the plate-type aluminum anode.

Treatment of textile wastewater by the electrocoagulation (EC) process is being investigated by this experimental study. The objective of this experiment is to observe the efficiency of the EC process in removing chemical oxygen demand (COD) and turbidity. In this experiment an iron electrode is used in the EC process, and different working parameters such as pH, current density and operating time were studied in an attempt to achieve a higher removal capacity. The results show that the maximum COD removal occurred at neutral pH at operating time 30 min. COD and turbidity removal reaches at maximum, with optimum consumption of electrodes, between current density 85-95 $A/m^2$, and only trace amounts of metals were determined in the EC treated effluent.

This study examined intakes of nutrients, carotenoids and polyphenols according to lens turbidity levels among adults visiting a cataract clinic. A total of 102 males and females aged 40 years or higher agreed to participate in the study, and a face-to-face survey interview was conducted to obtain information on general characteristics, health behaviors, and dietary intakes of each participant. The dietary data were collected by a food frequency questionnaire which was previously validated in a Korean population. In addition to essential nutrients, intakes of a total of 10 carotenoids and polyphenols were calculated based on the tables of food functional composition developed by National Academy of Agricultural Science. The subjects were divided into 3 groups according to turbidity levels (< 16, ${\geq}16$ and < 25, ${\leq}25$), and health behaviors and dietary intakes were compared among the turbidity groups. Data showed seemingly higher energy intake and lower dietary antioxidant (i.e., vitamin A, ${\beta}$-carotene, lutein, zeazanthin, lycopene, cryptozanthin) intakes in the highest turbidity group. However, no statistically significant findings were found in all the comparative analysis on characteristics of health behavior and intakes of nutrients, carotenoids and polyphenols. The current study findings should be cautiously interpreted in consideration of several limitations including a cross-sectional study design, a small sample size, uneven sample size distribution across turbidity groups, and limited generalizability due to using a convenience sample. Therefore we cannot conclude that the risk of cataract is unrelated with dietary antioxidant intakes based solely on the results of this study.
